BkiUeB7xK7IAEeGRfr2k | Q: Google Data Studio: how to create time series chart with custom Big Query query I have a Data Studio report with a Time Series added. The data source is from a custom query using the Big Query connector:
select user_dim.app_info.app_version, count(1) as count
from [my_app_domain_ANDROID.app_events_20160929]
group by 1
According to the Data Studio documentation at: https://support.google.com/360suite/datastudio/answer/6370296?hl=en
BigQuery supports querying across multiple tables, where each table has a single day of data. The tables have the format of YYYYMMDD. When Data Studio encounters a table that has the format of YYYYMMDD, the table will be marked as a multi-day table and only the name prefix_YYYYMMDD will be displayed in the table select.
When a chart is created to visualize this table, Data Studio will automatically create a default date range of the last 28 days, and properly query the last 28 tables. You can configure this setting by editing the report, selecting the chart, then adjust the Date Range properties in the chart's
However, in the Time Series Properties DATA tab, there no no valid "Time Dimension" to select. According to the documentation, I should not need to select a Time Dimension. It should query the right table automatically.
Something I am not understanding yet?
A: There are 2 issues with the query in the question:
*
*To get a time series, you'll need to add a time based column to the custom query.
For example:
SELECT created_at, COUNT(*) c
FROM [githubarchive:day.20160930]
WHERE type='WatchEvent'
GROUP BY 1
*Data Studio won't do the 28 day expansion with custom queries. To get the expansion featured in the documentation, you need to point to an actual table (and Data Studio will figure out the prefix and date expansion).
I left a working example at:

BkiUek_xK7Ehm4qs1Mtb | Case Study: Villanova's Depth Keeps It On Top
February 27, 2015 Matt Dinkins 1 Comment
We're out of the Top 5, but there's no lack of talent left to study. Jay Wright's Villanova team has bounced back from a few dark years to find themselves ranked in the Top 10 in the AP poll. This Philadelphian university and its fans are hopeful, so let's find out why.
Part of the reason for the Wildcats renewed success lies in their offense. They run a four-out motion offense, with is a little bit unique, especially compared to the offenses discussed previously. The key concept of the offense is spacing and motion. The offense spreads out, with two players on the wings, two players in the slots (sometimes one of these is a shorter forward who is adept in the post), and one player inside, usually posted up. This spread gives an athletic post player room to move, and takes away height advantages for the other team.
What about the motion part of the offense?
Well, that's where the complexity lies. Each role has a very specific set of rules for interacting with each other, mainly involving flare screens. A flare screen is a play where a player sets a screen on the back of the defender who's covering the ball handler. The ball handler then passes to a wing player, cuts across the screen, then catches a pass for a — hopefully — wide open shot. These plays are all over Wright's offense, with both wings and both slot players setting screens both off and on the ball. Creating mismatches all over the floor is exactly what he wants, and giving the inside player room creates a one-on-one shot even if none of the outside players can knock it down. Even when not screening, the slot and wing players are still in motion, rotating around the court, forcing their defenders to stay focused on them instead of the ball.
Unlike some of our past teams, Villanova is not built around superstars.
Last week, Duke's Jahlil Okafor was nearly half of our case study, but the Wildcats are a different story. Only two players on the team (Dariun Hillard II and Ryan Arcidiacono) average more than 10 points per game, but that doesn't stop them from having the 26th overall points-per-game ranking in the country, at 75.6. Indeed, Villanova is all about depth, with eight players playing more than 20 minutes a game, two higher than average.
As with their offense, their defense is all about depth. Where their team is not very tall, they have consistency. The starters are 6-5, 6-6, 6-6, 6-7 and 6-11. All of these outside players can cover any other outside players, giving them flexibility to change matchups on either the offensive or defensive end at will. Every single one of their four outside players can rotate and over any other outside player. While they're not amazing at any key defensive stat, this small thing helps a team that is above average across the board turn into a great defense.
Villanova is about to finish up one of the best seasons of Wright's tenure, and are hopeful going into the NCAA Tournament. With their agile offense and flexible defense, they have a great shot at making it into the later rounds.

BkiUfpg25V5jayWgFbdo | FFE, a leading specialist in fire detection, is working with Bloodhound SSC, the team behind a car capable of over 1000mph, to develop a bespoke Talentum flame detector to protect the pilot while it attempts to break the Land Speed record next year in South Africa. FFE has brainstormed ideas and developed the specialist, ultrafast Talentum flame detector over the past six months. The detector, comprised of a robust, glass-fibre reinforced synthetic material, is to be completed by the end of this month in time for the runway trials later this year. To learn more about this exciting, globe-spanning project please visit us on stand H160.
To protect workers during aircraft spray-painting, Cambridge International Airport have installed nine Talentum flame detectors and one Fireray beam detector from FFE.
The Fireray One is a standalone beam detector that prioritises ease of installation. Its One Minute Auto-Alignment with integrated user interface allows you to steer the laser onto the Reflector, then at the flick of a switch, it aligns itself. 8 times faster than previous detectors.
Watch this video and discover how quick and easy it is to align a beam smoke detector.

BkiUd3A4eIfiUSz0snZv | Miley Cyrus' Pre-Taped American Idol Performance, Got The Life
Miley Cyrus' pre-recorded performance for "American Idol" where she sings "The Climb" will be aired in two weeks.
Miley Cyrus' pre-recorded performance for hit reality singing competition "American Idol" has just got its airdate. Announced on her official website, the performance where she sings ballad song "The Climb" will be televised on April 15.
"Miley was so nervous to perform on 'Idol' and just before performing wrote [on her Twitter] 'Wish me luck … getting nervous! Time for 'Idol'," so a statement on her website read. "Make sure you tune into 'American Idol' on April 15th to seen a special performance by Miley."
Another singer said to have got pre-taped treatment in "American Idol" is Jennifer Hudson. She has reportedly taped a performance that FOX will air at a later date on March 25. However, Idol's camp hasn't offered any comment regarding her pre-taped performance.
Meanwhile, LIFE was resurrected as LIFE site, an online-only entity. And for their first official cover, they've selected teen pop sensation Miley Cyrus as their subject.
The Hannah Montana star invited noted photographer Jeff Vespa on the road, into her home and inside her secret recording studio, where no cameras had ventured before.
"She's singing in an empty studio — there's no audience or anything — but she's totally rocking out, giving us her all," recalls the photographer.
Case in point: the portrait shoot for this cover, which LIFE editor-at-large Jeff Vespa had to nail in the seconds before Miley left the Four Seasons Hotel for the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards. "She gets her makeup done, we move the makeup chair out of the way, [my assistant] holds up a paper roll behind her head, I get 14 frames in 11 seconds, and we run out the door," he remembers.
When he arrived, Vespa reports, "she was already there — she was early, and celebrities are never early."
"I just love her face here," Vespa says of this photo of Miley, who's signing a special note to her "Miles to Go" collaborator Hilary Liftin: "HIL — I [heart] you so much! I could never thank you enough for giving me this opportunity! My life has just begun & I can't wait to share what happens next with you!!"

BkiUdEI5qoTAjvd_e9rG | Q: Where can I find Opc.Ua.ModelCompiler.exe? I'm developping a c# OPC UA Server. I'm building my server based on the "UA Sample Server" project, provided with the OPC UA 1.02 .NET Stack and Sample Applications.
In order to generate the server model it seems I have to run an executable called Opc.Ua.ModelCompiler.exe wich is not provided with the SDK. (I found that in the file 'BuildDesign.bat').
I tried to install "OPC UA SDK 1.01 Redistributables Setup" & "OPC UA SDK 1.01 COM Interop Components Setup" but I still cannot find that executable on my disk.
Anyone know where I can find that executable?
(We are OPCFundation corporate member)
A: It is not available it the SDK 1.02. I had to install the following to get the ModelCompiler sources:
"OPC UA SDK 1.01 Test Applications Source Code Setup"
A: The model compiler will be made available as a standalone ZIP file within the .NET Stack and Sample Applications deliverable which we will be releasing in the next few days.
Please email compliance@opcfoundation.org and I will send it to you directly.

BkiUahnxK19JmhArA7NH | RODDICKTON, N.L. — Federal fisheries officers are assessing dozens of stranded seals causing havoc for residents of a small Newfoundland town.
The wayward animals have been blocking roads, driveways and doors in Roddickton, N.L. — and residents are unable to move them because it is illegal to touch marine mammals.
A Fisheries Department spokesperson said Thursday some seals have already been removed and officers and scientists are working to determine the health of the seals spotted inland.
Roddickton Mayor Sheila Fitzgerald said Wednesday the group of about 40 harp seals is becoming hungry, tired and crying out, suggesting they may be too disoriented to find their way back to the ocean.

He measured the length of the building along the front of the separate area behind it, with a gallery on each side, a hundred cubits; he also measured the inner nave and the porches of the court. The thresholds, the latticed windows and the galleries round about their three stories, opposite the threshold, were paneled with wood all around, and from the ground to the windows (but the windows were covered), over the entrance, and to the inner house, and on the outside, and on all the wall all around inside and outside, by measurement.read more.

He also made two capitals of molten bronze to set on the tops of the pillars; the height of the one capital was five cubits and the height of the other capital was five cubits. There were nets of network and twisted threads of chainwork for the capitals which were on the top of the pillars; seven for the one capital and seven for the other capital. So he made the pillars, and two rows around on the one network to cover the capitals which were on the top of the pomegranates; and so he did for the other capital. The capitals which were on the top of the pillars in the porch were of lily design, four cubits. There were capitals on the two pillars, even above and close to the rounded projection which was beside the network; and the pomegranates numbered two hundred in rows around both capitals. Thus he set up the pillars at the porch of the nave; and he set up the right pillar and named it Jachin, and he set up the left pillar and named it Boaz. On the top of the pillars was lily design. So the work of the pillars was finished. Now he made the sea of cast metal ten cubits from brim to brim, circular in form, and its height was five cubits, and thirty cubits in circumference. Under its brim gourds went around encircling it ten to a cubit, completely surrounding the sea; the gourds were in two rows, cast with the rest. It stood on twelve oxen, three facing north, three facing west, three facing south, and three facing east; and the sea was set on top of them, and all their rear parts turned inward. It was a handbreadth thick, and its brim was made like the brim of a cup, as a lily blossom; it could hold two thousand baths. Then he made the ten stands of bronze; the length of each stand was four cubits and its width four cubits and its height three cubits. This was the design of the stands: they had borders, even borders between the frames, and on the borders which were between the frames were lions, oxen and cherubim; and on the frames there was a pedestal above, and beneath the lions and oxen were wreaths of hanging work. Now each stand had four bronze wheels with bronze axles, and its four feet had supports; beneath the basin were cast supports with wreaths at each side. Its opening inside the crown at the top was a cubit, and its opening was round like the design of a pedestal, a cubit and a half; and also on its opening there were engravings, and their borders were square, not round. The four wheels were underneath the borders, and the axles of the wheels were on the stand. And the height of a wheel was a cubit and a half. The workmanship of the wheels was like the workmanship of a chariot wheel. Their axles, their rims, their spokes, and their hubs were all cast. Now there were four supports at the four corners of each stand; its supports were part of the stand itself. On the top of the stand there was a circular form half a cubit high, and on the top of the stand its stays and its borders were part of it. He engraved on the plates of its stays and on its borders, cherubim, lions and palm trees, according to the clear space on each, with wreaths all around. He made the ten stands like this: all of them had one casting, one measure and one form. He made ten basins of bronze, one basin held forty baths; each basin was four cubits, and on each of the ten stands was one basin. Then he set the stands, five on the right side of the house and five on the left side of the house; and he set the sea of cast metal on the right side of the house eastward toward the south. Now Hiram made the basins and the shovels and the bowls. So Hiram finished doing all the work which he performed for King Solomon in the house of the LORD: the two pillars and the two bowls of the capitals which were on the top of the two pillars, and the two networks to cover the two bowls of the capitals which were on the top of the pillars; and the four hundred pomegranates for the two networks, two rows of pomegranates for each network to cover the two bowls of the capitals which were on the tops of the pillars; and the ten stands with the ten basins on the stands; and the one sea and the twelve oxen under the sea; and the pails and the shovels and the bowls; even all these utensils which Hiram made for King Solomon in the house of the LORD were of polished bronze. In the plain of the Jordan the king cast them, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zarethan. Solomon left all the utensils unweighed, because they were too many; the weight of the bronze could not be ascertained. Solomon made all the furniture which was in the house of the LORD: the golden altar and the golden table on which was the bread of the Presence; and the lampstands, five on the right side and five on the left, in front of the inner sanctuary, of pure gold; and the flowers and the lamps and the tongs, of gold; and the cups and the snuffers and the bowls and the spoons and the firepans, of pure gold; and the hinges both for the doors of the inner house, the most holy place, and for the doors of the house, that is, of the nave, of gold. Thus all the work that King Solomon performed in the house of the LORD was finished And Solomon brought in the things dedicated by his father David, the silver and the gold and the utensils, and he put them in the treasuries of the house of the LORD.

But when it says, "all things are put in subjection," it is plain that he is excepted who put all things in subjection under him. When all things are subjected to him, then the Son himself will also be subjected to him who put all things in subjection under him, that God may be all in all. Scripture Image
Beaten silver is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz. They are the work of the craftsman and of the hands of the goldsmith; their clothing is violet and purple; they are all the work of skilled men. But the Lord is the true God; he is the living God and the everlasting King. At his wrath the earth quakes, and the nations cannot endure his indignation. Thus shall you say to them: "The gods who did not make the heavens and the earth shall perish from the earth and from under the heavens." Christian Art and Gifts

BkiUd485qoTBB2nxJNVL | September 2, 2012 -- The Land Rover U.S. Eventing Team showed that the future is bright claiming two spots within the top ten at The Land Rover Burghley Horse Trials. Sunday proved to be an influential day of Show Jumping as the leaderboard saw a huge shake-up from top to bottom. Sinead Halpin and Allison Springer put a summer's worth of training in England, thanks to Land Rover Competition and Training Grants, to the test producing classy efforts throughout the week to claim second and sixth places respectively.
Halpin (Oldwick, N.J.) entered Burghley's main arena as the overnight leader with Carriag LLC's Manoir De Carneville but three unfortunate rails left them in runner-up position. The 12-year-old Selle Francais gelding collected twelve faults after lowering the oxer at three, the third element of the triple and the out of the double to finish on a score of 48.3.
"He warmed-up beautifully and certainly was a bit tired but I feel like we were as prepared as we could have been going into that situation," said Halpin following her round. "So it was disappointing but I'm still proud of him.
Despite the day not ending the way she had envisioned, Halpin is still pleased her performance over the last four days.
"I feel like this has been a fantastic experience, this has been a brilliant event and I'm so lucky to have this horse. And we'll be back again and again and again."
Halpin's second place finish is the best U.S. result at the prestigious competition since Stephen Bradley's win with Sassy Reason in 1993.
In the past the Show Jumping phase has proven heartbreaking for Springer (Upperville, Va.) and Arthur but not on Sunday. The pair rose one place from seventh following the cross country despite two rails finishing on a score of 57.2. This is the second top ten CCI4* placing in 2012 for Springer and Carole and William Springer's 13-year-old Irish Sport Horse Cross gelding after having come second at the Rolex Kentucky Three Day Event presented by Bridgestone in April.
Springer also claimed third place in the HSBC Classics? series after her top finishes in Kentucky and Stamford.
California's Kristi Nunnick finished just outside the top 25 in 26th place with her 11-year-old Holsteiner mare R-Star. The pair had a single rail on Sunday to complete their first Burghley on a score of 83.9.
Kate Hicks and Erin Sylvester were also competing for the first time at the British fixture. They finished in 50th and 52nd riding Belmont and No Boundaries respectively.
New Zealand's Andrew Nicholson collected his third Burghley title after a four fault effort with Avebury.

Boyd Martin carried the torch for the Land Rover U.S. Eventing Team on the final day of the Boekelo CCI3*. Riding Otis Barbotiere and Remington XXV, Martin (West Grove, Pa.) produced two top 35 results in his first attempt at the Dutch premiere CCI3*.
Will Faudree is the highest placed U.S. rider at the Saumur CCI 3*, finishing in fourth place. Marilyn Little finishes in eighth place. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 4 | 1 |
BkiUdmQ4eIZijUtnGROx | Aid agencies postponed a convoy of vital food and health supplies to Eastern Ghouta on Thursday, as the Syrian regime pressed a relentless ground and air assault against the rebel enclave.
New airstrikes on the town of Zamalka killed at least seven civilians, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, bringing the total number of dead in the offensive to more than 900.
"The convoy for today is postponed, as the situation is evolving on the ground, which doesn't allow us to carry out the operation in such conditions," ICRC spokeswoman Ingy Sedky said.
Several families were seen trying to reach fresh air late Wednesday on the roof of a four-storey building in Hammuriyeh, after airstrikes on their neighbourhood.
The UN's humanitarian coordination office (OCHA) in Damascus said the convoy could not go through Thursday because it had not received permission from Syrian authorities.
Bombardment has continued and on Monday a long-awaited aid delivery was cut short after heavy airstrikes. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

It's not true, but it's a rumour that's floated around for years. Irony is often humourous, but there's a certain undercurrent in society that seems to delight in kicking cherished childhood icons from atop their pillars. As if growing up and learning about the actual realities of adulthood wasn't disconcerting enough. :/
Sheepingly needs no handy men only hugs
I've never heard of that rumor before LOL. Wow...
Oh yuck. I certainly hope not.
The Account Formerly Known As Peyton
I haven't heard that. I doubt it.
Thats the stupidest rumor that i have heard. :p
From the Shel Silverstein song "Get my rocks off", as performed by Dr Hook: "Sometimes I dream of chicks to bring me everlasting joys sometimes I dream of animals sometimes I dream of boys" I'ver heard this rumor heaps, maybe this song kicked it all off?
If your a man, once your name is associated with children this is bound to happen.
No, but he wrote a song called "Scum of the Earth" which has these lines: "And the road man's name was Lester He was a well-known child molester His minister told him he'd never go to heaven He wore a bright red toupée And had lots of groupées But they ranged in age from fourteen to eleven" That might have started the rumour.
No but he was mentally ill and thought of weird things.
No idea if Shel Slverstein was any kind of molester, let alone Heaven forbid a child molester. I only know he wrote one of my favorite Johnny Cash song "A Boy Named Sue" Brings back sentimental memories of my late hubby singing it to me.
i have no idea, i dont even know who he is

Should I cut off this friend? I have this friend of mine that can be really selfish at times. It normally happens when hes drunk. He can drink on weekends and he drinks all weekend long. He just got a DUI a few weekends ago and he told me its his 2nd but I know hes still going to court for his 2nd DUI. So I think he lied to me there. His step dad died a couple weeks ago and he never even told me about it. He never told me when the funeral was. He came over the next day and asked me for gas money. I still helped him out because it was $10. Hes not the type of friend that would go out of his way for someone either. I remember I bought beer for us when we went to this party one weekend. Then the next day he didn't even give me a ride home. He excuss was hes too hung over so I took the bus. Also if he doesn't get what he wants from someone he can get mad at them. Hes done it to me and other people. I've been thinking about ignoring him from now on.

