The World’s Youngest Cruise Blogger?
A few days ago, we discovered there's a boy who is surely the youngest cruise blogger in the world. His name is Theo Robson and he is the grandson of close friends of ours, and for some reason cruising is his passion, to the point that he writes blogs about his cruise interests.
Theo’s website is called “This Kid Knows Cruises!” and while he doesn’t write every day — there is something called school, after all — he clearly spends a lot of time researching his subjects. For example, Theo can tell you the 55 biggest cruise ships in the world and all their vital statistics (gross tonnage, length, how many passengers, number of staterooms). He can tell you which cruise lines are best at responding to an 11-year-old who’s looking for information (Seabourn is his first choice). He can provide you with links to cruise lines and webcams that involve cruise ships.
Theo started down this path when he was just 18 months old. That’s when he first went on a cruise ship. That’s when the business of cruising began to get into his blood, which should tell cruise lines not to dismiss the value of having kids, even little kids, on their ships.
This kid is bound to be a cruiser for life. | 2019-04-20T18:34:23 | http://vitaluna.net/?tag=seabourn |

3rd faction issues with campaign?
Posted: Sat Mar 12, 2016 11:24 pm Post subject: 3rd faction issues with campaign?
I've been working on new (single player) maps and I tried to create a new faction for a mission.
It starts crashing on every single mission, even on the old missions like Tiberian Sun GDI mission 1. It gives me a (see attachment) IE in the loading screen. The only mission that doesn't crash is FS GDI first mission.
This faction is only inteded to use for single-player maps so I don't think I need to go through the tutorials in the forum which explains how to use the 3rd faction in multiplayer?
The only modded file (except battle.ini) with the new faction.
This one occurs on a custom test map with a minimum of just a few buildings and a few enemies on the map including the new side.
This IE occurs when I try to load TS GDI/NOD mission 1. According to renegadesproject site the issue is: "It was attempted to use a normal colored house on a multiplayer map."
Did you go through and modify the houses list on the campaign missions? | 2019-04-25T11:55:39 | http://ppmforums.com/viewtopic.php?p=542264 |
The world was shocked when Slovak journalist Jan Kuciak and his fiancée Kušnírová were murdered in their home in the Slovak town of Veľká Mača on Feb. 21, 2018. Kuciak had been working on an investigation involving the Calabrian mafia and its ties to influential political and business figures within Slovakia. Thousands filled the streets in the ensuing months, protesting corruption within the government. Among them was Zuzana Čaputová, a then-44-year-old environmental lawyer and activist who in 2016 was awarded a Goldman Environmental Prize for helping shut down toxic landfills in her hometown of Pezinok in western Slovakia.
Prime Minister Robert Fico, whose two tenures were marked in part by threats on the press and waning judicial independence, resigned amid public pressure on March 14. (He remains chairman of the ruling center-left SMER-SD party.) He was replaced by former Deputy Prime Minister Peter Pelligrini; critics warned that Pelligrini, a handpicked Fico successor, would offer more of the same.
Amid the scandal, Čaputová announced in May 2018 that she would run in the March 16 presidential election.
Among her campaign promises were improved long-term care facilities for the elderly, fighting state indifference towards climate and environmental issues and increasing accountability from the country’s police forces, prosecutors and judges.
International media sat up and took notice when, in February 2019, Čaputová surged to the top of opinion polls before easily winning the first round of elections in early March with 40.6 percent of the vote. Her main rival, Maroš Šefčovič, was backed by the SMER-SD party.
She easily won the March 30 runoff with 58 percent of the vote, becoming the first female president of Slovakia. She will take office in June. But it’s unclear how much she will really be able to change in Slovakia, a former Soviet state in the heart of Central Europe that some experts warn is at a crucial nexus between the democratic gains it has made since its split from Czechoslovakia in 1993 and a risk of illiberal backsliding.
A day before Čaputová was elected, press freedom group Reporters Without Borders warned that despite Kuciak’s murder, “nothing has been done in the past year to improve the environment for the media and strengthen protection for press freedom in Slovakia.” They cited a new law being debated in Parliament that would oblige Slovak media organizations to provide a “right of reply” to politicians for every instance of political coverage in the press. An open letter to Čaputová, co-signed by the European Centre for Press and Media Freedom and eight other press freedom groups, also warned against passing the law.
Čaputová’s ability to effect concrete changes may be difficult, however. Under Slovakia’s parliamentary system, the presidency is primarily a ceremonial, non-policymaking position.
What Čaputová will likely be able to do, according to both Tillman and Farkas, is use her influence to pressure the legislature towards her own democratic, pro-transparency platforms. This includes appointing judges and using her veto power.
These presidential powers may be stronger than meets the eye, according to Navrátil Matej, a research fellow at Comenius University in the Slovakian capital Bratislava (from where Čaputová also earned a law degree in 1996) and an associate researcher at the European Council on Foreign Relations. He pointed to a recent example from 2018 where the current president, Andrej Kiska, refused to appoint the prime minister’s nominee for Interior Minister.
A spokesman for Čaputová’s campaign declined to comment, citing a busy post-election schedule.
It’s a sentiment that, along with her anti-establishment tendencies, may yet define her inaugural five-year term.
“People in Slovakia are fed up with corruption, mainly after a number of scandals [that] became apparent with the death of investigative journalist Ján Kuciak and his fiancée Martina Kušnírová,” Navrátil said. “Hence, her anti-establishment changes should be understood in [the] context of Slovakia’s ongoing transition and as a process of further and deeper democratization, where stability and predictability of democratic institutions — formal and also informal ones — is of the highest importance. | 2019-04-18T19:20:40 | https://depauliaonline.com/40325/nation/caputova-triumphant/ |

Are you considering re-training to work in a completely new field? One particular job area that offers a good amount of job security in any economy is IT. You can also fit your studying around your current commitments by studying one of the online IT courses you will find on the internet.
Information technology has grown steadily and led to many new job roles that were not around a couple of decades ago. Regardless of whether you want to be a programmer, a systems analyst, IT consultant or anything in between, you must have the right training to be able to get started in this industry.
Online IT Courses – Which courses will you need to study?
This depends on which IT career you want to go into.
A good way to find out more is to look online for various job openings for the position you want to get.
These will have minimum requirements that candidates must meet. They should also tell you which qualifications will be required to be considered for the role. You can also look for a detailed breakdown of each job role in the IT industry. This will tell you what each job involves, which qualifications are needed and how long you can expect to study for before you can achieve your aims.
Remember that opting for an IT course online means fitting your studies around everything else you are doing. It may take a lot longer to attain the qualifications you need because you will not be studying full time.
England, Wales and Northern Ireland each have a regulatory body that reviews the content of courses on all kinds of different subjects.
For a qualification to be an accredited one it must have been reviewed and approved by each of these bodies. When you are looking through all the online IT courses that are available, make sure you can confirm that the course you choose is accredited and recognised as such by potential employers.
Some online courses are essentially worthless when it comes to giving you proper qualifications that can help you get a job in the IT industry. Make sure you know which courses to go for before you start.
In some cases – particularly with online universities such as The Open University – you will have the opportunity to attend tutorials in person. These are not obligatory but you should always find out what the requirements are and if you will be able to take part. Meeting your tutor in person can be a rewarding experience and a way to find out more information about the course and any particular part of it.
Can exams be taken online?
Most examinations will be taken online when you are studying an online IT course. You should confirm this with the particular course provider you will be studying with before you get started. Online study is not something you should jump into lightly. Always make sure you do your research and consider how the course work will fit into your normal day.
A little prior research will go a long way when you are choosing the online IT courses that will eventually lead to a brand new career. | 2019-04-23T06:56:04 | https://be-a.co.uk/online-it-courses/ |

President-elect Trump demanded an apology from the cast for making a rare, politically charged appeal from the stage on Friday night to Vice President-elect Mike Pence, who was in the audience, urging him and Mr. Trump to “uphold our American values” and “work on behalf of all of us.” Mr. Trump’s response significantly escalated an unusual protest inside a theater into a furor on social media and cable news.
Mr. Trump posted to Twitter a third time and deleted the tweet shortly after posting it Saturday night.
Mr. Trump framed the cast’s appeal as a violation of “a safe and special place” — borrowing a favored phrase of the left and of campus protesters; it was not clear whether he did so derisively or in earnest.
His maneuver, in two posts to Twitter early Saturday, stunned the cast members and, judging by social media, jolted many Americans who are worried about the president-elect’s tolerance for dissent after a campaign in which he was criticized for inflaming racial tensions. But it also touched off reaction among other Americans who treasure the traditions of, and respect for, the office of the presidency, and viewed the statement — and the booing of Mr. Pence by some theatergoers before the performance — as out of line.
Mr. Pence’s “Hamilton” seats were bought, not provided by the production as complimentary seats, according to two people with knowledge of the transaction.
Matt Borges, the chairman of the Ohio Republican Party, who was often critical of Mr. Trump this year, said that though he would always support free expression, he was dismayed that the left was demanding respect from Mr. Pence while lecturing him disrespectfully in the eyes of many on the right.
“It never ceases to amaze me how liberals desire acceptance and diversity for everything except political philosophy,” he said.
But many theater artists cheered the “Hamilton” cast on Saturday. “The theater will always be a place that encourages self-expression and free thinking — which is exactly what makes the art form so vital and, frankly, exciting,” said Heather Hitchens, president of the American Theater Wing, a nonprofit that supports the arts and helps oversee the Tony Awards.
The “Hamilton” company learned late Friday that Mr. Pence and his family members would be attending that night’s performance. The show’s creator, Lin-Manuel Miranda, and others discussed the appropriateness of making a statement from the stage and decided to do it only after the show was over. Remarks were written and refined, and after curtain call, Brandon Victor Dixon, who plays Vice President Aaron Burr, took a microphone and pointed toward Mr. Pence.
The “Hamilton” episode is the first major collision between the two Americas brought into sharp relief by the Nov. 8 election.
The values and politics championed by the cast are in conflict with the remarks and actions of Mr. Trump, who has called for deporting undocumented immigrants, has declined to forcefully denounce expressions of bigotry among his allies and has so far appointed only white men to major cabinet positions. He has also pledged to change libel laws and sue news media organizations whose coverage he does not like, and he has demonized street protesters who have criticized him.
Mr. Trump lashed out at the show, the most acclaimed Broadway production in years, at a time of demonstrations against his coming presidency. Those include frequent street protests outside Trump Tower along Fifth Avenue in Manhattan, which is less than a mile from the theater showing “Hamilton.” The president-elect has both castigated the protesters and, after being chided for doing so, praised them for their passion. Advisers, however, say he has been frustrated by the suspicion and hostility that the demonstrators and other Americans continue to hold about his election.
Mr. Trump’s escalation of the “Hamilton” matter also came a day after his $25 million settlement of a lawsuit against Trump University, leading some critics to claim online that he was trying to create a distraction amid negative attention to his surrender on a legal case he had vowed to fight.
Some Republican strategists said they were not surprised that Mr. Trump chose to attack “Hamilton,” noting that the president-elect believed deeply in trying to project strength in the face of any kind of opposition.
“President-elect Trump is signaling that he will fight for his team and his policies,” said Newt Gingrich, the former House speaker and a strong Trump supporter. “Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher would have approved,” a reference to the former conservative leader in Britain who often tangled with artists and the left.
But other Republicans said Mr. Trump’s posts on Twitter were inappropriate.
The statement from the “Hamilton” cast on Friday was, on one level, a breach of theater protocol: Rarely if ever do actors on stage directly address a member of the audience and throw down a gauntlet like Mr. Dixon and his castmates did. The actors, with guidance from the show’s creators and producers, chose to wait until the show had ended and they had taken their bows before breaking the wall between performers and audience. They did so, they said, because it was such a tense and anxious time for the country, and because they thought they would be remiss in not taking an opportunity to address Mr. Pence directly.
The still-simmering tensions over the election seemed close at hand. Mrs. Clinton, who held a fund-raiser at a “Hamilton” performance this summer, embraced many of the values and views that the cast members described. Mr. Trump, who loves the theater music of Andrew Lloyd Webber and invested in a Broadway play early in his career, is otherwise not in sync with the liberal political outlook of many in the theater world — at least since he adopted sharply more conservative positions recently after many years as a socially liberal New Yorker.
‘Hamilton’ Had Some Unscripted Lines for Pence. Trump Wasn’t Happy. | 2019-04-26T14:27:19 | https://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/20/us/politics/hamilton-cast-mike-pence-donald-trump.html?ref=topics&_r=0 |
SAN DIEGO - In baseball, early-season assumptions can be formed quickly. And as the Rockies proved Monday at Petco Park, they can also be questioned twice as fast.
Nolan Arenado‘s early power drought? Over, as the third baseman went deep for the second straight game in Colorado's convincing 5-2 victory over the Padres.
Back-end rotation questions? Quelled, at least for a night. Right-hander Antonio Senzatela, fresh off the injured list, delivered a strong performance with 6 a innings of one-run ball in his first start of 2019.
And while the offense didn't put together any particular hit brigades, Colorado's hitters had quality at-bats on the whole while the bullpen shut the door on the club's first consecutive wins since opening the season in Miami.
Ian Desmond initially gave Colorado a 2-0 lead with his double in the second, and that was followed by his first homer of the year on the first pitch of the seventh inning to make the score 4-1.
The center fielder's big night - when he became one of six Rockies to hit six or more homers at Petco Park with Colorado - epitomized an offense that chipped away at San Diego southpaw Joey Lucchesi. Beyond Arenado's tone-setting dinger in the sixth inning to push the score to 3-1, Charlie Blackmon also had an RBI groundout in the seventh.
Senzatela's lone blemish came by way of a Franmill Reyes solo homer in the fourth, but besides that, the Rockies were in control. They, behind strong starting pitching and a couple of big bats, looked like they knew how to win as they did in German Marquez‘s one-hit, complete game shutout Sunday against the Giants to snap the team's eight-game losing skid.
Carlos Estevez pitched 1 a clean innings of relief following Senzatela, touching 99 mph with his heater and flashing effective high-80s offspeed to keep hitters honest. Wade Davis then finished off the win with his first save of the season, albeit following Wil Meyers' mammoth 428-foot solo blast off Scott Oberg earlier in the ninth.

