Since 1987 NHT was designed and engineered some of the worlds best and most loved speaker systems. Everybody should have the right to enjoy music the way it was meant to be heard – that's why their motto has always been high-end, not high-price. Whether you prefer bookshelf or floor standing tower speakers, in-wall or in-ceiling speakers, or even all-weather outdoor speakers, NHT speakers can satisfy your needs.
No corners are cut when making NHT products; their speakers are made from the same finest materials (MDF – medium density fiberboard and BMC – bulk moulding compound) that the best speakers in the world are made from. All of their speakers use acoustic suspension so you don't have to worry about blocking a port when deciding on where to place your speakers.
Come in and listen to a pair or two, of NHT speakers – discover high-end yet affordable speakers. Now here this!
The MS – Tower is a 3-way, acoustic suspension tower loudspeaker with high output, full-range dynamics and broad dispersion. The slender MS-Tower is an updated version of our previous Absolute Tower, featuring a built-in up-firing driver connected via its own separate terminals in addition to the 1" aluminum dome tweeter and three 5.25" woofers found in the earlier version. The 3-way design equates to a broader soundstage, meaning that you can sit almost anywhere to enjoy either music or movies. Add one or two NHT CS-10 subwoofers and you will have a powerful, full range system that will shake your house. The MS-Tower is licensed by Dolby Laboratories for Atmos playback.
The Classic Three has been NHT's best seller since it was introduced it in 2005. The new C-3 carries on the tradition of our best bookshelf design providing a wide soundstage, excellent dispersion and detail typically found only in the most expensive designs. Moreover, the C-3 has bass response down to 40Hz, making a subwoofer optional instead of a necessity when listening to music. For home theater applications, the C-3 makes a great cornerstone for an audiophile grade system when combined with its matching center. While sonic improvements have been relatively minor, we made the product sturdier and far more serviceable than its predecessor.
One thing that hasn't changed, since their inception in 1987, is their commitment to building the best high-end, not high-priced loudspeakers on the planet – and they have countless awards and reviews to prove it. NHT is an efficient, privately held, US-based business, managed daily by the owners and a handful of dedicated employees, most of whom are musicians, who love what they do – and it shows.

Nice example of Colton's map of California.
The map is hand colored by counties and has an inset of San Francisco. Interesting view of San Francisco ten years after the Gold Rush, including the never-adopted Lagoon Survey, and proposed street names for in-filling in Mission Bay.
Among the more interesting counties shown are "Buena Vista" County (a short lived-proposal that lasted from 1855 to 1859) and "Frezno" [sic] County.
Very good; some wear along the left edge.

Applying data science models to solve the frequently occurring exploratory issues


Mobile operators that have expanded into mobile money are already aware of the indirect benefits it can generate, such as customer loyalty and savings on airtime distribution. But is mobile money profitable? It can be, but getting there requires heavy on-going investments in operational expenditures (OPEX) and a shift away from cash-based transactions to a mature digital ecosystem. This paper evaluates the profitability of mobile money by estimating profit margins for three different scenarios, and highlights the internal challenges mobile operators may encounter along the way.
Measuring the profitability of mobile money is not the same as measuring the profitability of core GSM activity, like voice and data. Mobile money is first and foremost an OPEX business, driven by agent commissions, marketing, and personnel expenditures. It cannot compete with EBITDA margins of ~35% now seen in GSM, but the capital expenditure (CAPEX) required to launch and run a mobile money business is significantly lower. Operators and financial officers should therefore compare mobile money and GSM businesses based on free cash flow generation, that is, approximately EBITDA minus CAPEX.
In the start-up phase, mobile network operators (MNOs) should expect to invest six to eight times the revenue units generated by mobile money. EBITDA margins will take a hit during this period, but senior management should resist the temptation to reduce mobile money OPEX when core GSM business comes under pressure. Mobile money deployments need time and resources to deploy a robust agent network and to acquire and educate customers. Profitability should not be a focus at this stage, although operators may choose to quantify the indirect benefits of mobile money to bolster the overall business case.
As mobile money enters a high-growth stage (when an MNO acquires at least 15% of its GSM base as active mobile money customers), both OPEX and the revenue generated from rising transaction volumes increase. Modest, positive margins of two to five percent are expected at this stage. The challenge then becomes transitioning from a system based on a costly cash-in/cash-out network to a mature digital financial ecosystem. In addition to creating a compelling value proposition for consumers, operators must also integrate their platforms with a range of institutions to stimulate digital transactions. For deployments with high numbers of over-the-counter (OTC) transactions, the transition to digital is more complex, and heavy investments in customer acquisition are needed to drive the adoption of mobile wallets.
In a mature, ecosystem-based deployment, the ratio of digital to cash-based transactions widens. In this stage, deployments can expect healthy profit margins of more than 20% and cash flow margins to exceed 15%, making mobile money more attractive relative to its core GSM business. These estimates do not include the potential financial gains from adjacent revenue pools, such as credit scoring services and other data analytics for mobile money usage, or the new products a mature ecosystem can enable.


Today we're going to get down and dirty with some basic law of contracts. Sure, sure, you're not a lawyer but contracts are part of our daily lives to varying degrees. From that software update where you click 'I Agree' (be honest, do you actually read it? All of it?), to other more complicated contracts like shareholders, employment etc. etc. If you learn to recognise these elements, it'll not only help your business, it can also help you avoid potential legal mistakes. Of course it's always best to hire a lawyer but basic legal knowledge is always an advantage – forewarned is forearmed.
Anyway, we'll be going on a lovely adventure to help explain said elements of a contract. Put on your walking boots folks and lets get cooking!
This is the first part of a contract that states the purpose of the contract.
For example, one day you wake up and think, "Hot diggity, I want to buy a car!" That would be your intention to enter legal relations.
"Psst! Hey, wanna buy a car? You can have it for RM100!" and there's the offer folks!
"Sweet bruh. You bring me RM100 in cash before 10pm today and I'll immediately give you the car keys." cackles the smelly wizard. He's laid out the terms of the contract clearly so you both know what your obligations are (ie. certainty).
This is the part where you weigh up the value of what you're getting versus what you're giving. If you give the smelly wizard RM100 before 10pm, you'll get a car at an insanely low price. But where has that car been? Who is this mysterious and smelly wizard? What if that car is stolen? You'll never know.
Welp, that's all folks. We hope that contracts make a little more sense to you now and you'll be able to spot a solid contract a lot easier. Don't worry, the smelly wizard was just an actor.
Okay we have no idea who the smelly wizard was. He was not part of the plan.


