It’s the quintessential American dream – a Fifth Avenue apartment; an enviable location on the museum mile; a bachelor from a prestigious American family as an owner. Plus, the fact is that the apartment in question is linked to one of the city’s most legendary figures.
Indeed, there are few New York buildings as mysterious as 907 Fifth Avenue – the one-time home of copper heiress Huguette Clark. Although the reclusive Clark didn’t live in the three apartments she owned in the building for the last 20 years of her life, (choosing instead to live out the rest of her days in a hospital room), the residence has endured as an intriguing conundrum of the Upper East Side.
Such an infamous history called for a certain standard in its makeover. A soothing and unique treatment, conducted at the hands of Jean-Louis Deniot, fit the proverbial bill.
The award-winning 1916 edifice – an Italian Renaissance palazzo-style design conceived by J.E.R Carpenter for industrialist James A. Burden – was the first apartment block to replace one of the many private mansions, which originally lined the upper-class street before being converted into a co-op in 1955.
Jean-Louis prescribed a “French [base] with an elegant American feel” throughout the apartment and “created the interior details from A to Z.” That A to Z runs the gamut from custom flooring and millwork (including geometric coffering) throughout to en-suite marble-clad baths and 21st century moulding profiles. The skillful interior architecture has been furnished with Jean-Louis’ perfected trifecta of custom, ready-made and vintage pieces, sourced from around Europe and America.
In the hallway, the blending of old and new begins with the 18th century sharing the space with the 20th century and beyond. A pair of 1950s Italian armchairs sit elegantly at the master bedroom’s entry – a double ebony stained, bronze and antique mirror doors flanked by signature Jean-Louis additions, a pair of Herve Van Der Straeten sconces. A special Louis XVI carved, gilt wood lantern hangs directly above a circular marble and metal hallway table, situated in the centre of the geometric floor – a concentric design of blue Savoy and white Tassos marbles designed by Jean-Louis. Modern-day Fifth Avenue with a European flair is the result.
A proponent and master of Neoclassicism, Jean-Louis employs an unexpected modern take on the influential style with a palette of varying greys and neutrals in the living room where the look is anything but fanciful.
“I love playing with layers of variations of finishes and contrasting techniques”, he explains, “All while respecting the layout’s flow and feel. One room – specific finishes, specific story. I like to create an entire vocabulary that gets developed in various ways throughout the space.” The vocabulary of this home’s living room is one of subtle contrasts and an adept understanding of space.
Elegant and offering a surprisingly modern aesthetic, a classic daybed by Jacques Adnet divides the room in two – its other half successfully maintaining a personality all of its own, simply united by the full-scale custom rug. Key pieces include two oversized Harry Balmer ‘Ribbon’ lamps, which stand, like sentinels, aside a Mid-century sofa in a silver-grey Pierre Frey fabric, a Studio Van Den Akker coffee table and an updated bergère.
“The great potential of the space was its ceiling height”, remembers Jean-Louis, “I designed all interior details to show off the great volumes we created.” A conscious recognition of the room’s vertical and horizontal planes are echoed throughout the space, from the coffered ceiling to motifs and patterns and a careful combination of long and low with tall and reaching.
Fresh pale grey continues into the master bedroom which incorporate a slightly more feminine aesthetic with a patina painted fauteuil and a Rachel Hovnanian narcissus giclee print on canvas, ‘Santori I’ – another loan from the living room which also showcases a steel and cast metal piece from the artist entitled ‘Motherboard’.
“I wanted to do a cool, chic Fifth Avenue apartment,” Jean-Louis explains of the project, “For me, New York style is the perfect balance between classic American Chic and European elegance and history.” It seems that whether one side of the pond or the other, Jean-Louis’ touch is welcome. | 2019-04-20T05:14:33 | https://www.luxdeco.com/blogs/styleguide/jean-louis-deniot-interiors-fifth-avenue-apartment-project |
200 Proof Life is a weekly interview podcast, hosted by Keith Speers & Mimi Webb, where they tell extraordinary stories about unstoppable people - both famous and those who should be - creating the world they want to live in.
Aslyne Rodriguez is the Co-Founder and CEO of EmpowerBus, an organization that strengthens the roads to social mobility by providing dignified, reliable, and on-time transportation to and from employment, education, and healthcare opportunities. They use clustering and strategic partnerships to address the transportation barriers, such as extremely long commute times, that are facing under-resourced communities in Ohio.
We sat down in the 200 Proof Life studio to chat with Aslyne about EmpowerBus and her journey as an entrepreneur that led her to this point, and we were really impressed with her approach to living and impacting the communities of which she’s a part. You’re going to love her sense of humor and sense of purpose, and her approach to serving her country really resonated with us. She’s a game changer for sure! | 2019-04-20T14:39:25 | https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/200-proof-life |
There is a lot of tools out there to do a lot of things with, like sniffing, scanning, and even backdoors. However, I have a really hard time trusting these tools. When I install them at home and target my computers, how can I trust that the tools I'm using do not harm me?
Example 1 - Metasploit, Meterpreter especially: I use Metasploit. With a trusted exploit, that gives me a Meterpreter connection. How can I trust, that Meterpreter in fact does what it claims to do, and does not open backdoors here and there? I consider this tool an industry standard for its purpose in a sense, but still, do you trust it?
Example 2 - Google: Ratproxy is a product of Google, and that sounds trustworthy, right? It's also open source. But it's just Google that develops it? It would probably take me a year to read and understand all the code. How can this be trusted? Do you trust it?
Example 4 - Burp Suite: Burp Suite really seems to be the #1 "HTTP-proxy and more" tool to use, but it's proprietary and not open source. It's written in Java, but probably properly obfuscated, so that we can't know exactly what it does. Trustworthy? "Of course, use it! All my friends use it..."!?
Example 5 - Bundles: There are some security tool bundles out there. Specifically, I would like to discuss Kali/Backtrack. It comes with a lot of tools. Do you trust their pick of tools? Do you trust the company itself? Of course, with that many tools, they can't know everything about every tool, but they are smart guys, I guess, so the question is, if they added just the tools they trust themselves, or they just added everything that their users would like to see in the bundle/distribution?
Please discuss around those examples and maybe come up your own examples. What tools should we trust? Why? What is your definition of trust? Mine is, that I would run it on my own desktop computer (not in VM).
"I'll make this tool to make my life as a security researcher and pen-tester easier, and if it's good, I'll share it with the community."
The simple answer is you can't truly guarantee anything unless you review the code, the compiler, the build, the OS of the system you are running it on, the design and implementation of the processor, the power being provided to your computer, etc, etc.
Security isn't about ensuring things 100%, it's about risk management. You make educated decisions on how far to trust something based on how you decide to measure risk. Do you trust the CA providing the certificate to the site you are downloading, if so, do you trust the company they issued it to, do you trust what they put up, do you trust other people who have used it without issue? You have to make a judgement call as to what you think the risk is.
Then, after you know what you think the risk is, you decide on measures to mitigate the risk. You can install it in a VM with a VLAN isolating it from your network or even put it on air gapped, dedicated, "dirty" hardware that remains physically separated from your protected systems. Or, if you are more trusting, you can simply virus scan it, read some reviews and move on. It's really all up to you as to how much risk is acceptable and how much effort you want to put in to mitigating that risk.
Practically speaking, read reviews, ask about tools on popular security sites, find out what people's experiences are and if it seems to be reputable. If so, it's probably ok, but it's still ultimately your judgement of acceptable risk.
You cannot trust any software... but you have to start somewhere. Usually, you use reputation; see this answer for an explanatory analogy on the subject.
And then there can be trust transfers: that's what occurs with operating system. You select an OS (possibly, it comes pre-installed with your computer, or you buy an installation DVD, or whatever). Then, this OS will install upgrade tools which can install other packages, provided that a digital signature on them is verified. This is typical of Linux system: you install a base Ubuntu or RedHat or Debian system, from an installation medium, and then you have access to dozens of gigabytes of extra packages, which you can obtain through a network. The package installation system checks that the package is "genuine" by virtue of being signed by an allowed maintainer. Basically, you have transferred your trust into the hands of the people who maintain the OS distribution, i.e. who prepare the software packages and decide which are trustworthy enough.
What is amazing is that this system tends to work. Incidents are rare. One high-profile case dates from 2008: an intruder hijacked some systems at RedHat and could sign some fake OpenSSH packages with backdoors included.
Running all tools within some layers of virtual machines to try to isolate them and monitor them and detect fool play.
Trusting the tools blindly and walk along life in a state of blissful gullibility.
Switching careers, leaving IT security altogether, and breeding goats instead.

In case you missed it Terrence J got into a fight with Rocsi on the air and she walked off the show. There were rumors that Rocsi was fired or suspended after the on air quarrel.Rocsi appeared on 106 & Park with Mario who read a letter of apology on air from Terrence J who also gave Rocsi a bouquet of flowers. There were rumors that this might have been a publicity stunt for ratings. You won't find clip of the fight video online because all videos were removed. Watch the Terrence J apology video below. Shout out to Necole Bitchie.
You and I have been together for two years and in that time we’ve become family. But sometimes we foolishly take family for granted and sometimes with family we take it too far. So let me say my dearest Rocsilla, I took it too far that Friday with my comment and I hope that you will forgive me. You are one of the most beautiful, talented and ambitious people I know and even the idea that I may have hurt you with my teasing has made me sad. From the bottom of my heart I hope that I will never ever ever hurt you again. It’s just not the same. A strong man needs a strong woman, so Rocsi please continue to be my rock. I have to take some time off from the show now but I hope to see you soon.
There was some on camera set drama on Friday's episode of 106 & Park. BET hosts Rocsi & Terrence J got into an on air fight on Friday's show which ended with Rocsi getting upset and walking off the show. Terrence was forced to pull a studio audience member to close out the show. Watch the video before it disappears. UPDATE: ROSCI WAS A NO SHOW FOR THE TUESDAY TAPING OF THE SHOW AND MAY HAVE BEEN SUSPENDED.
Rocsi has been put on indefinite leave for her stunt last week. If you didn’t know she walked off the stage on Friday after Terrence continued to harass her. She will not be making any appearances on the stage for the next 2-3 Weeks. And rumor is around here that they plan on replacing both of them by the end of the year..
Click on the image to watch singer Keri Hilson's co-hosting appearance on 106 & Park. Keri Hilson appeared on the show with her mentor Timbaland. She debuted her new music video "Energy" and discussed her appearance on the cover of Rap-Up with Teyana Taylor and Solange. Don't ask us about the smoking jacket outfit that Terrence J is wearing. Is he trying to look like Hugh Hefner while he's sitting on the 106 & Park couch?
Where’s Rocsi? Today was supposed to be the day that Terrence was rumored to be apologizing to Rocsi for his over the top jabs on live television Friday , however when the cameras turned to the 106& Park stage today Rocsi was no where to be found. Keri Hilson was standing in her place.
Has good ole Roc's gotten herself fired? Did she get suspended? Or did she just take the day off?
Rocsi from BET 106 & Park sent a shout out to 50 Cent during his album battle with rapper Kanye West. Kanye West won the rap battle state side and outsold 50 Cent. Watch Rocsi tell everyone not to buy 50 Cent's album Curtis because it was garbage. Notice that the show host didn't co-sign on Rosci's statement because she didn't want to get shot up. Dang!

Despite having a good few days off work to relax (and eat), I still didn't feel ready for this challenge of the Bake Off Along. I feel like I've said this every week, but this week was even harder than the last!
With a choice between cream horns, mokatines and something I can't even remember the name of. I went for the one that didn't involve pastry. Mokatines. I'd like to start by asking, has anyone ever seen or heard of these before? Mary and Paul have been really sneaky this year in finding recipes that no one's ever seen before. Little secret squirrels.
I turned these mokatines into chokatines, using Mary's recipe here for the genoise sponge and making a regular chocolate frosting to finish. I brushed the sponges with apricot jam like in Mary's recipe and tried to coat with chopped hazelnuts but they didn't really stick. So I figured you can't have too much chocolate frosting, right?
genoise sponge is naturally airy and doesn't use any raising agent. At first, it looks like the quantities of ingredients are very small, but by whisking up the eggs and sugar you'll create the volume needed for a good rise.
by whisking eggs and sugar together the egg proteins are broken down to allow the egg to whip up larger and quicker.
the mix should double in size and hold a thick ribbon (the point at which point a trail of batter from the whisk will sit on top of the mix for 3 seconds).
there are a few methods to whisk up the mix. Either cold, over a bain marie or half and half. Applying a little heat will help the mix to whip up quicker, but working cold works just as well, just takes a little longer.
use superfine sugar like caster sugar to ensure a really light, super fine crumb in your bake as it will dissolve evenly.
when folding in the flour, do not over mix as this will only knock out any of the air you've worked so hard to get.
when folding in the melted butter, ensure its almost fully cooled. Pour around the side of the bowl also otherwise any of the remaining heat will cause the mix to collapse.
I would have included a photo of the inside to show even layers, but they collapsed. Still tasted great, my frosting just wasn't stiff enough to hold it all together.
This was the perfect post to read after your Matilda one :D I totes expected a Bogtrotter pic of you here with chocolate frosting all over your face.
This is every reason why I love you, coated in chocolate frosting.

Forget the tricks this April Fool’s Day, navigating the sea of blue can be tricky enough. So, we’re taking it upon ourselves to tell you the truth about our jeans.
We caught up with denim expert, Lynn, to help us debunk the 5 most common denim myths.
Let’s get this out of the way first, do we have expensive jeans? Yes. Do we have quality jeans? Absolutely. And we also have jeans that start at just $39.95 for men and $49.95 women that are good quality too.
Not only do we have jeans at every price point, we have jeans for every body (see myth #2).
We kinda like this myth, we take it has a challenge to find not only your size, but in a style you love.
For women we have waist sizes 22-38 and inseam options 24″-37″.
Men have even more sizing options with a Big & Tall selection – waist sizes 23-50 and 28″-38″ inseams.
Need help finding your fit? We’ve got people for that. Just call your local Buckle to schedule a free personal styling session.
Don’t get us wrong, there’s a time and place for your favorite rigid Levi’s, but not all jeans are made equally.
There is so much more to jeans with added technology like COOLMAX®, REPREVE®, Performance Stretch, functional fabrics, sculpting and shaping pocketing, and more!
There’s really no right or wrong answer here. We suggest washing your jeans at least once a month to get rid of bacteria and to get those blues back into shape.
While Justin and Britney may have ruined double denim for us in the 2000s, we think it’s time to forgive them.
Because the truth is, we love double-denim looks and whoever said you shouldn’t wear denim on denim just needs to know a thing or two.

