In 1943, Eleanor Roosevelt dedicated Franklin Delano Roosevelt's and her former townhouse to the college; the building was reopened in 2010 as the Roosevelt House Public Policy Institute at Hunter College. Hunter College is anchored by its main campus at East 68th Street and Lexington Avenue, a modern complex of three towers — the East, West, and North Buildings — and Thomas Hunter Hall, all of which are interconnected by skywalks. The college's official street address is 695 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10065. The main campus is situated within walking distance of Central Park, as well as many of New York's most prestigious cultural institutions, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Asia Society Museum, and the Frick Collection. The New York City Subway's 68th Street – Hunter College station (6 trains) on the IRT Lexington Avenue Line is directly underneath, and serves the entire campus. Adjacent to the staircase to the station, in front of the West Building, sits an iconic Hunter sculpture, "Tau", created by late Hunter professor and respected artist Tony Smith.

INTC - Intel Corp. – Shares in the world's largest chipmaker extended losses today, falling 2.25% to $23.46 in the first half of the session, following Intel's announcement on Monday that fourth-quarter revenue would be lower than previously estimated due to shortages in hard disk drives. A sizable bearish put spread initiated in the July 2012 contract this morning may be one investor's strategy to benefit from possible sharp share price erosion over the next seven months. It looks like the trader purchased a roughly 10,000-lot July 2012 $23/$17 put spread for a net premium of $1.60 per contract. The investor responsible for the transaction may profit at expiration in the event that Intel's shares drop 8.8% to trade below the effective breakeven point on the spread at $21.40. Maximum potential profits of $4.40 per contract are available on the trade should the chipmaker's shares plummet 27.5% to settle below $17.00 at expiration day next year. Shares in INTC last traded below $17.00 back in July 2009. The company is scheduled to report fourth-quarter earnings on January 19, 2012.
MYL – The global pharmaceutical manufacturer released the final findings of an FDA investigation review of its Morgantown W Va. manufacturing plant, which came under the microscope following a local newspaper's scathing report alleging health and safety wrong doings. The FDA found nothing wrong with the operations, much to the pleasure of Mylan shareholders as new investors sent its shares higher by 3.8% to $14.12. Mylan's valuation now stands above the point it was trading at the day prior to the story. Shares fell from $13.93 to $11.66 on the report prompting investors to seek the safety of protective puts. Investors today are taking a different take and have scooped up almost 10,000 bullish call options expiring in September granting rights to buy shares at a fixed $15 per share. The number of open positions at that strike as of Wednesday evening was 8,576 contracts. Investors paying 55 cents for calls are predicting a break to a fresh 52-week high for Mylan's shares indicating a rally by as much as 10% within a month. Around four times the number of calls traded today compared to puts. – Mylan Inc.
MU – The demand for call options on the manufacturer of flash memory products far outweighed that of calls as investor activity drove the call-to-put ratio up to more than 25-to-1. The call option feeding-frenzy was likely induced by the more than 3.5% rally in shares of MU to $7.00. About 1,000 calls were picked up at the nearer-term September 8.0 strike price for an average premium of 15 cents apiece. Bullishness spread to the October contract where traders splurged on 5,600 now at-the-money October 7.0 strike calls for an average premium of 66 cents each. Finally, traders got long of some 7,500 call options at the higher October 8.0 strike for about 40 cents per contract. A 20% increase over the current price per share by expiration, would allow investors long the October 8.0 strike calls to begin to accumulate profits above the breakeven point at $8.40. – Micron Technology, Inc.

Blahoslavený Luigi Caburlotto (7. června 1817, Benátky – 9. července 1897, tamtéž) byl italský římskokatolický kněz a zakladatel kongregace Dcer svatého Josefa. Katolická církev ho uctívá jako blahoslaveného.

Život
Narodil se 7. června 1817 v Benátkách jako syn benátského gondoliéra. Vstoupil do benátského semináře a na kněze byl vysvěcen 24. září 1842. Jako kněz pracoval s mladými lidmi, kteří byli buď opuštěni nebo bez domova. Studoval sociální situaci obyvatelstva a kladl důraz na mládež. Dne 30. dubna 1850 založil školu pro chudé a opuštěné dívky. Tím také založil kongregaci Dcer svatého Josefa.

Kladl důraz na katechetickou formaci lidí a zdůrazňoval, že je důležité často přijímat svátosti.

Roku 1857 založil domov pro chudé dívky a roku 1859 komplex pro chudé. Dále byl zakladatelem školy (1869), která sloužila pro odbornou výuku pro muže. Roku 1881 převzal několik chudých škol a oživil je svým personálem a zdroji.

Do té doby zůstal ve svém farním domě kvůli nedostatečnému zdraví. Poslední roky svého života strávil mimo své instituty a žil klidný a soukromý život. Kvůli zdraví nemohl instituty navštěvovat.

Zemřel 9. července 1897 zaopatřen svátostmi za přítomností patriarchy a kardinála Giuseppe Melchiorre Sarta, pozdějšího papeže svatého sv. Pia X. Dne 1. března 2009 byly jeho ostatky přeneseny do kostela svatého Šebestiána v Benátkách (dříve bylo pohřbeno v kapli generální kurie jeho sester).

Proces blahořečení
Proces byl zahájen 14. září 1963 v patriarchátu Benátky.

Dne 2. července 1994 papež sv. Jan Pavel II. uznal jeho hrdinské ctnosti a tím získal titul ctihodný.

Dne 9. května 2014 byl uznán zázrak na jeho přímluvu. Blahořečen byl 16. května 2015 papežem Františkem.

