Marriott CEO explains why it took 10 years to enter vacation rentals dominated by Airbnb
Published Mon, Jun 4 2018 1:12 PM EDT

Marriott CEO Arne Sorenson says Airbnb's rentals are a different kind of experience than the hotel group's new vacation rental offerings.
Marriott's vacation rental pilot program comes nearly a decade after the online home rental marketplace Airbnb was founded.
Sorenson says it look awhile for Marriott to become comfortable with the laws and regulations around the practice.
Marriott CEO on new home sharing program
Squawk on the Street
The need for a different kind of experience is what prompted Marriott International to enter the vacation rental market dominated by Airbnb, CEO Arne Sorenson told CNBC on Monday.
Formulated with groups in mind, Marriott announced a six-month pilot program in April, in partnership with London-based home rental management company Hostmaker, which does still work with other services, including Airbnb and Home Away.
"Increasingly, people are looking for places that groups can stay," Sorenson told CNBC's Seema Mody on "Squawk on the Street. " "Think about a family group, or think about a college reunion, or a bridesmaid weekend, whatever it is."
Airbnb, founded in 2008, is a popular website and app that allows users to reserve short-term lodging in private residences.
Addressing why it took Marriott 10 years to get into the vacation rental business, Sorenson said it look awhile for Marriott to become comfortable with the laws and regulations around the practice.
Laws vary city by city, with some localities prohibiting people from hosting paying guests in their homes for short-term stays.
Sorenson also said Airbnb's initial model didn't work for Marriott. "Airbnb's first generation of home sharing was really about an extra bedroom, or a sofa, in somebody's house," he said. "That's not the kind of experience that we necessarily want to deliver."
The Marriott vacation rental website platform, Tribute Portfolio Homes, allows users to select from 200 different homes being offered by residents in the London area.
Marriott has ended up with "something that is curated, which has service attributes to it, which has got design function to it, has got key delivery," Sorenson said. "So you end up with something curated with services more like a hotel platform. "
Airbnb was not immediately available to respond to CNBC's request for comment on Marriott's new offering.


Hawaii, the 50th state, joined the Union in August 1959. The state had three electoral votes in the 1960 election, and has had four ever since. Hawaiians have voted Democratic in every election except the 1972 and 1984 contests, when the state gave wins to Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan, respectively. (In those two landslide elections, the Democratic candidate won only one state plus Washington, D.C.) Native son Barack Obama easily won the state in 2008 and 2012, gaining over 70% of the vote both times. While 2016 saw a slightly closer result, Hillary Clinton's margin of nearly 32% was her largest in any of the 50 states. One of Hawaii's Electors was faithless that year, voting for Bernie Sanders, Clinton's primary challenger for the Democratic nomination.

