Top 10 Concerts of 2018 - #4 - Janelle Monáe Top 10 Concerts of 2018 - #4 Janelle Monáe – Summerfest – Milwaukee, WI – July 6th 2018 Show #4 on the list is an artist whose live show is an impressive display of art and music and that is Janelle Monáe. Monáe headlined a set at Milwaukee's Summerfest, a giant twelve-day music festival with hundreds of artists, back in July in support of her Grammy-nominated album "Dirty Computer". Monáe is a dynamic live performer and this showed in her performance as she used dancers, multiple costume changes and impressive set designs to highlight songs off her 2018 album. The late Prince helped Monáe on this album and the influences shined through on songs such as "Make me Feel", "Take a Byte" and "Screwed". Her live performance was invigorating, and you could tell Prince had influenced in more aspects than just music. She performed a dance break before "Make me Feel" and "Purple Rain" accompanied the outro of her song "PrimeTime". Also her outfits fit the feel and design of the show perfectly. Monáe is an electrifying live performer and could be a Grammy winner when all is said and done next year. If you get the chance, check her out. Her show is hard to describe, you kind of just have to see it to see the spectacle and experience the energy. Come back soon for show #3 in the Top 10 Concerts of 2018!

The Pathfinder MK10 is identical in terms of fault detection as the MK8, but has the added benefit of a GSM/GPRS module to report the alarm state remotely. As an instrument it has proved remarkably successful and useful when tracking down repetitive transient faults that keep on tripping a pole mounted recloser. A few MK10 instruments located downstream of the recloser can be left out on the network for some days, waiting for the fault, which as soon as the trip occurs, will report their alarm status and the fault engineer can react immediately to find the fault quickly. Communications can be to the fault engineer's mobile telephone, or can be directed to a P.C. or laptop running data management software, which in itself can be linked to Control. A number of options exist for this to suit individual requirements. Very effective for tracking down repetitive transient faults. Can be moved to different locations to narrow the field of search for hard to find faults. 5 year battery life (for normal usage) from long life Lithium battery.

I later met Kathey Acker as my teacher at the San Francisco Art Institute, who introduced me to Gregory Corso, who introduced me to Bukowski at Brautigan's funeral.

Step into the excitement, drama and romance of days gone by. Historical romance novels are set before the World Wars. Experience the pain and loneliness of a Civil War romance, or the challenges of a young woman in late 19th century society. Historical romance novels can be set in any timeframe in history and in any geography. Step back into the American Revolution, the European Dark Ages, the French Revolution or Medieval or Victorian England Eight To One. Regency historicals often make powerful statements about the cost of war, but in the end it's the stories of love triumphing over the horrors that stay with me. War veterans are a staple of romance, and in historical romance no other battle figures more prominently than Waterloo. The great battle hardens some heroes, honing their strengths and preparing them for the challenges that civilian life might throw at them (including the love of a feisty heroine) Underground.

Can it really be 40 years since Monty Python's Life of Brian was released to a controversy that has had few parallels since? Watching it again after some time and from this distance it looks more than ever as a natural successor to The Holy Grail; as a collection of sketches pinned together with a slim narrative. That is still the case but it has a more fluid continuity than its predecessor and doesn't jar quite so much, which is the main problem for me with Holy Grail. Lovingly presented in its original standard definition it's threadbare production probably wouldn't benefit too much from a buff up in all honesty. But that's not what this is about as the essential element is the script which apart from some bits has aged very well. You can stop the film anywhere you want and you'll find a bone-fide classic sequence. And as well repeated as they are, they are still very funny. Never the greatest of actors the team just grab their allotted character(s) and run with them: Big Nose on the mount is still base raw comedy of insults, the sophistication of Brian's grammatically poor Latin graffiti and the teasing of Pontius Pilate in the throne room as the guards' corpseing are just some. There are many and it is infinitely quotable. What is interesting to consider now is that the narrative thread of Brian (Graham Chapman) doesn't these days look that offensive and tends to cast doubt on the oft cited assertion that this film couldn't be made today. Granted it does have a clear reference to the life of Jesus but I would suggest, it is actually quite respectful. Brian is by and large an innocent caught up in circumstances and it certainly doesn't appear blasphemous. The film however is scathing of those around him and what they represent: The pseudo intellectuals of the various Judean factions who debate endlessly and meaninglessly, and like many movements end up splitting and fighting amongst themselves. And, of course there's peoples' gullibility and weaknesses as they search for direction and guidance. What could play more difficult with a first-time audience (and does stick out more now than it did on first release) is the perceived mocking of some conditions such as stammering and maybe mental illness. If these scenes are awkward to watch now then they have to be seen in the context of the time it was made, and people can watch safe in the knowledge that it is very unlikely that these conditions would be held up to ridicule today. Monty Python's Life of Brian has a limited one-day release at selected cinemas on 18 April.

Archive of films Alien / Alien USA / United Kingdom Section: Midnight Screenings The crew of an interstellar cargo ship are on their way back to Earth when the onboard computer prematurely awakens them from hibernation. The passengers discover that the ship has intercepted a distant signal. After landing on a barren planet they find a wrecked spaceship, and on it a hatchery filled with strange eggs. The immortal sci-fi saga begins. Even forty years after its release, this brilliant collaboration between screenwriter Dan O'Bannon, biomechanical surrealist H. R. Giger and visionary director Ridley Scott remains just as stunning as in 1979, when it redefined the science-fiction genre. The creature, who arrives out of the depths of space, is no civilized extraterrestrial seeking to make contact with the human race; it is the embodiment of pure evil, as intelligent as it is remorseless. This visually captivating film works with our primal fear of the unknown and unseen amid the claustrophobic corridors of the spaceship Nostromo, where the mismatched crew must engage in an unequal struggle for survival – a struggle nobody will ever know about. Because in space, no one can hear you scream. Nikola Paggio Ridley Scott (b. 1937, South Shields, United Kingdom).

Naughty Dog: We've been asked to push Ellie to the back of the box art Last Of Us creative director and star Ashley Johnson tackle the sexism and game packaging Never has game packaging been such a hot topic, and now Naughty Dog's creative director on Last Of Us, and its star Ashley Johnson, have spoken out over the decision to put main character Ellie front and centre. "I feel like they don't put women on the covers because they're afraid that it won't sell," Ashley Johnson, who plays Ellie, told VG247. "It's all gamers really know - and I don't want to be sexist by any means - but I get the feeling, generally, that they think game's won't sell as well with a woman on the cover, compared to some badass dude on the front." Creative director Neil Druckmann agreed, and revealed there had been pressure to go for a more traditional, less female look to the retail product. "I agree with what Ashley said. I believe there's a misconception that if you put a girl or a woman on the cover, the game will sell less. I know I've been in discussions where we've been asked to push Ellie to the back and everyone at Naughty Dog just flat-out refused." The comments come just days after Irrational's Ken Levine was forced to defend his company's decision to go for a more generic, and male, style of packaging for Bioshock Infinite. "The money we're spending on PR, the conversations with games journalists - that's for the fans. For the people who aren't informed, that's who the box art is for."

Last edit by Andrew on 12th December 2012 4:53pm Christopher Garratty Associate Counsel, Activision Blizzard8 years ago Jim, I think they meant pushed to the back of shot. Not clear from his comments who was pushing for it though and I'm not one to speculate. Show all comments (17) Ben Gonshaw Game Design Consultant, AKQA8 years ago We're in risk averse times. In a sense, it's an unknown - even if mirror's edge sold 2m+ units with a female on the cover. Sure, putting a female lead on the cover might not affect sales. Alternatively, it might even make it stand out and result in more sales.... but... but... if they go conservative then it's reducing risk and avoiding the possibility that it will result in less sales. Sad thinking, but understandable thinking. John Kauderer Associate Creative Director, Atari8 years ago So because they could have taken her off the cover and didn't this is somehow a story? She's a major character in the game, of course she'd be on the cover. Same deal as Bioshock, Mirror's Edge, Final Fantasy XII, Tomb Raider, No One Lives Forever, Space Channel Five, Alice. Etc... etc... Andrew Jakobs Lead Programmer 8 years ago It all depends on what kind of woman (and what position/clothes) you put on the front of the cover, remember a lot of gamers are male teenagers/twentiers... Dr. Chee Ming Wong , Opus Artz Ltd8 years ago How does the headline savvy with the article? Feargus Carroll Producer 8 years ago @ John Kauderer The story is that they were asked; not that they refused. Edited 1 times. Last edit by Feargus Carroll on 12th December 2012 8:05pm @ Dr MCW Apart from this? "I agree with what Ashley said. I believe there's a misconception that if you put a girl or a woman on the cover, the game will sell less. I know I've been in discussions where we've been asked to push Ellie to the back and everyone at Naughty Dog just flat-out refused." Not sure... Jason Sartor Copy editor/Videographer, Florida Today8 years ago I don't think it's the fact a girl is on the cover that will bother most people - I will say 90 percent of people won;t pay any attention to a girl as some big deal on the cover of a game. I do think that a lot of people (PC people, some parents and some news outlets) are going to be angered/offended/outraged that a game features a 12-year-old carrying a gun on the cover and in the game, the 12-year-old elementary school girl commits acts of violence. Lollipop Chainsaw, Catherine, Blades of Time, DOA, Bayonetta, Tomb Raider, Final Fantasy XIII, etc. A lot of games feature a female on the cover of the box art. Greg Wilcox Creator, Destroy All Fanboys! 8 years ago This cracks me up because it's sad. Ellie is as important as whatshisname and in fact, it's BOTH their stories. having them share the cover is the best thing to do. Shit, just do a damned reverse cover that has the guy in front of Ellie for the gamers who get offended or whatever if they see a gal on the cover. I guess they'd probably want a pile of rocks in front of or on top of Lara Croft on that Tomb Raider reboot, but I'd bet that's not going to happen at all... This story implies that the publisher(Sony) is the one that suggested they move her to the back of the cover. I wish we could get some clarification but all signs are pointed in that direction anyway. Dave Herod Senior Programmer, Codemasters8 years ago @Greg Wilcox - I don't think it has anything to do with people being "offended". I think it's a lot more subtle than that, it's more about what subconsciously draws eyes towards the box rather than all the other games on display. I don't imagine many people go "oh, I was about to buy that game, but eww, there's a girl on the front". I'm sure if you ask most customers why they paid attention to some items more than others in a shop they wouldn't have a clue unless they thought about it for a while. People are manipulated by marketing all the time without even realising. Just look at how the average supermarket is laid out, it's very deliberate. Rick Lopez Illustrator, Graphic Designer 8 years ago Woman dont appear, in video game covers? A bad ass male guy will sell more than a hot chik on a cover? Seriously? Lollipop Chainsaw, Catherine, Blades of Time, DOA, Bayonetta, Tomb Raider, Final Fantasy XIII, etc. I dont think wether ellie is in or out of the cover is a big deal. I personally like having her on the cover because she is one of the main characters. It would suck if she wasnt on it. I mean look at God of War, an extremely pissed of albino white dude on the front cover sells. Ultimatly, the cover should reflect the theme of the game, and the one for The Last of Us does a good job. If the theme of the game is good, it should be ok to put any character in, female or male. Eric Leisy VR Production Designer, Nike8 years ago I think it's wonderful they are sticking to their guns on this. Ellie should be first on the cover! Ladies first right?? :) It's silly all of this debate about box covers, especially with the whole Bioshock Infinite cover fiasco and how they backed off their original cover. I love games with females on the covers... Pier Castonguay Programmer 7 years ago That's strange, I would bet big money that putting a girl on the cover actually help sales. That's just some marketing firms bullshit as usual trying to do the worst decisions possible. Anthony Gowland Director, Ant Workshop6 years ago This is not news. You're not kidding, it's an article from Dec 2012.

Many advisors and investors have utilized sector exchange traded funds to gain exposure to targeted areas of the market. However, maintaining the right mix of these various sectors is equally important. "Given the importance of a stock portfolio's sector mix to its outcome, monitoring a portfolio's sector mix may be one of the most important – yet often overlooked – efforts that can be pursued by an advisor," Fidelity strategists, led by Scott O'Reilly, said in a research note. Fidelity has found that over the past 25 years, sector exposure has had a larger impact on stock returns than style and market-cap combined, so investors should pay attention to their sector exposure to achieve a desired outcome or to better control for risks. For instance, different market environments can produce various effects on sector returns. During periods of accelerating U.S. economic growth, more economically sensitive sectors, like technology, consumer discretionary, industrials and financials, have outperformed on average between 1962 and 2015 while defensive sectors, like utilities and telecom services, underperformed. During periods of decelerating economic growth, defensive stocks outperformed more economically sensitive sectors since the products or services are more likely to be in demand regardless of the economic state. Sectors also show sensitivity to interest rate changes. When the 10-year Treasury bond yield falls or rises by more than 50 basis points over a 12-month period, rate-sensitive sectors, like utilities, telecom, and consumer staples, have either out- or under-performed. For example, with rates depressed and bond yields low, utilities has been the best performing sector this year.

NEW YORK, NY - SEPTEMBER 30: Juelz Santana attends In Conversation with The Diplomats - The Making of "Diplomatic Immunity" at the Harlem School of Arts on September 30, 2011 in New York City. (Photo by Paul Zimmerman/WireImage) Juelz Santana Loses Home to Foreclosure After Announcing Return to Rap Days after announcing his return to rap, Juelz Santana has lost his home to foreclosure. A final foreclosure judgment was issued on the 2,300 foot New Jersey condo on April 22, and the condo will be sold in a sheriff's auction. Santana bought the condo 11 years ago with a $486,000 Wells Fargo mortgage. After failing to make the $3,754 monthly payment since 2013, the bank filed a lawsuit against the Harlem rapper earlier this year. Santana was issued a warning regarding the pending foreclosure of his property and he was given 10 days to respond. His failure to do so led to the judgment being filed at the end of April. He now owes a reported $688,219 plus $7,000 in lawyers' fees. Let's hope his return to the hip-hop scene will help alleviate his financial woes.

6 stories of successful transformations of major brands February 5, 2019 brian Content Marketing, News 0 Transformations are a way to influence the brand's future, expand the audience and remain relevant in competitive markets. Changing your logo or slogan is associated with significant risks – especially for large, well-known brands. If you move too far from your basic concept, you can lose the base audience. But if the changes are not sufficiently appreciable, no one will notice anything. So, you are thinking about shaking your brand and taking up the transformation. Great, this article is for you! Let's see how six large companies were able to change for the better. 6 successful transformations of major brands 1) KFC The ubiquitous chicken industry has recently resurrected its bearded founder, Colonel Sanders. They did this in order to re-appear in the media, on television and in social networks. Colonel Sanders – the real person behind the brand – appeared in KFC advertising until his death in 1980. Sanders, in his signature white suit and bow tie, his great personality and natural skill turned out to be key to the success of the fast food franchise. In the 1990s and 2000s, the KFC network separated from the iconic image of their founder, first removing the actors who played Sanders, and then abandoned his animated version. This was a pretty revealing sign that the company is going to focus on the quality of food, staff and emphasis on the American roots of the brand under the slogan "So good." But it soon became clear that KFC without Sanders does not have its roots. In 2015, KFC attracted the advertising agency Wieden + Kennedy for the urgent modernization of the brand. It was necessary to increase sales and increase customer involvement. A new colonel, played last year by several actors, including Darrell Hammond and George Hamilton, is a quirky, patriotic representative of the brand. And although not everyone likes it, KFC is pleased that there are people who are talking about them again. "So far, the reaction has been approximately 80% positive, and 20% negative," said KFC CEO Greg Creed. "Now they, at least, have some opinion about us. In fact, everyone talks about KFC, and it does not matter who and how it relates to the brand, the main thing is that people are not indifferent to people. " 2) AX AXE – this is a continuous contradiction. In the past, the male brand was littered with advertising, on which we could see a lot of half-dressed women appearing whenever a man applied a body spray. Their ads with scandal turned out in many sexist reviews, including Adweek's Most Sexist Ads of 2013. This year Unilever decided to make big changes, promising to abandon sexist themes and stereotypes in all its advertising. This is a completely new direction for AX. "Masculinity is experiencing seismic changes today. More than ever, guys reject rigid stereotypes about men, "said Matthew McCarthy, senior director of Ax for Adweek. "We have been a part of the life of guys for decades, and Ax protects these guys and unique features that make them attractive to the world around them." In his last Amsterdam's 72andsunny campaign, AXE changes its usual formula with metrosexual guys, preferring instead the presentation of true masculinity. 3) MilkPEP If you took a magazine or watched TV in the 1990s or 2000s, you probably would have seen a celebrity who proudly brandished a milky mustache with the slogan "Got Milk?" Developed by the advertising agency Goodby, Silverstein & Partners, the advertisement "Got Milk?" Is usually referred to as one of the most iconic marketing campaigns of all time. For almost 20 years, MilkPEP has used this slogan to promote the consumption of natural milk at the national level. But the campaign "Got Milk?" Could not stop the decline in sales of dairy products due to the growing popularity of soy milk in 2014. "Over the past few years, the dairy industry has experienced a difficult period. It seems that consumers forget about milk, "Julia Kadison, interim chief executive officer of MilkPEP, shared her thoughts for USA Today. "The consumer needed to be educated and constantly reminded of the nutritional value of milk." The decline in sales of milk milk prompted MilkPEP to stop advertising "Got Milk?" In favor of the renewed Milk Life campaign. She focuses on ordinary people, not celebrities, and highlights the high protein content of natural milk. Another Milk Life series attempts to separate natural milk from popular alternatives, such as almond milk. 4) Buick To get rid of his old image and attract young drivers, Buick re-launched several updated versions of its cars in 2014, as well as a new gay advertising campaign. The TV commercials "That's a Buick?", Which were released in 2014, played against the older, lifeless image of a Buick car with a new one, showing unbelieving consumers that a sleek and modern car in front of them is actually Buick. "We attack ourselves directly, because now we have a new portfolio," Buick's vice president of marketing Tony Disalla told Automotive News today. "We know that it takes a long time to change the perception of consumers." The advertisement was produced by DigitasLBi, and deftly introduced the more recent, more advanced side of the car company. And in 2016, Buick is further advanced even further, receiving the help of comedian comedians Ellie Kemper and Max Greenfield. 5) GoDaddy Known for its provocative advertising campaigns, the domain registrar and the web hosting company in recent years have made conscious steps away from their macho image, instead decided to focus on small business owners who depend on their services. For many years GoDaddy's marketing seemed to be centered around the saying that "any mention in the press is good." They fanned the controversy left and right with their vivid television commercials, their ads were often condemned as sexist. GoDaddy CEO Blake Irving even showed in an interview with The New York Times that a group of women owners of small businesses – put pressure on Etsy to stop cooperating with GoDaddy. Under the guidance of the marketing director Phil Biner and director of the worldwide advertising agency TBWA / Chiat / Day New York, the company's advertising now allows it to better serve its real CA – small business owners, including the female. "In the past we had well-known, very visible statements, and as we developed in the United States, where 58% of small businesses are owned by women, we had a bad experience in advertising, which prompted us to abandon tactics , Which we chose earlier, "said Bienert AdAge. The recent GoDaddy ads depict amusing small business owners, for example, an artist who designs small hats for cats. 6) Bud Light In 2016, beer for football matches and student parties received its first rebranding for 15 years, along with a humorous new series of advertisements parodying presidential elections. The new logo and design is less sporty and more like the label's trends. In recognition of the 160-year tradition of brewing their main company, the Anheuser-Busch emblem appears on the front and back of the bottle. The composition may be similar to the original Budweiser packaging, but the rethought design is designed to appeal to a new generation of beer lovers. "Anheuser-Busch seeks to find the right appearance and messaging to attract thousands of consumers who may never have tried Bud Light," – Erik Shepard, executive editor of Beer Marketer's Insights, told Entrepreneur . Despite the fact that Bud Light is a very popular beer on the American market, everyone notices that the popularity of craft beer is growing. Along with the renewal of packaging in the crafting style, the brand also worked with its sense of humor to keep up with the trends of time. "If you look at the humor that was relevant back in the 80's, 90's, early 2000's, it was not the same as now," – Business Insider Vice President Bud Light Alexander Lambrecht. Bud Light's newest commercials were created by Wieden + Kennedy and are focused on a fictional political party, Bud Light, naturally led by comedians Amy Schumer and Seth Rogen. Thematic advertising shows a laid-back and direct view of politics: Rogen and Schumer support same-sex marriages, equal pay and, of course, beer. "We do not care, we will sell you beer!" – says Rogan, thus promoting equality. Google Optimize came out of beta Useful Excel formulas and functions for SEO

Q: An approximation of $\sqrt{1 + x}$ or $\sqrt{x}$ with connections to combinatorics or random walk? I am looking for an approximation of $\sqrt{1 + x}$ or $\sqrt{x}$. We know $\sqrt{1 + x}$ has a Taylor expansion: ${\displaystyle {\sqrt {1+x}}=\sum _{n=0}^{\infty }{\frac {(-1)^{n}(2n)!}{(1-2n)(n!)^{2}(4^{n})}}x^{n}=1+{\frac {1}{2}}x-{\frac {1}{8}}x^{2}+{\frac {1}{16}}x^{3}-{\frac {5}{128}}x^{4}+\cdots ,}$ But for the problem I am working on, (a problem in random walk), I would like to get an alternative approximation of $\sqrt{1 + x}$ or $\sqrt{x}$, and hope it has some natural connections to combinatorics or probability or random walk. Is there an approximation of $\sqrt{1 + x}$ or $\sqrt{x}$ which has some connections to combinatorics or probability or random walk ?