Ferruccio Ferragamo
Chairman & President, Salvatore Ferragamo
executives 2013
As steward of his father's storied brand, he steered the company through its IPO while maintaining its 'Made in Italy' legacy.
What is the BoF 500?
The BoF 500 is the definitive professional index of the people shaping the $2.4 trillion fashion industry, hand-selected by the editors of The Business of Fashion, based on hundreds of nominations received from current BoF 500 members, extensive data analysis and research.
Ferruccio Ferragamo is president of Salvatore Ferragamo and chairman of its board. The eldest son of Italy's most iconic cobbler oversaw his father's company's initial public offering in 2011, and continues to manage the overall brand and its operations. As of December 2016, Ferragamo directly operates 409 stores and, with the inclusion of franchise stores and other distribution outlets, is sold in 90 countries.
One of luxury's most established players, the Salvatore Ferragamo brand specialises in measured elegance, selling footwear, leather goods, clothing, silk products, leather accessories and fragrances for men and women, all of which are made in Italy. "It's very important to remain what you are," Ferragamo told The Australian. "We have gone through trends or periods where, you know, our products were maybe too conservative versus the market that was very trendy or fashion forward. We have always tried to follow the trends of the market but never be too extreme. We have treasured the fundamentals of the company."
Ferragamo has ensured his family legacy will remain intact by giving it relevance and always looking forward. "Yes, we are very lucky. I think we have everything that we would like and we thank God every day. But we also realise that you need to look ahead and think, 'what does our customer want tomorrow?' and 'how is the market turning, how is the world turning?'"
Although the company is public, the Ferragamo family still owns a large stake in the business and oversee management and operations. Ferruccio Ferragamo's son, James Ferragamo , is currently vice president and women's and men's shoes and leather goods division director.

Nowadays, businesses are faced with mountains of information. Traditionally, most information has been paper based and organisations have been responsible for ensuring their most vital data is secure, well organised and available to those who require it.
Today however, organisations are encouraged to store information digitally, and it's more important than ever to ensure that all information is readily available and secure for quality control, auditing and compliance purposes at all times.
Effective digital storage and process automation can eliminate this paper chase. Together, they provide support to achieve the required levels of quality and service to compete at the highest level, and achieve a sustainable competitive advantage.
When a workflow is automated, the appropriate employee or stakeholder is made responsible for each step of the process. With these responsibilities also comes expectations to perform a specific action delegated by the manager. These responsibilities drive efficiency as they enable transparency throughout the entire process, allowing for greater control and accountability, Consequently, applying automation to your business will help you identify bottlenecks and provide visibility of which tasks are taking the longest, or at what point a task tends to get delayed most frequently.
Long-term, enriching data within an organisation will help drive productivity, improve accountability and help businesses to continuously improve. Digital solutions are becoming more sophisticated, allowing systems to grow as the business expands. Companies should consider this when implementing any new system to avoid extra costs in the future and to also ensure the solution is solving the issue in question, as well as considering any knock-on effects the implementation is likely to cause to the current business set-up.
Process automation and workflow require extensive planning, but the benefits can certainly outweigh the cost if used correctly. Better service, lower costs, greater productivity, and collaboration are just a few.
Do you have a manual, paper-based process that is costing your business time and money? Tell us what process you would like to fix and our highly experienced team will work with you to find a solution.


An inner focusing movement meditation practice involving listening to your body & allowing your body to move you.
Authentic Movement is a type of mediation that occurs by closing your eyes and listening to your body – as you listen to your body with this inward focus, you will find a natural state -- through an unfolding process that can be active, taking you through the room; or deeply internal, where you may not be moving in any perceivable way to your outside observer. This observer is called the witness. The experience occurs in pairs. One person moves while another person witnesses, from a place of respect and attunement. The witness stays attuned to his/ her inner experiences & reactions to your movements. It is an active place of observing. After your movement experience you both have the opportunity to process and share your experiences, through art work, writing and talking. Verbal sharing is done in a very particular way, respecting that you always have the options to not share your experience. The witness never assumes s/he knows what your experience is for you, but rather explains the images and sensations that have come up for her or him. As you listen, you attend to your reactions, to see if any of these images resonate with your experience. Then you switch, with your witness moving and you witnessing.
Experienced in a group setting, the witnesses sit in a circle around a clear open space in which the movers move. Several movers are moving simultaneously, with their respective witnesses attending to them personally. All moving together with eyes closed or inwardly focused, can be quite a profound process. Unknowingly movers will often pick up on each others actions, moving in synchrony and harmony. Often, as you stay attuned to yourself, sub-conscious and unconscious material will rise to your consciousness through your felt-sense. It is a very respectful and insightful process that involves deeply listening & allowing you to be "seen" by another.
This Coming Back to Self workshop series invites both experienced and new explorers of movement meditation to dialogue with their "sensational voice" as it unfolds their life story. Processing elements include breath awareness, journaling, music, poetry and art media.

Open Access Dissertations and Theses
The hymnological contributions of Basil Manly, Jr. to the congregational song of Southern Baptists
3148551.pdf (13.39Mb)
Platt, Nathan Harold
Crookshank, Esther R.
Manly, Basil,--1825-1892.
Southern Baptist Convention--Hymns--History and criticism.
Hymns--Study and teaching.
Church music--Southern Baptist Convention.
This dissertation examines the contributions of Basil Manly Jr. to the congregational song of Southern Baptists. Chapter 1 provides an overview of the study, introduces the hymnals compiled by Basil Manly Jr., and identifies his contribution of original texts and tunes to the repertory of Southern Baptist hymnody. Chapter 2 focuses on the collaboration of Manly Jr. with Basil Manly Sr. in the compilation of The Baptist Psalmody (1850). The first Southern Baptist hymnal was developed in response to the dominance of The Psalmist (1843) in Northern states and the need for a comprehensive hymnal suited to congregational singing of Baptists in the South. The Psalmist's omission of popular hymns and the opposition to this hymnal are discussed in detail. "Standard hymns" among Southern Baptists of the mid-nineteenth century are identified through comparative analysis of the period's most significant Southern Baptist hymnals and tunebooks. The Manlys' editorial values are discussed and the contents of The Baptist Psalmody are contrasted with those of The Psalmist . Chapter 3 concerns Manly Jr.'s first musical compilation, Baptist Chorals (1859). It was intended to promote congregational singing among Baptists at large and designed to serve as a tune complement for both The Baptist Psalmody and The Psalmist . Notable aspects of Baptist Chorals include Manly Jr.'s philosophical preface on congregational song, the juxtaposition of old and new tunes with multiple texts at each opening of the hymnal, and a standardized musical format. Chapter 4 examines Manly's Choice (1891) and its musical edition, The Choice (1892), as compendiums of evangelical hymnody. Manly Jr.'s efforts to disseminate their repertories of historic texts and tunes among Southern Baptists of the late nineteenth century are discussed. Finally, the contents of The Choice are compared with Southern Baptists hymnals of the twentieth century. Chapter 5 draws conclusions on the significance of Basil Manly Jr. in the development of Southern Baptist hymnody. The twelve appendixes include first-line indexes and tune indexes to Manly Jr.'s hymnals, lists of "standard" hymns among nineteenth-century Southern Baptists, the complete prefaces to his hymnals, and a presentation of his original hymn texts and tunes.

