Starfish on South Alamo Street, San Antonio
It's not every day that a father and son have restaurants located on the same street, just a few doors from one another, but such is the case for Rene and Diego Fernandez. The father-son duo are marking the King William neighborhood with new foods and flavors to inspire the ever-changing San Antonio dining set, first with Azuca, and now with the seafood-focused Starfish. The dining experience at Starfish is accented by the beautiful historic building which is filled with wonderful seaside delights, from vibrant paintings to gorgeous glass jellyfish, which dangle from the ceiling. We had the pleasure of talking with Chef Diego who filled us in on his much-buzzed about restaurant, which opened in June 2014. Read on to learn a little more about the Chef's beginnings, inspirations, favorite culinary destinations, and his advice for prospective cooks and restaurateurs! Thank you Chef Diego for sharing!

When did you first realize you wanted to be a professional chef?
The first time that I realized that I wanted to be a professional Chef was probably my first day in a professional kitchen. I began working at Azuca as a prep cook at the age of 16.
Tell us about your career path- where did you start off, what were you doing before? Soon after I started working at Azuca I enrolled at the CIA (Culinary Institute of America) in San Antonio. I would say the journey started there. During the nine month training at the CIA I was part of the opening Team as a line cook at the Grand Hyatt. I would wake up early to go to school and get to work right after I got out. After graduating I transferred to Hyde Park , NY and finished my studies there. During a seven month externship at a prestigious boutique restaurant in Cape May, NJ I honed some of the skills and work ethic I carry on today. Under the tutelage of Chef Lucas Manteca i understood more than ever who I wanted to become. Soon after that I traveled to Orlando, FL and worked for three years at the Ritz-Carlton. Much of who I am today is due to the military style brigade they ran at this particular property.

It's special that your family has been so incorporated in this line of work, especially with your dad just a few doors down from you at Azuca! What is that like and what can you say about your family-foodservice connection?
We are beyond blessed to be right next to each other. My father has been the role model, mentor, friend, and now best business partner I could ever imagine. Our relationship at work is just that. I think we both subconsciously leave our titles at the door once we step out through the restaurant doors. It's a wonderful balance we have. My wife is soon to give birth and so she is no longer cooking at Starfish. During the first few months she would be in charge of all the baking and pastry. Now those roles have been distributed throughout our team. Being a Peruvian national provides me with yet another perspective of the food and beverage world. All in all the we are there for each other emotionally and professionally.
Tell us a little bit about Starfish: the title, the concept, and what drew you to creating a seafood-focused menu? Has your love for seafood always been important?
An actual starfish is able to regenerate a limb if throughout its life it happened to lose one. I believe our menu concept and ideology is somewhat resemblant. As we continue to grow and change we keep in mind that in order to succeed you may have to lose a limb or two. We have changed our menu about four times in the time that we have been open. We do this to challenge ourselves and continue to evolve as cooks. I think our love for food in general is a common thread that connects us as a team. Seafood to me is personal. It's an intimate relationship that I grew up with. For most of my childhood there was a body of water within walking distance. Deep down I am biased towards marine life.
The whole aesthetic at Starfish from the furnishings to the integrity of the building, to the food is really something. What were you trying to achieve?
Honestly we did not have to do much to the building itself. For one, the building is part of the historic society so you can't do much changing structurally. Secondly, the shape the building was in gave Starfish its persona. As far as the artwork, we connected with several talented artists in San Antonio to give the place its justification, from reclaimed wood acrylic paintings to jellyfish lights hanging below the bar. For me there is a fine line between classy sealife motifs and going "overboard" with fish nets and life savers. We certainly wanted to give the place a sophisticated look yet relaxed ambiance.
Father / Son Duo: Chef Rene Fernandez and Chef Diego Fernandez
What is your earliest and/or most treasured food memory?
The first memory that captivated me took place in Puerto Rico. I was probably five years old. My mother took my brother and I to visit my father at the Dorado Hyatt. That day fisherman had caught what was probably an eight to nine foot marlin. We walked into the hotel's back entrance and met my dad in the butcher room. As we were entering he was making the initial cut. The rest is history.
Could you share some advice for aspiring chefs, students and hopeful restaurateurs?
To me as a student the most important part was to ask questions. In an age where everything can be found on the internet perhaps current students do not ask as much. Have a notepad with a pen or pencil on you at all times. If you think for a second about asking a question that you think you should know, whether it concerns a technique, method, history, etc. I can guarantee there are about five more students that are wondering the same thing. When you're working as a paid employee or a commis or stage, be humble, respectful, and quiet. At home, stay in tune with your career choice. Read, explore, and experiment to give yourself the best possible choice to succeed.
What experiences do you think have shaped you most as a chef?
There are many to name. But as a whole I could remember one common thread between all of them. The building of a team that has one goal in mind. There is power in that. And after your first couple kitchen experiences you thirst for that feeling. Lastly I would say that I gave myself at least one year at any job before moving on. It's important that as a professional you never burn bridges.
Where do you see the San Antonio food scene heading and how do you think it stands out in relation to Austin, Corpus, Dallas and Houston?
Its hard to say about the surrounding major cities because I haven't visited them in a while. But as for San Antonio, I am very proud to be back in this city. Not only are we NBA champions but the food scene here is progressing every day. I see the food scene being par with any major metropolitan city in the next five years. With outstanding restaurateurs like Andrew Wiseman, Johnny Hernandez, Jason Daddy, Mark Bliss, among many others we have the recipe for a success story.

What are some of your most prized tools in the back of the house?
The Vita-Mix is probably one of the more important pieces of equipment that we have. Pots and pans are also important to us. We take good care of these knowing that they will provide our guest with an exceptional end product.
The Mission Team is very excited to have you all in the neighborhood. Tell us a little bit about the building, being in San Antonio, and what your Southtown/ King William location adds to the experience.
The building has taken many roles throughout its existence. Originally this location was a hub for paint and sheet rock. The name was Menny's Paint Shop. For a time it served as a small market which I had the pleasure of visiting many times. Currently, I believe Starfish adds some nostalgia for people who may have lived in other major cities like Chicago, New York, or San Francisco. I've had several guests tell me that Starfish reminds them of a previous spot they would go to in one of these cities.
Which tastemakers, mixologists & foodservice professionals inspire you?
Heston Blumenthal, Morimmoto, Thomas Keller, Eric Ripert, Alain Ducasse, Wyle DuFrense, Ferran Adria, Joan Roca, Voltaggio Brothers, just to name a few.
Can you share with us your favorite culinary destinations?
There is no other city like New York City to dine in. Probably one of my favorite places. Also Lima, Peru changed my life. The freshness, variety, and application of chefs there is unbelievable. Mexico City is another mecca for humble food origins with an aftermath that makes you want to return.
A delicious tuna dish accented with flowers.
Which places are you're dying to go and explore for yourself? Any particular dining destinations on your list?
I really want to go to Spain and Italy. I think I'm half Italian and half Spanish deep down. Mugaritz is one of the restaurants i would love to dine at. Also Noma in Copenhagen.
Do you have a personal creed or ethos that you live by?
"Anything in life worth doing is worth overdoing. Moderation is for cowards." -unknown-
Lay out a perfect meal and wine/cocktail pairing for a first timer to Starfish.
For any first time diners, let me know and we will make a perfect custom meal for you!
What has been the biggest surprise in your life?
My wife surprising me with the news of our first baby.
Any fun quirks you can share about yourself?
In the mornings when I wake up my hand are raised in the air. Not sure why that happens.
Lastly, what's up next for the Starfish team?
James Beard.