On New Year's Eve, juice up a batch of phytonutrient-rich nutrients to make a healthy cocktail base to mix with alcohol or simply enjoy drinking as is. This vibrant juice not only tastes great, but it can nourish you all night long to help prevent waking up a depleted mess on New Year's Day!
Cranberries and pomegranate seeds are loaded with antioxidants like vitamins C & E plus anthocyanin, quercitin and ellagic acid. Both red beauties are seasonal winter gems and boast B-vitamins, thought to help reduce hangover symptoms; probably because drinking alcohol can deplete us of these water-soluble nutrients. Potassium is another important electrolyte found naturally in this juice to stay hydrated and feeling well amidst the festivities.
You can even make some extra Sparkling New Year's Juice sans alcohol in your fridge for an eye opener on New Year's Day. Then go out for a walk and create a nutrient-packed oatmeal or quinoa breakfast for a sure-fire way to help leave your late night shenanigans behind.

Jay Walker Returns to HU via ESPN
The HU alum and former quarterback joins the Bison's ESPN debut as announcer
Edward Hill Jr.
Aug 19, 2022 4 minutes
Howard University alumnus Jay Walker (BA '98) has always credited those around him for his achievements – whether it's playing football, announcing sports or serving in politics.
Take, for example, the Howard University football team's early '90's success. In 1991, Walker transferred from Long Beach State and, as quarterback, took Howard's football team from a 2-9 record to a 7-4 mark. In 1993, it was undefeated at 11-0 in the regular season: a first for Howard.
Jay Walker was quarterback for the Howard University football team in the early 1990's
The team made its one and only Division I-AA playoff appearance and the Black National championship. Walker was named player of the year and I-AA All American. Yet, Walker says that was not all achieved during the season, but the Summer before.
"Many of the players … made [sacrificed] going home to stay around and work out together each day. It paid off in the season because we were all on the same page," he says.
On August 27, Walker will be on hand when Howard plays in the Cricket MEAC/SWAC Challenge in Atlanta, opening the 2022 college football season. It will be nationally televised on ESPN, a first for Howard's team as well as the classic. Walker will be providing the on-air commentary during the game, a skill he honed over the years with help from fellow alumni.
After retiring from pro football, Walker jumped at an opportunity to do commentary on HBCU games on BET.
Before long, he was contacted by the network and thus his lifelong dream of covering HBCU football on a national level was realized.
His first assignment, Howard's homecoming game against Norfolk State, did not go as expected.
"I went in thinking that since I had played the game at a high level, things would be easy. I did not do any homework or prepare adequately," he recalls. "I was terrible."
His former head coach, Steve Wilson, called with words of encouragement and some tips. "He said … that I could be good at this."
It turned out to be a defining moment as Walker would go on to refine his skills as an analyst with BET, which was the only network carrying HBCU games on a regular basis. In the meantime, ESPN launched its broadcast of Black college football. Before long, he was contacted by the network and thus his lifelong dream of covering HBCU football on a national level was realized.

Walker credits his mentors for getting him to where he is, including HU alumni: Glenn Harris, one of the first African American broadcasters in the DMV area; and Gus Johnson, one of the top play-by-play broadcasters.
In 2017, Walker was teamed with Tiffany Greene, the first African American woman to do play by play for ESPN. It proved to be a royal match.
"[Jay] brings so much to the broadcast," says Greene, who has been with the network for a decade.
Walker calls Greene "the Queen of Black College Football Broadcasting"; and she says that he is "the King of HBCU Broadcasters."
During a session with his football camp, Sky Walker, Walker was approached about becoming a delegate in Prince George's County. At first, he hesitated, but after some careful thought, he pursued it successfully.
"I said, 'If I can remember 2,500 plays in a playbook, what is a 500-word bill?'" he recalls.
Walker with his family
Walker balances his busy schedule between work and home. He maintains family time with his wife, Monique Anderson Walker (MA '03), who is a recent candidate for Maryland lieutenant governor, and their two daughters and son. He covers college football from August through December, and works as an assemblyman from January through April. He will be covering college baseball this coming Spring.
Walker holds the distinction of having been inducted into both the Howard University Athletics Hall of Fame and MEAC Hall of Fame. When he was inducted into the Howard's, he insisted that the entire 1993 team be honored.
Regarding the upcoming classic in Atlanta, he says that, with Howard's large alumni network in the area (including three former Atlanta mayors), it will basically be a Howard event.
"I am jealous," he says jokingly. "It is something that I wish we had when I was playing."

Nebraska Expands Health Information Exchange
The Nebraska Health Information Initiative, which served mostly the Omaha region until now, is expanding statewide.
While most states are gearing up health information exchange strategies, some states are further along than others. Nebraska is among states already making strides in expanding its capabilities for healthcare providers to exchange patient data.
The Nebraska Health Information Initiative, or NeHii, has expanded its presence in central Nebraska with the addition of data sharing by Mary Lanning Memorial Hospital, which serves the city of Hastings.
Until now, most healthcare providers contributing data to and using the exchange were situated in the Omaha area in the eastern part of the state. Last year, several major healthcare organizations and hospitals in the region, including Alegent Health, Children's Hospital and Medical Center, Methodist Health System, and Nebraska Medical Center, successfully completed a pilot of the exchange.
While Mary Lanning Memorial is the first hospital to join the exchange since the pilot launched, other large healthcare providers in the state will be joining soon, including Creighton University school of dentistry and the university's Creighton Medical Associates network of physicians, also in the Omaha area, said Deb Bass, interim executive director of NeHii.
After that, the exchange will expand west with the addition of Great Plains Regional Medical Center.
"By January 2012, we're looking at 90% to 95% of the population" of Nebraska to be represented in the exchange of patient data facilitated by NeHii, Bass said.
While the population of Nebraska is about 1.4 million, already data for 1.5 million patients is available through the exchange. That's because patients in neighboring states such as Iowa, Kansas, and South Dakota often seek care from major healthcare providers in the Omaha region, said Bass.
The key technology underpinning the exchange is a Web-based data exchange framework from Axolotl that includes master patient index, record locator, clinical messaging, and EMR products, said Bass.
The federated hybrid data model used by NeHii for data exchange has data providers -- e.g., the hospitals, labs and radiologists -- securely providing copies of patient data, such as lab and other test results, allergies, medications, and admission and discharge information, on "edge" servers.
When an authorized healthcare provider queries for patient data, the master patient index and record locator finds information about that patient from the edge servers and displays the data for the clinician.
"It works like Expedia does for travel, but for healthcare," said Bass.
Participating NeHii healthcare providers -- who also provide data to the exchange -- pay a monthly license fee.

