Reverse Push Up with Barbell Rotation Row will tone your abdominals and obliques FAST. Work your entire core including scapula stabilizers, anti-rotators, and back with this awesome power move. This is an advanced exercise and should be performed on a stable surface prior to performing it with StrongBoard Balance. This exercise is primarily for the Internal and External Obliques and Core but will also work the Anti-Rotators and the Erector Spinae.
1. Start on all fours with your hands holding a barbell. Position your feet on the StrongBoard Balance platform, shoulder width apart, and move into a full plank position. Be sure your abs are braced, hands are directly below your shoulders, and your head is in proper alignment with the spine.
2. Holding plank position, slowly lower yourself into a push-up and then back up to starting position.
3. As you are coming up from the push-up, pull one side of the barbell up off the floor. Pause in that position before gently bringing the bar back down to the floor.
4. Lower yourself back into a push-up and then back up to starting position.
5. Repeat steps 2 through 4. As you are coming up from the push-up, pull the opposite side of the barbell up off the floor. Pause in that position before gently bringing the bar back down to the floor.
6. Repeat for the desired amount of repetitions/duration.
Keep your abs braced. Use your anti-rotators to help stabilize your hips. This will assist in keeping them from moving side to side. You can start this exercise by lifting the barbell just off the floor and progress to lifting it as high as you can. For more of a challenge, you can use a heavier barbell. You can also hold pause for a longer period of time.


Knowing when to exit is a huge, anxiety-provoking decision. If you exit too early, you'll miss out on growth that would raise your business's valuation. If you exit too late, you may miss the wave entirely. So how do you know when is the right time to sell your business?
Although there is never a "best" time to sell, there are certain factors to be aware of in order to lower the risks inherent to selling your business. Here are five signs that it might be just the right time.
The future doesn't look bright.
You may be anticipating some future difficulties for your business. Perhaps some new technology could undercut your business model. Maybe upcoming legislation will be a problem. Or it could be that a larger company is moving into your space. If your business model is no longer looking viable, get out while you can.
In some cases, you may feel you've learned all you can learn from your present endeavor. Perhaps you feel you've maxed out the income you can get in your present niche, and you want to move into other spaces that require different business models altogether. If this is the case, it's time to step up to a bigger league.
Your business has outgrown you.
Different phases of a business's lifecycle require different skill sets from their leaders. A common issue here is the inspiring founder, incredible at networking, selling, and raising capital, who has no experience in running a large, established business. If your business has moved past your skills, it's better to be honest and get out with the maximum gain.
When you think it's reached its peak, or it's breaking records, then that is the best time to sell!
Everyone knows that running a business is difficult. That's why most people don't even try it. But even with the difficulties, running a business is supposed to improve your life, not make it worse. If your stress levels are through the roof and your passion is through the floor, it's time to find greener pastures elsewhere.
The present business valuation is good.
If you have ever seriously contemplated selling your business someday, there's no time like the present if your business is doing well right now. It's not a bad idea to spend a little capital each year to get your business professionally valuated in order to track your business's progress. When you think it's reached its peak, or it's breaking records, then that is the best time to sell!

Dreamers & Deceivers: Glenn Beck - First off, this is not conservative politics. Frankly, I've heard more criticism of Beck from conservatives of late than liberals anyway but this was a damn compelling read. It's really more historical reportage of stories we all thought we knew but I assure you you don't...but you will after reading this excellent book. These are all stories where people either lied and got away with it but were found out years later or where people dreamed big but never quite realized that dream. I felt educated, entertained and at times even a little enlightened. Highly recommend! I found it at a discount book shop for $3 and feel I really got my money's worth out of this one.
An oldie but a goodie. "Hunt for the Red October" a 1984 novel by Tom Clancy. There's nothing like a good Clancy book. His deep down technicality about war and its hardware always attracted me to his novels.
Just finished Dennis Etchinson's novelization of The Fog, it's great, builds on the film with some clever stuff. Moved on to this compilation of short stories for comfy October reading.
So therefore the book is Satanic then?
I think it was real maybe a few cases falsified so the whole thing would be labeled fake.
Just having a bit of fun doc.


Wow! Namesake, you went into my mind didn't you....beautiful, everyone can relate to this...but here's what i think, you miss holding his hand? Say it....beautiful piece.
Diogo, there you go again. It happens to anyone who has known real love before. It comes in different shades. This is a beautiful piece. It evokes feelings, repentance, commitment and LOVE. Nice read. Keep it up.
Simplicity is complicity...the best things in life are simple and the best acts of love/kindness are the ordinary, everyday gestures. A smile, as simple as it is, is a mini sun that can light up someone's dark day.
The simplicity of this piece endears it to me, or should I say,me to it?
What if you held his hands instead? Or called him? Or visited him instead? For Love isnt so much about what we receive. Putting each other first is key.
Could it be that he was only deep in thought?
Well, you're right. But maybe it will do some good to let her know those times, instead of just shutting her out. I'm sure ladies will appreciate it. Thanks for your contribution.

Toward the Exit: Cayne Sells Big Stake in Bear
By Kate Kelly
Two years ago, James Cayne of Bear Stearns Cos. became the first Wall Street chief executive to own stock and options in his own company worth $1 billion. These days, that stake is worth less than $100 million.
On Tuesday, the 74-year-old executive -- now chairman of Bear Stearns's board -- took that money and ran. Together with his wife, Patricia Cayne, Mr. Cayne sold 5.7 million Bear Stearns shares at a price of $10.84 apiece, according to regulatory filings -- creating just $61.3 million in paper profit.

Q: Running an installation program from Team City Is it possible to execute a setup program, which requires user input, from TeamCity?
It is an MSI installer file and using all the defaults is just fine, I just need to run the installation program automatically.

