The agreement expects to see the anticipated opening of the 125-room Moxy Chennai and 200-room Moxy Bengaluru, which are both expected to open in 2024.
05 December, 2019 by BW Online Bureau
MARRIOTT INTERNATIONAL announced the signing of agreements to open six new hotels across India, underscoring both companies' commitment to expanding in this dynamic country. Under the agreement, Prestige Group would build new hotels across the W, JW Marriott, Tribute Portfolio and Moxy brands across India's Southern belt, representing nearly 1,000 rooms across four brands.
One of India's largest and most successful real estate developers, Prestige Group, plans to open the W Bengaluru, Tribute Portfolio Resort Bengaluru, Tribute Portfolio Hotel Kochi Maradu, JW Marriott Bengaluru Prestige Golfshire Resort & Spa, Moxy Chennai and Moxy Bengaluru, all of which are expected to open between 2021 and 2025.
"We are continuously striving to expand our market reach, strengthen our growth and set new hospitality benchmarks. Our portfolio of 120 hotels across 16 brands reinforces our commitment to India, which remains a key focus market for Marriott International. We are thrilled to be introducing Moxy, our 17th brand in South Asia with such an experienced and hotel developer like the Prestige Group," said Rajeev Menon, President - Asia Pacific (excluding Greater China), Marriott International.
Irfan Razack – Chairman & Managing Director, Prestige Group said, "There are not many industries in the world that have the resilience and optimism of the hospitality sector in India. The hotel industry has been one of the primary businesses driving the economic growth of the country. Projected to be worth INR 1,210.87 billion by 2023, the Indian hospitality sector today is witnessing an upward trend across mid-scale, upscale and luxury segments. Renewed interest in the sector from leading global investors and steady infrastructure development in metros as well as tier II and tier III cities are driving the demand. Similarly, industry-friendly government policies, including the GST reduction from 28 per cent to 18 per cent for premium and luxury hotels, reduction of corporate tax and UDAN, the regional airport development and Regional Connectivity Scheme (RCS) aimed at making air travel affordable and widespread, are paving the way for robust market demand. The future holds immense promise."
Set to debut in India, the Moxy brand targets Next-gen millennial travellers with its fun and playful service, buzzing social spaces, and stylish, tech-forward guest rooms. The agreement expects to see the anticipated opening of the 125-room Moxy Chennai and 200-room Moxy Bengaluru, which are both expected to open in 2024. Combining style and affordability, this brand is unique in its youthful design aesthetics, thereby bringing freshness in this space.
With this signing, Marriott International is also expecting to open the W Bengaluru in 2025. With 185 rooms, this hotel will continue to deliver its signature brand promise of Whatever/Whenever and break the norms of 'traditional' luxury with its eclectic offerings. This will be the third 'W' branded property in India after Goa & W Mumbai.
The company is also slated to open the JW Marriott Bengaluru Prestige Golfshire Resort & Spa, a 299-room resort, located at a 20-25-minute drive from Kempegowda International Airport Bengaluru in 2022. Inspired by the principles of mindfulness and featuring touchpoints of the JW Marriott's intentional and reflective focus, the hotel will be a luxury haven for the sophisticated and mindful traveller with its finely curated programming and intuitive hospitality.
Together with the Prestige Group, Marriott International launched its 100th hotel in India last year with the opening of the Sheraton Grand Bengaluru Whitefield Hotel & Convention Center, and currently also manage the Aloft Bengaluru Cessna, Business Park.

Ashley Robinson heard the news and immediately thought of a dedication for Pat Summitt, the legendary Tennessee coach: orange fingernails.
Robinson played for Summitt from 2000-04, feeling the shame shock and concern as other alumni upon hearing NCAA basketball's winningest coach was diagnosed with early onset dementia at age 59. A Storm center, Robinson immediately reached out to her former coach via text messaging and Twitter to express her support on Tuesday.
"She text'd back that she's doing OK, she loves me and it's time to focus on winning another national championship," Robinson said of Summitt, who made a video statement about her condition on Tuesday. She'll continue to coach the Volunteers for the 2011-12 season.
Legendary Virgina coach Debbie Ryan, who retired in March, said she cried upon hearing the news Tuesday morning. Ryan coached for 34 years, defeating Summitt's Vols once en route to winning a national championship.
Now a volunteer coach for the Storm, Ryan thought of her own public battle with pancreatic cancer. A survivor, she was diagnosed in 2000 and continued to coach the Cavilers.
"This is so difficult because she's really been the matriarch of our whole sport and someone who you see as such a pillar of character and leadership," said Ryan of Summitt, who led Tennessee to eight NCAA titles. "She will turn this around into something very positive because that's the way she handles everything in life. She'll find a good plan in helping millions and millions of people that might have to go through this. This was the first step, to talk about it.
Storm coach Brian Agler and veteran Katie Smith (Ohio State) also expressed support and concern for Summitt. Agler's daughter, Taylor, is an impressive high school guard in Ohio, already putting Tennessee on the wish-list of colleges to attend.

Radiohead say their Glastonbury 1997 headline set was 'a form of hell'
Luke Morgan Britton Jun 22, 2017 11:09 pm BST
Radiohead talks famous Glastonbury headline set in 1997 Credit: Getty
Band's infamous set saw them suffer from technical problems
Radiohead have discussed their chaotic but classic Glastonbury 1997 headline set, with guitarist Ed O'Brien describing it as feeling like a "form of hell" at the time.
The band headline Worthy Farm's Pyramid stage again this weekend (Friday, June 23) having previously headlined in both 1997 and 2003. Their famed 1997 performance was riddled with mistakes with the band suffering from technical problems.
Speaking to Jo Whiley on BBC Radio 2, O'Brien recalled: "It was like a form of hell. We were doing something that was like a dream, to play the Pyramid Stage on a Saturday night, it doesn't get better than that. [But] to find yourself in a situation whereby it felt like we were in crisis mode – the equipment failure was happening, [we were] trying to keep all members onstage, people not walking off – it was like 'this should be a heaven but was like a kind of hell'."
O'Brien added that their experience may have helped "galvanise" the group. Listen to the clip here.
Frontman Thom Yorke recently discussed how he came close to walking off stage during the set. Yorke spoke about how he nearly abandoned the performance during the encore because "all the speakers have been blowing up and stuff."
"At one point I just went over to Ed [O'Brien, guitarist]. I tapped him on the shoulder and said, 'I'm off mate, see you later,'" said Yorke. "He turned around and went, 'If you do, you'll probably live the rest of your life regretting it'. I went, 'Good point.'"
Yorke also admitted that he initially didn't want to perform at Glastonbury at all. "I'd burnt myself out," he said. "We had a meeting about what we were going to do for the shows and I was like, 'I can't do Glastonbury'. I just needed a break. And in fact I didn't get one for another year and a bit, by which point I was pretty much catatonic."

