The Theater We Used to do and The Games We Play
Alexis Apfelbaum
Four hours away from the dazzling lights of Broadway, any traveling theater that heads our way is always cause for excitement. It was no surprise then, that every seat was filled at The Games We Used To Play, brought to us by Micheal Rau and Max Goldblatt, two seniors from Wesleyan University, with the help of Colgate sophomore Danielle Nolan. The Games We Used to Play is a show that could easily be likened to the daring political figure Robbespiere, who during the French Revolution beheaded a majority of boring, elderly, haughty aristocrats of the French ruling class. Here too, is a play that disposes with a flourish, all of the boring and trite theatrical conventions that had ruled heretofore, for something newer and much more engaging.Rau and Goldblatt both co-wrote, co-directed and co-starred in this performance piece whose creation was based on an experimental process founded upon a series of rules and limitations. These rules were inspired by Lars von T<|fim_middle|> as darkness falls upon all of us: the actors and the audience.We are immersed in the gloom of a chilling relationship and the unnerving game that adults play, where amusement can morph slowly into disturbing dares and terrifying commands that play with the very morbidity of life and death. All of these themes come to an apex, as Rue and Goldblatt demystify the very duality of love and detestation – and imagine, this whole piece was written in a workshop spanning only three weeks! Theater is nearly always powerful, but nothing can compare to this kind of theater that seems to be developing into a new and alarming tradition where rules and limitations give way to chaos.

Interestingly enough, these very statutes and limitations seemed to have created an intrinsic absence in the piece of most "normal" rules characteristic of more generic genres of theater.Enclosed in a dark room and surrounded by black walls, the audience became privy to what is truly private. The Games We Used To Play hits straight to the heart of the games that we both played and continue to play as we grow from befuddled children to bewildered adults in a world of isolation and outlandish love. Rau and Godblatt play brothers lost in the eccentricities of a lonely childhood. When they would hide and seek in the living room as kids, their game grows dark and haunted as it expands throughout the house, throughout the neighborhood and finally throughout their whole city and possibly beyond. As their game escalates, so do the brothers, and so do the dares that become the culmination of having defeated the other by unearthing his hiding place. As the brothers near middle age, the game seems no longer like a mere diversion or sport. Indeed, the play actually opens with the caption: "My brother is lost." He seemed to have disappeared, vanished inside the very shadows of the sinister game itself.We see a brother's search for his missing link in the spurts of light from Rue and Goldblatt as they wield flashlights and flourescent spears, slicing the light across their faces in an eerie imitation of ghost stories around the campfire. The brother's reflection is caught murkily in the soft rays of a computer screen, with ominous music and flashing captions which create the skeleton for the play. (The computer itself belonged to one of the actors, as buying it for the production would have deviated from the rules.) Rau and Goldblatt do an amazing job of creating an empty world and an empty search. Says the lost brother, feigning being trapped for years under the floorboards: "Am I here? Am I beneath you?" and we shiver with excitement and anticipation, watching a game gone horribly awry.The Games We Used To Play is a sordid and amazing piece made all the more spectacular because so much is created from nothing. Walking in, one sees on the "stage," which is merely the floor, only a table and a laptop; black walls surround the space, looming. No structures are built, there is no scaffolding from which lights shine majestically. There is only the table, the emptiness and the dark. All of a sudden, the lights dim and erase the space | 575 |
Ever since that encounter, I've had chicken fajitas disguised as all manner of Mexican grub: from chicken quesadillas to chicken fajita rice bowls and chicken fajita sliders and salads and pasta. But my favorite nontraditional method? Over nachos. So when the lovely people at Schwartz sent me a parcel containing one of their new products: a Mexican fajitas flavour shot pot, I immediately wanted to recreate those nachos.
I love cooking Mexican food, but it can be so difficult to get true Mexican flavors being so far away from the country. Lots of chillies and spices that are native to Mexico and prevalent in Mexican food don't even make it across the pond and those that do, come at such an inflated price it'd almost be cheaper just to hop on a plane and head to Mexico to raid the markets myself!
And check out all these other great Flavour Shots flavors!
Then there's the fact that spicing in Mexican food is an exquisite<|fim_middle|> into the extraordinary and they do!
Heat a skillet and add the chicken and the entire contents of the Schwartz Flavour Shots pot.
Let the chicken cook in the oil and seasonings for about seven minutes.
Add the vegetables and continue to cook for a further three minutes.
Meanwhile, arrange the nacho chips on a baking tray. Spoon the cooked chicken and vegetables over top. Sprinkle with cheese and bake in the oven for five to seven minutes or until the chicken is cooked and the juices run clear from the thickest slice of chicken.
I love fajitas and these look so good.. stumbled and pinned and tweeted.
These look amazing, as all your recipes do! I've never seen those flavor shots here in the US...do you think they are available here too?
Fajitas are wonderful...nachos too...winning combination in my book too! looks really good. thanks for hosting. following you along now. Have a great week.

These nachos look great! Thanks for sharing on our #theWeekendSocial linky. Wondering where you found GF Nacho chips. Are they available here in the US. Also, stopping by your "Food of the World" Linky.
Good for you that you can find a box mix in your country for your Mexican Food. I have never seen that brand before, maybe you can only get it there. Thanks for sharing this with us and looking forward to cooking with you next month when we are in France!

It's not just chillies chucked in a pot. There's layers of flavors, waves of heat and fire that draw us in and excite our tastebuds.That type of flavor handling can be pretty difficult to recreate in my tiny British kitchen. Add to the pressure the rush through the week to put dinner on the table and the thought of chopping chillies, making mole or grinding elaborate rubs for fajitas really becomes unappealing. That's why this little flavour shot is so important: all the hard work has been done for you. From the spicing to the perfect amount of oil, all you need to do is add the basic components: the meat and the veg.

Strefford is a historic hamlet in Shropshire, England.
It lies in the civil parish of Wistanstow and is situated just off the A49 road north of the small town of Craven Arms. The nearest settlement is Upper Affcot, to the north on the A49, a hamlet which has a public house. Strefford is at an elevation of between and 135m, and just to the east is Strefford Wood which is at the southern end of Wenlock Edge; the bridleway that runs along the Edge ends just outside the hamlet.
Strefford was recorded in the Domesday Book as 'Straford'<|fim_middle|> derives from its situation between the Roman road (a "Street") at Wistanstow (to the west) and the ford immediately to the east of the hamlet, which crosses the Byne or Quinny Brook. The Byne and Quinny Brooks meet just prior to the ford and only a mile after flow into the River Onny.
There is a farm shop and bed and breakfast at Strefford Hall.
Strefford Conservation Area covers all the settlement, including the ford. There are five Listed buildings in the hamlet: Ford Cottage, Malt Cottage, The Cottage, the (disused) parish pumphouse, and Strefford Cottages; in addition there is a Listed milestone on the A49 road at Strefford. The village lies within the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty designation.

Management is defined as the accomplishment of organizational goals through the conscious process of individual and group coordination (Duncan, 1983:7). Since the industrial revolution there have been organizations amassing throughout the world. An organization is a collection of people working together to achieve a common purpose (Hellriegel, Jackson, Locum, Staude, Amos, Klopper, Louw, Oosthuizen 2010:6). These organizations need structure, and thus there is a need for management. Organizations exist in order to satisfy human needs and wants.
Due to competition in today's markets, one of the most important roles of management is to increase efficiency, through the use of management principles and techniques, which can be developed and improved upon (Koontz, 1980:15).

Hubble captures image of a galactic 'hit and run'
About 30 million light-years from Earth, two galaxies came together in an epic collision, and the beautiful fallout was captured by the Hubble Space Telescope.
The collision was more like an accidental hit and run between two neighboring galaxies, NGC 4485 and NGC 4490, that can be found in the Hunting Dogs constellation. Given the distance of these galaxies from us, the collision wasn't captured in real time. It happened millions of years ago, but we're just now seeing it.
NGC 4490, a spiral galaxy with a central bar structure made of stars, is the larger galactic neighbor of NGC 4485, an irregular galaxy with no defined shape. The spiral galaxy was passing the irregular galaxy when the collision happened. The gravity of the larger galaxy warped the structure of gas, dust and stars in NGC 4485.

On the bottom right is a hint of the fleeing NGC 4490.
These blue stars have a short life span, quickly burning through their fuel and exploding. But those explosions also release material and heavy elements into space, which leads to the creation of new stars.
These collisions were common in the early universe, when it was smaller and galaxies were in closer proximity, sideswiping and bumping into each other.
This image, along with the other unique views of our galaxy captured by Hubble, is shedding light on galactic evolution. | Now, the galaxies are moving away from each other, and the gravitational force between them is warping the shape of each. There's a 25,000 light-years-long stream of stars and gas between the two galaxies.
But rather than being destructive, the violent encounter encouraged new star formation.

NBA: Jordan Clarkson-less Utah Jazz takes 24th straight home win over Sacramento Kings
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Donovan Mitchell scored 14 of his season-high 42 points in the fourth quarter and the Utah Jazz beat the Sacramento Kings 128-112 on Saturday night, extending their franchise-record home winning streak to 24 games.
Mitchell tallied his 18th 30-point game this season, but it took him a while to heat up after a slow start. But his ability to penetrate the lane on almost every possession powered a 19-4 run in the fourth quarter. Mitchell has scored 41, 37 and 42 points in his last three games.
Mike Conley had 26 points, and Joe Ingles added 20 as the Jazz scored 69 points in the second half to power past Sacramento.
De'Aaron Fox scored 30 points and Richaun Holmes 25 to lead the Kings, who have lost six in a row.
The final score belied the topsy-turvy nature of the game as the lead changed 17 times and the<|fim_middle|> 65-59 lead into halftime.
Mitchell was 5 of 28 from 3-point range coming into this game and missed all five 3s in the first half, but hit back-to-back 3-pointers just after halftime. Down the stretch, he concentrated on going to the basket with success and matched his career high with 15 free throws.

Barnes made a 3-pointer to cap an 11-0 run and give Sacramento a 100-98 edge and his dunk gave the Kings their last lead at 105-104 with 6:05 remaining.
Moe Harkless, who reached double figures (11 points) for just the second time this season and had a season-high seven rebounds, drove for a layup to put the Kings up 84-74 midway through the third quarter.
Ingles, who had a running conversation with several Kings, emphatically shouted after each of his three 3s powered Utah's 24-5 run that gave the Jazz a 98-89 lead early in the fourth period.
Once looking like playoff hopefuls, the Kings' skid includes losses to Detroit, which has the worst record in the Eastern Conference and Minnesota with the worst mark in the Western Conference.
Harrison Barnes said earlier in the week that there was "no tomorrow" for the Kings and they played like it until they couldn't match the explosive Jazz at the end.
Harkless hit two 3s to spark the Kings to a quick 12-1 lead as the Jazz missed their first eight field goal attempts. But the Jazz hit four straight 3s — Conley and Niang each made a pair — and the Jazz had the lead by the end of the first quarter, 34-31.

Future Watches: Concepts
Sam Kessler
Rolex Deep Sea Challenge
Planning permission concepts. We're not talking about prototypes here, the first runs of models already set to go in to full production. We're after the unique one-offs, the pieces that are probably a bad idea but the brand's going with it anyway; the watches that nobody with a thought to commercialisation would even countenance. In short, they are the experiments of the industry. Some of these might go into production in one form or another – more likely a single part of it will – and some may simply end up in a watchmaking museum somewhere. Either way, concept watches are an<|fim_middle|> just 2mm thick. Try measuring that right now. It's ridiculous. It might not be in production, but it still cements Piaget's place as the king of thin.
Audemars Piguet Royal Oak RD#2 Perpetual Calendar
It's obviously swimsuit season, at least if the raft of super-slim concepts are anything to go by. It's no 2mm but Audemars' Royal Oak RD#2 has something that most thin watches don't: a perpetual calendar. The Royal Oak isn't exactly the most subtle watch out there, making this concept's 6.3mm size a standout for the brand – and one that traditionalists might take umbrage with. Components have been combined, integrated and re-thought completely to create this piece, and fortunately we might see some of those elements in future Royal Oaks. For now though, alas, we can but wait…
Citizen Concept Model Calibre 0100
It's not just the haute horologists that are in on the concept game, and in fact this particular piece is most fitting for our tech issue. Like all Citizen movements, the Calibre 0100 is solar powered (well, any light source will do) but more importantly is accurate to + or – one second a year. Now bear in mind that COSC certification is -4/+6… a day. Forget that it's not mechanical for a second; by any standards that's an insane level of accuracy. Essentially even if you never set it in your lifetime it'll only be out by a minute. Now Citizen just need to fit it into a wrist watch rather than a pocket.
Yes, we're well aware this particular concept was from a few years back, but this is a favourite – and until Rolex actually release it as a production watch we're going to keep bringing it up. The Deep Sea Challenge was created for depth and nothing but depth – which is a good thing seeing as it was worn by director James Cameron on his little jaunt down the Mariana Trench. What nightmarish creatures did he discover? What eldritch truths were understood? What's the plot of Avatar 2? All we really know is that his watch survived. To be honest, from the thickness of the crystal and case, it probably could have survived a few thousand metres deeper, too. Yes there's a limited edition version, but it's nothing like the same.
Greubel Forsey Nano Foudroyante EWT
© patriceschreyer.com
It's never a surprise to see Greubel Forsey on any list of extreme watchmaking, but it's exhausting seeing them try and one-up themselves again and again. Mind you, at this level they don't have too much competition. The Nano Foudroyante EWT follows in their tradition of having something tiny inside the watch, visible only through the magnifying crown. However, whereas before it's always been static – an etching or a miniature sculpture – this is an actual complication, a tiny hand that rotates 360° every second. It's impossibly small and complicated to match, taking even Greubel Forsey years of R&D to create. Why did they do it? Who the hell knows, but it's impressive all the same.
A Different Kind of Concept
We've come to expect the occasional concept from Bell & Ross, as they've created a fair few insane pieces in the past. Yet this year it's the other way round – the watches are real, whereas the inspiration is a concept. The Racing Bird is Bell & Ross' attempt to enter the adrenaline-soaked world of aircraft racing by designing their own contender. It's definitely… bold, with a cockpit far enough back for a drag racer.
Bell & Ross Racing Bird
Apparently it would fly but, as they've yet to find someone to build it, I guess we'll never know. At least you can get your hands on the watches, which are in the same colours as the aircraft: the simple-yet-sporty BR V1-92 and the racing chronograph BR V2-94.

Ressence Type 2 E-Crown Concept
Ressence is one of the coolest, most innovative watchmakers working today; so what happens when you combine that with the inventor of the iPod, Tony Fadell? You get the e-Crown Concept. The movement inside the watch is entirely mechanical, as are the signature Ressence display discs. The e-Crown itself though is essentially a watch winder hidden inside the watch, that takes its timing cues from your phone. It's only there when it's needed – traditionalists can ignore it completely – but it is there. It also means the watch doesn't look like it actually has a crown, adding to the painfully-cool design. It's an idea that may make it into production eventually but, for now, is just a pretty nifty concept.
Piaget Altiplano Ultimate Concept
With Bulgari constantly snatching their world records, you can't blame Piaget for going above and beyond in their pursuit of the paper-thin. It might be the next step in their weight-loss programme but this concept took more than a little development: five patents alone were filed. The watch and case are inseparably integrated and a good number of the components are made from a new cobalt alloy. The result is a ground-breaking, rule-breaking and record-breaking timepiece – | 297 |

November 5, 2018 by Outsider No Comments
Think you are too late to the game to take up sailing? Think again! Claire McCluskey took up the sport in her late 20s and has now sailed across the Atlantic and back again.
We've all had some mad notions while knee deep in pints in the local pub. Most of us wake up the next day, nursing the hangover either chuckling or cringing at the mad announcement of a grand adventure that we made to the entire room. Claire and her partner Nick Russell are<|fim_middle|>, for the most part, a bit of a random one," says Claire. "I had decided to move to New York for a year for work, but Nick wasn't in a position to make the move with me. The prospect of spending time apart was a bit sad, so over a pint one evening I promised him that he could choose the next adventure".
Claire McCluskey & Nick Russell: The Rookies Who Sailed the Atlantic
Nick chose sailing. So instead of doing something like buying a house, they bought a boat. In 2014, they purchased a 56' wooden sailing ketch called Rogue Trader. In 2016, they set sail from Crosshaven, Co Cork to Las Palmas, Gran Canaria. From there, they continued across the Atlantic Ocean to St Lucia in the Carribean, eventually making their way all the way back to Ireland via the Azores. A nine-month adventure that altered their lives forevermore.
We caught up with the pair to talk about their epic adventure and see how they fared on the open seas.

It is difficult to deal with passive aggressive behavior. This is good advice to just confront it. Thank you! | recognizing the signs of hostility, it will embolden you to manage it. One of the common mistakes of many people is that they are too lenient. Bear in mind that if you give into a passive behavior, you are going to lose your options. It is important to perceive it as a power struggle.
Set limits – Clarify that you do not tolerate being mistreated such as if the person always bothers you for being late or anything negative thing he does.
Talk specifically – If you want to confront a passive person, stay clear regarding that issue. The danger in this scenario is when a statement becomes too global.
Assertive Communication – Remember that there is an aggressive communication and there is also passive communication, but take note that there is also passive-aggressive communication. None of these forms of communication is effective.
Everybody can also act with passive behaviors at times, but knowing how to control it or protect yourself from these unpleasant behaviors can save you from conflicts and troubles in the long run. If you are in a workplace, you can | 208 |

The BEAmer
The French marine casualties investigation board (BEAmer) was set up in December 1997.
The primary mission of the BEAmer is to conduct technical investigations into marine casualties to prevent similar accidents in the future.
The BEAmer is also intended to collect, analyse and disseminate information regarding professional practices or lessons learned from investigations into casualties or incidents.
It conducts also special studies and research into experience feedback and accidentology.
Legal and regulatory context
The action of the BEAmer takes place in full compliance with international, European and national rules and notably with the provisions of :
at the international level, with the « Code for the Investigation of Marine Casualties and Accidents » laid out in Resolution MSC 255 (84) on 16 May 2008 and published by decree n°2010-1577 on 16 December 2010 ;
at the European level, with the Directive 2009/18/EC of 23 April 2009 establishing the fundemental principles governing the investigation of accidents in the maritime transport sector and the Commission regulation n°1286/2011 adopting a common methodology for investigating marine casualties and incidents ;
at the French national level, with the Transportation Code, specially clauses L1621-1 to L1622-2 and R1621-1 to R1621-38 relating to technical investigations after marine casualties and terrestrial accidents or incidents.
BEAmer inquiries concern French-registered civilian vessels, wherever they may be, or vessels flying the flags of other states when the marine casualty or incident occurs in French internal waters or territorial seas.
Inquiries are also conducted when a marine casualty, regardless of where it happened, has led to the death or serious injury of French nationals, or has caused or threatened to cause serious harm to the French territory, the environment, and installations or structures over which France has jurisdiction.
The aim of the enquiries is to collect and analyse relevant information, to determine the circumstances and possible causes and if appropriate, to make recommendations to improve maritime safety and pollution prevention. The overall context of the regulation or its implementation is also apprehended.
The objective of the technical inquiries of BEAmer is neither to determine nor to attribute civil or penal liabilities, which is the role of the judicial inquiry.
The BEAmer is an impartial investigative body, investigators do not receive or seek instructions from any authority or other body whose interests could conflict with the task entrusted to them.
At the end of each investigation, BEAmer releases an investigation report in<|fim_middle|> departments, there are not distinction with France.

Such documents are based on the BEAmer's own statistical data as well as the expertise of its personnel, investigators and expert consultants. The BEAmer can also ask specialist organizations to conduct studies.

The pop-up event space was packed with puzzles, secret rooms, and optical illusions that challenged guests to look beyond appearances and explore Martell cognac with a 'Be Curious' twist. The event was to allow consumers to visit the Martell H.O.M.E. for mentoring sessions, as well as exclusive dinners over the course of 6 days.
The Be Curious mentoring workshop which we attended was hosted by Martell brand ambassador Pierre Boyer, and included hands-on introduction to Martell's rich history and craft, as well as a chance to craft our own Martell cocktails. There were also limited-time retail offers on Martell cognac and bottle engraving services will be available to visitors to the Martell H.O.M.E.
Consumers could also attend the Be Curious dinner on 8 November by locally-acclaimed Chef Nathalie from Nathalie Gourmet Studio, which featured a menu carefully crafted for pairings with Martell cognac.
The H.O.M.E wrapped up with a Martell NCF grand finale invite-only party that featured their crew of brand ambassadors and influencers hosting a party with cocktails on the house. As the first Martell H.O.M.E. event in the country, Martell Malaysia hopes it will further encourage the appreciation and discovery of cognac through unexpected experiences and the spirit of curiosity.

5444.9 (2260s)
"Captain's log, stardate 5444.9. The Enterprise is on a charting run through the partially explored Moran Sector. Since this region seems relatively devoid of suns and planets, we expect to be finished here in a few days. Kirk out."
Lieutenant Connors tells Kirk that, despite liking solitude and quiet, exploring this sector is testing his limits. Kirk notes that they should be done by tomorrow and on their way home. Kirk hears a noise and asks Uhura is she is going to acknowledge the communication, and she tells him that she thought it came from the navigation console. Sulu states that it wasn't from there. Neither Connors nor Spock can figure out where it came from, and Spock begins a sensor scan of the area.
It seems that all instruments are functioning as normal, there are no ships nearby, and nobody on board is trying to contact them, yet the noise continues. Kirk broadcasts a message over the intercom asking people to cease making the semi-musical noises on the bridge, but the noises continue.
"Captain's log, supplementary. The mysterious music has been with us for three days now and gives indications of increasing rather than abating. Every effort to locate some source for the sounds has proven futile. We are no closer to an explanation than we were days ago."
Spock, Kirk, and Dr. McCoy discuss the problem, and how the only way to block out the sound is with earplugs. Spock notes that the source of the sound seems to be moving about the ship and that the noises have modulations, suggesting that the crew is being visited by a being of pure sound. McCoy reports that some of the crew are having trouble blocking out the sound with earplugs and are sleeping on a shuttlecraft that Nurse Chapel is monitoring, but that will not be sufficient for everyone, and that the noises could eventually deafen everyone aboard the ship.
Kirk tells them that they can not contact anyone on the deep-space beam, as it is filled with static or variations on the music that they are hearing. They surmise that they need to contact it or combat it, but nothing that they have done thus far has made any impact. Suddenly, a large noise erupts on the bridge, causing everyone to hold their heads in pain. Sulu reports that the transparent covers on his control panel have shattered due to the extreme volume.
Connors enters the bridge dragging a large instrument, an Edoian Elisiar. Spock notes that "the triple keyboard operates an echo chamber, resonating bars made of bone, and something that rather resembles an Earthly xylophone twisted into a mobius strip." They set up the keyboard instrument and Connors begins to play, improvising one of the themes in the alien sounds.
The sound being begins to respond to the music, but Connors begins to tire. Kirk suggests that Connors attempt to play sad music. The being responds in kind, but the noise levels cause more pain. Suddenly, the alien noise stops. McCoy and Kirk wonder where the alien came from and whether they'll ever encounter it is again. The comm channels have cleared, and the Enterprise resumes its charting course.
Memorable quotes Edit
"… and we can't have everyone walking around with ear plugs… I can't run this ship by sign language."
"Speaking of ear plugs, Spock…"
"Please doctor, for once try to be serious."
- Kirk, McCoy, and Spock
"I heard a voice, crying in the wilderness."
"What was that lieutenant?"
"Nothing sir. All channels appear clear now. Shall I contact the nearest Starfleet base?"
- Uhura and Kirk, after the alien leaves
"Bones, have you ever listened to any violin concertos?"
"I'm not much of a classical aficionado, Jim."
"There are times when that lone violin is up there, against all those other instruments, and they're quiet, and that one violin is the loneliest sound in the world."
- Kirk and McCoy, discussing the alien
Background information Edit
This story was sometimes accompanied by a comic book telling of the story. The comic book did make some errors in character depiction however:
Sulu is shown as a black man in a blue science uniform.
In the book, Uhura is shown as a blond Caucasian woman, whereas on the cover of the original comic book release, she is depicted properly as a dark-haired African woman.
Connors is often drawn in some awkward poses, possibly indicating the penciler originally drew Arex, not a Human, at navigation and playing the Edoan musical instrument. References to Connors' name in speech balloons indicate it was once several letters shorter.
The Edoan Elisiar is intended as a reference to Arex from Star Trek: The Animated Series. The author of this story also wrote the novelizations for TAS, and referred to Arex' species as "Edoan".