Home » Chapter 1: Prevalence » 1.1 A brief history of tobacco smoking in Australia
Tobacco smoking first reached Australian shores when it was introduced to northern-dwelling Indigenous communities by visiting Indonesian fishermen in the early 1700s.1 British patterns of tobacco use were transported to Australia along with the new settlers in 1788. Among free settlers, officers and convicts, tobacco smoking was widespread2,3 and in the years following colonisation, British smoking behaviour was rapidly adopted by Indigenous people as well.i 4
In the earliest days of the colony the tobacco supply was unreliable and usage among convicts, in particular, was restricted,4 but by the early 1800s tobacco was an essential commodity routinely issued to servants, prisoners and ticket-of-leave men (conditionally released convicts) as an inducement to work, or conversely, withheld as a means of punishment.3 Home-grown tobacco was outlawed after initial plantings, since producing food for the new colony was deemed a priority. Illegal crops continued to flourish, however, and in 1803 tobacco growing was sanctioned once more.4 According to a contemporary observer in 1819, 80% or 90% of male labourers were smokers.4
In contrast, few European women smoked; those who did were convicts, prostitutes and members of the serving underclass, continuing a practice learned in English prisons, or, according to later folklore, 'stout-hearted' characters working in areas of male-dominated employment or living by their wits in the bush.2
Pipe smoking was the most common means of tobacco consumption in the nineteenth century, with imported leaf coming from Brazil, and later, North America, to supplement the local produce.4 The habit of chewing plug tobacco, which was popular in the US, was never more than a minority behaviour in Australia.4
Partially machine- and hand-made cigarettes were first developed in England in the mid-1800s, and totally mechanised production was possible by the 1880s. Although initially dismissed as effeminate by some and as the choice of dandies or larrikins by others, the comparative cheapness and convenience of mass-produced cigarettes changed the way Australians smoked forever. The cigarette became ubiquitous in the trenches of the First World War, during which more than 60% of tobacco donated to the Allies on the Western Front as part of their rations arrived in the form of cigarettes.2 Consumption levels by the Allied Armies also increased dramatically, escalating by up to 70% compared to levels used pre-war.5
Meanwhile, attitudes towards smoking among women had begun to change as well. While clandestine smoking may have been indulged in by the avant-garde and the fashionable prior to the war, the changes in society during the 1920s brought female smoking into the open, and in the following decades advertising began to target women.5,6 The increasing engagement of women in the paid workforce, particularly with the outbreak of the Second World War, led to greater social and financial freedom for many women, which in turn fuelled higher smoking rates.2,5 By the end of the war, more than one-quarter of Australian women were smokers, along with almost three-quarters of adult males.7 Although the second half of the 1900s brought confirmation that tobacco use is a major cause of death and disease, female smoking continued to increase, peaking at one-third in the mid-1970s, by which time smoking in males had begun to decline.8,9
i The history of tobacco use among Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, including traditional use of naturally occurring plants which contain nicotine and the subsequent introduction of smoking by European settlers, is discussed in detail in Chapter 8.

The gruff and surly Mr Thomas Oakley is less than pleased when he is landed with a scrawny little city boy as a guest, but because it is compulsory that each villager takes in an evacuee he reluctantly agrees.
It soon becomes obvious to Mister Tom that young Willie Beech is hiding something, and as the pair begin to form an unlikely bond and Willie grows in stature and in confidence he begins to forget the past.
But when he has to return to war-torn London to face his mother again he retreats into his shy and awkward ways once more.
My English homework is to write a book review on Goodnight Mr Tom by Michelle Magorian so I thought I might as well post it here too.
Willie Beech is a scruffy, quiet, abused boy who is evacuated to Little Weirwold in the second world war. He is given to a grumpy old man called Mr Oakley - or as Willie calls him, 'Mr Tom' - who is less than pleased to be lumbered with the child. Soon though, an incredible bond grows between them and Willie comes out of his shell.
This is a heartwarming story, although it uses very old-fashioned vocabulary and it's really slow to get into. I found that sometimes the descriptions of people/objects/places were too long and too detailed so I got bored quite easily. Also the dialogue in this book is written in the accent of where Mr Tom lives which I struggled with.
On to the characters. Tom Oakley seemed grumpy, horrible and annoying at the start of the novel - I thought he was a bit rude. As I read on, I started to like him because he started being nicer to William and he got more cheerful. It is like he changes into a new person throughout the story - Tom asks a neighbour if she would be kind enough to knit Will a jersey as he arrived only with the clothes on his back.
"You ent gotta clothe em," she said but Mr Tom was persistent which shows his love for William.
I liked William from the start, and I had a lot of empathy for him. It was easy to visualise him from the descriptions and just by the way he acted. You find out a lot about him just from this quote: "The sores will heal. They healed before. It's the wounds inside that will take the longest to heal." His mother is extremely religious and is always going on about how Willie is a 'sin'. She has mental issues and beats Willie which I suppose explains his behaviour - timid, shy, scared of everything.
Overall, I quite liked this book although I'm sure I would have enjoyed it a lot more if I had read it at my own pace and not just a chapter being read to us each lesson. Also we missed out a few chapters because apparently 'nothing much happened in them anyway' so I can't say this is a thorough review. I give this book a rating of 3/5 and recommend it to people aged 11+ - adults will like it too.
I have read this book several times and loved it each time. Great review!

