Jocelyn Braxton Armstrong is a ceramic artist whose sculptures have a fresh sophistication and modern aesthetic that link fine art with craft. Before devoting herself full-time to ceramics in 2001, Ms. Armstrong spent nearly 20 years as a freelance fashion stylist/editor in Manhattan. Since then, she has developed a signature technique of building black and white porcelain ceramic sculptures to look delicately stitched together.
Ms. Armstrong's talent has been recognized and her work critically acclaimed. She received an Artist Fellowship Grant from the Connecticut Commission on Culture and Tourism in 2008, and was granted prestigious Emerging Artist Awards from American Style Magazine in 2008, Ceramics Monthly in 2007, and The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum in 2005.

Linn Cassetta is a design professional with a background in apparel and footwear design, manufacturing and marketing. Her factory experience includes locations in Japan, China, Italy and Turkey. She has lived in London, Paris and New York. After receiving her BFA in Apparel Design from Rhode Island School of Design, she became the first American to be accepted at the Royal College of Art in London where she earned her MA. Her final degree show received standing ovations from such notables as Zandra Rhodes and Bill Gibbs as well as extensive coverage in the British fashion press. While at RCA she was a finalist in a British United Shoe Industry competition.
Her accomplishments at RCA drew the attention of Vogue editor Kay Hays which led to an immediate position at Andrew Geller Shoes. There she was mentored by both Bert Geller and Coty award winner Mabel Julianelli. She traveled frequently to the Geller factories in Civitanova Marche and throughout Italy where she learned every aspect of the shoe business from sample making to production. She and her team were instrumental in launching the first Calvin Klein shoe collection and later capturing a Vogue Shoe of the Year award.
Linn's talents as a rising star did not go unnoticed. She was recruited by Jerrell of Texas to create an upscale apparel label bearing her name, Linn Callahan. Her collection received stellar press coverage and was featured in the windows of Saks Fifth Avenue, New York which also housed a Linn Callahan boutique space. During this time she developed a relationship with C. Itoh, a large Japanese trading company which was producing many of her textiles and garments. C. Itoh asked her to become Design Director of a new international private label division. This position involved working directly with store buyers and executives to create in-store programs and required frequent travel to Tokyo, Osaka and Hong Kong to oversee completion of the products.
As a wife and mother of three (including one RISD grad) a hiatus from this demanding international travel schedule was necessary. During this period she focused her design efforts on fine decorative painting and trompe l'oeil. Her work was included in Martha Stewart's "New Old House" book. She also designed several restaurants, created several earthenware collections for Deruta of Italy and restored a c1900 French Villa, all of which were featured in numerous publications. She has been involved with Near and Far Aid, Builders Beyond Borders and served on the Board of Directors of Project Return.
Linn currently offers her fine eye in design and color consultation while working on a shoe collection and some long neglected canvases in her new studio at the American Fabric Arts Building.

@lnmop
Linda Colletta has been painting and creating art in various media for over 20 years. She currently defines her artistic approach as an abstract expressionist.
Linda first translated her passion for art into a 15 year professional career as a scenic painter in the music television industry before dedicating herself full-time to a painting career.
An immersion into color, composition and abstraction, Linda's work is collaboration between exploration and intention. Working in acrylics, oils and pastels -- drips, washes, scribbles, and other happy accidents evoke a feeling of freedom and unapologetic happiness. Linda studied at Parsons School of Design and works from her home studio in the AmFab Arts Building in Bridgeport, CT.
I used to be very concerned with making art that "meant" something, that said something about the world that was utterly unique and important. This concern consumed me; in fact it stopped me from painting for almost 15 years. Then one day it hit me, the "thing" that I wanted to say, the meaning that meant the most to me, that was always there but I was afraid to say, (as if it wasn't important enough)… beauty.
I like to make beautiful things. They make me happy.
It's my belief that this world could never have enough beauty added to it, in fact now, I can't think of anything more important than spending my days doing my part to add a bit more beauty, happiness, color, and flow to this world and to someone's life.
When I paint, it feels a bit like what I imagine channeling might feel like. I never know what will come out and it doesn't feel like me doing the painting. It always starts with a color, I get thinking about a color or a combination of colors and the way they ignite when next to one another. Then I just paint. I stay as far away from any preconceived plan or outcome of the work as I can. Of course, it is human nature to try to control and will things to go a certain way. So this is what I explore most in every piece, the balance between my will and the universe. It's always better when I let the universe win.

