Rocco Forte Group Impresses With Their Newest Hotel In Sicily, Opening In June 2020
Tuesday 17th of December 2019 05:45:30 PM

Rocco Forte Hotels, Sicily, Palermo, Boutique
Rocco Forte Hotels, the prestigious family-run hotel group, led by Sir Rocco Forte and his sister, Olga Polizzi, proudly announce the June 1, 2020 opening of Villa Igiea, the historical Art Nouveau palazzo overlooking the Gulf of Palermo.
Originally built to be a private villa, the influential Florio family commissioned Italian Art Nouveau architect Ernesto Basile to restore the property and turn it into a luxury hotel. Once considered the most famous retreat in Sicily, Villa Igiea has been a symbol of elegance and hospitality that has seen artists, Hollywood elite, and royalty pass through its doors.
Constructed in 1900 at the height of the Belle Époque, a period of economic prosperity dating from the end of the Franco-Prussian War to the start of World War I, the hotel is reminiscent of a magnificent castle overlooking the sea. Director of Design for Rocco Forte Hotels, Olga Polizzi, in collaboration with one of the most prominent names in the design world, Paolo Moschino for Nicholas Haslam, will oversee the meticulous restoration to preserve its exquisite historical features while keeping with Rocco Forte's signature design style. The renowned Basile room, the frescoed bar and the grand mirrored ballroom will be restoredto its natural beauty while the 104 rooms and suites will be designed to reflect a Sicilian oasis that is contemporary and classic.
Chef Fulvio Pierangelini, Creative Director of Food for Rocco Forte, will create menus featuring simple, local delicacies typical of an Italian seaside villa. Guests can dine in the main restaurant, a grand mirrored salon where the Florios used to entertain royals, on the romantic terrace, or at the pool for a more relaxed setting. Overlooking the garden, the frescoed vaulted bar,once an iconic meeting place for locals and travellers throughout the ages, will serve a feast of Sicilian aperitivi.
The impressive meetings and event space that has hosted lavish weddings, party conventions, meetings of ministers and Heads of State will also be carefully rejuvenated to accommodate groups and weddings of all sizes.
Set by the sea amongst the gardens will be the spa. Offering a Mediterranean journey of the senses framed by Sicilian majolica tiles, the typical colours of the Tyrrhenian Sea and comfortable furnishings, the treatments will be curated by Irene Forte using her Sicilian inspired products.
A true urban resort, Villa Igiea is easily accessible by land or sea and only a 10-minute drive to the centre of Palermo where visitors can admire the overpowering beauty of the city's Baroque Churches, the Norman Royal Palace or simply wander through the lively street markets. Year-round sites such as Monreale, Erice and Cefalu are only minutes away by car while in the summer, a boat is available to take guests to the stunning Mondello beach.
Villa Igiea will be Rocco Forte's seventh property in Italy and second in Sicily perfectly complementing Verdura Resort that is set along the Sicilian coast and only a 90-minute drive from Palermo.
Commenting on the opening of Villa Igiea, Sir Rocco said: "It is an honour to be able to undertake the project of restoring Villa Igiea back to its natural glory. It is an iconic hotel with the Florio family at its origin, and I am delighted that my family will now have its place in the building's marvellous history. Our guests can discover the best of Sicily by experiencing Palermo, a wonderful city which is in a moment of extraordinary rebirth, and then travel to Verdura Resort for complete relaxation."
Reservations can now be made for June 1st, 2020. For any bookings, please call us on +44 20 7148 1778 or send us an enquiry.

The size of the challenge facing a chancellor who has pledged an economy "that works for everyone" is becoming increasingly clear.
And it is not just down to Brexit.
After an Autumn Statement which abandoned pledges to hit a government budget surplus by 2020, new analysis claims the squeeze on living standards could be worse during this Parliament than between 2010 and 2015.
The report by the Resolution Foundation says lower earnings and higher inflation could mean incomes growing less than half as fast between 2015 and 2020 compared to the years following the financial crisis and the recession that followed.
It also says that the "jobs miracle" which saw unemployment fall below 5% "would not be repeated".
The figures reveal the difficult position the government could find itself in by the next election after its pledge to support those who feel themselves to be "just about managing".
The Resolution Foundation study said the freeze on benefits and rising inflation could mean the bottom third of earners seeing their incomes fall.
The findings of the study are echoed in the Treasury's own "distributional analysis" which looks at the impact of tax, welfare and public spending pledges contained in the Autumn Statement.
Those charts say that the bottom 30% of earners are likely to be worse off.
Only the top 10% of earners will see as significant a hit, with middle income families slightly better off by 2020.
The Resolution Foundation report, to be released later this morning and seen by the BBC, says: "The weak outlook for real average earnings, which the OBR [the Office for Budget Responsibility] forecasts to be £830 lower in 2020 than previously expected, means that the decade from 2010 to 2020 is set to be the weakest one for wage growth since the 1900s.
"Real weekly earnings are forecast to grow by just 1.6% over the decade, compared to 12.7% in the 2000s and over 20% in every other decade since the 1920s."
Sources close to Mr Hammond have told me the chancellor is well aware of the difficult economic situation he faces and say that is why he has made increases in UK productivity his priority.
If through investment in skills and infrastructure he can create the conditions to allow the economy to perform better, then the OBR's forecasts may prove too gloomy.
Interestingly, the chancellor relaxed the government's spending rules not to reverse the benefits freeze or cut taxes, but to invest in infrastructure (such as new roads) and "innovation", in short research and development skills.
Economic models suggest there is a direct relationship between infrastructure spending, skills investment and better economic growth and therefore wage increases.
Weak productivity growth was a major problem for the UK economy well before the vote to leave the European Union.
But, although the government announced increased spending yesterday, if private sector investment falls due to the uncertainty following the Brexit decision, then that could more than wipe out all of the fresh money being offered by the government.