Making great cocktails accessible to everyone: at home, in retailers and in hotels.
We produce cocktail boxes filled with premium ingredients and recipes. Our boxes are available via a monthly subscription, through high-end retailers such as Fortnum & Mason, Selfridges, Harvey Nichols and, in the near future, in hotel rooms around the world.
We work with global brands and craft distillers, with support from some of the world's finest cocktail creators, carving out a whole new market for at-home cocktails.
At the moment we see cocktails in the home as being the equivalent of coffee in the home 15 years ago.
Back then, you could go out for a good cup of coffee but at home you were generally stuck with instant. Quality coffee was for geeks or snobs. Now, good coffee is in most kitchens - and we want to do the same for cocktails - by making them easy, cost-effective and fun. Above all, it's about giving people the skills, ingredients and confidence to make great drinks.
Our boxes overcome these barriers by providing an affordable package with only the straightforward instructions and ingredients that you need.
Hotel groups are looking at how they can stand out, how the in-room experience can be enhanced and how to reward frequent customers. A Shaken product for hotels is in development for a major global hotel group.
Brands work with us to promote their products and learn more about consumers in a powerful new way.
Underlying all of this is *data*. As we grow, the market insight we get from our members will become more and more detailed and comprehensive, which we believe would enable us to track and predict future trends.
* Listings in Fortnum & Mason, Selfridges, Harvey Nichols, Master of Malt and 31 Dover.
* 200 monthly paying subscription members.
* Major brands officially sanction us to re-bottle their spirits, a cherished and hard fought position of trust and mutual respect.
* Featured and quoted in the 2015 Market Report from William Grant & Sons as a new market trend.
* Significant support from leading industry figures.
* Our social media channels are growing, with our 2,200+ Twitter followers generating around 50,000 tweet impressions/month; and our 1500+ Facebook page followers give us a 60,000+ reach/month.
We recognise that the subscription model is a potential hurdle for some consumers, so we're developing entry-level products for direct-to-consumer sale, as well as selling cocktail equipment, bundled packs and spirits online to increase the basket size for current members.
In addition, we will further grow the retail presence of our Signature boxes, taking them into duty free retail; and we'll launch our hotel product.
Scale in the direct-to-consumer business is important as it delivers greater profit per box. As we grow, we will unlock additional streams of revenue such as partnerships, co-branding and market research that leverages our consumer data.
Once we have built the foundation in the UK market we will look to expand internationally, where we already have significant interest.
We are now seeking investment to capitalise on the brand position we've established, by growing the Explorers' Club subscription business in the UK (both through product development to reach the entry level, and marketing support), developing the hotel product and extending the Signature Retail product.
We'll invest in the team, marketing, facilities and equipment to ensure growth and capacity are aligned.
Our focus is simple: growth.
In 2015, our small team has achieved mighty things. We've created an entirely new category of retail product, in the process going from an online-only company to a high-end retail brand on the shelves of Fortnum & Mason, Selfridges and Harvey Nichols. Invest in Shaken and imagine how far we can go in 2016.
We have two markets: our Members to whom we provide premium cocktails and advice; and the drinks brands to whom we provide marketing services.
On the consumer side, we have found traction and enthusiasm among two core groups: affluent individuals working in finance or technology who enjoy the luxury of cocktails both at home and in bars; and couples or individuals who are cutting back on going out (due to financial or family commitments), using our cocktail kits as a substitute for a night on the town.
"Every @ShakenCocktails is a delight. If you haven't signed up to receive their monthly concoctions, you're missing out #justsaying"
"I love you, @ShakenCocktails. You make me feel like an alcoholic alchemist."
In 2013, UK spending on home-drinking overtook spending in pubs and bars for the first time.
The market for spirits is set to grow by 50% between 2013 and 2018, and distillers expect the majority of that growth to come from premiumisation: up-selling customers to a higher quality of spirit.
We feel there's a latent demand for a subscription business of this type but we need the skills to drive faster growth, and that comes through hiring experienced people.
We're bringing those skills in-house and we've found an incredibly talented customer acquisition expert who is looking for a new challenge. He has worked for a number of subscription businesses in the past, a rare individual who will make a fundamental difference to growth at Shaken.
> Paid digital advertising that we can track, tweak and enhance to ensure a predictable and decreasing cost per sale.
> A variety of regular and one-off events, designed to drive interest and memberships.
* We believe that we have a strong head-start on our potential competitors in this market, with sanction to rebottle their spirits officially and listings in retailers.
* Our CEO is respected in the drinks industry.
* Better value for money: with scale and the partnerships mentioned above, we believe that we can profitably undercut our competitors.
* An established, premium brand and community squarely focussed on making great cocktails at home. Shaken is an authoritative voice for home cocktails.