Q: How can I trap clicks on location for calendar events I would like to create an app which interfaces with calendar events such that I could redirect taps on the location link for a calendar event and point them to my app for more information.  Could anybody point me in the right direction for the necessary api calls and or issues I'll need to deal with.  Ideally, one would tap the location link and be presented with a choice of using google maps or my app to present the location information instead of just automatically being directed to maps.

A: Step #1: Figure out what Intent is used for the event you want (e.g., is it ACTION_VIEW with a geo: Uri?)
Step #2: Set up your Activity with an <intent-filter> that will respond to that Intent.
Bear in mind, though, that it is very unlikely that you will only be able to handle requests from a calendar app. More likely, anything on the device that launches a map will cause your app to be an option.

"Show me" kind of question is to demonstrate their knowledge of the issues raised by the auditor. "Tell" is the verb form of the question. Though answering incorrectly for 2-3 questions will not disappoint you in the practical driving test, there will be small errors.
Throughout the practical test, the examiner looking for international standards of safety of driving, including when you make a set of exercises. You can make up to 15 driving faults and still pass the test (16 or more results in failure). However, if you commit one serious or dangerous fault you there is no such test.
The first part of this article with several driving tests show tell me the questions. Here are some of the other programs I mentioned the question and answer that will help you to test your skills. Learn all the shows tell me questions and pass your driving test on the first try.
Show me / explain how to check that the power steering is working before starting a journey.
If the steering becomes heavy may not work properly the system. Before starting a journey two checks can be made. With the wheel turned slightly, maintained while the engine is running, you can see some movement on the wheel as the system begins to operate. If you do not take the wheel after just moving off will give instant indication the power steering is working properly.
Show me how to check that the headlights and tail lights work.
Turn on ignition (if necessary), turn on the lights, and walked around the car.
Demonstrate by applying the handbrake when appropriate and properly secure itself, and not the end of the stroke.
Tell me how you would check the tires to ensure that they have sufficient tread depth and their general condition is safe to use on the road.
There is no cut or bulges, 1.6mm of tread depth in the center of three-fourths the width of the tire and around the entire circumference.
Show me how you would check that the work is intermittent.
Applying the indicators or hazard warning lights and check all indicators.
Show me how you would check that the horn working (off road only).
Turn on ignition (if necessary). Reach horn.
Research conducted by the Driving Standards Agency (DSA) showed that drivers who pass the first time the best prepared. Taking driving lessons with the best driving school and learn all aspects of driving as a learner driver.

This Man Just Found Out That His "Dog" Is Actually A Wolf
By Kayleigh Roberts
You never know exactly what you're going to get when you adopt a new pet. After all, animals have a wide range of personalities and quirks, just like people. But, according to Seventeen, one guy in Arizona got a bigger surprise than usual when he adopted a new puppy, Neo.
At first, the animal's behavior seemed less-than-ideal, but normal for a puppy — he was nervous and needy and had a bunch of accidents during the potty training process. Neo seemed a little difficult, but new pet owners (at least the good ones) are prepared for an uphill battle when it comes to helping their new adopted family member acclimate to his or her new surroundings and get trained.
Credit: wolfconnection.org
But then, Neo started behaving extra strange for a dog. He would do anything necessary to get to the other side of the neighbor's fence and play with their German Shepherds, digging under, jumping over, and even chewing through new, bigger barriers that were erected to keep him in his own yard.
Eventually, the neighbors had enough of Neo's break-in artist ways and called the Humane Society of Southern Arizona. The experts from the Humane Society were able to identify the dog's problem right away: He wasn't a dog at all.
"I approached the couple and asked, 'You know that isn't a dog, right?'" Maureen O'Nell, the shelter's former CEO, told The Dodo. "They responded, 'We were wondering.'"
Neo is actually a "high content wolf dog," which means he's a mix of the two species with a tendency to lean toward his wolf-y roots.
When Neo's owners realized that he was actually a wolf and that they weren't equipped to care for him properly, they turned him over to Wolf Connection, a wolf dog sanctuary in California.
Video: Wolf Connection / Facebook
We're glad Neo is in a place where he can live with a pack and receive the care he needs!