Professional investors like to talk about the idea of maintaining a balanced portfolio, but what does this really mean to you? Has the global economic slowdown changed the way that we should think about investments and finances in general?
There can be no doubt that the recent problems that have had such a dramatic impact on the global economy seemed to take many experts by surprise. Those who consider themselves to be amateurs by comparison may have found this somewhat troubling. After all, if the experts don't know what's happening, then what hope is there for the rest of us?
It's also interesting to note that there are various reports suggesting that plenty of people have changed their approach to investments. An increasing number of individuals would appear to be looking for opportunities that they view as being safe.
This may be a natural response to a situation that was so closely linked with risks being taken, with the aim of making money quickly. Most of us will understand that, even though there may be winners in such a scenario, it's also clear that there must be losers.
2 What does balance mean?
Before considering this in more detail, it seems sensible to ponder what would be considered a safe investment right now. Indeed, we may well wonder whether such a thing even exists.
When reputable banks seem to be encountering difficulties, you may feel that it's not even safe to hold your money in a regular savings account. It's clear that there's a problem with the wider system here and that's something that needs to be dealt with.
In my own mind, I guess that I have a sliding scale of risk. So, looking to invest in shares for the short-term, to take one example, can often seem pretty risky to me. Holding money in a bank account, or investing in government bonds (depending on the government concerned) will be at the safer end of that notional scale.
Does this mean that there's some sort of guarantee that I won't lose money? I'm unaware of any such guarantee being available and I would not wish to suggest that this will be the case. What I would say, however, is that there's a clear benefit associated with evaluating each investment opportunity.
I've dealt with some of those issues in my other posts elsewhere, but I've no doubt that the basics still hold true. If you rush into investment decisions, then it's unlikely that you'll make wise decisions. Sooner or later, your luck is almost bound to run out.
A lot of people ask me what percentage of capital should be invested in particular shares or schemes. My own view is that there is no, single correct answer.
Your idea of balance may differ somewhat from a view expressed by others. We can be certain that your view will be shaped by all manner of variables, including your age, you current income levels and what you are planning to do in the future.
Do you understand the risks associated with your current investment portfolio?
Are you comfortable with those risks?
If you don't understand the actual risks that are involved, then it seems clear to me that you cannot possibly identify whether you have a truly balanced portfolio. Think about the fact that the nature of risks will have changed during the course of 2013.
Once you understand the issues that you are facing, you can then think about whether you are comfortable with those risks. Could it be time for you to make alternative arrangements?

Le Figuier des pagodes, ou Pipal (nom scientifique Ficus religiosa) (en sanskrit : pippala), est une espèce d'arbres du genre Ficus (famille des Moracées). Dans les textes védiques, il est appelé ashvattha. Dans le bouddhisme il s'agit de l'arbre de la Bodhi.

C'est un arbre sacré dans l'hindouisme et le bouddhisme.

Caractéristiques botaniques

Le Pipal est un grand arbre semi-sempervirent ayant une hauteur maximale de  environ, avec un tronc au diamètre allant jusqu'à .

Les feuilles ont une forme de cœur, avec une extrémité allongée caractéristique. Elles ont une longueur de  et une largeur de , avec un pétiole de .

Le fruit est une petite figue de  de diamètre, devenant violette en mûrissant.

Le Pipal est un figuier étrangleur.

Répartition
Il est naturellement présent en Inde, au Bangladesh, au Népal, au Pakistan, au Sri Lanka, dans le sud-ouest de la Chine et en Indochine.

Le plus vieux pipal au monde pourrait bien être un arbre qui a été amené d'Inde du nord à Ceylan en 288 av. J.-C. et qui en 1852 vivait encore, ce qui lui faisait alors .

Usages
Ficus religiosa est utilisé en médecine ayurvédique.

Histoire

Dans le bouddhisme
C'est un arbre sacré pour les bouddhistes. « L'arbre de la Bodhi » le plus célèbre se trouve à Bodh-Gaya, à environ  de Patna, dans l'État indien du Bihar, car c'est sous son feuillage que Bouddha, le fondateur du bouddhisme, a atteint la Bodhi, l'Éveil ou connaissance suprême (lit. l'éclaircissement).

Cet arbre est un de quatre lieux saints du bouddhisme ; c'est donc une destination très fréquentée par les pèlerins. Il jouxte le temple de la Mahabodhi à Bodh-Gaya. Tandis qu'il méditait sous cet arbre (mentionné comme Ashvattha dans le Tipitaka), Siddhartha Gautama a atteint le Nirvâna. Par conséquent, l'arbre Bo ou arbre de la sagesse est considéré comme sacré et symbolique par les bouddhistes.

Sa feuille est un motif décoratif classique.

Dans l'hindouisme
Pour l'hindouisme, cet arbre a aussi une dimension religieuse. Ses feuilles et ses branches servaient autrefois dans des sacrifices védiques. Selon la mythologie indienne, le dieu Vishnu serait né sous l'un de ces arbres, et le sage Nârada vit le Seigneur apparaître « dans son cœur », alors qu'il méditait sous un tel arbre. Enfin, le bruit du vent dans ses feuilles est comparé à celui de la vînâ. Il est également possible qu'une cérémonie ait lieu sous cet arbre lors de mariage.

A kind of warped Folktale, the video follows two women through a bizarre, broken landscape of collapsing signs and imploding meanings, on a pilgrimage to the Winter Gardens, Blackpool, to cure their green baby. In this fantastic, primitive-future world, the difference between technology and magic has become incomprehensible. Our characters become entangled in a cargo-cult of Margaret Thatcher, and buy a Maggie doll which spouts quotations to guide them when they pull its string. Red, Green, and Blue characters – that could be distorted versions of long dead political factions – appear to them amongst the many trials of their journey. The title explores the idea of the image of Margaret Thatcher as an after-burn on the collective memory of British culture.
"I am interested in belief systems, ideas of truth, power and pleasure, and how cultural memories are re-made and distorted according to the needs of each era."

