Windermere railway station is the railway station that serves Windermere in Cumbria. It is located just south of the A591, about fifteen minutes' walk or a short bus ride from the lake. The station is clearly marked with a National Rail logo, and is behind the Booths supermarket (which was itself once the railway station) and in front of the Lakeland store. It is the terminus of the former Kendal and Windermere Railway single-track Windermere Branch Line, with a single platform (much longer than the trains usually seen here today) serving one terminal track.
The station was at one time bigger than this, with four platforms and an overall roof [Vaughn, p.115] but all bar one was taken out of use when the branch was reduced to a one-train operated single line in 1973 as an economy measure.
First TransPennine Express run Class 185 diesel multiple units along the line, which runs through Staveley, Burneside, and Kendal, and then interchanges with Virgin Trains West Coast Main Line services at Oxenholme Lake District; some trains then run partly along the main line to Manchester and terminate at Manchester Airport. The station is also a hub for Stagecoach bus services connecting Windermere with Coniston, Grasmere, Keswick, and other destinations in Cumbria. Both Stagecoach and the local council also run regular buses through the town to Bowness Pier; Stagecoach's are open-top double-decker buses running along principal streets, while the local council runs minibuses around the outskirts of town.
The selection of the town of Birthwaite as the location of the station serving the lake was what led to it taking the name Windermere, even though it is not on the water (nowadays it has essentially grown together with Bowness-on-Windermere, which touches the lake).
The railway cottages, built for railway executives in 1849, were designed by the famous architect Augustus Pugin. One of the fireplaces is a copy of one of his in the Palace of Westminster. A typical example is Old Codgers Cottage, currently used as a holiday home. The owners have researched its history to find that it was inhabited by the head Drayman for the railway company on the 1861 census.

MANILA, Dec. 6 — The Asian Development Bank (ADB) and the World Bank (WB) has endorsed US$ 250-million for the Philippines to help in mitigating climate change through the clean technology fund.
"The US$ 250 million CTF money will leverage about US$ 2.75-billion investment in these sectors. CTF US$ 250 million co-financing is key to leveraging resources needed for GHG (green house gas) reduction and accelerating implementation of projects and programs," said Energy Secretary Angelo T. Reyes.
Donor countries, including Australia, France, Germany, Japan, Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom and United States, pledged over US$ 6.1 billion in 2008 for the Clean Technology Fund and Strategic Climate Fund. Clean Technology Fund is of a broad global initiative to help developing countries meet the cost of actions needed to combat climate change.
The Clean Technology Fund, to be issued in concessional loans, will support the deployment of low carbon energy technologies as well as energy efficiency measures for industry, commercial buildings and municipalities.
Activities supported by this fund will get co-financing from ADB's regular operations, and this is expected to mobilize additional financing from both the state and private sectors.
The endorsed amount by the Trust Fund Committee of the CTF is seen to develop a wide range of energy efficiency and renewable energy projects in the Philippines.
The CTF seeks to promote scaled-up financing for demonstration, deployment and transfer of low carbon programs and projects with a significant potential for long-term GHG emissions savings.
The CTF promotes the realization of environmental and social co-benefits thus demonstrating the potential of low-carbon technologies to contribute to sustainable development and the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals (MDBs). The Clean Technology Fund includes programs in the power sector (renewable energy and highly efficient technologies to reduce carbon intensity), transport sector (efficiency and modal shifts), and in energy efficiency (buildings, industry and agriculture).
The Philippines, a leading country in the world in terms of renewable energy (RE), uses RE applications in 43 percent of total primary energy supply. However, the country still has one of the lowest per capita electricity consumption in the East Asia region.
The US$ 250 million investment will aid the country in combating the rising greenhouse gas emissions due to various developmental issues stemming from increased vehicle ownership, rapid urbanization rate, and land use change.
The CTF co-financing scheme is needed to support government efforts in transforming the energy sector through scaled–up distributed generation with RE resources and energy efficiency through demand side management. Demand side management will be able to keep electricity prices competitive by lowering peak demand, and reduced use of power will cut fossil fuel use for power generation.
The US$ 250 million fund will become part of the Philippine CTF Country Investment Plan. The investment plan is a business plan developed by the government in agreement with the ADB and the World Bank Group.
It builds on the Medium-Term Philippine Development Plan (2004-2010), the Philippine Energy Plan (2008-2030), the National Environmentally Sustainable Transport Strategy, and other relevant sector plans. The plan will identify priority sectors for GHG emission reduction. Furthermore, the plan is supportive of the government's poverty alleviation efforts.