LisaTeachR's Classroom: Manhattan Beach CUE Rock Star Teacher Camp- Last Day!
Manhattan Beach CUE Rock Star Teacher Camp- Last Day!
Today was the last day of CUE Rock Star Teacher Camp! I met so many great people and learned a ton of techie tips and tricks to get my year rolling. O.K., here is my learning for today!
Storybird allows you to create beautiful stories with ready made art. It works on any device and is free for teachers. The art itself is so beautiful that it inspires you to write.
Here is the example Alice made: Click here.
Adding an interactive component to videos increases student engagement and leads to deeper understanding and better retention. Learn how easy it is to make "choose your own adventure" videos using Google Presentations and the YouTube video editor.
You will need a laptop or Chromebook for this session. Unfortunately, interactive videos are not mobile-friendly for making or viewing.
Log in to your Google account. You are going to use YouTube through your Google account.
Create flowchart. Each choice = new video. Storyboarding is very important.
Create your first video. You will be doing a screencast of yourself narrating as you move through your slide presentation. I used Screencastify to record myself. Make sure to tell them to choose an answer.
Remember to leave a couple of seconds at the beginning and the end of the narration.
After the pause, move to the answer slide and congratulate the student for answering correctly. If you did not provide instruction in your video, you will want to give a quick explanation of why that answer is the correct one.
Create your second video (the one viewers will see if they select the incorrect answer). Provide your explanation and any reteaching, then offer a slide they can click to try again.
Upload the videos to YouTube. If there are several of them, it is helpful to create a playlist.
Make your first video public and set the others as unlisted. Make a note of each video's URL.
In Video Manager, select your first video, and choose Edit > Annotations.
Move to the point in your video where you ask the question. Add an annotation for EACH answer choice at the beginning of your pause.
Link each annotation to the appropriate video.
For the correct answer, the annotation should link to the main video (i.e. the same one you are working on), but at the end of the silence after the question. You will need to enter the correct time in the "Start linked video at" box under the box for the link.
The video for the incorrect answers should have a link to your second video.
Select your second video and choose Edit > Annotations.
Add an annotation at the end that links back to your first video.
If you provided instruction in the first video, set the annotation to link back to it.
If you chose to provide instruction/reteaching in your second video, set the annotation to link back to the first video just before you ask your question.
Watch your video and go through all the answer choices to make sure everything works as you want it to. If you have a lot of students who are on mobile devices, you may want to add links to the connected videos in the description section of each video.
I was so lucky! I helped Julieanne and she gave me the prize she won! I got a copy of SnagIt! Woo hoo!!!Thanks, @jarhartz!!
Thank you to all the faculty at Rock Star Teacher Camp. I learned so much in three days. Best $ and brain cells every spent!

GraceWorks focuses on four areas—family support, instructional programs, seasonal needs and hunger prevention. They provide both immediate and long-term resources.
~ On our 2NDSAT we begin the morning by unpacking and laying out the assembly line of the gathered food supplies for Fuel Bags. Once this is in place, we begin filling the bags and place them in boxes for transport, and round out the morning by loading all this into the GraceWorks truck. Join us to share the work of this far-reaching ministry, they offer multiple ways for individual involvement. In agreement with GraceWorks, we chose January and May to highlight this mission as they are often lowest on donations and supplies during these months.
Over 5000 students in Williamson County qualify for the free/reduced meal programs through the school systems. GraceWorks Fuel Bag Program provides approximately 750 bags of nutritional food weekly in Williamson County. Last year, 20,812 fuel bags were distributed to students in need to take home for the weekend.
GraceWorks Volunteers are needed each week! If you like sharing your time and talents helping others, become a part of the GraceWorks team. There are opportunities at GraceWorks in Franklin as well as GraceWorks West in Fairview.

