CTS Eventim returns to record figures in Q1/2009
Revenue increases by approx. 47% to EUR 119.0 million / EBIT grows by 95% EUR 18.1 million / Consolidated net income almost doubled to EUR 10.2 million / Internet ticketing volume expands by around 63% / 78 million visitors to the online portals
Munich, 14.05.2009. The CTS Group maintained its strong growth rate in the first quarter of 2009. CTS EVENTIM AG, listed in the SDAX index (ISIN DE 0005470306), is Europe's market leader in the ticketing field and the world's third-biggest provider of live entertainment. In the months from January to March 2009, the CTS Group won additional market shares and achieved high double-digit growth in all segments. The main growth drivers were the large number of attractive concerts and tours, and rigorous expansion of the company's high-margin Internet ticketing business.
In the first quarter of 2009, the CTS Group generated EUR 119.0 million in revenue (Q1/2008: EUR 81.0 million, up 46.9%), an EBIT of EUR 18.1 million (Q1/2008: EUR 9.3 million, up 95.2%) and an EBITDA of EUR 20.2 million (Q1/2008: EUR 10.9 million, up 85.3%). Consolidated net income amounted to EUR 10.2 million (Q1/2008: EUR 5.2 million, up 96.8%), and earnings per share to EUR 0.42 (Q1/2008: EUR 0.22).
In the Ticketing segment, substantially higher revenue and earnings figures are mainly attributable to high-margin ticket sales via the Internet. Between 1 January and 31 March 2009, the CTS Group sold around 3.2 million tickets via the Internet, a year-on-year increase of around 63% (Q1/2008: around 2.0 million). During the quarter, the Group's online portals logged almost 78 million (Q1/2008: 50.1 million). With revenue at EUR 35.9 million before consolidation of segments (Q1/2008: EUR 24.0 million, up 49.4%), an EBIT of EUR 10.6 million was generated. This figure is 74.2% higher than the EUR 6.1 million achieved in Q1/2008. EBITDA rose to EUR 12.2 million, a 65.8% year-on-year improvement on the Q1/2008 figure of EUR 7.3 million).
The Live Entertainment segment generated EUR 83.9 million in revenue (Q1/2008: EUR 57.7 million, up 45.4%). EBIT came in at EUR 7.5 million (Q1/2008: EUR 3.2 million, up 135.0%), while EBITDA increased to EUR 8.0 million (Q1/2008: EUR 3.6 million, up 125.5%).
During the current business year, efforts will be focused on intensification of Internet ticketing operations, expanding to other countries by making acquisitions and on continued implementation of the long-term cooperation agreement concluded with Live Nation in December 2007 and successfully launched at the start of the year.
At today's Shareholders' Meeting, the Management Board and Supervisory Board will propose a dividend for the 2008 business year of EUR 0.61 on each of the 24 million no-par bearer shares (2007 dividend: EUR 0.49). Around EUR 14.6 million is to be distributed in total, compared to EUR 11.8 million in 2008. This will be the fourth year in succession that the Group has paid a dividend.
The full interim report will be available on the Internet at www.eventim.de in both German and English, in an online version and in download form, as from 29 May 2009. | {

If you want to take your cycling to the next level, learning more about the SOLE E25 Elliptical Machine is not a bad idea.
As usual we provide our GVCC members with useful reviews and content with respect to cycling and fitness, so with out further ado, here comes our latest review in a series of 5; the SOLE E25 elliptical trainer review.
While treadmills provide a great way to do cardiovascular workout, the impact on joints when using these machines can be quite harmful.
If you have suffered knee or foot injuries, treadmill machines may not be recommendable for you. This is where elliptical machines, such as the SOLE Fitness E25, come in and have proven to be a much better choice than treadmills. An elliptical machine offers a perfect way to perform workouts. What makes this machine ideal is the fact that it reduces the amount of impact on your joints without compromising on the quality of workout.
The SOLE E25 elliptical machine provides challenging cardio workouts, thanks to its ground-breaking cardio-workout technology. With its patented SOLE E25 elliptical technology, this easy-to-operate personal gym equipment boasts a fluid natural motion provided by a noiseless drive system which runs in both forward and backward motion. This gives an incredible physical activity as well as a natural human movement. Read these elliptical trainer fitness tips from Lincoln Laboratory Fitness Center, Massachusetts Institute of Technology for a great overview of the benefits. Also check out the more in-depth SOLE Fitness E25 review from John Williams over at ellipticalwatch.com, for an extensive pros and cons list.
With an extraordinary blend of cutting-edge features and technical specifications; the SOLE E25 elliptical machine takes your cardio-workout routine to another level.
Electronic console with blue-black lit 6.5-inch LCD display, perfectly shows you fitness essentials.
Built-in pulse grip heart rate monitor.
The SOLE E25 elliptical trainers comes with a 38mm steel frame.
10 integrated workouts cater to all your specific training needs.
20 levels of resistance, 20 increasing incline levels offer workout variety.
Built-in fan to keep you from getting too hot.
Articulating oversized pedals with 2-degree slope inward to simulate natural stride, reduce impact.
Wireless chest strap accurately keeps track of your heart rate.
Water bottle holder for hydration.
Multimedia capability allows you to train while being inspired by your favorite artists and songs.
The SOLE E25 elliptical trainer is equipped with a heavy 19-pound flywheel as well as a high gear ratio not found in its counterparts. As a result, this easy-to-use workout equipment delivers an extremely fluid performance and plenty of top-end resistance, allowing it to function pretty much like a high-end trainer.
The E25 elliptical trainer comes with custom designed foot pedals. These rare elliptical machine components were developed with the help of a renowned physical therapist. Together with the manufacturer, they designed a 2-degree inward slope to the foot pedals which minimizes ankle and knee stress common in most brands of elliptical machines on the market.
What's more, the manufacturer understands that not everyone walks the same. For this reason, they made the pedals articulating to fit your walking style. This unique feature also minimizes the numb toe effects and sore Achilles tendons, allowing you to concentrate less on being uncomfortable and more on hitting your target.
In fact this is the feature that sets the E25 elliptical trainer from other brands out there. The Power Incline feature creates a totally different training which is targeted to areas of the lower body that usually wouldn't be worked out on a non-Power Incline elliptical trainer.
This feature-laden elliptical trainer from SOLE Fitness comes with a strong and heavy 38 mm steel frame, which is designed to support user weight capacity of up to 350 pounds.
While both an elliptical machine and a treadmill offer an incredible workout routine, they are dissimilar in terms of so many aspects including effectiveness, how to use each one of them and so on.
Your E25 elliptical machine from SOLE will come with an instructional manual carrying all the information you need on how to set the machine up and operate it. Read through the manually carefully to make sure that setup has been completed properly and that you know how to operate your trainer before you step on it.
As a way to keep your arms moving along with your legs for enhanced workout efficiency.
As a safety and comfort feature to help you feel safeguarded and supported.
Do not grip the handles too tightly; a light grip should be enough. As you mount the machine, begin with the pedals in the neutral position, next to one another and parallel to the floor.
Take hold of the handles as you step on the pedals and keep them in neutral position as you enter a series of instructions into your machine so that it can begin running efficiently.
As said before, the E25 is an elliptical trainer that packs a number of features, and you will want to get well conversant with each one of them to be able to gain the most out of the machine.
For instance, depending on your strength and comfort, you can adjust the resistance of the pedals for less or more. Your machine will also come with a built-in pulse grip heart rate monitor, so you can keep your heart rate in the target zone for the most effective training. It is always advisable to make adjustments and change programming as well as resistance before you begin working out.
NB: Avoid trying to press buttons and change programs while moving.
You should maintain a proper posture as you train on your elliptical equipment. To get the best results, try to keep your head straight and body upright.
Leaning on the front bar of the machine is not advisable.
Take your training to the next level as you hit your fitness goals with the E25 elliptical trainer from SOLE. With its patented sole e25 elliptical technology, this easy-to-use aerobics or cardio-workout equipment is designed to suit all your workout needs. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why it has consistently received lots of top reviews as well as ratings from the most reliable consumer review magazines and websites.
And what's surprising about the SOLE E25 elliptical trainer is the fact that despite its ground-breaking features, it actually goes for less than $1000. | {

We've know about a drop-top version of the Range Rover Evoque for some time, but now Land Rover has confirmed the convertible SUV will be officially unveiled at the LA Motor Show later this month ahead of UK sales next Spring. Shown initially in concept form at the 2012 Geneva show, the drop-top Evoque marks a return to Land Rover's heritage of building soft-top off-roaders. The confirmation marks an end to three years of debate within the firm about the car's business case rather than engineering viability, according to company insiders. Strong demand is expected, particularly from the USA, while a production version could get its airing by the middle of this year.
Official details are still thin on the ground, but Land Rover confirmed it will be "the most capable convertible in the world" and will be built alongside the five-door and coupe Evoque models at its plant in Halewood, Merseyside. And by studying these pictures, a few more things are clear to be seen. The folding fabric roof can be seen sitting on the rear deck in the style of the MINI Convertible – whether the production mechanism will look like this or fold neatly into a compartment isn't yet clear. It will also have a full four-seater layout, although boot size will inevitably suffer.
Additional bracing for the Evoque's ageing steel chassis is likely to be required, to maintain torsional rigidity, along with the electrics and motors for the roof system. The additional weight that brings will harm fuel economy and handling slightly, but Jaguar Land Rover's new Ingenium engine family means efficiency should still be impressive.
Fitted with a 148bhp 2.0-litre diesel and two-wheel drive, the recently updated fixed-roof Evoque returns 68mpg and 109g/km of CO2. That makes it the most economical and efficient car the firm has ever produced. Land Rover has even developed a clever Roll Over Protection System (ROPS) that won't pop up errantly in extreme off-road situations. There's a nod towards the full-size Range Rover in the drop-down tailgate, too. Expect prices for the Evoque Convertible to start from around £40,000. | {

To become a talented entrepreneur or learn everything about e-commerce, one has to master various business related subjects. All of these courses are very difficult and time-demanding.

Laws aimed toward transgender folks is an election technique, journalist says
March 6, 2021 2 min read
The Republican Party is turning to old tactics to build a new coalition after losing control of the Senate and Presidency in the 2020 elections.
Politico's national political correspondent Gabby Orr said Friday the GOP's strategy to pass laws banning transgender female athletes from women's sports teams was motivated by its goal of overcoming election failures and recovering local voters.
"My sources, who are going behind the scenes on this issue and who want Republicans to talk about it, think this could be something that resonates … not just with non-ideological voters – when labeled a justice issue – but also with the socially conservative grassroots voters that the Republican Party has to bring out, "Orr said.
Mississippi is poised to become the first state against transgender people this year after its legislature passed a law banning transgender women from competing in women's sports in schools and universities. Republican Governor Tate Reeves tweeted Thursday night that he would sign the bill.
Orr warned, however, that the strategy could "absolutely" shut down moderates.
"We've seen some of the loudest voices talking about it in the GOP are Marjorie Taylor Greene (Georgia Congressman) and Ted Cruz (Senator from Texas). So they're not exactly popular politicians with moderate voters, let alone suburbanites Women, "Orr told CNBC's" The News with Shepard Smith. "" There is a risk that the GOP will backfire at a time when we really saw the country's trend in support of anti-discrimination laws, including Republicans. " "
Orr cited a poll by the Public Religion Research Institute that found that 61% of Republicans were in favor of non-discrimination protection for LGBTQ Americans in 2020. That was five percentage points more than in 2019.
Idaho passed a law last year banning transgender women from competing in women's sports, but one federal district suspended the law and it wasn't enacted. At least 26 states have introduced similar bills across the country.

You Keep Me Hangin' On är en låt skriven av Brian Holland, Edward Holland Jr och Lamont Dozier och ursprungligen inspelad av The Supremes år 1966. Låten blev The Supremes åttonde listetta då den toppade Billboardlistan mellan den 13 och 27 november 1966.
Bakgrund
The Supremes släppte låten som singel den 12 oktober 1966 och på B-sidan fanns Remove This Doubt. You Keep Me Hangin' On skilde sig från deras vanliga, mjuka soulpop och var istället mer funkig rhythm and blues. Då låten spelades in hade The Supremes nämligen börjat tänka i nya musikaliska banor. Exempelvis hade deras föregående singel, You Can't Hurry Love, tydliga influenser av gospel.
Många delar av inspelningen - däribland gitarrerna, trummorna och Diana Ross sång - dubbelinspelades för att skapa en illusion av ett eko. Denna teknik användes flitigt under stora delar av 60-talet, bland annat av Phil Spector och George Martin.
Låten var den första singeln från deras album The Supremes Sing Holland-Dozier-Holland från 1967. När tidskriften Rolling Stone gjorde listan The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time, så hamnade You Keep Me Hangin' On med The Supremes på plats 339.
Coverversioner
Det har gjorts åtskilliga covers på låten, och många andra artister har haft en hit med den.
Vanilla Fudge spelade in en psykedelisk version av låten som blev en hit år 1967. Deras version tog sig upp till sjätte plats på Billboardlistan. Singelversionen var knappt tre minuter lång medan albumversionen 6:45 minuter lång. Låten spelades in under en enda tagning och var Vanilla Fudges första singel.
Kim Wilde fick en hit med låten år 1986. Hennes version är uppdaterad och upp-popad och finns med på hennes album Another Step. Kim Wilde spelade in en helt omarbetad version som var avsedd att föra The Supremes sound till 1980-talet. Hon och hennes bror, skivproducenten Ricki Wilde, hade inte hört låten på flera år då de bestämde sig för att spela in den. De kände inte till låten särskilt väl, så de behandlade den som en nyskriven låt. De ändrade till och med några textrader. Det blev den största hiten under Kim Wildes karriär, och den låg etta på listorna runt om världen.
Låten tolkades av countrysångerskan Reba McEntire på albumet Starting Over år 1996. Hennes version tog sig upp till andra plats på Hot Dance Club Play.
Låten tolkades i ett avsnitt av TV-serien Glee.
Även Rod Stewart har tolkat låten.
Madness spelade in låten till albumet The Dangermen Sessions Vol. 1.
Kim Wildes Version
"You Keep Me Hangin' On" var inspelad i en uppdaterad version av den brittiska sångerskan Kim Wilde år 1986. Den var släppt som den andra singeln från hennes album Another Step.
Wildes version var en helt omgjord jämfört med The Supremes originalversion. Kim och hennes bror Ricki Wilde hade inte hört låten på ett antal år och bestämde sig för att spela in den. Det var en bra idé för det blev nämligen hennes största hit i hennes hela karriär. Kims version blev listetta i flera länder världen över, bland annat i USA:s hot billboard top 100. I hennes hemland, Storbritannien, lyckades hennes version nå en andra plats på topplaceringarna.

WR FA
Mitchell officially announced his retirement at a University of Georgia event on Friday, Doug Kyed of NESN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Mitchell wasn't able to play in a NFL game since his heroics during Super Bowl LI, as knee injuries effectively ended his career. The 2016 fourth-round pick will be fondly remembered by Patriots fans after tallying six catches for 70 yards in the aforementioned come-from-behind Super Bowl win, capping off a rookie season in which he caught 32 passes for 401 yards and four touchdowns.
Mitchell underwent another surgery to address a chronic right knee issue in August, two days after he was released from the Patriots, Kevin Duffy of the Boston Herald reports.
Mitchell, a 2016 fourth-round pick, has yet to play an NFL down since recording six receptions for 70 yards in the Patriots' comeback victory over the Falcons in Super Bowl LI. Knee concerns limited Mitchell during his college career at Georgia, and it appears the 26-year-old's health hasn't improved much since he entered the professional ranks. He's hopeful the latest knee procedure will allow him to return at full strength for the 2019 season, so look for him to perhaps surface in training camp with the Patriots or another team next summer.
The Patriots will release Mitchell (knee), Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
When healthy, the 2016 fourth-rounder is a heady wideout with solid route-running and ball skills, but Mitchell has had trouble staying healthy as a pro and his lingering knee woes have led to the Patriots moving on from the 25-year-old.
Mitchell (knee) is considered to be day-to-day, Jeff Howe of The Athletic Boston reports.
Mitchell received treatment on his injured right knee Monday. It remains to be seen whether he'll play in the teams first preseason contest against the Redskins on Aug. 9. Mitchell projects as a depth receiver and special teams asset for New England in 2018.
Mitchell (knee) was on the rehab field at Friday's practice, Jeff Howe of The Athletic reports.
It's a small step in the right direction just four days after Mitchell had a minor non-surgical procedure on his troublesome knee. He avoided the PUP list for the start of training camp, but his participation has been limited to jogging, stretching and observing. The Patriots are rumored to be seeking a trade for Mitchell, though he probably wouldn't fetch anything more than a late-round pick. There is some potential for a significant role if he sticks with the team and gets healthy, as Julian Edelman's four-game suspension means that Chris Hogan is the only New England wideout assured of a Week 1 starting job.
The knee procedure Mitchell underwent recently was "more aimed at hoping to accelerate healing," per Ian Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
The fact that Mitchell did not undergo major surgery on his balky knee is encouraging, but the Patriots nonetheless appear poised to move on from the 2016 fourth-rounder. Mitchell displayed promise as a rookie, but chronic knee issues have derailed his tenure with New England since then. Despite the fact that Julian Edelman is slated to serve a four-game suspension to start the season, Mitchell appears to be the odd man out in a deep wideout corps that also includes newcomers Jordan Matthews, Cordarrelle Patterson and 2017 late-season acquisition Kenny Britt. When available, Mitchell is a heady player, whose route-running and ball skills can be assets, but at this stage it looks like he'll likely be catching passes in a new locale this coming season, health permitting.
Mitchell (knee) underwent a procedure on his knee Monday and isn't expected to be on the field for the start of training camp, Mark Daniels of the Providence Journal reports.
The procedure Mitchell underwent was reportedly an effort to determine the extent and cause of the knee injury that prevented the receiver from taking the field in 2017. While it's true that Mitchell is a promising prospect who flashed at times during his rookie year, the Patriots are rumored to be growing frustrated with his inability to stay on the field. In fact, Daniels indicated that if New England is unable to find a trade partner, it's possible Mitchell could be waived or released with an injury settlement before the start of the regular season.
Mitchell (knee) has been mentioned in trade talks, Tom Pelissero of NFL.com reports.
The Patriots probably wouldn't get anything more than a late-round pick, as Mitchell was limited to individual work during the offseason after missing all of 2017 with a knee injury. He did manage 8.4 yards per target and four touchdowns on 32 catches as a rookie fourth-round pick in 2016, serving as the team's No. 4 receiver during a Super Bowl run. The Patriots' willingness to deal Mitchell hints at some degree of confidence that Kenny Britt (hamstring), Phillip Dorsett and/or Cordarrelle Patterson can handle meaningful snaps at outside receiver. Julian Edelman's four-game suspension likely will give Jordan Matthews an opportunity to patrol the slot early in the year. It isn't clear if Mitchell will be available Thursday for the first practice of training camp.
Mitchell (knee) isn't sure if he will be ready for training camp, Steve Hewitt of The Boston Herald reports.
According to NESN's Zack Cox, Mitchell was limited to individual conditioning work at June minicamp, after making just one brief appearance at OTAs in May. Despite missing the entire 2017 season and most of the offseason program this year, Mitchell should have the chance to earn a significant role if he's cleared to practice in July or August. With Julian Edelman facing a four-game suspension, Chris Hogan is the only Patriots wideout with a Week 1 starting job locked down. Mitchell hopes to compete with Jordan Matthews (knee), Phillip Dorsett, Kenny Britt, Cordarrelle Patterson and Braxton Berrios.
Mitchell (knee), who was on the practice field Monday, wasn't spotted during Tuesday's OTA session, Paul Perillo of the Patriots' official site reports.
Mitchell missed the entire 2017 season due to a lingering knee issue, so we suspect that the Patriots are inclined to manage his reps at this stage. Assuming he re-proves his health, Mitchell will look to secure a role in the offense behind top wide receiver options Julian Edelman and Chris Hogan. Also battling for depth chart slotting are Jordan Matthews, Phillip Dorsett, Kenny Britt, Cordarrelle Patterson and Braxton Berrios. Mitchell, a 2016 fourth-rounder displayed promise as a rookie, but he isn't guaranteed anything heading into the coming season. We suspect that he'll end up securing a roster spot, health permitting, but Matthews looks like a solid bet to earn playing time and in such a context Mitchell's path to regular targets would be murky. | {

A New Saudi State?

The demise of King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia in January 2015 was only the latest in a long string of deaths among senior Al Saud brothers who had dominated Saudi politics since the early 1960s. Yet different from previous changes of guard, it has ushered in a new era of Saudi politics. Under Abdullah's half-brother and successor King Salman, the ruling elite has been fundamentally reconfigured at a pace that few observers had expected: After decades of collective princely rule, political power is now almost entirely concentrated in the hands of Salman and his 31-year old favourite son Mohammad, whom he made second deputy prime minister and deputy crown prince in April 2015. While Mohammad bin Salman's 26 year older cousin Crown Prince Mohammad bin Naif is technically his senior, Mohammad bin Salman has played a much more central and visible role in policy-making since 2015.
Before 2015 a range of powerful, ageing princes kept each other in check and often slowed down policy-making to a crawl. Now, most policies are driven by the King's young son, with input from a small set of commoner advisors and international consultants. This centralisation of power within the elite has led to a drastic acceleration in the pace of decisions. Combined with a brewing fiscal crisis due to low oil prices, this has greatly increased both upside and downside risks for the Kingdom. Politics in Saudi Arabia, long anaemic if not paralysed, has suddenly become unpredictable.
Since the collapse of oil prices in 2014, Saudi Arabia has faced double-digit fiscal deficits and a rapid drawdown of the overseas reserves held by its central bank, the Saudi Arabian Monetary Agency (SAMA).

The Kingdom has weathered fiscal crises before: After the first oil boom of the 1970s, it incurred deficits in every single year from 1983 to 1999, peaking at -25% of GDP in 1987. But back then, crisis management consisted of cutting infrastructure spending and otherwise hunkering down. Different from then, the government under Mohammad bin Salman has initiated full-on fiscal reforms that are set to slaughter many holy cows of the Saudi distributive state. The ambitious 2016–2020 'Fiscal Balance Program' aims to reform domestic energy prices, levy substantial fee on foreign workers, introduce VAT and various excise taxes, and subject both operational and capital expenditure to a thorough review.
The Program has found general approval among economists and international financial institutions. While it does not fix the Saudi economy by itself, it could give the government a considerably longer budgetary runway. It also aims to reduce economic distortions created by subsidised energy, while providing cash grants to compensate lower-income households for the resulting higher costs of living. It constitutes a great improvement over the ad-hoc, badly communicated public sector allowance cuts and freezes on contractor payments that scared the local private sector and led to a brief recession in the second half of 2016.
While low oil prices make fiscal reform inevitable, the new leadership has also initiated more speculative policies. These include the planned initial public offering (IPO) of up to 5% of national oil company Saudi Aramco, a project that many technocrats in the oil sector criticise in private, and that in effect represents a partial sale of the Kingdom's only reliable source of income. Many old Saudi hands see the planned investment of up to 45 billion USD in a new tech and venture capital fund operated by Japanese Softbank as similarly risky – especially at a time when liquid assets might be needed to defend the Saudi currency. Many of the economic targets of the 'Vision 2030' strategy document published in 2015 go in the right direction, but are practically unattainable as they implicitly require faster economic and export growth than any mid- or high-income country has ever attained in human history.
Seasoned observers and technocrats are worried about the delivery capacity of the bloated and fragmented Saudi bureaucracy which – despite all the change in the regime's top echelon – still looks pretty much the same on the operational level. Vision 2030 and the accompanying 2016–2020 'National Transformation Plan' contain hundreds of targets and initiatives, but give little sense of prioritisation or implementation mechanisms. The Saudi system might well lack the bandwidth to deal with the flurry of new initiatives.
One thing that seems certain is that in the short- to mid-term future, growth will remain modest as state spending is reined in and the government imposes increasing levels of domestic taxation. The local private economy is almost exclusively dependent on state-generated demand and its size has closely tracked that of government expenditure (see Figure 2). This means that lower net flows from government through either taxation or expenditure-side austerity will hit private business directly.
Figure 2: Private sector contribution to GDP vs. total government expenditure (million SR)
This will impact private job creation exactly at the time when it is most needed due to a de facto public sector hiring freeze. For the foreseeable future, Saudi households will remain deeply state-dependent. About two thirds of Saudis in employment continue to hold state jobs, while a good share of privately employed Saudis are in low-paid 'phantom jobs' that exist only to fulfil state-imposed Saudisation quotas.
While these are not great news for either job-seekers or entrepreneurs, the leadership has been able to impose a surprising amount of pain on businesses and households without creating any sign of open resistance. Saudis are grumbling about austerity but, at least for the time being, see no way to resist it. The Saudi distributive regime with its vast toolkit of patronage and co-optation has historically prevented independent social and political groups from emerging. This provides the leadership with considerable political autonomy – probably more of it than previous kings, instinctively afraid of taking unpopular decisions, realised they had.
Control over political space has further tightened in recent years. Saudis are also discouraged from political mobilisation by a widespread fear of instability, stoked by the political chaos that has engulfed the Arab world in recent years. This all means that the leadership could have plenty more room to both pursue austerity and experiment with new economic policies.
Predicting political paralysis was a safe bet for Saudi watchers during the last 50 years. Now the only certainty seems to be that more surprises will emerge from what has become a much more centralised, personalised, and politically autonomous regime.
Mohammad bin Salman clearly remains in charge of most policy areas, but this also could change given formal rules of seniority and succession. Crown Prince and Minister of Interior Mohammad bin Naif has been laying low while his cousin's whirlwind of reforms unfolded. King Salman appears reasonably sprightly for his 81 years, but should he die, it seems more likely than not that the ruling family would stick to protocol and Mohammad bin Naif would emerge as the new King. Given the absence of strong rival power centres in the family, his rule would likely remain quite centralised. Given his different age, temperament and socialisation, however, his leadership might well bring the Kingdom back to a much more cautious and consensual style of elite decision making, with all its advantages and disadvantages.

As Deficit Shrinks, So Does Mandate for Sequester
Just as the National Institutes of Health prepares to cut the country's biomedical research budget, and Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel readies hundreds of thousands of civilian defense workers for furloughs, they may get a reprieve. New Congressional Budget Office projections this week showed substantial shrinkage in the federal budget deficit, which could alter the need for automatic across the board spending cuts this year and beyond.
The deficit has topped $1 trillion a year since the recession ended four year ago, but will plummet to about $642 billion, or 4 percent of the gross domestic product, in the current fiscal year ending Sept. 30, according to the CBO report. That's about $200 billion lower than the non-partisan budget agency projected just three months ago—and nearly three times the $85 billion of across the board defense and domestic spending cuts that were mandated this year under sequestration.
Although the deficit topped 10 percent of GDP in 2009, it could shrink to as little as 2.1 percent of the overall economy by 2015, before beginning to gradually climb throughout the rest of the decade. For the remainder of President Obama's administration, the deficit would fall to $560 billion in 2014 and $378 billion in 2015 before rising to $432 billion in 2016.
CBO said higher tax revenue due to the improving economy and better-than-expected bailout repayments by mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are the key reasons for the improved outlook.
The release of this upbeat budgetary news coincided with Hagel's announcement on Tuesday that the department plans to furlough 680,000 civilian workers beginning in July for up to 11 days of unpaid leave as part of a plan to meet a $30 billion DOD funding shortfall caused by sequestration. Under the Budget Control Act of 2011, about $1.2 trillion of automatic long-term spending cuts began to kick in March 1 – with a first installment of $85 billion of defense and domestic discretionary spending cuts through the remainder of the current fiscal year.
President Obama and many congressional Democrats say the sequester was a serious mistake and are calling for a budget deal that would eliminate or blunt the effects of the cuts, but Republicans are resisting absent other major spending or entitlement reform concessions from the administration. Some Democrats said yesterday that they were reviewing the new CBO report to determine whether it might provide them with additional leverage in combatting sequestration.
Senate Appropriations Committee Chairman Barbara Mikulski, D-Md., termed the CBO report "a pleasant and heartening surprise" that reflects an improving economy and housing market. But she declined to say whether it would be enough to put her efforts to cancel sequestration this year over the top.
"Anything that has our government in a greater fiscal discipline shows that you have to have an economy that [combines] growth with austerity," she told The Fiscal Times. "And the pleasant surprise about yesterday's [CBO] report was that it showed this was coming because of the housing market, and the housing market is part of President Obama's pro-growth" policies.
Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, chairman of the Senate appropriations subcommittee on labor, health and education, said he was optimistic the new deficit numbers will help carry the day in blocking further budget cuts this year in important social programs and the critical biomedical research conducted by the NIH and its hundreds of thousands of research grantees.
"This is a perilous moment for NIH, and indeed for the future of biomedical research in this country," Harkin said at a hearing yesterday on NIH's budget. He later told the Fiscal Times that the combination of an improved economy and housing market and falling deficit projections should demonstrate to both parties that "we don't need the sequester to go on beyond the end of the year.
If Republicans push to continue the sequester, he added, "then it becomes clear the sequester is being used not necessarily to reduce the deficit, but simply to squeeze government, to stop government services, to make government ineffective."
Sen. Jerry Moran of Kansas, the ranking Republican on Harkin's subcommittee and a major booster of NIH, said that while the CBO deficit report was good news, "Our fiscal problems are huge" and that "we ought not lose our fiscal discipline over what might turn out to be a short-term change."
For now, however, the federal bureaucracy continues to adjust to the sequestration. Hagel argued that making further cuts to military training and unit readiness would be irresponsible. The furloughs will save the department $1.8 billion, according to officials. The new defense secretary tried to soften the blow to workers by noting that the 11 days are down from the 14 that the Pentagon had warned would be needed, and only half of the 22 days that were originally forecast, according to the Washington Post.
But in response to a question about whether the DOD civilian workforce would have to worry about this again next year, Hagel replied: "I can't guarantee you that we won't be in some kind of similar situation next year."
Meanwhile, NIH officials have been fine-tuning their plans for addressing the cuts mandated under the sequester. NIH's budget of roughly $31 billion will be cut this year by $1.6 billion or 5 percent, which is forcing cutbacks in research in all 27 of the NIH's institutes and centers, including the National Cancer Institute, as well as other hospitals, universities and research centers that depend on federal grant. NIH's total research portfolio will shrink from 36,259 grants last year to 34,901 this year, a decline of 1,358 grants for research.
According to NIH, the organization has lost almost 22 percent of its purchasing power over the past decade as a result of inflation and now the sequester. Officials caution that if the Budget Control Act maintained indefinitely, NIH funding will decline by about $19 billion over the coming decade.
NIH will be awarding some 3,300 fewer research grants this year than the 38,215 authorized last year research projects; and despite all the research opportunities and potential, the number has dropped to 33,000 – or by more than 3,300. The impact is being particularly hard felt in 2013, where we will be funding 700 fewer projects than we did in FY2012.
NIH director Francis Collins testified yesterday before the appropriations subcommittee that the sequester "has already dealt a devastating blow to NIH" and that by continuing to cut or hold flat the government's biomedical research budget, the government risks missing "the next big discovery in cancer" or undercuts the development of a new generation of medical researchers.
Some Republicans including Moran and Sen. Richard Shelby of Alabama are major boosters of the NIH and have vowed to work to improve their budget. However, Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla. has dismissed some of NIH's grants as wasteful or useless. Coburn's "Wastebook 2012" cited as examples $295,364 to determine that male fruit flies are more attracted to younger female fruit flies than older female fruit flies and $350,000 researching how golfers perform better when using their imagination.