                 +------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

Overview
--------

Command and control is the system by which commands are received and
executed on the satellite. Commands can be received from external (a
radio) or internal (the command line client) sources. The received
commands are routed to the appropriate service.

Services can expose or implement any desired functionality that is
needed for a specific hardware interaction, future job scheduling or
mission requirements.

System Design
-------------

The command line client is exposed in the KubOS Linux shell as the
``c2`` command.

Commands entered into this client will be encoded into a CBOR `Concise
Binary Object Representation <http://cbor.io/>`__ message format and
packed into a CSP packet and sent to the command service.

Existing functionality in the Kubos platform will be exposed in groups
bundled into unique services.

The command service will first parse and look for a service (executable)
name, and a set of optional arguments. These will be used as follows:

-  Service name - The base name of the service containing the desired
   functionality (Core, Telemetry, CSP, HAL, IPC, etc.).
-  Optional arguments - The remaining arguments provided will be passed
   through to the service to parse and handle as it pleases.

The command service will look for a corresponding executable from a
fixed path (``/usr/local/kubos``) containing all of the service
executables.

Once the API call returns, a CBOR-encoded message containing the
execution time, the return code and any output from the command will be
returned to the client.

**Note:** Currently only the stdout from the service execution is
returned to the client after running a command.

Service Design
--------------

Services will need to be compiled as binaries and have the appropriate
argument parsing abilities to expose their desired functionality. See
the `Kubos Core Command
Service <https://github.com/kubos/kubos/tree/master/commands>`__ for
an example of how this is implemented.

Existing Services
-----------------

Currently only the "core" commands service is implemented for the ISIS
iOBC. This library implements the following commands:

+-----------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Command         | Function                                                                                |
+=================+======================================================================================================================================+
| ping            | Run a "no-op" command through the system to ensure it is active and configured correctly                                             |
+-----------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| info            | Returns the "build info" or version information from the iOBC supervisor                                                             |
+-----------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| reboot          | Power cycles the iOBC for several seconds.                                                                                |
+-----------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| reset           | Performs a full software reset of the iOBC supervisor and iOBC                                                                       |
+-----------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| emergency-reset | Performs an immediate reset of the iOBC and supervisor. This command can be damaging to the supervisor. Reset should be used instead |
+-----------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

Examples
--------

Running one of the above commands from the core command library
would look like the following:

Ping:

::

        $ c2 core ping

Info:

::

        $ c2 core info

Congratulations! You have now run your first commands through the command
and control system