I grew up in a small town in the Catskill mountains on the banks of the Hudson River, so at an early age I strongly connected to the contours of the land and the rhythms of nature. As a child I spent summers on my grandmother's farm in Southwestern Massachusetts where horses, especially, captured my young imagination, imbedding in my psyche images of majestic size and graceful beauty.
These early images, coupled with a love of music and dance nurtured by my father, developed subconsciously over the years, giving rise to colorful, mysterious paintings of human figures and animals intertwined in the dance of life.
More recently my work has evolved and been strengthened by travels to Europe where the ancient architecture, art history, and pre-history of other cultures inspire new forms and colors in my figurative paintings, helping me to discover unexplored parts of myself.I grew up in a small town in the Catskill mountains on the banks of the Hudson River, so at an early age I strongly connected to the contours of the land and the rhythms of nature.

Lesley Koenig's adventures in the art world most certainly go back earlier than her first memory of getting a watercolor set. A six year old completely immersed in painting for the entire day without a break announced to the world that art was her calling.
Winning a scholarship in a competition turned Koenig's concentration to fashion. She attended Parson's School of Design and became an award winning clothing designer and illustrator traveling to Europe and Asia. The daily interactions of developing collections instilled Koenig with a keen sense of color, line, proportion and composition.
After moving out of her native New York to Southwestern Connecticut to raise a family, Koenig renewed her artistic passion for drawing and painting. She focuses on abstract expressionism, including abstract seascapes and abstract landscapes. Although she works spontaneously, her years in design is an integral component of her instinctive process.
As well as participating in all of the major art walks from Greenwich to New Haven and beyond, Koenig's work has been juried into national and regional solo and group shows in corporations, galleries and museums. She is a juried member of The National Association of Women Artists and sells her paintings internationally
Ayn Kraven
Abstract Artist working in Oils, Acrylics and Mixed Media
AK@AynKraven.com
AynKraven.com
Being the Artist I am today and seeing how my work has evolved, I can honestly say that I equal the sum of my life.
Art is part of my DNA, something I could never deny myself and, it has undoubtedly saved me many times over. Life for most of us has a tendency to take – but in my Art I have found so many gifts, so many understandings shown to me and such Freedom!!
Every canvas I begin teaches me something new. I find that the work will always show you what it wants to become and, persistence always pays off. I often work on a large scale. I find it lets me fully express myself, there is no intimidation, there is only Freedom one painting can change many times, It truly love the process, a crazy dance of love and hate, excitement, disgust then elation.
Being an abstract artist, I look to the 40's, 50's and 60's. I feel so connected with that whole time period and spend many mornings reading about their methods, their lives. I envy the connections they shared with each other; it was such an exciting time for the Abstract Artist. Such a moment!! For me, Abstract Art is a never-ending quest, when I work I feel like an explorer, architect and an archaeologist all rolled into one. It can be an emotion, a vision or certain color direction and you start building, exploring and then deconstructing to explore what is beneath. It's this madding organically raw, yet meditative dance that you do.
I like to work in Series, large and small scale at the same time and that will usually lead me into whatever my next Series will be. I am not a painter who wants to do something consistently over and over.
For myself, I have so many ideas that I want to explore that I will have to explore! Just the way that I love tight controlled work, equally as much as my loose work. I can swing back and fourth like a pendulum at times even enjoying both at once, hopping from a tight tape line to a free and loose deconstruction. Create & Release!!
In the end, you are the creation of your own experiences. The dysfunction of my childhood, the Art & Design Schooling in Switzerland and London, my very trying years in Parsons and surviving in New York City and the wisdom that comes from having your own family and lastly the DNA that always leads you to your truth.
When all is said and done, I invite the Viewer not to look at my work as a whole complete painting but, to be a part of my exploration of my layers or shapes and what emotions they might discover within themselves, what makes them connect. My hope is to elevate the Viewer to awaken the Viewer's DNA.