One reason it has taken me so long to write my October column is that I have been busy writing (here and here) and arguing on radio (here and here) against the Bush-Paulson-Bernanke $700 billion bailout of various Wall Street companies' bad investments. My main moral argument against the bailout is that the government is forcibly taking our resources and giving them to the government's favorites. On a Denver radio station, I suggested that Hank Paulson's motives should not be assumed to be pure, given the huge amount of personal wealth he had at stake. The interviewer asked me incredulously, "Are you suggesting something sinister?" "Actually, yes," I said.
My main pragmatic argument against the bailout is that the government, by choosing where $700 billion goes, is essentially engaging in central planning. Government officials think they can do a better job than decentralized free markets can do at allocating resources.
Then I realized that there's a close connection between the U.S. government's domestic policy and its foreign policy. In both cases, the government is forcibly taking our resources and, to the extent it finances its activities with deficits, our children's resources, and using them to pursue its own ends. In the cases of Afghanistan and Iraq, the U.S. government brought down foreign governments that it disliked and replaced them with leaders that it likes. In the case of the bailout, the government is putting resources into places where we consumers and investors, with our "dollar votes," have decided we don't want to put them.
Although Bush's major step toward centralized economic planning of the U.S. economy appears – and, in fact, is – large, philosophically it is the logical next step. Someone who believes that he can look "the man in the eye" and "be able to get a sense of his soul" – as George Bush said after meeting Vladimir Putin the first time – is not someone who has a lot of humility about his own abilities. It's not surprising, therefore, that George Bush, with incredibly little knowledge of the Middle East and, apparently, no awareness of the animus between the Sunnis and the Shias, could be confident that he could bring a stable democratic government to Iraq.
Similarly, if he has that degree of confidence without ever having traveled to Afghanistan or Iraq before making war on them, it's not surprising that Bush would have the same confidence in Henry Paulson's being able to plan Wall Street and Main Street from the Treasury Building. After all, Paulson used to work on Wall Street, and Bush has actually been in New York a few times. So how difficult could it be, really, to plan an economy?
Hayek goes on to argue that this local knowledge can't possibly be aggregated in the minds of a few central planners, no matter how brilliant. And if the government does not leave people free to act on their own local knowledge, most of it won't be acted on.
The analogy between centrally planning an economy and centrally deciding to intervene in another country's affairs is not perfect. Analogies seldom are. The main difference is that a government that forswears central planning and leaves individuals free to make their own decisions within a system of property rights will typically end up being the government of a prosperous country. A government that forswears planning other countries' affairs, by contrast, will not, by doing so, cause people in that other country to make good choices about their own governments. But the point of the analogy is that a government that refuses to interfere with choices about another country's government will avoid making a bad choice, whereas a government that tries to meddle will almost inevitably make a bad choice.

An OTP (One Time Password) is an automatically generated numeric or alphanumeric string of characters that authenticates a user. The password is only valid for a single login session or transaction. That means each time you login in to your account, a new password is generated, which you can use to authenticate your login. This password is usually sent to you via SMS. If the number you use is also registered on the Hubtel app, the code will be sent as a push notification as well.
An OTP isn't a static password, so it's not vulnerable to replay attacks. As such, if a hacker steals an OTP that has been previously used to log into a service, it won't work again. Security matters and this method keeps the bad guys out.
A second major advantage is that a user who uses the same password for multiple systems, is not made vulnerable on all of them, if the password for one of these is gained by an attacker.
The way you log in to your Hubtel account has changed: It's now more secure and easier. Simply enter you phone number, wait for a PIN (OTP), and you're good to go.

Search Engine Optimization is additionally known as SEO. The major search engines such as Yahoo, Bing, and Google all display the most relevant web sites at the top of their search pages.

One can look at the process of SEO as a way of driving highly qualified traffic to your website.

Business owners should adjust their perception of SEO as being an investment, rather than an expense. Investments generate profits, while costs reduce them. Stereotypical people, may ignore SEO and consider it a myth since designing a site is simple. Nonetheless, you have to remember that the ultimate goal of SEO is to bring traffic to your business.
For instance, a person trying to find an eatery to eat in West Miami will select all from the ones that come up in the first rankings page and not the others. Always remember that businesses can't be successful in the absence of investments.

SEO can help a website grow in the long term. The consequence is that it will keep on generating traffic. While paid strategies could land you on the top page, the advertisements go away as soon as you stop paying for them. Whereas organic searches will last indefinitely and turn into a long term investment.
Mobile phones have become the device of choice of millions of internet searchers. This is no new thing since cellular devices are convenient to carry around and when you get stuck somewhere, they can come in handy and help you find a way out. However, mobile users totally neglect paid ads and look at the organic searches. This is a consequence of the fact that organic results cater to specific users, being therefore more inclined to suit their needs. Business owners who recognize the importance of mobile internet search should concentrate on SEO.
The use of smartphones and tablets is tightly connected with the rise of social media platforms. Users of Twitter, Facebook, Twitter, and Whatsapp are always referring to business when conversing. When searching online for solutions to their problems, people may choose your website, if it is useful and easy to access. If you have quality content and can present the best solution to that user's problem, you and the website are certain to get an instant vote of confidence.
It is simple to overlook SEO when you run a small local business. However, a large number of small businesses can easily gain a lot from SEO, as so many consumers are looking for local solutions. Consider how many people look for a local restaurant online because they want to order online, if you rank at the top, you just gained a new customer. Any business that is able to rank high is going to see the benefits of SEO. Keep in mind that users conduct reviews after finishing their transaction, which adds up to the credibility.
Local businesses in West Miami can use this insight to get recommendations from local customers. If you are afraid that SEO is a waste of time and money, consider how many people move into your city on a yearly basis, all looking for something.
SEO doesn't stop once you obtain your desired top rankings. You also need to monitor these rankings, in order to make sure they stick. The bare fact is that once a single business disregards SEO, others will attain the top rankings, which indicates that they also acknowledge the significance of SEO. Throwing a firm's site to the wind is choosing to ignore prospective clients.
It has been noted that most people spend their time on the internet. Their hectic life and busy schedules don't prevent them from using the internet as a source of information, learning and entertainment, and sometimes as a business place. Television and print are on the way out, it is only a matter of time. By investing in SEO today, you help your business maintain its relevance in the future.
It's very difficult for small businesses in West Miami to draw in clients from established brands. SEO is an inexpensive and equal platform everybody can use to attract customers. There are many big businesses who are not concerned with SEO and it is allowing smaller businesses to sneak in a get a much bigger piece of the pie. In the long run, trust is built, and prospects become seasoned clients.