A: Use msiexec /i foo.msi /quiet to avoid the installer prompting.
There are other  possibly relevant options; see msiexec /?.

DIT welcomes applications from international students who are suitably qualified for our full-time undergraduate and postgraduate programmes.
Applicants must meet the minimum entry requirements for third level education in your home country and must meet DIT requirements for the particular programme(s) applied for - see the overseas points equivalency table below.
Download International Awards recognised by DIT.
Applicants whose first language is not English must attach a certified qualification of proficiency in English. Please view the English Proficiency Qualifications accepted by DIT and the corresponding minimum achievement level required.
Applicants applying for a postgraduate programme must hold an honours degree, first or second class or equivalent, from a recognised degree awarding authority.
It is important to note that admission on to a full time programme at DIT does not automatically guarantee you a student visa. You must also meet immigration requirements in order to reside and study in Ireland.
The Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) has produced a document for international students in 2008 Student Visa Guidelines.
International non-EU students are permitted to attend recognised full time programmes at DIT on the condition that the students and the Institute comply with specific regulations in relation to the issuing of student visas to such students by the Department of Justice, Equality, and Law Reform.
All international non-EU students must register with the Garda National Immigration Bureau (GNIB) if they are staying in Ireland for more than 90 days. There is a charge of €150.
All students on student visas must demonstrate a programme attendance rate of 80% or higher. It is the student's responsibility to attend classes and to issue a medical certificate if absent due to illness. Students are also required to notify their programme tutor if they will be away from classes. The International Student Office is obliged to notify the GNIB of any student who is not meeting the required programme attendance rate of 80%. Such students are at risk of losing their student visa.
It is the student's responsibility to ensure that his/her student visa is renewed on time. Registered students at DIT will require a visa renewal letter from DIT's International Student Office to support their application for a visa renewal. Applications for visa renewal are made through the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS).
Students on student visas are entitled to participate in employment for a maximum of 20 hours per week during term time and up to 40 hours per week during holiday time. However, all students committed to study during a holiday period, such as those postgraduate students who are completing their thesis during the summer holiday, are only permitted to work for a maximum of 20 hours per week.
For fees information see After You've Applied in the International Student Office section.
International students at DIT may also be sponsored by their own government or through other International Scholarship Programmes. In most cases applications should be made through the Ministry of Education and/or Scholarship Agency in the student's home country at the time of or prior to applying to DIT.
Applicants may also contact the Irish Embassy in their home country for information on the sources of possible funding.
Foreign students wishing to obtain information about scholarships offered by the Irish Government should address their inquiries to the International Section, Training College Building, Department of Education and Science, Marlborough Street, Dublin 1.

Walmart Will Buy Largest Stake In Flipkart - 5 Things You Need To Know!
After the initial talks of Walmart investing in Flipkart were about to go off the table due to stake-distribution issues, the largest stakeholder in the homegrown e-commerce firm SoftBank has finally agreed to negotiate with Walmart. The Japanese investment major is ready to go off a major part of its shareholding, allowing world's largest brick-and-mortar retailer to make an $8-10 billion investment in the Indian company.
Walmart is all set to pick up a majority stake in the Indian e-commerce firm after SoftBank has agreed to part-sell its 23-24 percent stake in Flipkart. The Japanese firm invested $2.4 billion in Flipkart last year in August, and have already taken back around $2 billion in gains on its investment.
The total valuation soared to $14.2 billion last year after Flipkart managed to raise a major sum from SoftBank in August. The proposed Walmart investment will take Flipkart over $20 Billion valuation mark, making it the fourth most valued startup in the world, after Uber, Airbnb and WeWork.
The primary investment will value at around $20-22 billion, which is a 100 percent rise from the $10.2 billion valuations from last year in April after the Indian company raised funds from Chinese internet giant Tencent.
Tiger Global has a 20 percent stake in Flipkart, while South African media and internet giant Naspers owns around 13 percent. Founders Binny and Sachin Bansal have around 10 percent, and other key holders are China's internet giant Tencent, online auction site eBay, Microsoft, venture capital funds like Accel Partners and Japanese investment major SoftBank.
Most of the investors will be paring down their stake or will completely exit the scene as Walmart comes on board with Flipkart.
The largest offline retailer in the world, Walmart is trying to build an anti-Amazon alliance with Flipkart to take on the e-commerce giant globally. For Walmart, the deal with Flipkart is going to be its last big opportunity to give Amazon a hands-on fight.
Back at home, the US-based retailer has been beaten a number of times by the Jeff Bezos-led Amazon. Walmart seems to be wanting to take on Amazon on the global turf, by teaming up with its largest rival in India, Flipkart.
The Walmart deal will give Flipkart the much-needed offline push, where the e-commerce firm can get into an omnichannel business model. On the other hand, Walmart will get a massive online exposure with its investment in Flipkart.
In the past, Walmart has aggressively lobbied the Indian government for an open market in the country for foreign retailers. Amazon India also aims to lead the Indian retail industry, in both offline and online spaces, which is expected to reach $1.3 trillion by 2020.
The investment from Walmart will is going to be one of biggest global fundings till date. It will give the Indian e-commerce industry a big push. Amazon is heavily investing in India, as it plans to conquer the Indian market. But, the upcoming Walmart investment will provide Flipkart with the opportunity to take on Amazon more aggressively.
Flipkart also reported that it has currently contributed around 15 percent of the overall gross merchandise volume (GMV) in the country.