Drug Decriminalization Essay
The War on Drugs has been around for more than a hundred years. Enormous amounts of money are spent every year in this war. In past years the discussion about drug prohibition seems to have shifted towards more sensible policies such as drug decriminalization rather than a strict repression. In 2012, Colorado and Washington have decided to legalize cannabis 1 and according to 2014 poll 67% of Americans favors treatment over jail sentences.2 Drug decriminalization seems to be a good step forward as it eradicates many problems for the non-violent users of drugs. On the other hand the black market and issues connected to it as violence, corruption and poor control over the purity and ...view middle of the document...
As a consequence the "funding for military drug interdiction missions nearly quadrupled between 1989 and 1993"8 In the 1990s the American public has witnessed lengthening of sentences and increased number of people put in prison for drug related crimes. Nevertheless, it "failed to reduce the prevalence of drug use, the problem of drug abuse, the incidence of drug offenses and drug-related crime and the related public costs."9 The War on Drugs has been used by politicians as an appealing policy in their campaigns.
3. Why war on drug cannot be won and is a war on people
The Drug War is a war that cannot be won, brings about more problems than resolves and costs great amounts of money. According to 2012 national survey conducted by U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 23,9 % of people aged 12 and older have used an illicit drug in past month.10
It is interesting that a nation whose last three presidents publicly admitted smoking marihuana in their youth wage war against 23,9% of their own people.
"If Colombian cocaine production were stopped tomorrow, Nadelmann said, "the U.S drug problem would change only peripherally." 11
Moreover, in last few year new ways of distributing drugs have appeared and the drug enforcement forces seem to be helpless against them.
For example the Silk-road marketplace is a drug selling website operating on Tor-network which enables internet anonymity and makes it hard for the authorities to trace the connection. The FBI was able to shut down this website in October 201312. However, since the shutdown more than 15 of these marketplaces13 were created and the Silk-road is operating again. Additional example are so called "research chemicals" shops – web-based shops selling new drugs with little or no history of use human use as research chemicals, fertilizers or bath salts.14 The new types of drugs are invented immediately after prohibiting the old ones.
It is not probable that fighting against drugs would change the demand for them. "After a rapist is arrested, there are fewer rapes. After a drug dealer is arrested, however, neither the supply nor the demand for drugs is seriously changed. The arrest merely creates a job opening for an endless stream of drug entrepreneurs who will take huge risks for the sake of the enormous profits created by prohibition."15
The 2013 budged "$25.6 billion in federal spending on the drug war. Of that, $15 billion would go to law enforcement, interdiction and international efforts. "16 In 2012 there were more than 1,5 million drug abuse related arrests in the USA.17
Additionally the war on drugs makes numerous non-problem users to come in to contact with criminal environment to get their drugs.
4. how is decriminalization better?
Decriminalizing drugs removes criminal sanctions from possession of drugs for personal use, while administrative sanctions such as fines or therapy sessions are still permitted.18