Other passengers continue to be the hardest part of flying now.
Great flight, arrived early.....perfect
Cons: "All passengers had to board 40 minutes earlier than departure time. The air plain door was closed 10 minutes before departure. No reason we had to board earlier. All passengers are only 15-20 people..."
Cons: "1.5 hr delay in aircraft while waiting for Take off Slot No Coffee (hot drinks) or Alcahol (wine, scotch) on flight"
Pros: "Pleasant crew on board. Quick boarding. The pilot made regular announcements when the flight was delayed (for weather or other reasons that were out of their control)"
Cons: "All was good"
Cons: "Air Canada induced errors Caused a need to interact with airport staff in Toronto Pearson. Staff were RUDE and completely ambivalent. They simply did not care. The area was grossly understaffed. The staff present were incompetent. Will never fly them again."
Pros: "they had top movies, which helped me get through. The staff were friendly enough to not be rude and to do what they were suppose to on the flight. the food was good for the first meal, real chicken. second meal only had pork so luckily I had bought a burger in the airport before boarding since I do not eat pork. All my layover flights were on time with on time boarding/ departure which i Highly appreciated."
Cons: "I did not understand why they would use the same seat design they used for a 2-5 hour flight for a 11Hour Flight!! I had never experienced being that uncomfortable in my seat. I am used to flying 13hours straight but with comfortable and Padded! seats with room to move. the seats were not padded and there was little to no space to put your legs in a comfortable position. My back and neck were killing me in the last 2 hours."
Pros: "Our flight boarded slightly later than expected but ended up taking off on time. Flight crew was courteous and provided water the entire time to ensure everyone was hydrated. In flight entertainment was nicely done with a personal touch screen headrest TV that had ample TV and movies to choose from. We landed slightly ahead of schedule and by the time I got to baggage claim, my oversized bag (snowboard bag) was already waiting for me."
Pros: "The crew was pleasant."
Cons: "The boarding procedure was quite confusing with one agent giving verbal instruction but intercom instruction was contradictory. The entertainment for a long haul flight was a bit disappointing, compared to Air New Zealand it is definitely lacking. The comfort was subpar as well with seats lacking adequate cushion. Needing to repeat everything in French!!"
Cons: "Flight was rescheduled for 4 times ... Every time standing in a line for the new boarding pass"
Pros: "The seating was good and the pilot was friendly."
Cons: "There was not a good movie selection and there was not a lot of information regarding the altitude and there was not very much warning during turbulence."
Cons: "crew was rude and unhelpful with delayed flight"
Cons: "My direct flight was cancelled and rebooked with a connecting flight."
Pros: "I had wheel chair service for transit"
Cons: "Layover time was not enough. I got 1 hour or so for transit. Ridiculous short"
Cons: "One hour late"
Cons: "I didn't travel with children, but if I had done they would have needed entertaining. The crew offered iPads (to rent) for the entertainment of children and adults alike. Why can these not just be given to passengers, better still BRING BACK SCREENS IN SEATBACKS!!!"
Cons: "1. Too cold 2. Patron behind me was tall and his knees repeatedly pushed into my back through a paper thin seat back 3. Waited 45 minutes on tarmac AFTER landing to deplane"
Pros: "The boarding was smooth. The attendant at the checking was very friendly and courteous, the website information on the luggage weight was incorrectly worded and we had to transfer some of the clothing to a carrying on bag. The wheelchair attendant was very friendly and courteous she made my mother feel relaxed since it was her first time traveling alone as a disabled person."
Cons: "A snack should have been served. Only juices were served. An announcement should have been made for layover passengers to purchase food at the airport if they are unable to purchase on board with a card."
Cons: "Flight was delayed"
Pros: "Crew was friendly."
Cons: "My wife and I were seated in different rows."
Cons: "The flight was late."
Pros: "Overall air cabin crew service was great. Food was average. Seat was comfortable. Entertainment was great!"
Cons: "My elbow keeps pressing on the light button on the remote on the right arm rest which was slightly irritating. But nothing major"
Pros: "Nice new plane Decent food Very clean Friendly staff Ok entertainment"
Cons: "People had a lot of bags, and their zone boarding concept means I got on last and little to no room for my one average carry on..."
Pros: "All was well. Thanks"
Pros: "The flights were on time."
Cons: "Plane seating is so cramped, very confining. Seems worse all the time. Tall folks suffer! Airline counters not well staffed at Ft. Lauderdale, ridiculous long lines moving extremely slow. Plane full to capacity, not pleasant. They charge for everything and Rouge even worse."
Pros: "Quick easy and painless boarding and de boarding. It's been a while since I flew Air Canada and I was pleasantly surprised by the upgrades, including the tinted windows!"
Cons: "Not aconfortable plane"
Pros: "the plane was gorgeous."
Cons: "the place was huge and because everyone carries on it took a VERY long time for people to board and figure out where to put their things, many people couldn't find space for their carry-on luggage."
Pros: "Boarding process was good"
Cons: "No free snacks offered"
Pros: "The ONLY part of flying Air Canada that I used to like was your partnership with SAS, over the past ten years I have lost more airtravel points through Star Alliance troubles than I could have made in the decade before. Luckily when I fly from my birth place of St. John's NL, you're ground staff are the absolute best! I can give "shout outs" to each and every one of them. From those ready for retirement to the new staff just in from "who knows where", they get the whole "customer service" priority that your airline needs to focus on. Your management in Halifax "Sharon" is out of this world too, other than that whether through Lufthansa, Air Canada or anywhere I would travel, seeing that red leaf on your wing would make me ashamed to be Canadian."
Cons: "I paid extra for a seat to ensure leg room, all I got was ear ache! The flight - although half empty had no place for my briefcase, but I was "ordered" to push my sealskin bag under the dirty greasy seat in front of me. When I requested they store it upfront for take-off & landing - the french female steward started flirting with the man sitting next to me and didn't even offer a response. When drinks came around - I was handed a half empty glass with juice on it's exterior and borrowed a napkin from the next seat. Later I did get a napkin "thrown gently" over the person she enjoyed speaking with. I was happy to wait until connecting passengers disembarked before the local traffic, but was appalled when the more senior female steward stopped a local passenger who I know has anxiety about flying - to insist she let the other passengers off first. Air Canada needs to be educated on what human behaviour entails, before they can graduate to customer service. Together with my first name, you can know my last name is Floyd"
Pros: "Seats are comfortable and I had plenty of leg room."
Cons: "No snacks offered with drink. Boarding wasn't well organized. Toronto airport is horrible... long lines at customs and security caused me to miss my connection for the second time in a row."
Pros: "Air canada needs a serious serious overhaul of the way they treat their customers especially those working at the Toronto airport I find their employees have an "entitlement" mentality that other carriers do not Customer service seems to be a priority not talking to your coworkers about the weekend while serving your customers"
Cons: "There was one employee who suggested to take an earlier flight and was very helpful Little things go along way"
Pros: "First time flying on the largest airline in Canada and had a positive experience. From the online check in process to returning home it was a smooth trip"
Cons: "I have no gripes with the airline. Only the process of customs and security"
Cons: "Flight from Montreal to Vancouver was long with uncomfortable seats no pillow and no meals."
Pros: "Nice and professional crew."
Cons: "Customer service not very helpful. My luggage did not make connecting flight and was late arriving to destination. There was not any sense of urgency in getting my luggage to me quickly. I had to call several times for results. I did not have my luggage for more than 24 hours and nothing was done to compensate me in having to purchase basic necessities such as hygienic items."
Cons: "No entertainment unless you rented one of their iPads"
Pros: "The domestic crew were exceptionally good natured and attentive. Especially Daniela."
Cons: "Not much to like on this flight except the food. However, it's airplane food so it's expected to be not so good anyway."
Pros: "Was not delayed"
Pros: "Able to upgrade to 1st class"
Cons: "Customs what a cluster of confusion"
Cons: "Staff was rude. And I was seated next to an alchoholic"
Cons: "I was in the middle seat, and the man on my right elbowed me and did not give me room. But the worst thing, besides the awful food, was that my suitcase did not arrive! I hope it arrives today."
Cons: "Breakfast flight over 5 hours and they want you to pay for even a snack!"
Cons: "Delayed 3 hours !"
Pros: "Lots of leg room. Friendly and helpful staff. Smooth flight and comfortable seats."
Cons: "We didn't like all the walking to get to and from the plane in Terminal 2, Heathrow. Anywhere else in the world would transport people by bus if it was going to be a twenty minute walk to the departure gate."
Pros: "On the whole it was a pleasant experience despite the flight being late."
Cons: "I thought that the flight being delayed by almost 2 hours was terrible. That should not have happened."
Pros: "Everything was good, just a small plane... 2 seats on each side of the row and being tall, there just isn't room for my legs!"
Pros: "First flight I've taken in a long time where there were any empty seats. The Manchester to Toronto leg was on time and there were no hassles or problems. The crew did a good job on the meal service and were attentive for drink service throughout."