BkiUczA5jDKDyKU9CuMm | POPSUGAR Reading Challenge Prompt: A book with an LGBTQ+ protagonist.
Brief synopsis: Suzette is Little, but only to Lion. Lion(el) is basically her brother. Their parents started dating when they (Little and Lion) were small children, but never went through any "official" ties like marriage or adoption. While Lion was learning a little bit more about how to manage mental illness, Little was across the country at boarding school. Now she's back and she's not quiet sure where she belongs. Her relationship with her brother is strained, and she's trying to come to terms with who she is - once she really understands it herself.
Little & Lion is a beautifully written YA novel about family, friendship, queerness, and mental illness. While it sounds like a loaded book, it both is and it isn't. I love that Brandy Colbert makes the story so purposeful, while also making it easy to relate to the characters and understand the storyline.
Okay, y'all - don't get me wrong. There is something genius about what's perceived as "literature," and I hate that typically YA doesn't fall into this. I personally prefer that the novels I read aren't so smart they shoot straight over my head. I am a big YA fan, but maybe if you aren't, you won't enjoy this book.
I'd like to say that Little & Lion gave me some of the same vibes as The Hate U Give. While not as politically charged, it's definitely a story worth reading, because it makes some valid points. There are issues of racism, homophobia, stigma against mental illness. The novel really has it all, without breaking you down (even though I do enjoy a book that really gets until my skin and stresses me out because those types of issues and dealing with them should make you uncomfortable, so you want to make change... but I could say a lot about that, and this isn't the place for me).
I would love to see a lot more buzz around this book, because it really is great. I loved the characters, even if I could've done with a bit more development (especially with Lionel). The book does have some alternating chapters between "then" (when Little was at boarding school) and "now" (when Little is back home with her family). I definitely think the novel could have benefited from switched perspectives (between Little and Lionel), but I understand what Colbert was doing with keeping the focus on Little. The novel was a focus on her sexuality, and other pieces (like the mental illness) were not necessarily the focal point.
Regardless, I loved this book. I would definitely love to read more from Brandy Colbert.
Just added this to my TBR list- it sounds like it addresses a lot of important things and I like that. I haven't read a ton of YA books, but I do enjoy them.
I like YA books because I typically feel like they're fairly quick reads, but they also tend to address important topics. This is definitely one of them to check out (pun intended)! | c4 | 4 | 2 | 4 | 2 |

BkiUdk04uzqh_O2xytSs | I have been meaning to get to this little fix for a while. A few times while away camping if the wind has come from a certain angle it can lift the Thermal windscreen cover in the corners as there is nothing holding it, this then can lead to the Velcro undoing if it is windy. As is always the way this coincided with rain so getting out of the van in the pouring rain to re attach the cover was a bit tedious.
So a simple fix is to sew some elastic that will go below the wing mirrors and should stop the bottom corner from flapping and thus should not allow the Velcro to be put under enough strain to open up.
So firstly keeping this cheap I salvaged some elastic from an old stinky snowboard jacket and test fitted to the van and marked the length and position. This was then sewn on in the sewing machine.
So that's about all there is to it really its just a shame Just Kampers didn't leave an extra flap of material with Velcro so I didn't have to do this but all in all I am happy for the cost and couldn't imagine paying for a more expensive Thermal Windscreen Cover.
I will say after various methods in the past of interior curtains and windscreen covers I will always use an external screen cover from now on as the task of clearing up the condensation gets a bit tedious with the other methods.
Have you though about making your own out of thermal bubble wrap, just hold up a section of thermal bubble wrap and mark out the shape of the with your finger then cut it out about 15mm larger and push up into the window. Mine stay up without any fixing and only cost about Ј12 .For the windscreen you will need to tape 2 lengths together. | c4 | 3 | 1 | 4 | 2 |
BkiUdGE4dbgg-EpAJAoP | Weed control is important for growth and development of newly planted trees. The Weed-A-Metre is a granule dispenser designed to easily and accurately apply granular herbicides, which are just as effective as liquid herbicide treatments for long term weed control, but without the fuss of mixing and carrying heavy spray knapsacks. The Weed-A-Metre also reduces the risk of herbicide damage caused by unwanted contact of herbicide with foliage.
The Weed-A-Metre works by holding the assembled Weed-A-Metre above the tree seedling (end of rod touches the ground) and squeezing the trigger for at least two seconds to allow the granules to exit (granule movement by gravity). The granules exit out the bottom of the Spreader Cone Pylon, over the Spreader Cone Base and fall evenly onto the ground in a circular shape. The size of the treated/spot area is determined by the height the Weed-A-Metre is held from the ground when the granules are applied, the application rate and the type of granule. The volume of granules applied is determined by the trigger insert size and the amount in grams varies with the density of the granules.
Read the Weed-A-Metre brochure for technical information.

BkiUdZo5qsBB3ZsxcOmI | Sorry Iv'e been away from my blog for a while. Other priorities have taken over and Iv'e been very busy with other things but I'm back creating again at least for the time being.
Iv'e made a card using a "Me To You" stamp - the image is of the Teddy on a swing so I thought I would actually make it swing by using some wire and a fastener at the top so he can go back and forth top reveal a message underneath.
The papers I used are from the Papermania Ultimate Die Cut Pack called "Strictly Party". I chose some soft colours as they compliment the image well.
Hope you like the pictures. I am busy making samples for my Demo's throughout July and August at the moment. The new DoCrafts Creativity Essentials products are out in the stores now. They include "Strictly Party", "Strictly Christmas" the new Capsule Collection which are all greens which I love, "Christmas Tidings" and the vibrant "Happy Days" collection which is all about the 50's. Very on trend at the moment.
I'll be demonstrating this card and other products at The Range in Exeter on Saturday 14th July so hope to see you there if you can make it.
I did say the dreaded word "Christmas" I'm afraid. The companies bring out their Christmas goodies very early so us crafters can get cracking making our cards early. It would have been nice to at least get a summer first though wouldn't it.
Lovely design and love the swinging Tatty Ted. Love the colours and the papers.
Briliant idea and a lovely card. | c4 | 2 | 1 | 4 | 1 |
BkiUbQk5qsMAIwCl7lfr | The podcast from this show can be found here.
I appreciate Steve's willingness to have an open, candid, "no sacred cow" conversation about issues that are too often ignored in the life of the church. We got the chance to talk about the importance of both sides of the issue: (a) how to overcome a struggle that directly affects the majority of the church — sexual sin, and (b) how do we care for the offended spouse who is often neglected even when a church is willing to minister to the offending spouse?
Steve had a great grasp of who is affected (men and women; singles and married) and what is at stake (the freedom of God's children and the testimony of God's church). His questions and commentary brought both of these to the forefront.
I appreciate his willingness to bring this issue and these seminars before the Body of Christ in RDU. I would appreciate your prayers as we seek to shed the light of Scripture and the hope of the gospel on this subject that is normally marked by darkness, shame, and despair. If you are able to attend we would love for any pastor, counselor, small group leader, lay leader, struggler, or friend who wants to be to offer hope to join us. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 4 | 1 |
BkiUcBnxK03BfMLypiPc | (February 5, 2018; Day 6) – The Clipper Round the World Yacht Race teams has experienced some of the most unexpected conditions of the 2017-18 edition so far and unforecasted weather conditions have continued to challenge the fleet during the sixth day of racing.
PSP Logistics sits in second place today and is followed by Visit Seattle in third place and Garmin which sits in in fourth despite initially overshooting the Doldrums Corridor. Garmin Skipper Gaëtan Thomas explains: "Everything was going alright until we were a few hundred meters from the end of the Doldrums Corridor and our instruments recording the waypoint bugged.
In fifth place, but only separated from the frontrunner by around thirteen nautical miles (nm), Dare To Lead has also completed the Doldrums Corridor and has been considering the best tactical move going forward towards the Scoring Gate.
Speaking from on board, Dale says: "Exiting the Doldrums Corridor, the routing options are extremely complicated. If you turn west towards China, you will have headwinds for a long, long, time. You could also head north to the more favourable North Easterly trades, but this means crossing a massive windless area of high pressure.
Unicef, currently in eighth, has made the boldest tactical decision over the last 24 hours, choosing to head east of the remote Feni Islands as the rest of the fleet keeps them to starboard. On board, Skipper Bob Beggs reports that the team is refocusing on the race ahead but is looking forward to getting to Qingdao where the temperatures will be significantly cooler.
Towards the back of the fleet, Liverpool 2018 takes ninth place with HotelPlanner.com, in tenth, some 55nm behind and eleventh placed GREAT Britain another 50nm further back.
Looking ahead, the next big tactical decision for the fleet will be deciding on the best approach to head towards the upcoming Scoring Gate. It will then be interesting, given such a compact front half of the fleet, to note which teams decide to break away from the most direct route of the rhumb line to seek the bonus points.
Teams should also notice the unpredictable weather forecast, which has made tactical decisions so difficult, ease off as weather will become more obviously driven by the larger systems and not by more localised heat effects in the Solomon Sea.
Beginning January 30, Race 7 of the 13 stage Clipper 2017-18 Round the World Yacht Race will see the fleet race 4280nm to Sanya, China. From there teams will race onwards to Qingdao, also in China; across the North Pacific Ocean to Seattle, and through the Panama Canal to New York.
The course to Sanya is expected to take between 23 to 27 days, with the fleet expected to arrive into the Sanya Serenity Marina between February 21 and 25. | c4 | 4 | 2 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUbdo5qdmB6uAds4R1 | Review: The Insta360 ONE is a fantastic way to capture experiences with your iPhone [Video]
- Mar. 29th 2018 10:49 am PT
I love my drone, but I knew when I bought it that it was only going to be a matter of time before countries started clamping down on them. Sadly, that proved to be the case when I spent a few days in Iceland. Everywhere I went, there were No Drone signs. I carried it around with me, but didn't get to use it even once.
Fortunately, I did have another interesting gadget on me – one initially exclusive to the Apple Store: the Insta360 ONE camera. This is a 360-degree 4K video camera that plugs into the Lightning socket of an iPhone. You can either shoot like this, or you can put the camera on a selfie stick and then plug it into the iPhone to edit and upload your footage.
This proved a fantastic way to capture experiences, and in terms of getting unusual and engaging video, it's the next best thing to a drone …
The camera measures a little under 4 inches long by 1.5 inches wide by 1 inch deep, and weighs just under 3 ounces. It slips easily into any pocket.
It's all black, with a matte finish surround and glossy front and back. There's a logo and '4K UHD' motif on one side and an Insta360 ONE label on the other. On the bottom is a catch you release to flip out the Lightning plug, with a microUSB socket next to it for charging the camera. At one end is a microSD card slot (8GB card supplied), and a tripod mount. At the other end is a microphone.
Finally, there are bulbous lenses on each side.
It feels pretty much like any other black plastic gadget, and has a somewhat anonymous look. I don't think you'd guess what it is by looking at it, other than seeing it as some kind of camera, maybe a webcam.
The Insta360 ONE is compatible with the iPhone X, iPhone8/Plus, iPhone 7/Plus, iPhone 6s/Plus, iPhone 6/Plus and iPhone SE. It also works with all iPads from the iPad Air 2 on.
The camera shoots 24MP stills, and offers a choice of three video formats:
3840×1920@30fps
2048×512@120fps
It captures footage to a microSD card (up to 128GB), and can livestream in 4K to YouTube, Facebook, Periscope, Twitter and Weibo.
It has two f/2.2 lenses on opposite sides of the camera, offering a fully spherical view, and the sensor is a Sony 1/2.3-inch CMOS one that performs remarkably well. It also has a 6-axis gyro for stabilization.
There's a flip-out Lightning connector, and a standard tripod mount on the bottom of the camera. On the top is a combined power/function button.
Claimed battery-life is 70 minutes. I was shooting just short clips, but with editing it probably saw close to an hour's use on a single charge.
Working temperature range is 14-113F/-14-45C. I used it happily in -6C temps. It's not waterproof, but there's an optional fully-waterproof case, and it survived being sprayed by steam from a hot geyser without complaint.
The companion app offers a SmartTrack feature, where you shoot first, then tap on a person or vehicle, and the default view will follow them. Finally, there's a 'pivot' view where you can tap different things to have the default view turn to face them.
The Apple Store still has an exclusive bundle, with a protective case, mini-tripod, selfie-stick and handle for 'bullet' shots, where you swing the camera around your head to get drone-like footage.
Here's the company's demo of 'bullet time':
To film via the iPhone, you just flip out the Lightning plug and connect it to your phone. Plugging it into your iPhone does two things: it automatically switches on the camera and opens the app, making it super-convenient. It defaults to photo mode, just like the stock camera app, while tapping the camcorder icon puts it into video mode.
However, while the ease of shooting directly on the iPhone is a selling-point, at eye level a large chunk of your 360 video is going to be your own face. In most cases, you'll want it held up high above your head – and that means taking it off the camera and using it on a selfie-stick.
With a selfie-stick, you screw into the tripod mount on the right of the camera, which then becomes the bottom as you use it in vertical mode. Camera orientation makes no difference to the video capture. In this mode, a single tap of the button switches it on.
One gripe I do have is that it's way too easy to switch the camera on by accident when getting it out of a pocket or putting it away again. Once switched on, a single tap of the button takes a photo, while a double-tap shoots video – indicated by a flashing green LED. A triple-tap defaults to a self-timer photo, but you can configure this in the app.
You can also shoot hand-held, but this is very much an option of last resort as you'll see in an example below.
Viewing the footage
You can view and edit the footage in the Insta360 ONE app. Once done, there are a number of options for sharing your footage:
Insta360 community
You can also download the footage to the iPhone's Photos app, but this isn't recognized as a 360-degree video, so you just end up with a weirdly-distorted panoramic video.
On desktop, you use your mouse to scroll the video left, right, up or down. On mobile, you can do the same with your finger, but a far more intuitive method is simply to orientate the iPhone or iPad in the direction you want to look.
Sample footage
Note: On a mobile device, you need to open the videos in the YouTube app. To do so, press play than tap the YouTube label lower-right.
You can use the Insta360 as a static camera. For example, I visited Geysir, the site of a number of active geysers. The Great Geysir, which gives the location its name, is now relatively inactive, but the nearby Strokkur geyser erupts reliably every 3-8 minutes, water reaching up to 100 feet into the air.
I simply put the Insta360 on a selfie stick, extended it to the maximum height above me and then waited. In the footage below, you can see the geyser erupt, but also pan around to see the reactions of the other visitors.
One benefit was immediately apparent: I was shooting conventional video as well, but wasn't prepared for how high the water would go, so it went out of frame. With the Insta360 footage, you can simply look up to see the top of the fountain.
It was a horribly murky day, and photos were pointless: you were just looking at grey water against a grey sky. Similarly with conventional video. But with the 360-degree video, and the ability to pan around to see reactions, the Insta360 ONE provides much more interesting footage.
For me, it really brings back the experience of being there. But in a sense, it goes one better than that, as it allows me to see things I didn't see at the time – like the view behind me.
Next up is a horse-ride. This was the first time I'd ever ridden a horse, and I wasn't allowed to take a selfie-stick, so the best I could do was to hold the camera above my head with my hand. Our guide soon spotted this complete beginner holding on with one hand and very politely told me off, offering to film a clip herself.
I said that handheld use is a last resort, and you'll see why below. But aside from the giant, split hand blocking part of the view, the footage is again really engaging, and brings back the experience of being there. You can see also the stitch between the two 180-degree images, appearing as a wavy line, so the lesson from this is you do want to orientate the camera front/back as much as is practical.
Finally, a moving shot with a selfie-stick. We took a snowmobile ride on the Langjökull glacier. This is the second-largest ice-cap in Iceland, and can be reached only by monster truck.
We were in a group on rented snowmobiles, so couldn't go very fast most of the time, so I just held back and did quick bursts of acceleration. My partner, riding pillion, wasn't totally sold on the idea of either of us holding a selfie-stick at speed, so this is one of the slower sections, but still gives a good sense of the experience.
The 'front' of the camera is facing backwards, so the default view is to the rear, but you can of course change that as you view.
One thing you'll notice: the selfie-stick is almost invisible. This is something the company has worked hard at, and while it's not perfect, it's very impressive.
If I were doing this kind of shot again (and I very much hope to – snowmobiling is great fun!), I'd try sticking the selfie-stick down the back of my jacket: a huge benefit of 360-degree video is that you don't have to worry about camera alignment.
Sharing your footage
Most video-sharing platforms now recognize 360-degree video, so you can simply upload the spherical image and viewers can then control the viewpoint.
The above samples are, as you can see, YouTube videos. I also shared clips to Facebook, and in neither case did I have to do anything special – they Just Worked.
Simulating multiple cameras
There's one other thing you can do with 360-degree footage, and that's simulate multiple camera angles. By importing the footage into a 360-aware video editor – like the current version of Final Cut Pro X – you can effectively convert spherical footage into a series of wide-angle flat clips. This can also be done in the company's free Insta360 Studio app, or even at a push in the iOS app.
In this way, you could, in theory, shoot with a single camera and then choose your angles afterwards: front-facing, rear-facing, straight down and so on.
I say 'in theory' because even 4K is limited resolution to work with when you're selecting what is a relatively small crop from the 360-degree image. This means you can't get 1080p crops out of the 4K file, so the final result is rather low resolution:
But that's still an incredible achievement from a single camera. With enough resolution, you could create a multi-viewpoint video that currently requires a whole array of cameras.
For those interested in how the video was made, I'll write a Final Cut Pro X Diary piece later describing the process.
The biggest downside is the iOS app. The pre-release version was horribly flakey and at times unusable. The release version is a lot more stable, but still buggy, and the user interface needs a lot of work. It's also very slow when scrolling through 4K video, even using the iPhone X. That said, it is usable once you get the hang of it.
You do need a selfie-stick to get the most from the camera. I usually travel handbaggage-only, where this wouldn't get past Security, but it doesn't add much to the cost of a trip to buy a cheap one on arrival.
As mentioned, the resolution isn't high enough to simulate multiple camera angles, but it does show what will be possible with the right kit.
Finally, the Insta360 ONE is not waterproof without a case, but the naked camera does seem to cope with spray.
Pricing & conclusions
The Insta360 ONE camera is available on its own for $299, or in an Apple Store bundle for $329:
The camera
Selfie-stick
Mini-tripod
MicroUSB cable
By iPhone accessory standards, it's expensive. By action-cam standards, the pricing is nothing out of the ordinary. And this is, in my view, an absolutely fantastic action cam.
I think 360-degree footage gives other people a really great sense of what it was like to be there, unlike anything else, and it gives the owner a powerful way to bring back all the memories.
I have to say, I absolutely love this gadget. In one trip, the Insta360 ONE went from being an interesting novelty to something I now consider an indispensable part of my travel kit. I won't be leaving the country without it.
The Insta360 ONE Camera Bundle is available from Amazon for $299, or as a $329 bundle from the Apple Store.

