Wiscasset businesses report better-than-expected tourist season
Pink's Eats, amongst different companies in downtown Wiscasset, reported a summer season with fewer vacationers on account of COVID-19 journey restrictions. Co-owner Debbie Gagnon mentioned she's grateful for the Mainers who helped them keep afloat throughout a attempting summer season. Kathleen O'Brien / The Occasions Document
WISCASSET — Small companies in downtown Wiscasset are feeling the sting of misplaced income, however aren't doing as poorly as they anticipated after a vacationer season hobbled by COVID-19 restrictions.
Debbie Gagnon, co-owner of Pink's Eats, mentioned this season has been taxing on the landmark vacation spot for lobster rolls, which closed for the season final Saturday. She mentioned income has been down from the additional prices of COVID-19-related supplies and the smaller flock of out-of-state vacationers.
"I really feel that each one eating places and all within the hospitality business are struggling, whether or not you might be seasonal or year-round," mentioned Gagnon. "With the restrictions, we're all having a really robust yr. … I feel all of us simply need to get up from this nightmare known as COVID-19."
Gagnon declined to estimate how a lot income was misplaced this summer season however mentioned she needed to open over a month later than regular, which lower into earnings. On prime of that, prices akin to hand sanitizer, sanitizing wipes for visitors, masks for workers and visitors, and hiring a contractor to construct a wider counter to maintain patrons a secure distance from staff, ate into her income.
Greg Uthoff, co-owner of Birch House Furnishings and Items, known as Pink's Eats "a lightweight swap for downtown" due to the elevated foot site visitors he notices when it opens for the season.
Like Gagnon, Uthoff mentioned enterprise has slipped this yr, however declined to offer an estimate of income misplaced. He mentioned final summer season, wherever from 80 to 100 folks would go to the shop every day. This summer season, roughly 60 to 80 folks visited every day.
"It has been a tricky yr for everybody, however we're definitely doing higher than we thought we'd be doing," he mentioned.
Uthoff mentioned he seen a rise in tourism in July and August, that are normally the shop's busiest months, after Gov. Janet Mills lifted COVID-19 restrictions for a number of states within the Northeast.
Davison mentioned the quantity of leaf peepers is similar to years previous, which helped companies make up for the injury COVID-19 brought about within the spring.
"On common, I'd estimate companies are down about 40% this yr at finest," he mentioned. "We're doing about 60% of the enterprise we'd do in a standard yr, however we received't know for certain till the tip of the yr."
Maine's COVID-19 mandate requires out-of-state guests to quarantine for 14 days after coming into Maine or take a look at unfavourable for COVID-19 not than 72 hours previous to coming into the state. Vermont and New Hampshire have been exempted from this mandate efficient June 26, as they'd equally low COVID-19 instances. Guests from Connecticut, New York and New Jersey have been exempted from the journey mandate as of July 3, then Massachusetts adopted efficient Sept. 23.
Visitors counts from the Maine Division of Transportation mirror this enhance.
In accordance with Paul Merrill, Maine DOT, site visitors on Route 1 in Wiscasset was down by over 32,000 vehicles weekly, a 24% lower, within the first week of June in comparison with that point final yr. Within the first week of July this yr, site visitors was down by 18%, or over 24,000 vehicles weekly, in comparison with final yr.
Statewide site visitors dropped by about 50% in late March and early April, Merrill mentioned. Since then, it has slowly rebounded, however statewide vehicle-miles traveled stay down between 5% and 10% in comparison with final yr. This week, statewide site visitors is down 5.9% when in comparison with the identical week in 2019.
Chip Davison, chairman of the Wiscasset Space Chamber of Commerce, mentioned native companies reported extra patrons from Maine than they sometimes see, which helped many keep afloat when out-of-state have been barred.
"By July, August and September, companies had a pleasant uptick in vacationers from out of state," mentioned Davison. "Massachusetts was an enormous participant to be lacking they usually have been the final ones to be given entry to the state and that actually harm our companies. As soon as the Massachusetts restriction was lifted, there was a resurgence of people that got here to take pleasure in Wiscasset."
Kasey McNamara, proprietor of In The Clover boutique on Route 1, mentioned she noticed extra folks from Maine and New England than she anticipated.
"We sometimes see folks from the West Coast or Texas, however I didn't see anybody from the West Coast this summer season, it was actually solely New Englanders," she mentioned.
"The primary six months have been form of a wash as a result of we needed to be closed for 2 months then issues actually didn't begin taking place till mid-June," mentioned McNamara. "I lowered my expectation and thought this was going to be a horrible yr, nevertheless it hasn't been. It has been an excellent yr, and we're working onerous to attempt to maintain that momentum going."

I live in Portage county with my girlfriend, she moved in with me a little over 2years ago, leaving her family in Oconto county, about 100 miles away. The problem is her 18 year old son. He did not want to move here also because he did not want to leave all his friends and wanted to finish High school there, so he is staying with his dad ,which he has a fairly good relationship with. so my girl friend agreed, she had raised him the last 16 years by herself,reciving support from the father untill she moved. at that time, him and her went to the court house and stoped child support for him and reverced it to her, and at that time she had a good job working for a factory near there. when she moved here, she was able to keep that job because the shift that she worked enabled her to stay there with a friend to complete the shift , and then come home. she worked 3 twelve hour days, Friday threw Sunday and came home Monday morning after work and did not have to go back till Friday afternoon, a 132 mile drive from here. Now back in May, her friend had to move and my girl friend lost her place to stay, making it imposible to comute to work everyday ,so she was forced to quite. Her son turned 18 in November of 2005, he is still going to school but since she left, he does what he wants and is not doing well in school, she tryed to back to the court to get custidy of him again and move him in with us but the court said he was to close to 18 and could do nothing. since May she is behind on support and no way to pay it. jobs are hard to come by here , but she is trying. now they threating to take her car and revolk her Drivers lisc.I only make enough for us to get by, I could never afford a $400 a month payment, What do we do?

Legally, that has no bearing on her legal situation. The court has declined to assign her custody again. It's only for a few more months. She needs to get a job (if that means she moves back until he graduates from HS) to pay the support. This is not worth YEARS of payments and legal reprecussions.

Title : Characterization of Granitoids Adjoining Southern Part of Kadiri Schist Belt, Eastern Dharwar Craton, South India: Their Tectonic Implications.
Authors : P. Sreenivasulu, P. Padmasree
: 10.9790/0990-02210110
Abstract:The southern part of Kadiri Schist Belt is in juxtaposition with granitoids on either side which include TTG, TGM, and MS suites. The schist belt rocks and granitoids exhibit three phases of deformation. The granitoids are mainly medium to coarse grained and exhibit hypidiomorphic texture. Geochemical signatures suggest that the granitoids are magmatic, metaluminous, calc-alkaline and grouped under mixed origin. The field, mineralogical and chemical observations discriminate them as I-type. Petrogenetic studies indicate that polyphase polymigmatised TTG gneisses show the existence of older simatic crust which later gave rise to varied sialic crust in marginal basin environment. The calc-alkaline TGM suite points to magma mingling and mixing and fractional crystallization differentiation. The MS suite has evolved due to crustal anatexis and mantle derived melts.

Title : Geochemical Analyses of Domestic Groundwater Sources in Okeagbe-Akoko, Southwestern Nigeria
Authors : Muslim B. Aminu, Opemipo, O. Ajayi, Olusola G. Adelabu
Abstract: Geochemical analyses of domestic groundwater sources within Okeagbe-Akoko, South-western Nigeria have been conducted. A total of twenty (20) water samples, sourced from hand-dug wells, deep wells and streams, were analyzed for their physico-chemical characteristics, with the aim of determining their suitability for local domestic consumption. The physico-chemical analyses involved the determination of Electrical Conductivity (EC), Acidity (pH), Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) and the determination of the concentration of a heavy metals suite consisting of Zinc (Zn), Nickel (Ni), Cadmium (Cd), Copper (Cu), Lead (Pb), and Chromium (Cr), using the Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (AAS). Result ranges obtained for the physical parameters were pH: 5.82 to 7.08, total dissolved solids: 43 to 492 mg/l, and electrical conductivity: 71.681 to 820.164 μs/cm. The heavy metal concentrations for Cu and Zn ranged from 0.001 to 0.014 mg/l and 0.001 to 0.030 mg/l respectively. Ni, Cd, Pb and Cr were not detected in any of the water samples. All determined physico-chemical parameters were well below the current World Health Organization (WHO) acceptable limits for safe water sources. This indicates that the domestic water sources in the area are relatively contaminant free and safe for domestic use. The Cu2+ concentration distribution pattern however, provides insight into the likely nature of heavy metal contaminant migration path in the event of an impact.
Keywords: Domestic water sources, physico-chemical properties, water quality, Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (AAS), heavy metal concentration.

Title : Magnetic Studies of Kagoro and Environs, North Central Nigeria
Authors : Samaila Crah Alkali, Muhammad Hassan
Abstract: Magnetic data were compiled from four aeromagnetic maps. A submap for the study area was produced from the four magnetic sheets in an ILWIS environment. Magnetic intensity values vary between 32,600 and 33,160 nT. The lowest magnetic contour values closure is centred over the Kagoro granite rocks at the central part. This closure is structurally aligned along the NE – SW direction. Regional field values vary between7789.1 and 7896.6 mGal. The residual contour values range from -180 to +160 nT. The main closure of the residual map is located on the central part of the area. A slipper-shaded closure centred over the Kagoro Granite is oriented along the NNE – SSW direction. Some of the closures in the study area are aligned along the NE – SW and E – W directions. Patterns of the closures of the magnetic maps are in conformity with those of the Nigeria basement and younger granite rocks. Isolations and magnitudes of the closures suggest that the various rock bodies occur separately and at different levels. The regional fields along nine profiles were obtained by third degree polynomial fitting using OriginLab7 software so as to obtain the residuals used for the models. The residual anomalies were accounted for by Mag2dc (2.5D) algorithms. The four profiles that traversed the Kagoro younger granite complex were estimated at maximum thicknesses of 14.1, 15.2, 9.5 and 10.4 km. These suggest that the Kagoro younger granite complex was emplaced at depths between 9.5 and 15.2 km. The volcanic rocks and their associates were formed from depths between 4.7 and 13.0 km.

Title : Surface Resistivity Survey for Siting Shallow Boreholes within The 1000 Housing Estate, Maiduguri, Northeast Nigeria
Authors : Samaila Crah Alkali, Manaja Mijinyawa Uba
Abstract: Twenty five resistivity data points were sounded in the study area with an ABEM Terrameter. Maximum electric current half spacing attained for each point was 100 m. The raw data were interpreted with IX1D software. The X, Y, Z data file was imported into Surfer9 software for resistivity mapping and contouring using kriging interpolation algorithm. Isopach closures of the surface layer trend along NNE – SSW and NE – SW directions. The iso-ohmic map of the layer depicts compositions of sands, sands/gravels, and gravels. Thickness of the second layer ranges from 1 - 21 m and its resistivity values suggest sediments of argillaceous and arenaceous composition. The third layer isopach map indicates that sediments of intermediate values are sandwiched and partly sandwiched by thinner ones. Iso-ohmic map of the layer has clay lenses within sandy constituents. Isopach map of the fourth layer shows majority of the thinner sediments occurring along the west to the south directions. Thicker sediments are located at the northeast.
Keywords: Aquifer, borehole, isopach map, iso-ohmic map, lithology.

Title : Spectral Depths Estimate of Subsurface Structures in Parts of Borno Basin, Northeastern Nigeria, using Aeromagnetic Data
Authors : Ajana O., Udensi E. E., Momoh M., Rai J. K., Muhammad S. B.
Abstract: Spectral depth analysis of aeromagnetic data covering latitude 12.00'N to 13.00'N and longitude 10.00'E to 11.00'E which corresponds to part of Borno basin, Northeastern Nigeria, was carried out for the purpose of investigating the sedimentary thickness beneath the surface. The study area was covered by 4 aeromagnetic maps. The aeromagnetic maps were digitized on a 3km grid and later complied to produce a combined aeromagnetic data file for the area. The data file comprises 1369 data points. Polynomial fittings method was applied in the regional residual separation. The residual map was later sub-divided into 16 spectral sectors. The result of the study shows that the first layer depth was estimated to have a range from 0.18km to about 1.9km while the second layer depth was estimated to have ranged from 2.9km to about 4.2km. The highest sedimentary thickness of 4.2km occurred at the extreme northeast part of the study area and corresponds to areas around Gorgoram. These areas may be subjected for further geophysical method like seismic reflection/refraction, so as to ascertain its hydrocarbon potential.
Keywords: Aeromagnetic data, spectral, depth, sedimentary depth, first and second layer depth.

Title : Hydrochemical Studies of the Groundwater Resources of the Middle Zone Aquifer in the Southwestern Chad Basin
Authors : A. K. Yusuf, I. B.Goni, M. Hassan
Abstract: The groundwater of the Middle aquifer was collected to examine its characteristics. The chemistry of the water showed that it has SAR value of about 4.6 and EC is 667 Scm-1. This makes the water suitable as fresh water and can be used for irrigation. The results were presented in Richards and Piper's diagrams for easy visualization. The water samples plots in good and permissible water class with salinity hazards of medium – high salinity groups. While the water samples plots in the same region in the piper's diagram indicating that they are hydrogeologically connected and continuous. The chemical data recognized a water type classified as sodium bicarbonate type (Na + HCO3) facies where sodium is significant in its concentration; with cation and ions in the order of Na > Ca > K > Mg and HCO3 > CO3 > Cl > SO4 for drinking water quality.
Keywords: Groundwater, Salinity hazard, Hydrogeologically, Sodium bicarbonate, Facies.

Title : The Declining Middle Zone Aquifer of the Southwestern Chad Basin in the last Millenium
Authors : A. K. Yusuf, B. Goni, M. Hassan
Abstract: The Middle zone aquifer is the most extensive and most widely exploited of the three well known aquifers of the Chad Formation. This aquifer is confined by variable thickness of argillaceous deposits of 100 – 150 m thick. This led to the variable heads in boreholes drilled to this zone. Boreholes drilled from 1960 to 2010 shows a drastic decline in piezometric heads. The piezometric heads of over 20 m above ground level ( agl) observed in 1960 to 1.2 m agl in 2010 have declined over the last half century. In the present work the heads at 0.2 m/ year giving the present piezometric head at an average of 0.5 m agl. The lower heads in old boreholes are attributed due to siltation, encrustation and ageing of borehole. Furthermore, lack of present day recharge and poor borehole construction methods play a vital role in determining the piezometric head.

Title : Petrophysical Characteristics of Coastal Swamp Depobelt Reservoir in the Niger Delta Using Well-Log Data
Authors : Dieokuma Tamunosiki, Gu Han Ming, Liping Wang, Etim D. Uko, Warmate Tamunonengiyeofori
Abstract: Sonic, gamma ray, density and resistivity logs in the onshore Coastal Swamps of the Niger Delta are used in the determination of some petrophysical properties of the reservoir in the Coastal Swamp Depobelt in the Niger Delta. The parameters investigated were porosity, velocities, shear and compressional velocities, and Poisson's ratio. The results of the analysis show that the reservoir is 66m sandstone thick having porosity range of 0.21 – 0.39 with average of 0.26; density ranges between 2.01 and 2.30 with average of 2.21g/cc; Poisson's ratio range 0.33 – 0.45 with 0.40 as average value; shear-wave velocity Vs ranges from 718 to 1097 having average of 932.33 m/s, compressional-wave velocity Vp ranges from 2110 to 2570 with average of 2230m/s, Vp/Vs ratio ranges 1.96 – 3.18 with average value of 2.55; and Gamma-ray GR value ranges 62 – 105 having average of 90AP and Vs 718 m/s are indicative fluid-filled reservoir. The results of this work can be used for well drilling and petroleum production programmes, and for civil engineering work in the area of study.

Title : Petro physical analysis of among hydrocarbon field fluid and lithofaciesusing Well Log Data
Authors : Sonny Inichinbia, Peter O. Sule, Aminu L. Ahmed, HaliduHamza, Kolawole M. Lawal
Abstract:Petrophysical imaging of two reservoirs of Amangi hydrocarbon field of the Niger Delta of Nigeria was conducted based on crossplot analysis using AVO information from well log data of five appraisal wells in the field. The field consists of series of reservoirs stacked in channelized shoreface sands encased in shales. Two reservoirs H1000 and H4000 which constituted the first phase of development of this field formed the pivot of this study. Firstly, we extractedpetrophysical parameters such as P and S impedances, Lamé's parameters, etc. Secondly, appropriate pairs of rock attributes and properties were crossplotted so that common lithologies and fluid types cluster together for quick identification and interpretation.

Title : Well-to-seismic tie of Amangihydrocarbon field of the Niger Delta of Nigeria
Authors : Sonny Inichinbia, Peter O. Sule, Aminu L. Ahmed, Halidu Hamza
: 10.9790/0990-022197105
Abstract: In this paper we performed seismic-to-well tie and wavelet extraction that would subsequently be used for inversion. We took cognizance of the key factors that make for accurate well-to-seismic tie and ensured that the borehole seismic and the surface seismic at the borehole trajectory look as similar as possible. This was possible through quality control of the well log and seismic data, timing and log calibration, well tie location, seismic bandwidth and signal-to-noise ratio and the use of well tie diagnostics that underlie a successful close well tie. The data were processed to zero phase and the dominant loop in the resulting seismic wavelet was delayed and corresponds to an increase in P-impedance.

Title : Modelling the seismic responses of Amangihydrocarbon field using Gassmann fluid substitution
Abstract: We present a fluid substitution case study of Amangi hydrocarbon field applying Biot-Gassmann theory in which the changes in acoustic parameters (P- and S-wave velocities and density) were modelled. Shear wave velocity was predicted using Greenberg and Castagna empirical relationships between P-wave and S-wave velocities. The results of fluid substitution compare favorably to the available sidewall data. The amplitude character of seismic reflections varied with offset, due to changes in the angle of incidence. The wells on the field penetrated several stacked channelized shoreface sands of variable qualities at depths of 2,702 m and 2,919 m and with thicknesses of 89.05 m and 25.67 m respectively.

How to Pace Phrenic Nerve in Congenital Persistent Left Superior Caval Vein and Atresia of Right Superior Caval Vein?
Dr. Francesco Santoro, Department of Cardiology, Asklepios Klinik St. Georg, Lohmühlenstrasse 5, 20099, Hamburg, Germany.
A 68-year-old woman with symptomatic drug refractory paroxysmal atrial fibrillation and an implanted dual-chamber pacemaker was referred for cryoballoon atrial fibrillation ablation. Congenital persistent left superior caval vein and atresia of the right superior caval vein were known. After coronary sinus angiography, a decapolar catheter was advanced through the persistent left superior caval vein to the right subclavian vein (Figure 1A) and phrenic nerve capture was achieved with stimulation output of 12 mV and duration of 2.9 ms. Diaphragmatic contraction was proven with fluoroscopy and electrocardiographic monitoring, evaluating compound motor action potentials. Transseptal puncture was performed and left pulmonary veins were isolated with a single freeze cycle of 180 s for each vein. During continuous phrenic nerve capture (cycle length: 700 ms) (Figures 1B and 1C), the right pulmonary veins were isolated with a single freeze cycle of 180 s each. No phrenic nerve palsy occurred.
(A) A 6-F decapolar catheter (IBI Inquiry L-type, St. Jude Medical, St. Paul, Minnesota) was introduced into the coronary sinus until right subclavian vein after coronary sinus angiography was performed with a long 8.5-F sheath. Left anterior oblique view (40°). (B) Electrocardiographic monitoring of phrenic nerve capture using diaphragmatic contraction (compound motor action potential in lead D1, arrow) during freezing of the right superior pulmonary vein. (C) A 6-F decapolar catheter was positioned in the right subclavian vein for phrenic nerve capture during cryoballoon ablation at the right superior pulmonary vein (f). Right anterior oblique view (30°). (A, C) The labels show the (a) atrial pacemaker lead; (b) ventricular pacemaker lead; (c) long sheath positioned at the ostium of coronary sinus; (d) 6-F catheter positioned in the right subclavian vein; (e) esophageal temperature probe; and (f) cryoballoon positioned in the right superior pulmonary vein.
We report on the safety and feasibility of cryoballoon ablation for atrial fibrillation in a patient with congenital vein anomalies. Phrenic nerve palsy represents the most common complication of cryoablation during this procedure with an incidence of 2.7% in larger studies (1). However monitoring of phrenic nerve capture during freezing cycles at the right pulmonary veins (2) can potentially reduce this complication even in patients with complex cardiac anatomy.

Trade routes, both maritime and overland, were the primary means by which Buddhist thought and imagery were conveyed from India, the birthplace of Buddhism, to other Asian countries. These ancient connecting routes provided an avenue for the religious, cultural, and artistic influences of Buddhism to reach the distant corners of the continent and beyond. This essay, illustrated by objects from the Asia Society Museum's permanent collection, the Mr. and Mrs. John D. Rockefeller 3rd collection, provides a base for exploring the development of Indian Buddhist imagery and its interpretation and adaptation by other cultures along the trade routes. An examination of the works illustrated here will reveal some connections as well as distinctions between Indian Buddhist sculptures and their counterparts across Asia.
Buddhist images are remarkably recognizable, regardless of their country or period of origin. They are usually made according to descriptions found in Indian texts intended to help the practitioner mentally invoke the form of the deity. These texts provide the artist with the basic schema of the image, detailing what an image should look like, from the posture, gesture, and color of the deity, to the attributes (objects he or she holds that symbolize specific powers or knowledge). Further similarities that can be seen among the Buddhist objects in the Asia Society's collection stem from the tendency of artists working elsewhere to emulate Indian models. Coming from the homeland of Shakyamuni Buddha and his teachings, such models held religious authority. The most prominent differences of period or culture of origin are usually seen in the images' details of costume, hairstyle, jewelry, body type, and facial characteristics. However, as is evidenced by the array of styles represented by the objects in the collection, artists working outside India did not simply copy Indian models-they created their own distinctive works. The artistic result of a religion that spread thousands of miles across a multiethnic landscape is a corpus of images based on a similar set of beliefs but marked by regional personalities.

People at present would like to understand what the best insurance companies are if they're looking for insurance coverage for high networth people In just about any circumstance, it's dependent on what you are requirements are and that may finest meet them. All the most effective medical insurance corporations will typically offer a wide variety of plans to accommodate policyholders' wide range of budgets and desires. I'm 35 years old and in search of an individual Health Insurance coverage Policy for an insured sum of Rs. 5 lacs. I am writing a small article to show you which corporations provide well being care insurance in India. Mahesh-You possibly can verify Religare Joy Tomorrow", Star Wedding ceremony Reward Insurance" and likewise in Apollo, you can add maternity feature by paying some extra premium.
Apollo Munich Well being Insurance coverage gives the most effective health insurance plans in India in the present day, for men and women of any age. In addition, it received the honour of being the very best insurance company in the private common insurance coverage sector from the World HRD Congress on the 2014 BFSI Awards. I have my Firm policy cover for Mother and father Spouse & myself for 5 Lakhs. Molina Healthcare, one of many number one affordable health insurance companies, was founded by an emergency room physician, C. David Molina, MD, after he realized low-income, uninsured, and non-English talking patients have been using the emergency room for basic well being care.
Those in good well being typically go for a excessive deductible option in hopes that they by no means have to actually pay the deductible but would principally be coated if something major occurred. Nearly each sort of health care coverage you'll be able to imagine. The UnitedHealth Group uses its experience and resources in medical care to enhance the performance of the health care companies sector. The sad half about finding the most effective" health insurance firm is that there aren't that many.
Your non-public well being insurer should pay a minimum of 25% of the MBS charge. When an individual visits a physician, goes to the hospital, gets a prescription or receives other health companies, they should make a small co-payment that may typically range from $10-$25 in most cases. If I lived in Wheeling,, I might select from 14 plans on the federal well being alternate (utilized by many states, including West Virginia), all offered by a single insurer: Blue Cross Blue Shield.
Well being Plans of America is just not a well being insurer.
You are attempting to make sense of all the different medical insurance firms which might be accessible to you when shopping for medical insurance in Ohio. After visiting National health Insuarce's offce, they recommed that you just buy an insurance coverage through banks and that would be with out a medical check up so they could avoid paper work and we may avoid medical exams although I'm positive getting medical tests in order that we get it right.

Czar Bar hosts night of salty rockers with Broncho / The Empty Spaces / Interstate Astronauts
Fally Afani

On Friday night, the Czar Bar boasted a lineup worthy of any local music lover's attention. The evening was filled with music from hard-as-nails rockers who love a good party, and there was a strong Lawrence presence in this venue.
After golden-voiced Kansas City singer-songwriter Eric Murphy started the night off with his solo act, we were introduced to a tenacious bundle of local rockers.
Interstate Astronauts, a salty group of swearing sailors, arrived with their twangy tunes about whiskey, laced with impressive piano solos. The band was surly and abrasive, yet at the same time warm and inviting. They're exactly the type of band you'd want on the stage of your hometown bar. Every now and then, their saucy tambourine player (clad in a jumpsuit) would wiggle his hips with just a hint of sass.
The Empty Spaces were louder than ever, scootin' and maneuvering all over the stage. This is really just the best kind of party surf rock. Frontman Mat Shoare's scratchy vocals are unique and stunning. Even during songs where he doesn't sing, the band is a riot. The crowd really got into it, and started dancing toward the end of the set. "We noticed there are a lot more girls than usual," said Shoare. "Thanks, Broncho!"
Broncho, an Oklahoma-based band, has been hauling out a series of quick tours. Friday night was the first stop on their West Coast tour, and they came packed with a full dose of energy. The band gained a lot of notoriety for their stellar album, Can't Get Past The Lips, but on Friday they brought a handful of new tunes for their next album.
It doesn't take much for a band of this magnitude to get crowds excited. The short bursts of punk-infused rock are wildly thrilling, so anything from a simple hop on stage to a kick from the bassist can easily get the crowd going. The rockers flailed, jumped, and gyrated so much, the stage floor started shaking. They powered through their set, and every single pair of eyes in that place remained fixated on the stage through the very end.

AB Handshake AI Shield detects voice fraud attacks in real-time
The telecom industry has long been under the threat of fraud. While traditional fraud management systems (FMS) have managed to stop some fraud attacks, there hasn't been a comprehensive solution. AB Handshake presented AI Shield, an AI-based FMS that eliminates voice fraud attacks in real-time on all inbound and outbound traffic on an operator's network.
The impact of fraud is summarised by the $39.9 bln lost annually to telcos worldwide, and this number keeps rising. The FCC is actively involved in the fight against global telecom fraud, with a special focus on robocalls. To mitigate this threat, AB Handshake has combined ML and Big Data technology in its latest product, AI Shield. This solution hits a new standard of 97% accuracy in detecting and preventing all major voice fraud types.
Inside AI Shield
AI & ML: identifies telecom fraud patterns and spots well-disguised attacks early on.
Real-time monitoring: detects and alerts or blocks attacks before they strike.
Complex system based on 200+ parameters: mitigates all major fraud types.
AI Shield's immediate benefits:
Saves time and money by stopping fraud in real time.
AI Shield's engine has been trained on vast volumes of retail and wholesale voice traffic and delivers the highest level of fraud detection accuracy on the market.
Increases revenue by avoiding service denial. The built-in IVR module warns you when calling high-risk number ranges.
Instant flexibility with a user-friendly interface, allowing customization for alerting, blocking, and reports.
AI Shield is an all-in-one solution for voice fraud protection, delivering amazing cost savings from day one by preventing fraudulent calls in real-time and stopping revenue loss. It provides businesses with much greater telecom fraud protection than other FMSs at a lower cost with almost seamless integration into the default settings of a business's current network.

LP in gatefold sleeve with spot varnish; includes CD. Andrea Tirone aka Mind Enterprises follows his 2013 debut EP, My Girl (BEC 5161371), with Idealist, his debut album. Idealist encompasses the electronic sounds of Todd Terje, the disco of West-African inspiration William Onyeabor, and the rhythms of seminal New York post-punks Liquid Liquid. The album was partly inspired by a chance discovery of some music on a hard drive given to Tirone by Liquid Liquid vocalist Salvatore Principato, after the two crossed paths in 2011 when Principato produced an EP for Tirone's previous band. "I was looking for something to inspire me," recalls Tirone. "So I plugged it in and suddenly there were all these amazing sounds."

Huyton College was an independent day and boarding school for girls founded in England in 1894 as the sister school to Liverpool College with which it merged on 27 July 1993, a few months short of its 100th birthday. The Liverpool College for Girls, Huyton, as it was originally known, was started in 1894 and intended to be parallel to the Liverpool College Boys' Upper School. It catered for girls between the ages of 4 and 18. In its early days, and towards the end of its time based at Huyton Hall before the merger, it also took day boys up to the age of seven. The school is mentioned in the book The Wildcats of St Trinian's by Frank Launder.

Motto
Fideliter fortiter feliciter (Faithful, happy, brave)

School buildings and grounds
The main school administration was based in Huyton Hall with some classrooms in the adjoining building, which was called Fernwood. Huyton Hall and Fernwood  had previously owned by a member of the Beecham family. Within the grounds there were extensive gardens, playing fields set up as lacrosse pitches, a large sports hall, tennis and netball courts, a cricket pitch, a swimming pool, extensive laboratories, an art room with kiln, an extensive music suite with practice rooms, a domestic science kitchen, needlework room, secretarial training suite, school bookshop and a large sanatorium. There was also a large school hall with stage, professional lighting and a Bechstein grand piano, a fiction library and a large panelled reference library where older girls would study during free periods. The Orchard was the main access road through the grounds, which was a public right of way and which effectively divided the school site into two. The headmistress lived on site in Greenhill, a house originally inhabited by Lord and Lady Cozens-Hardy. Some other members of staff lived on site from time to time.

The main school buildings were predominantly mid-Victorian converted domestic homes (with original bell pulls, claw foot baths and servants' staircases still in place in a lot of cases).  Large building programmes had taken place in the 1930s, 1960s and 1980s to extend the school. The school buildings and grounds have now been redeveloped into private residential housing.  The four main boarding houses are now residential homes for the elderly.

Boarding
At the time of its closure, the main boarding house names were St Hilda's (named after Hilda of Whitby), St Mary's (named after the mother of Christ), St Margaret's (named after the devout Scottish queen), and St Clare's (named after the founder of the religious order of the Poor Clares). Previously there had also been other boarding houses, including St. Joan's, St Bride's and the houses for prep school pupils, St Anne's (boarding) and St Catherine's (main preparatory school teaching building). During the mid-20th century there was a further boarding house outside the school compound, at the bottom of the hill, called St Helena's, where, whenever possible, children whose parents lived abroad were housed, so that they felt they were 'going home' at the end of the school day. Sixth formers were housed at The Grange. In the last 20 years or so of the school's presence in Huyton, day girls had access to the boarding houses and their common rooms during their lunch hours, so they could feel fully part of the extended school community. Boarding houses were staffed by a housemistress and a relief housemistress who would provide cover during the main housemistress's 24-hour period off each week. By the late 1970s, approximately 25 boarders belonged to each boarding house, although they did their homework (known as prep) in the main school building and took their meals in the main school dining room in Huyton Hall and at Fernwood.

Uniform
In the early days of the school, girls wore long dark skirts and white blouses. By the 1960s, the school uniform was divided into two seasons, winter and summer. It was available from George Henry Lee, a branch of John Lewis based in Liverpool. The winter attire was a blue Harris tweed coat, and skirt specially woven for the school in Scotland, and nylon, later cotton, sky blue blouse, a navy tie and a Navy blue wool sweater. A felt 'pudding bowl' hat was also worn in the winter. A black full length wool cloak with a cowl hood lined in felt with individual house colours was also part of the uniform (red for St Hilda's, yellow for St Margaret's, green for St. Mary's and blue for St. Clare's), worn by both boarders and day girls to keep them warm whilst running back and forth from houses.  The summer uniform was a black wool blazer, cotton Calpreta print dress (again in house colours) and a straw boater with blue trim.

School chapel and choir
The centre of spiritual life in the school was the chapel, with its Royal School of Church Music registered choir. Canon Donald Gray was the School Chaplain in the 1970s and early 1980s; he became the Rector of Liverpool and then Chaplain of the House of Commons, Rector of St Margaret's, Westminster and Chaplain to the Queen, and was well known in the Church of England for leading the 1980s rewrite of the Order of Communion service, amongst others. The school chapel was used on a daily basis for both morning prayer and until the late 1970s, evensong (for the boarders), as well as Sunday services, baptisms and confirmations, and choral concerts. The chapel choir recorded albums in the late 1970s  and late 1980s, and appeared on television during the semi-finals of the National School Choir Competition in 1983.

World War II evacuation
During the Second World War, the girls were relocated to Blackwell House in the Lake District.

The Comedy of Errors
A star cast including Judi Dench, Michael Williams, Roger Rees, Francesca Annis and Nickolas Grace features in a joyfully exuberant Royal Shakespeare Company production of one of Shakespeare s best-loved comedies. Conceived by Trevor Nunn, this musical presentation at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon is a carefree romp in which collapsing chairs, squirting soda siphons, funky wigs, uncompromising couplets and outrageous puns abound.
The production features music by composer Guy Woolfenden, who received an Olivier Award for Best New Musical for the show s London production, and dance routines by world-renowned choreographer Gillian Lynne; Francesca Annis won a BAFTA award for her role as Luciana. The play itself is a comedy of mistaken identities involving two sets of twins. With their twin servants, they are separated in a shipwreck and thrown together by chance, and the plot twists and turns in total confusion!


You can decorate your home using all tricks and hacks from the interior design book, but if you don't get this one thing right, everything falls to water. You may not understand the value of lighting over the furniture and paint colors, but this "small detail" can make or break the design. Lighting helps every room meet its function, but it also sets the mood and creates the atmosphere inside the house. It is vital for the appearance of colors and the final look of the interior. So, if you now realize why the interior lighting should be on point, here are some tips that will help you illuminate your home perfectly.
Ambient or general lighting layer provides overall illumination and adequate visibility of the entire space. Typically, it is created by ceiling fixtures, such as chandeliers, pendants, troffers, and recessed lights. While essential, this layer is pretty uniform, and the next two are the ones giving character to the interior design.
Accent lighting is mostly decorative because it highlights the points of interest in your home. Those features can be bookshelves, architectural features, artwork, or anything else you want to make more prominent by illuminating it. Types of fixtures usually used for this layer are track lighting, wall sconces, uplighting, and LED tape lighting.
Task lighting illuminates specific areas where you carry out certain tasks. The type and power of the lights will depend on the activity that is done in the area. Commonly used fixtures for task illumination are desk lamps, table lamps, floor lamps, bathroom vanity lights, under-cabinet lighting, and pendant lights.
When doing any type of remodeling project in your home, a pen and a paper are your best friends. They will help you establish a budget, draw a sketch of your home, and determine the position of light fixtures. You should also pick a theme and style to follow (e.g. Scandinavian, Mediterranean, etc.). Your plan should also include considerations for the contractor, as you shouldn't tamper with electricity on your own. In some countries, such as Australia, doing your own electrical work is illegal. That's why Aussies have a professional emergency electrician on their speed dial when they're doing these types of works.
Treat your hallway with a statement fixture, such as a large chandelier, and place one table or floor lamp near the mirror.
Set the stage in your living room with a talking-point ceiling fixture, illuminate the bookshelves and artwork, and use floor and table lamps for reading spots.
The dining room light should be the centerpiece of the room, and unless your dining room is huge or you have artwork displayed on the walls, you can get away with nothing but a general lighting fixture.
As the area of all functions, the kitchen deserves adequate lighting. Use a light layering method by including all layers of lighting, but focusing the most on tasks, to improve your room's versatility.
The bathroom has several important points to illuminate: the mirror, the vanity, and the shower/bath area.
The bedroom lighting concept has four must-haves: ceiling lights with dimmer switches, reading lights on both sides of the bed, night lighting for the en-suite or on the undersides of the bed, and personal style to truly make it your sanctuary.
In the end, there are two more things to consider. Wherever you can, go with energy-efficient options and hues that are close to natural light. Don't make style compromises, unless you have to. Your home should be the reflection of your personality, and this must be visible in its every aspect, even the lighting, so feel free to unleash your creativity.

AC Supplier Suing Neonopolis for Non-Payment
LAS VEGAS-The breach of contract lawsuit comes one month after the movie theater closes, leaving very few stores operating in the 250,000-square-foot complex.
By Brian K. Miller | June 22, 2009 at 05:40 PM
LAS VEGAS-A lawsuit has been added to the troubles of Neonopolis, a 250,000-square-foot retail and entertainment complex fronting the Fremont Street Experience in Downtown Las Vegas. Just weeks after the only remaining significant tenant–a movie theater—closed its doors, the company with the cooling contract for the development has sued Neonopolis for breach of contract and unjust enrichment among other things.
The company with the cooling contract is E. Three Custom Energy Solutions, which is owned by Ameresco Inc. of Framingham, MA. The owners of Neonopolis are FAEC Wirrulla Holdings LLC and Wirrulla Hayward LLC, both of which are controlled by Wirrulla USA Inc. or its ownership, which includes Dharmesh Bhanabhai. Wirrulla official Rohit Johsi operates the property, which is largely empty.
The lawsuit claims that Neonopolis stopped paying for E. Three's chilled water cooling services in September 2008 despite a three-year-old, 20-year contract it inherited in 2006 when it acquired the under-performing complex for $25 million, one-quarter of what it cost to develop just a few years earlier. E. Three shut off service in November but waited until earlier this month to file the lawsuit, hoping to resolve things with Wirrulla. The bill now totals nearly $300,000, including interest and penalties.
Joshi tells GlobeSt.com that the contract calls for ownership to pay for the cooling, the cooling system itself and for the capacity of the system, which was costing $60,000 per month. So even without the system operating he's still being charged $30,000 per month. Neonopolis can no longer afford the bill, he says, because there are no longer enough tenants in the development onto which he can pass the costs.
"Even though the agreement was signed that way we want a release for various reasons," Joshi says. "First, we are not using any HVAC at all and I can't pay the [facility and capacity charges] under the circumstances. Secondly, they've been paid [facility and capacity] charges for seven years; they've already been paid more than the system is worth. So something was not done right [with regard to the contract] and all we are asking for is relief on the capacity and facility charges."
The breach of contract claim is for not paying its bill; the unjust enrichment claim is for not passing along the monies tenants paid the building owners for the cooling services. E. Three also accuses Neonopolis of breaching the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing by "leading [it] to believe at all relevant times that the defendant would pay for the services contracted for and received; offering false excuses and justifications for failing to pay…; and engaging in stalling and delay tactics under the pretext of working to resolve the unpaid invoices… ."
E. Three claims it was justified in shutting off service because Joshi previously asserted that Neonopolis "has no intention of complying with their obligations under the service agreement." Moreover, due to said "anticipatory breach of contract," E. Three asserts that it is entitled not only to all amounts past due but also all future amounts due for the remainder of the 20-year contract. A representative of E. Three could not be reached Monday afternoon for additional comment and Joshi had to end his interview with GlobeSt.com before he could respond specifically to the allegations.
"I can see their point of view, we have a contract. We are at an impasse," Joshi says, generally speaking. "The last two years I've been telling them I was ready to buy the system from them and [at one point] they were willing to sell but [it didn't happen]. We've been paying for three years now and we just can't do it anymore. It is a sign of the times."
Looking ahead, Joshi tells GlobeSt.com that the solution to Neonopolis' huge vacancy is a new Star Trek Experience attraction that is now scheduled to open all at once sometime next year. At one point the plan was to open a portion of the new venue at the same time the new movie came out last month but that was nixed in favor of opening the whole thing in one fell swoop next year, he says.
"That's the savior of the whole project," he says. "Not only the project but also for Downtown. They need more entertainment."

Q: SKPhysicsBody.area of a polygon not correct? I am trying to calculate the area of a polygon in Swift and it seems that it cannot calculate the area of it correctly.
So i tried it with this code to show you that it calculate the same area - even if one of this two areas should only have 75% of the other one:

    let tmp_size = 100
    var path = CGMutablePath()
    path.move(to: CGPoint(x: 0, y: 0))
    path.addLine(to: CGPoint(x: 0, y: tmp_size / 2  ))
    path.addLine(to: CGPoint(x: tmp_size / 2, y: tmp_size / 2))
    path.addLine(to: CGPoint(x: tmp_size / 2, y: tmp_size   ))
    path.addLine(to: CGPoint(x: tmp_size    , y: tmp_size   ))
    path.addLine(to: CGPoint(x: tmp_size    , y: 0      ))
    path.closeSubpath()
    var pb = SKPhysicsBody(polygonFrom: path)
    print("AREA: \(pb.area * pow(150, 2))")

    path = CGMutablePath()
    path.move(to: CGPoint(x: 0, y: 0))
    path.addLine(to: CGPoint(x: 0, y: tmp_size))
    path.addLine(to: CGPoint(x: tmp_size, y: tmp_size))
    path.addLine(to: CGPoint(x: tmp_size, y: 0))
    path.closeSubpath()
    pb = SKPhysicsBody(polygonFrom: path)
    print("AREA2: \(pb.area * pow(150, 2))")

Output:
AREA: 10000.000409781933
AREA2: 10000.00074505806
Is this a known bug?
Anyway, i need a function (ideally in swift, but all other languages are welcome) of how to calculate an area of a polygon.
Any help would be appreciated!
if this makes things easier:
my polygon has only 90-degree-angles, so i could split it into rectangles (if i would know how to do it)
Many thanks for your help!

A: Solution for iOS12.4 / XCode 10.3 / Swift 5:
First, add this extension into you code, to extract the CGPoints of the path into an array:
extension CGPath {
    func forEach( body: @escaping @convention(block) (CGPathElement) -> Void) {
        typealias Body = @convention(block) (CGPathElement) -> Void
        let callback: @convention(c) (UnsafeMutableRawPointer, UnsafePointer<CGPathElement>) -> Void = { (info, element) in
            let body = unsafeBitCast(info, to: Body.self)
            body(element.pointee)
        }
        //print(MemoryLayout.size(ofValue: body))
        let unsafeBody = unsafeBitCast(body, to: UnsafeMutableRawPointer.self)
        self.apply(info: unsafeBody, function: unsafeBitCast(callback, to: CGPathApplierFunction.self))
    }
    func getPathElementsPoints() -> [CGPoint] {
        var arrayPoints : [CGPoint]! = [CGPoint]()
        self.forEach { element in
            switch (element.type) {
            case CGPathElementType.moveToPoint:

            default: break
            }
        }
        return arrayPoints
    }

    path.addLine(to: CGPoint(x: tmp_size / 2, y: tmp_size   ))
    path.addLine(to: CGPoint(x: tmp_size    , y: tmp_size   ))
    path.addLine(to: CGPoint(x: tmp_size    , y: 0      ))
    path.closeSubpath()
    var pb = SKPhysicsBody(polygonFrom: path)

    print("area1: \(getAreaFromPolygon(path: path))")

    path = CGMutablePath()
    path.move(to: CGPoint(x: 0, y: 0))
    path.addLine(to: CGPoint(x: 0, y: tmp_size))
    path.addLine(to: CGPoint(x: tmp_size, y: tmp_size))
    path.addLine(to: CGPoint(x: tmp_size, y: 0))
    path.closeSubpath()
    pb = SKPhysicsBody(polygonFrom: path)

    print("area2: \(getAreaFromPolygon(path: path))")

And last, my function to calculate the area of the polygon (in CGPoints):
func getAreaFromPolygon (path: CGMutablePath) -> Double {
    // get an array of the CGPoints of this path
    let PathArray = path.getPathElementsPoints()

    // store all CGPoint.x into an array
    var xArray = [Int]()
    for PosX in PathArray {
        xArray.append(Int(PosX.x))
    }

    // store all CGPoints.y into an array
    var yArray = [Int]()
    for PosY in PathArray {
        yArray.append(Int(PosY.y))
    }

    // calculate the area
    var area = 0.0
    for i in 0..<PathArray.count {
        let firstPart = Double((yArray[i] + yArray[(i+1) % PathArray.count]))
        let secondPart = (xArray[i] - xArray[(i+1) % PathArray.count])
        area += Double(firstPart) * Double(secondPart)
    }
    area = abs(area) / 2.0
    return area
}

(was in Java, but i translated it into Swift 5)
note: i divided the formula into two sections (fristPart and secondPart) since it was too complex for Xcode to check
btw, my output is:
area1: 7500.0
area2: 10000.0

which is correct, since area1 ist 75% from the area2.
P.S.: i only have polygons of rectangles, but it should also work with any polygons (except maybe polygons with intersecting lines)

A: This is a supplement to ma2412's answer for efficiency.
He is using what is called the shoelace formula.
The code has been modified to remove needless looping and the modulus
func getAreaFromPolygon (path: CGMutablePath) -> Double {
    // get an array of the CGPoints of this path
    var Array = path.getPathElementsPoints()
    Array.append(Array[0])
    // calculate the area
    var area = 0.0
    for i in 0..<Array.count - 1 {
        let firstPart = Double(Array[i].y + Array[i+1].y)
        let secondPart = Double(Array[i].x - Array[i+1].x)
        area += firstPart * secondPart
    }
    return (abs(area) / 2.0)
}

A beauteous poem: Wild Leaves from Patti Smith. As music: here is a video version of the song Wild Leaves. This is from a songwriter I know to respect, but hadn't really discovered until very recently.
They light up the yard like a dance floor. Where is Tony Manero when you need him?
So, here's to rock memoirs, annoying song lyrics web pages, devotion, book suggestions from friends, inspiration, gateway rhythms, the Rolling Stone record guide (circa 1983), and YouTube.
Some reading recommendations for you, today: Patti Smith's "Just Kids", and Keith Richards' "Life". Drink it up!
Next ›Ok, winter, I'm ready.

Name of the original practice to be transferred
Career Planning for Dynamic Economies – Selfie
Specific context where the practice has already been implemented/ applied
(2014- 2016, Erasmus+/ Strategic Partnerships). The aim of the SELFIE project was to develop a new model of career planning education that supports the acquisition of key skill sets among school aged students to enable independent career planning beyond formal education environments and to support teachers to facilitate the learning of students in a range of different learning environments.
The curriculum was piloted in the schools of partner countries. It was introduced to teachers in Lithuania as well.
Conditions of the original practice
The ever-changing nature of the European employment landscape demands a high -level of flexibility and adaptability in the workforce. The emphasis now is on employability and adaptability, on upgrading skill sets to keep pace with change. In this new reality, career planning and development is no longer viewed as a linear process and more emphasis is now placed on nonlinear, chance and unplanned influences. In this way SELFIE developed outcomes support the strategic objective of the Education & Training 2020 framework by helping to improve the quality and efficiency of education and training through the development of career planning teaching that is more appropriate for Europe's dynamic and knowledge based economy.
Structures of the original practice
There were developed a career planning subject framework incorporating introductory, intermediate and advanced levels that helps students to develop the necessary skills to enable them to construct their own self-portrait and career progression pathway and update it as required throughout their working life.
They are for use in vocational guidance- allowing the student to discover and learn more about themselves, their interests and aptitudes and the world of work. They aim to allow the student to reflect upon their interests in order to help them decide on a future career they may be interested in.
Suggestions on how these will transfer to the new context
The curriculum can be flexibly modified for a specific audience having different levels of competence and educational background. JKC suggests the curriculum that is designed to guide and support young people with innovative career planning methods and strategies, decision -making process and train them lifelong career management skills.
The topics that can be covered within this curriculum:
Personal profile/SWOT analysis
Personal presentation
The world of work and study
Realization and planning for a job. Top trends in work life.
Emotional awareness and intelligence
Decision making and goal setting
Work experience. The expectations of business life from young people.
The curriculum combines theoretical and practical aspects. Individual tasks are correlated with group tasks.