American Culture Studies has launched several new Program Initiatives: three- to five-year endeavors centered on themes that bring interested faculty members together across disciplinary boundaries. The aim of the Program Initiatives is to locate productive intersections in the research agendas of a critical mass of Americanist faculty and to facilitate collaborative work that results in knowledge production in the form, for example, of published books and articles, conferences, lasting archives, and new team-taught courses. Of course, not all Program Initiatives will necessarily result in all or most of these--some may simply yield a robust reading group, as a platform for launching some of these more ambitious projects or perhaps simply as a valuable end in itself.
For information about our Program Initiatives, please see our Program Initiative F.A.Q. (from the menu on the left).

Keolis expands its footprint in China and wins a new tram contract
On 15 October 2020, Keolis' Chinese joint venture (JV), Shanghai Keolis was awarded a new five-year contract by the public transport authority of Jiaxing, forming a new joint venture called Shenjia with the authority to operate and maintain the city's new tram network. Jiaxing is one of the most densely populated city in China's eastern coastal province of Zhejiang.

Keolis opens the final section of the automated metro in Hyderabad, India
On 7 February 2020, Keolis inaugurated the final 11 km long section of the automated metro network of Hyderabad on the new green line. India's second-largest metro network, is now 69 km long and features three lines, launched in just over two years. The new line features seven new stations and connects central eastern Hyderabad to the two existing red and blue lines. This new milestone enhances Keolis' position as a world leader in automated metro launch, operation and maintenance.
Keolis inaugurates the final section of its first tram network in China
On 30th December 2019, Keolis' Chinese joint venture Shanghai Keolis opened the last 3.88 km section of the Songjiang tram network.
The 31 km long network featuring 46 stations offers Songjiang residents and visitors a reliable, sustainable and comfortable shared mobility solution to move around the city. The network is expected to carry 170,000 passengers per day and to reduce urban journeys by car.
Present in the country since 2014, Keolis continues to grow its footprint in China and reinforce its position as a world leader in tram operations
Doha's automated metro network is now complete and ready for the 2022 World Cup
On 10 December 2019, RKH Qitarat (the joint venture of Keolis, RATP Dev and the Hamad Group) completed Doha's driverless metro network with the opening of the green line and the second section of the red line. This follows the recent opening of the gold line and the first section of the red. The launch comes in time for the FIFA Club World Cup which begins on Wednesday 11 December and for the Football World Cup that Qatar will host in 2022.
The 20-year contract awarded in December 2017 by Qatar Rail covers operation and maintenance of the entire metro network comprising a total of three lines, 76 kilometres long and 37 stations, as well as the Lusail tram network expected to open in 2020. This is the country's first urban rail network and a key part of 'Qatar Vision 2030', a strategic plan established by the Qatari government designed to enhance Doha's appeal by diversifying and improving shared mobility options.
Keolis grows its footprint in China with opening of the automated Shanghai Pudong International Airport metro
On 16 September, Keolis opened the automated Shanghai Pudong International Airport metro through its Chinese joint venture. The Passenger Rapid Transit System connects two existing terminals (T1 and T2) to two satellite halls (S1 and S2) which were inaugurated on the same day. This new milestone bolsters Keolis' presence in China so it can more effectively meet the country's growing urban mobility needs and enhances its position as a world leader in automated metro operation and maintenance

Earthquake Now: 5.7 magnitude quake east of Rhodes
A strong earthquake measuring 5.9 on the Richter scale occurred off Rhodes and was particularly felt in Karpathos, as well as in the surrounding islands.
No serious damage was recorded, however, due to the fact that the tremor was recorded in a marine area.
The focal depth, according to the Revised Solution of the Geodynamic Institute, is estimated at 22 km while the location is 58 km southeast of Lindos. It is noted that a little earlier, the Geodynamics gave the magnitude of the tremor at 5.7 Richter and the focal depth at 10 km.