BkiUf2g25V5jgmwVpyj0 | Unsatisfied with display ad results, advertisers have gravitated toward a new trend in internet marketing: native advertising. Appropriately named, native advertising "goes native" in a sense that it adjusts to its surroundings. Though no concrete definition exists for the term, it's basically content-based ads that are integrated within the editorial feed.
This infographic from Solve Media offers a comprehensive overview of native advertising and its function for marketers.
Generally, native ads are more engaging, drive higher brand lift, and are consumed the same way in which people view editorial content. Consumers look at native ads 52% more frequently than banner ads and 32% would share a native ad with family and friends. Additionally, 21% more people personally identified with the brand after viewing a native ad. With these statistics, it's no wonder that an increasing number of marketers are shifting advertising dollars to this digital outlet.
Marketers are obviously looking for ways to build deeper engagement with customers—one prominent way of doing so is through online videos designed specifically as native advertising material. As more internet marketing options become available, banner ads seem shallow, outdated, and ineffective.
Some argue that display advertising is still relevant and effective but the way display ad performance is measured is not. Most marketers look at the click-through rate to determine display advertising effectiveness. However, comparing CTRs is only indicative of audience interest not the overall impact of the ad. Therefore, many still believe that display advertising works, but only when paired with tools that properly measure its impact.
Though the term "native advertising" hasn't been around long, TV commercials and print ads technically fall under its description. The way people consume television commercials is the same way they consume programming. Long copy print ads are native, for the same reason. Native ads fill up consumers' attention space and seamlessly flow into their online experiences.
Native advertising is an attempt to make online advertising as good as print or TV ads, and over time, this may become the case. Demand for native advertising is booming as ad executives pour money into this digital outlet. Practically everyone is doing it and the results are positive—so why not hop on the bandwagon and capitalize on the latest trend in online marketing? | c4 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUdro5qYVBjUFKblqO | Here at 200m2 we give our clients all the say in how they want their stand to look and what they want to be included. To aid this process we created our piece of design software called the X-Sketch, this allows our customers to customise and design their stands exactly how they want it.
Our modular stands mean that our customers can have greater control over their design and are able to be heavily involved in the process. This software is arguably the easiest piece of exhibition design software out there which means that anyone can use it.
Using this software, you can design and redesign your stand until it's 100% perfect for your business. You can reconfigure the stand yourself using the software which is made into a reality using our range of modular stands. We can create the stand that you design in real life.
You have complete flexibility and the freedom to create what you want with no input or all the input you need – whatever will work for you. This piece of software can be used as many times as you need to so you are able to redesign your modular stand virtually depending on your exhibition space. This allows you to prepare and plan for every exhibition using this one tool.
It is so easy to use and has a very intuitive layout to make this design tool accessible for all of our customers. We think that this piece of software is vital for our customers to use when designing their stands and also when preparing for shows, this is why we do not feel it would be right to charge you for our software. It is completely free to download and is compatible with both windows and mac computers.
You can even print off your designs to work from when you are assembling your stand at an exhibition. Why don't you have a go at designing your very own exhibition stand and see what you can create: Download here.
Designing your own exhibition stand is not everyone's cup of tea and some of you just may not have the time, we will design your stand for you free of charge if you do not want to design it yourselves. The choice is yours and there is no obligation even if we do design it for you!
It's a fact that most children would would prefer a trip to the fun fair over an extra maths lesson! You do not have to be a child psychologist to work this one out! But why? The answer is simply because kids love to be entertained!
As we grow into adults, we learn to suppress the constant need for entertainment. BUT… we certainly don't mind if some fun is brought into our professional lives either. It's no surprise that the 'corporate entertainment' sector is a massively profitable business sector in its own right!
The same principles can be applied to your exhibition stands. Keep people entertained and they'll stay for longer. Keep the experience interesting and visitors to your stand are much more likely to interact with you. Initiating a dialogue on an exhibition can often be the hardest part.
Used correctly, technology can unlock people's interest and start conversations which can lead to long-term business relationships. So what is the best way to integrate technology into your exhibition stands? Here are 200m2's 'Top Tips'!
Now known as augmented reality, the name doesn't change the fact that this innovative technology could prove highly effective at exhibitions. Augmented reality allows exhibitors to give customers tours and demonstrations of facilities and products that are too big, or noisy, to be able to physically bring to their display stand. Whilst this creates a very memorable experience, this method can also present much more details when compared to traditional charts and product brochures.
Is Twitter the best social media platform for exhibitions? Absolutely not! But Twitter is a far more immediate form of social media and it can be extremely engaging. Create your own #hashtag to create a discussion around a particular stand.
Exhibitions are fantastic opportunities to unveil products. This is because there is already an air of excitement surrounding major events and exhibitions. Capitalise on this opportunity by creating mobile apps that people visiting a stand can download. Aside from offering information and promotions, companies can use mobile platforms for future marketing efforts.
Using large electronic screens to display animated logos is not only useful for catching people's eyes. The screens can be used for a variety of other purposes. If the products on your exhibition stand require explanation, you can use screens for presentations. You might also want to use the screens to display information via the company's website, blog etc.
If there is a large amount of attention surrounding your display, you can retain the interest of people on the outskirts of the crowd by showing interesting video content on your display screens. This can be footage that was shot prior to the event, feature interviews or event product demonstrations.
If you like the idea of using technology to appeal to people's inate need for excitement, 200m2 can certainly help. For more information, give us a call on +44 (0)20 333 200 92.

In 2016, more and more exhibitors have invested in technological innovations to drive engagement on their exhibition stands. It has also given marketers the chance to trial new engagement tools that would not have been thought possible only a few of years ago.
Here are some of the latest technologies to consider integrating into your exhibition stands!
Advertising your brand at a trade show is imperative, but branding is useless if you aren't properly explaining what you do. Interactive walls, floors or screens can engage visitors by allowing them to quickly understand your business and quickly connect with your products or services.
You can also reduce the need for repetitive sales messaging through the use of interactive technology. Interactive screens can display vital information using eye-catching graphics, images or videos. These can be used to engage with numerous customers simultaneously.
Augmented reality enables us to overlay computer-generated graphics on top of images of the real world. It includes scanning the real-world environment and enhancing it by adding virtual information.
Why is this important? Well, it gives us a chance to show how things could look in the future; it's a chance to provide a glimse of a better more advanced world.
Quick response (QR) codes offer fast and reliable links to your website, online material or mobile apps. QR codes are immediately saved on the mobile device's memory so that the user can return to your information after the event.
Triggered technology can transform an exhibition stand into an attraction. Light, sound, video and special effects can all be good attention-grabbers, particularly when triggered by visitor action such as walking past a sensor for example. Using multiple senses is proven to evoke emotionally charged memories, making your brand more memorable.
As one of Europe's leaders in exhibition stand design, we regularly work with our clients to adopt new exhibition technologies. Contact us on 020 333 200 92 to find out more.
Exhibition Stand Wi-Fi: The key to success?
Already the world's largest technology show, the three-day Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2016 in Las Vegas will be the biggest in the event's 49-year history. Over 150,000 people are expected from 150 countries.
The theme of CES 2016 seems to be 'smart' everything. Think 'smart' and it seems you will find it everywhere: smart scales, smart thermometers, smart suit steamers, smart pill packs, smart ski jackets, and the world's first smart shoe, the Digitsole.
It seems that the world is set to run and be controlled by the smart phone. Very soon we will even be able to control smart cameras in our fridges. Never again will we have to wonder whether we have run out of milk!
However, one thing underpins all this technology and that is the ability to transmit and receive data. And in most cases this means Wi-Fi. Logically therefore, every single exhibition stand at CES 2016 is going to be totally dependent on the Wi-Fi infrastructure within the exhibition hall. Without reliable Wi-Fi, exhibitors will not be able to effectively demonstrate their products and sales may be lost as a consequence.
If connectivity is crucial for the success of your next exhibition, make sure you ask the organisers about the reliability and track record of their Wi-Fi service. That's because each time an exhibition hall is built up or broken down, the Wi-Fi signal will be affected as a result. What guarantees can they offer?
The alternative is to arrange for your own Wi-Fi service which is completely seperate from the service provided by the ehibition venue. This will give you useful redundancy if the hotspot provided by the venue struggles to cope.
As one of the leading exhibition stand contractors in the UK, 200m2 can help ensure your Wi-Fi signal won't let you down when it really counts. To discuss this or an other aspect of your exhibition stand programme, please call us on 020 333 200 92.

BkiUcWvxK6nrxrSHenAH | Q: Can somebody recommend a UPS which would allow me to powercycle devices via IP? I need to purchase a UPS which I can manage remotely and powercycle individual items on via some sort of IP interface.
The unit doesn't need to be that powerful, 750 Va would suffice, but the IP interface is extremely important.
Thanks in advance.
A: I've had excellent results with this: http://www.digital-loggers.com/epcr2.html. It's flexible, reliable, and inexpensive. Also, the company is responsive. This isn't a UPS, but you can put it between a UPS and whatever equipment is powered by the UPS.

BkiUdbM5qsMAIw7A6WgW | Jacques Saunière, a renowned curator at the Louvre, is working late at the museum. He is being chased by a large albino man. The albino has discovered some information that Jacques has apparently guarded very carefully. The man tries to extract the remaining information from Jacques. Finally, Jacques tells the man he will share the secret. Jacques recites a carefully rehearsed lie.
The albino is satisfied because "the others" have given him the same information. Jacques is shocked because this means that the albino has uncovered his true identity, as well as the true identities of his three sénéchaux. The albino shoots Jacques in the stomach. As he lay dying in the Grand Gallery, Jacques thinks about how he must pass on the true secret or it will die with him. There is only one person he can share the secret with and the only tools he has are the paintings.
In a novel, the prologue is a section that offers introductory information before the exposition. Unlike the exposition, which offers background information on the main characters and critical aspects of the plot, this prologue works to grab the reader's attention. These last minutes of Jacques's life provide a mystery that will fuel the exposition: throughout the exposition, we learn about the main characters as they try to solve the mysterious final moments of Jacques's life.
Robert Langdon, an American professor from Harvard, is awakened in the middle of the night by a phone call. Langdon is staying at the Ritz in Paris where he has just delivered a lecture on religious symbology. The phone call is from the concierge who tells Langdon there is a very important man who wants to see him. Langdon asks the concierge to take the man's number so he can call him the following day. Minutes later, the concierge calls again to tell Langdon that the visitor is coming to his room.
Soon after, Lieutenant Jérôme Collet knocks at Langdon's door. Collet works for the DCPJ, the French equivalent of the U.S. FBI. Collet says he has been sent to ask for Langdon's help in investigating the death of Jacques Saunière. The DCPJ learned from Jacques Saunière's date-book that he was scheduled to meet with Langdon that evening. Collet shows Langdon a strange picture of Jacques's corpse. Collet tells Langdon that Jacques situated himself in the odd position before he died.
Meanwhile the albino, whose name is Silas, returns to his bare room. He calls the Teacher to tell him that the three sénéchaux and the Grand Master are dead. Moreover, all four gave the same information before they died. Silas has learned from them that the keystone is located in the Church of Saint-Sulpice in Paris. The Teacher says he will arrange for Silas to enter the church. Before Silas goes to the church, he beats himself with a heavy, knotted rope as punishment for his sins. Although Silas already wears a cilice, he believes he must further purify himself.
Langdon and Collet arrive at the Louvre. Inside Langdon meets Captain Bezu Fache, who informs Langdon that the photograph is only the beginning of what Saunière did. Fache questions Langdon about his arranged meeting with Saunière that evening. Langdon tells Fache that he has never met Saunière and it was Saunière who requested the meeting, which never occurred. Langdon tells Fache that he was looking forward to meeting Saunière because Saunière was knowledgeable in the subject of Langdon's latest book. Langdon hesitates to explain that the book is about the iconography of goddess worship. As Langdon anticipates, Fache has difficulty understanding the controversial topic.
Langdon asks Fache if the security cameras throughout the Louvre are real. Fache says they are not. Instead, the Louvre has a security system which seeks to contain intruders by sealing off rooms and exits. As Fache and Langdon near the murder scene, Fache tells his officers not to bother them for any reason.
The same evening, Bishop Manuel Aringarosa, the president-general of Opus Dei (a notorious Catholic organization), boards a plane. Earlier, he received a call telling him the keystone has been located. The caller asks for his influence in gaining access to Saint-Sulpice that evening.
These chapters begin the novel's exposition, which lasts through chapter 20. The exposition is the section of a novel in which the main characters and main conflict are introduced. Any relevant background information is also given in this section. This novel will have two protagonists, or main characters who work to overcome some obstacle. In these chapters we meet the male protagonist, Robert Langdon.
We also meet the formidable Bezu Fache. We learn that his subordinates refer to him as "the bull." However, Brown leaves the meaning of his name, Fache, ambiguous. In French "fache" means angry. Often authors will use character's names to develop their characterization. In this case we should be aware that Brown presents Fache as an angry bull. As we will see, Fache is hot-tempered and stubborn.
In these chapters we are also introduced to an organization associated with the Catholic Church called Opus Dei. The web-site Brown gives, www.odan.org, supports much of his description of the organization.
In the exposition chapters Brown introduces a style of writing that supports the novel's mysterious, suspenseful tone. The chapters are short and filled with action; they constantly switch back and forth between various subplots which will converge. Brown frequently gives just enough information to keep the reader's attention, without revealing the whole story. For example, we learn that Saunière was found in an odd position but we do not learn how he arranged himself until a few chapters later. These techniques build suspense. | c4 | 5 | 3 | 5 | 3 |

It features the malagueta pepper, that close relative of the tabasco pepper. Variation: Make a paste by pureeing the peppers, garlic, onion, and salt in a blender. Add the lemon or lime juice and stir well.

BkiUfhnxK7kjXJwSTJev | It is hard to believe that it has already been 3 years since I was standing in front of my high school grad class speaking about our futures and what they might hold. A young adult excited to leave home and anxious to join a new team of amazing ski racers. When I joined the Alberta World Cup Academy in 2012, I was the baby of the team and it stayed that way for the past 3 year.
I was always one of the youngest and the first one to get my training hours reduced or to have an interval cut from the set but now the times are changing. This year I will no longer be the baby of our team; I am now one of the veterans. It sounds crazy when I say it to myself but it's true. The fact that my little sister is graduating high school this week has helped knock it into perspective.
It makes sense. I have gone through the drills, I know how the training works and now it is time for me to share my experiences with my younger teammates, the ones who like me three years ago are excited and anxious to start a new chapter.
My beautiful sister, Odessa, all ready for prom!
Got out for a great Mtn. bike ride with Kendra when I was home for Odessa's grad. Thank Icycle Sport for setting me up with an awesome Giant Trance for the day!!! Kendra's a great teacher!
This is a new era. This changing of the guard is marked with excitement but also sadness as I am losing many of the teammates who have been part of the building blocks of my ski career. The ladies who have showed me how to train at the next level. Two of my closest teammates have both gone different ways this season. Alysson has moved on to her studies and away from skiing and Heidi has moved to Switzerland to race for the Swiss National Team. I am so excited for them both on their new adventure, but the selfish part inside of me wishes they were still around to train with me.
Heidi has been part of my ski development since the very first time I represented Canada when I was 15-years-old. She has always been there for me in foreign countries and on long summer workouts for our front door. It is fair to say that I might not be where I am today if it weren't for Heidi's friendship. I am sad to lose her as a teammate in Canada but I can't wait to visit her in Davos and be training partners again on the World Cup!
Heidi and I watching the sprint heats at the Lahti World Cup.
Next time we will be racing those heats Heids!!! I hope you are loving Switzerland. I miss you.
I am lucky to have an amazing training partner in Emily who has transitioned to the National Team full time but is still there to push me in training.
With those three amazing ladies moving on from the Academy there will be an injection of youth to the team. Delphine and Alex two of my new teammates are fresh out of high school and I can't wait for the chance to train with a new group of girls, younger and older!
This spring marks the start of a new era not only for the team but for me as well. Over the winter I was struggling with a shoulder injury that was triggered in mid January and caused me pain and frustration all the way until the end of the season. Although injuries are never warmly welcomed I am starting to think of this shoulder injury as a blessing in disguise. It is forcing me to focus on my posture and the mechanics of my body. I am relearning how to stand which seems simple but I think it will have a big impact on my technique going forward!
My shoulder is still painful once in a while so my training has to be adjusted to try to minimize pain. However, I am starting to see the changes from all the physio exercises I have been doing.
I successfully did a double poling intensity without any pain last week so things are going well! I am back in Canmore now after a short visit home for my sisters graduation and am looking forward to the end of June when the rest of Canada will be coming to Canmore for one big Canadian development centre training camp. Looking forward to seeing everyone!!!
Team days 🇨🇦❤️💃🏼 Team sprint ✔️ Relay ✔️ Fun racing with these speedy women this week! Also happy to have my best feeling so far this championship today on the anchor leg of our relay. 30km skate on Saturday, then homeward bound! | c4 | 4 | 1 | 4 | 1 |

BkiUaWk25V5hcJY56gj6 | You are here: Home / Resources / Ran out of Event Entertainment Ideas? Take a Look at These 4 Options!
It is hard to come up with event entertainment ideas when everybody seems to be doing the same thing.
However, hosting an event for corporate isn't all about being unique. Sure, it can be an advantage to try something new, but it does not always work out for the best.
Why complicate things with event entertainment ideas that are impractical? Alternatively, ones that would only interest a niche audience?
Don't choose some expensive fire dancing jugglers or other eccentric ideas in your quest to be different. You might think otherwise, but people enjoy the familiarity.
Go the traditional way! A comedian such as Louie Anderson can be your chance for some family entertainment – especially if your crowd enjoys the idea of clean humor.
However, either way, he is a very versatile comedian and can easily tailor his routine according to your wishes.
Whether you want to make light of your field of activity or want some quirky family life stories, Louie is your guy.
While comedians are good for a few hours of chuckles, they often leave people wanting more.
If your event entertainment ideas also involve inspiring your audience towards greatness, a motivational speaker would be a good choice.
Moreover, the best part is that you do not have to skip out on the humor!
Jim "The Rookie" Morris, for example, is a inspiring character. His life story is filled with failures followed by great successes. He uses examples from his life to motivate people in any aspect (from business to family).
He often puts a humorous twist on his tales of success, so the inspiration does not get the best of your emotional side.
3. Still Want Unique Event Entertainment Ideas? Try Painting Your Event!
Yes, it is exactly how the title sounds. Well, maybe not exactly. A team of painters will not suddenly burst on the scene and start coloring your audience.
Heidi Schwartz will be the resident artist at your corporate event. What better way to remember the fun times and company successes than through a painting?
Sure you could just hire a professional photographer to capture your team. However, most people do not enjoy forced photographs. Or they're simply camera-shy.
Either way, Heidi can take away that feeling of shyness from your crew. Moreover, besides, a few photos can only convey so much meaning.
Your painting could tell a whole story that no photograph can ever hope to achieve.
4. Want Something Spectacular? How Does a Magician Sound?
Nobody should forget the impressive power of magic tricks. While your team may have gotten themselves a career and family, it is important to remember your inner child.
No matter how cheesy that sounds.
Justin Flom has a YouTube channel with over 5 million views, dedicated to his magic. Now you know what to expect from such an entertainer.
He has been featured on the Ellen DeGeneres Show, so you know he is doing something right.
If you are still in doubt about what your company might enjoy, you can contact us, and we will be happy to help out. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUdCLxaKgTvXx06r5A | Its no secret that Budapest is my favorite city in the entire world. Brimming with trendy, tasty restaurants, great cultural and historical landmarks and tours, amazing bars and clubs, and a very picturesque downtown area, Budapest really gives the traveler the whole package. Its also extremely affordable, and you get a lot for your money! Whether you'd rather spend the day touring museums, eating your way through the city or relaxing at one of the many beautiful thermal spas, Budapest always has something great on offer, and you'll find yourself wanting to come back again and again.
Budapest offers a lot of free walking tours, hosted by the Free Walking Tour company (no surprise there). These tours are super high-value, and last for 2.5-3 hours each. They offer a city walking tour, a communism walking tour, a Jewish Quarter tour, a pub tour (which is apparently different from a pub crawl), and a variety of private paid tours as well. These tour guides work for tips only, so make sure to toss them a few thousand forint for their effort (1,000-2,000 ft or US$4-8 is an average tip, and a good bargain to boot). The guides are friendly, funny and extremely knowledgable, and their tours are both educational and interesting. The free tours start at Vorosmarty Ter, which is near the Jewish Quarter and the river and marks the end of the Yellow Line of the Metro.
Going to the baths is an amazing way to spend a day. The baths offer a ft 4,000 (~US$16) day pass to go into the spas, though they will try and get you to take a tour for a much, much higher price (~US$40/day and upwards). These baths are beautiful, relaxing and you can choose whether you want to experience the outdoor baths, the indoor baths or both! You can also choose to add on massages or other services while you're there, and its a great way to spend the day. Pair it with a nice walk around the surrounding park and you've got your morning/day sorted!