If you don't want to lose to operate leveraged ETFs, you should read this July 31, 2009 by Paola Pecora many times, before a market rise, we have encountered this exclamation employed or self-employed: why not habre bought more! The same to a low: why not habre sold twice!. Well, it is no more necessary is to curse and ruin the day, because the possibility of double or triple the acquired position is feasible with a new product in the United States stock market. We already know the ETFs (Exchange Traded Funds or paid-up funds) that are investment instruments that allow you to replicate the performance of various indexes that can represent both a representative market indexes, as to certain sectors, as international companies, and its use allows the possibility both diversify our investment portfolios to take maximum advantage of a positive market trend for us, and diversify our portfolio to reduce risk. These ETFs are traded in the same way that a joint action, you can buy and sell during market, without the stipulated time of permanence nor penalties for anticipated rescue. And to not return to lament us as at the beginning of this article, and if we are very confident of a bullish or bearish trend in a sector, an index or certain companies in a country, came the leveraged ETFs (Leveraged ETF) that allow you to double and even triple the performance of their benchmark indices. Is it not perhaps brilliant double and triple earnings? Yes, it is. But not everything is so easy and wonderful as it seems, and that is due to the trap of leverage. A question to be taken into account and that many investors do not know is that the leverage of the ETF is reviewed and adjusted every day, is to say that if a leveraged ETF lateraliza a time, its value could fall heavily in that period.

Technical Support Specialist | Tecplot, Inc. In my technical support role here at Tecplot, Inc., I have learned that choosing the best plotting image formats may not be the highest priority for many scientists and engineers, but it definitely is considered important. After all, it would be a shame to spend all of that time carefully analyzing your results and making those plots oh-so-pretty only to have the images look less-than-stellar outside of Tecplot products where everyone will see them. If your primary intent is to share your results onscreen in the form of a presentation, an email, or informal report, I recommend the Portable Network Graphics (PNG) format. The image file size is small but the quality on screen is indistinguishable from the original plot. The file format also is highly compatible with operating system image viewers, office applications, email applications, and Web browsers, as long as you aren't still using a 90s-era browser like Netscape Navigator 3. If your primary intent is to publish the image, either digitally as a PDF or physically as a printed piece, I recommend the Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) format. While PNG is a pixel-based image, EPS is a vector image, which maintains its smooth definition when scaled. The Windows Metafile (WMF) format also is recommended for Windows-only applications. The only two downsides with EPS and WMF files are that they don't support translucency and file sizes can be large. To export plot images in Tecplot 360 or Tecplot Focus, choose the Export option from the File menu (In Tecplot RS, the Export option is available in the Project menu). If you want more information on the available exporting options, click on the Help button at the bottom of the export dialog.

Смотрите также: Many-in-one Games, Arcade Games, 2D Platformer Games, Download Fighting Games, Games Like Galaga Capcom Arcade Stadium is yet another compilation pack from the arcade masters that are known as Capcom. I have lost count at this point of how many times, Capcom has re-released some of these games. Yet, as I keep on buying these same games over and over again on every console since these compilations started on the PS2, I really cannot complain. I do have to say that this is something really cool and you can try it out for free. What Do I Get For Free? Ok, so Capcom Arcade Stadium can be downloaded on STEAM (and other systems) for free. What you get for free is the actual software which is great and you get access to 1943, the classic Capcom arcade shooter. You also get logos and wallpapers for the game in the bundle. Now, as I write this, Capcom are also giving you Ghosts n Goblins for free as well. That is two all time classics for nothing. At the very least, it is worth downloading for those games alone. What Is The Catch? Well, Capcom is supporting Capcom Arcade Stadium by selling packs of games. Currently, as I write this there are three packs of games, each pack is themed around a few years in gaming. You can buy all three packs together at the same time and save some money. If you factor in how much all of the pack's costs, you are getting 30 arcade classics for what equals to around a buck per game! I think this is great value for money. A Line Up Of Classics Granted, what is classed as a classic is all subjective, but I think Capcom has done a great job with the library of games on offer here. You get three versions of Street Fighter II, Final Fight, Captain Commando, Strider, Forgotten Worlds, 1944: The Loop Master, Giga Wing, and many more. That is just the games that appealed to me off the top of my head, but I think that the majority of the games in this collection are at the very least, good. Classic Games In A Modern World I also want to talk about what makes Capcom Arcade Stadium one of the best overall services Capcom has done. To start with the UI and the way the service looks is great, you get a bunch of wallpapers and you can customize your setup so that it looks just the way you want. I found this way more fun than I thought I would! They also give you various display options where you can smooth things out, use scanlines, and so on. They even let you rewind a game while you are playing it which is neat. There are online leaderboards too so you can prove to your friends that you are the ultimate retro gamer. For a collection of classic games, I do feel that Capcom has tried really hard to make this a package that is attractive, even for those of us that have bought these games many times before. Including the various Street Fighter collections (which I first bought back during the PS1 days! I have purchased some of these games as many as eight times. I even have the Arcade 1Up Street Fighter II machine in my game room! The point I am making is that if I, someone who has already bought many of these games multiple times thinks that the Capcom Arcade Stadium is a good package, you can be sure that it is. I think the whole way this is presented is great and it is awesome having all these games on my STEAM account. It is also worth noting, it is on other platforms too. You get two great games without spending a penny The whole service looks and feels cool I like the way it celebrates the history of Capcom The asking price for all of the game packs is more than fair You have probably plated these games a million times before By the time you read this, Ghosts n Goblins may not be available for free Скачать Capcom Arcade Stadium Capcom Classics Collection Vol. 1 Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy Qubed Sakura Flamingo Archives Tecmo Classic Arcade Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise

Flying Dutchman Funicular (oversat til dansk: Den Flyvende Hollænder Kabelbane) er en kabelbane ved Cape Point, nær Kap det Gode Håb i Western Cape-provinsen i Sydafrika. Cape Point Ved Cape Points parkeringsområde findes souvenirbod, posthus, kiosk, restaurant o.m.a. Der er billetsalg til kabelbanen, som fører op til det øverste af stedets to fyrtårne, og hvorfra der er den bedste udsigt over Det Indiske Ocean og False Bay. Banens navn Flying Dutchman Funicular, som af nogle kaldes Cape Point Funicular, er så vidt vides den eneste kommercielle kabelbane i hele Afrika. Den har sit navn fra legenden om spøgelsesskibet Den flyvende Hollænder, som huserer i havet syd for Afrika, hvor Atlanterhavet møder Det Indiske Ocean. Banens forløb Banelinjen løber mellem den nederste station (dalstationen) ved Cape Points parkeringsareal, gennem det lave buskads (kaldet 'fynbos') og op til det øverste fyrtårn. Banen er bygget som erstatning for Flying Dutchman-bussen, der måtte give op overfor et stigende antal turister. Bussen kørte sin sidste tur i 1996. Banen følger samme vej, som bussen oprindeligt kørte.

MPS AND INDUSTRY LEADERS WELCOME £160M GREEN ENERGY PLANS MPs and industry leaders have welcomed the UK government's £160m promise to power every home in the UK with offshore wind energy by 2030, saying it will create jobs and drive economic growth for the rest of the decade. However, environmental groups have claimed the plan for wind power falls far short of the £48bn that analysts say is necessary, and shadow business, energy and industrial strategy secretary Ed Miliband described the £160m funding as a drop in the ocean, claiming it paled in comparison to the investment by France and Germany in green jobs. Prime minister Boris Johnson made the commitment in his speech to the Conservative Party Conference earlier this week, unveiling £160m in funding that will directly create 2,000 jobs in construction and support 60,000 more in the wider supply chain. £160m will be made available to upgrade ports and infrastructure across communities including Teesside and Humber in northern England, Scotland and Wales to hugely increase the UK's offshore wind capacity. Ministers say this new investment will see around 2,000 construction jobs rapidly created and will enable the sector to support up to 60,000 jobs directly and indirectly by 2030 in ports, factories and the supply chains, manufacturing the next-generation of offshore wind turbines and delivering clean energy to the UK. The prime minister has also set out further commitments claiming that, within the decade, the UK will be at the forefront of the green industrial revolution as the country accelerates progress towards net zero emissions by 2050. Confirming offshore wind will produce more than enough electricity to power every home in the country by 2030, based on current electricity usage, boosting the government's previous 30GW target to 40GW; Creating a new target for floating offshore wind to deliver 1GW of energy by 2030, which is over 15 times the current volumes worldwide. Building on the strengths of the North Sea, this brand new technology allows wind farms to be built further out to sea in deeper waters, boosting capacity even further where winds are strongest and ensuring the UK remains at the forefront of the next generation of clean energy; Setting a target to support up to double the capacity of renewable energy in the next Contracts for Difference auction, which will open in late 2021 - providing enough clean, low cost energy to power up to 10 million homes. These commitments are the first stage outlined as part of the prime minister's ten-point plan for a green industrial revolution, which will be set out fully later this year. This is expected to include ambitious targets and major investment into industries, innovation and infrastructure that will accelerate the UK's path to net zero by 2050. Prime minister Boris Johnson said: "Our seas hold immense potential to power our homes and communities with low-cost green energy and we are already leading the way in harnessing its strengths. Now, as we build back better we must build back greener. So we are committing to new ambitious targets and investment into wind power to accelerate our progress towards net zero emissions by 2050. "This sets us on our path towards a green industrial revolution, which will provide tens of thousands of highly-skilled jobs. Together with planned stringent requirements on supporting UK manufacturers in government-backed renewables projects, these measures will mean the industry can reach its target of 60% of offshore wind farm content coming from the UK." The cross-party parliamentary Committee on Climate Change (CCC) welcomed the news. CCC deputy chair, Baroness Brown of Cambridge, said: "This announcement will boost the UK's source of cheap, low-carbon electricity to power our homes, businesses, vehicles and appliances – whilst delivering green jobs up and down the country. If we're to reach net zero UK emissions by 2050, we'll need to see similarly bold commitments to cut emissions from our buildings, industry, transport and land. But today's pledge, if delivered, is a positive sign that we're heading in the right direction." Civils contractors also welcomed the news. Alasdair Reisner, chief executive of the Civil Engineering Contractors Association (CECA), said: "CECA has long argued that the UK needs a mixed portfolio of energy generation and our geographical position as an island nation means we are ideally suited to taking advantage of offshore wind energy. The government's commitment to building back greener will create tens of thousands of jobs in the infrastructure sector, particularly in rural areas, and will offer opportunities to smaller companies in all parts of the UK. "Offshore wind provides cheap electricity and will support high-quality jobs, as well as enabling the UK to tackle climate change and meet our low carbon commitments. It is an exciting time for the sector, which will act as a launch pad for our wider economic recovery from Covid-19, and deliver the low carbon generation businesses and communities will rely upon for many years to come." However, leading environmental figures and shadow business, energy and industrial strategy secretary Ed Miliband all claimed the £160m plans fell a long way short of the investment required. Miliband said: "The funding announced today, spread over ten years, is a drop in the ocean, and pales in comparison to the investment by France and Germany in green jobs. The government must urgently bring forward a genuinely ambitious green recovery that will create jobs now on the scale needed to meet the challenge of the climate emergency and unemployment crisis." Green Party co-leader Jonathan Bartley welcomed the prime minister's conversion to wind power, but warned that much more is needed. Bartley said: "The level of investment proposed by the prime minister is nowhere near matching his rhetoric. The £160m for wind power falls far short of the £48bn that analysts say is necessary. The government needs to set out where this investment will come from. Nor will it provide what we need to power every sector of the economy, most notably transport. The Green Party proposes that 70% of the country's electricity should be provided by wind by 2030. The government's proposals fall far short of this." THIS FRIDAY!

Jerusalem Post Israel Elections When politics and diplomacy intersect- analysis Gantz criticized Netanyahu, saying it would be better had he visited various cities around Israel rather than spend his time abroad. Published: SEPTEMBER 5, 2019 22:50 Benny Gantz talks at influencer conference in Tel Aviv (photo credit: KOBI RICHTER/TPS) LONDON – Blue and White Knesset members came to the Knesset on Wednesday morning and speculated on what country Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu would visit ahead of the September 17 election to remind voters of his diplomatic credentials. They spoke about sending their MKs around the world to tell world leaders not to invite Netanyahu because he was on his way out. Hours later, Netanyahu announced that he would fly to London the following day. Blue and White leader Benny Gantz used the occasion to issue his strongest attack on Netanyahu in months. "What we are seeing these days are Benjamin Netanyahu's travels around the world, from place to place, simply throwing dust in the eyes of the public," he told Channel 12's conference in Tel Aviv. "But you understand, [Russian President Vladimir] Putin makes all of his moves based on the interests of Putin and of Russia. [US President Donald] Trump does what he does for Trump and for the United States alone, and not because of Netanyahu. Instead of traveling around the world, Netanyahu needs to visit Hadera and continue onward to Golani Junction and Kiryat Shmona, which are apparently boring him." That attack set off Netanyahu, who has mostly ignored Gantz for two elections in a row. He explained how the timing of the trip had to do with the schedule of new US Defense Secretary Mark Esper, whom he met for the first time, and not with the coming election. "I heard someone say we are here for political reasons," he said. "This is a lie, far from the truth. I don't sell out our security. There are threats rising around us, and we will deal with them." So who is right? They both are. There are rare times in the life of a politician when his political and professional interests intersect. This was true for Netanyahu, who avoided being in the country on the day when he knew there would be a very anti-Netanyahu conference of Channel 12, which the prime minister has called to boycott. It was also true for his British counterpart, Boris Johnson. Netanyahu met with Johnson a day after he failed at his goal of initiating a snap election to get a new parliament ahead of big steps on Brexit. People kept asking why Johnson cleared time for Netanyahu on such a day. The very fact that such a question was being asked proved it was smart of Johnson to hold the meeting. There is no smarter move after a day of bad news in politics than to fully engage professionally. For Johnson, meeting with Netanyahu and US Vice President Mike Pence provided a welcome rest from internal politics. But on Friday, Netanyahu will go back to the election in Israel, and Johnson will go back to his internal problems. The worst thing about a vacation, whether in or out of the country, is it never lasts forever.

Motherhood Moment: Thrifty Thinking: Are You At Risk for Wealth Shock? Thrifty Thinking: Are You At Risk for Wealth Shock? Middle-aged Americans who experience a major economic blow – called a "wealth shock" – have a 50 percent greater risk of dying early than those who don't, according to a new study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association. The findings suggest a wealth shock is as dangerous as a new diagnosis of heart disease, says Dr. Alan Garber of Harvard University. About 1 in 4 people in the study have had a wealth shock, averaging a loss of about $100,000. Often it was a result of a drop in the value of retirement investments or a home foreclosure. There are two major reasons most Americans are likely to experience a dangerous wealth shock, Pamela says. Most people have little or no safe and liquid cash reserves to tide them over when an emergency strikes, according to the Federal Reserve Survey of Consumer Finances. Avoid the conventional financial advice to have most of your nest-egg in volatile, unpredictable investments. "A strong financial foundation must rest on a bed of safe and liquid cash reserves for stability, accessible resources, and restful nights," Pamela says. "Invest only after you have a stable financial base to support you.