John P. Monego
Alameda County Sheriff's Department
Alameda Co. Sheriff's Department Dep. John P. Monego was ambushed and killed execution-style Saturday, Dec. 12, in Dublin. Monego, 33, had responded to a takeover robbery in which another officer, Angela Schwab, had been overpowered and disarmed.
Monego, who had worked in the city for only eight months, was declared dead at Eden Medical Center in Castro Valley.
Three Central Valley men, with no previous criminal records, were arrested a short time later following a high-speed chase and crash nearby. Police say Reuben Vasquez, 23, of Modesto shot Monego once with a handgun as he entered the restaurant's foyer, then stood over his body and shot him five-or-six more times. The other two suspects are Hai Minh Le and Miguel Sifuentes, both 19 and from Turlock. They each face 31 felony counts including murder, robbery, burglary and false imprisonment.
Monego is the first police officer to have died in the line-of-duty in Dublin. For the Alameda County Sheriff's Department, which contracts police services to the city, it was the first death in the line of duty in 13 years. Mayor Guy Houston said, "This is a big shock for the city of Dublin. He had just come on duty with us."
Thousands of uniformed law enforcement personnel from agencies around Northern California, and as far away as South Lake Tahoe, Chico and San Diego coverged on Pleasanton Thursday, Dec. 17, to pay their respects.
Sheriff Charles Plummer told the mourners at Monego's service, "All of us are just asking why. How can a good man who spent most of his adult life serving as a peacekeeper be killed by people who are not worthy to clean the dirt from his boots?"
Monego's sister, Mary Ellen Biesecker, told the grief stricken crowd, "My brother was lucky. He had so many friends." As she spoke, she embraced her son, Brian, an aspiring police officer who idolized his uncle.
Deputy Steve Lenthe, Monego's best friend, called him a "cop's cop."
Hundreds of local residents watched silently as the two-mile-long procession of more than 450 police cars joined with 196 police motorcycles, six limousines and more than 100 other vehicles, to travel through the city to Saint Michael's Cemetery in Livermore.
"Everyone came out. It showed true brotherhood, for something that shouldn't have happened," said Alameda County Sheriff's Deputy Jeff Hazelitt, who knew Monego for only a year, but could not stop the tears.
Peace officers attending the funeral said the cold-blooded nature of the shooting was one reason Monego's death weighed so heavily on them.
Chief of Santa Clara County's Department of Corrections, Timothy Ryan, said, "To be cut down in such a way, it's a shock, particularly to police officers."
Dep. Michael Toms said, "John was a great police officer. He often motivated me to try and do the best job possible.
"When John went 10-8 for the night, he would always look to make a felony arrest, even though in the small town of Dublin that was not always possible. John's philosophy was that he tried.
"John had a quick wit and a sharp tongue. I saw many criminals that were sorry that they became belligerent or sarcastic with him. However, he loved to do practical jokes, mostly on his supervisors.
"He also loved to talk about his 18-month-old son. He would always have a story about something his son did that would make us laugh.
"When John talked about how to do the job or was talking with someone that was argumentative, he would make his point by saying, 'The bottom line is . . .' That was his way of letting people know that he was not going to beat around the bush.
"John is being called a hero now. There is no doubt that he is. He is more than that though. A hero changes the outcome of a particular incident or circumstance. John's death surely saved the life or lives of the hostages that were held inside the restaurant.
"John was also a role model. He was an example to others on how to be a police officer and how to just be a friend.
"Hundreds of people will miss John. We all wish there was some way to undo his death. In John's words, the bottom line is, there is nothing we can do, except to pray that no one has to feel the pain of losing someone like John again.
"John, I miss you every day. Thanks for being there all the times I needed cover or a ride to work." Monego, who was born in Passaic, New Jersey on Nov. 5, 1965, was the youngest of three children born to John and Dorothy Monego. He graduated from Amador High School in Pleasanton in 1983.
He graduated from the 97th Basic Academy and was hired in Nov. 1989 by the Alameda County Sheriff's Dept.
He had a short break in service with the Sheriff's Department, when he took a job with the Los Angeles Police Dept. He didn't work there long before he returned to the Alameda County Sheriff's Dept.
Over his distinguished nine-year career, Monego received several commendations from the Sheriff's Department. He worked at the Santa Rita County Jail as a classification officer before he was transferred to Law Enforcement Services at Highland Hospital.
He was assigned to patrol at Eden Township and AC Transit Police services and then was appointed to work for the city of Dublin.
Monego is survived by his wife, Tammy, a California Highway Patrol officer; son, Dominic, 18-months old; as well as his parents and sisters.
A trust fund has been set up for Tammy and Dominic Monego at the Operating Engineers Credit Union, 6300 Village Parkway, Dublin, CA 94568.

Family Bonding Over Books in Turbulent Times
by Linda Jacobson
Aug 27, 2020 | Filed in News & Features
Parents, children, and relatives who read together, whether as part of a book club or on their own time, derive multiple benefits.

Not long after schools, museums, libraries, and much of the United States shut down to control the spread of the coronavirus, Mary English checked in with her contacts at the New-York Historical Society (NYHS) about one activity she was hoping would continue in a virtual format.
For about a year, she and her son Theo, 10, have been faithfully participating in the Reading into History Family Book Club—a chance for parents and children to learn about a historical period they might be unfamiliar with and interact with genuine artifacts in the museum's collection. "It's cool to see what a newspaper used to be like," Theo says.
The books, both fiction and nonfiction, English says, are "ambitious reads" for the nine- to 12-year-olds in the program, but they aren't selections students are likely to be assigned in school.
"One of the things that I like about the book club is that you do go as a parent and a child," says English, highlighting the club's recent reading of Tonya Bolden's Facing Frederick: The Life of Frederick Douglass, a Monumental American Man (Abrams, 2018). "I was discovering a part of history with Theo."
While intergenerational reading has always involved a valuable shared experience on many levels, the pandemic has drawn more people to all-ages book clubs and programs, many organized virtually by nonprofits and libraries. Virtual programming can involve a wider crowd, and the crushing events of 2020 have prompted meaningful explorations of books focusing on equity, racism, and family, historical or contemporary.