Tons of boat companies offer cruises and tours along the river. My personal favorites are the night cruises, where you can see Parliament and Buda Castle lit up at night. Most tours include a free drink. During the day time you can take a trip to the Margit Island, where you can go walking or biking. Your boat should come back to pick you up around an hour to an hour and a half later.
Take an afternoon to go explore Castle Hill and the surrounding areas and you'll be rewarded with stunning views of the city. There's also an open-air exhibit about what Castle Hill looked like after the bombings during WWII, which you can take a casual stroll through free of cost. There's a funicular that can take you up and down the hill, but there are also stairs, which are free and only take seven or so minutes to climb up.You can also take a look at Matthias Church, which has some pretty cool features and might be worth the entry fee. Hint: the views of Budapest from the pavilion by Matthias Church can't be beaten, and you can see them for free!
Free and open-air Heroes Square is one of Budapest's must-see sites. It sits at the end of Andrassy Boulevard, and can be seen on the way to the spas and the park.
A moving museum about the history of Hungary during and after Nazi and Soviet occupation. Sobering and well worth the look, but sometimes a little bit difficult to follow for English speakers.
A good activity for those who like caving, but not great if you're claustrophobic or afraid of the dark.
In Budapest, you can get Opera tickets for as little as $3, which is great if you're on a budget but interested in getting a bit of culture. Other tickets can be more expensive, and if you really want a comfortable seat and a good view, its worth it to pay a little more for your ticket.
The Budapest Zoo and Botanic Garden are a single item that are definitely worth a look if you have an extra morning or afternoon. It costs 2500 HUF, or US$10. There's a lot of cool species in there, some of which I'd never even heard of before! Bonus feature: they have an Australian-themed petting zoo with wallabies and emus.
The name of this site is essentially what it is, but the museum itself offers an in-depth look at what happened to Hungary's Jewish population during the second world war and the Holocaust. Its a little far out on the Buda side of town, but worth a look if you're interested.
Eating in Budapest is always a treat, with hundreds of fantastic restaurants, food stalls and pubs to eat at. The city itself is multi-cultural and enjoys the gastronomical rewards. Authentic Hungarian food cooked in lard, The following are a few of my tried-and-true favorites, and will accommodate most tastes and dietary restrictions.
KisParazs is a Hungarian-run Thai food restaurant with some of the best Thai food I've ever had, superseding even a good amount of the food I had while actually in Thailand. Fresh, flavorful and cheap, this is one of my favorite restaurants in the entire world. I recommend the Tom Kha Gai soup, which my dad claims is the "best he ever had," as a starter, followed by any one of the curries. If you like spice, I'd recommend the Lap Gai (minced chicken salad). My go-to dish there is their rice-noodle soup with chicken or pork, and their peanut sauce for chicken sate is out of this world as well.
Located in the Jewish District on Kazinczy Utca, this restaurant was an absolute gem! The interior sports a cozy vintage look, and the menu is smallish but jam-packed with gluten free, vegetarian and kosher-friendly options. The food itself is fantastic, starting with a complimentary basket of homemade bread with a garlicky spread. I can personally and wholeheartedly recommend the farm chicken with fresh sheep cheese and roast pepper salad, which also comes with potatoes (but I'd order the mashed potatoes instead, which are out of this world!). The portions are good-sized and I even had some to take home with me for lunch the next day.
Another great choice, especially for lunch. Arriba has a variety of Chipotle-esque Mexican dishes, including taquitos, burritos, chips and salsa and quesadillas. They also have a margarita happy hour, which accompanies the food fabulously.
The Central Market: The ground floor of the market has a variety of sausages, cheeses, fruits, vegetables, spices and sweets, and the top part has knick-knacks and some really tasty prepared food stalls. A good place to pick up ingredients for a picnic lunch!
Located in Elizabeth Square/Park, Terminal now stands where a communist-era bus station once stood. The food is a little pricy, but was some of the best food we ate on our whole trip! I had the duck breast with quinoa and pomegranate beetroot, which I'd highly recommend, and had their sparkling rose wine as well, which was equally fantastic. They even had a gluten-free raspberry cake for dessert, which was right up my alley!
For backpackers: I will always and forever recommend the Budapest Party Hostels. When I first came to Budapest in 2013, I'd booked four nights in at Retox Party Hostel and made myself at home. Two weeks later I was still there, and two months later I came back for more. The staff at the hostels are amazing, inclusive, informative and most definitely know how to have a good time. The hostels run events nightly, including pub crawls, party boats down the Danube, and spa parties at the beautiful Szechenyi Baths. Retox itself can be a little rough around the edges and very full-on when it comes to partying, but there are other hostels in the chain, including Grandio and Vitae, that may offer tamer experiences. If you're not looking to go out at all, I'd suggest Wombats or somewhere a little more low-key.
For non-backpackers: The 7Seasons apartments are a great choice for a stay in Budapest. The apartments are fairly spacious, and include full kitchens with dishwashers, ensuite bathrooms, an in-room washing machine, large, plush beds, fast and free wifi, and televisions, though we weren't able to figure out how to get them to be dubbed into English instead of Hungarian. The apartments are conveniently located in the Jewish Quarter, a five minute walk from Erzsebet Ter, a 0-10 minute walk away from some amazing restaurants (including Köleves Vendéglö, which I talk about in more detail below), a 10 minute walk from the river and Chain Bridge, and short walks to many other attractions. Relatively inexpensive and a great value.
There are literally hundreds or thousands of places to go out in Budapest, so I'll just name a few of my favorites. Most of my going-out experiences were with Retox Party Hostel, and they definitely did things right!
Ruin Bars: Szimpla is one of the bigger and better-known ruin bars in Budapest, but there are apparently more than 50 in total. You can do a ruin bar pub crawl with a group or simply create your own. Another one of my favorite ruin bars is Instant, which is decorated with some out-there, funky art installations.
Akvarium Club: Located near Terminal in Elizabeth Ter (metro stop Deak Ter), this is a nice, retro-themed place to get a drink. You can sit outside on the stairs or inside if its cold, but its definitely a nice place to hang out.
Retox Bar: Probably an obvious recommendation, but Retox has a nice bar, English-speaking bar staff, yummy cocktails and good prices.
Corvin Tetö: A kind of generic club that usually does some pretty decent music. All in all not a bad night out, especially as it gets later!
Vak Egar: A fun little bar/mini-club in the Jewish District.
SPArty: The Szechneyi Baths host a spa party on Saturday nights in warm weather. Its like a massive pool party rave and its pretty unreal, definitely recommended for backpackers and young people!
Party Boat: Cruise down the Danube with a bottle of champagne! Its a good time and an absolutely beautiful boat ride.
Going out tip: this tip is probably more pertinent to men than woman, but I don't judge! Strip clubs in Budapest are a massive scam; the girls will try to get you to buy them drinks, then will essentially have bouncers trap you in there until you pay them upwards of 50,000 HUF (US$200). Hungarian bouncers are not people to f**k with, so just stay away!
Going out tip #2: On a similar theme, don't be an a**hole. As I said before, Hungarian bouncers are not people you want to mess around with, and they will be firm with you if you're being problematic.
Going out tip #3: Be sure you know how to get home before you go out! Budapest can e a confusing city, so keep your wits about you enough to get home. Also, refrain from taking your valuables with you, as you likely won't have them any more by the time you stumble home.

1. Budapest is a very safe city. All the same, it's always a good idea to be aware of yourself and of your surroundings, so stay alert and you should be fine! As always, don't keep phones or wallets in your back pocket and count your change carefully.
2. Taking public transport in Budapest makes traveling in the city a breeze, but it takes a little getting used to! If you have a big day planned, its best to buy a day pass instead of single tickets. A day pass (and the single tickets) are appropriate for any of the city's public transportation units, including the metro, trams and busses. If using a single ticket, you will need a new ticket for every stop you make, and will need to validate a new ticket every time you make a stop or change trains/trams/busses. If you get a day pass you only need to validate it once, but be sure to keep it on you the entire time you're traveling. You can get fined for not having a valid ticket, and it's not a scam!
3. Watch your zeros! Any time you get a bill, make sure there's the proper number of zeros at the end of the prices listed for your purchases. Adding zeros is a super sneaky way to get a lot more money out of you, and its an easy way to prevent being scammed.
4. Check your restaurant bills to see if service has been added. Customary tipping in Budapest is about 10%, and a lot of the time it will be added to the bill in advance. If it has, you do not need to tip extra.
5. Do the free walking tours! They're super informative and the guides are all great. Just be sure to tip your guides at the end!
6. Eat in the Jewish Quarter. The food there is amazing and a little bit cheaper than some other more touristed areas.
7. Don't cross the street on a red light! Always wait for the little green walker dude, he'll save you from getting any pesky USD$50 fines.
Hopefully this guide gave you some good basic information about what's what in Budapest! These are obviously just recommendations, but I think they're all pretty solid. I can personally attest to the awesomeness of all these things, and if you have any questions please fire away in the comments section! I'd be happy to help you out and hope that someday soon you'll be enjoying Budapest, too! | c4 | 4 | 1 | 4 | 1 |

John Rogers Comments on Molson Coors Brewing Co.
GE has a history of negative free cash flow, negative operating cash and debt up to their eyeballs. With these many negatives, why would anyone buy such a company? Buffet's first rule of investing is don't lose money. And, his second rule of investing is don't forget rule one.
Keeley Funds Comments on Tapestry Inc.
I have to say Buffett does not follow these rules himself. He owns about 10% of each of the 4 major airlines in the country. All of huge debtloads and their earnings are highly cyclical.
Looked fairly valued when I looked at it with a price/share of $8. Unfortunately, it falls into the cheap-for-a-reason bucket due to the real problems that exist within the organization, which showed itself when management wrote down over $1 bil. (Billion with a B) of assets and cleaned house with directors/executives. Lots of directors have been on board for less than 2 years, and Dinesh Lathi (new CEO) has only been with company less than 2 years, he is young, and his CEO record (One Kings Lane) is not good. Management is a big one for me, so this is a pass.

I just looked at all the grill recipes on this site. It is really very fast and convenient. When you grill, you eat less fat because the excess drips off the grates. Think about cooking a burger on the grill versus in a pan on your stove-top. I have been choosing a wood pellet grill for a long time and read reviews about on the site wood pellet grill reviews to be sure that this purchase will serve me for many years. On the grill, the fat cooks off. In a pan on the cooktop, the fat has nowhere to go, so it pools and is eventually re-absorbed by the meat.
Great insight, Batbeer! It is an interesting challenge and I will work on it over the next few days. In the meantime, I welcome other contributions and pass along the old observation that Costco is actually a pseudo-bank, given its one-month float on the revenue it collects on product sales (membership fees are another category, of course).

BkiUdjI4uBhjCUQN8OOJ | I'm taking a break from my weekly View From Section U to, frankly, think of my next topic. As we turn the corner to August and the end of Summer I want to start to focus on next season. However, I'm really hoping the online roster gets updated soon so I know exactly what we're looking at come October and so I can properly preview the team to be. I fully expect some players will not be returning from next year and I've already heard rumors of freshmen not making it to campus this fall due to unforeseen circumstances. However, we'll know all that eventually.
There's really no UMass hockey news to pass along that I know of. Toot has his slightly reformulated staff in place and is likely on the road recruiting. Those that follow the current and incoming players on Twitter know that they're hard at work training. It's always nice to see hashtags like #legsfeedthewolf coming from some of the soon to be freshmen.
But while things are quiet, for now, surrounding the UMass hockey program, there are some tidbits to pass along from the world of college hockey.
In alumni news, Jon Quick was highlighted as one of the top shootout goaltenders in the NHL. It's fitting that the only game I've seen of Quick in the pros was a shootout win against the Bruins in the season before last.
After lounging all summer and losing some prize players and recruits Northeastern has finally realized that they just may need to hire a new coach for the coming season. The Husky program turns to Jim Madigan to continue to success they saw under Greg Cronin, but without the potential NCAA violations. If I were a Northeastern fan this hire would scare the hell out of me. Don't get me wrong, I always love to see alums take over at their alma mater and Madigan's history of scout shows he can judge talent. But the guy has never been a head coach at any level and was last an assistant coach almost 20 years ago. The Northeastern program scratched their way into the realm of relevance for Boston area hockey. It'll be interesting to see where they find themselves in a few years with this hire. College Hockey News' Joe Meloni has an interesting read on the hire.
Niagara, Canisius, Robert Morris, and Mercyhurst have had discussions with the CCHA about leaving Atlantic Hockey for the Midwest based conference. I think this is a great idea. These schools, especially Niagara, have shown sustained interest in putting more resources into their program but because of the rules of Atlantic Hockey are unable to offer the full allotment of scholarship allowed the NCAA. The AHA just recently voted down the prospect of raising the scholarship limit this past spring. I think some or all of this group jumping to the CCHA will do a good job of aligning like minded schools in regards to the goals for their hockey programs.
Former UMass grad assistant Darren Yopyk has taken a job as a scout for the Minnesota Wild. Yopyk, who was also an assistant for Merrimack, has been coaching the Westside Warriors of the BCHL. He coach incoming goaltenders Kevin Boyle there last season. | c4 | 4 | 2 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUdEY4eIXhyO7ADprF | EIA's January 2019 Short-Term Energy Outlook (STEO) expects several U.S. natural gas market trends from 2018 to continue into 2019 and 2020, including relatively stable Henry Hub natural gas prices and increasing natural gas production and exports.
EIA's January 2019 Short-Term Energy Outlook (STEO) expects several U.S. natural gas market trends from 2018 to continue into 2019 and 2020, including relatively stable Henry Hub natural gas prices and increasing natural gas production and exports. According to the STEO, total U.S. natural gas consumption is expected to increase slightly through 2020, with increases in the electric and industrial sectors offsetting decreases in the residential and commercial sectors.
EIA expects the U.S. benchmark Henry Hub natural gas spot price to average $2.89 per million British thermal units (MMBtu) in 2019 and $2.92/MMBtu in 2020, about 25 cents lower than the 2018 average of $3.15/MMBtu. Prices in the forecast are expected to be comparable with recent years as production growth largely keeps pace with demand and export growth. NYMEX trading during the five-day period ending January 10, 2019, suggests that a range of $1.85/MMBtu to $4.80/MMBtu encompasses the market expectation for Henry Hub prices in December 2019 at the 95% confidence level.
EIA expects record-high dry U.S. natural gas production to continue to grow through 2020, from an estimated 83.3 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) in 2018 to 90.2 Bcf/d in 2019 and 92.2 Bcf/d in 2020. Most U.S. production will come from the Appalachian Basin in the Northeast, followed by the Permian Basin in western Texas and eastern New Mexico and the Haynesville shale formation in eastern Texas. Factors supporting continued production growth include improved drilling efficiency and cost reductions in drilling and well completions, as well as increased takeaway capacity from the highly productive Appalachia and Permian production regions.
Total U.S. natural gas consumption remains relatively flat compared with 2018 levels in the STEO forecast, increasing 1.3% in 2019 and 1.1% in 2020 to a total of 83.6 Bcf/d in 2020. Natural gas consumption is projected to decrease slightly in the residential and commercial sectors, as expected milder weather will require less energy for space heating in the winter and air conditioning in the summer, largely based on temperature projections from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Decreases in those sectors will be offset by increased consumption in both the electric power and industrial sectors, both of which have added equipment or changed processes to consume more natural gas.
EIA expects a net increase in U.S. natural gas use in the electric power sector between 2018 and 2020 as natural gas-fired plant additions continue to displace coal-fired generation. During 2019, natural gas planned capacity additions will total 7.5 gigawatts (GW) in the United States, and 4.5 GW of coal-fired capacity will be taken offline. Natural gas will continue as the primary source of U.S. electricity generation, increasing from 35% in 2018 to 37% in 2020. According to the STEO forecast, coal-fired electricity generation will fall from 28% in 2018 to 24% in 2020.
Natural gas consumption in the U.S. industrial sector will continue to grow, increasing 2% in 2019 and 1% in 2020. This growth will be supported by new methanol plants that use natural gas feedstock, and these plants are scheduled to come online in 2019 and 2020.
EIA anticipates that the United States will continue to export more natural gas than it imports during the coming years as production continues to outpace domestic consumption. Most of the increase in natural gas exports will come from additional liquefied natural gas (LNG) capacity additions at the Cameron LNG and Freeport LNG facilities located along the Gulf Coast, and the Elba Island LNG facility in Georgia. EIA expects LNG exports to increase from an estimated 3.0 Bcf/d in 2018 to 5.1 Bcf/d in 2019 and up to 6.8 Bcf/d in 2020, more than double 2018 levels.
Gross exports of natural gas by pipeline will continue to grow according to the STEO, increasing to 8.1 Bcf/d in 2019 and 8.4 Bcf/d in 2020, or 19% higher than 2018 levels. Most of the increase will be driven by increasing natural gas demand and pipeline projects in Mexico that are scheduled to come online by the end of 2020. Imports of LNG are expected to remain flat through 2020, and decreases in imports by pipeline will continue as Appalachian production and takeaway capacity displace Canadian natural gas in the U.S. Midwest markets. | c4 | 5 | 4 | 5 | 2 |

Beach, fun, and music … everything we think of when we talk about Rimini, but your holiday on the Riviera will reserve you other pleasant surprises as well.
If you travel just a few kilometres into the Romagna countryside, you will be amazed by the characteristic stone hill top villages, where the views are breath-taking. Verucchio, Santarcangelo, Gradara, Saludecio, Mondaino… and other villages and castles in the Rimini countryside.
A centre of ancient origins, inhabited since prehistoric times. The first settlements date back to the Villanovans, whose remains are still preserved in the Archaeological Museum located in the Monastery of the Augustinian Fathers, one of the largest and best preserved Malatesta fortifications. Walking along the streets of the centre, you will reach the majestic Malatesta Fortress, which dominates the entire valley, from where you can admire splendid views, from the sea to the hills of San Leo and San Marino.
An ancient village situated on the peaks of the Marecchia Valley. It has been known since ancient times for its historical events and legends of alchemy. Recognized as one of the most beautiful villages in Italy, San Leo immediately captures the attention of visitors. San Leo welcomed people like Dante and St. Francis of Assisi, who received Mount La Verna as a gift while he was staying here. Devolved by the Papal State in 1631, San Leo became a harsh prison where, among others, the Count of Cagliostro (1795) and Felice Orsini (1844) ended their days.
The Gradara Fortress and fortified village are one of the best preserved medieval villages in the Marche and in Italy. Tradition has it that the Castle of Gradara, which was once governed by two different dynasties, the Malatesta and the Della Rovere, is the site of the love story between Paolo and Francesca, the two lovers that Dante placed in the circle of the lustful. Condemned to eternal damnation but also to eternal commemoration, these two characters are the symbol of pure and unconditional love.