Holly Hawthorn found the ceramic studio in the basement of a now long obliterated old converted house on the campus of the University of Bridgeport in the 1970's She spent the next four years there and still has the dust of that encounter under her finger nails and in her soul. The magic and mystery of creating art sent her to the New School in NYC, The Athens Center, Greece, University of Urbino, Italy, Cambridge and MECA, Maine. The inspiration for her current work is derived from the vast collection of shells, stones and beach rake items gleaned from the shores of Maine to Ireland. The seashell is a timeless symbol that for her evokes the playfulness of time spent at the beach and the wonder of nature. These illustrative and playful works are meant to conjure a smile and a memory in the viewer. As an eclectic artist she produces monotype and dry point prints that focus on water themes.

The Wallflower Project
wall·flow·er
noun /wôl-flou(-ə)r/
2. A person who has no one to dance with or who feels shy, awkward, or excluded at a party
The body of work entitled, "The Wallflower Project", examines the social stigma of being a "wallflower" through the use of portraits created with a cardboard pinhole camera, digital pinhole photography and mixed media. Although I never thought of myself as a "Wallflower", I started thinking about the social stigma after a conversation with another artist at a party. She had told a story about how she would enter a party and everyone would look at her husband - not her. I, too, had experienced this at social events. My husband and I would be talking in a group and all of the attention would be on my husband, who many think is an actor. I happily would observe the exchange allowing myself to fade into the background.
With that in mind, I began to research the term. The word "wallflower" was first used in the early 1800's to refer to a woman without a partner at a dance, presumably sitting against the wall. Also in the 1800's, wallcovering, such as wallpaper, started to grow in popularity due to a repeal of a "Wallpaper Tax" in England and the development of mass produced wallpapers. Based on this history, I conceived of The Wallflower Project using double exposures (portrait + wallpaper) with a pinhole camera to create an image whereby the subject literally fades into the background. The resulting images create a ghostly portrait that requires the viewer to take notice and spend time to see the person before them. Since the original conception, I have been exploring other mediums including bringing the wallflower off the wall in my installation, "The Wallflower at the Dance".

Meighan Morrison's work is large in scale, limited in palette, minimal in composition and high in contrast. Organic textures juxtaposed against bold geometric shapes. Intentional simplicity and/or untamed gestures are favored over precision or intricate detail.
Meighan's hope is that her paintings can serve as a small but tangible rebellion against an ever more complicated world and everything in it, including ourselves. A reminder of the enduring powers of simplicity and freedom to soothe and to satisfy, if not solve, our human condition.