Meet the Finalists of Australia's First Legal Gay Wedding Competition
Australia's First Legal Gay Wedding Competition Finalists
Same-sex couples are now legally allowed to marry in Australia after the Marriage Act changes became law at midnight last night.
The first marriages will now be held in the second week of January as celebrants around the country from today will no longer state the union is between "a man and a woman".
Eikon together with Gay Sydney Australia and 20 amazing wedding suppliers across Sydney have been running a competition over the past month to find a couple to win Australia's First Gay Wedding.
Today we announce the finalists that have been selected for a chance to win this amazing $40,000 wedding.
The finalists have been chosen from all of the entries received and judged by a select panel from the wedding suppliers, Eikon, Gay Sydney Australia and Mr Gay Pride Australia.
Each of the entrants had to submit a statement as to why they should win the competition as well as any other photos or videos that might help in their selection. Those are listed below for the finalists.
1. Christopher & Joshua
On the 22nd March 2014 I asked my partner of 8 years to marry me while watching the sunrise on Hamilton Island. Heavy rain in the lead up had me nervous that it was going to be a washout but the sun prevailed and he said yes.
It has now been over 3 years and we have been patiently waiting and it feels like the clouds are now parting and that day will come very soon.
In the years we have been waiting to marry we have lost loved ones along the way who would have loved to celebrate with us and now we are approaching the passing of the law it feels almost unreal, love really does win.
To win Australia's first legal gay wedding would allow us to celebrate with our family and friends while also sharing it with the country that love comes first. It would also allow us to marry sooner to ensure all of our family and friends would be able to attend and celebrate.
Why should we win? I think we all win just by having the laws reflected to make us equal. We want everyone to have the chance to win so good luck to everyone 🙂
2. Jessica & Bernadette
My partner and I have been engaged for many years just waiting for the opportunity to get married and share our love story with our families. We have been struggling to get funds to have a magical day.
We have had a whirlwind romance like something out of the movies. We met and work and all it took was for Bernadette to smile at me and then I was in love.
We have managed to create a life full of love and happiness but we are missing that one thing we do desperately want and that is to proclaim our love in front of our family and friends.
The day the SSM results were announced we were sitting in the car and we both were brought to tears because we were so much closer to being equal with the rest of the world.
3. Dylan & Dean
I (Dylan) proposed to Dean in December 2015, just before our 6 year anniversary. I proposed not only because I felt it was the right time, but because I knew that Dean would be the only person I would ever want to share my life with.
Our time together has been as normal as anyone else's – from jobs to holidays, dramas, pets, property and a love for enjoying life together. However, whilst our lives are relatively normal, our bond has always been something extraordinary.
For us, this wedding would not only provide the opportunity to legalise our love and achievement, something we are so eager to do. More importantly, this wedding would be an opportunity to demonstrate a positive example to our community of a young successful long-term relationship, which is as rich and fulfilling as our heterosexual counterparts.
Without winning this competition, it's likely our wedding would take place in 2020, however, if we did win this incredible prize, it would mean our families, and 62% of Australian's get to celebrate our love a lot sooner.
4. Emily & Madeleine
The first thought I had about Maddy when she walked into the room was, "I can't believe you're late it's the first day of class!". We had both decided that July 17th 2012 was the perfect time to start learning Australian Sign language at the Brisbane Library.
If we hadn't met then we would have met through mutual friends 6 months later when I started at the University of Queensland. Or maybe we would have met years later, working in a hospital together, her a psychologist and me an occupational therapist.
Or maybe we met earlier, when, despite me growing up 130kms away for the rest of my childhood, we lived a street over from each other for a few months in 1996.
The day I proposed I wasn't nervous. I had planned to pop the question at a picnic breakfast in the avocado grove in the rainforest retreat where we were staying. But the coffee fiend that she is, she took the pot and I missed the moment.
Later that day in a coffee plantation cafe, we ordered lattes and I slipped inside to carry them out. Her saucer decorated with a silver spoon stamped with the words "Will you marry me?" and a ring.
Both our parents wanted to start planning the wedding immediately, but we felt that we couldn't have a true celebration of our commitment to each other with the cloud of illegitimacy hanging over us.
As a little girl, I always dreamed of my beautiful white wedding. I was 10 years old when the news told me that my Prime Minister had changed the law so that marriage could only be "between a man and a woman to the exclusion of all others".
I knew I liked girls the way I felt I was supposed to like boys. I realised that I could never marry someone I truly loved, I felt like the world didn't want me to be happy.
Now I am 23 and after asking my beautiful partner and 24 million of my fellow Australians I am ready to get married. If we could be considered for this prize I would be honoured to share my wedding with every little girl who is worried she will never be allowed to marry the person they truly love.
For me, I'm excited about the wedding, but I'm much more excited for our marriage. Every day I think I love her more than anyone could ever love anyone, but then a new day comes and I love her even more.
5. Michael & Benjamin
We have been together for nearly three years now and the moment came a few months ago when we both asked the question "Will you marry me?" on one magical weekend. Ben asked first by taking me to the place that brought us together. He woke me up at 5 am with a bag packed and we hopped on a train to a destination unknown.
He held the secret close to his chest until the last minute where at the airport he handed me a travel purse, with a note attached to a little Mickey Mouse revealing we were on our way to Disneyland in Hong Kong! That next day as the park opened he wanted to get a photo outside the Disney Castle and it was there that the photographer was just about to take the shot when Ben went down on one knee and to my shock asked, "Will you marry me?."
Well the photographer went nuts with excitement and the family in the line just looked confused, but it could not have been a more perfect day.
I knew something might have occurred on this mystery holiday, so I came prepared for an engagement of my own. Within a week of knowing Ben after our first date I knew in my gut that I think this was it for me and he would be the one.
I sat down and wrote a letter that consisted of 365 words with the last few words being "Will you marry me?". For a year I recorded myself each day saying one word and edited the video together into one long video.
Ben and I asked who would ask who and he wanted to ask first, so I sat on this video until he had asked the question. The day after his proposal I got my laptop out, surrounded it with roses and he watched my love letter of 365 days.
He said yes right back of course!
Winning this competition would mean we could get married sooner then we thought. We are struggling as it is to try and save for a wedding and this could give us a wedding we could only dream of!

Council comes under fire over colourful crossing FOI response
20 Nov 2021 5 minute read
Design for crossing & colourful crossing at Cowbridge Road East
Can you see the difference between these designs? On the left is the plan, on the right the finished result.
Cardiff Council has faced angry criticism over its response to a freedom of information request (FOI) regarding the installation of a colourful crossing on Cowbridge Road East.
In the response, the council confirmed it had received "a number of" objections from disability groups when planning the crossing but said that the "design was amended following additional advice regarding colour and colour tones to minimise negative impacts."
Critics have hit back at this response, saying there is no visible difference between the original design and the final result, and they accuse the council of not listening to the concerns of people with disabilities.
Sited on Cowbridge Road East in Canton the first of two planned colourful crossings in Cardiff was unveiled last month. The design by artist Steffan Dafydd was selected by public vote, administered by Chapter Arts Centre and Cardiff Council.
In March, Chapter Arts Centre twitter feed displayed all three shortlisted designs, a mock-up of what each would look like in situ, and some artist background
"The abstract shapes in my design are made from taking photos and sketches of the area and cutting parts out to use. After morphing and distorting these different segments and layering them up, it's impossible to tell what they are"