BkiUdEvxK4tBVhat3yqR | Best Drunk Driving Crash Prevention Tips | Phoenix Personal Injury Law Blog - Breyer Law Offices, P.C.
At all times during the weekend, frustrated drivers, speeding drivers, road rage drivers, and drunk drivers are out in full force, and the latter could put you at serious risk for being involved in an Arizona drunk driving accident. If you're worried about being involved in a collision with a drunk driver, there are ways that you can prevent it. You could always stay inside and enjoy the nice, long weekend from the comfort of your bed. But if you have other plans, and those plans include going outside and having fun, especially at night, then you'll need to get acquainted with methods for keeping yourself and your passengers safe. Here are some questions you should ask yourself before hitting the road.
Will you be driving at night, and how often? If you are driving at night, you are likely to run into motorists who have spent the evening in a bar. And that means that you're likely to encounter a drunk driver or two.
Are you traveling in areas with multiple bars and clubs, and other establishments that serve alcohol? When you're traveling in areas that are high traffic for individuals who drink, you're more likely to come into contact, or close proximity to, drivers who have had too much to drink but think that they can make it home anyway.
How should you act when you're in close proximity to a drunk driver on the road? It's important to pull off the road, either by taking a side street or exit, or by pulling onto the shoulder; turn off your lights; and let the drunk driver pass you by. Never try to get their attention.
What if you have been drinking? If you've been drinking, get a friend or family member to come pick you up, hire a taxi, stay the night – basically, do anything besides driving.
The top injury lawyers at Breyer Law Offices, P.C. hope you heed this information and do whatever is necessary for your safety.

BkiUawXxK6wB9k0iJS-n | What to expect from Mahindra in Auto Expo 2020?
by M2ALL | Posted on January 30, 2020 February 5, 2020
With the Auto Expo 2020 only a week away, it is going to be an 'electrifying' affair, with a slew of electric vehicles (or EVs, as they are known) up for launch and preview. Known as Asia's biggest automotive show, Auto Expo 2020 is scheduled to take place between 7 February – 12 February, 2020 at the India Expo Mart in Greater Noida, Delhi NCR, the hub for any auto enthusiasts. Several Indian and international players like Maruti Suzuki, Kia, MG Hector, Skoda, Volkswagen, Mahindra, Renault and many more are going to bring out their big guns, with prime focus on EVs. Almost 90-100 new vehicles are scheduled to be unveiled in this biennial Auto mega-event.
While many carmakers are busy with new launches and facelifts, Mahindra is particularly going to have a rather busy 2020, with a whole new brigade of vehicles and concepts that will debut at the event. Veejay Ram Nakra, the Chief of Sales and Marketing, Automotive Division, Mahindra and Mahindra, said, "We are delighted to reveal our theme for Auto Expo 2020. At Mahindra, we are driven by the purpose for a tomorrow that is clean, green and technologically connected. Our upcoming display of electric passenger and mass mobility products, concepts and solutions will meet the needs of today and also position us for the future. We are fully prepared to complete our transition into the BS-VI era, and our display of BS-VI ready current and future engines will also demonstrate our commitment toward being future-ready." The launches include the next-gen Mahindra XUV500, Mahindra Scorpio, Mahindra Thar, and a new line of electric SUVs like the Mahindra XUV300, KUV100 and the concept-driven ATOM as well, striving for a more sustainable future. They will also reveal their BS6-compliant lineup of Mahindra SUVs and a whole lot of major and minor tweaks to the existing line of Mahindra cars.
Mahindra is also slated to unveil its BS6-compliant petrol engines, electric batteries to be used in its EVs, and charging station layouts as well. Here is a list of the SUVs that Mahindra is going to present at the Auto Expo 2020:
1. Next-Gen Mahindra Scorpio
One of the most recognizable and Iconic SUV in India, Mahindra Scorpio has seen many a changes since its launch in 2002, wth several upgrades over 17 years. This time around, the car is expected to receive major cosmetic as well as technological changes to meet the BS6 norms. Mahindra Scorpio 2020 is likely to sport a similar design as its predecessor, but under the hood, it is likely to have a new BS6-compliant 2.0-liter diesel engine with an automatic gearbox and all-wheel drive.
2. Next-Gen Mahindra XUV500/ eXUV500
Referred as the 'Cheetah', Mahindra XUV500 is set to get MAJOR revamps, both in the interiors and the exteriors. In the interiors front, the SUV will get a central touchscreen infotainment system, lower AC vents and a 3-spoke steering wheel. The exterior is going to be sleeker, with a more upright nose, a 7-slat grille and a reimaged tailgate. Under the hood, the Cheetah is likely to sport a BS6-compliant 2.0-liter petrol and diesel engines, mated to a 6-speed manual & automatic gearbox as well as all-wheel drive options. The SUV can go the electric way, with the teaser showing a potential eXUV500, the biggest EV Mahindra has to offer. It is likely to be powered by a Lithium-ion battery pack with Smart Charging for fast charging.
3. Next-Gen Mahindra Thar
The 2020 Mahindra Thar is something that is going to be bigger, stronger and better. Addressing the biggest issue that hurt the last generation, this time around, Mahindra has taken the basic interior design and given the successor a refined look. With lavish features like a touchscreen infotainment system, steering-mounted controls, front power windows, automatic climate control and an uber-plush cabin, this makes for a rather exciting SUV. The off-roading beast is expected to be equipped with a 2.0-liter diesel engine (BS6-compliant) with a 6-speed manual gearbox and 4-wheel drive for a better off-roading experience.
4. Mahindra XUV300 Electric
Not much is known about this EV, as the information is heavily guarded. By far one of the most exciting showcase of Mahindra, one thing is for sure, it is going to be better, more efficient and is going to be a powerhouse. The SUV had recently received the highest safety ratings in Global NCAP's #SaferCarsForIndia crash tests, making Mahindra only the 2nd Indian car manufacturer to receive the coveted 5-stars rating. The electric variant of the SUV is expected to be showcased at the Auto Expo . It is likely to be powered by a 40kWh battery pack which can drive till a range of above 300km on a single charge. Expected to launch in the Indian Market in 2021, expect an electrifying SUV that will set the road on fire!
5. Mahindra eKUV100
The Mahindra eKUV100 was showcased as a concept in the 2018 Auto Expo. It is likely to sport a 31kW AC induction motor via lithium Ion battery pack. This EV is expected to retain a similar design to that of the KUV100 NXT. Slated to launch in the second half of 2020, it is the India's first all-electric micro SUV to go on sale. It also has a fast charging option, with charging upto 80% in just an hour.
6. 2020 Mahindra TUV300
The Mahindra TUV300, first launched in 2015, Under the hood, the Tank would get an upgraded version of its 1.5-liter 3-cylinder diesel engine to meet the BS6 emission norms.

BkiUc8E5qhLA8xWe_Kg4 | Semenya: Swiss court denies IAAF request to reimpose testosterone rules
Switzerland's top court has rejected an IAAF request to re-impose rules obliging double Olympic champion Caster Semenya to lower her testosterone before competing in certain events, a statement from her legal team said on Thursday.
"The Federal Supreme Court of Switzerland has rejected the IAAF's urgent request to be allowed to immediately re-impose its eligibility regulations on Caster Semenya," the statement said.
The court, which could not be immediately reached for confirmation, had issued the order on Wednesday, it said, adding that "this means that Caster remains permitted to compete without restriction in the female category at this time."
The IAAF had earlier this month opposed a ruling by the court temporarily suspending the federation's rules following an appeal by Semenya, the South African who won the women's 800 metres at the 2012 and 2016 Olympics.
The athlete was contesting a decision by the Court of Arbitration for Sport which previously found that the rules were "discriminatory" but "necessary" to ensure fairness in women's athletics.
The rules require women with higher than normal male hormone levels, a condition known as hyperandrogenism, to artificially lower the amount of testosterone in their bodies if they are to compete in races over distances of 400m to the mile.
Wednesday's court decision means that the IAAF and Athletics South Africa now have until June 25 to make a new court submission on Semenya's request that the IAAF rules remain suspended throughout the entire appeal proceedings, the statement said.
"No woman should be subjected to these rules," the South African athlete said in the statement, adding that she had "thought hard about not running the 800m in solidarity unless all women can run free. But I will run now to show the IAAF that they cannot drug us."
She also expressed frustration that she has been prevented from competing in the 800 metres at the IAAF Diamond League Meeting in Rabat on June 16, in what her legal team said was an apparent violation of the Swiss Supreme Court's order.
According to the statement, she had been notified on Monday that the head of the Moroccan Athletics Federation had denied her participation in the event.
"Caster is currently seeking clarity on the specific reasons for that decision, and she urges the IAAF to ensure its member federations comply with the law and the Supreme Court's orders," it said.
Semenya remained focused on defending her Diamond League 800-metre title, it said, adding that she had sought entry at the Prefontaine Classic event in the United States on June 30.
The athlete dismissed IAAF's claim that it is committed to the full participation of women in sport.
"I am a woman, but the IAAF has again tried to stop me from running the way I was born," she said in the statement, pointing out that the hormonal drugs she had been required to take to compete had made her feel "constantly sick and unable to focus for many years."
"No other woman should be forced to go through this," she said.

BkiUdhjxK6nrxq6Dnzst | Conservations have always had to work on a budget, I know, I've been one, but now technology is helping them in ways that were previously unimaginable.
Whether it's robots stunning invasive species like Lionfish and the Crown of Thorns, or scientists using 3D printing to resurrect dying reefs, Artificial Intelligence (AI) to identify species or create a Facebook for Whales, or genetic editing to wipe out species, it's undeniable that conservations are increasingly turning to technology to help them fix the damage that's being wrought on the planet's ecosystems.
Now, an ocean going, solar powered drone called Wave Glider, that's made by a Boeing company called Liquid Robotics, has been enlisted by the UK Government to help spot illegal fishing in the world's largest, continuous marine reserve – the 834,000 square km, or 322,000 square mile, zone around the Pitcairn Islands in the Pacific which the UK designated a marine nature reserve back in 2015.
The plan is that the data gathered by the drone will be beamed back to a satellite control room in Harwell Science Park in Oxfordshire and be used by authorities to help prosecute unauthorised trawling which has become an increasing problem in the reserve.
That said though, and as if all that isn't enough for the sea faring drone, it's also going to be patrolling areas in the reserve designated as no fishing zones and using its on board camera it's going to take snaps of fishing vessels that are in restricted areas, and then use satellite technology that can pinpoint their location.
The drone is comprised of two parts – an instrument bearing boat that floats on the ocean surface that is tethered to a submersible – and it uses the differential motion between the sea surface and the region the submersible traverses to propel itself along which means it can stay at sea for months at a time.
The seas around the Pitcairns are believed to be home to more than 1,200 species of fish, marine mammals and birds, some of which are unique to the region and it also supports the world's deepest and most well developed coral reef.
The unmanned craft starting patrolling late last month. | c4 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 2 |

What is the noise level on this machine? I'm looking to replace and older, noisy machine that is in a hallway. Looking for a very quiet machine, if it exists.
It's pretty quiet but ONLY if the load is distributed evenly. I've had mine for about a year now and if I do a small load, like no more than half is what is recommended, I rarely need to stop the spin and rearrange the load. If I do a full load, I always have to stop the spin and even then it's very hard to redistribute it evenly. Also, if the machine is not leveled properly in the first place, it will not run quietly. I had to get the installation crew (not from Home Depot) back 2X to level it and they still didn't do it right. Ended up doing it myself. It's very important that the machine not be off level or the load be imbalanced, otherwise essential parts wear unevenly and break. This happened to another washer i owned that was never leveled. If your machine is really noisy, check the levelness and make sure clothes are evenly distributed during spin, even if you put then in evenly.
Is this washing machine considered a energy star ?

White Laundry Center with 2.3 cu. ft. Washer and 4.4 cu. ft. 240-Volt Vented Electric Dryer is rated 4.0 out of 5 by 349.
Rated 2 out of 5 by Co Rin from Good Size The build quality of this machine is excellent, however the features that it offers is inadequate. I can not fault the Mfr. too much as I believe the US Government has mandated that these features are incorporated with each machine. The primary feature which is adequate is the lack of the ability to determines ones own load size. The machine weighs the clothes to determine how much water needed to clean the clothes. The first few times I allowed the machine to does this I found the cloths to be inadequately cleaned. I ended up wetting my laundry prior to placing them in the machine in order to weigh down the clothes to get more water in the tub. So as it turns out, I now use waste more water now since I can't determine load size. Determining load size by weighing them is stupid and in the long run, inefficient. The second feature is the lid lock feature, which in a word, is annoying. Not everyone who washes clothes has children in the household that will crawl in the tub so why not provide make this feature optional with each machine?

The rim of the washer mouth is jagged -- a defect I suspect is unique to my unit, and not a universal trait -- but the end result is that my clothes are constantly snagging on it. It makes more noise than the last unit, and the lint filter is both inefficient and inconvenient. Inefficient because every time I finish a load, I find lint around the mouth of the dryer. Inconvenient because it doesn't empty easily. You have to remove two pieces to get it out, and due to its irregular shape, it's impossible to simply scoop out all the lint in one motion. The end result of every single load is that there's excess lint that smears on my clothes and spills onto the floor. Plus, I've noticed more runs and snagged threads since I had this model installed. So it's loud, messy, and (in my case at least) defective. On the plus side, it does clean and dry my clothes. I'm stuck with it, but I'd never recommend it to anyone else.

Even though this is a compact appliance for space saving you get a lot of appliance for the size. While the tub is a little smaller, it holds a reasonable size wash. The washer has an auto-load sensor, it will automatically measure the load size and add just the right amount of water. This keeps an even balance throughout the cycle. 12 wash cycles are designed to specifically handle various fabrics and soils. Also, 6 wash & rinse temperatures; 1 wash &spin speed combination. Speeds are matched to fabric type. Bleach and fabric softener dispensers are easily identifiable for your convenience. The washer lid automatically locks at the beginning of the cycle for safety. The dryer is very spacious and runs quietly; vents to outside just as any normal dryer does; uses 220-volt, has easy cycle selection, convenient lint filter on door. Home Depot delivers and installs the unit and will also take your old machines if needed.

We moved into a condo and didn't have the space for our traditional separate washer and dryer so we searched and decided on this model. We hoped that it would work out and be big enough to handle our usual size loads. As it turns out my wife really likes it. It definitely takes a little getting used to at first but, the washer is plenty big enough and the clothes actually comes out less wet than our old washer and the dryer works better than our really expensive old dryer that we left behind. We have since read several bad reviews but thankfully none of them has happened with this unit so far. The only bad thing is that the dryer is kind of high so my wife has to use a small step stool. As much as I'd like to –but - I can't blame the manufacturer for that. It does on occasion become out of balance on the spin cycle and it does make some rather strange non earth-like noises but we've gotten used to those. At this point we would recommend.
Rated 3 out of 5 by 808 Mama from A few tips/info... If you leave the door open while the washer is filled or if it's on pause for a while, then the whole tub will drain after several minutes of not being used. so much for adding in the towel or other items after the kids shower! Be sure to clean the lint filter halfway between your drying time, otherwise lint may fly everywhere as you open the door. Is there no air-dry cycle for this dryer?!? I only see a delicates cylce, that I never used yet, which has a cool down phase indicating that some heat is used. Put it on the "Bulky Items" cycle setting if you're washing several items, otherwise only half the tub (or less) will be filled with water. Yes the other cycle features like all modern washers these days saves water, but I prefer thoroughly washed clean clothes that smells clean! If you're only washing a few things then the other wash cycles (similar to all washers) will make more sense to save water.
Rated 1 out of 5 by Eer20 from Terrible downgrade from prior model I had the prior model (ESSJWW) for several years and it worked wonderfully. Unfortunately, I made the poor, hasty decision to replace rather than repair the old model when it ran beyond warranty and had a major issue. What a mistake. The new model (ESSMWW) sacrifices a tremendous amount of the utility and convenience of the former model. It's much clunkier, noisier, slower. And a terrible design. For example: The dryer lint catcher is now on the door of the drier, rather than in the rear of the machine (why?). This means that lint isn't caught effectively and instead just wanders around the machine, getting everywhere. Worst of all, the "precise fill" function on the washer, which is supposed to be a function that adds the correct amount of water based on weight, load size, etc is NON FUNCTIONAL. It just doesn't work. I've pulled multiple loads out of the machine where 15 - 20% of the clothes haven't even touched water. I purchased an extended warranty. I'd rather throw it in the dump. Epic fail, GE.

I was looking for a washer/dryer that I could put into a closet area sideways. I looked at a number of the front load units that I could stack but then you need a lot of room for the doors to swing open. The smaller profile of this unit and not requiring as much space for the dryer door to open and the washer lid lifts up so no additional space need there. Now that I resolved the space issue I was concerned that anything I would find would then allow me to wash 1 pair of jeans. Not with this unit, I'm able to a load of laundry every couple of days and I'm able to keep up with our laundry with no problem. It is just the two of us so obviously its not like keeping up with a family of 4 or anything. They unit gives me plenty of wash and dry options from delicatse and low heat to heavier duty and more dry options. The energy usage seems to be comparable to my previous energy efficient front loader. If you are looking for a space saver that works like a full size, I recommend this unit.
Rated 5 out of 5 by moosebird from Space effiecient I needed apartment size, space efficient, closet-friendly washer/dryer. I was concerned that the 2.3 cubic foot washer capacity would have me washing one item at a time, however, that is not the case. I can load it with a set of queen size sheets - no problem. The big bonus: the spin cycle is very effective. I have experienced much shorter dryer times and when hanging laundry (roughly 50% f my loads) there are no drips!