Viewers tuning into Fox for the Michigan-Purdue college football game at 4 PM ET instead found a Cubs-Brewers baseball game still going on.
Cubs-Brewers began at 1:05 PM, and given that baseball games frequently go on for three+ hours (especially when involving expanded September rosters and pitching changes in playoff races), it’s hardly surprising that a baseball game would go past the 4 PM time slot.
And, while most of the people tuning in for Purdue-Michigan probably didn’t care about the baseball game, it was a very important game for the NL Central and NL Wild Card races. So, it does makes sense that Fox stuck with the baseball game for its conclusion.
What doesn’t make much sense is that there wasn’t a bigger separation in start times for the games (though this can of course be difficult to work out, and Cubs-Brewers was already a very early time to accommodate Fox).
And what makes even less sense is that the start of the Michigan-Purdue game was moved to… Fox Business Network?
Oh, and Fox waited four minutes to go to Michigan-Purdue after the baseball game ended, to get their commercials in.
But it’s odd that Fox would choose to throw Michigan-Purdue on Fox Business, a channel that most people don’t even know exists. It’s hidden in the DirecTV listings on channel 359 (local channels are 1-100, sports channels are in the early 200s and 600s). Few sports bars are going to take the time to figure that out.
And the same thing happened for the beginning of the Maryland-UCF game, which was slated for a 3 PM ET start on FS1. NASCAR trucks racing was on FS1 into the 3 PM ET time slot, and the Maryland-UCF start was moved to Fox Business.
NASCAR trucks running long… UCF-Maryland shifted to Fox Business. Fox Business!
Naturally, viewers looking for these football games were quite angry with Fox.
Stupid. Why? I have 12-14 games a year. And, I don't have Fox Business. What the hell. Give me my football game damnit!
The worst part of this whole situation? Michigan-Purdue was the first in-conference game for Fox under their new Big Ten deal. Not exactly a great start to that partnership. | 2019-04-18T12:50:03 | https://awfulannouncing.com/fox/fox-business-network-new-home-big-ten-football.html |
The formula for the Legendary Uludağ Gazoz was developed by our Honorary President Nuri Erbak and guarded as a secret within the family for four generations. Since 1932, the product has been offered as an enjoyable, flavorful drink to consumers.
With a formula that has been guarded as a secret within the family for four generations, the Legendary Uludağ Gazoz with assorted fruit flavoring is produced from Uludağ water and granulated sugar derived from sugar beet. One of the most important qualities of the Legendary Uludağ Gazoz is its renowned bottle that has stood the test of time.
In 2003, we reintroduced the 250 ml legendary bottle used between 1966 and 1984 to Legendary Uludağ Gazoz fans. In 2011, we adapted the legendary bottle form to a 1 L PET bottle and put it on the market. Then, we launched the 330 ml metal can in 2013 and the 1,5 and 2,5 L PET bottle in 2016. | 2019-04-21T12:49:02 | https://www.uludagicecek.com.tr/en/our-products/carbonated-soft-drinks/legendary-uludag-gazoz |
Espousing the endeavor as a potential springboard for future entrepreneurs and community leaders, Happy State Bank officials hosted a Lemonade Day 2019 kickoff at the branch's downtown location on Thursday.
Officials said Happy State Bank is joining the Amarillo Education Foundation and the Amarillo Independent School District as presenting investors. They noted the Lemonade Day Program began in Houston in 2007, with the mission of serving as an inspiration for youths to learn the necessary steps to become an entrepreneur by opening their first business in the form of an official Lemonade Day stand.
"It's teaching entrepreneurship," Happy State Bank Chairman and CEO J. Pat Hickman said. "As a young boy I was given the opportunity, through the Boy Scouts, to sell things and put on different kinds of projects that taught me a lot of the basic principles I have today. This program covers everything from getting a business license to understanding government regulations and teaches the important principles of spending, saving and giving."
Officials said more than 600 students have signed up to participate in Amarillo's Lemonade Day 2019 on May 4, via the Amarillo Extended School Day Program, adding participants will have an opportunity to win lemonade stands built by Palo Duro High School students.
The project also involves partnering with Amarillo-based home supply businesses to teach children how to build their own lemonade stands, Hickman said.
"I promise, it's this kind of program that will create future community leaders," he said.
Officials said second through fifth grade students will receive support materials and interested students not registered through the AISD Extended Day Program are urged to register at lemonadeday.org/amarillo before May 4 to receive the free interactive Lemonade Day program, Lemonopolis, online. | 2019-04-18T13:14:00 | https://www.amarillo.com/news/20190411/happy-state-bank-hosts-lemonade-day-2019-kickoff |

Finding places with vegan options can be difficult, but with a little research and ingenuity, eating out is easy! Whether you’re a full-time vegan, or you’re trying to reduce your carbon footprint and animal product consumption through Meatless Mondays, these tips will help you at restaurants in San Jose.
A vegan’s worst nightmare is showing up at a restaurant to find the only option is an iceberg salad. Google before you go to find the best vegan pizza in San Jose or locate cafes that serve soy milk or dairy- and egg-free treats.
Restaurants that allow you to craft your own meals are often vegan friendly. With our build your own pizza option, for example, you can easily transform a dairy-heavy pizza into a plant-based option with our delicious vegan cheese.
Many cuisines from around the world minimize animal products and offer far more vegan options. Some restaurants, for example, have plenty of dishes that are either already vegan or that can be easily modified if you hold the cheese or fish sauce.
As more people go vegan, restaurants in San Jose are becoming more knowledgeable and willing to work with customers to create enjoyable dining experiences. If there’s nothing vegan on the menu, talk to your server and see if he or she has suggestions. Don’t be afraid to ask if menu items aren’t clearly vegan. Accidentally wind up with a plate full of cheese? Mistakes happen in the kitchen; just offer a friendly reminder of what you ordered, and your server should be able to correct your meal.
Vegan is even an option if you love pizza! At Take One Pizza, we have gluten-free and vegan cheese options. Please stop in to see us; we’d be happy to serve you up an absolutely delicious and nutritious vegan pizza! | 2019-04-22T15:05:20 | http://www.takeonepizza.com/blog/index.php/vegan-pizza-san-jose/ |

Widely considered one of the greatest singers of his generation, Jamaican-born bass-baritone Willard White made his professional operatic debut with New York City Opera, where he played the character of Colline in La Bohème in 1974. His European debut was with Welsh National Opera in Cardiff, Wales, where he played Osmin in Mozart's The Abduction from the Seraglio in 1974. He has since gone on to perform in the world's major opera houses and his powerful voice and commanding stage presence have made him a popular and admired singer across a wide range of musical styles. White is best known for performing as Mephistopheles in The Damnation of Faust, a role he has played many times. Besides the traditional classical repertoire he is celebrated for his performances as Porgy in Porgy and Bess. White was honored as a Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in 1995 and received a knighthood from Queen Elizabeth II in 2004.
Willard White was born on October 10, 1946, in St. Catherine, Jamaica, the son of a dockworker, Egbert, and Gertrude White. His supportive but non-musical family recognized his talent and White attended the Jamaican School of Music before moving to New York and the Juiliard School, where he studied with Maria Callas. He married Gillian Jackson in 1974 and they have three sons and a daughter; he also has three children from his second marriage. White made his first professional appearances in 1974 when he performed with the New York City Opera in La Bohème, and with Welsh National Opera, playing Osmin on Mozart's The Abduction from the Seraglio. In 1976 he performed for the first time with English National Opera and also made his first appearance at the Glyndebourne Festival in 1978 as the Speaker in The Magic Flute; he returned to Glyndebourne in 1986 as Porgy in George Gershwin's Porgy and Bess.
White's reputation as a singer rests on his warm, powerful voice and his stage presence, but his career is also remarkable for the range of music he has performed successfully. He has become world famous for his menacing Mephistopheles in Berlioz's The Damnation of Faust, as well as other major roles from the classical operatic repertoire. But he is also celebrated for his stage performances and his recording as Porgy in Porgy and Bess, and for solo performances in 1999 and 2000 at the BBC's "The Last Night of the Proms" concert in London, the biggest event of the British classical music calendar, and one that reaches a global audience of many millions. He has also performed in numerous concert performances of operatic arias, and songs, including singing at the opening of the Millennium Dome as part of London's celebrations at the start of the twenty-first century.
White's career as an opera singer has taken him to the great opera houses of the world, including those in London, New York, Salzburg, San Francisco, Sydney, and Milan. He has sung with the world's most celebrated orchestras, such as the London Symphony Orchestra, the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra, and the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, and performed most of the major operatic roles for bass-baritone. White's versatility extends beyond music into stage acting and he has appeared as Othello with the Royal Shakespeare Company to considerable acclaim; after Paul Robeson he is reputedly only the second singer to play Shakespeare's most famous black character. In fact White has often been compared with Robeson and has paid tribute to him with a series of concerts based on his repertoire, entitled "An Evening with Willard White—A Tribute to Paul Robeson." In particular the song "Ol' Man River," which Robeson made famous, has become one of White's trademarks.
White is a popular performer with a reputation for bringing emotional and intellectual intensity to the projects in which he is involved. He has been married twice and has seven children; he lives in London.

Halloween was more than a week ago, but it’s never too late to find out which celebrity couldn’t resist mocking an entire race with their costume. A photo of country megastar Jason Aldean has popped up on country blog Nashville Gab, where he’s pictured in blackface and fake dreads. Astonishingly, even worse: He isn’t denying that it’s him. A representative for Aldean has confirmed the photo is real and that he was “dressed as rapper Lil’ Wayne.” His rep hasn’t, however, confirmed that Aldean darkened his skin, although it’s clear from the photo that he has. The country singer has yet to issue an apology for his 100 percent not-accidentally racist costume, but he may want to start with Lil’ Wayne if he does: Aldean and Wayne are two of Tidal’s artist-owners, meaning Aldean appropriated his own business partner. | 2019-04-19T22:39:30 | https://www.vulture.com/2015/11/jason-aldean-wore-blackface-on-halloween.html |

There is an abundance of reasonably priced cafés and restaurants on the Prado and around Plaza Colón but if you fancy treating yourself to something a little more upmarket then La Cantonata is the place to go.
An elegant and sophisticated Italian restaurant, you’ll have to change into your poshest rags to fit in but it’s well worth splashing out.
There is a wide selection of traditional Italian fare but look out for the chef’s specials which change daily and you’ll be sure to find something to suit every taste. The fresh pasta dishes in particular are mouth-wateringly good.
The only downside is that the restaurant was completely empty until after 9pm and the drinks were lukewarm. Once the place fills up though there is a nice relaxed ambience and the staff were all extremely friendly and helpful.
If you’ve got Bs 60 burning a hole in your pocket and feel like treating yourself to a good meal – this is the place to do it before heading out to one of the nearby bars. | 2019-04-20T15:22:45 | http://www.bolivia-guide.com/topic-topicid-225-catid-748-value-225-e1-2-axcityid-47.htm |

An elderly Burton ex-carpenter did not develop signs of a "horrible" asbestos-related disease until half a century after he was exposed to it, an inquest heard.
Timothy Swift died at his home address of Shelley Avenue, Horninglow, on Friday, November 9, 2018.
The 81-year-old former carpenter joiner was diagnosed with malignant mesothelioma, a type of cancer which develops in the lining of the body's organs.
Typically, this is linked with exposure to asbestos.
An inquest into Mr Shelley's death held at Burton Town Hall heard that his only known exposure to asbestos came between 1967 and 1969.
Despite this he did not show any symptoms of mesothelioma until 50 years later, in March or April 2018.
Details from his family, read out at the inquest, said: "He worked all his life as a carpenter joiner for a company in Burton.
"He worked from around 1967 to 1969 at a carpenters, where he was exposed to others cutting asbestos sheets."
Concluding, South Staffordshire coroner Andrew Haigh said: "In the early part of last year as a result of Mr Swift becoming unwell he was diagnosed with the horrible condition of mesothelioma.
"There is no effective treatment, that condition is almost always associated with exposure to asbestos dust and commonly with a long latency period between exposure and symptoms.
"Overall on balance I am satisfied that this death was from mesothelioma, this has been caused by exposure to asbestos dust.
"The exposure to asbestos dust is likely to have occurred at the workplace so this should be considered an occupational linked death."
Mr Haigh ruled Mr Swift's death was caused by mesothelioma , with type two diabetes a contributing factor.
The Coroner concluded death was due to industrial disease. | 2019-04-18T19:18:00 | https://www.derbytelegraph.co.uk/burton/timothy-swift-inquest-mesothelioma-asbestos-2439116 |
Game one is officially under our belts. Jan Snyder offers her post game thoughts, plus tidbits like Detroit Rock Bands, a new job description for Yzerman and Lemieux, and the best place to catch the SCF in Houston...for a Penguins fan that is.
Although the Pens didn’t play too badly and they had a fairly loud cheering section, they went down to defeat at the hands of the Redwings, 4-0. The score seems a little misleading since two of those four goals came very near the end of the game.
Both teams displayed their skills, fore-checking, back-checking, shot blocking, and skating. And each goaltender played pretty well, making some great saves. I will agree with the Detroit fans and their signs – Osgood – So good. When he makes a big save, the fans chant, “Ozzie, Ozzie” and they play the OH-WE-OH, OH-OH music from The Wizard of Oz. All that’s missing are the flying monkeys!
With such great players on the Redwings, it’s hard, even for a Penguin fan, to dislike them. Zetterberg and Datysuk and many others are just so good and there is just such a healthy respect for the play of Niklas Lidstrom. Maybe as the series wears on, we’ll develop some “hatred”, but as of yet, none.
This game was just what we were all expecting, I think. Fast and furious, great shots, great saves, bit hits, big stops – everything we hope to see from both sides all through the series.
Mikael Samuelsson gave the Wings a two-goal lead completely by himself! Two unassisted goals, one in the second period and one early in the third. Even though the Pens had four power plays in the first period, they were unable to convert any chances and that hurt. One goal there could have made a big difference.
Maybe we should have seen this loss coming when Fleury tripped and fell coming onto the ice! But he didn’t play that badly either, stopping 32 shots, a couple of which were beauties. Now Game One is out of the way, the Pens have seen what they are up against, will make corrections, and we’ll see how Game Two goes.
I think the NHL should consider having Mario Lemieux and Steve Yzerman take their show on the road for a different NHL game every night! Those two are very easy on the hockey fan’s eyes and seeing them drop the ceremonial puck was a unique treat tonight. Since we can’t watch them work their special magic on the ice any more, maybe they can be ambassadors and do more puck drops around the league.
I think the Stanley Cup logo the players are wearing on the uniforms blends much better with the black and gold uniforms than the red. Hope that is a good omen!
I think that even though I love Kid Rock, Bob Seger, Ted Nugent and Kiss, I don’t want to hear any of their music for the next couple of weeks. Not Kid Rock’s lyric, “I’m in it to win it like Yzerman”, not Kiss’ “Detroit Rock City”, no “Old Time Rock and Roll” from Seger not even “Cat Scratch Fever” from the Motor City Madman.
I think it’s amazing and good for the future of the Pens that the Baby Pens of Wilkes-Barre Scranton in the AHL are also in the finals and playing for the Calder Cup. They will face the Chicago Wolves. Let’s Go, Baby Pens!
I think twirling dead octopi is a disgusting ritual! And must be smelly too. Where is PETA when we need them?
I think Stanley is looking particularly shiny this season! Maybe because he’s within reach?
I think it’s wonderful that there is a place called Steel City Pizza just a few blocks from my house here in Texas that is a shrine to Pittsburgh sports. When I drove by yesterday and saw their sign reading: “Let’s Go, Pens! Watch the Stanley Cup Finals here at Steel City”, I felt quite connected to the city of my birth. And they have great pizza.
I think I would like a donut next Tuesday morning – Let’s Go, Pens! | 2019-04-22T08:21:20 | http://hockeyandhighheels.com/lounge_columns/07_08_season/jan_columns/mowed_down_in_motown.html |

