UK Commercial Property REIT, which is managed and advised by Aberdeen Standard Investments, has let a 25,882-sq ft retail unit at St George’s retail park in Leicester to Home Bargains.
Home Bargains has agreed to a 15-year lease in line with ERV and with fixed uplifts every five years. The new store is expected to open in summer 2019, joining existing occupiers including Aldi, Iceland, Pets at Home and Currys.
The construction of an additional three units totalling 24,450 sq ft, which forms part of the wider asset management strategy for the retail park, has practically completed. Leases have been completed with Laura Ashley, Tapi Carpets and Wren, who are fitting out and will open in the coming months. Costa Coffee will also open a coffee convenience pod at the park in Spring 2019 on a 10-year lease.
UKCM was advised by Morgan Williams and Cushman & Wakefield. | 2019-04-24T12:05:35 | http://www.retaildestination.co.uk/home-bargains-signs-in-leicester/ |

Land investment is hotter than ever. A new generation of investors are looking to begin their portfolios and many of them are finding success through land investment. With comparatively low costs to get started and little to no overhead, investing in Framingham land has become a very attractive investment option.
Question 1: What is the end goal of your Framingham land investment?
Question 5: How will you purchase investment land in Framingham?
Before you buy land in Framingham, you need to determine how you will pay for it. If you are looking to get a loan, the process is a bit different than obtaining a traditional mortgage. Many people use cash to pay for the land they buy in Framingham. If you are not paying in cash, watch out for buyers who are. They can be some tough competition when offers are being put on the table. Many people will favor the ease of a cash sale.
Have you been following the land’s value over time? Take a look at the past value and sales records to see if it is appreciating at the level you would like it to. If the value is staying pretty stagnant, you might want to look at a different parcel for your Framingham land investment purchase. | 2019-04-23T18:29:32 | https://www.webuyhouses-ma.com/investment-land-in-framingham/ |
Twilio, the leading cloud communications platform, announced the successful completion of its previously announced acquisition of SendGrid, Inc., the leading email API platform. This follows approval by the stockholders of both companies at separate meetings on Jan. 30, 2019. This transaction is valued at approximately $3 billion. Based on the closing price of Twilio Class A common stock on Jan. 31, 2019 and the exchange ratio of 0.485 shares of Twilio Class A common stock per share of SendGrid common stock, SendGrid stockholders received approximately $53.99 of aggregate value per share of SendGrid common stock. As a result of the acquisition, shares of common stock of SendGrid ceased trading prior to the open of the market on Feb. 1, 2019 and will no longer be listed on the New York Stock Exchange.
With SendGrid, developers and businesses can use Twilio to reach their customers over any channel – voice, SMS, Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, video, and now email. Across a wide variety of customer touchpoints, companies can now trust one platform to deliver the right communication, on the right channel, without having to setup different vendors for each approach. | 2019-04-23T03:03:20 | https://martechseries.com/content-marketing/email-mktg/twilio-completes-acquisition-sendgrid/ |

Southern Museum | HomeTown News, Inc.
Atlanta is blessed with an outstanding Civil War exhibit at the Atlanta History Center, but sometimes it is nice to get out of town and see something new. The Southern Museum of Civil War and Locomotive History is a perfect alternative in these days of the Civil War Sesquicentennial.
Located a short drive west of Atlanta in Kennesaw, this museum is associated with the Smithsonian Institution through its affiliation program. Although relatively small, the Southern Museum is loaded with exceptional exhibits. The first is devoted to American railroads and the crucial role they played in the Civil War. There are some amazing artifacts to be seen here associated with area railroads.
This naturally leads to a film and exhibit about the famous Andrews’ Raid, which initiated the dramatic Great Locomotive Chase through northwest Georgia in 1862. Featured is the “General” locomotive itself, one of the best restored locomotives from that era and stunningly exhibited.
Other parts of the museum are equally unique. There is a large room devoted to the Glover Ma-chine Works of Marietta. This exhibit of a local business born in antebellum days shows how it became a manufacturer of steam engines well into the twentieth century. There is also the Jolley Education Center for children’s activities and a beautiful gift shop.
The museum is located at 2829 Cherokee Street in Kennesaw and is open daily (except for five holidays). Admission ranges from $5.50 to $7.50 (children under three are admitted free). It is a short drive out Cobb Parkway or I-75. For more information, call 770-427-2117 or visit www.southernmuseum.org. | 2019-04-19T10:26:36 | http://hometownnewsatlanta.com/southern-museum/ |

In advance of Earth Day on Friday, April 22, Schlafly Beer raises awareness of their sustainable practices with a new packaging update to their entire portfolio of beers. The brewery buys green power offsets to operate completely on 100% renewable energy at both brewpub locations of the Tap Room and Bottleworks as well as their off-site warehouse. Now, all Schlafly packaging showcases that designation.
This practice, in addition to other sustainable initiatives, has contributed to the Bottleworks’ community of Maplewood, MO recognition as a Green Power Community by the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency). Additionally, Schlafly will meet with its brewing industry peers in St. Louis on Thursday, April 21 other members of the St. Louis Brewers Guild at Urban Chestnut’s Tower Grove location to discuss the future of sustainability in the craft beer industry.
The City of Maplewood with the assistance of the Maplewood Sustainability Commission was recognized for meeting the Green Power Community challenge on Sept. 19, 2015, by the EPA. Green Power Communities are towns, villages, cities, or counties in which the local government, businesses, and residents collectively buy green power in amounts that meet EPA purchase requirements for the Green Power Partnership program. These communities are supporting renewable energy and reducing their carbon footprints from electricity use. Maplewood is the third community in Missouri and one of 56 in the country to join the EPA Green Power Community ranks. Maplewood can proudly boast that it supports more than 7 million kilowatt-hours of green power annually, the equivalent to the electricity use of nearly 700 average American homes; the environmental impact of this participation is similar to taking 1,278 cars off the road for one year.
Hosting the weekly Schlafly Farmers Markets on Wednesday evenings from 4- 7 p.m.
Supporting Ameren’s Pure Power renewable energy program, as well as hosting and supporting local sustainability organizations Slow Food St. Louis, St. Louis Originals, and St. Louis Earth Day.
Schlafly Beer has been the exclusive beer sponsor of St. Louis Earth Day for 10 years, with the largest commitment to date this year, including donating $1 for every pint of Schlafly Beer purchased in the month of April to St. Louis Earth Day, among other initiatives.
Founded in 1991 by Tom Schlafly in St. Louis, Schlafly Beer is the largest locally owned and independent craft brewery in Missouri, proudly offering more than 50 unique styles of craft beer. The celebrated brewing company continues to define craft with a dedication to sourcing the best ingredients, supporting local sustainability and community efforts whenever possible, and delivering a superior beer experience from year-round to limited-edition styles.
In 2014, Schlafly Beer’s production of 60,000 barrels of beer took place between its two brewery-restaurants, Schlafly Tap Room (2100 Locust St.) in downtown St. Louis, and Schlafly Bottleworks (7260 Southwest Ave.) located in Maplewood. The Schlafly Tap Room was the first new brewpub to open in Missouri since Prohibition and is housed in a restored wood and brick building on the National Historic Register. Schlafly Bottleworks offers free weekend tours every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from 12-5 p.m. on the hour, and every half hour on Saturdays. Schlafly Tap Room offers free brewery tours every Sunday. For a full listing of Schlafly Beers and for more information on distribution, visit www.schlafly.com.

Google newest Android 4.4 also known as KitKat has just been announced. And you would think why KitKat, mainly just because the Google Execs love to ‘have a break’, with it. Now if you are wondering how Google selects the dessert-themed Android naming, we really don’t know but thanks to Mashable for showing 9 other food names that unfortunately not consumed by Google.
One of the compelling names from the list for us will be Nutella, which seemed to have a bright future and or kinda easy to remember. Which of these names you think that Google should reconsider for their future Android OS versions? How about ‘Hotdog’?

Raid is a pesticide for killing bugs. I got a solution for the bots!
Everyone is aware of these Demon Slater bots botting for Elite Bosses and fly/ vacuum all the items in the bonus stage. Bots are also used in training by some suspicious high level people or to get a HS/Kishin mule. Some low level bots such as Jetts, are used to advertise in Henesys/FM as well as Ard.
I understand GMs in charge of user abuse don't approve this and make an effort to ban these bots/lazy players using perm bans. A problem is that botters, reproduce very fast due to just the fact that have random sequences for their IGNs and all they do is loop a script with a few loops and coordinates.
To prevent bots from reproducing or have players who just won't listen, would it be wise to first install captchas to test all players. Then send those who fail 5x into "limbo-ban" (it can lead to temporary ban if it is a user with an IGN that somewhat makes sense as well as its Nexon ID and Email, otherwise bots would be banned permanently via their MAC address and Nexon ID and that user won't be able to play/bot again.) You may wonder "they can get another PC," or "They multi-client, not good enough," but this system will continue and eventually, each MAC ban would cost the person hundreds of dollars, and even if they do sell the Maplestory2 items for real currency, they would eventually lose money and stop botting.
I hope that adding this system would benefit all the servers since bots cannot sell deflated goods, advertise sites, or benefit those who are too lazy to play.
Even though they might have used some unorthodox method to gather these goods, what happens to us normal consumers that buy some of these maplestory2 items? Are we always at risk if we buy from 'anyone'?
I've been meaning to write this for some time now, but I've restrained myself from doing so out of my belief that Nexon would fix itself before June.
I would like to think that my equip-able items that I have are now outdated, even though they were considered higher tier items when i played years ago. What would be the high tier or endgame Maplestory2 items be nowadays?
Best way to make maplestory2 mesos w/o spending real money? | 2019-04-24T12:13:08 | https://www.maplestory2-mesos.com/news/raid-is-a-pesticide-for-killing-maplestory2-bugs |
No matter how formal or informal the agreements between students and mentors may be, as the student progresses through a program you might need to revisit the roles and responsibilities each of you has assumed. Some responsibilities that pertain to students and to faculty members are matters of departmental policy and are not negotiable. Nonetheless, you should fully explore your expectations of each other on several dimensions, especially when a mentor is also an advisor or thesis/dissertation chair.
Students should develop and share with mentors a work plan that includes short- and long-term goals within reasonable (achievable) timelines. Make sure these plans are feasible and meet the academic program's requirements. At least once a quarter, meet to discuss progress, as well as any obstacles encountered. Discuss any additional training and experiences students need to achieve their goals. If adjusting timelines becomes necessary, work together to agree upon new plans.
Discuss how often you'll meet and what other modes of communication, such as emails, can keep your conversations going. Identify issues you feel require a face-to-face meeting and those that can be dealt with in other ways. Each of you should identify the circumstances, if any, under which you feel it is appropriate to be contacted at home by phone, instant message, or other means.
Students, be sure you request the amount of meeting time you believe you need to progress on your goals. While a mentoring relationship is one of mutuality, be prepared to lead meetings with an agenda to maximize your time together.
Some professors prefer students to take responsibility for arranging and leading meetings while others prefer to share the responsibility. Some prefer students to prepare agendas in advance so as to maximize time together. Mentors should communicate their preferences and extend a clear invitation to contact them when they need help.
Mentors, be explicit if you have a heavy travel schedule, are about to take a sabbatical, or will be assuming an administrative position. If you are unable to meet often enough to satisfy students' needs, discuss alternative means of communication such as e-mail, and suggest other people or resources to consult.
Discuss how often the mentor will give feedback on the student's progress and how long he or she typically needs to return papers or drafts of articles. Communicate about current workloads so you can plan deadlines appropriately, and offer sufficient lead time.
Mentors should tell students whether to expect lots of feedback or sparse feedback, and explain how they intend that feedback to help the student's intellectual and professional growth.
Agree in advance on the best way for the student to remind the professor about getting work back to them. For instance, students can ask: "When you are very busy, how should I remind you about a paper of mine that you have? Should I email you, call you, or come by your office? How much in advance should I remind you — one week ahead, or would you prefer two?"
Mentors, explain how long it generally takes you to review students' work, and let them know how they can best follow up if you are unable to reply within the specified time frame. For instance, you might like an e-mail or phone reminder a few days before the agreed-upon date. Each time students submit work to you, let them know when they can expect you to return it. Take these opportunities to remind students of your feedback style and your expectations.
Discuss expectations for drafts of work to be submitted for feedback. Some professors prefer not to receive very rough drafts and might suggest that they first be shared with a trusted peer or writing group and revised before being handed in. Students should help mentors be more expedient by highlighting revised sections with each document version.
Mentors, communicate your philosophy and expectations about co-authorship, as well as your willingness to help prepare work for submission to journals and conferences.
Students, explain the kinds of publishing or presentation opportunities you seek. Your mentor's position as a senior or junior faculty member might influence his or her perspective. You may be able to work out a plan that alternates credit for first and second authorship (or first and second presenters) depending on the nature of the joint project and the roles you might play over time.
If you are working closely on a research project, clarify who owns the data being collected and whether others will be able to have access. Consideration for the ownership and sharing of research is important in all disciplines. Discuss the ownership of any copyright and patent agreements that might result from a project. For further information, contact the UNL Office of Research.
All research involving human subjects performed or supervised by UNL faculty, staff, or students must be reviewed by the UNL Research Compliance Office. It is your obligation as a researcher to seek Human Subjects review and approval prior to the beginning of research activities. Research with human subjects cannot be retroactively reviewed and approved. Moreover, performing a human subjects study without prior review and approval is considered "serious non-compliance" according to federal regulations, and must be brought to a full Institutional Review Board for inquiry and action. More information is available from the Office of Research Responsibility.
Students and mentors who develop close relationships sometimes discuss confidential issues. Be explicit about the confidentiality you would like accorded to you regarding sensitive issues you might speak about, and offer strict confidentiality in return. An exception to confidentiality is the obligation of all UNL employees, including graduate assistants, to report instances of sexual harassment to organizational superiors.
Students, before you approach the job search phase of your graduate experience, think about the letters of recommendation you might need and identify people in the best position to speak to your abilities and achievements. Ask your mentors how much advance notice they like to receive for writing a recommendation letter, and how you can remind them. Be sure to provide key details about the fellowship, grant, program, or job the letter of recommendation supports, and identify any areas of expertise that you would like your letter writer to emphasize. Attach an updated copy of your curriculum vitae, highlighting key sections. Ask one or more mentors to visit the classes you teach or labs you run so they can reflect knowledgeably on your professional abilities.
Mentors, let students know how much time you need to write letters on their behalf and what supporting information would be useful to you. In your letters, try to address multiple facets of students' work. Some faculty visit classes or labs taught by their graduate students so they can address teaching abilities in their recommendation letters. | 2019-04-25T10:11:23 | https://www.unl.edu/mentoring/clarify-roles-and-responsibilities |