Taxi Dispute Part of Larger Power Struggle
Captain Ed from Captains Quarters blog has posted something on the fight taking place between the Somali cab drivers and the Metropolitan Airports Commission. That raised some red flags for me since I just wrote about the dispute here so I decided to do a little googling of the subject. What I found was a Strib article by Katherine Kersten.
Let's first look at what Captain Ed wrote:
The refusal of a large number of Islamic cabbies to transport passengers with alcohol in their luggage or service dogs for the blind and handicapped, and the local fatwa on which they rely for their position, has led to a showdown with the Metropolitan Airport Commission:
At a meeting Wednesday of the Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC), airport staff members asked the commission to give the go-ahead for public hearings on a tougher policy that would suspend the licenses of drivers who refuse service for any reason other than safety concerns.
Drivers who refuse to accept passengers transporting alcohol or service dogs would have their airport licenses suspended 30 days for the first offense and revoked two years for the second offense, according to a proposed taxi ordinance revision. ...
But Hassan Mohamud, imam at Al-Taqwa Mosque of St. Paul, and director of the Islamic Law Institute at the Muslim American Society of Minnesota, one of the largest Islamic organizations in the state, said that asking Muslims to transport alcohol "is a violation of their faith" as well as of the spirit of the First Amendment.
Mohamud, an attorney who teaches Islamic law at William Mitchell Law School in St. Paul, said, "Muslims do not consume, carry, sell or buy alcohol." Islam also considers the saliva of dogs to be unclean, he said.
Mohamud said he would ask airport officials to reconsider, adding that he hoped that a compromise could be worked out that would serve as a bridge between the American legal system and the cultural and religious values of the immigrants.
Ibrahim wants nothing of this supposed compromise:
It is not possible to massage this into further outrage, but there is plenty of need to wonder about wider meanings and consequences, not to mention why such a situation was allowed to drag on with no decisive action to date.
Even if one could dismiss such shenanigans as a humorous episode that escaped nationwide attention until recently and will soon go away, what of the next challenge?
What if Islamic drivers deny the right of transportation to women wearing short skirts, robed priests and rabbis, or homosexual couples, as indeed has happened in Minneapolis?
And what to do should conductors, pilots, and stewards on trains and planes insist they should not transport unveiled women or serve alcohol. How far off is the day when emboldened imams in neighborhoods where American Muslims are in the majority, such Dearborn, Mich., demand the broadcasting of the calls to prayer over loudspeakers at dawn and at other times.
Ibrahim has the right perspective on this issue. The Muslims who relocated to Minneapolis did not get forced into the position of driving cabs, a dangerous task at times as I can personally attest (I briefly drove a cab in Orange County, California eighteen years ago). They chose the job on their own, and by all accounts, have done rather well through their hard work. Part of the responsibility of taking those jobs is to follow the laws that apply to them, and free access to service dogs and people without prejudice are chief among those laws.
This fatwa, issued by the Minnesota chapter of the Muslim Society, exists as an attempt to foist Islam onto Americans who have not chosen it. It will not end with service dogs and alcohol; as Ibrahim notes, it has already gone beyond both. They will eventually refuse service to vast swaths of the traveling public, which will render MSP's cabstands a huge bottleneck for those who must use the airport.
Here's what Ms. Kersten wrote on the subject this past October:
At the Starbucks coffee shop in Minneapolis' Cedar-Riverside neighborhood, a favorite Somali gathering spot, holidaymakers celebrating Eid, the end of Ramadan, filled the tables on Monday. Several taxis were parked outside.
An animated circle of Somalis gathered when the question of the airport controversy was raised.
"I was surprised and shocked when I heard it was an issue at the airport," said Faysal Omar. "Back in Somalia, there was never any problem with taking alcohol in a taxi."
Jama Dirie said, "If a driver doesn't pick up everyone, he should get his license canceled and get kicked out of the airport."
Two of the Somalis present defended the idea that Islam prohibits cabdrivers from transporting passengers with alcohol. An argument erupted. The consensus seemed to be that only a small number of Somalis object to transporting alcohol. It's a matter of personal opinion, not Islamic law, several men said.
Ahmed Samatar, a nationally recognized expert on Somali society at Macalester College, confirmed that view. "There is a general Islamic prohibition against drinking," he said, "but carrying alcohol for people in commercial enterprise has never been forbidden. There is no basis in Somali cultural practice or legal tradition for that.
"This is one of those new concoctions."It is being foisted on the Somali community by an inside or outside group," he added. "I do not know who."
So what's the fuss about? Here's Ms. Kersten reported:
How did the MAC connect with the society? "The Minnesota Department of Human Rights recommended them to us to help us figure out how to handle this problem," Hogan said.
Omar Jamal, director of the Somali Justice Advocacy Center, thinks he knows why the society is promoting a "no-alcohol-carry" agenda with no basis in Somali culture. "MAS is an Arab group; we Somalis are African, not Arabs," he said. "MAS wants to polarize the world, create two camps. I think they are trying to hijack the Somali community for their Middle East agenda. They look for issues they can capitalize on, like religion, to rally the community around. The majority of Somalis oppose this, but they are vulnerable because of their social and economic situation."
Based on this reporting, here's what we know:
"There was never any problem with taking alcohol in a taxi" in Somalia.
MAS, the U.S. branch of the Muslim Brotherhood, has issued a fatwa outlawing the carrying of alcohol in taxis.
MAS is "an Arab Islamic group" seeking to intimidate the Somali Muslim groups by pitting group against group and individual against individual.
In fact, we have quotes from "a nationally recognized expert on Somali society at Macalester College" and from a Somali taxi driver saying that transporting alcohol-carrying passengers has never been a big thing. In fact, Ahmed Samatar, the expert on Somali society at Macalester says "There is no basis in Somali cultural practice or legal tradition for that."
What I gather from all this is that MAS wants to create a major disruption so that John Conyers will write legislation that will give special 'protections' to Muslim taxi drivers who would bottle up traffic at airports nationwide. Let's remember that this is the airport where the imams were taken off of US Airways Flight 300 right after the midterm elections. Let's not forget that Conyers wrote a resolution condemning that incident. Let's not forget that that resolution would give Muslims special civil-rights protections. Let's also remember that this airport is either just inside Keith Ellison's district or possible a mile or two outside his district. (It's difficult to tell based on this particular map.)
It's also obvious that the Qu'ran is silent on this specific issue, though it definitely speaks to Muslims consuming alcohol.
The bottom line to this seems to be that MAS, an organization with ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, seems to want to divide Somali taxi drivers in an attempt to expand their sphere of influence.
That hardly sounds like a matter of religious conviction. It's more like another step taken to build a worldwide caliphate.
You'll want to read all of Katherine Kersten's article. In fact, I'd strongly recommend you read everything she's written on this subject & on the Flying Imam Fiasco.