The 2011 NFL season had a lot of different story lines; from Tebow to Green Bay’s run to San Francisco coming from nowhere. However the biggest story, as far as we are concerned, was the concussion issue. Looking back at last year we posted our final numbers for 2010 and some thoughts going forward.
Of the suggestions proposed in the wrap-up last year the only issue addressed (kind of) was the awareness component. This is actually not measurable, however with the increase in the number of concussions this year I would confidently say that it was better. As for the NFL Concussion database, we don’t know, hopefully that did occur (or perhaps this is their database). The other proposal of having different helmets on different positions; that was a stretch to get done, but it still stands true, as some positions are more likely to sustain a concussion. The NFL did add some components for safety: officials on the look out and an athletic trainer in the press box to find concussions that may be missed.
There are some trends that remain the same after last year: defensive backs are the position with the most concussions and offensive lineman saw a huge jump in concussions as the season wore on. The DB issue is one of speed and improper tackling technique, where as the offensive lineman cases are a little disconcerting. Research and evidence shows us that there is a compiling effect of traumatic forces to the brain. The sub-concussive hits can be just as dangerous over a long period of time, and they eventually manifest themselves as concussions or worse as the players age. There were actually more concussions for the offensive lineman over all and the reporting seemed to be consistent all year (late spike), what was not as evident was the number of OL losing the season due to concussions.
As we look at the following statistics remember these numbers are for regular season action only. They do not include the 46 preseason concussions found, nor any of the post season concussions. After this first set of numbers we will include the preseason numbers for comparison to last year.
The 200+ concussions should not come as a surprise, as we told you to expect that back in the preseason, the main reason being the better reporting of the issue. Players seemed to capitulate, slightly, to the injury as the season wore on, yet there is still the stigma present in the game. It surely would be nice to see the NFL take the route the NHL seems to be taking, at least it is trickling down to the adolescent levels. There are still issues with the reporting of the injury for what ever reason, as evident with some teams. For example of the 384 found concussions the past two years Cincinnati has only reported THREE or 0.78% of all concussions, Tampa Bay, Houston and Buffalo are not much better, if the injury was truly random then each team should be reporting about 12 a year. There are teams that do deserve a ton of credit for being what I believe to be forthright with concussions: Oakland, Cleveland, Carolina, Minnesota, Baltimore and St. Louis. Those teams have been at the top the last two years: 21, 21, 21, 19, 19, 19 respectively, comprising 31.25% of all the concussions the last two years. Those teams that have the higher reporting numbers seem to be more near the actual number than those at the bottom.
Create a truly independent think tank. This think tank should be composed of various types of people and ones that are not concerned about what they find or say. Just like taking a band-aid off, this group would be good at getting the necessary information and providing recommendations no matter how critical or imposing they may seem. Their information should be transparent and thorough. I believe this group should be composed of the following 20 people: 4 independent researchers, 2 independent neuropsychologists, 2 independent physicians, 2 psychologists, 1 active NFL athletic trainer, 1 college athletic trainer, 1 high school athletic trainer, 2 media personalities, 2 active NFL players, 2 former NFL players, 1 current NFL Head Neck & Spine Committee member.
Compile and publish a concussion database for NFL injuries that includes at the least: total number of career concussions, time missed.
Again look for the proper helmet for the position, let alone get rid of all helmets that are technologically older than 15 years. This would mean the removal of the old model Riddell, Shutt and Adams.
Use the league and players to promote the proper management of concussions, including full rest until asymptomatic then a graded stepwise recovery. This may be different from professional players but make that clear, adolescent brains are different from that of the mature adult.
We will continue to track what concussions we can find in the post season. It is rather difficult, but those numbers will be included after the Super Bowl for an over all total for 2011.
I would like to thank everyone that has helped in the data collection and crunching of stats. Although we feel this is a VERY GOOD data set, it is far from 100% correct there are still limitations. Again, we do think this is the most comprehensive and correct number associated with concussions in the NFL at this time.
It is pretty suspect that HOUSTON had 2 concussion in one game in the preseason, but none in any other games and CIN had no concussions all year. I think you are correct when you say that there should be more like 12 per team, which would about double the total number of concussions. Concussions from practices and training camp I am sure are drastically under-reported.
The helmet issue is one that needs to be addressed by the NFL. Many players still wear the old Riddell helmets and use only a single strap-type chinstrap. Studies show that having double chinstraps is much safer. QBs such as Aaron Rodgers wear the single chinstrap and older style helmet. It is surprising that players who have concussions won’t change their helmets to the newer styles.
Based on your data it seems clear that most of the concussions occur in the secondary. Offensive and defensive linemen have the lowest rates of concussions while RB, TE, WR, and DBs have the highest rates of concussion. Do you agree? If so, could we focus on changes in game play associated hits in the secondary?
One thing I see as unnecessary in the game are big hits on receivers or ball carriers in the open field when the defender doesn’t make an effort to wrap up. When defenders try to separate the ball from ball-carrier by impact alone, it not only results in concussions, but it also is probably bad defense. How many times have we seen a defender lay a big hit on a ball-carrier who merely bounces off and keeps on running? I think we could change the rule so that hitting without trying to wrap up, or going for the ball, is illegal. | 2019-04-23T09:58:59 | https://theconcussionblog.com/2012/01/10/2011-concussion-report-end-of-regular-season/ |
Everyone experiences schizophrenia differently. Understanding the signs, symptoms, and effects of schizophrenia is a key component of starting the recovery journey.
One of the most serious mental health conditions that can be diagnosed in a person is schizophrenia. Characterized by the presence of symptoms that adversely affect how a person thinks and acts, this disorder can cause insurmountable disruption to a person’s life. The ability to think clearly, decipher between what is real and what is not, and appropriately expressing emotions are all compromised when this disorder is present. Furthermore, the symptoms associated with schizophrenia can cause a great deal of distress for a person such that delusions and hallucinations can cause intense feelings of fear, paranoia, and worry on an ongoing basis.
Neglecting to treat this condition can also bring about a number of consequences that can jeopardize a person’s livelihood and health. Substance abuse, self-harm, and engaging in other risky behaviors are common among those who do not seek treatment for schizophrenia. However, this mental health condition is very treatable and can help people afflicted by it learn to manage symptoms and lead healthy, functional lives. The combination of medications and therapeutic interventions have proven successful in restoring functioning and reducing the chances of a person experiencing the detrimental effects that can occur when grappling with schizophrenia.
Schizophrenia is a mental health condition that is believed to affect an estimated 24 million people worldwide. The World Health Organization determined that nearly half of those diagnosed with schizophrenia do not receive treatment for this severe mental health disorder. Lastly, it has been said that schizophrenia affects men and women equally and that every person has a 1% chance of eventually displaying signs and symptoms at some point in life.
Genetics: Research has concluded that schizophrenia can be heritable. The reason for this conclusion is due to the fact that this mental health condition has been found to run in families. Furthermore, additional research has found that those with a family history of schizophrenia account for 10% of all people who meet criteria for a schizophrenia diagnosis.
Physical: Deficiencies in certain neurotransmitters are known to occur in those with schizophrenia. Dopamine and serotonin, chemicals in the brain that are responsible for regulating emotions, have been found in lower amounts in the brains of those with schizophrenia and could explain the manifestation of symptoms of this disorder. Additionally, neuroimaging studies have concluded that individuals suffering from schizophrenia exhibit structural changes in their brains as the ventricle lobes of these individuals are found to be enlarged.
Environmental: Certain environmental influences are known to trigger the onset of schizophrenia symptoms. Prenatal exposure to toxins and viruses, as well as poor nutrition while in utero, is known to increase the likelihood that a person will eventually display signs and symptoms of this mental disorder. Complications during childbirth are also believed to increase the risk as trauma to the brain can also contribute to the development of schizophrenia. | 2019-04-20T18:36:32 | https://www.shakerclinic.com/schizophrenia/symptoms-effects/ |
Panka Peruvian restaurant will open in January on Ingersoll Avenue in Des Moines.
Des Moines is getting another infusion of international cuisine. Panka, a Peruvian restaurant, will open in mid-January on Ingersoll Avenue in the space that Pita Pit formerly occupied.
Fabiola Carlin and Mariela Maya, both originally from Peru, will own the eatery at 2708 Ingersoll Ave.
The restaurant will serve traditional Peruvian dishes like ceviche, lomo saltabo (beef stir fry), and chupe (shrimp bisque with rice and queso fresco), said Carlin.
About four blocks east on Ingersoll, BAH Brazilian steakhouse opened last week; Lola's Fine Kitchen, which serves Pakistani and Filipino dishes opened in May in Ankeny's Prairie Trail development; Puerto Rico Restaurant debuted in June in Windsor Heights; and Hidalgo Mexican Bar and Grill opened last week in Urbandale. Another Brazilian steakhouse, Brazil Terra Grill, is getting set to open in West Des Moines.
Carlin had worked in the hospitality industry while living in Peru. She moved to Des Moines with her husband, a pediatric gastroenterologist at Blank Children’s Hospital. She and Maya, a lifelong friend, have been planning the restaurant for about a year. They are bringing a famed Peruvian chef to Des Moines to train local chefs in preparing Peruvian dishes, Carlin said.
She described Peruvian food as “colorful with some spice to it. And lime juice is one of our crucial ingredients, which makes the food very bright.” Panka, named for the chili peppers used in Peruvian cooking, will seat 49 and be open for lunch and dinner, Carlin said.
Hours will be 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday; noon to 5 p.m. Sunday; and closed Monday. | 2019-04-24T12:25:29 | https://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/money/business/new-business/2018/12/06/des-moines-first-peruvian-restaurant-open-2019/2225137002/ |

Easy Strawberry Jello Fruit Salad is a retro recipe that’s perfect for spring and summer holidays, parties and potlucks. You’ll love this foamy pink treat!
I found this fun retro strawberry Jello salad among my grandmother’s old recipes, although it was actually in my mom’s writing. The weird thing is that I don’t ever remember her making this. I know I’ve had a similar Jello salad before — probably at a church potluck or something like that. So, I asked my parents about it, and they both agreed that my mom probably got the recipe from my grandma but never made it herself.
It’s not that we never had Jello — We definitely did. But it was usually served plain, without fruit. I’ve never been a big fan of fruit in Jello, so plain was fine with me!
But last year, I made strawberry pretzel salad and a lime Jello salad that was one of the Hubs’ favorite dessert salads when he was growing up, and I actually liked it. So, I knew this strawberry Jello salad would be just as good. And actually, it’s even better!
This strawberry Jello fruit salad is definitely more of a dessert salad. It’s pink, sweet and kind of foamy. And it’s loaded with strawberries, which is always a good thing! It’s also super easy to make.
Basically, you just start out like you’re making regular Jello. You mix the gelatin with hot and cold water, and then you put it into the fridge to thicken up a little bit. Then, you stir in frozen strawberries, which helps the mixture to firm up.
Next, you use a wire whisk to whip the mix until it resembles broken-up Jello, and then, you gently fold in whipped topping. Keep it in the fridge until you’re ready to eat, and that’s it!
I know it’s not a healthy salad recipe, but hey, it does have fruit! And besides, I’m a sucker for vintage recipes — when you make them and taste them, it’s like stepping back in time. Who’s with me on that?!
Strawberry Jello Fruit Salad is a light, foamy pink retro recipe made with strawberries, whipped topping and Jello. It's perfect for spring and summer holidays, parties and potlucks!
Save money, and make your own frozen strawberries by slicing fresh strawberries, transferring to a large zip-top freezer bag and placing in freezer until frozen!
There is no cooking involved in this recipe, but there are refrigeration times, so it takes about one hour for it to be ready.
My family scarfed this strawberry Jello fruit salad down like there was no tomorrow — they loved it! It’s perfect for Easter, Mother’s Day, potlucks or any spring or summer gathering.
I hope you enjoy it as much as we did. And if you grew up with this retro salad, let me know.
I’m not sure if this is the same recipe. We use to make strawberry whip. But it was in a round bowl and you would scoop out a serving. Does it sound familiar to you ?
I’ve heard the name before, but I can’t say for sure if it’s the same recipe. You can definitely serve this in a bowl and scoop it out.
I haven’t done this, but you should be able to. | 2019-04-19T09:04:35 | https://www.meatloafandmelodrama.com/strawberry-jello-fruit-salad/ |

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. That’s a law of physics in this physical dimension. There is also a Universal law of “cause and effect.” The circumstances you are living in at this exact moment are a direct result of all the thoughts that you have created. Thoughts are real; they are made up of energy, color and density, designed and propelled by your intention. The Universe, in turn, will perfectly respond to the thought energy you have created. If you desire a life full of love, happiness, and abundance, you must be mindful of your thoughts, because you are the director of your destiny. Think of yourself as a magnet—attracting to you what you send out. It is imperative that your thoughts be of a high vibration, because the energy of judgment and condemnation will find its way back to you. What you sow, you will reap. So make it a daily practice to monitor your thoughts. Let love be your guide!
I couldn’t sleep until 2 am last night. I couldn’t stop thinking about work. I put on a meditation audio in the background as I try to sleep and after 10 seconds focusing on the voice and my breath, my mind was back to roaming freely, well not freely, since my mind was a hostage to all my worries, thoughts, concerns about work.
Why is it so hard to control the mind? When would I be able to control my mind like it’s mine? The answer probably is never.
Of course it was harder to wake up at 5 am today and I lingered in the bed for extra 30 minutes. Finally I got myself up, lit the candles, burnt the sage and palo santo stick and started on my mat. It was extremely hard to focus on my breath and body today. I stayed in my head throughout many sequences, not even noticing that I’m moving.
People say that Yoga is meditation in motion. And that’s true. Four limbs out of eight limbs of Yoga focus on meditation. So it maybe is more important to control our mind than physical asana.
Even though I know that I won’t be able to control my mind, when my mind is roaming freely, I get nervous and anxious. Because I’m afraid negative thoughts that I’m having will alter my reality and attract more negative situations in my life.
Maybe my obsession to control my mind is the reason of my suffering. We have 60,000 thoughts a day on average. I have to acknowledge that we can’t control all the thoughts in our mind and that positive thoughts are much more powerful and influential than negative thoughts.
Also it’s a habit, Karma, what happens in our mind. And we can get rid of bad habits and create new, good ones. I have become more grateful, positive, happy over time by practicing. I can’t be impatient, one step at a time. If I take care of my mind with love and care over time, positivity will bloom. | 2019-04-23T13:52:50 | https://universeofdahee.com/2018/12/05/december-5-cause-and-effect/ |

I have an old enough vehicle that all it has is a cassette tape player, so I took out a group of motivation tapes and started listening to them on a long drive. One side was by Jeremy Stansfield talking about the effects of fear. His definition of fear was the basis of the title of this article. His definition was “False Evidence Appearing Real.” Things in our lives may appear to be more difficult than they really are or we are frozen in our own steps so that we cannot achieve what we truly desire. How many times in our lives have we really wanted something, but were afraid to do what was needed to achieve that goal? If we want to overcome our own fear, we need to plan and do what it takes to overcome that fear. It could be talking in front of large groups of people, it could be being alone with someone we like a lot (before we were married). There are all sorts of triggers to our fears. It could be as simple as forgetting what we wanted to say at a 2nd grade show-and-tell, or it could be a big presentation we tried to give at a major event. Either way can build in a fear that we might fail again. Unfortunately, too often, the fear comes from trying to do something we have never done before. The way I overcome this is thinking back on a time when I tried something new and succeeded. Jeremy talks about learning how to waterski. For me, it was just deciding to go out and learn how to ride a bicycle in one day. When I think about doing something new that is hard in my field, I think about the first three days of my Masters program in Computer Science. I had only written assembler and FORTRAN code on paper tape and punch cards. On Monday we were give an assignment to write five LISP programs and use a terminal to store them and turn them into the professor via a drop-box by Wednesday. That was a fun three (actually two) days. It is amazing how even related experiences might leave us a bit afraid. For example, I have talked at technical conferences in front of 1,000 engineers. I really did enjoy that experience. But presenting my business to a friend and new acquaintances can give me quite a few butterflies.
The only way I have learned to get over my fears is to take action. Practice is one of the keys. Another is listening to people we admire in order to improve ourselves. There are a few people that everyone knows that are excellent motivators. The more I read, the more I realize that Jim Rohn is one person whom most of the motivational speakers I know truly admire. I am listening to his tapes as much as possible. He would be the first person to point out that action is the only way to overcome fear. Jim is a big advocate of keeping a journal and setting goals with measuring techniques to track how you are achieving those goals. I am working with my son to build our business. We will have daily meetings where we can discuss daily goals and hold each other accountable. Good luck (and skill) with all that you do.