Intellectual Property Cases in India Written by Avani Yadav This article talks about meaning of intellectual property and also gives information about important intellectual property cases. Intellectual Property Meaning Property is corporal property and incorporeal property or tangible property and intangible property. Intellectual property meaning is a right pervading some material object. Intellectual property (IP) refers to creations of the intellect for which a monopoly is assigned to designated owners by law. The intangible products of a man's brain are as valuable as his land, building, goods, money, belongings etc. it is quite different from real property or a formal property. In fiction, it is a property. Therefore called as intellectual property. The rights relating to the intellectual property however recognized by law as the subject matter of rights of various intangible or immaterial products is human intelligence, skills and labor. In short intellectual property is basically a creation of intellect or relates to intellect. Intellectual property rights are legal rights which govern the use of creations of the human mind and work. Intellectual property rights (IPRs) thus granted to the creators of IP, and include trademarks, copyright, patents, industrial design rights, and in some jurisdictions trade secrets. Artistic works including music and literature, as well as discoveries, inventions, words, phrases, symbols, and designs can all protected as intellectual property. Here are some some Intellectual Property cases which are as follows:- Intellectual Property cases Satyam Infoway Ltd. v. Sifynet Solutions Pvt. Ltd., Supreme Court of India AIR 2004 SC 3540 This is a very famous and landmark case where the Supreme Court of India decided on the issue of domain name protection for the first time in its history. This was the case wherein the apex court declared that the Indian Trade Marks Act, 1999 was applicable to the regulation of domain names as well. Satyam Infoway (hereinafter referred to as the appellant) had registered several domain names pertaining to its business: sifynet.com, sifymall.com, sifyrealestate.com, in the year 1999. It held that the word "Sify" was a combination of elements of its corporate name "Satyam Infoway" and was a term that had garnered substantial goodwill in the market. Meanwhile, Sifynet Solutions (hereinafter referred to as the respondent) had started using the word "Siffy" as part of the domain names under which it carried on internet marketing (namely siffynet.com and siffynet.net). It claims to have registered the same in the year 2001. Subsequently the appellant filed a suit in City Civil Court, Bangalore seeking an injunction against the respondent. The appellant held that the respondent had registered the similar sounding domain names intentionally in order to carry out their business transactions under the goodwill and brand name of the former. And that it would create a confusion in the minds of the public who would think that the services of Sifynet belongs to Satyam Infoway. The respondent contended that unlike a trade mark, the registration of a domain name did not confer an intellectual property right in the name. The court ruled in favor of the appellant and granted the injunction in their favor. It held that the appellant was the prior user of the word 'Sify' as a result of which it enjoyed immense popularity and goodwill in relation to internet and other computer related services. Thereby, if the respondent is allowed to further continue with the use of the domain names it would in all likelihood create confusion in the minds of the public. And that it may in all possibility affect the business of the appellant. Thereafter, the respondents appealed to the Karnataka High Court. The Court stated that respondent had already invested a considerably high amount of sum in developing a customer base for its business and it would consequently suffer immense hardship and irreparable injury if the court ruled in the appellant's favor. Further it held that the business which the parties engaged in were different and therefore there was no likelihood of any confusion in the minds of the public. Not satisfied with the decision given by the Karnataka High Court, the appellants went for an appeal before the Supreme Court of India. The case was decided by a division bench comprising Justices Ruma Pal and P. Venkatarama Reddi. It set aside the decision of the High Court and ruled in favor of the appellants. It held that though no there was no law in India which explicitly deals with the domain names, it falls within the ambit of the Trade Marks Act. Then it further observed that a domain name enjoyed all features of a trademark. Accordingly it ruled that if the respondent was allowed to further continue using the domain names it would in all likelihood create a confusion in the minds of the general public. A user could be diverted to the website containing the unauthorized domain name. And upon his arrival at the website, if he does not find the goods or services associated with the mark, he might think that the legitimate owner was misrepresenting the claims. This would result in the loss for the legitimate owner, thereby affecting his goodwill and brand name. Thus the apex court granted an injunction in favor of the appellants, thereby restraining the respondents from further using the domain names in their business transactions. DM entertainment v Baby Gift House and ors. [MANU/DE/2043/2010] Daler Mehndi, the most famous pop star hailing from Punjab has created a niche audience and is immensely popular amongst Punjabi-pop music lovers. The appellant company was incorporated in 1996 to manage the artist's escalating career. The crux of the case is that the defendants had prolific businesses in selling miniature toys of Daler Mehndi and majorly cashed on to his popularity. Majorly aggrieved, the plaintiff company filed for permanent injunction from infringing the artist's right of publicity and false endorsement leading to passing off. The plaintiff company had been assigned all the rights, titles and interests in the personality of the artist along with the Trademark, Daler Mehndi. It was contended by the plaintiff that the unauthorized or unlicensed use of or any part of the reputation of the artist, with respect to goods or services of any manner will lead to make an impression on the public that the goods or services are associated with the singer. And hence, it was submitted that such a use would lead to passing off. It was further averred by the plaintiff that such use was done for commercial exploitation without adequate permission from the person or any other authorized by him, shall constitute infringement of the person's right to publicity. Section 29 of the Trademark Act-1999 (hereinafter the Act) lays down the aspects of infringement of trademark. It elucidates that a when a person is using, in course of trade any mark, which is identical or deceptively similar to a registered mark and which he is not entitled or licensed to use shall be deemed to infringe onto the rights of the person who has the lawful right over the mark. The Act does not give a specific description of passing off as a result it has been derived through judicial precedents drawn from common law. Put simply , passing off would occur when the mark is not only being used deceptively similar to the mark of another but it is being used to create confusion in the minds of the consumer that results in the damage or loss of business for the person or company who/which is the lawful owner of the trademark. Character merchandising is an area of law which is unexplored in India. The first case that dealt with this was Star India Private Limited v Leo Burnett India (Pvt.) Ltd. The courts in India in these earlier cases, had not dealt with publicity rights. In this case the Court did so quite emphatically. The court meted out a compensatory amount to the tune of Rs. 1,00,000 to the Plaintiff. The intent of the judiciary is clear. The Coca-Cola Company Vs. Bisleri International Pvt. Ltd [Manu/DE/2698/2009] The Delhi High Court held that if the threat of infringement exists, then this court would certainly have jurisdiction to entertain the suit. It was also held that the exporting of goods from a country is to be considered as sale within the country from where the goods are exported and the same amounts to infringement of trademark. In the present matter, the defendant, Bisleri by a master agreement, had sold and assigned the trademark MAAZA including formulation rights, know-how, intellectual property rights, goodwill etc for India only with respect to a mango fruit drink known as MAAZA to Coca-Cola. In 2008, the defendant filed an application for registration of the trade mark MAAZA in Turkey started exporting fruit drink under the trademark MAAZA. The defendant sent a legal notice repudiating the agreement between the plaintiff and the defendant, leading to the present case. The plaintiff, the Coca Cola Company also claimed permanent injunction and damages for infringement of trademark and passing off. It was held by the court that the intention to use the trademark besides direct or indirect use of the trademark was sufficient to give jurisdiction to the court to decide on the issue. The court finally granted an interim injunction against the defendant (Bisleri) from using the trademark MAAZA in India as well as for export market, which was held to be infringement of trade mark. John Richard Brady & Others. v. Chemical Process Equipment Pvt. Ltd, Delhi High Court AIR 1987 Delhi 372 This is a case concerning the legal principle of copyright infringement involving trade secrets and engineering. John Richard Brady (hereinafter referred to as Brady) was a Mechanical Engineer from the U.S and also the President and Managing Director of Fometa Overseas S.A. Castellana, Madrid, Spain. He conceived the idea of growing fresh green grass used as basic food for livestock in a compact unit capable of producing grass throughout the year irrespective of external climatic conditions. Thereafter in 1972 he developed the original Fodder Production Unit (hereinafter referred to as the FPU). After carrying out extensive research and experiments, he invented an improved Fodder Production Unit. He applied for grant of patent in India in relation to the FPU and his patent application was pending. Brady was the owner of copyright in the drawings of the FPU and was entitled to the exclusive right of publishing and reproducing the drawings whether two dimensionally or three dimensionally as he considered apt. For these purposes Brady set up two companies in India: Fometa (India) Machine Private Ltd, a joint venture company and Sanjeevani Fodder Production Private Ltd. Accordingly he along with the members of the two companies decided that a phased programme should be adopted to manufacture the FPU in India for both domestic and export sales. For the manufacture of the FPU, the he sought quotations from Chemical Process Equipment Pvt. Ltd for the supply of thermal panels manufactured by it. The panels required were of highly specialized type and order. And to enable the company to manufacture the components of the FPU precisely, all the technical material, detailed know how, drawings and specifications concerning the FPU were passed on them under the express condition that it must maintain strict confidentiality regarding all the information given. Later, Brady discovered the inability of the company to supply the required thermal panels and cancelled all the orders given to them. It was alleged that Managing Director along with other representatives of the company made several visits to Goa where Brady's FPU was in operation in order to acquire the working know how and technology of the FPU. Some of these visits were without the knowledge of Brady who was later informed about them by his employees. Thereafter in November, 1985 he came to know that Chemical Process Equipment Pvt. Ltd was developing their own FPU by falsely representing that the innovation concerning the FPU was originated from them. The company described the Machine produced by them as 'pushti'. And a suit was filed in the Delhi High Court by Brady seeking for an injunction which would restrain Chemical Process Equipment Pvt. Ltd from manufacturing and selling machines that were substantial imitation and reproduction of the drawings of the former's FPU or from using in any other manner whatsoever the know-how, specifications, drawings and other technical information about the FPU disclosed to them by the former. Brady contended that the Machine produced by the company was entirely based upon disclosures made them formerly and that they committed breach of confidence reposed in them. They wrongfully converted and misappropriated the know how information, drawings, designs, and specifications disclosed to them under strict confidentiality and have also infringed the his copyright by making the Machine in three dimensional form. He further contended that the Machine produced by the company was an inferior version of his own FPU. He claimed claim jurisdiction of this court to entertain and try the suit under Section 62(2) of the Copyright Act, 1957 on the ground that he has been carrying on his business along with the two companies he set, for profit and gain at Delhi and that the Chemical Process Equipment Pvt. Ltd have also been circulating pamphlets of the infringing Machine and offering it for sale at Delhi. However, Chemical Process Equipment Pvt. Ltd contended that they have neither infringed copyright of Brady nor are they liable for breach of any confidence reposed on them. They denied that the technical Drawings of the FPU are artistic work, but they did not didn't oppose the fact that Brady was the owner of the copyrights in the Drawings. They further contended that there were other firms making such Machines in the international market for a long time, namely, LAND SAVERS and SOMERSET ZERO GRASS U.K. and DHANY A, India. And that the FPU was based on the long known theory of Hydroponic System. Hence they completely denied that Brady gave them any Drawings or technical material or know how concerning the FPU. They further questioned the territorial jurisdiction of this Court on the ground that Brady did not actually reside in Delhi nor does he carry on any business in Delhi and that they themselves do not reside or work in Delhi. The case was decided by a Single Judge Bench of the Delhi High Court comprising of Justice A B Saharya. He ruled that unless Chemical Process Equipment Pvt. Ltd was restrained by injunction, irreparable injury and loss would be caused to Brady and his establishments by the former if they continue to manufacture and sell their Machine. Further he laid down that it was in the interest of justice to restrain the company from using the know-how, specifications, drawings and other technical information regarding Brady's FPU entrusted to them under express condition of strict confidentiality. Thus, the court restrained the Chemical Process Equipment Pvt. Ltd from manufacturing and selling machines that were substantial imitation and reproduction of the drawings of Brady's FPU or from using in any other manner whatsoever the know-how, specifications, drawings and other technical information about the FPU disclosed to them by Brady. Colgate Palmolive Co. Ltd & Another. vs. Mr. Patel & Others., Delhi High Court 2005 PTC (31) 583 This is a case relating to the legal principle of infringement of a trademark. It was decided by a Single Judge Bench of the Delhi High Court comprising of Justice M Mudgal. Colgate Palmolive Co. Limited (hereinafter referred to as the plaintiffs) is a company that has been manufacturing and marketing dental products in India under the well-known trademark 'COLGATE' since 1937. The company undoubtedly is also an international leader in the trade of tooth paste and other dental related products. The plaintiffs registered their trademark in India in the year 1954. Since then they have always marketed their products in red cartons which had the word COLGATE inscribed in white on it. They used a particular font for printing the trademark on the cartons. Further they had even registered their label relating to colors in India in the year 1959. From then on they have been exclusively enjoying the ownership rights over the trademark 'COLGATE' and also the label containing the red and white colors inscribed on it. In the year 2003 the plaintiffs came to know that Mr. Patel and his company(hereinafter referred to as the defendants) were using the plaintiff's COLGATE trade dress in the packaging of their products with relation to the layout and color combination of the cartons. The defendants used the word 'AJANTA' printed in white color in a red background in their cartons. Subsequently the plaintiffs filed a suit before the Delhi High Court seeking a permanent injunction against the defendants, thereby restraining them from using the trade dress that was similar in layout and appearance even though the names printed on the cartons were different. They contended that the defendants had infringed their trademark and copyrights. And further that they were indulging in unfair competition by trying to sell their products using the brand name of trademark COLGATE. On the other hand, the defendants contended that there was nothing distinctive in the color combination of the plaintiff's container and that the plaintiff could not have a trademark in color combination. Further they claimed that the red and white label was common to the toothpaste trade. The Honorable Judge observed that essential feature of the plaintiffs' mark was COLGATE inscribed in white color on a red background and not merely red and white color combination alone. He held that the printing of the word 'AJANTA' on the defendants' cartons in white color on a red background does not give rise to any infringement of the plaintiffs' trade dress. Also affirmed the contention of the defendants that red was a basic color and the red & white color combination is common to the tooth paste trade in the domestic as well as the international market. Hence there cannot be any monopolization of the same by any party. However, he finally held that the defendants were liable for trying to sell their products using the brand name of COLGATE since there was sufficient resemblance between the plaintiffs' and the defendants' product. Further the court ruled that if the defendant alters the packaging there would not arise any question of infringement of the copyright and trademark of the plaintiff. Accordingly the court ordered them to substitute gold for white color in the description of 'AJANTA' in their cartons. Thus, the injunction application was disposed of by the court and the defendants were permitted to market their products provided they made the required alterations in their packaging of the products. Bajaj Auto Limited Vs. TVS Motor Company Limited JT 2009 (12) SC 103 This case involved the controversy regarding the unauthorized application of the patent of the DTSi technology. The case became very vital regarding not only the financial stakes of the parties but also regarding the application of the doctrine of pith and marrow also termed as Doctrine of Equivalents. This case was filed before the Madras High Court in 2007. The plaintiffs (Bajaj Auto Ltd), along with the state of Maharashtra alleged the defendants (T.V.S. Motor Company Ltd.) of infringement of the patents of the plaintiffs, which apprehended the invention of the technology of advanced internal combustion engine. The case engaged the questions of patent infringement by the defendant and the damages for the same. Furthermore, the case threw light upon the argument regarding justification of the risks issued by the defendant of the same case. The plaintiffs sought remedy of permanent injunction for obstructing the defendants from using the technology or invention prescribed in the patents of the plaintiffs; and for obstructing them from marketing, selling offering for sale or exporting 2/3 wheelers (including the proposed 125cc TVS FLAME motorcycle) that consisted of the disputed internal combustion engine or product that infringed the patent. Damages for infringement of the patent were also claimed by the Plaintiffs. The Supreme Court of India by this landmark judgement directed all the courts in India for speedy trial and disposal of intellectual property related cases. In this two-year-old dispute involving two companies, which had been locked in a patent dispute over the use of a twin-spark plug engine technology, the Supreme Court observed that suits relating to the matters of patents, trademarks and copyrights are pending for years and years and litigation is mainly fought between the parties about the temporary injunction. The Supreme Court directed that hearing in the intellectual property matters should proceed on day to day basis and the final judgment should be given normally within four months from the date of the filing of the suit. The Supreme Court further directed to all the courts and tribunals in the country to punctually and faithfully carry out the aforesaid orders.

When it comes to the protection of the ideas of the people, we have laws that protect the ideas of the people, these laws are called intellectual property laws. When it comes to ideas, people may come up with ideas which they value very much. People would want those ideas to be protected from those people who like copying the ideas of other people. When it comes to the selling of the ideas, they would want to sell those ideas to the market by themselves. When it comes to the security of the ideas, the inventors of the ideas would want those ideas to be safe from those people who like copying the ideas of other people. When it comes to the copying of other people's ideas, in the past it was rampant. This led to the implementation of the intellectual property laws. The laws were implemented so that they can protect the original ideas of the people. The trademarks and the copyrights were the main reason to why the intellectual property laws laws were implemented. Very people who had very unique ideas wanted to sell their unique ideas to the public by themselves. When it comes to the security of the ideas, the intellectual property laws protected both the trademarks and the copyrights. The copyrights are the laws that protect the artistic ideas.