No Entrepreneur wants their company to end. But the market is volatile and it's just another part of doing business. Transitioning your business is often more complicated than just closing down shop. You have to plan effectively if you want to get anything out of it. Here are some of your options.
The simplest answer is often the most effective one. Nobody goes into business with the intention of liquidating their company, but it happens all the time. During the process, there are several things to keep in mind. If you liquidate, proceeds from the sale have to be used to pay off creditors first. What's left has to be divided among shareholders. You have to make sure everyone gets their due.
Naturally, there are pros and cons that go with liquidation. On one hand, everything has to come to an end and you don't have to worry about a transfer of control. On the other hand, at most, you will get the market value of your company and a great deal of that sum is shared by a lot of parties.
Sometimes you will get emotionally attached to the company. Years of hard work will make you want to preserve that legacy and pass it on. You can pass ownership of the company to someone you trust if they believe they can elevate the business to new heights. Potential candidates include people like customers, employees, and family members. You can even sell it to lower-level managers.
Often the business owner will pass down their company to their kids. This is the simplest way to go about it and it just feels right. You're preserving your legacy and your children can add to it over time. Unfortunately, there are some problems that go with this kind of transition. They might fight over control of the company, or who gets the largest share. To avoid this, you might want to write down clear instructions during the transfer of power.
They're flashy and pretty popular right now, so what's the deal with IPOs? You want your stocks to go public because that will drive up the value of the company. You start by convincing investors that your stock should be worth as much as possible. Those same investors are going to dilute your ownership to the point that you own very little. After that, if you protect your equity, the money starts to roll in.
It sounds pretty simple, but you're going to need to invest lots of time and effort to start this process. Good professional investors aren't easy to find. How will you know where to look? Not to mention, there's a lot of know-how from there on out that you might need. It's best to seek professional help before considering an IPO. Trustworthy companies like Dean-Willcocks Advisory might be able to help get you on track when going public.
Perhaps you want to leave your kids some money without them running the business into the ground. An acquisition might be more palatable in this case. You're convincing another company to buy your company. In this scenario, you pick the price. If you get the right company, you'll be seeing dollar signs all over the place. If they see value in your company, they'll pay up.
However, it might not end well for the company itself. Sometimes the purchasing company won't manage your former business all that well. The merger might make you and the other CEO some bank, but that doesn't guarantee they won't run it into the ground themselves.
You might enjoy the thrill of starting your own company, but ending it can be just as stressful. Decisions you make along the road can have major consequences for the business. How you decide to walk away from your company can be the difference between getting out with loads of money or nothing at all.

Likud lawmaker Anat Berko
PMO: Israeli politicians escalate rhetoric to dehumanize Palestinians
11/02/2016 Politics 2,399 Views
PNN/ Ramallah/
The Director of Strategic Communications and Media at the Palestinian Prime Minister's Office, Jamal Dajani, on Thursday said that Israeli politicians have increased their rhetoric and incitement towards Palestinians.
Dajani was referring to a recent statement by Likud lawmaker Anat Berko, who said that there was no such thing as a Palestinian people, since Arabic doesn't have the consonant "P."
Dajani added, "disparaging statements like this are meant to dehumanize Palestinians, and distract from the Israeli crimes committed against our people on a daily basis, especially in Area C."
This is not the first time that Israeli politicians have made hateful and racist remarks towards Palestinians; Israeli Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked was previously quoted calling for the slaughter of Palestinian mothers who give birth to "little snakes."

Many folks turn to coconut flour when they decide to ditch wheat. Compared to white flour, coconut flour has about the same amount of protein, but replaces nearly a third of the carbohydrates with good fats. Coconut flour makes decadent desserts, too, if you like the taste of coconut and don't mind a bit of denseness in the final product.
I drained out the coconut milk, pried out the flesh, whirred the latter up in the food processor, then baked the meat at around 350 degrees until it was dry. Mark's mom had sent us a Magic Mill III, and without instructions, I made the mistake of passing my coconut meat through. The good news is, the mill made fine, fluffy flour. The bad news is that there was so much oil in the meat that it left a residue on the mill --- I'm hoping that'll clear out the next time we use it, but I can't recommend using an impact mill on unexpelled coconut meat.
To make coconut flour the right way, you'll need to first send the flesh through an oil expeller. I've hit a bit of a wall with our expeller, but Mark thinks he can convert it to heating with electricity so that smoke doesn't ruin the product. If he gets that going, I think we could make real coconut flour by first expelling the oil, then sending the coconut cake through the Magic Mill.
Have you experimented with coconut flour? I'd be very curious to hear about your technique if you've made the flour at home.
Our chicken waterer gives the flock something to come home for after a day foraging in the woods.
We have not used or made coconut flour but I have made almond flour. I just used raw almonds and the food processor and it turned out pretty good.
You could try running some plain rice through your mill to absorb the coconut oil. That's how I clean my coffee grinder, and it seems to work pretty well. Of course, your next batch of flour will have a bit of rice flour mixed in, but I'm sure that won't be a problem.
Bubbles --- I tried running some wheat through, and it didn't seem to do much good, but I'll happily try rice too! Hopefully that'll clean the gunk out.
A solution of sodium carbonate (washing soda) in warm water is very efficient at removing oils and greases.
The trouble with the mill is that you can't take it apart. (Or, rather, I'm sure you can take it apart, but then it won't go back together.... ) So you can't clean the wheel with anything wet or you'll risk damaging the motor.
I can't imagine a kitchen appliance without some kind of seal between the motor and the wheel. That would be an accident waiting to happen. Most appliances like blenders and grinders allow you to easily disassemble the parts that get dirty for cleaning.
And since it was assembled, it is possible to disassemble it. But it might not be particularly easy. Let Mark have a go at it. Plastic casings these days usually fit together with snap joints. With a small screwdriver or knife blade it is usually possible to open those.