    }
}
?>

below is the output
    is connected
[{"Email":"alsongdunstan2@gmail.com"},{"Email":"sule@gmail.com"}]
sule@gmail.com
value doesnt exists

it shows that sule@gmail.com is in the array but when i check if it exists it shows that value doesnt exist.
need some help on how to check whether sule@gmail.com exists in array $returnedvalue

A: You need to change this part...
        $value = ["Email" => $decryptedemail];
        array_push($returnedvalue, $value);

to this...
        array_push($returnedvalue, $decryptedemail);

A basic array structure is in the form:
$arr = array( value, value, value );

However, you are creating an array that is multi-dimensional (see below) and is not able to be "searched" via the in_array() function.
$arr = array ( array( key => value ), array( key => value ), array( key => value ) );

When you think of a non-recourse loan, you of course think of mortgages and buying a house through a self-directed loan (who doesn't?) The non-recourse lenders at First Western Federal Savings Bank are perfect for helping you on your way to getting a non-recourse loan, but there's actually many things you can do with your loan other than using it for residential purposes. While an IRA loan might be most known for acquiring some form of residential property, this type of loan can be utilized in any number of ways, for a number of properties.
We'll take a look in today's blog at the types of properties you can acquire through a non-recourse loan, and how our non-recourse lenders can help you get there. First Western Federal Savings Bank is a Top Rated National® leader in the world of non-recourse lending and loans in general, and we would be honored to work with you. Learn more about different property types, and contact our non-recourse lenders today!
In the event the words "non-recourse loan" bring about a look of puzzlement and/or some form of eye twitching, don't fret. The more you are exposed to different forms of knowledge, the more you'll grow in truly comprehending them, and non-recourse loans are no exception.
An IRA non-recourse loan is, in its most basic form, an agreement. Your non-recourse lender will give you the loan (the money) you need to acquire property, and you will put up collateral as a way of promising to pay your loan on time. If you don't pay your loan on time, the lender can take your collateral.
In this event, you don't owe anything else after your collateral is seized. You do not have to pay the remainder of the loan.
Non-recourse loans can be a safer bet for the borrower. Additionally, you can use your self-directed IRA to invest in real estate. Read on to learn what types of real estate and properties you can buy with your non-recourse loan.
As mentioned previously, this is perhaps one of the most common properties that can be purchased with a non-recourse loan. Many people work with non-recourse lenders to get a loan to help them buy some kind of residential property, such as a house.
In addition to a house, condominiums and townhouses can also be purchased through a non-recourse loan. This is important to note, because oftentimes a house is not the most ideal purchase depending on the environment. In some cities, there are incredibly steep costs when it comes to home value—Denver, for example has a median home value of over $380k and is expected to rise over 3 percent in the next year. In Seattle, the median home value is almost $700k.
Whether you have to move to a new city or you just want to, renting is still going to be incredibly expensive. In Seattle, the average cost to rent a one-bedroom apartment is $2,065 per month—over $24,000 a year. This means that you could be paying that much for rent, or you could invest in a cheaper form of housing that will offer you a significantly higher ROI. There is way more to be said for investing in residential property, especially in a highly desirable city. With a non-recourse loan, you could purchase a condo, apartment, or townhouse, and not only end up saving money, but potentially earning money as well in the long run.
As we discussed in a previous blog, in order to effectively start a business, there's a good chance that you will need some kind of building. Whether this is a storefront, an office space, or some other form of headquarters, your new business will need to house materials and employees, and at some point, your basement or garage just won't do.
In addition to buying commercial property to start up a business, you might also need a commercial property in order to accommodate a growing business. This is such an achievement in itself, so before you contact our non-recourse loan lenders, make sure you pat yourself on the back first. Regardless of if your business is growing or starting, acquiring the perfect commercial property is an essential piece to watching your business not simply exist, but thrive.
Our non-recourse lenders can help you get the IRA loan you need for the commercial property you deserve. Talk with our lenders today to get started!
As another form of residential property, a non-recourse loan can be used to purchase a multi-unit property. This means a multi-family home or an apartment building can be acquired through the use of an IRA non-recourse loan. Across the country, there is a growing need for residential options, so investing in apartment buildings can be a highly lucrative business deal. The insanely high cost of owning a house only continues to grow, and renting is an option that many people need to consider for the time being. Whether you're considering getting a multi-family living space to rent out or an apartment complex in itself, our non-recourse lenders are here to assist you.
A non-recourse loan can also be used to invest in agricultural property. A lease contract can also be implemented when crops or livestock are utilized on the agricultural property, and this setup can actually be used to help generate income. First Western Federal specializes in cashing out CRP payments in addition to being the nation's leading non-recourse lenders, which offers another way for your agricultural property to provide supplementary income. Check out our page on CRP payments for more information!
No matter which direction you go with a non-recourse loan, there are so many types of properties that can be yours through the help of our non-recourse lenders. Your future financial investments should not be overcomplicated, filled with financial jargon, and certainly should not be dealt with in an impersonal manner. First Western Federal Savings Bank will do everything in our power to make sure you get the care and guidance you deserve, and we are thrilled to get started. Give us a call today!

