To cut the bikers out of the background!
Mountain biking is a huge passion of mine and was really glad to do this project. The main idea was to create some very dynamic and some still images using compositing technique. The reason for that was to avoid really complex and pricey approach. All the images were shot in two stages: on location and in a studio. The most challenging part in compositing process was to cut the bikers out of the background (the bikes themselves have sooo many small parts) and then to fit them seamlessly in to the backgrounds.

Suspect in Snapchat Killing Lived by 'Ride or Die' Creed From 'Fast and Furious': Police
Maithem Alfuraiji, 20, was last seen alive on Thursday April 27 before he met his good friend in Mountain View Park, homicide investigators said
By R. Stickney	• Published May 16, 2017 • Updated on May 16, 2017 at 7:52 pm
An Escondido teenager accused of beating a good friend to death and posting audio of the victim's cries on Snapchat told investigators he followed the "ride or die" creed from the movie "Fast & Furious."
Testimony heard Tuesday in a pretrial hearing revealed the possible motive behind a brutal and bizarre homicide between two men described as "close friends."
Maithem Alfuraiji, 20, was beaten to death and dumped in a remote area of San Diego County, according to Escondido police. The victim's friend, Salvador Sanchez, bragged on social media that he was responsible for Alfuraiji's death, homicide investigators allege.

Sanchez listened Tuesday as investigators walked through a mountain of evidence gathered in just a matter of days. The evidence includes audio and images posted to Snapchat, white clothes found covered in the victim's blood, the statement from a friend who helped transport the victim's body and the defendant's alleged confession to police.
For the first time, investigators revealed a possible motive for the killing.
"He has a creed based on the movie series 'Fast and Furious' of "ride or die" so you have to be loyal to him to the end including death," Escondido Police Det. John O'Donnell said of the defendant. "He said he lived that creed among the crew or squad he was part of."
Sanchez and Alfuraiji met on April 27 at Mountain View Park to smoke marijuana and drink alcohol. They talked about the car accident Alfuraiji had experienced that morning and Sanchez expressed frustration that he was a high school graduate who was mowing lawns, an investigator testified.
At one point, Sanchez challenged Alfuraiji to fight to the death, investigators said.

Sanchez was a champion wrestler at Escondido High School and described using some wrestling holds in the fight with the victim, O'Donnell said. He described using a "double trouble" and a "cross face" to get the victim to the ground, police said.
As O'Donnell testified, the initial fight was two to three minutes and after that Sanchez told police he held Alfuraiji's face to his chest for about a minute. After that, the defendant could not find a pulse on the victim, O'Donnell said.
"He said he held Mr. Alfuraiji in a headlock until Mr. Alfuraiji died," Escondido Police Det. Gregory Gay testified referring to a police interview with the defendant.
Sanchez, 19, kept the clothes he wore that night on a shelf in his closet, Gay said. A hoodie, T-shirt, shorts and tennis shoes all were white and all had blood on them, he said.
Deputy District Attorney Claudia Plascencia, who entered images of the clothing covered in blood as evidence, told reporters the white clothing was to symbolize purity.
When asked why the defendant told police he kept the clothing in his room, Gay said, "he said he wanted them for trophies."
Escondido Police say the popular app Snapchat helped them find the suspected killer in a homicide case. The suspect pleaded not guilty in court today. NBC 7's Artie Ojeda reports.
Plascencia said the defendant worked for his father's landscaping company. She said the investigation was ongoing as to what may have prompted him to attack his good friend.
"The defendant, the victim and their two friends were a very tight, close group," Plascencia said. "They were so close they ride together or they die together. We know that this was the bond between these four men."
Both detectives also testified as to a possible motive in the case.
"Maithem was doing dangerous things and he was working outside of their small group or crew. Placing them in danger, placing their family in danger and it was just necessary for him to kill," Gay testified.
Under cross-examination, O'Donnell said the defendant expressed to investigators that he feared for the safety of himself and for his family as well as Alfuraiji's family.
At the end of the preliminary hearing, Sanchez was bound over for trial on a first-degree murder charge. He entered a not guilty plea through his public defender. A trial date was set for September 12.
Investigators say they found clues to a killing on the Snapchat account of Salvador Sanchez. NBC 7's Omari Fleming reports one woman who's known Sanchez for years said a month ago he snapped, saying God told him to create a list of people to kill.