Mother Lawrence, known as a "Guardian Angel" to those in crisis, has been instrumental in helping support the Anchorage community for over 55 years.
She has led an amazing life and has been nationally recognized for her beautiful heart and all that she does, without asking for anything in return. Here at Keller Williams Realty Alaska Group, we are fundraising to give back to the woman who has poured into our community for over half a century. We are fundraising for her utilities and mortgage. Won't you please help us?
Everyday at 2pm Mother Lawrence opens the doors of her home and assists the needy in Mountain View. She does this by feeding, clothing, ministering to, loving on and laughing with them. She feeds small children, sometimes as young as 2, that find their way to her doorstep after having gone without food for days. She helps couples who are down on their luck and can't afford to get married by marrying them, free of charge. She sews dresses for women who are getting out of jail so they have a reason to feel beautiful and renewed. She ministers to anyone who will listen and has even filled her home with pews so she has plenty of space to speak God's Word to the weary and restless. And if laughter is the best medicine, she can cure whatever it is that ails you. She calls it her "job" to help those in need and she truly believes that is what she has been called here to do.
*Mother Lawrence Foundation is in no way in parternship or affiliated with Keller Williams Realty Alaska Group or Keller Williams International.
I can't believe we've received over $2,000 in donations since our Keller Williams Red Day took place at Mother Lawrence's home! Thank you so much to everyone who has donated thus far and to everyone who saw our story on the news and decided to contribute! You're amazing!!
Big thank you to everyone who has donated so far to this wonderful woman and her foundation. Please continue to share the link and spread the word!Every dime helps.
It's people like this woman who make our community a better place.

Businesses in Lae affected from recent uprising
Retail specials courtesy of freedigitalphotos.net
Recent ethnic uprising in Lae had severly affected businesses in Papua New Guinea's second capital last month.
Petty crimes had caused anger amongst locals resulting in some deaths and business houses forced to close up in fear of their property being looted by opportunists.
Police were deployed from Port Moresby and Southern Highlands to beef up police numbers to contain the situation.
However a law and order committee has been set up who are working closely with ethnic representatives in the province to ensure that all comply with measures put in place by provincial and national government.
In light of this events, companies saw a down fall in production and sales takings for at least a week last month with major companies as Coca Cola.
It is unlikely that a better resolution will be made to resolve to this long-standing issue as a result of street-vendors selling items in parts of the street and at the same time involving in petty crimes as bag snatching, rape and alcohol related problems.
This now falls back on the local authorities part to come up with informed decisions to stamp out such social problems once and for all as Lae is still Papua New Guinea's economic hub that produces up to sixty percent of the country's economic income.
Are you experiencing similar problems in your country, province, town, village? or What are some ways that we can develop to rid off regionalism and work for the better?

Telikom PNG had recently marked 56 years of service in the country as regional offices including Lae celebrated in colour and style.
Lae which is based in the Momase region also joined other regions to mark the PNG nationally owned telecommunications company which had been operating solely before Digicel an Irish communication broke the monopoly in the country.
I was also fortunate to be part of the celebrations as my current employer Fm 100 is trading as Kalang Advertising Limited also was part of the historical event.

ANZ branch in Lae lies in ashes
The newly renovated ANZ branch in Lae went down in flames after marking over 100 years anniversary this year and a further K4-million renovation earlier this year.

Faulty wire cables are believed to be the main cause of the fire which saw the fourth floor guttered down. Local residents and workers rushing to get to work witnessed the ANZ burning down before them.
Fire fighters could not save most properties and did their best to hose down the flames. The fire started around 5 in the morning and continued until 8 am.
Police and the fire services are investigating what may have caused the fire while to date I have been following up to find out but all attempts have not been positive.

Running Women: The Drive to Elect More Women in 2018
Running Women
The Drive to Elect More Women in 2018
This year, women are seeking U.S. elected offices in numbers never seen before, many groomed by reenergized female-founded organizations dedicated to putting more women in America's halls of power. Will demands for full parity in society, fanned by the #MeToo movement, sweep these candidates into office? If so, 2018 could be a very big election year for American women.
Will 2018 be the New "Year of the Woman" in American Politics?
Activated American women are signing up in surprising numbers to run for offices at every level of government in every corner of the country. In the 2018 midterm general elections, 262 women are seeking seats in Congress, up from 181 in 2016, and 42 are on ballots for governor and lieutenant governor, up from just 8 in 2016, according to the Center for American Women and Politics at Rutgers University. When women run, they win just as often as their male peers — which means their outsized presence on ballots could make 2018 a historic year for women in electoral politics. But will 2018 outshine 1992, the celebrated "Year of the Woman," when the number women in Congress doubled?
TIMELINE: The Movement to Get More Women into U.S. Politics
Led first by luminaries of the women's movement, a drive to get more women into halls of political power has tackled social obstacles, campaign financing and candidate preparation. A stream of female firsts in U.S. politics has followed, and the number of women in elected offices has grown. But equal representation remains elusive.

