No to the Invasion
The Center for Curatorial Studies, Bard College will present No to the Invasion: Breakdowns and Side Effects, an exhibition of works drawn from the collection of the Barjeel Art Foundation, a collecting philanthropic institution based in the United Arab Emirates. The exhibition, featuring works dating from 1990 to 2016, conjures various histories intersecting a shared geo-political space: The Arabic-speaking world—a geographic region that includes the twenty-two countries of the Arab League and whose contemporary coordinates lay between Mauritania, North Africa, and West Asia. To begin in 1990 is to recall a socio-political landscape characterized by shifting regimes of power following Pan-Arabism, the Cold War, the Kuwait War, and the end of the Lebanese Civil War. Today, while battles in Syria and Iraq continue to rage and people are increasingly displaced, radicalism and neoliberal capitalism thrive. The rumblings of these social, political, and economic histories provide a framework for critical engagement with the exhibited works.
The title of the show was borrowed from a 1990 linocut print of the same name produced by the Kuwaiti artist Thuraya Al-Baqsami three days after the start of the Iraq-Kuwait war and intended as a resistance poster against the invasion. In the print, which will be on view, the phrase ‘no to the invasion’ appears in Arabic below two figures pictured lamenting the aggression. The works in this exhibition propose an expanded meaning of the term invasion, one that goes beyond connotations of incursion, trespassing, and violation to include a sudden surge or confrontation. Here, the phrase ‘no to the invasion’ might be a refusal of irruptions by the media, global capital, or regional magnates on one’s space, mind, or body. In particular, the works articulate the body as it is subjected to various conditions of surveillance, representation, and disaster. In such works as Akram Zaatari’s Her + Him, (2001-2011) documentation of a personal encounter offers a critical examination of photographic portraiture and its language. In Ala Younis’s Plan for Greater Baghdad (2015), archival research materials and an imagined urban plan reinforce the notion that architecture is an expression of power, one that acts upon the body. These projects—which range from research-based and experimental documentary to engagements with abstraction and conceptualism—tell us something about the limits of representation, the production of histories, and the transformation of landscapes.

Community Message 11-25-11: Security Practices
I've received a message from the Officers of the Doctoral Students' Council regarding security practices at the Graduate Center. I was pleased to have their thoughtful inquiry. The concerns they raised are of general import, so I take the liberty of answering in the form of a community message. I will also address security issues their letter did not raise. I'll begin with some specifics and then turn to broader themes.
I've been asked whether the size of our security staff has been increased. It has not. To the contrary, staffing has been reduced in the last year by 4.2 positions. That reduction is the consequence of an over 50% increase in contract guard billing rates. Since 1999, we are down a total of seven positions. We have had some turn-over this year, so if you see an unfamiliar face, please introduce yourself.
The greater security presence in the building last Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and again on Monday, resulted from holding officers from the 7 to 3 shift over and bringing in the 3 to 11 staff early. No external personnel were involved. The cost attendant to that action will be absorbed through savings effected in our security budget in the course of the year.
We took that action at the request of CUNY central, as did every CUNY college. The request was made in response to a number of non-specific web notices concerning college occupations. We complied for two reasons: first, to ensure the peace of our community in uncertain circumstances; and second -- and more important -- to guarantee that should the need for additional security staff arise, they would be members of our community, not people whom we do not know and who do not know us.
There was no intent to intimidate students, staff, or faculty; the dispersal of officers throughout the building, rather than grouping a larger than usual number of security staff at the entrance to the Graduate Center or elsewhere in the building, was meant to avoid that very prospect. I deeply regret any perception to the contrary.
Graduate Center peace officers have been trained in first amendment rights as well as the laws of arrest, search, seizure, and the lawful use of force. They have been authorized by New York State law to make arrests for violation of NYS penal code; they may use reasonable force to protect themselves and others. They are not authorized to conduct surveillance of students, staff, or faculty. This point is self-evident to me, but I make it in deference to concerns raised about such activity at other colleges.
There are no plans whatsoever for a sustained increase in security. Should occasional need arise, additional officers would be drawn from our current staff.
Security staff regularly check on all events in the building to insure compliance with NYC fire codes and to gather attendance statistics for the Office of Special Events. They do not report on the content of those events.
Although we have only eight uniformed peace officers, our practice is to respond to Graduate Center protest activity with Graduate Center personnel. NYPD is responsible for protecting public officials attending events at the Graduate Center and for policing the sidewalks around our building. Only in an emergency would they be called into the Graduate Center.
All of the above is nuts and bolts. Here's what matters, my friends. We are a university, a community of scholars. The vital exchange of ideas is the heart of our enterprise. That's one of the two pillars that sustain a university and underwrite its very being. The other is respect, the protection of the rights of all to pursue their work and to conduct their lives. Free speech and civility are mutually sustaining. Each is meaningless without the other. Defending both -- absolutely -- is the challenge we face. Thus far, we have, together, succeeded. Our security staff, under the direction of John Flaherty, has been -- in my opinion -- flawless in supporting peaceful protest and free assembly. They deserve our thanks. Similarly, faculty, students, and staff who have participated in the variety of activities associated with the Occupy movement have been both forceful in their expression and respectful in their exchange. I've been reminded again and again that the Graduate Center is a remarkable place and that I am very privileged to be a member of this community.
With respect and deep regard,
Submitted on: DEC 15, 2011

How your business can apply more intelligence to the budgeting process
Apr 25, 2012 2:02:00 PM
Over recent months there have been several articles written on the topic of Finance and Procurement coming together for the greater good. Following on from this theme, this post looks at what value Procurement can bring to the overall budgeting process.
From a Finance perspective, effective budgeting requires historical/current data and future projections, combined with knowledge and insights to draw out trends and highlight performance gaps. Often those departmental leaders who paint a rosier picture of the future (usually those closely related to revenue growth activities) or deal with highly complex 'specialist areas' (think IT / Marketing) will tend to receive more (if not all) of their budget requests, whilst those unable to articulate their requirements effectively will not. And articulating a highly complex business need or plan to a non-expert, in areas such as IT or Marketing, is not easy. Why do you think IT often is a great unknown that receives large budgets with little accountability?
Additionally, when the top line is not growing as fast as it has in the past, the overall budget pot inevitably becomes stretched. As such, during the budgeting process our friends in Finance have to use the blunt instrument of slashing budget requests through rough analysis and gut-feel. This is by no means meant to be a negative reflection on Finance's approach to budgeting. However, Finance faces the difficult challenge of scrutinising and challenging the various buckets of spend, each with complex and intelligent rationales sitting behind them, when Finance itself is not an expert in each of the particular fields or departments requesting budget. So how can they do this? How can they offer informed commercial challenge? How can they cut through the 'bull' that department heads add onto certain spend areas?
Why not involve the people who understand how much things cost and are able to impact change across the organisations? That is - Procurement.
Now, before you begin to cynically scoff, there is a requirement that Procurement has some grasp on both business and department objectives (ideally with some level of amicable relationship at the department level already underway). With this as a base, there are two alternative methods for approaching the budgeting process:
- Finance continues to apply the tried and trusted blunt instrument to each budget BUT rather than leave the department Head feeling slightly perturbed and frustrated that they now have to achieve the same objective with less cash behind them, setup a forum in which Procurement and the department Head discuss how the two teams can drive better efficiencies out of the reduced budget from the external supply market.
- The budgeting cycle begins earlier - at least for the departments. Under Finance's directive, the Procurement team works alongside each of the departments (similar to a Finance partner - however the Procurement partner focuses externally on the supply market) to build up the budget based on current information together (taking into account various cost ranges along the way). The department Head is then able to take more accurate and current figures back to the budget meeting - with a range of options for fluctuating spend up or down depending on the final budget figure.
So the budget process and mid-year budget cuts need not be a painful process. Indeed, it can be the catalyst to improve communication, cross-functional working, innovation and work towards a culture of better commercial rigour.
This is another of the ways that Procurement needs to be powering the business - but Procurement has a journey to go on in most businesses before this type of benefit can become the norm. | 2017-03-27T14:31:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-13/segments/1490218189474.87/warc/CC-MAIN-20170322212949-00142-ip-10-233-31-227.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.953966 | 740 | {

Octagon persona. Lyrically he is in top form here: flow and delivery are excellent and the lyrics are wonderfully and characteristically bizarre. Gotta love that No Limit parody cover too. Progressive, soulful, stylistic, and inventive production and exceptional lyricism by Gift Of Gab, truly one of the most underrated and poetic emcees in the Hip Hop game.
Nia is a gem. Fresh beats and dope rhymes throughout — without a doubt, this is one of the best concept albums in Hip Hop ever. Soundpieces: Da Antidote is their debut, and is now recognized as an underground classic. The album especially shines because of the wonderfully inventive and creative board work by Madlib, and also because of the point Lootpack tries to make — to be the real Hip Hop alternative to the materialism and violence in the dumbed-down mainstream rap.
Nothing surprising or substantial here: just great fun, wit, and wordplay by two great stoner emcees who complement each other styles perfectly. It was entirely produced by Jeru the Damaja himself, unlike his first two albums which were produced by DJ Premier. Jeru represents true Hip Hop at its rawest and this album is more than a worthy part of his catalog. Underrated or overrated?