Here's a selection from my sample stash this week!
This is the conditioner that goes with the shampoo (reviewed here). It smells wonderfully minty just like the shampoo, but it didn't really do anything special for my hair.
I can't believe I've only just discovered this product! I can see why so many people love and rave about Skin Food! This is a wonderful thick cream which is perfect for dry/rough skin. My elbows and knees have been loving this and I'll definitely be purchasing.
Another sample from Lily Lolo that I've been testing out. I find it does take away any shine when you first apply it leaving a matte finish, however for me the matte look didn't last more than a couple of hours. Also it's not very practical to reapply if you're out and about as the powder drops around everywhere and was a little clumpy! This might not be a problem with the full sized pot though.
This is one of those products that I think you have to use over a long period of time to see results. It claims to even skin tone and texture of your skin noticeably after 12 weeks use. With such a steep price tag though I'm not at all inclined to investigate further!
I was really interested to try this product on my combination skin, as this cream aims to simultaneously mattify oily areas whilst also boosting hydration in dryer areas. I applied this before I went to bed (it has a light fruity scent) and was pleasantly surprised in the morning as it really had done a good job at balancing my skin and left my face feeling really soft too. I'll happily be buying this!
That Weleda stuff sounds amazing! Definitely checking it out.
that mineral finishing powder looks interesting!

Cronus Chemical LLC Chooses Illinois over Iowa for its Billion-Dollar Fertilizer Plant
Cronus Chemical LLC, owned by a group of Swiss and Turkish investors, has selected an Illinois site over one in Iowa for the location of its new fertilizer plant that will cost $1.4 billion. The company is going to build the plant close to Tuscola, a city in Douglas Country in Illinois. When ready, the plant will produce the nitrogen-based fertilizers, ammonia, and urea. Construction works are expected to start in the spring next year and should take three years to complete. The process will require about 2,000 temporary construction workers and 175 permanent ones after the plant has been built. This is on top of 25 people who will be employed at Cronus' new headquarters in Chicago. The company initially looked at 76 sites in nine U.S. states before short-listing Illinois and Iowa.
Tina Hoffman, a spokeswoman for the Iowa Economic Development Authority, confirmed that Iowa had not been selected for the plant. She added that the project "wasn't really the best fit for Iowa." Cronus has allegedly opted for Illinois because the Tuscola site will be closer to Chicago headquarters and generally, transportation will be easier. "It's nothing against Iowa," the firm added. However, Illinois reportedly offered a better "competitive" package of incentives, but no further details are known.
Tuscola is a town of about 4,480 residents, which has been previously described as "primarily farm land" by public officials. It is located near Interstate 57 and has easy access to major natural gas lines, which is an essential element in fertilizer production. In the past, the site was considered for the FutureGen clean-coal project. If Iowa had been chosen by the Cronus, it would have had three fertilizer projects underway as two are already being built. Iowa Fertilizer Co., a subsidiary of Egypt-based Orascom Construction Industries, is constructing a $ 1.8 billion plant in the south-eastern United States.

Noongar Shakespeare Project
Bell Shakespeare has proudly partnered with Yirra Yaakin Theatre Company supported by Wesfarmers Arts as they work on an educational cultural language program that includes the development and presentation of a full-length adaptation and translation of Shakespeare's Macbeth in Noongar language.
Noongar language is considered to be an endangered language, with less than 400 fluent speakers within the Noongar nation. The Noongar Shakespeare Project is a long term creative endeavour which aims to have a direct and immediate impact to grow the number of people with an understanding of Noongar language and culture.
Bell Shakespeare believe that Shakespeare and other great works are not stuck in the past. They are the lens through which we can explore and question the present and imagine our future.
Since 2017 Bell Shakespeare has been working with Yirra Yaakin on the creative development of this project in what will become Australia's first full-scale Indigenous interpretation of a major Shakespearean work for the stage. In March 2019, Associate Director of Bell Shakespeare James Evans, visited Yirra Yaakin for further creative development sessions.
To mark National Reconciliation Week we were treated to an update on the Noongar Shakespeare Project. This extraordinary collaboration will see an adaptation of Macbeth, performed in the endangered Noongar language, premiere in 2020.