The Forces Fueling a New Wave of 2018 Candidates
For four decades, an expanding cohort of women-led organizations have made it their mission to get more women elected to political offices across the U.S. We spoke with the women at the forefront of that movement today — and asked how they plan to turn a post-Trump surge in female candidacies into a rush of electoral victories in 2018.
Find out what these groups are planning, and join us all year as we follow 15 compelling women candidates around the country running with their support. Their stories are below and at #RunningWomen2018.
Emily's List Aims to Seize Its Moment The 2016 electoral loss to Donald Trump was heartbreaking, but angry Democratic women are planning to run for office in numbers not seen before. Here's how Emily's List President Stephanie Schriock plans to turn a female candidate surge into an 2018 electoral wave.
Stacey Abrams If the former Georgia House Democratic leader wins, she would become the country's first black woman governor and break a Republican "trifecta."
Chrissy Houlahan Angered by Trump's election, this Pennsylvania business leader and U.S. Navy veteran challenged an incumbent Republican for a seat in the U.S. House. Then he dropped out.
Michelle Lujan Grisham The New Mexico congresswoman and Hispanic Caucus chair will step down to run for governor. She would become the first Democratic woman of color to lead a state.
Emerge America is Embracing a 50-State Strategy Amid a surge in blue activism this year, Andrea Dew Steele is expanding Emerge America, which today recruits and trains Democratic women to run for local, state and federal offices in 23 states. Now, she's going nationwide.
Fayrouz Saad The former DHS official is running as a Democrat for a toss-up open seat representing Michigan in the U.S. House. She could become the first Muslim-American woman in Congress.
Debra Haaland The Democratic Party activist is running for an open seat in the U.S. House representing New Mexico. She would become the first Native American woman in Congress.
Katie Hobbs The Arizona State Senate Democratic leader and advocate for women in politics aims to replace a female Republican incumbent and become the next secretary of state.
VoteRunLead Wants Women in Power, Regardless of Party Can Erin Vilardi, founder of nonpartisan nonprofit VoteRunLead, manage huge post-Trump demand for candidate training from progressive women, and bring Republican women along?
Leah Phifer The former FBI intelligence analyst and motorcycle enthusiast ran as Democrat in a competitive race for an open Minnesota seat in the U.S. House.
Mina Davis The young entrepreneur and Democrat is running for Nebraska State Senate, and is the only person of color running for office in the entire state.
Morgan Zegers The 21-year-old college student wants to be a fresh face and vigorous advocate for Upstate conservatives within the New York State Assembly.
Crowdpac's Funding Engine is Powering Women Candidates Former Google executive Gisel Kordestani co-founded the nonpartisan crowdfunding platform to get big money out of politics. She may also help level the playing field for women candidates.
Haley Stevens This former Treasury Department official and Michigan Democrat is running for an open congressional seat in a crowded toss-up contest.
Regina Bateson The former foreign service officer and college educator is running for a California congressional seat as a Democrat, challenging an incumbent Republican climate-change denier.
Sarah Riggs Amico The "politically purple" corporate-leader-turned-candidate would make history and break a Republican winning streak, if she becomes lieutenant governor of Georgia.
Republican Efforts to Elect Women are Modest, But Vital A number of organizations are working to elect Republican women. While their impact is limited by the GOP's aversion to identity politics, equal political representation for women won't happen without them.
Shantel Krebs South Dakota's secretary of state is now running to be her state's sole U.S. House representative, aiming to succeed fellow Republican Kristi L. Noem, who is running for governor.
Lena Epstein The business owner and former Michigan Trump campaign co-chair is running for a competitive open seat in the U.S. House.
Kimberlin Brown The California soap opera star and entrepreneur made her political debut as a speaker at the 2016 Republican National Convention. Now, she's challenging an incumbent Democrat for a U.S. House seat.

What is slabjacking you may ask? If you have an area of concrete that is cracked or sinking this service is best for you. This is an alternate solution to replacing concrete. The process is simple with little damage to its surroundings.
You may be asking why your slab cracked or sunk in the first place. This happens because the soil under the slab has eroded causing the concrete to have no support. When installing a new slab have a fill such as sand to compact the base of the slab. This will give better support and have less erosion.
When you are tired of looking at the uneven slab give Acculevel a call. We offer a Free In-Home Inspection and Free estimates. Give us a call today 866-66-3349.
Thanks for describing how cracked concrete is repaired when the soil below erodes. some of the areas in my porch look like they have sunk, and I think it is dues to the soil washing away from below. I'll have to find a company nearby that does this type of repair.


Old wooden pencils can now turn back into plants, thanks to the startup Sprout World.
Based outside Copenhagen, the company makes writing implements and business cards that, when planted in soil, grow into herbs, vegetables or flowers. The idea is to inspire people to think more about where products come from and what happens when they're no longer useful.
So far, people seem to be digging Sprout's sustainable pencils. The company, which launched in 2014, says that sales are increasing.
"We as individuals know we cannot save the planet, but we can do things little by little, we can take small steps in our everyday life," Michael Stausholm, Sprout's chief executive, told The Huffington Post by phone in a recent interview from Taastrup, the Danish suburb where the company is based.
"That's what people have in mind when they buy a Sprout pencil — you can feel you can make a difference by buying something you don't have to throw out afterward, but plant it instead to give it a new life," Stausholm added.
It's a simple concept. Instead of an eraser, each pencil has a seed capsule on one end. The capsule contains one of several varieties of plants — herbs like basil or rosemary, flowers like marigolds or roses, vegetables like green peppers, and so on. Once the writing end of the pencil is all used up, you just stick the capsule end in some soil and water regularly. The seed should germinate within 1 to 3 weeks, the company said.
The concept of a plantable pencil was developed in 2012 by three students at the Massachusetts Institute for Technology. Sprout purchased the idea two years later.
The young company says its sales hit $2 million last year. It expects that figure to double by the end of this year. Disney, Ikea, Marriott and Bank of America are all clients, buying the pencils in bulk as a gift-bag novelty.
Individuals can also buy the pencils on Sprout's site, in Whole Foods Supermarkets and on Amazon, where customers have given the pencils a near-perfect rating.
Sprout pencils sit in a jar with their seed capsules sticking out.
Contrary to conventional wisdom, computers haven't rendered pencils completely obsolete. Sales of the writing implement were on pace to increase about 4 percent last year, The Wall Street Journal reported.
The roughly 15 billion wooden pencils produced worldwide each year use about 60,000 trees — which, as logs laid end to end, would stretch from Cancun to New Orleans, according to the sustainable goods site Pristine Planet. By contrast, about 4 billion of the 15 billion trees felled each year are used to produce paper.
Sprout, at least for now, doesn't include seeds for the sort of cedar pines used to make most of the 3 billion pencils produced in the U.S. each year. So using a Sprout pencil doesn't quite serve as a model for addressing deforestation.
Michael Stausholm is growing a garden from these pencils.
The wood used to make Sprout pencils in Europe comes from tree farms certified by the nonprofit Forest Stewardship Council. In the U.S., whereStausholm said it's harder to find FSC-certified forests, the company buys wood from farms verified by the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification, a Swiss nonprofit that functions similarly to the FSC but carries less prestige.
Stausholm said the company aims to use 100 percent FSC-certified wood in the future.
The same goes for the seeds included in its pencils. The company currently sources seeds from three different organic farmers, but it plans to pare that down to just one supplier.