Grab the app on all the things
Where to find the Disney Plus apps for download: Every platform in 2021
There are a lot of places to watch Disney Plus, so here's a handy list.
James Bricknell
Source: Ara Wagoner / Android Central
With the launch of Disney+ come and gone, now you have to figure out where to download all the apps — and there are so many platforms to find! We have a list here of all the places you can get the app right now, and I'm sure the list will grow over time.
On your Roku
Roku is the most popular way to stream content in the U.S., so of course, Disney would make sure there is a Roku app. It's straightforward to find too, head over to the channel store on your Roku, or click this link
A lot of Roku TVs have the Disney+ logo plastered all over them right now, so you should be able to find it easily.
On your Fire Stick
Amazon's Fire stick is used the world over and hosts all the primary streaming services, including Disney+. Happily, getting the app for your fire stick is also the same as getting it for your Fire tablet, so the process is simplified.
Just head over to the Amazon Appstore to download it to any of your Amazon-branded devices, well almost all, they don't have an Echo Show or Kindle version; yet!
Source: Android Central
We have been using smartphones for the last decade, so I think we all know how to get apps. If you have an Android device you can download it on the Google Play Store — that works for Android TV as well as phones and tablets — and if you are using an Apple device, including iPhones, iPads, and Apple TV, then you can grab the app from Apple App Store.
One of the best parts of these streaming services is having them available on mobile. There is nothing quite like sitting on a train, with your headphones on and being able to watch the Mandalorian.
On your console
Right now, you can watch Disney+ plus on two of the big three consoles. The Nintendo Switch app isn't available yet, but hopefully, it will be in the new year. Right now you can get the Xbox app over at the Microsoft Store and if you are a PlayStation user you can grab the app from the PlayStation Store.
Where to find it on your Smart TV
Almost any smart TV is likely to have a Disney+ app. Whether it's a TV with Roku built-in, your Samsung smart TV, or your Web OS LG TV, it's likely to be one of the first things you see when you turn on the TV. Installing it depends on the TV model, but you should be able to navigate to the Disney+ logo and click install.
Unfortunately, there are no links we can give you for the Smart TVs as they don't exist outside its ecosystem, but it shouldn't be too hard to find, especially if your TV has a search function.
Casting to your Chromecast
Both the iOS app and the Android app will let you cast to a Chromecast. In case you don't know, a Chromecast is a small dongle that allows you stream services to your TV, and it's controlled through your phone. It's a simple way to get quality content, and it's cheap. You can pick up the latest Chromecast — the Chromecast Ultra — at Amazon for just $70. The Chromecast Ultra will also stream those excellent Disney+ shows in 4K so you can watch the Mandalorian the way it was meant to be seen.
To watch Disney+ through your Chromecast, make sure your phone and your Chromecast are on the same Wi-Fi network. When you load the app, you should see the cast button in the top right — it looks like a square with a Wi-Fi symbol in the bottom corner — if you tap that icon, you will see it animate as it connects. Once it's connected, a Disney+ splash screen will appear on your TV, waiting for you to choose a show.
Windows 10 Progressive Web App
Progressive Web Apps (PWA) are incredibly helpful when a company doesn't make an app for Windows 10. Strangely, Disney didn't make an app for Windows even though they already have one for Xbox, especially as the Xbox app kind of works on Windows 10.
Making a PWA for Windows 10, will create a self-contained instance of Disney+ that you can pin to your taskbar and access anytime you need.
So many options
Disney has made a concerted effort to make sure you can use Disney+ on almost anything with a screen — except for your Echo Show, unfortunately — so however you want to watch, there is likely an app for it. I'm partial to the Chromecast myself; it's simple and streams in 4K so I can get the most out of the shows I watch.
A magical streaming service
The new home for anything Disney's light touches.
Disney, Star Wars, National Geographic, Marvel, Disney Channel, and Fox programs are all finally on one service for you to savor on all your devices.
$7/month at Disney+
Here are the best apps to stream movies and TV on Windows 10
The number of streaming services continues to grow. Toss apps to rent and buy movies on top, and there are a lot of options. Here are the best apps to stream movies and TV shows on Windows 10.
James built his first PC when he was 13 and has never looked back. He can be found on Windows Central, usually in the corner where all the 3D printers are, or huddled around the Xbox playing the latest games.

Board & Governance Matters
Compensation Committee
Refreshing the board
Board and committee effectiveness
Lead Director Network, April 2015
On March 17, 2015, Lead Director Network (LDN) members met in New York to discuss different approaches to refreshing the board. This ViewPoints presents a summary of the key points, along with background information and selected perspectives that members shared before and after the meeting.
Lead directors shared ideas and practices on three broad topics in their discussion of board refreshment:
Board composition
Investors are putting more pressure on boards to think like owners as they oversee management. In response, boards are taking steps to ensure that they are composed of non-executive directors who can guide the company and its strategy into the future. In many cases, this means considering new directors who have different professional skills and experience or can enhance board diversity with respect to age, gender, and ethnicity. Directors highlighted the benefits of adding new members who can bring fresh perspectives to boardroom discussions.
Director selection
A board must be small enough so that each director feels ownership of the strategy and responsibility for the major issues the company faces without being overwhelmed by the workload. In most cases, the size of the board is not constant and can grow or shrink to meet the needs of a company, its directors, and other stakeholders. When a company chooses to add a new director, the lead director plays a central role as part of a recruiting team that involves other directors and managers, often with the assistance of a search firm. Recruiting is a two-way process in which the board and the candidate must become comfortable with each other to preserve collegiality and board chemistry.
Assessment and turnover
As boards consider the skills and experience they need for the future, they must also question whether existing directors still provide enough value to remain on the board in an era in which average board tenure will increasingly come under the microscope of investors. Though age limits are still the leading mechanism for board turnover, board directors are open to alternative ways to refresh their ranks, including term limits and average tenure targets. Boards are also implementing more robust evaluation processes that often include individual director evaluations. The result is that in many cases underperforming directors are either improving or leaving the board.