MANUEL PELLEGRINI revealed that Pep Guardiola would succeed him at Manchester City to take the heat off his managerial rivals.
And the out-going City boss – a potential target for Everton – admits he will consider quitting the game if he cannot find the right job to go to next.
Pellegrini announced at the start of February that Guardiola would replace him as City manager this summer after Guardiola had confirmed his attention to work in the Premier League at the end of his three-year stay at Bayern Munich.
The former Barcelona coach was widely expected to arrive at the Etihad, given his previous working relationship at Barca with City power-brokers Ferran Soriano and Txiki Begiristain.
But with Arsenal's Arsene Wenger and Louis van Gaal, at Manchester United, coming under pressure from frustrated supporters of their clubs at the time, Pellegrini opted to put the record straight.
He said: "It was my decision. After Guardiola said he was coming to England it was my decision because all the media was talking about Guardiola here, Guardiola in Arsenal, Guardiola in Manchester United.
Pellegrini therefore took the hit and admits now it might not have been the best move, as his City side then hit a three-game losing streak which undermined their attempts to regain the Premier League title he secured in his first season in charge.
Indeed, following Pellegrini's announcement, City won only five of their last 14 league games to finish 15 points behind champions Leicester and scrape into Champions League qualification in fourth place in the final round of fixtures.
Pellegrini, 62, told The Guardian: "If I ask if I would do that again… I have some doubts.
"It's impossible to know if it was the right decision. But when you see the consequence of losing immediately three games in a row, when you are winning the last five or something.