Hearts contracts: When each and every player's deal at Tynecastle will expire
Strongest Hearts squad for years is about to get even stronger
Hearts midfielder Scott McGill leaves Tynecastle on loan
Raith Rovers have signed 20-year-old Hearts midfielder Scott McGill on loan until the end of the season.
Updated 20th Jan 2023, 3:15pm
The player is reunited with manager Ian Murray having worked with him during a previous loan spell at Airdrie last season. McGill, a graduate of the Riccarton youth academy, spent time on loan at Kelty Hearts during the first half of this season and now heads to Kirkcaldy to test himself in the cinch Championship.
McGill made his Hearts debut in 2020 against Cowdenbeath in the League Cup and also enjoyed subsequent outings against Raith, East Fife and Morton that season. He was loaned to Airdrie and Kelty for more first-team experience and that is also the main reason behind this move.
McGill's contract at Tynecastle is due to expire this summer and he will hope to do enough at Stark's Park to prove himself worthy of an extension. Murray is a fan of his ability and energy in midfield from their time together at Airdrie.
The youngster made 41 appearances and scored five goals for the North Lanarkshire side last term before playing 12 times and scoring once for Kelty this season.
His move is likely to be the first of a few loan deals agreed by Hearts between now and the end of the January transfer window. With a large first-team squad at Riccarton, some other fringe players are likely to be sent out to ensure they play regular football during the season half of the season.
The senior side are chasing third place in the Premiership and begin their Scottish Cup campaign on Sunday with a trip to Easter Road to face rivals Hibs.
Scott McGill has joined Raith Rovers on loan from Hearts.

New device could help answer fundamental questions about quantum physics
Researchers use light-guiding nanoscale device to measure and control position of optically trapped nanoparticle with record sensitivity
WASHINGTON -- Researchers have developed a new device that can measure and control a nanoparticle trapped in a laser beam with unprecedented sensitivity. The new technology could help scientists study a macroscopic particle's motion with subatomic resolution, a scale governed by the rules of quantum mechanics rather than classical physics.
The researchers from the University of Vienna in Austria and the Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands report their new device in Optica, The Optical Society's journal for high impact research. Although the approach has been used with trapped atoms, the team is the first to use it to precisely measure the motion of an optically trapped nanoparticle made of billions of atoms.
"In the long term, this type of device could help us understand nanoscale materials and their interactions with the environment on a fundamental level," said research team leader Markus Aspelmeyer from the University of Vienna. "This could lead to new ways of tailoring materials by exploiting their nanoscale features.
"We are working to improve the device to increase our current sensitivity by four orders of magnitude," Aspelmeyer continued. "This would allow us to use the interaction of the cavity with the particle to probe or even control the quantum state of the particle, which is our ultimate goal."
Making tiny measurements
The new method uses a light-guiding nanoscale device called a photonic crystal cavity to monitor the position of a nanoparticle levitating in a traditional optical trap. Optical trapping uses a focused laser beam to exert a force on an object to hold it in place. The technique was recognized by the award of the 2018 Nobel Prize in Physics to pioneer, Arthur Ashkin.
"We know that the laws of quantum physics apply on the scale of atoms and the scale of molecules, but we don't know how large an object can be and still exhibit quantum physics phenomena," said Aspelmeyer. "By trapping a nanoparticle and coupling it to a photonic crystal cavity, we can isolate an object that is larger than atoms or molecules and study its quantum behaviors."
The new device accomplishes a high level of sensitivity by using a long photonic crystal cavity that is narrower than the wavelength of the light. This means that when light enters and travels down the nanoscale cavity, some of it leaks out and forms what is called an evanescent field. The evanescent field changes when an object is placed close to the photonic crystal, which in turn changes how the light propagates through the photonic crystal in a measurable way.
"By examining how light in the photonic crystal changes in response to the nanoparticle, we can deduce the position of the nanoparticle over time with very high resolution," said Lorenzo Magrini, first author of the paper.
Collecting every photon
The new device detects almost every photon that interacts with the trapped nanoparticle. This not only helps it achieve extremely high sensitivity but also means that the new approach uses much less optical power compared to other methods in which most of the photons are lost.
Under vacuum conditions, the researchers demonstrated, for each detected photon, a sensitivity two orders of magnitude higher than conventional methods for measuring nanoparticle displacement in an optical trap. They also report that the strength of the interaction between the particle and evanescent field of the cavity was three orders of magnitude higher than what has been reported previously. Stronger interaction means that the photonic cavity can detect more information about the particle's movement.
Similar to several other research groups around the world, the researchers are working toward achieving quantum measurements. They are now improving their setup and working to substantially boost the device's sensitivity. This would allow measurements to be performed under stronger vacuum conditions that increase a particle's isolation from the environment. In addition to studying quantum mechanics, the new device could be used to precisely measure acceleration and other forces that might arise in microscopic length scales.