This trip was about trying to get more people involved in more sports. Also people who don't really enjoy sports to get involved.
When we arrived Craig showed us a slideshow on what the Sports clubs and hubs was about and what we had to do to get involved.
The first activity was writing down what sports clubs we would like to do. Then we talked about why we do sports and what it means.
The next activity, we learnt why we need to communicate, by holding a long piece of rope and we were not allowed to have both hands off the rope, we were only allowed one hand off and one hand on.
they were have a plan, mental toughness, hunger to achieve, people skills and breaking barriers.
Then we had the activity where we had to build a tower out of newspaper and Sellotape and a time limit of 5 minutes. This was about communication again.
We watched a video of Craig after a 20 minute delay. The reason for this was thinking what he could have done to keep warm, and control the controllables.
We had an great time there!!!

Oregon State Weather in August
What's the weather like in Oregon State in August?
Oregon State weather in August is very warm with lots of sunshine throughout the month. It's a popular time to visit and you'll get to enjoy the natural beauty of Oregon when it's basking in the warm summer sunshine.
Geographical influences
The region has a Pacific North-west climate, which means there's a lot of rainfall all year-round. However, there's significantly less rain in the summer with August being one of the driest months of the year. It's a great time to visit Portland for a traditional city break or you can immerse yourself in nature with an exciting hike through the countryside and woodlands until you reach Crater Lake.
Temperatures reach highs of 20°C in August, which is the warmest it's been all year. You can enjoy the 13 hours of sunshine relaxing on the beach or with a stroll through the Japanese Gardens in Portland. Winds have calmed down in the summer, lowering to speeds of just 6mph. Humidity levels have also decreased since last month to average lows of 46% with a monthly rainfall of just 28mm.