Barcelona is a nice city but I'm not a huge fan of it. I would much rather enjoy Andalucia. Having been to Morroco I would not spoil a perfect trip to Spain by going to Tangier. Have you ever been to a Mexican border town like Tijuana, Nogales or Ciudad Juarez? It's kind of like that. If you really want to go to Morroco I would do a separate trip someday in the future by flying into Marrakesh and visiting Essouira.
Thank you so much Egbert, Lincasanova, and Bedar. I feel better about the decision to skip Barcelona this trip, and I'm definitely going to cut out Morocco and Gib, as well. Going to add in Cordoba, and go from there.
Think of us when your eyes well up in the Mezquita.
We did tangiers with 2 little children as a day trip. I am so happy went. We took the high speed ferry and a tour. Many years later I continue to be happy we went.
Another suggestion: In addition to a daytrip by train to Toledo from Madrid, consider this. the high speed train from Madrid to Seville makes one stop: Cordoba. My wife and I last year left Madrid around 10, stopped at Cordoba, got off the train and stored our luggage at the bus station across the street. We then took a cab (bus is also handy) up to the cathedral and old part of Cordoba. Had lunch there, saw the sights, then made our way back to the bus station, retrieved our luggage, caught the 5 pm train to Seville, getting there about 6. The afternoon was enough time for the old town Cordoba, and allowed us to save a day backtracking.
I also enourage you to scratch Morroco, and spend some time in white villages, particularly Ronda, one of our highlights.
Click on my name, get my travel report for Spain, and my report on using Spain trains.
Spain is great, one of our favorite European trips.
I wanted to come back and thank everyone for their wonderful input. We ended up canceling this trip because I'm pregnant and suffering from terribly morning sickness. However, we plan on getting to Spain sometime very soon, so I am keeping all of your feedback tucked away so I can use it when we do get there.
This is our first summer staying home in many years, and I must say, I am not enjoying it!
Thank you all again. I'm so sad I don't have a trip report to share.
Congratulations on the pregnancy and I hope you can make your stay at home summer fun and interesting for you.
Congrats on the baby and I'm sure you'll have a much more exciting adventure starting soon.
Haven I am going to learn to jump to the last comment. I read through this whole thread before coming to the surprise ending!
Sorry to hear you are so sick, but more adventures will be coming your way soon!

The Warm Singing Style of Jeri Southern: The Complete Decca Years 1951-1957 (5-CD Box Set) Digipack
Jeri Southern (vcl), Sy Oliver, Toots Camarata, Victor Young, Sonny Burke, Jerry Fielding, Ralph Burns, Billy May, Pete Rugolo, Gus Levene (dir), Dave Barbour (g)
Reference: FSRCD 795
40-page booklet including biography, rare photos, and complete discography (matrix & catalog numbers, personnel, location and recording date). All tracks in this 5-CD set appear in chronological order of recording. This collection contains 112 songs. 72 of them from the Decca albums, and 40 were issued only as singles which, for the most part, had been previously unissued on CD.
Jeri has everything looks, personality, and her choice of material is great. She doesnt play or sing the ordinary overworked things. Man, she sells! Not since I first heard Sarah Vaughan have I been so impressed by a new singer.
Miles Davis (1949)
In the midst of the Terrible Tempest of Tortured Sounds that are being heard on records these days, Jeris soft, searching style can be considered a welcome haven in the storm.
Mel Mandel, Down Beat (July 2, 1952)
The voice of Jeri Southern is a sound thats hard to forget. As former Times arts editor Charles Champlin recalled: That smoky sound and that special way with lyrics made her just perfect for intimate clubs. She was one of the true originals.
Leonard Feather, Los Angeles Times
(August 8, 1991)