Thank you. I like your article in the New Zealand Herals about the Wheels coming off of Motivational Speakers. Is there a reason for sharing this article?
Looking forward to reading more. Great article. Much thanks again. Much obliged.
What’s up it’s me, I am also visiting this web site on a regular basis, this web site is truly fastidious and the people are truly sharing nice thoughts.
Great site you have here but I was wanting to know if you knew of any user discussion forums that cover the same topics discussed here? I’d really like to be a part of group where I can get opinions from other knowledgeable individuals that share the same interest.
I’m impressed, I have to admit. Rarely do I come across a blog that’s equally educative and interesting, and let me tell you, you’ve hit the nail on the head. The issue is an issue that too few folks are speaking intelligently about. I am very happy I came across this during my search for something concerning this.
Thank you, I will follow my heart. I hope you do the same. I am sending to you an occasional e-mail of articles in which you might be interested.

The sun was setting as I took the 20-minute taxi ride from the airport into downtown Philadelphia.
The skies were golden orange behind the city skyline and the sun bounced off the skyscrapers as I got closer to the city. Passing by the first of many mind-blowing pieces of street art, I knew I was going to enjoy my visit to the sixth largest city in the U.S.
The next morning, I jumped out of bed at the Sonesta Philadelphia Downtown Hotel, excited to take on one of the most famous locations in the city. I stretched, took a deep breath, and set my iPod to the famous “Rocky” theme song for inspiration, before joining numerous other tourists making a mad dash up the 72 steps (known worldwide as “The Rocky Steps”) that lead to the Philadelphia Museum of Art. At the top, a little out of breath, I did the obligatory celebration, throwing my arms above my head and punching the air. The view of the city’s skyline from where I stood was amazing.
I couldn’t leave without also taking the time to stroll through the museum and marvel at the more than 200 galleries containing over 240,000 objects from around the world. My next stop was a 10-minute stroll along Museum Mile over to The Barnes Foundation, which is home to one of the finest and largest private art collections of early and post-impressionist paintings in the world.
Of course, I wasn’t going to miss out on shopping while on holiday! After a delicious Asian Chicken Salad at The Continental Midtown, I strolled over to Century 21, which offers up to 65 percent off retail prices and is the perfect place to spend some time. I was able to load up my partially empty suitcase with tax-free clothing and shoes.
Then I headed over to Rittenhouse Square to lay out a blanket and take in the goings on around me. The square was full of locals and tourists alike, enjoying the sunny weather and having picnics. There was also a brass band and a couple of street artists to keep me entertained. I crossed the street and grabbed an outside seat at Stephen Starr’s Parc Restaurant and enjoyed a succulent shrimp salad with a glass of champagne (how could I not?). I was at a perfect vantage point to people watch.
Finally, before heading back to the hotel, I walked over to the most historic square mile in the country at Independence National Historical Park. Here I saw Independence Hall, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the famous Liberty Bell. Interestingly enough, I learned that the bell had been made in England in 1751.
First thing the following morning, before driving on to my next destination, I walked over to Reading Terminal Market for a slap-up breakfast sandwich of eggs, bacon and cheese at the Down Home Diner. The Market features row upon row of stalls selling every kind of food you could imagine. From Amish donuts to hand-crafted chocolate, I stocked up for my impending road trip.
The safe, easy-to-walk and compact city of Philadelphia will surprise and delight visitors at every turn, and is definitely a destination to include on your next U.S.-bound holiday. | 2019-04-23T17:01:12 | https://traveltrade.visittheusa.com/experience/philadelphia-pennsylvania-history-culture-and-dining |

We have already seen street protests in a few places including Norway (photo above; here is a video and the full story). The BSI (UK) came under legal fire as well. The European Commission is dealing with several investigations as complaints continue to come (more recently from BECTA, whose formal complaint was added to the pile).
As we emphasised before, over two weeks remain until finalisation and now comes Denmark with a complaint that’s very revealing.
The city of Aarhus has posted an official complaint to Danish Standards regarding the result of the Danish YES-vote.
The complaint is regarding the fact that *all* non-profit votes in Denmark asked for a NO. Only commercial pro-Microsoft participants voted YES.
The original article is in Danish, but it will probably reach the English-speaking press fairly soon.
This is why I think this Law suit, between EU and Microsoft (the one making it so Microsoft can’t ave contracts with the government) will succeed.
Things are much better today than few years back. Atleast we do have two real alternatives (mac. linux) now to desktop os other than windows. | 2019-04-22T08:43:33 | http://techrights.org/2008/05/16/denmark-ooxml-complaint/ |
Get ready for sets by Mimi Liu, Michael Quisao, Erica Vess, Qui Nguyen and more!
Long before setting foot on her first dance floor, Qui has always been in search of good music. From scouting out local shows, to digging through dusty record store crates, her motto was, if it moved her, it was good music. So, it was quite natural for her to fall in love with swing music and swing dancing. A lover of the music first, and the movement a close second, you can always catch her listening and dancing close to the bandstand at any number of swing, balboa or blues events. You might even find her behind the DJ booth, either in her hometown of Richmond, VA, or at dance events throughout the region. | 2019-04-18T12:17:13 | https://richmondlx.com/music/djs/ |
PASSENGERS on an aborted flight from Paris to Bilbao on Wednesday April 13 were left so scared that some phoned home to ‘say goodbye’.
The drama unfolded at Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris, just before the flight was about to leave for Spain, when a man ‘of Arabic origin’ failed to board the plane despite having checked in.
He was seen to be travelling alongside a woman who did board alongside 100 or so other passengers, but panic broke out when crew members were unable to locate him and announced a ‘security breach’.
There was also concern regarding an unidentified item of baggage on the plane, operated by Air France subsidiary Hop!, which no passenger claimed ownership of.
The woman, who did not speak French or Spanish, was interviewed and was able to confirm that she was not travelling with the man, and that the unidentified bag did not belong to her.
The flight was due to take off at 9pm but was cancelled, with shaken passengers transferred to a local hotel for the night before being flown out the next morning.

Over the past several years, Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) have become a transformational force multiplier for the Department of Defense (DoD). When UAS were introduced into the front-line DoD aircraft force structure over a decade ago, small numbers of aircraft were fulfilling niche capabilities. This is no longer the case. The numbers and roles of UAS have expanded dramatically to meet overseas demands, and in some categories, more unmanned aircraft (UA) are budgeted than manned. Operational commanders have come to rely upon robust and persistent support based on unmanned platforms to execute their core missions against hostile forces.
While reliance on UAS continues to grow, the ability to integrate UAS into the National Airspace System (NAS) to support operations, training, and testing has not kept pace. Routine access to exercise and execute Combatant Command (COCOM)-tasked missions, and to support broader military and civil missions such as Homeland Security (HLS), Homeland Defense (HD), and Defense Support of Civil Authorities (DSCA) is necessary. Current NAS access for UAS is greatly limited under interim FAA policies that govern UAS operations in the NAS. Currently, DoD UAS operations conducted outside of Restricted, Warning and Prohibited areas are authorized under a temporary Certificate of Waiver or Authorization (COA) from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) or under limited conditions outlined in the 2007 DoD-FAA Memorandum of Agreement (MoA). Although DoD has been able to facilitate a small number of flights through the COA process, DoD has not been able to obtain the level of airspace access necessary to accomplish the wide range of DoD UAS missions at current and projected operational tempos.
An emphasis on expanding unmanned payloads and military functions is critical for a nation at war during economically-challenging times while taking into account the interests of other airspace users. The DoD employs unmanned aircraft safely and will continue to do so. The DoD is working to incrementally eliminate restrictions and limitations associated with UAS by developing and implementing policies, standards, and technologies that will further justify and enable routine NAS access for all required DoD UAS missions.
In addition to airworthiness certification and pilot/operator qualification, there are procedural, equipment, and technical regulatory compliance issues which impact access to the NAS. To address these issues, a range of capability validation and implementation activities are required.
COA Refinement. Refining the COA approval process is an important near-term activity for improving NAS access for UAS. DoD is examining whether COAs can be extended in duration, and allow for the operation of multiple UAS. The Department is also working to establish conditions for streamlined approval with the FAA and developing/validating standard mitigation strategies for COA challenges. Other items include developing procedures for lost link, divert, recovery, and terminal operations, and agreed-upon communications and terminology standards.
Small UAS Rules. The small UAS Aviation Rulemaking Committee (ARC) recently reviewed current policy and recommended the FAA develop a Special Federal Aviation Regulation (SFAR) for sUAS. The FAA accepted the recommendation and is developing the SFAR. One example of a specific recommendation by the ARC is expanding notification procedures for sUAS under 20 lbs outside of military controlled lands up to 700 feet AGL, with various restrictions.22 The DoD will leverage this work by seeking to incorporate many of the ARC’s recommendations into an updated DoD-FAA UAS MoA.
Standardized Lost Link Procedures. The JCOE, in collaboration with the military departments and selected COCOMs, is establishing a standard suite of lost-link procedures for DoD UAS in all phases of flight. Once adopted, these procedures will provide defined methods for lost-link recognition, notification, and the appropriate actions to either regain link or recover/divert. The DoD will coordinate with the FAA, as appropriate, on this “rules of the road” issue.
Frequency Allocation. The FAA and OSD UAS Task Force Frequency and Bandwidth (F&B) IPT are cooperatively evaluating spectrum regulatory and aviation requirements to traverse the NAS. Domestically, aviation and spectrum regulatory groups are conducting evaluations and making recommendations to appropriate federal flight safety and spectrum authorization authorities. Internationally, the FAA and F&B IPT are supporting technical and regulatory analysis for potential UAS C&C, ATC voice communications, and SAA global operations frequency bands for future non-segregated airspace. Flexibility to use current and/or preferred equipment for C2 and SAA functions is part of the overall spectrum access strategy.
Equipment Compliance. To comply with FAA operating rules and regulations, UAS must have certain equipment to fly within the NAS. DoD subject matter experts will modify existing or develop new DoD equipment standards for technology development, as well as a means for compliance. OSD will evaluate and prioritize standards gaps, and refer them to standards organizations for creation/revision and publication. DoD stakeholders will work closely with the standards organizations, as needed, and adhere to critical standards and regulatory guidance from the FAA.
GBSAA Technology. DoD GBSAA efforts seek to develop methods to satisfy aircraft separation requirements using a ground-based system that includes sensors, displays, communications and software. GBSAA solutions will incrementally relieve restrictions on existing COAs and facilitate UAS training and operations in the NAS. This effort is establishing requirements, gathering data, performing modeling & simulation, testing and verifying collected data, and obtaining airworthiness approvals, as appropriate. The end result will be a defined set of system performance criteria and associated operating procedures that will provide the basis for military department certification of GBSAA capability as compliant with appropriate regulations.
ABSAA Technology. ABSAA efforts are focused on developing onboard capability to perform both self separation and collision avoidance (CA) that ensure an appropriate level of safety. Current programs have phased validation schedules for Due Regard, En Route/Class A, and Divert/Class E/G operations. The Navy and Air Force are leveraging a common functional baseline for their RQ-4B Global Hawk and RQ-4N Broad Area Maritime Surveillance (BAMS) aircraft. In addition, a Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) and/or Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) may be incorporated into UAS in coordination with FAA guidance to provide additional safe separation and collision assurance precautions.
With the execution of the outlined validation steps and implementation strategies, DoD UAS can incrementally achieve the necessary increased access to the NAS as time proceeds. Ultimately, UAS will achieve routine dynamic flight operations through continuing to diligently observe and constantly improve on high military standards for flight operations, which have been a hallmark of military aviation. | 2019-04-24T16:15:18 | https://publicintelligence.net/dod-uas-airspace-integration-plan/ |