Introduction to Airplane TravelEdit
Technological characteristicsEdit
An airplane is a fixed wing aircraft that is propelled forward by the thrust from a jet engine or rocket engine. The structural parts of an aeroplane is called the airframe. The main structural parts includes:
Large Horizontal wings: This often employs an air foil cross section shape which deflects the airflow downwards. As the aircraft moves forward, the downward airflow generates a lift force. This is the main principal of an aircraft which allows it to take flight.
Fuselage: This is the long thin body of the aircraft which is designed to be aerodynamic to maximise speed. The fuselage size determines the passenger capacity and payload of the aircraft.
Vertical and horizontal stabilizers: the vertical fin mounted at the rear controls the left and right movement of the aircraft. The horizontal fin, mounted at the tail, stabilizes the pitch (up or down) movement.
Landing gear: A set of wheels is crucial to ensure that the plane lands safely. Logically, they are needed to take off as well.
Main advantagesEdit
Speed: Airplanes are currently the fastest mode of transport for transoceanic trips. Shorter trips interstate trips are often quicker in comparison to ships and cars. The combination of the large horizontal fixed wing along with jet engines allows high speed air travel. Commercial jet airplanes can reach an incredible 740-930 km/h. For example, a medium length trip from New York to Detroit will take about 4.5 hours (including wait times in the terminal and the trip to the airport) while a car trip will take 9.5 hours.
Safety: Plan crashes are significantly rare. Statistically, the chance of death from a 1000 mile airplane trip is drastically less than that of a 100 mile car trip. It can be concluded that air travel is very safe, in comparison to car and bus trips.
Comfort: Airplanes are increasingly getting more luxurious due to the increase of air travel demand. The air craft is designed such that passengers feel comfortable for the duration of their trip. More comfort and services are available to commuters who are willing to pay for business class or higher.
Cost: When looking at interstate travel, flight tickets are not significantly more expensive relative to the fuel costs for cars and train tickets. The speed, comfort and safety of air travel simply outweigh the cost involved.
Main MarketsEdit
The main markets for the airplane includes: Transportation of goods, Passenger travel, recreation, military and research. Commercial airplanes accommodates for 4 billion passengers every year and transports more than 200 billion tonne-kilometres of freights annually.
History of Passenger TravelEdit
Alternative Transport Modes and their Limitations.Edit
The alternative mode of transport for long distance were ships. Some obvious limitations of ships is the speed. Modern day ships can reach approximately 56 km/h as supposed to airplanes reaching 740 to 900 km/h. From a ship owner perspective it is generally seen as expensive since fuel costs increase exponentially with speed and thus not economically efficient. It may be the best option when carrying significantly heavy bulk cargo due to its high capacity and weight carrying capabilities, but passengers may seek other options due to the cost.
Furthermore, bad weather at sea induces significant movement to the ship structure causing discomfort to commuters. The harsh movement of the sea during bad weather challenges the structural integrity of ships. It can be seen as a higher risk from a ship owner perspective compared to airplanes. It can also be difficult to monitor exact location in transit.
Due to Globalisation, the world is "getting smaller" and people are demanding faster modes of transport to conduct business in other countries. Taking a ship to another country can take days. With increased technology and a sequence of new aircraft invention, air travel became a more viable mode of transport as it is safer and faster.
Invention of AirplanesEdit
The Collection of ExpertiseEdit
The history of aviation and airplane development is a result of heroes and heroines who took the risk of manning underpowered aircrafts to accomplish amazing feats. An odd collection of expertise were involved in the development of airplanes including engineers, scientists, entrepreneurs, solders and even just adventurers who seek the thrill of flight. They were driven by personal agendas to push cultural boundaries.
Modern day aircraft production employs thousands of expertise to integrate their skills to produce a phenomenal machine that can do more than just fly. These expertise can include, electrical engineers for wiring, software engineers for programming the aircraft to do specific tasks, mechanical and aeronautical engineers to optimise the performance of the aircraft, marketing specialists to conduct research on what consumer need in their product and etc
The Initial Airplane DesignEdit
1903 saw the Wright brothers experimenting with a series of gliders. Eventually they engineered and constructed the Kitty Hawk which was the first controlled aircraft with sustained flight.
In 1914, the gyrostabilizer was introduced in aircraft which enables controlled flight keeping it level without the aid of a human pilot. During World War 1, aircrafts were engineered to reach higher speeds, with greater manoeuvrability, dramatic improvements in aerodynamic structure, control and propulsion systems. This is to gain advantage during air combat during the war.
The first economical commercial aircraft was released in 1933 called Boeing 272 which had a twin engine with variable pitch propellers with ample cruising speed and excellent take off. A radar was successfully incorporated into air travel for effective navigation and tracking. This increased the safety of planes and slowly started getting attention from general public.
Prior to 1958, commercial airplanes were driven by propellers. Propeller-driven aircrafts were unpressurised with a capped cruising altitude of only 12 thousand feet. This meant that they were unable to fly over bad weather which caused frequent turbulence, delays and air sickness amongst passengers was common. The biggest shift from initial technology to Predominant technology in Aviation history is the shift from propeller driven aircraft to jet powered aircraft. It simply offered faster speeds, fuel efficiency and higher carry load.
First jet aircraft to enter mass production was called Lear Jet 23. This eventually lead to the introduction of the most successful turbo-fan powered commercial aircraft ever produced. It optimised speed, comfort and safety for the commuters. They were advanced enough to reach above 33 thousand feet and avoid bad weather to allow for a more comfortable travelling experience for the commuter.
Early Market DevelopmentEdit
In 1918, the Post Office began administering airmail routes operated by U.S. Army pilots and aircraft. A rudimentary transcontinental infrastructure of navigational lights and airfields developed to support the nascent airmail service. In 1925, Congress passed the Contract Air Mail Act, popularly known as the Kelly Act after its principal congressional sponsor, authorizing the Post Office to award routes and payments to private air carriers
In the early stages of aircraft development there was limited aircraft performance due to insufficient technology. This doomed most attempts of passenger service. In 1918, the airline services were predominantly catering for airmail industry as the Post Office began administrating airmail routes.
The introduction of twin engine airplanes or most notably the Douglas DC-2 offered reliable passenger service due to its high payload, sufficient size and power with an acceptable level of comfort. This is where passenger services began.
Birthing Phase of AirplanesEdit
Policies in the Birthing PhaseEdit
In the early days of aviation travel, there were many political barriers for airport-to-airport services within the US. This prohibited commuters to reach their desired destinations
"Freedoms of the Air" are international commercial agreements that give permission for airlines to enter and land in another country's airspace. The "Freedoms of the Air" were formulated in 1944 in an international gather held in Chicago to form unity in air commerce. The policies allowed airplane travel to significantly rise in popularity as a transportation mode for long distance travel. There are nine "Freedoms of the Air":
First Freedom: The right for an airline from country A to fly over country B.
Second freedom: The right for an airline to stop and land at another country to refuel.
Third freedom: The right for an airline to deliver passenger revenue from country A to country B.
Fourth freedom: the right for an airline to carry revenue passengers from another country back to the home country.
Fifth freedom: The right of the airline to take passengers from home country A, deposit them in country B, and then take them to country C.
Sixth freedom: The right of the airline to take passengers across two foreign countries provided it touches down in home country.
Seventh freedom: The right for an airline to take passengers from one foreign country to another foreign country without touching down at home country
Eighth freedom: The right of an airline to carry passengers from one point in the home country to another point. This is also known as Cabotage.
Ninth freedom: The right of an airline from a foreign country to take passengers from one point in the foreign country to another point in that same country.
Growth Phase of AirplanesEdit
The role of private and public sectors in growthEdit
The Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB) was an agency of the Federal Government that regulated aviation services. This included passenger airline services and provided investigation services if a crash were to occur.
The airline Deregulation Act 1978 caused a major change in the airline industry. It deregulated the airline industry in the United states by gradually removing the federal government control. It removed many governmental airline fares, changed routes and made it easier for market entry of new airlines.
American-publicly-owned carriers were allowed to offer their own fares and given more authority in developing routes. The competition increased and hence the airline fares decreased over time. This introduced a free market in the commercial airline industry which lead to an increase number of passengers, increase number of flights and decreased fares. This constituted to the growth fares of airplane travel.
Mature Phase of AirplanesEdit
Opportunities for the re-invention of Airplanes for the FutureEdit
A mature phase constitutes a fairly stable period in terms of profitability for airlines. However increasing controversies arose over service quality and passenger treatment in terms of flight delays. In 2010 and 2011U.S Department of Transportation warranted several policies that provide adequate modifications for passengers in unfortunate events such as delays. This caused many airlines to focus on customer service and rose particular interest in the quality of the aircraft in terms of comfort and passenger capacity.
Airplanes can better serve the needs of today and tomorrow if airplanes have a larger passenger capacity. This can mitigate issues of last minute bookings not being successful due to full capacity. Air craft can be bigger to increase comfort and it can potentially be faster with increased technology to cut travel times.
Quantitative AnalysisEdit
In order to determine the birthing, growth and maturity phase of airplanes, the number of passengers on yearly basis was collected. This conveys on the popularity of airplanes. The data was collected from The World Bank Data on the number of passengers using airplanes from 1973 to 2017. This range of data captures most of the lifecycle of the airplane and will give sufficient information.
The model used to produce the graph is given by the following: S(t) = K/[1+exp(-b(t-t0)]
S(t) is the number of passengers using airplanes
t the number of years
t0 is the inflection time
K is saturation status level,
b is a coefficient.
ResultsEdit
The following data was produced after using the model and it was graphed (given below)
Passengers S(t) = K/[1+exp(-b(t-t0)]

K 40696181786
b 0.05028239
tnought 2063.319694
Best Fit at K=300000
Birthing phaseEdit
It's hard to pinpoint when the birth phase occurred as the data collected does not date back far enough. In saying so, it is possible that the birthing phase started after 1918 when Post Office authorised air routes to private companies which lead to passenger services.
Growth PhaseEdit
There seems to be a gradual increase in the growth of passengers throughout the life-cycle of airplanes. However it seems to be increasing faster after 2009. This can be explained through more affordable fares, more comfortable airplanes and improved services.
Mature PhaseEdit
It is difficult to pinpoint the maturity phase of Airplanes. It suggests that airplanes have not yet peaked and still yet to reach its maximum potential. It is still in the growth phase accordingly to the graph as the number of passengers continue to grow every year.
Interpretation of the modelEdit
By simple observation, it is clear that the S curve correlates quiet closely to the model. There are regions where it may be off, particularly from 2003 to 2009.
In general it can be concluded that the model correlates well with real life statistics and therefore it is an accurate model that can be used effectively to predict different life-cycle stages of transport. Furthermore, the RSQ is very close to 1 and thus implying the model is a good fit to real life data (Generally the data is considered a good fit if RSQ is close to 1)
It is important to note that although the model correlates closely to the data, it is not perfect. It assumes a gradual increase with no inconsistencies. This is not the case in real life as many incidents can cause the passengers to drop drastically such as market crashes. This cannot be picked up by the model.