Department of Urology
Background: Today, many kinds of surgery are being conducted without human assistants. Living donor nephrectomy (LDN) using video-assisted minilaparotomy surgery (VAM) has been performed by solo-surgeon using Unitrac® (Aesculap Surgical Instrument, Germany). We examined the results from VAM-solo-surgeon living donor nephrectomy (SLDN) and conventional VAM-human-assisted living donor nephrectomy (HLDN). Methods: Between July 2007 and April 2008, 82 cases of VAM-LDN were performed by two surgeons. From these cases, we randomly assigned 35 cases to undergo solo-surgery (group I) and the other 47 cases to undergo surgery with one human assistant (group II). All VAM-LDN procedures were performed in the same manner. Only the roles of a first assistant were substituted by the Unitrac® in group I. We compared the perioperative and postoperative data, including operative time, estimated blood loss, and hospital stay, between the two groups. We also investigated cases that developed complications. Results: There were no significant differences in the patient demographic data between the two groups (P > 0.05). The mean operative time was 201.9 ± 32.9 min in group I and 202.4 ± 48.3 min in group II (P = 0.954), whereas mean blood loss was 209.7 ± 167.3 ml in group I and 179.6 ± 87.8 ml in group II (P = 0.294). Postoperative hospital stay were 5.4 ± 1.1 days in group I and 5.5 ± 1.6 days in group II (P = 0.813). The incidence of perioperative complications was not significantly different between the two groups. Conclusions: Our study demonstrates that VAM-SLDN can be performed safely, is economically beneficial, and is comparable to VAM-HLDN in terms of postoperative outcomes.

abstract = "Background: Today, many kinds of surgery are being conducted without human assistants. Living donor nephrectomy (LDN) using video-assisted minilaparotomy surgery (VAM) has been performed by solo-surgeon using Unitrac{\circledR} (Aesculap Surgical Instrument, Germany). We examined the results from VAM-solo-surgeon living donor nephrectomy (SLDN) and conventional VAM-human-assisted living donor nephrectomy (HLDN). Methods: Between July 2007 and April 2008, 82 cases of VAM-LDN were performed by two surgeons. From these cases, we randomly assigned 35 cases to undergo solo-surgery (group I) and the other 47 cases to undergo surgery with one human assistant (group II). All VAM-LDN procedures were performed in the same manner. Only the roles of a first assistant were substituted by the Unitrac{\circledR} in group I. We compared the perioperative and postoperative data, including operative time, estimated blood loss, and hospital stay, between the two groups. We also investigated cases that developed complications. Results: There were no significant differences in the patient demographic data between the two groups (P > 0.05). The mean operative time was 201.9 ± 32.9 min in group I and 202.4 ± 48.3 min in group II (P = 0.954), whereas mean blood loss was 209.7 ± 167.3 ml in group I and 179.6 ± 87.8 ml in group II (P = 0.294). Postoperative hospital stay were 5.4 ± 1.1 days in group I and 5.5 ± 1.6 days in group II (P = 0.813). The incidence of perioperative complications was not significantly different between the two groups. Conclusions: Our study demonstrates that VAM-SLDN can be performed safely, is economically beneficial, and is comparable to VAM-HLDN in terms of postoperative outcomes.",

Today.Az » Society » 7 people suspected of having coronavirus quarantined in Baku
05 February 2020 [13:58] - Today.Az
The number of people suspected of having coronavirus and placed under quarantine in the department of infectious diseases of the Clinical Medical Center No. 1 in Baku has reached seven, Trend reports referring to a joint statement by the Azerbaijani Ministry of Healthcare and the State Agency for Compulsory Medical Insurance Feb. 5.
This number includes an Azerbaijani citizen (born in 1992), receiving education in Beijing (China), who came to Azerbaijan with his wife (born in 1993). Both were examined by doctors, and the couple had no complaints.
The number of those placed under quarantine also includes two Azerbaijani citizens (born in 1998) studying at one of the Chinese universities. They have normal body temperature and no complaints.
An Azerbaijani citizen receiving education in Shandong (China) (born in 1997) also has no complaints, and he had no contact with the infected.
An Azerbaijani female student (born in 1997), studying in Zhejiang (China), also has normal body temperature and no complaints. She will undergo medical examination.
Another Azerbaijani student (born in 1994) studying in Beijing also has normal body temperature. He was examined by doctors, and he also has no complaints.
These persons arrived in Baku by transit flights from Dubai, Istanbul and Moscow.
No problems have been identified in connection with the health of those in quarantine. At the end of the quarantine period, they will be discharged.
The outbreak in the Chinese city of Wuhan - which is an international transport hub - began at a fish market in late December of 2019 and since then nearly 500 people have died, while over 600 have managed to recover. Some sources claim the coronavirus outbreak started as early as November 2019.
The symptoms include cough, headache, fatigue, fever, aching and difficulty breathing. It is primarily spread through airborne contact or contact with contaminated objects.
Chinese health authorities say that the majority of the people who have died were either elderly or had underlying health problems. The virus is spreading at a rapid pace, however the recovery rate for the infected has increased recently.
Aside from Mainland China, the cases of coronavirus spreading have also been confirmed in Thailand, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, Macau, Malaysia, Singapore, Australia, the US, France, Germany, South Korea, Canada, Vietnam, Cambodia, Nepal and Sri Lanka, the UAE, Canada, Italy, Russia, Nepal, Sweden, Finland. | {

Dr. Nissi Hamilton, A Human Trafficking Survivor Victim's Story
Activist| Expert |Leader| Motivator| Woman of God
Dr. Nissi Hamilton spoke at the Coalition to End Sexual Exploitation 2020 Global Summit, and Over 16,000 people from around the world registered for her Human Trafficking 101 Seminar at the summit.
Dr. Nissi Hamilton is a human trafficking survivor, advocate, and award-winning human trafficking expert. Nissi is a victim of generational sex trafficking; her mother was murdered as a result of human trafficking. Her children were taken from her by a governmental agency, and were placed in the custody of her trafficker, which is not unique to trafficking victims/survivors. Nissi advocated for herself and her children and was successful. Her challenges in life have empowered her to advocate for those that are in her previous situation. Nissi believes that through her life's journey God was preparing her for the job he wants her to do- help others. Through her for-profit organization 'A Survivors Voice of Victory'/ Nissi's Closet she is able to free young black girls from the enslavement she once experienced. She provides: emergency shelter, clothing, food, job training, resume writing, G.E.D. assistance , jobs, computer classes, cooking lessons, and cash incentives for survivors who are enrolled in school , and most importantly reunites mothers with their children.

Kamera Stone's Journey, A Sex Trafficking Survivor Victim's Story
Foster Care| Abandonment |Homelessness| Sex Trafficking| Realtor Estate
A human trafficking victim, not a prostitute! We are not able to choose the family, or circumstances in which we are born; that is divinely ordained. Kamera Stone certainly wish she were born in a loving family that gave her all the life skills she needed to face the challenges of this world, but that was not her reality.
Kamera Stone was born in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma to drug addict parents. At the age of four (4) Kamera along with her four (4) siblings were removed from their parent's custody. Kamera and one (1) of her sibling went into foster care, while her other three (3) siblings were taken by different family members; all her siblings did not have the same biological fathers. Kamera was adopted sometime after being in the State's custody, and thought life took a turn for the better. To her dismay, three (3) years after the adoption, her adoptive parents relinquished their parental rights. Somewhere between the age of nine (9) and twelve (12) she was again a ward of the state. Kamera was shuffled around to approximately fifty (50) different foster homes in different cities. Prior to age eighteen (18) she decided to search for her biological family, and was successful. She felt she was developing a relationship with her mother and decided she wanted to live with her.
Vulnerability of Homelessness
Kamera planned to get into trouble with the intention of being removed from foster care, hoping her mother would be her "knight in shining armor" and rescue her, and they would live happily ever after. Prior to her eighteenth (18th) birthday she got the courage to put her plan in action. She stole and spent a fifty (50) dollar gift card from the store in which she worked, and got caught as planned. Her plan of being removed from foster care and sent to her mother fell through. Instead she was taken to jail by her case worker, on her eighteenth (18th) birthday. Her bail was one hundred (100) dollars, however, her mother refused to pay bail. After leaving jail, Kamera took a grey hound bus to Oklahoma City to live with her mother, but again faced rejection when two (2) weeks later she was told she had to leave. While staying with her mother she met a young man and they started communicating. She told him she had nowhere to go, and her mother wanted her to leave. He said that she could stay with him and in that conversation stated that he "takes escorts where they need to go." To that Kamera responded "are you a cab driver?" Being naive to the world she was about to enter. He said "no, I pimp hoes." This was new information for her, as she did not know that he was a pimp. The vulnerability of homelessness worked against her as she had nowhere to go and moved in with him.
The young man took this as an opportunity to exploit her and she was no longer able to go back to her job. Kamera was terrified to report him to the police; fearful that he may hurt her, and desperate since she had nowhere else to go. She stayed with him for a few months dancing in clubs etc., but summoned the courage to leave when another victim she danced with in a club told her that she had a friend in Texas that could "help her get on her feet."
Victims Recruit Victims
Kamera went to Texas only to be re-victimized. The man in Texas was also a pimp; more atrocious than the one she left. She ended up dancing among other things while the pimp took all the money. She was physically and emotionally distressed with no support system, and no way of getting out of this horrific brutal situation. Trapped in this horrendous situation because of her dependency, and having nowhere to go. After spending about a month in Texas, the same "friend" from the club told Kamera she was now in Florida and Kamera joined her. When she came to Florida, it was a replay of the same situation; however, it got more dreadful. The new pimp took the girls to different states for prostitution. As a result Kamera now has two (2) misdemeanors and one (1) felony charge for prostitution; a felony and misdemeanor in Florida, and a misdemeanor in Las Vegas. Kamera knew she had to get out of this monstrous world and break the vicious cycle, but needed help as she did not have the financial and other resources to do it on her own.
One of her clients, a married "sugar daddy" helped her to get 'on her feet'. He paid for her car, apartment, and a certification course; a "john" gave her a way out of sex trafficking, and ultimately saved her life. She now tries her best to help those she can by sharing her story. Life is not perfect; however, she is optimistic about what the future holds. Like most victims she is afraid to speak openly about her journey fearful of being "victim shamed" and re-traumatized. Most people ask "why couldn't you just run away? Or state that trafficked victims are prostitutes. The reality is most people cannot relate to something they have not themselves experience. Most people fail to see that the chains of human trafficking are often mental and not physical, hence the inclusion of "force, fraud, or coercion" in the definition. It is also a reality that physical chains are more easily broken than mental chains; it is difficult to escape yourself; victims spend a lifetime healing from this trauma.
Kamera believes that the lack of love and affection received by foster children results in their gravitation towards older man to play the "daddy role." They lack a familial support system, and this lack of social support results in them being victimized by traffickers who know what to say to manipulate them; by playing on their emotions. This desire for love and support has resulted in a huge number of trafficked victims coming from the foster care system. According to the National Foster Youth Institute, "60% of all child sex trafficking victims have histories in the child welfare system? Children without families to make them feel loved and cared for are particularly vulnerable to exploitation by sex traffickers. Foster children in large cities like New York and Los Angeles are at the most risk of being targeted".1 Statics shows that "in 2012, Los Angeles County, California reported that of the 72 commercially sexually exploited girls in their Succeed Through Achievement and Resilience (STAR) Court Program, 56 were child-welfare involved,"2 whereas "in 2007, New York City identified 2,250 child victims of trafficking. Seventy-five percent of those experienced some contact with the child welfare system, mostly in the context of abuse and neglect proceedings."3 Traffickers are aware of the vulnerability and risk factors faced by children in the foster care system and "will sometimes send one of their girls into group homes to lure other girls to leave. Many girls who end up leaving foster care are trafficked into prostitution where they are routinely subject to physical abuse and violence."4 What can we as a society do to influence change? What does Kamera believe could have made a difference?
What Could Have Made a Difference?
There are four (4) items listed below that Kamera believes could have made a difference. They are:
Stay in Foster Care Until Age 21: Kamera believes that if she had know better she would have signed herself back into foster care until she was 21. Although that would not have provided her the love, affection, and feeling of belonging she desired, she would have had a place to live.
Job Training: The foster care system should help children with job training and job search. Although foster children are enrolled in schools, they do not necessarily get the skills they need to obtain a descent job.
Foster 'Parents': Provide parenting skills to foster parents. Kamera express that "foster parents don't parent you, they live with you."
Life Skills: Provide life skills training for foster children. Kamera states that she was ill prepared for the world. She was not taught basic life skills, and did not know how to begin life on her own. Like most other foster children this results in a sense of dependency, which causes them to be easily controlled by others, often times, older men who are pimps.
Instead of reflecting on what life could have been if she were born in a home with loving parents, Kamera focuses on how she can use her adversaries for her betterment, and to enhance the life of others.
Kamera is a realtor by profession and provides excellent customer service to her clients. Not focusing on where she is, but where she is heading Kamera is optimistic about what the future has in store for her and her son. Amidst her life's rocky journey, Kamera considers herself lucky to be a part of the one percent (1%). She has life! She is physically free!
WHAT IS HUMAN TRAFFICKING
Human Trafficking, also known as Modern Day Slavery is the largest slave trade in the history of mankind. It is defined as using force, fraud, or coercion to exploit a person for the purpose of forced labor, debt bondage, commercial sex,5 or organ and tissue extraction. There are more than forty (40) million victims worldwide; woman and children accounts for the vast majority. Human trafficking does not discriminate. It affects men, women, boys and girls of all races and socio-economic status; however, the primary victims are black girls,6 Hispanic girls, then all others. What is even more disturbing is the majority of sex trafficking victims are children.7 It seems unimaginable that a child as young as three (3) months old was being sold into sex trafficking,8 but these heinous acts happen. There are some really cruel people in this world. Human trafficking awareness advocates should not only "speak about it, but be about it." This is the ethos of M J Scarlett Foundation, Inc.
M J SCARLETT FOUNDATION, INC.
M J Scarlett Foundation, Inc focuses on human trafficking prevention and awareness education. We cannot take the chance of rescuing less than percent (1%), while ninety nine percent (99%) of human trafficking victims remain enslaved. By taking a therapeutic jurisprudence approach of attacking the root cause of human trafficking, together as a society we can eliminate the vulnerabilities that plagues especially those in the foster care system such as: poverty; being in the wrong place at the wrong time; lack of education; lack of job opportunities; unstable family situation, such as those in the welfare system; lack of support which results in the desire for love and affection and many others. Let us educate our children because prevention and awareness education SAVES LIVES!

Parents' Evening – It's coming up to that time of year again. Whether your children are in primary or secondary education, we are called in to attend the obligatory Parents' Evening.
It's your opportunity to sit opposite the class/subject teacher for 10 minutes, to discuss how little Jim or Flossy is progressing in their education.
Parents' Evening, we go in, fingers crossed, hoping to be told that not only has our little darling been an example of fine social standing with manners which Marjorie Proops herself would have been proud of, but that they are also on track to inventing time travel or to be the founder of the meaning of life by the tender age of 12.
On the other hand, if you were anything like me as a child, you sat at home waiting for your parents to return with that abject look of disappointment, and possibly fury, on their faces, in the aftermath of being told by your Year 7 maths teacher that you're a disruptive child who gravitates to the back of the class in a bid to become a menace to society. Looks like the joke's on him now though, right? With that in mind, here are some top tips on how to get the most out of parents' evening.
1.There shouldn't be many (if any) surprises: Don't wait for parents' evening to discuss the major issues which have been plaguing you or your child for the past four months. Ensure that you have contacted the school prior to parents' evening to discuss issues which are creating concerns and/or anxieties for your child or you. Instead, use parents' evening as an opportunity to simply "touch base" with the teacher and review progress.
2.Go prepared: There is nothing worse than going into any situation knowing that you have things you want to ask or discuss, only to find that once you get there, you have a complete mind blank. Write items for discussion down before you go, therefore you will be able to cover what you want to discuss and not walk away frustrated feeling like you missed something. Questions to consider are, "Does my child seem happy at school/are they making any friends?" or, "Is my child achieving what you would expect for a child of their age?" All of these are questions which can lead to broader conversations about your child's progress in school both academically and socially.
3.Set the teacher at ease: Let the teacher know that you are invested and engaged in your child's learning and want to be able to support them in the best way possible. This creates an atmosphere conducive to open and honest dialogue between you and the teacher, which will help you all provide the appropriate help and encouragement for your child.
Questions such as, "What can I do at home to support their learning?" or "Is there anything that is causing you concern?" will be like music to the ears of most teachers.
4.Involve your child: Prior to the meeting, familiarise yourself with the report, focusing on strengths and areas in need of support. Ask your child if there is anything they would like to be discussed at the meeting on their behalf. If appropriate, include your child in the meeting itself, although this can sometimes be challenging, so check with the teacher first.
5.Follow up: If the time slot isn't long enough, arrange a follow-up meeting with the teacher to discuss any concerns at a time which allows both the teacher and you to really get to grips with the matters at hand.
Ultimately, keep this thought in mind. Whether parent or teacher, the child should remain the focus of the conversation and both parties should be working together to ensure the child is achieving their full potential. Yes, the teacher abides by a curriculum and teaches topics, but as parents, we have a responsibility to instil in our children an understanding that they need to be engaged in their learning and we do that by role modelling. Your children look to you for guidance in the right direction, therefore working in partnership with their school is imperative for your child to have a chance at making the most of their education. | {

THE WOLF SUIT*** - BFI London Film Festival 2021 - Day 3
Debut documentary feature director Sam Firth has made a deceptively simply but emotional fraught documentary about her own parents' marital breakdown and the impact that had on her own ability to be in a successful relationship. She begins by exploring archival material from her childhood and then by interrogating her own memories and that of her parents. They are game enough, even attempting a studio where Firth recreates scenes from her childhood, including painful memories of verbal and physical abuse. What's fascinating but unsurprising is how the three participants have very different perspectives on what happens. In particular it's fascinating seeing the dad parse hitting the mum as a slap or not a punch or as an act of aggression versus slapping a hysterical woman. It's also really hard to watch the daughter take in new information that contradicts long-held "memories" and reconcile the parents she loves now with the people they were then. This is really superb documentary film-making, even if at times I felt deeply voyeuristic watching what is in effect somebody else's therapy.
THE WOLF SUIT has a running time of 74 minutes. It is playing at the BFI London Film Festival 2021 and does not yet have a commercial release date.

As usually happens, my meal planning for this week went down the drain - however the reasons for my schedule being thrown off were good reasons this time: company! We had made arrangements to have dinner with my parents on Friday but when Monday arrived there was a scheduling conflict discovered and we bumped the meal to Tuesday. Since this was going to be a bit tight for my Mom, I offered to host, and cook, the meal.
It was a pretty nice experience however. The leftovers were enough for lunch for me today and dinner for our family tomorrow. And the low stress assembly for a dinner for 6 showed me how ridiculous I am sometimes when it comes to meal planning. I need to learn to pair labor-intensive entrees with easy-peasy sides more. Typically when I have company coming, I am cooking from about 2:00 on, particularly if I am doing a roast. Had it not been for a last minute decision to make pretty potatoes, I could have started making dinner an hour and a half before we ate and not felt pressed for time at all.
Oh, I did forget to mention one sad component to this tale: the epic cheesecake flop. I had found a recipe for a Japanese 'Cotton' Cheesecake through Pinterest. This recipe intruiged me. Fluffy texture, at least half the amount of cream cheese of a normal cheesecake and still meriting the name cheesecake? I had to try it. Well, since the recipe was in grams it took me a bit longer than usual to throw some of the ingredients together while I weighed them on my kitchen scale (which was a great investment by the way - if you can call $10 an investment...) and I began to be quite glad that I had started this at 8:30 a.m. I took care to wrap the bottom of my spring form pan in foil so the water bath wouldn't leak in, and I even converted the cooking time and temperature for my convection setting on my oven to make sure I got the most even baking possible. At the end of the baking process I was pleased with the general result but I had noticed that the top wasn't browned exactly evenly. Since I had already turned off my oven I just turned it on to 'bake' and set the timer for three minutes and hoped the top would be done by then. Do you know what can happen to the top of a cheesecake in 3 minutes under direct, uneven heat from an oven element that hasn't been preheated? It burns. Alot. It goes totally black across the whole top. It also smokes. And it makes me feel like crying. Seriously, I was heartbroken. The cake had been beautiful! From what I could tell, it had cooked perfectly, except for one side was 'slightly' lighter that the other across the top. ARGH!!!!
Well, after speaking with my husband and getting his honestly brilliant input ("If you can't just cut the burnt portion off, why don't you crumble it and layer it with some whipped cream and berries and make it like a trifle?") I decided to see how much of it was salvageable. It was only when I opened up the springform that I realized how much worse off my cake was than I had realized. The foil hadn't kept all of the water out and the springform hadn't held its seal, so the bottom 1/3 of my cake was soggy. Yuck. So, the top 1/3 got cut off because it was burnt and dry. The bottom 1/3 got cut off because it was soggy and gross. And the middle 1/3 got crumbled, stuck in a bowl, and set aside for me to not serve that night because I was too grumpy about how my cake turned out. Thank goodness for Dairy Queen ice cream cakes! | {

San Diego - U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers performing southbound inspections at the San Ysidro port of entry Monday stopped two fugitives wanted for attempted murder and, in an unrelated incident, stopped three persons with $73,425 in undeclared currency hidden in bottles of shampoo and chicken stock and sewn into their clothes.
At about 6:30 p.m. on July 26, CBP officers conducting inspections of pedestrians heading southbound into Mexico stopped Miguel Angel Galvan-Morfin, a fugitive with an active warrant for his arrest. Galvan-Morfin, a 22-year-old legal permanent resident, was wanted for attempted murder in Santa Rosa, Calif. According to the Santa Rosa Police Department, during the murder attempt on Wednesday, July 21, the 17-year-old victim was stabbed in excess of 15 times.
After CBP officers identified Galvan-Morfin and began to place him in handcuffs, he attempted to elude officers and escape to Mexico. Officers took Galvan-Morfin into custody, despite his attempts to flee and the fact that he became combative, including punching and kicking the CBP officers as they took him into custody.
Shortly after the apprehension, CBP officers spotted a second person with a warrant for his arrest for the same attempted murder in Santa Rosa. CBP officers were able to take Jesus Camacho Nunez, a 21-year-old U.S. citizen, into custody without incident.
Both Galvan-Morfin and Nunez were booked into the San Diego County Jail.
Earlier that morning at about 7:30 a.m., CBP officers conducting inspections on the southbound lanes of Interstate 5 stopped a commercial bus headed into Mexico. CBP officers pulled aside a 62-year-old female bus passenger for additional inspections.
During their initial inspection of the Mexican citizen with a border crossing card, CBP officers discovered a large amount of undeclared currency inside the woman's purse and identified her two traveling companions, a 41-year-old male legal permanent resident and his father, a 71-year-old male Mexican citizen with a border crossing card, as well as their luggage.
CBP officers found a total of $73,425 in undeclared currency hidden in: a bottle of shampoo; a bottle of chicken bullion; sewn into the waistline of the woman's jeans; inside the woman's shoes and purse; sewn into the waistline of the 41-year-old man's jeans, as well as in his pockets; and in the 71-year-old man's shoes, under the shoe inserts.
CBP officers seized the currency and turned custody of all three persons over to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents. The subjects are currently in custody pending criminal charges and further investigation by ICE.
It is a federal offense not to declare currency or monetary instruments totaling more than $10,000 to a CBP officer upon entry or exit from the U.S. or to conceal it with intent to evade reporting requirements. Failure to declare may result in seizure of the currency and/or arrest. | {

"Since the enactment of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) in 1969, there has been increased reliance on confined or on-land facilities for disposal of dredged material. Acquisition, however, is increasingly difficult because of high real estate values, the long-term nature of the easements, and the perception by landowners that dredged material is not aesthetic. The U.S. Corps of Engineers has worked to identify ways in which the landowner can use the acreage for activities that are financially attractive but do not interfere with periodic disposal of dredged material. One of these activities is aquaculture. This report summarizes information on legal and institutional constraints on aquaculture in DMCA. Laws, regulations, and permit requirements that may apply to DMCA aquaculture are outlined; potential legal difficulties are identified and methods of avoiding them are suggested"--National Sea Grant Library publication website.