MADISON, Wis. – There is no quit in this Badgers’ team. Trailing 16-9 with two matches to go, No. 14 Wisconsin (8-5, 3-5 B1G) gritted out a decision and a major decision to tie the match against No. 22 Illinois (2-7, 1-6 B1G). The fate of the dual went to tiebreaker criteria, where the Badgers won on total match points by the thinnest of margins, outscoring Illinois over the course of the dual 68-66, giving Wisconsin the tiebreaker point and the victory.
The biggest match of the day was at 141 pounds between junior No. 8 Tristan Moran of Wisconsin and No. 4 Mike Carr of Illinois, but there wasn’t a lot of fireworks in the match. Both wrestlers earned an escape to tie it at one, but there were no offensive points recorded. Carr took a 2-1 victory after a stalling penalty was assessed to Moran in the third.
After recording his first dual win last weekend, UW freshman Garrett Model was put to the test against No. 9 Eric Barone of Illinois at 157 pounds. Barone was in control early, scoring three takedowns in the first period and two more in the second, but Model wouldn’t quit. He responded with three takedowns of his own in the third and if the match had gone any longer he might have come out on top, but Model ultimately dropped a 15-13 decision to No. 9 Barone.
Illinois broke the decision-streak in the next match. Wisconsin freshman Anders Lantz wrestled in his first dual and suffered a 12-3 major decision loss to Carver James that put the Illini up 13-9. The lead was extended for Illinois in the 184-pound match, as No. 5 Emery Parker defeated Wisconsin’s junior Mason Reinhardt by a 10-4 decision, making the team score 16-9 in favor of Illinois.
Wisconsin needed seven team points from the final two matches to at least tie the dual, and seven points was what they got. Sophomore Beau Breske, fresh off his first dual win for Wisconsin as well, was in a stalemate with Illinois’ Andre Lee all match, taking a 1-1 score into overtime. The match went into the second sudden-victory period, where Breske shook off Lee and got a takedown to win the match.
Wisconsin came into the final match trailing by four, needing at least a major decision freshman heavyweight Trent Hillger, and he delivered. Hillger racked up the points against Illinois’ Deuce Rachal, scoring six takedowns in the match and earning a 16-5 major decision. Hillger’s result eventually gave Wisconsin the win, as his 11-point win was critical in the two-point margin in total match points that propelled the Badgers to victory. | 2019-04-19T05:13:49 | https://wkow.com/sport/top-sports-stories/2019/02/10/no-14-wisconsin-wins-thrilling-dual-over-no-22-illinois-17-16/ |
Nocturne, a composition inspired by, or evocative of, the night…..
For the last decade, I have been photographing musicians who live in or pass through southeast Wyoming. My interest is that of capturing the moment between the act of performing and when musicians express a kind of self-reflection, an inward moment as if to connect with one’s self. I am intrigued by the challenge of working in available light, hand-holding my camera, and negotiating the crowds up front to capture a composition that becomes an aesthetic, poetic experience in black and light. While I am not a musician, I have had a life-long interest in live music, an interest that has emerged through this work as Laramie, where I live, has seen a significant expansion of its music community over the last 10 years.
Nocturne is an ongoing investigation. | 2019-04-21T23:09:04 | https://susanmoldenhauer.com/musiciansmusicians-i-love-hanging-out-in-bars-and-concert-venues-to-photograph-musicians-and-laramie-has-a-number-of-great-bands-i-am-honored-to-call-many-of-them-friends-but-they-are-a-challeng/ |

In 2017, Naxos Records celebrated its 30th anniversary. Founded in 1987 by Klaus Heymann, the label now boasts a catalogue of over 9,000 albums spanning every genre of classical music. This limited edition anniversary boxed set comprises thirty CDs spanning the wide range of the label's repertoire. Featuring releases from 1987 to 2016 and a host of stellar artists, every one of these discs has received critical acclaim and has contributed towards the huge success of Naxos: the world's largest independent classical record label.
Naxos was launched in 1987 as a budget classical CD label, offering CDs at the price of an LP when CDs cost about three times more than LPs. The focus was on recording the standard classical repertoire in state-of-the-art digital sound with outstanding, if unknown, artists and orchestras, initially mainly from Slovakia and Hungary. The parent company's existing rarity label, Marco Polo had been producing recordings in these two countries since 1982. Having recorded the most popular classical works, Naxos started to tackle complete cycles, beginning with the complete Haydn string quartets performed by the Kodály Quartet. This cycle was the first to bring the fledgling budget label international critical acclaim.
Once the label had established a reputation for sonic and artistic excellence it attracted interest from orchestras and artists in Western Europe and elsewhere.
Recording the complete works by all the most important composers became one of the missions of Naxos. From the beginning, the label established close relations with artists willing to commit to the Naxos mission. These became Naxos house artists, starting with Jenő Jandó, the prolific Hungarian pianist who made the first Naxos recording in 1986 and continues to record to this day. Others include the violinists Takako Nishizaki, Ilya Kaler, Henning Kraggerud and Tianwa Yang; the cellist Maria Kliegel; the guitarist Norbert Kraft; the pianist Idil Biret; and others. Naxos also established close relationships with many conductors and their orchestras - Antoni Wit with the Polish National Radio Symphony and the Warsaw Philharmonic; Marin Alsop with the Royal Scottish National, the Bournemouth Symphony, the Baltimore Symphony and the São Paulo State Symphony Orchestra; Helmut Müller-Brühl and his Cologne Chamber Orchestra; Leonard Slatkin with his Detroit Symphony and Lyon National Orchestra; Jun Märkl with the MDR Symphony and the Lyon National Orchestra; James Judd and the New Zealand Symphony; JoAnn Falletta and the Buffalo Philharmonic; our American hometown orchestra, the Nashville Symphony with Kenneth Schermerhorn and Giancarlo Guerrero; Kevin Mallon and his Aradia Ensemble; Gerard Schwarz and his Seattle Symphony; and many others.
Today, Naxos has a catalogue of over 9,000 titles and releases about 200 new titles per year, covering a wide range of often unique repertoire, recorded in more than 30 countries. The humble budget label has morphed into one of the most respected classical labels, regardless of price.
Parallel to the growth of the label, Naxos built a worldwide distribution and marketing infrastructure for its own and most other Independent classical labels. Naxos is also the industry leader in the digital presentation of classical music. In 1996, it made the complete catalogues of Naxos and Marco Polo available for streaming. In 2002, the company launched Naxos Music Library, the industry's first subscription streaming platform.
This 30th anniversary box offers a representative selection of landmark recordings from the label's history but is also a tribute to the artists and orchestras with whom the label is identified and who are identified with the label. | 2019-04-22T03:02:54 | https://www.marbecks.co.nz/detail/558938/Anniversary-Collection-30-CDs-To-Celebrate-30-Years-The |
With the price of products like aromatherapy candles increasing dramatically, some individuals have decided on making aromatherapy products of their own. Making these products is not as hard as you would expect and by following simple steps, making aromatherapy products can be a hobby that you can enjoy any time. It is important that all of the steps are followed closely to avoid creating products that could cause health problems in people that are sensitive to scented products.
The first step that must be taken is to buy aromatherapy product ingredients from a local retailer or online store that specializes in these ingredients. Recipes for making aromatherapy products can be found on the internet and each of the recipes will include an ingredient list of items that will be needed for the successful creation of the product. The essential ingredients can generally be found in craft stores while other ingredients can be purchased at grocery stores that carry a wide variety of items.
When making aromatherapy products, one of the most important parts of the product is the scent of the product. Making a scent perfectly will take some practice but it does not cost much to create some small batches of the product to see what scent combinations work the best with the recipe. If you experiment with a number of different scents and combinations, you will have a greater chance of finding a scent for the product that you like.
For making aromatherapy products in small batches to try different scents, you should make a single batch of the product to the point before the scent is added. Then, the product should be split into several small batches so a different scent can be added to each portion without contaminating the others. Only use a small amount of the scents in each portion so that you will get a good idea of the strength of the scent when used in a larger batch in the proper proportions. This is the best method of making aromatherapy products in a way that you can test the scent without wasting a lot of the product.
It is important to keep track of how much of each ingredient went into making aromatherapy products that you like so that you will be able to duplicate the exact recipe in the future. There are many websites that can help you find different scent combinations that may be appealing to you. Recipes for making aromatherapy products will list different scent combinations that can be used for modifying the recipe into something that the person may enjoy more. Many people use these recipes as a starting point for making aromatherapy products that are unique and more complex than they would have created on their own.

Stephanie Ruck has always loved being outdoors, so she jumped at the chance to participate in a research project that would involve going out and catching lizards. As part of a summer-long research project with Dr. Manuel Leal, Ruck investigated whether lizards have the ability to solve novel problems, an ability biologists call behavioral flexibility. She was invited to present the findings from her research at the 30th Annual Meeting of the Missouri Herpetological Association.

As a first-generation college student with an interest in science, Rebecca Craigg was unsure what undergraduate research entailed. She says “uncertainty and curiosity” led her to the lab of Dr. D Cornelison, who immediately put her to work on a project aimed at investigating a special class of cellular signals that govern the interactions between “fast” and “slow” muscle fibers and the neurons that stimulate them. In the lab, Craigg found she had both a passion and talent for research. She has received funding to support her research through the Arts and Science Undergraduate Research Mentorship Program and the Life Sciences Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program. Craigg is also the recipient the Outstanding Sophomore Award from the Division of Biological Sciences, the Outstanding Student Award from Mizzou Alumni Association, and an Excellence Award.
Career Goal: Rebecca plans to earn an M.D., Ph.D. and then work in both a surgical and research setting. She also hopes to work with Doctors Without Borders.

Alex McClelland says that his love for plant biology stems from a fun fact: that bananas share 50% of human DNA. He says knowing that “plants are just as complex as animals and do a lot of the same stuff we do” motivated him to join a plant science lab his freshman year. Since then, Alex has been investigating the genes and proteins that regulate a plant’s response to stress in the lab of Dr. Walter Gassmann. The summer before his senior year, McClelland had the opportunity to expand his research portfolio by spending a summer doing research on small RNAs at the Donald Danforth Plant Sciences Center in St. Louis. He has received support for his research experiences from MU’s Freshman Research in Plant Sciences (FRIPS) Program and the Life Science Undergraduate Research Opportunity Program.
Career Goal: Alex has been accepted into the Ph.D. program in Genetics, Genomics, and Bioinformatics at the University of California, Riverside. His long-term goal is to become a professor.

HILLCREST – The early morning blaze Thursday that burned down a Main Street gasoline station is considered suspicious as Ramapo police and fire investigators continue searching for the cause.
Investigators have not ruled the fire arson, Ramapo Detective Lt. Mark Emma said.
"The place was closed for business and there's no obvious cause right now," Emma said. "Right now, we are looking at it as suspicious. The assessment could change."
Ramapo officers responded to the Hillcrest Service Center, 311 N. Main St., at 2:44 a.m. and found it fully engulfed in flames. Police said an officer feared the flames threatened a nearby house at 2 Locust St. and had the residents evacuate.
The fire never reached the house, police said. | 2019-04-24T06:01:13 | http://www.nybuff.net/2015/03/photos-authorities-investigate.html |
Some people say that you’re either a self-proclaimed shoe girl, handbag aficionado or accessories queen. Keep in mind that you’re only supposed to pick one! I think it’s safe to say that I’m all three (and NO, of course, I can’t side with one over the other!).
As far as jewelry goes, rings are unquestionably my go-to. Let’s put it this way, while I could forego a necklace or bangle on any given day, a ring is something that I never leave the house without. My relationship with rings is pretty serious, but I guess that’s why I consider myself a bit of a ring connoisseur.
Interesting enough, about 6-8 months ago, I formed a sweet spot for the daintiest of rings. (This was a ground-breaking change for me as I’ve always been more of a cocktail ring-kind-of-girl.) It began with an-oh-so-subtle bow ring and shortly thereafter a cutout heart ring soon came into the picture.
Fast-forward to now and my appreciation for dainty rings is still going strong. Here are seven dainty rings that I absolutely love and adore. Happy Monday!
1. Prince Charming Ring (Kate Spade)- If you’re one to get all wrapped up in fairy tales and happy endings, then this set of frog rings is sure to set your heart a flutter.
2. Gold Marrakech Ring (Kira Kira)- An everyday Moroccan-inspired ring that is the epitome of effortless-chic. I think I’m in love!
3. Rhinestoned Bow Ring (Forever 21)- I actually already own this charming bow ring from Forever 21 and can attest that it gets worn at least 2-3 times a week. For under $5, I say buy it!
4. Gold Knot Ring (Bauble Bar)- This simple knot ring has me thinking of summer, breton stripes and anything nautical.
5. Goreski Glasses Ring (Kate Spade)- I’ve been seriously coveting Kate Spade’s Goreski Glasses ring for far too long. It contains the perfect amount of whimsicalness, yet is dainty enough that it can be paired with the simplest striped tee.
6. Scallop Pave Ring (Kate Spade)- Scallops are most certainly in my rotation these days – whether it be a scallop-trim skirt or sweet scallop ring, I’m in!
7. Cut Out Bird Midi Ring (Topshop)- I’m slowly beginning to jump in on the whole midi ring trend. Not that my style is really all that boho or anything, but I like the free-spirited aura that comes with this bird ring.
Are you loving dainty rings as much as I am? Which one’s your favorite? | 2019-04-21T00:43:35 | http://www.bitte-und-danke.com/2014/01/dainty-rings.html |
Scammers have been sending letters to men, demanding payments using bitcoin in exchange for keeping quiet about alleged affairs. The letter also explains how to use bitcoin to make the payment.
If you — or someone you know — get a letter like this, report it immediately to your local police, and the FBI.
Threats, intimidation and high-pressure tactics are classic signs of a scam.
Don’t pay upfront for a promise. Someone might ask you to pay in advance for things like debt relief, credit and loan offer, mortgage assistance, or a job. They might even say you’ve won a prize, but first you have to pay taxes or fees. If you do, they will probably take the money and disappear.

Sean Poynter and Iballa Moreno are crowned World Champions, both for the first time. After displaying some spectacular performances at El Loret in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria in the final day of the APP World Tour. All competitors out on a great show, demonstrating the strength in depth in the SUP surfing world, and the limits in which the paddlers are pushing.
The quarter finals saw Zane Schweitzer bowing out after coming up against French Polynesian paddler Poenaiki Raioha. Recent ISA ChampionLuis Diniz from Brazil came unstuck after coming up against inform Sean Poynter, who advacned into the Semi’s. Meanwhile French man Julien Bouyer surfed impressively and booked himself into the semi finals.
The Semi Finals pitted Sean Poynter against Julien Bouyer and Ponaiki Raioha vs. Sebastian Gomez as the swell delivered some of the best waves of the day, with perfect green faces and long walls for optimal performance from the World’s very best athletes. The crowds continued to grow for the final rounds in this ideal natural amphitheatre that holds El Loret as its showcase.
Sean Poynter led off the charge with an outside set wave against Julien Bouyer. Sean’s performance only grew sharper, with his World Title aspirations on the line – he new he had to win this heat in order to secure the World Title in 2018, so all the pressure was squarely on him – while Julien Bouyer, already ecstatic with his performance in the Gran Canaria Pro-Am had nothing to lose – a potentially dangerous scenario!
However, the ever professional and focused Poynter maintained is composure and delivered an exceptional semi final heat with a couple of excellent scores to secure not only his berth in the prestigious Final heat of the Gran Canaria Pro-Am, but his place in history as the 2018 World Champion following his performances over the series!
Last in the Semis came Poenaiki Raioha vs. Sebastian Gomez, a highly anticipated heat that pit two of the most stylish and flow focused surfers in the world against each other for a critical heat. While any Title aspirations for Poenaiki Raioha were now over, he let it all out and only raised the bar again in response to the heightened competition, as this Semifinal match up unleashed another level from the French Polynesian.
In the finals Poynter and Raioha traded waves back & forth in the pumping surf, driving wave scores to new levels and excitement to a fever pitch. Both men technically excellent; both men surfing at the top of their game on the perfect stage for the world to witness. Massive turns, explosive snaps, roundhouse cutbacks into the towering white water. Poenaiki Raioha and Sean Poynter held the crowd’s attention and went blow for blow, as wave after wave each rider was sending it to a new level!
Poenaiki’s bold and aggressive manoeuvres were a perfect match to Poynter’s technically defined power and strength. It was a final to remember. As the wave scores rolled in, the lead changing back and forth continuously in the countdown to the finish. In the end, Poenaiki Raioha the French Polynesian surfer, who’s talented efforts pushed the judges to award him multiple scores in the excellent range, was handed the win with a staggering heat score total of 17.57 compared to 17.4 for Sean Poynter. An incredible, competitive moment for the sport of Stand Up Paddling that will not be forgotten, as history was made this year at the Gran Canaria Pro-Am.
7-8 foot peeling right handers greeted the women for the morning’s competition and the day exploded into new levels of performance for the Women’s side of SUP Surfing. In the Quarter Final rounds we saw the field narrow as Iballa Moreno superceded young Alazne Alonso in a dominant heat. Iballa’s intent was clear as she made singular use of every wave to maximise her scores in a run for the top. Alonso’s surfing was strong but no match for the World Title contender in her home waters surrounded by her fans, family and spectators all eager to see the Canary Island native bring home a World Championship title.
Vania Olivieri Torres matched up with the USA’s Candice Appleby for a searing Quarter Final heat which saw both women finding multiple rides to increase their overall heat scores. However, Torres managed to find the better waves and scored with her high energy turns and incredible consistency down the line executing multiple manoeuvres for the judges with technical skill and performance.
In Heat #3, Izzi Gomez turned on the power against Gabriela Sztamfater from Brazil. As the swell built in both power and size, the Californian found her comfort zone with powerful hooks off the top and dramatic cut backs to stay within the waves power zone. Izzi rose to her full performance value throughout Sunday’s competition and the Quarter Final Rounds proved to be her warm up for a massive event. Last on the docket for the QF was a great match up between Australia’s Shakira Westdorp and Brazil’s Nicole Pacelli. Shakira, a good friend to Iballa Moreno, had it in her power to hand her friend the World Championship Title if she were able to dominate the exceedingly talented Pacelli and knock her from the competition. Shakira’s focus was absolute and when this young Aussie is on her top performance, she is close to unbeatable.
Pacelli’s strong presence has been felt throughout the APP World Tour with her 2nd place finish in New York and her slashing top turns in Gran Canaria. Shakira was able to overcome Pacelli after a heated battle to surf in to a big battle hug from Iballa Moreno who had just won her first ever World SUP Surfing title!
Semi Final Heat #1 matched Iballa Moreno with Vania Olivieri Torres. Iballa had won her World Title and now, in seeking a win for the Gran Canaria ProAm, unleashed a new level of power. In a display of hometown courage, Iballa sought shelter under the lip in an 8 footer, almost claiming the first barrel of the event. The crowd rewarded this 2018 windsurf & SUP champ with loud, expressive cheers for the native girl’s efforts. Vania fought back, but was no match for a champ on a roll and the heat ended in Iballa’s favor 12.5/ 6.9.
The day’s second Semi Final heat saw a great confrontation between Shakira Westdorp and Izzi Gomez. As both women recall it, they were cheering each other on and calling one another into massive waves in what became an elite expression session for both athletes. Shakira, charging hard as always, found a powerful drive on one wave and executed her stylish cut backs and top turns with usual precision; however, Izzi was lighting the wick of a whole new level of performance scoring an 8.33 ride as well as several others was able to take the win.
Izzi & Iballa, in a final showdown, did not disappoint the crowds and spectators that had come to watch. Iballa’s strong skills and radical moves in the surf all day, showcasing her courage and confidence as well as massive talent is the criteria for any World Champion.
Wave after wave the women traded places at the top of the leaderboard, each driving big to increase scores and please the judges Izzi’s wicked snaps off the lip followed by those roundhouse cutbacks were blazing with talent. Iballa answered every move with her own innovative style and technical skill mking it near impossilbe to predict the winner outcome.
As the clock ticked down, Izzi found a perfect set up and scored a 9.5 – highest wave score for the women in the entire competition – for her dominant forehand powerhouse snaps to put her in the lead. Iballa dug deep, but just could not find the wave she would need to overcome Izzi’s impressive scorline ending the heat and the competition with Izzi on top with a heat score total of 16.07 to Iballa’s 14.16. It was the Infinity rider Izzi who took the win on the day, but Iballa who won was crowned World APP Tour Champion 2018!