In a blow to the Indian digital coupon industry, Sequoia Capital-backed daily deal startup Nearbuy has shaved off more than 10% of its workforce due to tough business conditions, including drying-up of funds.
This follows recent exit of two Nearbuy co-founders, Sachin Kapur and Ankur Sarawagi.
"Headcount has been reduced from 431 to 383," said Ankur Warikoo, CEO of the Gurgaon-based company. "All except 17 departures were on the basis of the annual appraisal results that we conduct every year in February and March. The 17 departures were because we reconsidered entering into food delivery and closed down our products business, a legacy from Groupon - admittedly we went into a cash conservation mode because of the changed funding environment. No raises were given and spending on non-people elements was controlled."
Nearbuy was formed in August last year when Sequoia Capital helped it break away from its Chicago-based parent Groupon after pumping in Rs 100 crore. Sequoia holds a large stake in the company along with Groupon.
Nearbuy offers its users hyperlocal deals on everything from restaurant meals to movie tickets.
"The coupon industry is stagnant. Most of the players are finding it difficult to rope in big brands and provide offers on them because these brands will not do it themselves. The only other way is for coupon companies to burn cash and offers deals to acquire users, which is not possible if one doesn't have funds," said senior industry executives.
Although executives at Nearbuy sounded jittery about their future in the company, Warikoo insisted that revenue has increased by three times since March and business remained strong.

Nervi est un quartier résidentiel de la ville de Gênes, en Italie. Nervi était une commune à partir de 1861, avant d'être rattachée à la ville de Gênes en 1926.

Géographie
Nervi est situé dans le municipio IX Levante, à la périphérie orientale de Gênes, en bordure de la mer de Ligurie. Le quartier est traversé par le torrent Nervi qui se jette en mer près de la marina.

Son charme lui vient entre autres d'un petit port touristique, d'une longue côte rocheuse sur laquelle a été construite la promenade Anita Garibaldi.

Trois parcs sont insérés dans l'urbanisme du quartier, appelés Parchi di Nervi, avec, en leur enceinte, deux théâtres où s'est souvent tenu un festival d'été de ballets, et la villa Saluzzo Serra qui abrite la galerie d'Art moderne de Gênes.

Les hauteurs plongeant dans la mer garantissent à Nervi un climat particulièrement agréable. En hiver, il arrive que la température à Nervi soit plus élevée de 10 degrés par rapport au reste de Gênes. Mais les  sur une plus longue durée présentent Nervi et Pegli comme les lieux du meilleur climat du pays génois et de toute la Ligurie après Ospedaletti.

Personnalités
 Louis-Emmanuel Corvetto (1756-1821), homme politique, est inhumé dans l'église Saint-Cyr.

Dans la fiction
Dans le film Palombella rossa de Nanni Moretti, le personnage principal, alors tout jeune, marche sur la promenade du bord de mer de Nervi avant d'aller jouer au water-polo dans la piscine près du petit port.

Studies Say Everyone Should Wine a Little Every Day!
However, for the health benefits, I always try to move above and beyond my taste buds – hence why I've tried blueberries so many times and have failed so spectacularly. Well, it's the same with red wine; getting through 6 to 8 ounces a day or so is pretty brutal, and it's not even really that much.
Usually I drink it while I'm preparing dinner, or while I'm eating dinner, because the other tastes help to cancel out the flavor of the wine … And I can't really say that I've noticed much of a difference, and I'm not sure it's really worth spending $15/week on alcohol that I don't even really like, but … Well, as it stands I'm doing pretty well health wise, so we'll see if I decide this is a worth-while investment or not.

Yes, it was a BRILLIANT choice to be an animator!
I still remember how I was packing in my room before my first season. Ambivalent feelings mixed inside me. I was excited, but a kind of fear filled my heart, too. I had no idea what to count on. Leaving home, family, friends, and go away for half year to the far away unknown? Am I crazy, or am I genius?
I was like an enchanted child when the plane took off with me, who has no idea, what exactly wants.
My eyes turned to shine, my mouth stood in smile, I got hope, the choice seemed right!
I made a good decision!
IF YOU HAVE FEAR, IT'S NO REASON, DEAR!
People are scared from changings. It's normal. But you get a new life, with facilities, in a beautiful area, where probably you could have not gained otherwise.
Come, and join to us!
I still remember all the BRILLIANT comments, what I got from guests in feedbacks and on the internet.
And thanks for God, I could carry on the line… Like all of my dear and amazing colleagues who I ever met, and who I really love. Yes, they all could do the same!
And a good chief even can recognize, that you simply made it by only doing your job and being your own, you win the people's heart, how you make them have fun and laugh. And then, everybody is happy. Maybe it could be seemed hard at the beginning. But what is not?
Go through on it, and then you can enjoy!
Yes, first I was scared, and I knew nobody.
I can't wait to go back, work and meet again most of those people with who I already had!
So, am I right, if I say, animation is BRILLIANT?


This happened when my AD account was deleted and then re-established using the same username.
Macbook Air was draining battery while it was supposed to be sleeping. When I ran a "pmset -g" in terminal it told me "sleep prevented by AddressBookSourceSync". I don't use the Apple Contacts, but I do use google. So I went into Internet Account settings and removed the google account.
This problem always seems to pop up when there is a power outage or I am installing an new HP printer. I believe it is trying to load the driver/software usb disk, which is not formatted for Mac. Neither un-pugging/plugging the USB nor turning the printer on/off worked. The solution is to unplug the usb, then turn the printer on and wait for it to fully turn on. So both the computer and the printer are fully on. Then plug the USB in. Presto!
Open Finder, Disk Utility and Open Terminal. In terminal type "dd if=" and then drag the iso from Finder to the terminal window, that will fill in the path. Then space and type "of=" and drag the mounted usb partition from finder to the Terminal windows to again fill the path. Then in your Disk Utility, Unmount the USB Partition (Unmount, NOT Eject). Then back in your terminal window, hit enter. Done.
But of course would lose the map on reboot. So install "sudo apt-get install cifs-utils" and then Everytime I tried to add to fstab and "sudo mount -a" I would get the mount error(13) permission denied.
How to disable the "Enter password to unlock your login keyring" popup in Ubuntu 16.04?
I won't get into the security implications of doing this, but just the 2 methods I have found to get it done. My use case was a simple single digital sign that no one had physical access to, and popped this up on every scheduled or unscheduled reboot.
If you don't mind entering a password on boot, then go to User Accounts and set "automatic login" to off.
If you want it to auto login and still not ask for the login keyring (again forgoing the security lecture), go into your "Startup Programs" and uncheck the Keyrings from starting.

Q: Force a window's position or visibility An app seems to now be invisible.
I have an application pinned on my task bar (Windows 7 + Agent Ransack) that I can no longer see the window of.  When I start it the task bar changes to show it is running, but I can not see the window.  It is as if the window is invisible, permanently minimized or off screen.
10 years of supporting my families PC's and you really can still learn something new everyday.  What can I do to debug?

A: Most common way (does not work with all windows)
Alt-Tab to this windows search replacement thing
Press Alt-Space - Open control menu
M key for Move
Left or right arrow key

If you have a german Windows M is V.
If the window is maximized, you first need to put it back to normal size
.. and so on.
Or if you want to mess with every window.. right click on a empty point in taskbar. there are option that you can apply another layout (stack and so on) - this will get ugly and you need to sort manually.