What Makes the Blue Diamonds Rare and Valuable?
Diamonds are wonderful creations of the Earth, who have won the hearts of human beings with their beauty and luster. The amazing sheen and the vibrant light rays reflecting off of them is hard to miss. While people adore all kinds of diamonds, but rare pieces hold a special value. The power and glory of a unique piece of diamond can illuminate our surrounding, same is the case with Blue Diamonds. Rich and rare, blue diamonds are one of the most valuable and strikingly beautiful stones in the world.
While White/Yellow diamonds are a common sight, it is the blue hue that differentiates this diamond and makes heads turn. The color, however, isn't the only attribute that makes this stone desirable. The odds of finding a blue diamond in a mine are as rare as 1 to 10,000. Here are a few more facts on the beautiful blue diamonds that have caught everyone's fancy for as long as four centuries:
Why Blue :
These rare diamonds get their mesmerizing blue color because of the contamination caused by boron atoms in the carbon atoms. Usually, the best of the blue color comes from a ratio of 1 boron to 1 million carbon atom. As the amount of boron increases, the concentration of the blue color also increases.
To find a pure blue diamond is nothing short of a miracle. This is owed to the fact that blue diamond's actually come with a secondary hue of grey or green, which are also valuable but not as desirable as their pure blue counterparts.
Color over Clarity :
Blue Diamonds, just like any other colored diamonds, are priced as per their color instead of their clarity. Sure the clarity will win them a fantastic price tag, but a bluer diamond will always steal the show.
Color Zoning:
Color zoning refers to an uneven distribution of colour in a stone. Blue Diamonds are prey to this condition. Therefore, it is difficult for a diamond cutter to craft a piece with even colour concentration, as they are reluctant to waste excess carat in this diamond shaping process.
India and Africa :
Until about the 17th century, India was the leader in producing blue diamonds, who was later overtaken by Africa, where blue diamonds started appearing in the Cullinan mines of Southern Africa.
Famous and Cursed :
Blue Diamonds have acquired the status of being one of the most sought-after diamonds in the world, especially auctions. The most expensive diamond to be sold at an auction was the 12.03 carat "Blue Moon." Apart from that, the famous 16th century "Hope Diamond," which was once owned by the French Emperor Louis XIV, is one of the incredibly renowned diamonds to have appeared in human history.
As they say, diamonds are forever; these incredibly rare possessions are definitely worthy of our love, attention, and adoration. Find such and some more exclusive pieces that'll stay forever, only with the best diamond seller in Hong Kong, KGK Group. We are committed to delivering value to our customers. Fill your world with these desires of happiness.

Our Dawn Redwood is not 13 feet tall she/he is now about 16 feet tall maybe taller now it's getting hard to measure. He / she grew at least 3 feet since we last measured him/her. Growing fast. Most luscious shade of green. We've been blessed with a lot of rain this year but in previous years we had to hook up two water bags together and put them around this tree in order to make sure he/she got enough water.
Caroline Calvin sent us a picture of her dawn redwood. Caroline said, "I took this summer before last and it's grown quite a bit more since then. In fact we had a fence put in around our property and had a very special "cut-out" made for it to accommodate its lower branches. His name is Moudao after the town in China where they were discovered. Moudao is also known as Modaoq or Mootaouchi depending on who you talk to, but all are part of Lichuan County in Hubei Province, China. I first planted him as an experiment back in 2003. He was just a short little thing back then. I'm pretty good at growing stuff so I hoped he would grow. I had no idea just how wonderfully he would turn out and how beautiful he is maturing. His trunk is really growing large these days as well. His leaves (needles) are mostly dropped now for winter. But that doesn't seem to matter to the squirrel and the Blue Jay that have made their homes in it, lol.
Where I live, is in a small town called Seneca, Illinois. We are approximately 95 miles southwest of Chicago along the Illinois River".

Autocatalytic closure, first at the level of the organism, and then at the level of the conceptual network, may bring about a phase transition in the degree to which information is locally amplified. If, as Chalmers (1996) speculates, information has a phenomenal aspect, this may also cause a phase transition in degree of consciousness.

1. Combs (1999) has provided a thoughtful commentary. His suggestions for exploring the relationship between the autocatalytic theory of mind and the subjects of consciousness and dynamical, holographic models of memory, inspired a new paper which is summarized below.
2. Since an organism eats other living things to survive, it must behave as if it values its own subjective experience more than that of the entities it consumes. Thus we may underestimate the degree to which non-self entities are conscious, where self is viewed in an extended sense; i.e., we tend to empathize with (experience what it feels to be) entities that are genetically (or memetically) similar to us. Since there is reason to believe that our intuitions about consciousness are warped, claims that Chalmers (1996) double aspect theory of information is counterintuitive cannot be treated as serious counter-evidence. The obvious question, then, is: what sort of architecture could coerce bits of phenomenally-endowed information to integrate their individual subjectivities into a single, concentrated subjectivity, such that the consciousness of non-self aspects of the world appear negligible by comparison?
3. In virtue of the fact that they are autocatalytically closed (Kauffman 1993), living things are nonsymetrically inward- biased; that is, they trap information like light caught in a sphere. Thus information is locally amplified. Moreover, an autocatalytic system generates not just novel informative components, but exactly those whose information-providing potential can be exploited by what is already in place, thereby enabling the system to function as a unified whole.
4. In humans, information is further amplified and integrated through a second tier of autocatalytic closure: memories (attractors in the space of possible experience) are integrated into a conceptual web, or worldview, through the emergence of abstractions (lower-dimensional attractors). As proposed by Richardson (1999), perceptual information is viewed as conveying changes in the hyperstructures, (or nested covariations, or bundled phase relations) of stimuli. Since these changes have direction, they are actually momentum values. Thus the attractors are interference patterns between (1) perceptual and (2) goal/drive/emotion momentum information, i.e., memory can be viewed as holographic (Pribram 1971). Experience is then a self-similar stream of holographic interference patterns. There is an uncertain relationship between the momentums of instants of experience, and the (distributed) locations in memory where they get stored. Though the interference patterns are not distributed throughout the memory, but constrained, autocatalytic closure ensures a path of associative recall from any one memory to another. Also, since the memory is autocatalytically closed, we have the functional equivalent of a concave surface. Streams of thought are focused by reflecting off this concave surface, and amplified through resonance of memories with similar phase relations. (My borrowing of concepts and terminology from optics is not unique, as there is a long history of using light as a metaphor for consciousness and insightful experience.)
5. If we reject dualism out of hand, we must explain how first person qualia could emerge from nothing. Either that, or conclude that consciousness is an illusion (Dennett 1991). The line of reasoning presented here suggests that it is the relative paucity of consciousness in the universe that is an illusion. The miracle of consciousness may be, not that you or I have conscious experience, but that the consciousness everything else is experiencing doesnt usually interfere.