After it was installed, some local residents, who had been unaware of the proposal, took to social media expressing concern that the change would prove dangerous and challenging to residents with dementia, sensory or neurological disabilities, children and guide dogs.
On 26 October the freedom of information request was submitted to Cardiff Council asking whether charities that represent vulnerable groups – such as Access Association, Guide Dogs, Transport for All (TfA), RNIB, Scope, Alzheimer's Society – were invited to respond to the consultation, and if they were, how they responded.
The request also asked the council to outline how it had engaged with local people with disabilities on the matter and how it assessed the equality impact (EqIA) and discharged its Public Sector Equality Duty (PSED) on the decision-making process.
The council responded to the FOI saying they consulted "Guide Dogs Association, Alzheimer's Society, RNIB, Diverse Cymru, 50+ Forum, Deaf Hub (Wales), Access Included, Age Connect Cardiff, BDA, Sightlife Wales.
"Objections were received from a number of groups. Concerns were expressed that colourful crossings could be confusing to various groups, including the elderly, those living with dementia and those who are partially sighted," they said.
"The crossing design was amended following additional advice regarding colour and colour tones to minimise negative impacts."
When asked what the council had done to ensure that local people with disabilities had been "thoroughly engaged with" the council said: "Over 400 properties in the local vicinity were directly consulted and awareness of the proposal was raised on social media and the Council's website."
The council added: "An EqIA has been carried out and the scheme has been discussed in the monthly Access Equality Group meetings. Stage 1 and Stage 2 County Road Safety Audit Reports have also been undertaken. The monthly access group is made up of a number of organisations who were involved in the consultation / engagement process."
Some residents and disability advocates were however angered by the council's response and have accused it of lying about making alterations, and simply executing the plans regardless of any concerns.
One person tweeted "Why would you lie about this Cardiff Council? Looking at those two images, it's clear, no amendments were made to the design. Why did you simply ignore the objections from disability groups and plough ahead with the crossing anyway?"
The council rapidly responded with a tweet stating "Hi, colour tones were amended prior to installation after seeking further input from Alzheimer's Society. The amended version was viewed by the society before installation. Thanks."
Voicing concerns over the crossing one person added: "My dad had Parkinson's and dementia, there is absolutely no way he would have been able to recognise this mess as a crossing (in fact it probably would have scared him to walk over it)", while another added: "I'll not be using it as it will cause me visual disturbance & I'll lose my balance."
Others point to the fact that projects like this should not be a priority for cash strapped councils who have a continuous battle with potholes, and another said: "There has to be more to this – functionality and safety are being compromised and someone is making money."
The trend for Asphalt Art has grown recently with several cities following the lead set by London's ambitious 'city wide' bid to install public art on roads, which celebrates causes or events.
TfA and a coalition of groups representing people with disabilities sent an open letter to London Mayor Sadiq Khan regarding his initiative, which included 11 crossings on Tottenham Court Road.
As a result of the letter Mr Khan announced that he had put a temporary pause to the plan, saying "I am concerned to read about the issues highlighted in your letter and the negative impact that these types of crossing can have on disabled people."
RMP, a local authorities and public services risk management company said: "Local Authorities need to consider the legal, financial and reputational implications of installing road crossings which may directly contravene relevant highway regulations, and which may also, in some eyes, be considered to increase the risks to pedestrian and motorist safety which is already significant at these crossings."