October 19, 2018 marks the 39th anniversary of Prince's self-titled second album–not the most glamorous occasion, perhaps, but reason enough to reassemble the review panel from our For You podcast for a reappraisal. Once again, Zach is joined by Harold and KaNisa for a track-by-track discussion of this underappreciated album, its resonances throughout Prince's career, and why it still matters.

Podcast: 40 Years of For You
(Featured Image: Cover art for For You, 1978; photo by Joe Giannetti, © Warner Bros.)
dance / music / sex / romance is fast approaching its third year, so to celebrate, we're going…backwards? That's right, to mark the 40th anniversary of Prince's debut album , I thought now was the perfect time to go ahead with an idea I've been toying with for a while: our own sub-series of review podcasts looking at each of Prince's albums in isolation.
I'm doing this for a few reasons. First, it's a way to bring those of you who have been listening to the podcasts but not reading the blog into the loop on my chronological Prince project–and also a way for me to work through some of these albums before I can get to it with my glacially paced writing schedule.
Second, I've known from the beginning of this project that if I really wanted to do Prince's catalogue justice, I would need to incorporate more voices and perspectives than just my own. We all have our biases and blind spots, and as a Prince fan I am acutely aware that one person's sentimental favorite can be another's unlistenable mess (and vice versa). That's why I asked my friends Harold and KaNisa, both of whose encyclopaedic knowledge of Prince's career dwarfs my own, to join me. I think you'll find that our tastes and opinions both intersect and diverge in a lot of interesting ways, which allowed us–and hopefully, will allow you–to take a different perspective on some of these songs and the context in which they were created.
I hope you enjoy this new approach to an album that remains underappreciated in Prince's catalogue. If you do, I hope you'll subscribe to the podcast on your streaming app of choice (iTunes, Stitcher, or Google Play), and if you're so inclined, leave a review! No matter what, thanks for listening, and see you again soon.

During the lull between the first and second legs of the Dirty Mind tour, Prince's relationship with publicist Howard Bloom began to bear fruit. Bloom had been hired by Prince's manager Bob Cavallo at the end of 1980, in advance of the artist's first headlining tour. Their goal was to finally achieve what Prince had been trying to do since 1978: break out of the music industry's R&B "ghetto."
Bloom, as he would be the first to proclaim, was the right man for the job. At the time, he told biographers Alex Hahn and Laura Tiebert, "it was incredibly unhip for any white person to work with a black artist. There was a wall, and it was segregation to the nth degree" (Hahn 2017). But Bloom, a white man of Jewish descent, had a reputation for flouting this segregation: "I was considered the leading 'Black' publicist in the music industry," he recalled to K Nicola Dyes of the Beautiful Nights blog. "I worked with more Black acts and I learned more about Black culture than anybody else in the PR field" (Dyes 2014). Bloom, then, was one of the few in the music industry who took notice after Prince's second album went platinum without ever "crossing over" from the R&B charts. Now, all he had to do was harness his client's obvious star power, and make it impossible for the rest of the world to ignore.

"MOJO: Growing up in Minne-wood, as it's been now called, simply because that is the hot point on this planet right now…
"PRINCE: Well, it's been called a lot of things, but it's always Uptown to me.
"MOJO: Uptown?
"PRINCE: Yes.
"MOJO: What was it like growin' up Uptown?
"PRINCE: Pretty different. Uh, kinda sad, to be exact. (laughs) I mean, the radio was dead, the discos was dead, ladies was kinda dead, so I felt like, if we wanted to make some noise, and I wanted to turn anything out… I was gonna have to get somethin' together. Which is what we did. We put together a few bands and turned it into Uptown. That consisted of a lot of bike riding nude, but ya know…it worked."
– Prince Interview with the Electrifying Mojo, Detroit Radio WHYT, 1985
"Uptown" is a real place in Minneapolis: a commercial district in the southwest part of the city, centered around the historic Uptown Theatre at the intersection of Hennepin and Lagoon Avenues. In the 1970s and 1980s, it was a bohemian enclave, part of the city's burgeoning punk scene. The legendary record store Oar Folkjokeopus ("Oar Folk"), home of underground rock label Twin/Tone, was in nearby Lowry Hill East ("the Wedge")–as was the CC Club, a regular haunt for punk groups like the Replacements. "It was kind of like this exotic mixture between rock 'n' roll, comedians, entertainers, and then just hipsters that worked in the neighborhood," musician and author Paul Metsa told the City Pages in 2013. "A lot of writers and artists hung out there. And what I loved about it, it was very working-class, and still is. Everybody was equal in that place" (LaVecchia 2013).
But "Uptown," as Prince commemorated it, was also a product of the imagination. Before he recorded the song, Prince was not associated with the neighborhood, nor with its accompanying art and music scene. In fact, he'd played only two solo dates in the Twin Cities: one at the Capri Theatre in north Minneapolis, and one at the downtown Orpheum Theatre; his gigs with Grand Central had been limited to the predominantly Black Northside. And his home in suburban Wayzata–credited, mythically, on the Dirty Mind inner sleeve as "somewhere in Uptown"–could scarcely have been further away, geographically or culturally, from the Uptown that existed in physical space. "Uptown," then, is a place that Prince turned into an idea: a kind of inverse to Paisley Park, his most famous idea turned into a place.

ACDC Highway to Hell
100,000 to celebrate Bon Scott on Canning Highway as part of Highway to Hell event.
100,000 expected to line Canning Highway for Highway to Hell tribute to Bon Scott
Brittany Hoskins7NEWS

MusicWA NewsPerth7 News Perth
Canning Bridge will be transformed into one of the world's longest performance stages this afternoon as 100,000 people are expected to take part in a tribute to rock icon Bon Scott, 40 years after his death.
Yesterday, the stages were set, the trucks were loaded and the bands were doing their final sound checks in preparation for Highway to Hell, as part of the Perth Festival finale.
Producer Pete Stone said, "it's going to be a big day, it's a once in a generation celebration."
Artistic director of the Perth Festival Ian Grandich said AC/DC had a special place in the heart of Perth and Fremantle.
"I know this highway like the back of my hand, and I knew the stories about AC/DC playing at the Raffles, and Bon drinking at the Leopold Hotel."
Today's spectacle will close the Canning Highway from the Fremantle Traffic Bridge to Canning Bridge from 1pm.
At 5pm, a convoy of eight flat-bed trucks with dozens of performers will try to break the record for the world's longest stage.
The road will reopen incrementally between 9 and 11pm.
Extra trains and buses will be running to the four 'Highway to Hell Zones' but passengers are being warned to expect delays.
The record-breaking tribute will show off some of WA's best local talent as well bands from around the world.