People struggling with hair loss should consider enrolling in a clinical trial. These studies are developing better treatments that can help save or even grow back more hair. Research has also provided great insight into what may be causing more cases of hair loss. Volunteers who qualify may benefit from an experimental therapy not yet available on the market.
Subjects in a hair loss clinical trial are monitored closely to determine the effects of the applied treatment. Investigators mark the progress for each participant over the course of the study period. There is typically a follow-up period after the treatment phase of the hair loss clinical study where participants will need to come in for further evaluation.
If you’ve been experiencing some recent hair loss, then you can take a more proactive step by participating in a clinical trial. Below you’ll see a list of active hair loss clinical trials from around the country. Learn which trials are being conducted locally and what you’ll need to know prior to enrollment.
Hair loss (also known as alopecia) can affect the scalp or other parts of the body. This is a medical condition that can impact anyone – men, women, and children.
Once hair loss begins, some people choose to let it run its course without being treated or hidden. People who do wish to hide their hair loss may attempt to cover it with certain hairstyles, hats, or even makeup. It’s strongly advised that you talk to your doctor before pursuing any serious form of treatment for hair loss.
Some cases of hair loss may actually go away on their own without the need for any form of treatment. Contemporary treatments are used to promote renewed hair growth or hide the hair that has been lost. The prescribed treatment really depends on the underlying cause for the hair loss.
There are a few different medications that can be prescribed for more severe cases of hair loss. Some treatments – like rogaine – are available over-the-counter. These come in either liquid or foam and are rubbed into the scalp a few times a day to promote hair growth.
There are also surgical procedures available for hair loss. Many people have opted for hair transplants which make use of artificial plugs or healthy hair follicles from another part of the scalp. Please remember that surgical treatment for hair loss can be very expensive and there are potential side effects. | 2019-04-22T02:47:00 | https://www.clinicaltrialsgps.com/clinical-trials-indications/hair-loss/ |

I would like to ask for your support in regards to a formula.
I have a field in my MySQL database which contains comments. The issue is that sometimes this field contains text, sometimes nothing and sometimes spaces only.
I would like to be able to differentiate when the field is empty because no comment was required from when the field looks empty but contains spaces only.
IF([Comments]= " ") THEN "Invalid Comment: 1 space"
ELSEIF([Comments]= " ") THEN "Invalid Comment: 2 spaces"
ELSEIF([Comments]= " ") THEN "Invalid Comment: 3 spaces"
ELSEIF([Comments]= " ") THEN "Invalid Comment: 4 spaces"
ELSEIF([Comments]= " ") THEN "Invalid Comment: 5 spaces"
ELSEIF([Comments]= " ") THEN "Invalid Comment: 6 spaces"
ELSEIF([Comments]= "") THEN "No comment required"
The formula works fine up to the point where I refresh the extract. Then all the occurences are "grouped" into the first case, here "Invalid Comment: 1 space".
Therefore I was wondering whether there would be a solution to "fix" this formula or a better one to get the results I am looking for?
LTRIM( [Comments] ) = ""
This will return true if the comment existed, but only contained spaces.
thanks a lot for your help and quick answer.
All the "blank" fields are grouped together.
Any idea maybe why the formula I wrote doesn't work anymore after a refresh of the extract?
To your extract question. When you refresh an extract within Tableau desktop, you lose any custom data type changes you may have made. This means that some things you manually changed to string, may no longer be string. You should check your data types. Tableau also gives pretty descriptive error messages.
To your original question. This is getting a little too theoretical. Any chance you could post a mock-up or .twbx?
I'll try to figure something out to solve the problem.
"Formula to identify spaces only in text field"
I actually thought of another method.
IF [Comments] = "" THEN "Blank"
ELSEIF TRIM( [Comments] ) = "" THEN "Spaces"
all the entries are displayed as "Blank" once the extract is refreshed.
I am not sure why this is happening. The extract should not affect it. | 2019-04-26T10:59:22 | https://community.tableau.com/thread/127364 |
Well, did I ever underestimate how long it would take to paint a buffalo check wall! I’m honestly SO relieved it’s over and am thrilled with the results. It’s changed the whole feel of the basement bathroom and I love it. So, read on and I’m going to show you How to Create a Buffalo Check Accent Wall.
Huge shout out to Erin from Lemons, Lavendar, & Laundry for hosting this fun blog hop. This project was inspired by the $100 Room Challenge, where participants have 1 month to completely transform a room using only $100! It’s crazy, right? Well, I’m going to show you how I’m transforming this room and I’ve only spent a total of $37.87.
The name of the game with this room makeover is to be thrifty, so I started out by using paint I had on hand for the base coat. I mixed an ultra pure white with a bit of a cream tone and painted the room in this mixture as a base coat.
I like the room so much better already with a fresh coat of white paint.
I only needed to buy a quart of paint to finish off these walls, since my base coat was already done in a cream tone. I saved about $20 by not having to purchase a gallon of paint.
The next step for my buffalo check wall was to measure the wall where I wanted the accent to go. It was nearly perfect to fit 7 x 7 inch squares. I did 10 squares across and 12 squares down. I used my 4 ft. level to draw these lines. The next step was to tape off the squares. I started off by only taping off around the squares I was going to paint, and then opted for a ladder type technique when I got to the bottom. I have to say, I definitely preferred the ladder technique.
Here’s a progress shot after 2 of the colours were painted. Part of what took this process so long was waiting for the paint to fully dry. I couldn’t tape off a new set of squares until the ones prior were completely dry.
Here is the last bit of taping off for the final colour. I also opted to keep the gold towel rack and toilet paper holder since gold is SO in. Sometimes it pays to wait it out because old becomes new again. Lol.
Here she is…. all finished.
Be sure to check out what my blogging friends have completed in their $100 Room Challenge.
I am so going to do this in my laundry room. I am saving your tutorial so that I can follow it. Thanks for sharing!
This wall looks absolutely INCREDIBLE!!! And your budget is looking awesome! I’m so excited to see everyone’s reveals tomorrow!
This is so creative! I love the buffalo check!
I love this project! How creative you are. It turned out beautifully. | 2019-04-21T18:08:28 | https://www.apurdylittlehouse.com/2018/09/19/how-to-create-a-buffalo-check-accent-wall/?shared=email&msg=fail |

Home▸ Questions Catholics Ask▸ Is it appropriate to speak of “lay ministries”?
Can a layperson be said to “preach”; or should we call what they do—if they do it at all—by some other term?
Believe it or not, this was a matter of heated debate two decades ago. The concern was whether the word “ministry” could be applied to anything done by non-clergy. This same proprietary use of nomenclature affects the realm of preaching and proclamation. Can a layperson be said to “preach”; or should we call what they do—if they do it at all—by some other term?
As a laywoman and catechist of the church, I’m invited to do a lot of things that were once the official domain of priests or religious. Fundamentally I teach; but rarely in a classroom. I give religious instruction as a writer of books, magazine columns, and Scripture commentary. I also make presentations at retreat centers, give diocesan workshops, speak at Catholic conferences, and offer parish missions. It’s when I appear in person that the business gets murky. When I do in person the same things I do in print, what am I doing?
When asked to give a parish mission, for example, it’s expected that the mission leader (traditionally a priest) would preach at the weekend Masses to introduce himself and the themes of the mission to the assembly. When I give missions, some parishes invite me to do this—but are careful to call it something else: a reflection, talk, pious exhortation, or catechetical teaching. I’ve written homiletic reflections that priests use in their preaching for 20 years. But when I deliver these words myself, it isn’t preaching.
Nomenclature first showed its sticky side when I attended the Franciscan School of Theology. Enrolled in the Master of Divinity program, I spent four years surrounded by men studying for the priesthood. They spoke of their context as “being in seminary.” However, when I talked of being in seminary, I learned it was appropriate to say I was in theology school. We sat in the same classrooms, attended the same lectures, and took the same exams. We earned the same degree. But our experience was “ontologically” distinct. That’s a big word meaning the very being or essence of our pursuit was different. In the end, they would be ordained. I would look for work.
It’s in this context that I’m happy to say that, yes, these days, we do have a name for what lay people who work professionally in the church do: lay ecclesial ministry (LEM). It’s a nuanced and delicately controlled term. But it’s a start. | 2019-04-26T16:44:42 | https://www.vocationnetwork.org/blog/questions_catholics_ask/2018/12/is_it_appropriate_to_speak_of_lay_ministries |

now, that meant I had to look up a couple of more words … and finally came up with my own definition(s).
1 – to go on endlessly about something as if you actually knew something about the subject and was the end all be all on the subject matter.
2 – to go on endlessly about something, having preconceived notions that what you say actually means something to someone… and that that someone would actually give a sh*t about it.
Now me personally, I think a rant is just something that catches in my craw from time to time. Might be something that has happened a hundred times before and it’s never bothered me, but this one time, it just hits me wrong and sends me off into a rant. So what does that mean to all you little boys and girls out there reading this? It means I’m gonna offend. I’m gonna make generalizations. I’m gonna be labeled a [sexist, racist, homophobic, neurotic, “insert favorite pigeon hole here”].
Having said all that, let the fun begin. But please, for my sake and your sake, don’t continue reading if you’re easily offended. I’m not here for argument, I’m here for expression. | 2019-04-22T06:40:03 | https://www.markmace.info/page/32/ |
This machine parked beside our van in a Moose Jaw parking lot and my reaction was predictable. This was one of those "wow" moments. Not that I haven't seen a Cadillac before but this one seemed to be extraordinary. A black convertible Eldorado with a sunroof in the convertible softtop.
convertible rag top got me as being a step toward the excessive. But then let us face it this was never intended to be a practical vehicle to get someone from here to there, but rather an instrument of satisfying and demonstrative status as one proceeds.
Our culture's fascination with automobiles is definitely not waining as this sort of thing is produced and driven to impress and identify success or at the very least an ample credit rating. | 2019-04-19T18:35:30 | http://ensign.ftlcomm.com/carfolder/carcultureF/eldorado/eldorado.html |

We don't have any underground networks in Yorkshire, but if we did I'd like to think we'd have one a little like this. It took a few conversations with fellow Yorkshire folk, inlcuding a few customers in our shop to think of all the station names but we did it! Hope tha likes it.
The design was created here in Haworth by us, before being made into this striking mug. A perfect addition to any home or as a fantastic gift for any of your Yorkshire pals.
This 11oz mug would be a great addition to any kitchen. This also makes a great gift for any fellow Yorkshire friends. Especially ones that may have moved darn South. | 2019-04-24T00:58:17 | https://lighthouselane.co.uk/collections/mugs/products/yorkshire-underground-tube-map-mug |
Macau-based casino operator Sands China Ltd expects mobile contactless payments at its properties to amount to an aggregate MOP3 billion (US$370.3 million) in 2018. The figure covers only non-gaming purchases.
The estimate was provided by the firm’s senior vice president of e-commerce, Dean Zhao, quoted by local Chinese-language newspaper Macao Daily News.
Mr Zhao added that, in Sands China’s properties, sales at merchants offering mobile contactless payment services were growing at a faster pace than at outlets not offering that payment option. He was speaking on the sidelines of an event promoted by WeChat Pay, the e-payment services unit of Chinese technology giant Tencent Holdings Ltd.
WeChat Pay is an in-app payment feature that allows users of social network platform WeChat to make mobile contactless payments inside and outside mainland China. It is considered one of China’s largest mobile payment platforms.
Macao Daily News quoted Mr Zhao as saying that shops at Sands China’s properties that offered mobile contactless payments had seen sales up by 31 percent year-on-year during the Chinese New Year holiday in February, versus a 6-percent increase for shops that did not support mobile payments.
Sands China was the first Macau casino resort operator to accept WeChat Pay payments, namely for for hotel room bookings, according to a company press statement from May 2016.

As my past writings may have alluded to, private equity is a space that I am passionate about. I love the idea that you can use money, expertise and relationships to grow businesses - surely capitalism at its most raw. However PE has had its share of detractors.
For example, in the US, critics say that PE makes money the wrong way - buying “target companies”, making people redundant, piling on debt and selling the remnants in tidied up boxes - which by then are doomed to fail. To make matters worse, PE firms get tax breaks, paying 15 percent on profits instead of 35 percent.
But the industry and its defenders say it is a strong creator of jobs and value, and a vital source of ambitious and diversified returns for pension funds, university endowments and other investment pools that serve ordinary people.
Africa is at a different stage of growth to the developed world and growth capital is what Africa needs and PE provides. Africa needs all forms of capital so PE capital in Africa has been welcome and has not had much of the criticism (at least so far!!) that PE has had in the developed world.
"AVCA plays an important role as a champion and effective change agent for the industry, educating, equipping and connecting members and stakeholders with independent industry research, best practice training programmes and exceptional networking opportunities."
I have been involved with many trade organizations and business clubs, and I think that the key to success for a club is creating the right inclusive environment and making members feel that they are part of a family. AVCA seems to have found the formula for this.
"If you want to go quickly go alone; if you want to go far, go together"
This diverse membership is united by a common purpose: to contribute to Africa and be part of the Africa growth story. That’s what excites me about working on the continent compared to other regions. And perhaps overlaying all of this is that the Africa PE industry knows how to have fun.
"My vision was always to have fun and make money and if you are not happy in your job you should just….do something else!!!"
After AVCA 2014, Nicholas Plant (Head of PE at Dentons) and I produced an article on the key points from that conference. Click here to read the article.
1. Huge enthusiasm and an industry that is focused on taking a company from one stage in its development to the next, rather than financial engineering.
2. Private equity is a bifurcated market in Africa. On the one hand the large ticket deals in energy, telco and financial services transactions with deal values in excess of US$100 million. All other businesses typically have deal values of between US$1 million and US$30 million. There is very little in the middle.
No change. A theme in 2015 is the need for more venture capital funding to grow these smaller companies into the PE deal size companies of tomorrow.
Larger transactions use acquisition structures that variously include Dutch or Mauritius entities and sometimes also Luxembourg and Cayman entities.
Structure and diligence are key to doing deals anywhere and there is no difference and no change for Africa.
is quality of the management team and alignment with the entrepreneurs.
"I would rather trust a Nigerian on a handshake than an American on a signed contract. "
General outlook Investing in Africa has got easier. In the 90s you were often negotiating with counterparties that did not understand where investors were coming from and heading to.
“You were often negotiating with yourself” – Jurie Swart, AIIM.
Competition for deals has increased so investing is harder from that perspective.
However the flip side is that the competitive processes have got better.
Relationships and patience are key.
Money There is US$3.8 trillion of PE in the world but only about 1 percent of this goes to Africa.
"More money is being raised for PE in Africa more than $22 billion raised since 2007"
but we have a long way to go to make a dent in global PE terms.
More sovereign wealth funds and local and international pension funds (e.g. New York State Common Retirement Fund and City of Baltimore Retirement Fund – both attended AVCA) are investing on the continent.
for underserved sectors (e.g. agriculture which employs 70 percent of Africans) and geographies.
Co-investing is still popular but many LPs don’t take up co-investing rights for a variety of reasons including capacity issues.
GPs/Fund Managers Numbers of GPs/Fund Managers investing in Africa are increasing every year. This has resulted in greater expertise and knowledge about PE. Africa is a big market so there is no issue on overcrowding yet.
PE opportunities The number of PE opportunities is increasing in many regions of Africa.
You just need to look harder and know how to find them.
Outside South Africa, East and West Africa dominate the PE landscape.
PE opportunities are there but to find them you need to be on the ground, show up, be open, and look to partner with others.
Sectors GPs are investing across a variety of sectors. Africa needs investments in all sectors. Stakeholders need to work together to make each of the sectors structurally attractive for investors (including PE).
Exit routes are broadening and there continues to be an influx of trade buyers plus increasingly seeing secondary exits (PE to PE), though LPs are not keen on PE to PE exits.
Exits (cash to cash) in Africa take longer than exits in developed markets.
There is no difficulty for an investor to exit a well-run company.
There is a perception amongst LPs that GPs chasing secondary market deals are just lazy.
Finance and credit funds There is still a massive opportunity for financial services investments in Africa.
Opportunities are not in first tier banks but in the second and third tier banks.
Technology will play a big part in the growth of the financial services industry in Africa, pushed by the capital requirements of Basel 3 and the retreat of the availability of traditional sources of debt.
We will see an increase in private debt/credit funds as they move in to fill a gap in the market.
Africa PE funds are looking to leverage at fund level (in addition to asset level) to boost returns.
Risks can’t be considered in the abstract. You may choose to accept certain risks if returns are high enough (i.e. revenue growth or earnings growth or both).
E.g. the GDP of a city or region may be markedly different to the GDP of country.
You can’t generalize about risks and need to do proper and intelligent due diligence.
Due diligence and market awareness is an ongoing process and you should have regular reviews of your investments and the applicable market (e.g. Abraaj reviews its companies annually at a minimum and semi-annually at fund level).
So where to for PE in Africa?
Of course, PE in Africa is not all a bed of roses. There will always be the good, the bad and the ugly in all parts of the world. It’s being able to see beyond the hype and the myths that is key.
Ultimately what is driving growth and PE in Africa is that what Africa wants is what the world wants. Africans have the same aspirations as anyone else. What is needed is the investment to match these aspirations, which is where the opportunity is.
Growth needs investment, which needs stability, leadership and the right economic and regulatory framework and policies. That’s the challenge for Africa. | 2019-04-23T06:19:32 | https://www.dentons.com/en/insights/alerts/2015/july/9/private-equity-in-africa-report-from-avca-conference-2015 |

At Carnegie Mellon University, behavioral economists tackle these problems using a distinct fusion of economics and psychology. They work to understand why we eat unhealthy food, pay women less than men and avoid — or choose not to believe — certain information. They design and test multifaceted interventions to change the way we make decisions, alter the way organizations operate and influence how policies are implemented. And it works.