Original German WWII Heer Army Medal and Insignia Grouping
Original Items: Only One Set Available. The German Army (German: Heer) was the land forces component of the Wehrmacht, the regular German Armed Forces, from 1935 until it was demobilized and later dissolved in August 1946.The Wehrmacht also included the Kriegsmarine (Navy) and the Luftwaffe (Air Force). During World War II, a total of about 13 million soldiers served in the German Army. Most army personnel were conscripted.
Only 17 months after Adolf Hitler announced publicly the rearmament program, the Army reached its projected goal of 36 divisions. During the autumn of 1937, two more corps were formed. In 1938, four additional corps were formed with the inclusion of the five divisions of the Austrian Army after the Anschluss in March. During the period of its expansion by Adolf Hitler, the German Army continued to develop concepts pioneered during World War I, combining ground (Heer) and air (Luftwaffe) assets into combined arms teams. Coupled with operational and tactical methods such as encirclement and the "battle of annihilation", the German military managed quick victories in the two initial years of World War II, prompting the use of the word Blitzkrieg (literally lightning war, meaning lightning-fast war) for the techniques used.
The German Army entered the war with a majority of its infantry formations relying on horse-drawn transport. The infantry remained foot soldiers throughout the war; artillery also remained primarily horse-drawn. The motorized formations received much attention in the world press in the opening years of the war, and were cited as the main reason for the success of the German invasions of Poland (September 1939), Norway and Denmark (April 1940), Belgium, France and Netherlands (May 1940), Yugoslavia (April 1941) and Operation Barbarossa, the invasion of the Soviet Union (June 1941). However their motorized and tank formations accounted for only 20% of the Heer's capacity at their peak strength. The army's lack of trucks (and petroleum to run them) was a severe handicap to infantry movement especially during and after the Normandy invasion when Allied air power devastated the French rail network north of the Loire.
The following grouping consists of awards and insignia given to a solider in the German Army (Heer) during WW2. Every part of this set is 100% authentic (no reproductions) and in good to very good condition. The set is comprised as follows:
- Iron Cross 2nd Class (Eisernes Kreuz 2. Klasse - abbreviated as EK 2 or E.K.2.) The Iron Cross was awarded for bravery in battle as well as other military contributions in a battlefield environment.
- Infantry Assault Badge in Silver. The Infantry Assault Badge (German: Infanterie-Sturmabzeichen) was a German war badge awarded to Waffen SS and Wehrmacht Heer soldiers during the Second World War. This decoration was instituted on 20 December 1939 by the Commander-in-Chief of the German Army, Generalfeldmarschall Walther von Brauchitsch. It could be awarded to members of non-motorized Infantry units and units of the Gebirgsjäger that had participated in Infantry assaults, with light Infantry weapons, on at least three days of battle in the front line on or after 1 January 1940. When a counter offensive led to fighting, it could also apply. Award of the Infantry Assault Badge was authorized at regimental command level. The silver class was instituted on 20 December 1939 by the commander of the OKH, Walther von Brauchitsch, and was awarded to infantry soldiers according to one of the following criteria: To have taken part in at least three: infantry assaults (including counter-attacks) or at least three armed reconnaissance operations or engaged in hand-to-hand combat in an assault position or participated on three separate days in the restitution of combat positions.
- Early War Black Wound Badge. The Wound Badge (German: Verwundetenabzeichen) was a military decoration first promulgated by Wilhelm II, German Emperor on 3 March 1918, which was awarded to wounded or frostbitten soldiers of the Imperial German Army, during World War I. Between the world wars, it was awarded to members of the German armed forces who fought on the Nationalist side of the Spanish Civil War, 193839, and received combat related wounds. It was awarded to members in the Reichswehr, the Wehrmacht, SS and the auxiliary service organizations during the Second World War. After March 1943, due to the increasing number of Allied bombings, it was also awarded to wounded civilians in air raids. It was awarded when the wound was the result of enemy hostile action, with an exception being for frost-bite.
- Eastern Front Medal. The Eastern Front Medal (German: Medaille Winterschlacht im Osten 1941/42) was a World War II German military decoration awarded to both German and Axis personnel. It was for those who served on the German Eastern Front during the "first winter campaign" period of 15 November 1941 to 15 April 1942. It was instituted on 26 May 1942 and was commonly known as the Ostmedaille (East Medal). Geographic limits were placed on its award of east of Ukraine and Ostland or in the Finnland area, east of the 1940 Russo/Finnish border. It was officially decommissioned by Oberkommando der Wehrmacht on 4 September 1944. The medal was wryly called the Frozen Meat Medal or the "Order of the Frozen Flesh" (German: Gefrierfleischorden) by Heer, Luftwaffe and Waffen-SS personnel to whom it was awarded. They qualified for the badge after a minimum of 14 days served in active combat; 30 days of flying personnel over enemy held land; 60 days of continuous service in a "combat zone"; being wounded or suffering a "frozen limb", severe enough to warrant the issue of a Wound Badge.
- Steel Infantry Belt Buckle. Reads GOTT MIT UNS (God is with us) includes leather belt tab. The buckle is dated 1940 and is maker coded.
- Embroidered Breast Eagle. Embroidered breast eagle, grey thread embroidered on green wool for Army uniforms.
- NCO Infantry Shoulder Board Silver surround on green wool for Army uniforms.
- Late war model 43 cap insignia Embroidered on dark background.
A wonderful totally genuine grouping perfect for the WW2 German collector.

There is consensus that the future of Uganda lies in education, yet very little is being done to fulfill the dream. Last week we talked about the negative impact of malnutrition on education. This time we are going to discuss the origin of modern education and how it has developed to the present.
Modern education was started by missionaries. Ugandans were provided with literary knowledge to be able to read the bible. In 1901, the Catholic chiefs in Buganda requested a revision in education to prepare children for a wider and changing world. Boarding schools were proposed. The first schools along these lines were started at Namilyango in 1901, Mengo High School in 1903, Gayaza High School in 1905, King’s College Budo in 1906 and Kisubi in 1906. They taught English grammar, reading, mathematics, geography, music and games. The majority of these schools were for sons and daughters of chiefs. Many children could not go to school because schools were not available or were expensive. Government financial support was very small.
However government provided schools for Asians, Goans and white children as well as Makerere to teach mechanics and carpentry and a few centers for training medical workers. Girls were initially educated so that sons of chiefs could have enlightened wives.
This week, we received one report and two speeches that were presented to parliament: report on the background to the budget for 2011/2012 fiscal year; Museveni’s address to parliament; and budget speech to parliament delivered by the minister of finance on behalf of the president. This is an annual exercise. The mandate, criteria used and data selected have distorted or omitted vital information.
1. The mandate of the background report to the budget is to highlight priorities of the coming national budget in the context of key economic trends and recent performance of government programs. The president’s mandate is to report what was done in the last twelve months and to appraise members of parliament of plans and strategies for the next twelve months. The mandate in the budget speech is to present to parliament estimates of revenue and expenditure for the financial year. Thus, in the three documents there is no specific mandate for reporting on the impact of government programs on ecological and human conditions such as soil erosion, poverty and malnutrition reduction. This is a serious shortcoming since development should be sustainable and human-centered.
Every organization, be it a family, village or nation must have a leader. A leaderless society cannot hope to survive for long. Even animals and poultry have leaders. You can have a good or a bad leader. I will talk about the qualities of a good leader.
1. A leader must be a servant and not master of the people. The leader must have a vision or ideas about how to lead the people to greater heights in economic development, health and happiness. In crafting ideas, the leader should carefully look at the past because it impacts the present. In doing so the leader must ensure that the past is still relevant to the present. If not the past or old ideas should be repackaged to incorporate new developments. | 2019-02-18T05:55:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-09/segments/1550247484689.3/warc/CC-MAIN-20190218053920-20190218075920-00234.warc.gz | en | 0.975918 | 622 | {

We cater for pupils from 3 to 11 years of age and have two Learning Centre classes which support pupils with special learning needs from our own catchment area and around Newport. There are approximately 340+ children who attend the school.
Our vision for all members of our school community:
‘Hand in Hand we Inspire and Celebrate Success’.
We will achieve this by striving to work in partnership with the whole school community. We will provide a learning environment that will inspire everyone to achieve more. Everyone has talent, we aim to nurture these talents and provide children with the skills to improve and achieve their best. Collectively we will enhance the opportunities and experiences of our pupils and celebrate all successes.
Children come to school happy and excited. We create opportunities for children that ignite their imagination and create intrigue. Children are encouraged to ask question of themselves – What have I done well? What do I want to become better at? How can I become better? How can I inspire others?
We look forwards to opportunities of working together with you to ensure Crindau Primary School continues to achieve the best outcomes for all our learners.
Please do not hesitate to contact me at any time over, issues, concerns, questions or to celebrate things you would like to share with us.