The Reading into History program at NYHS gives "kids and their parents equal footing to be interested in something," says Alice Stevenson, vice president and director of the DiMenna Children's History Museum at NYHS. When the museum closed, Stevenson was already moving in the direction of holding Zoom book club gatherings, but knew she'd have to make some adjustments to the format.
First, she says, interacting on Zoom can be "oddly tiring," so she reduced the length of the club meeting by about 30 minutes. But she has increased the frequency of the sessions to meet every two weeks instead of monthly. Stevenson also now gives the families more ways to prepare for the meetings, such as watching a movie adaptation of the book.
There are also some advantages to the remote format. The author of the featured book is always invited to talk to the families, so now they can attend from wherever they live. Participation has shot up considerably, too. In person, between 10 and 30 families participate, but the virtual book club has reached about 500 families—from as far as Michigan, Texas, and California. People can't touch the original documents as they would in the museum, but they still get to view digital versions.
Whether as part of a book club or on their own time, parents and children who continue to read together—even once children are independent readers—derive multiple benefits, says Mary Ann Cappiello, a professor of language and literacy at Lesley University in Cambridge, MA, and blogger at "The Classroom Bookshelf."
"When families read the same books together, parents model enthusiasm for the act of reading, but more importantly, they demonstrate that reading is a valued communal activity," she says. "Reading aloud together as a family allows for younger family members to hear content that they can understand, but from books that may be too complex for them to read independently. This gives them the opportunity to learn more about the world and build an oral knowledge of vocabulary."
At the Skaneateles (NY) Library, not far from Syracuse, the Family Book Club is an effort to continue the positive feelings that come when parents read to their children when they're young. Once kids are reading on their own, both adults and children tend to miss that time, says Mary Beth Schwartzwalder, the children and teens librarian.
"The best way to instill a love for reading in a child is to have good memories around reading," she says. "It helps connect everybody. You suddenly have this thing in common that you do."
While the book club is targeted to families of first and second graders, younger and older siblings often participate. Children get to suggest the books, but Schwartzwalder also likes to feature a mixture of picture and chapter books—and sometimes poetry.
When the parents of a child who was about to age out of the program inquired about continuing the book club over Zoom, Schwartzwalder says that was "kind of the signal I was waiting for." Because no in-person programming is being offered this summer, she plans to continue organizing virtual gatherings for the families.
Mirroring authentic families
Humanities Texas (humanitiestexas.org), a cultural and educational nonprofit that hosts public programs, is also planning a virtual version of its Texas Storytime for emerging readers and their families. Prior to the pandemic, the six-week, in-person version was delivered in collaboration with school districts and libraries in four cities throughout the state—Austin, San Antonio, Midland, and Lufkin.
The program targets low-income, bilingual families with children in Title I schools and focuses on creating enthusiasm for books by Texas authors. In addition to reading the books, families participate in activities related to the stories.
"Our collection of books is very specific to the communities we are serving," says Denise Davila, an assistant professor at University of Texas at Austin who is working with Humanities Texas to modify the program for the summer. "We take great efforts to make sure that the children see images of themselves."

For example, that means the books chosen generally feature families, rather than animal characters. The virtual model will also focus on books related to preparing meals. The program will be part of a research project in collaboration with a central Texas school district. Families with children entering kindergarten this fall are participating, and in addition to weekly virtual gatherings, they'll receive books along with food to prepare.
The titles will highlight home life "so kids and parents are having conversations around meal preparation," Davila says. "There's a lot of research around the importance of developing conversation and oral language skills as a marker for school readiness."
Even if schools hold in-person classes this fall and libraries reopen, Davila says it might be a while before after-school programs return. That's why Elizabeth Frye, a senior program officer at Humanities Texas, adds that a virtual option may continue to be part of the model.
"We're such a big state. It's always a challenge to figure out how we can expand and provide an in-depth, hands-on service that this is," she says, adding that a virtual model may be a way to "expand our reach and set the program up in more communities."
Connection amid stress
Family reading experiences are especially helpful during the pandemic, a stressful and troubling time for both adults and children, Cappiello says. Fiction and nonfiction can help young people learn about past pandemics and "the history of racism in America," she says.
"Reading together allows families to learn…in a safe environment, to enjoy meaningful conversations with one another, and for each member to consider their place in the world," she says. "But perhaps most important of all, reading together as a family in a tumultuous world provides young people with consistency, and a sense that they have something special to look forward to each and every time: meaningful time together."
Theo is particularly drawn to books about "what happened in New York before I was born—even before my mom was born," he says. "I like learning about people who came from different places to New York."
The author visits are a key part of the book club meetings, Stevenson explains. They discuss why they picked that time period to write about, how they conducted their research, and sometimes, how the events of today connect to the topics in the featured book.
The families recently read Erica Armstrong Dunbar's Never Caught: The Washingtons' Relentless Pursuit of Their Runaway Slave, Ona Judge (37 Ink, 2017). "It was heavily focused on what was happening in the world and the legacy of slavery," Stevenson says. "It's always great when we can provide a space for kids and adults to come together to talk about things in context."
At the same time, some of the selections have provided an opportunity to focus on something that's "not about COVID," Stevenson says.
In the virtual format, Stevenson has been working to keep the events interactive, by using Zoom's poll feature, for example. "We have to be more mindful of trying to create a community," she says. When the group read Rosanne Parry's Last of the Name (Carolrhoda, 2019), an Irish singer joined the session to complement the theme of Irish immigrants in New York City during the 1800s.
Both in Zoom and in person, the sessions start off with an ice-breaker activity, often a history question—but without any pressure, English says, to write an essay or get a good grade.
The questions are about "aspects of history that are hidden," she says. "I don't think any of the parents know the answers to the questions, either."
In Theo's opinion, the expanded range of participants in the Zoom format is one of the best upsides of virtual programming. "We just get to see a lot of new people," he says. "I like hearing opinions, what people like about the book. The more opinions, the better, right?"