Jeff Rigsby, president and CEO of CB Resource, looks back on the time when multiple software programs were required for basic operational functions and how these applications eventually became the industry standard. “Almost 20-30 years ago, we had WordPerfect for word processing, Lotus for spreadsheet functions, and Harvard Graphics for presentations,” recalls Rigsby. “They were the norm for their respective functions until Microsoft launched Office in the 90s, a fully integrated solution stack that become the new standard.” With this anecdote in mind, Rigsby steers CB Resource, an enterprise risk management (ERM) and planning firm, toward becoming the one-stop shop that provides a single, centralized solution with varying capabilities to aid modern day financial institutions and banking executives.
“For most banks, their top two priorities are managing business performance and controlling risk,” says Rigsby. “It is not uncommon to have two separate groups focusing on these priorities.” Such siloed operations can lead to elevated exposure to adverse impact to earning, capital and regulatory compliance risks. CB Resource’s mission is to synchronize their clients’ business and risk management priorities and deliver a fully integrated ERM solution. “Every bank has a unique business model. We analyze how they work and then customize their ERM system accordingly,” explains Rigsby. Community banks set a threshold for the risk they are willing to take to achieve their organizational goals. CB Resource offers an ERM solution that evaluates a bank’s risk appetite and ensures that the solution identifies, measures, monitors, and controls the level of risk affecting the bank’s business model.
The ERM solution includes a comprehensive risk assessment system that pinpoints top risks and threats, and then facilitates a process to develop and implement a target risk mitigation plan.
CB Resource complements their ERM solution with a Strategic Plan and Capital Plan solution. The Strategic Plan solution effectively evaluates meaningful alternatives to produce an executable solution, while the Capital Plan solution includes the necessary components for a bank’s executives to assess strategies, risk profiles, and capital contingencies. These services are designed to integrate with each other and work in tandem to produce effective and befitting risk management solutions that optimize a client’s overall performance. “Because we integrate our services, most of which are automated, we are efficient and eliminate certain redundancies within an organization,” expresses Rigsby.
In addition to their standard risk assessment applications, CB Resource offers clients an automated online portal, CB BankAnalytics. Along with a database of over 20 million bank records collected and stored in the “cloud,” CB Analytics dives deep into the analysis of key risk categories (i.e. credit, interest rate, liquidity, strategic, trust, insurance, etc.) providing ideal strategic or capital planning, independent risk management, M&A, and regulatory compliance perspectives. CB Resource is set to launch the second generation of CB BankAnalytics this year, which is upgraded with a CBR performance index. This feature provides community banks with an interactive dashboard that ranks them nationally, regionally, and locally in eight key performance areas. “We have expanded the platform to also include bank stock performance, market analysis, and local-state-national economic analysis,” adds Rigsby.
CB Resource, since 2006, has been empowering community banks with an extensive suite of risk assessment services that cover financial performance, operations, trust, wealth management, insurance, and payment systems risks. For enterprises undergoing digital transformation and partnering with FinTech companies, CB Resource dynamically aggregates data for C-suite level analysis, which positions executives to make risk-based decisions and drive optimal performance. Experiencing rapid growth, CB Resource serves community banks across 40 states in the U.S. and expects 2019 to be a year of safe and compliant banking. | 2019-04-23T01:13:26 | https://financial-risk-and-compliance.cfotechoutlook.com/vendor/cb-resource-adaptive-risk-management-solutions-cid-290-mid-37.html |
On Saturday, December 1, and Sunday, December 2, Caltrain and Silicon Valley Community Foundation will hold the annual Holiday Train toy drive event for Bay Area residents from San Francisco to the South Bay.
Decorated with more than 75,000 lights, the Holiday Train will visit nine Caltrain stations over the weekend. At each of the train’s 20-minute station stops, people can join in singing with onboard carolers and the Salvation Army Christmas Brass Ensemble. Santa, Mrs. Claus and their extended family –including Frosty the Snowman and Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer –will get off the train to greet kids and pose for pictures. Prior to the arrival of the train, families can enjoy free entertainment at each of the Holiday Train station stops.
In addition to offering families free holiday fun, the Holiday Train offers an opportunity to donate new toys or books to local children whose families are struggling to make ends meet. Caltrain is proud to partner with the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots program and the Salvation Army’s Season of Giving program to help make the season brighter for everyone. We are grateful to generous Bay Area residents who have donated more than 50,000 toys since the start of this festive tradition. The glittering show train has been a favorite family holiday tradition for communities all along the Caltrain rail corridor since 2001.
To spread the word about the event, one Caltrain passenger car “wrapped” in the Holiday Train artwork will be in service until the end of December. During this time, Caltrain is also holding a Holiday Train photo contest. Individuals can enter submissions by sending a photo or video of themselves with the Holiday Train wrap in service either by posting to social media with the hashtag #HolidayTrain2018 and tagging Caltrain, or by emailing the submission to SocialMedia@Caltrain.com. Deadline for submissions is November 30. Three winners will be selected to receive a Holiday Train swag bag of prizes.
San Francisco 4:00 p.m. San Francisco 4:00 p.m.
Burlingame 5:25 p.m. Millbrae 5:20 p.m.
Redwood City 6:10 p.m. San Mateo 6:00 p.m.
Mountain View 7:25 p.m. Menlo Park 7:05 p.m.
Santa Clara 8:00 p.m. Sunnyvale 7:50 p.m.
Santa’s helpers can get into the holiday spirit by donating or becoming a sponsor on the Holiday Train website, holiday-train.org, and by following Caltrain and Silicon Valley Community Foundation on Twitter using the hashtag #HolidayTrain2018 to help spread the word. All Holiday Train donations are collected by and distributed through Silicon Valley Community Foundation.
The Holiday Train would not be possible without the generous support of our sponsors for everything from decorations and wiring to costumes.
Stanford Children’s Health is our lead sponsor. Speck and the Handel Sunrise Foundation are our station and freight sponsors. Locomotive sponsors are Analog Devices, The Dirk and Charlene Kabcenell Foundation and Intero Real Estate Services. Our railway sponsor is Robert Half.
Media sponsors include The Daily Journal,The San Francisco Examiner, 96.5 KOIT, 98.5 KFOX and 102.9 KBLX.
Bayside Equipment Company of Redwood City donated the use of a generator to light up the decorations. Other in-kind sponsors include Jim’s Handyman Services, Classic Graphics, Peterson Technical Services and the Subway store located in the San Francisco Caltrain Station.
Owned and operated by the Peninsula Corridor Joint Powers Board, Caltrain provides commuter rail service from San Francisco to San José, with limited commute service to Gilroy. Caltrain has enjoyed five years of consecutive monthly ridership increases, surpassing more than 65,000 average weekday riders earlier this year. While the Joint Powers Board assumed operating responsibilities for the service in 1992, the railroad celebrated 150 years of continuous passenger service in 2014. Planning for the next 150 years of Peninsula rail service, Caltrain is on pace to electrify the corridor, reduce diesel emissions by 97 percent by 2040 and add more service to more stations. | 2019-04-21T10:53:53 | https://www.siliconvalleycf.org/press-release-november-26-2018 |
While facial recognition will be very handy once all of the bugs are worked out, a much simpler feature would be incredibly handy: Optical Character Recognition, particularly that of numbers on racecars, runners etc.
I have been photographing a few races and it would be extremely handy to have something like facial recognition that would work for car numbers, and possibly car class as well.
When photographing a foot race, where all of the number signs are of the same format, this would be very helpful for photographers looking for photos of a particular person on request.
Likewise when photographing an auto race, it would make it much easier to find all of the photos of a particular driver.
This would be SO helpful! Especially for "bibbing" runners at big races! | 2019-04-26T08:22:30 | https://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/automatically-find-entrant-numbers-and-other-ocr-applications |
A housing interest may be alienated on a sectional title, share block or life rights basis. Life rights is the right to occupy a unit for one’s lifetime (or spouse’s life time where applicable). The benefit of a life right in a PADCA owned property is the peace of mind of a professionally administered complex with preferential access to the range of PADCA services.
Padca offers two complexes on life rights basis, Clivia Place and Woodgrove Retirement Village.
The Clivia Place life right is based on a descending refund over 12 years. The cost of the units is in line with this original type life right.
The Woodgrove life right is one of the best in the country offering 70% of the resale (minus a 6% + VAT administration fee) to the outgoing Life Right Holder. | 2019-04-22T15:56:40 | http://padca.co.za/life.php |
The opportunity for troubled teens to reinvent themselves in an environment that is unique and challenging. Each boy is able to begin the process of positive change in surroundings that hold no previous associations or triggers. .
Utah is the most popular state for teen help programs because its laws and regulations are so strict. Parents throughout the country rely on Utah facilities to offer quality help for their teens and peace of mind for themselves.
Parents and teens are able to take a supervised break from the power struggles and disciplinary cycle. The distance allows each party to focus on their own issues, while laying the base for an improved relationship with the help of experienced counselors and therapists.
Full time therapy options allow parents some much needed respite. Dealing with a severely troubled teen can be exhausting and isolating and many parents need a chance to regroup while their son is in a secure and supportive location.
Sundance Canyon Academy is located in Utah and is an ideal destination for boys struggling with behavioral issues such as anger, defiance, depression, substance abuse and mental disorders. We implement a relationship based therapy model rather than traditional behavior modification techniques in order to allow students to identify and work on their core issues instead of simply treating the symptoms. This therapeutic approach, along with our aftercare program to help families with the transition home, has consistently produced healthier relationships and longer lasting results.
We understand that the process of selecting the right facility can be intimidating and emotional and we want to assure you that you do not have to navigate the process alone. Although you may prefer to select an option close to home, we encourage you to also consider the many benefits of therapeutic boarding schools in Utah. Location is not as important as making sure that your son is matched with the program that is most likely to help him succeed.
We have the same goal you do; we want your son to become the confident and caring young man you know he is. For questions about enrollment, or further information about our program, please contact us at 866-678-2425 for a consultation. We have helped thousands of families find the best solution for their troubled teens and we are sure that we can help you too. | 2019-04-18T14:44:07 | https://www.sundancecanyonacademy.com/residential-treatment-centers-in-utah-for-troubled-teenage-boys-2/ |
Performance will certainly be more sluggish with the all-wheel-drive system, but for resale value, it's a smart bet in the Encore.
The 2016 Buick Encore masks its economy-car roots well, but tepid performance keeps its from earning a premium label.
As a whole, the shape of the 2016 Buick Encore tries to convey a tougher look that disguises its tall, boxy shape. The front fascia is steeply raked, it rides on huge 18-inch wheels, and some of the body sculpting can appear as if the designers were simply trying too hard. From other angles, the Encore has enough presence to justify its price tag.
The Encore has a battle on its hands. When it was first introduced all the way back in 2013, it stood essentially alone in the market as one of few small crossovers SUVs. Today, it is a far more crowded niche, packed with pricey, prestigious rivals along the lines of the the Audi Q3, BMW X1, and Mercedes-Benz GLA, not to mention affordable models like the Chevrolet Trax, Fiat 500X, and Honda HR-V.
It has been something of a trailblazer, yet the Encore remains a crossover that is at odds with its Buick stablemates in some ways. Priced on the high side, with luxo-grade features, it remains fitted around a tidy hatchback shape, and saddled with tepid performance (though Buick promises more power on tap for a new Encore Sport Touring model coming soon).
Inside, the cockpits of our test cars have been trimmed either in all-black materials or a multi-tone palette of cocoa-colored leather and two-tone brown trim that lend a jazzy buzz. There are other color combos too. Befitting the almost luxury Buick label, the interior is fairly quiet, if not totally hushed, since a modicum of wind and road noise nonetheless penetrates the cabin. Active noise canceling does keep engine rumble mostly silenced, however.
Although you'd probably never guess it, underneath the Encore sits some underpinnings shared with the humble Chevy Sonic hatchback. But the Chevy can't be ordered with all-wheel drive like the Buick can. There's a single engine/transmission combination on offer, the turbocharged 1.4-liter 4 engine from the Sonic teamed with a 6-speed automatic.
The Encore tips the scales at around 3,200 pounds, which is a lot of metal to motivate with a mere 138 horsepower and 148 pound-feet of torque. Even minus the added weight of its optional all-wheel drive system, the 0-to-60-mph run is a leisurely 9 seconds. All-wheel drive models push that to more like 10 seconds, meaning some planning is necessary for two-lane road passing.
But there's something of a fix this year: A direct-injected version of the 4-cylinder with 153 horsepower and 177 lb-ft of torque that offers more getup and go in any situation. It doesn't transform the Encore into a sports car, but all models handle fairly well for a tall, heavy wagon-like vehicle with a short wheelbase. We think that the all-wheel drive versions ride a little better perhaps because of their added weight.
Accommodations are excellent in certain aspects but rather more confining in others. The Encore's tall roofline gives it good headroom, but it's narrow. Three abreast in the rear seat isn't feasible and even front seat passengers may bump elbows. But its interior remains hugely flexible with a high degree of versatility thanks to the folding second row and even a passenger seat that flops down to accommodate longer objects like ladders.
Where the Encore's price point begins to make more sense is its safety and equipment specifications. The base model stickers for about $25,000 and includes 10 airbags, a backup camera, and even a WiFi hotspot with a 4G LTE antenna. From there, it's possible to add leather trim, Bose audio, and forward collision alerts. Tick every box and the Encore comes in at about $33,000, which still comes under some rivals but is a lot of coin for not a lot of metal.
The Encore has too much design on its petite body; the interior's a little calmer.
The Encore features Buick's portholes, but it doesn't quite pull off the bulbous corporate look to the same degree as some of the division's larger offerings like its LaCrosse four-door and the Enclave large crossover.
The front end of the Encore shows off Buick's toothy grille, a tough look standing on large 18-inch wheels. There's some bulldog in the nose, along with chrome-trimmed portholes laying inconspicuously on the flat top of the hood sides (a good thing).
But from the center of the crossover backwards, the rakish, broad-shouldered stance begins to morph into a simpler five-door compact hatchback. An S-curve runs through the door panels and up around the rear glass. The rear-quarter view doesn't say “Buick” at all, but then the large, molded rear bumper shield ladles on more toughness again—and a spoiler mounted to the top of its tailgate stretches its roofline to help make this short crossover look a hair longer.
The Encore's small size means there isn't much sheet metal for designers to worth with if they're going to stretch Buick's look onto a diminutive canvas. But its interior more succesfully delivers an upmarket feel hidden in a compact package.
The instrument panel is plastered with myriad switches, knobs, and buttons—we counted 33 of them—a bit of fake “wood” trim with some metallic accents to brighten things up. At least Buick installed conventional rotary knobs to control the audio system. Calming ambient interior lighting is courtesy of blue LEDs, but Buick does not offer Ford's trick of changing interior hues. You'll get blue and you'll like it.
If you dig the monochrome style, you can order an Encore with an interior covered in black leather. At the other end of the scale sits a two-tone brown treatment with cocoa-dyed hides that will have you making a bee-line for your local coffee shop for a cup of joe. Its understated elegance fits the Encore's nearly calming interior better than the rather austere black.
The struggle is real: the Encore's 138-hp four isn't enough, but the new Sport Touring model's higher output engine solves that problem.
The Encore's size pays off in a few performance dimensions, but in general it's up against a weighty challenge: its weight.
Power comes from a turbocharged 1.4-liter four, the same unit that's an option on the Chevy Sonic. It's teamed only with a six-speed automatic gearbox. Until this year, it's only been offered in one version, with output of 138 horsepower plus 148 pound-feet of torque.
This year, Buick has added an uprated version to the Sport Touring model. It adds direct injection to the 1.4 and the result is 153 horsepower and 177 lb-ft of torque.
While the Encore is a pleasant vehicle to drive, the base engine sorely needs more power. It's capable of accelerating to 60 mph from a standstill in about nine seconds, but that's a best-case scenario: no options, no all-wheel drive, one passenger aboard. Add in more passengers and all-wheel drive and the base Encore starts to feel slow.
The problem here is that even the daintiest Encore comes in at almost 3,200 pounds. The pint-sized turbo 4-cylinder has a tremendous amount on its plate. Its struggle is real, and is made more pronounced by an automatic that's tuned to upshift quickly. To get even moderate movement, it has to shift down not once, but twice. Adding the available all-wheel drive, and its commensurate 150 pounds, only makes the problem worse.
The new direct-injected engine on the Encore Sport Touring makes merging and passing easier and offers more pickup from a stop as well. It also comes with an automatic stop/start feature that cuts out the engine at stop lights to reduce fuel consumpetion and is largely transparent. This engine is the clear choice for everyday drivability, but the pricing for Sport Touring may tempt buyers to move up a class.
Opting for all-wheel drive actually improves the Encore's ride quality in addition to improving inclement weather traction. That system is programmed to deliver power to the rear immediately before shifting power increasingly forward (if there is traction) up to 37 mph. At higher speeds, the Encore is effectively front-wheel drive to save fuel.
Underneath the Encore sits a suspension (struts up front and a torsion beam out back) shared with the economy grade Sonic, but it mostly feels like a properly upmarket little crossover. Overall, the Encore absorbs bumps with aplomb and is only unsettled by the worst urban hazards like deep potholes. Its electric power steering balances highway speed centering and some degree of feedback, but it's definitely not a sports car with a tall body.
Conclusion The struggle is real: the Encore's 138-hp four isn't enough, but the new Sport Touring model's higher output engine solves that problem.
The Buick Encore may be small—it's somewhat related to the Chevrolet Sonic subcompact—but in terms of interior space, it'll easily carry four adults, with just a little give and take required between front- and back-seat passengers.
By the numbers, the Encore rides on a 100.6-inch wheelbase, and checks in at a total length of 168.4 inches. The tape measure and spec sheet put that about a half-foot longer than a MINI Countryman, but nearly a foot shorter than a Ford Escape.
Front passengers won't notice the shrunken length so much as they will miss the extra width of the next-class-bigger SUVs. The Encore provides an upright driving position, with a terrific view over the admittedly short hood. The feeling of available space inside the cockpit is good too, thanks to the high roof and low dash. Where the Encore skimps is in shoulder room: it's a narrow vehicle, and the center console seems too wide for the size. Front passengers will touch elbows (whether they want to or not) and the console will be in constant contact with front-seat knees.
The front seats themselves are comfortable, with well-shaped seatbacks and bottom cushions that could use just a bit more support; they're pretty flat.
The second row is more spacious than it looks, with enough room for a pair of adults. A third isn't a great idea, so instead you'll be happy to know that there's a flop-down armrest that contains a pair of cupholders.
As a two-person (and their stuff) hauler, the Encore excels. Fold the back seat down and you'll find up to 50 cubic feet of cargo space. With the second row upright, that shrinks to a tight 18.8 cubes. Even the passenger's seat can fold up front to allow for loading long objects like fly fishing gear or a ladder.
No matter how many people or fishing rods are on board, the Encore is pretty quiet. Its active noise cancelling tech blocks out engine noise, but there is a little road rumble and wind comes in around the side mirrors at higher speeds.
One demerit is that the Encore's dashboard mixes a welter of colors, materials, and shapes. Its materials aren't exactly luxury grade, but our biggest complaint is the 33 different controls, many of which appear identical at first glance. They're distracting and, frankly, some drivers may nto even seek out some of the Encore's more advanced functions because they get lost in the sea of buttons. But, hey, at least Buick included a rotary knob for volume. That's something some rivals have forgotten about.
There's more passenger space in the Encore than seems possible; some decluttering should be on the future product agenda.