Advocating for Innovative Clinical Trial Design
Katherine McCluskey
For many years, clinical oncology research has employed the one-trial-for-one-question model, where a single trial was designed, built, and executed to evaluate a single hypothesis. However, as the field of oncology research grows rapidly with investigational agents and clinical trials, more efficient trial designs are needed to address multiple questions within single trials, and make better use of patient and financial resources. As such, researchers, regulatory agencies, and other key stakeholders have begun exploring fresh ways to evaluate emerging therapies through more productive trial designs. One such forum for these conversations is the Kraft Precision Medicine Accelerator, a collaborative group formed in 2016 that encourages cancer organizations to align on shared goals for a collective impact. Kraft has identified four areas of<|fim_middle|> transitioning from a platform trial are graduated to FDA approval compared to 30% of phase 2 therapies evaluated in clinical trials using the standard model, which translates to more effective therapies for patients sooner.
As platform and master studies involve greater complexity and challenges in development, build, execution, and multi-stakeholder alliance management, the panel expects that trusted, non-pharmaceutical third-party organizations, like CRI, are best positioned to assume the sponsor and organizer role. CRI and our partners—the Canadian Clinical Trials Group, the Parker Institute for Cancer Immunotherapy, and Ludwig Cancer Research—are currently designing new trials that use adaptive designs and master protocol.

As part of their 2018 Roundtable, Kraft hosted a clinical trials panel on platform trial design on April 11, led by Fortune Magazine editor-in-chief Clifton Leaf. Cancer Research Institute (CRI) consultant and head of clinical alliances Laura Pearce was joined on the panel by Brian Alexander, M.D., MPH, radiation oncologist at Dana Farber Cancer Institute, and Amy McKee, M.D., acting deputy office director, Office of Hematology and Oncology Products, U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
The panel assessed the merits of platform trial design which, unlike the one-trial-for-one-question standard design, explores multiple questions (i.e. therapies or combination therapies) in one trial. Pearce shared her perspective with the Anna-Maria Kellen Clinical Accelerator's approach and its recent shift to platform design and master protocols. The panel members expressed support for innovative protocol design to become a new standard for clinical trials as a way to accelerate and improve efficiencies in the research process.
Safety and efficacy remained at the heart of the clinical trials discussion, and panelists noted the potential to fast-track promising therapies from trials to FDA approval with platform trial design. As multiple therapies or combinations are investigated in multiple cohorts within the same study, therapies or combinations that don't show benefit can be eliminated from the trial while therapies that demonstrate promising responses are continued and, if applicable, submitted for regulatory approval. Moreover, these trials are adaptable, allowing the addition of new emerging therapies or other adjustments as the science evolves. Approximately 85% of phase 2 therapies | 333 |

BEDDOES 'NEW CONCERT' LUDWIG STYLE Banjo Uke (c.1980). £845. SOLD
BEDDOES 'NEW CONCERT' GIBSON UB-2 STYLE Banjo Uke (c.1978). This is a great banjo uke that was made by a very well-respected maker. Light to hold, easy to play and with a great playing action, this is a fine looking and gorgeous sounding Ron Beddoes 'New Concert' banjo uke and this one is a slightly later example of his bottom-tension design made loosely in the style of a Gibson UB-2. Straight neck and no wear to the frets or the fingerboard. Modern replacement tuning pegs. Plated 'NC' (New Concert) metal logo on peghead. Original nut. Spliced neck. Sixteen-fret ebony fingerboard bound along each side and inlaid with multiple mother-of-pearl dots. Fourteen bottom-tension hooks and shoes shoes around the pot. Tailpiece fixed to the body therefore it will always remain in the same position. Old vellum in great condition. Gibson UB-2/3 style resonator with binding around the outside edge. Modern lockable hard shaped case with black exterior and grey internal plush velvet padded lining with internal pocket and lid (lock key inside), into which this banjo uke fits perfectly. £795.
CARTWRIGHT Banjo Uke (c.2016). Made by Phil Cartwright, this banjo uke is in almost MINT condition and it makes a great sound. Geared tuners. The peghead has the 'Cartwright' name on a plated badge at the top and an attractive 'checkerboard' pattern in the middle. Straight sixteen fret neck with pristine fingerboard and frets, multiple snowflake and diamond inlays, and cream binding with position dots marked along one side. Fourteen top-tension bolts. Adjustable tailpiece. Flange contains 'sailor's hat' shaped cut-outs in the style of the pre-war Abbott 'Monarch'. Bound resonator with attractive inlays around the side and on the back. Slight crazing to the varnish on the back. The plating is in magnificent condition throughout. Comes complete with a 'Cartwright' hard shaped case with purple padded lining and an internal pocket (with hinged lid) that contains the tension key. * Please note that the end of the fingerboard is above the level of the calfskin vellum resulting in a higher playing action. This is no problem whatsoever to most players but it can make the instrument slightly less suitable for people wishing to play in the 'George Formby' style. The price of this banjo uke has therefore been adjusted in order cover the cost of anyone wishing to have the playing action lowered. Nevertheless, it is still great value for money. £795.
DALLAS 'A' MODEL Banjo Uke (c.1939). This is no ordinary 'A' Model but one that has been beautifully enhanced and massively improved - and as an extra bonus it has been gold-plated. It comes complete with a Cartwright black hard shaped e, thickly padded and with an internal pocket and lid. £425. More details to follow.
DALLAS 'D' MODEL Banjo Uke (c.1940). A stunning example of the popular Dallas 'D' Model banjo uke (made by George Houghton & Son in Birmingham). Originally it would have been chrome plated but this one has been beautifully re-plated in gold - and it looks fabulous. The metal 'George Formby' badge on the peghead is a virtually identical looking replacement for the original and the 'George Formby' name beneath it has also been added. The nut is a replacement but apart from that, the neck, the resonator, the tuning pegs, frets, fingerboard, fingerboard inlays, bezel, tension hooks, shoes, nuts, resonator mounts, hinged tailpiece and patterned flange, are all original. This instrument is in truly fabulous condition having been beautifully restored by the great Eddie Uttley. The vellum is excellent and the bridge is a Grover 'Non-Tip'. It comes complete with a contemporary lockable 'Voyager' black hard shaped case with padded black lining and an internal pocket and lid. £825. ON HOLD
DALLAS 'D' MODEL Banjo Uke (1938). £695. SOLD
DALLAS 'E' MODEL Banjo Uke (1938). A beautiful example of the rare original gold-plated first version of the Dallas 'E' Model. Apart from the vellum, the bridge and the strings, this is a completely original example and it's in wonderful condition. Straight neck with the fingerboard and frets virtually as new. Original tuning pegs. George Formby's name is etched in black (which may have been touched up) on mother-of-pearl that is inlaid into the top of the peghead. Ebony fingerboard with multiple decorative inlaid mother-of-pearl position markers. Sixteen gold-plated frets. Scalloped bezel with twelve tension hooks, hinged tailpiece, and flange decorated with arrow-shaped cut-outs. Resonator secured by two 'easy opening' wing nuts.

Walnut neck with walnut veneered pot and resonator, the resonator having two strips of black binding around the top and bottom edges, the top binding showing evidence of having been re-glued in places. This lovely banjo uke comes complete with its original and lockable black hard shaped case with brown velvet padding and an internal lidded pocket. Inside the pocket is a handwritten note which reads as follows; " George Formby Ukulele Banjo bought in 1938 at Sinclair's Southampton. My father is now too old to play it, so has decided to sell it after 70 years. Enjoy.". £1,595. SOLD
GIBSON UB-2 Banjo Uke (c.1927). With a re-finish of real quality this Gibson is in great condition. The bonus is that it has all of its correct original fittings, with the original vintage Grover tuning pegs (in perfect original condition) inside the pocket of the Grafton hard shaped case. Even the fitted tuning pegs are of high quality. This Gibson produces a stunning sound and it has a straight neck with pristine frets and playing positions on the fingerboard - which is inlaid with three mother-of-pearl position dots. It still has the original 'The Gibson' (in silver) at the top of the peghead, fourteen original flatted tension hooks, nuts and shoes, as well as the original 'Nashville' tailpiece, and it's fitted with an Eddie Uttley non-tip maple bridge. The finish on the resonator does show some signs of minor crazing but as you can tell from the photographs it is not readily apparent. It comes complete with a lockable black 'Grafton' hard shaped case with plush grey padded lining. £1,295.
'BIG RESONATOR' GIBSON UB-3 Banjo Uke (c.1927). As many people will know, I'm very selective with the instruments that I choose to advertise for sale on my website and I always aim to sell high quality examples. This Gibson banjo uke is an outstanding example of its type. It's a vintage and highly desirable instrument still with its original finish and original plating in magnificent condition and it comes complete with all of its original parts - including its original 'made for Gibson' Geib & Schaefer 'KantKrack' hard shaped case. It has an arrow straight neck, unworn frets and an unworn fingerboard, it still has its original Gibson tension key and it has a vintage Grover 'Non-Tip' maple bridge. Until its recent purchase this banjo uke was owned by the same family since it was purchased new, and they've reluctantly decided to put it up for sale and want it to go to a good home where it will be played, enjoyed, and cared for. This is a great example of a great instrument made by a great company. £3,200. SOLD
GIBSON UB-4 Banjo Uke (1935). £2,750. SOLD
JOHN GREY 'ROY SMECK SUPER' Banjo Uke (c.1928). Roy Smeck was a famous American musician and entertainer known as 'The Wizard of the Strings. This instrument was top of the four banjo ukes in 'Roy Smeck' range. It's in fabulous original condition with its original hard shaped case. The case looks as though it has been through a war and it probably has! With the remains of the word 'ENSA' (Entertainment National Services Association) written on the lid, the indication is that it was once used by an entertainer of the armed services in World War 2 - but sadly we don't know who. This banjo uke is completely original and has never been repaired or re-finished. It has a straight neck and no wear to the frets or the fingerboard and the resonator is easily detachable. Pristine condition inside and out. £795.
LUDWIG 'WENDELL HALL PROFESSIONAL' Banjo Uke (c.1927). In my opinion Ludwig banjo ukes (with Gibson banjo ukes a close second) were the finest ever made, and the 'Wendell Hall Professional' is the least expensive example that you are able to buy. All Ludwig banjo ukes were identical in construction and only differ in terms of their external decoration, and they were only made from 1927 until 1929. Ludwig's highly decorated models are extremely hard to find and fetch a premium price, but as the least expensive (but still pricey) banjo uke in the Ludwig range there are more examples of the 'Wendell Hall' around than any of the others. This example is in beautiful condition for its 95 years and with a lovely playing action and great sound. Made of American Walnut throughout. Straight neck and almost no wear to the frets and fingerboard. Sixteen-fret ebony fingerboard with four inlaid mother-of-pearl position dots. Original tuning pegs. Replacement 'Wendell Hall Professional' transfer on the beautifully re-finished peghead. Original nickel-plating in great condition and original removable armrest and tailpiece. Sixteen original top-tension bolts. Original transfer around the side of the resonator still complete and in great condition. Original 'Wendell Hall' paper label still attached to the inside of the resonator. Original 'Ludwig' top quality calfskin vellum in fantastic condition for its age (stamped on the back). Original cream coloured ivoroid binding around the side of the resonator. Complete with modern lockable hard shaped case with plush black velvet padded lining and internal pocket (containing the keys) with lid. SPECIAL OFFER: £1,450.
LUDWIG 'WENDELL HALL PROFESSIONAL' Banjo Uke (c.1927). Ludwig banjo ukes were made (only for about two years) by the famous Ludwig Drum Company of Chicago, USA. They are widely considered to be one of the best sounding and most desirable banjo ukes ever made, and this Ludwig is no exception. This banjo uke makes a wonderful sound and has been beautifully renovated with a very attractive 'sunburst' finish on the back of the resonator and the back of the neck. Made of American Walnut throughout. Straight neck and no wear to frets and just a few small in-filled areas on the first few playing positions. Sixteen-fret ebony fingerboard with four inlaid mother-of-pearl position dots. Original period vintage 'Grover' friction tuning pegs. Original 'Wendell Hall Professional' transfer on peghead. Original nickel-plating in great condition with original removable armrest and tailpiece. Sixteen original top-tension bolts. Part of the original 'Wendell Hall' paper label is still attached to the inside of the resonator. Great calfskin vellum. Original cream ivoroid binding around the bottom side of the resonator. The last owner only parted with it in order to buy an even higher grade instrument. Great playing action and wonderful sound. Comes complete with modern lockable hard shaped case with plush black padded lining and an internal pocket (containing the key) with lid. SPECIAL OFFER: £1,350.
MARKENDALE GIBSON UB-3 COPY Banjo Uke (1992). Complete with its original Certificate of Manufacture signed and dated by Gordon Markendale, the serial number '002' shows that this banjo uke was only the second one of this style that he ever made. This is a great sounding example in absolutely stunning MINT original condition, with a straight neck and no faults whatsoever! The 'snowflake and diamond' inlays and the 'sunburst' finish are both extremely attractive, but an extra bonus is that this instrument comes complete with a superb lockable, made-to-measure, plush lined hard shaped case, with internal padding and pocket with lid. Only a few of these lovely cases were imported from the USA by Dave Barnes and were sold by him and Eddy Uttley for £150 each. They sold like hot cakes! This banjo uke and case are both in pristine condition. £1,395.
MARKENDALE GIBSON UB-3 COPY Banjo Uke (c.1994). Another lovely banjo uke in MINT original condition. It was made by the late Gordon Markendale who produced fine instruments based upon the designs of the top vintage banjo uke manufacturers of the 1920's such as Ludwig, Gibson, and Abbott. Markendale quickly developed a reputation for making excellent banjo ukes which not only looked good but also sounded good, and they became very popular amongst players and remain popular today. This Gibson UB-3 copy is all original with a straight neck and no wear to the fifteen frets or to the rosewood fingerboard. Grover tuning pegs. Markendale name at the top of the peghead. Original nut. Snowflake and diamond mother-of-pearl inlays on the peghead and fingerboard. Fingerboard bound in cream ivoroid with four black position dots along one side. Fourteen hooks, nuts, and shoes, and original Grover 'Nashville' tailpiece. Very attractive 'Sunburst' finish on the neck, the body, and the resonator. The resonator itself is bound with cream ivoroid and has a decorative ring inlaid into it. Comes complete with a good quality black hard shaped case with made-to-measure plush velvet lining and an nternal pocket and lid. Great value at £1,300.
STROMBERG-VOISINET Banjo Uke (c.1930). These banjo ukes were made to an extremely high standard in Chicago U.S.A. and this instrument is similar to the one shown on page 218 of my book (but with no pyralin - or 'mother of toilet seat' as the Americans liked to call it!). Apart from the replaced tuning pegs,bridge, and strings (and possibly the vellum) this instrument is in totally original condition inside and out. Mahogany neck, pot and resonator. Attractively spliced neck. Inlaid decorative strip around the pot and attractive decoration on the back of the resonator. Pristine ebonised fingerboard (Pearwood?) with fifteen pristine frets and four mother-of-pearl position dots. Arrow straight neck. The high quality calfskin vellum is old but probably not the original one, nevertheless it is a cracker! Nice wide fingerboard. Attractive cut-outs on top of the engraved metal flange which runs around the top and side of the resonator. Cream ivoroid binding around the bottom edge of the resonator. Sixteen flatted hooks, nuts, shoes and a 'Nashville' tailpiece all from the same supplier used by the famous 'Gibson' company. This banjo uke is comfy to hold, it plays beautifully and it produces a lovely sound. I have owned several of these banjo ukes and only sold them reluctantly in order to help purchase much more expensive instruments. They are absolutely fantastic value and I can recommend them unreservedly. This example comes complete with a period hard shaped case with internal lidded pocket. Tremendous value at £650.
VEGA Banjo Uke (c.1927). This banjo uke is absolutely ideal for someone wanting a well-made, light to hold and easy to play vintage instrument. Straight neck and no wear to the frets or the fingerboard. The plating is excellent and it comes complete with its original end-opening canvas case. £295.
WINDSOR 'WHIRLE' No.7 Banjo Uke (c.1929). This banjo uke is an absolute belter! In MINT condition and with its original hard shaped case it is a well made, attractive, light to hold and great sounding banjo uke. It would be a great vintage banjo uke for either a beginner, an average player or even a good player. Windsor made a lot of low end instruments but there rarer top banjos and banjo ukes were fabulous and often the choice of semi-professional and professional players. No wear to the frets and barely any wear to the fingerboard. Original friction tuning pegs. Beautiful shaped and constructed headstock on top of which is the original 'The Whirle' metal badge together with eight attractive mother-of-peal decorative inlaid position markers. Original cream nut. Sixteen-fret ebony fingerboard inlaid with multiple mother of pearl dot and clover leaf position markers. Beautiful spliced maple neck with triple banded decoration. Attractive birds-eye maple pot and resonator. Original bezel. Ten original bottom-tension hooks, nuts and shoes. Original armrest. Original and very attractive 'Windsor' shaped tailpiece.

The largest in the country, Hassan II Mosque is a momentous dedication to the Islamic religion. Its 60-storey-high minaret is topped with a laser, which points to Mecca, the birthplace of the prophet Muhammed - it is the tallest minaret in the world.
Looking out to the ocean, the mosque is partially built on the seabed, creating a picturesque place of worship that over 100,000 people can come to pray in.
The mosque is a sublime piece of Moroccan architecture that defines the grandeur of the style. It is estimated that 6,000 artists spent 5 years creating the traditional Moroccan designs that make up the mosque. The artists used marbles, granites, wood, plaster mould to make the great mosaic of all; the complex that is the Hassan II Mosque.

Robertshaw US Holding Corp (NEW) -- Moody's downgrades Robertshaw US Holding Corp.'s (NEW) ratings, with first-lien and CFR to Caa1 and second-lien to Caa3; outlook stable
December 21, 2020, 4:26 PM ·15 min read
Rating Action: Moody's downgrades Robertshaw US Holding Corp.'s (NEW) ratings, with first-lien and CFR to Caa1 and second-lien to Caa3; outlook stable
Global Credit Research - 21 Dec 2020
New York, December 21, 2020 -- Moody's Investors Service (Moody's) downgraded Robertshaw US Holding Corp.'s (NEW) (Robertshaw) corporate family rating (CFR) to Caa1 from B3, the Probability of Default Rating to Caa1-PD from B3-PD, the first-lien senior secured term loan rating to Caa1 from B3 and the second-lien senior secured term loan rating to Caa3 from Caa2. The rating outlook is stable.
The downgrades reflect expectations for weak near-term results following continued underperformance relative to Moody's expectations, exacerbated by a protracted recovery in key credit metrics from trough demand impacts in the first half of 2020 as a result of a pullback in appliance spending. Moody's adjusted debt-to-EBITDA will eclipse 9x for fiscal year end 2021 (March 2021) and will remain high even with modest improvement during calendar 2021. Lower volumes in the appliance end markets, approximately two-thirds of the company's revenues, with significant weakness in commercial appliances hit hard by restaurant capacity restrictions, will take time to rebound.
RATINGS RATIONALE
The ratings reflect limited scale with a niche focus, exposure to cyclical consumer spending on appliances, the ongoing need for productivity improvements to help offset customer pricing pressure and expected leverage near 9x. Despite cost saving initiatives to improve the fixed-to-variable cost structure, margins have yet to demonstrate consistent expansion, hindered more recently by weaker demand for customers' products. Free cash flow has been fairly solid over the last couple of years, boosting the cash position but has been insufficient to allow meaningful repayment of debt. With moderate earnings growth, Moody's adjusted debt-to-EBITDA is projected to fall to the mid-8x range by fiscal year end 2022 (March 2022).
The ratings are supported by Robertshaw's leading market share positions, end markets that have traditionally grown in-line with normalized US GDP and longstanding relationships with a blue-chip customer base. An aging installed base (i.e. pent up replacement demand) of residential appliances and commercial HVAC systems, as well as largely resilient home renovation spending and accelerating opportunities in transportation, support longer-term growth prospects. An increasingly more variable cost structure and modest capital expenditure needs should promote positive and consistent free cash flow generation.
The rating outlook is stable, reflecting Moody's expectations that revenue growth will approach normalized US GDP expansion with margins resuming a positive trajectory from a low level, boosted by modestly higher volumes, benefits from cost-saving initiatives and planned annual price increases. Free cash flow will be modest but positive, enabling liquidity to remain sufficient to manage through the potential for extended macroeconomic uncertainty.
Liquidity is adequate supported by Moody's expectation for the company to maintain $50 million - $60 million of cash (over $60 million at September 30, 2020) and generate free cash flow of at least $10 million annually over the next couple of years. Robertshaw has an unrated E60 million term loan (expected to be approximately E49 million at December 31, 2020) due December 2023, but otherwise no material debt maturities. The company has an unrated, undrawn $50 million asset-based lending (ABL) facility, set to expire in 2023. This is modest relative to interest expense and potential working capital fluctuations. The ABL is subject to a springing covenant - minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.0x - tested only if excess availability is less than 10% of the facility. The first and second lien term loans do not have financial maintenance covenants. There are no near-term debt maturities and roughly $5 million of annual amortization payments required on the first-lien term loan.
Moody's expects financial policies to be aggressive under private equity ownership including the potential for debt-funded acquisitions and shareholder distributions. Debt-to-EBITDA remains high following One Rock Capital's buyout of the company in early 2018, creating a heavy interest burden and increased vulnerability to financial stress when economic conditions deteriorate as seen in calendar 2020. Further, Moody's expects the modest free cash flow to be focused towards growth investments versus debt repayment, therefore, de-leveraging over the next 18 months will be driven largely by earnings improvement, with earnings momentum building in calendar 2021.
Moody's took the following rating actions on Robertshaw US Holding Corp. (NEW):
- Corporate Family Rating, downgraded to Caa1 from B3
- Probability of Default Rating, downgraded to Caa1-PD from B3-PD
- First-Lien Senior Secured Term Loan, downgraded to Caa1 (LGD3) from B3 (LGD3)
- Second-Lien Senior Secured Term Loan, downgraded to Caa3 (LGD5) from Caa2 (LGD6)
- Rating outlook, Stable
FACTORS THAT COULD LEAD TO AN UPGRADE OR DOWNGRADE OF THE RATINGS
The ratings could be upgraded with the return of meaningful growth in revenues and margins, potentially buoyed by expanding end market opportunities and higher margin new product introductions. Debt-to-EBITDA below 6.5x on a sustained basis and free cash flow-to-debt consistently in the low-to-mid-single digit range would also be necessary for an upgrade. Additionally, accelerated penetration into the electric vehicle market would be viewed favorably. The ratings could be downgraded if debt-to-EBITDA remains above 9x or if the EBITDA margin falls further as a result of the inability to offset reduced fixed cost absorption and customer price concessions. The lack of positive free cash flow, as well as organic revenue growth, or a weaker liquidity profile, including a cash position falling to the $40 million range, would also place downward pressure on ratings.
Robertshaw US Holding Corp. designs and manufactures electro-mechanical solutions, mechanical combustion systems, and electrical controls primarily for use in residential and commercial appliances, HVAC and transportation applications. Revenues for the latest twelve months ended September 30, 2020 were nearly $505 million.