A few corrections: The Metro Airport Commision states that they have received no complaints whatsoever of Muslim taxi drivers refusing service to disabled persons with service dogs, to women with short skirts, to priests, etc. The only issue is that some (not all) Muslim drivers do not want to transport passengers who have containers of alcohol.
The only way that the driver would even know if the passenger has a container of alcohol is if the passenger had removed it from his/her luggage before boarding the cab. The only logical reason the passenger would have wanted to do this is to open and drink it, which puts the driver and passenger in violation of the laws against having an open container in a motor vehicle.
For a short time, back in the day, I used to drive a cab. While there are very few laws governing taxi service, there are specifics in the contracts with the cities within which they are licensed to operate. If the city contract says they must transport passengers with open containers, then that section of the contract is void. Generally, a taxi driver, who on average makes very little money, will take any passenger anywhere. However, due to the high risk of robbery, assault and murder, cab drivers have the same right as any merchant - the right to refuse service. Here in Cleveland, taxi drivers usually refuse service to anyone who looks like a danger to the driver, including those who have open containers.
As to the six imams and the airline case, your blog "forgot" to mention that it is already federal law that airlines cannot discriminate based on religion, and that the police report found the passengers to be lying. Six agencies questioned and cleared the imams. The airlines have been successfully sued on numerous occasions for violating passengers and employees rights by discriminating, including successful lawsuits for denying service to Muslims. These imams are not asking for any "extra" or "special" or "new" rights, they are simply asking that the court enforce, once again, the existing law. See http://hatewatchhallofshame.blogspot.com for citations on the law and previous lawsuits against the airlines for discrimination.
Jim, it's comical that you would post something like this, with the amount of outright lies you have written about me on the web.

Sewer Damage Cupertino CA Mitigation (408) 713-2990 BEST Choice!
Want Sewer Damage Cupertino Dry-Out Expertise?
While floods are possibly best known for generating extensive water damage to businesses and homes, they can additionally cause sewage from sanitary sewer lines to back up into places through drain pipes.
These kinds of backups not only produce damage which is complicated and pricey to rectify, but also create health dangers.
The majority of house owner and business insurance policies do not handle sewer back up except if special sewer backup coverage is added to the insurance policy.
Sewer backup coverage is accessible from most insurance carriers for a nominal cost, usually less than $100 for a yearly insurance policy.
A lot of property owners and business owners may not recognise that they are responsible for the routine service and repair service of the property or sewer lateral the pipeline between the municipality sanitary sewer main, customarily situated underneath the street, and the structure.
The sewer lateral is possesed and sustained by the property owner taking into account any piece that could go on into the roadway or public right of way. A split or worn away lateral or one filled with tree roots will enable groundwater to bleed into the structure, causing the possible sewer backup situations.
Stoppages Due To Tree Roots: Bushes and trees seeking water could make their way in to sewer line gaps creating significant damage. These may start out little, getting into a little crack through the pipe; however, as the tree or shrub continues to develop, so does the root. Tree roots may go in the service pipe at couplings and trigger stoppages. These could as well progress a extensive way, and roots from various sorts of trees behave in different ways.
Should you suspect that city trees are responsible for sewer line destruction, your plumbing contractor can talk to the municipality and samplings of the roots will be made use of to help pinpoint the trees and who is under obligation for clean-up. In many instances a blockage is the outcome of a mixture of town and personal trees. For this case expenditures are apportioned in between the city and property owner.
Sanitary Main: A stoppage can turn up located in a metro sanitary main.
Sewerage coming from the main can back up into houses and offices through flooring drains if the obstruction is not sensed in time. Generally that happens slowly and gradually, giving the home owner time to get in touch with a certified plumber to figure out the damages. When water is entering into your basement at a accelerated rate, dial the city public works center and describe the complication swiftly to ensure that a municipality manager will check things out.
Water in Bsmt: A good amount of cellar flooding is not linked with the hygienic sewer equipment. Oftentimes, dirt settles adjacent to the premises and, if not dealt with, brings about rainwater flowing in the direction of the property and down the outside of the foundation wall. This is specifically true in more mature homes at which cracks could have formed in the foundation or floor slab that enable water to get in the basement. The cement floor and basement walls of the buildings may have worn away to the degree that they are not water-proof. For this reason, water can turn up in a basement that has never experienced a water predicament.
When the area is drenched after repeated or substantial rain storms, this frequently develops. Drainage may be greatly improved by verifying that water recedes from the structure. House owners might likewise thwart flooding by water-sealing the cellar.
Not legal Plumbing Connections: Do not connect French drains, sump pumps and other flood control equipment to your sanitary sewer. It is against the law, and particles and sand will most likely block your line. Contact a plumbing contractor to change any sort of illegal couplings.
Deal with Grease Properly: Cooking oil ought to be poured into a heat-resistant container and disposed of properly, as soon as it cools off, certainly not in the sink. Pouring grease down the drain with water can easily generate notable complications. As the grease cools down, it is going to solidify either in the drain, the homeowner's line, or in the main sewer causing the pipe to constrict and in time stop up.
Switch Your Pipes With Brand New Plastic pipe: At least one way to keep tree roots from going into your line is to replace your line and tap with brand new plastic piping. If you continue to have issues with tree root systems flourishing in your lateral, you may need to have roots cut regularly.
Setup a Backwater Deterrence Control device: A backwater control device is a component placed in to a sewer line, and sometimes into a drain line, in the basement of your house or business to prevent sewer line backflows.
The costs to put in one hinges on the style of plumbing in your house or company and the challenge of setup.
Deal With Paper Products Properly: Paper towels, non-reusable (and fabric) diapers, and feminine products can surely produce numerous problems in the home owner's lateral as well as in the town main for the reason that they do not break down very easily, as toilet paper does.
Heavy steam washing or removing wet carpets or curtains.