Can I purchase a ticket on site?
Tickets can only be purchased ahead of the event. The event sells out in advance, so please do not show up expecting to buy a ticket on site (you will be turned around). In addition, guests without the appropriate wristbands will be escorted off the campground, and not allowed to re-enter.
No, your name will be on the list electronically/automatically. No tickets, shirts, or parking passes will be mailed.
Can I rent an RV or 5th Wheel?
Floating the river & Tubes?
For summer camp, we float the Comal River with transportation leaving from camp. Separate charges apply. For fall camp, tubing the river depends on the weather, etc. Texas weather is tricky! You are allowed to bring your own tube (inflated or deflated) or rent a tube. Your tube can be inflated at the location. Renting or bringing your own tube will cost the same amount.
Are there refunds? How do transfers work?
There are no refunds. Tickets are transferable to other people, other Urban Camp Weekend events, or Urban Excursion Weekend events. Transfers and name changes are $25 per transfer before the deadline (20 days before the event) and $45 after. If you purchase/sell a ticket, it's your responsibility to make sure the $25 (or $45) fee has been paid, and the ticket is actually transferable. RV's, Cabins, previously transferred and/or discounted tickets are non-transferable to other events or people. If you originally bought a transferred ticket, early bird ticket, special promo ticket, or won a free ticket, it is non-refundable or transferable to another event or person. If your original ticket was less than $75, it's non-transferable. ALL TRANSFERS FOR URBAN CAMP WEEKEND 2018 MUST BE COMPLETED BY END OF DAY (6 DAYS BEFORE THE EVENT / OCTOBER 20TH, 2018.) All transfers are done and confirmed in writing via email to info@urbaneventsglobal.com.
Log in to your PayPal account, send the transfer fee to info@urbancampweekend.com, and note in the comment section "Transfer ticket to ________(first and last name of the attendee)".
You are no longer attending Urban Camp Weekend.
The transfer fee was paid via PayPal.
Include the first and last name of the new ticket holder.
Carbon copy (cc) the new ticket holder on the email.
All campers are required to check in at registration upon arrival to Mountain Breeze. Please bring a copy of the transfer ticket email to ensure the correct names are reflected in the system.
Where do I set-up my tent (where is my cabin)?
Tents are set up on a first come first serve basis anywhere that's not already roped off specifically by UCW. Well over 90% of our guests will be pitching a tent, so the earlier you arrive, the better. The 10 small cabins are located to the left as soon as you enter the campground. There are nine 10×12 (two-person) cabins with 1 full-size bed, an a/c unit, and a picnic table and pit outside. The one12x16 cabin is a four-person cabin with 2 full-size beds and the same amenities. Neither of the cabin options has restrooms or showers directly inside, however, there are private restrooms and showers located next to the cabins for you to use.
Cabin purchases include your general admission.
When you pull into the campground, park against the back fence-line area. You will NOT be able to drive to your spot and unload this year, due to the number of campers. Cars that are not properly parked will be towed at the owner's expense.
When purchasing group tickets, you are responsible for listing your group names in the notes section of the purchase or emailing us within a week of purchase to list your ticket holders names. If not, they will be required to check-in at the same time as you for the event, as they will not be on our list. If they decide to show up at different times and are not accompanied by you, they will be turned away.
Yes (but contact us first, additional charges will apply) Each guest staying in the RV must be registered at the regular ticket price. We have 30 and 50 camp sites with electricity and water supplied for every RV or 5th wheel pop-up camper. Again, an RV reservation is for the RV only; each individual must purchase a ticket.
Should I bring my Grill?
Absolutely! We may even give you some extra meat to cook!
My friend paid a cheaper price…?
Of course they did; they paid early. We'd make that friend drive for not telling you earlier, and don't give them gas money! Our prices go up as it gets closer to the event; they will not go down. But seriously, stiff your friend on the gas money and call it even!
Can I bring my generator?
Can you pay the campsite directly for our event?
No, we are in a private area with different wristbands. There's really no need to call the campsite, even though people try it every year.
When is the deadline, and does the price change?
The deadline is a moving target, and yes the price will change closer to the event date. Pre-registration has traditionally filled up months in advance, forcing us to raise the registration fee or cut-off the registrations entirely.
Based on our recent surveys, we have started selling wristbands for meal plans. The majority of our guest's grill or cook on their own, so there's no reason for us to charge them for food they haven't been eating. This allows us to keep the cost of camp down and enjoyable for all. There will be food for purchase via the meal plan, front office, and by various vendors on site. To guarantee food, meal plans should be purchased ahead of time.
Is there Vendor Space available?
If someone you know (or you) would like to be a vendor at the largest camping event in the country, have them email info@urbaneventsglobal.com with their complete business information (social media pages and a little bit about the company is the bare minimum). THERE IS NO ADDITIONAL FEE TO BE A VENDOR FOR MINORITY-OWNED BUSINESSES. We have limited space available, so the earlier the better.
And a positive attitude, because we are family!
This list is a suggested list only. Please bring items as you see fit.
What if I just want to attend the events but not stay at the campground?
We are charged for every human being that steps foot on the campground; purchase a general admission ticket, and you can choose to stay or come and go as you please throughout the weekend.
Yes, a lot of our guests arrive on Wednesday and Thursday. The campground charges $10 for early arrival, and you can pay them directly. If you have a cabin, your keys won't be available until Friday morning.
All packages are non-refundable due to contractual obligations unless travel insurance is purchased. Travel Insurance is available for an additional cost per person. Refunds will not be provided due to a roommate's cancellation. Trips can be transferred to another person for the existing trip only (request via email). It is your responsibility to find a replacement for your package and provide replacement information via email. We offer flexible partial payments as a courtesy and convenience at a 15% automatic charge to the plan. To purchase Travel Insurance, click here!

About Name Reuse...
All nations are initially Active. If they do nothing for 28 days, they cease to exist, vanishing from the world to become a Former Nation. Former nations (also sometimes called "ex-nations") can return to the world by simply logging in.
Unless it was particularly large or notable, a Former Nation's name eventually becomes available for reuse, which allows a new nation to be founded with the same name. If this occurs, the Former Nation becomes Ancient and cannot be restored.

Q. What's wrong with the structure of that tree?
Splits and cracks create a highly hazardous situation.
Mushrooms and other fungi are indicators of root or trunk weaknesses.
Cavities such as squirrel holes are evidence of internal hollowing.
Many dead limbs are a possible sign of root trouble.
Broken and hanging branches pose a dangerous threat.
A tilting trunk is often a sign of root decay.

The torrential rain and delayed schedule led to several defaults in the mixed doubles as players gave preference to other events. All of the male Kiwis (who had lost in singles) had to leave for an event in New Zealand-lireally ordered home at the last minute by their federation.
It was 15 years since Long and Bolton had first met in an Australian singles final. The result on this occasion was the same. Bolton was simply too good for her doubles partner and annexed her 6th title, 6-1 7-5.
Weatherwise it was a very wet week, with play being disrupted by rain on 5 days. Play was scheduled to start on the 19th. Instead it was delayed until the 22nd, and even then the water-logged center court was unfit for play. This set back play so much that organizers decided to play on a Sunday the 27th-an unheard of occurance in Australia in this conservative era. The Sydney Herald got a few letters bemoaning profaning the Lord's day, but organizers were no doubt relieved that 7,000 came out to see the quarterfinals.