Point Reyes National Seashore – A Wilderness Paradise
The combination of long rugged beaches nestled beneath steep cliffs will immediately impress you as you dip your toes into the soft powdery sand. The heavy and strong waves breaking into the rocks and exploding into mesmerizing white water splashes make this ocean view even more astonishing. All of this and even more is waiting for you at Point Reyes National Seashore – a wilderness paradise near San Francisco. Keep reading as today we have prepared the ultimate guide to plan your visit to this preserved area on the West Coast.
Location of Point Reyes National Seashore
Situated less than 40 miles to the Northwest of San Francisco, California, Point Reyes National Seashore is a protected area preserving beautiful steep rocky cliffs, deep forests and more than 1500 plant and animal species. Covering more than 70,000 sq miles, the park spreads on the territory of the entire Point Reyes Peninsula, providing stunningly beautiful views of the Pacific Ocean.
Getting to Point Reyes National Seashore
The close proximity to San Francisco, makes Point Reyes National Seashore an excellent day trip or weekend destination for anyone who would like to escape the hustle and bustle of the crowded city and enjoy a few relaxing days. At approximately 60 miles, San Francisco Airport is the closest air hub to the park. Another two Californian airports that are nearby are San Jose and Oakland International Airports. Check out the best flights deals here.
If you will be driving yourself, the journey will take less than an hour to reach Point Reyes National Seashore from San Francisco's downtown area. Follow Highway 101, as you are crossing the popular Golden Gate Bridge. You will need to keep driving along the motorway, until you reach exit 450B towards San Anselmo. Driving along Sir Francis Drake Blvd will take you through San Anselmo, Fairfax, Lagunitas and Tocaloma. At Olema, you will have to join Highway 1, for less than a km and then turn left on Bear Valley Road. In another km, you will find a lot of signs that will be showing you the way towards the visitor center.
An alternative route is the longer, but extremely scenic drive along Highway 1, which you can join a short distance after you have crossed the Golden Gate Bridge. It is good to know that even if you do not have a car, there is a public transport, which can take you to Point Reyes National Seashore. Operated by Marin Transit, Bus number 68 leaves from Iverness Store at Sir Francis Drake Blvd every hour, seven days per week.
Working Hours and Entrance Fee
Point Reyes National Seashore is operational year-round. Working hours are typically from 6AM until midnight, however, the visitor centers tend to be closed on December 25 and hours vary based on the season.
Compared to other preserved areas, there is no entrance fee for visiting Point Reyes National Seashore. The costs that you need to have in mind are the camping fees. Depending on the number of visitors, each site charges between $20 – $50 per night. The shuttle bus, which serves as the only way to get around the park during the winter season, when Sir Francis Drake Boulevards is closed costs $7 per person.
Despite being a relatively well-known park, Point Reyes National Seashore rarely gets too crowded. Contrarily to popular believes, the best time to visit the preserved area is not during the summer. The period from July to September is characterized with fogs and winds, which make the mornings quite chilly. Winter is also the rainy season, but locals tend to visit the park hoping to get the chance to witness the gray whales migration. As the temperatures start to increase and the spring flowers begin to bloom, spring guarantees great clear skies, warm weather and outstanding views. Hence, best time to pay a visit to Point Reyes National Seashore is around April!
Staying Overnight at Point Reyes National Seashore
Visiting Point Reyes National Seashore on a day trip from San Francisco is a fantastic idea, however, getting to spend the night in the park surrounded by the untouched beauty and serenity of the area is even better! Keep in mind that the accommodation options within the preserved territory are fairly limited, though. Situated just two miles away from the beach, visitors will find Point Reyes Hostel. The cottage type rental units will certainly make you feel like you are spending a remote and secluded getaway. For those, who would prefer to go back to the basics, the park also offers two types of campgrounds. The backcountry campsite is only available for visitors, who will be exploring the park on foot or by bike. If you enjoy water activities on the other hand, and will be visiting Point Reyes National Seashore by kayak, canoe, or a sailboat, you can head to Tomales Bay boat-in campsite. You should have in mind that reservations are normally made more than 6 months in advance.
If you are not lucky enough and do not manage to find an available spot within the park's territory, do not worry as there are other accommodation options in the entire area around Point Reyes National Seashore. Just 5 km away from the preserved area's entrance, visitors can find the Dancing Coyote Beach Cottages and Manka's Inverness Lodge. Both of these are excellent choices, which will allow you to be relatively close to the park, but still enjoy the peace and quiet.
Note: Due to the recent Californian fires, which affected the area significantly, only the boat-in campsite is open for visitors. The other campgrounds are currently closed.
The next thing to consider when heading to Point Reyes National Seashore is where you can get some food from. Unfortunately, within the park's boundaries, you will not be able to find any restaurants or cafes, so you need to have this in mind, especially if you are planning on staying overnight. In very close proximity, however, you will find numerous good places where you can grab some delicious lunch from. At Inverness, for example, you can stop by Saltwater Oyster Depot, which serves freshly caught seafood. You might need to drive a bit longer, but Sir and Star at Olema, is one of the best restaurants in the entire Marin County. You will find very rich menu offering everything from seafood to local duck livers. Last but not least, the nearby town of Point Reyes Station is home to various different types of restaurants, many of which deserve a visit. One of them is the Italian inspired Osteria Stellina, which is the perfect location if you would like to try some mouthwatering pastas and pizzas.
Facilities at Point Reyes National Seashore
Besides the previously mentioned facilities, such as the campgrounds and winter shuttle bus, there are a number of other basic facilities around the park. For example, visitors will be able to find restrooms close to the three visitor centers. Despite not having places to buy food from, there are numerous picnic areas to choose from, where you can stop by and enjoy the day. With 21 picnic tables and 5 grills, the Bear Valley Picnic Area is the largest. Water fountains, toilets and a parking lot can be found by the Bear valley Visitor Center as well. If you would like to escape the crowds, you can head to the Kenneth C. Patrick Visitor Center, where you will find a few tables and grills, some of which are just next to the beach. Overall, the facilities at Point Reyes National Seashore are quite basic, but enough to allow you to have a fabulous day at the park.
Things / Activities to Do / See
Now that you have all the basic information needed to plan your trip to Point Reyes National Seashore, it is time to dive in the fun part – all the things and activities you can see and do!
Covering the entire Point Reyes Peninsula, the park is home to over 80 miles of shoreline along the Pacific Ocean. So as you can imagine, there are at least a dozen of beaches, worth exploring. Starting with the longest and most popular, Point Reyes Beach is a 11 mile untouched beachfront. It is a fantastic spot if you would like just to take a long walk. If you do, we suggested visiting as the sun is kissing the ocean goodnight, as you will be able to admire the stunning colors of the sunset. During the day, waves can get quite strong and heavy, so if you are looking forward to some water activities – this is the spot. Always be cautious, though, as waves here can be quite dangerous as well.
Kehoe Beach is another fabulous location, which deserves to be visited. It might be just a kilometer long, but the large sand dunes, the narrow stream and the steep cliffs make the beach quite impressive and fun to explore. The soft sand feels like powder under your toes, while the dramatic Pacific Ocean waves contribute for this picture-perfect scenery.
Those who would like to follow the off-the-beaten-paths of Point Reyes National Seashore can head to the South by bike. You will be able to first enjoy the refreshing breeze and admire the breathtaking ocean views along the way. Once you reach Wildcat Campground, you will find yourself at rugged, secluded shoreline of Phillip Burton Wilderness Area. The 2.5 mile long Wildcat Beach rarely gets visitors, due to its remoteness. The dramatic cliffs rising high above the ocean, and the pristine beach quietly tucked beneath them make for a fantastic spot, which will bring you memories to cherish long after you have left the park.
Another two not so popular beaches are McClures Beach and Palomarin Beach. Both of them can be a bit dangerous and it is a better idea to visit only during low tides. What is more, they both look like small coves hidden beneath the strong rocky cliffs. That is also the reason why, reaching the shoreline can be a bit of a challenge. Narrow winding trails will take you downhill, before you will be able to dip your toes in the soft like powder sand.
Last but not least, Sculptured Beach is another quite unique spot worth exploring. As you can guess by its name, the area is characterized by the interesting rock formations. This is not really a place for sunbathing or relaxing by the beach, as the area is very rough. Throughout the years, however, the naturally formed stone arches have become home to different marine organisms. As a result, the beach is a great location for tidepooling during low tide.
If you are a nature lover and you are not afraid to explore Point Reyes National Seashore wilderness, you should certainly do some hiking while in the park. It might come as a surprise, but the protected area has over 150 miles of hiking trails, so regardless what your abilities are you will definitely find something for yourself. The Earthquake, Chimney Rock and Abbotts Lagoon trails, for example, are considered as easy, as neither of them exceeds 2 miles. Approximately 1.6 miles long, the Chimney Rock Trail is quite popular especially during the spring, when wildflowers start to bloom and create a stunning colorful carpet along the path. Visitors are also able to admire the breathtaking views of large waves breaking into the rocky cliffs.
If your furry friends will be joining on this journey and you have around 3 hours to spare, you should head to Bolinas Ridge Trail. The first 2 miles will take you through the open space, so you will be able to enjoy the Olema Valley views. Those of you who decide to follow the trail further, will enter the deep green forests of the park.
Last but not least, if you are ready for a true adventure, but also some outstanding views, you should visit Phillip Burton Wilderness. The absolutely breathtaking 30 feet tall Alamare Falls is situated to the Southern edge of Wildcat Beach. The views are absolutely spectacular, as you are standing under the majestic waterfall cascading from the rocky cliff. As previously mentioned you can bike to the Wildcat Campground, but there are also numerous hiking routes, the most popular of which is the 6.3 mile trail from Bear Valley Trail-head.
Are you ready to pack your bags and head to Point Reyes National Seashore? This wilderness paradise near San Francisco will take your breath away and you will wonder, why have you not visited it earlier!