BkiUdLXxK0wg09FXVq06 | 'A chance to start over': How this 600-pound man lost 250 pounds in 15 months
When the Chinese buffet was closed one day, Mike Powers found himself at a gym. He discovered he loved boxing and transformed his health.

By Meghan Holohan
At almost 600 pounds, Mike Powers was unhappy and unhealthy. It took him at least a half an hour to do any physical task. To make himself feel better, he turned to food.
At 5 feet 10 inches tall, Powers had always been overweight. He was an emotional eater who rarely watched his portion sizes. But two years ago, his weight and health were spiraling out of control — he couldn't even put on his shoes or cut his toenails.
How this man lost 250 pounds in 15 months
"I was so used to taking 30 minutes to put on clothes," the 43-year-old Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, resident said. "When you are 600 pounds, it is a hurting thing. It breaks you down really quick."
Powers had type 2 diabetes, congestive heart failure and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. His doctor warned him he could die if he didn't make a change.
"She said, 'If you come back in this condition, I don't know if I can save you,'" he recalled. "That was a scary moment."

Still, he did little to change his habits. Then in November 2016, he headed to his favorite Chinese buffet for lunch. He was too early and needed to kill time before it opened. He started wandering around when he spotted Title Boxing Club and decided to check it out.
"When I first walked into Title gym, I couldn't walk from the front door to the bathroom," he said. "But the first time I hit that bag, it was just a release."
health11 things to know before starting a diet
That feeling motivated him to return a few days later. He struggled at first: He was easily winded and couldn't exercise long without taking a break. But he stuck with it.
Today, he works out five times a week. He also changed his diet, cutting white carbs, such as pizza, rice, French fries and pasta. He added lean protein, fruits and vegetables to his diet. Every day, he drinks at least eight glasses of water. If he feels sad, he goes to the gym and punches a heavy bag.
"Everything that drew me to food, depression or whatever, I turn to the bag," he said.
To date, Powers has lost 250 pounds and now weighs 337 pounds. He needs to lose about 30 or 40 pounds more before undergoing skin removal surgery, but he is focused on being active and eating healthy foods.
"I just want to be healthy, happy. It is past losing weight," he said.
For the past 15 months, Powers has been going to the gym five times a week as he loses weight and transforms his health.Courtesy Mike Powers
Today, he no longer needs to take insulin, and just takes two pills to regulate his congestive heart failure. He's learned a lot about himself through this process.
"I am stronger than I ever thought," he said. "It's like a new life. The good Lord gave me a chance to start over."
Here are his tips for others hoping to lose weight:
1. Leave the past behind.
Losing 250 pounds in 15 months takes a lot of positive energy. When friends or family criticized him or doubted him, Powers avoided them. He also had to let go of any of his own negative feelings stopping him from succeeding.
"You've got to leave the past behind," he said. "If there is any negativity or something that is holding you back, you have to get rid of it."
2. Find what you love.
Boxing helped Powers feel better both emotionally and physically. He believes he stuck with it because he loved it so much.
"Find something that is positive that you enjoy doing and that is healthy. Tennis, swimming, whatever. Find something you enjoy doing and take it and run with it," he said.

3. It's not a quick fix.
Powers understands that to maintain his weight loss and stay healthy, he will always have to eat healthy foods and exercise.
"This is my new life," he said.

BkiUe7DxK4tBVicoEY-C | Introductory PrefaceThe four quotes above have as much to do with genuine reality as a frog turning into a prince; the latter of the four quotes dressed up in what I like to call "Scientese", a language peculiar to various scholars. The following will be an analysis of a popular evolution myth that has been passed around in one form or another for more than a century, which is the so-called evolution of birds. There are many aspects to this fantastic story, and many a tall tale has been spun by the masters of legerdemain ensconced in their towers of ivory as they present what they claim are the results of valid scientific inquiry and procedure into the origin of these amazing animals. Thus, it is necessary also that part of this study will be to investigate the very methods that these evolutionists use in their procedure, as well as their assumptions, or perhaps a better word would be presumptions concerning origins, and how these apriori presumptions might affect their interpretation of the data that is yielded from the results of their inquiry.
Part of my role will also be to be sort of a "compiler" of the information that they have accumulated, that is I will endeavor to parse their language or style of expressing themselves, which I have coined "Scientese" i.e. an overly verbose, tedius, longwinded method of expression using unnecessarily technical terms, and to simplify it similar to translating source code from a high-level programming language to a lower level language.
As an example, instead of writing "The man walked down the stairs," in Scientese this might be in the form of "The homo sapien diagonally descended the set of fitted wooden slats that sloped in an oblique or slanted direction at a forty five degree angle." Indeed, this kind of balderdash is not unusual in their journals. They wallow in this type of phony intellectual hyperbole, the quote from Mays above is a perfect example, and it serves it's purpose; it bolsters the appearance of genuine, methodical scholarship and impresses their peers while perplexing the public; hence I will attempt to be a faithful guide and simplify it for ordinary consumption. Many of their papers are rife with this tedius nonsense, which certainly appeals to the other elite of their particular craft and it looks nice and very scholarly (in a pseudo sense) in their journals.
Essentially, what these evolutionists have done in their language of Scientese is to construct a world, or worlds, of artificial reality, complex Bodhimandalas, which they wander in and out of and use to construct their various imaginary evolutionary worlds, complete with charts and graphs, in fact many of them are quite proficient in gaming theory and computer simulations. Then they use these faux worlds and write about them and present them to the unwitting public as the actual account of how biological systems have arrived and advanced here on planet earth. Herman Mays is an expert at this type of intellectual voodoo. It's a marvelous magic show for the masses, very cleverly done I admit, but after all, the serpent was no dummy when he deceived a perfectly innocent couple in a garden thousands of years ago. My task here is to untangle their lies and expose them for the academic hucksters that they truly are. The harm that they have done with their deceits to thousands or millions of innocent young souls who have abandoned their faith in our Creator and His Son is incalculable.
Much as been made about "Darwin's Finches" by evolutionists. The finches never evolved into anything else except . . . more finches. The variations in beak size and shape are nothing more than the variation in the size and shape of the faces of different breeds of dogs. The dogs remained dogs, and the finches remained finches. And we have no idea where finches evolved from, except other finches of course. This phony "example" of evolution has been propped up for more than a century by Darwin's followers, and if this is the best that they have then they are in trouble. Here is another link discussing this issue from an epigenetic standpoint.
The above link is an excellent refution of evolutionist "Fake Science" concerning dinosaur to bird evolution. Here is another very good link. One thing that is quite refreshing about scientific papers written by creationists; Although the thesis might become a little technical at times, there is thankfully none of the bloated rhetoric, the unecessarily obtuse, hyperbolic, inflated jargon (I have cited this above in the preface) that is used for padding in many evolutionist journals. This is not because that kind of pompous faux-scientific gobbledegook is necessary, it is simply the way they pander to each other, and in a sense justify obtaining their future research grants which they shamelessly syphon from the government (provided for by the taxes of hard working ordinary citizens, you know, truck drivers, factory workers, ditch diggers, waitresses working in restaurants - the ordinary every day heroes working hard to put food on their tables for their families) without which many of these pseudo scholastics like Mr. Mays - a globe trotting academic grifter with a PhD who has been pulling the wool over the eyes of his slack jawed followers for years spinning his fantasy evolution tales using a technique I call "Scientese" - would undoubtedly be selling pencils from tin cups on the street corner. | c4 | 2 | 4 | 4 | 2 |

Helle Mardahl is a multidisciplinary artist and designer based in Copenhagen, Denmark. She works across sculpture, installation, painting, fashion and interior design – her scope of work and artistic capabilities never cease to impress us.
Having graduated from Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design, London in 2001, Mardahl has since exhibited her collections in galleries and art spaces across the world.
She recently launched her first lighting collection at 3 Days of Design in Copenhagen. Titled, The Candy Collection, the lights are based on Mardahl's childhood memories of the sweet shops she would visit, and born out of a nostalgia for a time where dreams of opening her very own candy store coloured her world.
The Candy Collection features both table lamps and hanging pendants in organic shapes, each bearing brass fittings and fabric cables. They are at once bold and unassuming. Exuding the kind of warmth only given when something has been worked by hand.
Mardahl describes "the colours, the textures, the desire, and the childlike anticipation" she revelled in whilst developing the range.
"My Candy Collection is filled with possibilities engaging all senses," Mardahl says. "I wish for a sight to behold and cherish, where every piece is unique and one-off."
Each glass is hand blown resulting in odd shapes and figures unique to each piece, welcomed imperfections and indicative of the artist's process.
Unplugged they are themselves commanding objects and when switched on, the lamps emit a soft glow, reminiscent of luminous bonbonnières in attractive shades of blue, orange, pink and yellow.
The appeal of her work is that each new development from her continues to surprise and delight. Forever experimenting and indulging her love for material, we never know what's coming next Helle Mardahl.

Physical optics system design and integration for applications in imaging, communications, and energy.
Professor Ford's strengths are in transparent fiber optic and free-space optical communication networks, dynamic planar and volume holography, physical and geometrical optics, and opto-electronic device packaging. He has been an innovator in the application of micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) to the optical telecommunications infrastructure. For six years at Bell Labs, Ford developed parallel communications systems based on arrays of high speed opto-electronic VLSI and micromechanical devices. He led a team that demonstrated the first MEMS-based components for wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) telecommunications, where multiple signals are sent simultaneously through the same fiber by coding the information in different wavelengths. These included the first MEMS variable attenuator, dynamic spectral equalizer, and wavelength add/drop switch. This technology has become part of the fiber-optic "plumbing" of the core optical communications network. In his Photonics Systems Integration Lab (PSI-Lab) at UCSD, Ford's research group is working on using physical optics in many different systems. Recent examples are waveguide-based solar concentrators, free-space optical communications, microsecond circuit switching for fiber communications within data centers, ultra thin "origami" imagers using concentric folded optics, gigapixel and wide angle computational imagers using spherically symmetric optics, and "telescopic" contact lenses.

[Poll] The Boards Awards: Coach of the Year
Date: April 22, 2019Author: Sydney Nusinov 0 Comments
The Turf and Boards is proud to present the second annual Boards Awards in recognition of excellence in the Major Arena Soccer League. The 2018-19 Boards Awards will include Rookie of the Year, Coach of the Year, Defender of the Year, Goalkeeper of the Year and, finally, Most Valuable Player. Rather than picking one definitive winner in each category, our panel of Matt Huber (aka Merlin, Soccer and The City), Greg "Ponto" Suttie (Suttie on Soccer) and Turf and Boards publisher Sydney Nusinov will each weigh in with their own choices for each award. Plus we want to hear from you in our poll.
Matt Huber, Soccer and The City
There are quite a few candidates for Coach Of The Year, but for this award, I'll narrow my choices down to three: Phil Salvagio, Genoni Martinez, and Hewerton Moreira.
In the case of Moreira, he took a St. Louis Ambush team that went 3-19 in the 2017-2018 season, and took them close to a playoff berth. In the 2018-2019 season, the Ambush went 10-14, a seven win improvement from the year before. It's not just about wins as a whole, but improvement over a season. That's why Hewerton should get some consideration.
Let's face it. If you coach a team that goes 23-1, you're doing something right. Phil Salvagio led the San Diego Sockers to that record and home field advantage throughout the playoffs. On top of that, the Sockers were near the top of the league in both offensive and defensive efficiency. That all starts with a gameplan, and for that Phil Salvagio would finish second in my opinion.
My Coach Of The Year Boards Award would go to Genoni Martinez of the Rio Grande Valley Barracudas. Let's rewind to the 2017-2018 season. Like the Ambush, the Barracudas were in the basement of their division, amassing only three wins. Not only did Martinez take over as the coach of the team, but laced up his shoes, and became a player as well. He scored seven goals and had 20 assists, helping his team to a 16-8 record in the regular season, and a berth in the playoffs. What a difference a year makes!
Sydney Nusinov, Turf and Boards Publisher
When considering Coach of the Year candidates you can take the easy road and pick the coach with the best record, as MASL voters did last year selecting Monterrey Flash coach Mariano Bollella who guided his team to a league best 20-2 record. Or, you can pick a coach who overcame adversity or turned a program around and exceeded expectations.
I am in the latter camp, so with all due respect to Phil Salvagio, Giuliano Oliviero and Bollella (who was actually fired midseason this year despite the Flash ultimately finishing 19-5), my three finalists for Coach of the Year are Ryan Hall (Utica City FC), Hewerton Moreira (St. Louis Ambush) and Genoni Martinez (Rio Grande Valley Barracudas).
Hall was our consensus pick last year after he took the Syracuse Silver Knights from 8-12 to 13-9. This year, after moving with the team to Utica, Hall led City to an Eastern Division title and a 17-7 record, stopping the Baltimore Blast's run of first place finishes at eight straight years.
Hewerton took over an Ambush team that went 1-19 in 2016-17 and made them respectable, but they still only managed a 3-19 record in his first season. This year however, the Ambush won a franchise record 10 games and remained in playoff contention until losing five of their last six games to finish 10-14.
But that seven win improvement was nothing compared to the job Martinez did in Rio Grande Valley. The Barracudas improved from 3-19 to 16-8 and challenged the Flash for the Southwest Division title, beating them twice along the way. After three seasons away, Martinez, who turned 44 during the season, almost entirely rebuilt the roster and led the Barracudas on the field and off as a player/coach. His historic turnaround makes Genoni Martinez worthy of my Boards Awards vote.
Greg Suttie, Suttie on Soccer
While looking at the Coach of the Year there are some different perspectives. Do we look at the most successful? Or the most improved? Or the team that succeeded beyond preseason expectations?
If we are looking at the coaches who enjoyed the most success, it would be impossible not to name Phil Salvagio of the San Diego Sockers. The Sockers won 23 out of 24 games. And they did so after turning over nearly half the roster with new talent in the offseason. Some might argue that the roster was so stacked that he had little to do to make the team successful. But that would be shortsighted and unfair. Not only did Coach Salvagio have to integrate new players, but halfway through the season he was tasked with helping Landon Donovan learn the indoor game AND become a part of the Sockers system. He did so with seamless efficiency.
The most improved route might force a look at Genoni Martinez of the Rio Grande Valley Barracudas. RGV began this season with raised expectations despite having a 3-19 record the previous season, but for them to force their way to the Southwest Divisional playoffs is nothing short of amazing.
It would be wrong not also to include Kim Roentved of the Kansas City Comets. KC fought through a solid collection of respectable teams to gain a playoff berth this season after last year's 7-15 collapse.
And while coaches like Nick Perera and Pat Healey came into difficult situations as brand new Head Coaches the previously mentioned men seem to stand on top from my point of view.
In conclusion, and to the best of my ability to put personal biases aside, Phil Salvagio deserves the highest recognition for his ability to integrate an entirely new combination of players and maintain chemistry within the locker room and on the field, and his results speak for themselves. Some may argue that he had a superior roster to begin with, but the magic comes from making a group of masters into a cohesive team fabric.

BkiUd4Q5qhLBTAgpodoz | Comparison between a Subsidary Company, a Branch Office, and a Representative Office ② (Rights and Obligations)
Home Incorporation Comparison between a Subsidary Company, a Branch Office, and a Representative Office ② (Rights and Obligations)
Are there differences in the rights and obligations of a company in Japan (subsidiary company), a branch office in Japan (branch office), and a representative office?
Each form of business has different bearers of their rights and obligations.
★ Explanation ★
1. In the case of a subsidiary company
All rights and obligations are held by the business entity itself. In the case of a subsidiary company that is considered a separate entity from a foreign corporation, the rights and obligations are attributed to the subsidiary company.
2. In the case of a branch office
In the case of a branch office, which is considered a part of a foreign corporation, the rights and obligations are attributed to the foreign corporation located in the home country.
3. In the case of a representative office
The case for a representative office is a little more complicated. Fundamentally, the rights and obligations belong to the foreign corporation in the home company. However, if a representative of a representative office or the like engages in a contract in their individual capacity, the representative will bear the legal consequences. In this case, it is the representative individual who holds the rights and obligations.

BkiUeMLxK0wg09lKDUfO | If you had followed my series of rants on Twitter tonight you will know it happened to me again. The reason I went off the deep end this time was because approximately 10 months ago, this same person did exactly the same thing to me. When I contacted them the first time, they were very apologetic and removed the content, saying they had paid someone to produce some content for them and they didn't know it was all stolen. Since it was all resolved quickly and pleasantly, I said nothing more. I did of course keep a record of the whole process, including my contact with the hosting company etc.
Fast forward to today and Martin Widlake contacted me to say he had found some of my stuff on another site. When I checked, it was this same person again! Some of the content that got removed last time had mysteriously returned, and there was a load more with it. Most of the time it was a straight copy. Sometimes the article names had been slightly altered, but the content was straight off my site. Occasionally there was one extra sentence at the start. In total I found 141 articles stolen from my site. There may have been more, but these were all I identified up to now.
Now I'm a rather petty individual and I have a very large readership, so I'm pretty sure that if this person ever does something like this again, I will be able to make sure everyone he has ever worked for, or ever will work for, will know he has been proven to be a thief twice over. Not exactly the sort of person you want working with your valuable data!
If you steal content from a popular source, people are going to notice and tell the original content producer about it. There is no maybe. It will definitely happen.
When you are caught stealing stuff it makes you look like scum. You know why? Because you are scum! If you are lucky, you will be able to deal with it quietly. If not, the world will find out you are scum!
If you pay someone to produce content for you, you better make sure they are not stealing it, because if they are, it is you that will end up looking like scum, not them!
If you are paying someone for content and they are producing several articles a day, it is highly likely the work is stolen, or incredibly derivative at best. If you do not realise this, you are a moron. Being a moron is not a defence, and kind-of affects your future job prospects!
We are all writing about the same stuff. When a new product is released, there is a flurry of new articles on the subject, many of which are covering the same content. There is nothing wrong with that. No one person has a claim on it. You won't get an email from me asking you not to write about it. That would be ridiculous. Everyone's take on the same subject matter is slightly different. If you ever see me in person you'll know I'm always encouraging people to get involved. Having said that, if your idea of getting involved is stealing other people's material, we will not be friends!
It is, unfortunately, a game of Whack-A-Mole… except there are more moles, the hammer is really cumbersome to use, and the game isn't fun even for the first few whacks. I've seen my content in numerous locations. My favorite (for a given definition of favorite) was someone who was trying to promote themselves as an Oracle expert. He had numerous 'eh' technical articles on his blog, a photo of himself with Johnathan Lewis at some Oracle event and Tom Kyte at another, plus a screenshot of his 'Oracle Guru' certificate from OTN.
Oh — and then there was the link to a complete PDF of one of my PL/SQL study guides, a second link to a PDF of the All-in-One Oracle Press book for 1Z0-051/052/053, a third to a PDF of Steve O'Hearn's 1Z0-047 book, and a fourth to a PDF of a 1Z0-051 book by Steve Ries.
When I called him on the link to my study guide, he claimed he didn't realize my book wasn't free. When I called him on the other three linked books on his blog — he just quietly took them down without claiming he thought they were free as well.
On one occasion an Oracle blogger copy/pasted an entire whitepaper I had worked on into his blog, with no accreditation. When I contacted him to complain his explanation was that the content was relevant to his work on a particular product team, and he wanted to help promote the paper. I honestly don't think this person was trying to take credit for the content. Rather, I think this college-educated individual was just completely ignorant of the fact that the manner is which he used the content was blatant plagiarism.
On another occasion I contacted another Oracle blogger who published a lengthy post in which he included quotes from another article. This blogger announced at the beginning that his post incorporated this other writer's content. But he never once used quotation marks or otherwise indicated which parts of the text were lifted from the other source.
When I explained the problem, he was surprised to learn that what he had done was wrong. In this case, too, I think his intentions were entirely honorable. But he was apparently completely ignorant of how to correctly incorporate content from another source.
In both cases the bloggers took steps to correct the problems. But in both cases the bloggers had apparently managed to graduate from college without ever encountering any writing style guides, or wiithout ever noticing how professional writers handle quoted material.
Between those kind of offenses and the proliferation of god-awful writing in blogs I spend way too much time screaming at my computer screen.
Wow. Good catch, Martin! Take down the assholes, Tim!
Tim, I agree this is outrageous. I work really hard on my presos, articles, and white papers, and if I EVER find anyone stealing from me so blatantly, they should fear the consequences. (Never p1$$ off a guy from Chicago .. 'nuff said.) In the meantime, you might want to try shaming them. Feel free to use my new tool – the $0 bill (https://jimczuprynski.files.wordpress.com/2016/02/zerodollarbill2.pdf) – and don't be afraid to call them what they are: LIARS. | c4 | 3 | 2 | 4 | 2 |