Thanks to his "Return by Death" ability and a little help from Beatrice, Subaru gets to the morning of the fifth day alive. However, an unexpected tragedy occurs! Can Subaru save the residents of the mansion, or is he doomed to re-live his pain once again?

Russian Wheat Aphid (RWA) was first found in Australia in 2016, and first appeared in drill-sown rice crops in 2017.
The common armyworm Leucania convecta (Mythimna convecta) was a localised and sporadic pest of rice until the 2011/12 rice season, but since that time it has become a much more consistent and widespread problem, particularly in the Murray Valley.
Last year the Southern Riverina experienced a significant increase in wild duck populations. This was due to above average rainfall across most of the State, with several stations including Cobar and Griffith recording their wettest winter on record.
Rice water weevil (Lissorhoptrus oryzophilus) is an exotic plant pest not present in Australia This pest is a serious threat to Australia's rice industry.
Snails in rice crops can be effectively managed through crop rotations, however this con icts with the need for farmers to minimise total farm water use by using water remaining in the soil pro le from the previous crop.
Bloodworms are the larvae of midges, and are major pests of aerially-sown rice crops. At least one preventative insecticide treatment has to be applied each season to protect seedlings during crop establishment.

None of us are ready to forecast the potential. We may possibly have a excellent idea of what will occur if recent problems continue. But we are unable to predict the surprising. Lifestyle insurance coverage is an critical way to provide for the surprising--as it will have an effect on individuals we enjoy. Here are some ideas to think about.
When you have decided on a existence insurance policy, be sure that anybody who is afflicted by it is mindful of it. Provide the heir will all details of the sum insured, where you have located the policy documentation, and all the contacts for financial representatives they require to phone to make the claim when the time arises.
Will not get far more life insurance policies than you actually want. You want to purchase just adequate for your family's needs. Buying too considerably life insurance coverage implies that you will stop up spending a good deal more in premiums. Be positive, although, that you will not skimp on your insurance policy and end up with a policy that will not likely give for your household.
You should make sure your existence insurance policy company has a good track record when you are searching to enroll in a policy. A more affordable plan by way of an unreputable company will give little comfort and ease if they are not able to honor the payout when essential.
Reduced the expense of life insurance policies by quitting cigarette smoking. Cigarette smoking is one particular of the biggest health chance variables from an insurance coverage standpoint, but some lifestyle insurers will decrease your charges with just one yr of getting smoke-totally free. Following two to 3 a long time of non-using tobacco standing, some insurance coverage businesses will set men and women into the normal price class, minimizing premiums significantly.
Existence insurance policy is in fact cheaper if you chose multiples of $250,000 in coverage. So, if you want $230,000 you will really have to pay more then just rounding it up to $250,000. It is in no way a bad thing to save a little money, and you can use that financial savings for anything else.
One of the most critical variables when choosing on a daily life insurance coverage policy is deciding on which business to get it from. There are different companies that offer life insurance coverage and some provide guidelines at considerable special discounts compared to other people. Nonetheless, not all businesses are financially secure ample to reliably shell out off potential promises on your insurance. These firms typically have reduced credit score scores. Although receiving a very good deal for your income is essential, it is much more crucial to pick a business with a higher credit score as they are much more most likely to be about to satisfy their duties. You may possibly need to amend your existence insurance policies policy if you have transformed your occupation. The insurance coverage insurance policies are meant to help your family members when you pass absent. They take into account how considerably funds you are creating yearly but if you do not report a adjust, it may possibly be primarily based off of your previous revenue. If you are creating $30,000 far more a year that could make a massive variation in the amount of money that your family members will get.
Obtaining daily life insurance policy is not just for abundant people. In truth, it is probably much more crucial for individuals with reduced to medium incomes than for those in greater tax brackets. Closing expenditures and residing expenses will not go away with the demise of a family member. You require protection to make positive these fees are lined.
People can never ever forecast an incident or other tragic event that leaves them unable to operate. Before this occurs, make sure you can protect your dependents by acquiring a daily life insurance plan. Bear in mind the suggestions in this report in purchase to choose the ideal plan and fee for your situation.


