Fine export beer speciality with an exceptional character. Full-bodied and mild in flavour. This variety very soon became a bestseller thanks to the brand awareness, which has persisted from GDR times. Our “Spezi” was and still is the byword in Saxony for the pride we take in brewing. With its semi-dry bitterness and unmistakable, full-bodied flavour, Braustolz Spezial is the alternative for beer-drinkers.

Businesses are trying to find new and novel ways to keep people in their stores so they will buy more of their products. It is becoming more and more difficult to keep the attention of today’s savvy consumers. They are usually well researched and know exactly what they want. In order to keep their attention you need to exploit product displays in order to show the customer what you’d like them to purchase, whether it’s a great deal or a new and exciting product. End caps and floor displays are the best ways to do this.
It is also interesting how mobile is working for brick and mortar establishments. Having your business details available on a mobile friendly site is key to letting potential customers know what your hours are and the best way to find you.
Knowing what a customer is looking for and how to serve them properly can make all the difference. 51% of the people say they would trade their email address for free Wi-Fi. This can be a great way to build an email list of qualified people that should be very interested in learning more about your businesses products.

This article is about geographical subdivisions. For titles of nobility, see Peerage of Ireland § Barons. For feudal honours, see Irish feudal barony.
In Ireland, a barony (Irish: barúntacht, plural barúntachtaí) is a historical subdivision of a county, analogous to the hundreds into which the counties of England were divided. Baronies were created during the Tudor reconquest of Ireland, replacing the earlier cantreds formed after the original Norman invasion. Some early baronies were later subdivided into half baronies with the same standing as full baronies.
Baronies were mainly cadastral rather than administrative units. They acquired modest local taxation and spending functions in the nineteenth century before being superseded by the Local Government (Ireland) Act 1898. Subsequent adjustments of county boundaries mean that some baronies now straddle two counties.
The final catalogue of baronies numbered 331, with an average area of 255 km2 (98 sq mi; 63,000 acres); therefore, each county was divided, on average, into 10 or 11 baronies.
Over the centuries, these senses diverged, and many administrative baronies have never been associated with feudal or noble titles. Spurious "barony" titles have been sold by using the names of administrative baronies for which there is no corresponding hereditary or prescriptive barony. In counties Louth and Meath, the administrative subdivisions were called "baronies" from the beginning, originally as portions given by Hugh de Lacy, Lord of Meath to his vassals. Further south the name "cantred" was used till the fifteenth century. The cantreds declined with the rest of the English colony as its influence retreated to the Pale in the fourteenth century, and when the Tudors and Stuarts revived and extended county government, the baronies which they delimited often bore little relation to the earlier cantreds.
Most cantreds corresponded to the túath ("country") or trícha cét ("thirty hundred [men]") of a Gaelic chief. However, sometimes baronies combined small territories, or split a large one, or were created without regard for the earlier boundaries. In the Norman period most Gaelic chiefs were killed, expelled, or subordinated by the new Norman lord; in the Tudor period, many Gaelic and Hibernicized lords retained their land by pledging allegiance to the Crown under surrender and regrant.
Sir John Perrot's commissioners reported 184 "cantreds, otherwise called hundreds or baronies" in 1589; William Petty reported 252 baronies in 1672.
Baronies were sometimes subdivided, and occasionally combined. The parts of a subdivided barony were called half-baronies, but had the same legal standing. Some subdivisions came about when new counties were formed, and the new boundary split a pre-existing barony. In three cases, there are adjacent half-baronies in neighbouring counties with the same name: Rathdown (Dublin—Wicklow), Fore (Meath—Westmeath), and Ballymoe (Galway—Roscommon). Subdivision happened especially in the nineteenth century, when qualifiers "Upper"/"Lower"(/"Middle"), "North"/"South", or "East/"West" were used for the half-baronies. The main basis for this subdivision was the Grand Jury (Ireland) Act, 1836, which empowered a county's grand jury to divide baronies of at least 45,000 acres (18,000 ha) and unite baronies totalling at most 40,000 acres (16,000 ha). An 1837 act relaxed these restrictions for County Fermanagh, where many baronies were split by Lough Erne. The baronies of Iveagh, Muskerry, and Connello were each subdivided twice: Upper and Lower Iveagh each have Upper and Lower Halves; East and West Muskerry each have East and West Divisions; the western divisions split from Upper and Lower Connello were named Shanid and Glenquin respectively. When County Tipperary was split into North and South Ridings in 1838, the barony of Kilnamanagh was split into Upper and Lower half-baronies.
The civil parishes were originally subdivisions of baronies, each in turn a collection of townlands. Under the Valuation of Lands (Ireland) Act 1836, detached exclaves of baronies were annexed to an adjacent barony. This was not done for parishes; as a result, many parishes came to straddle barony and county boundaries.
Many towns had a specific royal charter granting them borough status similar to English law. These were originally independent of the baronies, which were rural divisions of the "county at large". By the time of Beaufort's 1792 Memoir of Ireland, this was true of fewer towns. Beaufort distinguishes between baronies and "peculiar districts"; the latter encompassing counties corporate and liberties in the environs of some of the older or larger towns and cities.
The liberties listed by Beaufort separately from baronies are those of Kinsale, Mallow and Youghal in County Cork; Callan in County Kilkenny; Kilmallock in County Limerick; Derry and Coleraine in County Londonderry; and Wexford in County Wexford. Of these, those of Wexford, Mallow, and Youghal are no longer counted as separate from the adjacent baronies. Those of Kinsale, Callen, and Kilmallock are now counted as baronies. A 1791 act dealt with the two in County Londonderry; it made the North West Liberties of Londonderry, together with the city, into a barony, while the liberties on the east bank of the River Foyle were attached to the half barony of Tirkeeran. Similarly, the North East Liberties of Coleraine formed a barony together with the town, while the liberties on the west bank of the River Bann were attached to the separate half-barony of Coleraine. The lands of the Lordship of Newry, originating with the Cistercians of Newry Abbey and passing to the Earl of Kilmorey, were similarly regularised into a barony of County Down and a civil parish of County Armagh.
There were eight counties corporate: the "County of the City" of each of Cork, Dublin, Limerick, Kilkenny, and Waterford, and the "County of the Town" of each of Carrickfergus, Drogheda and Galway. These were excluded from the enclosing "county-at-large" and exercised at a single level the functions which elsewhere were split between county and barony level. Thus, they had "baronial presentment sessions" although they were not strictly speaking baronies. Except in the case of Carrickfergus, the municipal borough, where the corporation had authority, was smaller than the county corporate, where the grand jury had a parallel authority: the latter included rural "liberties" outside the municipal boundary. The Municipal Corporations (Ireland) Act 1840 abolished the corporations of Carrickfergus and Galway, while the Counties and Boroughs (Ireland) Act 1840, passed simultaneously, transferred the liberties of the other six counties corporate to the adjoining county-at-large. The transferred area was sometimes assigned to one or more existing county baronies, but sometimes made a barony in its own right. The reduced-size counties corporate continued till the Local Government (Ireland) Act 1898, at which point each of those of Kilkenny and the three towns was merged with a neighbouring county to form a new administrative county, while the other four counties of cities each became a county borough.
The various Plantations of Ireland were organised largely by barony. Different categories of English and Scottish settlers were planted in particular baronies in the midlands and Munster. Likewise the "precincts" into which the plantation of Ulster was organised were mostly coterminous with baronies, though some were split or combined. In certain counties after the Cromwellian reconquest, Adventurers got lands in half the baronies, with soldiers in the other half. The Irish who had forfeited their lands in those regions were resettled in Connacht and Clare, with each county of origin assigned to particular destination baronies. William Petty's Down Survey of 1655–6 collected statistics and produced maps at barony level to assist the reorganisation.
Acts of 1787 and 1792 allowed the Lord Lieutenant of a county to appoint a constable for each barony, and the county grand jury to appoint up to 16 sub-constables. These powers were seldom used and the constables had few powers; they were usually older men nicknamed "old Barnys", with the archetypal "old Barny McKeown". They were superseded by the Royal Irish Constabulary.
The cess to pay for roads, bridges, and other public works was set per barony. "Presentment sessions", where petitioners applied for funding for such works, were originally held as part of the county assizes, though the costs were paid from the barony cess if the work was of local benefit only. The county grand jury was supposed to have included jurors from each barony, though this did not always happen. From 1819, significantly modified in 1836, baronial presentment sessions were held for these purposes, with a local jury picked by the county grand jury from among the barony's highest rate-payers, according to a complicated formula. The baronial presentment sessions were a convoluted process, lacking public confidence and marred by allegations of corruption and favouritism. Special emergency sessions were held during the Famine of the 1840s for the make-work schemes.
Several parallel local administrative divisions were formed in the nineteenth century, which were not based on the barony. The Poor Law Unions were established in 1838, each centred on an eponymous town; most new or altered responsibilities were given to them in subsequent decades. These Unions which were divided into district electoral divisions (DEDs) for funding purposes. Petty sessions courts for civil cases and quarter sessions for criminal cases used still another set of land divisions.
The Redistribution of Seats Act 1885 defined most Irish county constituencies largely or exclusively in terms of the baronies which they comprised; though in some cases, a barony was split parish by parish between two constituencies. The 1891 census was the last for which returns were aggregated by barony as well as by Union and DED; the 1901 census used only the latter classification.
The 1898 Act replaced the county assizes with an elected county council; at a lower level, the county was divided into urban districts and rural districts, each with an elected council. These councils had power to levy rates and build public works, and the baronial presentment sessions were abolished.
While baronies continue to be officially defined units, they are no longer used for many administrative purposes. Their official status is illustrated by Placenames Orders made since 2003, where official Irish names of baronies are listed under "Administrative units".
Baronies continue to be used in land registration, and specification such as in planning permissions. For example, the form for registration of a freehold property includes a schedule "To contain description of the property, giving area, townland, barony and county, or, if in a city or urban district, the street or road and city or urban district".
Barony boundaries have remained essentially unchanged since 1898. An exception occurs when land is reclaimed from the sea, whereupon the maritime boundary of the coastal land units will be extended accordingly. For example, a 1994 statutory instrument extended the boundary of the Barony of Arklow, along with the boundaries of the county (Wicklow), the district electoral division (Arklow Rural), the civil parish (Arklow), and the townlands (Rock Big, Rock Little, and Money Big).
The Local Government (Ireland) Act also caused a number of county boundaries to be modified, with the result that a number of baronies now cross county boundaries. This can cause confusion to genealogy researchers, who may be unable to find an area referred to as being in a particular county in 19th century sources in the modern county. Most markedly, the entire territory of the small barony of Kilculliheen was moved from County Waterford to County Kilkenny. Likewise in 1976, when suburbs of Drogheda were transferred from County Meath to County Louth, barony boundaries were not adjusted.
The marginal relevance of baronies means many people have no idea which barony they live in. However, some remain a focus for local patriotism. Some public houses and older provincial hotels bear the name of the barony in which they are located; likewise some clubs of the Gaelic Athletic Association, for example Carbury (County Kildare), Castlerahan, and Kilmurry Ibrickane. Four of the six regional divisions of Cork GAA are named after baronies corresponding to major parts of their respective areas: Carbery, Duhallow, Imokilly, and Muskerry.
The final catalogue of baronies numbered 331. A figure of 273 is also quoted, by combining those divided into half-baronies, as by East/West, North/South, or Upper/Middle/Lower divisions. Every point in Ireland is in precisely one of the listed divisions. However, the municipal area of the four cities with barony status in 1898 has extended since then into the surrounding baronies. Prior to 1898, the baronies around Dublin City were shrunk according as they ceded land to the expanding city; but there is now land which is both within the current city boundaries and within one of the pre-1898 county baronies. Notably, the Barony of Dublin, created in 1842, is almost entirely within the city, although still separate from the Barony of Dublin City.

I read No Logo years ago and remember being swayed by its arguments.
This is an article about Foxconn, which is clearly intended as an ‘exposé’ of a sweatshop in China. Would I choose to work in such a factory? Probably not. Why? Because I’m lucky enough to have better alternatives.
They live in dormitories, their supervisors get angry when productivity is hampered, a poor kid killed himself a week after he quit (relevant?), his family is sad.
1. This factory employs FOUR HUNDRED AND TWENTY THOUSAND PEOPLE. Yep, you read that right. That’s amazing.
2. People choose to work in conditions we would scoff at. Why is that? BECAUSE THEY’RE BETTER OFF.
3. A job working in such a factory would be unbelievably prestigious here. Building ipods? Tell me you wouldn’t think that’s cool.
4. These people are genuinely making our lives better. International trade, man. Win-win in the long term.

Whistleblowers across the European Union are set to win greater protections under a new law aimed at encouraging reports of wrongdoing.
The legislation being considered on Tuesday calls for whistleblowers to be shielded from retaliation.
It also proposes the creation of “safe channels” to allow them to safely report breaches of EU law.
If approved, it will be the first time whistleblowers have been given EU-wide protection.
The rules have previously been in the hands of member states, resulting in a range of vastly different approaches.
A provisional agreement was reached on the law last month, meaning it is widely expected to pass the European Parliament on Tuesday.
The new legislation gives whistleblowers who report breaches of EU law a “high level of protection”.
It establishes “safe channels” for reporting the information, both within an organisation and to public authorities.
If no appropriate action is taken or in cases where reporting to the authorities would not work, whistleblowers are permitted to make a public disclosure – including by speaking to the media.
The draft law protects whistleblowers against dismissal, demotion and other forms of punishment.
National authorities would also required to train officials in how to deal with whistleblowers under the legislation.
The legislation says whistleblowers play a “key role” in preventing breaches of EU law and protecting society.
“We should protect whistleblowers from being punished, sacked, demoted or sued in court for doing the right thing for society,” European Commission Vice President Frans Timmermans said.
Transparency International has said the “pathbreaking legislation” will also give employers “greater legal certainty around their rights and obligations”.
LuxLeaks: Whistleblowers working for PricewaterhouseCoopers leaked documents exposing favourable tax arrangements offered by Luxembourg to some of the world’s biggest companies while European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker was prime minister.
Paradise Papers: Millions of financial documents were leaked, detailing offshore tax-avoidance schemes. The papers revealed details about how the ultra-wealthy secretly invest cash in offshore tax havens.
Cambridge Analytica: The British data analytics company was accused of harvesting the personal data of millions of Facebook users without their consent.
Panama Papers:About 11 million confidential documents were leaked from a Panamanian law firm, showing how it helped clients to launder money, dodge sanctions and evade tax.
What are the current laws on whistleblowing?
Laws on whistleblowing were previously handled by the individual member states, resulting in major differences in legislation across the bloc.
The European Commission says just 10 members – France, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Lithuania, Malta, the Netherlands, Slovakia, Sweden and the UK – had a “comprehensive law” protecting whistleblowers.
Has everyone supported the legislation?
During the talks, some states sought to water down the legislation.
Luxembourg, Ireland and Hungary wanted tax matters to be excluded, but they were ultimately retained in the proposal, according to Reuters.
If member states fail to properly implement the law, the European Commission can take formal disciplinary steps against the country and could ultimately refer the case to the European Court of Justice.

Greenwich Town Hall was closed for business on Monday, Oct 9, Columbus Day, but a crowd gathered outside to watch this year’s St. Lawrence Society honoree, Renato Berzolla, hoist the Italian flag alongside the American flag.
Officials in attendance were US Congressman Jim Himes, First Selectman Peter Tesei, Selectman John Toner, Town Clerk Carmella Budkins, State Reps Livvy Floren, Mike Bocchino and Fred Camillo.
Past honorees were acknowledged, including Peter Orrico, Linda Moshier, Carmella Budkins, former First Selectman John Margenot and Sam Romeo, chair of HATG.
Also, among the attendees were several men who all hail from Santa Giustina, which is in the province of Belluno in the Italian region of Veneto.
Danilo Dalan, Vanni Vanin and Alfonso Scalcon said many immigrated to the Greenwich area from the south of Italy, but Santa Giustina is in the north, not far from Austria.
A highlight of the morning was singing by Robert Genna, who was born in Rome Italy and came to the US on the ocean liner, the SS Andrea Doria in 1955. In one of history’s most infamous maritime disasters, the Andrea Doria collided with the MS Stockholm a year later. “I guess I got here just in time,” Genna said.
Genna next impressed the crowd with his version of “Il Canto Degli Italiani” (The Chant Of The Italians), with many in the crowd singing along. Written in 1847, it officially became the national anthem of Italy in 2012.
Tod Laudonia, Greenwich’s tax collector and president of the St. Lawrence Society, welcomed all to the 30th annual Columbus Day Celebration and introduced Renato Berzolla.
Laudonia said the Italian flag is hoisted alongside the American flag each year as a symbol of Italian ancestors’ love for their newfound land.
Laudonia introduced the 30th honoree for the 2017 Columbus Day celebration, Renato Berzolla, who was a unanimous choice among the St. Lawrence Society board. Mr. Berzolla, who dedicated a large part of his life to the church, exemplifies the values the club was established to promote.
Mr. Berzolla, who hails from a small town in the mountains of Italy, said he never dreamed he’d wind up in Greenwich, much less hoisting the Italian flag for Columbus Day.
Graziano Bortot whose parents arrived in Greenwich with their six children in 1960 said Santa Giustina is in the north of Italy near Austria. “There aren’t many Italians in Greenwich who are from the north of Italy.

Since January 2013, Snail Aid has become an official partner of TIRAMISU (Toolbox Implementation for Removal of Anti-personnel Mines, Submunitions and UXO) project, funded by the European Commission under framework program fp7.
The goal of TIRAMISU project is to develop a set of cost-effective tools integrated in a comprehensive modular toolbox for Humanitarian Demining, explosive remnants of war (ERW) and unexploded ordnance (UXO) removal tasks and a related operational implementation of services, including standardization actions.
Within TIRAMISU project Snail Aid is working on developing a tool for Mine Risk Education (MRE) based on a continuously evolving, participatory radio play, named Billy Goat Radio.
Moreover, Snail Aid is working on the toolbox end-users and system's requirements (see Land Release in Action below) and on tools for protective equipment and protection, which is related to the work ongoing on the upgrade of Locostra.
Recently, Snail Aid involvement expanded to include work on standardization, exploitation and dissemination.
A paper presenting major results from the study has been written with the help of Andy Smith, mine action specialist. It can be downloaded here.

Where environmental matters are concerned, Maui these days is a place of great contradictions.
As a relatively tiny rock in the middle of the vast Pacific, the island has extremely limited landfill potential–a reality everyone here is well aware of–yet the County of Maui’s curbside recycling program remains an isolated experiment.
So-called “zero emission” electric cars, though still just a small percentage of vehicles on the road, are nonetheless gaining in popularity, even though the electrical power that charges them largely comes from island generators that burn fossil fuels and sugar cane bagrasse.
Hawaiian Commercial & Sugar likes to advertise that its 37,000 acres of sugar cane are “keeping Maui green,” yet its sugar processing methods involving burning the cane in the fields, which produces choking smoke and particulates.
We could go on, but you probably get the point. Regardless of any consensus among the county’s residents and officials about the imperative threats posed by global climate change (rising sea levels, increasingly powerful storms and species extinctions being the most prominent), competing commercial motives and entrenched power structures will always slow true environmental reform.
So this year, instead of providing tips on recycling or other such “green” fare, we’re giving you a few special reports on some green efforts around the county, state and nation. We talk to U.S. Senator Brian Schatz about some of the (for Washington) radical climate change solutions he’s proposing. Then we search for more information as to why the State of Hawaii is pumping hundreds of thousands of dollars into a biofuel program they don’t really understand. And we look at how state tax credits are helping to pay for green development and retrofits at local resorts.
Before contact with Western civilization, the island’s land, life and climate help special importance in Hawaiian society. While it’s nice to see modern society returning to some of that thinking, there’s much more we still need to accomplish if we’re to ensure that Hawaii’s climate and lifeforms are here for future generations.

There’s a lot going on these days. All good, All promising. I’ll share some of the relevant highlights.
One of my clients is changing their domain name for SEO purposes. Smart move, I must say, but it’s not so easy. What about the existing customers who will search for or enter the old URL, and find basically the same site at a new address (the old address will redirect to the new)? Will they notice and be confused? Do we create a new brand— and logo— to reflect the new domain name? Wouldn’t that confuse existing customers even more and possibly drive them away forever? I’m researching the issues surrounding this change and discussing with a team of consultants, but I also invite you to also offer your suggestions here.
I’ve been given the amazing opportunity to meet with a number of departments within a large well-known non-profit organization. The purpose of these meetings is to discuss with each group how they currently use and expand the use of internet marketing technologies including social networking, blogging, video. The process starts with a survey in which I ask them to share critical information about their buyer persona, content, and use of Social Networking sites. I’ll use that information to prepare for the meetings, analyzing what they have, what they’re doing with it, and how to do it better. We’ll review their input and my findings in the meetings. I’ll record the discussions so I can prepare a report of recommendations. The result of the meeting will be a list of action items that will advance their marketing efforts.
Finally—and I mean that in more than one sense—I have decided to rebrand my business. Since 1993 my clients have known me as the owner and president of Davis Interactive. I created Davis Interactive as a software development and video production company. However, over the past several years, I have morphed into more of a consultant in the area of Internet development and marketing. My name has emerged as my brand, so I decided to cut out the middle man and henceforth do business as Romondo Davis, Internet Media and Marketing Consultant.

Finally my 5 "SB217HL91" diodes arrived in Germany and I hope to receive them tomorrow. Will test their wl and post it here asap.
In fact they also sent to me two SB217HL91, but indeed it was a SB217HL91 doing 502nm and a SB217HN91 doing 505nm.
Will be awaiting the results of your measurements!
since they specifically claim to sell the ****HL91 version in their offer.
Seems that these diode runs are close to the targeted specs around 505nm, with some outliers to both sides.
The 501.0nm is definitely a keeper, but I hoped for more diodes close to 500nm, since I allready have a few 502nm ones.
I will open a sell thread for my 503nm and higher wl ones soon if somebody is interested.
Hi, yes I live in Germany and I did not purchased the diodes DTR.
For anyone interested on them, also for singlemode, they are case positive diodes, like the SB1573N91's, so Blitz's linear driver or sometging similar is required fot tgem in order to run properly in a handheld.
That's very impressive on the 501nm, no wonder you want to keep it.
That's awesome. I'm glad you were able to get one that was so close to 500nm. they do seem to be all over the place, probably an early run while trying to get that 505nm wavelength nailed down. I have to finished the build for Albert's 501nm diode and driver as well as his other diode. I have diodes for other members too. Just wanted to let them all know I hadn't forgotten.
I'm finally finished with all my obligations to other members here. I can now start on my 502nm build. I have a custom 501B host from Rich (Lifetime17), a Nano Boost driver I'll set for 275 mA and an SB1473N91, which is not case positive and is very close to 502nm. Should make a very good build that will run on a single 18650 battery. Once I have it finished, I plan on getting some photos of my 477nm and this build then putting them in a single thread for everyone to see how these can be done and some beam shots of both.
That sounds great finally time for yourself. well cant wait to see the builds buddy.
This link doesn't work for me. If you could provide an item number that would work better. My best guess is these are probably very close to 505nm as they are the next iteration after the SB217HN91. Those were mostly 505nm too.

Your Chardham Yatra from Mumbai journey starts by taking a flight or train from Mumbai to Delhi. It’s easier to connect to the next destinations from Delhi so we keep it as our meeting point. You are then guided to the station and headed to Haridwar. Once you reach Haridwar, you will be guided to your respective hotel and you can relax there for the meanwhile. After this you head to the river site and experience the religious attitude of the city.
After relaxing from the journey, you have your breakfast. Post this you are set to move on to Barkot which is about 200 kilometres from Haridwar.
After staying the night at Barkot, you are driven to Jankichatti, Yamunotri. This is followed by a trek of about 6-6.5km. If you feel it’s too much you can skip walking and use other available alternatives.
This day you leave Barkot for Uttarkashi. It is a four hour long drive. Since you leave early morning, you are there by noon and can make the best of your time visiting the listed religious shrines and the famous temples the city is known for.
Next, you reach your next destination, Gangotri again leaving early in the morning. This takes you to the river Ganga that blesses you deeply and washes away the bad. A dip means you need to carry extra clothing with you. You can travel with a small bag and keep your belongings safely with you.
You start early from Uttarkashi for Guptkashi in the Gharwal Hills of Uttarakhand. On the way you stop to witness the Tehri Dam and the famous Vishwanath Temple and seek blessings of Lord Shiva.
This day covers two destinations namely Gaurikund and Kedarnath. We travel directly to Kedarnath and stop at the Shankaracharya Samadhi to pay respect. The night halt is at Kedarnath and you can sleep to rest enough for next morning.
After visiting all the religious places at Kedarnath, we return to our hotel in Guptkashi. A good meal followed by an evening puja and dinner conclude the day.
You then head to the city of Badirnath from Guptkashi. This holy town falls in the Chamoli District and is the final Dham of the yatra. The Badrinath Temple and the Badri Narayanan Temple are the shrines without which your journey will remain incomplete. You must attend the puja here and seek blessings at the temples. Badrinath also has serene beauty that you can admire once you have completed the visit to all places that are marked on the journey.
Day 10 to Day 12: Once your Chardham yatra is completed, you head from Badrinath to Srinagar in Uttarakhand. Spending a night here is a good idea and gives you the desired rest. Then you leave for Rishikesh where you can indulge in some sightseeing and visit holy places. This finally brings us to day 12 where you head back to Delhi and then to Mumbai, completing your Yatra through Chardhambooking.com.

The 'Glen Bakery is a four bedroom self-contained shop-house in the centre of Rutherglen. It caters for group accommodation. Rooms are not let separately. Ideal for weddings, catch ups or families. The main house was built in the 1920s and is solid brick with some art deco features, ornate plaster, polished Murray pine doors and high ceilings. The house was a shop and dwelling fronting the main street and was the town's bakery until the 1960s. The bakery building is immediately to the rear (now converted to two bathroom facilities). The baker's oven, including the original cast iron doors, remains intact.