Indigenous group recovers territory
Latinamerica Press
Court orders restitution of 50,0000 hectares to indigenous community from mining concessions.
In what is viewed as a historic ruling, the Civil Chamber Specialized in Land Restitution of the Medellin Superior Court ordered on Sept. 23 the restitution of land rights to the Embera Katio people of the Andágueda River reserve in the municipality of Bagadó, in the western department of Chocó.
The decision benefits 1,454 indigenous families and 7,270 people who were compelled to abandon their lands because of mining activities, forced recruitment and threats from armed groups.
"This is the first time in the country and in the world that an indigenous community threatened with extinction due to the physical and cultural impact of the armed conflict and the factors that are underlying and linked to it, achieved through a court decision the recognition of the fundamental rights to territory, self-government and self-determination, among others, which were being violated as a result of abandonment, confinement and dispossession from ancestral lands for the Embera Katio community," said a statement by the Special Administrative Unit for Land Restitution (URT) of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development.
Court proceedings began last February when the URT filed the lawsuit; it ended with the ruling that removes 11 gold mining companies from that area of the country.
The Colombian Institute for Agrarian Reform (INCORA) established the Andágueda River reserve in December 1979. Nevertheless, starting in 2008 the administration under former president Álvaro Uribe (2002-2010) began an intense campaign of granting mining concessions in areas that overlapped with the reserve, ultimately handing over 62 percent of the 55,000 hectares of indigenous territory.
Prior consultation
"It´s a landmark ruling in the country's history because these communities have been victimized for many years and unfortunately did not have a mechanism with which they could protect their land," said URT Director Ricardo Sabogal. "This ruling is the first where a judge of the Republic ordered restitution of land to an ethnic community that has suffered greatly."
Sabogal added that, "in this area, all the world´s ills came together to impact this community: violence displaced them, then the criminal illegal mining arrived and forced them off their territory. Thanks to this court decision, they will be able to return to their lands."
The URT Director states that any mining activity on the land must be done legally.
"If [the companies] are going to act, they will have to conduct a prior consultation with the community so they can participate in the decisions that affect their land. The time has come to take rights seriously, the rights of indigenous communities. Their territory must be respected and for that there is the restorative policy of the Unit for Land Restitution."
Moreover, the ruling orders that national, departmental, and municipal courts guarantee the return of the displaced community, and that the mining and environmental authorities, develop diagnostics for each of the projects that exploit natural resources within the reserve. It also voids any title deeds within the indigenous territory, and rejects applications for new mining concessions. —Latinamerica Press.

Obama Arrives in South Africa Amid Concerns Over Nelson Mandela's Health
Jun 28, 2013 12:00 AM EST
https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/obama-arrives-in-south-africa-amid-concerns-over-nelson-mandelas-health
President Barack Obama landed in Johannesburg on the second stop of his week-long tour of Africa. Meanwhile, former South African President Nelson Mandela remains hospitalized. Margaret Warner reports on the state of affairs in South Africa as the American president begins his visit.
MARGARET WARNER:
President Obama landed in Johannesburg, South Africa, this evening, his second stop on a weeklong tour of the continent.
The president's long-planned visit, with his family, comes at a delicate moment, as South Africa's 94-year-old former President Nelson Mandela is clinging to life in a Pretoria heart clinic.
Some South Africans appreciated the timing of President Obama's arrival.
MAN:
Mr. Obama's visit will seem to me some form of solidarity, although it may not necessarily be the purpose of his visit. Coming to South Africa at the time the president is ill, and a man so revered nationally and internationally, will, I think, be a very good thing.
It's unclear if the two men will meet. White House officials said that decision rests with the Mandela family.
Aboard Air Force One en route to Johannesburg, President Obama said he wasn't seeking a photo op, adding: "The main message we will want to deliver, if not directly to him, but to his family, is simply profound gratitude for his leadership."
Mandela remains in critical condition, but his ex-wife Winnie said today there were positive signs.
WINNIE MADIKIZELA-MANDELA, Ex-wife of Nelson Mandela: I'm not here to answer medical questions. I'm not a doctor, but I can say that from what he was a few days ago, there is great improvement, but, clinically, he is still unwell.
Many gathering outside the hospital appear to be preparing for the inevitable passing of their icon.
TAMMY HACK, Resident of Johannesburg, South Africa: Our hearts are breaking at the moment. He is such an inspiration and he is a true South African hero. I think he is a world hero and we all are absolutely devastated.
The near quarter-century since Mandela's release from prison and his 1994 election as president brought tectonic change in South Africa. The end of the racial apartheid spurred social and economic development, and catapulted the democracy to the world stage.
The country even hosted Africa's first-ever World Cup in 2010. But for many, dreams of a better life remain unrealized. Income inequality is among the greatest in the world, though some blacks have joined the elite. Crime, corruption, and high unemployment plague the country.
Frustrations boiled over last year. Strikes by platinum mine workers angry with their low wages turned deadly. In one instance, 34 people were killed when police opened fire on strikers. Still, business figures, like this bank analyst, hope the president's visit will boost economic ties between the two countries.
MOHAMMAD NALLA, Bank Analyst:
And as the United States emerges from what has been a fairly difficult economic cycle, South Africa really needs to do its bit in trying to cement those relationships, expanding on those trading relationships, because right now our trading relationships with Europe still remain the dominant factor, and we need to diversify some of that over the coming years.
For now, South Africa continues to struggle in recovering from the global recession. First-quarter growth this year was the slowest since 2009.

21 Things To Gift The Person Who Can't Wait To Start Traveling Again
We may not be able to catch flights just yet, but they'll still appreciate these beauties.
by Jasmin Suknanan
1. A keychain with collectible engraved tokens so they can have a physical representation of all the places they've traveled.
The Wander Club
Last year, I got a set of three for the friend group I always travel with, and it was so worth the sentiment! We buy a new token every time we go on a trip together.
Promising review: "I love these tokens — they bring back wonderful memories of the places I've been and places I've seen. The quality of the tokens are top notch." –Jean Fraser
Get the tokens from The Wander Club for $6 and get the keychain for $25 (available in seven colors and 30+ country engravings; find other types of tokens on their shop page).
2. A set of three hard shell spinners so for your next future family vacation, you can all easily evade other travelers (thanks to the multidirectional wheels) while you race to your gate in style.
Promising review: "This luggage is awesome. We went to Hawaii for 10 days held all of our items plus a few extras on the trip home. The suitcases are lightweight and roll with ease. I loved the zippered section nothing fell out. The wheels roll well, especially in the busy airport. The outsides are very durable. You can pull the handle up and set your backpack or extra bags on top nothing falls off. This is the best luggage I have owned so far. I will be taking it to London in December." —Amazon Customer
Get a set of three from Amazon for $139.99 (available in 16 colors).
3. A mini cocktail kit they can even enjoy while they sit in the backseat on their next road trip adventure.
The kit includes a copper tin, ginger syrup, a 1/2 oz. jigger, a recipe card, a small barspoon, and a coaster.
Promising review: "First, let's be realistic; this is purely an over-the-top extravagance. That being said, the mix is delicious and the concept and ritual of preparing a delicious cocktail in your seat is awesome. Sure, you get a few funny stares from your fellow passengers, but it is just because they are jealous. Go ahead and get one, mix away, make your row-mates jealous, and enjoy!" —GSlate
Get it from Amazon for $24.39+ (available in 15 flavors and as a set of two).
4. A travel wallet with enough compartments to hold their passport, boarding pass, cash, ID, credit cards, and more so they can have easy access to all their essentials at any given moment (when they're able to start safely traveling again, of course).
The wallet has a passport pocket, boarding pass compartment, three credit card slots, an ID slot, a slim card pouch, slim pocket, a ticket slot, a cellphone pouch, a coin zippered pocket, key holder, and pen holder.
Promising review: "This wallet is durable, chic, and spacious. The lining is very soft and feels expensive. From the design to the material, to the zippers and snaps, it's well made. I ordered it in rose gold, and it's a beautiful color. I travel frequently and love the boarding pass pocket. I recommend it to my sister and mom who also love theirs! They ordered in yellow and bronze and were also happy with the color." —Brianna graham
Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in 34 colors).
5. A Dagne Dover duffle bag that may seem small but can actually hold a ton of their getaway essentials — whether next year will find them in another country or just a few dozen miles away.
BuzzFeed's Emma McAnaw says: "My Dagne Dover duffle fits soooooo much more than it seems (especially when you fight to the death to fit everything like I do), and it's a super easy carry-on! I just put it under the seat so I don't have to fight people to get the overhead bin space. Also, I've gotten away with bringing it for free on airlines that try to charge for carry-ons because it looks so small."—Emma McAnaw
Get it from Dagne Dover for $95+ (available in five sizes and 10 colors).
6. A scratch-off travel map to inspire their first post-quarantine adventure.
KristinDouglasART / Etsy
Promising review: "My best friend was so surprised and cried when I gave him this birthday gift! This scratch-off poster is so beautiful and truly one-of-a-kind." —Jordan Hubbard

7. Or a larger scratch-off map so they can mark off all the places they've already been (and continue doing so as they travel around more in the future).
Promising review: "I gave this as a gift to a traveler. He really liked the way it is and when I informed him that you scratch off all the countries he visited he was so surprised. I put it in a poster frame that I bought at Walmart. Nice idea for someone who travels." —M. King
Get it from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in two sizes).
8. A compass-inspired necklace because they'll always ~find their way~ toward a new, fun experience.
Promising review: "These are great to stock up on and keep on hand as a last minute gift. I've bought three and each person has loved them. (Birthday gift, graduation gift, Mother's Day gift.) They look very nice and they look more expensive than they are." —Desiree Galman
Get it from Amazon for $7.99.
9. A travel journal (with blank pages) they can fill with photos and jot down experiences they want to remember from past and future trips. I have a similar one, and flipping through the memories is always a joy!
Promising review: "I ABSOLUTELY LOVE my new journal! It is made of sturdy leather with a soft brown suede interior. The embossed compass on the front cover, along with the anchor and ship's wheel charms add to the overall travel theme of the journal. It comes with plain brown paper. I absolutely LOVE the six-ring binder feature. Extra paper can be added as needed, and if I make a mistake, I can easily remove the page without having all those stray bits of paper that usually get stuck in a regular spiral-type notebook. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!" —Bookworm from WV
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in five colors).
10. A custom illustration of them and their favorite travel buddy, because the couple who travels together stays together.

Collection methods and legal grounds for using Personal Information
During your relationship with us, we will collect and process your Personal Information as outlined in this Privacy Notice or as otherwise notified to you from time to time.
You will be the primary source for your Personal Information, but it may also be necessary to collect Information from third parties, elsewhere such as third party verification services and publicly available registries or records. At or before the time of collection of your Personal Information, and in line with this Privacy Notice, we explain how we intend to use your Personal Information and the legal ground for processing (e.g., legal obligation we are subject to, the legitimate interest we have or consent). For each type of processing where we are relying on TDS' legitimate interests, we list out such interests. For processing requiring your consent, we provide you with details of the Personal Information we would like and the reason for collecting it, so that you can carefully consider whether you wish to give that consent.
In the limited circumstances where you may have provided your consent to the collection, processing and transfer of your Personal Information for a specific purpose, you have the right to withdraw your consent for that specific processing at any time. To withdraw your consent, please contact TDSClientOnboarding@tdsecurities.com.

If knowledge of the processing would compromise the availability or accuracy of the Information and collection is required to investigate a breach of the Guidelines of Conduct or contravention of European law;
If it is publicly available (such as name, address and telephone number of a subscriber in a telephone directory);
If we have reasonable grounds to believe the Information could be useful when investigating a contravention of a European or foreign law and the Information is used for that investigation.
Collection methods and legal grounds for 'special category' Personal Information
We may process special categories of Personal Information in the following circumstances:
In limited circumstances, with your explicit written consent (for example in response to an event invitation where we need to know dietary requirements).
Where we need to carry out our legal obligations of the relevant European jurisdictions in which we are operating and in line with our policies.
Where it is needed in the substantial public interest and in line with our policies.
Less commonly, we may process this type of Information where it is needed in relation to legal claims, or where it is needed to protect your interests (or someone else's interests) and you are not capable of giving your consent, or where you have already made the Information public.

Location of your Personal Information
We may transfer your Information to countries outside the European Economic Area ("EEA") and UK, for example, if any of our servers are located in a country outside of the EEA or UK, such as the USA. These countries may not have similar data protection laws to Europe. As we operate in various jurisdictions, the EEA and UK operations regularly share data with central groups in Toronto, Canada under the European Commission's 2002 Adequacy Finding. If the data is going to other jurisdictions, other measures are used to protect your Personal Information to the same level, such as the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses.
By providing your Personal Information, you are acknowledging that this transfer, storing or processing may take place. If we transfer your Information outside of the EEA or UK, we will take steps to help ensure that appropriate measures are taken to protect your privacy rights, as outlined in this Privacy Notice. You can request more details about any such measures taken from the DPO.
Automated Decision Making
You will not be subject to decisions that will have a significant impact on you based solely on automated decision-making, unless we have a lawful basis for doing so and we have notified you.
We do not envisage that any decisions will be taken about you using automated means, however we will notify you in writing if this position changes.
Protection of your Personal Information
We have a number of technical and organization measures in place to protect our systems and your Personal Information. These include but are not limited to:
Personal Information is only accessible by a limited number of relevant staff bound by duties of confidentiality;
All electronic information is held on systems that incorporate firewalls, password- controlled access and virus protection procedures; and
We audit our procedures and security measures regularly to help ensure that they are being properly administered and that they remain effective and appropriate to the sensitivity of the information.
Every employee is responsible for protecting Personal Information to which they have access in their role. All employees who have access to Personal Information are required, as a condition of employment, to comply with their applicable HR Privacy Policy and to protect the integrity and confidentiality of the Personal Information to which they have access in accordance with TDS's internal Technology Standards. Failure to do so will be grounds for disciplinary action, which may include termination of employment.
We keep your Information for no longer than is necessary for the purpose(s) for which it was collected (including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting or reporting requirements). When we no longer require your Personal Information, we will securely destroy and/or delete it from our systems as far as is reasonably and technically possible.
In some circumstances we may anonymise your Personal Information so that it can no longer be associated with you, in which case we may use such information without further notice to you.
It is important that the Personal Information we hold about you is accurate and current. Please keep us informed if your Information changes during your relationship with us, whether by informing your relationship manager or other key contact here. For your protection, you should not send confidential or Personal Information to us over the internet (e.g., email) or through any unsecured channel.

You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your Information where you have exercised your right to object to processing (see below).
Object to processing of your Personal Information where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which may lead to you objecting to processing on this ground.
Object where we are processing your Personal Information for direct marketing purposes.
Request the restriction of processing of your Personal Information in specific circumstances. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of Information about you, for example if you want us to establish its accuracy or the reason for processing it.
Request the transfer of your Personal Information to another party in certain circumstances.
If you want to review, verify, correct or request erasure of your Personal Information, object to the processing of your Information, or request that we transfer a copy of your Information to another party, please contact the DPO.

BkiUeDXxK7IAD7XMJpPk | Celebrities say they'll leave US but curiously, they're still here…
Jul 18, 2022 celebrities, curiously, here.., leave, theyll, theyre
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
After the Supreme Court's Dobbs decision, Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong told fans at a London concert that he would renounce his citizenship. Don't bet on it.
Armstrong is no stranger to preening wokeness. He also "threatened" to leave the U.S. when President Trump was in charge, as did many other lefty celebs—Bryan Cranston, Samuel L. Jackson, Lena Dunham and Cher, to name but a few. Yet, curiously, they're all still here.
Armstrong's certainly entitled to renounce his citizenship. Several thousand Americans do so each year, albeit seldom for the reason(s) offered by the singer best known for "American Idiot." But Armstrong would be swimming against the tide. In a typical year, more than 800,000 foreign-born people are happily sworn in as United States citizens. Many years ago, I was one of them.
GREEN DAY'S BILLIE JOE ARMSTRONG SAYS HE'S RENOUNCING HIS US CITIZENSHIP: 'F— AMERICA'
Despite all the vagaries of the past 25 years—from 9/11, through wars, economic crashes, and pandemics, the desire to come to America has never dried up.
That's because people overseas understand, even if not everyone at home does, that America is still a unique land of opportunity and hope, where personal industry is more likely to result in success and fulfillment than anywhere else.