These 3 "Strong Buy" Stocks Are Top Picks for 2021, Say Analysts
Some traditions are too time-honored to shirk, and on Wall Street, the annual 'top picks' are one. Usually made at the very end or very beginning of a year, the Street's analysts publish reviews on the stocks they believe will show the best performance in coming months – their top picks. The analysts have been analyzing each stock carefully, looking at its past and current performance, its trends on a variety of time frames, management's plans – they take everything into account. Their recommendations provide valuable direction for building a resilient portfolio in the new year. With this in mind, we used TipRanks' database to identify three stocks which the analysts describe as their 'top picks' for 2021. Talos Energy (TALO) The Gulf of Mexico has long been known as one of the world's great hydrocarbon production regions, and Talos Energy, which produces some 48,000 barrel of oil equivalent per day from offshore operations in the Gulf, is an important player in the area. Talos finished the third quarter of 2020 running a net loss, but revenues, at $135 million, were up 53% sequentially. The company reported over $353 million in accessible liquidity to end the quarter, including $32 million in cash on hand and $321 million in available credit. In December of last year, and continuing into this January, Talos has firmed up its liquidity situation through issues of senior secured notes. The December issue, of $500 million at 12%, will be used mainly to pay down a previous note issue which comes due next year. The January issue, an additional $100 million, will be used to cover outstanding debt on the reserves-based lending facility. Both note issues are due in 2026. Highlighting TALO as his top E&P pick for 2021, Northland analyst Subash Chandra wrote, "TALO is one of the few companies that we are aware of trading at trailing PDP values without a good reason, in our view. The company has addressed the maturity wall and credit facility stresses with a December equity offering and refi. They enter 2021 with breathing room to cross the finish line with Zama and look for scaling opportunities in GoM." To this end, Chandra rates TALO an Outperform (i.e. Buy), and puts a $19 price target, indicating the potential for 91% growth in the coming months. (To watch Chandra's track record, click here) Overall, with five analyst reviews on file, including 4 Buys and a single Hold, Talos gets a Strong Buy rating from the analyst consensus. Shares are priced at $9.96, and their $14.33 average target gives ~44% upside on the one-year horizon. (See TALO stock analysis on TipRanks) Twilio (TWLO) Next up is Twilio, a Silicon Valley cloud communications company. Twilio's software services allow customers to run their telecom service through their office computer servers, making available not just phone calls but chats, texts, and video conversations. The service includes security features such as user verification. The COVID pandemic, and the shift to remote work that was enforced on the economy, has been a boon to Twilio. The shift put a premium on stable and reliable remote connections and telecommuting, and the company's revenues, which were already strong and showing sequential gains in every quarter, rose to $447 million in 3Q20. Subsequently, Twilio's shares have skyrocketed 225% over the past 52 weeks. Oppenheimer analyst Ittai Kiddron sees the company on a solid foundation for continued growth, writing, "While some puts and takes are in place in 1Q21, Twilio's long-term opportunity remains underappreciated by investors. We believe the company's differentiated product portfolio (communications/data) and evolving GTM approach (hiring/GSI) can drive G2K/int'l adoption/expansion and enable >30% rev. growth at scale (>$4B/$6B) through CY23/24." The 5-star analyst chooses TWLO as a 'top pick,' based on his upbeat analysis of Twilio. That comes with an Outperform (i.e. Buy) rating and a $550 price target implying one-year growth of 41%. (To watch Kiddron's track record, click here) How does Kiddron's bullish bet weigh in against the Street? Overall, Wall Street likes Twilio, a fact clear from the 21 analyst reviews on record. No fewer than 18 of those are Buys, against just 3 Holds. However, the stock's recent share gains have pushed the price up to $388.65, leaving room for just 2% upside before hitting the $396.88 average price target. (See TWLO stock analysis on TipRanks) SI-Bone (SIBN) Medical tech is a field of near-endless possibility, and SI-Bone has found a niche. The company specializes in the diagnosis sand treatment of pain and dysfunction in the sacroiliac joint between the lower back and pelvis. The company's revenues dropped off between 4Q19 and 2Q20, as the corona crisis put a damper on elective medical procedures. That turned around in Q3, when the economy began to open up; many industries, including the medical field, saw a burst of pent-up demand that has not yet dissipated. In raw numbers, SIBN reported a 42% sequential revenue increase for Q3, with the top line at $20.3 million. Year-over-year, revenues were up 26%. During the quarter, the company passed 50,000 iFuse procedures, handled by 2,200 surgeons around the world. The company had $132 million in liquid assets available at the end of the quarter, against $39.4 million in long-term debt. Looking forward, the company guides toward an 8% to 10% yoy gain in full-year revenue for 2020, expecting that top line at $73 million to $74 million. Analyst David Saxon, covering the stock for Needham, says, "SIBN has shown resiliency during the pandemic, and we believe its growth drivers can allow it to beat consensus revenue throughout 2021. Further, we expect SIBN's 2021 sales force expansion, building momentum in surgeon training, upcoming product launches, and direct-to-patient marketing will all contribute to strong revenue over the next few years." Saxon uses these points to support his 'top pick' status for SIBN. His average price target is $35, suggesting an upside of 23%, and fitting nicely with his Buy rating. (To watch Saxon's track record, click here) All in all, SI-Bone gets a Strong Buy from Wall Street, and it is unanimous – based on 5 positive reviews. The shares are selling for $28.48, and their $33.80 average target implies room for ~19% growth over the course of 2021.

Texas Baseball: a YouTube History ('02 and '05)
By billyzane May 28, 200<|fim_middle|> in the 8th and then, in the bottom of the ninth, with a birth in the CWS championship series on the line, Chance Wheeless happened:
Texas went on the sweet the Florida Gators in the best of 3 championship series, with the aforementioned J. Brent Cox strikeout sealing the deal. Here's a full highlight video:
This 2008 team isn't nearly as good as those two teams were, but here's hoping they give us a similar ride regardless. Hook 'em. | 8, 5:31pm CDT
Share All sharing options for: Texas Baseball: a YouTube History ('02 and '05)
As the Texas baseball team enters its regional play on Friday against....no way that's right...St. Johns? They have a baseball team? Whatever. Anyway, as the team enters another postseason, its as good a time as any to remember the previous two national champions (2002 and 2005) and their magical seasons.
And rather than spend time and effort coming up with well-written odes to these two teams, let's just go to the YouTube, why don't we?
First, we whet your appetite with the CWS-clinching strikeout of a dastardly Florida Gator in 2005 by the superbly named J. Brent Cox. The rest of the clips are after the jump.
Turning to the 2002 national championship season, I must note that college baseball isn't a sport for which there is a great supply of YouTube clips. So we've got to go with mostly highlight videos. Because of that, a lot of the individual plays that made the season get lost in the mix without proper context.
Case-in-point: the first highlight of this video was one of the most dramatic plays I've ever seen. Texas led 2-1 with 2 outs in the 8th inning of its first game of the 2002 CWS against Rice. The Rice batter hits a grounder to third, which the third baseman boots into foul territory, the Rice baserunner coming from second tries to score the tying run, and the rest is history.
Also in this clip is Chris Carmichael's home run in the championship game against South Carolina (back then, it wasn't best of 3). Carmichael started all of 16 games the entire season with exactly one home run, but for some reason that only Augie Garrido and his witch doctor understand, he started the national championship game and went deep. For me, this cemented the Augie legend in Texas.
Also not featured heavily in that video was Huston Street. Now the closer for the Oakland A's, it's hard to overstate how dominant he was in 2002. In college baseball, batters routinely his .350. Hell, in 2002 Dustin Majewski hit .401 for the season! And Huston Street posted a 0.96 ERA in 47 innings with a .148 batting average against. In fact, this was just a phenomenal pitching team all around. Starter Justin Simmons went 16-1 with a 2.52 ERA.
Going back to 2005, Texas seemed to just dominate the CWS despite being only a 5 seed, winning all of its games by a combined 24-8 score including a shutout of #1 overall seed Tulane. Only one game was truly in doubt, a 4-3 win over Baylor that Texas trailed 3-2 in the bottom of the 8th. The Horns tied the score | 652 |
Cenero was recently featured in a great article in Business in Focus magazine, read the article here.
Malvern, PA – November 26, 2018 – Cenero, a leader in audio visual, unified communications and IT solutions, today announced it was included in the list of top 50 systems integrators by Systems Contractor News.
The list details integration firms who have generated top revenue in commercial AV installations in 2018. Cenero moved up 11 spots from last year, ranking number 20 on the list.
It is due to this commitment to delivering superior solutions that Cenero's recent work on a large-scale video wall at the Charlotte Douglas International Airport was also recognized by Systems Contractor News as one of their 2018's Installs of the Year. The 140-feet long video wall features digital artwork that fuses technology, art and design to create an immersive traveler experience.
Cenero is a service focused audio visual, unified communications and IT solutions provider. With extensive knowledge of the most advanced collaboration and audio visual technologies, the company's goal is to deliver programs that improve communication and drive efficiency throughout an organization. Cenero provides systems design installation, managed services, cloud-based video solutions and event services for companies throughout North America.
Video wall technology is profoundly transforming the modern travel experience, turning traditional wait times into times of engagement at forward-looking airports around the world — most recently at the Charlotte Douglas International Airport, which just completed a $200-million renovation and expansion of its Concourse A. The nine-gate, 229,807-square foot addition is the first completed project under the Destination CLT initiative, a $2.5 billion capital investment program to renovate the concourses and expand CLT's roadways, curb front, airfield and terminal.
The Concourse A expansion features video walls from NanoLumens®, award-winning creators of uniquely compelling LED visualization solutions in any size, shape, or curvature — and renown digital artist Refik Anadol's unique "data sculptures" that turn the airport's invisible patterns of data into captivating and ever-changing content featured on the three displays. This alluring installation, dubbed "Interconnected,"<|fim_middle|> the list of top 50 systems integrators by Systems Contractor News. The list details integration firms who have generated top revenue in commercial AV installations in 2017.
A recent article in Business View Magazine talks about how Cenero is redefining the rules of the conference room, read the article here. | is a part of a total commitment by the airport to reimagine modern travel through the eyes of compelling and immersive digital experiences.
The centerpiece video wall for Interconnected sits inside the airport's Concourse A and stretches 140-feet wide by 10-feet high. One challenge for Cenero was making sure a screen this large would display a seamless image without bezels and also handle all daytime ambient light coming in through the concourse's many windows.
Cenero installed two additional displays in oddly shaped corners in the gates located at the end of Concourse A that are also visible both inside and outside the airport. The trapezoid-shaped displays measure approximately 28×15-feet in one corner and 40×19-feet in the other corner. Each of these displays also run 24-hours a day and are synchronized with the larger concourse display as each has its own distinct visual chapter.
The continuing trend of audio visual video wall technology turning the time spent at airports into a memorable part of the overall travel experience is on display in a new and exciting way at Charlotte Douglas International Airport.
For the over 44-million travelers that move through Charlotte Douglas International Airport annually, Refik's Interconnected will surely leave a lasting impression.
As for the artist himself, Refik added, "The artwork being displayed is constantly changing and evolving as it responds to the ever-changing flow of data, creating a living snapshot of the invisible patterns that surrounds us as we travel to, from, and within Charlotte Douglas International Airport.

Cramer's game plan: 'Get ready to ride through these troubled waters'
Published Fri, Mar 22 2019 6:31 PM EDT Updated Fri, Mar 22 2019 7:47 PM EDT
Tyler Clifford@_TylerTheTyler_
"We're headed into another week where I think the inverted yield curve will embolden the bears ... [but] the Fed just took us one rate hike too many and now we're all paying the price," CNBC's Jim Cramer says.
Investors should "stay the course," and concerned investors should stick with stocks that have the safest dividend yields "and get ready to ride through these troubled waters," the "Mad Money" host says.
"If you can, I think if you can get in on a piece of the [Lyft IPO] action, you should do it. If you're going to buy it in the after market, you have to use a limit or I'll never forgive you," he says.
Cramer's game plan to ride through 'troubled waters'
An inverted yield curve is not an automatic signal that a recession is around the corner, and investors should be aware that there are bargains on the market, even if the economy is slowing down, CNBC's Jim Cramer said Friday.
Three-month Treasury yields surpassed 10-year Treasury notes Friday and the major U.S. indexes stumbled as the S&P 500 finished its worst day since January. The Dow Jones Industrial Average, pushed by bank stocks, dropped 459 points and the lost 1.9 percent, and the Nasdaq Composite fell 2.5 percent during the session .
Cramer blamed the selling in large part on computer algorithms because yield curve inversions in the past have preceded recessions, most recently in 2007. But he said the machines have no way of differentiating one stock from another.
"People act like this automatically signals that we're going into a recession, but it might signal nothing more than the fact that the Fed should never have tightened in December," the "Mad Money" host said. "We're headed into another week where I think the inverted yield curve will embolden the bears ... [but] the Fed just took us one rate hike too many and now we're all paying the price."
Cramer suggested that investors "stay the course," and concerned investors should stick with stocks that have the safest dividend yields "and get ready to ride through these troubled waters."
His game plan for next week is below:
Monday: Apple, Red Hat
Apple: The iPhone maker will reveal new products on Monday and Cramer said it's time for the tech giant to beef up its services. And he warned, given the stock's run as of late, that the Apple bears are itching for an announcement that's a let down.
"I want them to buy Dexcom and Tandem Diabetes so they can offer diabetics a blood sugar monitor-slash-insulin pump that can be controlled from you cell phone, " he said. "I like this idea better than one more video channel, but if Apple's working on a multi-media bundle I could see why that's intriguing."
Red Hat: Red Hat, the software company that IBM is buying, reports earnings after the close.
"All I want to hear from them is how the business is doing across all clouds, not just IBM's since the merger was announced," he said.
Tuesday: Carnival, Cronos, KBHomes, Ollie's Bargain Outlet, Adobe
Carnival Cruise Line: The cruise company delivers its latest earnings before the bell. Cramer said it will be tough for Carnival to top Norwegian Cruise Lines, but he suggested it's a buy highlighting the 3.54 percent yield.
"I would pick some up with the understanding that things can't be that bad for Carnival if Norwegian's doing that well," he said.
Cronos: Cronos also plans to give quarter results before the market opens. Altria paid $1.8 billion for 45 percent of the cannabis company.
"I love this cannabis theme. Larry Merlo from CVS is introducing cannabidiol-based products, that's CBD, and I wonder whether some of it will eventually come from Cronos," he said. "That said, I still favor Canopy."
KB Home: The homebuilder has an earnings call scheduled after the bell. The company gives a good look into California's real estate market, Cramer said.
Ollie's Bargain Outlet: Shareholders will hear from the retail chain after trading ends Tuesday.
"It's cheap. It's down 18 points from its high for no particular reason. It<|fim_middle|>.
"I think Lululemon has the best momentum in the [apparel] group," he said.
Thursday: Accenture, Footlocker
Accenture: Accenture is expected to report its last quarterly financials before trading opens Thursday.
"This information technology consulting company is terrific at helping clients trying [to] go digital. But, you know what, when it reports it tends to get hit. And then when it gets hit, you do some buying."
Foot Locker: The sports apparel chain hosts an analyst meeting Thursday. The company beat same-store sales and profit estimates in its earnings report earlier this month.
The meeting could give motivation to pick up shares of Nike, which also gave a good report but a tepid forecast, Cramer said.
"I thought Nike was simply under promising and certainly will over deliver," he said. "Apparently China has discovered jogging, which is the sweet spot for the company ... If Foot Locker tells a good story, Nike's stock can run. I would buy Nike ahead of the meeting."
Friday: Carmax, Lyft
Carmax: Carmax's earnings report will give more insight into a weak auto industry, the host said. The used-car dealer will reveal results before the open and could disappoint again, he added.
"I wish I could be more positive about this giant auto retailer that's run so well, but the numbers probably won't add up," Carmer said.
Lyft: Lyft will officially list under LYFT on the Nasdaq to close out the week, and Cramer said it will be "absurdly oversubscribed."
"If you can, I think if you can get in on a piece of the action, you should do it. If you're going to buy it in the after market, you have to use a limit or I'll never forgive you," he said.

Adobe: Adobe holds an analyst Q&A.
"I bet we'll start hearing a lot of good things to make you want to buy the stock regardless of the inverted yield curve," Cramer said. "If I'm right, the pin action could very quickly spread to the other cloud names."
Wednesday: Lennar, Paychex
Lennar: This homebuilder, which gives a better picture about the national market, reports Wednesday morning.
"I think that the last few months have untethered the housing market from anything except mortgage rates and right now mortgage rates are plummeting, so it might be a better time to buy yourself a home or stock," Cramer said.
Paychex: Pachex will report before the open and the giant payroll processor should give investors an idea how the economy is humming or cooling, Cramer said.
"Their last quarter was a fine one. I think this one will be, too," he said.
PVH: PVH holds a collection of recognizable brands such as Van Heusen, Tommy Hilfiger, and Calvin Klein, among others. The company's earnings report comes after the market close. It's a stock with a good story, but there are detractors waiting for it to trip, Cramer said.
Lululemon: After the bell, Lululemon will reveal its latest quarter results | 289 |

Smaragados is a Greek word for green. From there, through similar Latin word, to Emeralds we all love and appreciate. These beryl gemstones are so lovely colored thanks to vanadium or chromium impurities within, and sometimes both, as well as a little bit of iron. Light or darker shades of bluish or even yellowish green stone comes from Brazil, Colombia and Zambia, as a rough emerald.
For some time now, the most beautiful blue green gemstones come from Colombia, and these are highly appreciated. Even so, Zambia's stones found lately were really nice, dark colored and with fewer flaws. Brazil, Zambia and, of course, Colombia, are the best producers of these gems, but they were found on other destinations as well. In any case, the best quality gems should be in medium dark tones of bluish green, with strong or vivid saturation.
Every gemstone symbolizes something. This one is well-known as the stone of heart, and it symbolizes love and compassion, as well as mercy. Emeralds bring balance into your life, not only physical and mental, but also spiritual and emotional. They bring harmony and understanding, positive atmosphere and elevated energy levels.
These stones are great for students, because they promote learning abilities and bring mental clarity. It's easier to focus on something, or to decide what is really important. Since they increase energy levels, remove negative emotions and energies and create more positive atmosphere to work and learn in, they also bring success in all areas of the life, including business, bringing prosperity and wealth.
Emerald's healing abilities are widely appreciated. These lovely stones can regulate your blood pressure<|fim_middle|> for buying them, of course, but if you aren't sure, ask for a professional advice.
When the gem is in its rough state, it isn't so shiny as you expect it to be. Cutting brings out its most valuable qualities, and makes it so shiny and mysterious. On the other hand, rough pieces could also look great if you use them as they are, for making earrings or some other jewelry pieces. They are beautiful in any form, intriguing and magical, luxurious and comforting at the same time. They bring beauty, luxury and balance into your life.

They can be really great in alleviating different inflammation processes, infections and numerous similar problems. They have very good impact on your digestion and can bring relief to people suffering from various muscle and joint issues.
Calming ability of this lovely gemstone is well-known, and that's why it is often used by people ho want to balance their emotions or solve any emotional or mental problem. When it comes to different human relations, it affects positively love and friendship. Better understanding, more positive atmosphere and harmony describe emerald's qualities.
As it was said before, slightly bluish green gemstones with vivid or at least strong saturation and medium dark tone are highly appreciated.

For Dayspring Christian's Caleb Urwiller, a broken collarbone came with a test of faith and a new perspective
Sports | December 23, 2016
Tommy Wood
twood@greeleytribune.com
Dayspring Christian Academy's Caleb Urwill<|fim_middle|> ever, left a football or basketball game to that point.
Urwiller's first game came nine weeks after surgery. Fast may have been more nervous than his player was. Urwiller told himself before the game that he had to give everything if he was going to give anything.
"But at the same time, I knew that if I hurt it again with the plate in there it would destroy my collarbone, and I probably wouldn't be able to do sporting activities anymore," Urwiller said.
Grappling with that, he scored seven points, shot 3 of 4 from the field, grabbed two rebounds, three steals, dished three assists and blocked a shot. In four games this year, he's averaging eight points, three rebounds, 2.5 steals and 1.8 assists per game.
Urwiller's coaches are committed to bringing him along slowly. His injury hasn't allowed him to be fully comfortable on the court. His right shoulder is tighter than normal, and it just feels different every time he moves it.
Dayspring doesn't ask him to shoot jumpers, so the most tangible sign that Urwiller is still hurt his is free-throw percentage, which has cratered to 29 percent from 62 a year ago. The injury completely messed up his shooting mechanics.
"It doesn't move as fluid as something that doesn't have a large piece of metal that stretches all the way across it," he said.
Urwiller has also noticed a reduction in strength from not being able to lift weights while his collarbone was recovering. He's just now able to hit the iron again.
Even as he progresses athletically, it's hard for Urwiller to gauge where he's at. Mundane movements like raising his hand in class — maybe the motion he does the most with his injured arm — feel weird. Areas of his shoulder are still numb because doctors had to cut through so many nerves during surgery.
What lies ahead
His future beyond the spring is uncertain. He's looking to play football at a place like Colorado School of Mines, the University of Sioux Falls or Western State Colorado University. Urwiller said he knows his collarbone is a red flag, as is the fact that he played 8-man football in high school.
"It takes more than just skills to play football," Urwiller said. "You can have all the skills in the world, but you need the heart to compete at it and the mindset. I think I have the potential to do something in college."
He has the patience to not be affected by the things he can't control. The pain of breaking his collarbone, and the pain of the ensuing weeks, taught Urwiller that things won't always unfold the way he planned. And he learned something else, one of life's most important lessons as you transition from teenager to adult.
He learned to let go.

