Anything Goes Description
'Exudes the effervescence of a freshly poured gin fizz' The New York Times
All aboard for this saucy and splendid major new production of Cole Porter and P. G. Wodehouse's classic musical of pure escapism, Anything Goes. Featuring a joyful, gold-plated score of theatre's most memorable standards, including 'I Get A Kick Out of You', 'You're the Top', 'It's DeLovely!' and Anything Goes, it's everything you want a big Broadway musical to be and more!
Making her West End debut is the award-winning and internationally renowned American actress, comedian and singer, Megan Mullally as the delectable Reno Sweeney. Mullally, won hearts, as well as three SAG awards, two Emmy awards and four Golden-Globe Nominations, for her iconic role as Karen Walker in the hit TV sitcom Will & Grace. Mullally will be joined by three-time Olivier Award and Tony-Award winner Robert Lindsay, as Moonface Martin. Lindsay has become a household name with British audiences over the years, including starring in the hugely successful BBC sitcom My Family.
Its Bon Voyage on the S.S America but it's not all smooth sailing as they head out to sea; etiquette is castoff through the portholes as two unlikely pairs set off on the course to find true love. Their journey proves that sometimes destiny needs a little help from a crew of singing and dancing sailors, a comical disguise, a farcical blackmail, delightful double-entendres, and some timeless good fun!

The board of trustees sets tuition rates each year. Tuition rates generally increase each year and are subject to change without notice.
A full-time TU student pays tuition which permits him/her to enroll for a minimum of 12 semester hours and a maximum of 19 semester hours; these limits on semester hours refer to the total of all attempted semester hours for a given semester, including every session offered within that semester. Additional fees are incurred for enrolling for more than 19 semester hours in a given fall or spring semester (including all sessions within that semester). Enrolling for fewer than 12 semester hours in a given semester (including all sessions within that semester) means that a student is not full-time. Tuition charges apply for each fall and each spring semester.
Tuition is based on the program (TU or ADP) and on the number of semester hours for which the student is enrolled in that semester (including all sessions within that semester).

The Power Of Our Words
by Jean Lowrie-Chin
The guest speaker declared to his audience, "My address is not for the distinguished visitors, it is really for you, mi bredren and sistren!" Those words from sociologist, Dr. Orville Taylor captured the attention of the young graduates of the Stella Maris Foundation/ Heart NTA Woodwork Training Programme. He congratulated the ambitious young citizens of Grants Pen, playing on the word 'woodwork'. "You are here today because you would work – you refuse to beg !" he commended. Dr Taylor, who hails from the inner city community of Waterhouse, said he had long ago decided that he would work for a pittance while furthering his studies. He assured the young people that he had travelled their path and eventually he had made a success of his life. The faces of the graduates glowed with pride and their families applauded in appreciation. His powerful words turned an ordinary occasion into a feast of affirmation.
Cast members will never forget Wycliffe Bennett's demanding rehearsals of the Carifesta Grand Gala at the National Stadium in '76. As the 20,000 dancers and singers practised late into the evening, he kept them motivated by saying "You are beautiful!" and the hills echoed back "Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!" So convinced were they, that when the Gala unfolded in the Stadium infield, it took our collective breath away. The spirited Mr. B, at eighty years young, is still conducting voice and speech training at CPTC – students of all ages, including Paula Ann Porter and Lisa Hanna will vouch for his genius with words.
Winston Churchill used the poetry of our own Claude McKay to rally the support of the English Parliament for his World War II effort. We can imagine his booming voice appealing: 'O kinsmen, we must meet the common foe! Though far outnumbered let us show us brave, / And for their thousand blows deal one death blow!' In 1989, as the reunited Germans chipped away at the wall between East and West Berlin, they sang "Don't you worry about a thing/Every little thing is gonna be alright." Yes, Bob's words helped to bring down that historic wall.
While the gift of words can boost our spirits, they can also crush and demoralize. The brilliant but dour commentator Wilmot Perkins has drummed into our national psyche a few words written by Irish poet William Butler Yeats. His listeners are now convinced that, "Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold." Ironically, these words are from "The Second Coming", a commentary on the Anglo-Irish conflict in the early twentieth century when there was fear of the unknown, as Ireland struggled to gain her independence. It was a long and hard war, but the fighting spirit of the Irish eventually triumphed. They have finished the century with impressive successes in business and technology. Digicel's Irish executives have repeatedly remarked on the high calibre of the Jamaicans on their team and have compared our struggles with theirs, expressing confidence that we have the potential to match their strides.
The difficulty of being an optimist in Jamaica is that your hopefulness is immediately interpreted as a political statement. You are deemed unfashionable unless you gripe and complain, regardless of how well life has treated you. This relentless pessimism will erode confidence until complaints eventually become self-fulfilling prophecies. We declare that we are a people of faith and at Church we say 'surely goodness and mercy will follow me', but by Monday we are back in the blame game.
A CVM-TV Poll question asked, "Do you think the new Values and Attitudes Programme will be effective?" As expected, the pessimistic majority said "No". "No" lets us off the hook. "No" means there is no need to make an effort because things will never change. "No" means we can relax and declare "nutten nah gwaan." "No" means no values and pathetic attitude.
On the other hand "Yes" comes with a responsibility. "Yes" means agreement and willingness to help make a change for the better. It means attendance at PTA meetings to cooperate with, instead of threaten teachers. "Yes" means switching off the television to fully listen to one's children before they find a dangerous confidante. "Yes" means discipline, productivity and accountability.
The gifted wordsmiths among us take us to a higher level of imagination and experience, a reprieve from the daily diatribe. Regardless of the sad events in his plays, Father Holung always ends with a message of hope. David Heron's interesting plots, Oliver's antics and Luciano's lyrics give us quality entertainment. Poetry is making a welcome comeback, with Edward Baugh's popular CD 'It Was The Singing' being quoted with reverence and The Observer's Literary Supplement a Sunday afternoon delight.
As we realize that we are the only ones of God's creatures with this precious gift of language, we see its power to build or to destroy. It is awesome, the ease with which we match subject with verb, adjective with noun. It is our choice whether we march them out to pillage or to protect.