Hungarian composer Franz Liszt (1811-86), widely acclaimed as the greatest piano virtuoso of his time, was afflicted with the same complaint troubling most famous musicians, in that he was constantly expected to perform for whatever audience might be assembled.
At one especially tedious party, the hostess was so obvious about hinting that she was looking forward to a performance that she arranged the piano in the middle of the room, where it could not be missed.
Liszt, upon arriving and noting what was in store, asked his hostess where the piano was.
"Oh, would you really?" she intoned, "Here it is!"
"Ah, true," replied Liszt. "I wanted to put my hat on it ..." | 2019-04-22T04:36:12 | http://www.dw-jotd.com/classic/famous_folk/liszt.htm |

New York band Peel Dream Magazine have this week released the latest single from their upcoming debut album. 'Deetjens' is the fourth to be taken from Modern Meta Physic, which is due for full release on 5th October.
Joe Stevens of the band said: "Deetjen's is a very old bed and breakfast in the redwood forest of Big Sur, California. All of the rooms are little cabins with metal stoves for heat, and there is a little restaurant in the main building. My fiancee and I went there when we first started dating - it's a super romantic place.
The LP plays with this aesthetic of bohemia existing in natural settings, and the bed and breakfast is quintessentially that. It is cosmically related to the Catskills in its own Jack Kerouac, logwood way."
Written and recorded over a four week period in Autumn 2017, the album takes a look at new age New York, traditions and urban expats. Taking influence from the likes of Belle and Sebastian and Unrest and a name from the almighty John Peel, the band have some big shoes to fill.
Listen below to hear their new single now. | 2019-04-20T20:37:10 | https://www.thedigitalfix.com/music/content/30615/peel-dream-magazine-share-new-single-deetjens/ |

Diana Dobson is on a quest to put a face to the past.
She’s gone to great lengths to do that, having travelled to Russia to retrace her family’s roots, and established a Victoria group that can help others connect with their Germans-from-Russia heritage.
Many German families relocated to Russia in the mid-1700s. But as the political climate worsened, many picked up and left for a fresh start in the United States and Canada.
Since then, generations have been on a journey to understand and connect with the religions, culture and language of the Germans from Russia – reason why Dobson founded the Victoria Germans from Russia Historical Society 15 years ago.
Members have come and gone over the years, and at present there are about 30 involved.
Over the years, the group – part of the larger American Historical Society of Germans from Russia – has helped people find answers by linking them with a treasure trove of genealogical resources, from books to obituaries to online titles.
Helena Rouleau’s experience as a society member and director went one step further, when she learned she was related to another person in the group.
The chapter is holding a heritage celebration on Saturday (May 14), as a way of reaching out to residents in Greater Victoria who share a cultural connection.
Jerome Siebert, president of the American society, will speak at the event, which includes a performance by the Victoria Edelweiss Club Harmony Choir, and a screening of the documentary, It’s All Earth and Sky. There will also be a genealogical book sale.
The event is from 2 to 4 p.m. at Gordon Head United Church, 4201 Tyndall Ave. Admission is by donation.

The Bottom Line: Hooray, yet another enema.
On Thursday morning I go for a rectal ultrasound, whoopee! Sounds like fun, and the best part is having to have an enema at 5.30 in the morning, brave the rush hour traffic all the way to Kfar Saba and then have an interesting encounter with a large 'sensor'. With any luck the tumour will see a big stick coming at it and run for its life.
But seriously, I really can't complain about the care Kupat Holim is taking of me, so far at least. I have a gastroenterologist who treats me as an intelligent person, I have been sent promptly for all the tests and can view my medical file any time I want on line. I have been given a recommendation for a surgeon, and will probably be having surgery pretty soon now. That's a bit scary ( or a lot, actually), and the hardest thing is that it is so sudden. A month ago I was healthy, as far as I knew, and not just heathy, fit, strong and feeling good. Now I'm waiting to be dissected. | 2019-04-21T04:45:11 | http://mybottomblog.blogspot.com/2012/11/hooray-yet-another-enema.html |
Hi Tamara, thank you so much for your note. I think I'm just really depressed. You guys are a God-send. I don't really want to talk to other people I know about it anymore, because I think they think I should be over it. It's been nearly eight months, I don't think I'll ever be over it. I'm glad that you understand me, even though I wish you didn't have to. Thanks, it really does help.
Tamara, yes, i totally agree, everything has to be in your own timing and your own way. Unless, you've been there, how can someone really say. My friend told me yesterday, well, your mom was sick for a couple of weeks so you were prepared whereas, another girl that was there with us lost her mother unexpectedly. I said, nonetheless, you still have your mother. The loss of a mother whether it's expected or not is a tragedy. After all our mother's gave us life and are apart of us and will forever be. Thanks you put it all into perspective!! | 2019-04-18T13:03:16 | http://connect.legacy.com/profile/Tamara44 |

In order to experience the Spirit’s power, we need know the Spirit as a Person, to begin a relationship with him through prayer.
Into a historical moment when many Christians feel disoriented, 1–2 Peter helps us recenter our hope on Christ.
Before we address fighting sin, it is worthwhile to point out that the victory over sin has already been won in Christ.

Winter months are an especially good time to layer clothes to optimise warmth and there is nothing better than having a cosy 100% wool jumper or cardigan to snuggle in to. Wool Overs is a fabulous brand who I recently had the pleasure of working with and they provide 100% wool clothing all over the world.
This beautiful black aran cardigan was gifted to me and I just love the chunkiness of the cable design. A high funnel neck and ornate horn buttons compliment the cardigan and with great patch pockets that come in really useful for keeping your hands warm (or carrying your phone) it has become a staple of my winter wardrobe, looking good teamed with jeans for casual wear or even better with skirts and tights. The workmanship and quality of the cardigan is first class and I am sure it will last for many years. Unfortunately I could not get a photograph which showed off the cardigan to its best and therefore used the photo from Wool Overs.
Wool Overs has over 160 designs available in 180 different colour combinations and has been supplying woollens for over 20 years along with cotton, silk and cashmere designs too. At the minute they have a great sale on and my cardigan is reduced from £60 to £39 which is a bargain, why not take a look and see if there is anything to take your fancy?
This looks great, and so warm. I love wearing a chunky long cardigan. I get so cold in the winter and this is the perfect way to stay warm!

Try to spend a day “off the grid” and you’d better leave your credit and debit cards, transit pass, school or work ID, passport, and cell phone at home—basically, anything with a barcode, magnetic strip, RFID, or GPS receiver.
Routinely, businesses now ask shadow-working customers to cough up personal information as a way to smooth transactions, or even enable them to buy things at all. To make online purchases, customers open accounts with bookstores, banks, newspapers, utilities, sports teams, apparel vendors, phone service providers, and so on. Everyone wants you to open an account. This means supplying contact and demographic data and then having all transactions tracked, building a personal profile for the vendor. That profile enables vendors to activate “recommendation engines.” Once its algorithms have examined your past purchases, Amazon can recommend books or desk lamps you might like, and Netflix can suggest movies to rent. On my computer, opening Amazon.com brings up thumbnails of books by Bill Bryson, an author whose works I have purchased, and books on pharmaceutical companies, a topic I’ve browsed.
In this RSA talk the pioneering online campaigner Eli Pariser talks about a crucial and, as yet under-discussed, danger facing the the social media web: the expansion of filtering into every aspect of our online activity. Sites collect data on usage patterns, particularly our reactions to being presented with content and the action (e.g. ‘like’, ‘share’, ‘+1’) we take in response to what we see. Without collecting such data any possibility of a semantic web is immediately foreclosed because human meaning has to enter the processing system somewhere. Yet the sheer opacity with which these technologies are being developed, let alone how they are being implemented on the web, demands urgent political debate.
However it would be easy to be alarmist about this and throw the baby out with the bath water. The problem is not filtering per se but rather the private and opaque nature of this filtering. In so far as the development and roll out of the technology is reliant on the corporate structures of capitalism, it’s difficult to avoid the former entirely. But the demand shouldn’t be for liberation from the filter bubble these corporations have placed us in – it should be for them to make their technology available to us so that we can design and implement our own filtering bubbles, as part of our ongoing day-to-day interactions with the internet, driven by our awareness of what we do and do not want to see. Certainly the computational systems they’ve developed allow us to see connections which we might not be consciously aware of: I’ve come across rafts of fascinating reading through following Amazon’s ‘other customers who bought this also bought’ system. But this should be an opt in system, rather than something imposed upon us. It could be argued that there are political problems inherent in this as well – as Cass Sunstein plausibly argues in his Republic 2.0 – given the possibility that already politically divided societies are likely to become ever more polarized when individuals self-select for all the content they encounter.
However firstly it’s necessary if we’re going to have any possibility of engaging productively and creatively with modern digital technology simply because of the exponential trend of content growth which goes hand-in-hand with the mass uptake of social media tools. Secondly, the problems attached to it are contingent and emergent (i.e. they result from when people in practice do this filtering badly, often for reasons not of their own making) rather than being intrinsic to filtering itself. Thirdly, the sheer cultural value of web 2.0 demands new proficiencies on the part of its users: we can either retreat from information overload (see the growing trend for going offline, protectively lock ourselves into virtual bubbles of our own making, stay passively within the corporate infosphere* OR we can embrace the challenges that come from this revolution in human communication, using the tools available to us in order to dialogically develop a dynamic filtering orientation as we negotiate an ongoing path through human culture in the 21st century. | 2019-04-19T08:55:16 | https://markcarrigan.net/tag/filter-bubble/ |

Award-winning science journalist Dianne Dumanoski considered her 1985 story on the science of the Antarctic ozone hole, published on the front page of the Boston Globe, “the most important story I had ever written.” Humanity had narrowly escaped full-scale disruption of a stratospheric chemical shield essential to our survival. Faulty assumptions and outright mistakes brought us – and all higher life – to the brink of calamity. How, Dumanoski wondered, could a banal, supposedly inert synthetic compound have triggered global jeopardy? How could its chemistry have been so thoroughly misunderstood, mis-measured, and misjudged?
Later, puzzling over the story’s meaning, she came to see it signaling “a new and ominous epoch when human activity began to disrupt the essential but invisible planetary systems that sustain a dynamic, living Earth.” Dumanoski was among the first journalists to break the news to general readers: Disrupting the planet’s metabolism was no longer a theoretical possibility. It was a fact. The ozone story called for new institutions, new economic arrangements, and a new understanding of the Earth.
In The End of the Long Summer, Dumanoski applies the lessons of the ozone story to the challenge she calls “a planetary emergency . . . that involves far more than the pressing problem of climate change.” She examines evolutionary and modern history for clues about our capacity – as a species and as a civilization – to act. Dumanoski’s criterion for success in the coming century is not prosperity, but survival. If she is right, success will boil down to our ability to “shockproof” societies to withstand changes unlike any confronted during the 10,000-year run of the civilization project.