From time to time, I will dedicate blogs to issues that are trending to the MPD website or my office. This week's topics touch upon questions I have received relative to protesters stopping traffic, the recent Council resolution to study body worn cameras in 2015, and the federal government's 1033 program.
I have received many comments questioning why the MPD has not arrested protesters when they march in the streets or stop in the middle of an intersection, holding up traffic.
MPD, employing our Madison Method of crowd management (notice that I did not say "crowd control"), has done exceedingly well in our attempts to work with leaders of various protest movements where we strive for a "win/win" proposition: "How can we enable the protest to take place while simultaneously balancing the needs of others (i.e., the motoring public) in facilitating the movement of traffic?"
This subject became "vogue" again in light of two recent events. On Friday, 1/23/15, a group of demonstrators took to the street in the 700 block of University Avenue during the weekend "drive time." All lanes were held up, nothing could proceed westbound, and motorists were rerouted. While we were patient in trying to make accommodations for the protesters, when 20 minutes had expired the organizers were told to wrap things up; they agreed to do so but we were not able to allow traffic to proceed through the area for another 8 minutes. Based upon the totality of the circumstances, this was an unreasonable amount of time and in the future, individuals engaged/responsible will be cited.
Last Monday, 1/26/15, a group of about 25 protesters spontaneously blocked eastbound traffic on Doty Street at Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard during evening "drive time." Unlike most demonstrations that MPD works, this time we were provided no notice and thus had no one immediately available to provide traffic direction or to reroute vehicles. A review of video of this incident showed the volatility of what could occur when citizens are left to fend for themselves without our presence; many motorists were clearly indignant, horns were blaring constantly, some vehicles were nudging forward toward the human barricade and 911 was called. It appeared the situation was becoming highly confrontational. By the time we were able to summon up cops from around the Central District, the protesters had retreated elsewhere. This sort of demonstration "tactic" is fraught with potential flashpoints and cannot be countenanced. At least in the earlier incident in the 700 block of University Avenue, working with us guaranteed a "safer" venue with less likelihood of increasing hostilities.
MPD, through our Special Events Team (SET), has always attempted to preemptively meet with leaders of groups who intend to protest in the Capital city. Consistent with this practice we have implored the identifiable leadership of the group(s) involved in the aforementioned demonstrations, urging an open dialogue of future events, identifying anticipated needs of the group as well as communicating our expectations as to what is "reasonable" under the circumstances. It is my hope that this exchange of information will continue. While it is not my preference to ever have to rely on enforcement strategies in dealing with demonstrations, it is clearly among our options should the situation so dictate. We evaluate all of these incidents on a case-by-case basis, attempting to exhaust all other remedies prior to intervening with citations and/or arrest.
A number of people have been making inquiries about where MPD is with respect to the body worn cameras issue. Some have also commented that I seem to be less than enthusiastic about getting cameras and note that agencies across the country are obtaining them. So why isn't MPD following suit as this has become a predominant theme?
On 1/26/15, the City of Madison's Board of Estimates (BOE) gave its approval to a resolution which provides $30,000 to study the matter. Now, the resolution will proceed to the Common Council for further discussion and review.
The money that has been already budgeted will allow an ad hoc committee, directed by the Council, to conduct a comprehensive review of the potential use of body worn cameras for the MPD. In a nutshell, the resolution notes that this study will attempt to survey our community through a variety of means including grass roots forums, polling (both electronically and by boots on the ground), discussions with various constituent groups, consideration of privacy concerns, and the feasibility of funding an initiative of this scope are among a host of issues that will be examined. Ultimately, a report will synthesize the findings and then gets delivered back to the Council for their consideration of next steps.
It is important that people understand that MPD will only have one representative on this committee. That is as it should be. I want this report to be truly reflective as an independent means of gauging support for cameras; I do not want it to be said that the police were driving the report or dictating committee findings or recommendations. The very appearance(s) of MPD running the show might be construed as disingenuous and the results could be discredited as self-serving.
As for the perceptions that I may be less-than-thrilled about the necessity for acquiring cameras at this particular time? "Guilty" as charged. With so many compelling issues facing my Department and this City over the next few years, the sense of urgency that others feel over cameras is not shared by me. The initial start-up costs alone--not to mention what it will take to provide support for this infrastructure for years to come--is an eye popping figure.
There are significant reservations that must be thoughtfully considered before making a quantum leap that cameras are right for Madison at this time. Some of the suppositions raised give me pause.
First and foremost, cameras will afford greater "transparency" of police operations, but will they (as noted by an astute debater from the "Young, Gifted and Black Coalition) necessarily translate into police "accountability?" The two are not equivalent. I believe that the community really wants accountability and it is my hope and conviction that we can achieve this more readily with our continued attempts to be more relational, more engaging, and more sensitive to the needs of our constituents in our challenged neighborhoods.
My concerns about the "unintended consequences" of cameras are well-documented. Protocols about when the cameras will be turned on/off may have profound implications in a variety of contexts. For example, will we be recording the already difficult attempts to get information from sexual assault victims? Do we want all of our juvenile encounters captured? Are we compelled to have the cameras rolling when Neighborhood Officers are trying to connect with residents? What about the domestic dispute that officers record in someone's home where no arrest is made? Where does that footage go and how long will it be retained? What about those among us who are "living in the shadows" and already have issues of mistrust about the police owing to their life experiences in countries of origin or the fear of deportation? It is difficult enough to encourage these individuals to come forward to report those instances when they have witnessed crime(s) or are themselves victims. Does anyone truly believe that when police record these encounters the result will be greater "trust" in the police?
Frankly, my profession have always been suckers for the next "flavor of the month" and then like lemmings following one another off a proverbial cliff, all join the real or perceived "leaders" in their haste to not get left behind and be viewed as stoic, stodgy, curmudgeons. Enter stage right~ body worn cameras! Surely this will be the panacea for all that is wanting in our profession! A quick, hip and trendy, one-size-fits-all solution to our lack of trust and credibility! Many departments are in the midst of trying to "catch up" and overcompensate for years of being insular and resistant to change(s)---the only things that seems to make us embrace change is when we are: hit with a lawsuit, forced to change due to legislative mandates because of reticent practices (i.e., the legislative mandate to compel mandatory arrest in domestic violence cases), or have been so woefully indifferent to constitutional rights as to be the subject of a federal consent decree. . A sad commentary on many levels.. But Madison is not in that league, in spite of what some of our detractors allege.
My critics have pointed to the fact that all of the reservations I have expressed have been raised elsewhere and, over time, overcome. One person mentioned that Janesville has had cameras for almost seven years and there have been no major problems that have not been resolved. I am glad for Janesville and if a decision is made to go with cameras, I have no doubt that we will reach out to the Janesville PD and see what "lessons learned" can be shared with us. But we are not Janesville. Each and every community has unique needs and challenges. What might be a good fit for one city implies that we are all the "same," which I cannot agree with.
Don't get me wrong. Should the Committee declare that their findings indicate a necessity to launch cameras at the earliest option (the first quarter of 2016 for a "pilot" prior to expansion to all of field operations), then I will embrace the recommendations and move forward with all due diligence. But if/when I am asked what I would do with the money that would otherwise be tied to starting up cameras, I would prefer that it be earmarked for more neighborhood officers or used to help defray the costs of getting the Midtown District up and functioning as the needs of the West District become overly stretched.
Given my "reluctance," is this study worth funding? Absolutely. If for no other reason than for the opportunity to have an independent third party coordinate robust community engagement that lets me know, critically, how MPD is doing. While I have held quarterly community forums since taking office (and we are embarking upon a series this month) and show up at venues all over the City, I know that not everyone will feel comfortable in discussing their concerns with me, for whatever reason(s). While I would like to be considered reasonable and approachable, the fact remains that not everyone shares that thought. I get it. So if this study provides yet another mechanism for informing me on concerns from untapped voices in the neighborhood who will not talk to me directly, I am for it! Whatever it takes to keep us mindful of trending concerns, no matter the source of that information.
Shortly after the events of Ferguson (and beyond), I stated publicly that some form of cameras were probably inevitable, given the groundswell of public sentiments being voiced. With time, however, has come a second look at whether cameras are being overhyped in terms of what they can be realistically expected to deliver. Remember, MPD already records traffic stops, Miranda interrogations of juveniles, Miranda interrogations of adults accused of a felony, and all of our SWAT operations. Additionally, we use public cameras that are perched throughout the City in assisting us in various things ranging from traffic flow, to crowd behavior, and to help solve crimes. Madison is not at ground zero when it comes to cameras. The question remains: do we want expansion? If so, how much, how soon, and what are we willing to pay for it?
Over the last six months, the Department of Defense's 1033 program has attracted a great deal of attention, both locally and nationally. Much of the attention has focused on tactical vehicles, including the armored rescue vehicle (ARV) that MPD took possession of last spring. Unfortunately, this focus provides a skewed view of the program and the benefits it provides.
The program started in the early 1990's, when the Department of Defense was first authorized to transfer surplus property to federal and state agencies for use in drug enforcement activities. In the mid 1990's the program was expanded to allow local police agencies to acquire property for any purpose that assists in their law enforcement function. Each participating state has a coordinator that oversees the program in their state. The national Law Enforcement Support Office (LESO) oversees the program on a national level.
How does MPD utilize the 1033 program? Several MPD commanders are authorized to search for property that comes available through the program. Requests are then submitted for items that would benefit the Department. These requests must be approved by Wisconsin's state coordinator and by the national LESO office. Multiple agencies often request the same item, and the system then determines who the property is awarded to.
The property is located at military bases across the country. Once an item is awarded, we work with representatives at the base to arrange for it to be shipped to Madison. An inventory of all 1033 program property is maintained and each item must be accounted for. The program specifies that some items cannot be discarded and must be returned to the military if no longer useful.
This is consistent with how the program is used nationally: weapons only comprise about 5% of the items awarded, and some of the most commonly awarded items include electrical wire, tools, clothing and bandages.
The value of the property MPD has received from the 1033 program exceeds $750,000. These are items that our federal tax dollars have already paid for, and that allow us to more effectively serve the public. Given the "notoriety" that this program has garnered, it is important to note that MPD is not engaged in a wholesale "land grab" in which we request anything/everything we can lay our hands on! Quite the opposite, in fact. Knowing the heightened sensitivity that the community has for the "militarization" of our police – a perspective which I completely understand and endorse – our participation has been predicated on considering only those items that fill a need.

I am a music producer, engineer, father, husband, and co-owner of Private Ear Recording.
I've been into music my whole life. I started playing violin at age seven and fell in love with guitar at age fourteen. I went on to play in several bands and numerous music projects and always loved the recording process. After completing an arts degree I was drawn back to the studio where I began working with local groups on their records, leading me into doing production as full time career. I still love music and the recording process, and working with people. Each project is a new and exciting challenge- to do the best work I can in the space I have to do it. My philosophy is to take on each project as an individual work of art- trying to highlight its uniqueness while holding closely to the artist's vision. I am a diverse appreciation for music, which has lead me to work on a variety of genres, from pop to electronic, from folk to metal.
Feel free to Contact me regarding your next project!

Which of these tech giants is the best investment today?
Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) and Samsung (NASDAQOTH:SSNLF) dominate the global smartphone market. Samsung is the leader in terms of number of phones sold, while Apple commands the lion's share of the industry's profits. And their leading positions in this $500 billion market have allowed them to deliver handsome gains to investors over the years.
But which of these tech titans is the best buy today? Let's find out.
Samsung controls about 20% of the global smartphone market, in terms of units shipped, and about a quarter of the industry's profits. Yet Samsung is facing intensifying competition from lower-priced Chinese rivals in many of its core markets, with even its flagship devices recently experiencing sluggish sales.
Apple sales, on the other hand, have been more resistant to this threat. Apple competes primarily at the premium end of the market, and Chinese smartphone makers have so far failed to gain much traction in Apple's core U.S. market. Moreover, Apple's vibrant ecosystem and growing suite of services -- including Apple Pay, Apple Music, iTunes, iCloud, and the App Store -- all help to lock in users. In fact, a 2017 Morgan Stanley survey found that 92% of iPhone users were "somewhat or extremely likely" to upgrade to a new Apple device within the next year. By comparison, only 77% of Samsung users said they planned to upgrade to a new Samsung phone.
This fierce brand loyalty also gives Apple pricing power, or the ability to charge higher prices without severely crimping sales. In turn, Apple typically earns more than 70% of the smartphone industry's profits, even as its phones account for only about 15% of units sold.
I should note that Samsung supplies some of the chips and displays used in Apple's phones, so Samsung does profit from Apple's success. Apple is, however, rumored to be considering switching suppliers for some of the parts in its new iPhone models, no doubt to reduce its reliance on its primary smartphone competitor.
All told, when it comes to the smartphone wars, I'd argue that Apple is in the strongest position to win over the long term.
Let's now take a look at some key metrics to see how Apple and Samsung stack up in regard to financial strength.
Apple and Samsung are colossal enterprises. With nearly half a trillion in revenue and almost $100 billion in profits between them, calling these tech titans powerhouse businesses is an understatement. Yet Apple separates itself from Samsung in two areas. The first is its free cash flow; thanks to its significantly lower capital expenditure requirements, Apple generated $30 billion more in free cash flow during the past year. The second is its incredible balance sheet strength; Apple has $80 billion more in net cash in its coffers than Samsung. For these reasons, the edge goes to Apple when it comes to financial fortitude.
Apple is expected to increase its revenue by nearly 14% in 2018, thanks to strong sales of the iPhone X. Samsung, meanwhile, is projected to grow its revenue by less than 6% this year, due in part to "stagnant sales" of its flagship phones.
As for earnings per share, analysts are forecasting that Apple will increase its EPS at about 13.5% annually over the next half-decade, boosted by the growth of its services business and massive share buybacks. Samsung is predicted to grow its earnings at about 10.4% per year during this time, driven largely by its display panel and memory chip businesses.
As such, Apple has the edge in terms of expected growth.
Lastly, let's check out some key value metrics for Apple and Samsung, including the price-to-sales, price-to-free cash flow, price-to-earnings, and price-to-earnings-to-growth ratios.
On all five metrics, Samsung's shares are far less expensive than Apple's. This is to be expected, considering Apple's stronger financial position and higher expected growth rates. Still, it's clear that Samsung's shares are more attractively priced.
Samsung's stock may be cheaper, but Apple's stronger competitive advantages, superior financial strength, and healthier growth prospects make it the better buy today.