The IRTG Diversity together with the Centre canadien d’études allemandes et europénnes and the German Consulate General in Montréal presented, in collaboration with colleagues from the worldwide network of DAAD-sponsored Centers for German and European Studies, the exhibition Transformation EAST. Lives in Transition as a virtual tour followed by a panel discussion on Facebook Live on January 22, 2021 at 6pm MET (Strasbourg) 12pm EST (Montréal) 11am CET (Minnesota, Wisconsin) 9am PST (Victoria) This online event features a virtual visit of the exhibition guided by Laurence McFalls (Département de science politique, Université de Montréal) with commentary by
Alexander Reisenbichler Joint Initiative in German and European Studies (JIGES) Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy, University of Toronto
Matthias Rothe (German, Nordic, Slavic & Dutch) College of Liberal Arts, University of Minnesota
Jay Rowell Centre interdisciplinaire d’études et de recherches sur l’Allemagne (CIERA) CNRS, Université de Strasbourg
Beate Schmidtke (EUCA-Net: European Studies in Canada) Centre for Global Studies, University of Victoria
Marc Silberman (German, Nordic, and Slavic+) University of Wisconsin-Madison Transformation EAST.
Lives in Transition addresses the expectations, trust, and fears that East Germans associated with the reunification process through images and texts. It recalls the solidarity between Germans and their willingness to help each other as well as their tensions and misunderstandings. The exhibition tells of new beginnings and awakenings, as well as of the desire to reappraise the SED dictatorship. It also documents the despair that went hand in hand with economic collapse and the rise in unemployment, as well as the experiences of loss and fears that characterized the 1990s in former East Germany. Subjects explored include the simultaneous renovation and demolition of towns and cities in the east of Germany, the situation of women and families, and a youth culture torn between techno, punk, and right-wing extremism. Themes range from resentments to political violence, the question of who has the right to shape national identity, relations with Eastern neighbours, the development of the former East and its successes as well as new social divides that have arisen in recent years.

Like the RESF, the Imperial Griffin Space Navy regards the cruiser as the minimum sized hull for independent missions. Unlike the Royal Equestrian Space Forces, the IGSN doesn’t have a dedicated cruiser-sized marine transport hull, relying upon the carried numbers of IGSM troops aboard every Navy warship for ground operations and support of ground objectives. Ironically, a number of these ships have shown up in pirate hands, especially the lighter Gyrfalcon-class, with a black market for either the anti-ship missiles or replacing the missile launchers with Equestrian-style plasma torpedoes.
Also, like the RESF, the IGSN encountered “teething troubles” during the Horizon War and newer hulls are being built to fill the issues that were encountered. Older hulls are slowly being cycled out of the numbered fleets into the named fleets, and a few are showing up into “independent” service.
Gyrfalcon-class Light Cruiser
Massing 20,000 tons and 210 meters in length, the Gyrfalcon-class light cruiser is designed and built around filling most of the missions that light cruisers perform. Armed with two 8cm buster launchers in the bow, two 6cm buster launchers in the broadsides, and four launch cells for Viper-class anti-ship missiles, the Gyrfalcon is heavily armed for its weight. The major difficulties of the class is that when the Viper anti-ship missiles run out, the ship loses most of its long range punch against opponents. Armor and defense systems are of standard for the class of ship, as well as secondary systems for combat operations. The ship also carries a single company of Imperial Griffin Space Marines for ground operations.
The class saw service throughout the Horizon War, and many of the class’s flaws were brought to light during the war. A heavier light cruiser class, the Raven-class, began to be produced after the Horizon War, which addressed these concerns.
Raven-class Light Cruiser
Built after the end of the Horizon War, the Raven-class light cruiser masses at 23,000 tons and 210 meters in length. Armed more heavily than the Gyrfalcon-class, the ship carries two bow 8cm buster launchers, four 6cm buster launchers in the broadsides, and four launch cells for Viper-class anti-ship missiles. The major improvements of this class were the additional broadside buster launchers and slightly larger launcher capacity (four salvoes of six over three salvoes of six) for the Viper anti-ship missiles. While the class still has the issue of being less effective in combat once the missile cells are empty, the Raven is still a formidable foe in knife-fighting range with its buster launchers. Like the Gyrfalcon-class , the armor and defense systems are standard for the class. The ship carries a single company of Imperial Griffin Space Marines for ground operations and boarding missions.
As the older Gyrfalcon-class ships are bought by the military nobility and older hulls are retired, the Raven-class is replacing them in greater numbers. The Horizon War showed that there were never enough cruisers for the missions that were required, and the Griffin Moot is planning to be ready when they need these hulls.
Eagle-class Heavy Cruiser
At 26,000 tons and 220 meters long, the Eagle-class of heavy cruiser represents the platonic ideal of cruisers in the IGSN thoughts prior to the Horizon War. Armed with two bow 10cm buster launchers, six 6cm buster launchers in the broadsides, and four launch cells for Viper-class anti-ship missiles, the class is designed to win a cruiser duel by superior bow-to-bow firepower and longer engagement ranges for the 10cm buster launchers. The primary issue with this class of ship is that while it carries a fairly large number of missiles (the launch cells are built to handle six salvoes of six missiles each), once the missiles are gone the ship lacks a maneuver denial weapon against hostile ships. In addition, while the simple “slam” power of the 10cm buster launchers is significant, the advantages of two larger weapons over an array of smaller buster launchers wasn’t worth the mass and design penalties. The class mounts armor and defenses in proportion to the ship’s mass, and carries a reinforced company of Imperial Griffin Space Marines for ground operations.
The Eagle-class would begin to be phased out, to be replaced by the Talon-class heavy cruiser after the end of the Horizon War. The class is oddly popular with the military nobility, which likes the class for its heavy weapons fit.
Talon-class Heavy Cruiser
At 38,000 tons and 240 meters long, the Talon-class is the IGSN’s version of the RESF Big Macintosh class, and it fills the same mission role. Armed with four 8cm buster launchers in the bow, six 6 cm buster launchers in the broadsides, and six Viper-class anti-ship missile launch cells, the class is more balanced in terms of weapons than the older Eagle-class. Like the Eagle-class, the ship has difficulties when it runs out of missiles, but the larger number of launchers gives the ship more endurance. The class also mounts heavier point defense stations than other cruisers, which allows for engagement of seeking weapons at longer distances. Like the Eagle-class, the ship carries a reinforced IGSM company for ground operations.
The Talon-class is replacing the Eagle-class, and while the ship is popular within the IGSN, the military nobility has a dislike for the class due to its mimicry of the RESF and their doctrines. | 2023-03-23T12:08:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-14/segments/1679296945144.17/warc/CC-MAIN-20230323100829-20230323130829-00724.warc.gz | en | 0.957851 | 1,185 | {