The Soft Top Window Storage Bags are made from our durable PVC Coated Mesh, a polyester re-enforced PVC. The material is a little stiffer than our PVC Mesh and helps the Window Storage Bag maintain its shape when in use. The polyester grid inside the material makes it resistant to tears or cuts. PVC Coated Mesh is great for cargo bag applications as it can be welded together to form a watertight seam.
PVC Coated Mesh withstands extremely hot or cold temperatures. It is rated at UPF50 for UV protection which means it blocks 98% of the sun's harmful rays. The attractive black color will not fade over time. All of our logos are screen printed on the material and sealed in place. PVC Coated Mesh will handle the rigors of the frequent use these bags are likely to receive.
The Window Storage Sleeves are made from neoprene material. Neoprene is constructed by gluing polyester knitted fabric to both sides of a styrene-butadiene rubber. The material is super durable and maintains its flexibility over a wide temperature range. Its sponginess provides a protective quality that is perfect for holding soft top windows. Water cannot pass through neoprene which allows the material to remain dry under most circumstances. Neoprene will not wear down with frequent use and most importantly, will not scratch soft top windows.

Karma Partners with Omaze to benefit Conservation International
As a luxury automaker committed to creating a better future, we are pleased to announce our partnership with Omaze to offer the opportunity to win one of the first 2020 Karma Revero GT vehicles ever produced.
With a donation of just $10, participants in the United States and Canada have a chance to win one of our soul-stirring new vehicles in Pacifico Gray with 22-inch Dune Twist Midnight wheels, red brake calipers, and a custom name plaque to commemorate the occasion.
Additionally, one lucky winner and guest will be flown to Southern California to partake in our "California Experience Tour," an exclusive VVIP ownership program reserved for a limited few. The VVIP package includes two nights' accommodations in a Southern California luxury oceanfront resort and a personalized guided tour of our Karma Innovation and Customization Center (KICC). Every Revero GT will be manufactured at our KICC facility in Moreno Valley, Calif.
Once at KICC, guests will receive a personalized guided tour of the facility, with specialized insight into our handcrafted production processes of the Revero GT. Afterwards, the winner can opt to drive their new Revero GT home, or have the vehicle delivered. Flights, hotel and vehicle taxes are all-inclusive.
Entry to win our grand tourer will support Conservation International, a nonprofit environmental organization working to safeguard the worlds ecosystem. Since 1987, Conservation International has helped protect more than 2.3 million square miles of land and sea across more than 77 countries.
"We are proud to support Conservation International and offer the public this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to win one of our soul-stirring Revero GT luxury electric vehicles," says John Maloney, Karma's Chief Revenue Officer. "Karma's commitment to forging a path to a more sustainable future through luxury and technology aligns with Conservation International's efforts to protect the environment through their work with leading minds in science, policy, finance and business."
The Revero GT, valued at $145,000, is a true reflection of our luxury electric vehicle design and engineering capabilities. Karma artisans drew inspiration from Southern California's rich aerospace industry, studying turbines and wing sections to influence new aspects of the Revero GT's exterior design to create a tighter, smoother, and more sculpted silhouette.
We created a world-class electric drive system, enabling the Revero GT to be as fast as it looks. Innovative and proprietary inverters capture direct current from an all-new 28 kWh lithium-ion battery; converting it to alternating current which powers dual synchronous traction motors to deliver 528 hp and 549 lb.-ft of torque. From battery pack alone, drivers will experience up to 80 miles of pure electric driving range, extended to 360 miles by the highly efficient, BMW TwinPower Turbo three-cylinder on-board generator.
The Revero GTs exquisitely tailored interior features premium leather "Palisades" perforated and ventilated seats, ultra-suede black headliner, carbon fiber jewels, and heated leather steering wheel with 3D sensitive touch and haptic feedback. An intuitive 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster is integrated with the Revero's high-resolution infotainment system and configurable to suit the driver's preferences. Infotainment features a 10.2-inch capacitive touch-screen digital audio with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™.
With an abundance of safety innovations offered as standard features, the Revero GT is engineered to protect you in ways you might never have imagined. Vehicle notifications include a 360-degree surround-view parking assist system, forward collision detection, lane departure warning, parking distance monitoring, blind spot and cross traffic detection, connectivity for over-the-air software updates, and active noise cancellation.
The Revero GT sweepstakes will end December 16, 2019, at 11:59pm PT, with the winner announced shortly after. For more details, visit the campaign website here:http://www.omaze.com/karma

Aaron Henry is Coming to Max's!
Posted on September 21, 2011 at 1:35 pm.
Well, the State Fair is over, the kids are back in school, and the temperatures are definitely dropping – all signs that fall is really here! With collections named "Arbor" and "Seasons", I don't think there's a more "appropriate" time of the year to welcome jewelry designer Aaron Henry to Minneapolis and to Max's for his first visit. Made with precious metals and gemstones, Aaron's jewelry is versatile, sophisticated and highly collectible (take a look at more of his beautiful creations here). National Jeweler has named Aaron one of the Top 100 Designers of the Past 30 Years, so I'm sure you can understand why I am so proud to carry his work. In addition, his jewelry has appeared in industry and consumer magazines including Vanity Fair, Town & Country, Millionaire and In Style, and Jewelers Quarterly Magazine Aaron as a 'Designer of the 21st Century'. He is a 3rd generation jeweler and is fortunate to work with his father who has been making jewelry from a long time, and I'm thrilled that his dad will be joining him for our trunk show! The show is Friday-Sunday, September 23-25, and while the jewelry will be here all 3 days, Aaron and his dad will only be here on Friday and Saturday. I hope that you'll have an opportunity to stop in and see his beautiful and truly special creations.