Although not quite as storied as the 2015 batch that included the Pia Wurtzbach, last year's crop of Binibining Pilipinas winners was a pretty formidable batch as it included Miss International 2016 Kylie Verzosa, Miss Universe 2016 Top 6 finisher Maxine Medina and Miss Grand International 2016 1st runner-up Nicole Cordoves.
It's pageant season once again and the prestigious Binibining Pilipinas beauty pageant is once again leading the way in upholding the Philippines' reputation as a pageant powerhouse. This year, there are 40 stunningly beautiful women who look ready to conquer the world, each hoping to capture one of the seven titles up for grabs.
Several candidates have, in fact, already emerged as early favorites. Not a few believe that these eight ladies will figure prominently in this year's contest. The Grand Coronation is happening on April 30 at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.
Born in California and a graduate of Georgetown University, the 24-year-old morena has lived in Singapore, Thailand and the Philippines and is representing Angeles, Pampanga. She is also no stranger to pageants. Last year, she was crowned 1st Princess in Miss World Philippines and has also won in other pageants overseas.
Jehza won second runner-up in last year's Binibining Pilipinas pageant, which means that the 22-year old Davao City native was an "understudy" to the winners and underwent the same training and preparation for international competition as Kylie, Maxine and the others did. Expect Jehza to put to good use whatever advantage she gained from her stint in last year's pageant.
Her third time as a Binibining Pilipinas contestant could be the charm for this 26-year-old dusky beauty from Mandaluyong City. With her winning smile, arresting stage presence and 24-inch waistline, it's hard to believe that Angelique once weighed 180 lbs. and was wearing size 33 jeans.
The 23-year-old Filipina-British charmer bears a striking resemblance to former actress Nanette Medved. Sirene is a professional model who is at her best element on the catwalk as a staple of print and TV ads as well as Philippine Fashion Week. She joined the Miss Global Philippines pageant in 2014 and finished 1st runner-up.
No relation to Angelique, but Mariel is definitely related to showbiz power couple Christopher de Leon and Sandy Andolong who only happen to be her proud parents. As talent goes, the 23-year old Las Piñas native pretty much has it in spades. In addition to being a cookery graduate, Mariel is also an opera singer. This is her second run in Binibining Pilipinas following her Top 15 finish in 2013.
A gold medalist for taekwondo in the 2011 South East Asian Games, the 26-year-old Caviteña from Silang was also hailed as Athlete of the Year in the 73rd season of the UAAP. This is only her first time to join Binibiing Pilipinas, but if her sports accomplishments are any indication, Camille knows how to compete and knows how to win.
Best known for her second runner-up finish in "Asia's Next Top Model" and for her stint as an MTV Pinoy VJ, the 24-year old stunner from Davao City has one of the prettiest faces in the competition and reminds many of actress Alice Dixson. That was not necessarily an advantage for her in "ANTM" but it may do a lot of wonders in Binibining Pilipinas and maybe even beyond.
The 24-year-old dusky beauty from Binangonan, Rizal competed in Binibining Pilipinas in 2013. Back then she was a heavy favorite but only finished in the Top 15. For a while, it looked like Charmaine had already given up on pageants as it was later known that she was happily flying the friendly skies as a flight attendant. Well, she's back and among the candidates, seems to be the only one that exudes a confident Pia Wurtzbach vibe. | {

The Anglo-Saxons and the Normans: how hunting turned to poaching
Posted on May 15, 2020 by Ellen Hawley
If you read enough English history, you'll start to wonder how life in England changed once the Normans conquered the place.
Or you will if you're me, anyway. Which admittedly, you're probably not.
Be grateful. It's strange in here.
Let's look at one change: hunting and access to the woods. I'm working in part from The Year 1000: What Life Was Like at the Turn of the First Millennium, an Englishman's World, by Robert Lacey and Danny Danziger. It's a book–one of those odd things involving paper and ink. I just love them, but then I'm several hundred years old. To me, they're still an exciting new technology.
Irrelevant photo: Camellia blossoms. They weren't here when the Anglo-Saxons and Normans were running around–they were a much later import.
One important change involved hunting. Before the Normans invaded and seized the place, the Anglo-Saxon aristocracy hunted with expensive dogs and birds and horses but any free-born Anglo-Saxon had the right to hunt.
Notice the restriction there. Anglo-Saxon England had slavery, and wars were fought in part to capture slaves. What percent of the population was enslaved? Dunno. But however many people were involved, you can take that group of people and set them outside the freedoms the rest of the inhabitants had.
Don't forget they're there. It'll keep you from romanticizing things.
The forest was as important and productive a part of free people's world as their fields were. They didn't just use them for hunting, they gathered wood and turned their animals out to forage in them. How did that coexist with private ownership of woodlands? I'm not sure. My best guess–and I haven't been able to verify this–is that we're talking about local people's access to local woodland. In other words, to woods owned by a lord they had some sort of relationship with.
As a whole, the population ate well. Lacey and Danziger argue that the people of that time were as tall as people living today. Where recent generations have grown taller than their ancestors, it's because during the intervening generations their ancestors were overcrowded and underfed.
The Normans–somewhere between 4,000 and 8,000 of them–barged into this well-fed country, and William made himself the owner of the whole shebang. Under him were 180 chief tenants, who owed him military service. And under them? More tenants, who owed military service through the people above them. The top lords were all or almost all Normans, and they replaced the entire upper crust of Anglo-Saxon society.
And to make sure he'd have a matching set, William did the same with administrators and church officials: He replaced them with Norman versions.
William kept a fair bit of Anglo-Saxon administrative organization–it was efficient and, for its time, centralized–but (among many other things) dramatically changed people's rights to use the forest. The right to hunt was now reserved for the top one percent of the one percent. Maybe I should add another "of the one percent" there, but forget the numbers: It was reserved for the aristocracy–the landowners, that thin (and Norman) top layer of the population. Anyone else was poaching–stealing the lord's game.
This was codified into the forest law, which protected the animals so the king could hunt them and also protected everything the animals fed on. Common people not just lost their right to hunt, but to fish, to gather fruit and wood, to dig peat and clay, to pasture their animals. It was a disaster for a people whose living had depended in part on the forest.
What happened if they broke the law? The punishments ranged from fines to death, and in the early years after the conquest the law was enforced with a heavy hand. Hunting had gone from being something any free man might do to something reserved for the aristocracy.
But what was this about pasturing their animals in a forest?
Under Norman law, forest didn't mean forest as in a place with lots of trees. It could mean woods, but it could also mean pastures and even villages. It meant a place the king might want to hunt and it meant anything that fell within that place he might want to hunt. If he designated it a forest, it was a forest, and you wouldn't want to stand there arguing about its lack of trees. If you happened to live inside what he said was a forest, you not only couldn't hunt or cut wood or do any of those other things, you couldn't use a fence or a hedge to protect your crops because it might get in the way of the hunt.
At the time of the Domesday Book–William's massive, nitpicking survey of the land he'd conquered–there were 25 royal forests, but forest law applied not just to royal forests but also to forests owned by major lords of various flavors.
Norman forest law led to a lot of confusion over land ownership. Since all land belonged to the king and was granted downward from there–and since it could, if the king got mad at you, be un-granted–ownership had some murky edges. The law was muddled enough that it was possible to own part of a forest but not have the right to hunt in it or cut trees.
All of this is what made the 1217 Charter of the Forest so important: It gave free men certain rights in royal forests–and by then there were 143 royal forests. Commoners could gather wood, honey, and fruit; dig clay; fish; cut peat; and pasture animals. The charter laid the groundwork for rights that held (and were fought over) throughout the medieval period and for the rights of commoners today on some 500 surviving commons.
On the other hand, only about 10 percent of the population was free. Serfs weren't slaves but they weren't in any realistic or legal way free. So although the charter was important, both in practical terms and in terms of the precedent it set, but it was also limited.

From the top of my three times a week run I can just see part of William's lasting memorial – the New Forest. It's mostly heathland, so perfect for hunting.
Ellen Hawley on May 15, 2020 at 7:46 am said:
I hear a lot about the New Forest but have never (knowingly, at least) seen it. I hope to one day.
It's definitely worth a visit.
If we ever get out of this mess we're in…

Yes, I did have a moment this morning when I contemplated the possibility that I would only ever leave this house again for my runs. It wasn't a happy thought.

I know. I have them too. I push them away. They come back. I know a vaccine's a long shot (I saw it described as a moonshot), but I'm hoping for one.
Well, it proved possible to put men on the moon, but it took a lot of time and effort.
We seem to be thinking our way through this in very similar ways.

I love my Friday history lesson, Ellen! I regret giving up history at school, but I learn a lot from you and you make it interesting.
Thanks, Stevie. My school experience of history was dismal–I can see why people would give it up. It's a gift, being able to take such a fascinating subject and make it dull.

My experience of being taught history at school was also dismal. All I recall is some boring stuff about textiles and where stuff was mined. We were taught nothing at all about all the interesting bits!

Isn't it amazing how they did that (and probably still do)? It's like alchemy, only they turned gold into lead.

Lol. I actually enjoy learning about history now, but hated it at school.
Yup. All kings and battles and dates. Bleh.
Darlene on May 15, 2020 at 10:22 am said:
Tough times for all but a few. Quite a different history to North America. Of course, the Europeans simply stole the land from the First Nations and then put them onto enclosed reservations. Thanks for another informative history lesson.
Two conquests, two thefts, but very different forms. I hadn't thought about the parallels and differences until you brought that up, but the Normans had known the Anglo-Saxons and looked for many ways to cast themselves as the successors to their line of kings, including adopting some Anglo-Saxon saints, some Anglo-Saxon organizational structures, and of course insisting that William was the proper successor to Whoosit the Childless. They were brutal, but in a different way. I'd be tempted to say they considered themselves equals, but of course they didn't.
Andy Killoran on May 15, 2020 at 10:39 am said:
I was reading a BBC History article the other day about King Richard 1, born about 100 years after the Norman conquest. At that point, they suggested, about 50% of England was in the hands of the Anglo-French nobility with the remainder split between the Crown and the Church. The we're saying that we still have, in English, the hangover from this time. The animals farmed, herded, slaughtered etc by the Anglo-Saxon peasantry are known by their Anglo-Saxon names – swine, calf, sheep – but when they are on the table of the Anglo-French nobility (the only people who were allowed to eat them) they become the French pork, veal, mutton
Yep. Exactly. And apparently if you separate the population into those with French-derived last names and everyone else (or if you want to hold out for the descendants of the Anglo-Saxons, those with Anglo-Saxon-derived last names) you'll find that the French-derived last names earn and have significantly more money.
Apparently. I haven't confirmed that. I have a serious allergy to anything numerical and wouldn't really know where to start.

And then there were the Vikings…..
Yeah. They're a whole 'nother story–one I should learn more about and then inflict on y'all.

Just goes to show that, when people complain about the top 1% of the 1% owning pretty much everything, they are not describing anything new – just the way it always was. The only difference being that, since the industrial revolution, a few upstarts have found ways of muscling in – folks like Bezos and Musk, for example, in the present generation, although there were, of course, others in prior generations.
There was a brief period when the distribution was slightly less unbalanced in developed countries. Unions were stronger, the economy was stronger (I'll leave it to economists to argue over whether those two are linked and if so which is the cause and which is the effect), Keynesiansim was still riding high, and the Soviet Union etc. needed to be counter-balanced by the belief that capitalism brought prosperity to all. I grew up thinking that was a permanent change, which goes to show you what I knew. Now it looks like a brief historical blip.

Those dratted Normans have a lot to answer for, including Schwarzkopf of the storming variety, Mailer (the postal delinquent), Wisdom of the funny bone, one-hit-wonder Greenbaum and, of course, our own Greg (Choker) Norman. In times of old when knights were bold and days were even saucier, it would seem the world was divided between the pheasantry and the peasantry.
That last bit sums it up surprisingly well.

So, what are things like now? Allowed to hunt, fish, and gather wherever?
My daughter has gotten into some PBS series imported from England. The people all seem so nice and happy, living wonderful lives in their enormous stone houses, with happy servants and townsfolk. I'm starting to question some of your tales, certainly the BBC couldn't be biased, so it must be you.
It is me. Everyone lives in enormous stone houses with happy servants (who also live in enormous stone houses with happy servants, who also and so on into infinity, like seeing yourself reflected in mirrors that face each other, with each house and set of servants getting smaller as the images recede).
I don't know what the rules are. I don't hunt and I don't fish. I do pick blackberries, and no one objects if you take them from the public side of a hedge or from the bushes alongside a footpath, but then if they were left to their own devices blackberries would take over the entire island and run all the people out, so the competition for them isn't fierce. It probably once was, back when food was scarcer, in which case picking would've been regulated and I'd probably have been hung. Or burned as a witch.
FYI: They're not the juicy, lush kind you see in the stores. They're smaller and seedier.
I figured it must be you. People were much happier back then, no traffic jams, didn't worry about the stock market and their retirement funds, no CV19. Life was good.
Yeah I know the kind, I run across them when I'm hiking. Like wild strawberries, they're about the size of a grape and mostly white, no where near as sweet.
The ones here are different–black, for one thing, and they take joy from snagging your clothes (or even better, flesh) and hanging on so that when you run into them, you stay. The only possible revenge is to eat as many as possible.
They're not bad, especially if you're on a walk and thirsty, but they're far from my favorite fruit. I just happen to like harvesting things, so I can't help myself. I'd much rather find wild blueberries or raspberries, but I've never seen either here.

If you want to hunt in my backyard, and take my fence down, you have to take the Irish Setter with you when you go. And, I hope you like squirrel.
Let's put it this way: I like squirrel as well as any other meat, which is to say not at all. But I'd be happy to take the setter with me. I'd probably even return it.
Oh, I'm sure you'd return this one 😏
Well, you know the dog better than I do so I'll take your word for it.

Nice review of the origins of "common law.."
I once tried to explain common law fully. I was ready to open a vein by the time I hit the second paragraph.
Principled precedent that can be reversed…is a concept which is hard to explain.
And if memory serves (which is doesn't always) the totality of precedent, which is at best an unwieldy mass of cases.
Yes indeed, the "common law"is often FAR from common.

Hi Ellen. Sorry I blinked whist I was looking for my bottle of reading sauce. Was it 143 royal forests or 143 free men. And does that mean there were no free women ? Or do we not have time for all that today ? Cheers.
What, you're going to ask me to go back and read that all over again? With a memory like mine, it's always a gamble when I answer questions without rereading, but I'm going to guess it was 143 royal forests, no women truly free for many a century, and four bottles of hot sauce, of which I'm taking one home with me, so make that three.
What were we talking about?
Keep calm and conserve ones attention span for truly important matters. Carry on.
Oops ! and what exactly does a poached egg have to do with any of this ? !
Everything. I hope that helps.

Interesting bit of history.
I took two required world history courses in college which I liked. Then I took a course in medieval English history. Professor and class were totally boring and a total waste.
Since retiring I have been reading a lot if history. Very interesting and important with the right approach.
History of land ownership is a long and convoluted story. As is class history.
Long, convoluted, and central. In the assorted history books I gather, I find some that are badly written and I find it really hard to dig the story out of the deluge of detail. But a well-written one? That's golden. A shame about your medieval history class. It could, you'd think, be fascinating.

I've heard that 24% (why not 25?) of the population of the British have Norman Ancestry, the same supposedly is true of the population of the U.S.
You'll probably be interested in this article: https://www.theguardian.com/science/2015/mar/18/genetic-study-30-percent-white-british-dna-german-ancestry. They narrow the group under discussion down from British to white English, and if the study's correct the Normans don't seem to have made a big contribution. But–isn't there always a but?–that's about what percent of DNA their target group shares with the Normans, not the number of White English people who have some portion, however small, of that DNA. Anyway, I'll leave it for you to read.

We have crown land in Canada too, and you can hunt on it, but only with special permission. Even the Queen herself would need a permit:-)

'Fire tornado' captured on video as massive Lake Fire marches across Angeles National Forest
A dramatic "fire tornado" was captured on video inside the perimeter of an unrelenting brush fire that has grown to 10,500 acres near Lake Hughes in the Angeles National Forest.
LAKE HUGHES, Calif. (KABC) -- A dramatic "fire tornado" was captured on video Wednesday evening inside the perimeter of an unrelenting brush fire that has grown to 10,500 acres near Lake Hughes in the Angeles National Forest.
"I have never seen anything like this," ABC7's Veronica Miracle said in a tweet that included footage of the fiery phenomenon, noting that the blaze had created the fire tornado on a hill near Pine Canyon Road "and it's sucking everything inside."
The fire began Wednesday afternoon and exploded in size within hours on brushy ridges, including some areas that had not burned since 1968, fire officials said. By Thursday morning, the flames had consumed nearly 16.5 square miles of timber and chaparral shrubland. There was no containment of the fire.
No injuries have been reported, but flames have destroyed three structures and were threatening 5,420 others, according to the Los Angeles County Fire Department.
The fire was being fed by tinder-dry brush in steep terrain, but its ferocity on Wednesday approached that of wind-driven blazes that usually erupt when gusty Santa Ana winds arrive later in the year, said county Deputy Fire Chief David Richardson.
The cause of the Lake Fire is unknown.

A treasure trove of Michael Jackson's belongings — including gaudy furniture he never got to enjoy and deeply personal mementos from his heyday — hits the auction block next week on the one-year anniversary of his death.
Among the 250 lots set to go under the hammer at the Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino in Las Vegas next Friday is the Swarovski crystal-covered white glove Jackson wore in 1983 during the "Motown 25" show.
Also for sale: the sleeveless T-shirt that he wore during the filming of "Beat It," and a painting he commissioned of himself in 2001 being knighted.
The King of Pop's father, Joe, has raised objections as to the provenance of the auction items, but Julien's Auctions President Darren Julien said he has sworn statements from each seller that they were the legal owner.
Some of the most expensive items going under the hammer is handmade designer furniture that Jackson commissioned but never enjoyed.
Jackson had hired Italian craftsmen to build pieces for a home in England where he was going to stay while performing concerts in London. He died before the gig could took place.
The most expensive item up for grabs is a 24-karat gold sofa, expected to fetch $130,000. | {

Swiss Paradise of St. Moritz to host Akash Ambani-Shloka Mehta Pre-wedding Parties
Celebrity News, Destination Weddings - Feb 22, 2019
The Akash Ambani-Shloka Mehta pre-wedding celebrations are moving from the hazy and mild winter landscape of Mumbai to the pristine and snowy slopes of the resort town of St. Moritz in the Engadin valley of Switzerland.
Billionaire industrialist and chairman of the Reliance Industries Limited, Mr Mukesh Ambani, who is groom Akash Ambani's father, is a frequent visitor to the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, which lies just 77 km, or 90 minutes by road, from St. Moritz. Reports suggest that his fondness for the immaculate ski slopes and luxury properties of St. Moritz were a factor in deciding to host the couple's pre-wedding celebrations, including Akash's bachelor bash, there.
From February 23-25, St. Moritz will see around 300 guests, including Bollywood biggies like Karan Johar and Ranbir Kapoor, fly into the winter wonderland, whose highlight includes a beautiful lake, in the Alpine mountains to celebrate with Akash and Shloka.
Around 500 or so weddings vendors such as planners and decorators, chefs, photography and videography teams from the UK, St. Moritz, Zurich, Mumbai and New Delhi are also expected to be there to help orchestrate and capture the three-day festivities that have been conceptualized by ace Indian designer Manish Malhotra.
One of the initial pre-wedding functions – the traditional dandiya raas night – has already taken place at the iconic Ambani mansion Antilia in Mumbai where singer Falguni Pathak entertained the gathering with her foot-tapping numbers.

There will be foot action of another sort when guests will strap on skis and navigate their way down the smooth, award-worthy slopes of St. Moritz with the help of skiing experts. They will relax from their sporting endeavors in luxury properties such as Kulm Hotel St. Moritz, Badrutt's Palace Hotel and the Grand Hotel Des Bains Kempinski St.Moritz which are said to have been booked out for the glitzy festivities.

St. Moritz is a popular playground for rich, international jetsetters from Europe and around the world. It has hosted the Olympic Winter Games twice and homes there are said to be some of the most expensive in the world.
Everyone is curious to see who will wear what as the icy environs of St. Moritz in February do not lend itself to flouncy lehengas or brocade achkans. With style stalwarts like fashion-loving Karan Johar at St. Moritz, we can't wait to see who is whizzing up and down the style stakes as they celebrate with Akash Ambani and Shloka Mehta.
The Ambani matriarch, Tina Ambani and Akash Ambani. Singers Falguni Pathak and Tushar Trivedi were part of the performances.

"This Rosé is elegant and distinct, with aromas of rose petals and subtle hints of strawberry and grapefruit. Bursts of fresh orange and lemon zest colorfully drive the palate and are delicately balanced with flavors of orange marmalade. A silky entrance on the palate coupled with fresh and uplifting acidity leaves you with our signature coastal expressiveness." | {

Space Shuttle Atlantis / OV-104 | STS-115
Sept. 9, 2006, 3:14 p.m. - Sept. 9, 2006, 3:14 p.m.
Mission: Human Exploration
Low Earth Orbit Launch Complex 39B Kennedy Space Center, FL, USA
STS-115 was a Space Shuttle mission to the International Space Station (ISS) flown by Space Shuttle Atlantis. It was the first assembly mission to the ISS after the Columbia disaster, following the two successful Return to Flight missions, STS-114 and STS-121. STS-115 launched from Pad 39-B at the Kennedy Space Center on 9 September 2006 at 11:14:55 EDT (15:14:55 UTC). The mission is also referred to as ISS-12A by the ISS program. The mission delivered the second port-side truss segment (ITS P3/P4), a pair of solar arrays (2A and 4A), and batteries. A total of three spacewalks were performed, during which the crew connected the systems on the installed trusses, prepared them for deployment, and did other maintenance work on the station.

Space Shuttle Atlantis (Orbiter Vehicle Designation: OV‑104) is a Space Shuttle orbiter vehicle belonging to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the spaceflight and space exploration agency of the United States. Constructed by the Rockwell International company in Southern California and delivered to the Kennedy Space Center in Eastern Florida in April 1985, Atlantis is the fourth operational and the second-to-last Space Shuttle built. Its maiden flight was STS-51-J from 3 to 7 October 1985. Atlantis embarked on its 33rd and final mission, also the final mission of a space shuttle, STS-135, on 8 July 2011. STS-134 by Endeavour was expected to be the final flight before STS-135 was authorized in October 2010. STS-135 took advantage of the processing for the STS-335 Launch On Need mission that would have been necessary if STS-134's crew became stranded in orbit. Atlantis landed for the final time at the Kennedy Space Center on 21 July 2011. By the end of its final mission, Atlantis had orbited the Earth a total of 4,848 times, traveling nearly 126,000,000 mi (203,000,000 km) or more than 525 times the distance from the Earth to the Moon.

Chapter 1832: Final Decision
When the grand elders and elders saw how their Chief kneeled before Huang Xiaolong, they felt shocked. Especially the grand elder, who had ordered to throw out Huang Xiaolong, was more shocked. It was as though all the blood had drained from his body.
"I heard about the events that happened at the gates. This subordinate is at fault, and I will accept Lord's punishment!" Gao Changran cupped his fists and said.
He lowered his head, and he didn't dare to breathe loudly before Huang Xiaolong.
With a wave of his hand, Huang Xiaolong pardoned all of them. "It's fine. Let all of them leave."
Huang Xiaolong didn't blame Gao Changran for not publicizing his identity to the Six Nether Gate's disciples. He knew what Gao Changran was thinking, and he didn't place the previous encounter in his heart.
"Yes, Lord!" Gao Changran acknowledged before turning around to address the Six Nether Gate's members. "Take your leave."
Of course, no one dared to go against his order, and all of them left the hall.
Gao Changran swept his gaze past his son, Gao Fang, and daughter, Gao Mengyao, requesting them to leave as well.
When everyone had left the hall, Gao Changran kneeled before Huang Xiaolong once again and kowtowed. "Gao Changran greets Your Majesty, the King of Hell! Your Majesty is invincible throughout the lands!"
In fact, he had informed his children about Huang Xiaolong's background. Both of them knew that he was from the Netherworld King's Organization, but they didn't know his exact position.
Without Huang Xiaolong's order, no one dared to leak his position in the organization carelessly.
After allowing Gao Changran to stand, Huang Xiaolong started to ask him about the matters regarding the Frigid North City and the Eternal Devil Lands.
Gao Changran didn't dare to hide anything and replied with whatever knowledge he had. He told Huang Xiaolong everything he knew, down to the smallest detail. Before long, Huang Xiaolong gained a better picture of the situation.
After hearing Gao Changran's report, Huang Xiaolong frowned. It seemed as though things were much more complicated than he had thought. Along with the news of the birth of the Myriad Curses Devil Stele and the Glaze Devil Stele, tons of hidden masters had emerged. The Frigid North City was filled with experts and beasts overnight.
It seemed as though all the experts from the thirty-six cities had gathered in Frigid North City.
Right now, Frigid North City was experiencing an unprecedented boom.
Typically, one wouldn't be able to see existences who had surpassed the Emperor Realm even if they waited for a billion years. However, based on the Six Nether Gate's report, five of those existences had gathered in the Frigid North City!
It was unimaginable that five overlords had gathered in the same city at the same time.
However, reality proved otherwise. They were currently gathered in the Frigid North City.
"Did the ancestor of the Massacring Gods Gate, Chi Han, come as well?" Huang Xiaolong felt that it was a little inconvincible.
"Indeed. Your Majesty, we received news that Chu Han is currently residing in the Silver Devil Sect's headquarters!"
"Silver Devil Sect…" A light flickered in Huang Xiaolong's eyes.
The Silver Devil Sect was the third-ranked superpower in the Frigid North City. It was also ranked in the top twenty of the entire Devil World. Even though their position was still far from the Devil Ape Cult, they were way stronger than the Six Nether Gate.
The Six Nether Gate considered the Silver Devil Sect as an insurmountable existence.
Since Chu Han could reside in their headquarters, it seemed as though his relationship with them was something out of the ordinary.
Suddenly, one of the grand elders of the Six Nether Gate entered the hall and reported to Gao Changran, "Chief, the young master of the Devil Ape Cult, sent a transmission symbol to us. He said…" Halfway through the report, the grand elder's words ground to a halt.
"What did he say?" Gao Changran asked. "Where's the transmission symbol?"
The grand elder hastily retrieved a transmission symbol and passed it over to Gao Changran. The moment Gao Changran read it, his face dropped.
He ordered the grand elder to leave the hall.
"Your Majesty, please take a look." As soon as the grand elder had left, Gao Changran passed the transmission symbol to Huang Xiaolong.
Accepting it, Huang Xiaolong swept his gaze over it and saw that the young master of the Devil Ape Cult had commanded Gao Changran to rush over to the Heavenly Punishment Pavilion in the Six Nether City. If he failed to do so, there would be severe consequences.
It was a clear threat.
Of course, it was clear as day that the young master of the Devil Ape Cult was saying that the Devil Ape Cult would move against the Six Nether Gate if they failed to comply.
There was no doubt that the young master of the Devil Ape Cult was able to openly threaten Gao Changran due to the overwhelming strength of the faction behind him.
Huang Xiaolong chuckled, "There's no need to care about him. It's just the Devil Ape Cult…"
"Yes!" Since the King of Hell commanded him to ignore the message, Gao Changran felt like a hundred-ton boulder was lifted off his chest.
"Have we prepared everything we need to enter the Eternal Devil Lands?"
As the name suggested, the Frigid North City experienced extreme winter. Since the Eternal Devil Lands was located deep past that, they couldn't avoid the bone-piercing chill. The coldness would seep deep into one's soul, and there was definitely a need to be well prepared. Armor and divine pills to ward away the cold were a must.
"Your Majesty, please rest assured that I have already prepared everything we need. I sent someone to purchase a batch of Fire Phoenix Divine Armor. We also bought a batch of Fire Dragon Scorched Heavenly Pills. Everything should be ready in a few days. I have also ordered for someone to buy an Icy Dragon Phoenix Spirit Ship."
Huang Xiaolong nodded his head. "That's great. Make some preparations. As soon as things are ready, we'll leave for the Eternal Devil Lands."
Gao Changran bowed in acknowledgment, and Huang Xiaolong allowed him to take his leave.
When Gao Changran returned to his palace, he saw both his son and daughter waiting for him in the main hall.
He knew that they were curious about the events that had happened with regards to Huang Xiaolong.
"Father, what is the Lord's identity? Why would you need to kowtow to him? Could he be the personal disciple of one of the Great Commanders of the Netherworld King's Organization?" Gao Mengyao couldn't hold back her curiosity.
Of course, Gao Changran shook his head. He said in a solemn tone, "The Lord's identity isn't something you can casually ask about. Enough. The news about him being from the Netherworld King's Organization cannot be leaked! Otherwise, we won't be able to clean our names even if we were to die a hundred deaths! Ensure none of the elders and grand elders speak a word about today's matter. If they do, they will be charged with treason!"
Both Gao Fan and Gao Mengyao felt their hearts shaking as they replied, "Yes, father!"
"Father, are we really going to the Eternal Devil Lands?" Gao Fan asked all of a sudden. "The Eternal Devil Lands are filled with restrictions, and many superpowers have their sights set on it as well. With the power of our Six Nether Gate, even if we really locate the two Devil Steles, we won't be able to keep them. We might even invite a sect destroying disaster!"
Gao Changran chuckled, "You do not need to worry about this. The Lord has his arrangements. If we really find the two Devil Steles, the Lord will reward us handsomely. The rewards he will be giving are something you can't even begin to imagine."
He knew that the current King of Hell was extremely generous when it came to rewards.
By the time an hour had passed, the young master of the Devil Ape Cult, Wu Jingnan, sat in the Heavenly Punishment Pavilion as he boiled with rage. How dare Gao Changran refuse to turn up?! Didn't I give him an invitation?!
Is Gao Changran disrespecting my Devil Ape Cult?! | {

Q: Static footer in iOS Im Looking to get my footer to Float over a table view So that it is Always Visible and not only when i scroll to the bottom.
i have tried resizing the table view using this code :
- (id)initWithStyle:(UITableViewStyle)style
{
if ((self = [super initWithStyle: style]))
{
UIView *footer = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame: CGRectMake(0, 0, 1, 45)];
footer.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
self.tableView.tableFooterView = footer;
self.tableView.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 100);
footer.hidden = NO;
}
I have had no luck thus far.
I have also tried Using other windows and resizing all the .XIB files.
A: A UITableView's tableFooterViewproperty is a UIViewobject that is always displayed at the bottom of the content, below the last section. Even if that is not really clear in Apple's documentation (extract : "Returns an accessory view that is displayed below the table.").
If you want the footer to be static and non-floating, you have two easy choices :
*
*Not ideal but simple : Use the last section's footer view as your static footer. This will work at some conditions :
*
*your UITableView style must be UITableViewStylePlain (as UITableViewStyleGroupedgives the same behaviour to section headers/footers as to the UITableView tableHeaderView and tableFooterView
*You won't be able to use the last section footer for its real purpose : giving footer informations to a specific section
Here is a simple example :
- (UIView *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView viewForFooterInSection:(NSInteger)section {
UIView *view = nil;
if (section == [tableView numberOfSections] - 1) {
// This UIView will only be created for the last section of your UITableView
view = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectZero];
[view setBackgroundColor:[UIColor redColor]];
}
return view;
}
*
*Best solution right now : Add a UIView (either in code or in your XIB) at the same level as your UITableView. One little condition :
*
*The self.view property of your UIViewController must not be your UITableView object. That means you can't subclass UITableViewController but UIViewController and make your controller conform to UITableViewDataSource and UITableViewDelegate protocols. It's actually simpler than it looks and a better implementation (as far as I'm concerned) than using directly UITableViewController.
Here is a simple example in code (but you can do exactly the same using Interface Builder) :
ViewController.h:
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
@interface ViewController : UIViewController <UITableViewDataSource, UITableViewDelegate>
@end
ViewController.m :
#import "ViewController.h"
@interface ViewController ()
@property (strong, nonatomic) UITableView *tableView;
@property (strong, nonatomic) UIView *fixedTableFooterView;
@end
@implementation ViewController
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
CGFloat fixedFooterHeight = 200.0;
// Initialize the UITableView
CGRect tableViewFrame = CGRectMake(CGRectGetMinX(self.view.bounds), CGRectGetMinY(self.view.bounds), CGRectGetWidth(self.view.bounds), CGRectGetHeight(self.view.bounds) - fixedFooterHeight);
self.tableView = [[UITableView alloc] initWithFrame:tableViewFrame style:UITableViewStylePlain]; // or Grouped if you want...
[self.tableView setDataSource:self];
[self.tableView setDelegate:self];
[self.view addSubview:self.tableView];
// Initialize your Footer
CGRect footerFrame = CGRectMake(CGRectGetMinX(self.view.bounds), CGRectGetMaxY(self.view.bounds) - fixedFooterHeight, CGRectGetWidth(self.view.bounds), fixedFooterHeight); // What ever frame you want
self.fixedTableFooterView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:footerFrame];
[self.fixedTableFooterView setBackgroundColor:[UIColor redColor]];
[self.view addSubview:self.fixedTableFooterView];
}
- (void)viewDidUnload {
[super viewDidUnload];
[self setTableView:nil];
[self setFixedTableFooterView:nil];
}
@end
You can also specify UIViewAutoresizing mask to make it work seamlessly in portrait and landscape but I didn't to complicate this rather simple code.
WARNING : This .h and .m files won't compile as I didn't put in the UITableViewDataSource required methods. Comment the setDataSource: line if you want to see it in action.
Hope this will help,
Feel free to ask me other details,
A: You can add UIView under the UITableView and it will be always visible.
If you need lot of customisation, just add UITableView to UIViewController instead of using UITableViewController.
A: Try this, it will keep your view alway at the bottom of the view:
footerView.transform = CGAffineTransformMakeTranslation(0, scrollView.contentOffset.y)
A: A very hacky solution, but this will work :
UIWindow *keyWindow = [[[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate] window];
[keyWindow.viewForBaselineLayout addSubview:footer];
Beware, this will hide everything in your main window that it will overlap.

"I recently had a new boiler installed as part of the Home Energy Upgrade Scheme. AP were very proactive in securing the work and provided a competitive quote. From the point we first contacted them to the installation being completed took less than two weeks. The installation team arrived promptly each day, were polite and most importantly keep any disruption to a minimum. In summary, if you want a company that does exactly what you want, when you want it then AP is for you."
"AP have recently installed a Worcester Bosch Condensing boiler for me which replaced an ageing combi. The installation was carried out under the requirements of the Bristol Home Energy Upgrade project and followed the rules of the 'Green Deal'. AP were well aware of both schemes and are registered as Green Deal Installers. This meant that their surveyor understood the process involved and what was required, so no long explanation from me was needed.
Invariably any replacement boiler would differ in size from the existing boiler and great care was taken to ensure that the new boiler would fit the existing gap, that the hole used by the existing flue could still be used and that the new boiler wouldn't protrude below the kitchen units. Their recommendation was to go for a compact boiler which still matched the heat output and flow rate of the existing, just far more efficiently! It was this attention to detail which ultimately meant I chose AP over the other quotes I received, all of which were very similarly priced.
On the day of the installation itself, two guys arrived at 8:30am, lay dust sheets down as they walked from the front door to the kitchen, refused a coffee and began work straight away. By 2:30 in the afternoon they had finished and were helping me complete the claim forms. It was an impressive volume of work they had to undertake including completely dismantling the existing boiler in-situ, enlarging the flue hole slightly, re-routing of various pipes and tapping into the under-sink drainage to meet the increased requirements of current building regulations.
I would certainly recommend AP to anyone considering taking advantage of the Bristol Home Energy Upgrade project or the Green Deal. They did a great job.
All the best for the future"
"I have used AP Electrical on two occasions now, once to install a new consumer unit, and once to fit new electrics in my bathroom. Each time I had excellent service. They fitted in the jobs at extremely short notice and I was extremely happy with the finished standard of work. Their electricians are friendly and courteous and a pleasure to work with. I would definitely recommend!"
"I would like to say thank you for your professionalism and sensitive consideration last week when carrying out the work in my home. I was impressed by your visits to check with me that everything was ok and asking me if there were any problems. There were no problems because your staff were so good.
I would also like to highly praise the team that carried out the work. They were very helpful, polite and considerate. The standard of their work is excellent. They were also very hard working. A credit to your company.
"We are delighted with our solar panel install from the guys at AP.
True to their word, their service was first class from start to finish.
They were polite, friendly and very helpful throughout. Taking time to talk through the options available to us and explaining how we benefit from the Feed-in Tariff.
Their friendly staff took real pride in their work, making sure the panels were installed without a hitch.
Thanks to AP we are now being paid to generate our own electricity and would not hesitate in recommending them to anyone considering putting solar panels on their roof."
"You recently completed a rewiring job at my home and i wanted to let you know how pleased i am with the quality of the work.
Rhys and Mike completed to job promptly and with the minimum amount of disruption. Thank you for your professionalism, consideration and care.
I would have no hesitation in recommending your company to other"
"We are delighted with the service we received from AP and would not hesitate in recommending them to anyone considering installing solar panels on their roof.
Their honest and straight forward approach was most welcome. We found their proposal very detailed and easy to understand. Their sound Technical knowledge stood out compared to the other quotes we received and their thorough survey (including a structural engineers report of the roof, gave us confidence we had chosen the right company.
They were prompt and efficient throughout. The panels were installed very efficiently by Ian and his team. A very neat and tidy job well done by a company who clearly take great pride in their work.
"I feel that I needed to congratulate you and your workers for my Solar Panel Installation. The degree of workmanship shown by your installers was first class and they were all very polite.
Everything was left clean and tidy when they finished, they even asked for the Hoover.
"The service and support from AP Electrical & Renewable Energy Ltd. has been exceptional.
We were impressed by just how much time the people in AP Electrical were prepared to spend with us to ensure that we selected a product that would meet our expectations.
"Please pass on my thanks & appreciation to all of your team who carried out fitting of the solar panels on Sunday 20/11/2011. They did a fantastic job.
I discussed the fitting with Gary on the previous day (who was working on a neighboring property) & he addressed all my concerns & put my mind at rest.
Rhys actually carried out the installation & he did a really professional job. All the cabling is concealed which is fantastic. My special thanks to him for the wonderful care that he took.
Any time that the men had to come in to the house they were so careful & considerate. I am absolutely delighted as all the team were exceptionally pleasant & courteous & a pleasure to have around.
Please also pass on my thanks to Paul who came to give me a quote & arrange fitting at very short notice & again was a pleasure to deal with. Also he suggested fitting the inverter in the garage rather than in the loft, which was a far more preferable option to me.
Finally thanks to you, Marc, in the office for being so helpful at what is a very busy time for you."
The initial assessment and subsequent review visit from Paul was friendly and informative, whilst also very thorough. The information provided was very good and was extremely helpful in my choice of installation.
The actual fitting went very well, with the whole thing being completed in one day. The team of electricians and fitters were very polite and efficient, whilst also providing easy to understand explanations. Ian was the main contact and couldn't have been more helpful.
Your personal support through the whole process was of great help to me and it was very reassuring to know that you and your colleagues were available to address any queries that arose.
The installation has been up and running for about a month now and I am very pleased with it. We are already seeing the reduction in mains electricity consumption through using our own generated power and therefore anticipate some significant reduction in our bills.
My electricity supplier (EDF) has processed my "FIT" application and I look forward to the first payments in respect of our generated units, as well as the return to Grid.
Thanks again for all your help with this"
was carried out at our home.
We had 12 solar panels installed at the end of June this year. With our gently sloping south-facing roof, power production during July has been between 2 and 3 times our consumption form the grid. While in winter months we'll still be net grid consumers, the forecast that we'll be an overall "green" electricity exporter, and that the installation will have paid for itself within 10 years, is entirely realistic.
Preparation for the work was admirable. There was an independent structural assessment, and an assessment of the work needed in relation to our existing facilities. On this basis the costing was drawn up and agreed. On completion of the work, no extra costs were involved.
Three days before installation, a contractor put up exterior scaffolding to give roof access. There was no disruption to the house interior. Then came the day for mounting the solar panels on the roof. The work was carried out amazingly efficiently. The team had a clear plan of action, and carried out much of the external work first, so that the run of the house from ground floor meter to loft was carried out very swiftly – within perhaps one hour. The debris from drilling through the walls was very minor, and the team cleaned up and were very courteous at all times.
Within three hours the work was completed. We were given a quick tour of the installation and the new meter, and a few "what if" scenarios (e.g. what to do for in cases of power outage) were discussed. The new meter showed power production had started immediately.
A few days later the scaffolding was removed, and then you paid us a visit to discuss any remaining issues (e.g. we were interested in how best to use the feed in tariffs), and payment to budget was completed by us. Your readiness to be contacted over any concerns we might have in the future was very reassuring. In fact, a month on, we have had no concerns whatever.
Our silent "roof resident" is bringing in a steady income (index linked, and guaranteed for 25 years). Surely this is a very sound investment – more profitable than the ISA we cashed in to finance the installation. Moreover, we have the lasting satisfaction of reducing our annual carbon footprint (by an estimated tonne or more).
It's been a pleasure to deal with your company. The courteous and efficient way in which you and your team carried out this high quality work is highly commendable, and we are very grateful, satisfied customers."
"From the initial contact thru to installation today(July 18th 2012), I found all the guys excellent, professional, understanding of our requirements and dealt with all/any issue immediately, their own installers were truly exceptional, neat/tidy,efficient, explained the system and fully completed our 4kw system in just about 5hrs. A great experience from start to finish!!"
"This was a very smooth operation indeed, from first quote to installation.
The installation team were courteous and efficient. Every effort was made to install the system so that it made minimum disruption to the structure and appearance of the house.
I am very satisfied with the standard of work carried out"
"AP Was very good and i would recommend them to anybody"
"A brilliant service, friendly yet proffesional, from sales to scaffolders and the fitting team, clean, tidy installation, nothing too much trouble it's 5 stars from us...."
"The whole team were amazing from the scaffolders to the installers, really nice guys, very polite, tidy and informative, they were a pleasure to do business with and the whole installation was done in less than a day. We are very impressed with them."
"The work was carried out within the agreed timescales and was done tidily with minimum disruption by a polite and friendly team. Problems with a faulty RCD causing the circuit to trip on two occasions were dealt with promptly on the day reported and the faulty component was swapped out. No problems since."
"Very fast response and fitted within two weeks of accepting quote. V pleased."
"BIG THANKS. AP ELECTRICAL AND RENEWABLE ENERGY LTD.
I WOULD LIKE TO THANK YOU FOR THE PROFESSIONAL SERVICE FROM YOUR COMPANY.
FROM FIRST CONTACT, FROM YOUR SALES PERSON. RIGHT THROUGH TO YOUR INSTALLATION TEAM.
HAD 16 PANELS FITTED TO MY HOME.
AND THE INSTALLATION TEAM WAS VERY POLITE, CLEAN AND TIDY WORKERS.
FROM START TO FINISH THE INSTALLATION WENT LIKE CLOCKWORK.
Thank you for the commissioning pack which we received last night.
We have now returned the FIT forms so hopefully we will be in plenty to time to receive the 43p tariff.
The solar system is up and running and we did notice today that our meter was at one time going backwards!!
We would like to add that we were very impressed with the installation. All the interconnecting cables having been run via the cavity walls. All the team were extremely helpful and very professional.
We are very pleased that your company did the installation and would recommend you to others with the utmost confidence.
I feel that I needed to congratulate you and your workers for my Solar Panel Installation.
The degree of workmanship shown by your installers was first class and they were all very polite.
I would have no hesitation in recommending your company to anyone else.
I would just like to say a big thank you to you and your team for the excellent job they did over the weekend fitting my solar panels. I would recommend you for your work in the future.
"Thank you for the installation, the crew worked very well and I am pleased with the outcome. Thank you once again for the prompt fitting of the system.
It was a pleasure dealing with you and I will definitely be recommending you to friends and colleagues who may be interested in solar power.
Overall I'm very pleased with the installation and must thank you again for being so easy to contact and quick to respond in dealing with any queries I had during the whole process.
Finally, thanks to Ian and the installation team who worked neatly and quickly to get the job done."
Just a note to say how delighted we are with our solar panel installation. You made the whole experience easy from start to finish, and we must compliment you on your friendly prompt and efficient attention.
The installation itself took just over a day, and was carried out with the minimum of fuss and disruption. It has been very neatly installed and blends in with the roof well, So much so that we have been complimented on its appearance.
The system has been up and running now for three weeks and the output of the system seems well on track to meet the projected figures. The weather has not been good, since the installation, so that given some sunny days, output figures should exceed expectations. We have in fact generated almost as much electricity as we have used. It's a pity we can't store it!
Thanks again, and we would certainly recommend you to anyone who is considering solar panels."
A great big thank you for a first class job in all aspects of the installation of the solar panels. We were highly impressed with your magnificent team of very professional installers including electricians, roofers and scaffolders. The Teamwork was very impressive.
I am very pleased with the speed, efficiency and pleasantness of the installers of my solar panel system.
"AP Electrical and Renewable Energy Ltd installed Solar PV cells on my roof. They were very knowledgeable on the technology and went to great lengths to explain everything beforehand and put my mind at rest on issues on which I had concerns. They were very competitive on price, had the appropriate skills and knowledge and installed the equipment efficiently and very effectively.
I would have no reservation in recommending them to others and have indeed passed their name and telephone number to friends and colleagues who have expressed an interest in this same technology"
"Just a big thankyou for completing our whole PV project in half the time. It will make a big difference to our tenants. I heard yesterday that HA's in Wales planned to deliver PV to 15000 homes, but only did 4000 because of the FIT changes. We did 100% of ours thanks to your guys.
Please pass on this message and have a good break."
"i have to say how pleased i was with your services,when you installed a gas combi for me. the service was excellent,very professional,clean and tidy.
i would recomend you to anyone.
"Hi. Just a couple of words of appreciation regarding your recent installation of a replacement boiler for me at my home.
I had recently come home from an operation and was not in a completely fit state to prepare for the installation, and one of your Team assured me that it was no problem, the boys would sort it for me, in fact the caller was quite insistent that I should not worry nor attempt to move anything.
The team you sent were excellent promoters of your friendly professional and value for money service, they arrived, introduced themselves, and started almost immediately. They moved the things I couldn't, and dismantled the Utility room, all with all care I would have done myself.
They installed the replacement boiler and ancillary timers and thermostats in a very clean and careful manner, there was minimal disruption to the household, water was only turned off for the minimum time needed, and to be fair, it was not even noticed. They then re-fitted everything they had removed, apart from the dust from behind the fittings, that they didn't put back, and Utility room was back as it was before they arrived.
I was very impressed by the knowledge of Nigel, the guy who came and gave me the quote, and his sensible guidance on what would best suit our installation, the lads that did the installation, and their skill and friendly professionalism, and of course I must not forget the Company's actual quote. I feel as if I have had some good kit, properly installed, and at a fair price. Definitely putting AP Electrical & Renewable Energy Ltd. on my first call list of trusted tradesmen.
Just a note to thank you for the tremendous job you've just completed at my son's house.
It is always with some trepidation that I commit myself to accepting a quote for an expensive item, such as a boiler replacement, from a company I don't know.However, your quote was extremely competitive and, in addition, your representative, Nigel, was extremely knowledgeable and concerned to ensure that he fully understood my requirements and that I knew precisely what was needed and going to be supplied.
Following a full explanation by Nigel I received a detailed itemised written quotation.
I did have other much more expensive quotes and one which was cheaper. None of these other quotes were supplying the same standard of equipment so I decided to go with your firm as Nigel promised that your levels of customer service would meet my requirements.
In the event your two fitters were exemplary in all respects. They were punctual, competent and professional.
They worked efficiently and to the highest possible standards and left the premises in a cleaner state than when they started!
Your customer service did not just meet my expectations, it exceeded them.
Please give my thanks to Nigel, your two fitters and all others in the back office who contributed to a job done so well.
I look forward to a long association with your company as you undertake regular maintenance in the future.
Just a note to say thankyou to you and your team (Reese, Keith & John) for the excellent job they did in the removal & replacement of the central hearing system in my mother in law's house.
Once the report has said that the old system had failed completely and that a full new system was suggested.
We knew how difficult this was going to be as my 90 year old mother in law needed to stay in the house whilst this work was being carried out.
Following your survey you gave us confidence that this would be possible.
The work was carried out in a professional & competent manor by the team, completed on time and to schedule.
My mother in law was able to return to her home in the evenings and not know any work had been done.
Many thanks for companies efforts, we would not hesitate to recommend your company to other potential customers.

ACB Urges Department of Justice to Ensure Right to Private, Independent Vote
Jun 3, 2020 | Politics
Paper Ballots Inaccessible to Blind, Visually Impaired
ALEXANDRIA, VA, June 03, 2020 /24-7PressRelease/ — "Individuals with disabilities have a right to full participation in voting, including absentee voting," stated Eric Bridges, executive director of the American Council of the Blind. "Persons with disabilities have fought for decades for their right to vote privately and independently. Now, especially in light of COVID-19, such persons are fighting for their right to vote via absentee ballot."
On May 15, 2020, ACB filed a complaint with the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), Disability Rights Section, to emphasize the inaccessibility of absentee voting for persons who are blind and visually impaired in the state of Idaho during the 2020 primary election. The complaint provided personal declarations of Idaho residents who, as it stands now, cannot vote privately and independently in their home state via absentee ballot. This submission was a supplemental complaint to one filed by Disability Rights Idaho (DRI) on April 23, 2020. The complaint filed by DRI stressed concerns about the lack of information being provided for voters with disabilities, including elderly individuals with disabilities, regarding accessibility options so that voters can maintain their right to vote independently during the May 19, 2020 primary election.
"DRI remains concerned that voters with disabilities across the state of Idaho may become disenfranchised by the lack of uniformity and specificity that is being offered when it comes to providing accommodations to voters with disabilities," said Courtney Holthus, Advocacy Director with DRI. "Voters with disabilities have the right to request modifications to the voting process. They have a right to equally effective communication, including the provision of ballots in alternative formats. Those rights are not waived or eliminated by the COVID-19 crisis."
ACB urges the DOJ to ensure the right to a private and independent vote in Idaho for all future elections. Both organizations are confident that these complaints with the Department will yield positive findings that will impact voting accessibility nationwide.
The American Council of the Blind is a national grassroots consumer organization representing Americans who are blind and visually impaired. With 70 affiliates, ACB strives to increase the independence, security, equality of opportunity, and to improve quality of life for all blind and visually impaired people.

@miki thanks - I'm not sure how this thing works.
@ian mostly how you probably expect. *shrug* jury's still out on costs vs benefits of private Mastodon instances, partly because of the challenges of building an initial network.
@miki the bridge.joinmastodon.org tool doesn't seem amazing. | {

Fátima Padinha (1958), também conhecida por Fá, foi uma das fundadoras da primeira girls band portuguesa Doce.
A sua vida e carreira enquanto membro da banda, foi retratada no filme "Bem Bom" da realizadora Patrícia Sequeira, que estreou nos cinemas portugueses em julho de 2021.
Percurso
Fátima Padinha e Teresa Miguel, vindas dos extintos Gemini, criam as Doce em 1979, em conjunto com Laura Diogo e Lena Coelho, e lançam, em 1980, o primeiro single Amanhã de Manhã, composto por Tozé Brito e Mike Sargeant. Nesse mesmo ano, levam ao Festival da Canção o tema homónimo Doce, que venceu o segundo lugar e lançou a banda para o horário nobre da televisão portuguesa.
Em 1981, as Doce marcaram e repetiram presença em muitos programas de entretenimento televisivo como "Eu Show Nico" ou "Passeio dos Alegres".
Mas, ainda em 1981, com a sua segunda ida ao Festival da Canção, ao som de Ali-Babá, as Doce sofrem as maiores críticas do público, pelas roupas de odaliscas utilizadas na atuação. O júri composto de "professores primários, presidentes de juntas de freguesia e padres" relegou o grupo para quarto lugar (atrás de Carlos Paião, José Cid e Maria Guinot). Ainda assim, o single tornou-se um dos maiores êxitos do Festival da Canção.
Na edição de 1982 do Festival da Canção, o quarteto, com look de mosqueteiras, conquista o primeiro lugar com Bem Bom, o que lhes possibilita representar Portugal no Festival da Eurovisão. Aí, a classificação foi bastante mais modesta: um 13º lugar. Ainda assim, as Doce conseguem alguns contratos internacionais, e lançam singles em espanhol e inglês.
Lena Coelho engravida, em 1985, e é substituída temporariamente por Ágata, entre maio e outubro desse ano. A banda recebe mais uns discos de platina: Quente Quente Quente ou O Barquinho da Esperança são sucessos, assim como "É Demais", o segundo álbum do grupo. Ágata entrou definitivamente para as Doce após a saída de Fátima Padinha, em 1986.
Em 1986, Fátima Padinha concorre a solo ao Festival da Canção com Uma balada de amor. As Doce ainda duraram até 1987.
Com a saída da banda e a promessa falhada de uma carreira a solo, Fátima Padinha seguiu uma carreira longe das artes e do palco. É mãe de Joana e Catarina, fruto do casamento com Pedro Passos Coelho.
Reconhecimentos e Prémios
Em julho de 2021, estreou nos cinemas portugueses o filme "Bem Bom" de Patrícia Sequeira, sobre as historias de vida e da carreiras das Doce, no qual Fátima Padinha é interpretada pela atriz Bárbara Branco.
Também em julho, foi emitido na RTP1 o documentário "Bem Bom - Realidade e Ficção" que revela os bastidores da produção do filme. A realizadora e as quatro protagonistas Bárbara Branco, Carolina Carvalho, Ana Marta Ferreira e Lia Carvalho falam da experiência vivida ao longo de toda a produção, desde os ensaios, passando pelas coreografias até aos intensos dias de rodagem. Em contraponto, as verdadeiras Doce, Fátima Padinha, Helena Coelho, Teresa Miguel e Laura Diogo, partilham momentos e testemunhos inéditos da sua carreira e das suas vidas.
Em outubro do mesmo ano, chegou a série, adaptada do filme, à RTP1 e RTP Play. Com uma forte componente musical, baseada em factos e depoimentos reais, a série acompanha todo o percurso da banda desde 1979 até ao fim da formação inicial.

This episode marks the beginning of the Naked Bible Podcast series on the book of Ezekiel. Several characteristics set Ezekiel off from the rest of the classical ("Writing") prophets: the prophet's bizarre behavior, the use of symbols and symbolic acts, and the emphasis on the Spirit. This episode introduces the prophet and what to expect as we explore the book in future series episodes. | {

The Christmas fun continues this Saturday with the band leading the parade to switch on the Christmas lights in Cleckheaton.
It's a great event and brings out the crowds and is one that the band is proud to support.
The Band will be leading Remembrance parades in Bingley and Ossett this year. We will be leading the parade in Bingley in the morning and Ossett in the afternoon.
It's a great honour to be leading this parade and to be able to pay our respects to those that gave so much for all of us.
The band was out in force again for the Greater Manchester Contest and once again both bands performed brilliantly and really showing the improvements that all the hard work is generating.
The Junior band lead the way with a very confident performance and some great comments from the judges. It's really great to know that the band has a strong future with the pool of talent in the Junior Band. They picked up a Bronze award which was really well deserved.
The Senior band then took to the arena and adapted to their new indoor surroundings by bringing home a 1st place in Turnout and Wind and a 2nd place in GME which was enough to secure a 3rd place overall.
The band now looks forward to competing in the TYMBA National Championships at Fenton Manor on 26th October.
The TYMBA contest season resumed from it's summer break on the 7th September. The band was there with both Junior and Senior bands competing.
The Junior band performed brilliantly and managed to get a bronze award and actually gained a 1st place in Wind, Turnout and 2nd places in General Music Effect and Drill.
The Senior band then took to the arena for their performance. Brilliant comments were received by spectators and judges alike with people amazed by the improvement of the band. The band came away with a 1st place for Display and Turnout and were overall Runners Up on the day.
It's a brilliant effort and goes to show the hard work that has been put in by the band is showing. | {

Owl Drugs. An anachronistically folksy small-town pharmacy and drug store (whatever that means nowadays) right on Telegraph.
really fantastic font and design, especially for what is a generic style storefront.
Funny. I just took a picture of their facade today in case anything happens to it. Like your pic better, though.
They are selling out of all their inventory. They're not even going to try to make a go of it. | {

Drag & Drop. There's nothing like it.
What happens when you need a detailed 3D render to show your client, but also need to show them various design concepts across the same package? It is easy to get caught up in worrying about the consistency of highlights, shadows and material continuity throughout the renders - and on top of it making sure that your designs look stellar as well.
No need to sweat it though. We've got it all figured out for you! Many of our clients utilize our 'Drag & Drop' PSD file structure as an option when they working through concepts on pitches, design phases and more.
This offers them the ability to have a unique and specific rendered 3D model while being able to swap out graphics, labels and colors easily. Our files are structured to not only accept new graphics, but also warps and adjusts them to ensure a realistic application on the structure.
One example is the Tyrconnell bottle, showcased above. Our client needed a rendered bottle, but also needed the ability to showcase and swap out various graphics.
Highlights, manufacturing details, and materials all stay the same while you are able to just drag and drop your updated file onto their appropriate layer. You're good to go!
Not only does this offering save designers time, but clients are ecstatic over the realistic nature that the concepts have taken. | {

Cities Economist (IGC)
Shahrukh "Shah" Wani is a Cities Economist at the International Growth Centre (IGC)'s Blavatnik School of Government-based Cities that Work team. At Cities that Work, Shah works under the direction of Sir Paul Collier (Oxford), Ed Glaeser (Harvard), and Tony Venables (Oxford) to translate economic research and practitioner experience into policy guidance for cities in developing countries.
Before his current role as a Cities Economist, Shah worked as a Research Assistant at the International Growth Centre, based at the London School of Economics (LSE). During this, Shah specifically worked as part of IGC's knowledge partnership with UN-Habitat to implement the strategic phase of the Foreign Commonwealth Office's Global Future Cities Programme. He helped create a comprehensive knowledge base for subsequent policy interventions in 19 middle-income cities.
Before joining IGC, Shah was a graduate student at the LSE's Department for International Development. At LSE, he studied a blend of courses in institutional theory, development economics, and public service delivery - graduating in autumn 2018. For his graduate dissertation, he created a theoretical model on the role of social networks in determining tax compliance behaviour.
While a student, he also worked with ActionAid UK as a consultant on taxation in four developing countries and co-authored a report highlighting progressive policy options for increasing tax revenue. Before this, Shah worked as an intern at the Grameen Foundation and the Innovations for Poverty Action (IPA), working on the Progress out of Poverty Index (now the Poverty Probability Index) at both.
Shah is also a frequent writer on the political economy of development, particularly on his native Pakistan, and has been published in several newspapers including The Guardian and Dawn.
He tweets @ShahrukWani, and his website can be accessed here.

EyeWire is a game to map the brain from Dr. Sebastian Seung's Computational Neuroscience Lab at Princeton University. EyeWire mobilizes gamers from the around the world to create 3D reconstructions of neurons by interacting with a deep convolutional network. Seung and his team developed an artificial intelligence algorithm that allows players to reconstruct neurons from the retina in volumetric segments by scrolling through a cube (measuring about 4.5 microns per side or ~10x smaller than the average width of a human hair) and map branches of a neuron from one side of a cube to the other, like a 3D puzzle.
EyeWire is played by over 150,000 people from 145 countries. Sign up to try it for yourself!
Read more about EyeWire on the EyeWire Blog, and check out the research paper published in Nature, where authorship was given to the EyeWire player community. Learn about the Connectome in this TED talk by Dr. Sebastian Seung, founder of EyeWire.
EyeWire is jointly operated by a nonprofit named WiredDifferently, and by the Seung Lab at Princeton University. | {

Q: Run a file compiled in VS2012-C++ under Windows XP 64bit (SP2 only) If a c++ project is compiled with VS2012, using the v110_xp toolset, the file works without problems, but if the default v110 is used, then the code cannot be executed.
Is it possible to run the stuff if v110 is used. E.g. I have the vs2012 redistributable Update 4, but if e.g. Update 2 was used to compile the project, will it make any difference if I install redistributable Update 2 instead of 4?
A: In order to target XP you must use the v110_xp toolset. The v110 toolset links to functions available only on Vista and later.

Biggest Structure In The Universe Found, Large Quasar Group Of An Incredible Scale
by James Ayre 1 comment
The largest known structure in the universe has just been discovered, and is so large that it completely violates a number of widely-accepted theories. It's a large quasar group (LQG), that's so enormous that it would take someone traveling at the speed of light at least four billion years to completely pass through it.
The discovery, made by an international group of researchers being led by the University of Central Lancashire, seems to directly contradict Einstein's Cosmological Principle. The Cosmological Principle is "the assumption that the universe, when viewed at a sufficiently large scale, looks the same no matter where you are observing it from." Of course, the theory could still hold true, but it would involve 'observing' the universe on a much larger scale than we do.
"The modern theory of cosmology is based on the work of Albert Einstein, and depends on the assumption of the Cosmological Principle. The Principle is assumed but has never been demonstrated observationally 'beyond reasonable doubt'."
For a better understanding of the scale of this thing; "our galaxy, the Milky Way, is separated from its nearest neighbour, the Andromeda Galaxy, by about 0.75 Megaparsecs (Mpc) or 2.5 million light-years."
"Whole clusters of galaxies can be 2-3 Mpc across but LQGs can be 200 Mpc or more across. Based on the Cosmological Principle and the modern theory of cosmology, calculations suggest that astrophysicists should not be able to find a structure larger than 370 Mpc."
The newly found LQG has a 'typical' dimension of 500 Mpc. Which is already much larger on its own, but "because it is elongated, its longest dimension is 1200 Mpc (or 4 billion light years) — some 1600 times larger than the distance from the Milky Way to Andromeda."
As Dr Clowes says: "While it is difficult to fathom the scale of this LQG, we can say quite definitely it is the largest structure ever seen in the entire universe. This is hugely exciting — not least because it runs counter to our current understanding of the scale of the universe."
'Even travelling at the speed of light, it would take 4 billion … years to cross. This is significant not just because of its size but also because it challenges the Cosmological Principle, which has been widely accepted since Einstein. Our team has been looking at similar cases which add further weight to this challenge and we will be continuing to investigate these fascinating phenomena."
"Quasars are the nuclei of galaxies from the early days of the universe that undergo brief periods of extremely high brightness that make them visible across huge distances. These periods are 'brief' in astrophysics terms but actually last 10-100 million years."
"Since 1982 it has been known that quasars tend to group together in clumps or 'structures' of surprisingly large sizes, forming large quasar groups or LQGs."
The new discovery was just detailed in an article published in the journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.
Here's some more information on Quasars:
"A quasi-stellar radio source ('quasar') is a very energetic and distant active galactic nucleus. Quasars are extremely luminous and were first identified as being high redshift sources of electromagnetic energy, including radio waves and visible light, that were point-like, similar to stars, rather than extended sources similar to galaxies."
"While the nature of these objects was controversial until as recently as the early 1980s, there is now a scientific consensus that a quasar is a compact region in the center of a massive galaxy surrounding its central supermassive black hole. Its size is 10–10,000 times the Schwarzschild radius of the black hole. The quasar is powered by an accretion disc around the black hole."

Music and the Movement: The Lasting Legacy of the Queen of Soul
By Marc H. Morial, President and CEO National Urban League
President and CEO National Urban League Marc Morial (File photo)
"Aretha helped define the American experience. In her voice, we could feel our history, all of it and in every shade—our power and our pain, our darkness and our light, our quest for redemption and our hard-won respect. She helped us feel more connected to each other, more hopeful, more human. And sometimes she helped us just forget about everything else and dance." — Statement from President and Mrs. Obama on the Passing of Aretha Franklin, August 16, 2018
If you could choose one artist to embody the African American experience of the 20th century, it would have to be the incomparable Miss Aretha Franklin.
In exchange for her prodigious talent, the American audience gave Franklin 20 No. 1 R&B hits and 17 Top 10 Pop singles. She won 18 Grammy Awards and was awarded a Lifetime Achievement Award. She was the first women inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, and was also awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the National Medal of Arts and the Kennedy Center Honors. And while Americans are well-known for their anti-aristocratic strain, she was universally crowned and internationally known and revered as the Queen of Soul.
But Franklin was more than the sum of awards she amassed over her six decades-long career. Her voice, sweeter than honey, became the soundtrack of a tumultuous time in American history when African Americans, women and other marginalized communities were fighting for equality and justice. Her music demanded R-E-S-P-E-C-T when far too little of it was being shown to women and people of color for far too long.
The song, "Respect," was a minor hit for Otis Redding. According to an autobiographer, once Franklin "deconstructed and reconstructed" it, this two-minute and 30-second long song became her signature, forcing Redding to later admit that, "The girl has taken that song from me." Recorded on Valentine's Day in 1967, what was originally Redding's demand to an unfaithful lover transformed into a soul anthem for social justice. It was an anchor in the constant ebb and flow of achievements and setbacks—a touchstone that intersected any and all movements, bridging any perceived divides.
Explaining why "Respect" resonated with so many seemingly disparate groups of people, Franklin wrote in her autobiography that, "It was the need of the nation, the need of the average man and woman in the street, the businessman, the mother, the fireman, the teacher — everyone wanted respect."

Using her craft to create change was likely inherited. Aretha Louise Franklin was the daughter of Barbara Siggers Franklin, a celebrated gospel singer and pianist, and C. L. Franklin, a gifted pastor with a radio broadcast who was popularly known as "the man with the million-dollar voice." She was raised by her father, a man who preached Black pride and befriended Martin Luther King Jr. The Franklin household was filled with two things: music and politics, and all these influences found their way into Franklin's art and advocacy.
Franklin was a familiar and comfortable with the movement for civil rights as she was with keys on a piano. She performed at rallies for Dr. King in an effort to fundraise for the movement. Later, she would also sing at his funeral, performing "Precious Lord," a song Dr. King asked Franklin to perform on countless occasions before his assassination. Like her father, her voice became central in the civil rights movements, with many adding "Respect" and her 1968 hit "Think" to the canon of pivotal protest anthems.
Franklin's presence and popularity were not limited to the 60s or 70s. Whether she was warning freshmen that college was a different world than where they came from, feeling like a "Natural Woman," riding on the "Freeway of Love," or performing a stirring rendition of "My Country Tis of Thee" during Barack Obama's 2009 inauguration, multiple generations have its version of Franklin to celebrate and rediscover.
Born in Memphis and raised in Detroit, where she will be laid to rest, Franklin ultimately became an American treasure. Today, heaven may have the Queen of Soul, but forever, forever and ever she—and her music—will stay in our hearts.

Why I Ended Up with a Surface Pro 2
It's not the perfect Windows 8 hybrid, but hopefully it's good enough.
By Jared Newman Oct. 23, 2013
Jared Newman for TIME
Ever since Microsoft released Windows 8, I've been waiting for a device with just the right combination of tablet-like portability and laptop-like power. A year later, and I'm still waiting.
But on Tuesday, I caved and picked up a Surface Pro 2 with 256 GB of storage. It is not the hybrid of my dreams — ideally, I want a slightly larger screen and more battery life, and at $1430 with a Type Cover it was more money than I'd hoped to spend — but I'm not sure if such a device will exist anytime soon. And despite the lukewarm reviews of the Surface Pro 2, which are generally hesitant to recommend the device to everyone, I'm hoping it'll be a good fit for me.
Here are a some reasons why I settled on the Surface Pro 2:
Half Working, Half Relaxing
I use a desktop PC for work during the day, but my work doesn't always end there. In the evenings, I may still do some writing, research or e-mailing on a laptop — most likely my Samsung Series 5 550 Chromebook.
But what happens is that even when I'm not doing work, I end up staying on my laptop for things like reading and checking Twitter. Curling up with a laptop isn't ideal, but it's easier to stick with it than to switch back and forth between devices. Having something that can become a tablet makes sense, and the Surface is arguably better at it than a larger convertible device like the Lenovo Yoga.
Windows By Process of Elimination
Plenty of people now use iPads for light work, but it's not ideal for me. I need a mouse or trackpad for precision uses like image editing, and for quickly accessing context menus such as "open in new tab" in the browser. There are some Android hybrids with trackpads, but the operating system isn't really built for cursor use. I could get another Chromebook, but I'd rather not have another machine that can't access desktop software such as LiveScribe, LibreOffice and HipChat. That leaves Windows and Mac, and Windows is the only one that's even attempting hybrid devices right now. (Apple CEO Tim Cook disapproves of the concept.)
Besides, there's one other Windows perk that pushed me over the edge: I have a sizeable PC game library in Steam. The Surface Pro 2 won't run every game, but it should be adequate for lighter and older games. I'm looking forward to plugging in an Xbox 360 controller, propping up the kickstand and getting some gaming in.
Filling the Void with a Smaller Tablet
Though I wouldn't buy the Surface Pro 2 as my only tablet due to its lack of apps and chunkier build, I see it as a good complement to a smaller, less expensive device like the iPad Mini. After using tablets both large and small, I find it easier to cradle a smaller screen in one hand while reading, or to reach all parts of the screen with my thumbs while gaming. If I'm going to get a larger device along with it, I'll want more power beyond what the iPad offers.
Along that line, the added weight and thickness of the Surface Pro 2 doesn't really bother me. Larger tablets usually end up on my lap anyway because it frees up both hands to touch the screen. The bulky Surface 2 isn't really a burden when you're not holding it up, plus it has the kickstand to help free up those hands even further.
A Little Complexity Is Okay
I've seen plenty of complaints that Windows 8 adds complexity by squishing two operating systems together, but I'm okay with that. I enjoy venturing into the modern side of Windows 8.1 for full-screen apps like Twitter and Latermark (a free Pocket client for offline reading), and retreating to the classic desktop for programs like Chrome and Steam. I even use the two sides together, keeping Twitter or Mail in Snap view while typing a document on the desktop.
Reservations Remain
Despite all those reasons for getting a Surface, I still have some hesitations about it.
The screen is smaller than most laptops, which makes me worry about eyestrain. Because the screen is small, so is the trackpad on the matching Type Cover, and the felt material is no match for the glass trackpad of a proper laptop. So far I've also noticed some general nitpicks with the trackpad, such as some fussy two-finger scrolling in certain apps. I'm not keen on the idea of connecting a mouse to just correct the trackpad's shortcomings.
My other big concern is battery life. While it's much improved over the first Surface Pro, it's still no match for a traditional tablet. In my mixed use today, I didn't even make it to six hours on a charge. The Power Cover keyboard is an option when it comes out next year, but that's another $200, and it adds a lot more weight to the package.
With all that said, I'll be spending the next few weeks making the Surface Pro 2 part of my daily computing routine, and ultimately deciding whether to take advantage of Microsoft's 30-day return policy. As I purchased the Surface Pro 2 on Tuesday, I had two Microsoft Store employees insist, "You're going to love it." Given the price, I'd better. | {

Another SpaceX Starship nails clean test flight, but explodes on landing
Published by admin on February 3, 2021 February 3, 2021
SpaceX's latest Starship prototype launched on Tuesday, soaring miles above its South Texas facilities in a successful flight demonstration before exploding during the landing attempt. It's the second failed landing in a row, after a previous prototype, SN8, launched and failed to stick the landing in December.This week's launch demo — one of many in the books already — follows weeks of tension between SpaceX and the Federal Aviation Administration, which approves test launches like this one. During its high-altitude test launch with SN8 two months ago, the company violated its FAA launch license. This triggered an investigation that held up today's SN9 flight and frustrated SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, The Verge reported last week.
In a statement Tuesday morning announcing SN9 was clear to fly, the FAA confirmed the previous violation: Before SN8 launched, the agency had denied a request from SpaceX to waive public safety limits associated with the flight, but SpaceX launched the thing anyway. It's still unclear what safety limits SpaceX wanted to waive in connection with the launch. The FAA declined to specify and SpaceX has yet to respond for comment.
On Tuesday, with fresh FAA approval for a flight plan that "complies with all safety and related federal regulations," the 16-story-tall rocket lifted off from SpaceX's Boca Chica, Texas test facilities around 3:30PM ET under clear skies, reaching an altitude of 6.2 miles (10km) — a bit shorter than SN8's target altitude of 7.7 miles. After that, SN9 shut down its three engines to begin a free-falling dance back to Earth, tilting on its side to test new aerodynamic flaps and attempt a "belly flop" maneuver. If all had gone well, the rocket would have landed vertically.
SN9 just before it's untimely end.
Instead, SN9 slammed into the ground at a roughly 45-degree angle, perishing in an explosive fireball just like SN8. "We had another great flight up to the 10km apogee… we've just gotta work on that landing a little bit," said SpaceX engineer John Insprucker, who usually only narrates the company's live video feeds for routine Falcon 9 launches.
The FAA opened an investigation into the SN9 landing explosion, it said in a statement Tuesday night, adding that "although this was an uncrewed test flight, the investigation will identify the root cause of today's mishap and possible opportunities to further enhance safety as the program develops."
The landing explosion sprayed debris on SN10, another Starship prototype that stood ready for SpaceX's next test flight. The company wheeled SN10 out of its towering, rocket-shaped facilities last Friday night to make room for future prototype construction.
On the live stream, Insprucker reminded SpaceX's audience that the SN9 flight, though it ended in a dramatic explosion, was a test, and a number of test objectives were met. It was the "second time we've flown Starship in this configuration, we've got a lot of good data, and the primary objective to demonstrate control of the vehicle in the subsonic re-entry looked to be very good. And we will take a lot out of that," he said.

These tests are called CAPTCHA, an acronym for Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart, and they've reached this sort of inscrutability plateau before. In the early 2000s, simple images of text were enough to stump most spambots. But a decade later, after Google had bought the program from Carnegie Mellon researchers and was using it to digitize Google Books, texts had to be increasingly warped and obscured to stay ahead of improving optical character recognition programs — programs which, in a roundabout way, all those humans solving CAPTCHAs were helping to improve. | {

In a telephone interview with Kibaaro News, a senior Military Officer of the Gambia National Army with the rank of Major, has disclosed that they are working on a plan which will see a Jola led military mutiny to force and ensure President Yahya Jammeh's transfer of power to a Mandinka President – Elect, His Excellency Adama Barrow, come 19 January 2017. The Senior Officer, who requested anonymity, explained to Kibaaro that they want their actions to send a clear message to President Yahya Jammeh and bigots like him to understand that the Gambia is a one big family, which can never divided.
He said, as a Jola, he has cousins and nephews from all other tribes of the Gambia; and there are too many Jola soldiers like him in the Gambia National Army, who will do all they can to prevent Jammeh and his bunch of criminal jugulars from setting the Gambia on fire and turning it into the West African Rwanda.
The Officer asserted that he and over 50 junior and senior officers of the Gambian National Army, ranging from the ranks of Lieutenants to Colonels, have already pledged allegiance and are actively working on the plan to ensure the forceful transfer of power from President Jammeh to President Elect Adama Barrow on 19 January 2017. He disclosed that the majority of these officers are: Jolas, Mandinkas, Fulas, Sereres, Manjagoes, and Wolofs; but they all agreed for the Jolas to lead the operation, as a symbol of tribal unity in the Gambia.
The Officer explained his request for anonymity for now, as simply to avert the attention of the authorities from thwarting their plans. He has however provided his details including: his full name, rank and the military camp, stationed at, for our publication after Mid-Night of 18th January 2016; if Jammeh has not relinquished power by then. He will further be happy to conduct a live radio interview with Bamba Mass on Kibaaro Radio from 19 January 2016.
He assured the security and protection of President – Elect Adama Barrow come Mid-Night of 18 January 2016. He explained that they are currently following the constitution of the Gambia, which is why they continue to respect the presidency of President Yahya Jammeh, until 18 January 2016. He explained after Mid-Night of 18 January 2016, they will activate their operational plans and will cease to recognize the presidency of President Yahya Jammeh and will conduct an operation to arrest him and hand him over to President Elect Adama Barrow.
He further wishes to assure the Gambian public that, there will be no war between Gambia National Army and ECOMOG forces. He disclosed that they are in touch with some of the ECOMOG forces, who are likely to be deployed into the Gambia from Senegal and Nigeria, about their cooperation and assistance, should their deployment become necessary.
He assured: "we are not going to fight for Jammeh, for what, against our own votes, because we never voted for Jammeh". He confessed that they have grown despondent with the direction of the country under Yahya Jammeh. He disclosed that even the most senior officers in the army are suffering. "Gambians think that the military are enjoying under Jammeh, but they don't know our situation. No matter how much he pays us, our salaries cannot afford the prices of local commodities for ourselves and our extended family members, it is just as crazy for us as everyone else in this country my brother!".
Gambian soldier stood on guard as citizens celebrate the defeat of Jammeh!
He said the victory of Adama Barrow brought hope for them too in the Barracks, but could not express their joy, as of yet. He said soldiers would stage their own celebrations after the york of Yahya Jammeh is lifted from their necks on 19 January 2017. He expressed: "even if the coalition dissolved the army, as many of you in the Diaspora are calling for, we will still celebrate, for the new Gambia will create other jobs for all of us in the Gambia. We will also be happy in our homes without the constant fear and suspicion we work under daily in the Gambia National Army".
He concluded by calling on all Gambian National Army soldiers to pledge their loyalties to President Elect of the Gambia, Adama Barrow, from Mid-Night of 18 January 2017 and disobey all orders from any quarters, including the Army Head Quarters, if it is anything to do with defending or supporting Yahya Jammeh.

Great to know that some soldiers are willing to defend their country in the most trying of times. The story brings hope to gambians fearing the risk of war but i do question if such a story should be published? The reason being that for such a plan to be executed successfully, I believe secrecy is capital. Great for the general public to be privy to such kind of information but i would rather know after it has been successfully executed.
Yahya Jammeh is and empty barrel rolling down the hill where there is nothing to stop him from hitting the bottom of the hill. Please let him make noise on his way down.
Correction. YAHYA JAMMEH is empty barrel.
….Control the Gambia? What percentage of the military is Jola, Mandinka, Fullani, Wolof, Serere, Aku or Creole, Manjako?
This is a very disturbing headline. I am urging the editor (s) to remove this headline or the content in toto. Please, refer Adama Barrow as Gambian President; not a Mandinka. You guys aren't helping at all. I am a Mandinka myself and I am not pleased with the insults Yaya Jammeh rained on Mandinkas, but this is not a good way to present a news headline. | {

Akhmed and the Atomic Matzo Balls: An uproarious, imaginative, rather disgusting, quite enjoyable page-turner
Posted on February 23, 2012 by Bookworm
One of my rules of thumb when reading a book, or watching a movie for that matter, is that I have to like at least some of the characters in the book. Since I'm investing my time in the book or the movie, I want to be in the company of pleasant people. After all, outside of the entertainment world, I don't willingly want to spend time in the company of people who disgust me.
I discovered over the past couple of days, though, that there is an exception to this rule, and that exception is Gary Buslik's Akhmed and the Atomic Matzo Balls: A Novel of International Intrigue, Pork-Crazed Termites, and Motherhood . Akhmed and the Atomic Matzo Balls is peopled by some of the most unpleasant, malevolent, and stupid characters you can imagine — but it's so clever and funny that I, the reader, was delighted to follow their complicated, self-serving, insane machinations.
I'm actually not quite sure how to describe the book without diluting the pleasure you'll get should you decide to read it. The book's own description doesn't do it justice, but I'll offer it for what it's worth:
Iranian president Akhmed teams up with the leaders of Venezuela and Cuba and their American intelligence agents to smuggle radioactive matzo balls into Miami Beach. But intelligence being as slippery a concept to these nincompoops as chicken fat on linoleum, when each member of the gang decides to ladle out his own personal nuke soup, holy terror Akhmed is left steaming. Will his plan to destroy America float like a fly or sink like a lead dumpling?
Star-crossed lovers, conniving academics, and blustery social climbers collide with ravenous termites, international do-badders, and multi-level marketing in a plot as fast-paced and hilarious as a runaway mountain bus. Radioactivity has never been so much fun.
Those bland paragraphs leave out the delights of seeing the inside workings of the mind of a far-Left academic, keeping up with the Iranian president's manic dancing, watching the Venezuelan dictator dream of mass-marketing schemes, and generally following a serpentine plot that moves effortlessly from Iran, to Cuba, to Haiti, and to the high seas, with stopovers in Chicago, New York and Miami Beach.
One of the things I liked best about the book is that Gary Buslik loves words. His prose is rich and vivid. He also recognizes when people, rather than loving words, abuse them for obfuscation and self-aggrandizement. My favorite character — and, incidentally, the most unpleasant character in the book — is the pompous Prof. Les Fenwich. Buslik has clearly been studying the Leftist academic mind very closely. Watching Les giving himself permission to order Kobe dish at an expensive restaurant is a rare pleasure:
Unlike the Delmonico, this Kobe meat sat well with Les's conscience. Kobe was Japanese beef, from Japanese cows that had been fed only the finest grains, never force-fed, never rushed to market. True, at a gazillion dollars a pound . . . the meat did seem a bit pricey, but didn't we owe them that? Didn't we racistly and cruelly intern Japanese-Americans at the start of World War II? Didn't we murder, maim, and genetically deform thousands of their civilians — the elderly, women, children, handicapped — by dropping atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki — vile, unnecessary, barbarous acts whose only true motive was a show of force that would ensure the supremacy of the American military-industrial complex?
And on and on, until Les concludes that it's his patriotic duty as an America-hater to order Kobe beef. But really, how could Les think otherwise? As his former lover remembers him, he is a completely hypnotic speaker, if you like bombastic, unintelligible prose:
His long, complex sentences, stitched with discursive subordinate clauses, phrase slathered upon phrase, digression after digression, turned on themselves in eddying pools, only to eventually emerge into grammatical Valhalla — the syntactical equivalent of rapids rushing over a waterfall before settling into a placid alpine lake. She adored the way he used compound adjectives, convoluted modifiers that precariously dangled, metaphysical tropes, and Latinate roots with Anglo-Saxon appendages.
(Right now, I'm trying to convince myself that I am a better and less pompous writer and speaker than Prof. Les Fenwich.)
When Mr. Buslik offered to send me a copy of his book, I game him my usual shtick: If I like it, I'll review it; if I don't like, no matter the reason, it will never see the light of day at my blog. I definitely do like this book, and am happy to recommend it to you. One warning, though: there are a lot of swear words, as well as some sexual and scatological references and comments. Also, a lot of the images (especially those revolving around the pork-crazed termites) are disgusting in a dark humor way. I don't normally like those features in a book either, so it says a lot about this rich satire that I enjoyed the book, not just despite this occasional crudeness, but because of it.
Akhmed and the Atomic Meatballs, Gary Buslik

Pope Brings English Church to Heel
By Richard Palmer
It's hard to think of a more complete victory in the Vatican's long-running battle with the English Catholic Church. To fully understand the magnitude of this victory, please bear with me while we go over some history first.
Catholic officials in Rome have long been frustrated by England's liberal Catholic bishops.
One of the biggest reasons for this is the liberals' refusal to follow Rome's strict line on homosexuality. Archbishop of Westminster Vincent Nichols, the senior Catholic leader in England, has consistently given the impression that the Catholic Church supported homosexuals forming marriage-like unions in the form of civil partnerships. In approving homosexual partnerships, Nichols has been accused of defying Vatican guidelines.
But perhaps more brazenly, Nichols has consistently supported the Soho Masses. These masses deliberately cater to homosexual Catholics—again prompting accusations that Nichols and the English bishops are defying the Vatican. The Catholic Herald's Dr. William Oddie called the issue "the most potentially inflammatory source of division between Rome and Westminster."
Last year, Gerhard Ludwig Müller was appointed prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. Formerly known as prefect of the Supreme Sacred Congregation of the Roman and Universal Inquisition, this role is the Vatican's enforcer. And one of Müller's top goals was, reportedly, to end the Soho Masses.
A German magazine, Katholisches Magazin für Kirche und Kultur, wrote that Müller "intends, very firmly, to address the problem of the Mass."
The other big bone of contention between the Vatican and the English bishops has been the bishops' unenthusiastic welcome for Anglicans defecting to Rome.
Pope Benedict XVI personally orchestrated the creation of a personal ordinariate, to allow defecting Anglicans to retain their traditions. He even donated a quarter of a million dollars toward its upkeep.
But the English bishops have refused to support it. They've given the ordinariate no buildings to hold its own church services in. The last thing the English Catholics want is for the Church of England's most conservative members and priests to cross over into the Catholic Church. That's not to say that England's Catholics are liberal. But the bishops are, and they don't want Anglican conservatives.
Many Catholic commentators believe that Nichols's defiance over these issues is the reason he is still Archbishop Nichols, not Cardinal Nichols—a promotion he traditionally would have received by now.
With all that in mind, now appreciate the magnitude of the English church's January 2 announcement.
The Soho Masses will be shut down, and the building they were held in will be given to the Anglican Ordinariate.
The Vatican suddenly got its way on the two issues that have frustrated it for years. The Soho Masses are gone, and, for the first time, Anglicans returning to Rome will be able to worship in their own church building, all with one stroke. It's hard to think of a better sign that the Vatican is now getting its way in England.
If the change translates into a more welcoming attitude toward the ex-Anglican Catholics, many more may cross over into the Catholic Church.
Just a few days earlier, in his Christmas Eve message, Nichols strongly condemned the government's plan to introduce same-sex "marriage"—bringing himself back in line with the Vatican.
This all shows the progress the Vatican has made in reasserting control over the more liberal areas of the church. As we've point out before, the pope is cementing his control over the church. With England brought to heel, this process seems almost over.
With unity imposed on the church, it will be ready for its new public role. The Trumpet has long forecast that the Catholic Church will rise in power. Now that the dissenters have been defeated, it's ready for this rise.
For more information on the role the Catholic Church will soon play in world events, read our article "Europe: The Next Chapter."

1. My first time ever waiting in line at midnight for a book! It was so exciting to sign up for these books and go and wait for them to be released with all the Pott-Heads!
2. After receiving the new Harry Potter books, they would never leave my side. I would literally have it attached to me at all times until I was finished with reading it 2 times through!
3. Getting 85% through Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince when Dumbledore was killed and I was seriously stunned! I put the book down and didn't read the ending for over 2 weeks. TRAUMATIZED!
4. Reading with books on tape- I have always been obsessed with reading and when no one would read to me as a child, I would go to my huge collection of books that came with cassette tapes (yes, yes this was A LONG time ago). I loved those tapes and even after I could read I would spend hours listening to them anyway.
5. Starting my blog- Ok so not truly a book memory, but my blog is bookish so I think it counts. Starting my blog has been so fun and time-consuming, and awesome! I love the blogging community and all you guys!
6. Meeting Sarah Dessen & Siobhan Vivian last month! It was SO awesome to meet S.D. because she was the main reason I came back to YA. After I read Just Listen, I knew where my true book interests were. It was also super-cool and surprising to meet Siobhan Vivian there! I didn't know she was doing the intro and there she was! I got to talk to her afterward and she is SO freaking nice!! She's definitely one of my new favs!
7. Reading Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson- this book changed my life. I can't even explain how, but I was this one person before I read it... and I was changed afterwards. Definitely one of the most powerful YA books of all-time, IMO.
8. The Shining by Stephen King- ok so long story... I got this copy of The Shining and I'm not even sure where, but there's something weird about it. I've moved quite a bit in the last 10 years and every time I move my books go into boxes and these boxes end up who knows where... well 2 separate times I've gone looking for books and ended up finding The Shining and when I picked it up pictures fell out. Pictures of little kids that I have never seen before. And no one I know has ever seen these kids before. One time it was white kids and another time it was black kids. I currently don't know where the book is, but I'm scared to find it again... where did these pictures come from? I still don't know.
9. Going to the library in Virginia when I went to visit my aunt every summer and getting TONS of Fear Street by R.L. Stine. My library at home had no Fear Street, so when I visited her I had 2 glorious weeks to read as many as I could get through!
Well that's all I got for this week... what were your best bookish memories??
Leave me your link and I'll check it out!
I've never read any Sarah Dessen but you're the second blogger to list meeting her as a top bookish memory so maybe I'll have to take a look. Also, cutest polka dot sweater ever.
Yes she's pretty awesome! And thank you!
I TOTALLY had those Disney tapes too! Fantastic list. I was wondering how the SD event went. I read an article on Publisher's Weekly about it, and it sounded amazing. (I just got approved for the galley on NetGalley and I about died. As soon as I get through the others I've download, I'm reading it. So excited!) I'm glad you enjoyed it! I'm so jealous. She needs to come to my area!
Ahhh I didn't know it was on NetGalley... just requested it and keeping my fingers crossed!!!!
I used to love my read-along with the tape books, although I used to get my mum to read them anyway - kinda defeated the point, but hey!
We have a bunch of books in common! So weird about the Shining!!!! Your books on tape are soooo retro and very cool! And, I am totally there with you on the Harry Potter midnight releases! I need more bookish memories like that! Great list!
My library had all the Fear Street books (I lived in a small town) and pretty much all of the 'YA' 'horror' but I didn't really like any of them. But because of lack of other reading material I ended up reading some anyway. Mostly I just skipped to adult though.
All those tape books you showed us, YES! As a kid we always got lots of books on tape and I LOVED them! I don't see how they kept those things around though. My children would have them ruined in one day.
You are so lucky you met SD and SV! I love them both!
Hello!! I found your blog through Project Fairy Tale, I love the polka dots! I HAD to comment on this post...the info about The Shining...? SCARIEST THING EVER. I can't believe it! I don't know if I would keep the book or get rid of it to be honest! Have you looked through to try and find more pictures? LOL! I can't get over it!
Hi!! Thanks for visiting me :) I *think* the book is in the attic above my garage right now, but I'm not ready to go looking for it yet. My husband says if he finds it he's throwing it out bc he's convinced it is the devil LOL. It is pretty freaky to find pictures of people you don't know in your house and espec. in a book as scary as The Shining (and on 2 separate occasions). | {

Alternate versions of the cues from Piano Works (Zim6). Most of the orchestral strings have been replaced by guitars and pads for a more updated pop/rock sound. Several of the pieces have a "sounds like" quality to them, covering bands like Coldplay and U2. | {

This magnetron (part number WB27X11211) is for microwaves. Magnetron WB27X11211 produces the microwaves that cook the food inside the microwave oven. Because high-voltage capacitors in a microwave can retain a lethal electrical charge even when the microwave is unplugged, a service technician should install this part. | {

This page explains what are skills and how field skills and buddy skills work.
Each character has two kind of skills, field skill and buddy skill. The effects of those skills vary from boosting attack to restoring health.
Field skills are valid when a character is within other characters' range ( the range of field skill shows up as a blue line. As the once character is closer to the another, the effect of field skill become significant.
Blue lines with white letters indicates the field skills of nearby allies, and red lines with red letters shows the field skills of enemies.
Characters have the another skill. The buddy skill let a back row character help a front row character. For example, Haku ( Frozen Heart ) boosts Sakon ( Sakon of the West Gate )'s critical rate by 2× in screenshots below. | {

Shopping for a mortgage loan? We will be glad to help! Call us at (310) 373-7406. Ready to get started? Apply Here.
Making consistent extra payments on your principal yields enormous savings. People make this happen in a few ways. Making 1 additional payment one time a year is probably the easiest to track. However, many people will not be able to swing this huge extra expense, so dividing an additional payment into 12 extra monthly payments works as well. Another very popular option is to pay a half payment every two weeks. The effect here is that you make one extra monthly payment each year. Each option yields different results, but each will significantly shorten the duration of your mortgage and lower your total interest paid.
It may not be possible for you to pay extra every month or even every year. But it's important to note that most mortgage contracts will allow you to make additional payments at any time. You can benefit from this rule to pay down your mortgage principal when you get some extra money.
If, for example, you receive a surprise windfall four years into your mortgage, you could pay this windfall toward your mortgage loan principal, which would result in enormous savings and a shorter payback period. For most loans, even this relatively small amount, paid early in the loan period, could offer huge savings in interest and in the length of the loan.
At Riviera Funding, we answer questions about money-saving strategies almost every day. Call us at (310) 373-7406. | {

SROA Capital Partnership Opens West Palm Beach, FL, Self-Storage Facility
TAGS: Mixed Use Investing and Real Estate News
Update 6/15/18 – The joint venture between SROA, Live Oak and MacArthur has opened its Storage Rentals of America facility on Congress Avenue. The final design comprises 105,000 square feet and 742 climate-controlled storage units. The first-floor retail space is currently available for lease, according to a press release.
The group celebrated the grand opening with a ribbon-cutting ceremony attended by West Palm Beach Mayor Jeri Muoio and members of the local chamber of commerce.
"Demand for new self-storage facilities has been fueled by a growing and increasingly mobile population, multi-family development and a resilient U.S. economy," Macfarland said.
"We see continued growth in the industry," said Steve Tedder, principal of Live Oak. "This well-designed, highly visible facility addresses the unmet needs of local residents and businesses."
The property is SROA's 11th in Florida, with several more projects in the company's pipeline, the release stated.
4/28/17 – A partnership led by SROA Capital LLC, an equity investor focused on the self-storage industry and operator of the Storage Rentals of America brand, has started construction on a three-story, mixed-use storage project at 1620 N. Congress Ave. in West Palm Beach, Fla. The project is a joint venture with real estate developers Live Oak Capital Partners and MacArthur Holdings LLC, operating under the name North Congress Storage LLC. The facility will comprise 100,000 square feet in 830 climate-controlled units and 1,200 rentable square feet of ground-floor retail space. It's expected to open during the first quarter of 2018, according to a source.
The facility will include LED lighting and motion sensors for energy efficiency, and 24-hour video cameras for security. The 2-acred property is across the street from the Palm Beach Outlet Mall, near the intersection of Interstate 95 and Palm Beach Lakes Boulevard. SROA Capital purchased the land in 2016 for $1.33 million, a source reported.
"We are excited to be investing locally and working with our city and county officials and surrounding neighborhoods to build a beautifully designed property that fits the storage needs of local residents and businesses," Benjamin S. Macfarland III, CEO of SROA Capital, said in a press release.
The ground-breaking comes on the heels of the acquisition of three South Carolina properties by SROA, which will be converted to self-storage. The assets are in Columbia, Myrtle Beach and Simpsonville, the release stated.
Founded in 2012, Live Oak Capital Partners focuses primarily on "niche property types and off-market" opportunities. It has investment interests in self-storage, industrial, manufactured-housing and office properties.
MacArthur Holdings LLC is a real estate owner and developer primarily in New York City. Its portfolio includes hotel, multi-family, office and retail projects. It also owns commercial and industrial properties in southern New Hampshire and has multi-family investments in Delaware, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, the release stated.
Based in West Palm Beach, SROA Capital is a real estate investment company focused on the acquisition of self-storage properties as well as direct-equity investments with developers and operators. It manages 59 properties in five states. The company recently changed its name from Elite Stor Capital Partners LLC to better align with the Storage Rentals of America brand name.

On first reading of The Sun on Sunday's article today about Rangers' player contracts, I wanted to take my customary swipe at the traditional media. On reflection, congratulations are in order.
I am no fan of the Murdoch press, but let us acknowledge a job well done. This story is a quantum leap forward from what has passed as "traditional" reporting in Scotland in recent years. While the Daily Record still seems content to rely upon agenda driven scraps from the table of the Rangers old-guard- the same people who got the club in this mess- The Sun appears to have put in an honest day's work.
This would have required some genuine investigation and they confirmed their interpretation by consulting with no less than three experts. While sports reporters have vacillated between claiming that tax issues are too complicated to discuss and then spouting comically inaccurate nonsense, The Sun has found a solution that might yet start a revolution: they asked for comments from people who understand the subject! Rather incredibly, I even agree with the article's general findings. (You could have read much the same here in March of last year, but The Sun has published evidence). It was the absence of reports like this one, about the most important story in Scottish football history, that inspired this blog. So 'better late than never' and a sincere chapeau!
The timing of this story is also good. Much of the discussion recently has focused on the issue of whether Rangers' players had letters saying that loans from the EBT did not need to be repaid. While interesting, and sure to become a topic for discussion once the First Tier Tribunal returns with its findings, it is a bit of a red herring.
The central issue in this case is whether the money received by Rangers' employees from the EBT were "emoluments". Cutting through the legalese, this basically means that the key question to be determined at the FTT is: did Rangers' employees receive wages through the EBT that were not properly taxed? Obviously, evidence that the loans were not real loans would blow any pretence that EBT use was legitimate out of the water. If there was also direct evidence that Rangers' staff were receiving payments that were promised in an employment contract, then it would be very difficult to make an argument that these payments are not emoluments.
Yet, make an argument that they are not wages is what Andrew Thornhill QC has been very well paid to do. In some uncharacteristically well informed posts on the Follow Follow messageboard, I noticed the appearance of the "substance over form" argument as a way of trying to explain away any damaging documentation. Without getting steeped in a comprehensive legal and accounting discussion, "substance over form" is a concept that tries to look through complicated legal contrivances in financial transactions and look only at the meat of the issue: where were we are the start and at the end. It seeks to just "look-through" any special purpose entities or legal trickery designed to complicate matters. How is this relevant? The poster on Follow Follow, is trying to make the point: it does not matter if Rangers have created this blizzard of paperwork all but admitting that they have perpetrated a scam, the "reality" is that the players currently still owe the trust. Therefore, the withdrawals from the EBTs are not emoluments.
This argument has a certain superficial charm. However, the issue with "substance over form" is that it is not for Mr Thornhill QC (or Rangers) to determine what the start and end points of the transaction are. Such a line of reasoning would be effectively asking the tribunal to start and stop at mid-points in the process and to ignore the real substance- that Rangers' employees received payments from their employer that were not taxed.
So I would agree with the Follow Follow poster. The form of how they were paid (through a trust) should be ignored, especially if there is a mountain of documentary evidence supporting the notion that the substance is that employees' wages were not taxed. (If there is a lot more evidence like that presented by The Sun, then Rangers' case would look to be very weak indeed). Of course, if I was a skilled lawyer and one of my instructions was to slow down proceedings to delay an outcome, I would need to find an argument of some sort. An argument that allows me to ask the tribunal to go through the all of the evidence meticulously would be very useful indeed.
Looking to the future, Rangers' fans need to take a realistic and dry-eyed look at the sort of people who will be running their club in whatever form it takes. The signs are not good that the lessons of the past have been learned.
Arsenal Shares: Previous Board Alerted Whyte
Reports that Craig Whyte has been "asset stripping" and selling off Rangers' heirlooms have understandably angered many fans.
However, painting Craig Whyte as the devil incarnate on this issue might be a little hasty. It appears that members of the old board actually suggested to Whyte that these shares could be sold for cash.
Rangers' April 2011 Financial Report (prepared on 18 May for Whyte just after the takeover) contained the following:
It is understandable that every weapon in the armoury is being deployed to get Whyte out, but it is also clear that truth and context might be casualties in this war. From the tone and positioning in the report, these shares were suggested to Whyte as a source of cash. No other "family silver" is listed.
Had Whyte's takeover of the club not happened would Rangers have sold their Arsenal shares anyway? The issue of concern for Rangers fans should not be the sale of the Arsenal shares themselves, but rather what has happened to the proceeds. However, simply accusing Whyte of misappropriating £188k would carry legal risks and might seem trivial compared with recent accusations. The emotional appeal of the sixteen shares gifted to the club in 1910 is a much more potent weapon.
Public relations at its murky best!
Rangers' PR Still Peddling Disinformation

Keeping up fan morale has never been more important at Ibrox. If Rangers simply run out of cash to keep the lights on, the administrators will have no choice but to liquidate the club. While the administration process means that Rangers have great leeway with regards which bills they pay, it is vital for the club that cash continues to come in. Therefore, we need to view all statements emanating from Edmiston Drive as being designed to achieve that goal.
We have heard some strange-sounding statements from the administrators, but it is the story circulating that the tax case has not gone well for HMRC that I found interesting. Scotland on Sunday reported this week that this blog "claimed the 'smoking gun' for HMRC was a number of letters indemnifying players from any future tax liabilities on money placed in their EBTs". I have said no such thing. I did say: "I can only hope for Rangers' sake that they were not so stupid as to provide written guarantees for players saying that they did not need to repay these loans".
It was in fact Darrell King on Clyde Superscore Board who told us that Rangers players had two contracts and were given side letters telling them that loans did not need to be repaid. Darrell went further on 10 November, 2011 stating: "I saw the letters the players have got to state that they are not liable for any payments which were part of their contract". (More recently, Darrell denied actually seeing the letters).
Regardless, a "key witness" at the tribunal reports that no such side letters existed. That would be fantastic news for Rangers if it was true.
I can only assume that the story from this "key witness" is being pushed to keep fan morale up during these difficult days. It may also be a last-ditch effort to try to get anyone in possession of the facts to make a mistake and disclose evidence presented to the First Tier Tribunal (FTT).
Let us look objectively at this "source". The Scotland on Sunday report stated: "The source, who is not connected to Rangers but had clients who benefited from EBTs". This is a key witness? Someone who did not participate in the EBT personally? Someone who is not connected to Rangers? Given the long list of players and executives who participated in the EBT scheme, this is the best witness available to refute Darrell King's claims?
If this person was indeed a witness at the tribunal, he will have been called as a witness by Rangers. He will have been initially examined by Rangers' counsel, cross-examined by HMRC's lawyer, and then possibly re-examined by Rangers' counsel again. Then he will have been made to leave the hearing. He would not know anything about what evidence was presented other than his own.
Of course, nothing in life is absolute. This blog never said that defeat for Rangers in the tax case is 100% guaranteed, but I believe that the evidence is overwhelmingly against the club. We are close to the end of this process and it is probably best that those with an interest in learning the facts remain patient and simply wait for the FTT result. The significance of this case is no longer in dispute, and there is little need to bang the drum for more publicity for Rangers' difficulties. After all this time, we can wait a little while longer for the final outcome.
Just in case some of you do not follow my Twitter account (imaginatively named: @rangerstaxcase), I realised yesterday that I had made a mistake. A few days ago, I tweeted, and posted, that two (2) additional directors of Rangers FC had benefited from the Employee Benefit Trust (EBT) scam that so gravely imperils one of Scotland's great institutions. This statement followed Craig Whyte's interview with The Sun newspaper where he named ex-Chairman John McClelland and ex-Chief Executive Martin Bain as having participated in the scheme.
My statement was issued in error. A more accurate statement would be to say: "At least two (2) additional directors of Rangers FC used the EBT scam that makes insolvency virtually inevitable". (I hope that my statement did not cause any inconvenience to anyone).
This is important because as company directors they had a responsibility to check that the correct amount of tax, VAT, and National Insurance contributions were paid- and on time. Company directors are required to act in good faith– in the interests of the company as a whole. This includes not having (or declaring) conflicts of interest. Rangers' accounts for the periods covering EBT use do not mention any directors declaring a conflict of interest. (It is possible that they have declared this in non-public board meeting minutes, but shareholders would not have been aware of this). Their obligation to avoid, where possible, conflicts of interest would have been best served by simply not having any personal benefit from Rangers' tax strategy. Sticking their own snouts in the trough rendered them "conflicted". How can you assess the suitability of a high risk tax strategy for a company, when you have a personal incentive (and believed at the time, no personal liability)? Not a single Rangers director is known to have resigned over the issue of tax strategy.
Sir David Murray is beloved by many former employees and associates. He is renowned for his personal generosity to those who do right by him. The question that must be asked: Did David Murray effectively buy off Rangers' directors opposition by allowing them to participate in the scam?
On other matters, I have been deluged for weeks with questions about "the wee tax case"- has the bill for £2.8m been cleared?, the status of Rangers' failure to keep up with PAYE & NIC remittances, and the nature of my claim that the club had fallen behind on VAT payments. All that I can safely say just now is that all of these matters are intertwined. To explain more on the complexities of the situation just now would be to get too deeply involved in some delicate issues. It is best that I just leave this subject alone for now. However, rest assured that these topics have not been forgotten by any of the interested parties.
A victim of our own success
In the last week, we have seen the final stage of the mainstreaming of the Rangerstaxcase story. With factional in-fighting among current and former executives of Rangers FC spilling onto the front pages of our tabloid press, even the most sceptical football fan will now understand that Rangers face a crisis that threatens their very existence. That much is a cause for some satisfaction. After ignoring this story for the best part of a year and a half, the mainstream media appear to be roused from their stupor. It would be difficult for anyone to deny with a straight face the role this blog has had in forcing the uncomfortable truth into the open.
However, the comments section of this blog has simply become unmanageable. With over 2,500 replies posted in a matter of five days, I do not have time to read them all. I have been struggling for a few months to contain potentially defamatory posts, but the numbers are simply overwhelming now. While I have had many kind offers to help share the burden, there are practical reasons for not taking them up.
I will try to provide a way to allow those who have built this site into something wonderful to continue posting their views, but I do not see the utility in this site becoming a general Celtic-based messageboard. There are many excellent sites catering to this need already. It has never been my goal to ever be in competition with any of them.
It was perhaps inevitable that with the explosion of interest in this subject that the nature and quality of comments would change. At the risk of being seen to be elitist, it was the group of people who contributed content and analysis in the early months who made this site special. So I plan on providing a means to allow them to continue posting. (Bear with me as I experiment with settings).
This would appear to be the best way to avoid the repetition and dilution of content. With fewer contributors, the 'Old Guard' and approved posters will find it easier to maintain a running theme. There will be a chance for the analysis and fact-finding that made this site popular can be retained.
Additionally, it would be important to provide a place for fans of all other Scottish clubs, especially Rangers supporters, who wish to engage in factual and/or informed speculation about events that are unfolding. Thus far, Rangers-based sites have blindly chosen positions without much analysis. Anyone wishing to engage in reasoned and informed discussion would be welcome to provide input, regardless of opinion.
I mean no criticism of those who see Rangers' troubles as a source of amusement. There are simply lots of other places more suited to that type of comment. I am sure that keeping this blog as a staid and 'rooted-in-fact' environment will reduce its popularity. However, if we can revive the original spirit of the blog this will be a price worth paying.
Edit: I am going to allow the old comment rules to continue for a while.
As for the most recent wave of insolvency rumours, I can confirm that Rangers had instructed their legal advisors to prepare for a possible filing at the end of the transfer window. However, I chose to sit on this story as it was likely to be misinterpreted. There are many tactical reasons why a company might want the option of filing on a given date, but might later choose to not go ahead. There are many factors that would affect Whyte's decision to file- and the simple truth is that we do not have access to enough information to make any statement about a date when receivership or administration would become his best option. Whyte could file tomorrow or several months from now. The exact date does not matter too much. All sides will have had ample time to prepare their positions and refine their strategies. The only certain outcome is that the country's top law firms are going to be busy.
What we do know is that Scotland's biggest football club is facing the biggest crisis in its 140-year history. We have also seen the opening salvos in the battle to pick up the pieces of a post-liquidation Rangers. Most significantly, we have helped launch and shape the debate on how Scottish football would deal with a post-liquidation Rangers. We have called out the 'presumptive close' being attempted by those who have a vested in interest in a newco-Rangers recovering rapidly.
The case for thwarting all notion of sporting integrity and parachuting a newco-RFC back into the Scottish Premier League has not been made. Despite what Hugh Keevins might say, as observed by a couple of our regular posters, it seems that the only surviving SPL club that would face a significant reduction in revenue related to the loss of Rangers from the SPL would be Celtic. For every other club, there is a chance that the thousands who migrate towards Ibrox from towns across Scotland every other Saturday might show an interest in their local team. There would be a realistic hope of winning trophies. Those who do not wish to discuss a newco-Rangers earning its place in the top flight fairly, do not want to investigate the opportunities that may exist in re-ordering the game either.
This would all be easier to understand if we were watching top quality football being played by young Scotsmen in an atmosphere of optimism. However, Scottish football has fallen progressively further and further behind the top-flight standards in the last 25 years. The idea that it is worth taking a chance on remaking our game is one worth at least some discussion.
Time-horizon is also a factor being ignored by the radio talking heads. While Celtic would undoubtedly face a dip in revenues in the short-run, a more competitive league in the future could see stands filled once again across this football mad nation. Even Celtic could see increased ticket sales and TV revenues in ten years time if 3-4 clubs were in a tight battle for the SPL title. If the men running the SFA lack the imagination to see the chance presented, then they need to be replaced. We should not forget about the risk of cynicism. If it is clear that a newco-Rangers will be nursed back to health by hook or by crook for short-term financial reasons, there will be little point in watching Scottish football thereafter. Why bother? There would not even be a pretence of fair competition. Is the financial risk of helping a newco-Rangers being considered?
A newco-Rangers that earns its place in the Scottish Premier League by promotion through the lower leagues will spare its fans the permanent 'mark of Cain' that would accompany not winning its place. A club that works its way up through the lower divisions could rebuild its record with pride and know that it deserves respect. | {

Context: Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) is superior to office blood pressure (OBP) in predicting hypertension control/outcome. Despite the growing burden of hypertension in Africa, ABPM use remains rudimentary.
Aims: To report our initial ABPM experience in Nigeria.
Setting and Design: Ongoing prospective descriptive study, involving consecutive recruitment of consenting patients' ≥18 years, presenting at DOCS Heart Centre Enugu Nigeria.
Methods: The study involved 78 hypertensive patients attending the clinic from May, 2013. OBP was taken in sitting position, using oscillometric BP device. Each patient was then monitored over 24 h with a Tonoport V (GE CS V6 71[21]), interpreted using GE CardiosoftTM ABPM software in accordance with British Medical Council guidelines.
Statistical Analysis: Data were analyzed using EPI Info (version 3.3.5). Continuous variables were expressed as means ± standard deviation. Differences between group means were tested using two-tailed Student's t-test. Proportions were reported as percentages and compared between groups with Chi-square.
Results: The study involved 78 adult hypertensive patients; mean age of the patients was 53 ± 13 years and body mass index 30.0 kg/m2, 53.8% were males. Control on OBP was 17.9%, on ABPM 24.4%. The mean 24-h BP was 144 ± 16/88 ± 10 mmHg; daytime BP, 146/90 ± 17/11 mmHg; night-time BP, 139/81 ± 17/9 mmHg; and waking BP 149/88 ± 20/14 mmHg. Borderline hypertension was seen in 4.5%, sustained hypertension in 36.4%, white coat hypertension in 13.6%, and nocturnal hypertension in 22.7%. The majority of patients had abnormal dipping pattern, with enormous BP load, 89.2% having a high load.
Conclusion: BP control was better represented by ABPM more than OBP in the patients; showing that to optimize management, greater use of ABPM is a more pragmatic approach to mitigate the adverse outcomes among hypertensive patients.

Nig J Cardiol [serial online] 2016 [cited 2023 Jan 30];13:33-8. Available from: https://www.nigjcardiol.org/text.asp?2016/13/1/33/173851
Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) such as hypertension is increasing in epidemic proportions in Africa, accounting for 22% of the total deaths in the region in 2000, with cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) causing 9.2% of the total deaths.[1] According to the WHO database on disease incidence, in Nigeria, the age-standardized death rate from CVDs (estimated at approximately 400 deaths/100,000) is more than that from HIV, respiratory infections, malaria, and tuberculosis.[2] African countries like Nigeria now face a "double burden" of both NCDs, which affects the affluent countries, and communicable (infectious) disease.[3]
Hypertension is one of the major risk factors for CVD, responsible for at least 45% of deaths due to heart disease and 51% of deaths due to stroke.[4] The number of people with hypertension worldwide rose from 600 million in 1980 to 1 billion in 2008, at which time approximately 40% of adults aged 25 and above had been diagnosed with hypertension.[4] In Nigeria, the incidence of hypertension is rising even faster. A nation-wide survey done in 1997 showed that 11.2% of adults in the country were hypertensive, but recent studies done in different parts of the country have shown prevalence rates that ranged from 28.8% to 36.6%.[5],[6] Hypertension is more common among urban Africans than among "truly rural dwellers." This may indicate that the rising prevalence of hypertension is due to the changing lifestyles, diet, and level of activity in urban Africa, which may be a true reflection of an epidemiological transition.[3],[7]
Improved control of hypertension is needed to reduce the public health burden of CVD in Nigeria, and better monitoring of blood pressure (BP) among patients with hypertension is one element of a program to improve control of this condition. Ambulatory BP monitoring (ABPM) is gaining prominence in clinical practice as a better tool for recording patient BP.[8],[9] There is overwhelming evidence of its superiority in predicting outcome in patients with hypertension compared to office BP (OBP).[10] The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence guidelines support the use of ABPM in all patients with a clinic BP of above 140/90 mmHg.[11] The United States Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services has approved reimbursement for ABPM for the identification of individuals with "white-coat hypertension." The large numbers of readings obtained with ABPM during patient daily activities provide information on BP variability, circadian changes, and the effects of environmental and emotional conditions on BP levels.[12] ABPM has also been documented to predict the risk of morbid events better than OBP.[13],[14]
Despite the increased interest in the role of ABPM in the current evaluation and management of hypertension globally, and the huge burden of hypertension in Africa, its use in most of Africa is still rudimentary. Increased use of ABPM could lead to better characterization of the burden of hypertension in Sub-Saharan African countries. In addition, improved management based on ABPM should lead to the prevention of complications of uncontrolled hypertension. This descriptive study is one of the first to assess the use of ABPM in the Nigerian setting.
The study was approved by the Ethics Committees of DOCS Heart Centre, Nigeria and Federal Teaching Hospital Abakaliki, Nigeria, and the participants gave informed written consent. It is part of a prospective ongoing data collection, started in May 2013. The study population consists of adults hypertensive 18 years and above referred to DOCS Heart Centre Enugu, Nigeria, who gave consent to be part of the study. Participants were consecutively recruited, demographic data, medical history, medications, smoking and alcohol history were collected from the electronic medical record. Height and weight were measured using a stadiometer, and body mass index (BMI) was calculated as weight (kg)/height (m) 2; patients were classified as overweight if BMI was 25 kg/m 2 to 29.5 kg/m 2, and obese if BMI ≥ 30 kg/m 2. OBP was measured in both arms with an oscillometric BP device, the GE Dinamap Procure 400 monitor (GE Medical systems information technologies Inc. Milwaukee Wisconsin, USA) while the patient was sitting. The arm with the higher reading was taken as the patients BP after an average of three readings. Systolic and diastolic (Phase V) BP were determined to the nearest 2 mmHg in accordance with European Society of Hypertension recommendation. Ambulatory BP was measured with the Tonoport V monitor (GE CS V67 [21]) for a minimum of 24 h, using a similar sized cuff as was used in the OBP measurement. Ambulatory monitors were checked monthly against a mercury manometer and deviation by > 4 mmHg warranted recalibration. The ABP monitor measured BP at 15-min intervals from 0600 h to 2200 h (representing daytime) and 30-min intervals from 2200 to 0600 h (representing night-time). Participants kept a diary card for the duration of the record to note bedtime and waking time to define day and night and to check the transition time. ABPM data were interpreted in accordance with British Heart Association guidelines.[15]
ABPM data processing was performed using the GE Cardiosoft ™. Ambulatory Blood Pressure software (PAR Medizintechnik GmbH Sachsendammb D-10829, Berlin, Germany). Management of data and statistical analysis were performed with EPI Info 3.5.3 (CDC, Atlanta, Georgia). Proportions were reported as percentages and compared between groups with Chi-square.
The study consist of 82 adult hypertensive patients, however, 78 patients had complete data for analysis. The mean age of the cohort was 53 ± 13 years, with 53.8% of subjects male. None of the patients were smokers, alcohol use was not significant, and only 1 patient was diabetic. The mean BMI of 30.0 kg/m 2 showed that a good percentage of the cohort was overweight. BP increased with age, and BP control was suboptimal as shown from the mean of both OBP 152 (21)/88 (10) mmHg and 24-h ABP 144 (16)/88 (10) mmHg [Table 1]. OBP measurement showed that 17.9% and 24-h ABPM showed that 24.4% of the cohort had controlled BP, respectively. The night-time BP was above the cut-off definition for nocturnal hypertension (NHTN) and many of the cohort showed a nondipping pattern, with reverse dipping also seen in some, and nondipping more common with advancing age [Table 2]. The systolic nondipping pattern was seen in 47.6% of males and 38.9% of female participants while diastolic nondipping was seen in 41.7% of females and 57.1% of males [Table 3]. In addition, 11.9% of females and 19.4% of males had diastolic reversed dipping.

Table 3: Classification of participants based on ABPM
There was sustained hypertension (SHTN) in 40.3% (47/78), nocturnal hypertension (NHTN) in 14.1% (8/78), so also was white coat hypertension, while masked hypertension was seen in 1.3% (1/78) [Figure 1]. The mean waking BP among patients with masked and SHTN, 147/99 mmHg and 153/99 mmHg, respectively, and when this was compared between those with SHTN and NHTN, it was 154 (20)/91 (14) mmHg and 140 (14)/90 (17) mmHg (P = 0.005), an increase of 14/1 mmHg.

The BP load i.e a percentage of BP above normal target showed that eight subjects (10.8%) had low BP load defined as <50% higher than threshold [Table 5].
Table 5: Blood pressure load
Comparing low BP load against controlled 24 h ABP, at 95% confidence interval, gave a Chi-square of 0.0612, and P value of 0.042.
This study is a descriptive study of ABPM conducted in Nigeria. The results showed that only 24.4% of patients had normal BP by ABPM compared to 17.9% based on OBP, suggesting that ABPM may be a more sensitive method for assessing BP control than OBP.
The use of ABPM is still not common in Nigeria and most of Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), though ABPM has been shown to be superior to OBP in prognostication of hypertension-related outcomes in several studies [Table 4].[16],[17] The findings from this study, though limited by the small sample size, show the increasing burden of hypertension among our patients, and re-emphasize the need for more routine use of ABPM to reveal the true perspective. It is hoped that future prospective studies with larger cohorts will make the picture clearer.
Table 4: Categorization of ambulatory BP of cohorts (SD)
Given that Blacks are more prone to hypertension-related complications than Whites,[18] with more harmful cardiac remodeling even in the early stages of hypertension,[19] ABPM will probably be very useful in the outpatient management of hypertension in the Nigerian population. However, in a previous study in South Africa, nurse-recorded auscultatory BP and ABPM were equivalent in predicting target organ changes in a randomly selected population sample (n = 458).[20] Our results may be different from this South African study because we used automated measurement rather than using auscultatory measurements of OBP.
As expected based on earlier studies using OBP, we found increasing BP with age among our patients using ABPM. While BP is known to increase with age, the reported high burden of end organ damage in African Blacks may also be a reflection of the common practice of African patients to present only at the onset of complications. This has been characterized as "lack of early, accurate diagnosis in economically depressed environments,"[21] and suggests that there may be a large potential benefit for improved screening for hypertension. If ABPM is confirmed to be more sensitive for the detection of clinically relevant hypertension in larger studies in Africa, it could play a role in screening, although it is relatively expensive for wide use in resource-limited settings.
NHTN was present in 22.7% of the cohort and worsened with age. It has been shown to be a better indicator of CVD target organ damage compared to OBP and daytime ambulatory BP [22] and worse in patients with obesity and increased waist circumference.[23] A good proportion of our cohort were overweight with average BMI of 29.9 (5.3) kg/m 2. A study comparing ABPM results in newly diagnosed African and European cohorts found that untreated Black hypertensive patients systematically present higher clinic and ABP values and a lower night-time BP fall than untreated White hypertensive patients for all spectra of age distribution.[24]
Another concerning result from this study is the abnormal dipping pattern, with systolic nondipping seen in 47.8% of the cohort, and noted to worsen with age. This is similar to findings in South Africa, where Black students had higher systolic and diastolic BP throughout the day, night and critical time periods compared with the Indian students.[25] BP load was higher in Black (40.8%) than in Indian participants (29.6%; P < 0.05) and there was less dipping at night. In another study comparing nocturnal BP in 22 South African Black patients with age, sex and daytime mean pressure-matched American Black and White patients, there was a smaller percentage reduction in mean BP at night in American Blacks compared with the other groups with the South African cohort having similar nocturnal BP as the white group.[26] These data suggest that the differences in diurnal BP between American Blacks and Whites do not represent a true racial difference, but may be environmental in origin. The absence of the normal decline of BP at night may place patients at an increased risk of CVD, especially with elderly patients. This has been identified as an early marker of microalbuminuria in diabetic patients.[27] An ABPM study of 235 individuals of East African descent in Seychelles showed that the capacity to excrete sodium during daytime is a significant determinant of nocturnal BP and dipping.[28]
As noted above, more of our patients had controlled BP by OBP compared with ABP (32.6% vs. 19.6%), suggesting that there may be an undiagnosed and therefore under-treated reservoir of hypertension that would benefit from a more thorough evaluation and more aggressive therapeutic approach. Such "masked hypertension" was first elaborated on by Pickering [29] and shown to predict patients with left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), stroke and other indices of the poor cardiovascular outcome.[30] The prevalence of masked hypertension from different studies analyzed in a meta-analysis varies between 8% and 48%, with risk factors including the use of alcohol, tobacco, and caffeine as well as physical inactivity.[31] In the Pressioni Arteriose Monitorate E Loro Associazioni population, patients with masked hypertension had a prevalence of LVH that was much greater than that of normotensive subjects.[32] It has been suggested that inappropriate target organ disease (i.e., inappropriate for OBP levels), therefore, should trigger suspicion of masked hypertension and motivate physicians to expose a susceptible patient to 24-h ABPM.
Another issue raised by this study is the early morning surge of BP which has been shown to be associated with CVD morbidity and mortality.[33] Although there are some conflicting data, a recent meta-analysis showed that an exaggerated increase in morning BP is associated with increased CVD risk.[34] Identifying a morning surge in BP is important since appropriate treatment to control BP throughout the early morning hours can reduce the associated risk.[31] The BP load was also noticed to be high, this concept was first described by White in who showed that BP load was a better predictor of cardiac target organ effects than the corresponding mean AB P values.[35]
BP is a very labile hemodynamic parameter, varying from heartbeat to heartbeat, from morning to evening, from winter to summer, from sleeping to waking, and from sitting to standing, such that making treatment decisions based on casual office reading is fraught with limitations. The results of this study contribute to the literature on 24-h ABPM as a better marker of CVD risk than OBP, and specifically suggest that ABPM has a role in African patients. If these results are confirmed in larger investigations among African patients, then ABPM may become a part of a more pragmatic approach to hypertension diagnosis and management in SSA. However, the use of ABPM in routine patient management must be carefully considered, as the potential benefits will have to be weighed against the expense in countries in need of overall health system strengthening.

Sunovion Pharmaceuticals Inc. and Cynapsus Therapeutics Inc. have announced that the companies have signed a definitive agreement under which Sunovion will acquire Cynapsus for US$40.50 per share in cash. The transaction has received unanimous approval by the Board of Directors of both companies and values Cynapsus at approximately US$624 million (or approximately CAN$820 million). The acquisition will be funded with cash on hand. The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2016 (third quarter of Sunovion's fiscal year). This agreement reflects Sunovion's global strategy to expand and diversify its portfolio in key therapeutic areas, including neurology.
Through this transaction, Sunovion would acquire Cynapsus' product candidate, APL-130277, which is designed to be a fast-acting, easy-to-use, on-demand treatment option for managing OFF episodes associated with Parkinson's disease (PD). "Parkinson's disease is a chronic, progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects more than four million people around the world, and there is a significant need for new options to treat the OFF episodes associated with it," said Nobuhiko Tamura, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Sunovion. "We believe that APL-130277 is a novel late-stage candidate with the potential to make a real difference for patients and their families."
"The acquisition of Cynapsus is well-aligned with Sunovion's focus on the innovative application of science and medicine to help people with serious medical conditions and complements our robust product pipeline," added Mr. Tamura. "We have high regard for the Cynapsus team and their work with the APL-130277 program." "With its leadership in therapies for central nervous system disorders and commercial experience specific to neurology, we believe Sunovion is best suited to advance APL-130277 in the United States and other key markets," said Anthony J. Giovinazzo, President and CEO, Cynapsus.
"This transaction culminates years of dedicated work by the Cynapsus team and represents significant value creation for our securityholders." The board of directors of Cynapsus, after consultation with its financial and legal advisors and based, in part, upon the unanimous recommendation of an independent special committee of the board of directors, has determined that the arrangement is in the best interest of Cynapsus and the consideration to be received by shareholders of Cynapsus is fair to such shareholders. The board of directors unanimously recommends that Cynapsus shareholders and warrant holders vote in favour of the transaction at a special meeting expected to be held on or about October 13, 2016.
The proposed sale of Cynapsus follows a full consideration of alternatives aimed at optimizing shareholder value for the company. "We believe that the proposed transaction with Sunovion results in the best outcome for our shareholders," said Rochelle Stenzler, chair of the board of Cynapsus. "The transaction with Sunovion represents a significant premium to the current share price and we are recommending that our shareholders and warrantholders vote in favour of the transaction." Pursuant to the terms of the definitive agreement, upon closing of the proposed transaction, shareholders of Cynapsus will receive US$40.50 per common share in cash, and holders of warrants and stock options will receive a cash payment equal to the difference between US$40.50 and the exercise price of such warrant or stock option.
The offer of US$40.50 per common share in cash represents a premium of 123 percent based on the volume weighted average closing price of Cynapsus' common shares on the NASDAQ Global Market for the last twenty trading days. The companies expect to close the transaction following required security holder, court and regulatory approvals and satisfaction of certain other customary closing conditions. The transaction will be completed by way of a plan of arrangement under the Canada Business Corporations Act. The arrangement will require approval of at least two-thirds of the votes cast by Cynapsus shareholders and warrantholders voting together as a single class at a special meeting of such securityholders of Cynapsus.
Voting and Support Agreements in support of the transaction have been signed by all directors and officers of Cynapsus and the company's largest shareholder representing in the aggregate, approximately 18.33 percent of the Cynapsus securities entitled to vote to approve the transaction. Full details of the transaction will be included in the management information circular to be filed with the applicable securities regulatory authorities and mailed to Cynapsus shareholders and warrant holders within approximately two weeks. Assuming receipt of all required regulatory approvals, the parties expect to close the arrangement in the fourth quarter of 2016.

Brent Mendenhall's uncanny resemblance to President George W. Bush was first recognized in the mid 90's by some friends in Dallas. Brent began doing the impersonation as a funny, non-professional imitation for friends and family, and eventually graduated to Leno's Tonight Show and beyond. Brent brought his act to national prominence in much the same way President Bush told Sam Donaldson he pursued the Texas Ranger deal - " Like a pit bull on the pant leg of opportunity!"
The Missouri native had been a construction and marketing executive since his graduation from the University of Missouri in 1971. During this time, Brent was active in local community theater, as a civic group toastmaster and as a construction industry business speaker. A career as a Presidential look-alike followed.
Brent's and the President's lives have had several parallels through the years. This definitely helps Brent with the understanding of the Bush character he portrays. For instance, both of them grew up in politically active families with a strong mother running a household consisting of several boys and one girl. Baseball was their favorite sport. Both received business degrees and were more involved with fraternity and campus activities than they were the books. After graduation, both pursued business interests similar to their fathers and joined the Methodist Church. Both married in their thirties, and coincidentally, they each cut back on their partying in the mid eighties. Both have two children. Ambos hablan Espanol, no el mejor. Mr. Bush bought the Texas Rangers and subsequently became Governor of Texas and President of the United States. Mr. Mendenhall became an entertainer and humorous corporate speaker.
Brent strives to present a characterization that is humorous, intelligent and tailored to the client's gathering. He takes pride in providing clients with their full money's worth.
Brent Mendenhall as George W. Bush: Brent will entertain your guest with his uncanny impressions of our 43rd President of the United States, George W. Bush. He will discuss the highlights of "his" presidency while in the White House.
Brent Mendenhall's uncanny resemblance to George W. Bush was first recognized in the mid 90's by some friends in Dallas. Brent began doing the impersonation as a funny, non-professional imitation for friends and family. When Governor Bush was elected President, Brent decided to become a Presidential impersonator.
Before 2001, the Missouri native had been a construction and marketing executive following his graduation from the University of Missouri in 1971. During this time, Brent was active in local community theater, as a civic group toastmaster and as a construction industry business speaker. He left his previous career to become a full time performer and entertainer.

Mr. Bush bought the Texas Rangers and subsequently became Governor of Texas and President of the United States. Mr. Mendenhall became an entertainer and humorous corporate speaker.
Brent has had nearly 400 paid appearances as George W. Bush and has appeared in 40 states and 10 foreign countries. He has appeared regularly on national TV shows and has been in several domestic and foreign movies.
Also, he has worked for numerous prestigious corporations and organizations with a live "Presidential" appearance. Brent strives to present a characterization that is humorous, corporate clean, bi-partisan and tailored to the client's gathering. Most appearances begin with a surprise entrance with Secret Service and Hail to the Chief music followed by a 20 to 25 minute speech. A meet and greet with souvenir photos generally follows.
Brent is a professional entertainer and speaker who takes pride in making sure each client is given a memorable and enjoyable performance. | {

None has been darker than this one, number 19, The Winds of Change. Downsides of Bank Digital Currencies This brings me to my third area—the potential downsides of digital currency.

The ending of the story was aweful, I dont know if the person that did it was caught and punished or if the other person got caught for the crimes he was doing. For their help throughout the war, the African colonies wanted to receive rewards in the form of political and economical opportunity. Her biological father is involved in a pedophilia ring which is revealed when a little girl is shot in the streets of London, and on it goes. Whereas energy storage is often a key component of hybrid systems for tugs, ferries and offshore supply vessels, there is an understandable hesitancy in the tugboat sector to incorporate them following incidents several years ago involving overcharged batteries catching fire.
For example, the fear of Soviet penetration into Africa and the Cold War politics was an international concern that helped initiate the dismantling of the British Empire. There was an extended backlash against the speech from the of the , who wished that Britain retain its possessions. For the disturbing subject, it's good because this particular group of children is freed. Arizona would be the first land-grant institution to open a veterinary college since Mississippi State University in 1977. These include the death of his wife natural causes and the abduction of his young stepdaughter. Hopefully that clears up any confusion about why I chose the user picture.
This one circles around really yucky stuff: pedophilia. I may even re-read some of these, and I never do that. Jury is involved in solving the killing of a five-year old girl who was also raped. Documentation of the telemedicine encounter should be readily available upon request by the client. Second, the Senate battle for party control remains too close to call.
In the case of Martha Grimes, the guilty party is all but revealed from the beginning, so it is questionable as to whether there can be a spoiler to a whodunnit so pat and obvious that it is not really a whodunit at all. In this new world, we meet anywhere, any time. Jury investigates the shooting death of a young girl outside a house in London. But as commerce moved to ships, like those that passed through Singapore, and covered increasingly greater distances, carrying coins became expensive, risky, and cumbersome. Grimes made as the basis for the mystery. All in good fun until the truth begins to seep in. | {

La competició de vela de 0 a ½ tona va ser una de les proves de vela dels Jocs Olímpics de París de 1900. Aquesta fou la categoria més lleugera de totes les disputades en aquestes olimpíades. Es van disputar dues curses, i ambdues han estat reconegudes pel Comitè Olímpic Internacional. La primera de les curses es disputà el 22 de maig de 1900 i la segona el 24 de maig. Hi van participar 12 mariners repartits en 7 vaixells, tots francesos.

GAO Reports on BOP's Solitary Confinement
In 1884, Samuel Clemens published the most important American novel ever written--Huckleberry Finn. Yet in 2013, prison officials refuse to allow it inside the libraries. It's won every major writing award; writings by "Samuel Clemens" have been read by children and adults since the middle of the 1880's. So... what? The book was published two decades after the Emancipation Proclamation and the end of the Civil War. Twain took on the problem of Jim Crow laws, designed to limit the power of blacks in the South. Which states routinely ban this marvelous book? Yep. One prison official actually said it would never appear in his prison because it uses the word "nigger." Well, I'm sure that word never echoes in the unit's hallways and would be an amazing new vocabulary word there, right? Or might it just be that seeing the word, and recognizing the first-ever bi-racial friendship described in magnificent literature, is somehow still a threat?

Abstract The purpose of this study was to identify parent perceptions of written and verbal communication methods used between home and school concerning student academic progress, social behavior, school policies, school activities, and school curriculum. Through the use of a parent interview schedule, parents indicated the written and verbal methods and frequencies of communication they received and preferred to receive from their child's school. In addition, parents indicated the methods and topics of communication they originated with their child's school. The sample of elementary parents from the Kearney Public Schools, Kearney, Nebraska was selected through a stratified-random sampling technique. The following conclusions were drawn based on the findings of this study. (1) Parents perceived the school as doing a good job communicating about academic progress and social behavior. Suggestions for improvement included the use of more written comments from teachers and greater use of the telephone as a means of communication. (2) Parents perceived the schools as doing a good job communicating through written methods about school policies and activities. Monthly newsletters, in addition to handbooks, were perceived as preferred methods for communicating about school activities and policies. Verbal methods were perceived to be unnecessary in the communication of school policies and activities. (3) Parents perceived the schools as doing an average job when communicating about the school curriculum. Increased written communication in this area was desired by the parents. (4) Parent-initiated communications were perceived by parents as positive and primarily concerned with academic progress. (5) Parents perceived existing standards of communications as necessary and indicated that supplemental methods at more frequent intervals would be desirable in all areas with the exception of verbal communication concerning school policies and activities. | {

A little bit of history was made at the final Lunch of the 2018/19 season with the presence, as guest speaker, of the first woman President of the SRU, Dee Bradbury. It was also the first time that 2 SRU Presidents were guests at a Lunch as former president, Alan Lawson, was present too. Dee was most welcome in her own right but even more so when introduced a special companion she had brought along …. the Calcutta Cup! Many GROGs went home that afternoon with photographic evidence of holding the famous trophy. Dee feels she had moved into the office of President at a truly exciting time for Scottish rugby. In saying that, she was surely influenced by the excitement of the recent incredible Calcutta Cup match where she had watched her son, Magnus, help Scotland retain the trophy with his own magnificent try for which she received a congratulatory hug and kiss from the SRU Patron, The Princess Royal, something, she was sure, Alan Lawson would never have experienced. She praised the uniting effect of rugby in all strands of society and reaffirmed her commitment, as President of the SRU, to maintain and encourage that spirit. She also praised the flair and attacking style of the national team which had resulted in 14 consecutive sell-out home international matches. The pinnacle of the current season was, she said, that glorious 6 try comeback against England at Twickenham allowing Scotland to retain the Calcutta Cup standing, resplendent, before a roomful of happy GROGs. Something Dee is particularly proud of is the way Scottish rugby has developed into an inclusive sport, available to all whether they have grown up steeped in the rugby tradition or have never been near a rugby ball or pitch. She exemplified this by describing a trip to Nagasaki for a group of boys from disadvantaged areas of Scotland, organised by the SRU. The trip was a resounding success. In the words of one of the mentors, Al Kellock, they "went away as boys and came back men". After a lively Q & A session, Dee was presented with the last bottle of GROGS whisky of the season and wished every success by the Chairman for her second year as SRU President. | {

Global Flexible Organic Light Emitting Diode Market
Flexible Organic Light Emitting Diode Market Size Worth USD 99.72 Billion in 2030
Rapid growth of smartphone industry and increasing need to reduce thickness of display are some key factors driving market revenue growth
Market Size – USD 4.48 Billion in 2021, Market Growth – at a CAGR of 41.2%, Market Trends – Increasing need for fast response time to the user
Vancouver, B.C., April 08, 2022 - The global flexible Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) market size reached USD 4.48 Billion in 2021 and is expected to register a revenue CAGR of 41.2% during the forecast period, according to latest analysis by Emergen Research. Rapid growth of smartphone industry and increasing need to reduce thickness of display are expected to support market revenue growth between 2022 and 2030. Additionally, increasing need for fast response time to the user will drive revenue growth of market. Increasing development of material science and technology has led to development of several flexible display devices. Rising use of flexible OLED technology in e-papers, electronic posters and labels, smart devices, and televisions are expected to drive market revenue growth during the forecast period. Increasing urbanization and rising disposable incomes have also resulted in a rapid increase in adoption of high-end televisions, wearables, and smartphones. Furthermore, devices with flexible OLED takes less time in responding to users' need which is further boosting demand for flexible OLED. For instance, an OLED can theoretically have less than a 0.01-ms response time enabling a refresh rate of up to 100,000 Hz whereas LCDs are capable of between 1 and 16 ms response times leading to a refresh rate of 60 to 480 Hz. Moreover, flexible OLED also causes less eyes irritation as compared to other conventional displays. Increasing need for faster and more convenient experience combined with improved safety for users is expected to propel market revenue growth during the forecast period.
However, increasing susceptibility to wear and tear and rising risk of water damage is expected to hamper market revenue growth to some extent during the forecast period. When pressure is applied to thin film of the display, lowers its efficiency or brightness, and sometimes even results in breaking down devices which will hamper market revenue growth during the forecast period. Additionally, organic material in flexible OLED is prone to burn-in effect due to excessive usage, which results in degraded colors, as well as displays get easily damaged by water affecting lifespan of device which is also expected to hamper market revenue growth going ahead.
Active-Matrix OLED (AMOLED) segment is expected to account for a larger revenue share during the forecast period, owing to increasing need for better viewing angles and faster refresh rate for smoother interaction
Curved display segment is expected to register significantly rapid CAGR during the forecast period due to increasing need for wide field of view that causes less eye irritation
Smartphones segment is expected to register a substantially rapid revenue CAGR during the forecast period due to increasing need for better contrast ratio and improved brightness consistency
Consumer electronics segment is expected to lead in terms of revenue contribution to the global market over the forecast period due to increasing need for thinner, lighter, and more flexible devices, as well as improved image quality
Asia Pacific market is expected to account for largest revenue share during the forecast period due to robust presence of major market players providing flexible OLED such as Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd., Sony Group Corporation, LG Display Co. Ltd., BOE Technology Group Co. Ltd., AU Optronics Corporation, and Japan Display, Inc., among others in countries in the region
Major companies in the market report include Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd., Sony Group Corporation, Koninklijke Philips N.V., DuPont de Nemours, Inc., LG Display Co. Ltd., BOE Technology Group Co. Ltd., AU Optronics Corporation, Japan Display, Inc., OSRAM GmbH, and Pioneer Corporation

How logistics can unlock Mexico's automotive resurgence
The Mexican automotive industry has suffered badly from both Covid-19 and subsequent supply chain shortages, with new vehicle production, exports, and sales below pre-pandemic levels. But the sector is regaining momentum as manufacturers ramp up output and cross-border trade. The supply chain must now keep pace with the recovery despite ongoing capacity and delivery challenges.
Automotive Logistics and Supply Chain Mexico returns for the first time since the pandemic, reconnecting decision makers from OEMs, suppliers, government and logistics providers in Mexico City with the mission of developing more optimised, data-driven logistics and more resilient supply chains. That will keep Mexico competitive – and help manufacturers in the country to capitalise on a once-in-a-generation paradigm shift across the supply chain.
To succeed over the long run, Mexico must attract investment in new products and from companies across the automotive supply chain, especially in the context of digitalisation, electrification and changing trade terms under the US-Mexico-Canada Trade Agreement (USMCA). Efficient, reliable, safe, and high-speed logistics networks will be key to the country's automotive competitiveness. As the premier industry event ALSC Mexico is where stakeholders meet to discuss how to achieve that.
Bringing leaders back together in person at a critical time for the Mexican industry. Sessions will explore solutions for mitigating against ongoing logistics and supply disruptions in the post-Covid 'never normal'. Case studies will demonstrate how automotive manufacturers should work together with logistics providers to design the most efficient material flows, packaging equipment, shipping networks and export trade routes. And special workshops on ensuring security and quality delivery in Mexico, from using strategically located facilities to alternative transport modes along with opportunities to digitalise processes, automate information flow and use connected data to create more predictive supply chain planning across Mexico and North America.

Recovery in the new 'never normal'
Mexico's automotive industry has been hard hit by chip shortages and logistics disruptions. But now OEMs and suppliers are ramping up to regain lost output, with pressure on the supply chain to meet demand in the face of cost and capacity challenges in the 'never normal' post-Covid environment. The conference is about the supply, freight and planning strategies needed to build more resilient and predictive supply chains and keep Mexico's recovery on track.
Localising to compete
Global logistics bottlenecks have underlined risks across the supply chain, with automotive manufacturers in North America gaining lead time and sustainability advantages when they source within the region. If it can ensure supply chain resiliency, Mexico has a huge opportunity to localise more components and vehicles from current and new players, including as part of the USMCA trade agreement. The conference explores how the industry can ensure the logistics, border-crossing and trade efficacy OEMs and suppliers need to invest confidently in Mexico.
Optimising world-class networks
The Mexican automotive industry depends on reliable logistics networks to maintain just-in-time manufacturing and support high volumes of vehicle exports. To stay competitive, manufacturers need the most efficient material consolidation, packaging and transport mode engineering, and access to strong port, shipping and rail networks. Automotive Logistics and Supply Chain Mexico brings together the logistics experts, infrastructure providers and government authorities needed to ensure Mexico's freight network and supply chain compete on the world stage.
Ensuring quality and security
Mexico faces unique environmental and security challenges that affect lead times, quality and costs. But proactive supply chain management can keep goods and people moving safely. ALSC Mexico shares case studies and best-in-class strategies for mitigating quality issues across inbound, storage and finished vehicle logistics, including assessing security hotspots, using alternative routes and adapting protective technology. Along with countermeasures, the conference aims to help the industry work together to ensure issues can be avoided altogether.
Digitalising logistics
While Mexico benefits from integration in the North American supply chain, there are opportunities to improve visibility, connectivity and automation. Sessions at ALSC Mexico showcase leading systems and strategies to digitalise logistics, including inventory and capacity planning, tracking parts and vehicles in real time, customs clearance and data analytics. Logistics digitalisation will be at the heart of Mexico's automotive competitiveness.
Future supply chains, today
Mexico offers cost and lead time advantages, but will it provide manufacturers with the infrastructure, technology and talent base to invest in an electrified, sustainable future? With billions of dollars' worth of investment in EV and battery plants at stake, the Mexican industry needs to prepare its logistics network, systems, infrastructure and partnerships to meet changing requirements. Hear from OEMs, suppliers and officials on the country's plans for ramping up EV supply chains and achieving net carbon zero ambitions – all of which is needed to keep the Mexican automotive supply chain moving far into the future.

Modern day marketers are finding that not many tools can improve sales or capture leads better than pop-ups.
For any business, just having an opt-in pop-up can immediately increase their email opt-in, subscribers and leads.
If you are not optimising a pop-up, or worse not noticing a pop-up, it means users are leaving without any prompts or follow up. It's hard to fix a lead generation system that misses out on a large portion of potential customers.
It's a bit like inviting someone to your office and not talking to them!
However, opt-ins are a double-edged sword – We, the consumer, are getting wise to them and know that parting with our email address invites the marketing drip campaigns. Whether these campaigns are overly aggressive or just not relevant to us can be a huge turn off in terms of engagement.
Follow these four tips to ensure your pop-ups pique the interest of your users.
1- Your call to action (CTA) needs to be strong.
Requesting someone join a mailing list is not good enough. The point should be that the content is strong enough to entice the user and make them feel that they are receiving relevant content.
We all leave an exercise class wishing that we had the music on our playlist.
Now we do by entering our info into the pop-up.
It's original, it's enticing, and it's not a generic invite to a mail list. Think how you can apply this to your business.
49% of all the pop-ups offer a lead magnet like an ebook, free content, tools, templates, promotions, or discounts. Think about how you can utilize this for your business.
There is nothing worse than getting halfway through an article and being interrupted by a pop-up. It is this sort of activity that leads to "banner-blindness," so try to give your user 30-40 seconds on your website before hitting them with an offer.
36% of all brands use the word free on their banner. Be it free time or free access to premium content like an e-book.
Again there is a slight catch in that the "free" stuff needs to be good. If you are not Tim Ferris, it can be hard to delivery quality daily content to a growing list, so it is best to give some thought to what your free offer is.
Free consultation always works as it offers a prime opportunity to upsell.
This tactic really does work. A pop-up with a provocative question. Just look how a provocative statement like, "No Thanks, I prefer to pay full price for my clothing." effects email capture rate.
One thing I would recommend is that the message fits in with the brand reputation, so if the brand is bold and punchy then, by all means, go ahead. Entice your audience. It works!!

By Bob D'Angelo, Cox Media Group National Content Desk

Albert Pyun, a filmmaker whose work included cult favorites such as "Cyborg," "Nemesis" and "The Sword and the Sorcerer," died Saturday. He was 69.
Pyun's death was announced on social media by his wife, Cynthia Curnan, who said he died in Las Vegas.
"I sat with him for his last breath that sounded like he was releasing the weight of the world," Curnan wrote in a Facebook post.
Pyun had been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis and dementia a few years ago, several years ago, Variety reported.
Born May 19, 1953, in Hawaii, Pyun was raised as a military child, according to the website. During his four-decade career in film, Pyun's films included action stars such as Jean-Claude Van Damme, Christopher Lambert and Burt Reynolds, according to Variety. He also collaborated with Snoop Dogg, Charlie Sheen, Ice-T, Kris Kristofferson, James Coburn and Dennis Hopper.
Pyun launched his film career in 1982 with "The Sword and the Sorcerer," turning a project that had a $4 million budget into a commercial success that grossed $40 million at the box office.
During the 1990s, Pyun directed more than 20 feature films, Variety reported. They include the four-part Nemesis and the 1990 film, "Captain America."

Competition: Measured Drawing Prize
30 January, 2017 By Merlin Fulcher
The Georgian Group has launched an international contest for measured drawings with a top prize of £1,000 (Deadline: 30 June)
Open to artists and architects under 40, the competition seeks hand-drawn elevations, plans or sections showing the interior or exterior of Georgian-style buildings anywhere in the world.
Supported by the Traditional Architecture Group, a linked society of the RIBA, the award is being held to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the Georgian Group, which was set up in 1937 to protect historic buildings in England and Wales. The competition was last held in 2008 to celebrate the 60th birthday of Georgian Group patron the Prince of Wales.
The Prince of Wales viewing the 2008 winning entry, Bank of England by Fergus Devlin-Connolly
Hugh Petter, contest judge, Georgian Group vice-chair and a director at ADAM Architecture, said: 'Measured drawing is the traditional way in which architects learn from their forebears through close observation and recording of architectural form, proportion, materials and detail.
'Until relatively recently, measured drawing formed part of every architect's training, but today it is less commonly taught. This prize is an opportunity for students and young architects to develop their analytical and presentational measured drawings skills through the careful study of a Georgian building.'
Georgian architecture was the primary style between 1714 and 1830 during the reigns of George I, George II, George III, and George IV. The style followed on from the English Baroque works of Christopher Wren and Nicholas Hawksmoor and was characterised by its classical symmetry and proportions and restrained ornamentation.
The award aims to help rekindle the art of measured drawing and to promote the study, appreciation and understanding of Georgian architecture. Among the prize-winning submissions to the last contest was Chris Draper's drawing of Doric House in Bath and the overall winner was an illustration of the Bank of England by Fergus Devlin-Connolly.
The 2008 winner: Bank of England by Fergus Devlin-Connolly
Entrants may submit up to two drawings but all material must have been drafted after 1 January 2016. Drawings may focus on any Georgian-style building completed between 1660 and 1840 anywhere in the world.
Applications should include the artist's CV, a 150-word biography and a short 150-word statement about each art work. Drawings may be in pen or pencil and with colour, but may not be computer aided.
Judges include Georgian Group chair Christopher Boyle, vice-chair Petter, Traditional Architecture Group chair Alireza Sagharchi, Russell Taylor of Russell Taylor Architects, and John Wilton-Ely, a professor at the University of Hull.
The overall winner, to be announced at the 2017 Georgian Group Awards, will receive £1,000 and there will be a second prize of £500.
The deadline for entries is 5pm on 30 June.

Doric House by Chris Draper
2008 runner-up case study: Q&A with Chris Draper
The runner-up of the 2008 Measured Drawing Prize discussed lessons learned preparing his submission depicting Doric House in Bath, England
How did you set about producing your drawing?
I live just outside Bath so was spoilt for choice with subjects. I narrowed this choice by considering two critical elements: the building should have an interesting story and be uniquely Georgian; and second that it could realistically measured accurately without assistance. I spent a day walking around Bath and going through original drawings in the city museum. In the end I chose Doric House by the Joseph Gandy, best known for his visionary illustrations of John Soane's work. He only designed a couple of buildings, and this one from 1805 is by far the most interesting with its blind wall and imposing Doric order. I wrote to the owners to ask permission to measure their house but didn't get a reply so had to go ahead regardless. I spent a morning collecting data and taking photographs. Although I didn't want to use a ladder or anything I thought could be problematic, so concentrated on key dimensions such as the column module and stone block size, which I knew could be extrapolated to complete the elevation with a far degree of accuracy.
Which illustrative methods did you harness?
I wanted to show the quality of stone, depth of modelling and weathering of the facade, so I chose Watercolour as the medium. The rendering is 1:50 and painted on to smooth illustration board.
What advice would you have to participants hoping to win the latest prize?
Use this as an opportunity to explore a part of our built environment that ordinarily you may appreciate as 'historic context' but not study in its own right. Usually there is an underlying geometry that starts to reveal itself a bit like unravelling a puzzle that has been set by the architect. Geometry is part of the universal language of architecture and as relevant today as it was 200 years ago. You may well be surprised at its subtotal use and clarity it brings to a piece of architecture. Take notice of the choice of materials, how they have weathered and quality of construction. It's interesting to look at the context and how the building has adapted to the changes of subsequent periods. Doric House was built on to 20 years after completion, and suffered from bomb damage during the Second World War. These all add to the patina and quality of building. Use colour and include people for human scale. Overall I would use this as an opportunity to look and really observe a great piece of architecture and then communicate the unique qualities in your drawing.

A. General
Fumigation may be required should an infestation be found anywhere on the vessel.
It may be necessary to fumigate the cargo in the vessel's holds, either prior to or after loading, to prevent an infestation or deterioration of the cargo.
If fumigation of the cargo spaces and/or cargoes takes place, the Master is advised to strictly adhere to the IMO Recommendations on the Safe Use of Pesticides on Ships and the procedures under the vessel's SMS, which contain detailed advice on
regulations for the use of pesticides
first aid and special medical treatment emergency procedures
types of fumigants
methods of fumigation.
The Master should be aware that he/she has the absolute discretion as to
whether or not a vessel or cargo is to be fumigated
the manner in which the fumigation is performed
whether or not to permit in transit fumigation.
Prior to any fumigation being carried out, which the Master is best advised to leave to professional personnel from ashore, large warning signs must be displayed in prominent places clearly indicating that the vessel is under fumigation and toxic gases are in use.
A gangway guard should be maintained to prevent access to the vessel whilst under fumigation.
B. Fumigation using ventilation in port
Fumigation of cargo spaces using ventilation should always be carried out in port and the vessel should not be permitted to leave without a gas-free certificate. The crew should
be landed ashore prior to the commencement of fumigation
only be allowed to return after authorised personnel have issued a gas-free certificate.
A gangway guard should be maintained during the fumigation to prevent access to the vessel whilst under fumigation.
C. Fumigation in transit
For details please refer to Gard News 173, In-transit fumigation of bulk cargoes.
Wherever possible, the Master should try to avoid fumigation in transit as this may pose an unnecessary threat to the crew's health.
Fumigation in transit is at the sole discretion of the Master. The Master should consult the flag State administration regarding any regulatory requirements as well as the IMO Recommendations on the Safe Use of Pesticides in Ships and the Code of Safe Practice for Solid Bulk Cargoes (BC Code). Section 3, Safety of Personnel and Ship and Section 6, Grain under in transit Fumigation, contain detailed advice as to the methods of fumigation and any safety precautions to be taken.
Prior to arrival in a port the Master should notify the harbour master and any other appropriate authorities that fumigation of the cargo has taken place in transit. The Master should ensure that the vessel's holds and its cargo are gas free upon berthing of the vessel. The entry into enclosed spaces procedures must be followed – please see section 2.8.5.8 Entry into enclosed spaces. | {

if a room already in gamestate and a player join the game , every actor will appaer but all have the same owner.
Hi @nkcreativedl, for now we don't support a later player join, but it is a task on our internal roadmap.
Is it possible to create such a feature using the local unity code? I tried writing my own add player call, but it caused internal errors where it tried to call functions but they didn't work.
Hi @Xelnath, current implemenation of TrueSync's internal lockstep manager doesn't allow that, we need all players already connected to manage its inputs and sync the game correctly between all of them. A late join requires a more complex effort to make the game simulation feels exatcly equals for the old players and the new player joining.
Is there another package which support this?
Hi @Xelnath, I don't remember one now if it exists, sorry about it.
I have same issues, my game starts with a single player but the other players can join the same room later.
The states of all the player are getting synched properly but the enemies that are being created by the master as instantiatedsceneobjects are not getting synch. Only the enemies that are created within the presence of player are visible other pre-created enemies are not on scene.
Hi @squattingMonkeys, unfortunately TrueSync doesn't support a later player joining the simulation, you must have all players connected before start to run the game.
Then can I make AI players when starting game? | {

As we are aware that overseas student who intend to study in the UK must apply for entry clearance under point based system of the Immigration Rules. The most relevant category available to them is commonly known as Tier 4 (General) student migrant or Tier 4 (Child) student migrant. To gain entry clearance or a visa as Tier 4 (General) Student, an applicant must score 30 points for Certificate of Approval of Studies (CAS Letter) under Appendix A and 10 points for maintenance under Appendix C of Immigration Rules. If the Applicant meets the requirements, an entry clearance in granted. If the applicant does not meet the requirements, the application is refused.
Apart from above, an applicant also need to prove that his intention to follow a course of study in the UK is genuine which is known as "Genuineness test". If an entry clearance officer believes that an applicant is not a genuine student, an application can still be refused under paragraph 245ZV(k) of the Immigration Rules even though the applicant meets the requirements mentioned above. Paragraph 245ZV(k) states that, "To qualify for entry clearance as a student the Entry Clearance Officer (ECO) must be satisfied that the applicant is a genuine student".
If an application is refused, an applicant is given a right to submit a request for Administrative Review under paragraph 34VA of the Immigration Rules with reference to paragraph AR2.7 and AR2.11 of Appendix AR– Administrative Review because the decision not to request specified documents, applying immigration rules incorrectly or failure to apply relevant published policy and guidance in relation to the application was incorrect resulting in being a case working error on part of the decision maker.
Paragraph 2.4 of the said guidance states that, "In assessing whether the applicant is a genuine student, ECOs must take into account all the evidence available from the application and from the interview. If, having reviewed the application, they have one or more reasonable doubts that the applicant is a genuine student and an interview has been conducted, ECOs should take into account all the following factors insofar as they are relevant, and any other relevant matters before deciding whether they consider, based on their expertise in assessing entry clearance applications and the evidence available to them (including any omissions in such evidence), that the applicant meets the requirement of paragraph 245ZV(k)".
The guidance further list down factors that an Entry Clearance Officer must consider before refusing the said application under paragraph 245ZV(k). The relevant list could be seen from paragraph 4 (i) to (v) of the guidance. Although the said guidance was withdrawn recently on 03rd January 2018, there may be clear majority of overseas students who may still benefit from the above guidance if they believe that their application was refused by Entry Clearance Officer incorrectly prior to 03rd January 2018 when the above guidance was in force.
The purpose of this article is to raise awareness for applicants who intended to study at a recognised Tier 4 sponsor in the UK, but their application was refused under paragraph 245ZV(k). In this situation, they can contact their Tier 4 sponsor to ask if their offer to study the course is still valid and can submit a request for Administrative Review with in 28 days from the receipt of the decision, provided that the decision was made prior to 03rd January 2018. Alternatively, they can challenge the decision in a Judicial Review within 3 months from the date of decision.
If you wish to make a visa application, or if your application has been refused, please feel free to book a consultation at this link.

Erebus Motorsport has now ticked off two of its four bogey circuits this season, says David Reynolds, as the Holden squad chases a maiden Supercars championship.
After two seasons developing their package, Reynolds and Erebus have come out firing in 2018, recording at least one top-six qualifying and race result at all four events to date.
The mix of speed and consistency means Reynolds is second and the top Holden runner in the standings, 60 points behind Scott McLaughlin.
Phillip Island showed the newfound strength of the Erebus team as, after starting and finishing sixth on Saturday, Reynolds leant on team-mate Anton De Pasquale.
Utilising De Pasquale's set-up, the Penrite entry vaulted to second in both ARMOR ALL Qualifying and the race, which he led in the early stages of the final stint.
Although Reynolds was also on the podium in the corresponding race last year, that was one of tyre conservation amid a spate of failures.
Until this year, Reynolds had counted the Island as one of four danger tracks for himself and the team.
The first test had come in Adelaide's season opener, where he finished second on the Sunday after a "lack of self-belief" meant victory slipped from his grasp.
Nominating Phillip Island, Barbagallo and Queensland Raceway as his other weak circuits, Reynolds says the bogey tracks are "probably a bit of car and a bit of me".
"Every year we probably still circle the same tracks," he explained.
"But we're just trying to put a bit more focus in there and come up with some better ideas and then use our rookie days to try them, and up the front we go.
"I don't dread going to Phillip Island, I just worry about performance.
"Last year we finished third, but that was kind of a weird weekend. From sheer pace, [we were] probably not [fast enough], to be honest.
"Phillip Island, Perth and Queensland Raceway are probably - if we had to circle a weak spot from the last couple of years - that'd be it.
Reynolds finished 16th in the championship in his first season with Erebus in 2016, before winning Bathurst on the way to seventh last year.
Only once has he finished better than seventh – Reynolds' third place in his final season with the now Tickford Racing-branded squad in 2015.
Reynolds had been in title contention until the penultimate round that year, winning two races despite the distraction of uncertainty around his future.
Asked if he takes any lessons out of his 2015 campaign, Reynolds said: "I'm always thinking about it .
"I didn't give it a serious enough go at the start [of 2015] and that's why I'm different this year. | {

"Up to My Ears in Miserable, Quote, Unquote 'Art'": The Monitor by Titus Andronicus, Ten Years On
April 16, 2020 rosslangager Leave a comment Go to comments
Rock and roll is dead. Musicians will continue to play classic songs of the genre, and even continue to form bands, craft songs and albums, chase the rock star dream. Heck, before a global pandemic made live concerts one stunning impossibility among many, they remained a hugely popular draw for income-starved rock groups. But gradually at first and then practically all at once, the rockists watched as their favoured musical genre and privileged subculture, so long held up as the bastian of artistic authenticity in the shallow midst of popular music's frantic swirl of the pursuit of the new, vanished up the tightened sphincter of its own self-importance as that self-importance ceased to be backed up by vindicating mass appeal. Be it due to ephemeral changing trends or imperceptible shifts in culture or changes in digital music-making technology and delivery methods and mass media engagement, rock sunk back into the muck of subgenre fragmentation, all while new forms of pop and urban music dominated the mainstream charts and static radio, and the hyper-polished corporate monster of modern country music captured rock's former bread-and-butter demographic of working-class conservative whites. The kids don't care about rock music anymore. It's been some time since they did, and there isn't much to suggest that this might turn around anytime soon.
This was only slightly less true a decade ago in March of 2010, when a ragged New Jersey-formed indie-rock group named Titus Andronicus released their second album, The Monitor. It was at the tail-end of the indie wave of the 2000s, and the torch of authenticity and immediacy that indie-rock had kept burning as a rock subgenre hadn't yet flickered out, despite many principals of the indie world slipping into the skins of major-label radio and touring juggernauts. The Monitor might have been the final flare-up of that guttering flame. It's fiery, aggressive, righteously bombastic, slamming together punk's confrontational energy and blunt directness with the reaching, operatic ambition of album-era classic rock; it's so steeped in terms of authenticity and immediacy that it's almost painful to look in the face at times, when it isn't thumbing its nose at the very idea of living with any integrity in a debased, defaced, disgraced, and destroyed reality. This wasn't rock's last hurrah, and despite the album's expansive ambition, the band would hardly have so swelled a sense of vitality to claim to have crafted the creative capstone of one of the most important cultural movements of the past century. But it was a creative opus steeped in history as much as in the present, in the continuity of helpless stasis and the eternality of boundless ennui. In terms of the album-centric conception of rock's defining long-play masterpieces, it's hard to think of another album since The Monitor that approaches the heights of achievement of the genre's classics.
Flipping past the ghostly 19th-century photograph on the album cover, long-dead men in uniform leaning in momentary cool leisure as if posing for a historical-proxy band portrait, The Monitor's opening moments are indelibly striking. It's an excerpt from Abraham Lincoln's 1838 Lyceum address, one of the future President's first published speeches and an early highlight in his remarkable career as a political orator. Read in voiceover by poet and teacher Okey Canfield Chenoweth, it's a title-page epigram in aural form, a thesis statement for the glorious, rambling, epic journey to come:
From whence shall we expect the approach of danger? Shall some transatlantic giant step the earth and crush us at a blow? Never! All the armies of Europe and Asia could not, by force, take a drink from the Ohio River or set a track on the Blue Ridge in the trial of a thousand years. If destruction be our lot, we ourselves must be it's author and finisher. As a nation of free men, we will live forever, or die by suicide.
Lincoln referred to the United States of America as a nation that cannot be conquered from without but can destroy itself from within via its own internal contradictions. For Lincoln in 1838 as well as until his death, the most forceful and dangerous of those self-destructive contradictions was always slavery. Endemic compromises and half-measures to address the deep divisions between white and black, slave and slaveowner, free state and slave state, North and South would continue for over a decade after Lincoln uttered these words in Springfield, Illinois, until in the early days of his Presidency, the American Civil War would break out over the slavery issue's political instransigence. Intractable semi-solutions and politically-engineered gridlock would do no longer in 1861; slavery would live on or it would die with suddenness, and either way this resolution of last resort would cost the lives of hundreds of thousands of Americans. Freedom not only ain't free, it's practically unaffordable.
The Monitor was the brainchild of Titus Andronicus singer, guitarist, and lyricist Patrick Stickles, the band's primary figure and rock-poet cynical savant. It's a record of his personal turmoil, doubts and grievances (the band's debut album was entitled The Airing of Grievances, after a line in Seinfeld's iconic "Festivus" episode), as well as a stealth break-up album. But it was also inspired by Ken Burns' seminal multi-hour PBS documentary The Civil War, which for all of its flaws and foibles (centering of neo-Confederate Lost Cause historical perspectives chief among them) remains the most powerful and widely-consumed history of America's "Second Revolution". As Ryan Leas details in his 10-year retrospective essay on the album for Stereogum a month ago, Stickles plucked the fascinating but utterly non-decisive sideline battle between two ironclads (half-submerged steel gunships, clumsy and dangerous proto-submarines) for both the album's title (the USS Monitor was the Union ironclad warship that slugged it out with the Confederate USS Merrimack) and for the album's core theme of being mired hopelessly in any number of intractable stalemates whose rare victories are entirely pyrrhic: in politics, in economics, in the culture war, in relationships, in psychological equilibrium, in extracting even a shred of meaning from human existence.
The Civil War is notoriously the war that never really ended; the battlefield conflicts over the preferred American system of social and economic inequality merely moved into the political and cultural spheres, where they endure, unresolved and unresolvable, to today, pre-determining divisive partisanship and crippling attempts at legislative problem-solving and social understanding. The fundamental polarity of this long American civil conflict, absolutely key to understanding the history of rock music, is evoked directly by Stickles in The Monitor's roiling centerpiece "Four Score and Seven" (again, a Lincoln quotation, from his most famous speech, the Gettysburg Address), which segues from slow, quiet laments for shaken moral equilibrium to furious recriminations before settling into a seemingly endless wailed refrain: "It's still us against them", only chased by an anguished primal scream admission of "And they're winning" and a final neutron-bomb explosion of a rock and roll instrumental coda.
The thing about this refrain and its dispiriting endcap is that in context of The Monitor as a whole, Stickles could have equally sung the line as "And we're winning" and, whatever the absolutely literal implication of those words, it would have come across as no more or less triumphant or deflating (the album's second song, the richly sarcastically-titled "Titus Andronicus Forever", consists almost entirely of the related, repeated refrain, "The enemy is everywhere" over blasting power chords, while its second-to-last companion track "…And Ever" repeats the structure over rollicking ragtime piano). One imagines that Stickles, ever-cognizant of the looming legacy of rock history, could very well have recorded or performed differing versions of the song, the identity of the likely victors swapping each time in the lyric sheet in reflection of his attitudes and opinions of the metastatic moment, like John Lennon repeatedly flipping the script concerning violent rebellion against injustice in "Revolution". The Monitor is a long-form tone poem about the negation of hope and the freedom of disillusionment, and it lands on either side of the line between optimism and despair multiple times within the space of the record, even in the space of a song or a single line.
It's in the quasi-literary permanence of Stickles' dominant pose as a relentlessly self-aware romantic fatalist that The Monitor overmasters the pretentions of finding thematic and emotional common ground between the deadliest war in American history and a mid-20s indie rocker's navel-gazing crisis of meaning and conscience and belonging. Following the opening Lincoln quotation from Okey Canfield Chenoweth (identifed by Leas as Stickles' high school teacher, although I couldn't find that info anywhere else so we'll have to take his word for it), the band launches into "A More Perfect Union" (a phrase from the preamble of the U.S. Constitution, made current in 2008 as a title of an important campaign speech by the most self-constructedly Lincolnesque of Abraham Lincoln's political heirs, Barack Obama), an unlikely punky rave-up shout-along anthem that self-consciously draws from a well of proletarian authenticity so popular in rock history as to now be shallow and dry: being from New Jersey. As if aware of the long, fraught tail of New Jersey experience being purposed as shorthand for poetically elevated suffering, Stickles fires directly at the state's grandest artistic avatar's most potent expression of struggle and wanderlust: "Tramps like us / Baby, we were born to die" comes the scraping cry from Stickles's vocal cords, a parodic reference to Bruce Springsteen's enormous shot-across-the-bow anthem "Born to Run". The import is clear: whatever the Boss told you 35 years ago, now there's nowhere left to run.
Structured in movements like a classical composition in the manner of all of The Monitor's longer songs (all but two of the ten tracks top five minutes, and five songs stretch past the magical 7-minute mark of notoriously-lengthy rock hits like "MacArthur Park" and "Hey Jude"), "A More Perfect Union" shifts through more apparently confessional lyrics in its middle section (Leas notes that Stickles had moved to the Boston area for a relationship that did not last, snapping into focus the rootless push-and-pull between his native New Jersey and "the lights of the Fenway" with a "cruel New England winter"). Then, like a supremely improbable blood-red sunrise, an uncannily familiar lead-guitar melody lines segues into an utterly rousing adapted-lyrics singalong of "Battle Cry of Freedom", a popular and enduring Civil War ballad written to extoll Unionism but also adapted for Confederates, which then turns into another Civil War song, "Battle Hymn of the Republic", with Stickles plucking the tune's original lyrics about the martyred radical abolitionist John Brown alongside the "Glory, glory, hallelujah" chorus. It's a stunning composition when pulled apart or just when listened to without digging further, with layers of musical history from modern times and the Civil War era combining with the personal psychological explorations of rock poetry.
The rest of The Monitor is not as singularly arresting as either "A More Perfect Union" or "Four Score and Seven" are as individual compositions, but the boozy, lurching rock-opera singalongs deepen the themes of trapped, cynical alienation with unlikely flashes of inspiration and redemption, all knit together by further voiced-over quotations from Lincoln, Walt Whitman, Jefferson Davis, and William Lloyd Garrison read by Chenoweth as well as the band's indie-rock colleagues: Craig Finn of the Hold Steady, Cassie Ramone of Vivian Girls, and Nolen Strals of Double Dagger. "No Future Part Three: Escape from No Future" closes with the most unlikely affirmational refrain imaginable: "You will always be a loser" ("and that's okay", growls Stickles as the scorching guitars begin to fade). The gauntlet is dropped on wordy, super-extended titles, a mainstay of indie-rock (think Sufjan Stevens) and fine art (think J.M.W. Turner) alike: "Richard II or Extraordinary Popular Dimensions and the Madness of Crowds (Responsible Hate Anthem)" is the longest, and ties together the titular Shakespeare nod with more Civil War references and a head-spinning lyric that adapts a catchphrase from the old Scooby Doo cartoons into a moment of imagined accountability for explotative rich and powerful warmongers.
"A Pot in Which to Piss" commences with Ramone quoting Jefferson Davis about accepting the crowd's plaudits during his inagural address as President of the Confederate States of America while having premonitions of "thorns and troubles innumerable" in the coming armed struggle with the North, and personalizes those thorns and troubles with images of bullying, abuse, and sore criticism. This is the song most illustrative of Stickles' deceptively elegant balancing of smothering pessimism ("Nothing means anything anymore / Everything is less than zero"; "You've never been a virgin, kid / You were fucked from the start") and bruised but unbowed determined resistance ("There's a white flag / In my pocket / Never to be unfurled"). This forever-contradictory dichotomy is summarized succinctly in the song's (maybe the album's) most incredible line (in an album full of incredible lines) of ambiguous implication: "I'm at the end my rope / I feel like swinging", exasperated, anguished finality culminating in death, liberty, or some macabre and philosophically broad combination of both.
"Theme from Cheers" demolishes the sitcom-derived romanticization of alcoholism, a raise-your-glass drinking song about the depressing, regretful loop of raising your glass to drink. "To Old Friends and New" is the album's most sustainedly pretty and moving moment, a classic-rock, lighters-aloft piano ballad duet with Jenn Wasner of Wye Oak that is (mostly) sincere and heartfelt about keeping it together through hard times, if often subversively so, in Stickles' standard mode ("We can build a nice life together / If we don't kill each other first"; "The reasons for living are seldom and few"). "It's all right / the way that you live" is this song's grand singalong finale, and it feels for all the world like a secular benediction, the understanding and sympathetic utterance of a wise holy man. It's little wonder that The Monitor inspires such devotion and deep identification from its appreciative fans, a powerful investment that Stickles has struggled to live up to with further Titus Andronicus albums over the past decade (which have admittedly produced a certified banger or two).
The Monitor arrives at the promised destination of its core historical touchstone with the 14-minute closing epic "The Battle of Hampton Roads", the name of the naval battle between the Monitor and the Merrimack in 1862. The historical battle took place over two days, and it feels like the song named after it stretches on for that long as well. Titus Andronicus is hardly everyone's cup of tea musically speaking, their punk-ish aesthetic clashing with standard assessments of aesthetic beauty in quite purposeful ways, and grinding through loud, dirty guitars, deep-thud drums, and Stickles' favouring of tonsil-shredding wails and growls over more standardly pleasing pop singing over the extended periods of time that their longer songs take up can be a chore for the uninitiated or the disinclined. Add in a 2-minute (absolutely epic) bagpipe solo and you're unquestionably going to turn some people off. But if you can get through it, "The Battle of Hampton Roads" is every bit the grandiose conclusion that an album of The Monitor's massive but never overwhelming ambition deserves. Stickles' words, sung with exquisite self-loathing, are a panoply of struggles against depression and sadness and moral judgement and defeat and cultural indoctrination and crippling, fatalistic irony. They also return with raw emotional devastation to the Boston heartbreak that partly inspired the album and came up obliquely in "A More Perfect Union", which is now the impetus for a pained litany of self-recriminations and predictions of substance-abuse coping mechanisms spat out as the narrator retreats to New Jersey in shame.
The confessions in the middle of "The Battle of Hampton Roads" are rockism in its purest distillation, grounded in the beknighted assurance that only with a guitar and a raw, vulnerable, imperfect voice can the deepest and most authentic truths of the artist's soul be communicated with the directness and power that they demand. In the same way, The Monitor is perhaps the last true rockist masterpiece, a loose concept record full of Big Ideas and penetrating themes connected across personal experience and cultural consciousness and political history, animated by ambitious, well-crafted, powerful music. It is, to quote Stickles in "Four Score and Seven", "miserable quote, unquote 'Art'", which he self-deprecatingly claims that he "struggle(s) and… stammer(s)" out of himself until he's "up to my ears" in it. Of course, rockism is, and always was, arrogant, entitled nonsense, no matter how fervently your younger self believed it was true (and mine certainly did). Rock music does not and never did hold a monopoly on authenticity or artistic truth, and the implication that it did is myopic and small-minded (and quite possibly racist and/or sexist to boot). Rock and roll did not die when its claims to ultimate authority were undermined by vanishing market share, and fundamentally equating commercial popularity with artistic importance (however occasionally the two overlap) is a fool's errand as well.
But The Monitor both embodies and overcomes these pitfalls and genre cliches. This essay on its meaning and importance from the retrospective distance of a decade makes it sound hopelessly portentous, but the truth is this record is a ball, a goddamned party. Its full-throated singalongs can be subversive and self-deprecating, but that renders them all the more cathartic. The skill and precision of the songs' construction and the hairpin turns of collective musicianship that allow for their execution is impressive but also bone-deep irresistible in indefinable ways, as only fine music can really be (its great indie-rock contemporary work from that year, The National's High Violet, functions in a similar way if not more so, with its more inscrutable lyrics and downbeat tone). It's immediate and persuasive art, above all, not at all dry or intellectualized, even if it is intellectual. And now, perhaps even more so than in 2010, The Monitor communicates something fundamental about America, about Americans, and about all people: destruction and danger comes not from without, to be deterred with walls and travel bans, but from within. Patrick Stickles embraces his unseen enemy in the final stanza of the album, calling it "my darling" and begging it, "Please don't ever leave". For all of its darkness and rage and cynicism, The Monitor is about self-care and improvement, about looking the demons that haunt us in the face and admitting that we let them in and can't count on anyone else to drive them out, so we best do it ourselves or else learn to live with them. This is applicable to personal psychology as much as to politics, culture and society: live forever, or die by suicide. There is fatalism to The Monitor, but in the end, there's hope and solidarity to be found in relentless defeat, and that's what shines through.

Colorado Police Search Landfill for Missing Woman's Remains
DENVER (AP) — Police are searching a Colorado landfill for the remains of a woman whose fiance is charged with her murder.
Authorities said their search for evidence or the remains of Kelsey Berreth that began on Tuesday could take weeks. The site is about 90 miles (145 kilometers) south of Denver.
Berreth, the 29-year-old mother of a daughter with the suspected killer, was last seen near her home near Colorado Springs on Nov. 22.
Patrick Frazee has been charged with the flight instructor's murder. He has not entered a plea to the allegations.
Investigators testified during a Feb. 19 court hearing that Frazee's girlfriend told police he used a baseball bat to fatally beat Berreth, then burned her body and planned to dump the remains in a landfill or river.