Village Hotel Katong is nestled in the middle of the Joo Chiat neighbourhood, within the historical centre of Katong. Stepping into this side of Singapore felt like a breath of fresh air from the usual towering buildings of our concrete jungle. Here we’re greeted with rows of shophouses that are painted in every colour of the rainbow, their pristine shopfronts twinkling merrily in the sun.
The lobby is flanked by large umbrella-shaped structures that give off a rather elegant flair. We were rather taken aback upon stepping into the hotel; the modernity is a stark juxtaposition to the surrounding area as well as the hotel’s exterior, having us feeling like we had stepped into a whole new world. The interior is large and airy, decked out in shimmering overtones of bronze and gold.
The hotel is a reflection of its culturally rich surroundings, encouraging its guests to #livelikealocalsg and take the chance to explore the surrounding area, even giving out local recipes from a cart stationed in the lobby. How cool is that!
We like how the hotel is situated along the busy street of Katong, yet remaining a bubble of quiet; Village Hotel Katong is the perfect place for an idyllic staycation far removed from the stresses of everyday life. If you’re looking to feel refreshed and recharged, this is the place to be. Village Hotel Katong is also ideal for families, especially with their latest Weekend Throwback Package. More on that later!
The Peranakan Club is the crown jewel of Village Hotel Katong, and rightly so. Just look at it! The first thing that caught our eye was the in-room bathtub – the first of its kind that we’ve ever seen. The room is flooded with natural light and the walls are covered in an intricate Peranakan motif. We sank into the bed the minute we stepped in, and found it mighty hard to even drag ourselves off afterwards!
This led to us ordering room service for lunch, which we ordered from a menu designed to look like the front of a shophouse.
While waiting for lunch to arrive, we couldn’t resist taking a quick soak in the bathtub. We loved how we could watch TV during our soak – a big thumbs up for the in-room bathtub!
The room also came with a separate settee that’s large enough to fit both of us. It makes for a great place to relax whilst watching TV, or simply to have some lighthearted conversation.
What stands out besides the in-room bathtub, however, are the elaborate details in the room – the carpet is interwoven with ornate blue and black wavy patterns, and hanging on the wall is a painting done by a seven year old child. We were really impressed by the painting; no way could we have painted anything that comes anywhere near that standard!
If taking long soaks in the bathtub aren’t your thing, the room comes with a standing shower as well that’s accessible through a sliding glass door. There are Peranakan elements infused into every part of the room, and the toilet is no exception. Just imagine brushing your teeth at that picture-perfect sink; brb, taking mental notes for our future home!
Besides the Peranakan Club, guests can also choose to stay in the Club Room. The only difference between the two is the absence of the in-room bathtub in the latter and the Peranakan Club room is slightly more spacious. Both rooms grant their guests exclusive access to the Peranakan Club Lounge, which serves free-flow evening cocktails from 6-8pm and light snacks/refreshments throughout the day. More about that in the ‘Things to Do’ section!
The Deluxe Katong has a cheery vibe to it, its vibrant pink headboard and cushions adding a vibrant pop of colour to the room. The hanging lights resemble lanterns of yesteryear, infusing an element of time-worn nostalgia.
The Deluxe Katong comes without a bathtub, but the aesthetically pleasing bathroom more than makes up for it. We absolutely love the Peranakan motifs that dress up the otherwise usual toilet!
The Superior Room is the smaller counterpart of the Deluxe Katong, but otherwise offers exactly the same experience.
The Junior Suite is ideal for families, and comes with either a king-sized bed or two big double beds. We were amazed to find that there is even a walk-in wardrobe – what a way to make a staycation at Village Hotel Katong feel just like home!
The room is decked out in warm yellow overtones, giving off a welcoming and soothing vibe. The Junior Suite had not one, but two balconies, both of which overlooks a panoramic view of the surrounding Joo Chiat and Marine Parade area.
We didn’t manage to stay here this time round, but we’ll definitely be back with our families in tow!
The suite consists of an en suite kitchenette, as well as a separate living and dining area. It’s just like staying in your very own private apartment! Stretch out all you want; the suite is incredibly spacious, complete with polished parquet flooring and large plush sofas.
For families that prefer a cosier set-up, the Family Room looks much like the Deluxe Katong, only bigger and with one king-sized bed or two queen-sized beds. This room is perfect for families with two kids.
Despite being surrounded by a dazzling variety of food in the Katong area, the hotel has a hidden dining gem all of its own. The halal-certified Katong Kitchen is a nondescript establishment that offers an impressive spread of International and Peranakan cuisine.
We’re huge seafood lovers, so imagine our delight when we discovered a big seafood table! We could take our pick from snow crabs, prawns, scallops as well as our all-time favourite, OYSTERS.
The Peranakan-inspired selection offers an array of heartwarming food – from Indonesia Gado Gado and a DIY Kueh Pie Tie station to a live Laksa cooking station that serves bowls of aromatic Laksa.
The dessert spread is a feast for the eyes, filled to the brim with Rainbow Kueh, Mango Sticky Rice in shot glasses (we know, how novel is that!) and cute little petite tarts. The highlight of the spread is the hotel’s famous Durian Pengat, which is made fresh daily from actual durian flesh.
We’re not fans of durian so we didn’t try this particular dish, but we’ve heard many rave reviews about it!
One really cool thing is the option to make your own Affogato! An ice-cream booth is tucked away in one corner of the buffet spread, and offers instructions on how to DIY your own creamy bowl of coffee-vanilla goodness. Needless to say, we had lots of fun with this and weren’t able to stop at just one serving!
Buffet breakfast is served here as well, and we especially like how the spread contains both Asian and Western options. Our advice for you is to go slow; you wouldn’t want to fill up too fast without trying a little of everything!
The hotel is home to an outdoor swimming pool, which offers a tranquil spot to spend an afternoon. Grab the chance to have a languid float, or build up that sun-kissed look. There are towels and bottles of water provided at the poolside, which we think is a very nice touch.
The gym is located right next to the pool, and contains a large range of equipment suitable for any kind of workout. The best part is that it’s opened round the clock!
Exclusively for Club Room and Suite guests, the Club Lounge is a peaceful refuge where Club Guests can enjoy free-flow evening cocktails from 6-8pm daily, as well as all-day light refreshments. We couldn’t stop running our hands over the various ornaments and Peranakan decor; everything was just so beautiful!
The Club Lounge is a zone where guests can enjoy some peace and quiet. Take a browse through the many magazines on offer, or bring your laptop to surf the Internet.
Upon check-in, we were presented with this spiffy little Village Passport. We were astounded to discover the wealth of information within this little booklet – it contained information on what to eat and see in the vicinity of the hotel, as well as a detailed map of the area. This is basically all you need to explore the treasure trove of local experiences that surround the hotel! Check out ‘The Area’ section for more detailed information.
We came across a self-serve kiosk at the Village Hotel Katong’s lobby, and couldn’t wait to try it! Checking in via this machine was a breeze, and will allow you to skip the queue during peak hours. Should you be stuck, simply ask any staff for help and they’d be more than willing to extend a helping hand.
This is a really fun activity to do; get your hands busy with dumpling making, beading and cooking during a workshop held at Kim Choo. The best part? You’re even able to bring back your own dumpling for lunch! Do note that this is an additional activity, and not one that is included in any of Village Hotel Katong’s staycation packages.
There’s just so much to do in the area surrounding the hotel, we guarantee that you won’t be bored! Armed with the Village Passport, we set out to discover what exactly lay in store.
Having a steaming bowl of Katong Laksa in Katong is basically one of the most quintessential experiences of a staycation at Village Hotel Katong. Pair your bowl with a tangy Otak, some steaming Dim Sum or a refreshing cup of lime juice.
Rumah Bebe resides in a striking turquoise shophouse adorned with intricate flower motifs and sparkling paint designs. The Rumah Bebe history dates back to 1995, selling beaded masterpieces and heritage products. The boutique shophouse also sells various Peranakan-inspired foods, including Beef Rendang, Sambal Buah Keluak, Sugee-Almond Cake and Coconut Candy.
Traditional coffee shop by day and bar at night, Alibabar the Hawker Bar is a perennial favourite among those who frequent the Katong area. The place becomes especially crowded during live screenings of football matches!
If you’re yearning for a late morning snack, head to Chin Mee Chin Confectionery for a traditional breakfast of toasted Kaya sandwiches, soft-boiled eggs and silky egg tarts. Do be warned that the goodies often sell out by late afternoon, due to the morning crowds.
Located just across the road from Village Hotel Katong lies Parkway Parade, a shopping mall that contains a truckload of shops.
Shop till you drop and refuel at Chicken Up, a popular Korean outlet that serves an Instagram-worthy Watermelon Soju, as well as chicken wings and Bulgogi Fries.
If, however, you’re reluctant to wander too far off from the hotel, journey along a connecting passageway to Katong V.
Stock up on snacks at the NTUC Finest supermarket, or venture a little down the road to I12 Katong, which houses a Golden Village cinema with a Peranakan-inspired interior.
Be spoilt for choice with a range of authentic experiences that cater to your every need. We believe that the choice of accommodation can either make or break a trip, and we're here to help you pick the best place to stay at.