Local accounting body in Africa's copper producer, the Zambia Institute of Chartered Accountants (ZICA) on 24 Dec signed an agreement with the world's largest construction company, China State Engineering Corporation for the erection of a USD 210 million 5,000 seater international convention center in Livingstone.
The signing was flagged by ZICA President Jason Kazilimani in the company of dignitaries to include Hapenga Kabeta (outgoing CEO), Bona Kashinga (CEO designate), Contract manager for Zambia branch Chen Bowei and Livingstone tourism association chairperson Rodney Sikumba. The entourage took time to view the area where the stone will be laid for construction purposes.
"We are fully on course for the construction of the Shungu Namutitima convention center which will comprise world class facilities with 2 hotels, one a 5 star while the other a 3 star. We have followed the due process in finding a contractor for the construction and this will be China State Construction Engineering Corporation," Kazilimani said.
Environment impact assessment will commence soon.
"We are the biggest construction company in the world and have the ability to execute this project," Contract Manager for CSCEC Zambia branch Chen Bowei said.
Livingstone tourism association chairperson Rodney Sikumba was elated by the development.
"The more facilities in the city of Livingstone, the more the flights and domino effects it will create," he said.
ZICA's investment in a convention center aligns with the states declaration of Livingstone the tourist capital as a national conference center in line with country's efforts to boost tourism potential. The local accounting body has raised the bar by embarking on this lucrative project that will not only add to its bottom line but will boost tourism and put Livingstone on the map in the next 4 years when the project completes.
Why are we so one-track minded? Why do we have to concentrate all tourism facilities in Livingstone? How about the Northern Circuit – Kasaba, Nsumbu, Tanganyika area?
… as a charted accountant myself as well as a PhD holder… this is what we call a cargo cult mentality.
There is nothing wrong with constructions but what is the ultimate plan? Have we thought about this to the last layer of business thought? For such an amount of investment, you know as well as we all do that you should.
How do you in all honesty just say the more facility the more flight. This is called a cargo cult mentality and we should rethink the way we develop. It is a good idea, but I implore you to add more thought to it than telling us a simplistic conclusion of the business model.
Brazil soccer stadiums: from World Cup areanas to white elephants at a cost of $500 million.
Zambia is not as rich and such a plan should go ahead only with great detail of thought and plan. It is good but the details are so light… I take it there is more detail, which is a secret!
That is right…..but all this is PF corruption, they are selling us things we do not need and borrowing hudge sums to build those things……this all PF and lungu corruption.
Look at the new airport in Lusaka, they borrowed money to cater for a 14 fold increase in customer numbers…again corruption. Some one is skimming commission ….
Why not just call it mosi -o-tunya which means the same thing and the name is popular???? They just went for another local name ..SMH. Shungu Namutitima is mouthful and it will be a tongue twister to international guests. ..clearly they didn't have them in mind.
Shungu Namutitima is Toka, no?
You are right that's Toka Leya not Silozi. In Lozi, its Musi o Tunya.
Can they revamp the Land Rover assembly plant in Livingstone? That would have been greater news. If this is funded not by Zambian Tax payers, then we are okay with it, if not we refuse it, and the foundation stone.
How old are you? Livingstone had FIAT assembly plant. Landrover?
This is much better investment than shopping malls.
I do agree with someone on this page who said why should zambia only concentrate on one corner of the nation for tourism , and ignoring other areas in the country where there is tourism potential fore instance the northern circuit kasaba bay tanganyika and many more other in the north and some other provinces .
Zambians need to be pragmatic in developing the nation rather than be slow minds who are scared of thinking wider , leaders need to stretch their their minds to spar this nation to higher degrees .
It is rather boring to keep on singing the same song for ages , find new grounds for new excitements dont tell us that zambia is only lusaka southern province.
This is not a government scheme, so the investor can build anywhere in Zambia, besides, there is still scope for more growth in Livingstone.
$210 million invested in consumerism again…why cant you accountants invest in Agriculture? Who is going to stay in all those hotels? Are they Chinks the only builders in the world?
This c onstruction center will be called the Shungu Namutitima, named after the mosi -o-tunya falls.
Ba Editor please go do night school classes and make sure there are no examination leaks!
How will this project be funded? Does ZICA intend to go into partnership with other financiers or do they intend to borrow or what?
I take it the Chinese are building this for themselves. We have a convention centre in Lusaka which no one knows how to manage. The Chinese will be running this facility for sure and Zambia will not make any revenue nor will it employ people. How much do we owe the Chinese? If we cannot pay them back, this will be there's for the next 99 years. Politicians are so busy stealing and we have a President who travels for no reason sometimes. Fire tender scandals among other scandals could have paid for a convention centre. All money stolen by politician could have gone towards infrastructure development by greed is the number one priority by politicians.

Q: Inserting contents of array into object not working I'm creating an invoice object that takes a product line parameter. Because an order can have many products, I'm using an iterator that collects an array of line items. $prod_line is an array that holds the collection of product line arrays.
I was hoping I would be able to inject the contents of $prod_line into my object, but I only have success when using $prod_line[0] or $prod_line[1].
I have tried a few techniques to remove the parent layer array, such as array_merge_recursive -- but I've been stuck on this silly issue for a few hours with no luck and really need to progress.
Help would be much appreciated!!

A: Once you populate $prod_line items do an additional $prod_line[] to add the Amount, array. Its not because its an array that it strips it it's because its not the correct structure.
Your essentially doing:
<?php
$prod_line = [
    ['key' => 'value'],
    ['key' => 'value']
];

$final = [
    $prod_line,
    [
        'key' => 'value'
    ]
];

Which will produce:
Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [0] => Array
                (
                    [key] => value
                )

            [1] => Array
                (
                    [key] => value
                )

        )

    [1] => Array
        (
            [key] => value
        )

)

Which is not the correct structure.
Instead you should be building your final array as you go along.
<?php
function create_qb_invoice()
{
    foreach ($az as $order_id => $order) // FOR EACH ORDER
    {
        $prod_line = [];

        foreach ($order['products'] as $product) // FOR EACH PRODUCTS
        {
            $prod_line[] =
                [
                "Id" => $line_id,
                "LineNum" => $line_id,
                "Amount" => $product['ItemPrice']['Amount'],

                    "TaxCodeRef" => [

                    ],
                    "UnitPrice" =>  $product['ItemPrice']['Amount'],
                    "Qty" => $product['QuantityOrdered'],
                ]
            ];
            $line_id++;
        }