Fassinating Fassbender - A Michael Fassbender Fan Blog: TIFF Alert Update!
I am orgasmically happy to inform you all that due to my misunderstanding of the Pearl Jam Toronto concert schedule, my Fassbender Film activities do not conflict and I WILL be able to see Pearl Jam Monday night, 9/12 at Air Canada Centre! Wooooooooohoooooooooooooooooooo! Believe me when I say that however ecstatic I am about seeing two Michael Fassbender films, I did mourn the idea of not being able to see my most favorite band rock out in a city that I visit so frequently, but never had the opportunity to see them play at. So this TIFF trip is turning out to be the most fulfilling and spectacular one of all! My two favorite entertainers in one city, and September is my birthday month too!
I have had to adjust my Monday night TIFF film schedule to accommodate the Pearl Jam concert event, however, I did have the forethought to keep my Saturday, September 10th evening free after the screening of 'A Dangerous Method' to host a Fassinating Fassbendering dinner and drinks event. I'll even get all fancy and send out Evites, even to the one person who cares to RSVP. The 'Method' screening at Roy Thomson Hall ends at 8pm, giving me and anyone else plenty of time for the remainder of the evening to go somewhere after and have a meal and a drink or two and talk about the movie, Michael Fassbender, and anything else that comes to mind. So, if you're reading this and you plan on attending TIFF, and you plan on seeing 'Method', and you don't plan on watching another film afterwards, and you want to meet up with me to hang out in vibrant and fun Toronto, please send me an email and we'll start making arrangements.
This is the man who will be the topic of conversation at a soon to be announced place and time around 8:30pm, Saturday, September 10, 2011 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
I'm very happy for you! I also hope you meet Michael!
Thank you MLM, I wish you could attend!

An MBA is a very popular degree to have. When it comes to top MBA programs in the US, the craze is simply too high. Besides stiff competition to get into the top US business schools, the expenses of doing an MBA from those schools is also a worrying factor for international students including Indian students. So, how to finance your MBA in the US? Let's have a look at the best six ways for Indian students to finance their MBA in USA.
A Masters of Business Administration (M.B.A.) degree can help you to enhance your career opportunities, achieve better salary, promotions, and a career change. The Master of Business Administration (aka MBA) is a specialized degree that aims to equip you with the wide range of skills and knowledge to manage a business more effectively, and also to start a new business.
Thus, an MBA is a big career booster, provided you're attending the right business school. Yes, choosing the right school (not necessarily the best school) plays a big role. Once you have been done with b-school shortlisting, it is time to think about – How are you going to finance your MBA?
An MBA from a top business school can cost you more than USD $100K (even $200K). So, you would be looking at INR 70 Lacs to 1.5 Crore. Besides, you will also need to take care of your living expenses. Though rare, the funding issues can stop you to attend your dream business school. Read the story of an Indian candidate who got accepted into INSEAD, but couldn't attend the program in the first attempt. She made it again in her second attempt, though. Now, that's a sheer example of resilience and determination.
So, the bottom line is that you do need to think about your financing options early. It is as important as selecting the right business school or crafting your MBA essays in a compelling way. There are many options for financing your MBA abroad. It's always better to think about multiple options, rather than depending on only one or two. Top Business Schools do offer generous scholarships to international students. But, not everyone will end up with a free-ride (full scholarship). Likewise, you can avail bank loans, but you might not get a bank loan of more than INR 20 Lacs (or 40 Lacs). You have to save a bit as well. You can't rely completely (or too much) on family support like this candidate below.
HBS offers need-based scholarships to international students with various interests and backgrounds.