Joshua Polson/jpolson@greeleytri | The Greeley Tribune
On Oct. 7, life was good for Caleb Urwiller. He was the best player on the best Class 1A 8-man football team in Colorado, a versatile, adaptable do-everything guy who played nearly every position on the field at some point.
By that day, Urwiller had scored 22 total touchdowns in just five games, all of which his Dayspring Christian Academy Eagles won. He averaged 18.9 yards every time he touched the ball. In the Eagles' most recent game, a 55-53 win over Haxtun, Urwiller scored all eight of his team's touchdowns — six rushing, one receiving, one kick return — and gained 548 total yards.
The Eagles held a team dinner Oct. 7, before their homecoming tilt against winless Caliche the next day, and as he drove home Urwiller prayed and contemplated God's plan for him. He thought, as he rolled through Greeley's sleepy streets, that God's will should be done and everything would be okay.
"It seems simple, you know?" Urwiller said.
"It takes more than just skills to play football. You can have all the skills in the world, but you need the heart to compete at it and the mindset.— Caleb Urwiller, Dayspring senior
He didn't know how quickly his commitment would be tested. Less than 24 hours later, early in the first quarter against Caliche, Urwiller took a crack block to his right shoulder and immediately knew something was wrong. When he rolled his shoulder over to work out the source of the pain, it felt like golf balls were rolling around in his joint.
Urwiller stayed in the game and made a tackle on the next play. His shoulder felt disconnected from the rest of his body. Nathan Crawford, Urwiller's best friend and a running back/linebacker for Dayspring, knew something was wrong even though Urwiller wouldn't say it.
"Get out, get out," Crawford told his friend. "Don't worry about it."
The pain really hit Urwiller when he took his shoulder pads off on the sidelines. The doctor took one look at him and said, "Those are fragments of bone in there."
Urwiller had broken his collarbone in two places. The "golf balls" he felt were pieces of bone adrift in his body. His shoulder felt disconnected because, well, it was.
"That changed up everything," Urwiller said.
No more football
He had to reckon with the sudden, premature end of his high school football career, and that came with the realization that his dreams of playing college football could be in jeopardy, too. He had to find ways to help his team beyond his physical gifts.
Mostly, Urwiller had to accept that God's path for him was far different than he'd hoped it would be, and he had trust that he was still heading in the right direction.
His first test came the night of his injury. It was homecoming, after all, and Urwiller had a girlfriend to take out. But his arm was immobilized and his painkillers alternately made him sick or had no effect at all. He resigned himself to being dead weight for the night.
Crawford wouldn't let him. Crawford drove Urwiller everywhere, making sure to slow down for bumps. He helped Urwiller in and out of cars, opened doors for him, made sure to include him and did whatever he could to make Urwiller's life easier.
"That was really close to my heart because I know that wasn't something he wanted to do all night," Urwiller said. "It wasn't something his girlfriend wanted to have to deal with."
Longtime buddies Crawford and Urwiller have been inseparable since they met in third grade, and broken collarbones don't change that. Crawford and his girlfriend sat through Urwiller's surgery with him and barely left his side while he was in the hospital. Urwiller left there with his collarbone connected by a metal plate, anchored in place by seven screws.
His most pressing matters became his rehab and the football team that started to slump badly without Urwiller on the field. The Eagles beat Caliche 49-8 but lost their first game of the season the following week.
Urwiller encouraged Dayspring's players as much as he could with uplifting messages. He gave pointers to younger players on technique. He told them how special an opportunity they had before them and how they had to choose to meet that challenge.
No words — nor people — could replace Urwiller's 1,777 all-purpose yards or his quarterbacking of the Eagles' defense. As Dayspring's coach, John Schwartz, said at the time, "I don't have anyone else who can go out there and get me eight touchdowns."
The Eagles kept losing. They dropped the final three games of their regular season and lost in the first round of the playoffs with Urwiller helpless on the sidelines. He wanted more than anything to come back. He timed his doctor's appointments to be right before football games in case one of them came through with a medical miracle.
They didn't. It was easy for Urwiller to stay positive around his teammates, where his speeches and optimism helped himself as much as them. Alone, though, he would start to think to himself that maybe he could have a bad attitude if he wanted. Fear crept to the front of his mind. Questions of "why me?" echoed louder the longer they went unanswered.
In those moments, Urwiller decided to fully give himself to God's hands. It was a lot harder than when he made the same promise before his injury, but no less simple.
"I still don't know a why," Urwiller said. "There was no big revelation to me or anything like that. I just thought that there was nothing I could do about it, so there was no point in having a bad attitude. It was easier to have a good attitude than to mope around."
New sport
It helped that the upcoming basketball season gave him something to work toward. Seven weeks after Urwiller's surgery, he was doing most basketball drills. It's by far his third-favorite sport — after football and track — but he was so happy to be doing anything athletic that Dayspring's basketball coaches had to pull the reigns.
They emphasized to Urwiller that he be honest with them about his pain level, to not jeopardize his long-term health by playing through an injury that he shouldn't. Jason Fast, the Eagles' head basketball coach, even does the unthinkable — he subs Urwiller out of games. The senior had rarely, if | 1,453 |

CNPC sets sights on big increase in shale gas wells and production
China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC) is working flat out to boost its shale gas production and has introduced privately owned drilling services to help deliver the wells lined up for this year and beyond, writes Xu Yihe.
The company has invited a few private drilling contractors listed on the domestic stock market to provide drilling services at a time when a high load of drilling commitments has outstretched the capacity of its its land rig fleet.
In the first 10 months of this year, CNPC produced 4.67 billion cubic metres of shale gas in China as it aims to hit a target of 6.57 Bcm by the end of 2018.
An additional 52 wells are expected to be put into production before the end of this year.
Sources said that CNPC has outlined plans to drill 800 wells from this year to 2020 as it looks to boost shale gas production to 12 billion cubic metres per annum, from the 3 Bcm that was recorded last year.
<|fim_middle|> 6% of national gas consumption in the year.
China's gas demand has been growing by 18% this year, up from an average growth rate of 15% last year, leading to a potential supply deficit of 22.8 Bcm for the whole year. | Another 1300 wells are being planned for the 2021-2025 period to further hike production by 10 Bcm to 22 Bcm per annum.
An even more ambitious target is to raise the number of wells to be drilled to 2300 between the years 2026 and 2030 for an annual production of 42 Bcm.
Upstream understands that for the next 18 years, CNPC has plans to drill a total of 6300 shale gas wells, mostly in the Sichuan basin in the country's south-west.
In November, the company made a breakthrough in striking gas at a reservoir beyond 3000 metres, a depth once considered too technically challenging.
Discovery well 202-H1 flowed 456,700 cubic metres of shale gas when drilling reached 3295 metres in the Chongqing area of the Sichuan basin.
The well also represents CNPC's first commercial discovery in Chongqing's deep reservoirs, where its peer Sinopec is developing the country's largest shale gas field at Fuling.
CNPC plans to raise its shale production in Sichuan by 24% from last year to 3.1 Bcm including 1.75 Bcm from the Changning shale gas play and 1.28 Bcm from Weiyuan shale gas play.
The company is looking to double its shale gas output to 12 million cubic metres per day at Changning between now and March to help meet peak winter domestic demand for gas.
The state company announced at the beginning of this month that it had raised its output to 6.06 million cubic metres per day from 91 wells at Changning, an increase of 160% year-on-year.
Although China has large reserves of shale gas, its overall production in 2017 was only 9 Bcm, accounting for | 413 |
Foreign banks find it difficult to reach the first-rate German clientele. However, it is an unavoidable challenge because Germany is a country full of multimillionaires, where 18,000 ultra high net worth individuals (UHNW) live. Thus, this is the only European country (with four of its main cities: Munich, Düsseldorg, Hamburg and Frankfurt) included in the list of the ten first UHNW cities.
One of the most peculiar features of the rich Germans is their loyalty to their banking institution, with which they remain linked for around 17 years. Nonetheless, foreign banks have problems to reach them, because most of the Germans invest their money in deposits, saving bonds and installment accounts, avoiding equity and market investments.

Q.- Inflation? Deflation? What will come?
A.- The scarce increase in inflation in the euro zone is the product of several elements. We have to take into account the evolution of prices in energy and food, but also the different governmental policies of each state. However, we don't see any deflationist risk; on the contrary: we consider the scarce increase in inflation as a relief for many families, because it encourages the private consumption. I think that, from now on, inflation in the euro zone won't go any lower. It is true we see some deflationist movements in some European countries, but that doesn't mean there is a generalised deflation (understood as a "diabolic" fall, generalised and extended, in the price levels of a wide range of goods and services). Furthermore, we can see an economic upturn.
Q.- Do you also see an economic upturn in Spain?
A.- For me, Spain is one of the countries which is facing its problems with more determination. Of course, it hasn't been and it isn't easy for Spaniards, but I believe it is certainly no in vain. Even though the private sector's debt is still too high, and many banks and cajas are still in trouble, they are all compensating the imbalances thanks to the foreign trade. Spain's competitiveness is also improving, and I think that the economic growth of the third semester in 2013 was not something short-lived.
Q.- How do you see the economic recovery in the euro zone?
A.- I am convinced that the economic recovery is already underway and that the euro zone will grow. It's true it has been a weak upturn, but we will continue to grow from now on.
Be the first to comment on ""Recovery in the euro zone is underway, but we still don't know who will pay the debts"" | .- In Germany, the risk of "Euroscepticism" is on the rise and the government's policies doesn't help much. Mr. Müller, Eurosceptics wonder what did the euro provide Germany, what would you tell them?
ANSWER.- In recent years, we have seen that the common currency involves political and economic costs, which must be assumed by society. Nonetheless, the problem wasn't the euro by itself, but its configuration and the poor compliance of the European regulations. During a period of time, there were doubts about the survival of the euro. However, even though the German State has benefited from liquidity and the low refinancing costs of its debt, the advantages arisen from the euro went mostly unperceived in times of crisis. As the crisis begins to fade, this perception will soon change and the German economy will benefit from the advantages of the common currency.
Q.- You have emphasised the idea that Germany has a responsibility towards the euro, because the country has benefited a lot from the common currency. Which are the criteria of limited responsibility that you demand?
A.- Without any doubt, Germany has a special responsibility in Europe, both for historical reasons as well as for its economic strength, which means that it is our duty to help our European neighbours. And we should do it in the form of an aid conditioned and linked to the commitment to implementing the necessary reforms. Such conditioned aid is in the interest of all of us, and it can serve to successfully fight against the causes of the crisis.
Q.- What does the German private banking say about the European Banking Union and the common deposit guarantee fund?
A.- The European Banking Union is an important project which allow the estabilization of our system for the future, making it less susceptible to the crisis. However, it will take a long time to reach a common European insurance deposit. But it is ok like this, because before talking about a single deposit guarantee fund (SDGF), we will have to be clear about how the single supervisor mechanism (SSM) and the single resolution mechanism (SRM) work. And it isn't clear yet how both should function.
Q.- Germany projects an image quite different from reality: until recently, its debt had always been higher than Spain's. However, German media only talk about the Spanish large debt.
A.- It's true: Spain's sovereign debt has been lower than the German for quite a long time. It is precisely that good public finance situation before the crisis which prevented from seeing the huge imbalance in the current account balance. Spain got heavily indebted abroad in order to finance its internal boom. If we analyse what happened in the property market, it is obvious that the capital wasn't always invested in productive sectors. Such mistake is now being corrected, which involves a considerable burden for Spain. Now the Spanish sovereign debt and the private sector's debt exceed the German's. Be that as it may, Spain has undertook wide and brave reforms, which we consider appropriate for overcoming the crisis.
Q.- Who will pay for the debts at the end?
A.- What we are living right now is similar to a struggle for the distribution of resources. It is yet to be answered the question about who will pay for the largest part so as to reduce the states' huge debt at a reasonable and sustainable price. We don't know yet who will pay for the damages, but something is clear: probably all of us will pay to a greater or lesser degree in the form of higher taxes, less social benefits, negative interest rates or a longer working life.
Q.- Let's talk about the free fall in interest rates. German media criticise the negative effects of the ECB's monetary policy on the German savers and the positive effects on the shareholders. True or false?
A.- True. It is a certain fact that investors in nominal assets (cash and money in bank accounts) are caught in the trap of the real interest rate. Discounting inflation, profitability on the capital invested is usually negative. Thus, private investors, foundations, insurance companies, pension funds and savers in general helps to pay the economic imbalances' costs. In order to avoid such trap, we should reduce the assets invested in fixed income and then invest in profitable assets or businesses. Nowadays, the stock market really offers an alternative to invest diversifying one's savings.
Q.- In the European debt crisis, the ECB has become an important political power, and its president Mario Draghi in the "champion knight" of the monetary union. What does the German private banking think about the ECB's work?
A.- Throughout the crisis, the ECB has surprised the markets several times with its verbal and monetary interventions, and it has made clear that he will do anything so as to guarantee the financial stability in the euro zone. Such measures were decisive in order to appease the general mood, so they have been correct so far. Nonetheless, their price is the current situation, in which investors in nominal assets are barely able to retain their capital because they only generate negative profitability.
Q.- One of the main goals for the ECB is weakening the euro's exchange rate. Is it good for Europe?
A.- First, let me tell you something about the course of the euro. The ECB's monetary policy is not excessively expansive when compared to other big central banks. That's why we can't criticise it for intervening in the exchange rate. Regarding what is good for Europe, it is obvious that having a stable currency is something good. And that's what we have had, despite the crisis of the sovereign debt of the last years. There may be a negative deposit rate, which would involve the ECB venturing into uncharted territory. I think the central bank will think it twice before going there, especially if we take into account experiences such as the Danish one, which shows how banks transferred the negative interest rate to their clients so as to unblock credit, but they achieved just the opposite: clients had to pay higher interest rates for their credits.
Q.- Banks are receiving a lot of credit. What will happen if companies and consumers don't react as ECB's authorities and Mr. Draghi expect?
A.- I'm optimistic. Opinion polls point that companies and consumers are also more optimistic than a year ago. However, the recovery is so slow because many banks from the euro zone have to adjust their balances: that's why credit does not flow to the economy. Many banks prefer to have reserves instead of providing credit. Nonetheless, this is also improving; in the banking system we see how such surplus reserves are diminishing. So the situation is normalising.
Q.- The German Dax continues unstoppable thanks to the economy and the attractive of fixed income versus other investment modalities. What will happen now?
A.- Equity markets are now benefiting from an exceptional situation. On the one hand, the economy is recovering; and on the other hand, the economic take-off is not stable enough so that central banks may stop acting by means of monetary policies. However, in 2014 we will | 1,421 |

*The following food review was written by my good friend Sandor Mark, a writer and fellow gourmet foodie. Photos taken by yours truly. Enjoy!
You may have never heard of Zocalo restaurant, but if you've ever walked far enough down Clarendon Street, you may have turned your head down a certain alley that overlooks I-90. Wander far enough down those alleys, toward the one or two Mercedes parked in front of a valet stand and you'll find yourself outside of a traditional looking Mexican restaurant. With the bright tiling on the walls, first impressions of Zocalo may suggest it is the just another typical Mexican restaurant. Thankfully first impressions aren't everything. Last Wednesday night, Zocalo Cocina Mexicana hosted a Tequila tasting dinner alongside Tanteo tequila. The dinner featured the culinary skill of Chef Ramos as he created a three courses to compliment the three different infused Tanteo tequilas: Jalapeño, Cocoa, and Tropical.
When our group arrived at the restaurant, we were taken down into Zocalo's basement dining room. Far from the tiled décor upstairs, Zocalo's basement dining room looked more like a nightclub than a Mexican restaurant. The color changing mood lights, Pandora radio playing in the background, and the fully stocked bar was everything one could ask for when trying out new tequila.
What makes Tanteo special is that it's infused tequila. Jacob Gordon, a rep from Tanteo explained that it is different from flavored because "flavored liquors are made with syrups and chemicals, whereas Tanteo is infused with all natural ingredients." Surely enough, if you go on their website, you'll see pictures of the Tequila being made with fresh jalapenos and cocoa beans. What's amazing to me is the pepper infusion makes the tequila spicy; nothing unbearable, but just enough heat to add an extra layer to the complexity to Tanteo's flavor.
On our tables were three small wine glasses of Tanteo tequila. For college students, dusting the bottom of glass with a drop of Tequila is hardly enough. We all had our eyes on the many bottles of Tequila on the bar—to look at, but not to touch. It wasn't long until we began joking, "Excuse me, I'm going to need to be topped off." We sniffed and examined the Tequila's in front of us, waiting for someone to give us instructions. My friend turned to me holding the pink tinged tropical tequila, "That's got way more alcohol than the others," he said. When we actually tried them, we were surprised by<|fim_middle|>, Jenn Harvey, a mixologist at Zocalo, created special cocktails to compliment each course. "Each of these dishes and cocktails are designed to celebrate the flavors and traditions of Mexico," explained Jacob Gordon. Both Chef Ramos and Harvey dazzled and delighted us with each course. Too often we go to fine dining establishments and find food that has become a grotesque display. Because of elaborate plating and difficult styles of cooking, fine dining has become more visual art than sensory pleasure. Chef Ramos' culinary skill was both sumptuous and artfully arranged, serving as a reminder that a decadent and luxurious meal can also be satisfying. But what made the meal all the better were the three delicious cocktail pairings.
Jenn's mixologist skills brought an equal amount of innovation, imagination and flavor to the meal. Using Tanteo tequila, Jenn created three different cocktails to compliment the food. Starting with Tanteo's original, Jalapeno infused tequila, Jenn created a new twist on the classic margarita. Mixed with fresh limejuice and orange liquor, the first cocktail was paired with blue marlin tostadas and a cold beef salad called salpicon. The first course of food and drink was refreshing and exciting, giving us the kick we needed to wake up our taste buds. Now that both chef and mixologist had our attention, they brought the timbre down.
For our second course, Jenn created an amber colored concoction using the Cocoa infused tequila, chipotle infused sweet vermouth and amontillado sherry. Matched with a pork chop stuffed with apples and chorizo sausage, the drink was as velvety decadent as the mashed potatoes served alongside our chops. The cocktail and food all felt so luxurious. The flavors and alcohol created an intoxicating calm that can only be found in dimly lit parlors and smoke filled drawing rooms.
For dessert, Ramos created a tres leches de Mango cake, served with a refreshing summer drink, made from the tropical infused tequila, biter hiver and Jarrito's mango. For a moment we could have forgotten it was rainy and dark outside. Down in the basement it was like the sun was setting on Cancun and we were putting our feet up after a hot day.
Tanteo may be a newcomer to the Tequila industry, but when mixed adequately, its sophistication and potential wit makes it a complex brand of Tequila. It certainly blows other brands like Patron and Jose Cuervo out of the water, not necessarily because it's better tequila, but because it's tequila with imagination and class; something that most tequila's aren't known for. At the moment, the only place in Boston selling Tanteo is Bauer Spirits & Wine on Newbury Street, but hopefully it will gain the notoriety it most definitely deserves. | the lack of harsh aftertaste. It turns out the jalapeno's heat balances out the tequila's sweetness" Then when we tried the tropical infusion, four layers of flavor emerged. "You'll find that the flavors come in waves starting with the mango and ending with bread fruit," said Gordon.
The flavors only became more complex as the night progressed. Along with the uniquely crafted food | 79 |
<|fim_middle|> | Museum exhibit highlights the African-American experience in the Berkshires

Pittsfield — Wray Gunn grew up in what he calls a "heavily segregated" neighborhood in Henderson, North Carolina. His family, which consisted of three boys, lived next door to a white family, also with three boys. On Saturdays, it was not uncommon for the six friends to meet at the movies. Despite separate entrances—Gunn and his brothers used the rear entrance while their neighbors used the front door—the boys created a common ground of sorts in the balcony of the theater where, if each trio of brothers sat at the partition, they could enjoy the movies together. This anecdote of Gunn's is but one of many voices featured in "Their Stories: Oral Histories from the NAACP," currently on display at the Berkshire Museum. The exhibit, a collaboration of the Housatonic Heritage Oral History Center at Berkshire Community College and the Berkshire chapter of the NAACP, documents the stories of individual African-Americans in the Berkshires.
Visitors are invited to explore the history of African-Americans in the Berkshires through compelling, contemporary stories from today as recorded by leaders from the local African-American community and the NAACP Berkshire chapter; original portraits by photographer Julie McCarthy bring to life the incredibly rich history of African-Americans in the Berkshires throughout the past 200 years. An illustrated timeline highlighting significant events in the history of the African-American experience in the region, complement the stories and photos. In 1800, the Berkshire County population was 33, 885; the Black population was 494. By 1840, these numbers swelled to 41,745 and 1,333 respectively.
"In my school …we were very few," recalls Evelyn Pratt. "You could count them. The principal called one of the Black brothers in there and they were told, 'Don't ask any white girls out.' They would not allow that at North High School … I was thinking, as they say, 'stay in your lane.'" These anecdotal accounts of growing up in the Berkshires, and elsewhere, are balanced by events with more regional and national significance. For instance, in 1865, the year slavery ended in the United States with the passage of the 13th Amendment, Frederick Douglass lectured in Pittsfield. Interestingly enough, slavery was abolished in 1783 in Massachusetts—through a judicial interpretation of the state constitution—thanks to a crusade led by Elizabeth "Mumbet" Freeman. In 1868, the year the 14th Amendment to the Constitution was ratified—guaranteeing equal protection under the law to all citizens, including Blacks, to whom citizenship was granted—W. E. B. Du Bois was born in Great Barrington; he would later go on to become the first Black person to receive a doctorate from Harvard, and co-found the NAACP in 1909—the Berkshire County chapter was organized in Pittsfield in 1918.
Optimism and faith permeate many of the messages: "Always try to help: if you can help someone, as you pass along the way, then you can live in the world and not be in pain," reflects Magdalene Adams in a paraphrase of one of Martin Luther King Jr.'s famous speeches. She adds, "You have to have patience to see wisdom and faith come alive." Adams served as the president of the local chapter of the NAACP in Pittsfield when it was reactivated in 1983. The following year, Stephanie D. Wilson graduated from Taconic High School and went on to become a NASA astronaut; when she went into space in July 2006 as a crew member of the Space Shuttle Discovery, she requested that James Weldon Johnson's "Lift Every Voice and Sing" be played as the wake-up call for astronauts. Portions of that song—along with the lyrics to 200 other popular songs, not to mention books and poetry—were composed while simultaneously working against discrimination in the early quarter of the 20th century.
"I feel like I've lived into being an African American woman," says Gwendolyn VanSant. "In a way, I was avoiding it as a young scholar wanting to be acknowledged as smart and capable just because I am, not because I was the Black girl in the room. It's very different trying to fit in rather than being honored for my intrinsic value as a human being." This powerful sentiment is balanced by two women on the exhibit's timeline: the first, May Edward Chinn, was born in Great Barrington in 1896; she went on to be one of the first Black women to become a medical doctor. The second, Margaret Hart of Williamstown, became the first Black graduate of the State Teachers College of North Adams in 1935; she went on to become the first Black teacher in Pittsfield. | 1,093 |

What do you do when life gives you snow? Make a snowman. Or if you're in Montréal, celebrate it!
Montreal is a<|fim_middle|> the sound. Also, he can't get enough pho. If you're on one of his tours, he will probably stop to pet a dog and show you where to find the best spots for pho. | city that prides itself on its diversity. Diversity in languages and cultures? Oui! But there's another kind of diversity that is much less touted, less celebrated, less talked about: The climatic diversity.
Montréal is a city with four distinct seasons. Each of them are so unmistakably true to what they are supposed to be, that you could easily visit once per season over the course of the same year and you'd think you'd have seen four different cities. The drastic change in the city's vibe and look, from one season to an other are nature's best example of diversity. The seasons effect on this island city goes way beyond weather.
Winter is the longest season, lasting up to five months. In a city that loves to have a good time, do as the locals do and embrace it. Make it live up to its potential. If it's going to take up such a huge chunk of the year, you'd better make it awesome.
Here are my top five activities to best experience winter à la Montréal.
Quite possibly the heart and soul of the city, this mountain park which gave Montréal its name was designed by famed landscape architect Frederick Law Olmstead, who also designed New York's Central Park. Take a quiet reflective walk through the forests and feel like you've escaped the city. Or head to Beaver Lake and rent a pair of skates and practice your triple axel. You could also rent cross country skis or tubes to go sliding down the hills. There's no better place in the city to experience the magic of winter.
Here's the map of Mont-Royal by 'les amis de la montagne'.
No visit to Montréal would be complete without checking out a festival. This is festival city. With well over a hundred different festivals every year, there are practically no days without at least one festival happening. Even when mother nature sends her harshest winter storms our way, locals cannot help but gather to celebrate everything from music to food, to lights and of course, arts and culture.
Thousands of brave souls dance their butts off outdoors to music by DJs from all over the world. Vintage ski suits encouraged.
Check out this year's line up. Diplo is already sold out, Four Tet plays jan 19th.
Where thrill seekers gather to prove their prowess in all sorts of winter sports.
An overnight extravaganza where hundreds of events happen simultaneously between dusk and dawn because, well, sleep is overrated when you've got Montréal at your fingertips.
It sounds crazy, and you probably won't understand it until you've tried it, but there's nothing like soaking in hot water until you're almost cooked, then jumping into a cold bath. Bota Bota has an amazing water circuit with an enviable location on the icy waters of the St-Lawrence. Part of the facilities are on an old ferry boat. Take full advantage of the views overlooking the old port, old Montréal and the city's skyline while you let the outside world melt away.
Forget what you think you know about this vast pedestrian network connecting buildings all across the downtown neighbourhoods. Fitz's 3 hour fully indoor walking tour brings you through some of the lesser known parts of the network and by the end you'll know the underground city better than most locals. There's some excellent public art along the way. The cherry on top is a ticket included for a trip 185 metres up to the Observatoire Place Ville Marie's indoor observation deck to get a bird's eye view of the city below.
No other city loves hockey as much as Montréal. Okay that statement might instigate a few arguments, but hockey roots run deep here. The first ever official hockey game was played at Montréal's Victoria rink in 1875. Our beloved home team, the Canadiens, is the oldest professional hockey team in the world. For hockey fans everywhere, no matter who your team is, to experience a Montréal home game at the Centre Bell is like going to the temple of hockey. And if the Canadiens win, partaaayyy! The Molson beer goes down pretty well here.
No matter what you end up doing, your winter experience in Montréal is sure to be forever frozen in your memory.