Following the siege of Jerusalem, it is recorded by the Roman historian Tacitus that the Roman General Pompey entered into the Holy of Holies, the inner sanctuary of the Temple of God. Here’s what Tacitus records:
“As victor, he claimed the right to enter the Temple, and this incident gave rise to the common impression that it contained no representation of the deity – the sanctuary was empty, and the Holy of Holies untenanted.” Tacitus, Histories, Book 5:11-12
The Romans were astounded. Coming from a world that lived perpetually under the watchful eye of Mt. Olympus, a world of columns and pillars, temples and shrines, and statues and idols it was a staggering discovery that at the geographical center of Jewish religious experience to find nothing more than …
an empty room.
That’s because deep within the Jewish monotheistic innovation is a Creator God who cannot be explained, quantified, defined, or controlled. The Jews did not dare tend to the Holy of Holies, as if to try and manage or manipulate God. They didn’t even try to say the Name that God had given to Moses. Every time you read in your Bible the words “LORD,” in all caps, you are reading the alternate word that protected people from mispronouncing the Name. In fact, to create an image for God was among the most grievous sins for the people of Israel, as their history could readily attest. Any attempt to try and define God or picture God using the imagination of man always ends in making idols.
This is a God whose presence to Israel was a cloud of darkness with lightning coming from it.
This is the God who answers Moses’ ageless question “show me your glory,” by only letting him see the afterglow after he passes by for “no one can see my face and live.”
This is a God who speaks all at once with a Voice that sometimes rolls like thunder, and other times is like a whisper.
This is a God who is at the same time both relentless in pursuit of justice and tenderly generous in dispensing grace.
Zophar the Naamathite says to his friend Job “Can you fathom the mysteries of God? Can you probe the limits of the Almighty? They are higher than the heavens above–what can you do? They are deeper than the depths below — what can you know? Their measure is longer than the earth and wider than the sea.”
Paul writes to Timothy about a God who “is alone immortal and lives in unapproachable light.” To the Romans he quotes Job and asks “Oh the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable his judgments and his paths beyond tracing out! Who can know the mind of the Lord, or who has been his counselor?”
And yet deep within human nature is this desire to know the Unknowable that causes us to continue to create and build and plan and imagine ways to bring definition to the undefinable. This longing, A. W. Tozer says, “to know What cannot be known, to comprehend the Incomprehensible, to touch and taste the Unapproachable, arises from the image of God in the nature of man. Deep calleth unto deep, and though polluted and landlocked by the mighty disaster theologians call the Fall, the soul senses its origin and longs to return to its Source.”
Thomas Cahill asks it this way: “Can we open ourselves to the God who cannot be understood, who is beyond all our amulets and schemings, the God who rains on picnics, the God who allows human beings to be inhuman, who has sentenced us all to death? All the other gods are figments, sorry projections of human desires. Only this God is worth my life… For “there is no other.”
How can we satisfy this longing to know him who is unknown?

School Library Journal - School Library JournalGr 4-6-American history presented in fresh packages. Text divided into short sections, numerous photographs, and generous use of white space combine to make these serious subjects inviting. Good discusses the conditions of segregation that led to one of the most significant Supreme Court decisions of the 20th century. She explains that with the help of the NAACP and its Legal Defense Fund lawyers, five separate lawsuits were combined to form the landmark case. Landau smoothly describes Carson's life and accomplishments. Photographs show this unique woman, her family, and the covers of some of her publications. Although simply written, the book highlights the scientist's special talents and her contributions to international environmental awareness and policy during her life and even after her death. Petersen makes a complex tangle of secret activities clear enough for students to understand, spelling out who did what and why as well as who knew what was going on, with evidence worthy of a detective thriller. The text points to the knowledge and involvement of the United States government's highest officials in one of the biggest scandals in American history even though only some participants were prosecuted. An oddity in the further reading: the section "Books and Videos" includes only three book listings. Overall, this is a straightforward treatment of the subject.-Ann G.

In 1766, during the colonial protests of the Stamp Act, some residents of eastern North Carolina, including many colonial leaders, signed a pledge to refuse to pay the tax. Their pledge was published in Wilmington's newspaper the North-Carolina Gazette on February 26, 1766. Read the primary source transcription below. It includes annotations with historical commentary.

I have MARVELOUS news! I will be picking Angel this Sunday, a week early! I am so happy, I am about to come out of my skin! I will be in the area where her father lives this weekend, and asked him if I could take her home with me in exchange for an extra week in August. He agreed! For those of you who do not know Angel has been with her Father for the summer. It was in our court ruling that he get her for June and July with no visitation for me in between. Many people have asked how a judge could keep a 15 month old away from her Mother for that long. I cannot post what I think the reason is but it doesn’t matter it is what it is.
As for any parent, this time apart from my sweet baby has been very difficult for me. Fortunately, I have and AMAZING support system. I want to thank you all for your concern, prayers, uplifting messages, and words of encouragement. I have cards on my refrigerator from friends that have been praying for us during this time. I have to thank my Mom, sister, and friends for always listening to me when I was sad and felt like I was going to lose it. I especially want to thank my best friend Sophia who did everything short of stand on her head to make me laugh during my darkest hour. I also want to thank Angel’s father for agreeing to let me have her early. I’m not sure I could have stood another week with her absent. Since his agreement the laugh lines around my eyes are so deep no amount of Botox could fix them. (Maybe I should make a call about that ;). I have not stopped smiling and won’t stop.
The hardest part is going to be waiting, but I have been waiting for 41 days so what’s a few more. Luckily I have a busy schedule to keep me occupied. Sunday will be the longest day. I am like a child as Christmas approaches making large red X’s on my calendar counting down the days, and the days just got fewer. I could learn that I have won the lotto and couldn’t be happier than I am about seeing my precious Angel. My next post will be a story of our reunion so please stay tuned! | 2013-05-21T12:40:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368699977678/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516102617-00069-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.987931 | 475 | {

I’ve helped you before with a similar problem. Here are my questions:
- Are you running medm on the same computer as the IOC, or on a different computer?
- Is the iptables firewall turned off on both machines?
- In medm right click on the screen, select “PV Info” and left click on the white widget. It will tell you the name of the EPICS PV it is looking for.
- In the IOC type “dbl”. That will list the names of the records in that IOC. Make sure the name agrees with the one in medm.
- You previously had a problem with lots of medm messages “Message: Identical process variable names on multiple servers”
I told you:
That is because your computer must have 2 network cards. You need to define the following environment variables.
You need to replace 92.xxx.xxx.255 with the broadcast address of that network.
If medm and the IOC are running on the same machine, and you don't need to access any other EPICS PVs on the network for now, then you can use:
Did you follow my suggestions? What are those environment variables on both the IOC computer and the medm computer?

The Camplify team was successful in making the Jumpstart 2015 intake.
Justin Hales CEO of Campilfy came up with the idea based on his experiences on family holidays as a child.
“My family and I used to go caravaning with my extended family every holidays. On a return trip we were ran off the road and decided to sell our caravan. We never had that type of holiday again. In October my wife asked me to see about hiring a caravan for the Christmas holidays but I couldn’t find any out there. I thought that with all the caravans sitting in people’s front yards, surely I can come up with a solution that solves both problems,” Hales said.
Camplify allows owners to list their caravans or other recreational vehicles for hire. Just like Airbnb, owners can then chat with potential users and pick which they’re comfortable lending their vehicle to. The platform, which charges a booking fee, estimates that a caravan would be hired for an average of 6 weeks per year, giving owners a spare $3500.
“When we started all we had was an idea. Over the past three months Slingshot has assisted us in validating that idea and developing a full business around it,” Hales said.
“The biggest challenge is educating the market in this type of disruptive business. Once people understand the idea they love it.”
While a number of owners may be wary of handing over something as expensive as a caravan or RV to a stranger for weeks at a time, many others would surely jump at the chance to make some extra cash for something that goes unused for most of the year. This, and encouraging users to make connections and share tips and advice on their holidays, can help Camplify build a devoted community.
The NRMA connection will also help – with the Jumpstart program promising its startups access to the NRMA’s member base if the product fits, Hales believes Camplify is well-positioned to make the most of the connection.
“The NRMA and caravaning go together like footy and a meat pie. We are the perfect new business to introduce to NRMA members and offer them an additional service,” he said.
Since the program Camplify has made strong progress with a strong capital raising under their belt the Camplify team is continuing is strong test and learn ethic. The NRMA relationship has continued to be strong with mutual benefit for both parties. Camplify has now built a strong base in Australia and are looking to ramp up global expansion soon

“Camplify started as an idea and we knew we had to find the right people to work with. Slingshot for us was critical because they connected us with the right people from day one.
The program put us in contact with a corporate that we could work with. Partnering with a corporate is one way to make sure that you have a success right off the bat.
Without Slingshot there would be no Camplify”

Days after revealing the Monster 1200 R, Ducati has unveiled its latest steed: the 2016 Ducati Diavel Carbon. Muscular and with a strong presence, the Diavel dominates the road while remaining as lightweight and agile as other Ducati models.
The latest generation Testastretta 11° Dual Spark engine with ABS, Ducati Traction Control, Ducati Riding Modes and typical Ducati agility guarantee an exciting but safe riding experience. Its 162 hp and weight of just 205 kg (452 lb.), together with its exclusive design, make the Diavel a comfortable and sporty lifestyle motorcycle.
The new Asphalt Grey colour that characterises this new 2016 version elegantly balances with the visible carbon, the red stripes and the Dark Chrome paintwork on the frame. The exclusive forged wheels with exposed machined finish, enhance the muscular design of the bike. Other new features on the 2016 version of the Diavel Carbon include the exhaust manifolds with Zircotec ceramic coating. This type of coating renders the exhaust system more sophisticated and technological; the system is also equipped with brushed-effect stainless steel silencer covers. In addition, the bike boasts a totally redesigned seat with new and exclusive trim.
In addition to the new Carbon version, the Diavel will also be available in the total black Dark Stealth version, with matt black tank and black frame and wheels.