You can also look at Samder's LinkedIn profile to get an idea what it takes it get a scholarship for attending a top MBA program (please refrain from sending the request unless you know him).
Columbia provides need-based financial aid up to USD $30, 000. Besides, there are also options of merit-based scholarships like Forte Foundation Scholarship and Toigo Fellowship and other options.
There is a specific scholarship scheme for Indian students at Chicago Booth that was introduced in 2014. Besides, some other generous scholarship schemes are The India Trust Fellowship (for those living and working in India), Akhtarali H. Tobaccowala Fellowship (for students from India), The Zonis Fellowship (international student from an emerging economy), Canfield Private Equity Fellowship (prior experience in private equity or investment banking), Forté Foundation Fellowship and Distinguished Fellows Program (full-tuition and $25, 000 stipend each year).

Crowdfunding is the modern way of raising money. It is getting popular for financing MBA programs these days. You might like to read How to crowdfund your MBA on Financial Times. Well, setting up a website or page, and asking for money might not be feasible for everyone. In that case, you can look up to agencies like Prodigy Finance that offers Collateral-Free Education Loan.
Prodigy Finance is not a banking setup. It offers funded loans to international MBA candidates who are looking at to study at top business schools. The loans are funded by a combination of business school alumni investors, high net worth individuals, the business school community and institutional investors who have an interest in higher education.
To know more about the interest rates and loan approval details, read more about Collateral Free Education Loan from Prodigy Finance for MBA abroad.
Company sponsorships are hard and tricky at the same time. Hard because unless you are working for a big firm and you are among the top performers, then chances are quite low. Tricky because almost all companies would ask you to come back after finishing an MBA, and work for them for 2 – 5 years (you will need to sign a bond or agreement). Now, major reasons for going for an MBA is to change profession, job or country. So, company sponsorships might not be the best option for everyone. But, if you are already working in the Consulting industry, you could consider this option.
An education loan from a bank for foreign education is very common. But, for MBA studies, this is not too straightforward. Firstly, a bank loan (from Nationalised or Private Bank in India) will cover only a part of the tuition fees. Besides, apart from formal documents (MBA acceptance letter, academic record etc.), you also need to provide collaterals. Another critical factor would be comparatively high-interest rates. But, assume you have secured a partial scholarship or assistantship, and now looking for another source to fund the remaining costs, education loans from banks are very handy.
Loans from non-banking institutions can cover full tuition fees. However, please be advised that collaterals are required (if not for the whole amount). Now, let's look at some of the options.
Avanse is one of the most popular bodies in India and a part of the DHFL group. Avanse loans can cover up to 100% tuition fees and other costs. The interest rates are floating in nature, and processing fees will be valid as well (1 – 2% of the total loan amount). Know more about Education Loans for Study Abroad from Avanse.
HDFC Credila is a subsidiary of HDFC bank and offers loans to Indian students for abroad-education. The loans are disbursed with a floating rate of interest (little less than Avanse), and repayment period can be extended to 10 years. However, Credila loans require extensive supporting paperwork.
The GSLC can provide loans for international students for study in the US without the requirement of a co-signer.
The ISLP is a specifically designed program for international students who are looking at to study in the US. The loans cover tuition fees and other expenses. You can borrow as little as USD $1, 500, and the repayment period can be extended to 25 years. ISLP does need a co-signer.
This might sound trivial. But, personal savings can be of great use while planning your MBA finances. You are likely to work around 3 – 4 years before joining a top MBA program. If you plan and save accordingly during that period, you can fund a significant portion of your MBA fees, say the first two terms. Then there are always other options including university scholarships in the second year. Family support is fine, and there is no harm in it. But, my personal recommendation would be not to exhaust your parents' savings for a top MBA program.
As you can see, there are several options to fund your MBA in abroad. The returns on investment are also excellent; especially from the top business schools (see the stats below by the US News).