Capturing Food in Art Frames
13/06/2018 Talk
One of my biggest concerns, when the blog was taking off five months ago, was photographs. I could manage the touristy/birthday photos with my little camera. But I needed better.
While I was struggling with these issues and hoping I could get the blog rolling on time, someone told me that an "awesome" photographer was about to conduct a food styling and photography workshop. "This girl is really good with her stuff and is the preferred photographer for most food places in this city," was the diktat. I did my bit of stalking on social media and fell in love with her vision.
Off I went to the workshop, armed with my tiny camera and a smartphone, excited about learning something new. No one told me I would feel like a fish out of water because almost everyone in that room had a DSLR and there were some professional photographers and bloggers too!
"Doomed," I thought.
Because not only did Krishna study my phone camera's settings and teach me the basics, she even took time out to understand and explain the settings of my archaic camera. She sent me home enlightened and hopeful.
Simple, smart, brilliant, helpful! That was my first impression of Krishna Lalbhai, one of the most sought-after food stylists and photographers in Ahmedabad. I thought she was born with the camera around her neck! And then I learned she is a civil engineer by education. Stunned?
Here are some bits and pieces from a conversation with Krishna Lalbhai of The Kitchen Trail fame.
First flush and the following lull
The true-blue Ahmedabad girl completed her schooling in her city, got a civil engineering degree and even went on to get a post-graduate degree green building design before she stepped into the field of photography. "Photography had always been a part of life. But it was while studying in Sheffield when I first tried to work with it," says the girl whose only training in photography is a three-month course during graduation.
"Sheffield hosts an annual event called Tramlines Festival where they are open to volunteers who click photographs of the various gigs. These volunteers are given free passes to go up close to the stage. I went for that. It was fun. I took some pictures that the festival organisers put up on the website. That got me pumped up and thinking about pursuing photography."
But all that enthusiasm dimmed after Krishna returned to Ahmedabad in December 2012 and joined an office. Caught up in life, it took a friend's call seeking help for a fashion shoot to bring her back into the game. This was in July 2013.
"It was one of those style shoots where they wanted a white background with their clothes and then they wanted one that was more of an outdoor thing. Back then, the only time I had for a shoot was the weekend. I took a day off to arrange for basic lighting and the setup. Then, it was two days of shooting and two nights of editing." Accompanied by her biggest champion, her fiancé and now husband Mohal, our girl delivered and how!
Work started trickling in and then, with a few assignments to her credit, Krishna – who lists Vivian Maier, Jessica Walsh and Dudi Ben Simon as her favourite photographers – took the plunge. "In December 2013, I left my job. I took up all kinds of projects for two years. I was clueless about what I wanted to do. Up until 2016 when I stumbled upon these really cool food bloggers who were posting what they are making and what they are doing. I found that interesting."
Twists, turns and the naming game
The universe came together to give Krishna her chance to work on this interesting aspect and in December 2016, she worked on an experimental collaboration with a friend who was starting her own food journey. She continued her experiment with another upcoming food blogger. The experiments worked out just fine it seems because, in May 2017, the Kitchen Trail was launched.
"It took me four years to figure out my way, that's too long," mulls Krishna, until I quiz her about the name and the idea.
"Oh God! I can't even tell you how much time it took to decide the name. Finding the correct name was important. I can't build a brand halfway and then decide to change it. It took me four months to decide on the name and until then, I did not have a website, a blog or an Instagram handle."
"Why the Kitchen Trail? See, I am not much of a cook, which is kind of ironic since I am styling and clicking food. Most food blogs/handles are about cooking, recipes and how you make things. I wanted the name to be more of a journey, about being someone who had not stepped into the kitchen to being someone who is connected with food. I wanted it to be about a journey starting outside the kitchen and then went into the kitchen."
That was the initial idea but today, the name has become much more and much different now. "But I think I am okay with the name. It is versatile in so many ways," shares the shutterbug, who has seen nothing but support from her family.
Growing, learning, creating
Prod her about the difference between when she started and today, and Krishna says, "I have my own style now which is really important. Like everyone else, in the beginning, I tried to see if I could replicate work or use that as a reference and do similar work. If I see those pictures today, I do feel that I could change things but I don't regret them. Had I not clicked those then I would not have been here."
And what would that style be?
"I prefer photographs that are not noisy, are a little decluttered, mostly clean, vibrant and fresh. But sometimes I do like the dark and moody too. I prefer the summery look but some foods just don't go with it. But you will always find both on my social media handles. I love working with colours. When I think about what my feed should look like, I think darks, bright and then a pop of blue in the middle. Blue and orange are my favourite combination."
Don't forget the hands that keep popping up in the photographs! "I love action photos! Even though I've always been a fan of products and places where I don't have to use too many human elements, I think it is important to have a feel of lifestyle or a human edge in your pictures. So every shoot that I do, I like to do one or two pictures where I have a hand. It adds to making me feel connected to the picture. Food is something we all enjoy and in India, we eat with our hands a lot and I think it is important to have a part of the body or bit of hands showing in the picture."
Trade secrets and natural preferences
And what is the secret to her styling? "Usually, it's about getting the vibe of the place in the picture; what the place looks like helps me think. If the space is nice and vibrant, I don't want to use dark there. And then I just know once I start setting things up," says Krishna.
Cooking, attempted styling and clicking photographs tend to drain me, especially the process of racking my brain on how to style something. Krishna makes it sound like a breeze! "I think it is putting everything together knowing this is the way I want this photo to look and this is my version of what it is. I guess you could say the way an artist mixes colours, I mix different things to make a good frame."
So does that degree in engineering that is gathering dust somewhere in your cupboard help in any way? "You will notice most architects, designers and engineers are always good photographers. We are taught to look at things in a certain way. I do interior and travel architecture photography as well so when I travel, most of my photography is about buildings. I have lots of lines in my photographs. In fact, apart from food and products, architecture and interior shoots are my other favourite."
A year-long journey and a longer way
"I think the past year I've realised that styling is what I've enjoyed most. I've figured out so much that I can do and it has led me from doing food to products as well. Doing both simultaneously is not easy. Most people who seek these services employ a stylist and a photographer but I work by myself. But now I want to concentrate a bit on the styling and do a lot of collaborations with brands instead of just giving services. That's where I am looking at for myself. I don't know how long that will take, but I am definitely getting there."