Lansing police detectives are handing their report on the investigation into a toddler's death over to the Ingham County prosecutor on Thursday. It will be up to Prosecuting Attorney Stuart Dunnings to decide if there is enough evidence to issue arrest warrants.
Two-year-old Brandon Kemp died April 30 after being taken to a local hospital. Police immediately called it suspicious, but haven't released what lead to the toddler's death.
The child was living his mother and her boyfriend in a Lansing apartment.
Lansing Police Information Officer Robert Merritt says the prosecutor could announce his decision as early as next week.

One of my colleagues told me that when she was living in Singapore and recently engaged she and her fiance decided to move to the UK.
She liked her job but went to resign given that she would be moving away. Her boss was a bit shocked and asked her if she would consider putting in for a transfer instead. She had not really thought about it before but she put in a request, which was accepted. After many years, she is still with the same company today.
In my own case, I also moved from the US to the UK for a relationship. While the relationship did not work out, it was good for my career. I’ve even become a British citizenship. Lots of people dream of living in another country even just for a little while,
but the realities of relocation can be difficult at times. You might need to learn a new language or start your career from scratch. It just might be worth it though. You’ll never know until you pack up and go.
Find out about visa requirements
If you want to move somewhere new, it is important to think about the legal requirements to get there. Find out what you would need to do. Whether you move through work, or on your own, knowing the law will help you a lot.
Can your work sponsor you?
If you work for a multinational organisation you might be able to apply for a work transfer. There are also some organisations, such as universities or government bodies for example, where there are exchange opportunities. Take one to two hours to research programmes.
Consider your education
Do you want to go back to school to improve your qualifications? Studying abroad is not just for young people. This could be a good time to get your MA or MBA in a new country. Just ensure that the degree you get is valid and recognised back at home.
Time for a sabbatical
Many companies offer the opportunity to take a sabbatical once you have reached a certain point in your career. This is time for you to enjoy time away and do something different. You can probably find details in your employee handbook, so grab a snack and start reading the fine print.
There are lots of ideas out there to get you where you want to go. It won’t happen overnight but by checking with work and looking into basic immigration requirements, you’ll be on your way.

July 19 (Bloomberg) -- The downing of a Malaysia Air jetliner has transformed Ukraine’s worst crisis in more than two decades of independence into a “world-wide problem,” Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk said.
“This is not a war between just Ukraine and Russia,” Yatsenyuk said late yesterday in an interview on Bloomberg Television. “This is a crime against humanity. We all have to realize that we have to stop this mess. After the tragedy, this is not a local conflict.”
Yatsenyuk, who took over as premier after a popular uprising ousted former President Viktor Yanukovych in February, said Russia must “withdraw agents” from Ukraine, condemn “terrorists” and restore control over the two nation’s common border to win a cease-fire after months of separatist violence.
The missile that downed flight MH17 on July 17, killing all 298 people on board, came from an area held by pro-Russian insurgents, President Barack Obama said yesterday. The fighters who’ve taken over swathes of Ukraine’s easternmost regions are battling government troops in a conflict that’s sparked tensions between Russia, the U.S and Europe not seen since the Cold War.
As of 7 a.m. today, 186 bodies were found, Ukrainian Defense Ministry spokesman Andriy Lysenko told journalists today.
Ukraine says Russia is supplying the rebels with weapons and equipment, accusations the Kremlin denies. Ukraine also blames the separatists for firing the missile at the Malaysian airliner, while Russia says it came from Ukraine’s army.
Separatists obtained “at least” three so-called Buk missile systems, said Vitaliy Nayda, an official at Ukraine’s state security service. The mobilized weapons launchers were transported back to Russia on July 18, Nayda said. The launcher that fired the rocket at the plane was operated by personnel with special training from Russia, he said.
“Terrorists, aided by Russia, are concealing evidence from the crash site,” Ukraine’s government said today in a statement on its website. “Terrorists removed 38 of the dead from the crash to Donetsk, where experts with clear Russian language said they would do autopsy themselves.”
Separatists did not provide full access to the site for OSCE inspectors.
“There is a lot of security here, with many heavily armed people,” OSCE spokesman Michael Bociurkiw said in a phone briefing from the site near Torez, about 30 kilometers (19 miles) from the Russian border. “We are being carefully watched.”
While Yatsenyuk praised U.S. efforts to sanction Russian companies and individuals and said more measures may be needed to stem Russia’s role in the crisis, he said Ukraine is open to international help in resolving the conflict.
“First we need to de-escalate the situation and to make real steps,” he said. “It is fair to say it is high time for Russia to stop support the terrorists.”
The plane was shot down hours after the U.S. and the European Union imposed further sanctions on Russia. The EU today published its legal decision on sanctions, which allows it to announce list of targeted entities by end-July.

I don’t know what any of these things are, but they sound wonderful:
1) Pretty sauce;
2) Honey Jolly Balls;
3) Lollipop juice.
Together, I think that they’d make an awesome meal. Hold the meatballs, though.

October 9, 2013, New York – Prisoners on California and Louisiana’s death row are being held in conditions that amount to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or torture under international law, according to a new report by the Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR) and the International Federation for Human Rights (FIDH).
Representatives from CCR and FIDH traveled to both states this spring to document living conditions on death row and interview prisoners, people who have been exonerated, advocates and legal counsel in capital cases. In both states, they found condemned prisoners were often being held in solitary confinement for decades, a practice that leads to severe psychological and physical harm. CCR and FIDH also noted stark racial and geographic disparities in death penalty charging and sentencing rates in both states, as well as a significant overrepresentation of minorities on death row. In California, the ratio of African Americans on death row is nearly six times their percentage in the population at large, and in Louisiana, the percentage of African Americans is double their representation in the population.
“The death penalty constitutes an inherent violation of the most fundamental of all human rights: the right to live,” said Vincent Warren, Executive Director of the Center for Constitutional Rights, who led the mission in Louisiana. “Not only are death row prisoners being denied this fundamental right in a process known to be rife with errors and discrimination, but in California and Louisiana, they are also being held, sometimes for decades on end, in conditions that clearly violate the United Nations Convention Against Torture, to which the United States is a party.”
In Louisiana’s Angola prison, the report describes how death row inmates remain in their cells for 23 hours each day without proper ventilation, even when the heat index inside the prison exceeds 110 degrees. Death row prisoners are not allowed to participate in recreational or rehabilitative programming. On the country’s most populous death row at San Quentin State Prison in California, the average length of time prisoners spend waiting for attorneys to be assigned and for courts to adjudicate their post-conviction claims is 17 and a half years. More death row inmates have committed suicide than have been executed by the state, and more than half of the 741 death row prisoners are currently without representation. And in both states, prisoners are often denied adequate medical and mental health care.
“Louisiana and California should urgently revise their policy and abolish the death penalty.” said Florence Bellivier, FIDH Representative on Death Penalty and President of the World Coalition Against the Death Penalty, who led the mission in California “In 2012, 21 countries carried out executions, including the United States. By abolishing capital punishment, the US would join agrowing national and worldwide movement. It's about the enhancement of human dignity and the progressive development of human rights.”
FIDH unites 178 national organizations, among which CCR, from 120 countries that share actions and strategies to promote the effective implementation of universal standards on the ground. Founded in 1922 by 15 organizations, FIDH acts in conjunction with member and partner organizations on protecting and supporting human rights defenders; promoting women’s and migrants’ rights; building and utilizing effective justice systems; strengthening respect for human rights in the context of globalization; supporting victims of serious violations in times of conflict or transition and bringing perpetrators to justice..