ARC Review: FOR THE LOVE OF LUCA by Soraya Naomi | The Biblioholic ~ Read more. Sleep less.
A standalone novel from the Chicago Syndicate world. It's not necessary to have read book 1 and 2.
Life is never boring for those who belong to the Chicago Syndicate. The characters we have grown to love and adore have settled into married life, some with families of their own. But the peace is broken by lies, secrets, and deceptions. What once was strong is now weakened by doubt. At a time when Fallon and Luca should be clinging to each other fiercely and holding onto hope, the distance between them widens and both find the chasm hard to breach. Their love for one another still burned brightly, however, would it still remain when the smoke cleared?
I’ve been the biggest fan of this series. I’ve recommended it, gifted it, and probably irritated the heck out of my friends with my endless talk about it. Yet, this particular story didn’t speak to my heart as much as the others did. It felt a bit repetitive to me. For someone who has read all of the other books, most of the small details were unnecessary. However, I get why there were mentioned repeatedly. For those who are new to these books or haven’t read every single one of them, then this can definitely be read as a standalone. Although the bits of action in this story didn’t hurt, it was mostly full of love, hope and family. | 2019-04-26T08:27:16 | http://www.nbiblioholic.com/2018/04/arc-review-for-love-of-luca-by-soraya.html |

Usually, particularly for novice writers, it requires as much as three writing essays to four draft variations, if you find no pity showing the manuscript towards the peers.
(c) Are there any facts that are enough this article through the point of view of one’s logic? possibly one thing should be added, or maybe you ought to research one thing when you look at the literary works, so the argument gets to be more convincing?
Finally, you might be content with the draft and make it to your expected co-authors. Make sure to demand that all them, without exclusion, see the text and accept it. You will do require their comments that are critical suggestions, and often also their involvement when you look at the writing associated with article.
The opinions of this co-authors can be quite significant, along with their working design. Much relies on the design, most importantly, the perception of work by those to who you might be handling it. In addition, your co-author may be a supporter of some style that is certain and also you might choose another. It’s required to stipulate this during the draft phase.
Probably the most crucial demands for the design: quality, precision and brevity. Be mindful when selecting the language, don’t use terms that are inadequate. Preferably, your thing should really be so that the written text is read at simplicity. It really is hard. It really is a great even for fiction literary works. The very first guideline right here may be the usage of quick expressions and words that are simple. Generally speaking, you need to very very very carefully find the words that are appropriate. Needless to say, making use of jargon is unsatisfactory (if perhaps it is all about the chance skillfully, but avoid also it).
a essential part of the type of work is the politeness for the writers in terms of opponents. Avoid any individual assaults on other scientists. Excitement and radicalism, along with intolerance of dissent (often they call it an obsession that is scientific resulted in reality that the writers start to compose a medical text in a polemic that is useless newsprint design. | 2019-04-25T09:47:51 | https://www.texaslungcenter.com/composing-a-systematic-article-its-features-and-8/ |
Your child will be going home with a removable cast (sometimes referred to as a splint). A cast helps your child’s body heal by holding injured bones or joints in place. A damaged cast can keep the injury from healing well. Take good care of your child’s cast. If the cast becomes damaged, it may need to be replaced. Here's what you need to know about home care.
Make sure your child wears the removable cast according to the healthcare provider's instructions.
Clean the removable cast with soap and lukewarm water and scrub it with a small brush.
Keep the removable cast away from open flames.
Don’t expose the removable cast to heat, space heaters, or prolonged sunlight. Excessive heat will cause the removable cast to change shape.
Encourage your child to exercise all the nearby joints not kept still (immobilized) by the cast. If your child has a long leg cast, help him or her to exercise the hip joint and toes. If your child has an arm cast or splint, encourage exercise of the shoulder, elbow, thumb, and fingers. Your child should not walk until getting your healthcare provider's approval.
Raise the part of the body that is in the cast above heart level. This helps reduce swelling.
Your child may return to school, but activities such as sports should be cleared by your child's healthcare provider first.

One of Ottawa’s jewels is gaining a new life.
Rob Boyer, Narthex partner and entrepreneur, said the architecture of the old building swept him away.
Loyd Builders Inc., 2126 S. Elm St., Ottawa, was selected to lead the rebirth of the post office. Boyer said it was a natural fit for Loyd Builders to be the lead contractor for the project.
Walker, the owner of the company, said the project is special to him and Ottawa.
The renovations are expected to start in November and be completed by May 2018, Boyer said. The plans for the new space include a 4,000-square-foot, luxury ballroom that can accommodate up to 300 guests, a 1930s Speakeasy style bar and lounge, and suites for a bride and groom.
Fernanda Paiva, a Narthex partner, said they did not want to interfere with the building’s character in the renovation.
Paiva said the building again will be a center piece for Ottawa.
“When we first saw the vacant post office, we saw the potential of what it could become for Ottawa and the community,” she said. “Ottawa is a quaint town with a lot of charm.
Boyer said the original construction of the building had a lot of forethought.
Boyer said an events center was the perfect setting to not disturb its pristine architecture.
The new design will have four major rooms: a ballroom, speakeasy lounge, bride’s room and groom’s space. Narthex hired Clockwork, a Kansas City design company, to design the rooms.
The lounge downstairs will have some flair. The website said the room will have a certain ambience.
The bride’s room will be a place for the women in the wedding to prepare before the ceremony, the site said.
The description said: “The state-of-the-art space is both elegant and highly functional. Amenities include a three-way full-length floor mirror; lighted vanity with styling chairs for hair and make-up; modern, yet comfortable furniture; chandelier and private restroom. Best of all, there is a live-streaming television, allowing the bride and her party to view the ballroom and arriving guests.
“The groom’s room is where the men can relax before the big event. It was described as a place where the groom and his attendants can get ready in style. First-class accommodations include a cable TV, leather couch and comfy chairs, allowing them to relax together before the big hour arrives,” the site said.
“We decided it would be great to have a venue that you could do the [wedding] ceremony, reception and cocktail hour in one building,” Paiva said.
Walker said the anticipation and excitement of the restoration project cannot be measured. | 2019-04-23T00:11:51 | http://www.ottawaherald.com/news/20171028/new-owner-pumps-life-into-old-post-office |
Here's everything you need to know about VS Code.
Unsurprisingly, VS Code can do Java as well, and many Java champions and speakers have chosen it for their on-stage appearances and live demos.
Here's the ultimate guide of 2019 for Java developers to use Visual Studio Code to develop, run, debug, and deploy their applications.
If you haven't already downloaded Visual Studio Code, install it now. The rest of this guide will assume you have at least Java 8 installed, though it works with Java 11, too. You can also skip this guide completely and simply go to the documentation page for Java in Visual Studio Code. But check this guide below for a laser-focused walkthrough in getting the most out of VS Code for Java development.
There is a set of extensions that are the minimum requirement to get core Java support in VS Code. Let's dig into each of them.
This extension pack bundles the five extensions below explained in detail, and it will help you get started without digging too much.
This is the one and the only extension you are required to install to have Java support. All other extensions are complementary but do consider them based on the types of projects you'll be working on.
Once you install language support, you can read and edit Java source code. Start by creating a HelloWorld.java file and open on VS Code (or create the file within and then save in some folder).
Once done, you can open the terminal — on Mac OS, type ⌘+` — and then type javac HelloWorld.java to compile the file.
This will generate a HelloWorld.class file. Run it with java HelloWorld.
The Language Support for Java extension brings Java support through the use of the Eclipse Language Server Protocol. Learn more about Eclipse LSP.
This extension adds many other capabilities that will help you navigate, write, refactor, and read Java source code quickly enough that you may as well ditch an IDE in favor of a lightweight text editor.
Check the overview page for a complete list of its features and refactoring shortcuts.
Once you get the basics of writing and reading Java code on Visual Studio Code, the next step is for sure running and debugging. This extension provides exactly that. It will use the default JAVA_HOME on your computer, but this can be customized of course.
It has all the capabilities of a normal Java IDE debugging feature, and it allows greater customization and control over how things are executed and how the debugger is connected to the JVM. It works with remote JVMs as well.
Once this extension is installed, you will notice two hyperlinks above the main method, like in the picture above. You can click Run, and the code will be compiled and executed. You can also set a breakpoint and hit Debug.
For remote debugging, you will need to add a new configuration. Go to the Debug view (Shift+⌘+D on Mac) and hit the gear ⚙ config️ button. This will open the launch.jsonfile. Click on the Add configuration blue button you see on the screen. That should open a pop-up menu like the one below.
Now, you can customize a launch that can plug to a remote JVM. Just provide all the details like hostname and port number.
As any debugging IDE, you can scope variables, stack trace, and even make changes to variables content during execution time.
And that completes the basic setup of Visual Studio Code for reading, writing, running, and debugging Java.
This extension will give you two core capabilities. The main one is the concept of a "Project" that you can use to manually add libraries (JARs) to it. The second one is that it allows you to visualize the classpath your project is currently set for, even if it is a Maven project (see Maven for Java extension next).
This will ask you for a location where the project will be created. A project consists of a folder with the same name as the project name (it will be the next question from the command pallet once you select a location, for example, myworkspace).
Once the project is created, VS Code will open this new folder on a new window.
As you can see, the project has a basic structure with bin and src folders. Inside src, you will find a basic Java class to get started. If you are an experienced Java developer, you will quickly figure out that this extension utilizes the Eclipse project format, simply because it works well with the Eclipse Language Server Protocol and the other extensions.
You can add libraries by editing the .classpath file with custom entries of JARs that may be placed anywhere, for example, a lib folder. The extensions will automatically load those libraries in the classpath and you should be able to run your code.
Editing .classpath to add extra libraries.
Maven is the most widely used project build and dependency management tool in the Java ecosystem. So, this extension finally gets you to a point where you can work on pretty much any Java project, of any kind, through Visual Studio Code.
You will be able to generate and bootstrap Maven projects through Maven archetypes (skeletons), manage dependencies and trigger Maven goals, and edit the pom.xml file with some smart code completion.
Open the command pallet again, and type Maven.
Select Generate from Maven Archetype.
The extension will ask for a destination folder, where the project folder will be generated. It will bring you to the terminal where you will have to input parameters to the Maven command-line, but don't worry as it will be guided.
Once the project is created, right from the terminal, call code <folder name>.
Run with the Run hyperlink inside the App class next to the main method, as we learned earlier.
If you use the Debugger for Java extension (Run | Debug) triggers, the extension will use the classpath generated by Maven, to ensure all dependencies are properly added to the classpath.
To run with Maven though, you can either use the Terminal, as usual, or open the Command Pallet and type Maven Execute Commands.
It will ask you to select a project. Since you have only one, hit Enter on it. Next, what you will see is a list of all the default core Maven goals. Hit package to generate the JAR file.
Once you edit your pom.xml file to add dependencies, VS Code will automatically reload the classpath, and you should be able to import classes and packages from your new dependencies. Clean and smooth.
The final step is to enhance how you run, debug, and visualize the results of your unit tests. This extension adds hyperlinks to unit tests (supports JUnit and TestNG) that can be executed individually, and you can see reports right away inside Visual Studio Code, like in the example below.
This extension will also enable the Test Explorer view, so you can focus on the unit tests of your code and write software in a more TDD style.
This extension currently works only with Maven projects, so make sure you have the Maven for Java extension installed as well.
If you are now feeling comfortable with using VS Code for Java, it's time to ramp up your usage. Below is a list of some extensions that will enhance your experience on your day-to-day job.
This is just a hint on which extensions to add next, and not a de facto list, but can get you far ahead.
Hopefully, you are using Git already, whether through GitHub or any other service or environment. This extension will give you insights on authorship right into the source code, such as 'who added this method and when'.
This is how a Java class will look like once you have GitLens installed. Observe the lines that do not have numbers. Those are notes on commit history. You can also simply hover the mouse on a specific line and it will show when that was added, by whom, and on which commit hash.
If you are a developer building REST APIs, this is a must-have extension on your Visual Studio Code environment. With it, you will be able to edit .http files that contain HTTP calls. The editor will provide quick code snippets and templates, and it gives you magic hyperlinks within that once clicked, it triggers the HTTP call and opens the result right next to it. Here's a quick look.
This is it! You now have a Visual Studio Code setup that is complete enough to any sort of real-world Java development.
Let me know if you have further questions or ideas for a future post on VS Code for Java.
Comment down below or hit me on Twitter: @brunoborges.
To wrap this up, if you are an avid Spring developer, you will surely like to know that there are key extensions provided by Pivotal and Microsoft that will give you enhanced development experience for Spring Boot applications.
And finally, there is one Gradle extension that helps you write build.gradle files. | 2019-04-20T06:47:14 | https://dzone.com/articles/visual-studio-code-for-java-the-ultimate-guide-201 |

1.what colour is tallys hair when she is a pretty ?
2. how can the middle pretties still have kids when they have undergone such drastic surgery - every essence of their physical self has changed?
3. Why are the ugilys and pretties kept away from home when they finish being littlies ?
1. I always figured pretty Tally had the same hair color as ugly Tally, just less frizzy. I guess it would have made sense to change it, though; they do change so many other things.
3. Well, the pretties aren't actually kept away from home. That was adressed in the books; they're allowed to visit their family and they just don't. Because they're bubbleheads, probably. And my guess with the Uglies is that once they're old enough that they don't absolutely need their parents to be all parental, they're seperated so they won't run into pretties that they knew as uglies and realize that something's up. That's a really interesting question, though.
1. In the manga, Tally has blond hair as a pretty. I don't think it's mentioned in the books. The Uglies series has very little specific descriptions about attributes like hair color, even though it is all about appearance.
2. Their genetic code and reproductive systems remain intact. The way pregnancies work in Tally's world is never covered in-depth (I think), so babies could be artificially conceived.
3. It's just a different stage of their life. They aren't kept away from home; rather, their home changes. They are allowed to visit their parents though, like Pan said. The separation of littlies/uglies/pretties allows for the kind of hive-mind thinking that allows the Pretty regime to exist. If they were all allowed to mix and mingle, then uglies would start to suspect, and pretties would be exposed to ugly ideas, which would defeat the point of the system.
1. I think she should have red hair. That would definitely pretty.

In the 3K team race at the 1924 Olympics he placed third indivudally with a new UK record and led the British team to the silver medals. He closed the season by representing the British Empire vs. USA in the 4ÃMile relay. Bert Macdonald spent most of his working life with the Cadbury Chocolate Firm.

The answer to this question lies in the responder’s perception as to how many people have died.
Dubbed the “Highway of Death,” the scenes of devastation became one of the most recognizable images of that war. Viewing film footage of the convoy’s destruction, President George H. W. Bush perceived “too many people have died” and ordered an immediate end to hostilities.
With the convoy still smoldering two days later, the author was among those surveying the carnage. Few human remains were visible. Appearances had proved deceiving — while the total devastation suggested thousands died in the onslaught, few actually perished as most had abandoned their vehicles, escaping on foot.
But a “kinder and gentler” president, who well understood the ravages of war from his own World War II service, sought to end the killing — even though those being killed had brutalized innocent Kuwaiti citizens.
Twenty years after the first Persian Gulf war, we see a dictator, Bashar Assad, ruthlessly torturing, mutilating and killing Syrian citizens who for months have demonstrated peacefully against his brutal rule.
Not only has he ordered his security and military forces to so act, he has allowed his equally brutal ally, Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, to dispatch covert units into Syria in an effort to intimidate demonstrators as well.
No Syrian is safe, not even those seeking quietly to bury their dead, as a group of funeral mourners recently learned.
Within 24 hours after Pillay’s report, 40 more civilians lay dead at the hands of Assad’s army of executioners.
Despite threats of actions by the Arab League and pressure by the West, Assad continues to paint the city streets red with the blood of the innocent.
That flow of blood may soon increase. Pillay also reported Assad’s army will be on the march to strike at the heart of the unrest in the city of Homs.
Assad recognizes that time is a factor in cutting out the heart of the opposition. The international community has been slow to take action; therefore, he must strike to wipe the opposition out before that community decides enough is enough, organizing and embarking upon a more aggressive policy.
Well aware of the fate that has befallen other recently toppled tyrants in the region, Assad knows losing his fight isn’t an option.
The question must now be put to U.S. President Barak Obama whether “too many people have died” in Syria for the United States not to take a more aggressive stand against Assad before he unleashes his military to increase the opposition’s body count.
A U.S. president’s perception will once again determine what step the United States takes next.
Obama’s perception, perhaps more strongly than ever before, is Assad will fall. Even the Israelis, who initially believed it wouldn’t likely happen, now say the collapse of Assad’s dictatorship is imminent.
But it may well take many more months for the collapse to occur — giving Assad additional time to pursue a resolution along the lines his father did almost three decades earlier.
Meanwhile, we can expect Obama, once again, to adopt a laissez faire attitude on Syria — content to allow events play out there while he does nothing — thus clearing the way for Assad to murder thousands more innocent civilians.
Obama’s inaction ignores Assad’s family history. It was Assad’s father, Hafez, who in 1982 razed the town of Hama, murdering thousands of Sunnis opposing his regime. It is estimated in one weekend, he slaughtered at least 10,000 countrymen — claiming another 20,000 to 30,000 lives in the ensuing weeks.
While the son’s rate of slaughter is slower, there is nothing to stop him from picking up the pace in a similarly brutal sweep.
With the cloud of the executions of Saddam Hussein and Moammar Gadhafi looming overhead, Bashar undoubtedly sees his fate is either to kill or be killed. His death throe will take with him as many fellow citizens as possible.
Assad the father’s massacre at Hama — described as one of “the single deadliest acts by any Arab government against its own people in the modern Middle East” — may well pale in comparison to what Assad the son has in mind. | 2019-04-21T04:06:43 | http://www.jamesgzumwalt.com/obama-on-syria/ |

Mergers and Acquisitions are terms that are generally used synonymously but there is actually a difference between them. The legal effects of a merger can be different than the general business definition of a merger. Depending upon the specifics of what a company or business is trying to accomplish the company can create a triangular merger, a statutory merger, a corporate acquisition or any number of similar but in some ways different mechanisms.
An acquisition is the term for when one company takes over another company as the new owner. Legally in an acquisition the target company still exists as an independent legal entity. This entity is controlled by the acquirer.
Even though it might seem like a trivial or theoretical difference there can be huge and dramatic consequences that might not be able to be undone. Doing the merger or acquisition correctly can prevent a “piercing of the corporate veil” or can render it meaningless, depending upon the specific facts and details of the deal and businesses involved. It is also important to make sure that everything is in order to avoid an accusation that there is or was a violation of a fiduciary duty.
Unlike a pure acquisition, a merger occurs when two companies sign a contract to become a single new company rather than be separately owned and operated. In mergers the companies are typically the same size. New stock is issued in the name of the new company and all old stock is exchanged for the new stock and becomes worthless.
Mergers of equals are relatively rare. More commonly, one company will buy another company and allow the purchased firm to give the public impression that there is a merger occurring. The phrase “being bought out” is generally regarded as a negative and a corporate failure. Daimler Benz A.G.’s “merger” with Chrysler Corporation is a typical example of a large company purchasing a smaller one and calling it a “merger” to allow the smaller company an opportunity to save face.
Generally speaking, when a purchase is accomplished through friendly negotiation the corporate officers and directors will call it a merger. When a purchase is done through less agreeable means, such as a hostile takeover, the term acquisition will generally be used. The term that is actually used does not generally have an effect upon the legal consequences and it is important to make sure that there are no adverse legal consequences to the method of merger or acquisition that is used. | 2019-04-20T08:32:14 | https://www.stephenfosterlaw.com/business/mergers-and-acquisitions/ |

Every March, time is allotted in the American school system to discuss women’s impact on history. For roughly 30 days, the sidebars in text books become the main event.
As children learn about women fighting for the right to vote or participate in sports, it’s worth noting the observance of Women’s History Month itself was a struggle.
The battle for the calendar began in 1978. Initially only seven days of remembrance, “Women’s History Week” hovered over the already established International Women’s Day—a worldwide holiday that celebrated its 100th anniversary this year.
The United States was content with just a week of women’s history for nearly a decade. And then it became an issue.
If women are half the population, they should be half of everything else. Yet women are underrepresented in government, underpaid at work, and under appreciated in the past.
Why does history matter? When little girls learn that women didn’t do as much to make this country great, they internalize they can’t do as much in the future.
With centuries worth of women’s contributions overlooked or erased, one month of relevance hardly seems sufficient. Luckily, there are several agents working to preserve women’s history all year long.
The National Women’s Studies Association is “leading the field in educational and social transformation.” The importance of Women’s Studies and the academic understanding of gender are incalculable. Unfortunately, these topics are reserved for classrooms in university settings—as are resources devoted entirely to women’s history.
The Feminist Press, set up at the City University of New York, is helping to make women’s history visible. Dedicated to “rescuing lost works” and publishing “exciting writing by women and men who share an activist spirit and a belief in choice and equality,” this publisher seeks out what’s been forgotten. If you’ve read The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, thank the Feminist Press.
But what about something more tangible for the public?
The Smithsonian affiliate resides in Texas, while the Smithsonian Institute is located in Washington D.C. Another organization is attempting to build the first-ever women’s history museum in the nation’s capital, but the project has been stationary for years while Congress keeps the bill on hold.
This year’s theme for Women’s History Month is “our history is our strength,” which brings me to my final thought. When teachers incorporate women into the curriculum, they always turn to the usual suspects.
But women’s history is not just Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton. Looking back, suffragettes like Alice Paul sealed the deal with more radical tactics.
And it’s more than Amelia Earhart or Helen Keller. While each of their life’s work was incredible, they continue to overshadow Emma Goldman, Dolores Huerta, and all the women who fearlessly fought for workers rights.
It’s more than Gloria Steinem, but Dorothy Pitman Hughes, Margaret Sloan, Flo Kennedy and all the women who shared a vision of a more egalitarian lifestyle.
The road to social, political and economic equality was paved by Betty Friedan and the National Organization for Women (NOW) as well as Rita Mae Brown and the Lavender Menace.
And women’s accomplishments aren’t just Sandra Day O’Connor and all the women who came first, but Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Sonja Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, and all the women who came after.
First, learn about a nontraditional figure in women’s history. Find someone other than a white, able-bodied, heterosexual, well-known icon to add to the conversation. Act as their publicist. Tell everyone.
And second, realize you have the potential to make history yourself. So do it.
If interested, please contact me on sophia@tpostmag.com and we can discuss further details! | 2019-04-24T22:22:14 | http://sluttyfeminist.blogspot.com/2011/03/making-history.html |

Gone Gaming: San Juan? - No Thanks!
I had the pleasure of spending a good portion of the past week, hanging out with old college buddies in sunny Puerto Rico. Not one to miss a gaming opportunity, I brought along a few games to show off.
San Juan – How could I pass this one up? Puerto Rico is too big to bring on a plane, and would have been a bit much to spring on my non-gaming friends.
No Thanks – This is my go-to game for non-gamers, its small size makes it nice and portable.
Bang! - I brought Bang! and its expansion, Dodge City as I thought the theme would work well with our group of five.
In the end, No Thanks was the big winner, being played at least seven or more times, stirring up much discussion. We got in one play of San Juan which went over “OK”, and Bang! never made it to the table.
I’ll start with San Juan, as I have less to say about it. While I find it a fun little game, I think it doesn’t do the great game of Puerto Rico justice. There is still a significant luck of the draw on how the cards are distributed. While an experienced player can sometimes overcome it, it is harder for newer players to know how to compensate. For example, I had no production buildings in hand, even after choosing the councilor phase twice (well the second time I got a second indigo plant). However, I did manage to get the aqueduct and market stall early in the game so was able to eventually sell both indigo plants on a regular basis. I find the aqueduct and market cards to be far too powerful. Players that get both, can always earn two good and sell them both, without having to even choose either role. This adds up over the course of the game, making it difficult for any player who does not have one. This is probably mitigated in a two player game, as more cards are available, but in a four player game one player is guaranteed to not have each card. In our game, I started behind due to a lack of production buildings but was able to catch up in the late game. One of the biggest surprises of the game for me was that the only other gamer present often hit minor bouts of analysis paralysis. I think it may have been BECAUSE he had played Puerto Rico before, and he was reading more into San Juan than was actually there. I realized after I had won, I perhaps should have tried to play so as to give someone else the win (and increase the chance it would be played again) but I rarely see these guys so it probably doesn’t matter in the long run.
No Thanks!, however, was fairly successful. After a minor amount of foot-dragging everyone started playing and caught on quick. It is always interesting to watch people learn the game and develop strategies for playing. As all these players were college chums, they are very smart (I went to a nerd college) and were quickly analyzing the relevant aspects of the game to try to develop a winning strategy.
With everyone playing in such an efficient manner, I was once again struck by the elegance of the game mechanics. Sure, there is a huge amount of luck involved due to the 9 cards removed from the game, but there are also some very nice balancing mechanics to prevent one player’s strategy from dominating. One good strategy is to take a reasonably high card early, and then hope for more to come up in the sequence, sending them around each time they appear to glean even more chips from one’s opponents. However, this strategy is self-limiting as players will eventually run out of chips – you can’t milk a dry cow. This can be even more significant, if players are valuing the chips differently. If you have only a few chips, it may just be worth it to take a fairly high valued card to be back in chip-flush territory again. This can be even more worthwhile if by taking the card you break another player’s sequence. Thus, if there are a few chip-scarce players around, sending a sequence-joining card around the table can be a risky proposition. I even came across a new strategy to consider. While the idea of “not running out of chips” is fairly straightforward, I did observer the power of having a single chip left. If you have no chips, you have to take whatever comes up. Having even a single chip, can mean you cycle a bad card one more time around, making sure that you aren’t forced to take a card several times in a row. While it may be obvious to some, I realized that the difference between one chip and no chips is significant enough to modify some of my choices as I get close to running out of chips. Being the great universal game that it is, No Thanks played an even larger role in our evening relaxations… since it comes with a small baggie of chips we conveniently used them in several games of poker.
Actually, Matt, I don't think San Juan is a very good game to show to non-gamers, even smart ones. There's too many types of cards to have to learn about, not to mention the unusual role selection mechanic. It has a bit of a learning curve, which isn't really what you want in that situation. Great game, but one I usually reserve for those with at least some gaming experience.
Groupthink almost always plays a big part in SJ and your session sounds no different. I think this is the first time I've heard anyone opine that the Aqueduct and Market Stall (actually, from your description, I think you mean the Trading Post) are overpowered--usually that complaint is reserved for other cards. Sounds as if your group was doing a lot of production and trading. Lots of games don't feature that and that makes those cards less valuable. It's a nice combination, but hardly unbeatable in my experience. If someone does have a sweet combo like that, the key is to make them choose the production and trading roles as much as possible.
San Juan does have a reasonable luck factor, of course, but I find that sound play and experience usually win out. That, combined with the fast gameplay, really makes it shine. It isn't Puerto Rico, of course, but that isn't and shouldn't be its goal. I think it's a great member of the Alea line.
No disagreement about No Thanks, though. Just a brilliant design and perhaps the best gateway filler game ever created. It's really neat that such simple rules can lead to interesting gameplay. It always goes over well and works great with a group of non-gamers.
What other cards are considered overpowered? A lot of beginners focus on the Guild Hall, but that's before they figure out how strong the City Hall is. Prefecture is sometimes mentioned, as is Library. I've heard a number of complaints that such-and-such a card unbalances the game.
I actually think the cards are pretty well valued and usually try to work with whatever cards I draw. Probably my favorite combo is an early Carpenter and Quarry, as that gives me a Purple building machine. Even if I can't draw a City Hall, I usually do very well, particularly with Monuments. But there's lots of ways of winning and plenty of strategies that can work. | 2019-04-25T18:33:34 | http://boredgamegeeks.blogspot.com/2007/02/san-juan-no-thanks.html |
Everyone is looking for ways to increase their bench press and pressing power, and it is normally the hardest thing to increase even though there are many different exercises out there for this.
Most people can do with stronger triceps and there are lots of triceps heavy exercises and isolation exercises that can be done, some which work and some don't.
One exercise that I have found to pack on triceps size and power, and has a good carry over to benching and all pressing in general is the close grip floor press (CGFP).
The CGFP is a relatively easy movement to do and is safer than benching if you have no spotters or power rack, because unless you are pretty big you can drop the bar onto the floor and will be able to get out from under it.
You technically don't need a rack at all, but trying to get the bar straight off the floor can be hard and I don't recommend it. The best setup is either a power rack or squat rack in which you can lay down in, where your eye level is looking up at the bar. The bar wants to be high enough so you don't need to unrack it far, but you want to make sure you can unrack and rerack with enough clearance from the pins.
You may have heard of floor press, but the people I see performing it do so incorrectly in my opinion do not get full effect and benefits. I recommend your legs to be completely flat on the floor, this takes any leg drive out of the movement and makes it a pure pressing power move. Do not arch your back as there is no need to decrease the rom (range of motion). Make sure to use a close grip, which for me is so my index finger starts on the knurling. If you do it in this way it should be very similar rom to your full bench when you have an arch and a wider grip.
Push your lats and shoulder blades into the floor before you unrack the bar and proceed to unrack the bar, keeping it at lockout till you feel stable enough, then start descending the bar, make sure that this descent is under control, so when your arms touch the floor you don't lose tightness or cause a shock to move the bar out of the line. I believe the best way to increase effectiveness of the CGFP is to pause the rep when your arms are at the floor, this is because it takes out the flex action in your muscles. The pause does not have to be long, but you want to do it long enough so that you lose any flex energy and so you don't end up bouncing off the floor. Make sure that you keep everything tight while your paused.
When your ready to press make sure to press as fast as you can out the bottom, as most of the power will be coming from your triceps. You may find they tire out quite quickly. Proceed to repeat for X number of reps.
The floor press should be used as a replacement for your heavy bench for at least 4 weeks. I normally do sets of 3. I would not recommend any reps above 5 especially if you plan on doing any other triceps movements in that session.
If your weakness is off the chest in the bench press it may not help much, but if the weakness is when your triceps start kicking in then close grip floor press should help increase your bench, especially if your an equip lifter. Not only like this but it will add good size on your triceps.
Try out the close grip floor press and comment what you think to it and how it goes for you. | 2019-04-18T18:56:23 | http://www.kernowgym.com/2012/08/pure-pressing-power.html |

A gene located on chromosome 19q13.3-q13.4, which encodes Bax, which belongs to the BCL2 family of proteins with which it forms a heterodimer, together acting as anti- or pro-apoptosis regulators, depending on whether Bax or Bcl-2 is greater. BAX expression is regulated by p53, the tumour suppressor, and is involved in p53-mediated apoptosis.
A 21-kD protein encoded by BAX, located on chromosome 19q13.3-q13.4, which has significant homology with Bcl-2, the apoptosis repressor, with which it forms a heterodimer. Overexpression of Bax compared to Bcl-2 signifies apoptosis. | 2019-04-22T15:57:31 | https://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/OTTHUMP00000218293+Bcl2-L-4 |

A pantry with an arched ceiling separates the new kitchen from the main hall with its built-in bench, where Yoda, a Pembroke Welsh Corgi, waits for dinner.
Honesty of construction and simplicity of design, an emphasis on the beauty and power of nature—the basic tenets of the Arts & Crafts movement have a universal appeal. And so it was perfectly natural that when these homeowners found a 1937 brick Tudor perched on a steep Seattle hillside, they didn’t hesitate to imbue it with an Arts & Crafts aesthetic to complement its open layout and timeless design.
The home had had just three previous owners and was remarkably intact. Broad west-facing windows let light flood into the rooms even on the grayest of Pacific Northwest days, with breathtaking views of Puget Sound and spectacular sunsets over the Olympic Mountains beyond. Attractive original details survived, including leaded-glass windows, warm mahogany trim, a handsome Batchelder tile fireplace in the living room, and even the original laundry chute in the upstairs hall. The large lot would allow the homeowners, both avid gardeners, enough room for both sunny Mediterranean and peaceful shade gardens, something they had always yearned for. All the house needed, they thought, would be paint and a few straightforward, cosmetic updates. But, as they would find out after moving in, they were sorely mistaken.
The bathrooms needed updating, and the kitchen needed some TLC: It had charming cabinets, but there was no counter space, and it was dark and cramped, separated from the adjoining light-filled dining room by an oversized china hutch that had to go. The real horror story turned out to be more serious, they discovered during their first winter. The previous owners had installed a hot tub on the rear deck, and in the process had completely blocked all of the exterior drains, causing storm water to back up and flood the basement during every rainstorm. The basement became unusable, contaminated with perpetual mold, mildew, and odor. Plus, windows throughout the house were rotten and so poorly sealed that five-foot jets of rainwater would regularly spray across the living room during gusty winter storms.
Arts & Crafts furniture includes the reissued Stickley oak pedestal table and chairs. In its simplicity, the modern Artemide Logico Suspension triple chandelier is a good fit.
At first the couple thought they could approach the restoration slowly, tackling one room at a time as their budget and schedules allowed. But once they realized the extent of repairs that were needed just to make the house livable, they decided to bite the bullet and restore it all at once. They wanted a place to live within a reasonable amount of time. Happily, they were able to complete the entire project in just under a year.
The water incursion was corrected with French drains; heating and electrical systems were updated. Inside, they started at the top. They gutted the main bath upstairs, putting in a shed dormer to add space for a jetted soaking tub, shower, and double sinks. Heated limestone floors were a wise indulgence. Painted woodwork throughout the house was stripped, refinished, and replaced as needed to match original mahogany trim, and rotted windows were updated with energy-efficient replacements. All of the brickwork was repointed, inside and out. The original Batchelder tiles surrounding the living room fireplace were cleaned, and the firebox got an efficient insert, eliminating smoke. Original fittings were recycled wherever possible; the old kitchen sink and faucets were relocated to the utility room, and the old kitchen cabinets were reused in the laundry room.
The kitchen was bumped out six feet on the right front of the house. overscaled brackets on the island were copied from heavy moldings elsewhere in the house.
Because both homeowners are ardent cooks, they decided to enlarge the kitchen. Leaking French doors were replaced with a period-appropriate but weather-efficient six-light back door, and the overbearing china hutch that blocked the kitchen from the dining room was removed, opening the room to views of Puget Sound. The entire kitchen was extended out six feet across the front of the house, allowing more cabinet and counter space. A box-beam ceiling added more Arts & Crafts sensibility. Craftsman Tudor detailing was repeated on the butcher-block-topped center island, and a short passageway between the foyer and kitchen became a small pantry with floor-to-ceiling cabinets. Here the new arched ceiling repeats the arched openings familiar in many early 20th-century houses, especially Tudor Revivals. The classic black and white color scheme in the kitchen is enlivened by the couple’s collection of colorful serving ware, some of it mid-century.
The front hall opens into the bright living room, where a Stickley oak settle faces the fireplace set with Batchelder tiles. Main rooms are separated by wide arched openings, a common Romantic Revival motif.
The Arts & Crafts appeal continues in carefully selected colors and furnishings. A soft, pleasing palette of C2 Paint’s warm beige Hush, accented by cool white Frostine in the kitchen and almond-colored Frappe in the stairwell, made just the right backdrop for the rich tones of reproduction Stickley oak furniture. The living room has a Prairie settle flanked by a pair of Morris Spindle chairs, while a Mission Round pedestal table sits in the dining room, along with comfortable Cottage leather-back armchairs and side chairs. A handsome Harvey Ellis Mobile Server beneath the windows helps anchor and balance the room, which was enriched with the vibrant pomegranate tones of Firenze on the southern wall.
A combination of sensitive yet modern updates, design tweaks inspired by the Arts & Crafts movement, and appropriate furnishings has given this modest brick Tudor livability with style. | 2019-04-24T14:39:43 | https://www.oldhouseonline.com/house-tours/arts-crafts-update-tudor-bungalow |

Hey everyone, here’s the list I went undefeated with at my Store Championship. I’ll be talking about it on this week’s episode of Jedi Trials.
A few quick notes - even at 25 points this deck feels reall strong, especially against the Snoke decks. I imagine Snoke Cad would be tough but luckily I didn’t play against any. Playing Tenacity on Kylo or Thrawn round 1-2 sets them so far behind.
Infamous was an MVP, money is often plentiful between Maz’s Vault and our Battlefield that dropping this for 1 early isn’t a huge problem and sets up the rest of the game. Infamous > NTMTO won me almost all of my games.
"You can do some cool stuff with it if you have Infamous and RI out, like activate > Darksaber from discard with ambush > trigger RI on playing a card > roll > quadruple focus. But that’s the dream scenario and will never happen in real life :)"
I'm pretty sure that sequence of events is wrong, you can't trigger RI off of Sabine's ability as it's not an action.
Haha well bummer. Never actually did that in a game fwiw. I'll add a step in there to make it work.
Just play truce in there to trigger RI. The classic.
what's the ideal opening hand/round ?
Yeah depends on the matchup, but usually Hidden Blaster (or other 2-cost), Maz's Vault, Truce, Infamous, Easy Pickings, Crosshairs are all good early. Against Snoke I hard mull for Tenacity.
Congrats again, well played. I was the one with the Trawn/Snoke deck. You piloted it well and used your Reversal was timely and killed my momentum at the end.
Do I try this out at my SC this weekend? I definitely have Sabine experience, just not solo Sabine.
It's a fun deck and it was great to watch you play it yesterday. Nice work!
@RonathanPxPx You were a great opponent man, hopefully we get to play some more in the future!
@RebelSpy there's no footage of the event, is there?
First you were a Mill player, and now, you rebroke Sabine. Hmm... I'm sensing a pattern here. Are you ACTUALLY a vegan? Or do you hunt baby seal on the weekend? This deck is brrrrrrrrooooke.
Now with that out of the way, I really hope FFG fix this.
This deck is the ultimate bad play experience. The opponent is a passenger. There's very little that can be done to stop her, even if you build specifically for it.
Extract and Suppressive Fire helps but unless you can action cheat as well as she can't you're going to struggle. Mill and discard only slows her down a little bit since she can play from the discard pile.
I'm keen to hear other people's opinions but she's quickly becoming the Kylo/FN, Poe/Maz, Rey/Han of this set. No player interaction, just chain ambush everything, turn dice and win.
Congrats! In regards to Infamous being the MVP - would you consider swapping out an RI for a second? Does Scavenge never shoot you in the foot at all by discarding clutch 3 cost events? Cheers and well done again!
More OMGHERD anti-Sabine rhetoric. If she was such OP she'd be winning all the tourneys. She doesn't. Doesn't even dominate top 4 cuts. She wasn't dominating and she STILL got nerfbatted.
Good, yes. But there's a lot of good decks.
Lots of props to RebelSpy for finding another way to make her shine.
@Shayde I never said she was winning everything. Thankfully the community generally recognises broken things and doesn't use them much. She struggles against 3 and 4 wide which is another reason she's not dominating every event.
That doesn't mean the deck and the game play are OK. Poor player experience and zero interaction is never good and it's a problem for the game. Her nerf was useless because they gave her a plot that's better than Ezra. You can still pair her with red uniques for leadership.
Poor player experience to you.
It's a poor player experience when you play a mill deck too. But it is there. Even being encouraged.
The game isn't going to be perfect for everyone, but put down the torches and pitchforks and grand generalizations. That makes the game unpleasant for everyone.
I played Cad/Snoke against one of these last night. I got beat - but only by a little. He hit Cad with tenacity in round 1 and 2. This was hardly NPE. It was a chase. To compare, we were playing trilogy as well and I got beat by two other perfectly fair support decks wherein I would have had a more satisfying experience by just scooping and dancing around like a moron for the next 25 minutes.
Why not run more plots? Profitable connections or something might help a bit, and costs nothing from a deck building perspective.
@Jarmo_pYou can only have one plot.
If Sabine gets Infamous and Never Tell Me the Odds it quickly becomes solitaire as you watch your opponent auto godroll their way to victory for the amazingly high cost of one resource with nothing you can do about it!
Mill can be fun because there are ways to fight against it. With Sabine you just hope she doesn’t draw good cards.
That isn’t fun. That’s bad design.
I disagree, @iamahnuld, I had a wonderful time playing against this deck. Granted it was casual, not a tourney, but watching something that shouldn't work WORK was hilarious, and it is fairly beatable, generally three characters do it better, but still. Thrawn - Master Strategist kills this deck, too. Just pick three's every time and you can hand-pick all the good events right out.
You’re right, it’s not unbeatable, @GandalfsHat, It is a tremendously unfun deck to play against that will chase away new players. I’ve learned to play against it but man, it’s just a miserable deck. | 2019-04-24T17:51:14 | http://es.swdestinydb.com/decklist/view/22496/solosabine-1stplace20-personstorechamp-1.0 |

Recent discoveries in the branch of physics known as quantum mechanics have powerful applications in the field of network security - they have the potential to break forms of internet security based on mathematics such as the RSA algorithm, and also present new ways to safely send information. In this article we’ll see how a physics-based method can be used to secure online information.
We saw in the post Cryptography and Number Theory, how centuries-old discoveries in theoretical mathematics turned out to have powerful applications for security for network-based fields such as online commerce and computerized voting. Recent discoveries in the branch of physics known as quantum mechanics also have applications in the field of internet security – they have the potential to break the forms of internet security based on mathematics, and also present new ways to safely send information. In this article we’ll see how a physics-based method can be used to secure online information.
In my post regarding “Cryptography and Number Theory”, we saw how online data is secured using public-key cryptography. When a message is sent between two parties, “Alice” and “Bob” – say, an ATM machine and your bank, or Amazon.com and your bank – it is sent using a public encryption key that can be viewed by anyone intercepting the message, and a private decryption key that is sent separately and is known only to the sender and the target. The security of the system relies on the mathematical difficulty involved in calculating the decryption key, which is necessary for decoding the encoded message: the encrypted message could be broadcast over the evening news, but without the decryption key, it would be nearly impossible for someone to break the encryption and read the message.
So what happens if someone is spying on Alice and Bob and intercepts the private key, and thus are able to crack the code?
This is a major problem with forms of public-key cryptography such as the RSA algorithm: the eavesdropping problem. In order to ensure the security of a message sent using public-key cryptography, it is crucial that an eavesdropper not be allowed to view both the publicly known encrypted message and the private decryption method.
Cryptographers have discovered a way to use results in the branch of theoretical physics known as “quantum mechanics” to securely send a message over a public channel. What’s amazing about this is the fact that it does not rely on mathematical properties for its security – it relies on fundamental properties of the physical world.
To see how “quantum cryptography” works, let’s first explore a bit of the counter-intuitive properties that govern the physical world’s behavior at the subatomic level.
The word “quantum” comes from the Latin for “how much”, and refers to counter-intuitive properties of subatomic particles discovered beginning in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s CE. The field arose out of the study of electromagnetism, where physicists found that electromagnetic waves such as light beams can be described both as waves and as streams of discrete particles, or “quanta”.
It turns out that the universe behaves in apparently contradictory ways when studied at the sub-atomic level. In fact, the physicist Richard Feynman, stated that it is impossible to understand quantum mechanics, due to the paradoxical ways the universe behaves at the subatomic level. Feynman was known for his research and teaching skills: he won the 1965 Nobel Prize in Physics, and was also a devoted teacher whose series of lectures on physics have drawn much acclaim.
Thanks to Bill Gates, these lectures are now available for free on the internet.
So, if we can’t understand quantum mechanics in the way we understand normal, “classical” physics, due to QM’s paradoxical nature, why study it?
While it’s difficult to understand quantum mechanics in the “commonsense” way we can understand classical, everyday physics, given the paradoxical results found at the subatomic level, it is still worthwhile to study, however, both for better understanding of the universe, as well as promising applications the field offers for technology.
Let’s look at a few examples of basic principles of quantum mechanics to get a taste for the paradoxical ways in which the universe behaves at the quantum level. We’ll then see how to use these findings to devise a secure system of quantum cryptography.
One of the fundamental concepts of quantum mechanics suggests that particles like photons have properties of both waves (like radio waves) and particles (like concrete objects). As a photon particle travels, its electric and magnetic fields vary, but are always perpendicular to each other and perpendicular to the direction of the photon’s travel. The direction in which the electromagnetic field varies is known as its “polarization”. It can vary in different ways, including linearly (up and down, like waves in an ocean) and circularly (twisting in a spiral shape around the direction of motion).
Check out this video demonstrating the distinction between these types of polarization.
Photon polarization comes into play in quantum cryptography due to discoveries regarding pairs of subatomic particles that originate from a common point in space-time. This is known as “quantum entanglement”.
Experiments and theoretical developments have shown that it is possible for two subatomic particles to become “entangled” in such a way that, when a given property of one of the particles is observed, the opposite state will then be observed in the second particle, regardless of the distance between the two. For example, when two entangled photons are sent along a channel, and one is observed as having a certain linear polarization (in a specific direction), then the other will be seen to have the opposite polarization. It is not possible to share information in this manner, since the state the electron is observed in cannot be known in advance.
Above is a NASA picture from an experiment involving laser beams composed of entangled photons.
That is spooky, but isn’t this something that only exists in scientific papers and mad scientists’ laboratories?
Not quite, though it is very useful for research and, as we shall see, technology development. Quantum entanglement is a natural phenomenon that occurs when two particles originate at the same point in space and time, for example. The simple act of measurement on one of the particles leads to a measurable difference in the other particle (not matter how far away). Einstein famously described this as “spooky action at a distance”, and was not satisfied with QM due to its paradoxical nature. Around 30 years later, and after Einstein’s death in 1955, the physicist John Bell was able to build a framework in which quantum entanglement makes sense, by using the notion of “non-locality”. Let’s see how he did this.
The set of theoretical and experimental results known collectively as Bell’s Theorem is considered by some among the most profound discoveries of the past century. It suggests that the way the universe behaves at the quantum level is fundamentally different from how it appears to behave at the larger, everyday level studied in classical physics. More specifically, Bell’s Theorem shows that QM is inherently a non-local theory of physics: it implies that, under certain circumstances, taking a measurement on one particle can instantly influence the behavior of another particle, however far away.
I’m still not sure about this. How can simply taking a measurement on a particle effect the behavior of a completely separate particle?
Well as Feynman suggested, no one fully understands why this is so, but Bell’s theorem has been confirmed in laboratory experiments such as the famed ones run by researcher Alain Aspect (which utilized polarized photons), so it’s clear that at subatomic levels, the act of making an observation of a system can actually influence the state of that system. The early quantum physicist Heisenberg suggested that observing or measuring a particle caused photons to impart energy to the particle, leading to influence on its behavior, but a recent study showed that the act of measuring introduces less uncertainty than quantum mechanics models such as Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle require. So physicists don’t have a full explanation for why the universe behaves in such paradoxical ways at the quantum level, but experiments have established that it does in fact operate in the way quantum mechanics describes.
Check out Spooky Action at a Distance for an in-depth discussion of how Bell’s Theorem was established.
Amazingly, we can take advantage of these properties of quantum physics – polarized photons, quantum entanglement, Bell’s Theorem, and the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle – to establish a system of cryptography that is fundamentally more advanced than current mathematics-based cryptography systems. Let’s see how to do this.
We will devise a “quantum channel” consisting of entangled photons that are used to share a key – an encryption and decryption scheme – in such a way that it will become apparent if an eavesdropper is spying on the communication. If an eavesdropper spies on the “quantum channel”, their measurements of the photons will influence the photons’ polarization and thus be detectable. Thus, quantum mechanics can be used to guarantee that the key is sent in secrecy. Once the key is established the encrypted message can be sent over public channels – even announced on the evening news – with guaranteed security. All communication between the sender and receiver is on public channels, but the key is distributed via the private, quantum channel, which enables the detection of eavesdropping.
Artur Eckert, in a 1991 paper, used Bell’s Theorem and quantum entanglement to develop a quantum channel over which a key can be securely shared. In Eckert’s scheme, before attempting to share a message, the sender and receiver use a quantum mechanics-based scheme to develop a key. The sender and receiver – let’s call them Alice and Bob – are sent a pair of entangled photons. They each randomly choose a set of bases through which to measure these particles, and then measure the photons’ polarizations. They announce in public which bases they used to obtain their measurements, and then split their measurements into two groups: (1) those in which they used the same basis of measurement, and (2) those in which they used different bases.
In order to determine whether the quantum key transmission has been intercepted, they examine the results of the measurements they made using differing bases. If the entangled photons have been measured prior to their receipt by Alice and Bob, the interception will be detectable due to the properties of quantum mechanics we’ve seen. So Alice and Bob publicly share the measurements they made using differing bases, and use probabilistic calculations given by Bell’s Theorem to determine whether or not the particles have been observed. The mathematics behind this is a little too in-depth to present in this article, which is primarily about the underlying physics, but if you’re interested, check out Eckert’s 1991 paper).
If Alice and Bob determine that the entangled particles have not been observed by an outside party, then they can be sure that the quantum channel is secure. They can then use the observations they made using the same basis – which, according to the principle of quantum entanglement – to calculate a key by which to encrypt and decrypt their message. The way they do this is to label certain polarizations (such as a linear polarization in the positive x-axis) as “0”, and others (such as a linear polarization at a 45 degree angle from the x-axis) as “1”. They can then turn the measured polarizations into a sequence of 0’s and 1’s. Alice and Bob will each arrive at a sequence of 0’s and 1’s, but since the polarizations they measure using the same basis will be opposite (due to principles of quantum entanglement), their strings of 0’s and 1’s will be exactly the inverse of each other. If one of them obtains the string 011001…, the other will obtain 100110…so one of them simply inverts their string.
To reiterate this, here’s a diagram of Eckert’s quantum key distribution scheme.
In the scheme, pairs of entangled photons are sent to Alice and Bob, who then measure their polarizations using randomly chosen bases. They then share in public the bases they have used, and split them into two groups.
Measurements for which they used the same basis.
Measurements for which they used different bases.
The measurements for which they used different bases are used to determine whether someone has eavesdropped on the quantum key transmission. Recall that if someone makes an observation or measurement of the polarization of the photon, this will effect the measurements Alice and Bob make. They can use Bell’s Theorem to calculate whether someone has eavesdropped by performing statistical tests on the measurements they have made using different bases.
If they determine the quantum key has been sent securely, then they use the measurements for which they used the same basis to form a secret key. According to properties of quantum entanglement, when Alice and Bob use the same basis to measure the polarization of two entangled photons, their measured polarizations will be exactly opposite each other.
Once they have this key, Alice can encrypt her message and send it to Bob over a public channel, secure in the knowledge that no one has observed the way in which they developed their scheme.
We have taken an overview of the basic results of quantum mechanics, the branch of physics that studies the properties of the universe at the subatomic level, and seen how to use this to develop a cryptographic scheme that is secure against eavesdropping. QM has shown that the act of taking a measurement on a particle can effect the behavior of other, “entangled” particles, and we can use this property to find whether an eavesdropper has observed the transmission of a key used for encrypting and decrypting a message.
The security of quantum cryptography is therefore based in properties of physics known in quantum mechanics, rather than any mathematical method of encryption and decryption. As long as quantum mechanics’ description of reality is complete, cryptography will be completely secure.
The main problem with quantum cryptography is the difficulty of actually implementing it. Sending entangled photons over large distances is a significant technological problem to overcome. At the moment, conventional, public-key cryptography schemes such as RSA, whose security relies on mathematics rather than physics, are the most widely used, but in the future, many cryptologists think, these will be easily broken by more advanced computers, and physics-based schemes such as the quantum cryptography schemes are seen as their natural replacement.
The first real-world application of quantum cryptography was in the Swiss election of October 2007. More recently, scientists have discovered a way to use existing broadband cable to carry out the quantum key distribution schemes, overcoming one significant technological challenge for QKD. Companies such as MagiqTech offer concrete quantum key distribution system for researchers who are working to make this kind of encryption practical and feasible in the modern world. | 2019-04-21T16:03:09 | http://www.science4all.org/article/cryptography-and-quantum-physics/ |
As we all know, android is a completely open operating system. It is also free, so when you by an android phone, you do not pay for the operating system.
This, of course is fine!
However, when someone looks for applications in the android market, he hardly finds free and good applications. You are gonna say know, what are you talking about, I have the best applications for free! Ha! You think so.
The concept of a free aplication, is that you can use it as you want and share it! In additions you do not need to see all those silly ads (which unfortunately we have also in the blogspot, but this is something temporary, and a site is completely different from an app!) which you will never intend to click on them, but sometimes you click one by accident.
Furthermore, android maybe is an open source OS but it lost that purpose! Take for example any Linux distribution! Have you ever looked for a professional level application and you didn't find it? Not me.
An operating system is not considered free if basic applications are not free! Why do I have to pay for a good task manager? Even in windows you find a free one! Why do I have to pay for password managers, talking simulators and stuff? Most applications that are not free have a poor level, and they have been programmed by stupid programmers!
Android has is based on a linux core. In linux I can find a good anti-virus and a firewall for free.
All developers have the right to sell their work! It's ok with me if the application is indeed a worth one! I would pay for a good game or a really good anti-virus! (I was paying for anti-virus for years)! But searching in the android market I have found only a couple of applications that worth money.
In conclusion Android Market is now a mess! For example compare Ubuntu software center with android market!
Where did the linux spirit go? Where did open source power go? Basic applications have to be free! And free means also free of ads! | 2019-04-26T08:28:16 | https://blog.vaslabs.org/2011/03/android-market-and-open-software.html |