Q: Elasticsearch mapping configuration from logstash I am trying to configure index template management for Elasticsearch from Logstash on Windows.
I have c:\ulyaoth\logstash-2.3.1\bin\logstash.json file:
    input {
      beats {
       port => 5044
       type => "log"
      }
    }

    filter {
        grok {
            match => ["message","%{TIMESTAMP_ISO8601:timestamp_match}"]
            remove_field => ["_id","_index","_score","_type","beat.hostname","beat.name","count","fileds","host","input_type","offset","tags","type"]
        }

        mutate {
            remove_field => ["_id","_index","_score","_type","beat.hostname","beat.name","count","fileds","host","input_type","offset","tags","type"]
        }

        template_overwrite => true
      }
    }

and the template file c:/ulyaoth/logstash-2.3.1/bin/elasticsearch-template.custom.json. I dug up this file from c:\ulyaoth\logstash-2.3.1\vendor\bundle\jruby\1.9\gems\logstash-output-elasticsearch-2.5.5-java\lib\logstash\outputs\elasticsearch\ and edited it so that:

My problem is that the template is not registered. The REST query returns empty object, and also I see the field still analyzed in Kibana.
    GET /_template HTTP/1.1
    Host: 127.0.0.1:9200

Additional problem is that remove_field also does not work - I still see all these fields.
    remove_field => ["_id","_index","_score","_type","beat.hostname","beat.name","count","fileds","host","input_type","offset","tags","type"]

I don't see any logstash logs (ironically:) and in ES logs I don't see any errors or template issues.
How can these problemse be sloved?
EDIT:
The final working configuration is:

      "template" : "filebeat-*",

        "index.refresh_interval" : "5s"

When faced with financial pressures, some residents of the United Kingdom make the mistake of turning to the first lender they can think of.
A financial emergency can leave a person floundering in an effort to find a solution. Sometimes there is not an immediate solution. No matter what the cause, lack of money can certainly bring on stress and uncertainty. Even the most responsible person can face difficulties due to lack of money. Many different circumstances can happen that can result in hardship Some examples of things that could bring on financial hardship are unexpected car repairs, household expenses or a sudden illness. Here are three tips that can help anyone survive a financial emergency.
Sometimes the only way to resolve a money crisis is to work more. Although it can be a difficult change to make, keep in mind that the extra income will help resolve the financial crisis. The good news about financial hardships is the fact that they are usually a temporary glitch that can be resolved in a short period of time. Finding additional work is not an impossible task as many businesses will gladly welcome additional help. It might not hurt to ask family members and friends if their employer is hiring. It might even be possible to find a better paying job.
Part of surviving a financial crisis will require an in-depth look at the current money situation. Write down total income. Consider every source. Write down total monthly bills. Consider only the necessary bills such as mortgage, insurance, utilities and other expenses that are necessary. Now, take a look at the extra expenditures for things such as eating out, going to movies MoneyBoat UK, trips to the mall and so forth. Write those down. Take a comprehensive look at everything and make a list of those expenses that are absolutely necessary. Let go of the extras until the crisis is resolved.
Even though this may be the last resort, a loan can be a good way to resolve a financial emergency. There are many lenders available that can provide quick loans. These loans are not intended to solve a long-term financial crisis. If the financial crisis will be an ongoing situation it's best not to seek out a loan because it will result in additional debt and a payment that must be made. Loan amounts may vary depending upon creditworthiness and employment history. Each lender may have a different set of lending criteria.
A temporary financial emergency can be resolved but it takes time and effort. Don't ever think the situation is impossible. There are ways to survive a financial emergency. Take time to research the various options. Choose the one that will work best. Put a lot of thought into the situation and work towards achieving the financial relief needed. Once the financial woes are resolved, think seriously about how money can be set aside for an emergency fund. This will help alleviate the stress involved should another financial hardship arise.

Arctic Alaska or Far North Alaska  is a region of the U.S. state of Alaska generally referring to the northern areas on or close to the Arctic Ocean.

It commonly includes North Slope Borough, Northwest Arctic Borough, Nome Census Area, and is sometimes taken to include parts of the Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area. Some notable towns there include Prudhoe Bay, Utqiaġvik, Kotzebue, Nome and Galena.

Most of these communities have no highways and can only be reached by aircraft or snowmobile in good weather. Originally inhabited by various Alaska Native groups living off hunting, whaling, or salmon fishing, modern settlement in Arctic Alaska was driven first by discoveries of gold and later on by the extraction of petroleum.