Aug. 02--Tommy & The High Pilots to return on Aug. 8
Tommy & The High Pilots will perform at the First Ward House at 9:30 p.m. Aug. 8. This show will mark the band's second performance in St. Joseph this year.
The four-piece from Santa Barbara, Calif., has accomplished quite a bit since 2009, playing multiple official showcases at the SXSW Music Festival and packing clubs and theaters across the country. The band has signed to Redbird Records -- the up-and-coming home to several alternative rock acts, including Ludo -- and has even scored a couple of music videos on MTV.
In March, Tommy & The High Pilots -- led by frontman Tommy Cantillon -- performed a set of its own original songs before launching into a segment of covers by Tom Petty, Bruce Springsteen, Talking Heads, The Beatles and more. It was a performance that St. Joe Live's own Shea Conner described as "the most entertaining live show I've ever seen in this town."
For more information about the event, call the First Ward House at 273-0039.
Parties on the Parkway continues on Thursday
The Parties on the Parkway series will conclude on Aug. 8, with a set of classic pop and oldies by local band Friends and Family. The event will be held on The Parkway across from Corby Pond from 5 to 8 p.m. The rain date is Aug. 15.
Food and beverages will be available for purchase. Attendees are asked to bring lawn chairs or blankets. No alcoholic beverages may be brought to the event. Proceeds will benefit the Friends of the Park.
Although Parties on the Parkway concludes in August this year, the annual Rockin' on the River event has been moved to September. Rockin' on the River will be held from 4 to 8 p.m. Sept. 7 near the Remington Nature Center and Riverwalk. The opening act will be bluegrass group Under the Big Oak Tree. The Disappointments, a band that plays rock and pop music from the 1980s through today, will be the main act. The event will include a motorcycle and auto Shine and Show, and will end with a fireworks display presented by Blue Cross Blue Shield of Kansas City.
For more information about the events, call the St. Joseph Metro Chamber at 232-4461.
Dsoedean and Scruffy featured in Care to Learn benefit
Alternative rock band Dsoedean and blues rock trio Scruffy and the Janitors will perform at a benefit concert for the Union Star, Mo., chapter of Care to Learn on Aug. 2. The concert will be held at 9:30 p.m. at the First Ward House.
Care to Learn -- a charitable organization based in the Ozarks that provides immediate funding for the emergent health, hunger and hygiene needs of school children -- started a new branch in the small DeKalb County town in April.
In addition to the entertainment, Care to Learn will be holding a raffle and silent auction for various prizes. The cover charge for the benefit show is $5. Visit www.caretolearnfund.org/unionstar/events for more information about the show or to donate directly to Care To Learn in Union Star.

During the latest episode of SEGA Central, one fan asked about the potential of Hatsune Miku: Project Diva X coming to Europe. For those of you who do not know, Project Diva X is currently only scheduled to be released in North America and Japan. According to Dan Sheridan, it is certainly a possibility.
“We’ve heard feedback from Miku fans since the announcement in America and we are looking into how we can bring Hatsune Miku: Project Diva X to Europe. Stay tuned for updates.”

I had the best of intentions. I set my goal 30 days before the San Luis Obispo Triathlon to run 30 Sprint Triathlons in 30 days to prepare myself for the event.
I did it twice.
If you read my previous post, you’ll understand why I only was able to do it twice. A great business opportunity got in the way of my traning. My two Sprint Triathlons were completed in the gym and I did both of them in 1 hour and 40 minutes approximately three weeks before the SLO Triathlon.
I was not in peak shape, and as far as I knew, my brother hadn’t done any training either. The San Luis Obispo Triathlon was going to be interesting . . . to say the least. | 2019-08-25T15:29:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-35/segments/1566027330750.45/warc/CC-MAIN-20190825151521-20190825173521-00185.warc.gz | en | 0.979791 | 163 | {

Is it Time to Repair or Replace Your Tires? You may be asking yourself, 'Why do I need to have my tires serviced?' At Meineke, we have a simple answer to this question - because your tires are some of the most important parts of your vehicle. When you service and maintain your tires regularly, you will get the most out of your vehicle's suspension system, handling, and overall performance. If you can't remember the last time you had your tires replaced or inspected, visit your local store today in Madison WI Meineke #355 for a full tire-fledged tire inspection.
The Importance of Functional Tires
Keeping your tires in optimal condition is important for a myriad of reasons. First of all, well-maintained tires handle better on slick and uneven surfaces. Their ability to handle these surfaces means that you and your passengers are less likely to be involved in a collision. Tires also have a significant impact on your suspension system, and if they are not rotated periodically, you may have difficulty steering your vehicle. Tires are frequently overlooked by drivers, but the better your tires perform, the better your entire vehicle will perform. Stop by our Madison, WI, Meineke #355 store for a comprehensive inspection today.
What Are The Signs Telling You Tire Repair Is Needed?
Uneven tread heights and issues with vehicle stability at high speeds could each be a sign that you're in need of a tire repair or tire change service. However, these signs are often easy to miss. Fortunately, you vehicle will often tell you when its tires need some TLC through your in-dash tire pressure light. If and when it turns on, you should immediately stop and see which of your tires is over or underinflated. If the sensor continues to illuminate even after adding air to the tire, taking it into Meineke #355 in Madison, WI may help you avoid a high tire replacement cost. Be sure to check and see if you also need a tire pressure sensor replacement while you're there.
Dangers of Driving With Worn-Down Tires
Driving with worn-down or damaged tires can be hazardous to you and your passengers. When tires lose a significant amount of tread, they do not handle as well during certain weather conditions. Rain, sleet, and snow can easily pose a threat to drivers with poorly maintained tires. These drivers may experience longer stopping distances and times, and they will be at a higher risk of hydroplaning during rainstorms. Even minor "slicks" can be risky if they occur during heavy traffic. To get the best tire repair service, take your car to a Madison WI Meineke #355 professional for an inspection.
Signs Your Tires Need To Be Replaced
The great thing about tires is that they usually show clear signs when they need to be replaced or serviced. Damaged side walls may be cracked and broken if the tire is old or failing. Tread on the tire may also seem noticeably low, further indicating the need for a tire repair service. In severe cases, your tires may be so damaged, you can feel or see the belts, or insides, of the tire. Wear on one side, or not enough wear along both sides of your tire also indicates a problem. If any of these happen to your vehicle, immediately contact Meineke #355 in Madison, WI to help you safely get back on the road.
Where Can I Find Affordable Repairs?
Because tires are your vehicle's only direct contact with the road, they should always be kept in the best possible condition. Tire rotation cost is a small price to pay to ensure that your vehicle is safe. Moreover, you can actually increase your fuel mileage by keeping your tires well repaired and maintained. Save money in the long run by taking your car or truck to Meineke #355 in Madison, WI for inspection, maintenance and repairs. We offer competitive pricing and tire rotation coupons to help you experience the best savings possible without compromising safety. | 2020-11-26T05:02:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-50/segments/1606141186414.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20201126030729-20201126060729-00615.warc.gz | en | 0.954581 | 822 | {

A Real Estate Trophy In Boston Is Sold
By CHARLES V. BAGLI
Published: December 30, 2010
The John Hancock Tower, a 62-story glass skyscraper in Boston's Back Bay, was one of the first real estate trophies to run into trouble when the speculative property boom abruptly ended two years ago.
With the market in free fall, Normandy Real Estate Partners and Five Mile Capital Partners bought the building at a foreclosure auction 18 months ago for $660.6 million, or about half the price in 2006.
At 4 p.m. on Wednesday, Normandy and Five Mile officially sold the Hancock Tower to Boston Properties for $930 million.
''It is an epic conclusion for an iconic landmark,'' said Finn Wentworth, a founding partner at Normandy, a real estate firm based in Morristown, N.J. ''It's due to a combination of real estate savvy and capital savvy.''
Wednesday's deal reflects the current optimism coursing through the industry. Commercial buildings have recovered some of their value, and investors are looking to buy solid properties with good cash flow. Commercial mortgage securities also look healthier - although many experts warn that billions of dollars of loans are coming due in the next couple of years.
The turnaround of the Hancock Tower began with a risky plan in 2008 to buy pieces of the mezzanine debt, a junior debt that is less likely to be repaid. The goal of Normandy and Five Mile was to take control through foreclosure if the owner defaulted on the loans.
At the time no one knew if it would work, or even how much the building was worth.
Now, the strategy provides a template for other commercial real estate deals.
In 2009, the owner, Broadway Partners, defaulted on $472.1 million in secondary loans, but a senior mortgage remained current. Normandy and Five Mile bought more than $200 million in mezzanine loans from Lehman Brothers, the Royal Bank of Scotland and Greenwich Capital for about 30 cents on the dollar.
At the foreclosure auction on March 31, 2009, Normandy and Five Mile were the sole bidders, offering $20 million and taking on the senior mortgage.
''It was a pretty bold move, a calculated risk,'' said Kevin O'Shea, the partner at Allen & Overy who represented Normandy. ''They were rewarded when property values stabilized and core properties like the Hancock regained their value.''
Not everyone who has pursued the strategy has been so lucky.
William A. Ackman of Pershing Square Capital Management and Michael L. Ashner of Winthrop Realty Trust failed to gain control of the sprawling Stuyvesant Town and Peter Cooper Village this year. The two partners bought a $300 million swath of secondary loans on the Manhattan complexes for $45 million.
But their plan was foiled when the courts ruled that Mr. Ackman had to pay off the $3 billion senior mortgage before he could foreclose. Today, the 11,200-apartment properties are controlled by CW Capital, which represents the senior lenders.
''I have learned from prior experience that sometimes the better part of valor in an investment situation is to move on,'' Mr. Ackman said of the deal in his third-quarter investment letter.
The Hancock Tower, a Boston landmark since it was built in 1975, has been a barometer for the real estate boom and bust.
In the months before the merger of John Hancock and Manulife Financial of Canada, the American insurer sold the Hancock Tower and three related properties in 2003 for $926.8 million to Alan M. Leventhal, the founder of Beacon Capital Partners.
In a transaction typical of that period, Mr. Leventhal put up $304 million, or roughly one-third of the purchase price, and took on a $623 million mortgage on the four properties. Beacon valued just the Hancock Tower and a nearby garage at about $639 million, according to real estate executives familiar with the deal.
Three years later, the commercial real estate market was roaring, fed by billions of dollars from foreign investors, pension funds and insurers and cheap debt from Wall Street banks and hedge funds. Mortgages, in turn, were packaged with other loans into a securities and sold to investors - freeing even more money to make deals.
With the money flowing, developers, private equity firms and hedge funds were able to buy properties with increasingly less cash. Many borrowed up to 80 percent of the purchase price, adding sizable second mortgages or mezzanine debt.
As the market neared its peak, Scott Lawlor, founder of Broadway Partners, a highflying money manager, paid $3.4 billion for the Hancock Tower and nine other properties in December 2006. The deal valued Hancock Tower and the garage at $1.35 billion, more than double the price in 2003, according to people familiar with the deal. But it also loaded the property with debt, with a mortgage and secondary loans that covered about 82 percent of the purchase price.
''This is a significant group of marquee properties in highly desirable markets that we are confident will deliver strong risk-adjusted returns to our investors,'' Mr. Lawlor said at the time.
By the time Lehman Brothers collapsed in September 2008, property values had plunged by a third in Boston and elsewhere, according to analysts. Corporate tenants, like the Hill Holiday ad agency at the Hancock Tower, balked at constantly rising rents and moved out.
Normandy and Five Mile took over in the spring of 2009. Along the way, they refurbished the lobby and created an underground parking garage for top executives, spending more than $40 million on improvements. They were also able to offer lower rents than previous owners. And they scored a major coup in May when Bain Capital signed a lease for seven floors, a tenant lured away from a building owned by Boston Properties.
''Besides navigating the debt stack,'' said Mr. Wentworth, ''we created value the old fashioned way.''
In October, the two firms put the Hancock Tower on the auction block. Boston Properties was the winner, agreeing to put up $289.5 million and assume the $640.5 million mortgage.
The deal closed on Wednesday.
This is a more complete version of the story than the one that appeared in print.