Buying A Condominium For Investments With Ten Percent Down Home Guides Purchasing a condo for investment and not for your own home can be a tough struggle. Dependent on the residential property markets and the mortgage credit facility available, you may find it impractical to purchase an investment home without a deposit of 25 per cent or 20 per cent.
However, if you find a creditor who can fund your acquisition at a discount of only 10 per cent, the creditor will usually need to make sure that the condo is healthy for tax purposes and that you can easily affordable to be a lessor. Condoms and investment property usually pose a higher degree of exposure for mortgage creditors, making credit more difficult to obtain.
Make sure you have the revenue or resources to buy a condo and maintain it. Even if the deposit is only 10 per cent, it must come from your own account. Split your entire periodic debts, up to and personal amount, by your estimated GNI to compute your DTI or indebtedness.
Creditors demand that you keep your mortgage capital, interest, real estate tax, home contents insurances and the condominium owners' community charges in your capital surplus for several month. Additionally to a 10 per cent decrease, you must produce bank statement of current, saving, pension or other investment accounts that contain readily available resources covering the down payments and compulsory provisions.
Find a creditor with expertise in funding condominiums that are not owner-occupied. Those creditors can be few and far between if the condo residential property value is sluggish or with high installments of foreclosure. However, the property value of a condominium can be lower. Enquire with realtors having expertise in the sale of condominiums about recommendations from creditors. You can find brokers in property agencies near condominiums that interest you or promote in these areas.
Also ask the selling agency of a condo property for recommendations from lenders, or ask the internal condo property creditor if he is offering finance for an investment property with only 10 per cent below. Provide your creditor with this information so that he can establish whether the home is qualified for funding. Insert this application for disclosure of condominiums in the contract of sale.
Specifically, ask the vendor to obtain a condominium survey or certificate filled in by the corporation. "Lenders will examine the budgeting to ascertain if the condo projekt has pecuniary difficulties, a high investment unit rates and too many foreclosures or condo owner in arrears on their condo charges.
In general, such discoveries mean that you cannot fund a condo with a traditional mortgage, regardless of your down payment. Prove to the creditor the 10 per cent down payments. Creditors usually need two to three months' statement of accounts or other investment statement of accounts to check adequate down payments.
Once you have received your accreditation, store the 10% down payments with the trustee. If you have not otherwise agreed to a seller's balance to meet charges, you must also make a contribution to meet closure charges. Acquisition charges for condominiums usually range from 3 to 5 per cent of the selling prices and include creditor charges, fiduciary and security charges and certain pre-paid products.
They must have decent debt/income relationships that show that they can afford to cover their initial house purchase cost as well as the cost of maintaining condominiums, vacancies and adverse operating flows. Powerful distillery for your overall liabilities is no higher than the low 40 per cent bandwidth. K.C. Hernandez has been dealing with property issues since 2009.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading for this promo for Endemol.
A script such as this, with 'timecode' always gets the heart pumping because it requires the voiceover to keep an eye on both their script, which has the text that needs to be recorded, and the different timecodes written down throughout, which indicate very precisely when to begin. Then we have the visuals on screen with a digital timecode clock located at the bottom. Once the film starts playing, the clock starts ticking. All I have to do, is come in 'on time' and finish 'in time', before the next timecode cue!
Of course, there is always the background music that plays through to my ears via the headphones while recording as well. This definitely has an influence on the tempo and tone of the read, as you can hear in this clip.


The server I host this site on was just upgraded to PHP5 and MySQL5. This is also the cause of the downtime last night. If you notice anything has gone wrong, please let me know.
Experience is something you gain shortly after you could have really used it!

È noto anche per essere stato il bassista negli anni '70 e '80 di Lucio Dalla e, dal 1990 al 2003 degli Skiantos.

Biografia

Gli inizi con i Gulp e con Lucio Dalla
Comincia fin da giovanissimo a suonare la chitarra e il sax. Passa al basso, nel 1969, quando entra nel gruppo dei Gulp. Nel '72 è con Jimmy Villotti e Augusto Martelli poi di nuovo con i Gulp, che nel 1973 sono in tour con Mia Martini, ma la svolta arriva quando nel 1974 entra a far parte del gruppo di musicisti di Lucio Dalla, insieme a Giovanni Pezzoli. Il primo album di Dalla in cui sono presenti Pezzoli e Nanni è Automobili del 1976. Il 1979 è l'anno di Banana Republic, e a Pezzoli e Nanni si aggiungono Gaetano Curreri, Ricky Portera e Fabio Liberatori, al termine di Banana Republic con la spinta propulsiva di Lucio Dalla si formano gli Stadio.

Con gli Stadio 1979-1989
Marco Nanni è il bassista dei primi album degli Stadio, da Stadio contenente canzoni come  "Chi te l'ha detto" e "Grande figlio di puttana" inserite nella colonna sonora di Borotalco di Carlo Verdone, a La faccia delle donne,  da Chiedi chi erano i Beatles a Canzoni alla radio. Con gli Stadio, Nanni partecipa a due Festival di Sanremo, nel 1984 con "Allo stadio" e nel 1986 con Canzoni alla radio. Nel 1986 gli Stadio collaborano con Lucio Dalla in occasione di DallAmeriCaruso e nel 1988 in occasione di Dalla/Morandi. Nel 1985 Fabio Liberatori lascia gli Stadio seguito da Ricky Portera nel 1986, così da fine 1986  al 1989, Marco Nanni, Gaetano Curreri e Giovanni Pezzoli, rimangono gli unici componenti originali, a cui si era aggiunto nel 1987 il tastierista Beppe D'Onghia. Il ruolo di Marco Nanni all'interno degli Stadio perde gradualmente importanza, anche con l'arrivo di Roberto Costa, produttore e bassista. Nel libro "Chiedi chi sono gli Stadio" dichiara di essersi sentito estromesso dal lavoro in studio (buona parte del basso di "Canzoni alla radio" è di Roberto Costa) ma resta ancora nei live e nelle apparizioni televisive, finché nel 1989, terminato il tour Dalla-Morandi, decide di abbandonare Stadio e Lucio Dalla. Nel 1990 entra negli Skiantos.

Con gli Skiantos 1990-2003
Con la band demenziale di Freak Antoni, Marco Nanni aveva già collaborato agli inizi partecipando a una registrazione di Karabigniere Blues quando nel 1990 entra stabilmente nella formazione, collabora ad  album come Signore dei dischi (1992) e Saluti da Cortina (1993) che ottengono un discreto successo. Negli anni 90 ha ancora casuali collaborazioni con Lucio Dalla, ma non lascia gli Skiantos, dove rimane fino al 2003, anno in cui decide di ritirarsi a vita privata.
Nel 2016 partecipa a "Giano", il nuovo album solista di Fabio Testoni, chitarrista degli Skiantos, suonando il basso in Storia furba.