With all due comparisons to the video game The Last of Us considered, this zombie apocalypse film has more on its brain than mindless carnage. From director Colm McCarthy, the film works within well-trotted territory to deliver scenes that will frighten and intrigue often at the same moment. Following a young girl named Melanie, played by a pretty spectacular newcomer Sennia Nanua, who is infected with a fungal zombie-like virus before she is forced from her daily routine and into the hostile world of survival.
While never glorifying the violence of the film, it does a good job at using gore to emphasize the critical decisions of all the main characters, even at the expense of a few fluffy friends. Several surprising moments will cause both tension and confusion from the audience as a little retrospect will completely undo some sequences and decisions. But it is never so much to intrude on the tale of humanity's survival.
Mainly focused on a group of soldiers after their compound is not longer deemed safe, the group must keep pushing forward if they are to ensure that they make it to the next day.
The performances from Gemma Arterton and Paddy Considine work well in understated caricatures that unfortunately are never fully developed due to the limiting source material. The filmmakers work well in creating their destroyed, apocalypse-ridden English countryside with a muted colour palette and fairly average cinematography that provides more of a backing to Nanua's performance more than creating the most compelling imagery possible. If zombie films pique your interest and you are looking for something that fits the mould and brings a few new ideas to the mix, then there are plenty worse films you could check out.

Dione Kenyon to retire from JBT next year
Warwick, R.I.--Dione Kenyon, president of the Jewelers Board of Trade, announced that she will retire from the association in 2016, with a timeframe that's dependent on when the organization can find a replacement.
Dione Kenyon
The association said that it has appointed search and transition committees to help guide it through the leadership changeover.
Kenyon has served as the president of the JBT for the last 14 years.
She has been with the organization for a total of 25 years, starting in 1991 as a board director.
With more than 40 years overall in leadership positions in credit, financing, and marketing mostly within the diamond and jewelry industry, Kenyon also has served on industry boards including the Women's Jewelry Association, Gemological Institute of America, Jewelers Vigilance Committee and more.
"We thank Dione for her contributions to JBT and to our industry for the majority of her career," said JBT Chairman of the Board Richard Weisenfeld. "Her passion and vision are evidenced in the strength of the organization she and the JBT staff have built, the depth and quality of services provided, and the reputation JBT has gained as a critical information source for tracking key industry metrics, as well as for specific credit data on over 30,000 companies."
He added that during her time at the JBT, Kenyon moved the association to a 24/7 online information platform, modernized their credit reporting and rating systems, launched a mobile version of the JBT's Red Book resource and leveraged JBT's data more fully to provide robust statistics, state of the industry and trend reporting, custom research, and outreach.

Prompted by a BBC News report a new thread has been created for this small country, that tries to simply survive amidst a hostile environment with a surfeit of enemies to hand and a some friends too.
IS and al-Nusra recruiters have found rich pickings for their cause here: more than 2,000 young Jordanians have left for Syria to join proscribed terrorist groups....Jordan is formally at war with IS after it burned to death one of its downed pilots in January....Western diplomats in the region fear it could be only a matter of time before IS hit back with an attack inside Jordan.
IIRC the pilots murder appeared on SWC within the main ISIS thread.
Interesting that this post shows up a weekend after I return from supporting Exercise EAGER LION for 35 days in Amman. I'll be the lead planner for it next year and already have about six months of interaction with the Jordanian Armed Forces under my belt.
it is a very unique country with a long and rich history, beautiful landscape throughout its border, and a largely welcoming people.
I read "The Prince of Our Disorder" last year and although it was focused on Lawrence's psychological makeup, it was filled with historical tidbits that frame the Sykes-Picot Agreement, Turkish and British ambitions on the region, and the backstory behind the Hashemite Kingdom very well.
While Syrians constitute the largest segment of foreign nationals in Jordan, however, the census shows that some 3 million of its 9.5 million residents are not Jordanian. These include nearly 636,000 Egyptians, 131,000 Iraqis, 31,000 Yemenis, 23,000 Libyans, and 634,000 non-naturalized Palestinians.
King of Jordan dismisses his 3 brothers; Faisal, Ali and Talal from Jordanian army command after evidence of them contacting Saudi leaders Mohammad bin Salman and Mohammad bin Zayed to formulate a coup against him. All 3 brothers are now under house arrest.
The Jordanian military has maintained that the brothers and cousin were retired early as part of the military changes to the Jordanian Army and have refused to comment further on the news that they have communications with Saudi and Emirati leaders. The brothers and cousin have not been seen since the house arrest.
Nothing elsewhere so far on the King's statement.
Al-Sura, an independent media platform for citizen journalists, tweeted speculation that Prince Feisal, Prince Ali and Prince Talal had been in contact with Saudi leaders to formulate a coup against Abdullah.
Jordanian media have not yet addressed such speculation.
Reaction by Jane's is no surprise: in specific cases they 'must' react in specific ways.
Jordan has economic troubles of its own that more than match Russia's. A decrease in financial support from Gulf states means the authorities are facing a $700 million budget deficit, and have taken the deeply unpopular route (http://www.aljazeera.com/news/2018/02/jordan-economic-crisis-threatens-political-stability-180214112245542.html) of raising taxes on basic foodstuffs, including bread, by 50-100%.Link:https://www.opendemocracy.net/paul-rogers/syrias-wars-new-dynamic?
Jordan has always been torn between regional threats and internal socio-economic pressures. Alongside its concerns over the Syria crisis and the Israel–Palestine conflict, a major challenge facing Jordan is the need to reinvigorate its domestic economy.