Bella Thorne is red hot.
The “Midnight Sun” actress, 21, attended the Moxy Chelsea opening on Tuesday night wearing the fiery shade from head to toe. Not only did she sport a silky scarlet shirt with matching pants by John Paul Ataker ($980), but she also opted for a cherry-colored wig, manicure and pedicure.
The color scheme seemed to be inspired by Thorne’s forthcoming book, “The Life of a Wannabe Mogul,” which has a bright red cover and never left her hands throughout the evening.
Celebrities toting books has become somewhat of a trend lately; first, Jennifer Lawrence duped bibliophiles with an Olympia Le Tan purse designed after a poetry book, then Bella and Gigi Hadid were snapped carrying around their current reads.
Thorne danced enthusiastically with the book while her sister, Dani Thorne, played DJ wearing a lavender tank top and green glittery shorts. Bella also promoted her Thorne by Bella makeup line at the event, and announced that hotel guests can experience an ASMR bedtime video featuring the sisters starting April 15.
Other party attendees included Sports Illustrated model Nina Agdal, singer Caroline Vreeland and famed drag queen Lady Bunny. Celebrity tattoo artist JonBoy was also on on hand, offering on-site tattoos to attendees. | 2019-04-19T10:24:47 | https://pagesix.com/2019/04/10/bella-thorne-dresses-to-match-her-new-book/ |
The first time i heard about Loney, Dear was three years ago. Back then Emil Svanängen made music on his own in the woods outside of Jönköping, with a wish to live off his music. Today he does :) When i ordered the home made CDs on his website i didn't know what to expect and i was greatly surprised. It was so beautiful! So much genuine despair and suffering in his songs i couldn't help to fall in love with his music.
Emils own journey took him out of the woods of Jönköping to Stockholm and then out into the world. With four albums recorded on his own in the trunk, he took his friends/band with him on the road and they now create magic on stages in both Europe and the US. Last year he was picked up by famous indie label Sub Pop who re-released the album from 2005, Loney, Noir.
First time i saw them live here in Gothenburg was in the autumn of 2005 and it was magic, i still remember it as one of the best live acts i ever seen. It was a night filled with so much love between the audience and the band that it vibrated. Emil with his eyes closed on the stage, meaning every word that comes out from his mouth. I agree with one of the quotes from Emils website: "Despair has never sounded so sweet."

Don’t you want to know the answer to this immensely prominent question? In case, you are unaware of the benefits of business valuation, know that determining the worth of your business will make sure you don't price it too high or too low. Getting a valuation will provide you with a detailed explanation of your business's worth and the documents will serve as a measure for your listing price and also bring credibility to the asking price.
Now that you have established your strong presence in the market after overcoming ‘n’ number of challenges, why are you making a spur-of-the-moment decision of selling your business? Understand that you need to be really sure of your decision because it would be irrevocable. Whether you are facing some financial problem or finding it hard to comply with government regulations, make it a point to be certain about your reason. This is because without the perfect reason, you won’t be able to take the perfect next-step. | 2019-04-20T02:14:43 | https://tampabusinessbroker.com/blog/page/4/ |
The Sage had a deep mistrust of newspaper men. Rumour had it that he had even refused to watch the Pathe newsreel of Yeovil’s victory over Sunderland at the Gaumont, on account of the fact that the flea pit had once shown Citizen Kane. I never got to the bottom of it but it was something to do with the Western Gazette and a falling out over the spelling of his name for the runner up spot in the Yeovil and District Chrysanthemum competition.
The article implied the Sage was a bit of a misery and whilst I admit he was drawn to the darker side of football philosophy, I feel a duty to put the record straight. Underneath the frustration, there was a green and white heart of hope. So last night, I padded out to the back shed and found a programme that has lain buried in the depths of the old cardboard box. The programme for a match that even now makes my fingers tremble as I type these words – Stafford Rangers, 1972, the Semi-Final of the F. A. Trophy. The last time we saw the gates of Wembley, only for them to be slammed shut in our faces.
The world was in turmoil, tears cut down my face, as I raced past the onions and smashed through the chrysanthemums. I kicked the shed door open. The Sage looked up from his seed trays.
I pulled the wooden draw open, took out the box and opened it. There they were my Yeovil Town subbuteo team. Tiny plastic figures lovingly painted in thick globs of green and white airfix paint. I looked at them. A tear dropped on Len Harris. I picked him up and hurled him into the carrot patch. Ron Bayliss followed, Chris Weller careered off towards the potatoes and Tony Clarke (who I doubted was now ‘for England’) hit the parsnips. The Sage watched silently puffing on his pipe, as one by one the team was scattered across the Pen Mill allotment.
Now there was only one left.
I picked up Johnny Clancy.
‘Johnny Clancy going to?’ said the Sage, placing his pipe on the fruit box.
‘Not Johnny Clancy,’ he pleaded.
He covered the seed with a rich clump John Innis Number 1.
He poured water across the dark earth from an old tin can.
He patted the soil gently.
For the first time in a couple of days I smiled at the ridiculous thought.
I stared at Johnny Clancy.
I shook my head. I put Johnny Clancy carefully back in the box.

On the first Thursday of every month, Seattleites flock to the streets of Pioneer Square for the city's central and oldest art walk, which offers opportunities to stroll, sip on wine, and attend as many gallery openings as possible. But, in most cases, the shows are up for longer than just one night, and the historic neighborhood is a great place to check out art any day of the year. So, below, we've compiled the most promising exhibits that are having opening receptions on April 4—complete with a Google map at the bottom. You can also find more options on our First Thursday calendar, including one-night affairs like Alexis L. Silva's Much of Nothing. For art in other neighborhoods, check out our complete visual art calendar.
Don't undervalue insects! There are 91,000 species in the US alone, says artist Amber Chiozza, and their diversity benefits nature. Many species, like wasps and ants, achieve awe-inspiring feats of architecture. Chiozza's prints, books, and drawings elaborate on these stunning structures and their makers.
These gorgeous iridescent abstracts, resembling unearthly landscapes, are actually extreme macroscopic panoramic photographs of 30-microns-thick slices of meteorites. That's right, rocks from space! They're the result of a collaboration between UW geochemist and meteoricist Dr. Tony Irving and nerdy photographer Neil Buckland. Don't miss your chance to gaze on these miniature natural masterpieces.
Waterston has had exhibitions at the Smithsonian Institution’s Freer/Sackler Galleries, the Cantor Arts Center at Stanford, and the Contemporary Museum in Honolulu. His mixed-media paintings are "elemental" in the sense that they abstractly evoke spirits and natural forces.
Friedlander crafts natural-dyed silk wall hangings on which she stitches designs that somehow seem purposeful, elaborate, and childlike all at the same time. These are shown alongside mixed media works and Donald Cole's tiny mountains, painted with sumi ink on matchboxes.
Now 97 years old, Hansen has been making deceptively naive, neo-expressionist art for decades. At first glance, they may seem crudely childlike, yet they play with unstable compositions, complex lines, and deliciously earthy colors. Keep an eye out for his longtime alter ego, Kernal Bentleg.
As the title might suggest, these sculptures by Ruffner (whom former Stranger art critic Jen Graves called "the most irrepressible spirit in Seattle art") combine animal and plant forms.
Castle was born deaf in 1899 and was not truly recognized for his talents until the 1950s. As a young artist, he worked with soot, spit, and homemade implements.
Artist and former City Arts section editor Amanda Manitach curates this "salon-style" exhibition by CoCA members, which continues the gallery's focus on women artists and women's issues.
This group show explores the tactility of the artistic process, featuring fabric-based works by Mary Ann Peters, quilted paper works by Claire Cowie, deconstructed linen objects by Brad Winchester, and a photograph by Vik Muniz. James Harris Gallery adds, "The act of threading a needle is mundane and requires great concentration and effort. It is also a small step in starting a larger project, which will eventually end in unity of one or more pieces. In their creation, these works transform the ordinary into beautiful, informative, and poignant objects that comment on social, political and conceptual issues." | 2019-04-19T04:49:40 | https://www.thestranger.com/things-to-do/2019/04/03/39805616/the-top-17-pioneer-square-art-shows-to-check-out-in-april-2019 |

About 3.5 billion years ago, the ocean gave rise to the first life on earth. Today, our planet’s oceans are home to an amazing diversity of life in a wide range of habitats from tropical coral reefs to the frigid polar seas.
The Irma and Paul Milstein Family Hall of Ocean Life highlights the dramatic and complex web of life beneath the waves in an immersive gallery watched over by one of the American Museum of Natural History’s most iconic exhibits: a ninety-four-foot-long, twenty-one-thousand-pound model of a blue whale. Habitat dioramas in this grand hall provide portraits of marine species, while exhibits on the mezzanine showcase a variety of ocean habitats, including scenes from the ancient seas.
Many parts of the modern ocean are still poorly known, and less than 5 percent of the deep ocean has been explored. It’s hard to comprehend how something as huge and mysterious as the ocean can be fragile, but the threats are real. Some marine species are being driven to the edge of extinction by overfishing, while global climate change, development, and pollution threaten delicate ocean ecosystems. Understanding the ocean and its inhabitants is key to safeguarding the future. | 2019-04-18T19:02:13 | https://www.pomegranate.com/cb186.html |

A little more time spent finding a good real estate agent can mean a lot less headache in the future.
Real estate information abounds over the internet, making first-time homeowners as informed as they can be when it comes to buying or selling their property. However, this does not mean you should adopt a laid-back attitude when it comes to choosing a good real estate agent to handle your property.
A good real estate agent can help you pick the house of your dreams or sell your existing home quickly and at a really good price. On the other hand, the wrong agent can make any transaction a disaster, leaving you with more problems than you can shake a stick at and worse, nowhere to call home.
Despite the high stakes involved in buying or selling a property, many would-be and existing homeowners give little thought to choosing a good real estate agent. They get dazzled by great presentations and are unafraid to ask questions that could make or break the deal. Similar to dating, if the relationship is not built on trust and intimacy, it probably will just spell trouble.
He/she regularly follows what happens in the market. A good agent will always be ready to accompany you to the house you want to buy or will always be ready to show your home to prospective buyers.
His/her expertise about the neighborhood is crucial for giving you the information you need about the actual price value of the house you want to move in with. A good agent who specializes in a particular location is also confident enough to give a competitive price range for the potential buyer of your property.
Commissions among real estate agents range between 5 and 7 percent. This does not mean that you cannot negotiate for a lower commission, if you really intend to buy the house. On the other hand, if you charge low for the property you want to sell, fewer agents will be interested in dealing with you. You have to weigh what is reasonable and what isn’t so you end up getting exactly what you want.
A good agent has his/her face in online listings because he/she has paid to be there. Though they might not be the best choice around but it still shows effort on their part to be recognized for their expertise on the field. Nevertheless, you should interview him/her first to know if he/she is the right agent for you.
A good agent doesn’t pretend he/she sells condos or townhomes or any kind of property for that matter, if he/she rarely does so. For example, you need to find an agent who traditionally works with investors if you’re after investment properties. Though agents specialize in many types of properties, make sure you look for someone who is well-versed in the specific type of property you need.
A good agent will tell you straightforward about whether he/she usually deals with sellers and buyers in your particular area and price range. Knowledge of these two factors will determine the kind of attention and care you will get from them if you’re planning to buy either an entry-level home or selling a $10 million investment property.
A good agent is someone who can always keep up with the details of the transaction. His/her main goal is to ensure that you will get what you want – close the deal. He/she is capable of making accurate appraisal and can provide quick and practical resolutions to home inspection issues that would arise, among many other concerns. This works both ways whether you’re buying or selling a house. | 2019-04-25T06:57:38 | https://www.realtynow.com/sell-home/tips-for-choosing-a-good-real-estate-agent |