But, hey, at least Buick included a rotary knob for volume. That's something some rivals have forgotten about.
The Encore performs well in crash tests, and a rearview camera and Bluetooth are standard.
The Encore's crash-test results have improved over time; it's one of the safer small crossover SUVs to be tested by both major agencies.
The NHTSA gives the Encore five stars out of five overall.
All versions of the Encore thankfully include a rearview camera, a necessity given its less-than-stellar visibility. Big roof pillars and a tall belt line look good outside but make over-the-shoulder visibility challenging inside.
We applaud Buick for fitting the Encore with Bluetooth connectivity, but the brand really surpasses competitors thanks to its OnStar telematics. Six months of free Directions and Connections service is included and there is a smartphone app that allows drivers to pre-program a destination or even unlock their car from miles away. On an opt-in basis, the Encore includes vehicle tracking that may be helpful for families with young drivers.
Optional equipment includes all-wheel drive—about $1,500—blind-spot monitors, and a slew of safety tech that watch the lane markings to alert the driver when they begin to drift out of a lane or close too quickly. We found the systems to be effective if a little overly cautious. Those systems are bundled with Bose speakers and parking sensors that supplement the backup camera.
From the IntelliLink interface to Bose noise cancellation, the Encore adds a tasteful luxury layer to its tidy hatchback body.
Buick's added a new model to the Encore lineup, but it hasn't substantially changed the standard or optional features it offers on the crossover SUV.
Every Encore comes with power windows, door locks, and heated outside mirrors; 18-inch alloy wheels; cruise control; a power driver's seat; ambient interior lighting; a rearview camera; cloth seating surfaces with mock-leather trim; the OnStar telematics system; active noise cancellation; and a cargo cover.
OnStar now bundles 4G LTE connectivity, free for a short period and available for a subscription following that. It allows the vehicle to create a wi-fi network, too.
Buick's IntelliLink infotainment system is also standard. It uses voice commands or a controller knob and a seven-inch dash screen to manage audio from multiple sources—Bluetooth streaming, mobile apps, satellite radio, or USB-connected devices. It also operates mobile-phone functions and the optional navigation system.
On the optional features list, a Convenience Group adds remote start, automatic climate control, as well as fog lamps. The Premium group offers a Bose sound system, parking sensors, and a pair of camera-based safety features: lane-departure warnings and forward-collision warning. Finally, a Leather package includes a heated steering wheel, heated seats up front, and the rear flip-fold bench seat in animal hides.
Standalone options include navigation and a sunroof, neither of which can be had on a base Encore. There's also a Bose sound system, which can be had in a few of the available packages, too.
The new 2016 Encore Sport Touring gets an uprated engine with 153 horsepower, and also adds a rear spoiler, its own 18-inch wheels, and stop/start.
It's small, and fuel economy is good in the Buick Encore--it's just not as good as some mid-size sedans.
The Buick Encore may be small, but it's chunky and depends on a hard-working turbocharged four-cylinder engine for its propulsion. The combination pushes its fuel economy into a middling territory, where it's easily bested by most mid-size family sedans.
Buick claims some of the best fuel-economy numbers for the growing class of small crossover SUVs, at least compared with the rivals it chooses.
The Encore is rated at 25 mpg city, 33 highway, 28 combined in its standard front-wheel-drive configuration. Add all-wheel drive, however, and that falls to 23/30/26 mpg.
The competition that doesn't quite match up? The Volkswagen Tiguan at 23 mpg combined, or the MINI Countryman, at 27 mpg combined.
Those figures leave out the Subaru XV Crosstrek, which ties the Buick with its combined rating of 28 mpg. We'd also check out the Nissan Juke, rated at 29 mpg combined, or 27 mpg with all-wheel drive—even though our real-world drives have turned in mileage a lot lower than official estimates. In real-world Encore drives, we've hit the EPA combined number of 28 mpg.
I have 2014 it has class, and rides so nice I get a lot of compliments the chrome wheels, this is my 4th Buick I have owned and looking forward to the others to come.

Richard Price ROI - It is with deep sadness that I have to announce that Richard passed away on the 15th October. He will be sadly missed by all that knew him.
At 11 years of age Richard started painting and drawing from observation the fishing fleet at Leigh-on-Sea, Essex. Encouraged to simply paint ‘anything’ he quickly was drawn to paint atmospheric conditions and light effects.
His childhood heroes were Vic Ellis and Sheila Fairman. Later he studied at Portsmouth – where he developed an interest in figure painting, interiors and portraiture. In fact his degree show was a show of portraits and figure paintings. The everyday people, situations and places were his subjects.
In 2001 he started to make his own images again. Back in the life room and very much motivated and encouraged by his new mentor John Bowen he soon resumed his painting.
Richard has shown work at the NEAC, R.O.I., R.S.M.A, R.W.A. annual opens and the “Not the RA Summer Show”. He had work with Manya Igel Fine Arts and various other galleries. In 2005 he won the Charles Pears memorial award for best painting by a non member at the R.S.M.A.
In 2012 Richard was appointed to The Royal Institute of Oil Painters (The ROI). Richard also taught part-time and valued highly the stimulus of his students.

Details, details. They really can make or break a piece of writing. Too many and the passage is bogged down, too few and the reader will visualize what they choose, too gaudy and you’ll be accused of purple prose. But if you can capture a scene with the right amount of description formed by carefully chosen words, you will achieve Olympic writing gold. We’ve all experienced that moment when we sit back in open-mouthed awe of a perfectly crafted sentence that conveys exactly what we meant to say.
I recently experienced this during my fifth round of editing on my novel, The Secrets of Dr. John Welles. I needed to show the quaint but tidy lifestyle Lyla Welles maintained in her home. Her husband, John, is a farmer, and while the family does well enough, there isn’t money for frivolous luxuries such as lace curtains.
When I described what I wanted for the scene, my mother suggested feed sack curtains. Images of stained, coarse fabric crudely stitched together came to mind. Mother informed me that they were quite pretty and, in fact, feed sack was used to make dresses for little girls, tea towels, and aprons. I had to go in search of the fabric that could be used for such items while baring a name more plain than homespun. What I found prompted this post.
Ingenious women of low income reused the fabric from feed sacks for undergarments, curtains, pillowcases, etc. Initially, the fabric was white and without pattern. A company logo, which had to be scrubbed out or strategically placed on the homemade item, was the only ornamentation. These plain white feed sacks were probably what Lyla Welles would have used during the time period for the above-mentioned scene. I imagine her hand lovingly embroidering a simple pattern or trimming the edges.
It wasn’t until the 1920s that patterned feed sack became popular as a marketing tool. Women chose the products they purchased depending on the pattern on the feed sack fabric. Contests were held to design prints and artists were consulted to make them more appealing.
The following link from the Buchanan County, Iowa Historical Society provides a complete history on the evolution, popularity, and history of feed sack fabric. I recommend utilizing Google to see a myriad of garments and household items made from the repurposed fabric. There are even Pinterest boards and quilting forums dedicated to the humble feed sack. | 2019-04-21T02:38:38 | https://hlgibsonauthor.com/2015/05/ |

The Mercedes E-Class Estate has always been a very classy way to carry rather a lot. These days though, it's cleverer and more efficient than ever. A focus on downsized engines will be a big draw, there's a frugal base diesel, a plug-in hybrid and fire-breathing Mercedes-AMG models add some excitement. Overall, the whole range just feels slicker and more desirable than ever. It's all very impressive, particularly as you can carry up to 1,820-litres.
It used to be that if you wanted a large, plush practical estate, you bought a big Volvo. For some years now though, that role has been only fully filled by the Mercedes E-Class Estate. Rivals trade space for a bit of style but this car continues to prioritise practicality, with 670-litres of room on offer even before you start folding seats. This tenth generation E-Class Estate of course enjoys all the advantages developed for its saloon counterpart, a car offering efficient engines, astonishing technology and luxurious comfort. There are also cutting-edge driver assistance features even allow owners to take a step closer to fully autonomous driving.
On the move, you quickly find that Mercedes has achieved an excellent balance between comfort, refinement and agility with this E-Class Estate. It's as happy easing through town as it is covering great highway distances - but then you'd expect that. More surprising is how at home it feels on twistier roads, particularly if you've got a model fitted with the impressive 'AIR BODY CONTROL' pneumatic suspension that can be fine-tuned with the 'DYNAMIC SELECT' driving modes controller. More technology is provided by the optional 'DRIVE PILOT' system that when activated, allows the car to pretty much drive itself, working with the adaptive cruise control and active steering systems to keep the E-Class rolling in its chosen lane at any chosen speed up to 130mph. Engine-wise, there's a base 184hp E200 petrol variant if you want it but almost all E-Class buyers select a diesel, probably the four cylinder 2.0-litre 194hp biturbo unit you'll find in the E220d most customers are going to choose. The gearbox it comes mated to is a nine-speed 9G-Tronic auto. Rest to 62mph here occupies 7.3s and there's the option of 4MATIC 4WD if you want it. Those in search of more diesel performance are offered a 3.0-litre six cylinder unit in the E400d putting out 340hp and capable of rest to 62mph in 4.9s. E400d variants come only with 4MATIC 4WD. There's also an 'EQ Power' Plug-in hybrid E300 de diesel derivative, which mates a 2.0-litre combustion engine with a 122hp electric motor. Further up the range, there are various Mercedes-AMG petrol performance variants. The E 53 4MATIC+ derivative uises a 3.0-litre biturbo inline six cylinder engine using the brand's latest EQ boost technology and putting out 435hp. Beyond that, there's the 4.0-litre V8 E 63 4MATIC+ models.
Despite this model's sleek looks, with a capacity of 670 to 1820-litres, the E-Class Estate's load compartment is one of the biggest in the segment. As standard, the rear bench seat has new cargo-related functionality: it is possible to position the backrest at an approximately 10-degree steeper angle. This creates an additional 30 litres of cargo volume while continuing to enable full use to be made of five seats. In addition, the rear seat backrest folds down in a 40:20:40 split as standard, opening up plenty of potential configurations between transport capacity and seats. To release the backrests, there are electric switches located in the load compartment and to the right and left next to the backrests. The developers paid particular attention to practical dimensions and innovative management of the load space: for instance, the new E-Class Estate is one of the few car models that can accommodate a Europallet. With a minimum load compartment width between the wheel arches of 1100 millimetres, it was possible to retain the preceding model's very good measurement. If you want to carry extra people, there's the option of a rear-facing folding bench seat for children that makes this car into a full seven-seater. The proven combined cargo cover and net is back, offering both security from prying eyes and safety. The EASY-PACK tailgate provided as part of the standard equipment can be opened and closed very easily at the touch of a button for comfortable loading and unloading. Operation is electromechanical. We'd also want the optional EASY-PACK load-securing kit which allows the load compartment to be used in a versatile and safe manner.
Expect to allow a premium of £2,000 over the saloon model, which means pricing starting from around £38,000 for E-Class Estate ownership. Overall, that's pretty competitive against rivals like the Audi A6 Avant and the BMW 5 Series Touring. There's a choice of either standard 'SE' trim or, for around £2,800 more, a sportier 'AMG Line' package. Even in 'SE' guise, the standard specification is as complete as you'd have a right to expect for the prices being asked. All models feature a Garmin Map Pilot navigation system with a 8.4-inch display, Parktronic parking sensors with a reversing camera and a Park Pilot self-parking system. There's also leather upholstery with heated front seats, LED headlights and taillights, 64-colour selectable LED interior lighting, two-zone automatic climate control, a three-spoke multifunction steering wheel with dual touchpads, electrically folding mirrors and 17-inch wheels (or 18-inchers on the E400d). The 'AMG Line' models come with AMG exterior styling including unique bumpers and side skirts, larger 19-inch alloy wheels, perforated front brake discs, a three-spoke AMG steering wheel and Artico leather and Dynamica microfiber upholstery with a seat comfort package. All E400d models come with Air Body Control multi-chamber air suspension as standard, as well as COMAND satellite navigation with 12.3-inch display and remote online services. Safety-wise, there's a 'Collision Prevention Assist Plus' autonomous emergency braking system, plus a 'Pre-Safe' anticipatory safety system (including 'Pre-Safe Sound', which helps prevent damage to hearing).
There's not much of a running cost penalty for choosing an E-Class Estate over the saloon version. And it helps that the focus on economical four-cylinder models has meant that the average cost of running an E-Class has tumbled. Mercedes even trumpets the V6 E 53 AMG model as the most efficient powerplant of its type. Let's look at the WLTP-rated figures for engines across the range. That 2.0-litre biturbo diesel engine in the volume E220d model is surprisingly frugal. Expect 41.5-47.1mpg on the combined cycle and up to 129g/km. Not bad for such a large station wagon. If you go for the six cylinder E400d 4MATIC diesel, it's a similar story. This variant manages 37.2-40.9mpg and 162g/km. The Plug-in hybrid E300 de has an official CO2 rating of just 44g/km. For completion, we'll also give you the figures for the E 53 4MATIC AMG variant. Here, the combined fuel figure is 29.4-30.7mpg and the CO2 return is 203g/km. And otherwise? Well this model series is designed for the long haul. This car will easily out-last you, one reason why all-important residual values have traditionally been strong with diesel and lower-order petrol engines. Unless you do something silly like specify an overly bright colour scheme, you can expect to get over 60% of your initial purchase price back after three years.