The ecosystem consists largely of tundra covering mountain ranges and coastal plains which are home to bears, wolves, sheep, muskoxen, caribou, and numerous species of birds, the north coast has been defined as the Arctic coastal tundra ecoregion. Arctic Alaska is also the location of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, Gates of the Arctic National Park and Preserve, Kobuk Valley National Park and the National Petroleum Reserve–Alaska. The Arctic experiences midnight sun in the summer and polar night in the winter.

Climate

Most of northern Alaska has an Arctic climate with long, extremely cold winters and short, cool summers. The average temperatures during the summer months are only several degrees above freezing and the average temperatures during winter are as low as , and can dip to .

Villagers in Southoe are lobbying the parish council to remove a dilapidated old hut - dubbed the "tetanus cabin" - as they believe it poses a health risk.
The rusted cabin is situated on the edge of a children's park and football field and locals have discovered drug paraphernalia and other waste inside and want the parish council to make the area safe. The steel hut was erected by the parish council about 16 years ago and intended for use by teenagers, but campaigner Sebastian Hunt believes it has deteriorated to the point where it is now dangerous.
In a meeting held on November 7, councillors reported that a volunteer had carried out an inspection and there was "no evidence of misuse in the cabin". Under the heading of "actions to be taken" councillors said they were looking into sourcing a small shipping container to replace the hut and would be considering what should be done with it in the future.
A formal inspection, carried out in November by an outside company concluded the hut was "structurally unsound, although, in theory, repairable". Warning signs have also been placed at the site.
Mr Hunt believes the majority of people in the village would prefer the hut to be removed.
Alan Marnes, chairman of Southoe and Midloe Parish Council told The Hunts Post the council had "dealt with the item raised" and they were "looking to replace or repair the cabin in due course".