"Being dead is not terribly far off from being on a cruise ship," Mary Roach writes in Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers (W.W. Norton, ), her mordantly witty history of the scientific contributions made by the no-longer-living. "Most of your time is spent lying on your back."
"ABOLISHING FIRE," writes Stephen J. Pyne, "is not an option." You can't stop it; you can only hope to contain it. And as anyone who's lived through the past few fire seasons in the American West knows, we've done a poor job of that. In Smokechasing, a collection of 32 new and previously published essays, the world's preeminent fire historian explores the Forest Service's disastrous fire-suppression policy and suggests ways the West might break its current douse-and-explode cycle. An Arizona State history professor, Pyne comes by his expertise honestly, having served 15 seasons on a fire crew on the Grand Canyon's North Rim. His advice in Smokechasingmake controlled burns and suppression work side by side, not against each otheris hardly shocking. But with the West a veritable tinderbox, we'll take what we can get. B.B.
TWENTY-ONE YEARS AGO, a young London bartender named Hugh Thomson and two friends set out for Peru to find the "lost" ruins of Llactapata, a mysterious Incan fortress first glimpsed by American explorer Hiram Bingham in 1911 and then reclaimed by the jungle. The trio located the overgrown complex without much troublea hungover local guide got them there in a daybut, as Thomson writes, "it felt like the beginning rather than the end of our journey." Dodging police roadblocks to push deeper into Peru's rugged, then-off-limits Vilcabamba massif, where the last of the Incas fled after the Spanish Conquest of 1532, the curious author comes close to the still-flickering core of the culture he seeks to understand, only to be stymied by the nascent Shining Path. When he finally returns, in 1999, he develops an unusual and not implausible argument: that places like Llactapata and Machu Picchu were not religious sites at all but resort towns, as modern and gaudy for their times as Las Vegas. In this, his first book, Thomson, now a documentary filmmaker, proves terrific at weaving snippets of history into his travels, sketching not only the defiant Incas and relentless conquistadores but also the wacky cast of archaeological buccaneers and New Agers that eventually would follow. R.B.

Lara Hope and the Ark-tones are hell raisin’ hepcats from the Hudson Valley. My lovely wife very wisely brought me to one of their Austin shows this last winter and I was charmed not only by their rock solid mixture of classic rockabilly and roots rock sounds, but their extremely energetic live show. Naturally the next chance I got, I set up an interview!
First off, tell us about yourself and the history of the band?
Lara Hope has played in numerous bands over the years. Lara Hope and the Champtones was her first rockabilly endeavor. After Matt’s band, the Arkhams (an internationally recognized Psychobilly band) backed her up for a summer of shows, the band became Lara Hope and the Ark-tones, as her previous collaborator, Jeff Kadlic, who builds custom Telecaster style guitars under the name “champtone guitars” parted. The one and only “Tiger Piss”, Lara’s punk N Roll band (where she plays bass and sings) is still active after 8+ years.
When most people think of New York, they think of Manhattan, but the Hudson Valley has an altogether different vibe. What is the music scene like there?
The music scene in the Hudson Valley is awesome. We have just about every genre strongly represented and there is a lot of mutual respect and support. We enjoy the occasional weekender down to NYC, but we always enjoy heading back upstate.
Having been in your area during the winter, I know the winters can be brutal. Any stories about shows during crazy snow storms or the like?
Anyone who’s performed music here in the winter figures out pretty quickly that you can’t win a fight with mother nature. We went on tour this past winter, and after that we’ve decided it needs to be a yearly tradition, because palm trees in January are awesome. Even with that, we had to race an ice storm across Virginia on the way home.
How would you describe your sound and who are your influences?
I would say we are a new take on an old sound. It’s been described as ‘pan-americana’ which I guess means we use all areas of early rock and roots music as a creative launchpad. Where it goes from there is anyone’s guess, because while we appreciate old music, we don’t want to write songs that have already been written. Bands we get compared to most are Imelda May, Kim Lenz, and Reverend Horton Heat, but our influences are wide and vary among the band members.
What has been your favorite place to tour in?
We have a great home base in the Hudson Valley, but other than that, the Florida Keys, Austin Texas, and New Orleans were really good to us. We also have a lot of friends in Virginia and North Carolina who we love to party with. We are big fans of the south!
Rockabilly has a reputation for being a bit of a boy’s club at times. Being a female fronted band, do you ever feel like that affects people’s reaction towards your music?
I don’t know how it works for other bands, but I think I’ve been lucky in being well received in the community as a female performer. I think it’s important (for everyone) not to take yourself too seriously, and remember to have fun. Keeping this kind of attitude makes it easy to fit in, make friends and gain a good reputation (in addition to our two most important rules: show up & be nice!) The “boys-club” mentality stretches far beyond Rockabilly culture, in my opinion. Look at the lineup for any major or indie label festival, it’s almost always strongly male dominated. I’m just gonna keep doing what I’m doing, and playing shows with as many other female musicians as I can!
A musician’s favorite song should be the one they are playing!
Check out our music video for the single “Whiskey Pick”, which was an official selection in the 2014 Woodstock Film Festival, and stay tuned for our next video which will soon be in the works! In March 2015, Lara was on the cover of UK Rock n Roll Magazine. Our website is www.LaraHopeandTheArk-Tones.com where you can see our full tour schedule and order merch.

iderdown is a one person electronic, ambient, experimental act crafting music with an occasionally indelicate hand. based in toronto (canada) and releasing music under the moniker iderdown since 2003, “astable thought” (2016) marks iderdown’s first release on australian label SLICE records. wading on the edge of slow erosion, the music (composed of textured synths, pierced beats, effected guitar and blatant melodies) pushes towards an immersive sonic landscape. file next to: daphne oram, brian eno, merzbow, mouse on mars, underworld.

Most particularly, Rouhani warned that if Trump walks away from the deal, it will undermine U.S. credibility on the world stage. He added that it would be "pity" if the agreement is destroyed by "rogue" newcomers of the global politics.
The Democratic leader was barely able to speak over the chorus of chants Monday, including shouts of "undocumented and unafraid". Prior to the protesters showing up, Pelosi described a dinner she had with Trump and Senate Minority Leader Charles E.
When Apple announced iOS 11 at WWDC this year , it promised the ability to take pictures using the HEIF format and videos in HEVC. This means more than 180,000 apps won't be compatible with iOS 11 , and some of those apps were preemptively removed this summer.
Laura Dern and John Lithgow won Emmys for their respective supporting roles in " Big Little Lies " and " The Crown ". And shame on Emmy producers for both playing off and cutting the microphone for Drama Actor victor Sterling K.
I don't know what to make of the Bengals.
Here we are Week 3 of the National Football League season and we're already talking injuries with the Packers. "I think you've got to watch yourself that you jump to conclusions". Initial reports were that the injury wasn't particularly serious, but his chances of playing this week are looking less good as the days go by. Good news though, three of those players were on the field in individual drills for Wednesday's practice.
The rankings make sense as Atlanta is clearly firing on all cylinders given their sudden defensive abilities.
The Bengals and Packers have met just twice since 2009.
The Packers' last win in the series was a 13-6 decision at Riverfront Stadium in 1998.
The Bengals are 10-2 ATS in their last 12 Week 3 games, 1-4 in their last 5 September games, 2-5 in their last 7 games on the road.
One glaring concern that the Packers had to deal with going into the 2017 season was their secondary.
But getting Bulaga back is important for a line that is thin in experience behind the starting five. Last postseason, the Packers lost in the NFC Championship to the Atlanta Falcons 44-21, with the main reason for the defeat being an inability to contain star wide receiver Julio Jones.
Green Bay can't allow them to hang around however either for a home loss to a scuffling AFC opponent could have a long term damaging impact. The Bengals have given up 20 points or fewer in eight of their last nine, including both games this season.
Injuries are the story of this week.
"We'll have 13 players on the injury list after today's practice", McCarthy said before Wednesday's practice.
The Packers have already ruled out pass rusher Nick Perry for this weekend's game and middle linebacker Jake Ryan has yet to practice this week due to a concussion.
According to Packers.com, this will be just the sixth time the Bengals have played in Green Bay - and the first time since 2009 when they beat the Packers, 31-24. The Packers should get rookie defensive lineman Montravius Adams back off foot surgery early in camp, and Ahmad Brooks at outside linebacker who has been cleared from concussion protocol.

A waterfront stadium is back on the cards with Auckland Mayor Phil Goff commissioning work on the feasibility of a new central city site costing up to $1 billion.
PwC has been commissioned through the council's regional facilities arm to investigate potential sites, including Goff's preference for a stadium on railway land alongside Vector Arena close to the city's main public transport and hospitality facilities.
It follows more than a decade of controversy over whether the city should abandon its showcase venue Eden Park since the government offered to build a waterfront stadium in 2006 for the 2011 Rugby World Cup.
The debate flared up again last year after officials questioned the future of Eden Park and Goff pushed the railway site in his mayoral campaign.
"We need to know what the options are for potential stadium sites in Auckland," said Goff last night, warning that if the council did not start planning it would miss the boat.
Goff has previously said Auckland could not afford a white elephant, saying the 50,000-seat Eden Park was limited to 21 night events and could need another $250 million spent on it over the next 15 years.
"This is not something I see as being a priority burden on ratepayers," said Goff, who is struggling to generate new revenue sources to tackle the city's worsening congestion and housing crisis.
He said the council needed to find alternative ways to fund a new stadium, which could cost up to $1 billion. They included contributions from major sporting codes, income from concerts, private sponsorship and selling assets, like Eden Park.
"The option of rebuilding Eden Park is still live but we need to know what other sensible alternatives exist to make the best decision for Auckland," Goff said.
Goff's preferred site alongside Vector Arena has many complex hurdles, including building a 40m high stadium on land with an 18m building height limit, protected volcanic viewshafts to the Auckland Museum and Parnell, and rail and port access considerations.
It is also a very tight footprint for a stadium and could involve realigning The Strand or Quay St.
Regional Facilities Auckland chief executive Chris Brooks said PwC had been commissioned to do a "pre-feasibility" study for a rectangular stadium with a capacity of 25,000 to 50,000 spectators.
He said a stadium of 25,000 would work well for the Warriors and Blues and soccer. Big rugby matches could use a 50,000-seat stadium, he said.
Brooks said the study would look at potential sites in the CBD, the benefits of a stadium to the city, the market demand, the development of a stadium precinct, the broad costs of building and running a stadium, and planning issues.
"At the end of the day we want to get to the point [of] is this possible and if it is possible what are the next steps to take us forward," Brooks said.
PwC are due to report back in the middle of the year.
"If it's feasible you would then look at (whether) we then move to a full feasibility. And, if it is not, what are the other options for the city," Brooks said.
The Blues Super Rugby franchise, mooted as a co-anchor tenant along with the Warriors, would not comment last night but pointed the Herald towards its previous comments on a downtown stadium.
Chief executive Michael Redman told the Herald in March last year that the Blues supported the idea of a stadium in Auckland's CBD and would be happy to leave their spiritual home of Eden Park.
At the time, Redman said the franchise "would seriously consider any proposal presented to us to become a core user".
"The reality is the [Eden Park] capacity is a strength and weakness. We've had very strong crowds (in 2016) of just over 20,000 for our first two games but that is less than half the capacity. Historically we probably only have one round-robin game a year where we might need a 30,000-plus capacity."
The proposal has also drawn support from the Warriors who said last night they were prepared to shift their NRL games to a new venue if it were established prior to their tenancy agreement at Mt Smart Stadium ending in 2028.

A female sued a retail clothing store for negligence following an episode at the store. The plaintiff (Jane Doe) hired two experts to assist in her case, both of which were challenged by the defendant. The court granted the motion for her technology expert and denied the motion regarding her security expert.
Facts: In this case (Jane Doe v. AE Outfitters Retail Co. – United States District Court – District of Maryland – December 17th, 2015), a female customer at defendant’s clothing retail store was trying on clothes in a fitting room when she noticed an iPhone positioned under the fitting room door. A male customer had placed the phone there and may have taken a picture of her. She screamed, alerting the sales associates, who chased the male customer, but could not apprehend him. The suspect was never caught. The plaintiff (Jane Doe) sued the defendant (AEO) for negligence. in Baltimore Circuit Court and the case was removed to this federal court. In order to assist in her case against the defendant, Doe hire two expert witnesses: Steven Stern, Esq (computers & technology expert witness) and Jack Dowling (retail security expert witness).
Discussion: Mr. Stern was hired to provide expert testimony on liability and damages. On the liability front, Stern opined that news stories about customers being filmed in fitting rooms and web sites about voyeurism in fitting rooms show that this particular incident should have been foreseeable. On damages, Stern will show that monetary damages exist because defendant will have to monitor the Internet for her image and will be expensive. AEO argued that Stern is not qualified to render these opinions and that his opinions are irrelevant.
The court agreed with AEO on reliability in that the judge was not able to identify the “special skill” or “knowledge” that Stern has that will assist in his opinions on the forseeability of invasion of privacy in fitting rooms. His work on identifying and assisting on removing images from the Internet has no bearing on the case at hand and his opinions come from conducting Internet searches. Thus, the court concluded that his opinion on liability is not admissible under Daubert.
Regarding damages, AEO argues that Stern’s opinions are not relevant. Stern opines that Doe will have to spend a lot of money to monitor the Internet for possible images. That said, the court opines that Stern does not know 1) If Doe’s images has been posted online, 2) If she tried to identify her image online, or 3) if she has incurred any costs for removal or monitoring. In addition, Stern does not have any factual basis for his opinions on these costs. Much of his opinion is based on assumptions, which leads the court to conclude that Stern’s testimony is irrelevant and inadmissible.
Mr. Jack Dowling was hired by the plaintiff to opine that the incident was foreseeable due to the following: 1) The coed, secluded fitting rooms lacked full-length doors, 2) miniature and phone cameras are very prevalent today, and 3) news reports on similar incidents that have occurred at retail stores. AEO argues that Mr. Dowling is not qualified to render an opinion on retail fitting room security, his opinions do not have a factual basis, and that they are unreliable.
Regarding qualifications, the court opined that his experience as head of security at a university, his experience providing retail security advice to clients, and other background make him qualified to render an opinion in this case. Dowling’s opinions are drawn from his special skill, knowledge, and education and his testimony is admitted. On the factual basis issue, AEO states that Dowling should not rely on news reports to show foreseeability. The judge opined that this argument is better for cross-examination, not a Daubert challenge as Dowling relied on other materials as well as site visits to form his opinion.
Last, concerning reliability, AEO states that Dowling failed to look at local crime statistics or information from professional groups related to fitting rooms and privacy. Dowling stated that he formed his opinion on the 2003 ASIS International General Security Risk Assessment Guideline, which shows what security practitioners may look at when forming an opinion. The court opined that this methodology is defensible, and thus, reliable.

