LED Architectural are part of the leading edge LED lighting development. These are available in S14S and S14D Opal and Clear. LED lamps offer potential savings in energy due to the small amount of power they use often as low as 1 or 2 watts. The capital outlay is offset by the life of these lamps and many last 20 or 30 times longer than the equivalents they replace.

Most people these days use at least one music streaming service. Whether it's Pandora, Spotify, Amazon Prime Music, or another, there are plenty of great options to choose from.
One downside to premium services like these is you typically have to pay a monthly fee, and who wants to accumulate more bills? Not only that but what if you're in a severe weather, or domestic terrorism situation and need to listen to breaking news reports? You'll need to turn to the good-ole terrestrial radio for that.
The problem with that is you might not be near a radio or power could be down and your radio doesn't work. Which is why it would be nice to access FM radio with our smartphone. Unfortunately, many phone manufacturers are blocking access to FM radio. Good news, that's about to change.
Samsung phones have hardware that supports FM radio reception, however the feature wasn't available on its unlocked Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus when they were released. That's because they were missing the needed NAB FM API.
As always, it's a good idea to update your gadgets whenever one is available. Not just so you can listen to FM radio but also to get security patches, and there are security patches in this update.
Most technology has so far targeted mainly our sense of sight and sound. Soon, we may be able to sense, transmit, and receive smell through the internet. Applications range from virtual reality to online shopping. Listen to what the future of your digital life holds for your nose. It's fun and exciting!

In a sluggish economy- time to rock the Croc!
It's a really smart move for consumers to buy a great quality, exotic bag for a discounted price, in fact… it's a fantastic investment! The exotic Louis Vuitton monogram Delft that we've got listed is such an amazing limited edition (discontinued) piece! The Louis Vuitton exotic Delft was an instant hit when it was released and they are extremely rare on the secondary market. It's listed at almost $1000 below retail. Many discontinued limited edition pieces actually sell for more than retail, and this piece will continue to increase in value. It's a real investment piece!!!
A nice pre-owned authentic luxury Chanel Crocodile Jumbo Flap that retailed for about $28,000 is available on our website right now for almost half that… almost $14,000 off retail!


Manufacturers have a choice of materials for the nonwoven fabrics they incorporate into final products. It's important to consider all the features and benefits of synthetic vs. natural fibers before making a final selection for nonwoven products. But how do you make the choice? Well, that all depends on the fabric characteristics you need for your final product.
First, you need to understand what types of fiber choices you have. The majority of manufacturers producing nonwovens with natural fibers choose cotton. While this choice is often selected for its softness and purity, cotton production (and associated costs) is tied to weather and agricultural trends.
Synthetic, oil-based fibers are an alternative to cotton. Polypropylene, polyester and rayon (viscose) are three main synthetic choices for nonwoven fabrics. All are solid players in bedding, fiberfill, construction, roofing, automotive and filtration industry applications.
All fibers not the same length. Diameters vary from 3 to 8 micronaires.
Cut to any desired length. Can be made to almost any denier.
Overall a weaker fiber but can be strengthened by blending with synthetic fibers.
Not very subjective to melting but can burn if not chemically treated.
Can melt at higher temperatures but can be chemically treated for flame retardancy.
Can be manufactured to be absorbent for specific applications.
Prone to shrinkage and stretching.
Resistant to crease, stretching and shrinkage.
Can adapt to use less material which ultimately requires less energy.
Whether you opt for natural or synthetic fibers in your end-use product, consider the application and the characteristics your nonwoven must have. Synthetic fibers are often more adaptable than natural fibers but, ultimately, the final product application should lead you to your final decision. Discuss your options with your nonwoven manufacturer to determine the best raw materials for your product.

Q: Symmetry in elliptical orbit according to Noether's theorem Noether's theorem suggests that every differential symmetry of a physical system has a corresponding conservation law. For example, a free particle in space has translational symmetry and therefore its linear momentum is conserved. Also a satellite revolving around a planet in a circular orbit has a rotational symmetry and hence its angular momentum is conserved about its centre of rotation. My question is that if we take the elliptical orbit of planetary motion instead of circular motion, its angular momentum is also conserved about an axis on one of its foci and perpendicular to the plane of motion. What is the associate continuous symmetry of this system?

A: In general, there are 3 types of symmetries:

*

*Symmetry of an action.

*Symmetry of an EOM.

*Symmetry of solutions to an EOM.
They are not necessarily the same cf. this Phys.SE post. E.g. 3D rotations are not a symmetry of an elliptic orbit, but they are a symmetry of the action for the Kepler problem. Noether's theorem then predicts that the angular momentum is conserved on-shell.

A: If I understand your geometry properly, its that the semi-major axis can be rotated around your symmetry axis without changing $\vec L$ or $E$.
For an excellent exposition of symmetry and orbital motion, see John Baez's web page at UCR.

Deptford was launched in 1781 as an East Indiaman. She made six apparently uneventful voyages for the British East India Company (EIC) before she was sold in 1807 for breaking up.

Career

EIC voyage #1 (1781–1783)
Captain James Elkington sailed from Plymouth on 26 June 1781, bound for Madras and Bengal.  Deptford was at Annabon on 10 September and St Helena on 17 October. She reached Madras on 31 March 1782 and arrived at Kedgeree on 27 May. Homeward bound, she left Bengal on 26 December, reached St Helena on 29 March 1783, and arrived at Long Reach on  28 August.

EIC voyage #2 (1785–1786)
Captain John Gerrard sailed from Portsmouth on 17 April 1785, bound for Madras and Bengal. Deptford was at Johanna on 7 August, reached Madras on 11 September and Diamond Creek on 14 October, and arrived at Kedgeree on 26 December. Homeward bound, she was at Saugor on 6 March 1786, reached St Helena on 13 June, and arrived at Gravesend on 15 August.

EIC voyage #3 (1787–1789)
Captain Gerrard sailed from The Downs on 21 December 1787, bound for Bombay and China. Deptford reached Bombay on 28 May and arrived at Whampoa anchorage on 17 October. Homeward bound, she crossed the Second Bar on 25 January 1789, reached St Helena on 10 June, and arrived at Long Reach on 25 August.

EIC voyage #4 (1791–1792)
Captain Gerrard sailed from The Downs on 16 April 1791, bound for Madras, Bencoolen, and Bengal. Deptford reached Madras on 4 July and Bencoolen on 11 September; she arrived at Diamond Harbour on 1 November. Homeward bound, she was at Saugor on 25 December and Madras on 2 January 1792, reached St Helena on 30 March, and arrived at Purfleet on 21 May.

EIC voyage #5 (1793–1794)
War with France had broken out so Captain John Gerrard acquired a letter of marque on 18 May 1793. He sailed from Portsmouth on 7 July 1793, bound for Bengal. Deptford arrived at Diamond Harbour on 18 November. Homeward bound, she was at Saugor on 20 February 1794, reached St Helena on 1 May and Galway Bay on 20 July, and arrived at Long Reach on 1 September.<ref group=Note>Gerrard's next command was [[Fortitude (1780 EIC ship)|Pitt]].</ref>

EIC voyage #6 (1795–1797)
Captain William Macnamara acquired a letter of marque on 15 April 1795. He sailed from Portsmouth 24 May 1795, ultimately bound for China.  Deptford was part of a convoy of Indiamen that were bringing General Alured Clarke and his troops for the invasion of the Cape Colony.Deptford and the fleet arrived at St Salvadore on 7 July.
 Deptford sailed on 13 July, together with the other Indiamen, and under the escort of . However, Sphinx ran into Warren Hastings and both vessels returned to port, Exeter accompanying them.Deptford and the fleet reached  Simon's Bay on 3 September. Deptford was at the Cape on 2 October.

After her service at the Cape was over, Deptford resumed her voyage and reached Whampoa on 6 March 1796. Homeward bound, she crossed the Second Bar on 21 June, reached St Helena on 20 November, and arrived at Long Reach on 15 February 1797.

FsateDeptford'' was sold in 1797.

MetMin is our area's only "emergency room" for social services. Three days a week people from all over Chattanooga and North Georgia line up for urgent help paying bills. But we can only help so many people each day.
Your support will help MetMin open the doors to the next person in line.
Metropolitan Ministries began as a mission venture of the Episcopal Commission of Southeast Tennessee in 1979, operating out of Christ Church, a local downtown parish. The founders' goal was to answer the calls for emergency financial assistance to those in our community who just can't make it, for whatever reasons. Partnering with other developing initiatives, new organizations were created collaboratively to provide a safety-net for those among us who had exhausted all other options.
Food vouchers to the Chattanooga Area Food Bank (available only on Mondays & Tuesdays).
On-site Grocery Store for seniors available only on Wednesdays.
Access to other community resources.

The home gain exclusion and important things to consider that may impact your eligibility and the amount of gain you are able to exclude under this provision.
Death and taxes—these are the only certainties in life. Yet, while the IRS rarely misses an opportunity to take a piece of your pie, there are several provisions in the federal tax code that are designed to give homeowners a break. One of these provisions is the home gain exclusion, also frequently referred to as the primary residence exclusion. Many individuals fail to understand the details and requirements of the home gain exclusion and, as a result, they fail to take advantage of this option or underutilize its potential benefits.
In this article, we will explore some common questions concerning the home gain exclusion and important things to consider that may impact your eligibility and the amount of gain you are able to exclude under this provision. It is important to consult a financial advisor and/or certified public accountant (CPA) to discuss your individual circumstances and eligibility for this significant tax benefit.
What is the home gain exclusion?
If you sell your home for an amount greater than your adjusted basis in the home—your initial investment adjusted by various factors like improvements to the home—you have a capital gain that the IRS wants to know about. Capital gains are subject to a special tax, creatively known as a capital gains tax. Unsurprisingly, financially savvy individuals try to take advantage of every exclusion or opportunity that the tax code allows to avoid paying more taxes than necessary. One option you can utilize to avoid paying capital gains taxes on the sale of your home—or at least limit your capital gain tax liability—is the home gain exclusion.
If you qualify for the home gain exclusion, you may be able to exclude up to $250,000 from your income or up to $500,000 if you are married filing jointly. To qualify, you must meet the ownership test and the use test. The ownership test of the home gain exclusion requires that you owned the home for at least 2 out of the last 5 years prior to the sale of the home. Under the use test, you must have used the home as your primary residence for an aggregate period of at least 2 out of the last 5 years before the date of sale. While the ownership test and the use test must both be met in the 5 years immediately preceding the sale of the home, they can be satisfied in different 2-year periods.
Can I qualify for a partial home gain exclusion?
Many people do not know that even if you do not meet all the criteria for home gain exclusion, you may still be able to exclude a partial amount of the capital gains you realize from the sale of your home. If you are not eligible for the home gain exclusion because you do not meet the ownership or use test as a result of moving early due to work, health reasons, or to care for an ill family member, you may be able to exclude a prorated amount.
Specifically, the IRS allows for an exception to the 2-year ownership and use requirement if you were forced to move due to a change in employment or health problems. In addition to these reasons, the IRS also provides somewhat of a catch-all provision for "unforeseen circumstances" that you did not consider when purchasing the home such as a natural disaster, a death in the family, unemployment, the birth of twins or another multiple birth, or not being able to afford to remain in the home due to a change in marital status or employment.
However, just because a situation causes you to move does not mean that the IRS will recognize it as an unforeseen circumstance. Some examples where the IRS has refused to approve unforeseen circumstances for the partial home gain exclusion include imprisonment, environmental problems, or a decline in the market.
How does investment into home improvements effect my home gain exclusion?
Money spent on home improvements is relevant to your overall home gain exclusion to the extent that it increases your adjusted basis in the home, thereby potentially lowering your capital gains at the time of sale. By failing to consider the investment you may have made by remodeling the kitchen, bathrooms, and any other home improvements, your capital gains will be calculated to be higher than they should be, as money spent on home improvements increases your basis in the home dollar for dollar. If you do not consider these costs and investments, then you might incorrectly calculate your capital gains to be higher than the amount subject to exclusion under the home gain exclusion and end up paying unnecessary capital gains taxes.
For example, let's say you purchased your home in 1980 for $100,000. During the time you owned the property, you invested $50,000 into the home to add an addition, replace the roof, redo the plumbing, and remodel the kitchen. In 2018, you sold the property for $400,000. You are single and, when filing your taxes, you completely forgot or did not know to calculate your adjusted basis in the home to include the $50,000 in improvements that you made to the property. So, you calculate your capital gain to be $300,000. You are only eligible to exclude $250,000, so you determine that you are liable to pay taxes on your capital gain of $50,000. If you were knowledgeable about the role of home improvement investments in calculating your adjusted basis in the home, you would have known that your adjusted basis was $150,000 and your total capital gains were only $250,000. As a person filing single, you would be eligible to exclude the full amount of your gain of $250,000 and pay zero in capital gains taxes.
Can I simply gift my home to my child to avoid capital gains taxes?
There are very few instances where it is financially advantageous from a tax perspective to gift your home to one of your children. The most common reason for considering this strategy is to try to protect the assets from creditors or Medicare or avoid paying capital gains taxes. However, gifting your property does not guarantee that you will accomplish any of those objectives. When you gift your home to your child, they take your tax basis in the property and will owe capital gains taxes on the difference between that original basis and the selling price, unless the child lives there for at least two of the last five years before selling. Additionally, even if your family saved money on capital gain taxes by using this strategy, you would still be required to pay taxes on your gift. Depending on your individual circumstances, the amount of gift tax you owe will vary but you are only eligible to exclude $15,000 of the gift if you file as single or $28,000 if you are married filing jointly.
Can I combine my home gain exclusion with a 1031 exchange?
A particularly underutilized strategy for reducing or deferring your capital gains tax liability is to combine the benefits of a home gain exclusion with a 1031 like-kind exchange. A 1031 exchange allows you to reinvest the proceeds of a sale of real estate investment property, rental property, or property used for business purposes into a similar property without paying capital gains taxes. Effectively, this strategy allows you to defer your capital gains tax liability.
The tricky part about combining the home gain exclusion and a 1031 exclusion is that to be eligible for the home gain exclusion you must have used the property as your primary residence and to take advantage of a 1031 exchange, you must have held the property for investment of business purposes. However, there are three scenarios in which you can combine these seemingly opposing options: you acquired the property as rental property and later moved into the rental property yourself and lived there for at least 2 years; you acquired the property as a like-kind 1031 replacement property, held the property for a period of time as rental property and then later converted it to your primary residence for at least 2 years; or you acquired the property as a primary residence and lived there for at least 2 years of the 5 years preceding the date of sale of the property, but then moved out and converted the property to a rental property before selling it.
These requirements are very strict and specific, so it wise to consult a professional tax advisor when seeking to combine these strategies. Ideally, you will consider this benefit ahead of time when planning your decision to convert a rental property into your primary residence or move into a property that you acquired in a 1031 exchange.
The home gain exclusion can be a powerful advantage in your financial and tax planning strategy. It is very important to seek advice from your financial advisor on the best way to protect your assets and minimize capital gains tax liability.

This painting was inspired by me recent trip to Paris. The Basilica is great when seen full on but finding gulps as you go through the side streets is more fun and often as an unexpected surprise.
Painted with a palette knife in a chunky impressionist style.


Ecopneus will extraordinarily collect a further 11,000 tonnes of End-of-Life Tyres beyond its legal target during this last term of 2018. This amount is to be added to the over 3,000 "extra" tonnes of ELTs already collected between August and September.
The extra resources needed for this intervention have been made available thanks to the following: the positive trend of sales recorded by the Ecopneus' shareholders in the last weeks; the positive sales prospects for the last term of the year; and management efficiency that has allowed to keep costs under control and, in some cases, even to reduce them.
This decision is the result of the acknowledgement of the real difficulties that many service points have (tyre dealers, service stations, workshops). Many of them have excess stock of End-of-Life Tyres compared to their storage capacity. This decision has been taken despite the current impasse in the phase of recovery following treatment. In this moment, material recycling has, indeed, slowed down due to a sentence of the Council of State. This has brought uncertainty in the industrial chain, due to the concrete risk that recycled rubber powders and granules may not even be recognised the status of Secondary Raw Materials (SRM) anymore. On the contrary, they would be brought back to the state of waste, with subsequent obvious problems in their placement on the market. Moreover, the delays and uncertainties about the publication of the "End of Waste" Decree do not allow the placement of granules and powders on many application sectors currently waiting for this measure. Indeed, the "End of Waste" Decree would definitively and uncontrovertibly award the status of material to granules and powders derived from recycling at national level.
The End-of-Life Tyres collected with this extraordinary intervention will be largely sent to energy recovery abroad – a destination that can quickly absorb large quantities on top of the regular flow planned during the course of the year. The very favourable costs of this recovery option allow to be able to handle a higher quantity of ELTs compared to what would have been possible to manage with material recovery with the same financial resources. Since the beginning of its activities, Ecopneus has chosen to prioritise the material recovery of ELTs. This is in line with European trends and the principles of the circular economy. It is also the only solution that can appropriately valorise the chemical-physical characteristics of recycled rubber. Even though it is not a priority in the green strategy of Ecopneus, today the option of energy recovery becomes almost an obligatory solution, in a situation of criticality of downstream markets for material recycling. The energy recovery of ELTs is mainly carried out in cement factories, as they allow to maximally exploit the high calorific value of rubber, which is higher than pet coke. Moreover, it does not generate any further emissions (actually, it improves the pre-existing ones) and allows to recover combustion residues, ashes, and steel as materials, which are then incorporated into the final product (cement), with an environmental and economic benefit.


School starts at Millard North on Monday, yet the construction project on 144th and Pacific is still not done. That's going to cause traffic and safety issues for students and parents.
Those students and parents at Millard North are all very familiar with backed up traffic near the school at 144th and Pacific. As school starts this year there's still construction but progress has been made and it may not be the traffic nightmare it was last year.
"The spring construction had started, there were times when we had one lane going one direction or the other. We're going to have both lanes, two lanes, open each direction on 144th street," Jay Noddle, developer.
Like last year, Omaha Police says they'll provide four officers for traffic control until traffic calms down.
"Because of the unique circumstances surrounding the construction project at Millard North, this is not unusual. We do get requests from other schools for traffic control but they have to understand too that we have a limited number of resources that we can apply," says Omaha Police, Lt. John Sokolnik.
As for students that walk to the school, the district says they should use the new trail on the south side of Pacific St. and use the crosswalks.
"Kids please and parents, walk around the south side come across at the lighted intersection, it'll keep everybody safe," says Jim Sutfin, superintendent Millard Public Schools.
Crews were out working today and that's expected to continue into the weekend.
"We're going to work over the weekend to continue clean the site up and minimize the number of barricades that are in and around the property so it's not as confusing as it might be today," says Noddle.
While school will start for the freshman here at Millard North on Monday, it's going to be Tuesday where all the students will come in, therefore that day will likely be the day with the most congestion.

Now that the summer holidays have arrived, it's important to make sure that you take time to get your workouts in.
Of course this is easier said than done, but with a bit of planning you can make sure you stay on track and even get into better shape for that family summer holiday!
You need to make sure that you are armed with not just exercise options but also give some thought to nutrition so you can keep in tip top shape in the run up to and during your holiday.
Healthy Eating during your Holiday!
It's very easy to overeat when on holiday. In fact, the average holiday meal can contain up to 3,000 calories! And this doesn't include alcoholic drinks you may also have! Nor does it include nibbles, both of which can easily add on an additional 1,500 calories!
Holiday Meals: Make sure you eat plenty of protein (as protein promotes a feeling of fullness) and some carbohydrate (energy foods).
Quench Your Hunger with Water! Water can help you feel full and can help the body burn more calories by increasing your metabolic rate. Some studies have shown that the body can (and often does) confuse hunger with thirst. Instead of starting with eating first, why not drink 1-2 glasses of cold water.
Alcohol & Fizzy drinks: Moderation is key! Its summer time (and of course holiday time), but try to maintain a balance whilst on holiday. Of course it is the time when people increase their intake of their favourite 'tipple' but remember, holidays are not just for a day, so don't over indulge! Alcoholic and fizzy drinks both contain empty calories and are not good for you!
holiday. If you take a trip abroad these can be even tastier both fresh and with European cooking styles. If you must eat starchy carbs or sugary desserts make sure you do so in limited portion sizes. Remember that vegetables, especially broccoli, spinach and some fruits are rich in fibre, and these will give you a feeling of fullness.
favourite person (you) and or your family and keep on track with your exercise habits and goals. It doesn't matter what time of day you set aside, the important thing is to set the time aside and stick to it. It can be even more fun (and less of a chore if you do it with family or friends).
It's not the easiest thing to do, but if you plan it just right, you'll be able to enjoy the holidays without any or minimal weight gain.
• Take the stairs – no lifts allowed!
because you are on holiday. A little discipline will go a long way!


The department of postal services is set to open its first "all-woman post office" in Mumbai on April 12.
The office, which will be known as the Mahila Dak Ghar, will open at Town Hall Post Office near Central Library, SBS Marg. Only women employees will manage the postal services and operations at this post office. The office, which will be open from 10 am to 6 pm, will offer both traditional and modern postal services. As of now, 12 female employees will run the Mahila Dak Ghar.
The women-friendly initiative will be inaugurated by P. Gopinath, secretary (posts) and chairperson, Postal Service Board in the presence of Col K.C. Mishra, Vishisht Seva Medal chief postmaster general, Maharashtra and Goa circle.
Earlier this year, on the occasion of International Women's Day 2013, the first all-woman's post office in the country was inaugurated in New Delhi by Kapil Sibal, minister of cabinet for communications and IT, in the presence of Ms Gopinath.
At the time, Mr Sibal had announced that more such offices would be opened in the country, especially in the metro cities. The new office in Mumbai is part of the same initiative.
Currently, the Maharashtra Postal Circle has a total staff strength of 26,468, out of which 5,008 are women.
"As a mark of respect to the women of Maharashtra, we decided to launch the first Mahila Dak Ghar in this circle in Mumbai. It is going to operational in the next two days in a completely women-friendly environment," said Vinod Kumar, director, postal services in Maharashtra.

Houston Grand Opera Presents the World's First Mariachi Opera 11/13
by Gabrielle	Sierra
BroadwayWorld.com Aug. 24, 2010
Houston Grand Opera (HGO) will present its forty-first world premiere, To Cross the Face of the Moon / Cruzar la Cara de la Luna, commissioned by HGO through its Song of Houston Project. Music by José "Pepe" Martinez, music director of Mariachi Vargas de Tecalitlán, with libretto by acclaimed Broadway director and author Leonard Foglia, the opera will be performed in concert by a cast that includes mezzo-soprano Cecilia Duarte, baritone and HGO studio alumnus Octavio Moreno, and Martinez, together with Mariachi Vargas de Tecalitlán on Saturday, November 13, 2010 at the Wortham Theater Center in Houston, Texas. This will be Mariachi Vargas de Tecalitlán's only Houston performance in 2010.
The new opera was the brainchild of HGO General Director and CEO Anthony Freud, who attended a performance by Mariachi Vargas de Tecalitlán and was struck by the resonances between Mariachi and Operatic traditions. "Opera arias and Mariachi songs tell human stories of love and loss, family and country; through music they aim their narratives straight at the heart," says Freud. "It seemed to me that the two traditions were a natural fit. I wanted to be certain that we respected the integrity of both traditions in the piece we created, so it was also natural to turn to Pepe Martinez to compose it, given how strongly he has influenced contemporary Mariachi repertoire, and to Leonard Foglia whose truly operatic style of storytelling and theatricality is his signature, to write the lyrics." He added, "I am truly thrilled that we will have the honor of performing the world premiere with Mariachi Vargas de Tecalitlán, who are supreme practitioners of the art of Mariachi music."
Composer and music director José "Pepe" Martinez has been writing for and performing and recording with Mariachi Vargas de Tecalitlán since 1975; the ensemble has been in existence since 1897, and most of the storied composers, arrangers and performers in the Mariachi tradition have at one time or another been in the ensemble. The 13-piece ensemble includes violins, trumpets, guitarrón, guitar, vihuela and harp. Internationally acclaimed, the group tours annually in the United States and throughout the world, and has produced more than 50 recordings. "In my career, I have written many different kinds of songs which told many different stories," said Martinez. "This is the first time I have written in an operatic context, but the story and the characters are very moving, and I think the Mariachi tradition helps bring them to life in a way that is both relevant and very exciting."
To Cross the Face of the Moon chronicles three generations of a family, divided by countries and cultures. "The emotional and spiritual connection to one's country of origin, the challenges of being a stranger in a strange land, the very nature of home are at the heart of the immigrant experience, and of the opera," said Foglia, who makes his home in Querétaro, in Central Mexico.
"At its heart, Song of Houston is an extraordinary series of projects that celebrate the people who define the unique character of our city," commented Sandra Bernhard, Director of HGOco, which produces and manages the Song of Houston Project. Its first commission was The Refuge, which premiered in November 2007 and told stories collected from Houston's African, Central American, Indian, Mexican, Pakistani, Soviet-era Jewish and Vietnamese communities. "We wanted to focus our efforts on the Mexican community in Houston because of the multi-generational nature of their experience here. This project gave us the opportunity explore a universal theme of home and belonging and to collaborate in a way that honors a unique musical tradition. We're honored to be bringing something new and very special into being."
A first-of-its-kind collaboration with Talento Bilingüe de Houston will follow the concert performance at Wortham Theater Center. The work will be fully staged and presented at Talento Bilingüe de Houston with HGO's vocal cast and a Texan Mariachi ensemble. There will be four performances of the fully staged version on December 3, 4 and 5, 2010. "This event marries the magic of culture and song in a premiere stage engagement celebrating Houston's Latin community." says Juan Esquivel, President and CEO of Talento Bilingüe de Houston. "We are proud to combine efforts with HGO to bring a world-class performance for a multi-diverse and multi-cultural audience right to the heart of Houston's East end."
Tickets for the November 13 world premiere of To Cross the Face of the Moon / Cruzar la Cara de la Luna go on sale on September 7, 2010, and range in price from $35 to $125. They can be purchased online at www.houstongrandopera.org , or by calling Houston Grand Opera Customer Care at 713-228-6737.

Where is home? Is it where we are born? Or where we live most of our lives? Is it with the family we leave behind or with the new ones we create?
To Cross the Face of the Moon / Cruzar la Cara de la Luna chronicles three generations of a family, divided by countries and cultures. As a Mexican/American man deals with the approaching death of his father, he is forced to face these questions about his own place in the world - straddling two cultures - as well as that of his immigrant father and his American daughter. As long buried secrets are revealed, he finds himself dramatically re-evaluating his own understanding of what makes a family.
Like the Monarch butterflies that migrate every year to the birthplace of his father, the members of the Velasquez family must travel both physically and spiritually between Michoacán and Texas and look deep into their hearts before they learn where they truly belong.

A crisis can happen to any company at any point in time and usually when they least expect it. Every single company will have their crisis day, for some more than once. What is essential in any issue or crisis management situation is that the Company's consultant, if it has one, has the requisite experience to properly advise them in their time of greatest need. A lot is at stake. Years of reputation building can be destroyed in a flash, due to inappropriate and ill conceived responses and reactions by management in a time of crisis.
Managing a crisis situation should not be merely reactive exercise but should be proactive. However even the best laid plans and scenarios cannot replace a trial by fire. The communications in a crisis should be able to level headed to advance a company's interests and dictate the tempo of news and events. It should also help to frame the discussion, and is also an opportune time for a company's management to demonstrate their leadership, good governance, empathy and even contrition if necessary.
It is said that a crisis will prove a company's claims that have been made, and whether it is worth its salt. At Cogent, we seek to preserve the years of goodwill and brand identity of the company and will help the company weather through the unfortunate situation or event. In the aftermath of a crisis, if handled well, a company's reputation should bounce back and be even stronger. In short, Cogent has extensive experience to advise and help manage a company's communications in a crisis situation, so as to work with the Company's board and management towards the best possible outcome, given the circumstances.

Lebanon Blocks Website that Documents Stories of Migrant Workers Abuse
Demonstrators call for an end to Lebanon's sponsorship system for migrant domestic workers, Beirut. (OHCHR)
Among the Lebanese government's latest efforts to suppress freedoms and censor media, a website called "This is Lebanon" has been reportedly blocked by local internet providers.
The website belongs to a non-profit organization called "This is Lebanon" found in 2017 to document and report stories of abuse against migrant workers in Lebanon. It is being run by a former worker in Lebanon who currently resides in Canada.
On their official Facebook page, "This is Lebanon" announced they were informed about the Lebanese authorities decision to force local internet providers in the country into blocking the website.
Later, they updated their FB post to say they got back to a software developer who helped them get back to service in Lebanon.
A photo was shared by Lebanese social media users showed the website after being blocked and has a banner that says: "This website was blocked according to a Lebanese judicial order."
This platform that exposes domestic workers abuse in Lebanon got blocked upon an order from the judiciary. pic.twitter.com/T71TcKvrgO
— Mohamad محمد (@monajem) April 22, 2019
The ban made waves and sparked anger among Lebanese and other followers as well who have been following the organization to support its work.
The website that has tens if not hundreds of stories about migrant workers in Lebanon who faced abuse by being beaten, raped, threatened to death, forced to work for long hours or not receiving their salaries.
It also stands to put more pressure on authorities to get rid of the 'Kafalah' system that means sponsorship, through which workers are not allowed to resign, travel, chance employers or return home without their "Kafeel" or legal sponsor approval.
The system is being applied across several countries in the Middle East; mainly in the Levant and Gulf countries.
This comes a few days after Lebanese authorities have denied a Brazilian metal band, Sepultura, from visas to Lebanon where they were scheduled to have a concert. The band was accused of "insulting Christianity" and being "devil worshippers".

You don't need to install a database, or a mail server, or even a web server. It's all included. You don't need to know PHP, or HTML, or Linux. Just click and your service is online in 5 minutes.
The netVillage Social Networking Engine is a commercial off-the-shelf package, not a service (though you can use our hosting service if you wish). Other solution providers force you into a hosting model. What if they go out of business? Decide to change the rules? Change the branding? With netVillage you're in control, independent, and in charge of your own destiny.
Our community services were designed and developed to work with each other from the ground up. Other providers cobble together software applications from multiple vendors (under the banner 'best of breed'), resulting in a hodgepodge mix of services and a disruptive, inconsistent community experience.
Our social networking software has been developed and fine-tuned over many, many years. We've incorporated feed back from a very large customer base and as a result our software is highly configurable with a vast array of configuration features (5,000 at last count!). This gives you the flexibility to create your ideal online service.
"No one has anything that even comes close."
"In my experience no other online platform is this versatile."
"This is the coolest piece of software I have ever used. It's like AOL-in-a-box."
"I've been building online communities since the days of the early BBS, and no one comes close to the power and flexibility of the netVillage solution"
"Our system was credit enabled years ago, and is nearly the only service that offers this unique form of integrated e-commerce. Facebook got their idea of credits from us. I bet Mark Zuckerberg was a Sysop."
The developers at NetVillage have been building online social networks for over 20 years - we were the leading provider of communication tools during the dial-up era - and we count early AOL, Prodigy, and CompuServe amongst our customers. We are not one of the pablum-eating "Social Networking" providers birthed during the past year. We are, without a doubt, the most experienced web community provider around.

Capt. Pike and the U.S.S. Enterprise crew on "Star Trek: Discovery"
CBS All Access Orders 'Star Trek' Spinoff Focused on Capt. Pike's Enterprise
John Latchem
The CBS All Access streaming service May 15 announced it has ordered "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds," a new series focused on Capt. Pike's tenure as commander of the starship Enterprise 10 years before Capt. Kirk.
The series will star Anson Mount as Pike, Rebecca Romijn as first officer Number One, and Ethan Peck as science officer Lt. Spock. The trio first played the characters in the second season of CBS All Access' "Star Trek: Discovery" and reprised the roles in a number of "Short Treks" episodes.
Though fan reaction to "Discovery" has been mixed, the performances of Mount, Romijn and Peck as the legacy characters has been widely praised, leading to calls for them to receive their own show.
"When we said we heard the fans' outpouring of love for Pike, Number One and Spock when they boarded 'Star Trek: Discovery' last season, we meant it," executive producer Alex Kurtzman said in a statement. "These iconic characters have a deep history in Star Trek canon, yet so much of their stories have yet to be told."
The characters themselves date back to the original "Star Trek" pilot episode, "The Cage," that was produced in 1964. Series creator Gene Roddenberry's first attempt to sell the science-fiction series was famously rejected by NBC executives, though they were impressed enough by the concept to ask for a second pilot, which revamped the formula by replacing almost the entire cast, keeping only the alien Spock character, played by Leonard Nimoy, and introducing Capt. Kirk as played by William Shatner. Footage from the original pilot was eventually recycled for a two-part episode of the original "Star Trek" series that introduced Pike as Spock's former captain.
"Strange New Worlds" could thus be seen in some regards as the "Star Trek" series that Roddenberry had originally envisioned in the mid-1960s. The title comes from the famous mission creed of the U.S.S. Enterprise to "explore strange new worlds" and "seek out new life and new civilizations," with the show's creators promising a series that returns "Star Trek" to its roots of a starship exploring a vast unknown galaxy.
"Fans fell in love with Anson Mount, Rebecca Romijn and Ethan Peck's portrayals of these iconic characters when they were first introduced on 'Star Trek: Discovery' last season," Julie McNamara, EVP and head of programming at CBS All Access, said in a statement. "This new series will be a perfect complement to the franchise, bringing a whole new perspective and series of adventures to 'Star Trek.'"
The series premiere was written by Akiva Goldsman with a story by Goldsman, Kurtzman, and Jenny Lumet. Goldsman, Kurtzman, and Lumet will serve as executive producers in addition to Henry Alonso Myers, Heather Kadin, Rod Roddenberry and Trevor Roth.
"With Akiva and Henry at the helm, the Enterprise, its crew, and its fans are in for an extraordinary journey to new frontiers in the Star Trek universe," Kurtzman said.
Pike was previously played by Jeffrey Hunter in "The Cage," with actor Sean Kenney in heavy makeup doubling for Hunter in new sequences shot for the pilot footage's use in the original series. Bruce Greenwood played Pike in J.J. Abrams' 2009 reboot movie and its 2013 sequel (both co-written by Kurtzman). Number One was previously played by "Trek" mainstay (and later Gene Roddenberry's wife) Majel Barrett in "The Cage."
In addition to "Star Trek: Discovery," which is expected to premiere its third season later this year, CBS All Access is also home to "Star Trek: Picard," a "Star Trek: The Next Generation" sequel that presented its first season earlier this year, and "Short Treks," a series of 15- to 20-minute short films based on elements from the franchise. CBS All Access will also present the animated series "Star Trek: Lower Decks."
"Strange New Worlds" will be the eighth live-action "Star Trek" series in the history of the franchise. The series will be produced by CBS Television Studios, Secret Hideout and Roddenberry Entertainment. Aaron Baiers, Akela Cooper, and Davy Perez will serve as co-executive producers. Goldsman will remain an executive producer and a member of the creative team on "Star Trek: Picard" as well.
A premiere date for "Strange New Worlds" was not announced.

Lucknow: Death after delivery, kin blame doctors
The hospital's chief medical superintendent Sudha Singh said, "Sunita of Sitapur Road was brought to emergency ward in an advanced stage of pregnancy on Monday. She was anaemic and developed complications after delivering a baby boy. She lost a lot of blood and couldn't be saved despite timely transfusion." TNN | October 23, 2019, 12:30 IST
LUCKNOW: The death of a 32-year-old pregnant woman, allegedly due to medical negligence, sparked violent protests at Veerangana Jhalkari Bai Hospital on Monday night, prompting the health department to order an inquiry on Tuesday.
Family members tried to stall traffic at Hazratganj crossing and lodged a police complaint stating the hospital gave deceased Sunita Kumari "contaminated" oxygen, which caused organ failure.
While FIR is yet to be lodged, a four-member committee of three doctors of the hospital and one nominated by chief medical officer has been formed to probe.
The hospital's chief medical superintendent Sudha Singh said, "Sunita of Sitapur Road was brought to emergency ward in an advanced stage of pregnancy on Monday. She was anaemic and developed complications after delivering a baby boy. She lost a lot of blood and couldn't be saved despite timely transfusion."

Is it just me or has ESPN become a joke. I tune in to see some baseball scores and in 5 minutes they talk about Manny, Clemens, and Favre. Does anyone f**king care about these pieces of crap? 2 of them are garbage cheaters and all 3 are ego maniacs. I am a fan of sports not soap opera weekly !!!!!!!!!!
True. I guess that is why Cramer has good ratings. Legions of meatballs will watch him and Stuart Scott spew commentary that is complete crap. I guess it shouldn't surprise me, President Barry rode a meatball wave all the way to the White House. What a country !!!
chief123
ESPN news always has the scores…
henryhill
I enjoy mike and mike in the morning on ESPN2
jkl1v1n6
Ron if you don't like ESPN, don't watch it. Where will you tune in to? What's your alternative? ESPN is a sports NEWS channel. Manny, Clemons, and Favre are news stories. Now I will agree with you that maybe they do too many of these 3 hour long shows devoted to a story and while I like the fact that they loop Sportscenter hourly every morning I also hate that. It is what it is brother! We don't have any other alternative and it is still the best sports channel out there.
Just because it is the only option doesn't make it right.
My point was, what if we didn't even have ESPN? What would you watch? Would you think it was that bad if it went away? Would you miss it? Maybe not, I don't know.
3rdyrp2
I agree with Ron 100%. 10 years ago Sportscenter was the best show on TV. Now its a shell of its former self by showing highlights for 33% of the show and "breaking news" for the other 2/3's. Breaking news being if Brett Favre may or may not have sent x-rays of his arm to the Vikings, or that some goofball dad is demanding that the Celtics apologize to his son for inadvertently grazing him during the game over the weekend. Thats not news, thats Perez Hilton in sports form. I feel like I'm reading some Hollywood tabloid everytime ESPN is on. Thats the thing though, there are no alternatives. What was once a great sports station is now a depressing existence.
Thank you 3rdyrp2 for stating my case in a much better way than I was !!!
It went from highlights and scores to Access Hollywood.
Or maybe it's the degeneration of professional sports!
That is part of it too. I am an absolute sports addict and I have to follow everything, but ESPN is beyond brutal. Just look at some of the "analysts" they trot out there. Jalen Rose ? Michael Irvin ? Desmond Howard ? Just because they were good players doesn't mean they can accurately describe the action. Most of them can hardly speak english.
I'll agree to that, but that's all stations and thier analysts of former players. They all do it. I will also agree that ESPN is a shadow of it's former self, but it's all there is. It's like when MTV stopped showing videos and now only show "scripted reality". Maybe a phoenix will rise out of the ashes of ESPN. I doubt it though.
3rdyrp2:
What are you looking for them to do?? The highlights can't last the entire show.. There aren't enough games on a given day.. and it's bad enough when they talk about hockey..... I think the quality of anchors has fallen off,

I think the quality of anchors has fallen off,[/quote] They can show more highlights per game. Most of the time they'll show just the deciding play of a game and move on to the next game. No need to rush highlights so they can get to the next rumor of some inside sources friend having dinner with some guy who knows the neighbor of the Redskins GM and overheard someone telling the waiter that they were thinking about considering signing Anquan Boldin. That'll attract more viewers than showing more highlights of each game? Or instead of having the "Sunday Conversation" with some athlete, have a "Daily Conversation" so we can learn more about the guys.
They can cut out tons of BS. If you watch an entire game and then watch the ESPN highlights of the same game they don't even tell an accurate story. The clowns look at the box scores after the games have finished and show highlights of the biggest name players. Anyone who thinks ESPN doesn't COMPLETELY overplay certain storylines is nuts.
I don't like the Sports Reporters. NEVER HAVE! I would bet that most, if not all, never played a competetive organized sport.

ESPN has sucked for years. Ratings are king and it's a shame but Soap opera sells. Remember T.O. He made the main stream media for weeks before leaving Philly like a whining bitch.
For all of you ESPN supporters you have officially lost the argument. I switched to ESPNEWS for SPORTS scores this evening and they are showing highlights of the spelling bee. Are they doing this because it is sports related ? NO. Are they doing this because it is fun to watch? NO. Are they doing this because anyone cares? NO. They are doing it because the parent company ABC is showing the spelling bee during primetime. Unbelievable.
Everyone has to answer to the man!
Just further proof how ridiculous the worldwide leader is… They boot Steve Phillips for sleeping with a cow , but they have no problem glorifying the comeback of Michael Vick every single day for 2 months straight because it was getting ratings. Which is it ESPN ? You can't have moral clarity one week and not the next!

Q: How can I send a Push Notification through Parse.Com using Delphi? I need to send a Push notification out through Parse.com's API using Delphi.
I see there is a TParseApi but the documentation is, as usual, rather sparse on the subject.
How can I do this?

A: Drop a TParseProvider and a TBackendPush component onto a form or datamodule. Connect them and enter your credentials in the appropriate properties of the provider. Set the backend Message property to the message to send and call Push.

A: There are at least three ways of doing this:
1) A direct method would be to create your own HTTP request with custom headers and JSON
Procedure TForm1.ParseDotComPushNotification(pushMessage: string);
var
  parseDotComUrl: string;
  JSON: TStringStream;
  webRequest: TIDHttp;
  response: string;
  whereJson: TJSONObject;
  alertJson: TJSONObject;
  mainJsonObject: TJSONObject;
begin
  parseDotComUrl := 'https://api.parse.com/1/push';

  // Modify the JSON as required to push to whomever you want to.
  // This one is set up to push to EVERYONE.
  // JSON := TStringStream.Create('{ "where": {}, ' + '"data" : {"alert":"'
  //           + pushMessage + '"}' + '}', TEncoding.UTF8);

  mainJsonObject := TJSONObject.Create;
  whereJson := TJSONObject.Create;
  mainJsonObject.AddPair(TJSONPair.Create('where', whereJson));
  alertJson := TJSONObject.Create;
  alertJson.AddPair(TJSONPair.Create('alert', pushMessage));
  mainJsonObject.AddPair(TJSONPair.Create('data', alertJson));
  JSON := TStringStream.Create(mainJsonObject.ToJSON);
  mainJsonObject.Free; // free all the child objects.

  webRequest := TIDHttp.Create(nil);
  webRequest.Request.Connection := 'Keep-Alive';
  webRequest.Request.CustomHeaders.Clear;
  webRequest.Request.CustomHeaders.AddValue('X-Parse-Application-Id',
             'YourApplicationID');
  webRequest.Request.CustomHeaders.AddValue('X-Parse-REST-API-KEY',
             'YourRestApiKey');
  webRequest.Request.ContentType := 'application/json';
  webRequest.Request.CharSet := 'utf-8';
  webRequest.Request.ContentLength := JSON.Size;
  try
    try
      response := webRequest.Post(parseDotComUrl, JSON);
    except
      on E: Exception do
      begin
        showmessage(response);
      end;
    end;
  finally
    webRequest.Free;
    JSON.Free;
  end;
end;

Thus bypassing the need for TParseApi
2) Based on UweRabbe's answer, you can also do it like this in code:
procedure TForm1.parseProviderCodeButtonClick(Sender: TObject);
var
  myParseProvider: TParseProvider;
  myBackendPush: TBackendPush;
  myStrings: Tstrings;
  whereJson: TJSONObject;
  alertJson: TJSONObject;
  mainJsonObject: TJSONObject;
begin
  mainJsonObject := TJSONObject.Create;
  whereJson := TJSONObject.Create;
  mainJsonObject.AddPair(TJSONPair.Create('where', whereJson));
  alertJson := TJSONObject.Create;
  alertJson.AddPair(TJSONPair.Create('alert', pushMessage));
  mainJsonObject.AddPair(TJSONPair.Create('data', alertJson));

  myParseProvider := TParseProvider.Create(nil);
  myParseProvider.ApiVersion := '1';
  myParseProvider.ApplicationID := 'YourApplicationID';
  myParseProvider.MasterKey := 'YourMasterKey';
  myParseProvider.RestApiKey := 'YourRestApiKey';

  myBackendPush := TBackendPush.Create(nil);
  myBackendPush.Provider := myParseProvider;
  // myBackendPush.Message := 'Hello world';

  myStrings := TStringList.Create;
  myStrings.Clear;

  // I like putting the message in when I generate the JSON for the Target
  // (since it seems I have to do it anyways, my not do it all in one place).
  // You could however us TBackendPush.Message as I've commented out above.
  // myStrings.Add('{ "where": {  }, "data" : {"alert":"goodbye world"}}');
  myStrings.Add(mainJsonObject.ToJSON);
  myBackendPush.Target := myStrings;
  myStrings.Free;
  mainJsonObject.Free; // free all the child objects.

  myBackendPush.Push;

  myBackendPush.Free;
  myParseProvider.Free;
end;

3) And to round this out into one complete answer (again based on UweRabbe's answer)
On your form/datamodule:

*

*Place a TParseProvider

*Place a TBackendPush - this should automatically set its Provider filed to the name of the TParseProvider you created in the previous step.

*Set the TBackendPush's ApplicationID, MasterKey, RestApiKey, and Message properties

*Set the TBackendPush's Push method from code.

e.g.,
procedure TForm1.Button1(Sender: TObject);
begin
  BackendPush1.Push;
end;