First of all, carefully examine the bud in the place where the petals come out from under the outer shell. If you see signs of pulling out the petals, it means only one thing - the flower has been subjected to the so-called “treatment”. In principle, the outer petals of y in many colors (for example, y roz and carnations) are subject to the aforementioned removal, but this must be done in your presence.
We take an ordinary stone from garden apricot. The larger the bone, the better. Abrikostochka looks like a fat flounder, right? On the one hand, it has a sharp comb, and the second side is smooth. Here we need it! More precisely, it is not needed, because it is precisely this that should be cut. Parallel to the longitudinal axis we grind the smooth side of the bone with a file, emery ... You can even easier - take the bone with two fingers, press it against the rough wall of the house and take a walk along it - a quarter of the bone was gone!
The enemy's weak spot, one might say, the “Achilles heel”, lies in its extreme gluttony. That is why persecution of mice takes the first place in the tactics and strategy of chalking out mice. Thus, the tactics developed, the decision is made - we will persecute! Attention! Pregnant women, children under 16 years old and Greenpeace activists are no longer recommended to read!
With the help of color, you can easily visually enlarge or reduce the size of the room. There is a simple rule: bright colors visually reduce space, and dark, on the contrary, increase. So, if you paint your apartment in purple, black, or white, an illusion of large space will be created.
And therefore we will devote ourselves to protective tricks and to safeguarding from thieves. And the first thing to think about is where to store valuables and money both in a poorly protected country house and in an abandoned city apartment. If you do not have a high-security safe or the notorious “Slavic cabinet” in your home, then the main thing you want to advise is not to listen to any advice.
Firstly, it should be borne in mind that swear words pronounced during a child automatically become allowed for him. Here, however, it is possible to argue that profanity can become known to a child without your participation. This is true, but it is important that he is aware that such expressions are not used in the family.
Suppose you set out to make something festive. And they decided to use for this purpose their old grandmother's recipe. What does kitchen wisdom tell us? And she says this. The unit of measure for the main component of a dish in an old recipe will always be illegible. Moreover, wisdom continues, if you specifically had to go for some product, then your guest will be allergic to it.
For this arrangement, highly experienced designers identify four main types of planning. To which are Y-shaped, L-shaped, two-row and, finally, single-row. It is understood that in each of the types of planning there are three hypothetical lines connecting the three centers of kitchen activity. To whom include sink, stove and refrigerator.
On this account, image makers and stylists hold the following point of view. First, they say, your wardrobe should include a gray suit. We need this costume to put it on when we appear in public places, for an important meeting, to speak on television and other performances.
One of the most popular telephone sales, especially in small cities of our homeland, has become such. Feeling a passionate desire to ever telephonize, we suddenly come across a clipping from a newspaper, which reads unequivocally “We are conducting a one-way telephone communication. Quality is guaranteed!
One of the no less attractive options than walking around the bazaar may be a romantic trip out of town. The first step in this case would be to obtain a special license to shoot two trees no more than five meters long. Otherwise, it will be necessary not only to hide the Christmas tree, but also to take the completely non-New Year flour, associated with the problem of conspiracy in the rear of the enemy.
This fraudulent trick is in use in new, newly settled houses, where residents still know each other badly. This procedure begins with the fact that in your apartment, usually in the middle of the day the bell rings. You open the door and find that there is a “neighbor” on the threshold of your apartment. Why did you decide that this is a neighbor, you ask yourself later?
First, it is necessary to pay attention to what kind of clean, shiny, and generally in all respects magnificent hair began after washing the head (legs after bathing, hands after washing uh-uh ... hands). Many experienced mothers claim that it is good to first bathe the child’s favorite doll, wash her head with shampoo, or wash her dress.
The first trick lies in the fact that if there are stains on the wallpaper, you can try to smear them with a dental powder soaked in gasoline, and when the powder dries out, brush it off the wall. Having done this operation several times, you will be able to come to the unexpected conclusion that there is no need to cover the room with new wallpaper.
First of all, I must say that it is necessary to get drunk, strictly following the above recipes. It is widely known that improper sober can lead to a binge, so today about soother without alcohol, and therefore - completely harmless. We will focus on the recipes of the ancient world. Namely - the ancient Roman and ancient Greek methods of this important occupation.
So, if the sink sink is clogged, and in your household there are no wonderful sanitary gels or this rubber piece that is usually cleaned (by the way, does anyone remember what it is called?), Then an empty cardboard bag can help you. milk Insert its cut angle into the drain hole and repeatedly press vigorously on top.
One year - print wedding. An essential addition to the main gift should be a calico handkerchief, and even better - a couple of these handkerchiefs. Very nice and symbolic little thing! In addition, on this day, it is customary to give household items: tablecloths, napkins, bed linen, curtains for windows.
Although, perhaps, there is no question as such. Of course - do not wash! After all, there is a dishwasher for this. And in order to choose the right unit, you need to answer yourself just a few questions. So, the first question: the capacity of the dishwasher. Do you have a small family and there are no mountains of dirty dishes?
For example, you are lying on the couch and think (by the way, a useful activity is akin to meditation), as if without much difficulty to stroke a crumpled tie. It is even simple, for this is the most useful "know-how". We take a crumpled tie and several times vigorously carry them back and forth along a red-hot light bulb. Until the skill is acquired, it is important to carry out the other side so that if the operation was not entirely successful and there are spots on the tie, the wardrobe item would not be hopelessly spoiled.
The alarm clock itself is a great thing, although it is harmful in the morning. However, there are so many tempting useful trifles in it that it is fit to gut not only the broken, but also working well. Let's wait, however: modern alarm clocks quickly fail. After a couple of repairs (especially - made at home), they are no longer subject to recovery. | 2020-02-24T08:59:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-10/segments/1581875145910.53/warc/CC-MAIN-20200224071540-20200224101540-00042.warc.gz | en | 0.960737 | 1,616 | {

Pirelli joins potential F1 tyre suppliers
Pirelli's has approved a feasibility study into returning to the F1 arena it left at the end of the 1991 season with 42 victories to its name.
FIA president Jean Todt said in Bahrain that there was more than one option available when it came to replacing Bridgestone, which is pulling out of F1 at the end of this season after being sole tyre supplier for four seasons.
Other companies to have tabled an interest include Michelin, which withdrew from F1 at the end of 2006 and did not tender for the sole supply deal, saying that it was only interested in F1 if there was competition. The French company has now signalled interest in a return but is understood to want better commercial terms than previously and a rule structure allowing it to demonstrate tyre efficiency.
Avon Cooper has also pitched for the F1 business, while Pirelli, which won the first GP of the modern world championship at Silverstone in May 1950, is evaluating a return for the first time since 1991, when it scored the last of its victories in Canada. Nelson Piquet famously took full advantage in his Benetton after Nigel Mansell lost his engine when the software was believed to have stopped the car on the final lap as Mansell let the revs drop while waving to the crowd!
Goodyear is the most successful F1 tyre company ever, with 368 wins; with Bridgestone on 125; Michelin, 102; Dunlop, 83; Firestone, 49; Pirelli, 42; Continental & Englebert 10.