July 19, 2017 (Ottawa, ON) - The Native Women's Association of Canada (NWAC) is mindful of the great risk to the safety of Indigenous women, girls, transgender, and Two-Spirit people as wildfires continue to encroach on populated areas of British Columbia. In addition to great concern for the safety of communities at risk of fire and those currently under evacuation, NWAC recognizes the hardships facing those returning to their homes and those who have lost theirs.
"Hundreds, if not thousands, of Indigenous women and girls' lives will be affected by this," commented NWAC President Francyne D. Joe. "Natural disasters are more likely to kill women than men and this disparity is amplified by socio-economic status. Statistically, this means that First Nation women on-reserve are in the most danger."
President Joe represented the voice of First Nations and Métis women at the Marrakech Climate Change Conference in November of 2016 and NWAC continues to participate in the processes of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). As recognized by the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction, Indigenous women hold traditional ecological knowledge that is vital to the success of disaster preparedness efforts.
"As global temperatures rise, we can expect that more fires will threaten the security of our people," continued Joe. "Women are most often the ones caring for elderly persons and children and, largely for this reason, are the last to evacuate when natural disasters strike."
"This nation cannot afford to omit Indigenous women from participation in efforts to address climate change. Indigenous women's strong capabilities, intimate knowledge of their communities' needs, and close connection to the land make them ideal candidates to guide and implement emergency measures that protect their homes, their economies, and lives," said Joe. "I encourage every level of government and every community to champion Indigenous women's unique perspectives and support our leadership in this area."

Q: Borderless PDF saving from website I'm trying to save a website as a PDF file using the File -> Print.... The PDF preview has a white border all around, as does the final final PDF product. I've followed the steps suggested on this website, but that doesn't work. Other websites suggest using File -> Page Setup, but that option no longer exists in later versions of macOS.
I'm using Safari 11.0.3 on macOS 10.13.3.
How can I force the PDF file not to have any white borders?

A: It sounds like the border is a part of the PDF document itself, in which case it's not an issue with printing preferences. The easiest solution is to crop the PDF in Preview, then print it.
Instead of File > Print, perform File > Export as PDF (or Save as).

Coat of arms of Edward II
Edward II Plantagenet (1284-1327?) was possibly one of England's least loved monarchs. From the moment in which he became king, in 1307, his excessive generosity to a series of court favourites caused unease in the realm. Unlike his father, Edward I, known as 'the hammer of the Scots' due to his conquest of Scotland, Edward II suffered a string of military failures north of Hadrian's Wall.
Indeed, during his reign not only did the Scots throw off English domination, but a series of rebellions broke out in England itself. These civil wars, unleashed by disaffected barons who were growing tired of Edward II's favourites lording over them, dragged England to the edge of ruin. Finally, in 1326, a particularly able baron named Roger Mortimer took Edward's Queen, Isabella of France, as his lover. Together, the two planned a fresh rebellion and the deposition of Edward II. The people of England, worn out after nearly twenty years of strife both without and within, flocked to their banner and soon Edward was captured. He was taken to Kenilworth Castle, in the midlands, and forced to abdicate in favour of his young son, Edward III, in January 1327. He spent the next nine months of his life in prison cells first at Kenilworth Castle, in the midlands, and then at Berkeley Castle.

WHILDFYRE TAKE OUT 1ST PLACE AT BATTLE OF THE BANDS IN BUSSELTON!
WAM Members and youth act Whildfyre took out 1st place at Bussleton's Battle of the Bands on Saturday 12th January 2019, continuing to stack on the achievements after their song In London was shortlisted for the ACMF's National Songwriting Competition in November 2018, read more that here.
The competition was held as part of the Festival of Busselton, and the contest's final on the Saturday coincided with their new event, Eats n Beats. It was the first time the competition was held at the Busselton Foreshore Amphitheatre and cash prizes were on offer.
The lads, gracious in their win, thanked their fellow competitors on the night and were seriously stoked to have participated in the event. The outdoor music venue on the Busselton foreshore (Bussleton Foreshore Amphitheatre) was simply amazing and Whildfyre hopes to play there again soon. Angela Griffin and Tyson Vincent from the City of Busselton and Shift Youth Crew did a fantastic job setting up and coordinating the event.
1st place consisted of a $500 cash prize and a further $500 gig at Clancy's Fish Pub in Dunsborough in 2019.

Becoming a Mason
Risings
Freemasonry is one of the world's oldest secular fraternal societies. Its members are taught its precepts by a series of ritual dramas - a progression of allegorical two-part plays which are learnt by heart and performed within each Lodge - which follow ancient forms, and use stonemasons' customs and tools as allegorical guides.
The Order instils in its members a moral and ethical approach to life: it seeks to reinforce thoughtfulness for others, kindness in the community, honesty in business, courtesy in society and fairness in all things. Members are urged to regard the interests of the family as paramount but, importantly, Freemasonry also teaches and practices concern for people, care for the less fortunate and help for those in need.
Freemasonry is not a religion, nor is it a substitute for religion. Its essential qualification opens it to men of many religions and it expects them to continue to follow their own faith. It does not allow religion to be discussed at its meetings.
Freemasons are taught that their prime duties are to God, the laws of the country in which they live and work, and to their families. Any attempt by a Freemason to use his membership to promote his own or anyone else's business or personal interests, and any attempt to shield a Freemason who has acted dishonourably or unlawfully, is contrary to the conditions on which he seeks admission and may lead to exclusion. Moreover, the discussion of religion and politics is not permitted at Masonic meetings.
The Order was founded on the principles of Brotherly love, Relief and Truth. By following these precepts a Freemason is taught to show tolerance and respect for the opinions of others and behave with kindness and understanding to his fellow creatures; to practise charity and to care for the community as a whole, both by charitable giving and by voluntary efforts; and to strive for truth in all matters and to achieve high moral standards throughout life.
Our fraternity has a wonderful history dating back more than three centuries.
It is one of the world's oldest and most popular secular fraternities, a society of men concerned with moral and spiritual values.
Freemasons all over the world are bound together in a spirit of brotherhood and friendship.
Whilst the essential qualification of membership is the belief in a Supreme Being, a man's faith is a personal matter, and religion is never discussed within a Freemason's Lodge.
Freemasonry offers its members an approach to life which seeks to reinforce thoughtfulness for others, kindness in the community, honesty in business, courtesy in society and fairness in all things.
Freemasonry is founded upon three great principals;
Brotherly Love
Every true Freemason will show tolerance and respect for the opinions of others and behave with kindness and understanding to his fellow creatures.
Freemasons are taught to practise charity and to care, not only for their own, but also for the community as a whole, both by charitable giving, and by voluntary efforts and works as individuals.
Freemasons strive for truth, requiring high moral standards and aiming to achieve them in their own lives.