All Issues » RW #28 (THEME: Youth in Worship) » One Step at a Time: Youth pastors learn there's no... One Step at a Time: Youth pastors learn there's no instant success Phyllis Ten Elshof The first youth service at Georgetown Christian Reformed Church (CRC), Hudsonville, Michigan, was a raving success. "We put 120 chairs up, and they weren't enough; we needed 140," said Rev. Dan Ackerman, copastor at Georgetown. "We packed the place tight." The youths weren't disappointed by what followed, either; they whistled and cheered for videos by rock bands Petra and White Cross, a drama entitled "Deception about Diane," a dual slide show of the summer youth retreat, and some get-down talk about caring through a weather balloon named Bill. They were so turned on that Ackerman and others couldn't wait to plan the next service. The next one bombed. In its devastating aftermath, youth leaders did what they realized they should have done after the first service: a thorough debriefing. According to Ackerman, they learned some important lessons about youth in worship. "We learned we had to get them involved in it," Ackerman said. "For sixteen years or more these young people have sat next to Mom and Dad and been told to be quiet in church. So now they're not going to automatically jump into a service—no matter what weVe planned for them. We have to invite them to get engaged in it." The second lesson the leaders learned was that the large room where the youths met for the worship service was too big and too brightly lit. Enthusiasm shriveled in the glare. "Teens have a need to be somewhat invisible," Ackerman said. "They're not sure of themselves; they need to feel protected. The room was too bright and overwhelming." New Turf Like other youth leaders in the United States and Canada, those at Georgetown are feeling their way through a kind of "frontier approach" to youth in worship. New books and materials are emerging to help point them in the right direction, but there are few existing programs to serve as working models. As Ackerman says, "No one teaches you how to do this. You have to work it out yourself." Youth workers aren't interested in plugging teens like tokens into worship services designed for their middle-aged parents. On the other hand, they're also not ready to separate young people from the rest of the congregation on a continuing basis to offer them the kind of sight, sound, and spectacle that will turn them on. And adult leaders know it won't work to just provide worship for young people. Rather, they want to offer the kind of loving support that will help teens become pathfinders to their own kind of worship. As Ackerman says, "If we don't help young people and encourage them to express themselves in worship, it won't become theirs; it'll just be something their parents impressed on them." Finding the Way But youths aren't necessarily ready to take the lead in worship design. Call it inexperience; overcommitment to other things like school, sports, relationships, or part-time jobs; disinterest; or just plain fear. But teens aren't ready to make worship happen. As Rev. Karl House, co-pastor of Zion CRC, Oshawa, Ontario, said, "You can't tell teens to plan a worship service. They just won't do it. Or else they'll commit to it, but then it somehow just won't get done. "You have to lead them through it," he said. "This has to be a team effort between youth and adults." Working on that type of team takes a special kind of adult—one who relates well to young people, is willing to flex with them, willing to take risks, willing to spend at least twice as much time getting teens to take the lead as doing the job him- or herself. It takes someone willing to assure young people that God honors a person's best efforts, even if he or she messes up. Sharon Bradimore, player-coach of the high school praise team at Zion, said she is truly amazed at the deep commitment young people have to the Lord and their willingness to show it. At the same time, she realizes how vulnerable teens are and how dependent they are upon the approval of others to do something so bold as to lead worship. "They really need permission from those around them," she said. Young people at Zion are learning how to lead worship by doing it. And because they're taking the lead—within the affirming context of adults who are willing to work alongside of them to help make it happen, and peers who are also groping their way toward a new understanding of worship—they're starting to move out of the back pews of the church and into their own kind of involvement. Not all young people who are learning to take the lead in youth worship are ready to expose those efforts within the formidable context of a full worship service. Fear of adult or peer disapproval hold them back. True, parents and grandparents are generally more accepting of the efforts of "the young people" and are thus willing to stretch the boundaries of traditional worship. Youth directors sometimes depend on that attitude to get their teens in front of the congregation. "We can get by with a lot; people say, 'Oh, it's just the young people,'" said Kel Blom, youth director at Orland Park (IL) CRC. Some youth leaders are even willing to risk offending a few members to help young people—and others in the congregation—grow. For example, Karen Wilke, youth leader at Westend CRC, Edmonton, Alberta, said young people at her church will try drama, mime, liturgical dance, rock music—"whatever we can get away with" in an evening service. Initially she got some negative feedback (some people even walked out of church in protest), but that didn't stop young people from participating. In fact, teens who used to shy away from worship leadership are now eager to give it a try. "Initially it was like pulling teeth to get them in front of church," Wilke said. "Now they're volunteering for it. They come up to me and ask, 'When's the next youth service?'" Other youth leaders are less eager to expose their teens so soon. Ackerman would rather let teens find their own way into worship before bringing what best matches their own experience to the whole church. "We want them to learn to lead and experience worship in a safe context before sharing it with others," he said. So young people at Georgetown currently meet for worship separate from the rest of the congregation about once a month during the evening worship service. Once the young people feel comfortable as leaders in their own service, Ackerman and other leaders plan to introduce the youth worship service to the rest of the congregation. Young people at Zion also practice worship in private as a kind of prelude to presenting it publicly in the church. Sharon Bradimore, their player-coach, says public worship is a by-product of the kind of worship services the teens are developing for themselves on Wednesday nights—not their goal. But it does provide them with the kind of experience they need to take leadership in the church. "I see a change coming in them," Bradimore said. "They're no longer on the outside looking in. They're no longer criticizing what's going on. They're at the front now, doing the best they can." Youth in Worship Young people aren't the future of the church, youth leaders like Stan Drenth are quick to say; they are the church. That's why young people must be challenged to discover the kind of worship that best matches their relationship to God, then contribute that understanding to the church as a whole. Of course, people of all ages, interests, and abilities must be encouraged to participate in worship. Within that spectrum, however, youth, if encouraged, can contribute the gifts of enthusiasm, freshness, joy roller-coaster emotion, vulnerability, willingness to experiment, and budding growth. Their boundless energy and affinity for high decibels sometimes sends someone like Sharon Bradimore home from a youth service with only one goal in mind—a nice quiet chair and a cup of hot tea. Still, when she sees how different praise groups, including her high school team, can energize worship at Zion, she's ready to keep plugging. "What an array of worship styles," she says. "You don't know what to expect. It's so disconcerting you have to ask yourself, 'What is worship?' Then you remind yourself, 'It's all nations, tribes, tongues, and people of all ages praising God in community'. "With that, you just relax and start having a good time." In one sentence: The most important thing about involving youth in worship is that the whole church has to be a community in which the youth are a very important part. ■ A lot of churches are concerned about the loss of their youth. The fact is that a lot of kids will leave home after high school and then it is pretty much up to them whether to go to church. If they come from a church where there is a strong sense of community, they are more likely to seek out a new church when they leave home. They want to be part of something, to belong somewhere again. —Jeff Schra (Colorado Springs, CO) Phyllis Ten Elshof is editor of books and Bibles for Christianity Today International, Carol Stream, Illinois.

Functions are used to perform complex rolls, like exploding die, dice pool, roll & keep and so on. Functions are composed by their name followed by a set of parameters enclosed in parentheses, and each parameter is separated by a comma. A typical example is "rak(1d6,4,3)" and its meaning is as follows: use the function with name rak with three parameters. First parameter is "1d6", second parameter is "4" and third parameter is "3". Each parameter of a function can be any formula, even another function, like "max(rak(1d6,4,3),5+2)" which give the highest value between the result of "rak(1d6,4,3)" and "5+2".

Home > News > Introducing our Region Awards Committee Chair We caught up with Lesley Knighton, to find out about her role as Region Awards Committe Chair. This is what she told us about herself. What does the role of Region Awards Committe Chair involve? The role of Chair of the Region Awards Committee has two major strands to it. Firstly to support the Chair of Awards in each of our 11 counties to promote and raise awareness of Awards available within their area, Regionally and Nationally and to actively seek out suitable nominees. Secondly, I chair the Region Awards Committee which meets regularly to receive nominations for Region and National Awards and to regularly review the criteria for our Region Awards. What do you hope to achieve as part of this role? Midlands Region has a really good record of gaining Girlguiding's Silver Fish, Laurel, and Guiding Star Awards but not all of our counties are represented. Wouldn't it be amazing if each year every county in the Midlands had at least one member receiving a Girlguiding or National Award? I am hoping to support counties in order to achieve this. I would also like to encourage more nominations for our Chief Commissioner's Award. We have amazing leaders in the Midlands, we should be recognising their commitment and achievements and shouting about it! What other roles do you have in guiding? I am President for Lichfield Division and I also look after the leaders in the Division who are undertaking their LQ. I help out locally when needed. I am also a Trainer. What relevant previous experiences have you had which led you to this Region role? I have had the privilege of being County Commissioner for Staffordshire, Midlands Region Chief Commissioner and Chief Commissioner for British Guiding Overseas and was actively involved in putting forward many successful nominations, both in Guiding and Nationally. I am also a Deputy Lieutenant for Staffordshire and in that role I promote National honours and assess local voluntary organisations for the Queen's Award for Voluntary Services. What is your favourite thing you have done, or your greatest achievement, as a member of Girlguiding? This is so difficult because I have enjoyed every minute of almost forty years in Guiding, but being Chief Commissioner of Midlands and a member of the Chief Guide's Team during Girlguiding's Centenary was truly amazing with so many "Mountain Top Moments". What do you enjoy outside guiding? Travel, Trefoil Guild, reading, amd most of all being with my granddaughters, the eldest of whom has just become a Rainbow! What is your favourite biscuit and why? Sadly I like ALL biscuits, but my very favourite one has to be a Bourbon because I like dunking it! What 3 words would you use to describe yourself? Friendly, passionate (about Guiding!), gregarious.

LEX 18 In-Depth Quick links... Top Stories Positively LEX 18 LEX 18 In-Depth Investigative Videos Covering Kentucky Covering the Nation Covering Your World Coronavirus State of the Commonwealth LEX 18 News App Dr. Demetrus Liggins talks new role as Fayette County Public Schools superintendent Dr. Demetrus Liggins experienced his first day of "school" about three weeks before the students in his district will get their first day. By: Michael Berk LEXINGTON, Ky.(LEX 18) — Dr. Demetrus Liggins experienced his first day of "school" about three weeks before the students in his district will get their first day. "I am extremely excited for my first day with the Fayette County Public Schools," the new superintendent told a group of reporters on Monday morning. Hired during the spring to replace the late Emmanuel Caulk, Liggins's day-one schedule was full and it included a session with members of the media, visits with Ignite program summer school students and teachers, and it'll culminate with his first school board meeting Monday night. His talk with reporters was dominated by COVID-19, the Delta Variant, and the potential for a repeat of health safety guidelines in school, including face coverings. "I'm going to meet with the core team tomorrow and make absolutely sure that we listen and ultimately decide what's best for having school," Dr. Liggins said. Liggins, like most educators, is a proponent of in-person instruction, and he's aware of the many disadvantages created by virtual learning during the last school year. His district in Texas, where he previously worked as superintendent, offered in-person and virtual learning for the entire year, never choosing to ditch the in-person part at any point during the year. "It was a struggle as it was for every district in every state," he said of the last school year. "I just want to make sure this year we can put systems into place to make sure students continue to be in person. I think students suffered tremendously last year with their learning," Dr. Liggins added. Liggins didn't put a timetable in place for making a decision on a mask-wearing policy, saying only that the team will make a decision with enough time to allow the district's families to adjust. "My personal beliefs aside, I have to listen to the health professionals," he said. Dr. Liggins said he doesn't envision a vaccine mandate being put in place by the district, at least not when they are still in the emergency-use-authorization phase. Beyond that, he referenced the many vaccine mandates that are in place to combat contagious diseases such as, measles and varicella (chickenpox). But a vaccine mandate for COVID-19 is a conversation for another time. After all, today was just his first day and already he's got some major decisions looming, specifically regarding health protocols for the coming school year. "Once all of the brains are at the table I want to get (the decisions) out as soon as possible. As soon as we have enough solid information to make a decision that makes sense, and that is going to support in-person instruction," he said.

LAUDERDALE COUNTY, Ala. - Authorities in Rogersville call it one of the most violent crimes they have ever seen in the small town, and they are still seeking justice. On October 23rd of 2015, 58-year-old Connie Ridgeway was found stabbed to death inside her residence at Meadowlands Apartments. Neighbors and community members have left memorials on the door-step of apartment four. Ridgeway was known for caring attitude and always helping neighbors, which has made this case so difficult for investigators. How could someone so loved by the community, fall victim to such a gruesome crime. "It might be the case that the person who killed Connie is watching right now. I want them to understand that we're standing against you. We're going to do what we can to find you. And I would like for you to turn yourself in and do the right thing," stated family friend Mark White, shortly after the murder occurred. The State Bureau of Investigation and Lauderdale County Sheriff's Office is continuing to actively work the case. They say they are waiting on some key pieces of evidence to return for analysis from state forensics. If anyone has information which could help lead investigators to an arrest in the Connie Ridgeway murder case, contact the Shoals Area Crime Stoppers tip line. Operators for the tip line can be reached at (256)386-8685, or text your tip to 274637 (CRIMES), in the message type "tip1293" and your information. Your identity is protected, and worth a cash reward of up to $1,000. A memorial for Connie Ridgeway is planned for this Saturday at Rogersville's Heritage Park from 2 until 4pm. The community is encouraged to attend.

We've received this image of an advance copy of the upcoming Road & Track issue, and guess what? It has an even better view of the 2014 Corvette's nefarious smile. Now we have interior and profile shots to boot. And it has a new name. Meet the Stingray. Earlier today we brought you the cover of Automobile that has a grainy view of the car from the back, but this is undoubtedly the best shot yet of the front of America's next great sportscar. Obviously, our friends at Automobile or Road & Track don't want us to run these photos, but they're restricted by embargoes and the realities of printed media in a way we are not. Because magazines exist in a different universe, this is like the December 2016 issue, so what harm could there be in putting the as-of-yet-unseen image on the cover? We've gone out of or way not to play the embargo game for this year's Detroit Auto Show because A: things like this happen and B: we don't like the idea of keeping what we know from our readers just to please some product planner's timeline. We work for you, not the automakers. You can see the full thing right here, Sunday night, complete with all the details you can handle. Speaking of details, read more about the technical bits of the new Corvette here and tell us what you think below. UPDATE: More photos from Road & Track's next issue have leaked out to those crazy kooks in the Netherlands. Here's the interior and a profile shot. And if you look closely, there is definitely a Stingray on the side of the car.

El tono es un género musical propio del siglo XVII español, en especial del barroco. Se distinguían dos tipos: el tono humano (esto es, profano, de temática casi siempre amorosa) y el tono divino (de temática sacra, muchas veces interpretado en las misas). Más adelante en el tiempo se fue denominando tonada o tonadilla. El tono humano solía cantar un amor generalmente no correspondido con aires populares. Grandes poetas del barroco, como Lope de Vega, compusieron este tipo de tonos. En la primera mitad del siglo XVII eran de dos, tres o cuatro voces y bajo continuo, y se denominaba romance o novena, y si era bailable folía o seguidilla; al pasar el medio siglo se va convirtiendo en monódico y ya se les llama tono humano. La métrica de la letra es variada, pero siempre en verso de arte menor: endechas, letrillas, romances con o sin estribillo. Lo más usado era una canción estrófica que alterna el estribillo con una serie de coplas. Los que se han conservado figuran en Cancioneros recopilatorios como los de Turín, Olot, Lisboa, Coímbra, Onteniente etc. Era frecuente incluir tonos en los espectáculos teatrales de entonces (comedias, mascaradas, dramas mitológicos de Pedro Calderón de la Barca, zarzuelas y óperas). Compusieron tonos celebrados Juan Hidalgo, José Marín, Cristóbal Galán, Juan Romeo, Juan Serqueira de Lima, Carlos de Borja, Sebastián Durón y otros. Cancioneros que incluyen colecciones de tonos Cancionero de Turín Cancionero de Olot Cancionero de la Casanatense Cancionero de Lisboa Cancionero de la Sablonara Cancionero de Coimbra Cancionero de Onteniente Romances y letras a tres voces Tonos Castellanos Libro de Tonos Humanos Libro segundo de tonos y villancicos.

Figure 3. Cohesive sheets of large pleomorphic cells displaying vesicular nuclei with peripheral condensation of chromatin are seen in the dermis. Some have prominent irregular nucleoli and amphophilic or vacuolated abundant cytoplasm. Several mitotic figures are also noted (hematoxylin-eosin, original magnification ×400). Figure 4. Lymphoma cells display strong staining of cell membranes for Ki-1 antigen CD30 (Bcr-H2 monoclonal antibody, peroxidase-antiperoxidase, original magnification ×400). The CT scan of the thigh showed a tumor arising from the left rectus femoris muscle. Examination of the bone marrow and cerebrospinal fluid did not show any metastases. The lymphoma was classified as stage 3 (Murphy classification), and the child was treated with chemotherapy using the French LMB-89 protocol. She has completed therapy and is currently healthy with resolution of all the swellings. In children with advanced-stage ALCL, CD30 positivity is associated with a better survival than CD30 negativity.7 Overall survival rates for children with Ki-1+ ALCL treated with chemotherapy are approximately 70% to 80%, regardless of whether a B-cell or T-cell protocol is used.8 Our patient responded well to a protocol for B-cell lymphomas.

Work started on the current Tilbury Fort in 1670, but there had been previous fortifications on the site since the time of Henry VIII. The fort is located in a strategic point on the North side of the Thames opposite Gravesend. The shape of the current fort, with its angular bastions and moat, is typical of the French forts designed by Vauban. The original powder magazines and some of the barracks still exist, but there have been many later alterations to the fort. A series of underground 19th Century magazines have been built and a WW2 gun battery constucted at the rear of the fort. There are also a number of guns in situ at various points around the fort.

Most of the riverfront large blocks have been developed into high rise buildings, and even those are chalking up significant sales prices." Of the 126 $1m plus riverfront properties which have sold since January, 76 of the sales were units including a new development at Byron Street, Bulimba which had 11 settled sales between $1.45m and $2.365m.

I am particularly having trouble with the loop. Here is my code. import java.util.Scanner; public class TempConverter { public static void main(String[] args) { Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in); double temp; do { System.out.print("Please enter temperature in Fahrenheit: "); while(!in.hasNextDouble()) { System.out.println("ERROR. Please enter a valid temperature: "); in.nextDouble(); } temp = in.nextDouble(); } double finalTemp = ((temp - 32)*5)/9; System.out.print("Celsius value of Fahrenheit value " + temp + " is " + finalTemp + "."); } } A: The while must come after. It will keep iterating until the condition in the while has been met. do { System.out.print("Please enter temperature in Fahrenheit: "); System.out.println("ERROR. Please enter a valid temperature: "); in.nextDouble(); temp = in.nextDouble(); } while(!in.hasNextDouble())

Linux Version 3.7 Released by Paul Lilly — Tuesday, December 11, 2012, 11:20 AM EDT It took a little longer than Linus Torvalds would have liked, but after a last minute delay and an extra Release Candidate (RC) release, Linux 3.7 is all polished up and out in final form. Torvalds initially hoped to roll out Linux 3.7 last week, but said he was "uncomfortable" with the release candidate due to some last-minute issues, most notably the resurrection of a kswapd issue. That prompted him to build an eighth RC. "Whee. After an extra RC release, 3.7 is now out. After a few more trials at fixing things, in the end we ended up reverting the kswapd changes that caused problems. And with the extra RC, I had decided to risk doing the buffer.c cleanups that would otherwise have just been marked for stable during the next merge window, and had enough time to fix a few problems that people found there too," Torvalds posted on a message board. One of the last-minute issues Torvalds cleaned up was a SCSI driver bug. Other than that, he says he stomped out a few networking bugs and fixed some trivial networking issues for SPARC and MIPS. Anyway, it's been a somewhat drawn out release despite the 3.7 merge window having otherwise appeared pretty straightforward, and none of the RCs were all that big either," Torvalds added. "But we're done, and this means that the merge window will close on Christmas eve. Or rather, I'll probably close it a couple of days early." Some of the things Linux 3.7 bring to the table are NVIDIA graphics drivers, support for 64-bit ARM instructions, the ability for Ext4 to resize volumes of more than 16TB, SMAP (supervisor mode access prevention) support, the ability to sign kernel modules and verify those signature, and more.