That server has now been found and seized by law enforcement officials.

With new Saints deal, Drew Brees might get the finish he deserves
David Steele
It's easy to say now that we always knew that the Saints were going to pay Drew Brees. The question was whether they were going to pay Brees what he deserved. Yes, at age 37, but also yes, after 15 years in the league and 10 with the team he led to a soul-cleansing Super Bowl win.
Also yes, after he tainted a lot of that with his reaction to Colin Kaepernick's protest. Never mind that, for now. Strictly for football reasons, and franchise cornerstone reasons, Brees deserved it like few others in the NFL today, maybe like few in the last decade.
He got it.
Sort of. Not all of what he reportedly wanted. In the NFL, nobody ever does. That's why this extension, almost surely the last one he'll ever get, was so important. That's also why, in the grand scheme of things, it feels like he didn't really win.
MORE: 25 highest-paid NFL players
However, he got $44.5 million guaranteed, and he's set through the 2017 season. He also got a no-trade clause, likely knowing that nothing else would keep the Saints from trying to wiggle out of being the ones paying him next year.
It's a mild surprise that they didn't try this year … but what appeared to give him leverage is that even while dramatically bringing back Sean Payton this offseason, they don't seem to have a post-Brees plan, at quarterback or overall.
It's "wring everything we can out of Drew while we can" time in New Orleans. It worked for Drew. Not long-term for even more money, as it was reported he had angled for. But the odds increased on three fronts — them parting on good terms one day, him finishing his career there, and him getting a big financial thank-you for everything.
Again, it seems simple. Except that Peyton Manning didn't get to be a Colt for life. Tom Brady has spent the last half of his career signing "team-friendly" deals that make the Patriots happy but don't give him what he deserves as an era-defining player. The less said about the way Steve McNair was ushered out of Tennessee 10 years ago, the better.
MORE: Week 1 NFL picks straight up | Against the spread
The NFL didn't become the Godzilla of American sports by being compassionate and grateful, even to players of that caliber, even to the stars at their marquee position.
Even this deal, by all accounts, is very friendly to the Saints, particularly this year, when his cap number was cut nearly in half. That number is what made the talk of Brees not finishing his career as a Saint fairly plausible the previous offseason.
The Saints still look like a .500 team, and then only if they catch all the breaks. That's not Brees' problem, of course, any more than it was his fault last year that the Saints had a nearly-historically bad defense and had to fire Rob Ryan in midseason, and that he played hurt and took a beating beyond what that offense normally allows him to.
MORE: Fantasy quarterback ratings
Brees still led the league in passing yardage at 4,870, right on pace with virtually every season he's been there. He's ahead of Tom Brady on the career yardage list and, statistically, has a better shot of breaking Manning's record … if he plays three more seasons.
If anybody deserves what this league rarely gives out, Brees does. If nothing else, if he gets tossed out of New Orleans before his time, he'll land on the proper-sized pile of money.


You know, you really never do stop learning. Just this morning I was marveling over how much I learned from a friend I stayed with last week. She never had any idea she was teaching me by her example. Truly, I had been in her home two or three days before I consciously recognized what I was seeing – ways in which she deals with her children that are far superior to ways I have always dealt with mine.
None of what I saw was new to me; I've read countless articles and books on parenting, so I've heard much of what people have to say. On the other hand, much of what I saw was new to me because I'd never actually lived with someone who consistently practiced such things. Reading about doing a thing didn't help nearly as much as seeing how someone I know does it successfully. I've been trying to practice these things myself since I've been home and I seem to be making progress. I'm delighted with the results.
This situation, more than any other I've ever been in, illustrates the axiom "More is caught than is taught." I've had various writers and workshop speakers try to teach me these methods over the years, but I never grasped how to put them into practice until I saw my friend in action.
This, too, is a lesson I will strive to remember. More IS caught than is taught. Everything we say and do sets examples for those around us. Our examples may be good or may be bad. Either way, it's a given that many will be emulated by not only our children, but by other adults. I have been reminded once again of the importance of having all of my examples be good ones.