Ousted Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich wants to take a trip to England.
Blagojevich's attorneys have asked a federal judge in Chicago to give the Democrat permission to leave the country so he can speak at the Oxford Union.
The motion filed with Judge James Zagel notes that the Oxford Union is a debating and speaking society in Oxford, England, that's been in existence since 1823. The motion says he'd make the trip this month, if he gets permission.
Zagel turned down a previous travel request when Blagojevich wanted to go to Costa Rica to appear on a reality TV show.
Blagojevich's retrial on federal corruption charges is scheduled to begin on April 20. He's denied any wrongdoing. | 2019-04-22T00:10:11 | https://www.myjournalcourier.com/news/article/Former-governor-Blagojevich-wants-to-travel-to-12659657.php |
Larry Fitzgerald knows empowerment and its perfect companion, personal responsibility. Not just because of the sport the future Hall of Famer plays, although that’s undeniable.
“To empower someone is to give them strength they didn’t realize they possess and the power to achieve beyond what they thought they could,” the Arizona Cardinals’ iconic receiver told a crowd of nearly 400 people at the Ability360 Breakfast on March 21.
He shared the message and the source of its heartfelt inspiration to an engaged and embracing crowd.
The annual fundraising breakfast event on the floor of the Ability360 Sports & Fitness Center raised more than $80,000 to support programs and services for men, women and children who “are changing the landscape of the Phoenix community and telling the story that needs to be told,” Fitzgerald said.
The event featured a video with interviews of Ability360 athletes underscoring the day’s theme, “Why Sports Matter.” Among them were Ryan Pinney (a veteran and Paralympic hand cyclist), Stephen Hernandez (varsity Wheelchair Suns and Stand-Up Amputee basketball player), Ernie Chun (Ability360 Phoenix Heat and Paralympic wheelchair rugby player), and Olympic gold medalist Amy Van Dyken.
The Ability360 Breakfast was presented by Valley Metro and sponsored by Nothing But NET, Position Sports Inc., Stacy and Witbeck Inc., and Waymo. Honorary co-chairs were Mike McQuaid Sr. and Jim Whitehead. Catering sponsors were Vincent on Camelback and Café Cultivate.
Ability360 is a 501(C)(3) organization. Through contributions to Qualifying Charitable Organizations (formerly known as the Working Poor Tax Credit), you can donate your Arizona Tax Credit to Ability360. If you would like to consider a planned estate gift to Ability360, such as a will or trust, life insurance policy or retirement account, please designate the gift to Ability360 in your estate/beneficiary documents and/or execute a gift agreement clearly indicating your legacy wishes.

Modern Classic - CX75 in the flesh!
MotorVerso were lucky enough to attend this years Classic Car Show at the Birmingham NEC this weekend. The show features a range of beautiful cars spanning decades of automotive excellence. However, there is always a nod to the future and one huge nod was the addition of the CX75 Concept on the Jaguar stand.
The CX75 has been doing the rounds since 2010 but with Jag’s ever growing popularity and the success of the recently launched F-Type, the CX75 has been brought to the forefront of what the company stands for and more importantly, what they can produce when they put their mind to it.
That said, at least we can look forward to seeing some of those design features, such as the rear light cluster, on future Jag’s such as the F-Type Coupe. It’s clear that Jaguar have a vision for the future and are going to go from strength-to-strength, but at least for now we can sit back and admire what Jaguar can do when they put their minds to it. Look out for more coverage from the show over the next few days. | 2019-04-20T20:38:14 | https://www.motorverso.com/modern-classic-cx75-flesh/ |

We are moving to Rochester in a few months and I think I am pretty well preped. But I had a little panic moment yesterday.
I live in a very white neighborhood in a very diverse city and yesterday and I saw a likley case of WWB (walking while black) on my way home yesterday. A nicely dressed young black man with a clip board was being harrassed by the cops. It happens a lot in my neighborhood. In defence of my neighbors calling the police on every minority that knocks on their door, there has been a rash of serious violent robberies, muggings, etc. It doesn't makeit right, people have gotten very paranoid.
So it got me thinking...my children are hispanic (hubby and I are white) and suddenly I got the visiual of my son walking through his friends neighborhood in 5 or 6 years and being cuffed and searched on the basis of his skin color.
I know hispanic people are about 5% there. What are the likelihood they will run into racism there? Trouble with cops (while doing nothing)?
Maybe I am looking for something else to be worried about.
Because he was black and being harassed it drew your attention? If anything after the recent ferguson events cops will be avoiding any sort of profiling. Cops are taught to enforce the law so it's likely the person was actually breaking the law.
Well I can't help but notice 95% of the people in my neighborhood who are being detained by cops are black...and you cant help but notice it at all when you see it. It is unlikely he was doing anything illegal. They almost always let them go. A scared old lady calls the cops, they come out and detain, ask them questions and let them go. Its the same old story.
How do you figure it was unlikely he was doing something illegal? They are not just going to arrest some passerby who so happens to be black. There are reasons to why they question who they question. | 2019-04-25T10:41:02 | http://www.city-data.com/forum/minnesota/2291071-rochester-racism-2.html |

Holidays are a time to gather with friends and family, so wouldn’t it be nice to sit down and enjoy your guests instead of cooking all day?
We’ve rounded up a list of places where you can get your entire dinner cooked for you — just reheat and serve! There is something for every palate: vegan cranberry hazelnut en croute from Metropolitan Market, local veggies and pastries from Home Remedy, organic turkey from PCC, gluten-free dinners from Marlene’s, a country feast from Williams Sonoma and many more.
Pick up a complete Thanksgiving dinner to-go at Home Remedy. Dinner includes a herb-brined, oven-roasted turkey breast, garlic mashed potatoes, Tom’s Northwest mushroom stuffing, spiced cranberry sauce with orange and thyme, local squash, Brussels sprouts roasted with garlic, sage and onions and Dahlia bakery rolls for only $45 per person.
Order your Dahlia pies (with options such as Kentucky bourbon pecan pie and triple coconut cream) and bread separately, and take advantage of special wine and beer pairings that are 10 percent off with every Thanksgiving order. Yum!
Everyone loves Marie Callendar’s for the pie, but they also sell pre-cooked holiday meals. Choose from five feasts: turkey breast feast, whole turkey feast, ham and turkey breast feast, ultimate whole turkey feast and ultimate whole turkey and ham feast.
These include the traditional trimmings: apple-sage stuffing, fire-roasted yams (with cranberry streusel topping), cranberry sauce, fresh mashed potatoes, turkey gravy, chef's vegetables, fresh-baked cornbread, whole pumpkin or apple pie and Marie's house blend coffee.
For a very PCC holiday, start by reserving your meat centerpiece. Choose from three precooked options: Mary’s roasted organic turkey ($7.99 per lb.), Mary’s organic smoked turkey ($7.99 per lb.) or Beeler’s non-GMO bone-in ham ($4.99 per lb.).
Then, cruise the deli for a variety of reheatable holiday sides. Choose from traditional fare or newer menu items such as chorizo apple cornbread dressing or wild mushroom and kale gratin, hazelnut gremolata green beans and others.
From the Classic Roast Turkey dinner for four ($79.99) to the Ultimate Feast for 12–14,($449.99) Whole Foods offers a wide range of delicious holiday meals. Keep it classic for a small table with a roasted turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes and gravy, green beans with parsley and garlic and cranberry orange sauce.
Or wow a crowd with the Ultimate Feast. The Ultimate includes shrimp cocktail, a cheese platter, prime rib, roasted turkey breast, spiral sliced ham, plus a variety of sides including mashed potatoes, stuffing and gravy, roasted butternut squash, maple roasted Brussels sprouts, cranberry orange sauce, dinner rolls, two pies and even a floral arrangement! Reheat set the table and you are done.
Don’t forget Whole Foods has vegan holiday offerings. Order the vegan meal for two ($39.99) right here, or check out the vegan a la carte menu.
If you have vegan guests at your table this holiday season, consider the vegan cranberry hazelnut en croute ($24.99) at Metropolitan Market. Filled with hazelnut-infused grain meat, field roast sausages, cranberries and apples — then wrapped in a pastry crust —this dish will satisfy any non-meat eater.
You can also order a complete pre-cooked Thanksgiving meal of turkey or turkey breast ($59.99–$179.99). If you are up for some cooking, Metropolitan Market also offers an array of cook at home meats featuring turkey (free range non-GMO, heritage or organic), beef rib roast, leg of lamb, rack of lamb, ham, crown roast of pork, Pekin duck and game hens.
Pair with fully prepared sides, such as rosemary roasted parsnips, creamed spinach and Waldorf salad and many more. Don’t forget the starters such as a celebration cheese tower and Northwest hot smoked salmon plus fun desserts such as pumpkin gelato and hummingbird cake.
Williams Sonoma ups the Turkey Day game by featuring turkeys from the legendary Willie Bird Ranch in California. Willie Bird turkeys are allowed to range freely and are fed a diet of natural grains.
A small turkey dinner for four ($189.80) includes a boneless turkey breast infused with basil, thyme, fennel and lavender. Butter chive mashed potatoes, green bean casserole with gruyere cheese sauce and shallots, plus a hand-crafted pecan pie round out the meal.

Ali Naseer, chief corporate and regulatory affairs officer at Pakistani operator Jazz, believes the wave of innovation in financial services has “serious potential” to unsettle the current system, with traditional players increasingly under pressure to adopt new technologies.
Speaking to Mobile World Daily ahead of his appearance today at Leaders Stage: Better Future for Commerce & Finance, Naseer said all industries, especially services, are facing “unprecedented pressures from technologically advanced customers and aggressive new market entrants”.
And the changes in financial services, which he described as “the most traditional and central industry in our economy”, puts longstanding banks, insurance companies and wealth management firms all under threat.
Taking a longer-term view, Naseer believes technology advancements and the evolution of customer expectations are providing “big opportunities for innovation”.
“From crypto-currencies to big data, fintech innovations have captured the attention of all,” he said, adding that technology such as blockchain and mobile payments would be the “catalyst” for ushering in changes to the traditional way the financial services industry has operated.
In Pakistan, where Jazz operates as one of the largest mobile wallet providers, Naseer said that illiteracy is one of the biggest challenges to fueling digital and mobile payment adoption. | 2019-04-25T05:46:49 | https://mobileinsights.mobileworldlive.com/mwcs18-dailies/tech-fueled-financial-revolution-threatens-traditional-players |
Michael Koretzky, creator and previous director of the Kunkel Awards, submitted his first-ever entry to the Excellence in Feature Writing category. It was on behalf of a journalist he felt went above and beyond. And Koretzky inadvertently disqualified himself.
The series — “Cuba: Where underground arcades, secret networks and piracy are a way of life” by Brian Crecente and Polygon — is a 12-parter covering various aspects of video gaming in Cuba.
Unfortunately for him, he’s right; the rules say you can’t submit a series that long. Since our maximum entries per series is three (a rule he wrote himself), his entry was booted from winning the category.
Putting Koretzky’s foible aside, the judges just couldn’t overlook the series’ enterprise.
So, they proposed we award the Cuba series separately from any category — but not without jabbing at Koretzky’s expense.
“Koretzky in his arrogance disqualified his own entry on a category he created,” out judge Gideon Grudo joked.
“I’d call it hubris,” another judge quipped.
So here it is: The Kunkels are awarding “Cuba: Where underground arcades, secret networks and piracy are a way of life” the Special Recognition award for 2017. Congratulations to Brian Crecente and Polygon.
Will this award manifest itself as a recurring category? I can’t say for sure yet, but one thing is clear: The judges genuinely believe this series is more than deserving of an award.
And with that, the winners for this year’s Kunkel Awards have all been revealed. I wanted to give a warm thank you to everyone who stuck around til the end of my first year as director. Don’t forget to save your favorite video game journalism this year to submit to next year’s awards!
In the Excellence in Feature Video category, many entries struggled to be journalistic — but at least the first place winner hit the nail on the head.
The first glaring issues among entries was this: many entrants didn’t know the difference between news, feature and opinion videos.
Fortunately, the beauty of feature categories is they are more all-encompassing than news. So, if you didn’t know the difference between news and feature, you may have gotten lucky by submitting to the right place anyway. But for the entrants that submitted opinion videos, you’re out of luck. Stating an opinion as fact is bad journalism.
Since so many entries (in multiple categories) failed to understand the difference between news, feature, and opinion, I wrote up a blog post on how to determine each of these journalism facets — which should help when submitting for next year’s awards. Keep your eyes peeled for that after this award season is over.
On top of not submitting to the right category, what separated the winners from the losers was lack of clarity. Many of the entries buried the lede or failed to qualify it.
Asking why we should care isn’t antagonistic (though I can’t speak for the judge); it’s important criticism for this journalist, and all journalists, to understand. When consulting the 5 W’s and the H (who, what, where, when, why, and how), the “why” is essential. Tell the audience why you’re talking about what you’re talking about. If you just dive into the details without setting up the “why” as the framework, you’ll potentially confuse your readers and lose their interest.
So, a few entries hit the mark in terms of not only submitting to the right place, but entering stories worthy of the “excellence” title. Check them out.
eSports intersect the Kunkels with the big leagues.
For the first time in Kunkel history, all three judges agreed on their top placements.
Excellence in eSports Writing is a brand new category with a lackluster opening night. There were only seven entrants, but despite that the judges found three they felt were more than deserving of a placement.
They all agreed the eSports category was broad — it allowed both feature and news stories. That broadness was a benefit.
Those mainstream publications Grudo’s talking about include The Rolling Stone and ESPN.
Overall, the judges were pleased with this new category.
Before we dig into the winners, I have to acknowledge a potentially-perceived conflict of interest. For the sake of transparency: One of our judges, who at this point remains anonymous, had a brief working relationship with the second place winner of this category in the past. More explanation on that transparency here.
Fortunately for our judge, there’s no monetary value in winning a Kunkel Award — meaning there’s no incentive for being biased. That is, unless you count the certificate we give to first place winners.
Which college journos made the honor roll?
One student publication submitted 50 entries to the Excellence in College Gaming Journalism category.
If the judges feel that one article is wasting their time, then you sure don’t want to waste their time 50 times. Especially if the pieces lack sourcing, balance, clarity — basically anything journalistic. Don’t get me wrong; I’m happy you submitted to the Kunkels. That being said, my advice is to be more selective.
What the judges did take away from going over the 50+ entries is the apparent lack of resources going to students seeking careers in gaming journalism.
Esports has had a hard time gaining traction on the sports scene, particularly here in the United States. ESPN’s showing of a DOTA 2 tournament was met with significant backlash back in 2015. This may be set to change however, as the Olympic Council of Asia has decided to introduce esports as a “demonstration sport” next year, and a medaled event in their 2022 Asian Games.
An advisor — or at least an editor — should have caught the bold claims not backed up with sourcing and data. Show us how eSports “has had a hard time gaining traction” and tell us more about this mysterious ESPN DotA 2 tournament.
The editor (or advisor) should have also set a standard of more than one single, lone, asocial source. This singular source was a press release — no human interaction required on the journalist’s part.
Since it’s so apparent that advisors and editors weren’t looking out for these basic journalism necessities, overall the judges felt college newsrooms were not holding gaming journalism to the same standards as they would for news, features and sports.
If the gaming stories aren’t being taken seriously by college journo editors and advisors, then the writers won’t improve in a meaningful way when they (hopefully) transition to a real-world newsroom.
“Games may be relegated to lower priority [in the college newsroom] and that may be fine for them, but it’s not fine for people looking to pursue careers in gaming journalism because they’re wasting their time and they can’t get jobs from this,” said Gideon Grudo, the one and only out judge of the Kunkels.
Another judge agreed, but made it clear not all of the blame lies on the newsroom; writers need to go above and beyond to ensure they are learning the tools for success.
The Excellence in News Video/Streaming category had a rough start. There were six entries — and according to the judges, too many struggled to get to the point.
When writing news stories (including videos), a best practice is to start the piece by stating the purpose of the article in the very beginning. Some journos call this the nut — the most important bits of the story bundled up nicely in an introductory sentence or paragraph. It usually follows a lede, an opening sentence meant to draw the reader in.
“Call me old-fashioned, but especially when you’re tackling a lot of data or numbers I feel like the approach should be: Tell them what you’re going to tell them, then tell them, and then tell them what you just told them. (In detail, this time.),” that same judge explained.
In other words: Don’t state opinion as fact. Don’t make wide-sweeping claims which can’t be proven and present them as facts. If you have an opinion to share, clearly identify it as an opinion.
The biggest takeaway from the Excellence in Feature Writing category was this: First impressions are everything.
When doing a feature story — or any story — it’s so important to give readers a reason to care. When you write your lede and nut (the introductory information in your article), you should write something compelling and accurate so readers are drawn in.
What you shouldn’t do is make sweeping generalizations while saving all the good bits for later.
Three years after Grand Theft Auto 3 defined the modern open-world action game, EA Tiburon — better known as the team behind Madden NFL — set out to try its own take on the genre. The target: a free roaming superhero simulator based on Bryan Singer’s blockbuster movie, “Superman Returns.” Many had high hopes.
One judge cited a point in the article that would have been a more striking way to start the story.
“We would send renderings of Superman, and we would get images back from Warner Bros. with his crotch area circled, ‘Make this part bigger; make this part smaller.’ This went on for months. Somebody trying to get the right balance of, ‘Well, I can see he’s got something but we don’t want to make it too big,'” says the team leader.
This was one of many entries with the same trend of foibles. Fortunately, there were three that made the cut.
Note that one of our judges stepped away from judging this category. They’re sitting out because they know one of the entrants beyond a work-related acquaintanceship. Read about why they’re recusing themselves here.
With a mere 10 entries, the Excellence in News Reporting category didn’t have a lot to choose from. Based on what the judges read, though, they were able to pick out three stories they loved — all from one writer.
The reason? Several stories were ruled out for being opinion and feature, and the remaining did not stand out to the judges as much as one writer’s three stories did.
And as they discussed the journalism, they noticed a curious coincidence. Each of the three pieces hit three different archetypes of news reporting.
That being said, they wanted to clarify the pieces weren’t picked because they hit three archetypes; the decision was coincidental.
The judges did just that — selecting the top stories they felt rocked.
The story that takes first place is investigative and battles misinformation. Those are traits that the judges commend, and want to see more of.
“It shows that as a journalist you have to be on your toes and be willing to adjust to any situation and write accordingly,” another judge agreed.
Pissed off that one journalist took all three placements? That’s okay. Here’s a solution: For next year’s Kunkels, remember to submit your favorite stories to their appropriate categories. That way, our judges have more than just ten stories to base their decisions on. | 2019-04-25T08:32:58 | https://blogs.spjnetwork.org/kunkel/category/uncategorized/ |