Tag Archives: BMX Posted on May 17, 2012 by EPR Retail News Halfords Summer Brand Campaign 'The best trips last a lifetime' This week sees the launch of the new Halfords summer campaign by DLKW Lowe. The campaign centres around a 60" TVC execution, written by DLKW Lowe's Executive Creative Directors Richard Denney and David Henderson and directed by Academy's Frederic Planchon. The story follows 4 children on a summer family trip. A boy and girl from the 1970s playing alongside a present day brother and sister. Set to the 70s anthem 'Into the Valley' by The Skids, the ad brings to life nostalgic moments from trips and holidays that people look back on with fond memories. Summed up in the endline ' The best trips last a lifetime', the ad reminds parents that Halfords is the launch pad to family adventures this summer. Bikes, tents, roof boxes and cycle carriers are at the heart of Halfords' business and heritage, and have been used by families going away on trips for years. With the current economic backdrop, a trend for family 'staycations' this summer, and a desire to go 'back to basics' with simple pleasures of earlier decades, Halfords want to evoke memories of trips parents made when they were kids back in the 70s, when life was free, easy and fun. The ad shows how easy it is to recreate the same memories for their own children, instead of spending most of their childhoods indoors on computers and video games. The 60" spot is supported by two 30" TVCs, one focussing on cycling and the other on camping. A longer 80" version of the film will also run online on Halfords Youtube channel, Facebook and VOD spots. The campaign will also be supported by retail TV and press. David Wild, Chief Executive for Halfords commented 'The ad is designed to evoke our customers happiest childhood memories and portray Halfords as the gateway to enjoying the great outdoors with their family and friends. Our products and services are designed to ensure our customers have everything they need for their great getaways. So we want to remind people of the part Halfords has played in their holidays and how we can help again this summer." The TV commercial launches on Wednesday 16th May 2012 For more information please contact Ian Barlow (New Business Director on 020 7584 5033). Posted in Consumer Goods, Electronics, Equipment, Online Retailers, Retail | Tagged BMX, Halfords, roof boxes, Tents | Leave a comment | Posted on July 14, 2011 by EPR Retail News Halfords Figures Reveal The True Cost Of Bike Theft In The UK Bike thefts could be costing British cyclists more than £80 million a year, new figures from Halfords reveal.* According to police crime statistics, a total of 115,147 bikes were reported stolen in the UK last year. But the actual figure is much higher, according to the British Crime Survey, due to a high proportion of thefts that are unreported. It estimates the true number is nearer 533,000, the equivalent of a bike going missing every minute, and means almost 80% of owners are failing to report thefts. National figures** show reported bike crime is up 4% and unreported up 12%. The full extent of the problem has been revealed by cycle and leisure retailer Halfords, who obtained the latest theft figures from each UK police force and collated them to reveal a disturbing nationwide picture. The growth in bike thefts has come as the country experiences a resurgence in bicycle use, with 12% of adults regular cycle users and bike sales exceeding £2.1 billion last year. Six per cent of bikes purchased are worth over £1000. In terms of regional variations, not surprisingly the problem of stolen bikes is worst in London with 21,315 instances reported to the Met in 2010 with Westminster having the highest rate of theft (1,898). Thames Valley had the second highest rate with 6,060 instances reported in 2010. This was followed by Greater Manchester (5,185) and Cambridgeshire (4,477). Thames Valley and Cambridgeshire contain university cities of Oxford and Cambridge which account for much of the crime in those areas. Fife has the best record for bike theft, the east coast area in Scotland only reporting 78 thefts in the past year, despite it including the student town of St Andrews where there is high bike ownership. There were 24 times more thefts in Westminster than in the whole of Fife. The worst area in Scotland was Strathclyde, which includes Glasgow. It recorded 2081 thefts, followed closely by Lothian and Border with 2026. Over two thirds of bike theft occurs in or around a victim's home and research shows that while most cyclists lock their bikes when leaving them on the street, they are often unlocked when stored at a residence.*** The high number of unreported theft is put down to the belief that police will not catch the offender and that many bikes on the road are second hand. Halfords cycling expert Paul Tomlinson said: "The scale of the bike theft is quite staggering and it can be devastating when you have bought your dream bike only to have it stolen. "It demonstrates the need for cyclists to take precautions. We recommend bolt-cutter proof locks, because heavy-duty locks are a much better deterrent, and bike marking for all cycles. "All Halfords locks are independently tested and rated Bronze, Silver or Gold depending on the length of time it would take a thief to break the lock and what level of equipment they would need. "Our in-store experts are on hand to advise you on the best way to keep your cycle safe, such as purchasing the most appropriate heavy duty lock for your bike and investing in a bike tagging kit, so that it can be identified if it is ever stolen and recovered by police." After revealing the price of cycle theft, Halfords is calling for a unified approach to tackling the crime. Paul Tomlinson added: "It is clear that this is a nationwide problem and many initiatives are left to local forces. We urge customers to keep their bikes secure but we would like to see more co-ordination in tackling thefts once they have occurred." The Police say one of the biggest problems is not recovering bikes, but finding out who owns them and they urge cyclists to take three simple steps to help reduce crime. 1) Record the details of the bike by getting it marked. 2) Register on one of the number of websites where details can be left3) Report if your bike is stolen.

Data shows sales of BMX have grown more than any other cycling category this year. BMX now accounts for 16% of the total cycle market and looks set to overhaul traditional City bikes, currently 17%. Retailer Halfords said demand is being driven by freewheeling youngsters looking for cycles with more edgy designs and better styling, from X-Rated to Apollo to the top-end, cool looking, US designed VooDoo range. Widely available YouTube videos showing amazing bike tricks and the spread of a BMXers language through social networks has helped to drive the revival in BMX. They are becoming a fashion and lifestyle choice of cycles for both boys and girls alike. The BMX almost disappeared during the 1990s but now analysts GFK say figures show that one in five bike sales are BMX and 94% of BMX's sold in Great Britain are purchased by 6-15 year olds. There's also a trend to customise BMX bikes. Halfords says the sales of accessories like skull and dice decorated valve caps and special stunt pegs have risen, along with skater helmets and fingerless mitts. The growing popularity of BMX has developed against a backdrop of the rise of the 'Mamils', who have been at the forefront of the popularity of cycling in recent years and have driven the ownership of cycles in the UK to top over 4 million. Now Dads in their thirties who remember the fun they had on BMX bikes are encouraging the revival, according to analysts Allegra Strategies in its Project Velo report on the cycle industry. Halfords BMX expert Peter Hunt said: "BMX is becoming mainstream once again. It was always there with the cult pros but has filtered down to a new generation. GFK reported 1 in 5 kids are choosing fashion over form, with a BMX and our sales trends support this. BMX is already well established with boys, but we are now noticing a marked increase from girls too. "We stock an extensive range of models to ensure our customers can find their perfect bike. Our VooDoo range is particularly exciting, offering cutting edge premium bikes at great prices. Industry Cycling magazine BikeBiz said the popularity of BMX products were now exceeding peaks seen in the 1980s when speciality bikes became all the rage among youngsters. Success of UK riders such as BMX World Champion woman rider Shanaze Reade has done much to boost the sport's popularity and new facilities for BMX riders are emerging all the time to cope with renewed demand for specialist facilities. Stephen Rooke, Director of Redditch Skatepark and BMX Track, the largest outdoor supervised charity skatepark in the UK, said: We are seeing whole families taking part in racing and involved in the club. BMX has grown to become the dominant discipline at our venue. "BMX riding is a way of life to many young people, where they gain amazing riding skills and develop a high level of fitness, agility and strength by doing something they enjoy. It is a great way to tackle youth boredom that has been linked to antisocial behaviour." Construction is shortly to begin on a 43-hectare 'Cyclopark' facility in Kent, where world-class facilities will include a 340 metre dedicated BMX circuit. The Olympics and construction of London's new cycling Velodrome and BMX track will further drive the popularity of the BMX, with 2012 Olympic cycling events including a BMX discipline after it was Introduced in Beijing 2008. The Group is the UK's leading retailer of automotive, leisure and cycling products and through Nationwide Autocentres is also the UK's leading independent car servicing and repair operator.

If you are looking for a relaxing screensaver or video for your TV and computer screens; this is a great choice. The setting is a simple English stream. The camera is focused in on the mini waterfall and the grass at the edges is allowed to go out of focus. This creates a simple but effective background video which has an artistic effect because we used our aperture setting to alter the depth of field view. The sound is simply the water trickling down the rocks and along the stream. Sometimes the best things in life are the most simple ones. This download is a great way to de-stress. The 20 minute MP4 video can be set to loop on media players or SMART TVs, and the self looping screensaver comes in both Windows and Mac versions. The footage is full HD so the video can be played on even a large HDTV or SMART TV. The Lake District in England is one of the most beautiful places in the country and a must see if you ever visit. I have been lucky enough to take a few trips there in my life and this time I was there on a day trip with some friends. I brought my camera with me on a lovely walk and had the opportunity to take a couple of videos of some quaint little streams running through the hills. We started out at a lovely little pub called The Pheasant in Bassenthwaite Lake, Cockermouth. After a good hearty meal we decided to take a walk through the hills and came across a great little spot leading down to the lake. My friends went ahead whilst I stayed behind to film a little brook that we passed along the way. I really loved this spot as I knew I would not be disturbed thanks to the remote and quiet location. It was a warm summers day with a touch of scattered cloud and all the insects were buzzing around the water, a perfect place for a relaxing screensaver. It felt completely idyllic and I settled down along the lush grassy banks with my Canon 5D Mark III. I really wanted to do something different with this video and spotted a few small falls where the water was tricking over the rocks. A small aperture seemed wrong for this setting as the focus was most certainly these lovely little water falls on the stream. I knew I really wanted to open up the iris so I pulled out my 100mm macro, a perfect lens for sharp detail and a shallow depth of field. I wanted the grass to feel dreamy whilst at the same time capture the crisp clarity in the water and rocks. I lay down perching the camera within the grass and pulled focus onto my perfect spot. It looked just like I imagined, perhaps even better and the sound of the water was Zen like. I honed in my settings and began to film. As I lay there in the sun in this blissful setting, the light faded in and out as the clouds passed over. I almost fell asleep I was so relaxed and as I packed up my things and walked briskly down the stream, I felt at one and in harmony with nature.

Traumatized veteran's spouse debates her future in DeVita play MADISON - Learning that her husband has survived a roadside bombing in Iraq with apparently minimal, shrapnel-induced damage, stateside wife Elise Sabato can be forgiven for counting her chickens before they've hatched. "I find myself watching random homecoming videos on YouTube," Elise tells us in "Learning to Stay," a world premiere from Forward Theater that opened over the weekend under Jennifer Uphoff Gray's direction. Adapted by James DeVita from the novel by Madison-based writer Erin Celello, "Learning to Stay" is set in 2010 Madison. It chronicles what happens after the celebratory homecoming video ends and real life begins again. In the case of Elise (Kat Wodtke) and Brad (Jeb Burris), real life doesn't mean the old life, back when Elise saw Brad as "the kindest, smartest man I've ever met, equal parts patient and handsome" as well as a surefire winner as a future Dad. That description comes from the novel. Although DeVita follows Celello's lead, giving us a memory play told from Elise's point of view, his adaptation doesn't convey much sense of the Brad who was. That makes it harder to grasp why Elise might stay with the Brad who is: a "ghost" wounded in body and mind who drinks too much and is prone to frightening violence. Burris accurately channels the rage consuming the new Brad; late in the play, he'll provide us with back story of an all-too familiar sort, confirming anew that war is indeed hell. But this isn't really his story. "Learning to Stay" belongs instead to Elise, with Wodtke toggling between narration of the scenes she describes and reliving them in real time. Those narrative passages are insufficiently dramatized, in the script or on stage; ditto many moments belonging to a four-person chorus, playing multiple, singly dimensioned characters and saddled with too many earnest and sometimes chalky expository passages. There's also an unfortunate subplot involving the law firm where Elise works; its stereotyped characters and environment don't track the way people behave in an actual law firm, particularly in a city like Madison. More important, that subplot pulls focus from the story that counts, here: Whether Elise should stick it out with Brad or start over. Watching Wodtke actually interact with Burris plays to Wodtke's strength as an actor: an ability to capture the tension between ostensible calm and underlying despair that's all the better and more poignant because it's not overplayed. Dramatizing that story, amplified by further attention to the stories of two other women – one who lost her husband in Iraq (Malkia Stampley) and another leaving the damaged man who returned (Karen Moeller) – would give DeVita's script more focus. In its current iteration, its commendable attention to the details of Celello's novel is stifling its emergence as a play. "Learning to Stay" continues through April 9 at the Overture Center, 201 State St., Madison. For tickets, visit forwardtheater.com/. To read more about this production, go to TapMilwaukee.com. Filed Away and Forgotten: The huge towers of upstage filing cabinets in Mike Lawler's scenic design conjure many images. The law firm where Elise works. The perimeter of an embattled Iraqi safe zone. The nightmarish bureaucracy couples like Elise and Brad must navigate in seeking medical help. The "cabinet full" of medications that Brad must now take. The way we reductively pigeonhole veterans and categorize the mentally ill. And the way soldiers like Brad are trapped within their minds, reliving experiences they don't know how to share. A Foundation Made of Sand: Lawler has rimmed Forward's thrust stage with sand. That suggests Iraq, always surrounding and lying beneath the seemingly stable American world to which Brad returns. Those desert sands also suggest the shifting and unreliable foundation on which Elise and Brad must now try to build a new life. A Greek Chorus: When they're not each busy playing multiple characters, the four ensemble members surrounding this play's central couple serve as a Greek chorus, particularly effective in moments in which they underscore and further dramatize Elise's ruminations – as they do, for example, immediately after Elise's opening monologue. They also often remain onstage between scenes in which they're appearing as characters; as Uphoff Gray pointed out in a talkback following Sunday afternoon's performance, doing so allows them to bear witness to a story that affects all of us. As Uphoff Gray additionally noted, keeping the ensemble onstage also facilitates transitions, in a script with many – too many – truncated scenes. In addition to Moeller and Stampley, this production's ensemble members are Di'Monte Henning and Michael Herold. An Iliad: DeVita's play follows his unforgettable performances in two productions of "An Iliad," in which he plays the Poet, struggling to make sense of war while cataloging what it's done to who we are and the world in which we live. Interviewing him before the first of those productions at the Milwaukee Repertory Theater in 2014, it was clear that this reliably thoughtful artist had already given considerable attention to the phenomenon of war and its tremendous collateral damage. He and Uphoff Gray deserve kudos for deciding three years ago to write and stage a play like this one; they did so long before the "theater of war" became a hot-button topic in the theater world (it's featured on the cover and in several articles in the current issue of American Theatre, which has profiled DeVita's play). A Performance for Veterans: Consistent with the commitment that gave birth to this play, Forward has scheduled a private performance of "Learning to Stay" that's intended exclusively for veterans, their families and service providers.

Revere High School 30th Reunion, Class of 1985, 2015 group photo. I'm the one top back left with his arm extended! However, over the years, I seemed to only focus on the former, and had all but forgotten the latter. It probably had to do with a less than pleasant personal life. My parents were split up, my family struggled to make ends meet, my social life was all over the place, my young romantic life was non-existent (not for lack of trying though), and I had no idea who and what I was or to become. In fact, as it turns out, I had many, many friends in high school who reminded me of just how much they liked me, and still liked me 30 years later. Quite a long time to lose touch with so many good people. I basically avoided all the reunions until the last one like they were the plague. That couldn't have been further from the truth. Believe it or not Facebook did. Say what you will about this social media network being a huge waste of time and a banal wasteland of inane babble, Facebook allowed me to reconnect with my old classmates reminding me of just how great they really were. This is (from left to right) me, Christine Ruberto Berentsen, Joe Livolsi, and Tom Harty catching up at the RHS 30th Reunion. A few people in particular, like Christine Ruberto (Berensten, her married name), really got me off my duff to come back to the fold and see everyone once again. And I'm sure glad she did! It was held at the Kowloon Restaurant in Saugus Mass. on Sunday October 4, 2015. Though the weather outside was rainy, the atmosphere inside was sunny and bright! I took my wife, Sue, with me to this event because she is one of the best parts of my adult life and I wanted my old friends to meet her. Not only did I have a great time seeing everyone, who also were having a great time as well; my wife too had a lot of fun meeting the very same people who were a part of my formative years. One of these people, Charlene Lombardi (now Charlene Turgeon), was one of my best friends in high school. She and I had a tumultuous relationship, i.e. we were always fighting about something! Charlene (Lombardi) Turgeon (lower left) and me (lower right) in all our 1980s glory! The interesting thing is, that over the years, I seemed to have forgotten all about the fights and only remember the good times we had as close friends. However, in true Charlene fashion, she reminded me of the fights—from a looking back upon them fondly perspective! Hahaha! If you look closely at the inscription I wrote in Charlene's yearbook (in the picture here that she sent me), it's true: we did fight a lot by my own admission back in 1985. Hahaha! But we really cared deeply for each other as friends, and spent a lot of time looking out for each other—like brother and sister. Charlene was there for me when I needed a friend who really understood some of the things that I was going through at the time—and she did. She helped me through some serious stuff in my teenage life, and helped me find the strength to mature and let go of childish fears, for which I will always be grateful to her. Seeing her again was like seeing a long-lost sister after 30 years! It was so great to pick up where we left off and get totally caught up. Both Charlene and Sue got along really well. In fact, my wife thought it was hilarious and charming when Charlene said to her, "So you're the woman who married the trouble-maker." Hahaha! Anyway, it was great to see her again, and now not only are we reconnected through Facebook but also are Fitbit friends pushing each other to stay fit. That's the positive power of social media! Charlene and I today—back at it! Just like old times! Hahaha! The event only lasted a scant 4 hours, but long after my classmates and I kept the reunion going on Facebook for weeks to come: posting pictures, videos, many thanks to the reunion organizing committee, musings about the evening of all kinds, and this poem below that I wrote called, The Winds of Time. Read on and you will get a sense of what the evening was like for us all. And to my fellow RHS Class of 1985 classmates, I will see all of you at the 35th reunion in 2020! No one notices until many years does pass. But comes the time to reunite the class. Tears and cheers allay all fears in our hearts. "Who was where and when," the old stories start. And for one sweet moment: we went back. Missed paths, lives on a different track. Old dear friends with families and such. That the winds of time passed all too much. The days of our youth and immortality. The parties, the loves lost, the lives so free. Never to grow up…and yet we did. With grace and wisdom no longer a kid. Shared images of our little ones and more. All that time apart we warmly restored! We vow that this is not the end. That we 'will' see each other again. No one wants to go when the bell does chime. As we all float upon…the winds of time. This entry was posted on Wednesday, April 20th, 2016 at 5:10 pm and is filed under Friends, High School, Memories, Poems.

Cletus Seldin pummels Zab Judah, scores eleventh round TKO win For eleven rounds it looked like Zab Judah was waiting for the perfect punch, but it just never came. And as Judah looked for his shot, Cletus Seldin never stopped throwing. It was Seldin's strength and youth that won out over the experience of Judah as Seldin pummeled Judah to an eleventh round technical knockout win Friday night at Turning Stone Resort & Casino in Verona, N.Y. The end came at the 1:40 mark after Seldin wobbled Judah along the ropes with right hands and fired away until referee Charlie Fitch waived off the bout. Judah was stunned but was able to leave the ring on his own power, bolting to the dressing room as Seldin celebrated. It was the first fight in 17 months for Judah, now 41, who was swamped in activity by Seldin, 32. When Judah (44-10, 30 knockouts) of Brooklyn, N.Y. did let his hands go, the punches lacked the accuracy that one would expect against a face-first brawler like Seldin (24-1, 19 KOs) of Long Island. Seldin came out like a bull, working the body with both hands and being physical on the inside, using his head to keep Judah in position. The first significant moment of the fight came near the end of the third when an overhand right wobbled Judah momentarily. The punch seemed to awaken Judah, at least for a moment, as he came out in round four looking to land his famous left uppercut, but even when he did Seldin pushed forward and worked the body. As the rounds progressed, Judah leaned more on his right hook – never his best punch in his prime – while Seldin switched stances in close to find new angles from which to land against Judah. The body work began to slow Judah's footwork, the one asset that didn't seem to age, and made him an easier target against the ropes for Seldin. The win is the biggest yet for Seldin, who wins his third straight since a unanimous points loss to Yves Ulysse Jr. in 2017. For Judah, a former three-time junior welterweight titleholder and undisputed welterweight champion, the loss likely spells the end of a career that began in 1996. In the co-featured bout, James McGirt Jr. and David Papot settled for a split-decision draw in a twelve-round middleweight fight. One judge had it wide for Papot at 117-111, while another had it 115-113 for McGirt and the third scored the fight 114-114 even. McGirt (27-3-2, 14 KOs), whose father James "Buddy" McGirt will be inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame just down the road in Canastota on Sunday, got the better of the action when they were at distance with his longer right jab, while the Frenchman Paper (22-0-1, 3 KOs) did his best work pressing forward. After a slow start, the fight heated up in the ninth and tenth rounds as both stood toe-to-toe and traded southpaw power punches. The fight was the first for McGirt in over a year while the Saint-Nazaire, France native Papot was fighting for the first time in the United States. McGirt wasn't the only son of a Hall of Famer in action. Robert Duran Jr (3-0, 2 KOs) won a split decision over Jonathan Pierre (3-1, 0 KOs) in a four-round welterweight fight. The scores were 39-37 on two cards for the son of "Manos de Piedras" while the third was 39-37 for Pierre. The show was promoted by Joe DeGuardia's Star Boxing and was streamed live on an internet pay-per-view.