Textual Temporality. Note Quote.
May 11, 2017 AltExploitLeave a comment
Time is essentially a self-opening and an expanding into the world. Heidegger says that it is, therefore, difficult to go any further here by comparisons. The interpretation of Dasein as temporality in a universal ontological way is an undecidable question which remains "completely unclear" to him. Time as a philosophical problem is a kind of question which no one knows how to raise because of its inseparability from our nature. As Gadamer notes, we can say what time is in virtue of a self-evident preconception of what is, for what is present is always understood by that preconception. Insofar as it makes no claim to provide a valid universality, philosophical discussion is not a systematic determination of time, i.e., one which requires going back beyond time (in its connection with other categories).
In his doctrine of the<|fim_middle|> is not possible merely because our part of interpretation is realized only when a "text" is read as a fulfillment of all the requirements of the tradition.
For Gadamer and Ricoeur the past as a text always changes its meaning in relation to the ever-developing world of texts; so it seems that the future is recognized as textual or the textual character of the future. In this sense the text itself is not tradition, but expectation. Upon this text the hermeneutical difference essentially can be extended. Consequently, philosophy is no history of hermeneutical events, but philosophical question evokes the historicity of our thinking and knowing. It is not by accident that Hegel, who tried to write the history of philosophy, raised history itself to the state of absolute mind.
What matters in the question concerning time is attaining an answer in terms in which the different ways of being temporal become comprehensible. What matters is allowing a possible connection between that which is in time and authentic temporality to become visible from the very beginning. However, the problem behind this theory still remains even after long exposure of the Heideggerian interpretation of whether Being-in-the-world can result from temporal being or vice versa. After the more hermeneutical investigation, it seems that Being-in-the-world must be comprehensive only through Being-in-time.
But, in The Concept of Time, Heidegger has already taken into consideration the broader grasp of the text by considering Being as the origin of the hermeneutics of time. If human Being is in time in a distinctive sense, so that we can read from it what time is, then this Dasein must be characterized by the fundamental determinations of its Being. Indeed, then being temporal, correctly understood, would be the fundamental assertion of Dasein with respect to its Being.
As a result, only the interpretation of being as its reference by way of temporality can make clear why and how this feature of being earlier, of apriority, pertains to being. The a priori character of being as the origin of temporalization calls for a specific kind of approach to being-a-priori whose basic components constitute a phenomenology which is hermeneutical.
Heidegger notes that with regard to Dasein, self-understanding reopens the possibility for a theory of time that is not self-enclosed. Dasein comes back to that which it is and takes over as the being that it is. In coming back to itself, it brings everything that it is back again into its own most peculiar chosen can-be. It makes it clear that, although ontologically the text is closest to each and any of its interpretations in its own event, ontically it is closest to itself. But it must be remembered that this phenomenology does not determine completely references of the text by characterizing the temporalization of the text. Through phenomenological research regarding the text, in hermeneutics we are informed only of how the text gets exhibited and unveiled.

Prometheus and Hinduism. Note Quote. | productivity of the hermeneutical circle in temporal being, Heidegger develops the primacy of futurity for possible recollection and retention of what is already presented by history. History is present to us only in the light of futurity. In Gadamer's interpretation, it is rather our prejudices that necessarily constitute our being. His view that prejudices are biases in our openness to the world does not signify the character of prejudices which in turn themselves are regarded as an a priori text in the terms already assumed. Based upon this, prejudices in this sense are not empty, but rather carry a significance which refers to being. Thus we can say that prejudices are our openness to the being-in-the-world. That is, being destined to different openness, we face the reference of our hermeneutical attributions. Therefore, the historicity of the temporal being is anything except what is past.
Clearly, the past is not some occurrence, not some incident in my Dasein, but its past; it is not some 'what' about Dasein, some event that happens to Dasein and alters it. This past is not a 'what,' but a 'how,' indeed it is the authentic 'how' (wie) of any temporal being. The past brings all 'what,' all taking care of and making plans, back into the 'how' which is the basic stand of a historical investigation.
Rather than encountering a past-oriented object, hermeneutical experience is a concern towards the text (or texts) which has been presented to us. Understanding | 319 |

Recording and music
The album was recorded in 1993. The musicians were pianist John Hicks, bassist Ray Drummond, and drummer Victor Lewis. Hicks's playing imitates the vocal style of Billie Holiday: "on 'God Bless the Child', for example, Hicks uses broken chords to imitate the way Holiday would slide into a phrase, build it up and then let it trail off. He preserves the melody of the song but surrounds it with tenderly crushed chords that capture the harmonic and emotional overtones of her singing."
Release and reception
Lover Man: A Tribute to Billie Holiday was released by Red Baron Records in 1993. The AllMusic reviewer described the music as "tasteful, relaxed, melodic and somewhat predictable".

We always have so much fun reading up on home decor, discovering new websites and books on inspiring spaces, new and old trends and great finds. Recently, we made a few small updates in the dining room/breakfast nook area of our apartment, that have made a big impact on the space. A few small additions are really making it feel more homey.
We shared a peek into this room a while back, but there was still a lot that just felt unfinished. We are renting, so there is a limit to the amount of work we can (or should) do in each room. Thankfully, for us, the walls were painted a great shade of white (we opted out of the traditional accent wall), which makes the room feel bright and airy, and was a great starting point for us. There wasn't a light<|fim_middle|> selection of rugs, pillows and throws for all different rooms and styles. The design we chose from their Grand Canyon Collection is somewhat simple, but we feel it really pulls the room together, making it feel cozy and complete. We love it.
To finish off the space, we added some plants and this cool cactus skeleton from our friend's local flowershop, around the hanging print. We love the texture it adds to the space. Our family back east always joke around with us about how much we've really embraced "desert style". Although we don't see a huge southwestern influence in our decor, always mixing in different elements and styles, we definitely love all the plant life and natural tones the desert has to offer.

We scored this John Vogel dining table on sale a while back when we were still living in our old apartment, and were so happy that it fit perfectly here in our new space.

Phoenix has some amazing vintage furniture shops (see some of our favorites here), but before we discovered them we found some nice vintage-lookalikes on Overstock, which is where we found these dining chairs. We've had them for over two years now and they're still going strong. The seats are super easy to wipe clean too, which is always a plus (and something we think about when buying furniture).
One of our favorite parts of this little nook is the rug. The living room and kitchen/dining area are all pretty close to each other, so we didn't want it to feel confusing to the eye with too many patterns and prints going on. We found so many pretty shag rugs with different patterns and designs, but thought it might have been too much, so we opted for a neutral camel and beige cow hide inspired rug from Loloi. We found them a while back when we were shopping for pillows. They have such a huge | 344 |

When heat strikes in summers, it is the time to take care of your fur animal. Dogs do not have the sweat glands to calm themselves. Keeping your dog cool in summers is very important in order to avoid unpleasant and dangerous conditions. Water can be the fun activity for you and your dog to prevent heat. That's why swimming in summers with your dogs is one of the most relaxing activity to opt.
Not all dogs are good swimmers and love water. However, there are some large breeds like the golden retriever, labradors etc are considered to be the good swimmers and love to swim along with their owners. But you can also train your small breed pup like the pug, with the basic swimming sessions firstly in a small tub. With the help of tossing a stick or ball<|fim_middle|> weight within weeks. Now, her owner regularly takes it to the resort for swimming and other exercises to keep it fit and active.
Hence, it is the best place to keep your dog fit and happy, they also get a friendly interaction environment to play with other owner's dogs.

1. Teach your dog how to get in and out of the pool. You can also guide your dog the way of stairs or ramp to get into the pool.
2. Check the water temperature before you let your dog go into the water.
3. Make sure your dog will not suffer from sunburn.
4. Don't force your dog to get into the deeper water if it feels scared of going into it.
5. After letting your dog into the water make sure that it is at the appropriate depth of water.
6. To prevent the ear or nose infections, rinse your dog with fresh water once it came out from the pool.
7. Life vests are also available to provide all time safety of your dog.
8. Put a small barrier or fence around the pool when it isn't time to swim to keep your dog away from it.
In a recent interview, Mr. Kuldeep owner of Pet Lovers Hut, Gurgaon has shared some of the deep down aspects of dog's swimming. According to him, swimming has enormous merits in terms of maintaining dog's fitness, boosting up their energy level, and increasing their lifespan. He says dogs become aggressive by following a monotonous routine every day, also sometimes acts very lethargic and sad. Apart from natural remedies, they require factors like natural wind, sunshine, and water to build their stamina.
The swimming habit can protect them from health concerns and you can avoid going to vets every time. "Here in Pet Lovers Hut, we take care of your dogs and provide them a healthy and carefree atmosphere to exercise and swimming", he added. Also, he recommends changing the pool water in his resort at least once in a week to avoid infections.
One of his experience is related to a sick dog that came to his resort a few years back, it was fat, non-active and her owner was very depressed by this. Swimming helps her dog to become active again and also lose | 430 |
The Cenozoic–by Raul Esperante
Figure 1: The mayor subdivisions of the geologic column.
The Cenozoic is the uppermost of the three major divisions of the Phanerozoic, the other two being the Mesozoic and Paleozoic (Fig. 1). The term Cenozoic (or Cainozoic) means "recent life," implying that the fossils encountered in these layers are more similar to modern species. Geologists divide the Cenozoic into three major systems, being, from bottom to top: the Paleogene, the Neogene, and the Quaternary. The Paleogene, is further subdivided into Paleocene, Eocene, and Oligocene, the Neogene into Miocene and Pliocene, and the Quaternary into Pleistocene and Holocene.
Lower Paleocene layers are characterized by low diversity of terrestrial fauna and flora and of marine organisms, but diversity increases upwards through the layers. Plant fossils look very similar to modern species of tropical, sub-tropical and deciduous plants, including cacti and palm trees. Most fossils of mammals are only known from teeth and partial skeletons of small<|fim_middle|>ible in North America, Russia, and the Nordic countries, as well as in mountain ranges in Asia and Europe. At the last glacial maximum, sea level decreased considerably.
During the Holocene, the global temperature rose and much of the ice that covered the northern hemisphere melted causing rapid sea level rise.
Figure 2: A perfectly fossilized palm frond associated with fish, from the Eocene Green River Formation, North America. This type of flora is indicative of a more subtropical climate than at present.
Figure 3: A Pleistocene fossil toxodont from Argentina.
Two trends of interest emerge from this simple review of the Cenozoic fossil record. The first is that the fossil fauna and flora do not differ markedly from what observed today in terms of structure and major higher taxonomic groups. In other words, the type of life documented in Cenozoic layers does not appear to be fundamentally different from what seen in the modern world. The second is the importance played by climate patterns in shaping the geologic record of the Cenozoic, with a major trend for climate deterioration and establishment of glaciation, only recently reversed. Both these macro-scale observations could fit well with a model of the Cenozoic as representing geologic, climatic, and biologic processes unfolding in the post-flood world.
By Raul Esperante, PhD | insectivores, herbivores, and carnivores. Most notable are the marsupial mammals, which make up more than 50% of the mammal species in the Paleocene layers of the southern continents.
Eocene fossils are recognizable as having body plans similar to living species. Geologic data suggest that there were no ice caps covering Earth's poles and that latitudinal differences in temperature were small. Warm climate predominated in many regions of the planet facilitating the growth of large forests on Earth from pole to pole, recorded now as extensive fossil deposits of tropical to subtropical plants even in Arctic regions (Fig. 2). Tropical rainforests grew even in northern latitudes of North America and Europe. Toward the end of the Eocene, the evergreen forests were replaced by grasslands, plains and deciduous trees in North America, Eurasia and the Arctic. Similar changes happened in Antarctica, which became covered with tundra.
The first fossil representative of most of the modern mammal orders appear in the lower layers of the Eocene. A remarkable feature about these fossil mammals is their very small size compared to similar faunas of contiguous Paleocene and Oligocene deposits. Some reptiles, however, were very large, including Titanoboa, a large snake found in South America, and other reptilian megafauna. Birds are also abundant in Eocene layers, as well as fossil insects preserved in amber. Eocene layers also preserve many vertebrate fossils that lived in the oceans, including large carcharinid sharks, Basilosaurus (a large marine mammal), and sirenians.
The Oligocene sedimentary layers preserve a record of decline in temperatures, expansion of ice sheets, and global sea level fall. Important mountain building activity took place during the Oligocene, including areas such as the European Alps and western United States. In general the fossil fauna of the Oligocene, both on land and in the ocean, resembles that of modern organisms, except in South America, where large-sized litopterns, notoungulates and toxodonts (extinct orders of hoofed mammals), and extinct marsupial types lived. Some of these groups are found fossilized even in overlying strata, up to the Pleistocene (Fig. 3).
Miocene deposits record further cooling of the Earth and the extension of ice caps on both hemispheres. The Alps in Europe, the Andes in South America, and the Himalayas in Asia continued to rise, forming some of the greatest mountain ranges in the planet. Extensive grasslands allowed grazers such as horses, rhinoceroses, hippos, ground sloths, and also browsers such as camels, to thrive. All or almost all of the modern bird groups, including marine birds, are present as fossils in Miocene rocks. Marine fossils are abundant, including many specimens of marine mammals and other vertebrates. The abundance of biogenic sediments in Eocene strata indicate that the oceans sustained highly productive communities of microscopic algae (diatoms and other phytoplankton), which formed thick accumulations of diatomaceous sediments containing rich and exceptionally preserved fossils of marine mammals, birds, and reptiles.
Pliocene layers record frequent and significant sea level changes, linked to contraction and expansion of ice sheets. Fossil Pliocene vegetation indicates a reduction of tropical species worldwide. Much of the northern hemisphere was covered by deciduous forests, coniferous forests and tundra, with grasslands spreading on all continents but Antarctica. A significant feature about the Pliocene fauna is gigantism: many species of land habitats were of large size, including mastodons, rodents, ground sloths, armadillos, glyptodonts, etc.
The Pleistocene record is dominated by the effects of glaciations that shaped the landscape in ways still discern | 788 |
15 Stunning, Easy-to-Reach Lakes in Jasper National Park
December 9, 2021 June 3, 2021 • Nick Kembel
Dear reader: This article contains links to products and services that I may be compensated for, at no extra cost to you.
Jasper National Park is the second-most visited of Alberta's five national parks. But compared to its more popular cousin to the south (Banff), Jasper is nearly twice as large, and every bit as beautiful, making it one of<|fim_middle|>-time passion project. I've always been drawn to the religious centers and spiritual sights of the world. After years of backpacking, I now call two places home: Edmonton, Canada and Taipei, Taiwan. When I'm not writing or compulsively planning every detail of our next family trip, I'm most likely playing dinosaur games with Sage and Lavender, my two kids | the most compelling places to visit in Alberta.
You may notice that there seems to be jaw-dropping lakes everywhere you look in Jasper. This is because during the ice age, the entire Athabasca River basin, which today covers a quarter of Alberta, was a huge glacial lake. Jasper's lakes today are mostly kettles, or holes made by the movements of glaciers, now filled with residual water from that huge lake.
You'll also notice that lakes in Jasper have a vivied turquoise color. Most of them are glacier-fed, so they contain silt from the rubbing of ice on rocks. This suspended silt lights up under the sun's rays, giving the water that exquisite hue that we all journey from afar to gaze upon.
My kids at the Valley of the Five Lakes in Jasper
Now that we got all that fun science covered, let's get down to business. What are the most beautiful lakes in Jasper? In this article I've narrowed it down to the best of the best, sticking to ones that are easily reached on a road trip from Edmonton or beyond, whether you're simply looking for a casual stroll or you're traveling to Jasper with kids. For serious hikers, there are countless alluring alpine lakes in Jasper calling your name, but we won't name them here.
I'll start with the best lakes in Jasper town, then over to lakes accessed from the Yellowhead (Highway 16) northeast of town, and finally lakes along the Icefields Parkway (Highway 93) heading south toward Banff.
To continue lake-hopping south, see my guides to the best lakes in Banff, lakes in Canmore & Kananaskis, and Waterton Lakes National Park.

The following lakes are all located within 10 minutes' drive of Jasper Townsite, and most can even be walked to from town.
The first two are located to the west of town, while the next four are all located on the east side of the Athabasca River near Jasper Park Lodge.
Patricia and Pyramid Lakes are two gorgeous twins located just northwest of Jasper townsite.
Patricia Lake is named after Princess Patricia of Connaught, granddaughter of Queen Victoria. The lake even contains a WWII wreck and underwater memorial plaque that divers can visit.
Like Pyramid Lake, Patricia Lake offers grand views of Pyramid Mountain from its eastern shore, with reflections of the mountain on the lake on calm days. I must admit, though, that the mountain looks more commanding from Pyramid Lake because, which is closer to it.
There are two easy hikes near the lake: Patricia Lake Circle and Patricia Lake North Loop. The former starts before reaching the lake, while for the latter, you can park at the lake's small parking area.
Patricia Lake Bungalows (see on Booking / Agoda / TripAdvisor) offers quaint cabins on the south shore of Patricia Lake.
Getting to Patricia Lake: Follow Pyramid Lake Road from the center of Jasper all you'll reach Patricia Lake in only 4.5 km (five minutes). There's a small parking lot along the shore of the lake before the road continues north toward Pyramid Lake.
Pyramid lake is Jasper's most famous lake, along with Maligne Lake (see #8). The lake's classic viewpoint is of the wooden walkway to Pyramid Island (see picture above), with mighty Pyramid Mountain looming in the background.
Pyramid Lake is a popular spot for stargazing and watching Northern Lights, keeping in mind that Jasper is an official Dark Sky Preserve.
Taking a stroll on Pyramid Island is a must. Watch for the Pyramid Island Picnic Shelter, a recognized Federal Heritage Building built in 1933.
Several decent hikes start at Pyramid Lake, including Pyramid Lake Loop, Pyramid Lake Overlook, and the difficult trail up Pyramid Mountain.
My daughter ice skating on Pyramid Lake. Quintessential Canadian experience!
In summer, you can rent bikes, canoes, or kayaks from Pyramid Lake Resort.
In winter, Pyramid Lake is a great place for snowshoeing, sleigh rides, or ice skating on the patch of ice cleared off beside Pyramid Lake Resort (see on Booking / Agoda / TripAdvisor), a gorgeous hotel on the lake shore. The skating rink open to the public and free.
For more incredible places to skate in the Alberta Rockies, see my guide to visiting Banff in winter.
Getting to Pyramid Lake: Pyramid Lake is just a few minutes up the road from Patricia Lake. You'll see Pyramid Lake Resort right away on the right. A few minutes past it you'll reach the parking lot for Pyramid Island.
Beauvert Lake (often referred to by the French "Lac Beauvert") is the closest major lake to Jasper townsite and is famously located right beside Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge (see on Booking / Agoda / TripAdvisor), Jasper National Park's most renowned hotel.
Besides witnessing the stunning blue-green color of the water, most people come here to walk the easy walking or cycling loop trail around the lake (3.4 km, one hour). The trail is stroller friendly but can get muddy at times.
There are also walking trails connecting Beauvert Lake to Mildred Lake, Treffoil Lake, and Annette Lake to the north, and Old Fort Point, a great hike overlooking Jasper, to the south of the lake. You can also swim, canoe, or kayak on the lake.
Getting to Beauvert Lake: You can access the lake from Jasper Park Lodge, but I don't recommend it because it can be confusing to find the way.
A much better way is to park at the small parking lot on the south side of the lake, opposite Japser Park Lodge, which you can access on Old Fort Road from the south end of Jasper. Don't use GoogleMaps to get to the lake, which will just lead you to Jasper Park Lodge.
Mildred Lake is a smaller but equally beautiful lake also located right next to Jasper Park Lodge.
There's no round-the-lake walking trail, but a trail along the Athabasca River connects Mildred Lake with Beauvert Lake to the south and Annette Lake to the north.
Mildred Lake is especially known for its winter ice skating loop, maintained by Jasper Park Lodge.
Getting to Mildred Lake: There's a parking area for Jasper Park Lodge at the south end of the lake. It can be very busy.
Yet another stunner among the collection of lakes just east of the Athabasca River and Jasper townsite, Annette Lake is especially popular for small Lake Annette Beach on the northern shore.
This is one of the best places to go swimming or spend the day on the beach in Jasper, especially if you've got little ones.
Lake Annette Loop is an easy walk around the lake (2.7 km, less than one hour) that is kid-friendly and stroller friendly, with numerous benches for admiring the lake. It is even possible to do the hike around the lake in winter.
Watch for Ochre Lake, a quicksand-filled lagoon on the northeastern shore.
Getting to Annette Lake: Access is from the Moberly Bridge over the Athabasca River at the start of Maligne Lake road just north of Jasper townsite. The parking lot is at the north end of the lake, near the beach. Edith Lake (see below) can be accessed from the same parking lot.
Love national park hopping? Read my introduction to each of Canada's national parks.
The fourth (and last) in this collection of lakes on the eastern bank of the Athabasca River near Jasper townsite, Edith Lake is popular among locals and slightly removed from the tourist crowds of the above three lakes.
Along with Annette Lake, Edith Lake makes for a quick and easy stop if you're just passing through Jasper, as it is just a few minutes off the Yellowhead Highway.
There are several day use areas and the lake is one of the better ones for swimming as it isn't quite as freezing cold as most.
Getting to Edith Lake: Park in the same parking lot as Annette lake for the southern end of the lake, or access various spots on the north end of the lake by taking the small turnoff further up Maligne Lake Road.
The next four lakes are accessed from the Yellowhead Highway (Highway 16) northeast of Jasper Townsite, so you could see these first if driving into Jasper National Park from Edmonton or other places to the east (see my guide to the best things to do in Edmonton here). This also means that they could be visited as day trips from Edmonton.
Medicine Lake and Maligne Lake are in the Maligne River Valley, where Maligne Canyon, one of Jasper's most popular attractions, is also found. Talbot and Jasper Lake are closer to the eastern entrance to Jasper National Park, so if you're driving in from the east, these will be the first lakes tempting you to stop.
Medicine Lake is a long, thin lake in the Maligne Valley Watershed. This is a valley where lakes and rivers disappear into underwater sinkholes, only to resurface kilometers away. As the crow flies, the lake is directly east of Jasper townsite.
The lake is roughly halfway between the highway and the more popular Maligne Lake, but absolutely deserves a stop. There's a small parking lot and viewpoint at the western tip of the lake as you first arrive, with a staircase leading down to the water (see above photo).
It's also a pretty awesome drive along the northern shore as you continue on toward Maligne Lake. Don't give in to the temptation to stop, though, as the road here is prone to landslides.
Getting to Medicine Lake: It's a 20 km (20 min) drive from Moberly Bridge on the Yellowhead north of Jasper town to Medicine Lake, on Maligne Lake Road. You'll pass Maligne Canyon on the way, one of Jasper National Park's most famous attractions.
Medicine Lake in winter
Secret Tip: On the way to Medicine Lake, watch for the Lower Maligne Day Use Area, marked by an outhouse and a small parking lot on the right, from where a short trail follows the river to two of the famous Canada Parks Red Chairs in a pristine spot.
Is Alberta Canada's most beautiful province? Images like this make me want to say yes.
If you've ever seen a postcard of Jasper National Park, there's a good chance it had a picture of Maligne Lake on it (if it wasn't a bear or moose, that is).
This iconic view is of Spirit Island, a tiny island connected to the shore in the lower third of this super long, thin lake. The lake is the largest in all of the Canadian Rockies. The only way to get there is by taking a lake cruise, which has even been described as the most beautiful cruise in Canada.
This is an extremely popular activity, so of course you are going to want to book it well in advance. If you don't take the cruise, you can still explore the lakefront, but views are fairly limited. One short trail follows the north shore of the lake for a few minutes.
A lonely cabin on Maligne Lake in winter
Come here in winter and you'll have the lake practically to yourself.
Getting to Maligne Lake: The lake is 43 km (40 min) from Moberly Bridge on the Yellowhead Highway, along Maligne Lake Road. Budget 45 minutes to get there from Jasper. Watch for wildlife along the way!
When driving into Jasper National Park from the east (such as Edmonton), Jasper Lake is the first lake you'll actually have a chance to stop at.
Except, surprise! It's not really a lake. Jasper Lake is actually just a very wide section of the Athabasca River, but it's depth and size qualifies it as a lake.
This is a very popular spot, perhaps because it is one of the first places to actually stop and admire the Athabasca River scenery you've been seeing from your car so far.
If you walk along the shore, you can actually find some beaches and sand dunes along the lake.
I also recommend Jasper House National Historic Site, a few minutes before the lake (when driving in from the east), which has a short walk and view over the river just before it becomes a lake. There's a small parking lot and outhouse there as well.
Getting to Jasper Lake: There are usually tons of cars parked in the long space between the highway and lake, and there are a few outhouses. It is 30 km (22 min) north of Jasper Townsite on the Yellowhead.
Drive slowly through this bit, as there are often tourists not paying attention (as well as wild animals) walking on the highway.
On the other side of the highway from Jasper Lake is the smaller Talbot Lake. For a few minutes, the highway travels along a thin strip of land between Jasper and Talbot Lakes, so you'll have gorgeous lakes on either side of you.
Even though you'll look over Talbot Lake from the highway, it feels more secluded if you actually stop and visit it. A lot of people come here for kayaking or canoeing on the lake. The lake is also full of pike, so it's a popular fishing spot.
The scenery is fantastic.
Getting to Talbot Lake: A small parking lot provides access at the southern end of the lake. If driving in from Edmonton, you'll be driving along the lake for a while before you see it. It's the same distance from Jasper as Jasper Lake (see above).
If you'd like to stay in this part of Jasper, Pochahantas Cabins (see on Booking / Agoda / TripAdvisor) and Jasper East Cabins (see on Booking / Agoda / TripAdvisor) are two popular options.
Traveling south from Jasper Townsite, Highway 93 connects Jasper and Banff National Parks. Called the Icefields Parkway, it is considered one of the most beautiful drives in the world.
Our final four lakes are found along this drive. Each of them requires a short hike, but all are doable with young kids.
Here you get not one but five stunning lakes with incredibly clear water and quintessential Jasper National Park scenery.
It only takes about 30 minutes on an easy trail to reach a small loop around the second, third, and fourth lakes, which are considered the most beautiful. You can hike to all five lakes in 1.5-2 hours return.
Because these trails are easy walking, this is one of the best hikes to do in Jasper with kids.
Getting to the Valley of Five Lakes: The parking lot and trailhead are 10 km (11 min) south of Jasper townsite on Highway 93.
Mt. Edith Cavel Reflecting in Cavell Lake
A short and super easy 0.8 km (30 min return) hike will bring you to this gem of a lake, where you can see one of Alberta's most recognizable mountains, Mt. Edith Cavell (3363m), reflecting on the lake.
The mountain and lake were named after a British nurse who saved the lives of many soldiers from both sides during WWI.
Getting to Cavell Lake: You'll need to turn off Highway 93 onto 93A, then turn onto Edith Cavell Road and follow it up for 13km. The trail leading down to Cavell Lake is beside HI Mount Edith Cavell Wilderness Hostel, but park on the side of the road and not in the hostel's parking lot.
Angel Glacier and Cavell Pond
If you've made it as far as Cavell Lake, be sure to continue up the road and walk the start of the Edith Cavell Meadows hike, which provides access to the awesome Cavell Pond.
The hike is 8.4km in total, but you don't have to walk very far to reach Cavell Pond, a gorgeous body of water at the base of Mt. Edith Carvell and Angel Glacier, which you can see hanging high above the pond. The pond usually has ice flaoting in it, even in summer.
Heads up that bears are often sighted around here.
Getting to Cavell Pond: To access the start of the hike to Cavell Pond, drive to the end of Edith Cavell Road, just a few minutes past the hostel.
Want to jump off some cliffs into a gorgeous Jasper lake? Here's your spot!
An easy, 1.6 km trail along the southern shore of the lake leads to various points that are highly suitable for jumping in. Just take care, make sure you're jumping into deep enough water, and that you'll also have a way to get back out.
Even if you aren't going for a swim, the trail offers breathtaking views over the lake and is suitable for young kids. It can be a very popular spot on hot summer days.
Getting to Horseshoe Lake: There's a small parking lot right on Highway 93 about four minutes before Athabasca Falls. It is 28 km (22 min) from Jasper townsite.
There are very few hotels along the Icefields Parkway. You can try Jasper House Bungalows (see on Booking / Agoda / TripAdvisor), HI Athabasca Falls (see on Booking / Agoda / TripAdvisor), or Glacier View Lodge (see on Booking / Agoda / TripAdvisor).
For camping, you can book spots at Whistlers, Wapitit, or Wabasso, or try the first-come-first-serve campgrounds of Kerkeslin, Honeymoon Lake, Jonas, Icefield, or Wilcox.
The only lake on this list that you can camp beside, pretty Honeymoon Lake has a small, first-come-first serve campground with 36 sites and a small day use area. Come early in the day for any chance of getting a spot!
The lake is in a very quiet, peaceful location surrounded by mountains. Come at the right time and you'll see them reflecting in the water. No wonder they called it Honeymoon Lake!
If you're heading to Banff National Park next, be sure to consult my recommended Banff itinerary and guide to Banff's most beautiful lakes.
Getting to Honeymoon Lake: The campground and lake are just off Highway 93, six minutes before Sunwapta Falls, and 52 km (40 min) from Jasper townsite.
Fun side trip: Check out the famous methane ice bubbles on Abraham Lake in winter.
Swimming is permitted at almost all lakes in Jasper. The only thing stopping you is the icy cold temperature of the water! Some of the best places for swimming in Jasper are Lake Annette Beach, Edith Lake, and Horseshoe Lake, which is known for cliff diving.
Winter lasts longer in the Canadian Rockies. Most lakes in Jasper National Park don't fully melt until May or even early June. They usually begin freezing again in late September to October, but it takes a few months before the ice becomes thick enough to skate on.
The best lakes for ice skating in Jasper are Pyramid Lake and Mildred Lake. You can also usually skate on Snaring River, around Snaring Road. It may also be possible to skate on Annette Lake, Edith Lake, Horseshoe Lake, Medicine Lake and Maligne Lake, but conditions are variable and the ice could be bumpy or not well maintained.
Never skate on a lake without first confirming that the ice is thick enough. People fall though lakes and even die every year.
Yes, fishing is allowed in most lakes in Jasper, and there are loads of fish. You must have a National Parks fishing license (different than provincial licenses) and familiarize yourself with the different regulations. See more information here.
No, drinking is not permitted in public places in Jasper, including lakes or beaches. Drinking is only allowed in campsites, private residences, or licensed areas such as bars or restaurant patios. Note that drinking is also banned at some campsites on long weekends.
There's a public swimming pool at Jasper Fitness & Aquatic Centre (address: 305 Bonhomme St), which is located at the western side of town, near Jasper Elementary School and Jasper Museum.
The following hotels in Jasper National Park have swimming pools. Only Jasper Park Lodge has an outdoor heated pool, while the rest are indoor pools.

Eli Ferrell's journey of compassion: From D.C. internship to sustainability on campus
Sullivan Shubert
Eli Ferrell, a Lawrence<|fim_middle|> on an individual level, but … I felt like government was more applicable to what I potentially might do," he said.
Sullivan Shubert '23 is a student writer for the Office of Communications at Lawrence University. | University senior, wants to use his recent experience in the Washington Semester program to pursue his passions.
The government major from Mill Valley, California, spent the fall in Washington, D.C. He attended the Washington Semester program through American University, which included a congressional internship with U.S. Rep. Ron Kind of Wisconsin, and he hopes it'll be a stepping stone to eventually working as a congressional staffer for the House Agriculture Committee or the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
The Washington Semester program is open to Lawrence students of any major. The participating students study for a semester at American University while also pursuing both a relevant internship and an independent study project.
Arnold Shober, professor of government, serves as an advisor for the program, which can include study of American politics, international environment and development, international law, justice, conflict resolution, foreign policy, and global economics, among other topics. Any student interested can explore these topics in a governmental setting.
Learn more about the Washington Semester program
For his internship, Ferrell worked for Kind, who has represented the Third Congressional District of Wisconsin since 2007.
"I did a lot for him," Ferrell said. "I helped write co-sponsor requests and scheduling requests, I wrote briefings for relevant memos. Did a lot of constituent correspondence... compiled press on the congressman on a daily basis; in the morning I would go in and compile the relevant news he was mentioned in so he'd be aware what was going on."
A bevy of Lawrence experiences
Ferrell's list of accomplishments at Lawrence is already impressive. It started with him participating in the Triple Crown, a series of 200-mile bike races held every year in northern California.
"Freshman year, I was super involved in the bike team," said Ferrell, who also said "people knew me as 'the bike guy.'"
Ferrell found himself on his path against suffering during Fall Term of his sophomore year. Interested in religions and wanting a hands-on experience, he traveled to Bodh Gaya, India, the place where the Buddha is said to have been enlightened.
"I really just wanted to travel," Ferrell said. "I think you learn so much more through experiences, or at least, remember more through experiences."
While in Bodh Gaya, Ferrell stayed in a monastery and studied various Buddhist sects.
Ferrell's studies also included Buddhist-Muslim conflicts, for which he journeyed into rural Myanmar (formerly known as Burma) to talk to local Buddhists about Myanmar's Muslim communities.
Ferrell also has found ways to make positive impacts on campus and in Appleton.
"I was in LUCC my first two years; that was a hoot, a lot of fun," he said.
Ferrell and some friends advocated for "Meatless Mondays" in Andrew Commons, an effort to lessen the amount of meat being served on campus, and made an application to the Environmental Sustainability Committee to install a bike stand and pump in front of Sage Hall.
"It's not super public, but I'm still super stoked we got that done; that was fun," Ferrell said of those efforts. "It feels so good to have a little impact on Lawrence."
Ferrell's outreach has extended beyond campus through his work for support agencies such as Harbor House, a domestic abuse shelter in Appleton. Ferrell would spend Monday evenings helping children at Harbor House while their mothers participated in programming.
In addition, Ferrell worked for a summer as an interpreter for Safe Passage, a nonprofit based in New York City that provides undocumented children facing deportation with free legal services such as affidavits, which Ferrell helped write.
"I think it helped me become really humble, much more compassionate, realizing what other people go through, realizing how much privilege I have," Ferrell said.
Ferrell was originally a religious studies major, but has switched to a government major.
"I was drawn to Buddhism because it addresses the question of suffering | 805 |
"Good job ladies." My tour manager said as we walked off stage covered in sweat.
I pulled the hood of my sleeveless cloak off and dabbed the sweat from my head with a towel.
"You all have one hour before the signing at our tent so hurry up." James the manager said.
"Alright." I replied as I threw the towel over my shoulder.
I walked past a group of males as I headed towards the stage steps.
"Hey, are you Ashton Michaels?" One of them asked.
"Devin Sola, I'm the bassist from Motionless in White." He said.
"Oh, nice to meet you. Yea I'm Ash." I smiled as I shook his hand.
"Could I possibly talk to you after I'm done playing?" He asked.
"Of course, just look for the Dark Memories bus. It has a giant rose painted on the door." I replied.
"No problem, see you later Devin." I said then quickly walked off to my bus.
I stood up from the plastic chair and stretched.
"Oh god my back." Tyler, the singer, said.
I chuckled as I grabbed my pen. I walked towards the bus and saw Devin standing outside.
"Hey Devin." I said as I approached him.
"Did Landon not let you on?" I asked.
I opened the bus door and let him step on. I went to follow him but a voice stopped me in my tracks.
"Hey! I told you no!" Landon yelled as he tried to grab Devin.
"Hey! Calm down. He's cool." I replied.
Landon walked off while shaking his head.
"Sorry about that." I said as I sat down.
"It's no problem. I was going to ask if you did tattoos like I've been hearing." He replied.
"I lost a bet and have to get something random tattooed on my leg and I was hoping you'd do it." He said.
"Oh no problem." I replied and stood up to get my tattoo machine.
I returned back to the room to see him sitting on the couch.
"So you have no choice in what I will tattoo on you?" I asked.
"Yea, just please<|fim_middle|> anything stupid." He answered.
"Oh of course not." I replied as I thought of what I would be tattooing.
He propped his leg up and pulled his pants leg up.
"I've already shaved so you don't have to." He said.
"Thank you, that is much appreciated." I replied as I cleaned the small machine.
"Mind if I free hand?" I asked.
He nodded in reply and I started the tattoo.
Two hours later, I found myself finishing the tattoo on his shin and my band mates surrounding me as I did so.
"I don't know how you do it Ash." Conner, the drummer, said.
I smiled and wiped the extra ink from Devin's leg.
"Go easy on yourself, there is a full sized mirror on the back of that door." I said then pointed at an opened door.
I stood up then put my hand out for him to take. He took it and I pulled him up. He walked over to the mirror as I started cleaning my kit.
"This is amazing." Devin said as he looked at Sleepy Hollow tattoo I had done.
"Where do you learn this?" He asked as I started wrapping his leg up.
"I started art back in elementary school and I've been doing this ever since." I replied.
"What do I owe you?" He asked as I stood up.
His eyes went wide before he nodded with a smile. | don't do | 3 |

Ajo, Arizona: Oasis in the Desert
How a city with century-old "good bones" tries to reinvent itself.
Historic plaza in Ajo, ArizonaPhotos James and Deborah Fallows
Driving south through the hot desert from Gila Bend and into the town of Ajo, you pass a series of roadside spots that mark sparsely populated southern Arizona: a motel, a few RV parks, lots of signs for Mexican auto insurance, an IGA grocery store, a car wash, an Elks Lodge. Then you round the bend on AZ-85, pass through a few blocks of modest former mining houses, and suddenly, out of nowhere, you come across the stunning Ajo town plaza. It feels, I imagine, like coming upon an oasis.
The town plaza is an expanse of lush green lawns, surrounded on three sides by long rows of white-washed Spanish Colonial Revival shopfronts, which have a continuous red roof, and covered arched walkways. Facing them to the west are a pair of bright white painted churches, one Catholic and one Methodist, equally simple and elegant. You have arrived in Ajo.
As promised in the preceding American Futures post, here are the stories of two major projects that are changing the face of Ajo, and quite possibly its future. They are two that the International Sonoran Desert Alliance (ISDA) has been at work on for over a dozen years: reimagining and renovating this spectacular Ajo town plaza, and also the nearby Curley School complex.
The town plaza. Larger-than-life players and their stories set the course for Ajo a century ago. In 1917, John Greenway—former Rough Rider with Teddy Roosevelt at the Battle of San Juan Hill, Yale football star, and millionaire mine-developer—opened the New Cornelia copper mine.
He was joined by his dynamic young wife, Isabella, a close and dear friend of Eleanor Roosevelt since their teens and the recently widowed wife of another of Roosevelt's Rough Riders. (More on her story coming soon; Bruce Babbitt, former Arizona governor, told me a few weeks ago that Isabella Greenway remains one of the most important figures in Arizona political history.) Fixed on creating an aesthetic for the desert town of Ajo to match the distinction of the formidable and successful mine, the Greenways built a town plaza in Spanish Colonial Revival style.
Immaculate Conception church, across from the historic plaza in Ajo, Arizona, as it looked a few weeks ago
Let's skip decades ahead through the sudden early death of John Greenway in the 1920s; changes in mine ownership; strikes and ups and downs in the world price of copper; to the sudden shutdown of the mine 30 years ago, in 1985. The jobs were gone. People fled.
Tracy Taft, driving force behind ISDA
Two dozen years later, in 2008, ISDA stepped onto the town plaza with a vision no less audacious than that of the Greenways. As a nonprofit group, it purchased the historic plaza and took responsibility for redevelopment.
Since Ajo is unincorporated, it has no city government and falls within the jurisdiction of Pima County, so you can buy pretty much anything in the area, we were told by Tracy Taft, ISDA's indomitable executive director. You could buy anything from the town plaza, to a nearby mountain, to a piece of desert. Taft has been the driving force behind ISDA for over a decade. The idea was to revitalize this centerpiece of the town to be a high-functioning, high-end space for the arts, for markets, for festivals and gatherings, for shopping and eating, all for the town residents and, hopefully, tourists who would come through town.
Signs to point driving-through tourists toward the Ajo plaza
ISDA cast a wide net for funding from all corners—public and private grants, federal, state, and county funds, enterprise partnering, and so on. The money it raised went to renovating the buildings and cleaning up the outdoor grounds. Even the current mine owners, who periodically float the idea of re-opening the mine, pitched in to help repair the street, water, and lighting infrastructure.
Oasis cafe and deli in Ajo Plaza
ISDA has leased out most of the storefronts, to an eclectic high-low mix of occupants. There is a relatively new deli called Oasis, which serves lattes, a popular reuben, and ice cream. There is a gym; the Salazar-Ajo Public Library (one of the hottest gathering spots for the older generation seeking wifi and for schoolkids biding their time after school over video games); and a handful of arts and gift shops. There is also a second-hand clothing store and a quite bizarre expired-foods store, where you can buy outdated dry and canned goods for a third their normal price.
Some storefronts remain unoccupied, including a restaurant staged with a white-tablecloth continental look. The restaurant and tens of thousands of square feet of affordable space are just waiting for creative entrepreneurs to show up.
The Conference Center and Curley School.
The Curley School, now home to the artisan apartments and studios of ISDA (courtesy ISDA)
Just a few blocks uphill from the town square lie the grounds of the Curley School, named for John Greenway's successor as mine supervisor, Mike Curley. Redeveloping it was ISDA's first project in Ajo.
The first renovation, completed in 2007, turned former school property into a set of 30 affordable housing apartments for artists, sculptors, painters, photographers, dancers, and artisans all sorts. The compound's residents make a living through making their art in neighborly quarters on the campus and in renovated studios and working shops. When<|fim_middle|> Center, and ISDA's grand plan includes using the rooms and public spaces not only for tourist overnights, but also for small conferences or retreats. The energy level was high in anticipation of the first ever arts festival opening scheduled for just a few days hence. The festival included 70 programs all around town, with artists from all over the world.
Before: a classroom-turned-guest room under construction
at the Center
Aaron Cooper, ISDA's Director of Economic Development Programs, walked me through the genesis of turning an elementary school classroom into a guest room. The goal of the renovations, he said, was to strike a sweet spot of preservation, environmental awareness, and cost. Take, for example, the question of heat. This is no small issue in Ajo, which one high schooler explained to me as being "so hot in the summer that your skin hurts."
The historic designation of the school means the outside of the building must remain unchanged, including the 8-foot metal-framed windows, which invite and conduct heat from the blistering summer sun. The solution, Aaron said, has to lie indoors, isolating and insulating each room. There are heat-and-sun blocking shades, with a second layer planned when they can afford it. The new walls that divide the classrooms into smaller guestrooms are constructed with double layers of separation, filled with blown-in insulation. There is more blown insulation in the ceilings.
After: finished guest room at the Center, with
converted hanging light
Individual water heaters power low-flow water systems. Heat pumps double up to cool multiple rooms. Simple metal ceiling fans kept the rooms cool enough for us on the 90-degree days.
Rooms have abundant LED lighting. The site architect, Rob Paulus, designed spectacular hanging light fixtures, which are made from parts of the original 4-foot fluorescent ceiling lights in the classrooms. With all the small reflective metal pieces, the lights create a charmingly retro '60s disco-light effect.
As at the Adoba Hotel, which we stumbled upon in Rapid City, ISDA sources products nearby when it can. Local artists make stuffed javelinas to put on the beds, custom tiles, handmade soap, and the cabinet counters for the bathrooms and small kitchen spaces.
But there's even more to ISDA's efforts: The construction work on the Conference Center is done by local workers, who are part of an apprenticeship program that ISDA runs. The workers learn their skilled trades, do the work of the renovations, earn formal credentials, and emerge as ready-for-hire workers. These apprentices also made the custom light fixtures for the guestrooms. Ajo needs professional workers like these, to renovate and maintain its stock of well-built but sorely-aging housing, as well as the town's school, clinic, library, and other public buildings, and the ISDA Conference Center.
The inner courtyard of the Conference Center is becoming the piece de resistance. Nina Sajovec, an anthropologist originally from Slovenia, who is passionate about food and local agriculture, developed and runs the courtyard gardens for the Ajo Center for Sustainable Agriculture (CSA).
The gardens of Ajo CSA at the Conference Center
The Ajo CSA gardens are part the Ajo Regional Food Partnership, a collection of about 10 different groups around town, working on gardening, food, landscaping, and healthy eating projects. They engage Ajo's active neighborhood gardeners, schoolkids, volunteers, restaurants, the town clinic, the farmers market and so much more. Only one garden detail remained to be done before the grand opening of the Center and the arrival of the festival participants: relocating the chickens from the central courtyard to an area around back and into their spiffy new custom chicken coop.
The amount of creative work and collaboration going on in Ajo is breathtaking. It seems to us that reinvention is working, and that Ajo is ready for the arrival of the second proxy for a town on the move: the local microbrewery.