Tennis Channel may have a tough time getting into as many homes as it wants, but it has had zero trouble stirring debate of late. The American tennis-devoted network bridged (and brilliantly, I might add) the divide between the Indian Wells and Miami Masters with their five night countdown of the 100 "Greatest" Players of All Time. While it may have been a blip on the radar of the greater sports universe, embroiled in the NFL's Peyton/Tebow/Sanchez saga and watching Ohio bust their March Madness brackets, the special certainly set tennis' chattering classes a-twitter, especially on Twitter, with a number of the rankings. While we've stated previously in this space that it's impossible to answer the question of the greatest of all time definitively, we thought it would be worth sharing what we consider inviolable criteria for setting about the task.
1. Dominance of their Era - Any conversation of the GOAT (Greatest of All Time) for us logically commences with the question: Who was the GOTT (Greatest of THEIR Time)? The way we see it, you cannot anoint a player as the best ever if they were routinely routined by their actual on-court competition.
The strongest player on this criterion is Steffi Graf, d/b/a Stefanie Agassi. She ranked World No. 1 for 377 weeks (90+ weeks longer than Sampras or Federer); between 1987 and 1997 Graf was NEVER ranked lower than No. 2 and when she retired (once and for all) she did so ranked 3rd in the world--just two months removed from her final major title at Roland Garros. For good measure, she had made the final of Wimbledon literally a month before she hung up her racquet bag for the last time. At the height of her powers, Fraulein Forehand all but embarrassed her competition. In her Golden Slam year of 1988 (all four majors plus the Olympics) she doubled bageled Natasha Zvereva in the FINAL, winning her second Roland Garros title in a 32 minute 6-0, 6-0 thwomping. GOTT, yup, Steffi for sure.
2. Collect All Four - Yes, the Australian Open has grown up of late after notoriously having been dubbed the "minor major" before upgrading to its multi-rooved Melbourne Park digs in 1988. Nonetheless, since Don Budge claimed the first in 1938, there has always been a premium on winning the Grand Slam. Whether legitimately, all four in a calendar year; modified, four majors in a row, calendar be damned, or over the course of a career, the VERY best players have collected all four majors. In the modern game, the tennis Grand Slam is an unprecedented feat requiring a player to win on three surface types, on three continents and taking on various conditions and all of the best players the world has to offer at any given time one on one.
As much as a player's bonafides are burnished by having reached this goal, in our opinion a player's resume is similarly discarded for not having won (at minimum) the career Grand Slam. It's why we can't take Pete Sampras seriously in this discussion. Sampras certainly meets the dominance standard, however, having never hoisting the hardware at Roland Garros disqualifies him for the very top of our list. Yes, he won 14 majors; yes, he won Wimbledon 7 times; yes, he finished ATP No. 1 a record six times; yes, Sampras is without question or qualification an all-time great. No, he's not the greatest ever and he wasn't before Federer came along either. The way the rankings are calculated have changed, the competition is ever fluid, but the challenge of winning the four tentpoles of the modern game has been a consistent challenge since 1925 when the International (Lawn) Tennis Federation designated the Australian, French, Wimbledon and the US Open as the sport's majors. Pete Sampras, great as he was, never met this challenge. It's one area in which his career rival, Andre Agassi, holds an unqualified advantage.
3. Singles Success - There's often a snigger in tennis circles about the so-called doubles wing of the Hall of Fame. Pam Shriver, Gigi Fernandez and Natasha Zvereva (she of the 0-6, 0-6 scoreline versus Steffi Graf in that '88 Roland Garros final) are all enshrined in the International Tennis Hall of Fame...and not in a dusty, rarely-visited doubles shrine...without having won a singles major. While their success, like that of the Bryan Brothers, Nestor/Mirnyi or Huber/Raymond is certainly laudable, it no more qualifies them to figure in the GOAT discussion than it does at the top of the singles rankings.
The two-player game is exactly that, a different game. Success in doubles neither replaces, nor augments the already impressive singles accolades of players like John McEnroe, Martina Navratilova or Venus Williams. In all honesty, this is a relatively recent rule change, Graf was one of the first singles champions to eschew to doubles competition to focus on the singles game and her example stuck. While singles players still compete in the two player game (primarily in Davis & Fed Cup ties or to get a bit of extra practice after a layoff), it has largely been recast as the province of specialists. Roger Federer has won 16 singles majors, but he's only suited up for doubles once at a major since he first won Wimbledon in 2003. Even winning Olympic gold in two-man tennis at the Beijing games hasn't convinced Federer that doubles is a worthy pursuit. It's not because the top singles player don't have the skill set either, of the last eight times Venus and Serena Williams suited up for doubles at the majors, six times they claimed the title. Rafael Nadal carried his compatriot Marc Lopez to two titles (including a week ago) at Indian Wells and has three total doubles Masters 1000 crowns. Like Federer, he has only entered the two-man tourney once at a major since winning his first in singles. Maybe all GOAT conversations should include a side convo for GDPoTOATs (Greatest Doubles Players or Teams of All Time), or maybe the acronym is inelegant enough that we can all agree not to bother.
4. Clarity of Mission - Last, but not least, when defining what makes a player great we must be clear that what happens off-court does not make them greater on it. If we wanted to discuss the most important figures in the sport of tennis, we could almost begin and end the conversation with the name Billie Jean King. The American champion founded the (nee Virginia Slims) WTA Tour, stood up as a champion of women's rights, gay rights, equal prize money and other worthy causes dear to her heart. King's legend as a champion of causes is so great that for a tennis fan born as her playing days were winding down, it's almost wholly obscured how great a tennis champion she was. It's easy to look at the TWELVE singles majors she won (including the career grand slam), add in the 16 majors she won in doubles, the 11 she won in mixed and the fact that she FOUNDED the WTA Tour and say, yes, case closed, greatest of all time.
We've defined our GOAT criteria more narrowly, focusing on success between the lines, in singles, prioritizing the majors, and requiring dominance over the era's competition. Doing so keeps us from putting a premium on the sterling off court accomplishments of King, Arthur Ashe or Andre Agassi for example, while keeping us simultaneously from demoting a player like Margaret Court for her recent less-than-accepting comments on gay marriage, rather than the un-politicizable fact that the Aussie won 11 of her total 24 majors in Australia (during the tournament's weak era) and more than half of her major titles came before the Open Era of tennis when professionals were banned from competition.
So, that's all well and good, but what does it really leave us with. Who would Blacklabel Tennis dub the Greatest Of All Time?
5. Rafael Nadal - He won all four majors, playing in the "Roger Federer Era." One of only three players to win the Golden Slam (Graf, Agassi), Nadal, presumably with a few years to play, is near the top of the class.
3. Martina Navratilova - A force of nature, Navratilova won her 18th and final major (her 9th Wimbledon title) at the age of 34, 331 total weeks at No. 1. The fact that she played doubles until she was 50 notwithstanding, she's near the top.
2. Roger Federer - He needed Roland Garros to make our cut and he got it. 16 major titles, the most of any man, 285 weeks at No. 1 and perhaps the most dominant streak in men's tennis history a 315-24 run between 2004-2007 that saw him win an unprecedented eleven majors out of 13 finals that alone would have ranked him third all time among for male major winners.
1. Steffi Graf - Case closed, by the above criteria, Graf has the most complete resume in the sport's history with 377 Weeks at No. 1, winning each major four times. To compare Graf's dominance with Federer's, during her best four year stretch, Graf went 305-12 winning nine majors in 14 finals...then after two years at No. 2, Graf reeled off another sterling four year run at No. 1, going 235-18, winning ten majors in 12 finals. That's enough for me, no one else comes close.
That's how it stands today, Roger and Rafa fans, it looks like your guys still have a couple of years to make headway.