Sarah reached out to Liz to take on this website project with the goal of reexamining her approach to her brand and her brand messaging. When Sarah started her business, her approach was more fitness-based. And, of course, like it goes with all new businesses, her perspective changed! Sarah now focuses on helping women face deeper issues around emotional eating and the diet-binge cycle.
Sarah uses her blog and website as a platform on which to cast her unique (and AMAZINGLY funny) perspectives on an issue that distances itself so much from humor and good-feeling. But don’t let the laughing fool you – Sarah is, no-joke, one of the most qualified and brilliant individuals in her field.
Together, they created an online brand, image, and presence that was true to where Sarah was coming from. Liz also helped Sarah get a new domain name (formally SarahVanceFit.com) – she helped her snag SarahVance.com. And something as simple as dropping the fit makes all the difference. | 2019-04-21T10:03:43 | https://liztheresa.com/case-study/sarah-vance/ |

One day, a young bear stumbles upon something he has never seen before in the forest. As time passes, he teaches himself how to play the strange instrument, and eventually the beautiful sounds are heard by a father and son who are picnicking in the woods. The bear goes with them on an incredible journey to New York, where his piano playing makes him a huge star. He has fame, fortune and all the music in the world, but he misses the friends and family he has left behind. A moving tale of exploration and belonging from an exciting debut author-illustrator.
This is a lovely heart warming story about a bear and his piano adventures. Would highly recommend this book.
Lottie loved this book! it became one of her favourite books and we had to read it over and over again. Its a very heart warming story with lovely illustrations. A bear and his piano go on some adventures.
A wonderfully illustrated story about a bear chasing his dreams, but remembering his roots and those who were there at the start of his journey. | 2019-04-19T00:55:34 | https://toppsta.com/books/details/215827/the-bear-and-the-piano |
That’s a game changer for me----seeing the sacredness of what I do each day. In my job, in my interactions, in the way I brush my teeth---you name it. Each moment is precious and I, for sure, need to remember that all the time.
The more I relish and see each moment as a gift the more my heart opens. The brighter my heart-light the better my future.
Will you embrace each moment as sacred today? | 2019-04-22T06:41:25 | http://www.shiftwideopen.com/blogpov-shift/category/sacred-mundane |
Thanks again to Avant for hosting play on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. The Friday games (rounds 4 and 5) are in the link below, as well as the first Saturday game, Round 6.
Yesterday and today, we are at 400 E. Randolph. It's a hospitality room in a beautiful condominium building that was EAST of Lake Shore Drive until the S-curve was straightened a couple decades ago. It's a more intimate setting, just the right size for our players.
Saturday was the kind of beautiful early spring day meant for golf. Beautiful buildings built in the early 1960s are very good at keeping people warm in winter and cool in summer. But they are not engineered to handle weather surprises, such as an eighty-degree day in early spring..
Fortunately, the building management responded quickly, adding powerful fans to cool the room. All the heat in Round 7 came from the games: I'll have those up later today.

My roommate and I lived off homemade banana ice-cream (bananas were the cheapest fruit and it suited our ‘model budget’). We sat under the air-con until dusk most days and left our shoebox apartment just before the sun was setting, to avoid the Tokyo summertime heat.
We fell asleep on our bunk beds at four in the morning, when the night sky was turning to blue and the sun would start to peep through our makeshift curtains. We woke at lunchtime and lazed around drinking cocoa and chilled tea and making quick dashes to the Family Mart downstairs if we were feeling peckish or if our agency required us. We were, after all, at their disposal.
Castings would last till late into the night and we would watch from behind the car window, the city changing from a hot sweaty mess into a wonderland, where the streets would light up for us, like magic.
Saying goodbyes are never easy. My new friends had to go their ways and I had to go mine. On my last night I tried to sleep, but instead, I pulled back my hair and sat outside, alone on our balcony, watching the taxis hurry by in a blaze of fuzzy lights, while the warm summer night passed over me and my bare back. | 2019-04-25T22:50:08 | http://undonejournal.com/tokyo-is-ours/ |

Home Business How Did Birdman And Cash Money Records Become So Rich And Powerful?
AFRICANGLOBE – On a hot summer day in 1991, two brothers named Bryan and Ronald Williams launched a rap label called Cash Money Records. They hoped Cash Money would some day pull them out of one of New Orlean’s most wretchedly poor housing projects. Neither of them had any experience running a record label, or even working in the music industry. They didn’t own a recording studio and they didn’t have any artists on their roster. But what they did have was a dream and the willingness to do whatever it took to be successful.
When the Williams brothers founded Cash Money Records in 1991, the underground hip-hop scene in New Orleans was just starting to catch fire. A trend called “bounce music” was exploding all over Louisiana thanks to artists like DJ Irv and TT Tucker. The opportunity for a couple of ambitious entrepreneurs was ripe. To launch Cash Money Records (CMR), the Williams brothers first reached out to their father, who owned a popular local bar/nightclub. Unfortunately, a few thousand dollars from their dad didn’t provide nearly enough for Cash Money to get off the ground.
The real money that launched CMR came from their half brother Terrence Williams who was the founder of a notorious drug crew called the Hot Boys (not to be confused with the Cash Money rap group of the same name that came years later). Ronald and Bryan chose the name “Cash Money Records” as a reference to the recently released film “New Jack City”, in which Wesley Snipes played a wealthy New York City gangster who runs a crew called the “Cash Money Brothers”.
With their start up capital secured, the Williams brothers began signing local talent. Their first roster artist was a 16 year old kid named Kilo-G. Pretty soon they had around a dozen artists most notably Lil Slim, Mr. Ivan, PxMxWx and U.N.L.V. In those early days, the Williams brothers organized local shows then sold their artist’s records right from the trunk of their car!
One of the most fundamental events in the history of CMR happened in 1993 when the label signed a talented DJ/producer named Mannie Fresh. Before Mannie Fresh came along, Cash Money’s lyrics and sound were very raw and gangster rap influenced. On the other end of the spectrum, Manny Fresh had just spent more than a decade mixing and producing pop influenced house music beats for DJs in New York City. The combination of Manny’s more consumer-friendly beats, with Cash Money’s gangster image and lyrics, quickly came to be known as “Gansta Bounce”. Gansta Bounce instantly struck a nerve with hip-hop fans throughout Louisiana.
Through sheer hustle and talent, Cash Money records signed dozens more artists between 1994 and 1997. Even more impressively, their albums were selling between 25,000 and 50,000 copies without a distribution or promotional deal from any major label. U.N.L.V.’s second album sold 60,000 copies. The Hot Boy$’ debut album sold an astonishing 300,000 copies in its first few months alone, almost exclusively in the greater New Orleans area. The Hot Boy$, who were barely old enough to drive, featured the rappers Juvenile, B.G., Turk and a 15 year old who went by the name Lil Wayne.
At the beginning 1998, every major record label the world made the trek from New York City to New Orleans seeking out the infamous Williams brothers. Even if Cash Money had sold a few hundred thousand albums independently, most labels sought to sign them to a standard rookie deal. That deal typically involved a small cash advance, plus a 50/50 split of all profits earned on albums sales. Also, the record label would maintain ownership of any current and future master copies of albums and publishing rights.
You can imagine the shock each major label executive felt when they heard what the Williams brothers were demanding. Birdman and Slim wanted an 80/20 pressing and distribution deal, plus a multi-million dollar cash advance. This was nothing short of unprecedented for an unsigned indie label. A pressing & distribution deal meant that Cash Money would continue finance their own albums and therefore maintain ownership of all their masters, royalties and publishing. Essentially they were looking for a company that would finance their entire label with millions of dollars, in exchange for a measly 20% cut of the profits made only when a consumer physically purchased an album. To say this was unheard of, is a massive understatement. As Russel Simmons explained at the time, this was the kind of deal an artist like Madonna or Michael Jackson is lucky to get after a decade being on top of the charts.
Amazingly, despite their insane demands, two labels were still interested, Sony and Universal. Both companies knew they wouldn’t ever make much money off the deal, but Cash Money represented something far more important: Market share. Making a deal with Cash Money would give the winning record company an instant foothold in the rising southern hip-hop market. It would allow them to court future artists and sell their current roster to people they had never successfully reached before. With that prize up for grabs, Sony and Universal made their pitches. In the end, Universal’s offer was just far too much for Sony to match. Not only did Universal bow to every single demand made by the Williams brothers, they arranged for Cash Money to immediately receive a $3 million cash advance plus $1.5 million for every album they produced each year. In total the deal was worth a mind boggling $30 million.
This pressure was definitely on for Birdman and Cash Money to deliver. Fortunately one their first releases was a massive hit. Juvenile’s 1998 solo debut “400 Degreez” sold 4 million copies right out of the gate thanks to the hit single “Back That Azz Up”, and set Cash Money on the world map. From then on the Cash Money team became a hit making machine. Between 2001 and 2003 alone, CMR sold over 10 million albums worldwide thanks to artists like Big Tymers (which featured Birdman himself), B.G. Lil Wayne, Hot Boy$ and more.
Cash Money Records is arguably the only major label in the world that has stayed relevant continuously for the last 20 years straight. There have been a few minor weak periods, but overall CMR has been able to sell millions of records every year since the launch of their incredible deal with Universal. Recently, Cash Money has even begun to aggressively diversify its artist roster in to non-rap areas of music. They won a bidding war to represent Canadian super star Drake, they signed Kevid Rudolph, Nicki Minaj, Busta Rhymes, Limp Bizkit, Jay Sean and even Paris Hilton. Birdman has stated publicly that Cash Money’s ultimate goal is to release 100 albums a year from artists in every single genre of music. Even more amazingly, Birdman believes Cash Money Records is on pace to become the first billion dollar music brand of all time, within the next five years. In total, artists from Cash Money Records have sold over 150 million albums worldwide to date.
Thanks to the phenomenal success of Cash Money Records, today Birdman is sitting on an extremely impressive $170 million net worth. He drives a $5 million Bugatti and is rarely seen without wearing at least $10 million worth of jewelry. He lives in a stunning $14.5 million mansion on Miami’s exclusive Star Island. As for Ronald “Slim” Williams, he recently spent $7.5 million purchase the largest house in South Florida. And the best part? He paid cash. As we all know, Lil Wayne is one of the most successful and active artists in the world today. Wayne’s net worth recently topped $130 million.
So what’s the lesson here? If you have a dream, work hard and take a chance… you might make a ton of cash money some day! | 2019-04-21T20:11:35 | https://www.africanglobe.net/business/birdman-cash-money-records-rich-powerful/ |