Chalk up another "win" for employers in the latest legal battle involving wellness programs.
Can You Force Employees to Participate?
This growing trend toward high-stakes incentives to participate in group health plans has raised eyebrows at the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the enforcement agency behind the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The ADA prohibits covered employers from making health-related inquiries or requiring medical examinations of employees, unless participation is voluntary.
But what does "voluntary" mean? The EEOC has questioned wellness programs where the incentives to participate have been so great, or the penalties so severe, that employees claim to be coerced into participating. Employers, on the other hand, are simply doing everything they can think of to boost their participation rates and improve health outcomes.
Recently, these competing viewpoints again came to a head in EEOC v. Flambeau. In this case, a federal district court in Wisconsin ruled that an employer did not violate the ADA by requiring completion of an HRA and biometric testing in order to participate in the company's group health plan.
However, the court's opinion did not hinge on whether participation was voluntary. Rather, it relied on the ADA's safe-harbor exemption for bona fide benefit plans. Because the requirements of the wellness program were intimately tied to enrollment in the company's group health plan, the voluntary standard did not apply.
The court's analysis was understandably a blow to the EEOC, which argued that the "voluntariness" standard was designed specifically for wellness programs, and that such an interpretation in effect gutted the language of the act. The case has been appealed to a higher court.
While, for now at least, this is a win for employers, the EEOC will soon be releasing regulations on what it considers to be ADA-compliant wellness programs.
Stay tuned for further legal developments. And be sure to involve legal counsel if you are considering implementing an employee wellness program like the ones described here.

Just talking with someone today about the state of his mental health and how important he get that straight first before jumping back into sorting out his business direction.  He's been wishy washy on it for a little while and that just reads frustration.  And, people are noticing, which isn't helping his business efforts. His lack of confidence is showing and his neediness is making prospective collaborators feel that he isn't going to be a full-on partner.
You're spot on and we must all admit the occasions when the energy is low / unfit / unhealthy we do not perform to the top of our game.  Really enjoy your presentations and appreciate the information you provide online.
I totally agree! I recently was diagnosed with Lyme Disease and am having other issues stemming from Lyme's. These are affecting me on several levels, despite regular exercise and a healthy diet. Being in poor health affects mental clarity and ability to focus and get tasks completed. I am focusing most of efforts now on health to get back to functioning at 100%!
This is 100% True.  You have a great way of explaining and presenting your wisdom thanks for this!
You need to be on a high frequency  to  relate to others, they will feel you are happy ,  light, and understanding, and positive.. Being healthy is great always!!!!
Great perspective on the effects of health on business Siimon.  Not only does great health optimise one's energy, persistence and mental clarity, but healthy people also have a "glow" about them that makes them attractive, and this "sexual capital" may also translate into financial capital as this characteristic may have subconsciously enhance relationships between people, which is often good for business as well as other interactions!

Last Christmas when struggling with what to buy an almost 3 month old, a friend told me of the way they select presents for their children; something you want, something you need, something to wear, and something to read. I love this mantra, and it is what we are sticking to this year for Harper. I also love supporting small businesses, and with that in mind – here are some absolute gems I have found should you be struggling with gift ideas for your little ones.
Whilst not technically a gift for your little one, a framed cast of your little ones hands or feet makes a perfect keepsake. Baby Prints Cheltenham pay such beautiful attention to detail, and are run by an amazing mama.
Recently at a baby group, Harper discovered the joys of threading toys. Bella's Treasures do a beautiful safari themed set, along with lots of other gorgeous wooden toys.
I love a peg doll, and this superhero range from Wood 'n' Whimsy UK is right up my street!
Betty and Edith make the most beautiful dolls that will definitely become a family heirloom to be passed down for generations.
Teething babies and toddlers are no fun. These toys from Kito Baby UK make the perfect solution.
Snack pouches from Nom Nom Kids are one of my cupboard favourites! A great stocking filler.
The following are each pretty self explanatory: beautiful items from gorgeous small businesses.
No Matter What by Debi Gliori is an absolute favourite of mine. I bought it for me niece a number of years ago and vowed that should I be blessed with a baby of my own, we would definitely have this as a bedtime story.
The Day the Crayons Quit by Drew Daywalt is often one I see mentioned in recommendation forums; it is definitely a favourite with children and adults.
If You Give a Mouse a Cookie by Laura Joffe Numeroff is a popular bestseller following the events that may follow should you give a little passer by a sugary treat!
Finally, I must mention my own children's book – Oh Dylan: The Adventures of Dylan the Dog. The story follows the adventures of my very own rescue dog, Dylan, and the mischief he gets up to when he sneaks out of the house one day. Proceeds from sales go to charity too.

Review: Festival Opera delivers powerful,…
Review: Festival Opera delivers powerful, Holocaust-themed double bill
By Georgia Rowe | Correspondent, Bay Area News Group
Festival Opera has been hanging by a thread the last few seasons, but it roared back to life in a big way Saturday night. With an inspired double bill of Viktor Ullmann's "The Emperor of Atlantis" and Jake Heggie's "Another Sunrise," the Walnut Creek company under executive director Sara Nealy demonstrated that vibrant operatic productions are still very much within its reach.
However, that might not be the case much longer. The company has said it must raise $100,000 by the end of May or risk closing.
Themes of war and death, survival and memory came together with considerable impact in Saturday's chamber performances at Walnut Creek's Mt. Diablo Unitarian Universalist Church. Directed by Beth Greenberg and conducted by Matilda Hofman, with both operas performed in English, the program also was performed April 28 in honor of Holocaust Remembrance Day.
"The Emperor of Atlantis," subtitled "Or Death Abdicates," was the evening's featured work. Composed between 1943 and 1944 while Ullmann was imprisoned in the Terezin concentration camp, the hourlong opera — a "legend in four scenes" — is a relentlessly dark satire on military might. When the power-mad Emperor Overall declares universal war, Death goes on strike, only to return when the general populace realizes that eternal life is just as bad as endless war.
Ullmann's score is rich in lyrical passages, expansive arias, German cabaret-style orchestrations and a Bach-inspired chorale. The composer never saw it performed; the Nazis banned it and shipped Ullmann and his librettist, Peter Kien, to their deaths at Auschwitz.
Festival revived the score with a strong cast and a stripped-down staging set in the office of an unspecified bureaucracy. Eugene Brancoveanu's large, edgy baritone and brash physicality yielded an authoritative Emperor; bass-baritone Philip Skinner combined gravitas, sonorous vocalism, and a touching air of tenderness in the role of Death. Christopher Bengochea's Harlequin, Roberto Perlas Gomez's Loudspeaker, Rebecca Garcia's Maiden, and Valentina Osinski's Drummer Girl made characterful contributions.
"The Emperor of Atlantis" isn't often performed, in part because it's a hard work to pair on a double bill. But "Another Sunrise" made an ideal companion piece. Heggie and librettist Gene Scheer composed the work on commission for Seattle's Music of Remembrance, which gave its premiere in 2012; Saturday's opening marked its first Bay Area performance.
Running 20 minutes in length, "Another Sunrise" is a brief but potent episode depicting Holocaust survivor Krystyna Zywulska. A Polish Jew sent to Auschwitz as a political prisoner, Zywulska was ordered to confiscate and inventory the possessions of women arriving at the camp, only to witness them marched into the gas chambers.
The opera opens years after the war. Alone in her room, haunted by memories of Auschwitz, she struggles to come to terms with the horrors she witnessed — experiences for which "there are no words." It's a harrowing inward journey that examines what it means to be a survivor in a world that can scarcely imagine the enormity of war.
Heggie's elegant score, rich in melodic invention and rhythmic interest, provides a gorgeous framework for Scheer's libretto, and soprano Marie Plette made a forceful case for it. Plette's voice is large and lustrous throughout her range, and her ability to articulate the text with clarity and pinpoint dynamics was impressive. Throughout the performance, she expressed the character's anguish and uncertainty with devastating precision.
Director Greenberg staged both operas inventively, and Hofman drew unified performances from the 13-piece Festival Opera Chamber Orchestra. Taken together, these works serve as a poignant reminder that humanity can endure in the face of unspeakable tragedy. They're also a tribute to companies like Festival Opera, which continue to soldier on through tough economic times. These operas are hardly standard repertoire, but Saturday's performance was packed; the bold artistic spirit that produced the program just might prove the key to this company's future.