Cycling In The United Kingdom And Famous Routes
Have you ever wondered why cycling is so popular in the UK? How did all started and who invented this sport? What is status at the moment? We will discuss these questions in this article in order to offer people a better insight into the whole matter. Since we are the part of Otley's cycle race, we might attract more visitors after this text.
How did all started?
John Kemp Starley is the inventor of a modern bicycle and he invented the first bicycle in 1885 and since the popularity of cycling has been growing. At first, the bicycles were not used for races, as there were no such concept and no could even think of an event where you compete with other people who ride bicycle to get to the finish line first. Instead, these were used by workers who commuted to work ever day and the tradition is still alive even today, however in smaller percentage once the motorized vehicles entered the stage. Today, there are a lot of organizations that promote cycling and using it for commuting and we have Cycle To Work concept which is relatively young but very organized. At the moment, around 3% of all commuters use bicycles to travel to work so we will say what will happen in the upcoming times.
The National Cycle Network
It is the national route network made for cycling enthusiasts who wanted to have a fast and accurate access to all roads that are available for cycling. The network was made in 1984 when a part of a railway, which was not used, served as the guideline for the cycling route. Now, it contains around 5,200 miles of routes without any traffic, while it has 11,000 miles on-road routes and you can experience rural and calm roads but also traffic-packed roads that are busy all the time. The whole network contains 10 routes that pass through small and big towns, beautiful landscapes and nature and old-fashioned and traditional mid-century towns.
The most popular races and routes
This island was a part of Tour de France event a couple of times: 1974, 1994,2007 and 2014. However, the Revolution Series events are the biggest ones and the most popular on this island. There are several professional cycling routes that are well-known, including: the Tour of Britain, the Tour de Yorkshire, the Women's tour and London-Surrey route.

Trail of Tears, one of Illinois' state forests, is situated in western Union County, five miles northwest of Jonesboro and 20 miles south of Murphysboro. Just over 5,000 acres are within the State Forest.
The State Forest System in Illinois was established to set aside lands for the growing of timber needed in production of forest products, for watershed protection and to provide outdoor recreation. Trail of Tears State Forest is a multiple-use site managed for timber, wildlife, ecosystem preservation, watershed protection and recreation.
Two large shelters in the main picnic area are ideal for reunions and group gatherings. Two smaller rustic log shelters are suitable for small groups. Each picnic spot contains a table and grill, with privies and drinking water nearby. A ball diamond and smaller playing areas are also present. Other picnic sites exist along the Forest's gravel roads.
The fire trails are open all year for hiking. There are hiking trails at the Forest, including one designed for cross country running. Other trails pass through hills and valleys where one can appreciate the lush vegetation and abundant wildlife.
Horseback riding is permitted along designated horse trails. Access and trailer parking are available at the equestrian trailhead along the county blacktop road. Horseback use and horse trailer parking is not permitted on or along roads or fire trails (except where those are part of a horse trail), on hiking trails or anywhere south of the blacktop road. The horseback trails are open for use from May 1 to October 31st. These trails may be closed temporarily in the event of heavy rains during the riding season; it is best to call the site for a current report on trail conditions (618-833-4910). A detailed map of the horseback trails is available upon request.
Motorized vehicles and bicycles are not allowed off paved or graveled roads. All terrain vehicles are prohibited. In winter and early spring, gravel roads are closed to vehicles.
Both Class C (tent camping with vehicle access) and Class D (backpack) camping sites are available at the State Forest. Some locations have log shelters with adjacent privies. Group camping is available at a few sites. The forest's gravel roads are closed to vehicles from December 24 through the end of the spring wild turkey hunting season (generally the second week in May). All camping access is by foot only during that period (Class D).
Squirrels, deer, turkey and raccoon are common game species of the Forest. Please be aware of the areas closed to hunting: the Ozark Hills Nature Preserve, the restricted area around the main picnic and day-use area, within 300 yards of any building or the tree nursery beds, or within any road right-of-way. Hunters must report their harvest at registration boxes (provided at access points). Please observe all State and Federal regulations when hunting the State Forest.

Location and description of the Rudawski Landscape Park
The Rudawski Landscape Park is situated in the southern part of Lower Silesia, on the border of the Western and Central Sudetes mountains, part of an ancient range.
The park's name derives from its main range mountains, the Rudawy Janowickie, stretching from the Kowary Pass (727 m above sea level) to the Bóbr valley. The chief ridge in the Rudawy Janowickie is approximately 18 km in length, while the highest point in the park is Skalnik (945 m) and the bed of the Bóbr river near Bobrów is the part of the park closest to sea level (at around 350 m).
In relation to the Sudetes mountains, the Rudawy Janowickie comprise an independent ridge with its own, different landscape. It features a number of picturesque river valleys (such as the Janówka or Hutniczy Potok), scattered rock formations (for example the Sokoliki [Falcon Stones], Starościńskie Skały [Starost's Wife's Rocks] and Skalny Most [Rock Bridge]), numerous hills, steep slopes, and gorgeous forested terrain with abundant streams. Apart from constituting tourist attractions in their own right, many rocks are also excellent climbing locations. It is right here, in the Rudawy Janowickie, where outstanding mountaineers such as Wanda Rutkiewicz, began climbing. They also provide fantastic views over the beautiful Giant Mountains and the Kamienna Góra Valley, especially from Skalnik.
Throughout the Rudawy Janowickie there are many interesting cycle tracks, differing in landscape and level of technical difficulty. Some cyclists might choose to test their abilities on one of the so-called 'walls of tears', running from Janowice Wielkie via Mniszków to Polana Mniszkowska.
Hikers in turn can choose from routes diverse in their scenery, covering not only rock formations, valleys and lakes, but also numerous monuments of architecture (castles and palaces) as well as extensive park and palace complexes, such as those in Bukowiec and Karpniki<|fim_middle|> Rudawy Janowickie mountains offer the tourist in abundance. The Park boasts 127 species of bird, 115 of them fully protected and 3 partially, with 8 species covered by protection determined by hunting legislation. Near the breeding ponds in Bukowiec and Karpniki you can spot the mute swan, the grey-headed woodpecker and the corn crake. Land animals inhabiting the forests include deer, moose, badger, muskrat, ermine and many others. Lynx have also recently been found here.
In addition 33 plant species are under total protection, while 8 species are under partial protection. These include the stemless carline thistle, the western marsh orchid and autumn crocus.
The most valuable sections of the non-forested ecosystems, home to rare and endangered plant species, include the Trzcińskie Mokradły peat bogs, the meadows near the Rędziny Pass, and the meadows above Czarnów.
The Rudawski Landscape Park is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful enclaves of nature in Lower Silesia.
The Rudawski Landscape Park in numbers
The park was established on 16 November 1989.
It embraces:
The Rudawy Janowickie mountains

2. "Rudawski Park Krajobrazowy. Cele i zasady ochrony". Red. J. Ratajski. Wyd. "PRINT" Jelenia Góra. Jelenia Góra 1998. | . An attractive route for active tourists could be the trail running along the main ridge of the Rudawy Janowickie towards the Giant Mountains, for which Janowice Wielkie is a good starting point.
If you opt to enjoy the picturesque scenery on horseback, your experience will be unforgettable.
In wintertime the upper reaches and passes of the Rudawski Landscape Park transform into interesting routes for cross-country skiing. The region is particularly prized by prospectors of precious stones. All because of the many remains of pits and quarries left behind from the underground and open-pit mining for minerals, such as in the Miedzianka area.
The Park and its vicinity constitute an excellent 'testing ground' for scientific work in many fields, including archaeological excavations of early settlements, or research into the origin of geological formations. Close contact with nature is something the | 176 |

Canada's main<|fim_middle|> U.S. trade team has been exploring rolling back some tariffs to get this over the line and the refusal to engage by Trump could simply be posturing, but time is running out if they want it signed this year."
Despite that uncertainty, Mr. Erlam says investors still aren't losing faith with equity markets holding at record levels. "Talks have collapsed before though and could again, the key difference this time though being that Trump will not want to go into an election without a deal," he said.
On the corporate side, more than 3,000 Canadian National Railway conductors, trainpersons and yard workers are on strike after the union and company failed to reach a deal by the midnight deadline. The union says the two sides are continuing to talk in the hope of reaching a negotiated settlement to the dispute. Teamsters Canada Rail Conference gave the required 72-hour strike notice on the weekend. The union also says passenger rail services Go Transit in Toronto, Exo in Montreal and the West Coast Express in Vancouver would not be affected by the strike. CN stock was down slightly at the open in Toronto.
On the earnings front, Loblaw-parent George Weston posted a profit attributable to common shareholders of $69-million, or 44 cents per diluted share in the latest quarter, up from $51-million or 40 cents a year earlier. Sales or the quarter rose to $15.2-billion, up from about $14.9-billion. On an adjusted basis, Weston earned $391-million or $2.54 per diluted common share, up from $288-million or $2.25 per diluted common share a year ago. Analysts on average had expected an adjusted profit of $2.14 per share, according to financial markets data firm Refinitiv. Weston shares gained about 1.6 per cent in early trading in Toronto.
South of the border, shares of Home Depot Inc. shares opened down more than 3 per cent after the retailer cut is full-year sales outlook. Home Depot said it expected its fiscal 2019 sales to rise about 1.8 per cent, compared to a prior forecast of a 2.3-per-cent increase.
Overseas, the pan-European STOXX 600 gained 0.42 per cent in afternoon trading. Earlier in the day, it hit its best level since 2015. Resource stocks and auto shares were among the top performers. Britain's FTSE 100 rose 1.10 per cent. Germany's DAX gained 0.90 per cent. France's CAC 40 rose 0.11 per cent.
In Asia, Japan's Nikkei lost 0.53 per cent. The Shanghai Composite Index was up 0.85 per cent. Hong Kong's Hang Seng added 1.55 per cent.
"The market is looking through the headline 'ping pong' in favor [of the idea] that some limited trade deal as imminent," AxiTrader strategist Stephen Innes said in an early Asia note. "There was some divergence between equities and other risky assets, notably commodities, which is probably due to the uncertainty over the degree of tariff rollbacks."
Crude prices diverged from equities Tuesday, declining on uncertainty over global trade and the expectation that new figures due later in the session would show an increase in U.S. inventories.
The day range on Brent is US$61.73 to US$62.57. The range on West Texas Intermediate is US$56.39 to US$57.11. Last week, optimism over the U.S.-China trade talks had pushed Brent above US$63 a barrel. However, recent suggestions of pessimism on the part of Beijing have taken some of the wind out of the benchmark's sails.
"The less than promising reports coming from China on the trade war may have taken some of the energy out of the rally but oil is already trading at quite elevated levels and in a region that has previously been problematic," OANDA's Craig Erlam said in a note. "We're certainly seeing less momentum in the recent rallies which suggests the path of least resistance may be below in the near-term."
AxiTrader's Stephen Innes says recent price movement reflects market concerns that a partial agreement without tariff roll backs would be negative for commodities.
"It's abundantly clear that oil traders view a trade deal without a tariff rollback as meaningless and will provide the minimal economic punch," he said.
Later in the day, the American Petroleum Institute releases its weekly report on U.S. inventories. Those numbers will be followed Wednesday by more official U.S. government figures.
A Reuters poll of six analysts suggests that crude inventories for the week rose about 1.1 million barrels. That would mark the fourth consecutive week of increased crude stocks.
Gold prices, meanwhile, held steady as the lack of trade news hit risk sentiment.
Spot gold was little changed at US$1,471.90 per ounce. U.S. gold futures inched up 0.07 per cent to US$1,472.90 per ounce.
"We're not seeing any big moves at the moment and given the proximity to the $1,490-level, movements will be sideways in the short term, unless Beijing or Washington come and say that a trade deal is unlikely," Michael McCarthy, chief market strategist at CMC Markets, told Reuters.
The Canadian dollar edged higher after new figures from Statistics Canada showed a lower-than-expected decline in factory sales in September, although underlying weakness limited the gains.
The loonie moved to the upper end of the day range of 75.53 US cents to 75.80 US cents after the report's release.
For the month, Statscan said factory sales slid 0.2 per cent to $57.4-billion. Markets had been forecasting a decline closer to 0.5 per cent. The September decrease followed an increase of 0.8 per cent in August.
Sales were down in 10 of 21 industries representing about 62.2 per cent of the factory sector, the government agency said. Weaker sales of petroleum and coal products and auto parts made of most of September's decrease.
"Manufacturing shipments didn't fall quite as much as expected in September, but the details were less encouraging than the headline in terms of forecasting monthly GDP," CIBC economist Andrew Grantham said.
Excluding autos and parts, sales were down 0.4 per cent, slightly weaker than forecast. As well, overall sales volumes fell 0.7 per cent, which was also more than markets had been expecting. "Because of these weaker details, market reaction to the headline beat should be limited," he said.
Later in the day, Bank of Canada senior deputy governor Carolyn Wilkins is set to deliver a speech. The topic is measures in place to help safeguard Canada's financial system in a challenging global environment.
On world currency markets, the U.S. dollar index was little changed after three days of losses. Investors are awaiting the afternoon release of minutes from the latest Federal Reserve meeting later in the week.
Against a basket of its rivals, the U.S. dollar index was broadly steady at 97.84 after weakening more than 0.6 per cent in the last three sessions, according to Reuters. It had hit a one-month high of 98.45 on Nov. 13.
In other currencies, Britain's pound held firm around US$1.2950 with sterling helped by polls indicating a victory by the ruling Conservatives in upcoming elections.
Canada's TC Energy said it expects comparable core earnings (EBITDA) to exceed $10-billion in 2022, driven by long-term contracts and assets. The Keystone pipeline operator also said it expects dividends to grow at an average annual rate of 5 to 7 per cent beyond 2021. The company is holding its investor day on Tuesday.
The majority of unions representing workers at Peugeot maker PSA are in favour of a planned merger with Fiat Chrysler, PSA executives and union representatives said. However, the unions said that once the merger deal was signed, they would be seeking detailed information about the plans for the combined company.
Qantas has asked Airbus and Boeing for a better deal on planes capable of non-stop Sydney-London flights before deciding whether to place an order. "We asked them to go back and re-look at that to sharpen their pencils because there still was a gap there," Qantas International Chief Executive Tino La Spina told an investor briefing on Tuesday after Qantas outlined plans for capital spending to average A$2-billion (US$1.36-billion) a year.
U.S. department store operator Kohl's Corp cut its annual profit expectations ahead of the all-important holiday shopping season, and missed same-store sales estimates for the third quarter, sending its shares down nearly 10 per cent. Kohl's said it now expects full-year adjusted earnings to be between US$4.75 and US$4.95 per share, compared to its previous forecast of US$5.15 to US$5.45. Sales from stores open for at least a year rose 0.4 per cent in the third quarter ended Nov. 2, while analysts on average had expected same-store sales to increase 0.76 per cent, according to IBES data from Refinitiv.
U.S. discount store operator TJX Companies Inc has acquired a 25-per-cent stake in Russian low-cost apparel retailer Familia for US$225-million, the Russian company said in a statement on Tuesday. Familia, which has more than 275 stores in Russia selling clothes, shoes, accessories and household goods, enjoyed 24-per-cent turnover growth in the first nine months of 2019 compared with the same period of 2018, with like-for-like sales rising 7 per cent.
Canadian factory sales slid 0.2 per cent in September. Markets had been expecting a decline of 0.5 per cent.
U.S. housing starts increased 3.8 per cent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1.314 million units last month, with single-family construction rising for a fifth straight month and activity in the volatile multi-family sector rebounding solidly, the Commerce Department said on Tuesday.

Brainwave-to-music helmet hits Adelaide Fringe
Internode-sponsored event puts SKot McDonald's product on show
Nermin Bajric<|fim_middle|>internodeBrainWave
Nermin Bajric | (ARN) on 14 February, 2014 10:20
Internode will help to transform brain signals into music with a BrainWave helmet and its accompanying software at Adelaide's Fringe Festival.
Called Internode Powered by Brains, the free event kicks off at midday today in Rundle Mall, where Fringe attendees will be invited to use the sensor-rich helmet.
The BrainWave helmet and software is the product of Australian computer music scientist, SKot McDonald. It works by reading the electrical state of the human brain, converting signals into pieces of music.
The headset contains 14 channel ElectroEncephaloGram (EEG) sensors and a solid-state gyroscope which is monitored by the software to track the subject's physical and emotional state.
Based on raw voltage produced by each electrode, the software uses the input to control rhythmic and melodic elements, creating a unique piece of music.
McDonald said, "we can detect the user's level of calm, frustration or excitement and thus vary the tempo, filter positions or even the chords generated in the music."
"So a calm user might hear a slow tempo with pleasing chords and an uncomplicated arpeggiation, whereas a frustrated, agitated user will hear a fast-paced piece with clashing chords and garish sounds."
Internode is getting behind the project as it allows anyone to play with technology.
"We think it will really tap into the mindset of folk during Mad March when they're out and about taking in all the festivities at our Node-sponsored events," iiNet digital marketing manager, Jane Orchard, said.
"It came from the idea that Internode is powered by hundreds of brilliant people, so we wanted to celebrate the power of the human brain to make amazing things happen."
Adelaide Fringe is an annual, open-access arts festival which will take place from February 14 to March 16 this year. It includes visual art, cabaret, comedy, circus, physical theatre, dance, film, and design. The 2013 instalment featured more than 4000 artists in 930 events and 6139 performances.

When Tommy Bahama invited me to write a post about the fine art of relaxation in order to help celebrate National Relaxation Day, I jumped at the chance! I mean what's not to love about anything having to do with relaxation? And it just so happens that I am a big fan of the Tommy Bahama Lifestyle brand because their products truly exemplify all things relaxation, and love shopping in their retail stores because they always smell like a yummy tropical vacay and put you in a good mood.
So What Does Relaxation Look Like For Me??? Well, I created the fabulous Pinterest Board pictured above to visually capture the vibe, mood, and feeling of what relaxation looks like and feels like for me. One of the first things that comes to mind when I think of relaxation is tropical sunsets, vibrant hues, beaches, cocktails and yoga, so my collage truly captures that story. Whether I am lucky enough to be on a tropical island, or more realistically creating the mood of a tropical escape by sipping the perfect coconuty cocktail while looking at a jewel-toned sunset (without a hint of urban sprawl), all of this totally transports me to a relaxing state of mind. And I have recently become obsessed with Hot Yoga, and it has also become my stress release and pathway to total relaxation as well.
Let's not forget to mention cocktails! Nothing says relaxation better than my FAB Chillax & Cheers Tropical Blue Cocktail Concoction that I was inspired to create after Tommy Bahama's Chillax Cocktail<|fim_middle|> as I've never been to Hawaii and would love to have some R&R there! | , soooooooo good!
Since Tommy Bahama is all about the fine art of relaxing, it totally makes sense that they are leading the charge on celebrating National Relaxation Day in style. This brilliant holiday is coming up on August 15th and in addition to it being a day that encourages us all to take time out to smell the roses and relax, Tommy Bahama will also have some great in-store promotions going on to celebrate this day like: Free soft serve ice cream at all Tommy Bahama Island locations, samples of The Chillax – the official cocktail of National Relaxation Day, live music, fun prizes to win, 20% off all in-store purchases and a relaxation themed gift with purchase. If you can't make it to a store, you can visit the Tommy Bahama Website for a chance to win instant prizes including trips, Tommy Bahama products and more.
In honor of National Relaxation Day, Tommy Bahama is also hosting the "Summer of Go" Sweepstakes which includes an array of great weekly giveaways like airline tickets and hotel stays leading up to the big day now thru August 18th and then a FABULOUS Grand Prize Giveaway on National Relaxation Day weekend August 15th-18th which includes a 7 night stay in Hawaii, airfare and a $1000 Tommy Bahama shopping spree! This is one FREE Giveaway you do not want to miss and it's easy to enter HERE.
So have I inspired you to celebrate National Relaxation Day? Perhaps with a spontaneous visit to the beach or maybe just whipping up a Chillax Tropical Treat? Downward dog anyone? However you choose to celebrate, I encourage you to take the time on 8/15 to slow down and relax in style. Cheers!

What is Birch Sap? Health Benefits, Use of Birch Water
By Brianna Tobritzhofer
Many people believe that birch sap provides several health benefits, from protecting against eye diseases to improving skin health. For this reason, it's starting to become more trendy and available in the United States.
This article will provide an overview of birch water, including its potential health benefits, where to find it, and how to use it.
What Is Birch Sap?
What is Birch Sap Used For?
What Are The Health Benefits of Birch Sap?
Finally, Should You Drink Birch Tree Sap?
Birch sap is a clear liquid that can be extracted or tapped from birch trees. It's also known as birch tree water, birch juice, and birch syrup.
For hundreds of years, birch tree water has been consumed as a traditional beverage in parts of the Northern hemisphere, including Northern European countries as well as parts of Northern China and Japan (1).
Where to Find Birch Tree Sap?
Birch sap is provided by the many species of birch trees, including Betula alba (white birch), Betula pendula (silver birch), Betula papyrifera, Betula fontinalis, and Betula lenta.
Birch trees are widespread in areas of the Northern Hemisphere, in which temperate and subarctic climates allow them to thrive (1).
Due to its rising popularity, birch juice has become more widely available at natural food stores and supermarkets. It's typically marketed as birch water to improve its appeal to consumers. Birch water can also be purchased online from some retailers, such as Amazon.