The Hidden Power Social Media Can Provide in Rhode Island Divorce Cases.
Today everyone from adults to pre-teenagers has cellular phones, tablets, iPods, laptops and every other kind of hand-held or desktop device known to man within their reach. Communication is now fast and easy and it is all too easy to post something in the blink of an eye without even thinking to Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus, Linkedin, Instagram and any other social media platform or app that exists out there. Yet with all this great speed of communication and information come the corresponding challenges that people don't even think about before pressing the send key and making a post or sending a communication.
Social media has become a virtual playground for attorneys and pro-se litigants in divorces to find the ammunition they may need to present as evidence before the courts, or in the very least gain leverage against their spouse.
There's a great deal of truth in the notion that once you put something out on the internet you can never truly get rid of it. Even if you post something on Facebook or in Google Text Chat and later delete it, is it really gone? The answer might surprise you. These days social media companies that provide these wonderful communications tools and apps don't want their services and their servers to go down so they back up frequently. Even if you think you've deleted something permanently on a social media platform the truth is that it's probably not gone and with the right savvy and sometimes a carefully worded subpoena to the company a person can resurrect that little trinket that could help them in a divorce.
Your spouse has been distant for quite some time and is constantly on Facebook. Your accounts are connected and you don't see anything out of the ordinary for your spouse's posts but your spouse is on Facebook for long periods of time. Something doesn't feel right to you. Suddenly you are served with a divorce action and your spouse deletes their Facebook account.
You decide to get a divorce lawyer and you tell the lawyer your suspicions. The lawyer ultimately checks the Facebook pages of a few of the people your spouse knows at work and suddenly conversations of other people talking about how much time your spouse is spending with "so and so" and what might be going on. The lawyer checks to find a Facebook page for "so and so" and there are posts about how much time the person has been spending with your spouse and how wonderful a relationship they have. The lawyer notices that the dates are more than two years old and finds comments by your spouse that were probably once in your spouse's Facebook account. The lawyer digitally copies every page and reference and may even make a screen capture movie to preserve what is written online in case anything else is deleted or made "private" to prevent it from being seen in the future. The lawyer then prints out all the pages with the dates. Your lawyer calls you in to let you know what has been found and explain to you what affect it might have in your divorce proceeding. You want more information so your divorce lawyer starts drafting up subpoenas for people and Facebook to produce documents and digital information.
People make social media posts, send texts, chat and email without even thinking. In past days you could control information if it were contained on paper. You could know where the original was and who might have copies. Today, the digital age has shown us that for the techno-savvy person or attorney, virtually nothing comes with out a trail, and nothing is truly deleted. The question is whether you can find it.
My divorce is almost finished. When can I introduce the person I'm dating to my children?
QUESTION: I filed for divorce from my spouse and it was granted. About 10 days after my Rhode Island divorce hearing I met someone and we have been seeing each other frequently for the last month. When can I introduce this new friend to my children?
ANSWER: If you're looking for a basic legal answer then my advice would be that you should stop seeing this person until your divorce is done. This is not because I don't believe you have a right to be happy. If you do not have a Final Judgment in your divorce case then it is not prudent for you to date another person because you are still married and your spouse and/or your spouse's lawyer can delay you from getting a Final Judgment of Divorce from issuing for an extensive amount of time.
Now you might wonder, what would my spouse have to do? Only two things 1) be upset at you, and 2) file a motion of any kind. Of course you know your spouse better than I do. However, in my history as a lawyer I have seen things that you could not make up in your wildest nightmares happen from presumably reasonable and respectful parties in a divorce.
It is very, very easy for a spouse to be upset that you have moved on from your marriage before it is even over. Many spouses, both men and women, find that the other spouse dating before their marriage is even over to be insulting, degrading, hurtful and angering to say the least. All it takes is a little bit of anger for your spouse to file a motion in the family court. What kind of motion? Any kind of motion! All it takes is a pending motion before the court filed sometime near the date when the Final Judgment can be signed in order to prevent the court from finalizing your divorce. Suddenly a divorce that you thought was almost over may now go on for month after month and possibly motion after motion so that you are still married to your spouse. If your spouse knows or even suspects that you are dating someone then it is very easy to file a motion to restrain and enjoin you from having the children around anyone you may be dating as long as the divorce is still going on. If that motion is granted and your spouse is still angry, hurt or in the least bit upset, it is very easy for your spouse to want to keep the divorce going as long as possible so that you can't have the children around the person you are dating. Frankly, it isn't worth it. Better be safe than sorry. In the scope of a lifetime it is better to wait a few months than to suffer for another year or more.
I realize this is not the crux of your question, but it was worth stating it because it goes hand in hand with the more important answer. Introducing your children to someone you are dating is no small matter. Legally, until you are prohibited from doing so you could introduce the children to the person you are dating anytime you want. The question is whether or not that is truly best for your children. Many children have a hard time dealing with the divorce of their parents, especially if they are five years of age or more when they start making the identification of their parents as a couple.
The parents are typically the foundation that keeps the children consistent because the child knows they can rely on their parents as a team to keep their world together because they can depend on them to be there. While divorce is a reality for many married couples in the psyche of a child a divorce can often signify the destruction of their stability. Each child is different. Each child's feelings and age should be considered. The amount of time you have been separated should be factored in. The children need to get used to the idea that the parents will no longer be living under the same roof. The children need to be supported by both parents so that the children realize that their stability in having two parents is still present after the parents are no longer living together with them in the same household.
Once the children have adjusted to the idea that their parents will still provide them with stability even if they are not in the same household, it is my humble opinion that then you might slowly introduce a person that you have been dating to the children so long as that person has been a stabilizing factor in your life. Remember, that any new person you introduce to your children needs to be a stabilizing factor for them. If you haven't been with this person long enough to establish a solid, strong, stable and loving relationship with the person, then how can you expect this person to be safe to introduce to your children who are in a much more fragile emotional and mental state?
Most certainly this last part sounds more like counseling advice and is more appropriate to come from a counselor who deals with children of divorce. However, my comments are from direct experience in my own life and in the lives of hundreds of clients over the years.
Personally, I was divorcing before I became a lawyer. I made virtually every mistake that I mention here and I paid a price that no parent should ever have to bear. I wish I had known today what I know now and I regret deeply when a client of mine pays the price because they choose to ignore my advice.
So if you are to remember anything, I ask you to remember one thing. Your relationship with your children is fragile. One poor decision on your part and you might never see your child(ren) again.
You Don't Need a RI Divorce Lawyer Because the Court Gives You the Questions?
If you've been over to any one of the Rhode Island Family Courts and picked up a divorce packet you will find that the packet now includes a set of questions that you should know the answer to if your represent yourself in an uncontested divorce.
Believe it or not, the questions for some of the packets have been created by the court. So why should you need a lawyer if you've supposedly agreed upon everything with your spouse and the court supplies you questions that have been written up by an actual judge, right?
The answer is actually simple and yet it's significance is so important that it would be easy for you to overlook. It's this simple. A divorce is about your legal rights and protecting those rights in the divorce process. However, it is not the role of the list of questions in your packet or even the judge in the courtroom on the day of your hearing to protect your rights. So you may be wondering, who protects my rights? If you go in representing yourself, then YOU DO! So the question is, do you know your rights and do you know how to protect them. The fact is that most people don't know their legal rights and they don't know how to protect them when the need arises.
So why do they give you sample hearing questions at all in your divorce packet, right? Well, you have the constitutional right to represent yourself. Unfortunately too many people are going into court because they don't want to hire a lawyer or even go get legal advice and guidance to protect their rights. Yet when people don't know what they are doing they screw up the court's calendar with the time they spend floundering around trying to figure out what to do. So, they give you sample questions to make it easier for you so that you're less likely to waste the court's time and thus this helps them get another case off the judge's docket.
So in a nutshell, the court gives you questions as a guide only. Yet those questions don't tell you your legal rights and the court isn't responsible for telling you your legal rights. The questions are generic and they do not address every thing you may have rights to in your case.
Ultimately, it's up to you if you choose to represent yourself and play games with your rights. The judges must hear about certain things in order to make their decisions. The questions cover those things. However, even in simple divorces many people have issues that are outside the questions the court provides. The thing to remember is this. When you go to court and represent yourself in your own divorce, you are playing lawyer as if you knew your rights and knew how to protect them. If you miss something or screw up a right that you might have had, then that's your problem. You may or may not have the opportunity to go back and correct it later, if you know how and you do it in time. There are some rights that people don't realize that they only get one shot at. If you blow it, you have no one to blame except yourself.
A qualified divorce and family law lawyer protects your legal rights when they represent you. In the very least you should go to such a lawyer to get advice about your divorce, your rights and how to proceed. Yet if you don't do that you can't come back to the court later and blame the judge, or the clerk or the people who hand out the packets with the questions in them.
Personally, I think putting the questions in divorce packets is a bad idea. This is not because I believe lawyers should get more business. It is because people now are of the belief that because they have questions from the court that the questions are all they need and that these questions along with the judge protect their rights. That is absolutely incorrect! Neither the questions nor the judge do anything to protect your rights.
Do yourself a favor! If you and your spouse have children, assets or debts then go see a qualified divorce lawyer if you are going to go through a divorce proceeding. I hear people represent themselves and make mistakes in their own divorce every month that were preventable. Don't allow yourself to be a victim of the system.
Equality and Father's Rights: The Rhode Island Family Court Needs to Catch Up!
It's supposed to be a world of equality where men and women are treated equally under the same circumstances. Yet, unless you reach an agreement with your spouse in a divorce that both parents will enjoy shared placement and equal time with the Minor Children, typically the result is anything but fair for the father. The vast majority of the time the mother becomes the placement parent either because the court makes that decision after trial or the father may choose that it is not in his children's best interests to go through a custody battle where heightened tensions between the parents which spill over to the children. It's extremely rare that the father ends up as the placement parent even if he is the best qualified parent to end up with placement of the children.
Why? There still exists this underlying notion that a mother of children has a special bond with children because she carried the child within her, or because mothers are presumed by their very nature to be more nurturing than men. Thus a conclusion is too often made that children should be with a mother because she is the nurturer. This reasoning of course has no basis in fact but rather comes about because of societal notions of the man as the "bread winner" and the woman as the one who "cares for the household and the children." It is an antiquated notion to say the least in today's society.
Equality for fathers in the Rhode Island family court system is sorely lacking when it comes to placement of children when faced with antiquated concepts such as "giving birth to the child" and the presumption of "superior maternal nurturing." After practicing exclusively in the family courts for 16 years I have seen fathers relegated to an "extra" whose rights as a parent are relegated to a part-time babysitter. Fathers who during a marriage were an integral part of their children's lives are now typically given "every other weekend" and "one evening during the week" to exercise as their "parenting time." This is true even though these father's once spent every weekend and sometimes every evening with their children. In family court mediation fathers are often told, "father's typically get every other weekend and one night a week" which is sometimes used to justify that a father should be happy if he gets an extra evening conceded to by the mother of the children. In one case I recall a client walking out of mediation only to breakdown and cry on me in the parking lot. When I inquired about it he said that he told the mediator that he spent more time with the children than the mother but when he told the mediator he wouldn't settle for anything less than equal time with their children he was told by the mediator "It's never going to happen."
Regardless of whether a mother be awarded placement of the children or not, the family court is seldom the place where fathers get the equity they deserve. While equitable does not mean equal, it begs the question as to why men who as fathers in an intact family have equal rights with the mother, yet when there is a divorce they are denied the time with their children that they previously had regardless of who filed for or who caused the breakdown of the divorce.
How is it that in severing the marital contract fathers rights are somehow reduced to less than the time they had with their children? Most assuredly in many cases this is not only penalizing the father but the children as well. Most certainly the court does not take the position that in a divorce a party who makes a claim or counterclaim for divorce is also divorcing the children and yet the reduction in a father's rights in our courts seems to give evidence that a father who is not a placement parent is, in fact, divorcing himself to some degree from his children.
Yet admittedly there are many cases that are settled by agreement of the parties. In these cases, surely the court should bear no fault for fathers having reduced time with their children if these men agree to that arrangement. This was something I have pondered at length and it is something that deserves response if only to understand why our legal system needs to change.
In many agreed upon cases before the court, through public or private mediation, or by virtue of the assistance of attorneys, it is the too often the repeated standard to fathers that they will usually only receive "every other weekend and one evening per week" that becomes the crux of the problem. This is because it is this very unwritten standard that causes the injustice. This unwritten standard is the responsibility not simply of the Family Court, but of the entire judiciary.
Where this standard came from and why it has been used and in existence for the entirety of my 16 year divorce practice is beyond comprehension. Yet simply put, if there is to be any standard at all it should be the presumption that each parent is entitled to equal time with the children and any reduction for either party should be addressed from there. Without setting this as the beginning point, this unwritten standard continues to devalue fathers and wrongfully remove them from their children's lives when they may well have been active participants in their children's daily lives. To do anything less is to deprive fathers of not only their rights but serves to punish the children of the relationship and create too great an opportunity for the ever growing problem of parental alienation which threatens to destroy the family unit.
As a father, I was subject to this "every other weekend and one evening per week" standard 18 years ago before I was an attorney. If there is to be true justice and equality on the issues in the family court at all father's rights need to be recognized before this court not by some amorphous standard that has no basis in law or in fact, but with the understanding that without fathers the child would not exist and that without the father in the life of the child both the father and child are denied the enrichment that is necessary to provide a balanced life, especially for the children.
Fathers need to know that they do not have to simply accept the trademark unwritten standard for a father's parenting time, but rather they should be aware that they have the right to fight for equal time with their children either by placement or through extensive parenting schedules.

9. Why do the fees for divorces vary so much?
Answer: Every attorney is different just as every case is different. The more experienced an attorney is the more likely it is that the attorney may charge more for his or her services. The more complicated the case is or the more difficult your spouse is, the more time and effort it may take on your attorney's part and therefore it could cost more.
10. What is an Uncontested Divorce?
Answer: Generally, many lawyers consider an uncontested divorce one in which the parties have already reached a fundamental agreement that resolves all aspects of the dissolution of their marriage before the divorce filing takes place. It is typically a divorce in which neither party files any motions or sends out any documents known as "discovery."
Answer: The law provides for different legal tools that can be used in a case to essentially "discover" the important aspects of the case before it goes to trial or in order to evaluate settlement offers from an informed position. The primary legal tools are interrogatories, requests for production of documents and things, requests for admissions, depositions and subpoenas. | 2019-04-21T09:14:00 | https://www.rhodeislanddivorcetips.com/2016/02/index.html |

An in-depth interview with Sabine Kraft, who recently took over the reins as Chair of the International Board of Trustees of the International Children's Palliative Care Network.
Q: What is your present job title and can you describe your role within your organisation?
SK: I am the CEO of the national association of children’s hospices in Germany. My role is defined by the statutes and the mission statement of the charity. Therefore, our priorities are around information, advocacy and advice and support to children's hospice initiatives and children's hospice services. Above all, at the centre of our activities are the families and their children with life-threatening and life limiting diseases.
We achieve our ‘information to the public’ goals through a strong public presence, through events for the public and the families and through publications; our service mentality and helpline for professionals, families with sick children and people in bereavement who lost a child. Advocacy is a great part of our tasks, we lobby on all levels, in politics and with health insurances to ameliorate the support for child hospice organisations.
I am responsible for all activities, for the development of standards in the child hospice field, for the introduction of quality measurements, and finally, the biggest challenge, to find supporters and donors, to finance all our activities.
Q: Please would you tell us a little about yourself?
SK: Work is my passion, family my life! I live together with my partner in a small village in the black forest. We have two grown up children living with us, a daughter of 17 and a son of 19. Both still go to school, but have learnt to adapt to our busy lives.
We also share the house with the mother of my partner, who had a stroke three years ago. She lost her speech and she cannot move her right arm and leg. Therefore, we experience for ourselves how challenging it is to feel responsible and to organize care for a family member with massive handicaps. My partner is a very loving son for his mother and takes very good care of her.
My biological and beloved daughter lives close to us in Freiburg. She followed my steps to Northern Ireland and gave birth to a very tiny girl, Matilda, three years ago. The ‘wee’ child is the joy of the whole family. She is healthy, despite only weighing 1200 grams at birth. She is a bit spoilt and – maybe due to the prematurity – also very determined! She was blessed with a brother, Leander, just 2 months ago, healthy and heavy and very relaxed. A wonderful grandson for us.
And finally, my greatest friend and joy for the last 10 years, my dog Polly, who listened to all the stories about sick children and just everything that moved my mind, had to leave me only a few weeks ago. I miss her so much and yet, my job is so demanding and involves so much travelling that I just must be sensible and wait until I retire to find a new friend.
If somebody would ask me, what I like doing, I would answer – spending time with my family – picnicking in nature, walking and enjoying the peace around me. I always find solutions when I walk; just walk and walk and walk.
Q: What drew you to work in the field of children’s palliative care, what motivates you to continue and how long have you worked in the field?
SK: As a social worker I experienced working with children in many different fields. I started in a children’s home, then kindergarten, then youth club and finally in a family planning organisation. I met women and families who had to decide on continuing pregnancy with a severely handicapped foetus.
About 15 years ago my nephew died at only 2,5 years of age. Lovis was a lovely and healthy boy and he just died. This trauma motivated me to get involved in palliative care for children. There was no help available in Germany, no specialised group, just nothing but the helplessness of the whole family. When this happened, it turned my life upside down.
It took me one year to reflect on my attitude towards dying and I finally realised that this was a subject I have been growing up with. At the same time, I started counselling a children's hospice project until the advertisement for the freelance post of CEO for the national association of children’s hospices just caught my heart and soul. There was the light, the passion, the job of my life - and it still is.
Q: Can you describe what it meant to you to be invited to take over as Chair of the ICPCN Board of Trustees?
SK: Somehow or another, I always felt that it could not be true. How can I be chosen for an important role like this? I am only a social worker, not a doctor or a nurse. It was such an honour therefore, and I am struggling to find the right way to contribute. However, I just will give my utmost to do a good job – and as you know – I am used to big challenges – remember the ghost who motivates me!
Q:You have been with ICPCN since its inception in 2005. What role do you believe the organisation has in the development and growth of children’s palliative care globally?
SK: When I joined the ICPCN, I did so because I am convinced that children in such difficult situations must have a strong lobby. And children are children, anywhere in the world. They have the same rights. And when children are weak, they have even more rights to be supported. It takes global advocacy to develop a sensibility towards the weakest ones of our society. And how else can we make a difference, if not when we act in solidarity all over the world?
ICPCN has raised a great deal of awareness, has helped initiatives to change the world around them. Only a global player like the ICPCN can reach out to the whole world to make it a better world for the estimated 21 million children without adequate palliative care. I do believe that information, education and advocacy must be centralised to enable us to reach out. We are one world, and children are children, no matter where they are born and what they are born into. And we all can do something to make it better – just do one thing for the 21 million children!
Q: What would you like to see ICPCN achieve as an organisation going forward?
SK: ICPCN must become known everywhere in the world. With our online courses on paediatric palliative care we have made a good start, yet, we still have to struggle to finance everything. ICPCN should become the CHANGE ORGANISATION concerning children’s palliative care. In the best case, we become the central competence organisation where people from all over the world can turn to in order to find support. Every government and their health departments in particular, should know about us and ask members of the ICPCN to support them in political health decisions about palliative care.
And, although this all sounds like a dream, things can only change if we believe in dreams. And while writing this, one could go even further into the ‘dream world’ and wish that an organisation like the ICPCN will make itself ‘redundant’. This would be the greatest fulfilment – no more sick children who must die far too early! | 2019-04-23T08:09:08 | http://bundesverband-kinderhospiz.de/icpcn-news/814-an-interview-with-sabine-kraft-icpcn%E2%80%99s-new-chair-of-the-board-of-trustees |
PRINCE GEORGE, B.C. — A woman shot by police three times in an armed standoff in eastern British Columbia has been given a conditional sentence because the Crown says she was also a victim.
A Prince George Court heard that 24-year-old Shanna Buehler and her father, John, holed up in a trapper’s cabin near Valemount, B.C., for 10 days in September 2014, refusing to come out for police.
RCMP shot and killed John Buehler when he turned his rifle on the officers.
The B.C. Supreme Court heard on Monday that the man was violent and abusive to the young woman throughout her life and dragged her into the difficult and tragic situation.
Crown counsel Geoffery McDonald told the court that the woman’s father beat her with a belt and forced her to hold liquid soap in her mouth.
“In one instance, he apparently beat a pet to death with a hoe,” McDonald said.
During the time they lived on a rented property in Valemount, John Buehler allowed her to leave the home just six times and only under careful supervision. She was denied access to newspapers, television and any outside contact, McDonald said.
On Sept. 17, 2014, the Buehlers drove all-terrain vehicles about two kilometres away from a cabin they had been holed up in and an RCMP emergency response team moved in to prevent them from returning to the property.
When police confronted the pair, the court heard, John Buehler was shot, while his daughter retreated and placed her .22-calibre rifle next to a log not far from her.
Officers found her crouched behind the log and she initially complied with police orders to stand up, but then grabbed the rifle and was shot three times by police, the court heard.
Two of the gunshot wounds were superficial but one entered her chest, striking her lung and her liver. She remained in hospital for six weeks and continues to suffer the effects as well as some post-traumatic stress, the court heard.
After her release, she turned herself into police and was released on a recognizance which she has obeyed ever since. She pleaded guilty to three charges in connection to the standoff.
Although Buehler participated in a lengthy armed standoff with police, “in many ways she is a victim of John Buehler as well,” McDonald told the judge.
“We would not expect someone who had been abused and controlled and manipulated from early childhood to be able to exercise an independent mind and step clear,” he added.
Justice Kenneth Ball accepted a joint submission from Crown and defence lawyers, and sentenced Buehler to 18 months probation. If she lives up to the terms and conditions, she will avoid having a criminal record.
“This was obviously a very difficult and tragic incident brought about by what appears to have been the bizarre beliefs of John Buehler who unfortunately dragged his daughter along for the ride,” Ball said.
Buehler, who now lives in Alberta, remained quiet throughout the hearing, occasionally wiping away a tear as her mother looked on from the gallery.

Do you have frequent dreams of losing your teeth? If you do, you are not alone as this is one of the most popular dreams that people have and it tends to be reoccurring.
Are you a nail biter? Do you find yourself chewing your nails or opening packages with your teeth? These are bad habits that can cause an issue for your teeth in the long run.
As we age, tooth enamel starts wearing down from use, especially on our front teeth. This leaves us susceptible to chipping the enamel on those teeth more easily, so when we do apply force in that area, you could possibly cause damage.
Is your child active in sports at school or recreational activities? If they are, then your child needs a mouthguard and you will want to make sure that he/she is protected not only from the sport itself, but what can happen to their mouths if there is a mishap. Mouth protection is just as important as shoulder pads and shin guards — and a mouthguard should be worn to protect the chompers.
Mouthguards are a great way to help prevent damaged teeth and nerves and possibly losing a tooth! They work by covering all of your teeth (usually on your upper arch) with a fitted plastic material and absorb the pressure from a hit to the mouth. | 2019-04-20T14:31:50 | http://blog.szmandadental.com/2014/08/ |

The materials used in its construction also influence the personality of your executive desk. The most common material used is real wood veneer. This might be surprising to you because most people think that solid wood is the best. However, veneer, such as cherry or mahogany, often looks better than solid wood because of the way it is cut. In addition, solid wood often warps or splits with changes in humidity while a veneer covering medium density fiberboard or MDF will not. Hard and exotic woods are the most common for the wood veneers of executive desks. Examples include cherry, teak, walnut, maple, ash, oak, birds eye maples, or sapeli pommele. Depending on the color scheme of your office and other furniture, you should pick a wood that reflects those choices.
Office desks must be utilitarian and at the same time blend well with the office environment. They must be subtle so as not to stand out within the office`s confines. Most office desks are painted in subtle colors such as grey, black, blue, and white. However, modern offices have been known to experiment with their office furniture in both pattern and color, and hence newer office desks are much different than their earlier counterparts.