Fears for future of Pasifika Education Centre
7:51 pm on 25 August 2015
[sFunding cuts to ] New Zealand's oldest Pacific Education provider have led to fears that it may be forced to close.
New Zealand's oldest Pacific Education provider says it is disappointed by funding cuts, which have led to fears in the Pasifika community that it may be forced to close.
The opposition Labour Party is calling on the government to save the Pasifika Education Centre, which was established in 1978 as an educational resource for Pasifika people
The Labour party says the Tertiary Education Commission has slashed its funding contribution for the next financial year from 80 percent to less than five percent.
The centre was told in May about the cuts eight months after the government signed off its 2014-2018 strategy.
The chairperson of the centre's board, Sai Lealea, says they've tabled their concerns with the Minister for Pacific People's, Sam Lotu-Iiga.
The Minister's office says he is aware of the issues and is working together with the centre and the Tertiary Education Commission to find a way forward.
The Labour MP Sua William Sio says the centre is a vital asset for New Zealand's Pasifika community and is calling on the minister to come clean about his plans for the centre.
"The minister really has a moral obligation to reveal what is he doing. Is he going to save the organisation or will he leave a legacy as the only minister that would have destroyed a vital community asset?"

Headphones Patent Print
"Headphones"
G. Falkenberg - 1963.
Headphones (or head-phones in the early days of telephony and radio) are a pair of small loudspeaker drivers that are designed to be worn on or around the head over a user's ears. They are electroacoustic transducers, which convert an electrical signal to a corresponding sound. Headphones are designed to allow a single user to listen to an audio source privately, in contrast to a loudspeaker, which emits sound into the open air, for anyone nearby to hear. Headphones are also known as earspeakers, earphones or, colloquially, cans.
Circumaural and supra-aural headphones use a band over the top of the head to hold the speakers in place. The other type, known as earbuds or earpieces consist of individual units that plug into the user's ear canal. In the context of telecommunication, a headset is a combination of headphone and microphone.
Headphones connect to a signal source such as an audio amplifier, radio, CD player, portable media player, mobile phone, video game console, or electronic musical instrument, either directly using a cord, or using wireless technology such as bluetooth or FM radio.
The first headphones were developed in the late 19th century for use by telephone operators, to keep their hands free. Initially the audio quality was mediocre and a step forward was the invention of high fidelity headphones as patented in this iconic invention.