Exams can feel like the most daunting prospect on earth. It can feel as if in a mere matter of minutes, you could make or break your whole term, year, or even academic life.
Exams should not be a daunting prospect at all though. They are just a set of questions designed to enable you to implement what you have been learning throughout the course. They are not there to trick you or designed to make you fail.
An examination hall is a unique place, in which your usual mental capacities are replaced by an almost superhuman ability to think, create and solve in a way you did not imagine possible. The pressure to do well from teachers, institutions, family and yourself should be embraced and harnessed as adrenaline to help fuel your performance. Take your nerves and convert them into focussed energy. Your mind will amaze you at its abilities.
Before you even enter the exam hall though, an effective revision schedule must be completed – ensure that you're as best prepared as possible. The most important thing to remember is that everyone has their own style of revision and it is not about how much you do, but how effectively you do it. Likewise, everyone has a time of the day during which they are at their most efficient. This may be first thing in the morning or last thing at night. The key is to abolish guilt or self-pity: don't begrudge yourself the odd lie-in if you make up for it with a good session in the evening; don't feel sorry for yourself at the amount of work you have to do, everyone is in the same position and there is always enough time to get it done.
There is always enough time to get it done. This doesn't quite seem possible when you find yourself underprepared a few days before the exam. Last-minute revision or 'cramming' can be an invaluable resource. Even if you have done months of 'blanket revision' (rereading notes, making annotations, jotting down points or formulae), this counts for nothing without learning it all and committing it to memory. In the days before your exam, you are also at your most efficient because your nerves are driving you to absorb as much information as possible in the remaining hours.
If you haven't covered as much as you had planned during the revision process, this last-minute revision is even more important. Of course, it is important to be well rested and fed for an exam to enable your brain to operate at maximum speed. However, this only applies if you have a certain amount of information for your brain to access during the examination! If you haven't been able to memorise enough of your notes yet, then every minute you spend revising in the days before could affect your grade dramatically. You will find information that you were previously unable to commit to memory will become clearer during this 'cramming' period because your mind will subconsciously enter a more efficient phase of learning as the examination date approaches.
Keep calm, revise efficiently and remember: there is always enough time to get it done!
Often, particularly in essay-based subjects, examiners want to see examples of independent thought whilst considering the consensus of critical opinion. The Immerse Education summer programme provides participants with an unparalleled learning experience that through its tutorial style of teaching helps students to think for themselves, to develop vital skills such as problem-solving and essay writing, and ultimately to help fulfil their academic potential.


Relocation is a complicated process. You have to move for a job, or for family, or for a spouse, or for whatever reason, but it normally happens quick. We get local Milwaukee home sellers calling us or submitting their house info on this website every other week saying "I'm relocating and need to sell my house in Milwaukee". The great thing is that we're able to help a good many of those sellers sell their house quickly (because we're actively buying houses in Milwaukee Wisconsin right now!), and if we can't buy it for whatever reason, we're often able to connect them with resources to get it sold.
There's a ridiculous amount of details to keep together, plus the stress of whatever is making you move in the first place – often it's a new job or a sick relative, but the true need to move always comes with a dramatic change.
So how can you make the most out of a difficult situation?
Don't Agonize – Organize and Execute.
You don't want to be in a situation where you end up paying to own and maintain a vacant house for 2 years. That gets expensive and it doesn't have to be that way. Not to mention that paying two mortgages is something that almost none of us want to do.
Find out what your house is worth: To do this you can contact a reputable real estate agent or connect with us and we can give you a no cost, no obligation valuation of your property. Once you know what the house may be able to sell for in the current market… that sets the basis for how long you may or may not be able / willing to sell the house.
Who Is Cream City Home Buyers And How Can We Help You If You're Relocating And Need To Sell In Milwaukee?
We're happy to help you find answers to your toughest questions about your Milwaukee real estate, so please feel free to call us at (414) 488-0082 and chat with us anytime.


Those NEMO radios could be child's play for a group of students who has just returned from Mexico City. Students from the Belize High School represented Belize at this year's FIRST Global Challenge 2018. The aim of the competition was to demonstrate how science and engineering can solve the many challenges that humanity is currently experiencing. One of the competitors, Kent Haylock told us that the robotics competition was very interesting.
Haylock went into depth on the intricacies of the robot he created with the Belize team.
Kent Haylock explained some of the challenges his team experienced during the competition.
Kent Haylock, Team Leader: I feel like Belize showed itself on the map. We ranked 106 out of 161 countries so it's an achievement that I will hold forever. Some challenging parts were to figure out a way how to pick up the solar panels and for the programming because the programming language was called block and it wasn't a programming language that we learnt at school but there were some programing languages that was similar to it so yes and no it was not challenging to us.
Five other students accompanied Haylock at the competition. He encourages students to try the next robotics challenge.

Yoko-Zuna Unveil Powerful Video 'Minority' Feat. Noah Slee
Photo by Claire Easham-Farrelly / RNZ / Tuesday 20th November, 2018 1:21PM
Auckland electronic hip hop four-piece Yoko-Zuna have unveiled a powerful video for 'Minority', their collaborative single with Berlin-based neo-soul artist Noah Slee, drawn from the group's brand new album Voyager. Described as a song written in support of minorities of all kinds, 'Minority' is accompanied by a cinematic video directed by Corey Fleming and Yoko-Zuna drummer Swap Gomez (of production company March Man) who moved to Aotearoa from Bangladesh at the age of five, and has volunteered at Auckland's Mangere Refugee Resettlement Centre for the past decade. Shot in scenic locations including Tongariro National Park, Whakapapa, the Desert Road, Waiuku, and Horopito Motor Junk Yard, the sci-fi clip shows children questing through a visually stunning landscape, seeking to remake their haunted world. Swap Gomez and Noah Slee both shared statements about the contemplative audio-visual work...
"Children are born without the ability to judge, and we thought that using this idea would be a perfect way to tell the story of 'Minority'. In the video, two kids hold the keys to the future of the planet, and are the guardians of the earth. Humanity is gone, after we, the current generation, have ruined it by judging and hurting each other. The kids have the power to reset the world, and do so with the hope that humanity can re-start and be better.
With his lyrics, Noah is saying something that is really important, not just to him but to us and everyone. We felt like the visuals needed to do justice to the vocals and the message and hopefully we managed to accomplish that." - Swap Gomez
"To have been able to sit down with the guys and discuss the themes explored makes the collaboration even more unique. 'Minority' is a song for everyone to soak in and reflect on – it is a voice for the voiceless. I am excited for everyone to see the beautiful visuals and will be full circle to maybe perform this one day." - Noah Slee
Yoko-Zuna are playing an album release party at Auckland's Raynham Park Studio on Friday 30th November.
'Voyager' is out now on limited edition vinyl and digitally via LOOP / KOBALT.