After integrating Ethernet operations into ASH1.. I though of demonstrating ASH1 as an IOP .. so I looked for a simple I/O operation, yet a simple one to make my life easy when I am writing the code for it in binary. I decided to make ASH1 works as an LCD driver in addition to VGA colour controller.
For the LCD driver code, I wrote the code and compared it with the one used in PIC Projects: A Practical Approach for pic16f627a. ASH1 code took 143.5 bytes whereas for pic16f627a, the code took up 161 bytes.
For VGA Colour Controller, I make it pretty simple since writing a code in binary for the whole VGA controller would take a lot of time. ASH1 was just responsible for the colour patterns generated on the screen. The other functions required for the VGA was implemented in hardware.
And here is what I got ….. ASH1 driving an LCD with "ASH1=] says Hi !" message and controlling the colours of a displayed image on a VGA monitor.
How is it able to take 143.5 bytes? Where did the half byte come from?
That's because the instruction length of ASH1 is 14bits long, and the code has 82 instructions altogether, hence 14 x 82 = 1,148 bits => 1,148 / 8 = 143.5 bytes.

FESTAC: Tears, controversy over demolition of market, churches, workshops
Posted on June 20, 2021 Author CHIJIOKE IREMEKA reports	Comments Off on FESTAC: Tears, controversy over demolition of market, churches, workshops
•FHA demolishes churches, market, car marts, others to resell land
•We're taken unawares, say poultry seller, others
•'We pay rent of N10, 000 each of 5, 000 artisans'
•'FHA's quit notice short, doesn't contain alternative site'
FESTAC Town residents, artisans, clerics and traders among others are wondering why the left wing and Second Avenue, home to mechanic workshops, churches, makeshift car marts and popular Opeoluwa Market, Agboju, were hurriedly demolished by the government, after the expiration of a-seven-day quit notice. The residents and victims are still in dark on the reasons for this exercise amid tears, blood and anger. CHIJIOKE IREMEKA reports
A cloud of confusion has befallen residents of Festac, traders, artisans, mechanics, panel beaters, painters, battery chargers, clerics and food vendors among others. They want to know which government or its agency ordered and carried out the demolition of their homes, churches and business premises at the Second Avenue of the housing estate built when Nigeria hosted the second edition of the Black Festival of Arts and Culture in 1977.
Located along the Lagos-Badagry Expressway in Lagos, the residential estate under the control and management of the Federal Housing Authority (FHA), last Sunday hosted bull dozers which pulled down houses, workshops , worship centres, car marts.
The property were said to run into hundreds of millions of Naira. Many people, especially the victims of the demolition, were yet to decipher the reason(s) Agboju Market, entire churches and workshops among other business premises on that left wing of the 2nd Avenue were flattened, leaving the whole wing desolate as the occupants scampered to safety as heavily armed men of the Lagos Task Force on Environment in a joint operation with the FHA accompanied the bulldozers.
By the time the dust settled, a wide expanse of land had been reduced to mere plains in such a manner that one could see through Orile-Badagry Expressway from Festac Second Avenue.
This left the residents and victims confused as they had no place to go to. What was shocking to most of them was that they were told not to worry as they were assured each time they paid their rents with the hope that the lands were correctly and properly acquired.
The effect would linger on as some may slide into depression or one form of mental health disorder or the other. And of course, shock and High Blood Pressure related deaths may be in offing as an effect of the demolition going by what some victims narrated.
The worries didn't just stop at who carried out the operation but also heightened as many traders and occupants of the parcel of land were asked not to panic as their locations will not be affected, while collecting rent from them, believing that their landlords procured their land legally.
But while they were worshipping their Maker in their respective churches that fateful Sunday morning, their houses and stalls were torn down. They felt that they were deceived and ripped off by the government revenue collectors, who talked them into renewing their rents and sundry payments, when they knew the site would be demolished.
"It's wickedness of the highest order. How will these people know that the workshops will be demolished and still came and collected money from us? If I had the money I paid, I would use it to look for another place. I paid N50, 000 to operate here and other people paid different amounts of money," said a panel beater in pain, Jehu Chukwujekwu.
With what happened on that Sunday morning, anyone with N17, 000 cash would have gone home with a bag of parboiled rice as traders were in confusion over what should be done in order not to lose their wares. It was a critical situation for them, especially those traders and artisans, who live far away from Festac.
Many of them disposed off their wares at giveaway prices in order to mitigate the loses. Indeed, it was like a war situation where uncertainty threw the victims into desperation, solutions where none was available, especially the elderly women, whose stalls suffered fire outbreak few weeks ago before last Sunday's total leveling of the site, a rude shock to those, whose stalls and wares were engulfed by fire.
It would be recalled that the Lagos State Government two year ago, demolished the Agboju Market, up to the Orile-Badagry Expressway. The reason given then was that the government doesn't want to see any structure on the Expressway or in the market. Instead, only umbrellas would be tolerated. Unconfirmed report had it that a popular transport company and an official of the market had bought the parcel of land.
The alleged transfer of ownership led to clandestine demolition of the market in the latter part of May, 2019, even as people sensed some foul play in what transpired. It was also learnt that few weeks ago, some parts of the same Agboju Market were 'set' ablaze overnight and no single pin was recovered from the inferno as the fire was 'kindled' at night under the watch of the market security operatives, who made no effort to extinguish the fire. "We really don't know what is happening here. As it stands now, there is no market in Festac today.
The two markets in the estate have been demolished. After Agboju was demolished two years ago, the 23 Road Market was demolished last year in December, and with six months down the line, we are facing this demolition again. At this time, it's a total clearing as you can see," said John Ekpunobi, a major electronics dealer on the Avenue.
Sunday Telegraph learnt that some of the affected traders were those from the popular 23 Road Market, which was also demolished precisely on December 12, 2020 in spite Covid-19 lockdown and EndSARS crisis in the country.
They felt raped, abandoned and thus, vented their frustrations. "I'm tired of this wickedness. I am tired of this life. What a life of punishment is this?
Why is Lagos State Government bent on maiming innocent citizens, who legally do their business and pay taxes to the government?," Mrs. Bisola Ogunbiyi, who deals in food and beverages, lamented.
"We were sent away from 23 Road Market without any reason and I moved down to this place to find rest. Now, here is the worst. How do we survive in this country where the poor masses are so hated and treated with scorn? I'm tired. I'm a graduate and have children to take care of.
These people will never go unpunished for the pain they inflicted on us. God will give them the ultimate punishment," she cried heavily, lamenting her ordeals. "Tell me, where do I run to now? Where will I take my market to? This is too much. When will these end?
When will we find peace again in this country? Our goods are being destroyed on the roads, yet, we can't find peace at home…" the mother four lamented as tears flowed freely from her eyes.
More so, during Sunday Telegraph's visit, a number of traders and artisans whose workshops suffered great destruction as well as worshippers were seen voluntarily removing the roofing of their buildings, block walls, windows, iron protectors and doors to prevent being destroyed by the demolishing squad.
But those who weren't fast enough or around to remove theirs were unfortunate when the bulldozers arrived.
They tore down the structures from the roof to the foundation. By the time the exercise ended, only about four structures were standing. This raised a number of questions. Mechanics and panel beaters were seen hurriedly towing their vehicles away from the scene of demolition.
The leader of the Gate of Righteousness Evangelical International Church, Pastor Joshua Obong, whose Church has been there for the past 18 years, felt his church was targeted for demolition, wondering why the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Communion Chapel and CPM on the same land were spared.
"The officials first came last week and marked our buildings. They left and returned two days later and gave us a sevenday notice, which expired last Wednesday. They got to my church at exactly 11am and they demolished all the churches along the road, except for those three. We wrote, seeking extension of time, but the letter was not even acknowledged," he lamented.
He said that the government took advantage of the strike action by judicial workers, as nobody could approach the court for injunctions to stop the demolition.
It was also alleged that the government demolished the structures to allow full possession of the land by those buyers, who allegedly bought the land from FHA in Abuja and also pave way for them to sell more.
The Overseer of Christ Gospel Church International, Pastor William Ehiorenren, said: "We heard that they want to re-allocate the land and sell to moneybags and make millions. I have not seen where seven days would be given for people to vacate their property.
"We have been in that area for years and we spent millions of naira in building our churches. They could not even give us time to move because they had mapped out their evil plan to sell the land to people. We usually paid tenancy rates to landlords."
He accused the government of playing a double standard game by leaving certain churches because their leaders had political connections and demolishing others that do not have, adding that his church was not served any notice of demolition.
In a bid to determine why some structures were spared, some people said those occupants bought their land from the right source with Certificate of Occupancy in place while others were accused of illegal buying, saying that FHA is the only legal owner of the land in Festac. They also added that any other person or government or its agents, is illegal.
"In fact, there are too many confusing reports on the reason touted for the demolition of the area. We learnt that the land has been fully sold off, plotted and allotted to owners, who do not even know where their portion of lands are because they bought the land on papers in Abuja," said Mr. Benjamin Erukere, a major dealer of electronics.
He continued: "So, when some of them came in search of their lands, they were driven away by some artisans, mechanics, panel beaters, and painters, among others, sitting on the land. We learnt that they used juju and even physical aggression. This continued until the landlords regrouped themselves.
"I don't know how it happened but they discussed with FHA to clear their land for them to take possession of their property. They settled with FHA and paid them to assign the task to an agency that would help them achieve this goal and they settled for Lagos State Taskforce.
"As if that was not good enough, while the mechanics, who didn't pay money to the owners of the land to stay there, apart from the payment they make to the local government on yearly basis, they collect money from people coming into the site to place their container house for businesses. "It wasn't small money that they collected; they worked hand in hand with the local government in this escapade.
These are some of the things that I heard that angered the property owners because they were scared of losing their landed property. When Sunday Telegraph met a member of the Task Force who led the team he declined to comment. He said he was not permitted to talk.
His counterpart from the FHA said he had no power to speak on behalf of government either. However, another FHA source with privy information said FHA contracted Lagos State which in turn gave FHA Taskforce and The Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA) to carry out the operation.
Also, a source close to FHA said, though the area is adjudged Buffer Zone, few radius away from 2nd Avenue main dual carriage road had been allotted in Abuja according to survey marking and plotting with survey numbers. LASEMA's Head of Public Affairs, Nosa Okunbor, said the operation was carried out as a joint venture between FHA and Lagos State Government.
He said: "So, the LASEMA equipment you saw was deployed by the Lagos State government. It does not mean that FHA contracted LASEMA to do the demolition." A fowl seller, Miss Ngozi Chiebonam, lost some of her birds while hurriedly moving them away from the site marked for demolition, saying they were taken unawares because they were told that their part is safe.
"We were taken unawares. I wasn't planning to do anything or remove anything today because we were told that our own location has the right papers. I came to observe what was happening but didn't know it was going to be like this. I have lost some of my birds which mixed up with my neighbour's," said Mrs. Chidimma Maduagwuna, who sells live birds. Also, Mrs. Onome Ajiri, an egg seller, said she had lost some eggs while trying to escape the terror from the site.
According to her, she was in the church at Ojo when her neighbour informed her of what was happening. "When I came to the market, they had gotten close to my shop and so, I quickly carried some eggs which I could carry at once under that tension.
"Some of them fell down and broke but I was able to go with a reasonable number of eggs. I watched the kiosk I spent money to build destroyed by the Taskforce.
It's painful and I don't know where to go or where to start. I am confused. Egg is not something you can keep anyhow, else, you will lose all of them." In another development, a painter at the Mechanic workshop, opposite 5th Avenue Junction, Muyiwa Adekanbi, said since Thursday when the Taskforce brought the notice through the Lagos State Taskforce, he has not slept as he kept vigil not to be taken unawares.
"See me! I don't have my own motor and have not started paying for customers' vehicles. Since then, I stopped sleeping to watch over those vehicles, so that they will not come in the middle of the midnight to scatter everywhere. I thank God that I came out on time to tow all of them out of 2nd Avenue," he said.
Speaking on behalf of the victims, the Vice President, Nigerian Automobile Technicians Association (NATA), Amuwo Odofin Local Government Area, Mr. Isaac Kadiri, said the demolition was a huge economic loss and a disaster.
The Vice President, who called on the government to provide an alternative place for them and other people affected by the demolition, said the government should have given them an alternative place instead of giving them seven days' notice to vacate the site.
He said: "We want the government to give us a place where we can earn our living. We were paying rent to Amuwo Odofin Local Government. We are paying tax to Lagos State Government.
We pay rent of N10, 000 each, per annum. We are more than 5,000 artisans.
"We had an alternative place at 6th Avenue. It was given to us by Festac Town Residents Association (FTRA) and FHA but the place is not ready yet. What we have lost here, we can't gain back. We have mechanics, battery chargers, vulcanisers, panel beaters and painters as our members."
Asked whether there was notice to that effect, he said: "We were served the seven days' ultimatum through Lagos State Task Force, which claimed FHA invited it to carry out the demolition. But the notice didn't contain where to relocate us to just within these seven days. It's horrible my brother."
Meanwhile, while some people were wailing and yelling for the misfortune that has befallen them, the cart-pushers, carpenters, transporters and load carriers were making money for themselves carrying peoples' loads out of the risk area to safe places on the right wing of the Avenue and beyond.
Musa Ibrahim, a cart-pusher, was asked how much he had made and how many tons of load he had carried and he said in his disjointed Pidgin English but translated to mean: "Plenty. I have been carrying plenty of goods.
They never pay me but I will be paid plenty of money. A carpenter was also there, helping the traders, church and business owners to dismantle their buildings and shops on their own before the demolition squad got to their site and reduced everything to rubble.
"My work here is to help people remove their roofing sheets, kiosks and other things and get paid. If you don't remove it, when their machine comes, it will damage the roofing sheets, woods and even the blocks and you won't be able to use them again," a carpenter, Mr. Balogun Oduse, said.
Also, one of them that offered to carry loads at the market, Segun Akintola, said: "My own is to help them carry things out of the site to where they want me to keep them.
They will pay after the work because we didn't bargain because it was an emergency situation." However, all effort to get to either FHA or the Taskforce did not yield the desired result as they refused to talk.

Cadillac Man
A movie with a split personality
May 30, 1990 -- Cadillac Man, starring Robin Williams starts out as a funny story, but soon crashes and burns in a fire fight in a Cadillac showroom. Williams fans will find enough to cheer about here, but this movie seems to have been designed by a committee.
The first half of the film finds Williams acting as an utter sleaze, romancing various women and trying to sell a widow a car at her husband's funeral. After a funny start, the film becomes a tense hostage situation comedy with Williams suddenly becoming an altruistic hero, seeing the error of his ways and promising, in the end, to become a devoted husband and father.
Williams is talented enough to pull off either character, but he can't make the viewer believe that both of these characters are the same person and that both of these plots belong in the same movie.
On a scale of one to 10 this film also rates a six.
Back to the Laramie Movie Scope index.


Color: deep garnet with a light magenta rim.
Mouthfeel: cherry/pomegranate/leather finish with a medium plus linger.
This is one of the best under $10 wines I have reviewed. It is lovely and satisfying. Well, I am giving it a 90 so there, WS!
$10? And sounds yum to boot? Bargain! I had to put this on the Project 89 blog for you! Thanks!
Is it possible that the additional aging over the last year (WS reviewed it in 2007, and you're tasting it almost at the end of 2008) made the difference?? Just curious.
Liza, I left you a comment on the 89 Project regarding this wine. Waterbrook Melange is my go-to-wine. Affordable and always consistently good. Also, convenient since the Waterbrook Tasting room is located downtown Walla Walla.
THanks, Catie! We are dying to get to Walla Walla as soon as its thawed enough to drive from Boise!

Q: Nginx and NSD3 don't start on boot because they cannot use the assigned IP Server is a Xen VPS running Ubuntu 12.04 and neither nginx nor NSD3 come up after reboot. The apparent reason for that is that they're not able to bind to their assigned IP addresses right after boot,
from /var/log/boot.log
* Starting configure network device                                     [ OK ]
* Stopping save kernel messages                                         [ OK ]
* Starting MTA                                                          [ OK ]
nginx: [emerg] bind() to [2a01:1b0:removed:1c9c]:80 failed (99: Cannot assign requested address)
* Starting nsd3...                                                      [ OK ]
[...]
* Starting configure virtual network devices                            [ OK ]
* Stopping configure virtual network devices                            [ OK ]

from /var/log/nsd.log
[1351715473] nsd[956]: error: can't bind udp socket: Cannot assign requested address
[1351715473] nsd[956]: error: server initialization failed, nsd could not be started

Everything works fine after a couple of seconds, and both nginx and NSD3 can be started.
It seems to me that the problem is in the wrong boot order, nginx and NSD3 are started before the network configuration can fully take place. I worked around it by putting
# nginx and nsd boot fix
sleep 4
/etc/init.d/nsd3 start
/etc/init.d/nginx start

in /etc/rc.local but that's not a proper solution. What is the right way to handle this issue?
Here's my basic network configuration, from /etc/network/interfaces
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
  address 89.removed.121
  gateway 89.removed.1
  netmask 255.255.255.0

iface eth0 inet6 static
  up echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/autoconf
  up echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/default/autoconf
  netmask 64
  gateway 2a01:removed:0001
  address 2a01:removed:7c3b
  up ip addr add 2a01:removed:62bd dev eth0 preferred_lft 0
  up ip addr add 2a01:removed:ce6d dev eth0 preferred_lft 0
  up ip addr add 2a01:removed:3e13 dev eth0 preferred_lft 0
  up ip addr add 2a01:removed:1c9c dev eth0 preferred_lft 0

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

Those awkward up id addr are there because I wanted to add additional IPs but still use the first one for all traffic originating from the server.

A: It seems like nsd3 has to start after netwok.
adding $network in the Required-Start part of /etc/init.d/nsd3 file should solve the issue.

A: The easiest fix for this is to not have nginx or nsd bind to a specific IP address, but to listen for any address. For instance in nginx:
listen [::]:80;

The less easy fix is to fix your network interfaces script. The way you have it configured now, your IP addresses are routed to you, but they are not actually bound to the interface in a way that programs can explicitly listen on them. (They only receive traffic for them if they bound to any address, as above.) To do that, you need additional iface sections, instead of the ip route commands.
iface eth0 inet6 static
        address 2001:db8::1234
        netmask 64

iface eth0 inet6 static
        address 2001:db8::5678
        netmask 64

iface eth0 inet6 static
        address 2001:db8::abcd
        netmask 64

Landowners are strongly encouraged to follow the referral procedure set by the Conservation District. The district forester is better able to collaborate with landowners that use this process. In addition, the landowner is more likely to find a consultant that suits their project needs. The district forester may have more information about providers than is available on this site.
The Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (MDARD) maintains a list of Qualified Foresters. These individuals are registered with the state and can write the management plans required by the Qualified Forest Program (QFP). The list of Qualified Foresters is available here.
Michigan State University maintains a list of Consulting Foresters. Consulting Foresters may or may not also be Qualified Foresters. If you are a landowner looking for forestry assistance that does not include a management plan for the QFP, a Consulting Forester may be able to help.
Please note that both Qualified Foresters and Consulting Foresters are self-employed professional foresters whose business involves managing non-industrial, private forestland for a fee. Thus, the consultant works for the landowner. Fees may be negotiable and are based on hourly rates, per unit rates, or a commission of timber sale proceeds.
The Conservation Districts do not endorse any consultant over another. You are advised to check references when hiring any type of contractor.

Commentary: Beyond Web content
Content manager Interwoven's new offerings make it more viable in a market demanding broader functions, a Gartner analyst says.
April 24, 2002 3:41 PM PDT
By Mark Gilbert, Gartner Analyst
Interwoven's new offerings make the company more viable in a content management market demanding broader functions.
Interwoven was an early entrant into the market
See news story:
Content manager Interwoven touts apps
for Web content management products. It has strong technology in this area as well as some knowledge management capabilities through its meta-tagging product. It achieved this excellence by remaining strategically focused on Web content and became known as a best-of-breed player. This strategy remained workable until last year.
Several recent trends forced Interwoven to broaden its offerings very quickly:
• The economy slowed down, so companies didn't have as much money to spend on Web content management.
• The market for Web content management products consolidated, with merged vendors expanding their range of functions.
• Companies want to save money and work more efficiently by dealing with a single supplier to manage the various kinds of content (Web and non-Web) together.
• Interwoven priced its offerings on the high side, with many sales of $200,000 to $400,000--prices the vendor could command between 1998 and 2000.
As a result of the changing market conditions, Interwoven has suffered financial setbacks. In the first quarter of 2002, the company's revenue fell to $32.7 million from $60.5 million in the same period a year earlier. By contrast, rival Documentum recorded revenue of $50.6 million in the first quarter of 2002, up from $45.3 million in the year-ago period. Documentum used its strength in document management to start in on Web content management and related technologies, and it has demonstrated a good understanding of market trends.
Interwoven is now responding more aggressively to the changing market by introducing the three new applications:
• TeamDoc, which is designed to help companies to build documents collaboratively and to manage the collaborative process. It handles various kinds of content, not just Web content. Companies increasingly demand more collaborative capabilities as part of content creation and approval.
• TeamPortal, which is designed to enable better access to content.
• TeamCode, which was created to respond to the convergence of content with code, which can improve the ease of deployment of Web applications and drive greater site efficiency.
In part, Interwoven has begun marketing some functions it long possessed. It needs to build on this approach and continue to expand beyond Web content management to capitalize on the brand equity and market leadership it retains. Collaborative content management, including Web content functions, can differentiate Interwoven, at least in the short term.

Tesla launches $2,000 'Acceleration Boost' for 3.9s 0-60 mph in Model 3 Dual Motor
- Dec. 19th 2019 2:18 am PT
Tesla has officially launched "Acceleration Boost," a $2,000 over-the-air software upgrade that makes the 0 to 60 mph acceleration of the Model 3 Dual Motor Long Range go down to 3.9 seconds.
As we reported yesterday, the news leaked on the fine print of Tesla's website in the upgrade section of the Tesla account of some owners.
Considering Tesla lists software package upgrades on this page, we speculated that Tesla would offer an acceleration upgrade through a software update.
However, we didn't know the details of the performance upgrade until now.
The automaker is now officially offering the upgrade, and it represents a 0.5 second improvement in the 0-60 mph acceleration for Model 3 Dual Motor vehicles:
Improve your 0-60 mph acceleratiion from 4.4 seconods to 3.9 secnds with an over-the-air update.
Tesla is now officially listing the new upgrade for $2,000:
As we suspected yesterday, the upgrade is, so far at least, only available to Model 3 Dual Motor Long Range owners.
Tesla again says that the new upgrade requires the latest 2019.40.2 software update.
The upgrade is also available through Tesla's mobile app:
Electrek's Take
I am not sure of the level of interest in this upgrade at that price, but it does show again that there isn't much difference between the Model 3 Dual Motor and Performance powertrains.
The only hardware that Tesla claims to be doing differently is a more powerful inverter and validating the rear motor for higher output, but it's still the same motors.
Therefore, Tesla was likely pulling back the acceleration of the dual motor in the less expensive version of the car in order to make the performance version look better.
Now at the end of the quarter, they decided that it's more valuable to them to try to get $2,000 more out of some Model 3 Dual Motor owners.
At least, that's how it looks to me. I doubt this is one of those situations where Tesla has just figured out a way to get more power or more efficiency through software. Otherwise, it would be available to other owners of different versions of the Model 3 too.
For Model 3 Dual Motor owners, are you going to buy it?
The Tesla Model 3 is the first vehicle built on Tesla's third-generation platform. It aims to reduce the entry price for electric vehicles while not making any compromise on range and performance. The Model 3 starts at $35,000 in the US and deliveries to employees and company insiders began in mid 2017 - customer deliveries begin in late 2017.

The dugi guide team of experts has been playing world of warcraft ever since it was introduced to the public. Then if you visit their member's area (and i want to make this dugi guides review honestly), you will get a lot of videos that was very helpful. Before we continue with the review, you can have a free download of. Some are also for naturists. Many players choose the zygor guide because of the way it looks, with it's modern, clean appearance.
Tired of grinding to level 90? or leveling in general? With our Non-Stop power leveling service, your character will be leveled by 2 of our professional gamers 18 hours a day, 7 days a week, so you can maximize your entertainment by playing your character at a higher level with more spells and powers to use. Our gamers have a lot of experience playing WoW and will ensure that your character reaches the desired level in the timeframe you've specified. Thus, our Non-Stop World of Warcraft Powerleveling Service is the fastest way for you to bypass the boring hours of grind to 90 when the fun begins!
* Level-Appropriate Quests: Don't stay questing in zones if you out level them. As soon as you reach the appropriate level to quest in a higher zone, be sure to do so to take advantage of the higher experience gain. The exception to this is if the end of a quest line provides fast transport to a new zone, but this would require intimate knowledge of zones and quest lines.
You're always being told which way to go. For some players, leveling as fast as possible is a priority, and that's where the zygor wow leveling guide comes in. If you bought dugi guides through us, i will send you free bonuses (50 dollars value) and i will try to help you in world of warcraft. Is dugi guides risk-free and safe obtain. Services are three daily in summer; journey time is 1 hour 20 mins; cars permitted. Without a doubt buying a good quality wow book will. if you're just getting started with warcraft, then this guide is a must-have, while it also can help round out any missing links for an experienced player.
Before you can write any sort of code, you'll want to have a tool that lets you edit your AddOn files. However do not get overly distracted with the tools themselves while trying to get your first AddOn created. Any text editor, like Windows Notepad can edit the files. All AddOn files are plain text files. The editors can make the coding and many repetitive tasks easier for day to day editing, but it's often very difficult to learn the tools and try to learn the AddOn at the same time.
There is a talent guide for every individual class and it's also in game so you never have to minimise the screen to check it out. Totally original: fully comprehensive guide anything like this for any game. For people to claim that one version is far better than another is quite an exaggeration. The most basic way is the fact that you're killing monsters much more quickly and efficiently. Their guides cover virtually everything. Double check that the launcher. As of now, they have got three class specializations referred to as brewmaster(tank), windwalker (melee specialist), and mistweaver (healer) (source: wowwiki. First thing that i liked about the guide dugi was that it was not based on false methods. Virtual reality is now standing at a very edge of a steep hill.
At level 80, I skipped Cataclysm and went straight to Pandaria. Even as my warrior leveled up, and that heirloom axe increased in iLvl along with me, Dugi still ranked that iLvl 87 sword higher. I kept picking up new 2h weapons, and Dugi kept rejecting them in favor of that Wrath sword. That's when I noticed that all of these Pandaria weapon drops, even weapons 20 iLvls higher than the Wrath sword, had secondaries under 20. So even though Dugi Gear Advisor is showing that a new weapon would provide a DPS increase, it still prompts me to re-equip that Wrath sword every time I equip a new weapon. Meanwhile, I've kept the heirloom axe in my bags, assuming that at some point its stats would once again beat whatever I had equipped, but nope, it doesn't, according to Dugi.
1. Dugi Guide Review – World of Warcrafts No.1 GuideWhich Is The Best WoW Leveling Guide?So Many WoW Guides But Which One Is The Best WoW Guide?In my practiced judgment there are only actually 2 strategy guides worth taking into consideration asbeing the primary strategy guides and in all honesty its tough to decide on a winner as both strategyguides will most certainly be exceptionally great.I actually use both guides (although not simultaneously) as I prefer different features with differentguides. Rather than detail both guides in this document I'll instead cover the guide I use primarilywhich includes the add-on for power leveling and professions.My favorite World of Warcraft strategy guide is usually oftentimes referred to as the Dugi Guide!The Dugi Guide was created by Dave Farrell and has been used by World ofWarcraft players for a number of years to successfully rise to the top of thegame and reign supreme on their server.With tens of thousands of WoW gamers actively using the Dugi Guide on adaily basis to enhance their gaming stats it's obvious why some players areable to make it look so easy when leveling their characters and scooping upsome of the rarest achievements in the game.The reliability of the Dugi guide is what has really earned the guide its strong reputation and it isobvious to see precisely why the guide has fast ended up being the number one option for World ofWarcraft fanatics and players all across the globe.There's definitely no shortage of individual functions and lots of features and benefits in the DugiGuide which is certainly beyond the scope of this short document however what Im able to clarifyupon is the guide covers just about every major component of the game although they're allseparate add-ons!These include add-ons for Power Leveling, Professions & Achievements, Dungeons & Loremaster,Pets & Mounts and so on…Players can literally level their characters at lightning speed and level their professions in record timewhile raising their status to EXALTED level and earning some of the rarest achievements in the gamesuch as the Netherdrake mount.Is The Dugi Guide Reliable, is it safe to use?In terms of the actual reliability the guide has a outstanding track record and although you can findsmall bugs that shall be expected through any software it is in reality a reputable and wellprogrammed software app that is being continually updated and improved upon.Brought to you by http://wowguides.co Page 1
Power leveling is the term used to describe the process of leveling a character as rapidly as possible with the least amount of play time. It can be used from any level up to level cap. Contrary to what many believe, efficient power leveling does not require endless hours of grinding. The best methods of power leveling involve doing many quests in an orderly fashion.
Before i answer that question it's essential to know that the dugi guide is an. The sticky frame is a separate frame that you can activate if you want to create your own customized list.

UFSA Widens UFS Ecosystem, Adding Vendors of Removable Mobile Cards and Related Technology
AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan 3, 2020--
High performance, low power Universal Flash Storage (UFS) represents the future of mobile storage, as underscored by the wide adoption of embedded mobile products, and the recent arrival of removable UFS Cards. With 2019 launches of some UFS Card systems underway, 2020 is expected to be the year that UFS Cards become the industry choice for removable mobile storage.
September 2019: UFS Card won best product innovation award at CFMS (China Flash Market Summit) in Shenzhen, China
Sequential Read performance 5x faster than SD card
Random Read performance 70x faster than SD card
UFS is a superior open-standard flash memory interface developed by JEDEC (world leader in semiconductor standards), first used in embedded storage and extended to UFS Card storage using a royalty-free form factor. Higher performance versions of UFS and UFS Cards continue to be developed, as well.
UFSA (Universal Flash Storage Association) has coordinated with JEDEC and industry leaders to develop compliance testing and logo certification programs for UFS to create a robust ecosystem, enabling system houses to launch UFS Card systems with multiple suppliers.
"Embedded UFS and UFS Cards demonstrate the power of leading-edge companies working together through JEDEC and the UFSA, responding to the global need for higher performance storage, and related open-standard products," said Mian Quddus, Board Chairman for JEDEC and the UFSA.
Through several compliance workshops, UFSA has certified multiple UFS Cards as well as several UFS controllers and controller IP. Coupled with multiple socket suppliers and UFS-to-USB bridge chips, the new UFS suppliers have fortified the UFS ecosystem now in place for system houses.
"UFSA created the compliance testing environment for the JEDEC UFS standard to enable high confidence in certified products," said Perry Keller, Keysight Digital Standards and Applications Program lead, and UFSA Compliance Chairman. "UFSA continues to hold workshops to permit certification of additional products and suppliers."
Test equipment products from Keysight, BitifEye, and Protocol Insight have been instrumental in expanding the environment for enabling automated testing and certification.
A proliferation of embedded UFS products has occurred rapidly for a wide range of applications including smartphones, tablets and drones. The ramp of UFS Cards, however, because it directly involves the end user, requires extensive compliance and compatibility testing to insure interoperability among suppliers. Since UFSA created its compliance test matrix, it has certified a robust set of suppliers. Recent introductions by LG and Samsung Electronics add to the growing list of laptops and Netbook computers supporting UFS Cards. (links included below)
Three UFS Card developers have UFSA-certified devices (Phison, Samsung Electronics, and Silicon Motion (SMI)).
"We are ready to support the industry as the market accelerates," said Horace Chen, Director of Mobile Storage at Phison and UFSA Board member.
"UFS Cards will play a critical role in speeding up the storage process, and growing storage capacity," said Hangu Sohn, vice president of NAND Memory Planning at Samsung Electronics. "Moreover, with a royalty-free form factor and open standard design, we expect to see a rapid transition to these cards in 2020."
"We are active contributors to UFS controller and Card designs and we are ready to meet the needs of the industry as it ramps up," said Robert Hsieh, Director of Mobile Storage Marketing at Silicon Motion and UFSA Board member.
Adding the capabilities of USB3.1 and USB Type C card readers for UFS enables the UFS Card to be the transfer device of choice between devices. (link below)
At the recent IFA Berlin, the Hisense T91 cell phone prototype demonstrated UFS Cards run circles around microSD cards with 6x faster sequential read and write speeds, and 35x better random writes. The UFS Card is also a good deal faster than built-in eMMC storage that is commonly used in non-premium devices. The numbers come close to the speed of built-in UFS 2.1, which was used in recent flagships (e.g. Galaxy S10, Huawei P30 and others). Clearly the UFS Card technology is ready and Qualcomm's chipsets support it.

Fishing, golf and, of course, elephant kraals.
Established in 1767 as the capital of Thailand the city maintains a timeless charm. An extensive system of canals has earned it the nickname "Venice of the Far East," and visitors should make a point of experiencing its floating marketplace. Bangkok is of course also world-renowned for its wealth of ancient temples and beautiful gardens–and did we mention, shopper's paradise. An hour from Laem Chabang is Pattaya, Thailand's most popular vacation spot. That's where the elephant kraals come in.
Wacky architecture, cultural contrast, call it what you will: In "KL," as this town is widely known, it is not unusual to, say, see a modern skyscraper situated next door to a centuries-old shophouse. It's one of the things that make Kuala Lumpur unique.
Superficially, KL may appear to be a modern Asian city of gleaming skyscrapers, but it retains much of the character and local colour which has been so effectively wiped out in cities such as Singapore. It has plenty of colonial buildings in its centre, a vibrant Chinatown with street vendors and night markets, and a bustling Little India.
The real heart of KL is Merdeka Square, the site of the city's parades and celebrations and home to a 95m (312ft) high flagpole. In colonial days, Malaysia's administrators used the square for cricket matches, but it was also here that Malaysia's independence was declared in 1957. On the eastern side of the square is the moorish Sultan Abdul Samed
Building, topped by a 43m (141ft) high clocktower. KL's magnificent railway station is built in a similar moorish style, with its full quota of minarets, cupolas, towers and arches, and may be construed as a delightful example of British colonial humour. The Petronas Towers building is less decorative but impossible to miss. It's almost half a km (1640ft) high and is one of the tallest structures in the world.
The picturesque, striped onion-domed Masjid Jame (Friday mosque) is set in a grove of palm trees overlooking Merdeka Square and is neatly reflected in the new mirror-glass office building nearby. Just south of Jami Masjid are the teeming streets of KL's Chinatown – a crowded, colourful area with the usual melange of signs, shops activity and noise. At night the central section is closed to traffic and becomes a brightly lit, frantic night market.
Budget hotels and hostels can be found in Chinatown and Jalan Pudu Lama. Mid-range hotels are concentrated in Chinatown and on Jalan Bukit Bintang. The night market in Chinatown is the most interesting place to eat in the evening.
Vying with Ho Chi Minh City for the title of "Pearl of the Orient," Penang is renowned for its natural beauty, charm, and graceful colonial architecture.
It was established in 1786 by the British as the first trading post east of India. Today, Penang's historic Georgetown is filled with many fine examples of British architecture.
And if architecture doesn't do it for you, Penang is also home to the best beaches in Malaysia. Finally, visitors can have a good time just pronouncing the Chayamangkalaram Temple. Whether a first time visitor or frequent traveller to Penang, this exceptional island will captivate you the minute you set foot on its soil. Apart from enjoying beautiful beaches, culture and sights, nothing is far more breathtaking than looking at the sunrise as a new day in Penang dawns.
Penang is food paradise to anyone who has experienced a taste of Penang's simple yet sumptous galore. This amazing island has always been associated with a rich culture and a place where food is much appreciated by locals and foreigners. From exquisitely prepared sea food to mouth-watering hawkers' fare, it's a must to relish every bit of everything, when in Penang.

GENEALOGY SERIES: Malabar Coast, Kerala, India roots
Posted on April 27, 2019 by melletpt
Many slaves brought to the Cape of Good Hope were from the southwestern Malabar Coast of India which after 1956 with the combining of the Malayam-speaking regions of India, became the State of Kerala with its capital city being Thiruvananthapuram. It also incorporates the old Kingdom of Cochin.
One of my 8th Great grandmother's was Catharina van Malabar (circa 1650) who locates as being taken captive on the southwestern Malabar coast, in today's Kerala state.
Before India became independent, under British rule the northern part of Kerala was part of the Madras province of British India. The culture of Kerala is a syncretic mix of Aryan, Dravidian, Arab and European culture which developed over millennia. From its inception Kerala has been a socialist stronghold (Communist Party) in India, and is one of the most successful economic regions with well-developed infrastructure, social cohesion and social services.
In 1498, the Portuguese began to dominate eastern shipping, and the spice-trade in particular. Francisco de Almeida the greatest Portuguese General of that time was appointed as Viceroy of Portuguese India in 1505, and his headquarters was established at Fort Kochi (Fort Emmanuel) in the Malabar region where he established fortresses all along the Malabar Coast. In 1510 this great Portuguese General was defeated in battle by the Khoi at Salt River in Table Bay. D'Almeida and 60 of his senior officers were killed in that battle by Khoi armed with cattle, spears and archery. Later in 1571, the Portuguese were defeated in the region and the United Dutch East India came into ascendancy and gained control of the spice trade over the 1600. It was during this period Dutch exported slaves from the Malabar Coast and the Coromandel coast across the global Dutch footprint including to the Cape of Good Hope. Most who were sold into slavery were war captives and refugees. Some too were natural-disaster refugees or captives of pirates. Some were taken in payment for debts, in a practice known as debt-bondage.
Within 160 years the Dutch like the Portuguese before them were weakened by constant battles with Marthanda Varma of the Travancore Royal Family, and were defeated at the Battle of Colachel in 1741. An agreement, known as 'Treaty of Mavelikkara', was signed by the Dutch and the Travancore in 1753, according to which the Dutch were compelled to break off from all political involvement in the region. The British East India Company then expanded into India when in 1766, Hyder Ali, the ruler of Mysore invaded northern Kerala. His son and successor, Tipu Sultan, launched campaigns against the expanding British East India Company, resulting in protracted wars which resulted in northern parts of today's Kerala being ceded by Tipu to the Madras Presidency of British India in 1792.
By the 1770s already the export of slaves by the Dutch from India, the Bay of Bengal and Southeast Asia drastically tumbled and died out with the majority of slaves at the Cape from the 1760s to 1860s being imported from Africa. Up until 1834 the majority of new first generation slaves were African and after 1834 the 'prize slaves' known as Liberated Africans followed (as forced apprenticed labour) until 1870.
Grandma Catharina van Malabar had a daughter with a Dutch man Cornelius ' Kees de Boer' Claasz. Their daughter Maria Cornelisse Claasen van der Kaap (1678) was one of my 7th great grandmothers who would marry into the lineage of one of my 9th Great Grandmothers the Khoi interpreter Krotoa of the people who called themselves //Ammaqua (Watermans) and other Khoi disparagingly referred to them as Goringhaicona – our kin who left us or were expelled.
Slaves like Maria and others in my family tree who have the name van der Kaap are what are called Creole slaves. Creole simply mean locally born or a new creation. To illustrate how slaves were named we can see that as a first generation slave from Malabar Catharina was given the surname 'van Malabaar'. As a child born to a slave woman, Maria was also a slave, even though her father was European. As a second generation creole slave Maria had the surname van der Kaap, but she also had her father's names as baptism names (Cornelius Claaz) Cornelius se kind/ Claasz syn kind. So her name was Maria Cornelisse Claasen van der Kaap. In the third generation only the surname Claasen would continue. This was one of a number of different naming traditions foisted onto slaves. The names of the month, biblical names and names from Roman and Greek classics were also among the traditions. Slaves had little control over their names or anything personal.
A so it came to pass that Catharina (we don't know her original name) came to be totally divorced from her rich Kerala traditions and culture and she and her descendants would only know Africa as their home. Into her cultural stream would flow the streams of other Asians and Africans and local Khoi as well as Europeans. Her descendants would be a new syncretic African people who would first suffer almost two centuries of slavery and colonial dispossession, and then de-Africanisation and Apartheid… all crimes against humanity, but with great fortitude rose above adversity, resisted these evils and fought for freedom and dignity.
In this short series that I have been posting I have shown the diversity of slaves from Africa, India and Southeast Asia which came together with Indigenous Khoi Africans and with non-conformist Europeans to give birth to an African-creole people who I refer to as Camissa and the state refers to as Coloured (the colonial and Apartheid brand forced on a range of peoples after 1904.

A Light at the End of the Blue Ridge Tunnel
General / People / Places / November 2, 2020
Consider the career of 19th-century engineer Claudius Crozet:
An artillery officer under Napoleon, he sailed to America to teach engineering at West Point. He was not only a founder of the Virginia Military Institute, but also served as Virginia's chief engineer. A town in the Blue Ridge Mountains is named after him.
In 1850, he was hired to build the Blue Ridge Tunnel – at the time, the nation's longest. It's located at Rockfish Gap, its eastern entrance in Afton, its western entrance near Waynesboro.
When it opened in 1858, the tunnel was an eastern pass for steam locomotives, as the country migrated from canals to railroads to move people and goods. Irish immigrants and Black enslaved laborers worked on the 4,273-foot-long tunnel from either end, using hand drills and black powder.
"It was considered to be the easiest pass through the mountain range," says Greg Harnish, project manager at Woolpert, the architecture, engineering and geospatial firm hired to restore the tunnel under Afton Mountain. "They were shipping lumber from the mountains to the ports – more lumber came from Virginia and West Virginia than from Pennsylvania."
The tunnel operated until 1944 when it was decommissioned. Now it's been restored by the Commonwealth and Nelson County for recreational use by hikers and bikers, as part of Virginia's "Rails to Trails".
Actually, people have been traveling above the tunnell for decades. "If you're on I-64, you go right on top of where it is," he says. "Skyline Drive, the Blue Ridge Parkway, and the Appalachian Trail all pass over the top of the tunnel."
The restored tunnel was dedicated in September, and will open by the end of this year. Once a hot spot for hazing by fraternities and sororities, it now will serve as destination and adventure unto itself.
"When you arrive at the tunnel, you see the portal alone that's north facing – and you're going back in time," says Andrew Pack, marketing director for Woolpert. "It's cool and damp like a cave – you can see the far end and as you walk through, the light gets bigger and bigger."
Surely, Claudius Crozet would be pleased with this 21st-century adaptive re-use for his 19th-century tunnel, an engineering triumph.