What The Supercenter Format Contributes To Walmart
By Phalguni Soni
Feb. 20 2015, Updated 2:05 p.m. ET
Mulling the size advantage
As mentioned in the last part of this series, Walmart (WMT) has been concentrating on expanding the store count of its larger supercenter format. A supercenter averages ~179,000 square feet in size.
Between 1Q10 and 3Q15, the number of supercenters rose by 650. There was a net decline of 409 in the mid-sized discount store count in the US. Walmart is evaluating or planning additional real estate options at about half of its discount stores. These stores would either be converted to superstores, revamped, or closed.
Why supercenters?
The shift towards larger stores fulfills multiple objectives for the retailer. First, the market size for the segment is estimated at $585 billion—the largest among all of the store formats[1. IRI Consumer Panel data for 52 weeks ended July 14, 2013, Walmart filings]. Second, it gives the company the opportunity to provide its full array of merchandise. Third, a robust network of supercenters allows the retailer to use these as fulfillment centers for its online sales. It can also use the supercenters as distribution points for its smaller-format stores.
Walmart plans to roll out about 120 new supercenters in fiscal year 2015. It plans to open 60–70 new supercenters in fiscal year 2016. This includes converting existing discount stores to the supercenter format.
Walmart's scale means getting revenue to move. This is a huge effort. In this environment, it's important that the retailer continues to seek opportunities to expand its market share in areas where it thinks customers aren't being served effectively.
Walmart believes that both the Neighborhood Market and supercenter formats will likely provide valuable fill-in opportunities. This will help Walmart compete effectively with other retail companies—like Kroger (KR), Safeway (SWY), Dollar General (DG), Dollar Tree (DLTR), and Family Dollar Stores (FDO).
However, the recent announcement concerning the Dollar Tree acquisition of Family Dollar Stores could disrupt Walmart. For more on how the acquisition could impact Walmart, read Part 28 in this series.
Walmart is the largest holding in the VanEck Vectors Retail ETF (RTH) with an ~10.9% weight. The top ten holdings in RTH also include Costco (COST) with a 4.8% weight—it's seventh. Target (TGT) is tenth with a 4.3% weight.

Our New Boynton Beach Location Is Now OPEN!
Boynton Beach has a new way to lose weight! We know, losing weight is a challenge. You've tried diets, extreme exercise, and everything else with little to no success. If you are like most people, you live a busy life with little time to make sure you are eating a proper diet and making time to work out. Thus, losing weight has become a huge obstacle that seems impossible to move past. That's why we have opened a New Beginnings Medical location in Boynton Beach! Our team of professionals knows exactly what needs to be done in order to lose weight and keep it off for good. Over the years, we have assisted thousands of Florida residents as they have worked towards losing weight with our HCG Diet Plan.
The HCG weight loss program is so named because of its use of the Human Chorionic Gonadotropin hormone, or HCG. This hormone is naturally produced in women during pregnancy. Over the years, scientists have found that this hormone, when administered in low doses to individuals, can actually help increase the person's natural ability to lose weight and keep that weight off. We combine this hormone with a low-calorie diet to promote weight loss at a faster rate than ever before. Instead of slowing down the metabolism, the HCG hormone actual quickens a person's metabolism over the long term! This helps each of our clients reach their weight loss goals safely and quickly. Some people even report losing up to a pound a day on this plan.
While it may sound too good to be true, you can see the results for yourself!
While we are widely known for our weight loss program, we also offer cosmetic services to help you feel your most beautiful from head to toe. From facial peels to Botox, eyelash enhancements to spider vein removal, and more, our team is passionate about delivering high-quality and professional medical spa services to each of our clients. Reach out now to schedule an appointment at our office. Tell us exactly know how we can help you! We want to prove to you why we have become one of the most trusted medical spas in all of Florida. Together, we can work to meet your goals—regardless of whether they are cosmetic or weight loss related.
Get in touch with our team today and schedule your first appointment!

[Release] Centennial Institute, Turning Point USA to hold annual 'Under 30' speech contest as part of Western Conservative Summit

Centennial Institute, Turning Point USA to hold annual 'Under 30' speech contest as part of Western Conservative Summit
Press Release: The KAIROS Company for Colorado Christian University
LAKEWOOD, Col. — Centennial Institute, Colorado Christian University's public policy think tank, invites American citizens under the age of 30 to submit 10-minute speeches to the Western Conservative Summit's "Under 30" speech contest. The theme of this year's summit is, "America! America! God Shed His Grace on Thee," and contestants are encouraged to incorporate the theme into their speech.
"We invite all young, conservative thinkers to send us their thoughts on our theme 'America, America, God Shed His Grace on Thee'" said Jeff Hunt, director of the Centennial Institute. "This could be your moment to become the next conservative voice to Millennials and Generation Z who desperately need to hear another narrative aside from the one propagated by the leftists."
Charlie Kirk, president of Turning Point USA, the largest youth organization in America which promotes the principles of freedom, free markets and limited government, agrees that public speaking is an essential skill for future public servants and leaders.
"Public speaking is the necessary talent young leaders and activists need to hone if they are going to persuade people with their ideas," Kirk said. "If we have the best ideas, and I think we do, we must be able to communicate them powerfully and effectively. It's mandatory, not optional. We are really excited to work with Centennial Institute at CCU on this important competition."
Speeches must be uploaded to YouTube and submitted by 12 a.m. (MT) on Sunday, Sept. 20. They are evaluated by Centennial Institute and Turning Point USA officials on conservative content, speech quality, speaker presence and audience engagement.
Judging will begin on Monday, Sept. 21. The winner will be notified on Friday, Sept. 25, and will be supported in recording a professional-quality filming of their speech. The winning speech will be shown during the virtual Western Conservative Summit on Saturday, Oct. 10, and will be introduced by Benny Johnson from Turning Point USA. The winning speech will also be included in post-Summit YouTube and other video distribution.
Content applications and entries, as well as more information, is available here.