The notable five-year contraction in healthcare spending growth comes to an end next year, but not in a way that marks a dramatic reversal—at least, not yet. The Medical Cost Trend: Behind the Numbers 2015 report released today from PwC’s Health Research Institute (HRI) projects a medical cost trend of 6.8% for 2015, up only slightly from the 6.5% projected for this year. Our analysis, which measures growth in the employer-based market, incorporates input from health policy analysts, industry executives, earnings statements, government data and actuaries from more than a dozen insurance companies, whose companies cover a combined 93 million members.
Much of this is simple and not surprising based on historical analysis: the healthcare “economic recovery” lags behind the broader economy. So we are now beginning to see the recovery—with more employed workers and more disposable income—loosen up spending on things such as doctor visits and diagnostic tests. Many Americans, after postponing care, are once again spending on their health needs.
Some underlying nuances in the health numbers are more complex and uncertain: greater total spending on health services is not the same as higher costs per person. Even as private health spending ticks upward, evidence reveals that structural changes over the past few years have produced greater efficiency in the $2.8 trillion US health industry. As with any evolution, there is uncertainty. Some of our big healthcare investments today are a financial gamble. Most notably, the burst of high-cost “specialty” drugs could result in lower treatment costs on chronic conditions in future years or signal the start of painfully expensive pharmaceutical bills.
The most durable long-term factors holding down costs are those that instill a new philosophy about care delivery. For instance, health systems and hospitals striving for “systemness,” in which care teams seek to achieve more by working together. They are focusing specifically in two areas: streamlining administrative work and consolidating and standardizing clinical programs, which can provide higher quality care through consistent processes and outcomes.
With about 60% of hospital budgets spent on labor, personnel costs are a top priority. Since 2012, hospital employment growth has slowed and is projected to continue on this trend—evidence that providers are achieving improved efficiency with fewer resources.

Reducing gun violence by increasing access to mental health services may cost billions of taxpayer dollars and give drugmakers that help treat mental illness a revenue windfall. But will it reduce gun violence? The answer is uncertain.
In the wake of the tragic shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School, there have been repeated calls to increase access to mental health services as a way to reduce gun violence in the U.S., even though the evidence is weak at best that those services actually reduce gun violence.
Absent from these calls to action is any sense of how much that policy would cost. Many argue that any cost is worthwhile if it prevents just one needless death due to gun violence. But we live in austere fiscal times and knowing the price tag before taking action makes sense (click on the image above to enlarge).
A just-published Bloomberg Government Study estimates that the potential impact on the federal deficit due to increased spending on mental health services could exceed $260 billion from 2014 to 2021.

A recent spate of commentaries on the continuing health spending moderation raise an important policy question: If the cost curve is well and truly bent, why are we investing so much of our policy energy on bending it further, when the more pressing problem is the declining percentage of Americans that can afford our health system’s astronomical costs?
Health spending the past two reported years (2009 and 2010) have grown in the high 3 percent range, the lowest growth rates since Dwight Eisenhower’s last year in office (1960), five years before Medicare. Medicare’s actuaries have pointed to the recession as a root cause. Yet even Medicare spending growth has subsided to about 5 percent in 2010, a development hard to attribute to recession since so few Medicare patients have first-dollar cost exposure. This analyst’s extensive industry contacts suggest no spending rebound in 2011 and 2012, despite an aging population and fee-for-service’s pernicious volume-increasing incentives in full force.
Pharmaceutical spending. The two most explosive cost problems of the 1980’s and 1990’s, pharmaceutical spending and imaging — which together now represent about 20 percent of total health spending — are now seeing low single digit growth, and seem likely to remain quiescent. In the pharma case, the main contributor is the ruinous outflow of branded drugs from patent protection, and the failure to replace them with new protected drugs. This outflow continues unabated until 2018. Branded drug prescriptions are shrinking by 5 percent per year, and the only things preventing pharmaceutical sales from actually declining are brand price increases and growth in generics, which now represent almost 80 percent of prescriptions, according to IMS Health. While specialty drugs (biologicals) remain a concern, those too begin losing patent protection in earnest in the next few years.

Browse these HVAC services with great ratings from Thumbtack customers in Milledgeville.
Came out same day. The problem wound up being a super easy fix, so it took no time at all. Seems like a super nice guy. FYI, he does other things too, like plumbing and AC! Will keep him in mind if anything else comes up.
I came home from work to the misery of a hot house and a broken A/C unit. I reached out for help and Shelton responded immediately. I was afraid I would be forced to deal with the heat throughout the night due the issue being identified late in the day, but Shelton came out after the sun had gone down with his headlamp ready to work. He correctly identified the issue from my Thumbtack description and had it fixed in less than 10 minutes. He also identified another fault with my unit, which sure enough made itself known the very next day. I called and he came back and repaired that swiftly, as well -- all of this service delivered at a very reasonable price with a friendly, Kentucky accent. I would highly recommend Shelton for any HVAC issues.
These guys did a great job for me! They were able to come right out and preform the service that I needed. Great customer service. I would highly recommend this company to anyone needing HVAC service.

My experience with Vincent Stanley is EXCELLENT! He first came out to my apartment in August 2014 to fix my air conditioning major leak problem. In the 3 years living in my apartment; he was the only one who successfully fixed the problem. He was confident that he'd be able to fix it and that I would not continue to have the yearly floods. He was right about that and I've been very happy about that ever since. More recently, in October 2014, Vincent came out to fix electrical problems in my kitchen. Again, just like before, he had such a positive attitude with his goal of doing the best job possible and striving for excellence. I'm always blessed when my Properrty Manager calls for Vincent to come out for various repairs!!!

The SDA is currently seeking to secure significant improvements for part time workers in the Fast Food Industry Award (FFIA) in a case before the FWC as part of its 4-yearly review of modern awards.
SDA National Secretary Gerard Dwyer said that the changes to the part time clause in the Award will promote part time employment in an industry which is characterised by casual and insecure work, providing greater security of hours and a guaranteed minimum of at least 8 hours per week – a significant improvement on the current zero hour entitlement.
“Like many Australians, fast food workers are under increasing pressure. Historically low wage growth, cuts to penalty rates and casualisation have made it extraordinarily difficult to make ends meet.”
“For part time workers, those difficulties are multiplied by the nature of insecure work. Underemployment and the irregularity of hours creates enormous stress for part time workers in the fast food industry.”
“The improvements we’ve secured in the Award will not only provide a guaranteed minimum of 8 hours per week with the option of doing more, they also deliver improved rostering arrangements that will provide greater security and control for part time workers over their rostered hours each week.”
“This is particularly important for part time fast food workers who are parents, carers and students juggling commitments and responsibilities outside of work hours.”
The improved rostering provisions will obligate employers to prepare and make available a roster which sets out the name of each employee, the days of the week to be worked, and their start and finishing times.
The roster may only be changed either by mutual consent at any time or by amendment of the roster on seven days’ notice and can only be changed to hours that are within the employees’ availability.
“Consistent with the ACTU’s drive for more secure and meaningful employment, we’re pleased these improvements to the Award will encourage increased permanency and provide a guaranteed minimum income for Australia’s part time fast food workers.”
This matter is now currently before the FWC who will determine the matter in due course.
The full list of improvements sought to the Fast Food Industry Award for part time workers includes:
- Guaranteed minimum of at least 8 hours per week (currently no minimum applies)
- Access to additional hours
- Can only be rostered within the availability provided by the worker at the point of engagement
- Ability to change availability with 14 days’ notice if an employee’s circumstances have changed
- Ability to ask for an increase in the number of guaranteed minimum hours if an employee has regularly worked in excess of the guaranteed minimum hours over a 12-month period
- Provision ensuring any existing rostering arrangements continue unless a new agreement is reached regarding hours
- Agreed additional hours will be paid at ordinary rates and accrue personal leave and annual leave
- Any additional hours worked which are not agreed continue to be paid at overtime rates.