More Parnas documents shed light on Yovanovitch surveillance
The new materials draw Rep. Devin Nunes, the top Republican on the House Intelligence Committee, even further into the efforts undertaken by Giuliani and his associates to push out Yovanovitch in Ukraine and dig up dirt on the President's political rivals.


Decades ago, the Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping told the then visiting Indian Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi: "An Asian Century is only possible when India and China come together." A great visionary as Deng was, he must have sensed the enormous potential of the two giant Asian neighbors that together accounted for more than half the world's wealth some three centuries ago. Spanning over 2000 years, two neighbors had mushrooming economic and cultural ties. The famous Silk Road not only served as the key trade route between India and China, but also facilitated the spread of Buddhism to East Asia.
The two countries which jointly drafted "panchsheel" (five principles of non-alignment) and signed several treaties and exchanges in the 1950s turned enemies and strangers over an unfortunate border war in 1962. For several decades, India and China had very minimal exchanges at the political and diplomatic levels, let alone business and people to people contacts.
Things began softening towards the late 1980s as the two large developing economies felt the need to move forward. Rajiv Gandhi's path-breaking visit to China in 1988 helped to normalize the relationship. China took a step further when it announced that the Sino-Indian relation was the "important bilateral relationship of the century." The net outcome was that 2013 saw the high profile visits of then Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to Beijing and Chinese Premier Li Keqiang to Delhi in the same calendar year. However, the real momentum in the relationship came when Xi Jinping assumed the post of president and Narendra Modi took the mantle of premiership in India a year later. While President Xi took the early initiative and chose to break protocol to visit Modi's native city Ahmedabad, Prime Minister Narendra Modi paid a return trip to China by visiting Xi's native province of Shaanxi. These are unmistakable signs of a thaw in the India-China relationship.
It is true the boundary issue remains an open question and the line has yet to be delineated, but this has not stopped the political leadership of two countries cooperating on a range of issues. For instance, trade relations are at an all time high, closing to US$100 billion. While hundreds of Chinese companies are making a beeline to invest in the Made in India project, Indian ITES behemoths such as TCS and Infosys are investing in China.
The India-China relationship has taken a visible positive turn in recent years, with exchange of frequent visits by the top leadership, however there is a yawning gap at the civil society level.

Q: Opening/printing TIFF files in VB.NET Visual Studio 2005 I'm trying to use my existing application to open TIFF files for clients and staff in order to print or view the reports that we have scanned into our server. Unfortunately I have been unable to find a free, preferably open source library or wrapper for a library that will work in VB.NET running through Visual Studio 2005.
Is there any open source/free implementations of this that I could adopt in my application?

A: You can use the FreeImage library, downloadable from FreeImage.net.
To link it, add a reference to your project to the DLL contained in:
FreeImage/Wrapper/FreeImage.NET/CS/Bin

Once it is linked, import FreeImageAPI into your class.
then, declare your variables:
Dim pageCount As Integer
Dim imagePage As FreeImageAPI.FIBITMAP
Dim tiffImage As FreeImageAPI.FIMULTIBITMAP

tiffImage = FreeImageAPI.FreeImage.OpenMultiBitmapEx(ImagePath)
pageCount = FreeImage.GetPageCount(tiffImage)
imagePage = FreeImage.LockPage(tiffImage, 0)
imgMain.Image = FreeImage.GetBitmap(scaledImage)
imgMain.Show()

This will return the first page of a multi-page tiff file. To get each page afterwards,
FreeImage.UnlockPage(tiffImage, imagePage, false)
imagePage = FreeImage.LockPage(tiffImage, newPageNum)

"What about those who won't turn?" Hugh asked. He knew about one captured German spy in particular, Josef Jakobs, who had parachuted into Ramsey in Huntingdonshire in January. Jakobs had been picked up by the Home Guard, who found that he'd broken his ankle when he landed. When arrested, he was still wearing his flying suit and carrying forged papers, a radio, British pounds, and a German sausage.
Published in 2013, it's nice to see that the author has given a relatively accurate, albeit brief, portrayal of Josef Jakobs. The implication that Josef "won't be turned" isn't entirely accurate. On February 2, Josef accepted MI5's demands to work against the Germans, but his long hospitalization and the public nature of his capture meant they couldn't use him. But... it's fiction, as is the Stefan Krueger character. Overall readers give it 4.4 out of 5 stars on Amazon. Seems like it might be worth a read.