Q: How to track a process time and disk usage of that particular process in Unix? I'm trying to compile and run simulations using tcsh shell in unix. How can i track time when the compilation has started and stopped, and what is the disk usage?

A: Using time you can track the internal CPU time spent on a process.  You also can view what top (or similar tools like ps) displays for your process.  Typically the CPU minutes spent on that process are shown.  You can also use date before and after the process, maybe with option +%s to show the date as seconds since 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z to allow easy arithmetic with it (difference).  Keep in mind that CPU time can be larger (more than one CPU used) or smaller (CPU also working on other tasks) than real time.  Using date will always show real time.  time will try to show both.
Disk usage, however, is more complex.  By design, files are not dedicated to a specific process.  You can, however, run df before and after the process and compare the two values.  You cannot be sure that the difference was created by the process, but if you do several runs, that might help.  Also you can use du to find out how much storage size is used in a particular path.  This only works if you happen to know (or have a good guess) where the process stores its results in files.  In your case, this might be the best way to go as you talk about a compilation job.
You can also have a look at the /proc/<PID>/fd/ directory to see the currently held open file descriptors of a running process.

Q: Rails gem for transliterate + highlight I just implemented a search page in Ruby on Rails, and found a couple of super useful Rails methods: excerpt, and highlight.
Highlight is pretty darn useful when displaying search results:
> bin/rails console
Loading development environment (Rails 4.2.1)
irb(main):001:0> include ActionView::Helpers::TextHelper
=> Object
irb(main):003:0> highlight "Dusseldorf Open 2015", "duss"
=> "Dusseldorf Open 2015"

but it lacks support for transliteration:
irb(main):002:0> highlight "Düsseldorf Open 2015", "duss"
=> "Düsseldorf Open 2015"

No marking =(.
One workaround is to call transliterate before highlight, but that means the final text is missing the umlaut:
irb(main):008:0> include ActiveSupport::Inflector
irb(main):008:0> transliterate "Düsseldorf Open 2015"
=> "Dusseldorf Open 2015"
irb(main):009:0> highlight transliterate("Düsseldorf Open 2015"), "duss"
=> "Dusseldorf Open 2015"

and this looks particularly bad for text with characters that transliterate just gives up on:
irb(main):011:0> highlight transliterate("Yu Nakajima (中島悠)"), "yu"
=> "Yu Nakajima (???)"

You can see all of this in pretty screenshots over on our github issue, all of which applies to Rails's excerpt method as well.
I tried searching for highlight and excerpt on rubygems, to no avail. Searching for "highlight" just comes up with tons of code highlighting solutions. Am I failing to find a community solution to this problem, or does one just not exist?

A: After not finding any solutions to this issue, I decided to create my own gem called translighterate that handles the highlight aspect of this.
For excerpt, we ended up implementing that ourselves (although it might make sense to put this code into my aforementioned translighterate gem). You can see that code here.


From a series with model Bree Addams. Light setup was a large softbox on camera left, with a smaller gridded softbox on camera right. What started as playing around with this fish net that she found in my prop bag, turned into a series. When I saw the combination of strength and vulnerability in this image, the title immediately came to mind.