About Ed SheeranSell tickets
Few would have predicted that this mild-mannered Brit singer-songwriter would be booking stadium-sized shows just a few years after his debut album, +, came out, so when he became one of the biggest solo singers in the world, with his 2014 sophomore album X, there was little doubt the talented songwriter was destined for big things. Now with his latest album, ÷ (pronounced divide) having dropped, it's looking like Ed Sheeran's upcoming 2017 tour will be some of the most exciting shows of the year. While tracks such as "Shape of You" and "Castle On the Hill" are already capturing audiences across the globe, follow-up single "How Would You Feel (Paean)" remains a classic Ed Sheeran ballad.
Suffice to say he's won the hearts of more than one nation, having completely broken the US as well as the UK, and as such demand to see his 2017 concerts are set to be even bigger than those of 2015. So make sure you don't miss out on the hunt - get Ed Sheeran tickets on StubHub UK, assured under our industry-first FanProtect™ Guarantee.

Ed Sheeran biography
West Yorkshire's BRIT-Award winning singer-songwriter was born in 1991 in the eclectic surrounds of culture hotspot Hebden Bridge before he moved to London in 2008 to pursue his musical aspirations. He started off low-key with the release of his No. 5 Collaborations Project EP, although his early fans were hardly low-key - pop legend Elton John professed his admiration for the singer from early on.
Singles such as "The A Team" and "Lego House", from his first full-length album +, made him the fastest rising young male solo star in the UK. In 2013 he performed "The A Team" with Elton, then embarked on a tour with Taylor Swift to help his star profile raise in the US. His second album, X, made him interstellar, coming out in June 2014 smashing both the UK and US charts, also winning the British Album of the Year Award at the BRITs. With singles that include "Sing", "Don't", "Photograph" and "Thinking Out Loud", it's not difficult to imagine his rapid rise to success.

A Look At The Rugby World Cup photo booth hire event
The Rugby World Cup is at present happening in New Zealand and runs between ninth September and 23rd October. How did this photo booth hire event start although? This text provides an summary of the historical past behind the Rugby World Cup. From the preliminary concept via to the present event in New Zealand 2011.
The very first preliminary discussions between the related events relating to the Rugby World Cup have been initiated and thought of in 1979, nonetheless, it was not till late within the yr of 1983 when the Australian Rugby Union and the equal New Zealand Rugby Union associations handed in proposals to the Worldwide Rugby Soccer Board (IRFB). The world governing physique for this sport. Not one of many two associations was truly conscious of the opposite nations proposal; Australia, it's stated, had deliberate to host a event on their Bicentenary yr in 1988. New Zealand had already gone forward and steered the earlier yr as a place to begin with their negotiations.
The 2 comparable proposals had been rejected however Australia and New Zealand then subsequently grouped their very own assets to hold out a single unified feasibility evaluate. The findings of this unbiased assessment have been put ahead on the IRFB's annual assembly throughout March of the yr 1985. Australia and New Zealand had agreed on 1987 as being the proper yr to go forward. This then eradicated any conflict along with the favored Olympics and FIFA World Cup photo booth hire events. Additional to this a vote befell associated to this proposal when the IRFB received collectively within the French capital Paris.
The vote among the many IRFB members got here out in favour of a World Cup by merely six votes to the 2 towards it. The Rugby World Cup is at present recognised as being the third largest sports activities associated photo booth hire event proper behind the Olympic Video games and the FIFA World Cup.
South Africa gained the final photo booth hire event in their very own nation. The event goes from power to power and, as talked about above, is at present happening in New Zealand with Australia and South Africa amongst the favourites to take the win. Australia have misplaced one among their opening video games and it isn't ordinary to see a workforce lose a recreation and go on to win. On the planet of sport something can occur although and they'll nonetheless be hoping to take the win close to the top of October if they will overcome South Africa this weekend.

Two down, three to go. The Six Nations reaches the halfway point this weekend and only one team can aim for the Grand Slam and Triple Crown. The championship is still to play for and Lions places are there to be won, but only England can take the lot. Which is not bad going for a team that was on trial only 12 months ago.
There was an awful lot to put right after a World Cup campaign that had gone horribly wrong on and off the paddock. England didn't just need a new coach, they needed a headmaster… and in Stuart Lancaster that is just what they got. He took up his role as interim head coach in the guise of a PE teacher (exactly what he'd been), but one with a headmasterly outlook. 'Danny Care, take a long, hard look at yourself and if you still want to be part of this school come and see me in the spring. Now get out of my sight.' As Mr Lancaster dispatched young Care back to Harlequins house to address his drinking issues, the message was clear: if you let yourself down, you let the school down.
Mr Lancaster has a vision for his boys and the best way to bring clarity is for everyone to buy into that vision. In his world, elite status walks hand in hand with humility. No more trumped-up southern party animals heading off to the Algarve for warm-weather training, Leeds is as good a place as any and you can put all that talent to good use by going out into the community and spreading the word. No one would dare skip the chance to give a coaching clinic or skills session to local kids now.
Mr Lancaster knows what kind of boy he wants — his head boy, master Robshaw, is the epitome of this. Talent is nothing without hard work.
That unseemly rabble called France are the next hurdle for England on their Grand Slam odyssey. It's a long drop from World Cup finalists to two out of two defeats in the Six Nations in 16 months, but that is what the French have managed. The richest, sexiest league on the planet does not guarantee a team of world-beaters; English football and Indian cricket are evidence of that. While France and the rest appear to unravel, England continue to build under the guidance of their visionary principal.
There is a sense of building about the England cricket team as well. Andy Flower is a coach in the Lancaster mould. Similar outlook, similar choice of head boy. Alastair Cook would never let himself or his school down. Flower has had to deal with unruly elements (Kevin Pietersen), but stamped his quiet authority on the situation by making it quite clear that he is only interested in players who are team men. Very public examinations lie ahead, but you can guarantee that every effort will have been made for our cricketers and rugby players to do their headmasters proud.
The American writer John Irving is a heavyweight literary figure (have you tried to lift one of his books?), but he is also a substantial cheese in the world of wrestling. And he is extremely cross about the IOC's decision to ditch wrestling from the Olympics in favour of modern pentathlon. Wrestling goes back several millennia of Games, whereas the modern pentathlon is modern and composed of such popular sports as fencing, shooting and riding, as well as swimming and running. What's particularly interesting though is that on the 15-member board of the IOC's executive, whose vote was secret, sat one Juan Antonio Samaranch Jnr. Sound familiar? Yes, his dad is the former IOC president. How nice to see that a passion and aptitude for sports administration can run in the family like that. Oh, and Samaranch Jnr is also vice president of the International Modern Pentathlon Union.