Q: Is there a way to make some features more important than others in a SVM classifier? I am using sklearn library to train the default SVM classifier on a bunch of data. My data has roughly 30 features. But I realize some of these features are "more important" than others. For example, I want the change in features 1, 2, and 3 to greatly impact the learning process, whereas, features 4 through 25 are useful information, but not as critical.
If I just multiply the numbers in features 1 to 3 by say, 100, it won't make much difference because I believe the algorithm normalizes the features anyway. So my question is, how can I give a weight to the features in an SVM classifier, so that some of them influence the learning and prediction more than others?
Here's the very crude version of the code I'm using:
clf = SVC(probability=True, gamma=0.1, C=1))
data = np.array([1, 4, 1, 6, 2, 5, 7, 2, ... ])
target = np.array([0, 1, 0, 0, 1, ... ])
clf.fit(data, target)

Court Dismisses Katanga Land Trespass Case Against Businessman…
City Hall Grade One Magistrate Court has dismissed a case in which businessman Darius Muteesa was accused of trespassing on the disputed land at Katanga Valley near Wandegeya in Kampala.
In October, 2021, businessman Darius Muteesa alias Muzungu was charged with offenses of criminal trespass.
However, City Hall Senior Grade One Magistrate Valerian Tumuhimbse dismissed the charges against Muteesa on grounds of territorial jurisdiction.
The magistrate also rubbished the state's plea to have the case file transferred to LDC court, reasoning that the court did not have powers to transfer the file.
He stated that the powers to transfer the case file to another Court lies in the High Court.
Prosecution had alleged that on September 21 this year, at Makerere Katanga Valley in Kampala, with intent to annoy or insult Makerere University, Muteesa and others among them Pastor Daniel Walugembe, encroached on land comprised on freehold, registered on volume 428, known as plot 45 and 47 North Kitante Road.
Prosecution further alleges that on September 28, Muteesa was found supervising construction works on plot 47 on North Kitante road.
It should be remembered that in 2015, the High Court ruled that Katanga Valley land was occupied by four family members who are now bonafide occupants and their rights are well protected under the laws governing ownership of land.
The four family members are Jonathan Yosamu Masembe, Bulasio Buyisi, George Kalimu and Samalie Nambogga.
They were battling with Makerere University and the Commissioner Land registration over cancellation of their Land titles and claimed ownership of the land by Makerere University.
However, Makerere University appealed against the decision at the High Court but the then judge Alphonse Owiny Dollo stayed the status quo.
Makerere University was unsatisfied with the rulling and proceeded to the Court of Appeal and the matter is pending hearing and determination.
Last month, High Court dismissed with costs an application in which Makerere University had sought to evict more than 50,000 bonafide occupants of Katanga land near Wandegeya.
The lawyers representing Makerere University had asked the court to issue restraining orders against the bonafide occupants on Katanga land to stop them from further developing their bibanjas.
The case was filed against City pastor Daniel Walugembe, Abdu Ssekajja and Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA).
Simon Kintu Zirintuusa, the registrar of the High Court Land Division ruled that the arguments advanced by Makerere University are doubtful since there is no new controversy between the university and the occupants led by Pr. Walugembe.
According to the Court, the arguments advanced by the university are speculative and that KCCA has since rejected building plans by the bonafide occupants citing a pending appeal case over the land.

M7 Appoints Justice Mugenyi To Replace Justice Kiryabwire At EA Court Of Appeal…
OPINION: Deployment Of UPDF In DRC Is Within President's Powers…
A traffic officer was on Sunday morning shot by Uganda People's Defence Forces (UPDF) soldier who was trying to block police from hauling his vehicle that was involved in an accident.
Police Constable (PC) Robert Mukebezi shot in the leg while seated at the passenger side of a breakdown truck that was towing a military Toyota Prado TX vehicle that had knocked a sign post of Kobil petrol station in Naalya, a Kampala suburb.
Narrating what happened, Mukebezi said that soldiers emerged from a double cabin and first shot the air. They asked Mukebezi where they were towing their car to. They told the soldiers that they were towing it to police.
One of the soldiers shot several bullets on the passenger side of the breakdown injuring Constable Mukebezi in the leg.
Witnesses said that the soldiers allegedly dragged the bleeding officer out of the vehicle and dumped him on the ground before ordering the driver of the breakdown to drive the wreckage to Mbuya police.
PC Mukebezi was later picked by fellow police officers and taken to Mulago National Referral Hospital in a critical condition having lost a lot of blood.
Deputy Spokesperson for Kampala Metropolitan police Luke Owoyesigyire confirmed the shooting of their officer by unidentified persons dressed in 'military fatigue'.
"The investigations are on going to establish the shooter," he added.
In a twist of events, the UPDF Acting Spokesperson Lt. Col. Ronald Kakurungu has released a statement on the matter saying that investigations are on going.
"The UPDF has learned about an incident in which one of our soldiers is suspected to have been shot and injured a traffic police officer in Ntinda following a single minor road traffic accident," the statement read.
"Preliminary information indicates that there was a misunderstanding between the traffic officer and soldier regarding recovery of a military vehicle that was involved in an accident," he said.
Mr. Kakurungu further indicated that in the process, the traffic officer was shot and injured in the leg. He was quickly rushed to Mulago Hospital.
He also noted that Mukebezi has stabilised and is now out of danger.
"The suspect is still on the run, but a search for him is underway and very useful clues leading to his arrest have already been obtained."
"UPDF and Uganda Police have also launched joint investigations into the unfortunate incident," Lt. Col. Kakurungu added.
President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has appointed Justice Monica Mugenyi to replace Justice Geofrey Kiryabwire at the

Created by Amplifon, Sounds of Street View is a very great experience, try the tour for some great examples.
Google Street View is the go-to application for exploring the world digitally, but it has a missing ingredient which we take for granted day in, day out. It's one of the most important human senses, which affects how we observe the world and how we interact, such as giving us an ultimate sense of direction or knowing when danger is upon us – Sound. Thousands of people every day experience the world digitally without this key sense, and it's our wish at Amplifon to fill this void.
Sounds of Street View is a digital explorative sound experiment by Amplifon which gives users a 3-dimensional sound experience in a Street View environment. Utilising the Web Audio API platform, sounds are designated as though they were ordinary Google Maps markers, but instead of an image and information being assigned to the marker, a sound is instead.