After a lot of searching I finally found an inexpensive fine mesh strainer I like. The mesh is rolled into the rim and held firmly in place. The handle is one piece that runs through the strainer and isn't spot welded on. It won't pop off and because it's stainless steel it won't discolor.Did I mention that this is a fine mesh strainer? It's not so tightly woven that it's hard to clean but unlike other so called fine mesh coco strainers it will actually catch all your mint and basically all of your ice shards.Also, I think it looks fantastic! More importantly though, I suppose, is that it's light and the basket is just the right size. I like that it's handle is properly proportioned and isn't so gigantic that it gets in my way!
Yukiwa Gold Julep Strainer
The best thing about this Julep strainer from Yukiwa is that it's one piece. It's embarrassing when you're behind the bar and the inexpensive spot welded julep strainer you picked up falls apart, right? Don't let that happen to you! It fits very nicely on the mixing glasses we sell and like all things Yukiwa looks fantastic. It's made of Japanese 18/8 stainless steel and is manufactured in Niigata, Japan.This is the gold plated version so remember it's not dishwasher safe! In my experience once or twice by accident won't ruin them but you should do your best to avoid it.
One piece design
Beautiful shape
Fits nicely on mixing glasses
Yukiwa Silver Hawthorne Strainer
These traditional Hawthorn strainers look gorgeous and are just as classy as everything else made by Yukiwa. The strainer is one piece Japanese 18/8 stainless steel except for the coil which comes off easily for cleaning. The two prongs fit nicely on both shaker tins and mixing glasses. The + shape hole pattern is simple and classy. Yukiwa is etched into the handle but I like that there isn't a brand logo cut out of the metal.I've personally had the silver and gold Yukiwa Hawthorne strainers for over two years now and they both still look like new after nightly use. That being said, I don't run them through the dishwasher because they're easy enough to clean by hand.

It's 18/8 stainless steel so it's fine in your standard high temperature dishwasher. Given the choice I still hand wash my tools but this one will stand the test of time.

Aspen at Shevlin Park
This cherished, regional park had it's beginnings as a donation to the community in 1920. Although the nearly 1,000-acre park has a paved road, three developed picnic sites and Aspen Hall within its boundaries, most of the park remains undeveloped.
Shevlin Park is a haven located less than three miles from Bend and a perfect location for hiking, jogging, nature watching, fishing, cross country skiing and picnicking. There is an extensive trail and pathway system providing for both summer and winter uses. The park is also the site of Cougar Camp, a popular youth day camp offered by the District in the summer months.
Tumalo Creek rambles through the park with several foot bridges providing opportunities to cross over to the eastern section of the park, the Shevlin Conservation Easement, which added approximately 44 acres to the east side of the park in 2002. The easement features a parking area with a viewpoint and is popular with hikers, joggers and mountain bikers.
In 2017, the District added 329 acres south of the park with property formerly known as the Tree Farm development. This addition was made possible by a federal grant from the U.S. Forest Service Community Forest Program and a generous matching donation from the Tree Farm, LLC.
As a nature reserve, no remote controlled devices are allowed at Shevlin Park.
Canoeing Sparks Lake
This site will stretch your capability to focus only on wildlife. Approximately 370 acres of lake wetland are surrounded by another 360 acres of meadow, marsh, or stream wetlands. The spectacular setting - a memorialized favorite of the late, acclaimed, landscape photographer Ray Atkeson - is dominated by South Sister towering to 10,358' elevation, Broken Top to 9,175', and Bachelor Butte to 9,065'. Dark-green forests, bright-green meadows, and deep-blue skies will linger on your real or imaginary canvas. Look for the yellow-flowers of Indian pond lily in small ponds at the meadow's northwest corner.
Sparks Lake is located about 25 miles west of Bend off the Cascade Lakes Highway. The lake was named for "Lige" Sparks, a pioneer stockman of central Oregon. Except for possible early-day trappers, the first organized group of white men to visit the Sparks Lake area was a Pacific Railroad survey party led by Lts. R. L. Williamson and Phil Sheridan, accompanied by Dr. John S. Newberry, physician and scientist.
In seeking a pass through the mountains to the north, they traveled the Green Lakes trail in August 1855. They returned in September and evidently traveled by the Old Horse Lake Trail from its junction with the Green Lakes Trail and passed by Moraine Lake and on to Wickiup Plains. It is guessed that this group went past Devils Pass, Devils Lake, and followed the approximate route of the north Century Drive.
The lake was formed about 10,000 years ago when lavas from the Mt. Bachelor Volcanic Chain blocked the upper Deschutes River. Sparks Lake is a large, shallow, trout lake located on the northwest edge of Mount Bachelor, and is the first of the high lakes you see from the Cascade Lakes Highway west of Bend. The views of South Sister, Mount Bachelor, and Broken Top are breathtaking. Prior to 1997, Sparks Lake was a brook trout fishery and, although brookies may still be available, the lake's featured species will be introduced cutthroat trout.
Visit America's Deepest Lake at Oregon's Only National Park
With a depth of 1,943 feet, Crater Lake is the deepest lake in the United States - and one of the most beautiful. The water's intense blue color is an indication of its great depth and purity. Surrounded by cliffs, the lake is fed entirely by rain and snow. Scientists consider Crater Lake to be the cleanest and clearest large body of water in the world.
Golf at over 24 courses