Budapest Forum questions efficiency of international human rights frameworks news | Published on 27 Nov 2018 27 Nov 2018 11th Budapest Human Rights Forum highlights global religious persecution Sharp increase in violations of religious freedom worldwide BUDAPEST (27 November 2018) – From 27 to 28 November, the 11th Budapest Human Rights Forum is taking place in the Hungarian capital. Recognizing the 70th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the event focuses on current human rights violations across the globe. The two-day conference is dedicating one of its three panel discussions to the protection of religious minorities and freedom of religion. Amongst the speakers are Fernand de Varennes, UN Special Rapporteur for Minority Issues, Tristan Azbej, Hungarian Secretary of State for the Aid of Persecuted Christians, and Paul Coleman, Executive Director of ADF International. "No-one should be persecuted because of their faith. Beginning with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the international community has woven freedom of religion into the fabric of international law and freedom of religion is now recognized almost universally. At the same time, we see the persecution of religious minorities on the rise across the globe. The recent treatment of Asia Bibi serves as a telling example, though there are sadly countless others," said Paul Coleman, who will address the current state of religious freedom across the globe at the Forum. Religious freedom in particular need of protection The conference highlights some of the attacks on religious freedom worldwide and calls for greater action by the international community. The Forum will address issues such as the role of education in the protection and promotion of human rights, increasing the efficiency of the UN Human Rights Council, and the protection of religious minorities. "As we move forward in protecting the rights of religious minorities, we must recognize that unjust laws preventing the free exercise of religion, must be repealed or modified. Those countries most dedicated to being beacons for religious freedom must lead the way," said Coleman. ADF International is commemorating the 70th anniversary of the Universal Declaration with the I'm Human, Right? campaign and The Geneva Statement. Supported by tens of thousands of signatures the campaign urges the international community to uphold the fundamental right to life, family, and religious freedom, as recognized by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

2. NYCUDL Coach/Staff/Board Holiday Party - December 11th. RSVP Now! Thank you for another historical season of debate in New York City. Please join us to celebrate this Holiday Season at our office on Tuesday, December 11th from 6pm-8:30pm. All staff, board members and coaches are welcome!! It is a Pot Luck so make sure you bring a dish or drinks! And please RSVP because we will be ordering many other goodies and drinks! 3. MS Public Forum Coach Survey!! Double Flighting versus Double Debating! A couple coaches asked about Double Flighting versus Double Debating. And this was a topic at the last middle school coaches meeting. As you know our MS Public Forum Tournaments are pretty much at capacity - increasing number of students and limited number of rooms. So we do what the national debating circuit does called "Double Flighting" - two debates or "Flight A and Flight B" back to back in the same room with the same judge. This does extend the tournament schedule. But also (a) accommodates more debaters; (b) reduces strain on judge recruitment of schools (1/2 the judges needed since they judge two debates back to back in the same round); (c) learning - rather than two debates simultaneously, and debaters speaking over each other, 1 debate at a time.; (d) listening - all teams should go to the round and listen to each other. THE OTHER OPTION IS "DOUBLE DEBATING" - two debates simultaneously in the SAME classroom with different judges. The primary benefit here is speed of schedule. Two debates at once in the same classroom will speed along the schedule and leave early. This would require (a) more judges so is not for schools who have problems recruiting judges; (b) debaters would be talking over each other especially in smaller classrooms. Which is why the national, state, and local scene usually prefers double flighting to double debating. But if primary consideration is speed of schedule, then Double Debating has been used at some tournaments as well. And feel free to message erik@debate.nycas well with any other comments. Click here! for Poll! For middle school events, we offer four divisions for public forum debate (Beginners, Novice, Intermediate, Advanced), two divisions for parliamentary debate (Beginners, Advanced) and one division for Congressional/City Council Debate. Beginners is meant for debaters from schools debating for the first time, in the process of building or rebuilding debate programs, or schools facing some other exceptional circumstance. Longtime UDL members with stable programs, schools with experienced coaches and schools with debaters with middle school debate experience are not eligible for Beginners. All teams registered in Beginners are automatically placed on a waiting list, pending approval by the Executive Director. This is for students in their first year of debate. A team should only be registered in the beginners/novice division if all members of the team are first-year debaters. If a team competes in both novice and open/advanced or intermediate divisions in a single season, they can choose which division they want to compete in during the City and State Championship Tournament. Any debater or team can choose to compete in the open/advanced division. Four or more tournaments counts as a year of experience. Students with 1-2 years of middle school UDL debate experience should register for the intermediate division. Four or more tournaments counts as a year of experience. Students with two or more years of middle school UDL debate experience should register for the open division. Four or more tournaments counts as a year of experience. General Reminders!

Local Treks: Hiking Missouri and More: The 100 Missouri Miles Challenge. Think You Can Do It? The 100 Missouri Miles Challenge. Think You Can Do It? There is a lot to be proud of here in Missouri, and our State Parks and the miles and miles of well maintained hiking trails they offer are just one of the many, many cool things that many Missourians (including myself) may take for granted from time to time. Well, we may let our appreciation of the Missouri trail system slip from time to time, but American Trails (a national, non-profit organization that works on behalf of our country's hiking, biking, and riding trails) named little ol' MO the distinction of "Best Trails State" for 2013-14 and our Missouri State Parks had a HUGE impact in Missouri receiving that distinction as they accounted for nearly 1,000 miles of Missouri's trails! Now, be sure to keep in mind that the the Missouri Department of Conservation also oversees approximately 600 miles of trails and Federal Agencies (such as the National Park Service, US Fish and Wildlife, and US Forest Service) account for 700 miles of trails, so I'm certainly not calling them slouches as all. Well, all this hub-bub about the quality of Missouri Trails set into motion a challenge from our Governor, Jay Nixon, to get Missourians off the couch and onto one of our awesome state trails in 2013. The gauntlet was tossed as he asked for residents to take in countless lungfuls of fresh air, some of the most spectacular scenery in the state, and memories that will reside with them for a lifetime as they logged 100 miles on Missouri's trails. The response was enormous and we racked up over 1.1 MILLION Missouri miles in 2013. The Governor is hopeful that we will beat that amount this year as the challenge was once again put forth on March 20th. So if you plan to hike, run, walk, paddle, bike, hop, skip, jump, roll or plan any other form of locomotion on Missouri's trails why don't you join the challenge today? Just hop over to 100missourimiles.com today and sign up. There is still plenty of time for you to put in your own #100MoMiles!

"Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution" (II Tim. 3:12). Paul clearly declared that all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution. It didn't even say that you have accomplished living godly. All it really says that you desire to live godly. Also, it declares that all that have that heart's desire to live godly will not be exempt from persecution, but should expect it. Jesus called out Paul (then Saul) on the road to Damascus (Acts 9:3-6), and sent him in a blinded condition to await the next instructions. Jesus called and sent Ananias to lay hands on Saul. Jesus word to Ananias about Saul was that he was a chosen vessel to bear His name to many (Acts. 9:15) In Jesus' word for Paul He said, "For I will show him how many things he must suffer for My name's sake" (Acts 9:16). I make no apology. Jesus did not promise Paul a rose garden. Jesus clearly informed Paul through Ananias that he would suffer persecution for His name's sake. As it turns out, suffering persecution can be an important tool used by the Father to train His sons. However, we need to understand its divine purpose. It is declared of Jesus, "though He was a Son, yet He learned obedience by the things which He suffered" (Hebr. 5:8). This wasn't obedience to the law, but obedience to the Father. When Jesus was tempted by the devil with the lust of the flesh when suffering hunger after his 40 day fast, He remained obedient to the word of the Father (Matt. 4:2-4). Jesus suffered the loss of the pride of life and lust of the eyes and remained obedient to the Father. The words He spoke and the deeds that He did were in love obedience to the Father (John 14:10). Jesus ultimately suffered persecution to trial and His sacrificial death on the cross, to become the author of eternal salvation (Hebr. 5:9).

The Dioxin affair was a political crisis that struck in Belgium during the spring of 1999. Contamination of feedstock with polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) was detected in animal food products, mainly eggs and chickens. Although health inspectors reported the problem in January, measurements were taken only from May 1999 when the media revealed the case. The then Flemish Liberals and Democrats (VLD) opposition leader Guy Verhofstadt claimed that the government was trying to cover up the so-called "nota Destickere", which proved that several secretaries of state were informed much earlier that the food contained PCBs and dioxins. Political scandal The Dioxin Affair started with some complaints from chicken farmers who noticed increased death among newborn chickens. Laboratory analysis confirmed the presence of dioxin-like toxins well above normal limits in the eggs, tissues and feed of the affected birds. It was later confirmed that the dioxin-like toxicity was a result of the presence of PCBs, many of which form part of the group of dioxins and dioxin-like compounds which have toxic properties, in the birds' feed. , Minister of Agriculture, and , Minister of Health, immediately resigned their positions and a commission was installed to investigate the probable sources of contamination and the errors that had been made by the government. Later investigations revealed that the source of the contamination came from an oil-and-fat-recycling company, Verkest, from Deinze. The fats were reprocessed into animal feed that also contained transformer oil (coolant fluid), a known source of PCBs. Public concern about the quality of animal food in general became a hot issue in the media. This forced the commission to ban certain recycling streams (like frying oil) from entering the food chain in order to prevent future contamination. Later studies indicated that there was never a serious danger to human health because the contaminated material was largely diluted during the production of the animal feed. Seven million chickens and fifty thousand pigs were slaughtered and discarded. Many farms were closed down for months and animal food products were banned from the market. During the investigation, questions were raised as to whether the costs for destroying the food and feedstock were necessary, as it seemed obvious that the contaminated food had already passed through the food market during the period from January to May. To protect the farmers, the Belgian government promised to compensate them for their losses. The crisis also damaged the export of Belgian animal products. Many Belgians went shopping for meat and dairy products in foreign countries. The total costs of the food crisis are estimated at 25 billion francs, or 625 million Euros. Political implications The dioxin crisis strongly influenced the federal elections of 1999 (as well as the regional elections of 1999). The governing party, Christian People's Party (CVP), suffered a historic loss and forced the end of premier Jean-Luc Dehaene's eight-year reign. This meant a victory for the VLD and Guy Verhofstadt, who had brought the affair to public attention in the first place, resulting in him becoming Prime Minister of Belgium until 2007. Green parties Ecolo and Agalev were also able to profit from the public concern around environment and food quality. Health implications In 2001, a public report announced that high dioxin levels were detected in Belgians' blood plasma compared to other European populations. A direct link to the dioxin crisis seemed obvious. Later comparison with blood samples that were taken before the crisis disproved this hypothesis. High levels could also be attributed to the dense populations and industry.

Station Assenede was een spoorwegstation langs de spoorlijn spoorlijn 55A (Zelzate - Eeklo) in de gemeente Assenede. Het station is nog tot 1976 gebruikt als goederenstation met verbinding naar Zelzate. Daarmee is station Assenede het langst gebruikte station op spoorlijn 55A. Inmiddels is op de oude spoorwegbedding een fietspad aangelegd. Na de sluiting van het station is het gebouw gesloopt om plaats te maken voor een nieuwbouw (welke qua bouwstijl een beetje aan een station doet denken). De Post heeft hier tot het begin van de 21e eeuw betrekking in genomen. Inmiddels zijn ook zij verhuisd en werd er een huisartsenpraktijk in gevestigd. Assenede Assenede

Hedge Fund Trader Banned For Manipulating Stock Prices HedgeCo News - The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) has permanently barred a former Deutsche Bank broker from the securities industry for manipulating the price of Monogram Biosciences (MGRM) stock in an effort to enrich a hedge fund client, himself and his family. A FINRA panel found that Edward S. Brokaw was engaged in a pattern of trading designed deliberately to drive the value of MGRM stock down and, in turn, drive up the value of contingent value rights (CVRs) on that stock. According to FINRA, Brokaw`s hedge fund client held approximately 18.5 million CVRs – nearly 30 percent of the 64.8 million MGRM CVRs outstanding. For every penny the final VWAP dropped below $2.90, the value of the hedge fund`s CVRs increased by $185,000. If the maximum payout of $.88 per CVR were achieved, FINRA said, the hedge fund would receive approximately $16 million. Brokaw and his family owned 217,000 of the CVRs, with a potential maximum payout of $188,000. Included in the evidence against Brokaw were tape recordings of his phone calls to his firm`s trading desk to place sell orders. In one phone call, Brokaw told a Deutsche Bank sales trader, "Take 50,000 MGRM at the market. Sell it down. Sell it as low as you want. Sell it hard, 50,000." FINRA also found that Brokaw violated a Deutsche Bank`s policy by only completing one "booking ticket" each day, each showing a single 100,000-share order to sell, each with a false notation that the order was given by the client directly to the trading desk rather than to Brokaw – thus circumventing automatic branch office compliance review of the orders. Deutsche Bank first suspended, then terminated Brokaw based on his MGRM sales orders for the hedge fund. UK Hedge Fund SRM's Case Against Countrywide Dismissed New York (HedgeCo.net) – London hedge fund SRM Global's case against Countrywide Financial Corp, the mortgage lender acquired by Bank of America, was dismissed yesterday according to a Reuters article. The hedge fund alleged that Countrywide was "flying blind" and had made misrepresentations and omissions, delaying disclosure of its problems in the U.S. housing market fall, Reuters said. The hedge fund said it lost nearly 90% of its value in 50 million shares of Countrywide common stock in 2008. Manhattan federal court Judge Richard Berman said, "The hedge fund failed to plead facts showing a primary violation of the securities laws," dismissing the lawsuit, which also identified Countrywide, Bank of America and former BOFA Chief Executive Officer Ken Lewis, former Countrywide Chief Executive Officer Angelo Mozilo, company President David Sambol and Executive Managing Director Eric Sieracki as defendants, the news source reported. The three former Countrywide executives are also defendants in an SEC civil fraud lawsuit, Reuters said.

House Bill on Carried Interests may Affect Hedge Funds HedgeCo News - The House of Representatives recently passed legislation pushing back the effective date of a proposed tax increase on hedge fund managers which would prevent a portion of their income realized from carried interests in investment partnerships from being characterized as capital gain. This provision would increase the effective tax rate for fund managers with respect to the portion of their compensation they receive as a "carried interest". An earlier version of the bill had a Jan. 1, 2010 effective date which has now been moved to Jan. 1, 2011. "As one of the revenue offsets for these extensions, the bill would generally prevent a portion of any income with respect to carried interests in investment partnerships held by service providers to such partnerships ("investment service partnership interests") from being characterized as capital gains." Federal income taxation specialist at RK&O Kenneth E. Werner, said, "Instead, such portion (50% for tax years beginning before January 1, 2013 and 75% thereafter) would be treated as ordinary income." The term 'investment services partnership interest' means any interest in a partnership which is held by any person if it was reasonably expected that such person (or any person related to such person) would provide a substantial quantity of any services in the nature of advising as to investing in, purchasing, or selling any specified asset, managing, acquiring, or disposing of any specified asset, arranging financing with respect to acquiring specified assets, or any activities in support of the foregoing. The term "specified asset" means securities, real estate held for rental or investment, partnership interests, commodities, or options or derivative contracts with respect to any of the foregoing. Hedge Funds Down -2.99% In May The Hennessee Hedge Fund Index declined -2.99% in May (+1.57% YTD), while the S&P 500 decreased -8.20% (-2.30% YTD), the Dow Jones Industrial Average declined -7.92% (-2.79%), and the NASDAQ Composite Index fell -8.29% (-0.53% YTD). Bonds advanced, as the Barclays Aggregate Bond Index increased +0.84% (+3.74% YTD), due to increases in U.S. Treasuries as both Investment Grade and High Yield bonds declined. "May was the worst month of the year for hedge funds and the worst monthly drawdown since October 2008. However, hedge fund managers avoided significant losses and outperformed traditional benchmarks on a relative basis due to conservative exposures, hedging and short positions," commented Charles Gradante , Co-Founder of Hennessee Group . "In May, we saw investors significantly de-risk portfolios as volatility increased. Given the negative headwinds that exist and potential global crises, hedge funds continue to operate with low gross exposure levels as they navigate an increasingly challenging investment environment." "Hedge funds' defensive positioning prior to May helped limit losses and provided downside protection," said Lee Hennessee, Managing Principal of Hennessee Group . "Downside protection is the primary benefit of the hedge fund asset class. In the current environment, where investors seem to be very skittish due to higher volatility and dramatic drawdowns, downside protection and hedges are extremely beneficial. We are seeing hedge funds garner continued interest by the investment community desiring lower drawdowns." Activist Hedge Funds Buying Newspaper Industry Debt HedgeCo News - The Los Angeles Times reports that hedge funds and banks are taking over some of the major US newspapers as they begin to emerge from bankruptcy protection. "Distressed debt" hedge funds such as Angelo, Gordon & Co. and Alden Global Capital and Oaktree Capital Management have been buying up cheap, delinquent debt, then taking it to Bankruptcy Court for a settlement that transforms the debt into a large share of company stock, the LA Times reported, with itself, Tribune Co., being one of the newspapers under siege along with KTLA-TV Channel 5 among others. The hedge funds, such as Angelo, Gordon & Co, as well as JPMorgan will be major shareholders in both Tribune and Freedom The LA Times reported. People with knowledge of the the hedge funds' strategy, say that the hedge funds want quality, branded journalism that still draws advertisers and therefore is worth preserving. "The hedge funds will have to remain patient if they want to reap what they've sown in newspapers," the LA Times quoted. "The funds probably don't even have a firm exit strategy in place, and it will take sure signs of an economic recovery to grease deals and liquidity events." Analysts believe, the LA Times said, that the newspaper industry had gotten so beaten down during the crisis that they have become a bargain for hedge funds. Opalesque: Hedge Funds Engage in "Armageddon Strategies" HedgeCo News - Opalesque has released the 32nd issue in a series of regional roundtable forums - the 2010 Opalesque West Coast Roundtable. The 25 page Roundtable publication covers "Armageddon" strategies and how plan sponsors have changed their game during the past 18 months. "All we did was provide huge amounts of liquidity." John Burbank from Passport Capital said regarding the massive deficits run up in an effort to stabilize the markets and economies, "The markets are as vulnerable to financial shocks and at least as highly leveraged than they were before the financial crisis. The Fed has more than doubled its balance sheet and will have to exit markets at some point or its legitimacy will be called into question". Burbank added that a number of people have asked Passport to design funds comprised of macro trades that would help them hedge against systemic risks. Jay Gould from Pillsbury also helped creating distaster insurance or "armageddon strategy" funds which work under the premise that U.S. will experience a very difficult time over the next several years, "including hyper-inflation, the abandonment of the U.S. dollar as the world's reserve currency, further complications associated with our huge deficit spending, and a rush toward hard assets." The Roundtable discussion also includes: • Overview of the latest products and research from funds and CTAs on intermarket correlations and quantitative trading • A discussion on the impact the regulatory changes will have on the markets: How will mandating more OTC products to clear/trade on an exchange impact liquidity? What is more important in a derivatives contract - liquidity or flexibility? • The democratization of alternatives: More funds using the 1940 Act format will be offering real CTA strategies with daily liquidity • Running a hedge fund from the West Coast: Why this location counts and where West beats the East Coast. The Roundtable was sponsored by the CME Group and the Opalesque 2010 Roundtable Series Sponsors Custom House Group and Taussig Capital. The following West Coast based experts participated: • John Burbank, Managing Member and Chief Investment Officer, Passport Capital • Jay Gould, Partner, Pillsbury • Jeremy Evnine, President, Evnine & Associates, Inc. • Matt Osborne, Executive Vice President & CIO, Altegris • Ranjit Sufi, Manging Director, Nuveen • Rishi Narang, Founding Principal, Telesis Capital • Tina Lemieux, Managing Director of Hedge Fund and Broker Services, CME Group • Tom Shanks, Founder and CEO, Hawksbill Matthias Knab, founder of Opalesque and internationally recognized expert on hedge funds and alternatives, moderates the Opalesque Roundtables.