Vita privata
Sposato con Maira, ha due figli, Teodoro ed Edoardo, anche loro musicisti (nelle band French Kiss: Aloha Beach, Mt. Zuma, con CIMINI e Nicolò Carnesi). Vive fra Bologna e Cesenatico e coltiva la sua passione per le macchinine da collezione.

Artificial intelligence and machine learning have emerged in the marketing industry as a pathway to competitive advantage. The best marketers are identifying, evaluating and testing AI-driven applications to make better sense of their data, create personalized customer experiences and accelerate revenue growth. In fact, 84% of marketing organizations either implemented or expanded AI and machine learning experiments and implementations in 2018.
While it's no doubt that artificial intelligence has helped marketing teams improve their productivity, with most brands spending between 25 and 43% of their marketing budget on content, it's important to understand how AI can impact this specific department.
The truth is, artificial intelligence has actually had an active presence in the content marketing industry for years. Various martech platforms have leveraged AI elements to help content-focused organizations build content plans, plan keywords, analyze competitors, create video transcripts and personalize content at scale. Some organizations have even used AI to write simple, fact-based articles. The Washington Post, for example, uses its AI-bot, Heliograf, to provide the public with sports reporting and congressional race updates. Heliograf even reported on the Rio Olympics back in 2016.
Organizations across multiple industries, like technology, consumer goods, manufacturing and healthcare, have made significant investments into their content strategies, building powerful content production engines. For many companies, the volume of created content, videos, visuals and resources can be measured in terabytes.
Managing large volumes of content at scale, across multiple divisions and company locations can become increasingly complex. One application of AI that's emerging as a solution is auto-tagging, making content easily searchable by keywords, themes or other attributes. This is a process that's been handled manually for years, taking hours of administration work to tag created content within the organizations content or digital asset management system.
Now, thanks to machine learning, AI models are able to auto-tag using general terms, like color, common objects and text recognition, and can be trained to recognize, tag or index content elements that are unique to specific business cases.
There are 3 primary levels of AI customization to choose from. Selecting which one is right for you depends on your use-case, machine learning expertise and budget.
Packaged Machine-Learning-as-a-Service is the lowest level of MLaaS customizations. In this level, the provider equips you with a packaged, ready-to-use model with a pre-defined set of artificial intelligence options, like facial recognition, object detection and text extraction. This is the easiest undertaking, as the AI-vendor is 100% responsible for providing the data, training, testing and deployment, so you don't need any machine learning skills to use it. Once connected with your library, you're able to start using the model immediately to tag your visual content. Packaged MLaaS is used when an organization has a relatively basic AI use-case, where more generic auto-tagging terms are acceptable for their business.
Example: A tourism company is uploading thousands of vacation photos to their media library every week. They don't have the time or manpower to manually tag the photos themselves, so they connect a Packaged MLaaS model to their library to auto-tag them. Now, when they need an image for a honeymoon webpage, they can search for "Couple", "Beach" and "Sunset", and the library will return photos that have been automatically tagged by the Packaged MLaaS model.
Guided Machine-Learning-as-a-Service is more complex and is used to address specific business use-cases. With this customization level, the machine learning vendor provides you with a space where you can classify your own media, adding images and tagging them appropriately to teach the model until you're satisfied with its confidence level. As you'll be providing the training and testing, you need to understand basic statistics and precision levels, so you can evaluate if the machine is at the right level of confidence. It does take some time to train the model – Microsoft, for example, suggests about 30 images per tag to get an acceptable level of confidence. This form of MLaaS is used if there's a business case that can't be satisfied using generic auto-tags.
Example: A telecommunications company has a library to store visuals of the phones they offer. As they sell a variety of brands and generations of phones, the auto-tag "Cellphone" is too generic to make their visuals easily searchable. They decide to implement a Guided MLaaS model, so they can train the model to differentiate between the various brands and generations (such as an iPhone 8 or a Samsung Galaxy S9). After training the model to a 99% confidence level, they connect it with their library so it can start auto-tagging newly uploaded visuals with the correct phone tags.
Specialized Machine-Learning-as-a-Service is the model that provides the most flexibility across tooling, platform and infrastructure, but also requires a full understanding of machine learning models and system integrations. With Specialized MLaaS, the vendor provides you with a virtual machine that's prepackaged with standard machine learning software and add-ons, so that an internal IT team or 3rd party can code, train, package and deploy the model. In this case, you need to have a data scientist and a developer or technical integrator to provide the data, training, testing and deployment. Specialized MLaaS is only used for very specific use-cases and requires the greatest resource investment of all the MLaaS models.
Example: A pharmaceutical company is performing a scientific experiment that requires the identification and tagging of different strains of bacteria. As the differences between the bacteria are so slight and require advanced knowledge to identify, the company's use-case is too complex to be satisfied using Guided MLaaS. They hire a data specialist and programmer to build a fully-customized AI model using Azure Machine Learning Service. After developing, training and testing the model, they can begin auto-tagging each specific strain of bacteria.
Regardless of the MLaaS level that's right for your organization, enabling your team with artificial intelligence and auto-tagging will enable them to prepare for the future of content marketing. These 6 best practices for implementing AI in your media library can help you get started.

In 1967 I began my life in the student union of a university. In other words, I was in school. But, classes definitely took a back seat to people-watching and attempts at relationships. I would not say that I was particularly good at the latter, but I made a great observer. I even stayed near the school community for an extra year until an opportunity came up to move in with friends in Toronto, Canada, which turned out to be a pivotal opportunity for me.