I just read that HTC will release a new mobile phone in the Touch-series before Christmas, HTC Touch HD. This model is abit bigger than the Touch Diamond, about the same size as the iPhone, but with a 480×800 display. The new model will include all features as the Touch Diamond, but also a microSD memory card slot, 5 megapixel camera, 1350 mAh battery and a 3.5mm headphone plug.
If all this is correct I’m pretty sure this will be my next phone, since it has the things the Touch Diamond lacked. This is a very interesting phone, I just hope it isn’t too big and heavy. Me wants!

LONDON - The unnamed insiders who claim to be working clandestinely to resist Donald Trump are not heroes. As a State Department whistleblower who lost his career to tell the truth about the Iraq War, I am burdened by how the interviewees in Bob Woodward’s new book, “Fear,” and the anonymous writer of that New York Times “resistance” op-ed are hailed as patriots holding back the U.S. president’s worst impulses through fibs and bureaucratic tricks. Having faced similar choices, I know their approach is neither honorable, nor effective.
This is not to support robotic bureaucrats. But ideas, no matter how vigorously opposed, at some point change from being Trump’s or President Barack Obama’s policies to those of the U.S. Implementing them on a global scale, whether on a battlefield or across a negotiating table, is a team sport. Any other way is to bring on the chaos Anonymous claims to be pushing back against.
I served 24 years in such a system, joining the State Department under President Ronald Reagan and leaving during the Obama era. That splay of political ideologies had plenty of things in it to disagree with or even believe dangerous. Same for people in the military and the intelligence agencies, who, for example, were sent to train Afghan mujaheddin under one president and then kill them under another.
In the run-up to the invasion of Iraq in 2003, some inside government were privy to information about the nonpresence of weapons of mass destruction, and understood President George W. Bush was exaggerating or lying about the case for war. Three senior officials resigned from the State Department in response. Another State Department official, a former marine, resigned in protest over the war in Afghanistan. He stated in The New York Times (a signed letter, not an anonymous op-ed) “have tried and failed to reconcile my conscience with my ability to represent the current U.S. administration.” More than a decade earlier, four State Department officials quit over the Bosnian conflict, also via public letters of resignation.
Others who believed a president’s decisions were harmful to the U.S. blew the whistle, making public specific evidence at the cost of their jobs and/or freedom to build an evidence-based case. Chelsea Manning spent seven years in prison for leaking classified data, Edward Snowden ended up in exile after informing the public of NSA policies threatening constitutional freedoms. For me, I chose to write “We Meant Well” to expose the failed reconstruction efforts in Iraq I once helped lead, and had to end my work as a diplomat in return.
Disagreements over policy are not unique to the Trump administration. Nor are questions of competence. Reagan was thought to be senile, George W. Bush a dolt. But challenges to conscience should be answered by good people who believe enough in the U.S. to place their lives, fortunes and honor as collateral toward being listened to, not by working from inside government to surreptitiously ruin policy.
Anonymous claims insiders are disrupting Trump’s excesses without giving any details; we’re to assume whatever they are doing must be better than anything Trump wants. Woodward reports that Defense Secretary Jim Mattis put a Resistance-like stop to Trump’s demand to assassinate Syrian President Bashar Assad, though Mattis denies it. Of course, the order to kill, if it occurred at all, would have been illegal and thus require anyone in government to refuse it.
About the only actual act of “resistance” to examine comes from Woodward’s book. Gary Cohn, Trump’s former economic adviser, supposedly walked into the Oval Office and snatched a letter off Trump’s desk saying the U.S. was pulling out of a trade agreement with South Korea. Cohn thus stopped Trump from signing the document.
The story defies credulity. “Decision papers” needing the president’s signature are tracked assiduously by White House staffers. Stuff doesn’t just go missing from the Oval Office, and if it does, someone looks for it; I know, I held just such a job working for the American ambassador in London. It’s like tearing up a credit card bill thinking the debt will go away.
But even accepting Cohn pulled off his heist, is protecting a trade agreement the act of resistance America demands? Reading the actual letter, Trump’s intent was to make a threat of withdrawal, taking advantage of an 180-day delay in implementation to force new negotiations. Cohn didn’t agree with his boss (or the results of an election). That’s not patriotic, it’s a disgruntled employee.
As to the claims Trump is uniquely too stupid to be president, White House Chief of Staff John Kelly, like Mattis, denies he said anything of that to Woodward. Nor is there any evidence that Trump is so incapacitated by either insanity or lack of intellect that he should be removed from office under the 25th Amendment — an option raised in the anonymous op-ed as well as Michael Wolff’s book “Fire and Fury” earlier this year.
It’s all circular reinforcement, unnamed voices repeating things heard before, backed by psychiatrists who never met the president and enhanced by shock-jock pundits reading tweets like a fortune teller reads goat entrails.
Until now, the people working for presidents as different as Reagan was from Obama understood, as I did, the only way for America to function credibly was for insiders to work on the nation’s behalf until we couldn’t. That meant following the constitution, remembering we weren’t the ones elected, that we ultimately worked for those who did the electing, that there is no “But Reagan/Bush/Clinton/Bush/Obama/Trump is different …” clause in the constitution. We understood acting as a wrench inside the gears of government is what foreign intelligence officers recruit American officials to do. Instead, we dissented via internal channels, and sometimes, resigned to credibly force the issue into the public eye.
So let the people inside government who believe America is at mortal risk do something more than gossip to a celebrated journalist. They need to resign, testify and bring out the documents as proof to separate themselves from partisan operatives.
Until any of that happens, we shouldn’t waste another moment on anonymous resisters and unnamed/uncredible sources. The nation is more important than a job in the West Wing. Stand up if the threat is real, shut up if it’s not. | 2019-04-20T10:26:13 | https://www.japantimes.co.jp/opinion/2018/09/14/commentary/world-commentary/anonymous-insider-trump-resisters-not-heroes/ |
How do I determine the correct size student instrument?
• Violin/Viola: Place the instrument under the chin in playing position. The instrument is the proper size if the palm and fingers of the performers left hand, with arm extended but elbow relaxed, can comfortably cup the scroll.
• Cello: Seat the student so that the knees are bent at a 90-degree angle. The upper rim of the instrument should rest on the sternum (breast bone) and the left knee should contact the curve below the lower bout corner. The neck of the cello should be a few inches from the performers shoulder, and the C string peg should be near the left ear. The students left hand should be able to reach both ends of the fingerboard with ease, and the first and fourth fingers of the left hand should be able to span a major third in 1st position (E to G# on the D string).
• Bass: With the student standing behind the bass in playing position, the fingerboard nut should be opposite the forehead near eye level. The right hand should be able to comfortably draw the bow from the frog to the tip. The first and fourth fingers of the left hand should be able to span a whole tone in 1st position (E to F# on the D string).
The chart below is a general guide based on age of the student.
*Subject to developmental variations among children of the same age.
How do I care for my Becker instrument?
• Keep the instrument clean. Wipe the body of the instrument, fingerboard and strings with a soft cloth after use. Do not clean the instrument with alcohol or water as these can cause damage to the wood and varnish.
• Do not subject the instrument to sudden changes in temperature, humidity or prolonged sunlight. Do not leave it in a car for any length of time and keep it away from heaters and air conditioning vents.
• Let the instrument have time to adjust to changes in temperature or humidity before opening the case.
• Handle the instrument by the neck and chinrest to minimize wear on the varnish.
• When tuning the instrument, gently twist the peg inward toward the pegbox to ensure good contact with the peg hole.
• Never over tighten a string to stretch it. Tighten it to pitch and no higher.
• Since the top of the bridge has a tendency to pull forward when strings are tightened, check that the back of the bridge remains perpendicular to the top of the instrument and that the bridge feet remain flush against the instrument.
• Use a soft cloth between the instrument and player to help protect the varnish from perspiration. Be aware that buttons and jewelry can cause damage to the instrument.
• Do not loosen the strings after playing.
• Remove the shoulder rest or shoulder pad from a violin or viola before placing it back in the case.
• Do not hang an instrument from a music stand or leave it on a chair. Return it to its case or a stringed instrument stand.
• Tighten the chin rest to the instrument with just enough pressure to hold it firmly in place. Too much pressure can cause damage to the instrument.
• Individual instrument humidifiers may be useful in areas of low humidity or during winter months. Use according to directions.
• Check each string adjuster under the tailpiece. Over time the adjuster screw may be turned in as far as it will go which can cause contact with, and damage to, the violin top. Before this occurs, turn the adjustment screw counter-clockwise to a safe level and re-tune the string with the peg.
• Occasionally check the shoulder rest feet to make sure that the rubber tubing has not worn through, which can damage the instrument.
• Periodically check the edges of cellos and basses. Rough edges can splinter when caught on clothing or carpets, causing increased damage to the instrument.
• Strings can be damaged if the grooves in the nut and bridge are not lubricated. To lubricate, use a very soft lead pencil.
• When replacing strings, remove and replace only one string at a time. This will keep pressure on the top of the instrument to prevent the soundpost from falling and will also keep the bridge in the proper position.
• The soundpost is held in place by string pressure. It is never glued into the instrument. If the soundpost falls down, immediately loosen the strings and do not play the instrument. Otherwise, the pressure of the strings could collapse the unsupported top. Take the instrument to a repair shop to have the soundpost refitted.
• If a crack develops or a seam opens up, keep the area clean and take the instrument to a qualified repairperson for repair.
• Do not attempt to adjust, repair or glue an instrument yourself. Take it to a repairperson for periodic check-ups and adjustments to avoid more costly repairs later on.
How do I care for my bow?
• Always hold the bow by the frog. Avoid touching the bow hair with the fingers since the natural oils from the skin prevent the bow hair from holding the rosin.
• Tighten the bow hair to a moderate tension prior to playing so that the curve of the stick remains concave. If you cannot get enough tension by adjusting the screw, the bow hair may need shortening or rehairing.
• Without rosin, the bow will not produce a sound from the instrument. Apply rosin evenly by drawing the bow hair over the rosin in smooth even strokes. Avoid the tendency to over-rosin the bow since too much rosin produces a harsh, coarse tone. It is not necessary to rosin the bow each time the instrument is played.
• Do not attempt to remove excess rosin by striking the bow hair against a hard object or swishing it in the air.
• Always loosen the bow hair after playing. This prevents stretching of the bow hair, reduces warping and helps the stick retains its elasticity.
• Clean the bow stick with a soft clean cloth after each use.
• Some insects and mites are attracted to bow hair. Keep the bow and case off the floor, especially in carpeted areas or closets.
• When the bow hair becomes uneven due to broken hairs the bow is more susceptible to warping. Take it to a repairperson to be rehaired.
• Periodically check the leather thumb grip near the frog and replace as necessary to prevent eroding the stick underneath.
How do I correct slipping or sticking pegs?
In time, normal use will cause the pegs and peg holes to wear. For slipping pegs, apply chalk to the areas of contact between the peg shaft and peg hole to provide more grip. For pegs that stick or are hard to turn, peg dope or soft graphite pencil lead can be applied to the contact areas. Eventually you may need to have replacement pegs fitted by a repairperson.
What if my bridge becomes displaced?
• The lowest side of the bridge fits under the E string on the violin, A string on the viola and cello and G string on the bass.
• With the lowest side of the bridge under the correct string, center the feet of the bridge between the inner notches of the f-holes.
• Position the bridge so that its back is perpendicular to the top of the instrument and the bridge feet fit flush.
What causes an instrument to buzz?
• Too much of the endpin retracted into the instrument on cellos and basses.
• Open seams or cracks in the instrument.
• Worn fingerboards that open up at the base of the neck.
An open seam can be located by holding the instrument by the neck and gently tapping it all around the top and back. Take the instrument to a qualified repairperson for repair. | 2019-04-23T14:09:45 | http://www.beckerinstruments.com/?fa=faq |
After receiving a degree in medicine in 1857, Haeckel obtained a doctorate in zoology from the University of Jena and taught zoology there. Haeckel’s contributions to zoological science were a mixture of sound research and assumptions often with insufficient evidence. He was a renowned figure whose popularity with the public was substantially higher than it was with many of his scientific peers.
Haeckel also proposed the idea that all multicellular animals derived from a theoretical two-layered (ectoderm and endoderm) animal, the Gastraea, a theory that provoked much discussion. He engaged in much valuable research on marine invertebrates, such as the radiolarians, jellyfish, calcareous sponges, and medusae, and wrote a series of monographs on these groups based largely on specimens brought back by the Challenger Expedition.
He was also the first to divide the animal kingdom into unicellular and multicellular animals. An ardent Darwinist, Haeckel made several zoological expeditions and founded the Phyletic Museum at Jena and the Ernst Haeckel Haus, which contains his books, records, and other effects.
An effective popularizer of science, Haeckel produced numerous tree diagrams, showing evolutionary relationships between different species. Modern scientists and science historians have varied on the value of these diagrams but many also praised his work and creativity. Haeckel also produced artwork, much of it quite beautiful, starting with his atlas of radiolarians, published in 1862.
Later in his career, Haeckel produced Art Forms in Nature, a work that he published in a series of 10 installments. Designed to interest the general public in naturalism, Haeckel’s own illustrations of animals, plants and microscopic organisms were introduced. In 1913, he published a set of photographs titled Nature as an Artist, aimed at countering allegations that his illustrations could be misleading. Today, however, many scientists and science historians share the conviction that his images were often highly contrived, beautiful as they may be.
He was one of the first to consider psychology as a branch of physiology. His chief interests lay in evolution and life development processes in general, including development of nonrandom form, which culminated in the beautifully illustrated art forms of nature.
Although Haeckel’s ideas are important to the history of evolutionary theory, and he was a competent invertebrate anatomist most famous for his work many speculative concepts that he championed are now considered incorrect but still he has been admired greatly for his work. | 2019-04-24T22:14:48 | http://100scientists.blogspot.com/2012/10/ernst-haeckel.html |