Sialorrhea, more commonly known as drooling, is the medical term for an excess spillage of saliva from the mouth. It is a common symptom in certain neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson's disease (PD).1 Chronic sialorrhea is when you've experienced this drooling for at least 3 months. SIALORRHEA CAN AFFECT UP TO 3 OUT OF 4 PATIENTS WITH PD1 What causes Sialorrhea? In many patients with sialorrhea, it's not that their salivary glands are making too much saliva — it's that their neurodegenerative disease, such as PD, makes it hard to swallow. The saliva builds up or "pools" in the mouth, which leads to drooling. Sialorrhea can make many aspects of daily life more challenging.1 Up to 77% of patients feel social and emotional effects of drooling Sialorrhea can also have physical consequences, including2: Chapped lips, irritated skin around the mouth, and oral hygiene issues Sleep problems and increased tiredness Respiratory infections, such as pneumonia, and breathing problems HEAR FROM REAL PATIENTS "I play tennis six days a week for 2 hours and when I go to serve, drool just pours out of my mouth, and I am worried about other people watching me." —John*, living with PD "It was really annoying because he would be eating, sleeping…the sheets would be wet, the pillow would be wet…it was unbelievable." —Josiane*, PD caregiver *Actual patient and caregiver testimonials 1.

Last week, my eldest daughter asked me questions about Super Typhoon Yolanda. She told me she knew that Super Typhoon Yolanda devastated many towns in the Visayas Region and lots of families don't have houses to go home to or livelihood to start over again. Then, she asked me "What about their Christmas?" She wants to give some of her toys to the kids as a Christmas gift to them like Santa Clause. You see, children have the immense capacity to give love. They may still be young but they want to help even in their small way. It's never too early to start teaching our children to be compassionate to others. On December 1 and 8, 2013, Make Believe Productions together with Fully Booked will be having their event called "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" – a benefit especially designed for children in Manila to take part in relief efforts and express love and compassion for their young counterparts in the Visayas region, affected by Typhoon Yolanda. Our children can participate in their fun activities – interactive story telling by the Make Believe storytellers, A short discussion and sharing on the calamity and writing of letters and drawing of pictures to cheer up a friend. To make the event more special, child actress and host Hiyasmin Neri will be there on December 1 and Mike Shimamoto from Where's the Sheep will be there on December 8. Participants may bring donations in the form of clothing, blankets, easy to open canned goods, shoes, slippers, toys, and books. Children will also be given the opportunity to purchase books to include in their donations. Donations in kind will be turned over to the Villamor Relief Operations and ABS-CBN Foundation. Cash donations will also be accepted and turned over to World Vision Philippines. Somewhere Over the Rainbow will be held on December 1 and 8, 3:00 p.m., at the Children's Section of Fully Booked Bonifacio High Street. Please see the attached poster for more details. We hope you and your little ones can join us and spread the message! this is such a wonderful event! good luck..for sure the kids will be very happy for this! Sounds like a great event. I'll see if we can go. Thanks for sharing. What a nice gesture of your daughter. Keep it up! This sounds like a fun event to attend to. It's such a kind and altruistic gesture of your daughter to offer her toys to the young victims of the Typhoon Yolanda. It warms my heart how little kids can give so much love without asking anything in return. This is a very good event sponsored by Make Believe Foundation and Fully Booked. If I was in the Philippines right now, I will take my nephews and nieces to that event. You have a compassionate daughter. this sort of events are the kind i would like for me + my little man to participate. i will be sure to bring him to one of these when he gets a bit older. I believe kids are indeed full of love and so many in Youtube showed their heartache after what happened to Yolanda. This event is really something that will help the many who are in help at the same time will bring fun to children <3 Thanks for sharing! If I know anyone who can go I'll tell them about this!

I know I have been a little naughty this year, but I am writing to confess. I hope I can just make a fresh start for the New Year. I'm sure you'll understand about the excess of chocolate I consumed this year, it was just too delicious to pass up, but now my skin and waistline really show my weakness. Also, while I thought about wearing sunscreen every day, I'm afraid I just wasn't always successful. Now my skin is beginning to look a tad dull and damaged. But remember all the good things I did – won't these get me on the Nice List? I did give up tanning beds completely. It's been a whole year since I quit smoking; I know my skin and body are healthier for that. And those extra pounds I gained? Well, I am exercising regularly and slimming back down. An Obaji Chemical Peel to strip away my weathered, tired skin. The perfect gift so I can once again look refreshed and rejuvenated. A Mommy Makeover to tighten up my tummy, my waistline, and address my lower back. Even after losing weight, my skin can't get back to its taunt smoothness on its own. And why not go a little more traditional? Botox Cosmetic is a beauty standby! Perfect to get rid of my frown line and my forehead creases… I promise not to stress so much next year. Finally, I want a gift card from Vitenas Cosmetic Surgery. Then I can pick whatever I need: a chin lift, a vaginal rejuvenation, a hand fat transfer, or maybe some laser hair removal… oh, there are so many things – I just can't decide! Once Christmas morning arrives, I'll be the happiest, prettiest, and luckiest girl around. I will always believe in you, Santa. Thank you for believing in me! Women concerned about the way they look.

while i was in the shower and some thief-man-woman broke into my house in AA and stole my laptop, cell phone, and wallet. i had my 10 page fiction portfolio on my computer, and of course i didn't back it up to my flash drive so i had to REWRITE THE WHOLE DAMN THING. i was furious. livid. about to slit someone's throat. it was due that same day i got robbed. thank god i got an extension. i had also just bought a brand new phone when i renewed my verizon contract two weeks before the robbery. of course my parents don't believe in insurance for anything. i had to replace all my cards, including debit, credit, mcard (i couldn't check out any video equipment/edit for my classes until i got a new one), and $40 in cash. wasn't a fun week. this happened sometime in may but i couldn't blog about it due to my missing laptop. i just got a new one (macbook pro! what an upgrade from my long-lost toshiba), which i was planning on buying when i graduate but it will be quite useful now. stupid boy roommates didn't lock the front door, and of course i was the one who was punished! erg. i'm still pissed. i'm never living with 6 boys again. at least it was only for two months. Wow thanks for scaring me. Lol. I'll be double-triple sure to lock the doors now.

According to the most recent spam-email traffic report, spam messages account for 48% of all internet traffic. The ill-effects of spam messages is not limited to inconvenience alone, a large number of spam emails have malicious code and are sources of phishing scams. You need to protect your email server from spam mail by employing anti-spam solutions. Here are some of the positive aspects of spam filtering service. We all know that marketing, phishing, and spam emails are annoying. Since servers and emails are most trusted, spam can't be stopped before the message lands at your email host. A cloud spam solution sits between your mail server and the internet and stops spam mail from reaching your mail server. It continuously monitors your email and safeguards your systems from spam threats. Cloud-based spam solution is simple and effective than on-site spam filters. With cloud anti-spam solutions there are no complex integrations or configurations and the IT staff is free to focus on core responsibilities of maintaining systems and network efficiency. Cloud anti-spam solutions can reduce spam delivery by 70-90%. The anti-spam solution block spam messages before they are downloaded to your mail server. This characteristic saves bandwidth and you always have more bandwidth available for legitimate email traffic. Without cloud anti-spam solution, a large number of spam messages would get downloaded to your email server. These spam messages would occupy a significant amount of space on your email server until the spam is deleted. The more spam you receive, the more space it would occupy on your server. With spam filtering service in place, the spam messages are blocked before they are downloaded to your mail server that saves valuable storage space. Spam is not only a security or an IT issue. It also affects employee productivity. According to the National Technology Readiness survey, 75% of Internet users receive spam daily. The survey reveals the average number of spam messages received by an individual per day is 18.5 and the average time spent on deleting spam mail is 2.8 minutes every day. Looking at the figures above, it is not hard to imagine a large amount of time spent by your employees dealing with spam messages. According to InfoWorld report, organizations lose around 1.4% employees productivity every year due to spam messages. The report also reveals the monetary loss due to spam messages can be around $874 per employee per year. With anti-spam solutions in place, your employees would not be wasting time deleting spam messages and can focus on their work which would save thousands of dollars every year. On-premise anti-spam solutions require your organization to make huge investments in on-site infrastructure. Some of the costs include special hardware, software licenses, physical space to house servers, and IT staff to maintain anti-spam solution. When you choose cloud anti-spam solutions, you are not required to spend a hefty amount on infrastructure or technology required to keep anti-spam solution working. According to Mailguard findings, the cost of ownership of a cloud-based anti-spam solution is 5-10% lower than an on-site anti-spam hosted solution. It can take months or even a year to set up an onsite anti-spam solution for your organization. During this period, the threat of spam messages would loom over your organization and also cause productivity losses. Not to mention the downtime in case of regular maintenance. Cloud anti-spam solutions don't need any specialized hardware and there are no end-user software installation or complex hardware integrations on-site. This reduces the setup time and you could have an anti-spam solution working within a few days. Cloud-based anti-spam solutions employ advanced technologies to filter spam. Some of them are Domain Name Server Blackhole Lists, URIBL and SURBL Filters, Content Analysis tools, Recipient Verification Protocols, Sender Policy Frameworks, and SMTP Controls. Cloud anti-spam solutions could reduce business exposure risks by up to 99.97%. Long story short, looking at the increasing threats from spam messages, it's time to employ spam filtering solutions to protect your business interests.

It's your worst nightmare: the toilet is backing up all over the bathroom floor, the shower won't drain, and your plumber is telling you that it's because of a broken sewer line. Your only solution is to dig a big hole in your yard and replace the broken pipe. Or is it? What is trenchless sewer repair? Trenchless sewer repair is a style of pipe repair that does not require the pipe itself to be exposed to air or replaced. Why should I choose trenchless sewer repair? Depending on the size of your yard, the length of the trench required, and any amenities that are in the way (such as stairs, decks, walkways or above ground pools), digging a trench to repair or replace a sewer line can cost anywhere from a few thousand dollars to well over $20,000. This does not take into account the time it will take for grass to grow back or for your lawn and landscaping to be restored to its previous state. How does trenchless sewer repair work? Trenchless sewer repair works by using one or two methods: pipe lining or pipe bursting. Pipe lining, which is also known as CIPP or cured in place pipe, works by inserting a flexible tube into the pipe that needs to be replaced or repaired. This tube is then inflated, using either air or water, and cured, creating a watertight liner that effectively repairs the break. Pipe bursting requires a little bit of digging, but not as much as traditional trenching. Pipe bursting works by dragging a new pipe through the old pipe. This leaves the new pipe in place to act as a replacement while simultaneously 'bursting' the old pipe. Is trenchless sewer repair more expensive? When comparing the price of each individual process, yes, trenchless sewer repair procedures do cost more than traditional trench repairs, sometimes up to 50% more than traditional repairs, depending on the technique required. The cost saving aspect comes in when you consider how much you will need to pay to restore your yard, landscaping, and other items. If you are looking at having to spend exorbitant amounts of money repairing your yard, then trenchless repairs can be more cost effective. Are there any downsides to trenchless sewer repair? There are some minor negatives to the pipe lining style of trenchless sewer repair. Because the new lining is made of a resin-infused felt, it can be torn easily. If the newly lined pipe becomes clogged, it cannot be cleaned with a traditional snake or rooter without damaging the liner. It will have to be cleaned via hydro-jetting (spraying with high pressure water jets), which can be more expensive than traditional snaking methods. Getting the pipe liner can also take some time, since most of the liners are not often kept in stock and have to be custom ordered for each situation.

Michael McClure has long been noted for the popularity of his dynamic poetry performances. At the age of 22, he gave his first poetry reading at the legendary Six Gallery event in San Francisco, where Allen Ginsberg first read Howl. Today, McClure is more active than ever, writing and performing his poetry at festivals, and colleges and clubs across the country. He has received numerous awards, including a Guggenheim Fellowship, an Obie Award for Best Play, an NEA grant, the Alfred Jarry Award, and a Rockefeller grant for playwriting. McClure has written twenty plays and musicals, which are performed in the U.S. and abroad. His play The Beard provoked numerous censorship battles, in Los Angeles, the cast was arrested after each performance for fourteen nights in a row. Later, The Beard received two Obies in NYC and was warmly embraced in both London and Paris. The play has played a role in U.S. censorship and free speech battles since 1966 when it won the first lawsuit that tried to ban its performance. The poet is featured in several films, among them Scorcese's The Last Waltz, in which his reading of a poem by Chaucer "lilted, rolled, and seduced the audience into the lyric tonality of Middle English" (Atlanta Poetry Review). McClure played a Hells Angel in Norman Mailer's film Beyond the Law. He does a cameo in Peter Fonda's Hired Hand. McClure has made two television documentaries–The Maze and September Blackberries. His fourteen books of poetry include Jaguar Skies, Dark Brown, Huge Dreams, Rebel Lions, Rain Mirror and Plum Stones. He has published eight books of plays and four collections of essays, including essays on Bob Dylan and on environmental issues. His novels are The Mad Cub and The Adept. McClure's songs include "Mercedes Benz," popularized by Janis Joplin and new songs which are being performed by The Twenty-first Century Doors. His journalism has been featured in Rolling Stone, Vanity Fair, and the L.A. Times and San Francisco Chronicle. Michael McClure's travels include Africa, Mexico, South America, India, Thailand and Japan. He lives in the San Francisco Bay Area hills with his wife, the sculptor Amy Evans McClure.

GDPR Privacy & Data Protection Complementary Therapies > Complementary Therapy Clinic Therapeutic Gardening Art for Wellbeing In-Touch Volunteers' Week 2020 - Wendy's 'Volunteer of the year' Journey 1st June to 7th June marks Volunteers' Week. Our volunteer's are very special to us so we thought now would be a good time to celebrate our very own Wendy, who back in November 2019 won VAI's (Voluntary Action Islington) Volunteer of the Year in the 60+ category for her work with the Stress Project. Wendy has volunteered for the Stress Project for 12 years as a mental health champion, therapist and communications and PR officer. She brings a combination of skills in business & therapy and personal experience of disability and depression. Wendy's journey with the Stress Project goes back even further. At first she was a service user accessing courses of low-cost Acupuncture. This inspired Wendy to train as an Indian Head Massage and Massage therapist and become a volunteer with us at the weekly drop-in - and later as part of our outreach scheme at the Mayton Street festival, Manor Gardens, Centre 404 & at the Arsenal Foundation's Inclusion days for disabled Children. Wendy's therapeutic approach is about 'giving with an open ear', and in her own words; "I get energy by sharing, and I love the feeling of making people feel better, you can see it in their face almost immediately." In 2013, she was funded for 6 months by Vodafone World of Difference - who donated to Holloway Neighbourhood Group the same amount as she was paid – to work in a part-time capacity to improve our referrer network. This is work she continues to this day, being a superb ambassador while representing us at various network meetings such as with The Finsbury Park Women's network, encourage disadvantaged women to develop their own businesses and engage in training opportunities such as sewing and dressmaking. Although dealing with her own health issues and managing pain and disability, she has always supported us. Commuting is becoming extremely difficult for her and she has done remarkably well over the years. We've benefited greatly from Wendy's skill, knowledge and the links she has developed with partnership organisations within the community – the contribution is invaluable to us and also to her own physical and mental health and wellbeing. Our volunteers are the backbone and heart of our organisation and Wendy is an exemplary example of this. We are all so proud of her achievements – the fact that she won the award doesn't change that. Thank you Wendy and congratulations.

But when app start for the first time it crashes and says android.permission.READ_CONTACTS or android.permission.READ_CONTACTS required as error. as soon as press on OK in on error pop up dialog box. it restart it self asking for permission and works fine. here's the code inside fragment on onCreateView method to check whether permission already has been granted. if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(getActivity(), Manifest.permission.READ_CONTACTS) == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) { Runnable r = new Runnable() { @Override public void run() { getContacts(); } }; Thread thread = new Thread(r); thread.start(); }else{ if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M) { if (shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale(Manifest.permission.READ_CONTACTS)) { Toast.makeText(getActivity(),"Read contacts permission is required to function app correctly",Toast.LENGTH_LONG) .show(); } requestPermissions(new String[]{Manifest.permission.READ_CONTACTS}, REQUEST_READ_CONTACTS); } } here's the onRequestPermissionsResult method. @Override public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, @NonNull String[] permissions, @NonNull int[] grantResults) { switch (requestCode){ case REQUEST_READ_CONTACTS : Runnable r = new Runnable() { @Override public void run() { getContacts(); } }; Thread thread = new Thread(r); thread.start(); break; default: super.onRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode, permissions, grantResults); } } here's the code for get contact method. public void getContacts() { ContentResolver cr = getActivity().getContentResolver(); Cursor cur = cr.query(ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI, null, null, null, null); if (cur != null) { if (cur.getCount() > 0) { while (cur.moveToNext()) { String id = cur.getString(cur.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts._ID)); String name = cur.getString(cur.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME)); String imgPath = cur.getString(cur.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.PHOTO_URI)); if (Integer.parseInt(cur.getString(cur.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts.HAS_PHONE_NUMBER))) > 0) { Cursor ncur = cr.query(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI, null, ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTACT_ID + " = ?", new String[]{id}, null); if (ncur != null) { while (ncur.moveToNext()) { String phoneNumber = ncur.getString(ncur.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER)); String reDefinedPhoneNumber = ""; if (phoneNumber.contains("-")) { String[] split = phoneNumber.split("-"); for (String k : split) { reDefinedPhoneNumber = reDefinedPhoneNumber.concat(k); } } else if (phoneNumber.contains(" ")) { String[] split = phoneNumber.split(" "); for (String k : split) { reDefinedPhoneNumber = reDefinedPhoneNumber.concat(k); } } else { reDefinedPhoneNumber = phoneNumber; } Contact contact = new Contact(); contact.setId(contact.getId()); contact.setName(name); contact.setNumber(reDefinedPhoneNumber); contact.setImgPath(imgPath); contacts.add(contact); } ncur.close(); } } } } cur.close(); } } Here's AndroidManifest.xml code. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" package="com.shan.chathuranga.smsscheduler"> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SEND_SMS" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_CONTACTS" /> </manifest> what am I doing wrong. works fine in below marshmallow.