If you live in an area with birch trees, you can also make birch sap beverages on your own by extracting it directly from the tree.
Appearance and Flavor of Birch Juice
Fresh birch tree sap is described as water-like, with hints of sweet flavors. It has a clear and uncolored appearance, similar to that of regular water. After a few days, birch water ferments and starts to taste more acidic.
Birch tree water is thinner than maple syrup. Its texture is often compared to that of coconut water, as it is somewhat silky.
Birch Water is Used in Cosmetics
Birch sap has been used cosmetically for centuries, mostly in the realm of skin health.
Some people use it as a moisturizer, and it has been said to help keep skin protected from the sun. There are also some reports of birch juice being used to treat specific skin conditions, such as acne and eczema (1).
Birch sap water's potential to promote skin health is often attributed to its antioxidant content, which may help protect the skin against damage caused by inflammation (2).

Birch syrup is made of concentrated birch sap. It is a costly type of syrup made from paper birch in Alaska, Canada, and several Northern European countries like Latvia, Finland, Russia, Belarus.
Due to the nutrition content of birch juice, it is believed to promote health in several ways.
Perhaps the most important health benefit of birch juice is its hydrating properties. It has been used historically as a diuretic, and claimed to have "cleansing" and "detoxifying" properties for this reason.
Listed below are a few other health benefits that birch sap has been claimed to have:
Promotes good digestion and reduces bloating
Helps strengthen the immune system
Has anti-cancer properties
Aids weight loss
Supports heart health by keeping cholesterol levels under control
Reduces joint pain
Helps maintain oral health
Promotes wound healing
Optimizes kidney and liver health
Prevents kidney stones
Protects against gout
Despite its potential medicinal and nutritional uses, there is not any conclusive scientific evidence behind the use of birch juice for these health ailments. More human studies are needed to confirm the potential health benefits of consuming birch tree water.
With that being said, some animal and lab studies have shown birch tree water to have anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, likely due to its content of antioxidants and health-promoting minerals (3, 4).
Although birch tree water is unlikely to solve all of your health problems, it is generally safe to consume. Including it along with an otherwise healthy diet and lifestyle is certainly worth a try if you want to add it to your regimen.
Nutrients in Birch Tree Water
The nutrition profile of birch tree sap varies depending on the species of birch tree, in addition to environmental and anthropogenic factors. Generally, all variations of birch tree water contain a combination of several nutrients, including a small amount of sugar and amino acids.
Birch tree sap is known to consist of up to a dozen minerals, which provide many important health benefits. Calcium and potassium are the minerals typically found in the highest amounts in birch sap.
One liter of birch sap is predicted to contain at least 150 mg of calcium, potassium, and magnesium. In one study, a liter of silver birch tree sap provided up to 40% of daily requirements for copper, 17% for zinc, 2% for calcium, 4% for magnesium, and 0.04% for sodium.
Another study found birch tree sap concentrations of manganese, phosphorus, and zinc to exceed 1 mg per liter.
Despite its high mineral content, birch water is not rich in vitamins, although some birch tree species contain detectable amounts of folic acid in their birch water.
Birch juice is low in calories and high in antioxidants. Birch trees located in areas with environmental stresses and grown in soil with high heavy metal concentrations may have higher antioxidant activity in their birch water. (2)
Overall, birch tree sap is a healthy beverage. It provides minerals and antioxidants, and has a refreshing sweet flavor.
However, birch water isn't a miracle beverage. There is not any conclusive scientific evidence behind its health claims and use in folk medicine. It can contribute to your hydration needs due to its water content, but hasn't been proven to prevent or cure any health ailments.
With that being said, there are many anecdotal claims that consuming birch water provides many health benefits, from improving digestion to reducing pain. Birch water is generally safe for most people to drink, so adding it to an otherwise healthy diet and lifestyle is certainly worth a try.

How to Tap a Birch Tree for Water?
Although birch tree water is becoming more widely available in the marketplace, it can be expensive. If you live in an area with birch trees, you can learn how to tap them for water which is quite easy to do and completely free.
To collect birch water, you'll need to drill a hole into the trunk of a birch tree at an upward angle and lead the sap into a container with a tube or other type of conduit.
Birch water has to be tapped at the right time of year before it becomes unpalatable. Springtime, when the temperatures are above freezing and before any green leaves have appeared, is the best time to collect birch juice from birch trees.
You'll also want to make sure the birch tree you collect birch water from is healthy and at least 10 inches round in diameter.
Once you've finished collecting the birch water, it can be consumed immediately. You can store it in glass bottles or another type of container, and should keep it cold in the refrigerator. Birch water ferments quickly, so you should drink it within a few days of tapping if you want to enjoy it fresh.
How to Consume Birch Tree Sap?
The most common way to consume birch tree sap is by drinking it plain. However, there are many other ways that you can enjoy this nutritious liquid.
For example, you can pour it your quiet blender to add it to smoothies for a nutrition and flavor boost. Some people use it in place of regular water to brew herbal teas. You can also add your own healthy spices and seasonings, such as ginger and turmeric, to birch water to enhance the flavor.
Birch tree sap can also be used to make syrup, vinegar, and alcoholic beverages such as wine and beer. Additionally, the clear liquid is sometimes used as an ingredient to make certain types of candy.
Is Drinking Birch Sap Safe?
There have not been any reported negative effects from consuming birch tree sap. However, those with allergies to birch should avoid drinking it.
Drinking excessive amounts of birch juice should be avoided. Birch trees in some areas may accumulate heavy metals, which can cause adverse health effects when consumed in high amounts. With that being said, birch tree water is resistant to toxic minerals, so it's unlikely to contain unsafe levels of heavy metals. (2)
Additionally, due to its perishability, birch tree water should be consumed within 5-7 days of tapping. Consuming birch water after it has fermented can be unsafe for some people, especially for those with compromised immune systems.

Great article, but this statement is not quite true: "It's [birch sap] also known as birch tree water, birch juice, and birch syrup."
Birch Syrup is not Birch Sap, it takes 110 gallons of Birch Sap to make Birch Syrup, and that explains why Birch Syrup is sold is very small quantities (typically between 100 and 500ml), and is much more expensive than Birch Sap.
It also explains why there is much more Birch Sap that is readily available, however people should not assume that they are getting Birch Syrup when buying Birch Sap.
To qualify as a syrup, a product must have around 66% sugar that is accumulated in the reduction process, and Birch Sap has no-where near 66% sugar, indeed, going by the 110 ratio above, 66% divided by 110, which is very small indeed!

Birch juice has also been touted as a tool to strengthen hair growth and prevent baldness due to the amino acids that it provides.
There is not any scientific evidence behind cosmetic uses of birch sap water, but it's worth a try if you want to add it to your beauty routine. You can use birch sap water on its own for skin and hair care, but it's also added as an ingredient to several types of skincare products.

Clayton Kershaw Declares Himself Fit, Dodgers in No Rush for Return
Image via si.com
After a little more than two weeks on the DL with a lower back strain, Clayton Kershaw says he's ready to get back on the mound. He's not been afraid to throw hard to test out his body and arm in recent throwing sessions. However, despite Kershaw's insistence that he's ready, the Dodgers have no intention of rushing their ace back from injury.
"He's close," Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said of Kershaw. "I think it just makes sense for us to be cautious. We just don't want to put ourselves in any situation where there's a setback. The calendar's on our side. I know that Clayton resists<|fim_middle|> and getting back up several times over the course of a game. The lefty still needs to build up some endurance with a few bullpen sessions and at least one minor league rehab start.
The fact that Kershaw returned from a herniated disc last season makes him confident that the rehab process will go smoothly this time around. He also confirmed to the media Tuesday that his current back problem is not nearly as bad as it was a year ago.
"I definitely knew it wasn't as bad as last year," Kershaw said. "When the MRI came back as good as it did, I wasn't worried. All those things considered, I guess I wasn't surprised it went away quicker."
Still, the Dodgers have no intention of rushing Kershaw back, in large part because they don't have to. Los Angeles holds a 15-game lead atop the NL West. It would take a monumental collapse for the Dodgers not to win their fifth straight division title and reach the playoffs. The Dodgers also have a strong five-man rotation, even without Kershaw, following the acquisition of Yu Darvish at the trade deadline.
The Dodgers don't need Kershaw to secure a playoff spot. But they will need him to lead their rotation when the postseason begins. Roberts is hoping Kershaw will be able to make four or five major league starts before the playoffs to make sure he gets back on track. Such a timeline wouldn't require Kershaw to return from the DL before the calendar flips to September.

Kershaw threw long toss on flat ground on Tuesday, and he expects to do the same on Wednesday. That will put him on track to throw his first formal bullpen session this weekend. From there, it's just a matter of time until the three-time Cy Young winner rejoins the Dodgers.
"I think now it's just a matter of building back up at a good pace and, obviously, understanding where we're at and the timeline and all that stuff," Kershaw said after his workout on Tuesday. "I don't feel like I've lost much. But, being a starter, you've gotta build your innings back and all that. So, it's gonna take a little bit of time to do that."

London, UK - 4 November 2005 - On November 9, 2005 Sony Online Entertainment Inc. (SOE), a global leader in the online games industry, will celebrate the first birthday for EverQuest®II. On that day, SOE will offer in-game rewards to EQII players based on the length of time they have subscribed and there will be fun virtual treats for all EQII players to enjoy. However, the most extraordinary gift is the option for US and European players to use unique Asian-styled characters that were only previously available for the EverQuest II East project created by SOGA, an SOE joint-venture development studio based in Taiwan.
"It has been a fantastic year for EverQuest II," said John Smedley, president, Sony Online Entertainment. "The team has been amazing, continually adding great features to the live game, creating adventure packs, releasing our first expansion pack, Desert of Flames, and launching Station Exchange. We've been so busy that it's hard to believe we're already coming up on birthday celebrations. The team has created a lot of great gifts for our players to enjoy next week and we're already planning exciting things for the year to come."
In-game rewards will be given to players who have subscribed for any time from one day (a 12 slot bag) all the way up to those who subscribed for the whole year. The gifts will be given at the following intervals: at least one day, one week, one month, three months, six months and one year. The gifts stack up so, for example, a player who subscribed for 6 months will also receive all previously accrued rewards. Exciting gifts include experience bonuses, a special title, unique house items, and fireworks.
All EQII players will be able to access the special SOGA created characters. Earlier this year, news of these models spread to the EQII fan community when screenshots were released to the Asian press. Players expressed a strong interest in these characters, but weren't aware of the details surrounding the EverQuest II East project that was created by SOE's SOGA studio in Taiwan. While most companies simply translate text for international use, SOE chose to "re-culturalise" its game for the Asian market creating EverQuest II East. Of the game's 16 playable races, 13 were redesigned with an Asian style and major user interface changes were made to accommodate Asian styles of play such as "point-to-move" use of the mouse rather than use of the keyboard for character movement. EverQuest II East is scheduled for launch in China, Korea, and Taiwan later in November with high expectations for success.

While his classmates were walking the halls of Kings Mountain High School on Tuesday,�Ja'Quavion Linder was shipping off to Basic Training.
Linder enlisted in the United States Army Reserves in November while he was a senior at Kings Mountain High School. With some advanced planning, Linder was able to finish his courses during the fall semester.
�Linder motivated and pushed himself to finish high school early so he may ship to basic training and complete all required training to be back in time to start college by fall,� Shelby recruiter Staff Sgt. Casey Raza said.
Linder�s mom, Jameka Linder Williams, said her son was dedicated to sports early on, but his focus shifted mid-way through high school. He then<|fim_middle|>inder with the flexibility to achieve their own goals, she added.
�As educators, we�re always excited to see students set goals and reach goals,� Rikard said.
Like all early Kings Mountain graduates, Linder will be able to walk during the school�s graduation ceremony in June.
Graduation falls just after Linder completes his Advanced Individual Training, so his parents plan to fly up to watch him graduate from training before they all fly back for him to walk across the stage at Kings Mountain.
�It�s just a sense of completion,� Williams said. �I think every parent looks forward to their child graduating from high school. It�ll be different for us � we�re going to two graduations back to back.�
Casey White can be reached at 704-669-3339 or cwhite@shelbystar.com. | went to his parents with his decision to enlist.
Though it came as a surprise, Williams said she and Linder�s father were proud.
�To see him let that go and really focus on his school work and make the decision that he made, as his parents, we�re just really proud of him,� Williams said.
Linder left for his Basic Training on Tuesday, which will be followed by Advanced Individual Training. Completing both will allow Linder to head to North Carolina Central University in August.
But joining the Army Reserve will also help Linder walk away from school debt free.
His incentives include a Montgomery GI Bill kicker of $100 for 36 months, an enlistment bonus, a student loan repayment program of $10,000, the standard Select Reserve GI Bill of $13,500, and Federal Tuition Assistance of $4,500 per year in service for five years.
In total, Linder earned $51,600 toward his college education.
Linder was one of 30 students at Kings Mountain High School to graduate early in the 2018-19 school year, according to Principal Julie Rikard.
Rikard said the school has a number of students who choose early graduation to pursue opportunities like college, the military, or entering the workforce. Early graduation provides students like L | 284 |

The Internet of Things for an industrial equipment manufacturing business can prove to be a boon. When appropriately used, connected devices can help discover huge potential advantages at every stage—from new product development to delivery and after-sales maintenance and service. Let us look at the three main areas for IE manufacturers to drive profitability, leveraging IoT.
In global enterprises, the internet of things could provide a data stream that results in a comprehensive view of the productivity and performance of plants and equipment. Managers can then report on the information by product, country, facility, vendor, and other criteria. Connected devices can enable engineers to review real-time data, adjust test runs or environmental conditions based on observations and use the feedback in production. Connected sensors can also support inventory management, with smart alerts to prompt procurement to act when the level of required materials or components fall below a certain level. They can also ensure the productive utilization of expensive machinery and equipment by initiating production only when a pre-set threshold of demand has been achieved.
One of our customers, a Formula-1 team, and a maker of racing cars produces as much as 40TB of data in every test run. Mining and analysis of the accumulated data has proven to be helpful to the company to improve their processes, design, and bills-of<|fim_middle|> achieve more durable and higher-performing machinery.
They can draw out usage scenarios and conditions they did not anticipate, and modify their designs to better support the productivity and safety of their customers. For example, if manufacturers make machines that enable customers to produce devices or components, it is beneficial to understand the actual workloads and how they change over time.
The internet of things helps operation managers ensure the usage and efficiency of their equipment and facilities are at 100 percent or as close to it as possible, minimize downtime, and help identify and address any bottlenecks or under-utilization to maximize throughput and profitability. IoT and plant-floor data can be used to predict and prevent equipment failure, improve reliability and reduce downtime. Data collected would lead to insights which when applied right could upgrade the quality and minimize maintenance costs.
At a strategic level, if you aim to maximize the benefits of IoT, you need to incorporate it into your planning and business process management (BPM), to gain long-term value for your asset-driven business. To know more about how we can help you maximize your profitability, with better production and asset management, please fill the form below to get in touch with me. | -material, to produce faster, more reliable, and safer cars. The connected sensors on their car components deliver performance data and the real-time health of the components.
Likewise, manufacturers of industrial equipment can make their entire production area IoT enabled. For example, the equipment used in the production process like pumps, compressors, industrial trucks, tractors, cutting and machining equipment, etc., can be connected to generate usage data which can help determine their performance, safety, durability, and other critical values.
In summary, IoT helps close the loop between product design and testing, which in turn contributes to the profitability of an organization.
Industry equipment manufacturers can use IoT to study how their products perform in the next stage of their existence—once they are out of the factory and in use by customers. They can immediately spot any potential issues in operation small or big and take actions with faster diagnosis and a preventive plan. It also helps IEMs have a thorough understanding of how customers use their products. Based on the information received they could help customers avoid breakdowns and performance problems, and revise the design of products and components to | 223 |
Seth Jacobs had two rushing touchdowns for the Eagles. In a scary moment for Arroyo Grande as it looks forward to the playoffs, Garrett Owens was hurt in the fourth quarter, but he was able to walk off the field under his own power.

Unable to sustain momentum or stop Arroyo Grande's drives, San Luis Obispo's hopes for a share of the PAC 7 league title are all but over. The Eagles lead 35-6 heading into the final quarter of tonight's football game.
Seth Jacobs' second rushing touchdown of the game put the Eagles up 28-6 with 7:29 to go in the quarter. After San Luis Obispo turned the ball over on downs, Arroyo Grande converted on the short field with a 15-yard touchdown run by Brent VanderVeen.

Gabe Deleon leads the balanced attack with 48 yards and a touchdown on five carries. Garrett Owens has 43 yards and a touchdown, Brent VanderVeen has 42 rushing yards and Jacobs has 41 yards and a touchdown.
Flores has 35 yards and a touchdown for the Tigers. Erick Cordova has a team-high 38 rushing yards. The passing game has struggled as Garret Giovannelli is 3 for 7 for 57 yards and an interception.
Paso Robles' Kevan Garcia made two huge plays to overshadow rivalry counterpart Deontae Barnes of Atascadero, and the Bearcats went into the half of the football season finale with a lead on the Greyhounds.
With Atascadero (6-3, 3-2 PAC 7) threatening to go up by two scores, Garcia intercepted a pass in the end zone by Greyhounds quarterback Robert Berwick, then ran 80 yards for the go-ahead score on the very next play.
On his first carry of the game, Garcia's touchdown helped give the Bearcats their first lead with 41 seconds left in the second quarter.
The Greyhounds had a first-and-goal at the 9-yard line when Berwick scrambled away from a sack. Rolling right, he threw a pass between two Paso Robles defenders that Garcia caught for a touchback.
On the first play of the game, Barnes returned the opening kick 93 yards for a touchdown. After the Bearcats (2-7, 1-5 PAC 7) turned the ball over on a bobbled punt snap deep in Paso Robles territory, Barnes sprinted to the pylon for a 1-yard touchdown that gave Atascadero a 13-0 lead with 1:17 left in the first quarter.
Max Blanton had the other score for the Bearcats, taking a short pass 48 yards for a touchdown in the second quarter.

First-quarter update: In a drizzly game at Doug Hitchen Stadium tonight, Arroyo Grande High leads San Luis Obispo 14-0 after the first quarter in a PAC 7 football game.
Gabe Deleon scored on a 31-yard run with 8:31 to go in the quarter. Garrett Owens had a 32-yard scoring run right before the end of the quarter.
The Tigers had one scoring chance in the quarter, but Garret Giovannelli threw an interception at the goal line. Matt Willkomm returned it to the Eagles' 23-yard line. San Luis Obispo also had another turnover when they fumbled with under a minute to go in the quarter, setting up the second Eagles' touchdown.
Arroyo Grande (8-1, 5-0) would finish undefeated in the PAC 7 with a win. San Luis Obispo (7-2, 4-1) could tie the Eagles for the PAC 7 title if it wins.

There's an expression: "If You're Not at the Table, You're on the Menu." So, what does that have to do with advocating for energy efficiency in affordable housing? Quite a bit, actually.
Throughout the last five years, the National Housing Trust (NHT) has made it a priority to engage in forums where big decisions are made about<|fim_middle|> | who gets to benefit from investments in energy efficiency. Publicly regulated utilities spend approximately $8 billion a year on making buildings more energy efficient. All utility customers pay into these programs, but the benefits are not always equitably shared. On average, utilities spend just 9 percent of their energy efficiency budgets to benefit limited-income households. Meanwhile, roughly 15 percent of Americans live below the poverty line, and nearly a third of Americans are considered low-income.
The "tables" I'm talking about are utility regulatory proceedings where decisions are made about efficiency budgets, utility mergers, and customer utility rates. Too often these proceedings are dominated by big corporate interests. It's critical that voices of low-income communities are also heard. When they are, change can happen.
Since its inception, EEFA has secured $315 million in new energy efficiency funding for affordable multifamily housing as a result of "being at the table." This success can be attributed to our partners who are bringing low-income communities into these important debates.

County Hall hails new motorway link road
Lancashire County Council today hailed the opening of the new Bay Gateway linking the Heysham peninsula to the M6 at junction 34.
Tuesday, 1st November 2016, 9:30 am
Updated Wednesday, 16th November 2016, 4:49 pm
Celebrations at the opening of the Bay Gateway, the new M6 link road, Heysham, developed by Costain. Lancashire County Council leader Jennifer Mein (centre) with local delegates on the road before it opened to traffic.
This £140m project is the biggest new road to be built in Lancashire for decades and the autority said it is expected to boost economic growth by providing better access to the peninsula. Funded by £29m from County Hall and £111m from the Department for Transport, the road has been under construction since January 2014 by Costain. The 4.8km route completes the connection from the Heysham peninsula directly to the M6, providing better access to Morecambe and industrial areas which include the Port of Heysham and the Heysham power stations. It will also help to ease congestion in Lancaster city centre. The road has already veen credited with bringing economic benefits to the area, with more than 100 local long-term unemployed people being trained and employed during construction. It is predicted that for every £1 invested in the road, the local economy will benefit by £4. The project has seen 2m cubic metres of earth moved and 11 major new structures being built to cross existing roads, the West Coast Main Line railway, the Lancaster Canal and the River Lune. Efforts have also been made to reduce environmental impact, with the scheme's nine habitat creation areas ensuring an overall gain in biodiversity following construction, and 13 new trees due to be planted for every one felled. Work on the entire project is due to be completed during spring 2017, with aspects such as landscaping, motorway communications, and signing due to be finished over the winter. County Coun Jennifer Mein, Leader of Lancashire County Council, said: "The opening of the Bay Gateway is an enormous milestone for Lancashire. As well as immediately improving to travel in the north of the county, this road will bring major benefits to our economy over the coming decades. "This has always been far more than just a road building project - it will have a far reaching impact right across the county and beyond –<|fim_middle|> 2017 when we will hold events to mark its official opening." The spring opening allows for motorway communication works to be carried out on the M6 and there will be a continuation of the lane restrictions on the M6 up until that time. The main part of the Bay Gateway scheme involved constructing a 4.8km dual carriageway from the A589 between Morecambe and Lancaster to an upgraded junction 34 on the M6, with additional measures to improve transport in the city, including a major new park and ride site at junction 34. Heysham port, the third largest in the North West, is developing as a hub for services to Ireland. It is the supply base for major offshore gas fields and wind farms. The road will reduce congestion in the Lancaster area especially on Caton Road, Morecambe Road and the Greyhound and Skerton bridges, and in Carnforth. | not only reducing journey times, but transforming opportunities for businesses and people seeking employment. "It will create local jobs by improving travel to Heysham and Morecambe, and the port, power stations and nearby employment areas, while reducing congestion in Lancaster city centre." Andrew Jones, Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Transport, said: "Roads are key to helping people get on and get around and boosting the economy, and the Government is investing a record £15 billion to improve journeys. "This vital new link off the M6 will reduce travel times, ease congestion, create jobs and help deliver economic growth." County Coun Mein added: "Lancashire County Council has a proud history of road building – the Preston bypass which opened in 1958 was the first stretch of motorway in the UK. The Bay Gateway is another significant improvement to our transport infrastructure. "As is normal in the early life of a major road scheme, there will be some traffic management including temporary lane restrictions while aspects of the scheme such as landscaping, motorway communications and signing are completed - however it makes sense to be able to realise the benefits of the road for residents and businesses as soon as possible. "Weather permitting, we expect all activity to be completed by spring | 254 |
