Buddy Guy is one of the most celebrated blues guitarists of his generation (and arguably the most celebrated), possessing a sound and style that embodied the traditions of classic Chicago blues while also embracing the fire and flash of rock & roll. Guy spent much of his career as a well-regarded journeymen, cited as a modern master by contemporary blues fans but not breaking through to a larger audience, before he finally caught the brass ring in the 1990s and released a series of albums that made him one of the biggest blues acts of the day, a seasoned veteran with a modern edge. And few guitarists of any genre have enjoyed the respect of their peers as Guy has, with such giants as Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, Jeff Beck, Keith Richards, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and Mark Knopfler all citing him as a personal favorite.

Lumen Christi's Keegan Smith commits to CMU football
Lumen Christi offensive lineman Keegan Smith has committed to play in Mount Pleasant for Central Michigan University's football program. Lumen Christi's football program is coming off of their third straight state championship win.
JTV Sports | June 25th, 2019 | Gabriel Schray
Keegan Smith will become a Chippewa and play for Central Michigan University's football program, he announced via Twitter. New head coach Jim McElwain will benefit from his verbal commit to the program, as he will become a member of the 2020 recruiting class for the University.
57-year-old McElwain was 22-12 over parts of three seasons at Florida. He won 19 games and earned SEC Coach of the Year honors. At Colorado State, he turned the Rams into a 10-win program and second-place finisher in the Mountain West Conference.
At Alabama he served as offensive coordinator and formed a relationship with CMU athletic director Michael Alford. he also coached at Michigan State from 2003 to 2005. He'll be hoping to turn around a Chippewas football team that went a program-worst 1-11 in their 2018 campaign.

Smith, who already holds a number of scholarship offers, will have a chance to return Lumen Christi to Ford Field this fall. The school and program are hoping to build on both historical and recent success by capturing an additional state championship.
Part of the reason CMU may have landed Smith, lies in their Michigan-first and grass roots recruiting approach. McElwain detailed that Michigan-first focus to recruiting in an ESPN story last month. The story also described his home in Mt. Pleasant, where he has a trailer for an office.
Lumen Christi will return a number of starters to their lineup this fall. This would be their fourth State Championship in a row, if they were able to pull off the big win again.

Scotland decides
On 19th September, Scotland voted against independence. It came after a long referendum campaign which prompted debate about the nature of devolution and the division of power in the UK. All in all, 1.6 million people voted in favour of independence, in a referendum that had record-breaking levels of turnout. The day after the vote, I wrote a quick piece for Deutsche Welle interviewing campaigners about their responses:
"What motivated many people in the yes camp was not simply blind nationalism, but the desire to break out on our own and build a progressive state in the model of some of the Scandinavian countries – unlimited by a Conservative English government we didn't vote for," said Stewart. "Now we will have to work with what we've got and see if Westminster delivers on the greater powers it promised."
The rest of the piece is over at Deutsche Welle.

Posted on December 24, 2021 Author Riaz Hassan	Comments Off on COVID-19 Update 24-12-2021
Last Updated on 4 weeks by Publishing Team
Since the last update, we have recorded a total of 109 new cases; of which 40 new cases were recorded on 23/12/2021, and 69 new cases in the last 24 hours ending at 8 am this morning.
This epidemic curve depicts the daily positive cases since the 2nd wave of this outbreak that began in April 2021. Overall, for this 2nd wave, there have been 52,745 cases recorded, with 71% of the cases from the Central Division, 28% of the cases from the Western Division, and 1% of the cases from the Eastern and Northern Divisions.
Of the 109 cases recorded since the last update, 68 cases were recorded in the Northern Division; 30 cases were recorded in the Western Division with 14 cases from border quarantine, and 11 cases recorded in the Central Division.
Our National 7- day rolling average is 8 daily cases calculated for 20th December 2021.
This curve depicts the daily death count by division since the 2nd wave of this outbreak that began in April 2021. Overall, the death rate graphs for the Central and Western Divisions indicate a declining trend. The differences between the Central and Western are similar to the incidence of the daily cases and are likely a reflection of vaccination levels, COVID mitigation measures, and differences in population density.
There is no COVID-19 death to report.
There have been a total of 697 deaths due to COVID-19 in Fiji, with 695 of these deaths during the outbreak that started in April this year. Please note that due to the time required by clinical teams to investigate, classify and report deaths, a 4-day interval is given to calculate the 7 days rolling average of deaths, based on the date of death, to help ensure the data collected is complete before the average is reported. Therefore, as of December 20th, the national 7 days rolling average for COVID-19 deaths per day is 0.0, with a case fatality rate of 1.32%.
Epidemic Outlook:
The Ministry of Health continues to monitor the outbreak using indicators such as daily case numbers, hospitalizations, test positivity, and deaths.
Occupancy rates in health facilities, the occupancy rate of ICU beds, death rates, and vaccination coverage are indicators to monitor our health response capacity and we see a decreasing trend across indicators from our health facilities with increasing vaccination coverage for adults, 15-17-year-olds, and 12-14-year-olds in Fiji.
With increasing COVID-19 cases in the European and Americas region, and the emergence of the new highly transmissible variant Omicron, we anticipate an increasing number of cases from border quarantine facilities. Increased and sustained surveillance and testing at our borders, communities, and maritime islands are vital to monitor and detect COVID-19 cases for early intervention.
There is an increasing number of cases in the Northern division which is anticipated to continue to increase, demanding ongoing surveillance for early intervention to mitigate COVID-19 risks.
We have highlighted over the last few updates the rise in COVID–19 positive cases in the Northern Division. The lifting of containment borders between Viti Levu and Vanua Levu, resulted in large numbers of travelers moving between the 2 main islands, life returned to some normalcy, and we saw some large sporting activities resume.
The increasing number of people testing COVID-19 positive in the Northern Division, means the Health Ministry and the health care staff in the North, will be escalating the measures in place aimed at protecting residents of Vanua Levu from the severe effects of COVID-19. We wish to assure all that the Health Ministry is doing all we can to keep you safe. Our health care workers who would have spent this festive season with their families, are now on-call to protect lives and mitigate community transmission. Our health care workers supported by other government officials from various government agencies in the north, will over this festive season, be tracing contacts, caring for patients who develop severe disease, monitoring individuals under isolation, and spending time away from their families during this festive season. I urge the public to cooperate with health care workers and adhere to our COVID safe measures to ensure that this surge in COVID-19 positive cases in the Northern Division is managed and contained.
I call on all individuals of the Northern Division, in all of its 3 Provinces of Cakaudrove, Bua, and Macuata to practice responsible social gatherings and diligently adhere to the COVID-19 safe measures. Be wise about your social gatherings, and postpone them if you can. During these pandemic times, it is best that you remain at home and celebrate with your loved ones, rather than gather in large numbers and potentially put at risk the vulnerable members of your families; including those who are unvaccinated.
While we are buoyed by the increase of fully vaccinated individuals in the Vanualevu, which currently stands at 95% for dose 1 and 85.4% for dose 2. I have also said in my statement this week, that the way forward to protecting ourselves from COVID-19 is a vaccine plus strategy. Where 2 doses of the COVID-19 vaccine together with COVID safe measures are the best way to be protected from COVID-19.
All individuals of the northern division must assume that those around us are COVID-19 positive and so we must protect ourselves at ALL times.
If you are in Vanua Levu and develop any symptoms of COVID-19 you should visit a screening clinic to be checked and tested by our medical teams, or call 158. Symptoms of COVID-19 include any of the following: Cough, runny nose, nasal congestion, sneezing, fatigue/extreme tiredness, loss of taste or smell, headache, aches and pains, sore throat, fever, diarrhea, red eyes, skin rash.
Testing will also be prioritized for high-risk individuals, vulnerable and symptomatic persons, and household contacts. If you have any symptoms and are over the age of 50 years or you have underlying health conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, kidney disease, asthma, are obese, or are pregnant.
As well as getting tested you must isolate yourself from others if you have symptoms or you have had to contact with a case. For those on home isolation, you are to ISOLATE from others including other members of your household for at least 10 days. Stay at home. As much as possible, maintain a physical distance of 2m between yourself and other members of your household, and wear a mask that covers your nose and mouth. Drink plenty of fluids, and take paracetamol for pain and fever.
Most importantly, watch for severe COVID-19 symptoms.
Severe COVID-19 is a medical emergency, and a delay in receiving appropriate medical treatment reduces your chance of recovering from the disease. You do not need to have a positive test result to watch out for these symptoms. We need all Fijians to know the severe symptoms of COVID-19, which include the following:
Persistent pain or pressure in the chest
Severe headache for a few days
New confusion, inability to wake or stay awake
Pale, gray, or blue-colored skin, lips, or nail beds
For people anywhere else in Fiji:
Please call 158 or go to your nearest screening clinic for testing if you have any symptoms of COVID-19. If you do leave your home to go to a screening clinic: please wear a mask that covers your mouth and nose, keep at least 2 meters between yourself and others outside your household, wash your hands with soap and water frequently, or use a hand sanitizer. Download and activate the CareFIJI app on your phone, and avoid using public transport. Also call 158 if you have been in contact with someone confirmed as a case of COVID-19.
Public Advisory for Residents of Vanua Levu

    }
    func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
        let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "filterSelectionCell", for: indexPath) as! FilterSelectionCell
        activityIndicator.stopAnimating()
        activityIndicator.hidesWhenStopped = true
        tableDetails.isHidden = false
        cell.brandProductName.text = productName[indexPath.row]
        return cell
    }
    func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAt indexPath: IndexPath){
        if let cell = tableView.cellForRow(at: indexPath as IndexPath) {
            if cell.accessoryType == .checkmark{
                cell.accessoryType = .none
            }
            else{
                cell.accessoryType = .checkmark
            }
        }
    }

here is the image for that

A: Use indexPathsForSelectedRows property of the UITableView
You will be able to get all the indexPaths of selected rows and then integrate over the array of these indexPaths and fetch your texts from your dataset (productName array in your case).
Like this:
fun getAllTextFromTableView() {
  guard let indexPaths = self.tableView.indexPathsForSelectedRows else { // if no selected cells just return
    return
  }

  for indexPath in indexPaths {
    print("\(productName[indexPath.row])") //Here you get the text of cell
  }
}

Of corse you need to have @IBOutlet to your table view in order to access it in the function.

A: You should use an array of product objects instead of an array of names for your table's data source.  Each product would have a name and a Bool value to say whether it's selected or not.
Finding the selected products would then be a easy and -- more important -- you wouldn't be using the UI as your data model to learn whether something was selected.

A: Here is my answer with the below code you can delete the selected strings from the array which you had appended previously in the array
var values = [String]()
var selected: Bool

 func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAt indexPath: IndexPath){
        selected = false
        if let cell = tableView.cellForRow(at: indexPath as IndexPath) {
            if cell.accessoryType == .checkmark{
                cell.accessoryType = .none
                print("\(productName[indexPath.row])")
                values = values.filter{$0 != "\(productName[indexPath.row])"}
                selected = true
                print(values)
            }
            else{
                cell.accessoryType = .checkmark
            }
        }
        if selected == true{
            print(values)
        }
        else{
            getAllTextFromTableView()
        }

    }
    func getAllTextFromTableView() {
    guard let indexPaths = self.tableDetails.indexPathsForSelectedRows else { // if no selected cells just return
    return
    }

    for indexPath in indexPaths {
        values.append(productName[indexPath.row])
        print(values)
    }
    }

DISCLAIMER: I am so excited to share with you the third part of my craftsman project, that I hope to one day complete. I have had the images prepared for a year now, and am just getting to the writing portion of this post. I have the true gift of procrastination. Perhaps I was subconsciously letting this project stay in a "potential" state because I did not want it to come to an end! Or maybe I was busy doing little things called college and life. Either way, I am thrilled to finally publish this post!
This negozio, or shop, was located across one of the campuses of SACI, the art school I attended while in Florence. I passed by this Tipografia shop on my way to my Italian lesson and always caught a glimpse through the windows of this beautiful world of disarray.
I was automatically attracted to the messy, motley display of posters that were taped to the front doors. There was always something occurring inside, every worker was on a mission.
Out of the three shops I photographed (link below), this had to be the most humorous experience. One cold evening, I charged into the shop after class and asked if I could photograph the men and their shop. The owner of the shop was bewildered and answered in Italian, "Here? You want to photograph this?" "Of course!" I answered.
As promised, I entered the shop a few evenings later with my camera in hand. The three men welcomed me in and continued to vigorously work while I played fly on the wall and maneuvered my way into tiny crevices. I was memorized by the rhythmic tempo occurring in the shop. It was obvious to any bystander that each worker new exactly what he had to accomplish that day and he conducted that task with a nonchalant purpose.
There is something so admirable about humans who choose to dedicate their energy to doing a task well, regardless of the amount of times already practiced. There is a sense of loyalty and acceptance. Another element I was infatuated with was the mess. I love it, it is real. The mess was an organized, yet chaotic piece of art just waiting to be captured.
Thank you to the three workers for letting a crazy woman with a camera document your work.
I hope you enjoy this messy masterpiece of a shop!

We Can't Go On Like This: An Excerpt from 'Storm Lake'
By Art Cullen
Books, Climate, ENVIRONMENT
Posted on: March 5, 2019 | Leave a Comment
The following in an excerpt from Storm Lake by Art Cullen, published by Viking, an imprint of Penguin Publishing Group, a division of Penguin Random House, LLC. Copyright © 2018 by Art Cullen. Read an interview with Cullen here.
The greatest threat to Iowa, from Storm Lake to Des Moines, is not Islam or Mexicans hopping off a freight train if they don't die trying. The greatest threat to Iowa—and, ultimately, a stable food supply in the United States—is its continued loss of soil. Rick Cruse, an agronomist at Iowa State, notes that wheat production already is falling every year in China because of soil deterioration. Extreme weather events wrought by warming make the task of keeping Iowa soil in place even harder.
Economist Harl recalls that in 1937 his family raised 40 bushels of corn per acre. In 2011 his southern Iowa farm produced 220 bushels of corn per acre. That corn sucked up a lot of fertilizer suspended in a lot of water. That pace cannot be sustained unless there is something to hold the water in place.
And there isn't. Cruse will show you aerial photos of the Des Moines lobe—the corn capital of the world—where the precious topsoil depth has shrunk from fourteen inches to nothing in the span of a century. It starts on the knobs and spreads to the flat ground as the wind whips water across the bare black slate where you don't see a tree for miles.
Soil erosion rates have amplified since the 1980s because of more extreme weather combined with less land in pastures and buffers and intensified row-crop production that packs much higher plant populations per acre.
Soil can hold water during drought, but if there is less soil in place, resiliency weakens. Cruse, who runs the Iowa Daily Erosion Project, tells us that our Iowa and Illinois prime cropland is floating downriver.
Cruse has been taking his analysis around the state trying to get people to listen: Climate change is upon us. The only way we can continue to reach optimum corn production in an increasingly hungry world is to maintain the soil base that the Good Lord left us when the plow arrived after 1850. We can't do that the way we are farming—all out on virtually every acre.
Buena Vista County's flat land is losing soil four times faster than nature can regenerate it. Iowa can regrow up to a half ton of soil per acre per year. Federal authorities say five tons per acre lost annually is "acceptable." Such acceptable losses are common after a two-inch rain. We are losing soil way faster than we can grow it.
Cruse notes that corn potential is derived from genetics, man- agement, and water transpiration. You can get the best genetics and get plant populations as high as possible, but you can reach that crop's potential only with adequate water. Topsoil, rich in organic matter, stores water for the corn plant. For every inch of topsoil you lose, corn production capacity is lost with it.
In the next twenty years world population is set to grow by up to 3 billion people, who will depend on less tillable land to feed them. We will need all the production capacity we can get. We lost 41 million acres of farmland to development from 1982 to 2017. Irrigated land provides 40 percent of the world's food, and we are pumping our aquifers down. Given those daunting facts, it would seem an abomination to just dump that precious soil—which could feed a hungry world—into the river so it can choke the Louisiana bayou.
"Iowa had the world's best soil. Louisiana has it now," Cruse mused of our displaced treasure.
Demand for food and for better diets is increasing. Crop prices are on an average trend line up and will continue that trajectory, Cruse thinks, despite the downturn of recent years. The only incentive is for producers to produce in search of higher yields at higher prices, with a safety net called crop insurance that protects their adventurism. That will cause more water pollution and more soil loss, unless the federal government steps in and requires conservation practices. Discomfort causes change, says Iowa State economist Dave Swenson. Well-settled farmers are more comfortable than ever because of the safety nets and the genetic breakthroughs that defend against drought and pestilence, planted in an oil base that can be purchased.
The cost is not obvious, but it lurks below the surface.
Cruse said he has no doubt that crops are losing yield potential that genetics and technology cannot fully replace. Corn quality has been declining as measured by protein content from Iowa fields. Cruse points to the connection between soil health and human obesity—Latinos who live on a diet high in corn are trapped in a diabetes crisis, according to local health officials. Cruse relates that to higher starch and lower protein content in the corn kernel. Traces of that starchier corn kernel are in al- most every processed food and drink on the grocery shelves.
The increase in ethanol consumption brought on by the Renewable Fuels Standard—which made a lot of farmers rich over a three-year span—may mask the long-term implications of how it is destroying our land and eroding rural communities.
"We were living on a sugar high," Swenson said of the spike in crop and land prices leading up to 2009 fueled by ethanol.
It gave us a rush to rip up more grass and get in on that seven-dollars-per-bushel corn for a fleeting time. But the damage was done, the soil gone. And now corn has crashed back to three dollars per bushel, prompting farmers to go after even more acres to get maximum revenue. The rule of modern agriculture: Spread your fixed costs over more acres.
"We're moving down a one-way street," Cruse said.
That black gold swirls in our lakes and rivers and eventually to the Gulf of Mexico. Those prairie potholes are the canaries in the coal mine. Lose the lakes and you won't be growing corn for long. Not in Iowa, anyway. And we are losing them.


Leaving South Africa and the World Cup craze behind! Here we are at the airport in Johannesburg with the FIFA mascot! On our way to Koh Samui, via Singapore.
We arrived late at our summer house on Baan Laem Noi, after a two day stay in Singapore with our friends Lara, Fouad, and their daughters Alyssa and Isabella. Which was so much fun to finally meet the girls! We had such a wonderful stay at their place and spent 2 full days with them.
After a bit unpacking we went to bed, the heat and humidity were a bit overwhelming, so we were happy to have air conditioning in the bedrooms! The next morning we had breakfast on our deck and immediately went for a stroll to the beach, which is just 1 minute away from the house. BLISS!!
Can not wait to see what the next six weeks brings for you! love the pictures-post more soon!
Oh, how nice for you to be back in Thailand! What a great time you will have there!
Those coconuts look amazing. Such a getaway!
i am so glad I came across your blog... I loooooved reading yoru posts about thailand. i spent some time this summer in thailand (and india) and miss it a lot!

Time once again for a new challenge at ATCAS and our host for the next fortnight is the gorgeous and talented Shana. Now what did that lovely lady choose for us this time round……..
Great code word don't you agree and I was so inspired I actually did some stamping !!!!!, that's not to say when I use my Cameo I'm not inspired lol , but its been ages since I did any I nearly forgot how to do it. I made two cards and couldn't decide which one I liked best so you lucky people (not) get to see both attempts.
This is a Memory Box stamp called words to birds collage, it's a bit on the weeny side so if your like me and you suffer from bloggers blindness you could possibly mistake those birds for ants !
Similar squigding as on the first card just addition of some sequins and a Cameo made feather and an extra frame, I think I like the first one best.
Now before I go I must have my little whinge otherwise it wouldn't be a " proper " blog post from me but one of the reasons I have been mojo-less and a bad blogger is that I have damaged my foot in two places ( so much for my power walks ! ) I've been told by the bone doctor this can take up to a year to heal and he's put me on bed rest for two months , pretty painful and I can't sit or lie in one place for too long. The only up side of it is it's the world cup and Wimbledon so I get to see all of the matches, don't know what I'll do when they finish might have to start watching day time TV !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HELP !!!!!!!
Thanks for the tip Vicki it seems that my card is eligible for the " Just Us Girls Challenge " who's theme week is Bird . This is my first time playing along and have seen some fabulous cards in the gallery and by the DT.
Loving all your squidging Hun!!! It's so effective and I love the colourway you've chosen. Those ants…..sorry, birds (!) remind me of the flocks of starlings we have going over our house when they go to roost for the night on the Somerset Levels – magical sight. Have a great weekend.
Beautifully 'squidged' (love that word!) background! So glad you joined us at CASology this week!
Oh Marie – I am so sorry to hear about your foot problem – hope it improves very quickly. Your cards are unique (as always), and hey – why shouldn't the sky be green – we have blue, white, grey and orange, so yes – I'm OK with green! Fabulous feathers and two gorgeous cards.
Pretty cards! Love the little birds and the feather is cool too! Thanks so much for playing along with Just Us Girls this week!
Marie, this is so thoughtful and lovely!!! Your creations always make me pull some lovely meaning for me into them!!! Thanks for sharing!! So glad that you were inspired to play in the FUN FLOAT Cue with us at CASology this week!!!!
Forgotten how to stamp ay? I think a little fib there, how could you have forgotten when you come up with cards like these? BOTH fab of course.
Laid up? a good excuse to see all the tennis and football me thinks!
Hope your foot is better soon, SOOOOOOOOOO very painful, keep taking the tablets 😀 DO you know sometimes it's OK to be fat and not have power walks – I know LOL.
Hi Marie. Two fabulous cards. Love your squidgling! 🙂 Love the black framing on both — really shows off your beautiful skies!
Another fabulous design Marie, LOVE the colours you have used!
And I hope your foot heals real quick (at least you have an excuse not to do housework either lol)!
These are gorgeous! Your "squidged" backgrounds are amazing and love the stamping on them. Thanks for joining us at JUGS and we hope to see you again!
Very clever card Marie, such gorgeous colours.
I am so behind in my normal visiting that I've missed everyone's DT "sky" posts. When I saw yours, I popped in to see your spectacular takes on the word!! I am glad to see that you named them "masterpieces" because they ARE, they truly, truly are!!
Awesome cards – the sky is incredible!
Your skies are AMAZING and oh so creative! I love the feathers too!
wow! These are stunning! LOVE the blue on that first feather!
Ahhhh that MB stamp is an oldie but goodie! Love your use of it! Thanks for joining us this week at Just Us Girls!
Love your cards-very artsy and fun! thanks for joining us this week at Just Us Girls!
Oh my, how elegant is this and that black feather with spots of color embossed on it – so gorgeous!!
Well, I'm really sorry to hear about your injury! Rest up and take care. I know it is going to be frustrating for you, but you really need to rest.
I am in love with your cards and the feathers are the perfect way to bring all the colors together. Take care!
Wow what a masterpiece. I like the birds, I never like ants.

Creative Offices Takeover Westside Mall
Officially announced in the Los Angeles Times last month, developer GPI Cos. has acquired ownership of the former Westside Pavillion mall and is turning it into creative office spaces. GPI jumped at the opportunity to convert the aging mall since creative office space on the Westside is in high demand, especially for large tech companies looking to take root or expand near Silicon Beach. This converted indoor mall will keep its high ceilings, large floor plans and ample parking, making it very desirable for future tenants. Adding to the value for future tenants is the promise of being neighbors with Google, who has already committed to occupying a large portion of the new office space. continued→
It's Time to R.U.N
If you're a fan of action, then this new dark and edgy Cirque de Soleil live-action thriller R.U.N is the show for you! It recently opened at the Luxor in Las Vegas, and Oculus designed the lighting for the theater entrance and pre-show lobby that immerses guests into a gritty cyberpunk urban alleyway.
Walking through the "alley" to the theater, guests encounter an interactive phone booth where they can eavesdrop on the conversation, or visit a tattoo parlor and "get inked" with real-time projections. The graffitied walls appear to be shift in hue and tone, an effect caused by the changing RGBW lighting above. When guests reach the end, they discover a large digital clock ticking down to showtime. continued→
BLDWN at Melrose Place
BLDWN, formally known as Baldwin, recently opened the doors to their flagship store on Melrose Place, the famous avenue of boutique fashion houses and high-end designer goods. BLDWN started in Kansas City as "Baldwin", a denim label founded by husband-and-wife team Matt and Emily Baldwin, who have since relocated and reintroduced their line as a refined take on modern minimalist American fashion. Oculus' lighting design uses integrated niches and troughs to conceal most of the primary light sources, creating a clean and sleek approach that reflects BLDWN's sartorial aesthetic and design philosophy.
Cargo Container Community
Oculus has just completed another project in collaboration with Studio One Eleven! SteelCraft Bellflower recently opened up, and it's bringing a whole new use to cargo containers. This 15,000sf food hall has a variety of food and drink spots along with a communal dining area to relax with family and friends (and pets!).
New Affordable Housing in Santa Monica
With rising numbers of homeless populations in Los Angeles, non-profit affordable housing developer Community Corporation has been successfully increasing the number of available affordable units, especially for those who are facing unexpected economic challenges. Oculus feels both honored and proud to have worked with KoningEizenberg and Community Corp on the new Arroyo complex, which recently opened in Downtown Santa Monica.
West-side Midwest Style
Oculus Light Studio's latest completed restaurant project Birdie G's, alongside architects Montalba, has opened its doors in Santa Monica, CA! This is also the latest creation for Michelin-starred Chef Jeremy Fox, who has also been nominated multiple times for a James Beard Award.
Shoes and Social Media
ABC Mart Grand Stage opened up its doors last November in Tokyo's trendsetting Harujuku district, where it was designed with Instragrammable photo opportunities at every corner so shoppers can take their social media to the next level while purchasing fashionable footwear. Working with CallisonRTKL, Oculus Light Studio was excited to be a part of this project as careful attention was taken to ensure that the seamlessly integrated lighting would flatter both the merchandise and the selfie-ready shoppers.
ABC Mart Grand Stage was also just nominated for a Shop! Award. The winners will be announced in June.
For more information on ABC Mart, check out this article here!
New Projects Up On Site
Check out these recent projects from Oculus Light Studio, including an international flagship store, a structure that is redefining the look of the contemporary multi-family development, three Bel Air mansions, a luxury children's clothing store, an Italian restaurant tucked away in and inspired by the Peterson Automotive Museum, a boutique hotel nestled in Culver City, a TI remodel with an eye-catching portal facade, and a cost-effective shoe retail store prototype.
Press is Flying in for Propeller-Shaped Residence
This new Bel-Air residence has flown onto the market for $56 million with its unique three-wing propeller design and luxurious amenities that include a home theater, a poolside deck overlooking the city, and a 1,000 bottle wine cellar! Developer Duangpatra Bodiratnangkura spent four years on the 18,850 sf mansion and chose SPF:architects for the design. Oculus Light Studio is proud to have contributed the lighting design that will truly help this residence stand out on the hilltop.
ICSC Awards 2 Oculus Projects!
Oculus is pleased to find out that not one, but two of our projects are 2018 Winners awarded by the ICSC, the International Council of Shopping Centers. The ICSC U.S. Design and Development Awards are stated to "honor and recognize the premier design and development trends of retail projects, new developments, renovations, expansions, and retail store design within the U.S."
Oculus' Project Wins 2018 AIA|LA's Honor Award!
We are excited to learn that our lighting design project, Mayumi, won an AIA Los Angeles' Design Honor Award! We are especially proud of our hard work in helping to create this unique hotel environment and were happy to have been included on the project team with architect Shubin Donaldson.
This adaptive-reuse building features common areas that act as social hubs, such as the courtyard with a fire pit and a community kitchen, as well as flexible-stay options in their private micro-units.
LA Times' Article on Leisuretown
Check out this recent Los Angeles Times article featuring Leisuretown, a brewery, bar, retailer and food hall complex being built at 549 Anaheim Blvd. in Anaheim, CA. Modern Times, the project's main tenant, will be set in a restored two-story, historic craftsman home and two re-purposed commercial buildings. This in-construction cultural hub will bring in the local community, which will surely also lure guests visiting California's major theme park Disneyland. Anaheim is seeing an explosion of breweries opening up, particularly with a much lower permitting cost compared to Los Angeles.
New Blue Ribbon Sushi Restaurants in LA Eater
Blue Ribbon Sushi and Hank's have recently opened up inside the new Palisades Village upscale shopping center. Oculus Light Studio had the opportunity to work alongside Asfour Guzy Architects on these beautiful designs. Check out these intimate restaurant spaces, which were recently mentioned in Eater LA!
The tranquil dining environment at Blue Ribbon Sushi is surrounded by warm lighting that accentuates the beautiful color of the wood panels and the dark ceiling and walls at Hank's have a soft reflection from the glowing divertive fixtures that provide a retro feel.
Sharks Take-Over at Georgia Aquarium
Get ready for the new 28,000 sf shark and sea predators exhibit at the Georgia Aquarium, where visitors will be immersed inside a world filled with the likes of hammerhead sharks, sand tiger sharks, tiger sharks, and sandbar sharks, oh my!
"Sharks are one of the most misunderstood species in the ocean," says John Kasman, Vice President at PGAV Destinations."The goal of the new shark habitat is to provide a fresh perspective on the vital role sharks play in our oceans' health, and educate guests about the significant threats these animals face from over-fishing and habitat loss."
New Projects Up On Our Site
Check out these recent projects from Oculus Light Studio, including a turtle recovery haven that also educates the public about taking care of our planet's creatures, this chic new addition to the Saks Fifth Avenue family in Miami, FL, and a stunning Downtown LA beacon.
Zucker Family Sea Turtle Recovery Center, Charleston, SC
Saks Brickell, Miami, FL
915 Wilshire, Los Angeles, CA
Saks Brickell is a Beauty!
Oculus Light Studio project, Saks Brickell, is featured in this month's Contract Lighting Magazine, as "The latest Saks Fifth Avenue in the East boasts an innovative lighting design that mirrors this unique neighborhood in greater downtown Miami."
How did our lighting design team highlight thousands of designer shoes, bags and clothing for a 70,000 sf luxury department store you may ask? Well, it was certainly no easy task and required many a fixture to be aimed on precariously tall ladders by our team. The final result is stunning and was certainly worth the hard work to achieve the lighting's creative solutions, not to mention being recognized by the Shop! Retail Environments Award in 2017.
RDC/Studio111 Office Wins Calibre Design Award

Saks Brickell Stars in Hip Hop Music Video
Can you spot the Oculus lighting design project, Saks Brickell Miami, in Drake's new music video for his hit single, God's Plan? We sure did!
Around 2.28 mins into the video try and catch Drake inside the luxury department store as he giving away his entire music video budget to his fans, we thought it was pretty cool!
We can't blame this spot for being chosen… the twinkling of the ceiling downlights and chandeliers are a great backdrop for the hip hop star and of course the lighting needed to be 'camera ready' for the music video set.
Watch it for yourself!

Workers Struggles: Europe, Middle East & Africa
The World Socialist Web Site invites workers and other readers to contribute to this regular feature.
Greek truck drivers strike extended
On Wednesday, freight truckers across Greece decided to indefinitely extend their strike against government plans to privatise the sector. The strike, which began on Monday, would continue, said union chief Georges Tzortzatos after a general assembly of the Greek truck owners' confederation.
The action is a resumption of a dispute that began in July and that led to a six-day strike that paralysed the country. On August 1, the truck drivers union, the Panhellenic Union of Commercial Land Transportations (PSXEM) called off the strike. They voted to accept all the original demands of the social-democratic Panhellenic Socialist Movement (PASOK) government.
PASOK made limited promises to review aspects of the industry, which drivers now accuse them of reneging on.
The development ministry announced that it was lifting the petrol price restrictions imposed on Monday to prevent speculation. "We have avoided speculation for the moment, but if there are new problems we will re-impose this measure", said the Secretary of State for Development Ntinos Rovlias.
The government wants to open the freight market to "full competition" within three years to cut transportation costs.
The truck drivers insist that inviting competition into the freight sector by reducing new licence charges is unfair to existing operators who have already paid high start-up fees running up to 300,000 euros.
No new freight licences have been issued in Greece for decades, meaning that would-be operators can only purchase existing permits at high cost.
Greek state railway unions called a 24-hour strike September 14 to protest planned wage and personnel cuts as part of efforts to reform and partially privatise the under-funded rail network.
Faced with its worst financial crisis in decades, Greece is currently tied to a three-year €110 billion ($140 billion) rescue loan package from the International Monetary Fund and European Central Bank. A delegation from the IMF and EU arrived in Athens Monday for a two-week visit to review Greece's progress and preparations for the 2011 budget.
Greek workers have participated in a series of strikes and protests over unprecedented budget cuts and social attacks the government is seeking to impose. The government is eager to reassure wealthy investors that it is reforming its economy and is a safe investment.
Finance Minister George Papaconstantinou began a three-day road show September 15 to London, Paris and Frankfurt with the head of the country's debt management agency, Petros Christodoulou, and officials from the ECB, IMF and EU.
Spanish miners protest over unpaid wages
Around 150 miners and supporters temporarily blocked a highway and railroad in the north of the country on September 10 with burning tires and crash barriers to protest against unpaid wages.
The protest, on a stretch of the railway near the town of Bembibre, caused delays for three regional trains, railroad officials said.
The miners also blocked traffic on a nearby highway by sitting on the road and overturning metal carts used to move coal in the mines before police arrived.
Miners in several parts of the country are protesting over unpaid wages and to demand government aid to the coal industry.
Fifty miners have refused to leave a coal mine 500 metres (1,650 feet) below ground near Guardo in the northern Palencia province, since September 2. They are demanding they receive the wages owed for the past two months from the mining company, Union Minera del Norte (Uminsa).
An estimated 10,000 families in Palencia depend on coal for their livelihood.
The miners earn €1,000 to €3,000 ($1,275 to $3,820) a month, the highest wages going to "picadors", those doing the most dangerous job of crawling into cramped spaces with heavy jackhammers to extract coal that has been loosened with dynamite blasts.
The miners are also calling for a guaranteed level of coal purchases so as to ensure that Spanish coal-fired power stations buy domestic coal rather than imports. The workers point to the failure of Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero to implement a decree that would subsidise utility companies running old coal-fired plants so they will use a certain percentage of Spanish coal instead of importing coal from countries such as South Africa.
Spain's coal mining industry is involved in tough competition with gas-fired electrical utilities and renewable energy initiatives.
Thousands of Romanian public sector workers to strike over wage cuts
More than 30,000 Romanian public sector workers are to go on strike over wage cuts.
Sebastian Oprescu, chairman of the National Union of Public Workers, said September 14 that workers from hundreds of state institutions will begin industrial action on September 27.
The government slashed public sector wages by 25 percent in July to meet the conditions of a €20 billion ($25 billion) loan from the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, and the European Union.
Romania's economy is expected to officially shrink by more than 1 percent this year, after it declined by 7.1 percent in 2009.
Workers walk out at British Coca-Cola plant
Workers at a Coca-Cola bottling plant in Edmonton, north London, took strike action on Wednesday in a dispute over pay. The workforce, members of the Unite trade union, are demanding the drinks corporation increase its 2 percent pay offer to reflect the cost of living.
The 2 percent offer is less than half the rate of inflation.
Unite said the walkout will lead to millions fewer bottles of Coke being produced this month. The Edmonton plant produces about 2 million bottles every 24 hours. Coca-Cola has seven factories in the UK.
Further strikes are planned for later this month.
Strike looms on UK's Southern Railway
Railway workers at a train operating company are threatening to strike due to the rise in the number of attacks on staff. They say Southern Railway is putting staff at risk by cutting back on security measures.
Operations staff, including ticket inspectors and guards at Southern Railway, will be balloted in the next week by the Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers (RMT) union, and a full strike is expected before Christmas if members vote for a walkout.
Last year Southern Railway decided not to renew its contract with security company Meteor, which guarded known trouble hotspots on the network.
Instead, in April, Southern and British Transport Police (BTP) set up a team of Rail Neighbourhood Officers that work across the network. The BTP said reported assaults on staff rose by 22 percent between April and September this year, compared to the same period in 2009.
A total of 49 staff assaults have been reported since April.
Forestry workers set to strike in Finland
Industrial action by workers in the Finnish forestry industry is set to begin on October 1, due to the failure to reach agreement with management over contracts.
The Wood and Allied Workers Union under the Central Organisation of Finnish Trade Unions (SAK) is currently in contract negotiations.
The industrial action will stop production at the factories of UPM-Kymmene Wood, Stora Enso Wood Products, Metäsliitto Osuuskunta, Versowood and Vapo Timer. Around 40 workplaces and over 4,000 workers are to participate in the initial stage.
If no results are reached in the negotiations, the strike is to extend to the Finnish Forest Industries Federation and the Union of Salaried Employees.
Irish National Gallery workers set to strike
Staff at the National Gallery of Ireland have voted for 24-hour strike action over management failure to implement a Labour Court recommendation over working arrangements.
The Labour Court recommended, in January, that management engage with the SIPTU trade union to find a way to integrate staff without compromising security, according to the union organiser, Conor O'Gorman.
The 24-hour strike is to begin at one minute past midnight on October 13.
Italian footballers to strike
A strike was announced September 13 in a statement read by AC Milan defender Massimo Oddo and signed by the captains and union representatives of all 20 clubs in Serie A, in protest over their players' rights in transfer negotiations.
A collective contract between the Italian Players' Association (AIC) and Serie A guaranteeing players' rights expired in the summer.
Talks on a new deal failed, leading to plans to strike on September 25 and 26.
The dispute focuses on a proposal by clubs to limit the rights of players to refuse transfers, as Juventus defender Fabio Grosso recently did following an offer from AC Milan.
The clubs want the right to insist that when a player has a year remaining on his contract, he must accept a transfer to another, equally competitive club.
They propose that if the player does not agree to move, he must instead come to a deal over his contract with his current employers.
The players' association has threatened to strike several times recently over a variety of disputes, but it has always previously stepped back from the brink or come to an agreement with club bosses.
Serie A broke away from the rest of the Italian league at the start of the season, with club bosses eager to maximise profits.
Information centre workers demonstrate in Egypt
On September 14, hundreds of workers from information centres run by the Ministry of Local Development staged demonstrations in front of the Council of Ministers Cairo headquarters to protest their worsening financial situation.
The workers said the government had reneged on a July parliamentary resolution to raise their wages and pay their social security subscriptions. Some employees have threatened to call a hunger strike if their demands were not met.
Meanwhile, workers in provincial information centres refused to accept their monthly wages in solidarity with their colleagues in the capital.
Algerian dockers in wildcat strike
Dockworkers at the country's busiest port, operated by Dubai-based DP World, have staged an unofficial strike in protest over pay and at a management drive to raise productivity, industry sources told Reuters.
For several weeks stevedores at the port in the Algerian capital have operated an unofficial go-slow, with just a handful of containers being moved each day and a backlog of ships offshore waiting to unload, the sources said.
The terminal, re-named DP World Djazair, handles over 60 percent of the country's external trade, apart from crude oil and gas exports.
DP World, a unit of conglomerate Dubai World, took control of operations at the terminal last year under a 30-year operating concession.
Indebted parent company Dubai World is prepared to sell DP World, among other assets, to help raise billions of dollars it needs to repay creditors, according to a company document obtained by Reuters last month.
The terminal, near the centre of Algiers, was built by the former colonial power France, and much of the infrastructure dates back to this period.
Zimbabwean aircrews take industrial action
Pilots and cabin crew working for Air Zimbabwe went on strike Wednesday last week over pay and conditions. Prior to the dollarization of the economy, pilots used to earn the equivalent of US$5,000-7,000 and first officers the equivalent of US$3,000-5,000 a month.
In February, Air Zimbabwe cut the salaries to around US$1,200 a month. The aircrew struck demanding the restoration of the salary levels and the payment of arrears, which currently stands at US $1.2 million. The current dispute is costing the airline around US$0.5 million a day. As well as the salary cut, the airline is seeking to lay off around 500 staff.
Air Zimbabwe stated any aircrew member not returning to work by September 13 would be considered to have terminated their employment. The deadline passed, and the strike continues. The strike is affecting one of the airline's prestigious routes, London to Harare. Many passengers have been left stranded at Gatwick airport as a result of the action.
Nigerian medics continue long-running action
Nigerian doctors in Lagos state, who have been on strike for the last month, have received the support of the Nigeria Medical Association (NMA). The doctors are striking to demand the state government implements the previously nationally negotiated Consolidated Medical Salary Structure (CONMESS).
The state government claims it cannot afford to pay the 12,000 medical staff that would be covered by the CONMESS agreement in the state.
At a joint press conference on Monday, the NMA and the Medical Guild said that rather than negotiating the issue with the doctors and reinstating the sacked former guild chairman, Dr Ibrahim Olaifa, the state government, had issued an ultimatum to the doctors to return to work by September 7 or face the consequences. The doctors are pursuing their claim.
South Africa autoworkers strike
Workers covering the car components and fuel distribution sectors have been on strike for the last two weeks demanding a 15 percent pay increase and other benefits. The strike is having a big impact on car manufacturers because of the dwindling components supply.
Striking workers held a march and rally in Boksburg on Wednesday.
According to an Eyewitness News report, the Retail Motor Industry said it had reached an agreement with the workers' trade union, the National Union of Metalworkers of South Africa (NUMSA). NUMSA spokesman Castro Ngobese said, "We are taking the revised offer to our members, because the latest offer is worth being considered by our members", adding a mandate from the members would be needed. The article gave no details of the new offer.
NUMSA had to issue a statement the previous day denying claims by the employers that they had reached an amicable agreement with the union. Last week the workers rejected a revised offer from the employers of 10 percent.

Q: How to replace random number in asp.net/c with pictures? I am trying to replace random number with pictures. for example If random number is 1 show picture black.jpg:
Cache[diceKey] = r.Next(1, 5);  // random (1-4)

if (r.Next(1, 2) == 1 )
    image.BackImageUrl = "Images/black.png";

is there any solutions that I can show my picture if random number is 1?

A: Store your image urls in an array. Generate a random index to access the image:
string[] imageUrls = new [] { "foo.png", "bar.png", "foobar.png" };
// ...
Random r = new Random();
image.BackImageUrl = imageUrls[r.Next(imageUrls.Length)];

Update (still not getting the issue, though)
Only set a certain image if the generated random number is 1:
int i = r.Next(1, 5); // random (1-4)

Cache[diceKey] = i;

if (i == 1)
{
  image.BackImageUrl = "Images/black.png";
}

A: As I already said in my comment r.Next(1, 2) will always return 1, so you will always show that black image...
I think you should change your code to this:
var randomValue = r.Next(1, 5);  // random (1-4)
Cache[diceKey] = randomValue;

if (randomValue == 1)
    image.BackImageUrl = "Images/black.png";
else
    image.BackImageUrl = "";