"Heres a vocalist that made a big hit in the scene for a short while, and then got out while the gettin was good. Jeri Southern, Nebraska-bred, started as a pianist but once people heard her hauntingly melancholy voice, her path was set. This essential 5 cd collection puts together all of her material from her key years, before moving to Roulette, Capitol and then finally leaving the music scene in 1961 in disgust.
While just about everything here has been available before, never have you been able to have everything during this period in recorded chronological order. Besides the music, you get a sumptuous 40 page booklet that includes her intriguing biography, an exhaustive discography (of her albums and singles-complete with matrix and catalogue numbers) a list of musicians and a collection of rare photographs of Ms Southern during various stages of her life and career. This collection puts all of the music and information together like no other project for this under-appreciated artist. During her short career, nobody except maybe Billie Holiday could come close to consistently sounding as marvelously desultory and lonely as she.
Just to give you an idea, you dont get to until half way through the second disc here until you finally get to a song that is halfway upbeat, a handful of ditties with her own trio on The Gypsy in My Soul and Its De-Lovely. The collection starts off with her most famous piece, the inforgettable You Better Go Now and it also includes the hits Someone To Watch Over Me, and Joey. Besides singing with her own trio some of the time she teams of with guitarist Dave Barbour's sensitive trio for material such as an inspiring Evrytime We Say Goodbye. Mostly, however, shes with orchestras conducted by the likes of Sy Oliver, Sonny Burke, Victor Young, Pete Rugulo and Ralph Burns. The songs? Well, 95% of the time its about Love Lost, Love Wanted, Love REALLY Lost, Love NEVER GONNA GET, Love BEING LOST, and Love WANTING TO LOSE.
The Big Bands include some real all stars, such as Hymie Schertzer/as (who is heartbreaking on his solos), George Barnes/g, George Duvivier/b, Harry Klee/as, Alvin Stoller/dr, Buddy Collete/as, Jimmy Rowles/p and Nick Fatool/dr, so youve got some guys with punch. Shes quite lyrical on the piano herself, but what youre going to take away from this collection is her ability to breath out emotion in an understated yet poignant way that few could rival. Tunes like My Ideal and Am I Blue sound utterly convincing, and when she goes to obscure pieces like Candlelight Conversation Youre Gonna Flip, Mom or Whats My Name she makes them work like a brand new recipe. Her treatment of standards are all taken down a few hues, even making Just In Time sound almost regretful. She makes Janis Ian sound insouciant in comparison. If youre ready to be taken where few people dare, Jeri Southerns voice, style and attitude will make you remember why artists are called artists. This is Blue Period singing at its apotheosis. Misery never sounded so good."
George W. Harris -October 7, 2013

"Southern was a piano player who added singing to her act and wound up recording steadily just as the LP blossomed and the demand for female vocalists spiked. In her earliest vocals for Decca in 1951 and '52, you can almost hear the basis for Chet Baker's casual, sighing singing style.
The retrospectives by Fresh Sound provide a well-rounded sense of why each singer was special. In The Warm Singing Style of Jeri Southern: The Complete Decca Years 1951-1957, a five-CD set, we not only hear Southern's voice mature over time but she's also backed by a range of orchestras and ensembles of varying sizes. You Better Go Nowher first recording in 1951remains breathtaking and was never really topped by Southern. Arranged by Tutti Camarata, the song set the stage for an entire generation of jazz vocalists who sounded like they were singing from their beds. Other set gems include When I Fall in Love, Call Me Tonight, Just Got to Have Him Around, The Man That Got Away, An Occasional Man and I'm Gonna Try Me Some Love.
Southern was best when she was committed to a lyric and put her back into it. Too often she was placed in treacly settings by Decca that made her sound like she was singing Silent Night over and over again. By far, the set's best tracks feature Southern accompanying herself on piano. On songs like It's De-Lovely, I'll Take Romance and Let's Fall in Love, you hear Southern's lush piano introductions and smart chord voicings. Also special are her tracks on piano with the Dave Barbour Trio including Miss Johnson Phoned Again Today, That Old Devil Called Love and The Very Thought of You. Listening to them now, you realize that a small group was all Southern needed to put her charm across."

"This boxset is absolutely superb, and should help Jeri Southern get more recognition as one of the greatest singers of all time. Her voice immediately grabs you...she has perhaps the most sensitive phrasing of all the singers of her time. Jeri accompanies herself on piano on many tracks, and even plays guitar on at least one track! That is rare among jazz singers.
This five CD set, as stated, includes 40 songs from singles that were not previously issued on CD or LP. But, unlike many singers of her time, whose singles were pop throw-away novelties, most of Jeri's singles were works of art worthy of being "album tracks". Now, finally they are available! Even the albums are hard to get on CD at a reasonable price. This is a great way to get it all.
The graphic presentation here is superb. A slipcase with three "triple fold" digipacks holding five CDs (on plastic holders). The 40 page book is also superb, with many rare photos and a detailed chronology/discography [...]
If you are new to the great singers, jump right in and buy this! Don't miss this one!"

Greeting, thank you for dropping in to read the blog today. I've got a great new release by Charley Descoteaux to promote today: Buchanan House. I hope you will all check out the beautiful cover and blurb, I know I am looking forward to picking up my copy.
Eric Allen, thirty-three-year-old line cook, moved in with his grandmother, Jewell, after a disastrous coming-out when he was in middle school. She raised him, and he cared for her when she fell ill. When Jewell died she left everything to Eric—angering his parents and older brother. The inheritance isn't much, but Eric and his bestie Nathan pool their money and buy an abandoned hotel on an isolated stretch of the Central Oregon Coast. The hotel isn't far from Lincoln City—a town with its own Pride Festival and named for a president—so they christen it Buchanan House after James Buchanan, the "confirmed bachelor" president with the close male friend.
Eric and Nathan need a handyman to help them turn Buchanan House into the gay resort of their dreams. Eric finds Tim Tate in the local listings and over the months leading to opening weekend Tim reveals himself as a skilled carpenter with many hidden talents. Eric falls hard for Tim, but before he can see a future with the gorgeous handyman he has to get over twenty years of being bullied and shamed by his birth family. It would be much easier if Eric's brother Zach weren't trying to grab part of the inheritance or ruin opening weekend.
Timothy Tate knocked on the front doors at eight o'clock sharp. Eric had barely been up long enough to start coffee, and Nathan had yet to emerge. They'd slept in one of the rooms on the first floor. The official reason was to avoid having to clean two rooms, but the unofficial reason was to talk into the night like they had back in middle school. Slumber parties for thirtysomethings. Somehow that didn't make Eric feel any better about meeting this Tim person.
But opening the door sure did.
Tim Tate was as tall as Nathan, so six one, and he had curly black hair and eyes so dark you could get lost in them.
"Morning." He wasn't much for smiling, though.
Tim shrugged and looked around the room. His face seemed to soften into… nostalgia? It held a wistful quality, of that much Eric was certain.
Tim had turned away a little, so the left side of his face pointed toward Eric.
Is that his best side?
He didn't answer, so Eric repeated the question, a little louder.
Nathan chose that moment to enter, in his pink robe with the ostrich-feather trim. He spoke quickly, almost dancing through the room and toward the aroma of coffee. "Good morning. You don't mind I borrowed your robe? And this must be Tim. Lovely to meet you, sweetheart. Coffee, then business." He flounced into the kitchen.
Eric and Tim watched him go. The silence in his wake stretched out a little too long for Eric, mortified by the thought Tim might believe the robe belonged to him.