        $prod_line[] = [
            "Amount" => $order['OrderTotal']['Amount'],
            "DetailType" => "SubTotalLineDetail",
            "SubTotalLineDetail" => []
        ]

        $myInvoiceObj = Invoice::create([

            ]

ABSTRACT: Using Core and Log Data to Redesign a Waterflood in the Dundee Limestone Formation (Middle Devonian), South Buckeye Oil Field, Gladwin Co., MI
Nearly 5.5 million barrels of oil have been produced from the South Buckeye oil field since its discovery in 1935. Recovery efficiency was estimated at less than 30% when Wiser Oil initiated a waterflood in the early 1970's. They drilled 40 new wells, acquired modern wire-line logs, and selectively cored 25 of the wells. Little of this new data was used in designing the waterflood that was developed using alternating rows of injector and producer wells. The field changed ownership in the late-1980's, and by the late-1990's, abandonment of the project was being considered due to poor waterflood performance.
Our study evaluated the sedimentary facies using all existing data, identified flow units and formulated a reservoir model with recommendations for redesign of the waterflood. Three facies, identified from core, were found to possess sufficient porosity and permeability to be considered reservoirs. The Stromatoporoid Boundstone; Crinoidal Grainstone; and Dolomitic, Silty Wackestone facies are laterally and vertically discontinuous over the field area. The Stromatoporoid Boundstone facies is the primary reservoir. Key factors in the redesign include structural position, thickness, and lateral continuity of the reservoir facies.
Conclusions of this study are: 1) Stromatoporoid Boundstone reservoir is laterally discontinuous between northern and southern portions of the field; 2) the northern lobe may have the greatest potential for enhanced recovery; 3) injector wells relocated near the periphery in the northern lobe with producer wells in the middle of the lobe should be the most productive pattern.

Why Westfield being built is so important for Croydon's future
Reporter Sarah George gives her opinion on just why it's vital the Westfield/Hammerson development now gets built
After what feels like an age of feverish anticipation and a never-ending series of setbacks, the Westfield/Hammerson development has finally been approved by Croydon Council .
The £1.4 billion project will see the creation of 45,000 more square feet of retail space between 6,270 and 7,048 full-time-equivalent jobs - but a four-year wait has left people jaded and uninspired about what it means for Croydon's future.
Most gripes voiced on social media about the development being green-lit have been about how many times it's been delayed, which is hardly surprising given that residents have pictured having a Westfield in their town centre "soon" for years now, since Westfield announced an interest in redeveloping the Whitgift Centre back in 2011.
The initial masterplan for the redevelopment was approved by councillors in 2013, with a view for work to begin in 2018 at the latest.
Council leader Tony Newman has now said work will begin in 2019, but despite all the disappointments and delays, I still believe - as I'm sure many others do - that the creation of Westfield is vital to Croydon's future and something to keep being excited about.

Planning decision as it happened
Having lived in Croydon for 23 years, I saw first-hand how the borough changed when Centrale opened in 2004 and know the same will happen with Westfield.
Even though the Centrale development did disrupt traffic and was an eyesore while work was taking place, it was more than worth it - the town was given a fresh lease of life and became a go-to destination for a "big shop", attracting countless visitors from Croydon as well as neighbouring boroughs such as Bromley and Sutton.
On the way home from school, I would pass dozens of young people waiting to catch a bus to their new jobs in Centrale, and all anybody would talk about on a Monday morning was their weekend shopping trip with their families.
The mall became a source of excitement and a reason to be proud of Croydon - just like the Whitgift Centre was for my mum as a young woman new to the borough in the 1970s.