But what about that well-publicized stampede of liberals eager to escape Trump's "fascist state"? Newsweek debunked that myth nearly two years ago. Fact is, there is always a steady trickle of people wanting to renounce their citizenship.
Many of them are people who have lived abroad for years, even decades, and just haven't gotten around to it before. The main obstacle is that appointments at U.S. consulates abroad are difficult to come by, and the process takes time and money.
AMERICAN DREAM VERY MUCH ALIVE, GHANAIAN IMMIGRANT, ENTREPRENEUR SAYS ON FIRST ANNIVERSARY OF US CITIZENSHIP
Renouncing citizenship comes with a $2,350 fee, and those living abroad must handle the matter (which entails at least two personal interviews) at a U.S. Embassy in their country of residence. When the State Department prioritizes such appointments, the wait times quickly go down.
However, when services were shut down for COVID, loss of nationality cases were a low priority for embassies and consulates. Even now, the U.S. Embassy in Paris says the current wait time for an interview is "12-18 months," and Embassy London says "the wait time to receive an appointment has increased significantly."
NBA PLAYER ENES KANTER ON HIS LEGAL NAME CHANGE TO INCLUDE 'FREEDOM' AFTER BECOMING AMERICAN CITIZEN
As a consular officer, I did a handful of renunciation cases. I found that people have various reasons for doing it. Some are wealthy and wish to escape high U.S. tax rates. Others want to get out from under onerous laws like the 2010 Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FACTA), which requires Americans resident abroad to file annual tax returns and report all their foreign income, bank accounts, and investments. Foreign banks are so wary of penalties for failing to comply with FATCA that many refuse to let Americans open an account, seriously complicating a life abroad.
Others "renunciates" include those, like a French friend of mine who was born in California while his father was a graduate student and unwittingly became U.S. citizens because of the 14th amendment. These are sort of reverse anchor-babies; although they had no intention to become Americans, they are still bound by our rules, which include requirements to enter the U.S. using only an American passport, registering for the draft, and filing FATCA reports.
Others are naturalized Americans who, years later, choose to return home. Actress Elizabeth Taylor or Carnival Cruises owner Ted Arison fit this category, and the IRS list for last quarter suggests that a number of our most recent renunciates do as well.
CLICK HERE TO GET THE OPINION NEWSLETTER
The most common motivations for renouncing citizenship are personal or venal, not ideological. In my experience, those are very rare.
Celebrity pledges to leave due to politics are so much hot air. Every three months, the IRS publishes a list of Americans who have renounced their citizenship. Of the famous people who claimed, usually on stage or social media (which is a stage) that they would renounce their citizenship if Trump won, it seems none actually did.
Nothing is stopping Billie Joe or anyone else from renouncing their American citizenship – it's a free country. As for me and millions more naturalized citizens, we're glad to be here, even in tough times.
I prefer naturalized Somali-American Ayaan Hirsi Ali's "Why the West is Best" take to my fellow English-American John Oliver's "Decline of the American Empire."
I worked with hundreds of Foreign Service local staff in posts from Fiji to Togo, and one of my happiest duties was approving the Special Immigrant Visas for staff who had worked 20 or more years for the embassy. In their applications, almost all cited freedom, economic opportunity, and brighter futures for their children as reasons to pack up their families late in life and start all over again.
America's promise is not perfection today. It is the promise of a more perfect union, and making good on that promise is a collective task. Naturalized Americans gladly chose to accept that challenge, and when the game is not going our way, we don't threaten to take our toys and go home.

BkiUbJg5qsMAIxuM4PNp | Q: Add GridView Button Dynamically I have a asp.net form with a button1 and a gridview1. When i click button1, it performs a "select * from table" query and dumps the output to the gridview1.
//update Gridview1
GridView1.DataSource = _DataTable;
GridView1.DataBind();
I have set the autogeneratecolums property ti true for this to work.
But now what i want is that for each row in this gridView, i now want to create a new column called "Click" which contains a button for each row.
//Refetch data
DataColumn dc = new DataColumn("Click", typeof(ButtonField));
_DataTable.Columns.Add(dc);
ButtonField _ButtonField = new ButtonField();
_ButtonField.ButtonType = ButtonType.Button;
_ButtonField.Text = "Testing";
_DataTable.Rows[0].SetField("Click", _ButtonField);
//update Gridview
GridView1.DataSource = _DataTable;
GridView1.DataBind();
Its not working. Help
A: Change your code to this. This will add you a button on your Gridview. You can then handle its click event and write select code.
ButtonField buttonField = new ButtonField
{
ButtonType = ButtonType.Button,
Text = "Testing"
};
GridView1.Columns.Add(buttonField);

BkiUfYw25V5jQSoCdEl2 | Use of Smartphone Technology for Preoperative Counseling and Post-operative Monitoring Yields High Patient Satisfaction
Patients undergoing radical cystectomy (RC) reported high satisfaction with smartphone-based apps as a means to enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols, according to research presented at the 21st Annual Meeting of the Society for Urologic Oncology (SUO).
In addition to streamlining and optimizing post-surgery communication, the findings may provide patients with a socially distant alternative to in-person visits during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic.
"Given the tremendous anxiety and information overload that patients feel before and after RC, smartphone-based apps represent an opportunity to enhance communication between patients and care teams," wrote the researchers. "In light of the current COVID pandemic, they may also afford an opportunity to decrease reliance on in-person visits in the pre-operative and post-operative period."
From March 10 to July 2020 the study enrolled 27 patients undergoing RC, and encouraged them to register with Seamless MD, a digital platform that can be accessed by smartphone or computer. Of those patients, 17 (63%) participated in the Seamless MD pilot, with 14 patients (82.4%) completing the program, and 3 patients still within 30 days of surgery.
Electronic educational materials were distributed to patients via smartphone notifications, and preoperative prompts and instructions were sent to patients in the weeks leading up to their surgery. Post-operatively, activity reminders and questionnaires were sent to optimize recovery trajectory and assess symptom burden. Questions covered issues such as daily self-reported pain and ambulatory and anxiety levels.
Among the 6 patients who completed all pre-operative learning modules and answered all post-operative questionnaires, 4 reported that Seamless MD prevented at least 1 phone call to the clinic, with 1 patient reporting that it prevented a visit to the hospital.
An additional post-program survey was completed by 7 patients. The responses to those questions yielded the following results:
100% of patients said Seamless MD helped them feel more confident before surgery
57.1% of patients said Seamless MD helped them feel more confident during hospitalization
83.3% of patients said Seamless MD helped them feel more confident at home after surgery
Additionally, use of the Seamless MD app helped alleviate patients' fears, as 85.7% indicated that Seamless MD helped them feel less worried before surgery, and 71.4% noted Seamless MD helped them feel less worried during hospitalization.
ERAS protocols are known to be integral to successful recovery following RC, and the researchers noted that central to those protocol were pre-operative counseling and post-operative monitoring.
"Cognizant of social distancing during the COVID-19 era, we sought to replace traditional materials and post-operative visits with a smartphone-based application," they wrote.
Despite the small study size, the researchers believe that the study results were promising, and continued integration of technology would be beneficial to patients undergoing RC.
"We are hopeful that with wider integration into existing care pathways, smartphone-based apps will allow more efficient tracking of patient recovery at home, and lead to earlier detection and even prevention of post-RC complications."

The club now known as the 'Port Jefferson yacht Club' was originally founded in late 1959 as the 'Setauket Yacht Club'. The first By-Laws were accepted on October 7th, 1959. There was already a PJYC at the time, but that club's focus was power boats, and the new SYC was focused on sailing. Today, both types of mariners are equally welcome. Here are dates of some major milestones:
1959 – October 7 – Club Founded as the 'Setauket Yacht Club'. The name was in honor of the native tribe the 'Setalcott' who originally inhabited the region, although the club was never located in the 'Hamlet of Setauket' nearby. The club burgee has arrowheads on it:
1959 – The club used the Oldfield Lighthouse building for its first meetings:
1977 – Next 'Club House' acquired which was actually a used Ferry Boat that was originally run between Delaware and New Jersey. She was originally the 'New York', then the 'Norfolk' and ran between Norfolk and Hampton VA. Then she was the 'Newport' running between Newport and Jamestown RI. In 1969 she was sold to the city of Pawtucket where she was used as a youth art colony. A few members recall sailing school boats being stored in the car deck!
1980 – The Ferry was sold to the DiMillo family who still operates her as a floating restaurant in Portland Maine. You can see some history at their website: https://www.dimillos.com/about-us/history/
1981 – A new (and our current) clubhouse was constructed. This was right next to large fuel storage tanks (which are long gone).
Clubhouse in 2022
2009 – The club celebrated its 50th Anniversary. See the slideshow for that event by clicking the image on the right. It has more history and pictures.
2015 – August 21 – Club renamed to 'Port Jefferson-Setauket
Yacht Club Inc. d/b/a Port Jefferson Yacht Club' as there had not been a PJYC in many years and we were never located in Setauket, which caused confusion for visiting cruisers.
2022 – After several years of planning, Docks & Floats Director Alan Johnson led a major upgrade to our docks. This added proper slips for members and expanded the number of transient guest spots available, turning us into a proper marina facility.

BkiUf3jxK6-gDw5Ax3cZ | Our Double Chicken Wing Trophy is the perfect prize for a wing eating contest. This Award is HOT, nothing medium or mild about it! It is also great for your friend who loves chicken wings!
the wing trophies were a huge hit! Thank you so much for the quick turn around. Always a pleasure working with you!!
We ordered several of these chicken wing trophies for a competition in our food service program. These things are so realistic looking, it's crazy! Everyone loved them and they offer a great selection on the website. Definitely the place to go for obscure trophy needs!
Surfing around the web looking for fun and interesting things to enhance an event for a client and I found these!. A quick call to Far Out Awards and they were able to get me, customized trophies the next day. Great response and follow through and out clients were actually competing to compete in wing eating contests during their annual party. Everyone wanted one of these great trophies!
Very Nice and Just What We Needed!
After contacting a local trophy shop in West Palm and having no luck with a trophy for a planned Chicken Wing Challenge, I typed Chicken Wing Trophy into my web browser and was directed to Far Out Awards. Trophy is really nice! Wings look like they were just tossed in sauce!
My son and I are in a Fantasy Football league and he pushed me to make our own league to go head to head. The prize in our Chicken Wing League is, of course, a platter of wings and the loser has to wait on and feed the winner. I found this chicken wing trophy and thought it was the perfect idea to add to the fun. I can't wait to have him present it to me, since I am kicking his a** in our league. He does not know it is coming and, while it would be fun to present it to him, I will enjoy rubbing it in if I end up winning the Championship! It was very well packaged and in great shape and the engraving was exactly as requested. The finish on the wings is very glossy, just as an FYI. This will be our annual contest and the trophy will be proudly displayed, even is mom doesn't get it!
When I presented the award, many were laughing about how outrageous it is. "Where did you find such an appropriate award?" timeliness was important - it was delivered on time, and an email confirmation was made to us to re-assure that it would get there. Engraving was spot on. well done. We will do this again!
The Competition Is On Thanks To FarOut Awards!
Our very family is having a wing sauce competition this summer. We wanted a unique prize and found FarOut Awards online. The wing trophy jumped right off the page! The package arrived in a timely manner and the engraving is perfect (I had a specific request). The quality and price are fantastic!
It really is just what we needed for our intended purpose. The company seems to be great to deal with as the turn time was great and the inclusion of the " date needed in hand" field of the online ordering seemed reassuring that they understood. I bookmarked them and will recommend them to anyone who I know who has a specialized need. | c4 | 3 | 1 | 3 | 1 |
BkiUfIPxK7IAEwOJJncc | The city has indefinitely pushed off selling more taxi medallions as the market for the once-valuable medallions continues to plunge.
Mayor de Blasio's executive budget assumes no cash will come in from taxi medallion sales for the next five years.
The taxi medallions — once worth as much as a million dollars each — have fallen off a financial cliff as yellow taxis took a beating from competitors like Uber and Lyft. This year medallions have been selling for less than $200,000.
The city last sold 350 medallions in the 2014 fiscal year, and is authorized to sell 1,650 more under state law.
Since then, years of city budgets have projected revenue from the taxi sales that never materialized. As of November, the spending plan assumed $731 million would come in over five years.
Hizzoner's latest budget dispenses with the notion medallions will be flying off the rack any time soon.
"This change allows the city to continue to monitor the medallion market, and does not foreclose any medallion auctions at a future date," Taxi & Limousine Commissioner Meera Joshi (photo below) said Thursday at a City Council budget hearing.
"The prices have come down considerably," she said, adding that it's also become impossible for would-be buyers to get loans. "All the transactions are going to be without financing and all cash, which is certainly going to depress the value of it."
Matthew Daus, a former TLC chairman, said it was a smart move by the city to recognize the reality on the street.
"They'd be crazy to do a sale at this point in time," he said, noting that putting additional yellow cabs on the street amid declining ridership would have hurt already-suffering drivers.
Medallion owners have complained that they invested their savings in what they thought was a sure bet, since the law says only yellow cabs can take passengers who hail them on the street.
But that didn't account for apps like Uber, which is legally treated like a car service arranged by phone.
"The drivers are being hurt and the city is being hurt by the way this whole situation has been managed," said Carolyn Protz, a member of the NYC Taxi Medallion Owner Driver Association.
The collapse of the yellow cab industry has led to four driver suicides in recent months, industry advocates say.
The city has seen an influx of for-hire drivers, mostly for e-hail apps — doubling the number from 90,000 to 180,000 since 2011.
Officials say they're again looking to rein in the growth of Uber, both to cut down congestion and give a break to yellow cab drivers. A push by de Blasio to cap the number of cars the company could deploy three years ago collapsed.
The city also wants to find a way to bolster drivers' incomes.
"The number of licensed drivers has outstripped ... demand," Joshi said. "The administration's goal is to establish a regulatory framework to protect drivers' incomes." | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 3 |

BkiUbG05qsFAfmG_X4Eg | 24 Ago Kökler is a cross-cultural melting pot.
Kökler is a cross-cultural melting pot.
For spring, the team focused almost entirely on shirts
The collection's name, which means "roots" in Turkish, is designed by the multinational triumvirate of Emine and Hatice Sagdic, sisters of Turkish descent who were raised in Germany, and Kleant Stasa, an Albanian. The collection is manufactured in Italy using Italian fabrics.
The Sagdics met Stasa while the three were studying fashion design at AFOL Moda in Milan. After cutting their teeth at various design houses — Stasa at G.C.C Studio, Ports 1961 and Mila Schön, and the Sagdic sisters at Class Cavalli — they launched Kokler in 2013.
Hatice works on the collection full time, while her partners devote about 25 percent of their time to the brand, she said. Emine lives in Switzerland and works for her boyfriend's jeans company, while Milan-based Stasa does tailoring for men's suits.
Kokler's Summer Spring
They start planning a collection by Skyping, but always meet in Como, Italy, where Hatice lives, to finalize the line.
For spring, the team focused almost entirely on shirts. For their theme, they chose Nur Banu, the influential wife of Selim II, Sultan of the Ottoman Empire. Born in Italy, Nur Banu was abducted and taken to the royal harem where she became the favorite of Selim II. She eventually became a cultural bridge between the Ottoman Empire, the Venetian republic and the duchy of Verona.
"She was very strong and intelligent. She influenced the harem, the military and the system of education," Hatice said, adding that Kökler created three shirt lines, each influenced by one of Nur Banu's strengths, naming them Harem, Nizam and Ilim. "We like a woman with strength, but we also like some fragility".
She said the interplay between a woman's two sides is achieved with fabrics such as cotton organza, satin and Egyptian cotton.
Kökler's fall 2014 collection was shown at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in New York as part of the Italian emerging talents show. The label will present its Nur Banu line at Coterie, followed by the Pizzini Showroom in Milan.

BkiUcKY5jDKDyDF8wPvc | Who: Led by Dennis Nyback & Bill Crawford, with special guest speaker Sara Garrett, executive director of MotivSpace.
Mel Blanc arrived in Portland in 1915 and left in 1935. What happened in between?
Animation historian Dennis Nyback and Oregon Cartoon Institute project manager Bill Crawford will match key life events described in Mel Blanc's autobiography with the Rose City locations where they occurred. Some of the buildings important in the life of Mel Blanc are still standing. Where the building no longer stands, Dennis and Bill will describe what is gone (Portland Hotel, Oregonian Tower, Orpheum Theater) and explain what that location meant to the young artist.
Highlights will include Neighborhood House, where he learned to play the violin; Lincoln Hall, where he invented the Woody Woodpecker laugh; Multnomah Hotel where he was discovered; Oregonian Tower, where he first performed as a voice artist; and the Steel Bridge, where a tragic childhood accident took place which would inadvertently lead to his discovery of radio, which he loved for his entire life.
At the Hollywood Theatre and at Lincoln Hall, Dennis Nyback will screen films from his collection, including the very rare film, GI Journal, which features Mel Blanc performing live on radio. He is also showing a selection of Warner Brothers cartoons designed to show off Mel Blanc' extraordinary voice artistry.

BkiUeNQ4eIOjSc7LU7WJ | As a volunteer for Ronald McDonald House Charities® of the Bluegrass you have the opportunity to make a positive difference in the lives of our families! All volunteers must be 18 years or older, unless accompanied by an adult.
Consider how your skill-set might fit into some of the regular, weekly volunteer opportunities that may be available.
Please consider carefully whether the commitments of these opportunities will fit your schedule or other life commitments. Our volunteer application process is comprehensive; we request an application, interview, reference forms and background check. We then offer an orientation and training.
Energetic, customer service focused volunteers are vital to our Home. House volunteers perform a variety of duties including answering the phone, visiting with guest families, sorting donations, greeting visitors, conducting House tours, housekeeping, cleaning and preparing rooms for incoming guests. Volunteers usually work one, three-hour shift per week. Volunteer shifts are available daily between 9:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m.
The Ronald McDonald House transports families to and from area hospitals three times per day using the Ronald McDonald House van. A current driver's license is required and driving records will be checked on all prospective van drivers. Van drivers are asked to commit to at least one shift per month.
For those volunteers who would like to get involved, but cannot commit to weekly service – consider contributing your skills in an occasional volunteer capacity.
Nothing keeps families together like a "home" cooked meal!
Come prepare a breakfast or dinner for our families and receive the double blessing of both serving and meeting/greeting our wonderful families. We serve dinner at 7 p.m., seven days a weeks and have everything in our kitchen that you could need (except ingredients) to make a home-cooked meal. Breakfast is served on Saturdays and Sundays at 10:00 a.m.
Registered Dinner Groups can sign-up to prepare dinner by contacting Reuben Watson, Volunteer & Guest Services Manager, at 859-368-8437 or rwatson@rmhclexington.com. Click here for important details if you have already been scheduled to prepare a meal at the House.
Our kitchen is also available for "treat creation," all you need to bring is the ingredients and yourself! Baking Groups are a great way to introduce your family or youth group to the wonderful gift of community service. Whether you are looking for a great activity for the young or the young at heart, the scent of freshly baking goodies are sure to lift the spirits of those families staying at the House.
Occasional one-time volunteer opportunities are also available. Perfect for students, community service projects, and groups employed by service minded organizations this volunteer experience demonstrates that many hands make light work.
A home for 21 families demands continuous clean-up, which is easy if many join together to tackle the jobs. Come in to help clean out kitchen cupboards, disinfect the playroom, tidy up storage areas, dust the bookshelves, organize the linen closet and more! Household chores can be fun when done in cooperation with friends, in an environment which appreciates your visit. Chore groups are scheduled based on House needs and availability, groups of 10 or less are preferred.
Due to the nature of our House and the families that we serve, we are unable to provide service hours for court required incidents.
Committee members are charged with serving as a resource for staff, the organization and one another – sharing their expertise and working to achieve specific committee goals and objectives that support the mission of RMHC. Learn more about our different committees here!
Prefer to work from home?
If you are interested in helping families staying at Ronald McDonald House or one of our Ronald McDonald Family Rooms, but don't have an extended amount of time available to visit the House or the hospital, are too young, or have a group that is too large to accommodate, we have plenty of suggestions for things that you can work on from your very own home. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |
