For any manufacturing business, the best tools is the basic defining factor for its progress and success. If in case you have planned to develop what you are promoting, regardless of if that entails opening a second or a 3rd retailer in a new location or to diversify your array of products or services with the intention to reach a wider viewers, it's crucial to think about some cash movement management features that can make or break your corporation.
As mentioned above, cash stream management is a facet of paramount importance for the success of every business, and step one you should take in direction of managing it during business enlargement is to grasp the way it works in the first place.
He identified that while inventory choices are an excellent method of underlining ambitious progress plans, they'll put nightmarish stress on small enterprise owners who place higher emphasis on a relaxed enterprise setting, bettering present services or products, travel, and/or time with household.

The Shroud of Turin is a burial shroud (a linen cloth woven in a 3-over 1 herringbone pattern) measuring 14 ft. 3 inches in length by 3 ft. 7 inches in width. It apparently covered a man who suffered the wounds of crucifixion in a way very similar to Jesus of Nazareth.
Notice the position of the blood stains—the bold brown color—in relation to the image of the body—the fainter sepia hue.
The cloth has a certifiable history from 1349 when it surfaced in Lirey, France in the hands of a French nobleman – Geoffrey de Charny. It also has a somewhat sketchy traceable history from Jerusalem to Lirey, France – through Edessa, Turkey and Constantinople.

Greg David on New York
A key economist changes his tune on Trump
Trump was in Indiana on Thursday. The president-elect boasted of saving more than 1,000 jobs in exchange for $7 million in tax breaks negotiated by the vice president-elect.
Before the election, the high-profile Moody's economist Mark Zandi said the election of Donald Trump would be disastrous for the economy. About 3.5 million Americans would lose their jobs, unemployment would jump back up to 7%, home prices would fall and the stock market would plummet, he predicted.
He certainly convinced his own family. He was in London on election night, he told the Urban Land Institute's New York chapter Thursday, and he was awakened at 5 a.m. by his daughter sobbing uncontrollably that "he is going to win."
Today, Zandi has a different take on the consequences of a President Trump. The Republican is inheriting an economy that is so strong—nearing full employment, with the prospect of much higher wage growth this year and next—that his election will have few near-term consequences.
In fact, Trump was so unprepared to win that it will take months for his new team to settle in and begin to focus on how to implement all those promises the candidate made during the campaign. It was clear that Zandi has been in close contact with the economic advisers for Trump and knows what he's talking about.
The same insight applies to the New York City economy, which is on track to add about 80,000 jobs this year and come close to that next year, according to local economists I talked to this week. It will be some time before Trump's policies actually affect the economy or the budgets of the city or state.
Eventually, however, the consequences will be very significant. Americans voted for change, Zandi noted, and they are going to get it, because the Republicans will control both the Congress and the presidency—and especially because the Democrats previously weakened the minority party's ability to block actions in the Senate via filibuster.
So, consider the next few months the interregnum.

History lessons from the museum
By Susan Bee Wednesday 6 September 2017
Sydney Living Museums has launched an inspiring new professional development program for primary school teachers.
On Friday 21 April 2017, a group of primary school teachers from across NSW attended Teaching Primary History through Objects at The Mint. This was the inaugural session in a professional development program created by the SLM Learning Team, accredited by the NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA) and launched in 2017. The teachers who attended this session gained understanding and experience of the value of object-based learning strategies in teaching history, plus practical ways to incorporate these into existing lessons and future lesson planning. Feedback from all participants was enthusiastically positive and confirmed the immediate relevance of the session to classroom practice.
History within the Australian curriculum
Traditionally, NSW schoolchildren have been presented with predigested historical facts and dates. More recently, history and geography were bundled together within Human Society and its Environment (HSIE). Now the new curriculum requires primary teachers to address history as a standalone discipline with its own methods and procedures. The emphasis is on enabling students to build their own evidence-based understanding of the past.
This has demanded a major shift in teaching practice which is proving especially challenging for those teachers who haven't themselves studied history as a discipline. It was to help teachers meet this challenge that SLM's Learning Team developed the program Teaching History in the Primary Classroom – in close consultation with historian and communicator Kate Cameron, whose input was funded by the Ruth Pope Bequest. The four complementary sessions (relating to objects, place, role-play and museums) can be attended either independently or as a series.
Bringing the past to life
As the teachers who attended the session experienced for themselves, object-based learning brings the past to life. Whether it's feeling the softness of a possum skin, hefting a mogo (stone axe), working a pump to fill a bucket, laundering with a washboard, feeling the weight of leg-irons or using a quill pen to write their name on a ticket of leave, every SLM education program provides students with multiple opportunities to handle, examine, use and discuss a variety of objects, with wide-ranging benefits:
Objects can be used to stimulate curiosity, deepen understandings, improve retention of knowledge, unlock the imagination, promote social learning and evoke memories ... 'Hands-on History' … is inclusive of the needs of diverse groups of learners and can deliver improved learning outcomes regardless of the learner's gender, socio-economic status, literacy level and preferred learning style.1
The teachers learned how to use a historical inquiry approach to integrate object-based learning with the teaching of historical skills and concepts. Curator Dr Fiona Starr exhibited a rarely seen convict shirt from the Hyde Park Barracks Museum and discussed how to build a narrative from objects, and Dr Matthew Stephens, Research Librarian at the Caroline Simpson Library & Research Collection, demonstrated ways to research objects and their contexts online.
Upcoming courses focus on Teaching Primary History through Role-play (Tuesday 19 September) and Teaching Primary History through Museums (Wednesday 29 November). The program will be repeated annually.

How to keep an 11 year-old boy from getting bored in Italy: Plan the Unusual, Freaky, Fun and Totally Alien for him.
Of course, I want this voyage to change Lucas' outlook on life and have a long-term effect on who he becomes as a man. When I went to live (for just under a year) in France in the Seventies, it changed my whole outlook on life, politics, food, and culture. I learned some of a new language. I saturated myself with French folklorique musique and put up with the likes of Johnnie Hallyday "rock n roll".
In Italy, I want Lucas to see the miracles of The David and the Sistine Chapel, but I don't want to bore him with waits on extremely long lines and hall after hall of statue after dusty statue. I mean, how much marble can a young boy take (that is, unless they are the colorful, rolling kind)?
Of course, I will try to give him what he wants, too. One of his "must-see" things in Italy is the Leaning Tower of Pisa, so we will take him there. In the same region is Vinci with its great Da Vinci Museum--a great fun and education place to take kids. And of course, in Rome the Colosseum with its stories of Gladiators fighting to their bloody death appeals to most kids.
But I want him to notice all the small things too... how we are the same but oh-so-different from people living in another culture: Clothes hanging on the balconies to dry, tiny grocery stores selling really fresh and flavorful fruit and strange looking veggies, lemons as big as grapefruits, weird 3-wheeled cars, roads so curvy and twisty that you have to hold your breath around each hairpin, "old" buildings not just 200 years old (as we have here in Pennsylvania) but over 2000 years old, and after dinner a stroll (passagiata) instead of watching an overly long episode of America's Got Talent.... and the language. I want him to listen and speak in Italian. We have already been playing our Pimsleur Italian CDs in the car every time we go someplace. It's become a game to see who can remember the lessons and who has the best pronunciation. And of course, he's going to experience different food--he's already got a pretty broad palate for an 11-year old.
I've also loaded my Google Earth pin maps with lots of other interesting and fun options: Italian go-karting (a real sport there), a cool amusement park (for a fun break), a huge cavern (Grotte di Castellana near Bari), thousands of real dinosaur footprints (Puglia), a prehistoric "caveman" (Altamura Man), bread that can last for a month (Pane Altamura), a hot air balloon ride over Tuscany, the "Manhattan Towers" of San Gimignano, a Ghost Town or two, a volcano, a night sleeping in an Oz-like house called a Trullo (near Alberobello), huge radio telescopes, an abandoned missile base, sea grottoes, a boat ride below the cliffs of Amalfi (I'll let him drive the boat), a tremendous, ancient sinkhole (he became a sinkhole expert after last year's science project), and some other surprises that neither Lucas or Lisa know about. Maybe we won't get to all of them, but depending on the mood and the weather, there are lots of things that I hope will keep him from getting bored, and knowing what's in the area we are driving through ahead of time will help me make up some pretty cool days in Italy for Lucas...
And if all this fails, there's gelati... pizza, more gelati... then more pizza... then gelati...

Princess Gisela was born without color. Albino. To add to this curse, her betrothal to Prince Jerrik of Kronga ends in his death and starts a ten-year war her father is determined to win at all costs. Now the Krongon war general, Bloodless Kristoff, seeks the hearts of the entire royal family, especially Gisela's.
Desperate, her father agrees to another alliance that involves Gisela marrying an old brute of a king, even if it means bringing her out of hiding to do it. Unwilling to be the sacrificial lamb, Gisela goes on the run, throwing her into a fight for her life, a battle between three kingdoms, and the right to be truly loved.
Can the girl who started the war find a way to end it?


Having been teaching entrepreneurship in the Secret Entourage Academy for years now, and having written Third Circle Theory, a best-selling book on how entrepreneurs are made, I often get asked by many new entrepreneurs if there are any negative side effects.
Remember that entrepreneurship as I define it is not related to business, but rather someone's ability to innovate and create value for others. While many call themselves 'entrepreneurs' online and consider themselves very successful, using money as a measure of success, I do not make such a correlation. While there is a lot of glamour in succeeding as an entrepreneur, it is also a long journey filled with ups and downs and certainly comes with a series of side effects you must be prepared for.
Entrepreneurs like to look into everything, and often forget to enjoy the simpler aspects of life. While many simply become consumers, entrepreneurs seem to not want to conform and, as a result, often complicate everything for themselves.
Always looking for a loophole can get tiring on yourself and those around you. It becomes hard to conform to the daily routines you once enjoyed when you look at everything from a different perspective — one that involves someone else selling you on something.
Being careful to not fall victim to thinking everything is a scam simply because it is tailored to making you do something is very important and a side effect that must be avoided.
Most entrepreneurs always strive to improve everything, including themselves, and as a result always become faced with a 'What if'. This is ultimately a gauge of the possibilities ahead of them.
While seeking to improve you is a good thing, anything in excess can turn bad very quickly. There is always a 'What if' and that can often blur the fine line between belief and dreaming, which are two very different things.
Not only does finding solutions to just about every problem become a common trait, but not giving up till you do often follows it. This is one of those better side effects, as many will tell you that true entrepreneurs don't need resources to be resourceful.
This can, however, make it difficult to stay focused when you are not choosing your battles properly and decide to become involved in many things at once, which will keep you from succeeding. The best way to avoid this is to simply choose your battles carefully.
Rejection and failure are major components of any entrepreneur's life and are part of the idea of being an entrepreneur. You are, after all, traveling where others haven't gone before on an unknown path full of obstacles and surprises. Through that journey you learn to grow thick skin and you learn to not allow others to dictate what you can or can't do. This is the best side effects of being an entrepreneur.
Everyone who has been friends with an entrepreneur will tell you that their belief in themselves, their ideas, and their possibilities is contagious; The energy they emit can rub off on friends and family very well. Making sure you do not lead others on is very important, but is something many entrepreneurs do early on in their journey by not understanding the consequences of their promises.
You are a constant hub of ideas and thoughts, and are often unable to stop thinking about your project or venture, which almost makes you obsessive in some regard. This can seriously impact your relationships, your personal life, and those around you. Learning to balance is key, but often very difficult for true pioneers.
These are the six side effects every entrepreneur is faced with. Regardless whether they are good or bad, they are the reality that many of us have to live with. This is only a small fraction of the truth behind the mask that entrepreneurs must wear. Never showing weakness, and always being ready to showcase their enthusiasm, what entrepreneurs show on the outside can, at times, be far from what's on the inside.

Home Health News 29 new coronavirus cases reported in Maine – Bangor Daily News
29 new coronavirus cases reported in Maine – Bangor Daily News
Twenty-nine new coronavirus cases have been reported in Maine, health officials said Sunday.
Sunday's report brings the total number of coronavirus cases in Maine to 5,939. Of those, 5,309 have been confirmed positive, while 630 were classified as "probable cases," according to the Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention.
The agency revised Saturday's cumulative total to 5,910, down from 5,913, meaning there was an increase of 29 cases today over Saturday's report, state data show. As the Maine CDC continues to investigate previously reported cases, some are determined to have not been the coronavirus, or coronavirus cases not involving Mainers. Those are removed from the state's cumulative total.
New cases were reported in Penobscot (2), Somerset (1), Waldo (10), Kennebec (2), Lincoln (1), Androscoggin (2), Cumberland (5) and York (6) counties.
The statewide death toll stands at 146. Nearly all deaths have been in Mainers over age 60.
Eleven people were hospitalized with COVID-19 as of Friday afternoon, with five of those people in critical care. One person was on a ventilator. So far, 468 Mainers have been hospitalized at some point with COVID-19, the illness caused by the coronavirus.
Meanwhile, 33 more people have recovered from the coronavirus, bringing total recoveries to 5,145. That means there are 648 active confirmed and "probable" cases in the state, which is down from 655 on Saturday.
A majority of the cases — 3,465 — have been in Mainers under age 50, while more cases have been reported in women than men, according to the Maine CDC.
As of Friday, there have been 536,130 negative test results out of 542,372 overall. About 1.3 percent of all tests have come back positive, the most recently available Maine CDC data show.
The coronavirus has hit hardest in Cumberland County, where 2,425 cases have been reported and where the bulk of virus deaths — 70 — have been concentrated. It is one of four counties — the others are Androscoggin, Penobscot and York, with 833, 273 and 1,317 cases, respectively — where "community transmission" has been confirmed, according to the Maine CDC.
There are two criteria for establishing community transmission: at least 10 confirmed cases and that at least 25 percent of those are not connected to either known cases or travel. That second condition has not yet been "satisfied" in other counties.
Other cases have been reported in Aroostook (56), Franklin (73), Hancock (56), Kennebec (289), Knox (59), Lincoln (53), Oxford (157), Piscataquis (10), Sagadahoc (77), Somerset (127), Waldo (112) and Washington (20) counties. The locations of two cases remains unknown.
As of Sunday morning, the coronavirus had sickened 8,107,648 people in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands and the U.S. Virgin Islands, as well as caused 219,311 deaths, according to Johns Hopkins University of Medicine.

Apple today announced an update to its MacBook Air sub-notebook. The problem is that it isn't powerful enough for pro users.
Apple today announced an update to its MacBook Air sub-notebook which, as I previously noted, hadn't been updated in almost 500 days — an eternity for Apple hardware. The problem is that it isn't powerful enough for professional users.
One thing that I feared about the new MacBook Air rumors was that it would be ship with a Core 2 Duo processor -- a processor (circa Q3 2008) that is bigger, slower and hotter than the current generation Core i3-530.
My nightmare came true today.
Apple indeed shipped two new MacBook Airs (13.3 and a new 11.6-inch model) with a two-year-old Core 2 Duo processor, instead of the more modern Intel i3 processor that just about every other PC OEM ships in its notebooks.
The new MacBook Air simply isn't powerful enough to be used as a primary computer for professional users. The Core 2 Duo processor, 2GB of RAM, and 64GB SSD won't adequately run applications with large resource requirements like VMWare, Final Cut Pro or Photoshop. Luckily, the RAM can be bumped to 4GB (+$100) and the SSD can be bumped to 128GB (+$200) -- which helps -- but even then the new MBA won't be useable as a primary computer for power users.
Interestingly, Apple didn't include an onboard 3G chipset, meaning that road warriors will have to use either WiFi or connect an external mobile broadband device to get Internet access on the road.
I'm not sure exactly why Apple chose a older chip instead of the newer Core i3 (the keynote's only been over for 30 minutes), but I'm sure that there's got to be a reason.
The cynical side of me thinks that it's planned obsolescence at its finest. In other words, Apple fully plans to upgrade the Air to the Core i3, but they want to sell a bunch of Core 2 Duos first, then make everyone buy it again, when it ships with the i3 -- say, next summer. Maybe Apple had a bunch of old C2D chips sitting in a warehouse somewhere that they needed to use up?
Apple did the same exact thing with the iPad, releasing the WiFi version first, then the 3G version shortly after. A good case can be made that Apple did the same thing with the new Mac mini and MacBook (non-pro) which both still ship with the Core 2 Duo.
What's your take on why Apple snubbed the Core i3 in the new MacBook Air?

Jones Apparel Goes Shoe Shopping
March 3, 1999 / 12:28 PM / AP
Shares of Jones Apparel Group Inc. were lower in trading Wednesday on news that it will buy Nine West Group, a leading footwear and accessories maker that has been struggling with its profits.
Jones (JNY) announced late Tuesday that it would purchase Nine West (NIN) for $885 million in stock and cash and assume more than $500 million in debt.
There had been rumors on Wall Street over the last month that a Nine West-Jones deal was likely. Both cater to the middle-market consumer, especially professional women looking for classy, yet affordable merchandise for both work and play.
Jones was down 3 to 22 15/16 in trading early Wednesday afternoon. Nine West was up 7/16 to 23 1/4.
Jones, which is best known for its Jones New York, Saville and Evan-Picone labels, has been on a buying spree in the past year to build itself into a multibrand conglomerate.
Its recent purchases include Sun Apparel, which makes Ralph Lauren's Polo jeans. It also owns the license for Lauren by Ralph Lauren, a top-selling mid-priced women's label at department stores.
Just last month, it acquired the trademark for designer Todd Oldham, which it plans to develop into a fashion brand for the teen market.
"Nine West meets all of our acquisition criteria," said Sidney Kimmel, chairman of Jones in a statement Tuesday night. "The company has many strong brands, such as Nine West, Easy Spirit and Enzo Angiolini; excellent product quality and consistency; and leading market positioning."
At the same time that Jones is expanding, Nine West has been trying to get its business back in order. While Nine West estimates it sells 20 percent of all women's shoes sold in the United States, the company still has struggled to reduce costs and improve its profitability.
Nine West sells its shoes and accessories, like purses, socks and sunglasses, through department stores, independent shoes stores and more than 1,500 retail stores, which it operates.
Since November, the White Plains, N.Y.-based company has eliminated about 6 percent of its total work force of 13,000.
In addition, Nine West was named earlier this year in a price-fixing lawsuit, which claimed the company and several large department store chains kept shoe prices artificially high for years on 12 brands of women's shoes.
The deal is expected to be completed by the end of June. Under the buyout agreement, Jones will exchange .5011 of a share of its stock and $13 in cash for each Nine West Group share.
Once the deal is complete, Nine West chairman Jerome Fisher and chief executive Vincent Camuto will be replaced at the helm of the company by Mark Schwartz, a former Merrill Lynch investment banker who was responsible for the initial public offerings of both Jones and Nine West.
Schwartz will leave his current position as president of the leverage buyout firm Palladin Capital Group, which acted as the financial advisor on tis deal for Jones. Fisher will remain a consultant with Nine West, while Camuto will be involved with design and merchandising.

Silicon Valley's Peter Thiel receives…

PUBLISHED: July 22, 2016 at 12:00 a.m. | UPDATED: September 11, 2018 at 12:00 a.m.
CLEVELAND >> Silicon Valley billionaire Peter Thiel received a standing ovation at the Republican National Convention on Thursday night when he said he was proud to be gay, proud to be Republican and "most of all" proud to be an American.
The libertarian-leaning cofounder of PayPal and venture capitalist made his convention debut just days after the Republican Party adopted one of the most anti-gay platforms in history. So Thiel was taking a calculated risk in making his sexuality an issue in his speech. Some gay delegates said they were afraid he'd be booed.
But Thiel received a warm reception in the convention hall, even after he essentially chided the platform committee for debating which bathrooms transgender people should use. He called the debate "a distraction from our real problems."
"Who cares?" he said of the bathroom issue.
He said he doesn't "pretend to agree" with every plank in the party's platform, "but fake culture wars only distract us from our economic decline. And nobody in this race is being honest about it except Donald Trump."
DELEGATION CHEERS
The California delegation let out a cheer when Thiel said he was gay and proud, then broke into a series of "U.S.A! U.S.A!" chants.
Makan Delrahim, a delegate from Los Angeles, said the reception to Thiel's speech showed that the GOP was a tolerant party.
"I have a hell of a lot more respect for entrepreneurs than corporate CEOs," Delrahim said of Thiel. "They actually create jobs."
Hillary Clinton's campaign quickly issued a statement on Thiel's speech: "Unfortunately, he is speaking in support of a candidate that has run an anti-LGBT campaign and will undoubtedly continue that trend if he takes office."
Thiel, 48, has always been known for his contrarian political views. But he still raised plenty of eyebrows in Silicon Valley when he signed up to be one of three Trump delegates from San Francisco.
He wasn't the first openly gay person to speak at a GOP convention, but he was the first to acknowledge it from the stage during a prime time address.
Thiel is an early investor in Facebook and a member of company's board of directors and also recently bankrolled Hulk Hogan's lawsuit against the online gossip site Gawker, which several years ago outed Thiel as gay.
In his speech, he said he supported Trump because he's a builder, not a politician. Although the economy looks strong in Silicon Valley, he said, "Silicon Valley is a small place. Drive out to Sacramento, or even just across the bridge to Oakland, and you won't see the same prosperity. That's just how small it is. Across the country, wages are flat."
He said the government is "broken" under Democratic leadership.
"Our nuclear bases still use floppy disks. Our newest fighter jets can't even fly in the rain. And it would be kind to say the government's software works poorly, because much of the time it doesn't even work at all," he said.
"This is a staggering decline for a country that completed the Manhattan Project. We don't accept such incompetence in Silicon Valley, and we must not accept it from our government."
ORIGINALLY BACKED FIORINA
Thiel originally pumped $2 million into former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina's SuperPAC, but later switched to Trump in a move that stunned other valley leaders turned off by the Republican nominee's protectionist policies and jabs at Apple's Tim Cook, Amazon's Jeff Bezos and Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg.
Ken Yale, a GOP delegate from Dublin, said Thiel's appearance in Cleveland shows that Trump's reach extends beyond his white working class base.
"I know a lot of Republicans in Silicon Valley," said Yale, a health care industry executive. "The fact that Peter is a libertarian reflects to me that there are a lot of very committed Trump people from all walks of life."
Juan Hernandez, an alternate delegate from Santa Clara, said the fact that Thiel was invited to speak is "one of the best things that could be happening right now for the Republican Party. And it shows that Trump is inclusive of the LGBT community and respects personal liberty and freedom."
Thiel also offers Trump a chance to appeal to young tech workers who are more attracted to Trump as a disruptive force than they are to Clinton, said Bruce Cain, who directs Stanford University's Bill Lane Center for the American West.
"This is a play for young people who are dissatisfied with politics and idealize Silicon Valley disrupters," Cain said.
But even though Thiel could sway some techies to vote for Trump, he risks alienating many associates who oppose Trump's protectionist trade proposals and abhor the GOP's stand on social issues.
"By any logical calculation," Cain said, "it's not a smart move on his part."

This CEO Claims Shiba Inu (SHIB) Is Pyramid Scheme
Steven Cooper, Bigger Entertainment's CEO, has accused Shiba Inu (SHIB) of being pyramid scheme
According to Steven Cooper, Bigger Entertainment's CEO, Shiba Inu (SHIB), one of the popular meme tokens, is actually a pyramid scheme.
In his thread, he claimed that due to the lack of burnt tokens or any real achievements by the Shiba Inu team, it is obvious that the blockchain project is just used as a cheap token to encourage people to invest in questionable spinoffs like BONE, a token within the Shiba Inu ecosystem.
Despite being heavily involved with SHIB at some point previously, Cooper abandoned the project last year. He stopped burning SHIB tokens while also deleting every single mention of the meme cryptocurrency from his social media profile.
Cooper now claims that he has no desire to be involved in Shiba Inu again, after a falling out with its developers.
"What was happening behind the scenes was insane and destroyed many people trying to help, including myself and my company," he wrote on Twitter.
The executive also alleges that there was a planned smear campaign behind the scenes. "It was a make-or-break point for us to salvage any reputation left. The team behind the scenes considered us a threat and blatantly told us they would do smear campaigns against us and label us 'scammers' across the internet," he claimed.
Jim Cramer Pours Cold Water on Recent Bitcoin (BTC) Gains
Cooper's recent scathing comments come amid controversy surrounding Shiba Inu's developer community. As reported by U.Today, lead developer Shytoshi Kusama faced a backlash within the community after he purged "breeds," community members that were supposed to assist in the development of the token. Some accused Kusama of reducing the project's decentralization level, with SHIB Defense Team co-lead Trophias being particularly critical of the lead developer. However, a recent poll indicates that most community members want Kusama to remain at the helm of the project.

Neighborhoods of GR: WestSide evolution continues
By Paul Soltysiak | Thursday, April 05, 2018
Welcome to Neighborhoods of GR, an informal series for Grand Rapidians, its visitors, and those considering calling the river city home. Each article in the series will cover a particular GR neighborhood, will be covered by a resident writer, and will showcase the charm, the history, and diversity of our fair city. Explore the Westside from the perspective of Paul Soltysiak, local professional and Stockbridge Business Association board member.
Ken Bair is the store manager of the new Bridge Street Market. Paul Soltysiak
According to local professional Paul Soltysiak, The WestSide is diverse with lots of history. It has a wonderful flavor that is tough to define unless one lives, works, or plays here often. It needs to be experienced to be understood. Explore the Westside from Soltysiak's perspective in this installment of Neighborhoods of GR.
As I write this story, it's just been announced that Consumers Energy is building a new $20 million headquarters in the heart of the WestSide. This will be a good fit with the new, experimental solar power grid going up in the same area. It's a challenge to keep up with all the changes and movement happening here.
It is often said, "WestSide, Best Side!" To be honest, as a WestSide native, I personally don't like this slogan. It somehow seems a bit arrogant. Westsiders possess many characteristics, and I don't believe arrogance is one of them. I think we tend to be more "blue collar": hard-working, fun-loving, and accepting. But certainly not arrogant.
While some are concerned with pushing out long-time residents, and with the dreaded "g-word" (gentrification), others are excited with the renaissance of the area and all of the positive development. The WestSide is diverse (as illustrated by the wonderful mural at Leonard and Turner, by George Eberhardt), with lots of history. It has a wonderful flavor that is tough to define unless one lives, works, or plays here often. It needs to be experienced to be understood.
There are plenty of good people working hard to ensure that residents can stay and thrive. Jim Davis, new director of the WestSide Collaborative (a consortium of WestSide non-profits) is one of them. When discussing how people who are new to the area can blend with long-time residents, he says, "We're all in it with various levels of tenure and effort but chasing the same goals." In addition,
"...I see mutual benefit and reinforcement. The generational 'teams' help one another. One learns new tricks. One learns best practices. Both inspire the other from burning out or giving up on the challenging community work. The new blood reinvigorates the long-timers."
I think I first came to realize how the WestSide was changing back in 2013, when Stocking School reopened after it was shuttered in 2010. How often does that happen? A school shut down, only to reopen a few years later? That impressed me, and I started paying close attention to things. I was born and raised here—then lived on the other side of the river for many years—and moved back here a few years ago, where I now live and work. I serve on the board of the Stockbridge Business Association, and try to learn as much as I can about the new progress, as well as the history of the area.
I took some time to investigate some of the long-standing businesses on the WestSide, and have been amazed. For example, Bridge Street Electric on Bridge near Stocking has been in business since 1929, and has some wonderful products and services. Not only do they sell new lights, fixtures, etc., but they can also restore just about any light—often with original parts. I spoke with owners Deb and Jim Dagley and they enthusiastically showed me around. I had no idea of the scope of their business, which is a unique resource right here on the WestSide. Their customers come from all over, and they're excited about the potential foot traffic that they hope will occur once the Bridge Street Market is open, and as other businesses develop in the neighborhood.
Another business which has been a fixture here is Mieras Family Shoes on Leonard near Alpine. Fifth generation family member Tyler Joyce says, "My great-great grandfather purchased a tiny shoe repair at 841 Leonard in 1922, and it's been in the same location and owned by the same family ever since. Currently we have third, fourth, and fifth generations involved in the business daily."
When asked about all the changes in the neighborhood, he commented, "The new developments have been incredible. The restaurants and housing going in around here is drawing more people to the area. We already have a very large and loyal customer base and it seems to grow every day. The WestSide is great at supporting local stores."
Regarding the future, Joyce says, "You never really know what the future will hold, but with both the economy and developments growing around the WestSide, we have been, and should continue to be, as busy as ever and growing. We love serving the WestSide and all those that drive here to shop at our store. We appreciate every customer. We've been here for 95 years and we feel it's only the beginning!"
Ken BairKen Bair is the store manager of the new Bridge Street Market. Originally from Southern California, Bair was hired due to his 27 years of experience working with grocery stores. He's been digging in and getting to know the area and the residents, and is excited to provide a new shopping experience to people who live and work here. While owned by Meijer, Bair has the flexibility to select his own merchandise and quickly make decisions to accommodate customer requests. He's committed to offering a wide array of local products and a good mix of high-end craft items, as well as very value-oriented items that will be affordable for those who shop there.
Marco Bulnes, owner of Mayan Buzz.One of the new businesses that will be part of the Bridge Street Market is Mayan Buzz Cafe's second location. They beat out some stiff competition from several coffee shops and franchises, and were chosen to anchor the Market. They're a local, woman and minority-owned business. Buzz co-owner Marco Bulnes, originally from Honduras, is thrilled to be a part of it all. He compares the WestSide to himself when he says, "Passion. Purpose. Resilience. The WestSide possesses all of these, and the Bridge Street Market is a testament to it all. Being a partner in this venture is a dream come true," says Bulnes.
I also spoke with Meagan Freriks, co-owner of One Bourbon, one of the new restaurants on Bridge Street. Freriks articulated her thoughts as such. "When we were originally looking for a location, we wanted a space that suited our blue collar roots. All of us come from hard-working families and we wanted a restaurant vibe that was family oriented, comfortable, and friendly. We were steering clear of anything pretentious or fancy as that isn't the vibe we were hoping to bring. The WestSide is filled with wonderful, hard working, blue collar folks just like us. We want to provide that small town, local hangout for the blue collar people in our area."
She continued, "What we've observed over the last year is that yes, we are bringing in some WestSide visitors, but we also have a large amount of Grand Rapids citizens coming over to the WestSide for the first time in a long while. We hear a lot of 'I can't believe how much this has changed!' or 'The WestSide is booming!' We are thrilled to be a part of the growth here and are so excited for the population explosion that is imminent. That said, most of the construction projects and/or planned developments seem to be keeping the blue collar mindset in mind. There is a lot of talk about other small town cafes, restaurants, salons, retail, etc. that are hoping to move in, and from what we can tell the housing complexes do not seem to be as high-priced as those downtown or in Eastown."
She adds, "The vibe over here is exciting. Everyone is aware of the upcoming traffic and new developments, and we are all anxiously awaiting their arrivals." However, "It is not enough to have an explosion of growth; we want our local populous on board with us, helping to make the WestSide the best place to be in Grand Rapids."
It's clear that there's lots of excitement going on—with some cautious optimism. The blending of old and new—people of all types—all adding flavor to what we call home… WestSide!