Tumalo Falls
This very popular site offers beautiful views of Tumalo Falls just a few minutes from the trailhead. There are areas for picnicking and access to hiking and mountain biking trails.
The North Fork Trail is UPHILL ONLY for mountain bikes.
Tumalo Falls is a 97-foot (30 m) waterfall on Tumalo Creek, in the Cascade Range west of Bend in the U.S. state of Oregon. Additional waterfalls are upstream along Tumalo Creek and a tributary, Bridge Creek and its Bridge Creek Falls. All of these falls are within the Deschutes National Forest.
The United States Forest Service manages the Tumalo Falls Day Use Area about 14 miles (23 km) from Bend by forest roads. In addition to waterfall views, the day-use area has picnic sites and a toilet and offers access to trails for hiking and mountain biking. Using the site requires a Northwest Forest Pass or payment of a fee.
Tumalo Falls Trail leads from the picnic area to a viewing platform above Tumalo Falls, about 0.25 miles (0.40 km) upstream. The trail continues beyond the falls. About 1.25 miles (2.01 km) further upstream, it reaches a second waterfall, Middle Tumalo Falls, a two-tiered cascade totaling 65 feet (20 m) in height.
Deschutes River Trail
Located from Farewell Bend Park to McKay Park and the Bend Whitewater Park, trails exist on both sides of the river in addition to an extensive private trail system throughout the Old Mill District.
Once home to two large lumber mills, today the Old Mill District is a mix of parks, trails, shops, restaurants and other businesses. Three footbridges connect trails across the river, providing convenient loops for walking, cycling and more. The trails are great for children on bikes and scoots as the trail is wide, paved, relatively level and completely off the street.

The Rockies could have a few bucks to throw at Pavin Smith and the White Sox could probably find 400K to get Bryce Montes De Oca if Rodon doesn't need it all. I'd try to get De Oca there and put what I had on the table for Rodon after that.
The Marlins look to have plenty left but I don't know where they'd go with it..

Q: awk script on all the files in a folder I want to use an awk on all files I have in a folder by doing this:
awk '{print $1"\t"$2"\t"$3"\tMPC/K4me1"$4"\t"$5"\t"$6}' GSM*.bed > tmp $$ mv tmp GSM*.bed

Will I encounter some abnormalities? Will it do all files in such order, that tmp will be in fact unique for every file and there will be no overlaps?
I also get an error from awk when I use it:
awk: can't open file 12404
 input record number 21077683, file 12404
 source line number 1

Am I doing something wrong?

A: Your current code would expand the GSM*.bed expression to something like:
awk '...' GSM1.bed GSM2.bed ... > tmp $$ mv tmp GSM1.bed GSM2.bed

which does not make much sense. You can use FILENAME in awk, etc, to handle the files but it kind of gets complicated.
It might be better to loop through the files normally with a while loop and run awk for each one of them:
for file in GSM*.bed
do
   awk -v OFS="\t" '{print $1, $2, $3, "MPC/K4me1", $4, $5, $6}' "$file" > tmp
   mv tmp "$file"
done

Note I used OFS to set the output field separator to the tab. This way, you don't have to hardcode it in your print command.
To use a variable, do use -v like this:
awk -v OFS="\t" -v your_var="$STR" '{print $1, $2, $3, "MPC/K4me1", $4, $5, $6, your_var}' "$file" > tmp