Macclesfield Senior Colts travelled to Paton Field to take on Caldy in the first round of the Raging Bull Colts League Cup. Despite being two leagues below their opponents, the Blues gave Caldy an early scare, spending long periods in their twenty two, coming away with two Ollie Aston penalties. The Blues maintained a lead for the first thirty minutes, nearly extending it further when George pounced on a loose ball at a lineout on his own twenty two. George set off down the pitch, breaking a couple of tackles and swerving his way to the opposition twenty two, until his progress was halted. Chris, Ben, Cam and Lloyd all broke into the opposition twenty two on a number of occasions, but the Blues could not convert any further chances, until the last play, when Man of the Match Ben Hadfield powered over from close range for a consolation try. | 2019-04-24T18:13:13 | https://www.macclesfieldrufc.co.uk/2014/03/caldy-colts-23-11-macclesfield-colts/ |
It's been a while since I've written and I decided that there is nothing better to kick things off again than St. Patrick's Day, especially considering the only proper ways to celebrate the day are wearing green and drinking beers and some crazy people eat corned beef, which isn't bad, but I'll just take the beer, thank you. Instead of write about what's happened over the past couple of days, or why I've been so bad about updating my blog, I thought I'd tell an Irish tale, titled, "The time my father tried to drive us through Ireland" OR "How the Rotondaro family nearly perished on a road fit only for goats and bicycles."
The summer after my junior year in college, my family planned a two-week trip to Ireland. The plan: fly into Dublin, drive south, up the west coast, and then back to Dublin before leaving. It was incredibly exciting. My parents even gave me incredibly effective sleeping pills for the plane ride over, so all I remember are a few words to Vinnie and then deep, dreamless sleep. We were there in a flash it seemed. Later my brother and I engaged in almost physical fights over who would swallow the last of the magical pills when we were both fighting horrible jetlag and couldn't get to bed at a proper hour, but that's another story.
We arrived, well-rested and piled our luggage into the tiny little car we'd be driving for the remainder of our stay. As you know, the crazy people in that part of the world drive on the other side of the road, and so the driver's side is opposite what it is in America. Driving stick, which most everybody does, proves a real challenge for those not used to it because you are not only on the other side of the car on the other side of the road but using your other hand for shifting.
My father, however, was in remarkably good spirits and ready to take on the challenge. He'd driven us around the countryside when we were just small children on another visit we'd made, and didn't see any reason why he couldn't manage it again.
Here's a reason - We were driving, happy, my father was singing, even. He was belting out a jaunty little traditional Irish tune called "It's a Long Way to Tipperary," when BAM! There was a loud noise and some friction on the passenger's side of the car. That's where my mom was sitting, near the side of the road, and this was the first of many incidences during which she feared for her life.
He'd hit another car, specifically, another car's side mirror because he'd been driving too close to the side of the road - typical, because as the driver in Ireland you're sitting close to oncoming traffic and people new to this tend to steer towards the edge of the road rather than close to the middle.
We didn't go back and check on the car we'd hit. We did laugh a little and excused my father this time because we got it - it was hard! He drove on, but the car was now silent, the singing ceased.
It wasn't long before a steady thump began on the left side of the car as though we were driving over something over and over again. Turns out, we were. My father was so far over to the left that he was driving into and over each house's driveway, including the separations in between. We were being thrown up and down as he cruised over each raised section of pavement, but we didn't say a thing. Somewhere in the common-sense part of our brains, we realized that saying anything negative about this man's driving at this moment might be the end of it all. He might take his hands off the wheel and give up. As it was, he was visibly tense, his body tight and leaning forward. We remained quiet except for the nervous giggle that escaped from me or my brother every now and then. We couldn't help it. We were thinking about dying on a foreign road.
It went on for a while before the situation intensified. We entered a more woodsy stretch and tree limbs began whipping through my mother's window. Some of them hit her in the face and some of them were very large. My father looked over at her every now and then, quickly, a nervous look upon his face as though he was not the one who had any control over all this. A lone tear fell down my mother's cheek and still, no one said a word.
The experience, as all such stressful experiences must, ended when we finally pulled into the long, winding driveway of the historic inn where we were to spend the night. When we understood that we were off the main roads, so narrow and full of cattle, we breathed easier, we started to smile. We spoke. We made fun of my father. He could take it now because we had survived, the family vacation would continue although there'd been a moment there when each of us had imagined it crashing down around us in a shower of shattered car parts and yelling.
We were safe. And then, horribly, we weren't. Caught up in the joy of the moment, my father had completely forgotten where we were and let the car drift over to the right side of the road where a woman and her many children were driving the opposite direction, and right where they should have been. It happened quickly - she saw us and we saw them and both cars came to a screeching halt, the nose of our car right against theirs. As our Irish friend drove off, screaming obscenities, we took a deep breath, realizing that once again, we'd escaped. We drove on to the inn, had lunch and a beer, and my father didn't set foot in the driver's side of that car again that trip. We found my mother was much better suited for the job. We explored great, beautiful cliffs, and old pubs, met the kindest people, and visited the historic sites and still the best story is the drive from the airport. | 2019-04-22T18:22:24 | http://www.caramcduna.com/blog/2005/03/17/a-salute-to-the-irish-and-their-god-forsaken-roads |

Armand Nicolet Watch Company was founded in the town Tramelane by the talented watchmaker Armand Nicolet. Back in the early childhood there was a singular passion for horology in little Armand. At the age of 20 years, he has managed to establish his own watch workshop, which started producing fine timepieces. The wrist watches Armand Nicolet have not lost their relevance: the classics never go out of fashion.
Today, the watch company CEO Armand Nicolet is Rolando Braga. This Italian entrepreneur for 35 years has been active in the watch industry and known for his significant achievements in the field of engineering and design wrist watches. According to Rolando Braga, they create watches as Arman did: attention to details, personal usage of mechanical movements, the variety of elegant forms, strength.
The CEO of the watch company Armand Nicolet - Rolando Braga - kindly agreed to answer the questions of Montre24.
Montre24: Watch brand Armand Nicolet is known for its beautiful classic watches. Today there are many different watch companies on the market suggesting different classic wristwatches. What do you think the distinguishing feature of watches Armand Nicolet is?
Rolando Braga: As you correctly said ours are classic watches and we are not planning on changing. What really makes the difference when it comes to Armand Nicolet watches is the attention to details, the finishing of the movements, the construction methods of the dials (see, for example, the lady dials that are a beautiful mix of techniques guilloché with inserts of MOP) and of the cases. The result is that, looking at our watches, people feel the harmony of all the elements together that brings the difference from the crowd. Getting this emotional result is a very difficult part of our designer's job, this is also the reason why our design center is located in Italy while the factory is in Switzerland.
Montre24:: Do you have limited editions in your watch collections? And if you have, whom are they dedicated to?
Rolando Braga: This is the most important and unique point of Armand Nicolet in comparison with other famous and prestigious Swiss watch brands. Our Limited Edition series are not dedicated to a special event or to a specific situation; we are the only company that makes Limited Edition series featuring original old movements that we have in our warehouse. Therefore, these series are limited because of the limited availability of the original old movements. After we have used all of these movements, it will be impossible to replicate them.
Montre24: The models of your collection S05 have rubber straps. Do you think it is a deviation from the classic style?
Rolando Braga: Not exactly, the S05 line has been developed, taking inspiration from some of our own old models, found in the warehouse and produced during the Second World War for the Army. We have studied and applied the style and some technical solutions of those old military and sporty models to the new S05 line with the purpose to offer a strong, ergonomically fitting and comfortable to wear Sporty Classic model.
Montre24: The company “Armand Nicolet” uses 3D technology in its watch production. Could you tell us about it and were you the first who used that technology?
Rolando Braga: I don't think we were the first to use the technology that was developed for other industries such as aircraft and car manufacture, nor do I think we are the only one in the watch industry to use it. The problem is always the same: you have to use the most advanced technology in support of your work but the main issue is how capable and good you are at using these technologies at their best. We use the 3D technology along with other top instruments and human skills to make our products.
Montre24: Nowadays there is a tendency to enlarge the watch cases. What do you think about it?
Rolando Braga: We choose the dimensions of our watches always in terms of functionality not because of fashion trends. We will not change our attitude. A bigger size is normally needed, if many functions are displayed on a dial in order to read them more easily. We always keep in mind also the ergonomic wearability of a watch and a huge one isn’t really comfortable on the wrist. The proof of our amazing result occurred when I was wearing the prototype of the New S05 line in the thicker and heavier Chronograph with Complete Calendar version. I was looking around the room to find the watch while, in fact, it was on my wrist and I was simply not even feeling it. Our designers have done a great job on this series.
Montre24: On BaselWorld 2011 there was a tendency to simplify watch movements. What do you think about difficult complications of watches, for example, tourbillion or perpetual calendar?
Rolando Braga: We have always produced only watches that are friendly to wear and easy to use. It is the reason why we have not made a tourbillion yet or other very expensive complications: Armand Nicolet watches that are developed to be worn every day cannot be too delicate or too expensive.
Montre24: Do you use in your watches exceptional own mechanic movements? Are you going to use quartz movements?
Rolando Braga: We will never use quartz movements as the market doesn't need another brand selling such products. We offer our uniqueness especially in the Limited Edition series that feature our own mechanical movements.
Montre24: Are you going to create any model in vintage or military style in the nearest future?
Rolando Braga: All our models have been developed keeping in mind our history that includes the production of military watches and, obviously, the vintage style. In the future we will continue to be inspired by them.
Montre24: Are you going to use bronze in your watches in future?
Rolando Braga: No, we don't see any technical reason to use bronze for our watches.
Montre24: Which market do you think is more attractive and perspective?
Rolando Braga: China now and India in the next 10 years.
Montre24: How many watches do you sell annually? Do the sales of your watches increase or they remain stable?
Rolando Braga: We don't disclose data about our production but I can say that in 2010 our production has increased by 10.5% and that the production of all together our Limited Edition series is less than 1'000 pcs per year.
Montre24: Which countries is the great volume of sales of your watches fixed in?
Rolando Braga: We don't disclose data but we can say that no market in the world is more than 7% of our total sales.
Montre24: Does the company Armand Nicolet have any own know – how? And if you have, would you tell about in detail?
Rolando Braga: Yes, we have developed a special team with its relevant know-how and machines necessary to work on, recover and tune the old movements we use for our Limited Editions. You can find the information that we can disclose on the file here attached that explains what we do.
Montre24: Will you present new models in near future?
Rolando Braga: This year we have introduced 4 new lines: SL5, LL9 & L10 that feature Limited Edition movements and the lady version of the S05 that is called SL5. These lines will be in production starting from the end of 2011. Each year we will introduce new lines that will substitute the discontinued ones.
Montre24: And what will you wish our readers?
Rolando Braga: First of all, the best for their health and wealth for themselves and for their relatives and friends. Second, if they are looking for a nice watch, I suggest them to check and compare the Armand Nicolet watches with the other models of the best brands existing on the market. Please, check the line, wearability and outlook of the model, the quality and finishing of all the details, the price of the product and then make your decision and select your purchase. | 2019-04-23T10:40:21 | http://montre24.com/watchInterview/1/ |

My very heraldic Christmas and Io Saturnalia!
My lord had to go do Navy things for a few months, so when I should have been studying for school, I sewed things.
I also found out that Santa Claus can read heraldry! You see, we stayed home for the holidays this year when both of us usually travel, sometimes in opposite directions to keep both families happy, so we had no decorations. None. Zip. So I was shopping for the necessary trimmings, and found that they’re all way too expensive and I didn’t like them all anyway. So I went to Joann’s, dropped $60 in supplies, and went to work.
But modern Christmas is not terribly period ,but it sure is pretty. So, I decided to try Saturnalia from the 17th-23rd of December for the first time this year, and we definitely had fun! We set up a household altar with Roman goodies: an amphora, a cup of wine and a cup of olive oil, lamps, and I had a tea light for each night of the festival (how, uh, syncretic of me.) Each day the lord and I would make an “offering” to Saturn in the ways of whatever we had around. This varied from my actual Roman artifact rings, to a cheap rhinestone ring, amber necklace, chunk of shortbread, coffee, and Geoffrey’s Dungeons and Dragons Elementals. I am not even kidding.
The First Day of Saturnalia.
The star lamp would have been very appealing to the Romans, who were fond of gilding all the things with gold suns and stars for the festival. I kept it lit the entire 7 days.
The last night of the festival with all the goodies we offered! Rainbow Brite pillowcase from the 80s and chopsticks my husband brought me home from Guam. Why not?! I was burning some extra candles since we weren’t home for a couple of nights.
The magnet on my car. Complete with some New Hampshire December ice and grime.
It was all in the spirit of the season, and trying to feel as the Romans would have felt. Every holiday in December has one thing in common: The solstice and the return of light at the darkest part of the year. So I’m a big fan of setting things on fire or putting a mere 1500 lights on my balcony and 400 lights on my tree.
And lawn flamingos. Nothing screams winter like pink plastic.
Most of all, we had FUN. I hope everyone else had fun with the holidays this week, also!
Felicem Dies Natalis Sol Invicti!
I hope everyone has a Happy New Year, and I’ll catch you all on the flip side with some neat info on Byzantine outerwear, and the upcoming garb challenge at Birka!