I was reading in one of my magazines about how ImPress nails last one week and they are comparable to gel manicures.
I love gel manicures, because I'm not a fan of the look of acrylic nails. They don't look natural to me and are painful to take off. I only do gel manicures on occasion since they are close to $30 bucks a pop.
So, I was excited to read about the ImPress nails. They were only 7.99 and had lots of cool designs to pick from. I went with the shorter nails, since I like more natural looking nails.
They were super easy to apply. You just remove your nail polish, use the prep pad, and find the nail that fits your finger the best. Then press it on and wait 30 minutes before you get your fingers wet.
It comes with 24 nails, so if you lose one you can quickly replace with another.
Within the first 24 hours I lost my first nail. After, I replaced 4 nails in under 30 hours I decided that they sucked. They were annoying to me and not worth the $7.99. They were just as bad as the press on nails that you would find at a drugstore. After the 4th nail, I took them all off.
Would I recommend ImPress? If you are going out for a special occasion for an evening, one evening only, than yes. Another option is most salons will give you a basic manicure for under $10. If you're looking for something more dramatic then go with ImPress for the evening.
I was not impressed with ImPress.

"In this case I wonder whether, if those arguing online had been sitting in the same room discussing the issues in person, the flames of anger would have diminished and some mutual understanding would have emerged as the fire was damped down."
I'm not sure how this would happen. In what forum could such discussions take place? This is part of the problem for patients and is reflected in the frustration on twitter.
In my local area over 10 years of polite complaints by patients to both the provider and commissioners have resulted in minimal change. This is even though as far back as 2009 the Joint Health Overview and Scrutiny Committee recommended improvements to address significant inequalities of care, and an approach to care that patients are happy with. There have been numerous meetings. It is only in the last few months that a new doctor who goes some way to addressing those problems has been engaged. But even this is on a limited basis of a few days a month.
I've been lucky enough to see some very good doctors. But those who are dismissive, patronising and rude do so much harm. They delay diagnosis and management of symptoms and as a result can significantly impair quality of life.
Unfortunately these doctors are those who seem to be the least likely to embrace shared decision making, which when properly implemented goes some way to addressing the power imbalance between doctors and patients.
Having been on the receiving end of some very poor care I was dismayed, although not surprised, by the defensiveness of some doctors who had seen the hashtag. Some groups of patients are having consistently negative experiences. I can only hope that in time many more doctors will be interested as to why this is the case.
While I agree that the hashtag may be considered inflammatory, it definitely gave me a chuckle. I am also someone diagnosed with EDS. It took me 10 years from the onset of serious symptoms (17 if you count persistent fainting serious enough) to be diagnosed. This is due to the arrogance in the medical community that has the attitude that "if I can't find anything wrong there is nothing wrong and the patient is lying" rather than simply admitting "I don't know". We live in massive pain for decades: yes, it feels like gaslighting to be told there is nothing wrong with you. It leaves mental and emotional scars and many of us avoid seeking medical help for such "minor" things as dislocations and migraines as a result. Are we bitter? Yes! With good reason. The statistics are that it will take an average of 16 minutes longer for a female to receive pain relief when presenting to the ER than a male. Men presenting to a GP with pain are much more likely to leave with further diagnostic testing ordered than females. How about we learn from all these stories and instead of telling someone in pain, "good news, all the tests came back negative, there is nothing wrong" we instead tell them, "These tests were all negative, I don't know what is wrong but I believe you".
I read Dr Oliver's article with interest. Abuse to NHS staff (not just doctors) happens on a regular basis. As described in a recent article on the BBC "Where are the most violent workplaces?", it is estimated that 15% of NHS staff had experienced physical abuse in the past year. Most of the time we just accept that patients and relatives are probably distressed due to their unfortunate circumstances and tolerate their behaviour to a large extent, since most patients are grateful and very pleasant to work with. Verbal abuse such as the recent hashtags #doctorsaredickheads, may seem much milder than any physical abuse. However, there are two points I would like to make.
First, I can understand how frustrated patients with a delayed diagnosis would feel towards their own doctors. Although I cannot speak of all doctors in the world, certainly the ones I have worked with are mostly highly dedicated professionals and such hashtags are, as Dr Oliver rightly mentioned, an attack on our “professionalism, competence, integrity, and dedication”. I am no rheumatologist but the literature does seem to suggest the diagnosis of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, which is the disease of concern that started the hashtag, can be challenging (Ehlers-Danlos syndrome: how to diagnose and when to perform genetic tests. Sobey G. Arch Dis Child. 2015 Jan;100(1):57-61). A delayed diagnosis may not entirely be the doctor’s fault. It is very harsh to use social media to make an attack on them – even though name of the doctor of concern was not named, I am sure they would feel awful, and it would not be difficult to find out who it was in the current digital age.
Secondly, the drawback from the freedom of speech is that the general public can easily make rude and/or unjust comments against the healthcare profession in an open domain. If a medic decided to retaliate and started to make negative comments against patients on Twitter, the public will be intolerant (similarly the medical council). In an era where doctors are supposed to share an equal status with their patients in their relationship (The evolution of the doctor-patient relationship. Kabaa R., Sooriakumaranb P. International Journal of Surgery. 2007 Feb;5(1):57-65), perhaps there should be some regulations in social media such as Twitter and Facebook to limit attack on the medical professionals as well (as an ethical obligation rather than a legal one)?

Francesca Borgo (PhD, Harvard University) is Lecturer in the School of Art History at the University of St Andrews. She specializes in Renaissance art, with a focus on intersections between visual, literary, and scientific culture, and on the work of Leonardo da Vinci in particular. She was recently awarded the first RSA-Kress Carlo Pedretti Fellowship in Leonardo da Vinci Studies (2017), as well as a Postdoctoral Fellowship at the Getty Research Institute (2017/18). At the GRI, she will contribute to the annual research theme, Iconoclasm and Vandalism, with a project on early modern responses to the vulnerability and resilience of images in times of conflict. Francesca received her Ph.D. and M.A. in Art History with a minor field in Italian Studies from Harvard in 2017. She previously studied in Italy and Spain and holds a B.A. and an M.A. from Ca' Foscari University of Venice. During her doctoral studies, she was a Guest Researcher at the University of Hamburg (2016), Graduate Visiting Fellow at Villa I Tatti - The Harvard University Center for Italian Renaissance Studies (2015), Doctoral Fellow (2015-17) and Samuel H. Kress Institutional Fellow (2013-2015) at the Kunsthistorisches Institut in Florenz, where she remains a member of the research group Rinascimento Conteso. Her work has been supported by the Samuel H. Kress Foundation, the Max-Planck Gesellschaft, the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation, the Renaissance Society of America, the Italian Art Society, and the National Endowment for the Humanities, among others. Francesca collaborated with the Gabinetto Disegni e Stampe degli Uffizi in Florence, the Soprintendenza per i Beni Storico-Artistici in Venice and Verona, and with Palazzo dei Diamanti in Ferrara for the exhibition Orlando Furioso. 500 years. She co-organized two international conferences, Vasari/500: Envisioning New Directions in Vasari Studies at Harvard (2011), and Leonardo e gli altri/Leonardo in Dialogue at the Kunsthistorisches Institut in Florenz (2015), the proceedings of which are forthcoming. Her first book project explores the emergence of an art-critical discourse surrounding the representation of war during the Cinquecento. It situates battle scenes within the context of contemporary artistic, rhetorical, scientific, and literary theories, and turns to the major figurative episodes of the period – for example, the battles by Leonardo and Michelangelo – to reinsert them into a history of the genre. The resulting account elucidates how battle scenes were conceptualized and received, and restores them to their privileged position in the history of painting as formulated by early writers on art.

When local businessman Danny Herman first came to Johnson County on a delivery run. Little did he know that the small mountain community would be where his family would build not only a successful business but also a legacy of community support that would touch thousands of lives.
Upon moving to the area, Herman along with former wife Barbara began building their business. “Barbara and I were running three trucks and decided to open an office at the Silver Bell Motel which is now where The House of Flowers is,” Herman recalled. The rent was $50 a month.” What started with three trucks and the small, rented office space has grown into the nationally known trucking company Danny Herman Trucking with DHT clad trucks seen on interstates across the country.
While making the Johnson County area his home, Herman’s appreciation for the community and burden upon seeing it struggle financially grew. “Around 1989, the community woke up to an unemployment rate of about 33 percent,” he explained. “That was when Burlington closed their doors, and the hospital located on Hospital Hill Road went bankrupt.” Seeing companies leaving, employees left jobless, and buildings abandoned, Herman and other local businesspeople began looking for ways to make a difference.
Not only did the businessmen help with ensuring the county’s use of the building, but they also sought help from state legislators in using the location to help with the shortage of healthcare options in Mountain City at the time. “Governor McWherter and Congressman Jimmy Quillen supported us and others on board to bring The Quillen School of Nursing in to operate the After Hours Clinic as Johnson County was short on healthcare in 1991. Then the hospital was leased to Mountain States Health Alliance.” Mountain States operated in that building for seven years at which time the new hospital building was constructed in town. The location on Hospital Hill Road continues to serve the county as it is presently leased by Mountain Youth Academy.
Another area Herman and others sought to assist the county in developing was tourism.
An additional project that Herman saw great potential in and assisted with seeing realized was the opportunity for a state prison to be built in Johnson County.
In addition to all of this, Herman has sought out additional ways to help the county which has led to his involvement with a number of community boards and committees. Some of these appointments have included the Johnson County Hospital Board, the Industrial Board, the Chamber of Commerce, and Tourism Board. Herman has also been actively involved with the county’s emergency communications program through ham radio operations and the county’s amateur radio club.

IAN RANSLEY'S RESUME; 1991 & TODAY.
2014 Bridgstone NHL Winter Classic Wins Best Sporting Event of the Year!
The 2014 Bridgestone NHL Winter Classic took home best sporting event of the year from the Business Sports Journal. Why this is significant for me personally? I was the designer of the event! Designing for a Berkeley-based design firm called Moss Sports, I designed the "look" of the event. We had created the design the year before but the NHL strike of 2013 postponed the event a year. It was played at the Big House at University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. It was the only time in the history of the 110,000 capacity Stadium that branding was allowed. It was a sell-out crowd with a huge rating broadcast fro NBC Sports. I am proud to be involved with this event and kudos to my very special design team at Moss Sports.
"Last night the 2014 Bridgestone NHL Winter Classic received the award for "Sports Event of the Year"! Everyone had a major part in the success of the game on January 1 and should be proud of this accomplishment. This is the second time the Winter Classic has received this award, the first for the inaugural game in 2008. Thanks to you and your staffs for all the hard work put forth in making these games a reality. The sports world is taking notice of our games which now raises the bar for all future ones.
Everyone should take pride in what we collectively have accomplished with this event. Lets keep it going, thanks again."
Check out the link to the Business Sports Journal on the award.
Zachary's Chicago Pizza put up a small profile about me on their new web site. I thought I would share this light-hearted blog posting with you.