Croydon Council reveals Boxpark's progress with repaying its £3 million loan
But as time has passed, both Centrale and the Whitgift centre have aged and I have noticed my friends and family gravitating towards online shopping or a trip to Bluewater, rather than a stroll through Croydon.
I have noticed stores in the Whitgift Centre closing up shop, and I've seen Centrale almost devoid of shoppers on Saturday afternoons - people just aren't keen to go out in Croydon any more, which is a great shame when you consider how exciting a place it was to shop just a decade ago.
Westfield could bring back this buzz around Croydon.
15 cafés, bars and restaurants that opened or reopened in 2017
Moreover, with huge new tower blocks of hundreds of flats being built near East Croydon, the borough is becoming more of a hub for young people looking for a home in south London - which is all well and good if the town's shopping and leisure facilities can meet this increased demand.
A town can't just be a place to work and sleep - there needs to be a variety of places to shop and go out if the borough's image and economy are to improve - and if young people are to take pride in living here.
Croydon could undeniably become a thriving borough which people are keen to visit or to live in, but it's hard to see the borough's future as a destination or desirable place to live without picturing Westfield at the centre of it.
This is because we've all been imagining a future for our town with Westfield at its centre for years now.
What has the first year at Boxpark Croydon been like for its businesses?
We have an abundance of places to eat and drink, loads of street art to take pictures of and plenty of exciting events to attend - but a modern shopping offering is still missing.
As Croydon Central MP Sarah Jones put it, Westfield is the final "piece of the jigsaw" which will see the town centre "become the vibrant heart of Croydon once again".

As of late a number of set photos from HBO's Watchmen have begun to hit the web and as a result, we now have no idea what is going on with this show. The images haven't given us any real idea of what the show is about and has left us with more questions than answers. However, one thing we may know is that we will have some scenes set in the past thanks to one of our first looks at the set. And a new leak may further support this theory.
In the most recent set of images, we have gotten a look at what could be a scene set in the past.
As you can see the individuals in the images above appear to be dressed in period garb. We have been informed that the series will take place in the present so it doesn't seem likely this scene takes place in the present. However, it is still quite hard to tell what is going on in the scene.
We are hopeful we'll soon get some news on the show from HBO so to make sure you don't miss anything stay tuned to SuperBroMovies.

Sleaford Town held out to three minutes before half time when Dodci Agbenu gave the home side the lead.
Town's deficit was doubled nine minutes after the break when Jake Bettles struck for Desborough.
The home side then saw the game out, despite a late Sleaford reply from Joe Smith with four minutes remaining.
Sleaford: Hewitt, Brown (Hone), Hewitt, Elliot, Ward, Fenton (Newman), Millard, Smith, Oliver, Shaw, Walker (Allen).
Sleaford are at home to Holbeach United on Wednesday (October 28), kick-off 7.45pm.

Q: C++ chrono::system_clock::now() vs time(0) is there any significant difference between the chrono::system_clock::now() and time(0) functions, and their return value?
When should I use chrono::system_clock::now() instead of time(0), and vice versa ?

A: system_clock::now() vs time(0)

*

*system_clock::now() and time(0) measure the same thing:  Unix Time. This is unspecified by time(0), but true in practice.  It is also unspecified by system_clock::now() in C++11/14/17, but true in practice.  In C++20 it is specified by system_clock::now().

*The precision (seconds, microseconds, whatever) reported by system_clock::now() and time(0) is unspecified.  For system_clock, the precision can be discovered by your application, either at compile time or run time.  For time(0), the precision must be read by a human from the documentation.  The typical precision for time(0) is seconds.  For LLVM on Apple OS's, the precision of sytem_clock::now() is microseconds.  On gcc/Linux, nanoseconds.  And on Windows 1/10 of a microsecond.  Because of the design of <chrono> it is easy to write portable code that does not change with the underlying precision.

*The range of time(0) is unspecified, and on 32 bit machines typically about +/-68 years centered on 1970 (2038 is coming up fast...).  On 64 bit machines the range of time(0) is +/-292 billion years.  The range of system_clock::now() is discoverable at compile-time or run-time and is never less than +/-292 years (centered on 1970).  The finer the precision, the smaller the range.

*The return type of time(0) is typically a signed integral type, which runs the risk of being confused with all of the other integral types in your application (no type safety).  The return type of system_clock::now() is a class type that has the semantics of a time point.  It can not be confused with integral or floating point types.  It is a distinct type from a time duration.  Misuses of this time point in illogical ways are caught at compile time (strong type safety).

*time(0) interoperates with the rest of the date/time library in <time.h>.

*sytem_clock::now() interoperates with the rest of the date/time library in <chrono>.  This includes conversions to and from time_t returned by time(0).  In C++11/14/17, calendrical and time zone functionality does not exist, but can be added on by free, open-source libraries.1  In C++20, full calendrical and time zone support exists within <chrono>.