Biographical Note:
John Alsop King was born on January 3, 1788, in New York City to Rufus and Mary Alsop King. He had four brothers: James (U.S. Congressional Representative from New Jersey), Charles (ninth president of Columbia University), Edward, and Frederic. King attended school in Europe, spending time in Paris and at the Harrow School in London, where his family resided after his father was appointed the U.S. ambassador to Great Britain.
After graduating from Harrow, King returned to New York City. He entered into law school and was later admitted to the bar and set up practice in New York City. King married Mary Ray on January 3, 1810, in New York City. They had seven children who survived childhood: Mary, Charles, Elizabeth, John, Caroline, Richard, and Cornelia. Another daughter, Ellen, died in 1827 at the age of two.
During the War of 1812 King served as a lieutenant of cavalry. After the war, he resumed his law practice, and also decided to venture into politics. Elected as a member of the New York State Assembly in 1819, he was re-elected each year until 1823, when he was elected to the State Senate. In 1825 he left state government to serve as secretary of the U.S. legation in London. King again was elected to the New York State Assembly in 1832, 1838, and 1840. In 1848, King was elected as the U.S. Representative from New York State to the Thirty-First Congress (1849-1851), and there opposed all compromise measures relative to slavery.
King had been a member of the Whig Party for much of his political career, but after its demise, he joined the newly formed Republican Party in 1854. He quickly became an active member of the party and in 1856 was selected as a delegate to the Republican National Convention. Later the same year King became the Republican candidate for governor of New York and won the election, serving from 1857 to 1859 as twentieth Governor of New York State. During his term he was noted for making improvements to the state education system and enlargement of the Erie Canal.
King decided not to run for reelection in 1858, choosing instead to work on his farm in Jamaica, (Queens County, N.Y.), and devote time to agricultural advancement. He was actively involved in organizations like the United States Society of Pomology and the United States Agricultural Society. Despite his dedication to agricultural efforts, King did not entirely shy away from politics during this time; in 1861 he participated in a peace convention, the aim which was to prevent the outbreak of the Civil War. He died on July 7, 1867, and was buried in the Grace Church Cemetery in Jamaica, New York.
Scope and Content Note:
This collection consists chiefly of letters written by John Alsop King relative to his long and varied career in state and federal politics and government. A number of these letters concern bills and other actions of the state legislature, matters of taxation and finance, and military affairs.
The letters are mainly addressed to colleagues and other officials in government and politics, some of whom were prominent during the mid-nineteenth century, including Edwin D. Morgan (Governor of New York State and U.S. Senator), Thomas Aspinwall (Consul of the United States to England), Erastus Corning (Mayor of Albany, New York), Assemblyman Luther Bradish (future speaker of the Assembly and lieutenant governor of New York), Horatio Seymour (Governor of New York State, and Democrat Party nominee for U.S, Presidency, 1868), and Sanford E. Church (lieutenant governor under Seymour and a chief judge of the New York State Court of Appeals).
In his note to W.W. Gorham, King inquires about purchasing a farm he saw being advertised in Country Gentlemen, a popular agricultural magazine founded in 1831 by Luther Tucker and published in Albany, NY. This is one of the few instances in which King's interest in agriculture is made apparent.
This collection also includes four letters most likely written by John Alsop King, Jr. (1817-1900). Three of those letters are addressed to Samuel B. Ruggles (a state assemblyman and Erie Canal commissioner) while the other is addressed to an L.W. Nash.
Related Collections:
There also a number of letters of John A. King in the papers of Edwin D. Morgan (SC11818), which are held by this repository.

localhost:~ naveenkumar$

I install new java 1.8 JRE .close my terminal .Agan i type java -version .I found the same version .
why ? how to upgrade java version.

A: You installed Java 8 but it didn't overwrite this:  /usr/bin/java
The easiest way for you to solve this problem is to install Java 8 JDK, not JRE. After install JDK, your path should be automatically updated.