Dimensions	33.5 x 24 x 24" inches.


There's a lot of love on the grid at the moment as our virtual, and real worlds, gear up for the ultimate day of love…Valentine's Day.
However, there is something else happening on Valentine's Day, also in both worlds….One Billion Rising.
In Second Life we mark the day with 24 hours of art, poetry, writings, music and dance, across four sims, as we rise against the injustices of women across the globe. This year's theme, as last year's, is Solidarity.
I've been involved with OBR in Second Life for three years now and so it was no surprise to me when the #MeToo movement uncovered so many women's untold stories. To be honest I think the 1 in 3 figure is low…nearly every woman I've ever met has a story to tell…often more than one.
But, OBR is not about sitting around feeling sorry for ourselves and hating on men. We love men…men are part of the event too as they support the women they love on their journeys. OBR is about sharing, or not if you don't want to, support, dance and laughter and knowing that you are not alone and that millions of women across the globe are there to say I RISE alongside you.

When Rain Meets Tornado
Nelson G. Hathaway	 December 28, 2021 no Comments
A tornado is one type of natural disaster that can occur in every corner of the earth. Tornadoes are known to cause severe damage if they occur in densely populated settlements. Well, do you know why hurricanes can occur on Earth? So that you understand what a hurricane is, its causes, and its effects, let's pay attention to the following explanation. So, What is a Rain-Wrapped Tornado? A hurricane is a strong wind that comes suddenly, has a center, and moves like a spiral.
Tornado speeds can reach 40 to 50 km/hour. This wind touches the earth's surface and will disappear after 3 to 5 minutes. Usually, a hurricane forms some time after a sign of dark skies, black thunderstorm clouds, and the sudden appearance of a funnel from the clouds. Not only in Asia, in Texas, but in the United States, an average of 120 tornadoes can also occur a year. Associated with hurricanes, tornadoes form when the whirlwind's eddies get bigger.
Tornados occur because of the difference in air pressure so that the air pressure forms a vortex in the weather system. There are 3 stages of hurricane formation, namely the growing phase, the adult phase, and the extinct phase. The growing phase is characterized by the presence of air currents that rise upwards with strong pressure, in the clouds. At this stage, the water droplets and crystals cannot become rain because they are still being held back by rising air currents.
Furthermore, in the adult phase, rain begins to fall and causes friction between rising and falling air currents. When the air currents rise and fall, they create a shear current that rotates and forms a vortex. The longer, the air currents will be faster and form a cyclone that touches the earth's surface. It was at that moment that a rain-wrapped tornado occurred. Then in the final phase, namely the extinction phase, the air mass will expand throughout the cloud, then stop, and the hurricane can end.

In China, if a son is born, the aged family member of the family will put him in a tiger-head hat and tiger-head shoes. The boy will play with cloth tigers and sleep on a tiger-head pillow; all in hopes that the child will grow up healthy.
Made of fine brocade, designed in a tiger-head pattern, this hat is prevalent in China. Yellow binding is decorated on the edges of the tiger-head hat. Two red ribbons are sewn on the hat, you may fasten the ribbons according to the size of your child. You will see that a tiger tail and flower-shaped ornaments are on the back side. The tiger-head hat is tailored with red thin wadded lining, so your child will be warm and comfortable in it.


One of my inspirations; hand made wines, as straight as a dye in their truth, a tiny cellar that evoked the poems of Lermontov, and fruit from the fabulous Côte Brune. Supreme artisan work. His last vintage was 1993, but the purple years were the 1980s. Marius's three favourite vintages of that decade, in order, were 1989, 1985 and 1988. Yvonne would handle the corks, and together they would take a day to bottle one of the casks at a time.