Symphony No.1 in C minor Op. 40

Wetz, Richard quantity
Richard Wetz
Symphony No. 1 in C Minor, Op. 40
(b. Gleiwitz, Upper Silesia, 26 February 1875 – d. Erfurt, 16 January 1935)
Richard Wetz is a composer who is largely unknown today, both inside and outside his native country of Germany. Even when Wetz's compositions manage to get a hearing nowadays their technical competence is mentioned and then they are dismissed as being the products of an epigone of Anton Bruckner (1824-1896). Although Wetz was far more daring than Bruckner in his range of compositions (including even operas), there is no denying that in his symphonic music Wetz was indebted to Bruckner's style to an extraordinary degree.
Indeed, modernism seems to have escaped Wetz's gaze entirely, and he never deviated from the well-established compositional norms and philosophical ideals of German Romanticism. Although he received formal music instruction from an early age, Wetz was by nature an autodidact. Leipzig's famous conservatory held no charms for Wetz, who left disillusioned after only six weeks. Most of his formal education in musical composition came from private tuition at the hand of Ludwig Thuille (1861-1907) in Munich.
For a number of years Wetz was a musical journeyman, taking temporary jobs in Stralsund and Wuppertal before securing a permanent position in 1906 as the director of the Erfurt Musikverein. He went on to teach composition and music history at the Erfurt Conservatory and the Weimar Musikhochschule. Although Wetz never achieved a great level of fame during his lifetime, his works were sufficiently noticed that he was elected to the Berlin Academy of the Arts. Wetz died of a bronchial infection in 1935, just a month short of his sixtieth birthday. Due to his formal conservatism and stylistic resemblance to Bruckner, Wetz's music was much in favor during the Third Reich, so much so that Peter Raabe (1872-1945), president of the Reichsmusikkammer of the Propaganda Ministry caused a Richard Wetz Society to be founded in 1943 in the composer's hometown of Gleiwitz. After the War there was little interest in Wetz's music until the 1990s when tonal music once again became critically fashionable. A Wetz renaissance of sorts has been seen in the last decade, inspired in great part by new recordings of the composer's works by the German record label CPO.
Wetz's Symphony No. 1 was composed during the years 1915 and 1916 and was premiered in 1917 in Weimar with Peter Raabe conducting. Stylistically it is a potpourri, and one can easily hear the influence of Anton Bruckner, Johannes Brahms, and, to a lesser extent, Max Reger. Indeed, the symphony as a whole can be viewed as Wetz's struggle to obtain a musical identity of his own, a struggle that he was never able to completely overcome.
The first movement, Ruhig bewegt (anfangs etwas gehalten) is an almost textbook example of musical composition in the late German romantic idiom. Several contrasting themes are developed motivically, and generally sections are connected by the use of sequence patterns. This may be a case of where Wetz's compositional procedures are too transparent, for he seems be wishing to ensure that his audience is constantly aware of everything that he is doing. As such, the movement seems cobbled together from disparate parts.
The second movement, Scherzo. Leicht bewegt, aber nicht zu schnell, has all of the qualities and shortcomings of the first: incessant sequencing, motivic fragmentation, and an over-reliance on the grand pause. This scherzo has many of the hallmarks of Mendelssohn and Dvorák, but the constant alternation between the fast and slow sections prevents Wetz's ideas from being developed completely.
Even less successful is the third-movement adagio, Sehr langsam und ausdrucksvoll, which is neither terribly slow nor very expressive. Here the sequencing becomes almost omnipresent. Indeed, Wetz appears to have little else as a motivation for his developmental procedures.
Concluding the symphony is the movement, Finale. Kräftig und entschieden bewegt. Episodic in nature, the finale seems to be an attempt by Wetz to unify and summarize the previous movements of the symphony. Whether or not Wetz had in mind cyclic form is impossible to ascertain with any degree of certitude. There are, however, enough surface similarities among the thematic materials of the various movements to make a circumstantial case for cyclic intent on the part of the composer.
The Symphony No. 1 is a curious work in that, in many ways, it represents a regression from the compositional promise Wetz displayed in his earlier single-movement tone poem, the Kleist Overture of 1908. The symphony is four times longer than the overture, and it may be that Wetz had difficulty adjusting to the longer format. The composer does appear to be acutely self-conscious of the musical forms and devices he employs, almost as though he is making sure, like a figure skater, that he utilizes all of the «school figures» in his routine.
But it is precisely Wetz's stylistic idiosyncrasies that make his music so fascinating from an historical perspective. Wetz was a composer caught in the vortex between romanticism and modernism, but he lacked Max Reger's will-to-chromaticism and Ferruccio Busoni's transcendental formalism. It is the tragedy of Richard Wetz's career as a composer that he sought not to appropriate the past – to «make it new» in Ezra Pound's famous phrase – but to remain part of the past. It still remains to be seen whether or not Wetz's music will become part of the standard repertoire of the future. Nevertheless, he is a composer whose works deserve a respectful re-hearing.

Fun little helmet that I recently picked up. The helmet is linked to Woodstock, the great concert in history of the hippie generation. The owner lived in Boston and a Unknown band from Boston called Quill preformed during the drug fest called Woodstock.
Nice, if you scour the the old film footage you maybe able to spot it in the crowd?
I have looked and looked with no luck so far.
You and I are just a year or two apart in age and both can remember those times. It was a interesting purchase and one not seen very often and for the most not that desirable to collect but different none the less.
There was a hippie helmet posted here some years ago that got some negative replies, for what it represented. I disagreed wholeheartedly as I considered it culturally significant. Theses are rarely seen today and reflex a short moment in time that should be remembered. You should attempt to document it as best you can. It might not be a military collectable in the classic sense, but it is still collectable as a cultural relic of a bygone era. Thanks for sharing.
I agree that this is an historical/cultural curio in its' own right even if it isn't "pure" militaria. To me this is just like the many French bayonets brought back to English ports from the Napoleonic Wars and turned into fireplace companion sets (valuable antiques now!) long before the days of "up-cycling" derelict furniture into modern "shabby chic"
PS Anybody have a Hells Angels M35?
"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing he cares more about than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature with no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."
The other thread concerning a hippie piece and it was heated.
Thanks for the reference, I stand by what I said in the other post.