Bella l'idea di usare uno yogurt all'albicocca, sarei curiosa di provare!
Lo yogurt all'albicocca rende il plumcake ancora più profumato! Provare per credere!
Idea eccellente quella di abbinare il sapore dell'albicocca alla frutta secca….complimenti!!
Grazie mille Annalisa, così è ancora più profumato!

TEDxPhiladelphia 2014: Our tour, free tickets, and beyond
PlanPhilly is a proud partner of TEDxPhiladelphia 2014. This year's theme - the New Workshop of the World - is something we think about often as we write about ways Philly is becoming a better planned, more livable and productive city.
Over the next 10 days look for posts about ways we're seeing Philly become a New Workshop of the World - from biking to stormwater, education to vacancy - and consider coming along on our TEDx tour. We're also excited to hear how this year's diverse roster of speakers interpret that theme and will share some videos of our favorite talks later this spring.
TEDxPhiladelphia: Friday, March 28, 9am-5pm
If you're among the many folks who couldn't snag a ticket for the sold out main event at Temple Performing Arts Center, you're in luck. There are more ways to get in on the action.
WIN FREE TICKETS: We're doing a last-minute ticket giveaway! We've got four tickets to give to you for this sold-out event. This is a flash raffle: We'll draw winners between now and Tuesday who tweet us (@PlanPhilly or @EOTSPhilly) or why they want to go to the main event. [CONGRATS TO OUR WINNERS: JENI, GRACE, ROB, and RALPH!]
WATCH ONLINE or IN PUBLIC: On Friday, March 28 you can watch via webcast or at a viewing party around town. (Stay tuned for more details.)
EXPLORE MORE: There are also three adventures that extend the TEDx experience out into the city. We're co-hosting a tour of South Bank with the University of Pennsylvania as part of TEDxPhiladelphia on Saturday, March 29. We're excited to showcase South Bank because it is a great demonstration of how Philly's anchor institutions can leverage their might to foster 21st century economic growth while repurposing relics of the city's industrial past.
TEDx SOUTH BANK TOUR: Saturday, March 29 9:45am-Noon
Presented by PlanPhilly and Univeristy of Pennsylvania for TEDxPhiladelphia 2014
Join PlanPhilly and Penn for a behind-the-scenes tour of Penn's South Bank campus. It's a rare opportunity to see former DuPont labs and meet some of South Bank's current tenants who will exhibit their innovative work. We will visit the PennVet Working Dogs Center, hear about groundbreaking greenhouse research being conducted on plants as shelf-stable incubators for medicine as a cost effective distribution method, and check out flying quad rotors by KMel Robotics who were named Innovators of the Year by Popular Science. Learn about the dynamic activity already going on at South Bank as well as Penn's emerging plans for this property's transformation into a New Workshop of the World. Light refreshments to follow. Bus transportation provided to and from 36th/Walnut.

Q: Why can I not comment though I have "comment everywhere" privilege on Meta Ask Patents? Why can I not add a comment on Meta Ask Patents to, e.g., Question 47 although I have the "comment everywhere" privilege (only 1 rep. needed)?
First, I was hesitant to raise this question as I found quite a lot of similar questions asking for help on commenting. It turned out that the reason for these questions often was too low a reputation to comment.
So I first raised the question on the meta site of "Ask Patents" to make sure that it is not a problem with my low reputation. Indeed, I received an answer from a user with over 5000 reps. who could not comment, either. That indicates that it is not a problem with reputation.
Thus I placed this question here because it may be a feature of the stack exchange engine or another policy barring me and some other users from commenting. I might also be a bug :-)
Details:

*

*On (Meta) Ask Patents, the threshold for the "comment everywhere" privilege is set to 1, see the list of privileges of that site.

*The "add comment" link is missing not only on the question but also on answers from other users.

*The "add comment" link appears on my own answer.

*The "edit" link is greyed out and its tooltip says "Suggested edits are not allowed on non-tag-wiki posts on meta sites."

*Screenshot how I see the "question 47" page:

A: The short, but unsatisfactory, answer is that at the moment it requires 1 rep to comment on main, but 50 rep to comment on meta.
I'm investigating further and will update this answer later.


There's live music every single night of the week at this cool Marrickville jazz lounge. Somewhat hidden on an unassuming street behind an unassuming door, you'll find a velvet curtained and chandelier-bedecked room, which is proving a haven to jazz nerds and non-nerds alike. The room abounds with huge leather studded armchairs and old television sets and the music runs the gamut from traditional Miles Davis to more out there playing depending on the night. The food menu focuses on the South African street food known as "Bunny Chow"; there's spiced lamb curry and a potato and lentil version for the veggies. They serve a cool range of classic cocktails Cosmo, Tom Collins, Mint Juleps and so forth – and also have Young Henry's on tap, something of which we wholeheartedly approve. The wine list is wide-ranging and features both domestic and European wines. Be sure to incline your eyes upwards and check out the too-cool Krishna ceiling mural. It's one of the idiosyncratic touches that make this place such fun (see also: the weird bonsai robot wall fixtures). Packed with a mixed crowd, it's a great spot to kick back with a cold drink or two and listen to the music but even if you're not a serious jazz nut there's plenty here that will appeal. There's a small cover charge of weekends but for the rest of the time, if you like what you hear., you can always slip a few notes in the donation bowl.