'Pray No More' Out Now!
I'm so excited to announce the release of one of my favourite co-writes from the past year, a song with the ever stunning Benedict Cork, called 'Pray No More'. We wrote this in the early part of 2018 in a slew of sessions that saw us write song after song that just hit home on so many levels. In the spirit of going deep, we wanted to explore Ben's experience as a gay man - and the experience of so many non-cisgender people - from the perspective of their parents, and the sacrifices they may feel they would make for their child; giving up their faith, their communities, etc, to become an ally for their children. What does it mean when religious teachings are twisted to condemn, rather than love? Would you give up your faith and your traditions for your child?

We tasted Lay's, Utz (pictured), and Munchos chips.
We tried three popular brands of potato chips to determine which one tastes best.
We compared Lay's, Utz, and Munchos — all of which are found in common grocery stores.
Lay's was the clear winner because it had a good balance of salt, grease, and crunch.
Utz is a good option if you want to pair your chip with dip, as it's less salty and thicker.
Munchos are the perfect pick if you want a grease-free chip with a lot of flavor.
Nothing satisfies a salt craving quite like a handful (or bowlful) of potato chips. When that need for a crisp, crunchy snack hits, you'll eat whatever is available to you at the time. But if you're walking through the grocery store and restocking your supply, you may have trouble deciding which brand to buy.
Fortunately, six of my co-workers willingly tested potato chips to determine which one is the best bet. As part of an ongoing INSIDER taste test series, we put three popular brands of potato chips to the test to see which one satisfies your salt cravings the most. In the past, we've sampled everything from microwave popcorn to chocolate chips cookies to cheap beer.
We bought all three potato chips at a grocery store in New York City. For consistency's sake, we sampled each brand and judged it based on three main criteria: salt, grease, and crunch.
Because of brand loyalty, we did our best to make this a blind taste test.
All three brands of chips in bowls.
Although chip enthusiasts will eat any crispy, grease-covered potato, they can't help but have their favorite. And that was especially true with this group. In addition to having personal preferences, some had fond memories of specific brands. One taste tester, for example, grew up on Munchos — her mom's favorite chip. Another could remember the very first time she had a bag of Lay's.
"My mom is very healthy and didn't allow many processed foods in the house, but she would give me money to get fruit snacks out of the vending machine after my swimming practices," she said.
One day, in a moment of rebellion, she used her dollar to get a bag of Lay's instead.
"I don't mean to be dramatic but the taste was so distinct and so delightful that I have literally never forgotten that moment."
In an effort to keep the tasters as unbiased as possible, we poured the chips in bowls rather than let the testers dive into the bag.
We started with Utz chips, which many assumed would be less greasy due to their lack of shine.
A family-size bag of Utz chips.
Looks can be deceiving, but in the case of Utz chips, they were spot-on. Tasters immediately noticed that their fingers were grease-free. They also noticed that Utz had a mild salt flavor that lingered on the tongue.
Utz chips in all their glory.
"It's a good, classic chip," on tester said. "I have no complaints."
Another agreed, noting that it was a "thoroughly average chip" that she would happily eat.
We moved on to Lay's, which were praised for their balanced blend of salt and grease.
A standard bag of Lay's classic chips.
My co-workers were thrilled when these chips hit their tongues, noting the noticeable increase in grease and salt.
"These are way salty, which I love," one co-worker exclaimed.
A bowl of Lay's potato chips, which was quickly emptied.
Another noted that, despite the extra grease, this chip was very light. Additionally, even with the salt, the Lay's tasted "like an actual potato, which is nice."
It was clear by the near-empty bowl that Lay's were the front-runners and would be hard to beat.
We ended the taste test with Munchos, which we learned were not "pure" potato chips.
Munchos potato chips are made with enriched cornmeal .
When they finally tried the Munchos, the tasters noticed a very distinct — and very different — flavor. Yes, there was salt — a lot of it. But, as someone pointed out, the chip tasted more like a corn chip than a potato chip.
We looked at the ingredients and discovered that, in addition to potatoes and vegetable oil, Munchos are made with enriched cornmeal. This not only contributes to the flavor, but also the extra crunch that other chips lacked.
"It's not your typical chip," one taster said.
When it came time to pick a favorite, Lay's was deemed the clear winner.
Given my tasters' preference for salty, greasy chips, Lay's won in a landslide for balancing the two components.
"If you're gonna have chips, you want the greasiest, saltiest ones out there," one taster said. "This was it."
Tasters enjoying Lay's — our favorite.
"This is the standard which I will measure all other chips by," another said.
That said, none of the tasters would turn down Munchos or Utz.
Despite Lay's being the overwhelming favorite, tasters agreed that they would happily snack on Munchos or Utz.
One tester, who grew up on Munchos, said they are her ideal chip.
"They are crispy and super salty, which is what I look for in a chip," she said. Others noted that the chips' lack of grease may be a draw for people who want a "healthier" chip.
Utz, on the other hand, was deemed the best dipping chip because it was the thickest chip with the least amount of salt.
At the end of the day, all chips are good chips. But if you're looking for one that is greasy, salty, and crunchy — aka, perfection — then Lay's is the way to go.

The partial government shutdown, which is delaying companies' plans for initial public offerings, also could be making the nation more vulnerable to cyberattacks. The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, part of the Department of Homeland Security, has furloughed 43% of its staff—more than 1,500 of its 3,541 employees.…The shutdown also doesn't help with the long-term problem of finding enough qualified cybersecurity professionals—and persuading them to work in government, where the pay is considerably lower than in industry. "There's a massive talent shortage in cybersecurity," said Justin Cappos, a professor at the NYU Tandon School of Engineering, which is expanding its cybersecurity program. "These [DHS] organizations are already facing an uphill battle recruiting talent."