Ahead of the thrilling climax to the World Cup between France and Croatia, another record relating to the tournament was set in Shanghai, China.
On Sunday 15 July, work by more than half a million people from cities across China culminated in the completion of a giant mosaic to set a new record for CapitaLand Retail of the Largest sticker mosaic (image).
The picture included the "ace" players of 32 teams and their national landmarks in Russia 2018, forming a huge 385.3 m² (4,147 ft² 33 in²) puzzle composed of 154,000 stickers, each measuring 5 cm x 5 cm.
Work on the mosaic started on the opening day of the tournament with the mosaic divided into 35 pieces and sent to CapitaLand shopping malls across the country for people to complete.
The separate pieces were were then delivered to Shanghai for final completion with the final pieces assembled at CapitaLand's Xinzhuang shopping mall in a district of Shanghai on the eve of the World Cup final in Moscow. | 2019-04-18T16:42:34 | http://guinnessworldrecords.com/news/commercial/2018/8/more-than-500-000-people-help-create-worlds-largest-sticker-mosaic-for-the-world-534659 |
Indian, Portuguese, British, and German influences all add a hint of the exotic to the culinary flavors of Tanzania, in addition to the over 120 ethnic tribes that have lived in the country for hundreds of years. Age old African traditional cooking and European flair blend together beautifully to create a unique East African journey through texture and taste that avid foodies just have to try. Here are some of the most memorable and unusual Tanzanian delicacies.
Can’t find the dinner cutlery?
Before getting to the food itself, travelers should be aware that knives and forks don’t feature very prominently at a traditional Tanzanian dinner table. Locals usually eat from a communal dish or dishes, scooping handfuls onto their plates and mopping up sauces with various local breads. It is perfectly acceptable to eat with your fingers and there will always be a water bowl nearby to wash your hands before you dine. The right hand is used to eat, as the left is considered unclean, and traditionally Tanzanians eat sitting on the floor or at a low table.
Monsoon is one of the most popular restaurants on the island of Zanzibar and serves up traditional Swahili flavors with a flair. Floor cushion dining is accompanied by gorgeous, colorful décor, as well as live Taraab music to really set the island scene. Dishes for foodies to try include delicacies such as tasty kebabs served with a mango and papaya salsa, and tender octopus cooked in coconut sauce. Don’t miss out on the cocktails for a perfect night out.
Ugali is considered the national dish of Tanzania and accompanies just about every meal, served alongside meat, fish, veggies, and even beans and sauce. For those not accustomed to eating with their hands, it makes things easier, as the dough can be rolled into a round shape and used to scoop up sauce and other little bits and pieces on a plate. The dough is made from cornflour and water and usually has a thick consistency. It is typically eaten from a bowl shared by everyone at the table.
This is one of the most traditional and delicious meals served in Tanzania and combines the locally grown and easily found ingredients of spinach, tomatoes, onion, and sweet potato leaves. All that is needed is a large pot to cook up the ingredients before adding some peanut butter to create a smooth cream sauce. Makubi is also thought to have health benefits, so there’s a double bonus on the culinary front.
Meat-loving foodies can spend hours in culinary heaven as they roam the food markets of Tanzania. One of the most popular street foods is nyama choma which loosely translates to “grilled meat.” It is prepared by taking freshly cut cubes of meat and slow roasting them on a grid over hot coals. Be warned that the meat is not always fish or chicken, but could also be goat. Often these skewers of succulent, char-grilled meat are served with ugali and a variety of other side dishes. Foodies shouldn’t miss a visit to the Forodhani Gardens in Zanzibar, one of the most popular food markets on the island.
This side dish consists of beans or rice and is usually eaten with meat. Although it may sound pretty normal, it is the infusion of aromatic East African spices that turns it into something special. Cinnamon, cardamom, and cumin seeds add an exotic element, while the rice or beans are cooked in coconut milk or oil, enhancing and enriching the flavors.
This dish is one of the more expensive traditional meals on offer in Tanzania but is packed with flavorful and healthy ingredients. Literally translated, it means “something that is boiled,” but this is no bland, overcooked offering. The specialty dish begins with fish or meat to which a host of other ingredients are added, such as carrots, potatoes, aubergine, cabbage, onions, plantain, peppers, and spices. The large number of elements used in mchemsho accounts for its hefty price tag, but the extra money is worth it.
Chapati is a great accompaniment to any meal and is similar to Indian flatbread or roti, in that it is made using no yeast or baking powder. The unleavened bread is fabulous with curries and stews and is also one of those side dishes that comes in handy when cutlery is not around. Simply tear off pieces to scoop up food and mop sauces off the plate.
Perfect for rounding off a meal without too much sweetness, the East African donut, or mandazi, is a form of fried coconut bread that has a lovely light and fluffy texture and is usually served in a triangle shape. Unlike donuts of the western world, these little treats don’t come layered in icing or sugar so you won’t feel too guilty popping one more into your mouth.
Tea was originally introduced to Tanzania hundreds of years ago by the British, and today the country is one of the largest tea producers in the world. It will come as no surprise then that Tanzanians take their tea drinking rather seriously and numerous tea rooms can be found around the bigger towns. Try the Akberali Tea Room in Dar es Salaam, a great little local hangout that serves a variety of East African specialties. | 2019-04-19T00:18:08 | https://theculturetrip.com/africa/tanzania/articles/unique-things-for-a-foodie-to-do-in-tanzania/ |
Another fantastically well written review of one of my favourite albums by one of my favourite bands. For me, Perfect Prescription will always be their finest hour but there is no doubting the brilliance of Recurring. Thanks for the reminiscence.
Thanks for posting Chris. I appreciate your kind comments. Wondered if I had been as dismissive of the earlier albums as Christgau had been of Recurring. They all have their own strengths of course and we all have our own favourite.
For me, the greatest moment on the album has always been Pete’s “Set Me Free/I’ve Got the Key/Set Me Free (Reprise).” When those tremoloed “oh hoooney” vocals come in after the first chorus… I just melt. Opiates for the eardrums. Anyway, thanks for a great review of an oft unmentioned album. It’s one of those lost classics that deserves more recognition.
David, it’s a beautiful moment; and your rekindling has me racing back to listen again. And again. I should have given it greater recognition – it is indeed (meltingly) gorgeous. Thanks for your post! | 2019-04-22T09:01:25 | https://thenewperfectcollection.com/2015/08/15/spacemen-3-recurring-1991/ |

Not only are there loads of events happening in Charleston this season, but most of them are appropriate and enjoyable for all ages. So swap out the beach towels for a pumpkin-carving kit, and get ready to enjoy the season!
This Charleston favorite is so much more than just a pumpkin patch. Boone Hall is completely transformed during the month of October with a corn maze, jump pillow, giant slide tower, hayride, spider web "rope" attraction, rock climbing wall, corn hole toss, a goat walk, and a rabbit enclosure. Spend the day enjoying all of the attractions, and then take your pumpkins home for painting or carving!
Tickets are $10 (free for 3 and under).
This is the perfect evening for any little ocean-lovers, and a fun option for doing something a bit different this year. On October 23 and 31st the aquarium gets a SpOoKy makeover! Guests are encouraged to wear costumes, and there will be music, games, and festive exhibits. To top it off, there is an "Underwater Pumpkin Carving Contest" where guests get to judge which diver has the best carved pumpkin in the Great Ocean Tank.
We sure do love our festivals here in Charleston - and what's not to love? Food trucks, live music, arts and crafts. Add some crisp autumn weather and a light sweater and we are good to go.
Check out any of these kid-friendly festivals going on this fall!
Not only is the West Farm corn maze a blast for the whole family, each year they raise money and awareness for a different cause. This year they are celebrating Pet Adoption Agencies and will host adoption events and raise funds for different organizations throughout the season. The farm is home to a 2.8 mile corn maze (a .3 mile maze for the younger kids), a pumpkin barn, a hay-bale maze, tire climb, farm zoo, hay ride, apple slingshot, and snack bar/picnic area with different food vendors and trucks.
If you are looking for something festive and spooky without being too scary for young kids, this is the perfect event. With a "haunted" hayride, hay-bale maze, pony rides, face-painting, crafts, children's games, and a family photo booth - you'll find plenty to do.

Vua, a new Vietnamese sandwich shop, opens its first store in downtown Montreal, equipped with Mirada Media digital signage and menu board systems.
Montreal, Quebec, June 8, 2010 – Mirada Media, a Montreal, Quebec-based digital signage integrator, is pleased to announce the recent installation of a digital menu board and signage system at Vua, a new sandwich shop in downtown Montreal. Vua was fitted with a 5-screen menu board, powered by Mirada Media’s new MenuView software, and two client communication boards.
Vua, which literally means “king” in Vietnamese, wants to rule the submarine sandwich market with its value-priced baguettes and novel marketing efforts. “I’m always searching for the best equipment and the newest technological tools to stay ahead of my competition and make a splash with my patrons,” says Mr. Nhu Ngoc Ho, proprietor of the new Vietnamese Bánh Mì sandwich quick-serve. “Mirada Media’s digital menu board is an investment I’m proud of,” he adds.
Four of the five LCD menu screens display menu items with an animated area informing the patrons about product category details, specials, and high-margin items, and inciting them to upgrade to a “combo” meal. The fifth central screen displays a loop of promotional videos to push Vua’s loyalty program, prepared counter items, like sushi, and refreshing smoothies and bubble teas.
The two client communication boards, installed in the restaurant’s dining areas, are divided screens that combine digital cable programming with digital ads. While patrons view local news programming, the ad zones loop many of the promotional messages found on the menu boards.
Vua’s digital signage system is powered by MenuView, Mirada Media’s new Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) offering, that combines standard media and playlist scheduling with item and menu management via an easy to use web interface. “Restaurants have special digital signage needs,” says Eric Morello, Marketing director at Mirada Media Inc. “Given that requests for digital menu boards are ever-increasing and that we’ve built so many custom modules, it followed naturally for us to package these into a single content management system.” A new MenuView website, http://www.menuview.com, will launch this summer, providing customers with a menu board configuration platform and menu management demos.
Always looks good in restaurants and places like that. Looks much more professional. | 2019-04-21T02:20:46 | https://www.miradamedia.com/blog/en/news/vua-sandwich-shop-digital-menu-board-installation |
Blog marketing is certainly something that many anyone that provides a blog can easily do. Nevertheless , can only anyone that is the owner of a weblog do it and do it effectively so that it gets results? Yes, just about anyone with a little bit of internet knowledge and common sense can easily market a blog so that it will get the results that you will be looking for.

This will allow you to learn just what it takes and what it is information about to keep up a blog. When you are just writing your thoughts and what is in your thoughts, you have nothing to lose and nothing to gain. You don’t even need to make your weblog public unless you want other folks to read whatever you have to say. This is a personal inclination. However , doing this will let you see how it works. Then you can move on to aiming to market an item or a product. Just to get familiar with blogging even if, you should have a practice an individual. You will be pleased that you mixed dough later.
Content material is king, and so very important while you are marketing a blog, webpage, or whatsoever you choose to industry. When you have the own weblog, you will be in charge of this that is posted on it. You are able to decide what is said, and what is not. You need all composing it all, proper? So , the sky certainly is the limit. If you want a blog page that does indeed website feedback and will take nominations, or else you want to market things that you make out of your residence, the choice is yours to make. Using a weblog to get the phrase out regarding whatever you want also is a great way to market and promote something. You will get effects that you will appreciate by using great content that is certainly original.
Blog marketing is only as difficult as you help to make it. You will definitely see that anyone can industry something whenever they have the mind set to do. Getting your blog page up and going is definitely the first step and most important one make sure that you currently have chosen a topic niche that may get you good results as well. As that will mean that there isn’t as much competition for the topics that you just choose, yet somehow there are many searches that are completed for it as well. Finding a market that rarely no one else has carressed is sort of hard to do at times, but can be achieved if you start looking hard enough. Start by thinking about tasks that interest you and stuff that you like to try yourself. If at all possible, find a thing that you know information on all ready or can find out quickly to turn into an expert in this particular field.
Blog page marketing is about results. When you market long enough and hard enough, you are going to find the results you want and are trying to find. The secrets to obtaining this will be patience and determination www.fiyat.website. Something which you have to have to do most anything at all. | 2019-04-22T20:05:31 | https://dev-wp-kenyukai-na-01.appspot.com/2018/06/25/weblog-marketing-that-gets-effects/ |
So I've been been scanning through some teacher blogs to see if there might be any common back-to-school themes. One thing that jumps out: There are a lot of air-conditioning problems in classrooms out there.
It hit 93 in my classroom today, and that, coupled with the humidity and a room chock full of kids, just doesn't make for a good learning environment. I do my best, but it's hard not think it's pretty inhumane not to offer a/c in every school when it gets this hot. At noon, I was feeling okay (I didn't wear a shirt/tie today), but, by 2pm, I could barely move. Kids were ornery and/or sluggish. I really wish there a way to get more humane conditions in all of our schools. I'll be on my 3rd sweat towel tomorrow. | 2019-04-25T22:32:30 | https://blogs.edweek.org/teachers/teaching_now/2010/09/can_someone_fix_the_ac.html |
All it takes are the words “record high” and all economic or financial sins are forgiven and forgotten. The financial media cannot contain themselves whenever they get the chance to use the term, adding qualifications like “soar” and “sharply” to make sure everyone gets the message. Context need not apply because stocks are supposed to be forward-looking discounting mechanisms.
However, even a small bit of background dispels the sentiment. Dating back to especially QE3, the stock market had been trading on only the economy that “will be” not the growth environment that actually was. We know that given the behavior in prices as they diverged sharply with actual earnings, all on the premise that forward earnings were solid and reasonable based on QE actually working. That was already a somewhat shaky premise in 2013, but by the middle of 2014 it was increasingly negated. Where $140 in EPS for the S&P 500 was expected in CY2015, only $86 occurred.
Yet stocks have only traded sideways with increasing volatility; there has yet to be an adjustment to EPS or a more realistic assessment of the global economy apart from that. If 15 times earnings applies to a relatively robust earnings growth environment, what multiple should be assigned to more unsatisfactory growth? Or slow and steady economic contraction? Record highs in the context of this re-evaluation take on an entirely different connotation.
It starts and ends with stocks still trading on the economy that “will be”, though now downgraded to the economy that hopefully “might be.” Especially in the past few days of resurgent optimist perhaps related to Japan, buying interest seems to be at least a taste of what once was. It isn’t so much that the Bank of Japan will do whatever it will do, rather it is the fantasy that whatever the BoJ does is the opening round of global central banks finally finding the magic number (or policy format) that unlocks the full “will be” economy. We know this is nothing but hope because there is no reasonable basis for the expectation; central banks and monetary policies have uniformly failed in such universal, widespread fashion (economy and monetary) as to leave no doubt.
Though the S&P closed at a new record high today, it represents only a 1 year gain of 2.5% and relative performance far more aligned with this kind of uncertain environment. That is the best view of stocks, as other indices have actually underperformed. Notably, and I think importantly, the S&P 500 Buyback Index is down almost 5% in the same 1 year period, and down almost 9% since its high in February 2015 – all despite the current rally from the lows of February 11.
The broader NYSE Composite also continues to be unfavorably situated, down 2% in the 1 year period and almost 3% since February 24 last year. Worse, for the 2 year period through today, the index is also down 2.4% meaning that the broader market has gone nowhere for several years now – all coincident to the appearance of the “rising dollar” that spoiled the hope.
Focusing on the S&P 500 and its new highs is therefore misleading. That is especially true in comparison to “risk off” assets such as gold or US treasuries. The longer UST bonds or bond funds are up more than 20% in both the 1 and 2 year periods, while the intermediate part of the UST curve is up about 8% and 9%, respectively.
This more comprehensive review is more consistent with growing uncertainty rather than the narrow trumpet of “record highs.” Because of that, attention will focus, once emotion subsides, toward valuations and the real economic climate that will ultimately determine them. Even if you don’t think there is any recession danger, any realistic assessment of the current economy does not support either central banks suddenly getting it right nor high earnings multiples (regardless of where interest and discount rates lie). This more schizophrenic behavior is actually fundamentally more consistent with the economy as it is, casting off if in only discrete periods (of monetary “tightness”) the once-immutable faith in the economy that “will be.” In other words, these more wild swings between hope and despair are what actually matters – indicating the “market” wrestling with its own disappointment as if in one or other of the five stages of grieving.
Old habits, and myths, die hard, so in some ways you can’t blame investors or the media for trying to recreate the “fun” and thrill of 2013 and the days before global QE was so thoroughly disproven. The reality of the “rising dollar” and the big risk of forward earnings (and the future economy they were supposed to represent) still has not been resolved. At various times over the past two years, stock prices have continued to intermittently shift toward believing again but that was and is nothing like what it once meant. Though the S&P did hit a new record high, it is still fair to conclude that overall stocks really aren’t buying it. | 2019-04-25T16:02:33 | https://davidstockmanscontracorner.com/the-hope-trade-returns-but-even-that-is-severely-stunted/ |
Ostensibly, Todd Brainard paints what we like to call The Landscape - that pervasive envelope of realism that all of us move about within, yet possess very differing opinions regarding what it is and what to do with it. And although our perceptive dissonance is deafening, landscape surrounds us inexorably and can’t be ignored. Accordingly, Brainard’s paintings are wrought with that same stuff of conflict and compromise, wryly packaged as landscapes for our consideration.
Brainard conjures vistas of transitional spaces, where the seemingly natural environment and the built-up-by-humans world collide. The contradictory elements are obvious but pertinent: wetlands, oil pumps, tract homes, open land, bucolic canyon, engineering catastrophe. Often, these places teem with entropy as seen in two withering palm trees, recently killed, their tops lopped off to make room for a new ______ or the skeletal remains of a deserted subdivision slowly being reclaimed by foliage.
Complementing his subject matter, Brainard’s handling of pictorial construction vividly extends the motif of disparate elements coexisting. Immediately, the chemical colors defy any possibility that these paintings are documentary. Nor can the influence of photography, witnessed by lens-induced flattening of space and an occasional reference to stereoscope cards, when offset by a variety of painterly textures, persuade us that this is realism.
Ultimately, an eerie, but almost serene stillness populates these paintings where depictions of people and motion do not. It’s hard to know what is “real” in these works in much the same way that we’re stymied by our memories, our dreams and Photoshop. Brainard likes to refer to his work as historical fiction - and the comparison is particularly apt when we consider the crazy variability of experiences, how they are recorded and communicated. These paintings, these landscapes, speak eloquently and directly about the nature of our perceptions and the ridiculously complex interconnectivity of it all. | 2019-04-24T22:19:52 | http://www.georgebillis.com/todd-brainard.html |
They arrived at the church with only what they could carry: clothes, pictures and a few family heirlooms.
It's all that is left of a life before the Islamic State terror group swept into northern Iraq, giving the Christians of Qaraqosh and Mosul an ultimatum: Convert, leave or die.
Most, like Ammar Zaki and his family, fled first to the relative safety of Iraq's Kurdish capital of Irbil and then made their way to Amman, Jordan, where they found sanctuary in a church.
Roughly 100 Iraqi Christians are being sheltered at St. Mary's Church in the Marka neighborhood of Amman. Their sanctuary offers little more than floor mats and a roof, but it's a welcome haven after fleeing ISIS persecution.
"Jesus Christ told people, 'leave everything and follow me,' " Zaki said, cradling his 9-month-old daughter, Athena. "So we did."
The stress and strain of the journey show in Zaki's tired eyes.
"We had to leave everything and go ... to be Christian, to stay in my religion," he said.
Jordan's capital of Amman has become a magnet for many refugees in recent years trying to escape war or persecution. More than 1 million Syrians fleeing a civil war have poured into the tiny desert kingdom, and hundreds of thousands of Iraqis -- many of them Christian -- have sought haven from the sectarian fighting and later ISIS.
The country's population has swelled, with the U.N. Refugee Agency estimating more than 645,000 refugees have made their way to Amman, according to 2014 figures.
That number does not include the refugee camps that have been set up near its border crossings with Syria and the West Bank, home to a large number of Palestinians.
The influx of refugees has put a strain on the country, and nowhere is that more evident than at St. Mary's Church, where about 500 refugees, including some Muslims, have walked through the doors, Father Khalil Jaar said.
Many are children who arrived sick "because of the trauma of the incidents they suffered in Iraq: fear, insecure, no food," Jaar said.
"They left their homes in a few hours ... leaving everything behind them. It's a very big shock. That's why I do my best to help these people to overcome this situation and to (help them) look for a better life."
The church helps the refugees as much as it can, with charity from nonprofits, but mostly private donations.
Some of the Christian refugees live in the church, on the floor. Others live in nearby apartments rented by the church until they are granted asylum, a process that can drag on for years.
"We don't know how many days or months they stay with us; that's why I think any kind of help is welcome," Jaar said.
Jaar rests little these days, spending his time welcoming visitors, helping new arrivals and, sometimes, taking the children on excursions to help them forget.
He does it all with a big, wide smile.
Still, he knows it will be difficult for the refugees, who after months on the move need rest and time to apply for visas to relocate to Europe, the United States or Australia.
"I learned so much from them, their patience and solidarity. I am very happy to be with them, to be serving these people," he says, just minutes before he comforts a woman -- a refugee -- in tears over the frustrating process of applying for asylum.
"When someone knocks on my door, I cannot say no. I have to say yes and give any kind of help," Jaar said.
"My church, my school, my heart is open for every single one who comes to ask for help," he said. | 2019-04-22T05:19:06 | http://philotimo-leventia.blogspot.com/2014/10/escaping-isis-iraqs-christians-find.html |
This short article made an appearance in the SCAA Chronicle, the member publication from the Niche Coffee Association of the usa.
Of all of the certifications and labeling schemes that show up on consumable products, “organic” is most likely probably the most familiar, and possibly probably the most without effort appealing. But as demand grows, there’s additionally a growing awareness our thought of the wholesomeness of organic agriculture or knowledge of organic certification might not completely align with reality, which organic agriculture, even just in compliance with certification standards, isn’t a cure all. But could it be worthwhile?
Being an ecologist, I have faith that probably the most serious peril of non-organic coffee is injury to people and also the atmosphere at origin. But the coffee industry—supplier of the globally ubiquitous product grown by huge numbers of people round the world—has a really special and central role within the promotion and evolution from the organic movement.
Let’s talk over some from the perceived shortcomings of organic foods that have particular relevance to coffee. The very first is that organic produce is usually no more nutritious than conventionally grown produce. Coffee isn’t consumed because of its dietary benefits, making this unlikely to help coffee buying some way.
Pesticide residue on foods is really a major concern to consumers, however, many recent work has determined that organic foods might not be any safer than conventional foods. This is correct for coffee, where little if any chemical residue will probably remain when the beans are taken off the fruit (the part uncovered to pesticides), dried and hulled, roasted at high temperatures, ground, then made in water.
Finally, “organic” doesn’t always mean “high quality.” Organic coffee is frequently grown within canopy of shade, and shade-grown coffee has a tendency to ripen more gradually. Slower growth may intensify flavors, producing a better-tasting cup. This subtlety might not be recognizable through the average consumer, not to mention any coffee, carelessly harvested or processed, can lead to a lousy cup.
If organic coffee isn’t healthier and doesn’t taste much better than conventionally grown coffee, why must buyers favor it, especially given its greater cost?
Pesticides which are banned or highly restricted within the U.S. or Europe continue to be utilized in many coffee-growing countries, including some which are highly toxic. Even illegal pesticides continue to be accessible and being applied. Improper storage, insufficient personal protection, and insufficient practicing handlers of pesticides aren’t uncommon within the third world, and lead to farm workers being directly uncovered to toxins.
Even when these toxins aren’t lethal, the results on non-target microorganisms (including humans) may contain reproductive impairment, weakened natural defenses, abnormal hormonal function, cancers, genetic mutations, altered foraging and predator-avoidance behavior, faulty thermoregulation, and/or nerve effects. Utilization of herbicides also eliminates larval and pollinator host plants, transforming the bottom of food chains. These effects can happen even if chemicals are administered properly, and therefore are exacerbated when mis- or higher-applied.
Things I find most terrifying is the fact that there’s no testing to determine which occurs when multiple goods are used concurrently or sequentially, or what goes on once they match other chemicals (synthetic and natural) within the atmosphere or perhaps in microorganisms. We have no idea how different climates or soils influence these interactions, or their lengthy-term effects. The amount of potential mixtures of substances, conditions, and settings is mind-boggling, yet these synergies as well as their impacts on environmental and human health are basically unknown!
According to everything about Organic Agriculture 2016 report, coffee may be the world’s largest single organic crop. While comprising 3 percent of organic cropland, it covers over 20 % of organic permanent cropland, and also over 1 / 2 of the permanent cropland in South America, where nearly all organic coffee is grown. Furthermore, coffee is grown within the tropics—home to a few of the world’s most biodiverse areas and sophisticated environments.
Coffee maqui berry farmers are largely motivated by financial aspects. Organic agriculture frequently incurs substantial costs. Hands weeding, pruning of shade trees, and implementation of integrated bug control adds additional labor costs. Particularly daunting may be the production or purchase of bulk of organic compost for fertilizer synthetic fertilizers aren’t permitted because of high fossil fuel use within their manufacture as well as their limited use within promoting healthy soil. If your farm includes a wet mill, the waste pulp can be used as fertilizer, but it won’t be enough to satisfy the heavy feeding demands of coffee, so additional sources will have to be located. The hurdle of securing sufficient organic fertilizer frequently plays a role in yields for organic coffee growers which are less than the inflated yields of high-input coffee—by over 30 % in some instances.
Certification charges also may play a role. Organic practices are verified by annual inspections, and producers pay, at some level, for certification, including accommodating inspectors and having to pay for his or her travel. These expenses, coupled with lower yields and elevated labor costs, are frequently not sufficiently offset through the cost premiums compensated for organic coffee, that are typically around 20 to 25 %. This could make organic production unappealing to maqui berry farmers. And also, since among the needs for organic certification is segregation from conventional coffee through the logistics, you will find financial burdens for importers, roasters, along with other players within the logistics too. Some of these pricing is of necessity forwarded to consumers.
I shouldn’t minimize the advantages of some farming chemicals, or oversimplify the reasons in growing coffee in eco or economically sustainable ways. However for decades we’ve been going for a dangerous risk our atmosphere. Other coffee certifications have various limitations on pesticide use, only organic (and Smithsonian Bird-Friendly, that organic certification is really a prerequisite) prohibits many of them. There isn’t any denying that chemicals that are permitted under organic certification might be just like toxic as individuals that aren’t, but under organic rules their me is limited to certain situations.
Many uncertified coffee farms might be considered “passive organic,” simply because they forego some or all chemical use because of expense or ideology. But unless of course they’re certified, there’s not a way of knowing if, when, or the way they use chemicals, or if they’re following the rest of the essential eco-friendly practices which are mandated in organic certification standards. These encompass water and soil quality and conservation measures, and looking after or enhancing biological sources, including supporting bio-diversity.
Acquiring organic certification and fully embracing its philosophy is definitely an enormous accomplishment, specifically for maqui berry farmers in developing countries where sources, tech support team, and capital might be missing. Even though many organic farms were or are helped by initial grants or any other funding, many will require ongoing effort to preserve and advance organic practices. The coffee industry is incorporated in the position to assist in these activities by supplying expertise, facilitating partnerships, and inspiring innovation. Bigger industry players may help finance initiatives outright, and all sorts of front-line coffee providers come with an chance to interact and educate the general public on the significance of organic coffee, the difficulties it presents to maqui berry farmers, and also the role of greater premiums in fostering and stabilizing organic production—indeed, helping it to prosper. Organic certification is really a dedication to sustainability that should be rewarded with this dollars. | 2019-04-18T13:19:41 | http://www.store-morihiko.com/organic-coffee/the-strength-of-organic-coffee-coffee-conservation.html |