Q: Is there a Python function to calculate the diff based on the first element? I have a pandas dataframe, like this example: df = pd.DataFrame({ 'steps': ['step1','step2', 'step3', 'step4','step5'], 'qty': [100, 95, 92, 87, 78]}, index=[0,1,2,3,4]) I would like to calculate the percentage of abandonments in each step, based on the first value. Output: Steps qty Tx % Step1 100 0,00% Step2 95 5,00% Step3 92 3,00% Step4 87 5,00% Step5 78 9,00% I thought about using pd.pct_change(), but it doesn't work as expected. The manual calculation would be something like: values = [(1 - df['qty'][0]/df['qty'][0]) - (1-df['qty'][0]/df['qty'][0]), (1 - df['qty'][1]/df['qty'][0]) - (1-df['qty'][0]/df['qty'][0]), (1 - df['qty'][2]/df['qty'][0]) - (1-df['qty'][1]/df['qty'][0]), (1 - df['qty'][3]/df['qty'][0]) - (1-df['qty'][2]/df['qty'][0]), (1 - df['qty'][4]/df['qty'][0]) - (1-df['qty'][3]/df['qty'][0])] However, I believe that this is not scalable, especially considering increasing the number of steps or time periods. Could someone help me think of some function or show a rationale that can make this calculation simpler? A: You can use pd.Series.shift to shift the qty column one element down. Then simply calculate the difference between the shifted column and itself: import pandas as pd df = pd.DataFrame({ 'steps': ['step1','step2', 'step3', 'step4','step5'], 'qty': [100, 95, 92, 87, 78], }) df['Tx %'] = df.qty.shift() - df.qty print(df) # output: # steps qty Tx % # 0 step1 100 NaN # 1 step2 95 5.0 # 2 step3 92 3.0 # 3 step4 87 5.0 # 4 step5 78 9.0 A: This works: # you have values = [(1 - df['qty'][0]/df['qty'][0]) - (1-df['qty'][0]/df['qty'][0]), (1 - df['qty'][1]/df['qty'][0]) - (1-df['qty'][0]/df['qty'][0]), (1 - df['qty'][2]/df['qty'][0]) - (1-df['qty'][1]/df['qty'][0]), (1 - df['qty'][3]/df['qty'][0]) - (1-df['qty'][2]/df['qty'][0]), (1 - df['qty'][4]/df['qty'][0]) - (1-df['qty'][3]/df['qty'][0])] # 1s cancel out, so the above is equivalent to values = [( - df['qty'][0]/df['qty'][0]) + (df['qty'][0]/df['qty'][0]), ( - df['qty'][1]/df['qty'][0]) + (df['qty'][0]/df['qty'][0]), ( - df['qty'][2]/df['qty'][0]) + (df['qty'][1]/df['qty'][0]), ( - df['qty'][3]/df['qty'][0]) + (df['qty'][2]/df['qty'][0]), ( - df['qty'][4]/df['qty'][0]) + (df['qty'][3]/df['qty'][0])] # since every element is divided by df['qty'][0], you can take it out, so the above is equivalent to values = [( - df['qty'][0] + df['qty'][0]) / df['qty'][0], ( - df['qty'][1] + df['qty'][0]) / df['qty'][0], ( - df['qty'][2] + df['qty'][1]) / df['qty'][0], ( - df['qty'][3] + df['qty'][2]) / df['qty'][0], ( - df['qty'][4] + df['qty'][3]) / df['qty'][0]] #the RHS is the LHS shifted one level down, so it's equivalent to: values = (- df['qty'] + df['qty'].shift()).fillna(0) / df['qty'][0] # in summary df['Tx %'] = (df['qty'].shift() - df['qty']).fillna(0) / df['qty'][0] * 100 steps qty Tx % 0 step1 100 0.0 1 step2 95 5.0 2 step3 92 3.0 3 step4 87 5.0 4 step5 78 9.0 A: This response my doubt: df['Tx %'] = round(((1 - df.qty / df.qty[0]) - (1- df.qty.shift() / df.qty[0]))*100, 2) Thanks to @jfaccioni

Tim Cook and Other Apple Executives Urge Supreme Court to Protect 'Dreamers' From the Trump Administration Top executives at Apple attached their names to an amicus brief urging the Supreme Court to uphold DACA. By Mary Meisenzahl , Business Insider DACA, or Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, provides a legal way for undocumented children brought to the United States to remain in the country In the brief, Apple mentions that it employees 443 Dreamers. Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories. Apple is putting its support behind DACA, the Obama administration program that allows undocumented immigrants brought into the United States as children to stay in the country. The company filed an amicus brief in support of the policy to protect the so-called Dreamers on Wednesday, raising the stakes in a high-profile case that will be taken up by the Supreme Court in the coming months. The legal filing lists Apple, along with CEO Tim Cook and retail boss Deirdre O'Brien. "In this submission, Mr. Cook and Ms. O'Brien speak for Apple and, importantly, for themselves," the friend of the court brief says. Apple's legal brief is a significant move by the tech company to participate in a high-profile public policy debate that puts it directly at odds with President Donald Trump. The Trump administration has sought to end the DACA protections, as it seeks to advance a controversial anti-immigration agenda. Trump cancelled the DACA program in 2017, but the move was blocked by the lower courts and the issue is expected to be decided by the US Supreme Court in its current term. "Apple employs DACA recipients who embody Apple's commitment to innovation in a wide variety of positions. As we explain below, they, and immigrants like them, are vital to Apple's success. They spark creativity and help drive innovation. They are among our most driven and selfless colleagues," the company wrote in the brief. According to the brief, Apple employs 443 Dreamers from over 25 countries. Apple refers to itself as "one of the most successful companies in the history of the world," and says that this would not have been possible with its diverse workforce, partially attributing its success to Dreamers. Apple CEO Tim Cook has spoken out for Dreamers in the past. "I stand with them. They deserve our respect as equals and a solution rooted in American values,"Cook tweeted in 2017. Still, in joining the legal fight over DACA, Apple risks raising the ire of Trump, whose ongoing trade war with China has the potential to hugely impact Apple's business. Apple's supply chain for products from iPhones to Macs is deeply entwined in China, and so far, Cook has managed to insulate the company from many of the tariffs Trump has imposed on Chinese goods. Wednesday's legal brief includes the personal stories of five individual Dreamers that work at Apple, and says that "dreamers fuel creativity, broaden knowledge, and help drive innovation. They inspire all of us. They make Apple better. They make our country better." Apple clarifies that Dreamers work in all areas of the company, including hardware development, software development, support, and retail. This is a continuation of Apple's support of Dreamers. 9to5Mac reported that in 2017, Apple employed 250 Dreamers, so the company has hired significantly more in the past 2 years. That same year, Apple joined other companies in signing a brief against efforts to end DACA. Tim Cook also released a memo to employees promising that Apple would work with the US Congress on legislation to protect DACA recipients. This post originally appeared on Business Insider.

Vintage Sundays at SoWa Boston by Briana Palma | Posted January 14, 2013 Topics: antiques, Bentley, Biorn Maybury-Lewis, Boston, bulletin, Carole Bentley, Draicchio, John Warren, Kerry Draicchio, Massachusettes, Mayra Gonzalez, Painted Pretty, recycle, Reuse, South End, South of Washington, SoWa, SoWa Vintage Market, Stephanie Pernice, The House of Findings, upcycle, vintage shopping Boston's only vintage market can be found in SoWa, a district of the city's South End that is known for its artistic community. Photograph by Briana Palma. Signs beckon people inside, where music plays and people leisurely browse stalls of vintage and antique goods. Photograph courtesy of Stephanie Pernice. It's a quiet and wintery Sunday morning in the SoWa (South of Washington Street) neighbourhood of Boston's South End. Just a few cars move along Harrison Avenue, while even fewer pedestrians walk along the snow-covered sidewalk. Normally, the parking lot for number 460, a long brick building, buzzes with the motors of food trucks - they're absent because of the Christmas holidays - that are lined up to serve everything from gourmet pickles and lobster rolls to cupcakes and ice cream. Despite its quiet surroundings, the old factory building comes to life every Sunday throughout the year for the SoWa Vintage Market. Signs beckon people inside, where music plays and people leisurely browse stalls of vintage and antique goods. Some of the vendors gather together, their Boston accents loud and clear as they chat; others sit quietly with books perched in their laps, speaking up only when customers approach. The only market of its kind in the city, SoWa Vintage came into existence four years ago when long-time dealers Stephanie Pernice and John Warren realised Boston was lacking such an experience. "John and I were going to Brooklyn every week to the Brooklyn Flea," Pernice says. "We live here in the Boston area and when the economy got really bad we went there every week just to survive and stay in business and be able to keep doing this rather than have to get jobs." Pernice explains that antiques dealers used to participate in the now nine-year-old seasonal SoWa Open Market, a staple of the thriving artistic and cultural neighbourhood that SoWa has become in the last decade. Yet when the opportunity arose to head indoors and use the 7,000-square-foot, three-room space, they decided to establish a separate market. At the start, only seven vendors participated, but by the end of the first year and just before shutting down for the winter, Pernice and Warren had reached their 30-vendor capacity. Then two years ago, they transformed their market from a warm-weather event to a year-round destination for locals as well as tourists, thanks to support from the tourism and hospitality industries. Though her business The House of Findings is primarily based online, veteran retailer Mayra Gonzalez sells a large selection of vintage women's clothing and accessories at the weekly SoWa Vintage Market. Photograph by Briana Palma. And indeed, SoWa does attract an eclectic group of patrons, which seems fitting with its diverse and ever-changing collection of goods. "We have a lot of everybody," Pernice says. "We have a lot of regulars and we have a lot of new people." The market attracts people of all ages, from young collectors to families to seniors. As proof, Pernice points to a miniature, red, bench-like piece. "We have a girl who comes in and she collects dollhouse furniture and little doll stuff, so if we find anything we save it for her." Still, at the SoWa Vintage Market, there's much more to discover than playthings for children. Trolling through the different stalls - all organised against a backdrop of red brick walls - you're sure to come across recognisable gems for both your home and wardrobe. The findings range from Fendi purses and cashmere scarves to copies of the now-defunct Life magazine and clunky old typewriters. There's even a women's sweater from Filene's, the locally loved department store bought out by the parent company of Macy's in 2005. On this day, Pernice puts on display a boxy, gold purse purchased at a church sale the previous day. As she shows off all of its features - including compartments for perfume, powder, jewellery and a hidden cigarette case - her passion for vintage and antiques shines through. "Isn't that cool?" she asks, smiling. "And it came with its original little pouch and an original little gift box, too." Pernice proudly reveals another recent find: a leather, accordion-style men's toiletry bag made by the London Harness Company. "I try to buy Rockefeller-level items," she explains. "That's sort of my shtick. You can get better second-hand things if you buy things of quality than you can buy brand new today." Although the quality of the items found at the market remains consistent, it has a fresh and different feeling each Sunday. Vendors are required to continually change their merchandise and bring in new items "because otherwise the market stagnates and dies," Pernice says. She also welcomes new dealers on a regular basis to help maintain an element of dynamism for repeat customers. One dealer who recently joined SoWa is Mayra Gonzalez. Raised in New York City, Gonzalez became interested in vintage as a teenager in the 1970s. "I started seriously collecting stuff around age 17," she says. "I sort of discovered it by accident. I would just hang out at church flea markets and garage sales and thrift stores." By 1988, Gonzalez had combined her accidental hobby with experience as a buyer and opened her own store in Miami called Findings. After moving to the Boston area in 2005, Gonzalez continued to collect vintage women's clothing and accessories, and she began planning for a new business in early 2012. Although she hoped to open another store, the economic downturn led her to the web. In September of last year, she and husband Biorn Maybury-Lewis launched The House of Findings, an online boutique that sells both vintage and modern goods. One month later, the couple joined the SoWa Vintage Market, which Gonzalez says functions as her "lab." "I just needed a place that I could physically be and see the girls," she explains. "Who are the girls? What are they buying? What are they thinking? I think by talking to them I learn a lot about what they need, what they want, what they like. … It's like a relationship." Pernice, who has been collecting antiques for 20 years, echoes that sentiment, saying that she prefers selling in markets rather than shops because of the interaction with the customer. "You know, we consider ourselves an adoption agency for vintage and antiques, matching the right person to the thing," she adds. "I try to buy Rockefeller-level items," she explains. "That's sort of my shtick. You can get better second-hand things if you buy things of quality than you can buy brand new today." Like Gonzalez and Pernice, many vendors at SoWa specialise in vintage goods; others, though, are all about upcycling and recycling. For example, Carole Bentley and Kerry Draicchio, owners of Painted Pretty, refurbish antique furniture. At their SoWa stall, you'll find old wooden frames and silver platters, which have been transformed into chalkboards. "Our motto is to recycle and reuse everything, so we take old pieces and we paint them up." Bentley says. "A lot of it was basically going to go into a landfill." Although they're always busy restoring and painting furniture in their studio in Abington, Massachusetts, Bentley and Draicchio's sole retail space is at SoWa. The two have been a part of the market since its establishment and always look forward to Sundays. "We picked out our spot and we haven't moved since," Bentley says. "I love it," she adds. "You can sit out here and have something to eat and people watch. They have live music in the summertime. And out here," she adds, pointing to the window, "they're playing soccer on the fields and people go and watch that. It's just great." Bentley and the other vendors admit that getting the word out and driving traffic to SoWa can prove difficult, as the neighbourhood sits on the edge of the city, away from major retail areas like the Back Bay and Faneuil Hall. Still, they remain positive and say they've seen a rise in local interest in the market and the vintage fashion scene as a whole in recent years. "A lot of people come just for the food trucks and they say, 'Oh, there's a vintage market here?'" explains Bentley. "They have no idea. I think there's still a challenge for this particular market, getting people to know that we're inside and all of that. It takes a little time, but I love it. It's one of the best things we ever did." THE GENTEEL Weekly Sign up to receive a weekly dispatch from The Genteel.

Protesters mark anniversary of Luis Gongora's death by SFPD Photo: Andre Torrez SAN FRANCISCO (BCN)-- To mark the one-year anniversary since an allegedly knife-wielding homeless man was shot and killed by San Francisco police officers, activist held a march from the site of his death in the city's Mission District to City Hall this morning. Luis Gongora Pat, 45, was shot and killed moments after police arrived near the intersection of 19th and Shotwell streets on April 7, 2016. He later died in San Francisco General Hospital. Protesters gathered today at about 10 a.m. -- the same time Gongora was shot -- and marched to City Hall, stopping along the way at the Mission District police station and a building where Gongora lived before he became homeless. They carried signs adorned with other people shot by San Francisco police, such as Alex Nieto, and some danced in costumes. Gongora was an indigenous Mayan man who had emigrated to the U.S.from the Mexican state of Yucatan more than a decade ago and spoke little English or Spanish. He had become homeless and was living at an encampment near where he was killed. Homeless outreach workers there had called police after allegedly seeing Gongora swinging a large kitchen knife, according to police. The officers found him seated on the sidewalk with the knife in his hand. After ordering him in both English and Spanish to put the knife down, they fired beanbag rounds at him, but police said he then stood up and ran at the officers with the knife in his hand. Sgt. Nate Steger and Officer Michael Mellone both shot him. A lawsuit filed by the family contends that Gongora never got up and the officers shot him while he was still seated on the sidewalk, never giving him a chance to comply. In addition to the police, a frequent target of criticism by the activists has been District Attorney George Gascon, who has been a strong advocate for police reforms but slow to make decisions in officer-involved shootings. Gongora's cousin, Luís Poot Pat, had strong words for Gascon as he stood outside the Mission police station today. "If you cannot do your job, resign," he said to Gascon. "I would not wish this tragedy on anyone," he said, remembering the days when he first learned Gongora had died. "Unfortunately in those days, the most difficult of my life, I became aware of all the other people killed by the police." Of 12 fatal shootings by San Francisco police officers in the last three years, Gascon has only made a decision about whether to charge the officers in Nieto's case, when he cleared the four involved officers on Feb.12, 2015. He has not reached a charging decision in a fatal officer-involved shooting in more than two years.

The Virginia General Assembly's 2016 session came to a close Friday with the passage of the state's $100 billion biennial budget. The adopted spending plan comes with big news for Dulles Airport: Gov. Terry McAuliffe's proposed $50 million for the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority over the next two years survived budget deliberations. The $25 million-per-year supplement, McAuliffe said, will help Dulles Airport push down ticket prices as it struggles to compete with other major airports. See other session highlights below. The new budget includes about $900 million more in K-12 spending in the next two years than the previous biennial budget. Included in that figure is about a 2 percent raise for public school teachers. Two bills that might have caused headaches for local schools were left in the House education committee. LeMunyon's House Bill 250 would have allowed students who have been assigned to different schools by attendance zone boundary changes to finish out their time at their current school. Another, Del. Kathleen Murphy's (D-34) HB 457, would have required every new elementary school to be built with room for full-day kindergarten, and required Loudoun's School Board to develop a plan to phase in full-day kindergarten in three years. Del. Dave LaRock's (R-33) HB 259 would have prohibited the state Board of Education from replacing Standards of Learning with Common Core Standards without first getting approval from the General Assembly. The governor vetoed the bill, and the House of Delegates fell two votes short of overcoming the veto. Two bills sponsored by Del. Thomas A. "Tag" Greason (R-32) to modify the Standards of Learning were successful. One, HB 831, requires that SOL exams include computer science and computational thinking, including computer coding. This comes while educators debate allowing coding as an alternative to foreign language requirements. Another, HB 381, requires the Board of Education to prescribe alternative SOL assessments for children with disabilities. The General Assembly hit Loudoun hard this year with a bill that will limit agreements the county government makes with developers to keep up with growth. The bill was penned by the Homebuilders Association of Virginia and passed by state legislators and signed by the governor over the objections of localities across the state. The Virginia Municipal League tried unsuccessfully to get a waiver process written into the bill. Supervisors and staff from Loudoun spent time in Richmond trying to get exemptions written into the bill, and most of the Loudoun delegation of state delegates and senators voted against the bill outright or worked to get revisions written in. Meanwhile, the county continues to discover ramifications of the bill, and several legislators have said they plan to continue working to weaken the bill's impact next year.