It's a funny thing how adding a frame to a piece of art makes it, well, nicer. How you present yourself to clients is another story. I'm speaking of presenting your design work to a client. It's essential to spend some time packaging your designs when presenting to a client. You may well have created a truly exceptional design that fulfils a clients brief. The last thing you want is to present the work in such a way that the client is unable to properly visualise it's final usage. You want the client to be captivated and one of the best ways of getting this across is by showing the design in context.
The response to designs presented this way is instantaneous. It leaves no doubt in a clients mind as to the end result. Presenting designs in context is particularly useful for large format work where physical proofs are out of the question e.g. billboards, shop fronts and vehicle wraps.
Better still, is to present the design on the actual building or shop front where the design is to appear (rather than mocked up on stock imagery). When taking the original design brief, ask for a site visit.
It doesn't matter how cool that poster design is or how creative that poster is if it's not presented well. I think I've almost seen it all; stacks of crinkled paper, projects mounted horribly crooked on matte boards and scrap books of color copies.
If you don't care about your own work, why should anyone else? Create an Indesign template you can use over and over with your own logo and slug line in a corner. Create a unique information bar, buy a domain name and create a website with password protection for presenting designs and concepts to clients. Think out of the box!And most of all, make sure to let your passion, knowledge, and enthusiasm out as you discuss your work. You are selling your work but you are also selling yourself!
HOW MANY DESIGN OPTIONS IS TOO MUCH?
When pitching to a potential client or delivering concepts; how many is too many? Is more better? When designing a logo I can sometimes generate up to 20 options. I'm currently designing a branding look for a major football bowl game. I have created 6 different designs but I don't plan on showing all of them. When I'm working on a design team we will have an internal meeting to decided what are our best efforts. At our firm, we have developed a questionnaire for clients to try and pull out what they are looking for before we spin our design wheels. This doesn't work most of the time because people generally don't know what they are looking for until they see it. If you show too many design options it looks like you are not confident in what you are delivering. It's even more difficult when you are working with a committee which has people with different ideas and tastes. I personally feel 2-3 options is plenty especially if it's a design pitch. Keep it simple, too many options can be confusing. Costco does not carry too many options of each product and has far fewer overall products than other stores their size. About 1/10 as many as a regular supermarket. They believe in presenting fewer, hand picked, options to their customers and have seen how it leads to more overall sales. They not only offer most products in only one size, but they usually only offer one or two flavors as well. As designers can we learn from such retailers? Absolutely.
Check out the unique way I was promoting Ian Ransley Graphic Design 20 years ago. At about the same time I decided to silkscreen my resume on t-shirts and send them out to Bay Area design firms. It did get some attention. You can check out what I have been doing lately at www.berkeleygraphicdesign.com.
I have been designing stadium graphics for over a decade now. I have 5 Super Bowls under my belt, several NHL Winter Classics and Stadium Series games played in Yankee Stadium and Soldier Field. I have also designed for the Cal Bears, USC, San Diego State, University of Miami & Syracuse University to name a few college teams. I have designed for the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Denver Broncos. I have designed the photo collage in the Dallas Cowboys locker room. I have designed the graphics for the BCS National Championship game and the Fiesta Bowl.
I have also traveled to England and designed the graphics at Walker Stadium for the Leicester City Foxes which was a great honor having dual-citizenship in Britain and the U.S. These are just a few of the major stadium and event graphics I have designed. Please check out just a few of the more recent projects and let me know if you have any questions. Here is the link to a few photos of some of the projects I have designed. Please email me with any questions.
Sharable content will put you on the fast track to acquiring new Likes but do Likes translate to payable design projects? Personally I try to promote myself un many ways online. I have a personal Facebook page and a professional Facebook page called Ian Ransley Design and Illustration. Please join it. I use it to promote my work but I also us it while I am designing or to throw up several concepts to get feedback from followers. My theory is your friends are one of the best ways to get the word out you are trying to find freelance design work.
Facebook is an ever-evolving social network which offers businesses many options to market their services. But are the main users of Facebook females between the ages of 18 to 24? Is that really the audience I want? And are most people accessing Facebook from their phones? I think Facebook is still a confusing marketing platform for businesses. Like anything ensure your audience doesn't bore of your brand due to repetition. Refresh or continue to add new content as often as possible so you stay visible and more importantly, the content is interesting. I like the platform because as a graphic designer, I get critical feedback in a safe environment. What do you think about marketing on Facebook as a freelance designer?
Check out the video I created of the year-long process of designing for Super Bowl XLIV in South Florida a few years back. Here is the youtube link; FLYING COLORS: THE DESIGN ROAD TO THE SUPER BOWL. Enjoy!

Welcome to your weekly Title III update for July 23, 2018. A lot happening both in and out of the Title III cases.
Plaintiffs respectfully request the issuance of a declaratory judgment holding that the Oversight Board appointment provisions contained in PROMESA are in violation of the Appointments Clause or, in the alternative declaratory judgment be entered decreeing the delegation of executive and legislative authority to the Oversight Board is in violation of the Separation of Powers doctrine or, in the alternative, issue a declaratory judgment decreeing that the Board’s exercise of authority over budgeting to compel the adoption of its public policy constitutes an impermissible interference with federally-protected legislative autonomy.
In other words, the minority leaders are invoking the Aurelius claims, which were dismissed by Judge Swain and the separation of powers in the Federal Constitution, as causes of action. Meanwhile, the Separation of Powers argument seems elegant at first glance but in Luther v. Borden, 48 U.S. 1 (1849), the Supreme Court made it clear that the extent of the separation of powers was entrusted to Congress and the President, not the Courts. Hence, there is no cause of action as averred by the PDP minority. Moreover, the minority did not file a separate complaint but rather sought intervention. Why? There is a debate amongst scholars whether Rule 24 requires standing. To me, it is clear the minority does not have said standing. Interestingly, the Legislature opposed the request for intervention by claiming (surprise, surprise) no standing. The Board did not raise the issue of standing but said that the requirements of Rule 24 were not met since the causes of action of both parties were different. They also added that the Legislature could of course file its own complaint.
If the minority legislators probably do not have standing or actually a cause of action, why did they file it? Politics. Although the PDP legislators are represented by counsel Martínez Luciano and Rodríguez Conde, both experienced and capable attorneys, well versed in federal litigation, the complaint was also signed by Aníbal Acevedo Vilá, former PDP governor. Furthermore, they sided with Aurelius. Cheeky. Or just simply politics, nothing more. In any event, Judge Dein denied the intervention on Saturday, stating that what was being claimed was new allegations and that could not be done in an intervention under Rule 24(a). Thus, she denied intervention via Rule 24(b), as is her discretion. Obviously, she did not want to deal with this distraction.
AAFAF opposed the Board’s motion to dismiss the complaint but stated something that could mean its dismissal: The governor and AAFAF, however, seek declaratory and injunctive relief to halt the enforcement of only a handful of specific recommendations that the elected Government duly rejected under PROMESA section 205 . . .
Plaintiffs do not contest that the Board can certify a fiscal plan that includes recommendations under PROMESA section 205, as the Board has done here. The sole issue presented by this action is the effect of certifying a fiscal plan that includes recommendations the elected Government had the power to reject. If PROMESA made the Board the sole arbiter not only of whether to certify a fiscal plan or budget but also on the effects such certification would have, the Board’s power over the Commonwealth and its elected Government would be limitless. For example, if the Board recommended that Saturday be a mandatory work day for all public employees in Puerto Rico and then included such a recommendation in the fiscal plan or budget, against the elected Government’s objection, there would be no means for the elected Government to contest, or for the Court to review, the Board’s conduct. The Board’s interpretation makes such absurd results permissible.
AAFAF’s argument is bipolar and inconsistent. It makes no sense to say you can alter a little of the Fiscal Plan and say you are not violating sec. 106(e). In it’s reply, the Board points this out. Also, if AAFAF gets away with this, all creditors will do the same. I expect Judge Swain to politely listen to arguments on July 25 and then say she has no jurisdiction to grant a remedy. If she grants any remedy, it is unlikely a confirmable Plan of Adjustment can be presented and Title III would have to be dismissed.
Bettina Whyte, the UCC and the Retirees Committee all filed motions requesting payment as per the Court’s orders. AAFAF filed an opposition stating that it expected to pay them by July 25 and that it is working on a procedure for the reimbursement of the retained taxes. Why is there a delay in payment from a government flush with cash? Why has a procedure not to retain any taxes taken so long to develop? Either it was done purposely or it is another example of government incompetence.
Lord Electric requested the $1,000,000 plus it is owed for helping PREPA reconstruct the grid. AAFAF answered that it was willing to pay Lord Electric when FEMA reimbursed it or when funds were available. What doesn’t make sense is that PREPA has paid all other companies involved in the reconstruction and still has $346 million left over in cash. I wonder if Lord Electric is owned by PDP sympathizers?
For the reasons that will be explained on the record at the Omnibus Hearing scheduled for July 25, 2018 at 9:30 a.m. (Atlantic Standard Time) (the “July Omnibus Hearing”) the oral argument on the Motion scheduled for the July Omnibus Hearing will be a preliminary hearing pursuant to section 362(e)(1) of title 11 of the United States Code. A final hearing on the Motion will be held at the Omnibus Hearing scheduled for September 12, 2018 at 9:30 a.m. (Atlantic Standard Time).
It will be interesting to hear their argument. Also in the July 25 hearing, the UCC’s Rule 2004 request will be discussed. With the weighty issues to be discussed there, the hearing may take more than a day.
At PREPA, things could not be worse. José Ortiz was appointed as the fifth Executive Director in 8 months. He quickly began promising the impossible, such as lowering the electric bill in 120-days and ridding PREPA of Title III and then selling it. Mr. Ortiz also made claims regarding the selling of certain PREPA installations and the creation of new generation plants. All this resulted in Congressman Bishop, head of the House Committee on Natural Resources, calling for a hearing on July 25th called the “Management Crisis at the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority and Implications for Recovery.” Chairman Bishop sent Governor Rosselló a letter inviting him to the hearing and mentioned that due to “continued disfunction at PREPA” the Committee is interested in hearing on how the Governor intends “to provide for the depoliticization of PREPA and a credible plan for the utility’s transformation that can garner the confidence of the island’s residents, federal taxpayers, and future private investors.” Someone using the Committee’s handle, tweeted the letter saying, “Governor, call your office.” The tweet was soon after deleted, but set the Governor and his team off. CBS reporter David Begnaud asked the Committee why the tweet was deleted and the Committee responded that the governor’s office requested it. Then, PRFAA’s account said the governor did not do that even though a person in charge of the House Natural Resources Committee’s account said Rosselló’s office requested it. On Friday, the governor reacted enraged, saying the hearing was a trap and intimating he would not attend or send anyone. Seems to me the governor senses that its all falling apart around him, that Congress could file legislation for a federal takeover of PREPA or give the energy commission broader federal powers, which he will vehemently oppose and is posturing for the voters.
“Following preliminary discussions with your advisors, we write on behalf of National Public Finance Guarantee Corp. to urgently seek to work together with the Oversight Board in addressing PREPA’s governance crisis and lack of political independence, which directly contravene Commonwealth law. . .
What if the bondholders consented to have Zamot be the receiver appointed by the Court and the Board allowed the lifting of the stay for this purpose? Given what has been going on in PREPA, it is not that farfetched. Let’s see what happens.
The success fee will be due and payable to the CONSULTANT within thirty (30) days of the execution of any consensual plan or such any other means which achieve a similar economic outcome.
If on/or before May 31, 2018, the CONSULTANT becomes entitled to the payment of a success fee, as set forth above, the CONSULTANT’S success fee shall be increased by an additional TWENTY PERCENT (20%) of the otherwise payable success fee.
Interesting indeed how lobbying works. The timing is even more interesting: just days before the Agent’s Agreement was reached.

Motivated by the purest of compassion, the Gyalwang Karmapas have taken rebirth continuously since the eleventh century. The present seventeenth incarnation, Ogyen Trinley Dorje, was born in Eastern Tibet in 1985. Seven years later, he was recognized by a letter of prediction and brought to Tsurphu Monastery, the seat of the Karmapas in Tibet. Here, he received a traditional education in practice and philosophy, and at the turn of the millennium, he journeyed over the Himalayas to India where he presently resides.
Known for his clear and direct teaching style, the youthful Karmapa radiates the brilliance of his heritage. Traveling the Path of Compassion, his commentary on The Thirty-Seven Practices of a Bodhisattva connects this revered text with our daily lives and our deepest aspirations.

One of the biggest challenges for people with disabilities (PWD) is being judged for their disability — and there's a word for exactly that: It's called discrimination. People with both visible and invisible disabilities know what disability discrimination is like: It may be overt or indirect; it may be deliberate or unintentional; and discrimination isn't always verbal. It may take the form of inaccessibility, or silent bullying, or just plain ignorance. And these tweets show exactly what it's like to experience it.
I've been disabled pretty much from birth. Thanks to something called vocal cord paralysis — a condition which occurs when the nerve impulses to your larynx are disrupted and which can affect your ability to speak and breathe — I wear a tracheostomy tube that helps me breathe 24/7. Growing up, I used to think it was somehow my fault that people treated me poorly. When guys in middle school made fun of my looks or my voice, I thought these were characteristics that I needed to change. When a job interviewer started asking me totally unrelated questions about how the weather affects my health, I wondered if perhaps I did or said something to make him doubt my capabilities.
This is what disability discrimination does. We as PWD are taught to mold ourselves to fit society's expectations, and if society treats us badly, it's our own fault for being different. It took me a long time to unlearn those lessons, as well as to realize that people who discriminate against me don't do it because they've never been through hardships or because they're inherently evil. Frequently, it's simply due to lack of knowledge (and, sometimes, empathy). Even relatives or friends who are able-bodied can unknowingly discriminate against their loved ones who have disabilities, assuming they know better.
This adds a whole new meaning to "objectification."
We're not animals, and this isn't a zoo.
Some may find a wheelchair to be "confining." Others find it freeing.
This is wrong on multiple levels. Also, while we're at it, OCD is a disorder, not an adjective for your everyday use.
Remember when Trump appeared to mock a journalist with a disability? He later denied that's what he was doing, saying in a statement according to NBC News, "I have no idea who this reporter, Serge Kovalski [sic] is, what he looks like or his level of intelligence. I don't know if he is J.J. Watt or Muhammad Ali in his prime — or somebody of less athletic or physical ability. If Mr. Kovaleski is handicapped, I would not know because I do not know what he looks like." But still — ugh. Just ugh. Endorsing a candidate whose behavior stigmatizes certain groups of people is complicity, no matter which way you slice it.
According to Twitter user @MissEtrian, this label belongs to a swimsuit water extractor.
It'd be nice to get back home, thanks.
I used to do modeling for fun, and the photo editors would ask me every time if I was sure that I didn't want my tracheostomy tube erased from the photo. Every. Single. Time.
Should we be expected to, like, cry all day, every day?
There are many different kinds of disabilities, and even different types of the same disability. Symptoms vary, too. It's important to remember that disability lies on a spectrum; one person's experience may not be another's.
Way back in the day, people who acquired or were born with disabilities were seen as being possessed by evil spirits or even shamed for being a punishment from the gods. We've gotten beyond that, thankfully (or at least, we've mostly gotten beyond it) — but it's disappointing that sometimes we still need a reminder. Newsflash: We're not a lost cause.
This is just as bad as saying you're dyslexic when you actually aren't.
Feminist intersectionality means including everybody. Period.

So, I've finally recuperated enough from the heat and my food buzz to share my thoughts of the best damn food fest in Cleveland with you. Sure there are bigger ones, but none pack the punch of so many great local restaurants in a cool neighborhood setting like the Taste of Tremont.
If anybody noticed, Sunday was a scorcher! Super hot and humid weather like this would keep me away from most outdoor events but my grumbling stomach urged me on. It was worth enduring the heat-stroke inducing weather and the expected parking difficulties. It was nice to see our local celebrity chefs out in full force sweating right along with us to make sure we left with full bellies and happy thoughts of their neighborhood.
I love Tremont and enjoy its restaurants often, but there is something about food of this caliber eaten while walking around on a summer day, or standing on a shade dappled sidewalk that just seems BETTER for some reason. Maybe it's the fresh air and the once-a-year excitement that takes it to another level.
The heat dulled my hunger slightly but I still accomplished my goals of sampling interesting food and discovering a new restaurant while gobbling up Tremont's tasty offerings. No matter what you were looking for, from pierogies to ribs to a pig roast to various Asian-style dishes, there was something for everyone. Many of the local shops were also out and selling their wares. The folks from The Christmas Story House were handing out free magnets to go with their brochures too.
Sure people complain about the heat or the parking but my only food complaint is that there were SO many ribs. I think I'm in the minority but I don't enjoy walking around eating such a messy dish. Unless I go to a rib fest, I'm not ordering them. They did look and smell wonderful but I was looking for something else. The stuffed cabbage, pierogies and cabbage noodles from Sokolowski's and the church also looked great but it was just too hot for these steaming plates of goodness. My second complaint was that there were plenty of garbage cans but no recycling bins. This was really disappointing considering all the plastic water bottles and other items that could have been saved from a landfill.
The Bistro on Lincoln Park was one of the places I really wanted to check out after sampling their food at the June NEO Food Tour-Tremont. Somehow I got full and forgot to go back for their turkey wing confit. I'm happy that this is something that they offer at the restaurant on their Happy Hour Menu because I really was looking forward to trying it.
Kai Kra Prow at Ty Fun. It was a spicy chicken and vegetable dish with Thai basil served with white rice.
Short Rib Sliders with fresh corn relish from Dim and Den Sum.
Pork spring roll and green papaya salad from Bac.
Lemon cupcake with raspberry filling from Cookie and a Cupcake.
Iced Key Limeade from Lucky's.
Everything was awesome! I have been wanting to try Bac since I first heard about them and I will be heading to the restaurant soon. The papaya salad was my favorite of the day - perfectly refreshing and delicious. Their menu also included guacamole with bacon that looked really good too. I overheard people commenting on how tasty it was and wanted to try it but I was saving room for that cupcake!
There was definitely a heat wave in town for the Taste of Tremont but the two hottest places to be were Fahrenheit and Dante. Rocco and Dante really know how to throw a party! The lot next to Dante had a roof top band, dunking booth and a mechanical bull. The Fahrenheit patio was hopping and Rocco himself was manning the grill. Fahrenheit's sangria was calling my name but it was just too packed to try to get a glass. I definitely wanted to try Rocco's Cleveland Nachos (homemade potato chips with goat cheese fondue and scallions) and their Tremont Cheese Steak sandwiches - if only I wasn't so hot and full I would have! The tacos sold out so they must have been great too.
So if you didn't go on Sunday, make sure you check it out next year. It's always fun and you are sure to leave with a full belly and a smile on your face.
Sounds like a very fun event! I really enjoyed Bac at the Silver Spoon Awards and can't wait to get there for dinner some night.
Sorry we missed you on Sunday. There was so much great food this year, I don't know how anyone would have gotten to it all! Hope to see you at Bistro for happy hour and turkey wings sometime soon!

War of the Rebellion: Serial 018 Page 0216 OPERATIONS IN N. VA., W. VA., AND MD. Chapter XXIV.
The infantry forces under my command, consisting only of the Twenty-eighth Pennsylvania Volunteers, are posted at Hay Market, Thoroughfare, Plains, Salem, Rectortown, Piedmont, Markham, and thence toward Linden, and each detachment is positively and essentially needed at its post, as they are guarding ten intermediate bridges. My lines are threatened by guerrilla bodies south of me, and I am informed they are in possession of Chester and Thornton's Gaps, with other passes in the mountains, and also Dismal Hollow, between Linden and Happy Creek, where a mall force could repel a large body of troops with success. I could not send re-enforcements without deserting the posts I am now guarding with but indifferent strength, and which should be sufficient to repel the enemy in the mountains. One section of my battery is already at Front Royal, and the balance of it cannot be dispensed with at these headquarters, where the stores and property of the command are kept. The balance of my command-a battalion of the First Michigan Cavalry-is in pressing use in patrolling south of the road. If re-enforcements are sent I will make the most practicable use of them if repelling the enemy and aiding General Banks, if possible.
Geary is attacked and worsted at Front Royal. Banks seriously threatened. I think that when the Secretary arrives he will order in that direction all that can be spared from this command.
May 23, 1862-11 p. m.
Our forces of Front Royal have been attacked and compelled to fall back upon Middletown. General Banks asks for re-enforcements. Have railroad transportation prepared to move at the earliest moment-all that you can spare. Report what force you can send to his assistance and when it can start. Do not move it until further orders.
May 23, 1862-11.30 p. m.

AEB-L is produced by Uddeholm and is specialized for use in making razors. It is very fine grained with tiny carbides that resist tear-out. You may also know this alloy as Sandvik's 13C26. *Rumour dispelled* At some point in time, someone suggested AEB-L was similar to 440C. AEB-L has significantly lower carbon content, avoiding the huge chromium carbides found in 440C. AS Quenched at RHC64 or RHC65 with cryo. Tempers out nicely in the low 60's Rockwell.
AEB-L at 4 feet will incur an extra $10.50 oversize charge from Canada Post. Our store is not able to calculate this surcharge, so if you NEED the full 4f eet in one piece, or anything over 3 feet in one piece, we would have to bill you separately for this. Again, please let us know in the comments box when ordering if you need the full length or if it is ok to cut it in half or what size pieces you would need for your projects.
We may limit the number of three foot bars sold. A few is OK, but we don't want a huge pile of 1 foot cutoffs. In the absence of instructions to the contrary, we will normally just cut the bars in half to two foot lengthss to save you the oversize charges.

The final season of Lost begins Feb. 2nd, but that doesn’t its the “end” necessarily, at least according to some of its stars. Recent interviews indicate more than just stirring the pot to get people to watch, including star Michael Emerson.
Lost has been a ratings and critical powerhouse for ABC for years now, but its 6th and final season is set to air next month, and it has many twists, turns and shocks in store, per usual for the show, which has specialized in this type of thing since its inception.
Feel free to read the fascinating and articulate interview with the actor that plays “Ben” for more details and thoughts on the show. Feel free to voice your opinions on the show here.
don’t care about the show ……am “lost” everytime I try to view.

Here’s a fresh new clip exclusively on the UK Asian from one of the year’s most eagerly anticipated new films – ‘Katti Batti’.
Directed by Nikhil Advani and starring Imran Khan and Kangana Ranaut, the film charts the relationship fortunes of a beautiful and successful young couple, Payal (Ranaut) and Maddy (Khan).
The film is creating plenty of buzz at the moment for a number of reasons.
First and foremost it is the presence of Ranaut – Bollywood’s starlet of the moment. She’s fast gaining a reputation for turning everything she touches to gold and her character in ‘Katti Batti’ has all the makings of what made the likes of ‘Queen’ and ‘Tanu Weds Manu Returns’ such huge entertainers.
Kangana’s Maddy is as new age as they come, unafraid to speak her mind and is single-minded in what she wants from life: from naughty movies to “little soldiers” (have a look at the trailer to see what we mean).
‘Katti Batti’ is also the long-awaited return of Imran Khan.

A staple of gay Atlanta nightlife is soon to be no more. Jungle is closing its doors in November.
The announcement was made Thursday by owner Richard Cherskov, who says new development is to blame.
The news is sure to heighten the anxiety among Atlanta’s LGBT community about parts of the culture being wiped out due to new development.
Another bar at risk is The Model T, located at the Ford Factory Lofts building on Ponce de Leon Avenue. Owner Jill Darmer told Georgia Voice that skyrocketing rent is putting her business in jeopardy. And the Ponce City Market development has led to traffic issues in the area that Friends On Ponce manager Lewis Covington said is affecting their business and ability for customers to park without getting booted.
And here is the full text of Cherskov’s statement.

Most small business owners figure they do not have time for fluffy subjects like company culture. But if you want to make more money, you ought to pay attention.
The relationship between positive company culture and financial results is well documented, both scientifically and anecdotally. Some “experts” are reporting that companies can make 2x the profit by managing their culture. I believe that – really the potential is unlimited. Additionally a positive company culture leads to greater employee satisfaction and retention, more positive public perception and a stronger ability to attract qualified talent.
The question then becomes: what is culture and how do you get one?
Consider how you might feel working in each of these different environments: an artisan bakery, a commercial construction site and a miniature golf course.
First impressions and culture are not the same, but this might give you a good idea how cultures can be different. At a bakery, the culture might be close-knit, warm and congenial. The construction site might be rugged, aggressive and fast-paced with authoritarian-style leadership. The mini-golf course might be laid-back, kid-friendly and you might have to learn to fix little things on your own.
The truth is that you already have a company culture. It might be positive or negative, ecclectic or disorganized, or hopefully fun or trustworthy. Maybe you didn’t cultivate it intentionally, but you have it. Maybe you haven’t noticed it before. Many business owners are too busy working on the daily tasks to stop and recognize the nature of the interactions going on around them. However, this is one of the critical functions of strategic thinking that can help owners create a breakthrough in income and results.
Step 2. Examine what your current internal culture actually is, and be honest. There’s no point in insisting that your company has a certain reputation if it really doesn’t (that actually makes you LESS trustworthy!) Once you know where you are, you can forge a path to where you want to be.
How do you understand what your culture currently is? Stop and ask yourself, “What is it like to work at my company?” (Let’s focus on your internal environment for now – we will talk next month about how to extend culture into excellent service and repeat customers). When you started your company, you probably had something in mind regarding what a day “at the office” would be like. Do you see it happening? If you really want good input, ask your employees what they experience and what they think the culture is. You could just ask casually, you could do a survey online, or you could have an open forum conversation at a meeting or luncheon. Accept real feedback – sometimes it’s hard to hear negative things but you need the truth in order to improve.
Step 3. Identify specific actions to bridge the gap. The first thing you will want to do is to communicate to your team what you want your brand to be. They have to know what they are aiming for! If a more formal internal culture is what’s needed to support your desired external image of professionalism, then you might update your dress code and provide opportunities for additional training for your employees. If you want to be seen as an innovative company, you might need to schedule brainstorming sessions and reward creative attempts as well as great results. If you want your customers to feel like a part of your family, then you are going to have to get to know each other as a team in order to authentically produce that feeling.
Monitor and adjust. It’s not going to change overnight. You might find a need to replace people who don’t naturally fit into the desired internal culture. You might have some tension and struggles, but stick to the plan. It’s worth it!
And if you need help, just call.

My Windows 8 installation is currently refusing to boot up correctly. It appears to be stuck on the screen with the Windows logo and spinning circle. The circle continues to spin but does not do anything - even after waiting for hours.
20/11/2012 · Unfortunately, there is not a built-in tool within the Windows 8 interface that allows you to change this image; however, it is possible to do within Group Policy Editor for Windows 8 Pro, Enterprise, and Server users. There is also a way to change this for Windows 8 Home Edition, though it is significantly more complicated.

Title: Subdivision based solvers: solutions with topological guarantee of algebraic sets with applications.
Abstract: Algebraic constraints arise in various applications, across domains in science and engineering. Polynomial and piece-wise polynomial (B-Spline) constraints are an important class, frequently arising in geometric modeling, computer graphics and computer aided design, due to the useful NURBs representation of the involved geometries. Subdivision based solvers use properties of the NURBs representation, enabling, under proper assumptions, to solve non-linear, multi-variate algebraic constraints - globally in a given domain, while focusing on the real roots. In this talk, we present three research results addressing problems in the field of subdivision based solvers.
The first presents a topologically guaranteed solver for algebraic problems with two degrees of freedom. The main contribution of this work is a topologically guaranteed subdivision termination criterion, enabling to terminate the subdivision process when the (yet unknown) solution in the tested sub-domain is homeomorphic to a two dimensional disk. Sufficient conditions for the disk-topology are tested via inspection of the univariate solution curve(s) on the sub-domain’s boundary, together with a condition for the injective projection on a two dimensional plane, based on the underlying implicit function and its gradients.
The second result provides a subdivision based method for detecting critical points of a given algebraic system. To find critical points, we formulate an additional algebraic system, with the semantics of searching for locations where the gradients of the input problem are linearly dependent. We formulate the new problem using function valued determinants, representing the maximal minors of the input problem’s Jacobian matrix, searching for locations where they simultaneously vanish. Consequently, an over-constrained system is obtained, involving only the original parameters. The over-constrained system is then solved as a minimization problem, such that all constrains are accounted for in a balanced manner.
The third result applies the subdivision method to the specific problem of Minkowski sum computation of free-form surfaces. As a first step, a two-DOF algebraic system is formulated, searching for parameter locations that correspond to parallel (or anti-parallel) normal vectors on the input surfaces. Only such locations can contribute to the Minkowski sum envelope surface – which is the required representation for the (typically) volumetric object given by the Minkowski sum. A purging algorithm is then executed, to further refine redundant solution locations: surface patches that admit matched normal directions, but cannot contribute to the envelope. The talk summarizes the research towards PhD in applied mathematics, under supervision of Prof. Gershon Elber.