Make no mistake, in 2018 gender is on the agenda. From pay parity to the gender gap, to women in leadership roles, the discourse regarding the role of women in traditionally male-dominated workforces is taking poll position.
Working at SMEC’s Durban office in South Africa I am proud to say we have a strong and comparative female presence in our office which is relatively equal in number to men.
Whilst it is my personal experience that women are slowly starting to come through the ranks and take up our place in leadership roles, we still have a way to go. Historically, engineering has been a male dominated environment, but I can feel the change here in South Africa. It has been seen and noticed that women bring so much to our industry.
I have been lucky that I have always been surrounded by strong women in leadership and my first example came from my mother. Now, in the Durban office, there are a number of individuals in leadership roles who inspire me daily, encourage and foster my professional and personal growth. My manager affords me a level of autonomy and trust which helps me achieve my goals and I was very proud to have been named SMEC Young Female Employee of the Year for 2017 at the recent SMEC Awards in Australia.
Seeing is believing, and being surrounded by real-life examples of strong leaders within our industry provides me with a personal road-map for achieving greatness.
At University, I enjoyed all the science related typically male-dominated subjects. It never phased me and my motto was ‘let’s try it out and see what we can do’. This ability to take risks paid off and I learned that I loved science. What I particularly loved is investigating, asking questions and discovering new knowledge. I get to use these skills and rely on my knowledge every day at SMEC.
What would I say to a young woman interested in studying science or taking up a career in engineering? Give it a go. You will be able to challenge the status quo and prove yourself right. It is empowering, you will cover multiple topics and the work and study will reveal a myriad of opportunities.
My goal is to witness real change and my passion comes from that. Driving social change and ensuring that social development benefits communities is at the front of my mind in everything I do.
One such project I am particularly proud to be part of is the Zibambele Poverty Alleviation Program in Durban, South Africa. The Program provides sustainable work opportunities to predominately female-headed households. It’s simple but effective and employs members of the local community (beneficiaries) to look after sections of road. The beneficiaries become responsible for maintaining the road and various tasks are assigned to them from picking up litter to cutting grass to aid mobility, accessibly and aesthetics.
The Program is particularly beneficial for members of the community who are often responsible for caring for multiple dependents. Beneficiaries are required to work eight days a month and this type of labour intensive work helps with their day-to-day costs. Many of the beneficiaries often tell us how the Program helps them to put food on table and even puts their grandchildren through school.
Working on the Zibambele Poverty Alleviation Program has been rewarding, enjoyable and enlightening. It has given me direction and allows me purpose.
In the next two to three years, I want to grow my team and get involved with more sizeable projects.
In five to ten years, I would expect to be growing in my leadership role, discovering my capabilities as a leader and further aligning myself with SMECs core values.
My end game is to become a thought leader in my field and a recognised industry leader.
If I give it a go, commit to my plan, surround myself with aspirational leaders and believe in myself then there’s no reason why all my goals can’t be achieved.
Wow. This is such an inspirational story. Love it! | 2019-04-20T20:11:09 | http://www.smec.com/infocus/community/challenge-the-status-quo/?replytocom=2393 |

This is summer to me.
Kyle, Liam, and I were driving to Canopy Lake Park in Maine, and we were lost. I was telling Kyle to ask for directions, because the GPS on his phone was acting up, but we ended up finding our exit and following a bunch of signs to get to the park. The parking lot was completely empty, and I asked Kyle if they were even open, but he assured me that they were.
There was no one stationed at the gate, so we just walked right in, and headed for the first ride we saw, which was a teacup ride. There were no people in the park, but we didn’t seem to notice or care. Kyle kept complaining about how sunny it was. The gate to the teacup ride was locked, and Liam started to cry. We decided that we would spend some time at the large wave pool instead, but when we got there, there was no water in the pool. We found a large hose, and put it in the pool, and filled it up ourselves, even though we couldn’t get the waves to work. The water was crystal clear, and it looked like a tropical beach, with the bottom of the pool covered in white sand.
A woman showed up at the pool and waved at us enthusiastically. She was the only other person in the park besides us. She took off all of her clothes and jumped into the pool completely naked. Just then, a group of 6 or 7 little kids, which I assumed were with her, came running out of the locker room, and jumped into the pool after her. There were now several beach balls being thrown around, and we kept getting splashed, so we got out of the pool. Kyle was angry, and was cussing up a storm, complaining about the woman. We did a lap around the park, but there were still only a few other people there, and none of them were employees.
After walking for a long time, we came across a large archway, with a “Zoo” sign, and Liam starting jumping up and down and cheering. We walked down the path to the zoo, which descended into a thick, green rain forest. There were brightly colored birds, terrifyingly large bugs, and pterodactyls everywhere. I had a large camera around my neck, and was taking pictures of everything that we passed. | 2019-04-20T14:36:06 | https://superjangames.wordpress.com/tag/pool/ |

How do you safely share the road with trucks and buses? | B. L. Jensen, L.P.
A lot of drivers are nervous when they're on the road around large trucks and buses -- and rightly so! If a passenger vehicle gets into an accident with a large truck or bus, the potential consequences can be deadly for everyone involved.
-- Give trucks and buses plenty of space. This is the most important rule to follow whether you are tying to pass one, follow one or are just sitting behind one in traffic. You need to always keep in mind that bigger vehicles simply need more space to slow down, more space to stop and more space to start up again. For example, if you're passing a bus in traffic because you don't want to sit behind it at every stop along the way, don't squeeze into the space in front of it when the space is barely big enough for your vehicle. If the bus or truck driver happens to be accelerating when you do that, he or she may not be able to slow down again in time to avoid hitting you.
-- Be aware of the truck or bus driver's blind spots. Try to be at least 20 feet ahead of the vehicle before you cut into the lane it's in, and assume you are in a blind spot unless you are more than 30 feet behind it. When passing on either side of a large truck or bus, it's safest to assume that you're in a blind spot unless you can see the driver in the vehicle's side mirrors.
-- Keep back if the truck or bus is turning. Neither can make sharp turns the way that passenger vehicles can. In particular, large vehicles have a hard time making a right-hand turn -- if you try to push forward into the right lane between the turning vehicle and the curb as the driver initially swings left to make the turn, you can end up in an accident when the driver swings right again.
Despite your precautions, accidents can still happen when the bus or truck driver isn't well-trained in traffic situations. Anyone injured by a bus or truck driver's poor driving skills could have a claim for compensation for his or her medical bills, lost wages and much more.. | 2019-04-26T02:45:09 | https://www.bjensenlaw.com/blog/2017/05/how-do-you-safely-share-the-road-with-trucks-and-buses.shtml |
Michael Tree, longtime violist of the Guarneri String Quartet, has died at 84. Born Michael Applebaum, the son of a violin teacher at the Manhattan School of Music, Tree changed his surname at the behest of Efram Zimbalist, his principal teacher at the Curtis Institute of Music.
Tree began attending the Marlboro Music Festival in 1959; he founded the Guarneri with violinists Arnold Steinhardt and John Dalley and cellist David Soyer at Marlboro in 1964. The ensemble, known for its unusually rich collective tone, was one of the leading US string quartets until it disbanded in 2009. | 2019-04-23T04:35:16 | https://letterv.blog/2018/04/02/michael-tree-1934-2018/ |

Washington: Democrat Pete Buttigieg, who is the Mayor of South Bend, Indiana, and is also openly gay, has announced that he was running for President in 2020 and proclaimed his hometowns revival was the answer to sceptics who ask how he has the "audacity" to see himself in the White House.
"My name is Pete Buttigieg. They call me Mayor Pete," Buttigieg said to cheers at rally in South Bend on Sunday inside a partly rebuilt factory once owned by the automaker Studebaker.
"I am a proud son of South Bend, Indiana. And I am running for President of the United States."
He added: "I ran for mayor in 2011 knowing nothing like Studebaker would ever come back, but that we would, our city would, if we had the courage to reimagine our future."
"I recognise the audacity of doing this as a Midwestern, millennial mayor, but we live in a moment that compels us each to act... It calls for a new generation of leadership.
"Our marriage exists by the grace of a single vote on the US Supreme Court... Nine men and women sat down in a room and took a vote, and they brought me the most important freedom in my life."
Though Buttigieg is a political progressive, his main message is the claim to leadership of millennial Americans, those he says will be on "the business end" of climate change, who grew up with school shootings and who supplied most of the troops in America's wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Swalwell also promised to be a "different" kind of candidate in a crowded Democrat field with more established stars, vowing that his campaign would not accept donations from corporate political action committees. | 2019-04-25T10:30:23 | http://www.sify.com/news/democrat-buttigieg-launches-2020-presidential-bid-news-international-tepjEeheggegd.html |