Action Bronson has been arrested for smoking a joint onstage.
TMZ reports that the New York rapper was detained in Kosovo after appearing to light up a joint during a show.
Bronson was performing at Sunny Hill festival on Saturday (August 11) when the alleged incident happened.
A video posted on Instagram shows Bronson lighting a rolled substance.
A police spokesman told TMZ: "Following the interview with the competent prosecutor's order the same was released." Please note the quote has been translated into English.
The media outlet also reported that Bronson is no longer in custody. It's unclear whether he is still in any legal trouble.
In June, the rapper cut off his signature beard after smoking a new strain of marijuana.
He told hip-hop radio station HOT 97: "I was high out of my mind…it was this new strain.

Al Franken Isn't Running for President
But as he told Chelsea Handler last week, he may know a few people who are.
July 14th 2017 by Thor Benson

A recent event hosted by Live Talks LA where comedian Chelsea Handler interviewed Sen. Al Franken (D-MN) was both entertaining and thought-provoking. It must be quite rare that a comedian would interview a senator who also has a history in comedy. The interview was obviously full of laughs, but it also revealed quite a bit about Mr. Franken.
As to not bury the lede, I'll say this: Franken says he has no interest in running for president, and I believe him. "I have a number of people that I think would be up to the job and who want to do it, and I think that's better than someone who marginally might be up to the job and really doesn't want to do it," Franken said during the conversation. He refused to name who he would support for president in 2020, seemingly for political reasons, but he made it clear he does see multiple candidates out there.
One of the biggest laughs Franken got was when he shared an anecdote about Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-NC). Franken said during the presidential election, when Graham was running behind most of the pack of seventeen, he saw Graham in a bathroom. Franken said he told Graham that if he had to choose one of the Republicans to vote for, it would be him. Graham responded humorously by saying, "That's my problem." Franken is constantly saying he tries to befriend people on the other side of the aisle.
Al Franken is a rare figure in many ways. He's an honest politician, to start, which is an anomaly in itself. To go further, he had a prolific comedy career, and he details in his new book Giant of the Senate that he spent much of his first term avoiding being too funny so that he'd be taken seriously in the political world. Since winning reelection in 2014, he's apparently felt more comfortable bringing out the jokes here and there, but recently he's also shown himself to be an attack dog that the Democrats desperately need.
Perhaps following in Elizabeth Warren's footsteps, Franken and Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) have become known as fierce critics of the Trump administration by using hearings for Trump's federal nominations and the Russia investigation to show they're going to hold this administration accountable. They're not fucking around. Like Warren, Franken asks tough questions and doesn't fear showing he's outraged about an issue. It would have been hard to imagine Franken grilling a nominee for secretary of education when you were watching his antics on SNL decades ago.
The most endearing thing about Franken as a politician must be his strong distaste for the always creepy and obnoxious Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX). In 2013, a Carnival cruise that got stuck off the coast of Alabama was apparently filled with piss and shit after a long wait to get towed to land. It was referred to as the "poop cruise." Franken's fellow senator from Minnesota, Amy Klobuchar, had written a joke about Cruz around that time for a dinner she was speaking at and asked Cruz if it was okay. She wrote: "When most people think of a difficult cruise, they think of Carnival. But we Democrats in the Senate think of Ted." Franken interjected after Klobuchar read the joke to Cruz and said he had a rewrite. He said his version went like this: "When most people think of a cruise that's full of shit, they think of Carnival. But we think of Ted."
Franken's interviewer, Chelsea Handler, is another person many never expected would become a prominent political figure. During the 2016 election, Handler started using her eponymous Netflix show to educate people on political issues, and it's clear she's learning with the audience. Handler had never really been politically outspoken until fear of a Donald Trump presidency invigorated her, and she's quickly becoming a prominent voice of dissent. She may be crass, but sometimes we need that.
While he may not be running for president, it's clear Franken has an impactful political career ahead of him. He has been fighting for issues like healthcare, education, and the environment since Trump took office and put those things at risk. He was fighting for those things before, but like many, Trump has caused him to kick it into high gear. He didn't rule out being a vice president during the talk with Handler, and if we learned anything from the Obama years, it can be pretty enjoyable to have a funny vice president, so maybe we should start pushing for [Anybody who's not orange]/Franken 2020.

Windsor, Ont.-based Plasman molds bumpers, fascia, grilles, exterior trim, and subsystem components for light vehicles.
Windsor, Ont.-based automotive parts maker Plasman Holdings has been acquired by private equity firm MiddleGround Capital Group for an undisclosed amount.
The injection molder manufactures bumpers, fascia, grilles, exterior trim, and subsystem components.
"MiddleGround's vision for the future of the automotive industry aligns with the challenges that we face every day," David Wiskel, Plasman president and CEO, said in an Oct. 25 news release. MiddleGround has headquarters in New York City and Lexington, Ky.
Plasman is the third platform investment MiddleGround has made from its Mobility Strategy division.
"Plastic and composite products play an important role in reducing the weight of vehicles which improves fuel economy in conventional ICE vehicles and extends range for electric vehicles," John Stewart, MiddleGround's founding partner, said in the release. "Plasman's ability to add value through assembly and painting make the company a critical player in their customers' supply chain."
Plasman operates manufacturing plants in Canada, the U.S., Mexico, Norway, Belgium, and Sweden. In late 2020, the company combined all of its global operations in the automotive, consumer, and medical markets under the Plasman brand, including moldmaker Build-A-Mold Ltd., which is also located in Windsor.
And in early October, Plasman announced that it had purchased an injection molding plant in Greer, S.C., from Chinese-owned Minghua USA, to add to its business with European car makers in North America.

... probably to burgle all the flats.
But when he realises he is on camera he saves a small child instead.
He was made a citizen immediately and given a job at the fire dept. Good for France.
Amazing! But we didn't need the 'burgling' comment.
I'm wondering what the other guy was doing, basically holding the child there so he could hand it to the immigrant superhero.
I was wondering what he was doing also, it looks a little odd that he didn't just grab the child.
The man holding on to the child was a neighbour. There was a divider between the balcony the child was hanging onto and the balcony of the neighbour, so the neighbour was unable to safely pull the child up without help.
Which was obvious to anyone actually looking close enough.