By offering a Cash Discount program to your customers who pay with cash, you are able to eliminate 100% of your processing fees. This program is a method of implementing a service fee to all customers who pay with a card, while providing a discount to those who pay with cash. Cash Discount programs are legal in all 50 states per the Durbin Amendment (part of the 2010 Dodd-Frank Law), which states that businesses are permitted to offer a discount to customers as an incentive for paying with cash.
A customer-pricing notice in your store will state that a product or service that is listed at $100 will actually be $104 unless the customer is paying with cash. Customers paying with cash will be offered a “Cash Discount” and only pay $100.
The posted prices in your store are considered cash prices and the customer-pricing notice allows for a fee if the payment is not made with cash. Important detail to remember here. Merchants are required to display a customer-pricing notice that informs each customer about your customer service charge that is on all transactions.
This is a win not only for merchants but your customers as well. You not only eliminate processing fees, you are offering your customers a discount if they pay in cash.
Contact Steve Kelly at 856-685-6644 to get more information.

Looking at the similarities and differences in tools and technique between mixing for broadcast versus front of house.
Ever worked a board this big? Consoles like this Calrec Artemis are a staple in broadcast world.
Andrew Stoakley is a television audio production mixer with 25 years of experience in remote mobile work, mixing a wide range of sports broadcasts (MLB, NHL, NBA, NFL, CFL, MLS, curling and many others) along the way. He’s currently the production show mixer for the Toronto Blue Jays broadcasts, and I recently had the opportunity to chat with him about his work as a broadcast mixer and the unique challenges of the job.
Michael Lawrence: Your job is broadcast audio, but a lot of what you’re doing is live. It’s still live sound at its core. What are some of the similarities and differences between mixing a band live on stage and doing a live broadcast mix?
Andrew Stoakley: I think the biggest thing is comms. I’m talking about RTS intercoms, not ClearCom, which are just two-way communications, party lines and so forth. But when you use an RTS matrix-based intercom, it adds an entire new level of expertise and knowledge that most live audio engineers haven’t been exposed to.
When you’re dealing with live bands, there might be four [comms] channels: stage, production, audio, and lights, for example. But on the shows that I do, for example the curling broadcasts for the national networks here in Canada, I’m using a 264-channel matrix intercom system. It’s all point to point, and I have 60 or 70 channels of comms. For me, adding that element is a big difference.
The mixing part is really the same: you’re pushing faders up and down to make things louder and softer, depending on what the band wants. In terms of mixing, that’s really all I’m doing for live sports – we call it following the puck – I’m chasing the on-field play that the director and producer are calling, and I’m just trying to capture that.
With TV sports, the biggest thing we hear complaints about is that people can’t hear the talent over the effects [microphones placed to capture the on-field sounds]. And that’s where I find that sometimes folks get a little too heavy handed with the effects mics, and you bury the voices of the announcers, and that’s what people tune in for. They want to hear the announcers talking about the game. I try to make sure that the announcers are clear and intelligible, so you can hear and understand what they’re talking about, but also you’re hearing all those awesome noises you’re hearing on the field of play.
ML: And I would draw a parallel there to the way that I approach a theatrical production or a music performance. Effects are great, and we all love our reverbs and delays and so on, but at the end of the day if you can’t hear the words, the show is just a waste of your time.
ML: So in that sense, I think the priorities are exactly the same. And I would think a difference with broadcast in general is that you’re wrangling a much larger number of inputs than we are. You mention following the puck – you must be able to get to a tremendous number of inputs very quickly. How do you handle that?
AS: Yeah, and not only inputs but outputs. I have probably double the number of outputs that I have inputs, because of the intercom and the TV router in the truck, and I’m sending stuff everywhere. The biggest thing with broadcast consoles is that you need a desk that has fader space that you can access right away. I can’t be searching through pages and pages of inputs to find what I need, because by then it’s already done.
My specialty is baseball – I’m the home show mixer for the Toronto Blue Jays in addition to doing about 40 to 50 of their road games every year. I also mix curling all winter long. With those types of mixes, I need to have the effects mics right in front of me. For curling, there are 30 RF microphones on top of 20 ice effects mics buried in the ice. So right there are 50 faders that I need to get access to, on top of the 14 talent mics that we have. I need to be able to access whatever mic I’m using right in that instant. If I have to go looking for it, I’ll miss it.
When I’m building the console, I tend to have all the effects mics within a foot, maybe a foot and a half, of where I’m sitting at the console. I’m still old school, and although we’re digital, I still come from an analog world and so I place all of the effects mics to the left side of the desk and all of the sources to the right side.
Because in the old days, as you know, there were mono faders to the left and stereo faders and groups to the right. So that’s how I learned, and that’s how I still build stuff, even though in the digital world I can put anything wherever I want. My mind is still wired to do it that way, and a lot of times it’s just muscle memory, right? If I’m mixing, and somebody comes into the room and there’s an issue, I still have to mix the show while I’m dealing with that. So I know by muscle memory where the effects mics are, and I can look at the video monitors and still mix the show while I’m putting fires out. If I changed that layout, I’d be lost.

Use the videos and step-by-step drawing instructions below to learn how to draw a Stitch from Disney's Lilo & Stitch. Stay tooned for more tutorials!
Step 1: Draw a big circle near the top of the paper as a guide for Stitch's head. First make four small marks to indicate the circle's height and width. Then connect the marks using curved lines. Sketch lightly at first so that it's easy to erase if you make mistake. If you're struggling to draw the circle, trace the outer rim of a cup, a lid or any other object with a circular edge.
Step 2: Inside the circle, draw a curved, horizontal line to help you place Stitch's facial features later. On top of the horizontal line, draw a curved, vertical line for another construction line.
Step 3: Add the guides for Stitch's ears by first drawing two vertical lines on top of the head. Pay attention to the length of these lines in relation to the circle. On the left side, draw a long line that curves out and down and meets the circle at the bottom. Add a similar curved line on the right side to complete the guides for the ears.
Step 4: Under the head, draw another circle the same way as the first, as a guide for the body. Draw four small marks to determine the size of the circle, then connect the marks using curved lines. This circle should be slightly smaller than the circle for the head. Draw a couple of lines that connect both circles to complete the guide for Stitch's body.
Step 5: Under the head, on the left side, draw a long, curved line, similar to a tilted letter U as a guide for Stitch's first arm.

from sands casino, we took a taxi to get to senado square, our jump off point of our walking tour. the walking tour suggested in the map includes too many tourist spots but we could no longer accommodate all of them so, we only picked a few spots that could fit in the few hours we had left in macau.
while some of us went frantic in taking photos of the place, the rest were intently looking at the map. i wouldn't know if having a guide would make it a lot easier. by the way, there are a lot of filipinos in the ferry terminal on the lookout for fellow kababayans who want to tour macau. we were asked by one filipina but we politely declined for we didn't want to spend on something we didn't plan.
and we came up with this.
first on senado square, a place where portuguese traces in macau are very evident.
i love this kind of church which doesn't have too many relics for it gives me the feeling of serenity. however, it was very ironic how the inside of the church was almost empty while outside was like a stampede of weekend yuppies.
too many people i say, for joy and noie got separated from the rest of the pack and everyone went a little edgy after making several survey around the area, but unfortunately, to no avail. how very important indeed, to have that mobile phone set to roaming!
and so the three of us, stay put in one place near the cathedral to wait for hannah and jl on their attempt to search for the lost duo.
we then decided to proceed to our last stop which is the too famous landmark in macau, the ruins of st. paul, hoping we would stumble upon joy and noie while heading there.
then to our relief, we spotted noie as we were about to climb the steps to the ruins, with the exhaustion written all over his face for he had been going to and fro, the ruins and senado square's fountain.
the crowd had dispersed near the ruins but it was a different story when going through the narrow streets.
and these caught my fancy for they reminded me of vigan, ilocos sur.
lessons learned after pushing macau on a weekend.
(1) decide on a meeting place where you will eventually meet up no matter what.
(2) set your mobile phones to roaming.
(3) carry a bright colored hanky or anything which will serve as a guide for the pack. we really did this after seeing all tour guides raising a flag or something to guide his flock.
(4) lastly, decide beforehand on your route, at least everyone is aware.

Very good Website, Carry on the wonderful job. Thanks a lot!
However, being 'too close' in your writing is amongst the reasons that book editors exist, not to mention the same relates to essay writing. The last thing you'll need is made for somebody planning to maybe you have write a 12,000 page essay for free.

A healthy body paves the path for a successful life. As we all are aware of a very old proverb “Health is wealth”. Lets modify it so that you actually understand it well as “No health, no wealth”. And more importantly its very important to maintain a attractive appearance. Because it is an age where every book is actually judged by its cover.
Nobody follows the old idiom “Do not judge a book by its cover. So a good and well toned body is very important as it adds to your personality. Hence its very necessary to see to it that the body is provided with adequate amount of nutrition for maintaining a better physique.
Although it is obvious to have initial hesitations and issues to maintain a regular diet (and you might not like the taste of everything and your face might cringe into a yuck!) but it’s very important to strictly adhere to it.
The steps for maintaining a better body physique isn’t really a hard nut to crack. It just needs a little bit of dedication and sincerity and you will actually get used to it even before you realize. Because every person whether it be a man or a women loves attention. And a person having a good physique earns it. But its very important to maintain the nutrition content of the body without which the body will become weak and its no use having an unhealthy body.
This is a very simple but very effective step. Water forms the most essential component of a human body. Around 70% of a human body is made up of water. And it’s very necessary to drink adequate amount of water every day to keep the body hydrated. Moreover it also helps to cut down calories from the body. Also it is beneficial to intake more amount of water every day as water keeps the stomach full for long in between meals, especially if you are consuming over a gallon each day.
When you are exercising and dieting hard to burn down the excessive fats and calories from the body its very necessary to maintain a proper amount of protein intake to balance it and avoid going into a catabolic state. Else the body tends to get weak. So it’s necessary to consume foods which are good protein sources such as cereals, egg whites, chicken breast, turkey breast, tuna, small amounts of red meat etc.
This is a step in which you trick your body to think that you are eating a lot. Here you eat more number of times a day but making your portions smaller so that you can reduce the time in between your meals. This will keep the body satisfied with regular intake of proteins and carbohydrates without affecting the diet balance.
Anti-oxidants are the nutrients found in sport supplementation and in food which protect us from free radicals which cause aging, cancer and also heart diseases. Vitamin A and E neutralize the effect of free radicals and hence higher the level of vitamin A and E through daily food intake the healthier the individual. It is mostly found in yellow and orange vegetables and also in whole grains.
Now here is a little liberty which people on rigorous diet can enjoy. You can have one meal of your choice every other week but you must keep he portions under control. And this cheating should be limited to one meal every 2 weeks to 1 month after 4-6 weeks of being in diet initially. This technique allows you to keep your sanity while you are dieting, and also kick starts your metabolism after dieting strictly for 4-8 weeks.
Nice post. There’s always a need of proper diet to make yourself healthy and smart. Too much use of proteins definitely destroys us.
Very important article. Many of my friends have problems with your body. Temilola, I like to read your posts!
Yeah you always write a good and mind blowing articles. But i have one thing on the number 2 point you mention, can you arrange in the right order the way we should be taking the protein accordingly because there are some that contain much fat than other because as you enumerate chicken and i think it contain much fat than it egg all along like that so we will know how to take the right one.
You are right eating too much of proteins is not really good for human health, i will surely write that in my next post….

The Denver Broncos defense steered clear of inflammatory talk in the lead up to Super Bowl 50.
After the 24-10 win they talked plenty.
The Broncos boasted proclamations that ranged from claiming GOAT status to calling out Cam Newton for a perceived business decision on a late-game fumble. To the victors go the bragging rights.
Denver defenders weren't shy about pointing out the Panthers talking and swag antics that took place in the lead up to the game.
"We don't have to say nothing. We let them do all the talking. We let our pads talk. We talk with our helmets and our shoulder pads. They could do all the media talking, you know what I'm talking about? We're not about that flashy stuff. We're about that grind, putting in that work. Grind it. Work. That's how you get the 'ship," safety T.J. Ward said, via USA Today's Lindsay Jones. "They want to be famous. We want to be champions. They want to be rappers and backup dancers. We want to play football."
As always, Cam Newton was the biggest lightning rod for criticism.
"We knew that if we got the lead, it was over. Our defense is too good. They weren't going to be able to come back. We knew Cam couldn't travel 80 yards on us," cornerback Chris Harris added. "We dared him to throw. The game plan was, can you throw on us? Me, (Aqib) Talib and (Bradley) Roby. We knew he couldn't throw on us."
The tough postgame talk about the Panthers wasn't limited to Broncos players.
It wasn't just Newton's play between snaps that Broncos' players critiqued, but also his post-play celebrations. Harris had no problems piling on after shutting down the NFL's MVP.
"Did you guys see him dance today? He (saw) us dance," Harris said, laughing.

Weather of this observation season has been really bad: Clouds, more clouds and even more clouds. A few hours of clear skies during the last night was a welcomed change and luckily Taurus Hill Observatory’s All Sky Camera captured a nice bright fireball!
Later in the evening the clouds returned once again but this time with a surprise, a bright 22 degrees ring halo appeared around the Moon.