[Review] George Duke: Feel (1974)
A crossover of space fusion and synth funk, featuring Frank Zappa as the mysterious Obdewl'l X.
Kronomyth 6.0: Funk, Frank and Flora.
Feel is a transitional record between the space fusion of his last effort, Faces In Reflection, and the synth funk of the future. It also features Frank Zappa's blistering electric guitar on two tracks, billed here as the mysterious Obdewl'l X. If you're approaching this from Faces, a lot of this will feel familiar. The new wrinkle is the funk ("Funny Funk," "Old Slipper") and a certain Barry Whiteness in the spirit/love vibe of songs like "Feel" and "Love."
George Duke has a gentle voice, which he multitracks to give it an extra dimension. Flora Purim also appears on one track, "Yana Aminah," but it's a missed opportunity as Duke seems musically out of synch with what should have been a slam-dunk Brazilian jazz number. Zappa is the elephant in the room, literally. His guitar solos on "Love" and "Old Slipper" completely dominate the surrounding landscape like an eclipse; in fact, Duke seems to throw a musical wrench into "Old Slipper" just to prepare the listener for Zappa's heavy footfalls.
The remaining songs follow the space fusion of Faces for the most part: "Rashid," "Cora Joberge," "The Once Over." An interesting exception is the short theme from an unfinished opera, Tzina, a classical jazz piece that explores a heretofore hidden dark side to Duke. (Pieces of Tzina would appear over the years on other Duke works.) The album's closing "Statement" simply restates the theme to "Love."
Scene and not Heard.
It's fair to say that the George Duke of the future arrives on Feel. You get the sense, listening to the opening "Funny Funk," that you're witnessing the birth of something important as Duke adds progressive layers of synthesizers to build up the groove. The pull of Zappa's orchestral music is still strong, and both the vocals and arrangements recall The Mothers more than a few times, but the sexy spirituality and funkiness are pure Duke.
It's worth noting that this album marks the end of the unofficial George Duke Trio Mk. II, as John Heard was replaced by Alphonso Johnson for the next album, The Aura Will Prevail. Ndugu was a stroke of fortune for Duke, but I was always bored with Heard on the electric bass (in his defense, he was an acoustic bass player at heart). Ndugu also gets a songwriting credit this time on "The Once Over," featuring Airto Moreira on percussion and continuing the adventures begun with Herbie Hancock on Mwandishi.
For fusion fans, Faces is still the first album to own, but Feel is a fine followup purchase. As for Zappa fans, I understand the man has released a few albums under his own name, so you may want to start there.

Q: HERE MAPS: Autosuggest Places for Angular I'm trying to implement Autosuggest Places from HERE Maps to the Angular project, but it seems like there is no option to use /autosuggest endpoint?
Is there any workaround to get autosuggested values with full location response?
If I use "Suggest", then the response is just address name.
I've set up the project as described by Nic Raboy on https://developer.here.com/blog/display-here-maps-angular-web-application
For getting autosuggested values, I would love to use something like this ( that should make sense based on the documentation ):
declare let H;
...
private platform: any;

...

this.platform = new H.service.Platform({
      app_id: <app_id>,
      app_code: <app_code>
    });
...

const place = this.f.address.value;
const parameters = {
   at: '52.5113,13.3791',
   q: place
};

const places = this.platform.getPlacesService();
places.autosuggest(parameters,
    result => {
      console.log(result);
    }, error => {
      reject(error);
    });

places.autosuggest does not exists, and based on the v3_3.0.mapsjs-service.js, places only support: "Suggest", "Explore", "Around", "Here", "Caetgories".

A: The methods suggest, explore, and others from the Maps JavaScript API, are convenient wrappers around Places API REST endpoints.
You can get results from Places Autosuggest, by using the Angular HttpClient class and calling the Autosuggest API directly.
This will be something along the lines of:
this.http.get<AutosuggestResult>(
   'https://places.api.here.com/places/v1/autosuggest',
  { params }
)

Although we loved the old marble flooring, black wasn't the best choice of colour. In a building that operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, you simply cannot have a black floor as you can easily see any dust and or dirt that accumulates between cleans.
Instead, we decided to go with dark brown, vinyl laminated flooring. Laminated flooring is much quicker a keep it looking its best. Having laminated flooring makes the building much warmer and cleaner.


What will be the logical result when the Holy Spirit controls your life? How does the diagram below compare with your life?
How does the diagram below compare with your life?
In what area of your life do you believe the Holy Spirit needs to be more in control?
What will be the result when He is in control?
The moment you receive Christ, you are regenerated, indwelt, sealed, baptized, and filled with the Holy Spirit. As a result, you have the potential to live a life of victory over sin and witness in the power of the Holy Spirit. This potential is released by faith as you surrender control of you life to Him.
In this lesson, you will see how the Holy Spirit can work in your life and the results you can expect as you yield yourself to His control.
Can a person be a Christian and not have the Holy Spirit dwelling in Him? (Romans 8:9) Explain.
Are you filled with the Holy Spirit? How do you know?
Do you really desire to be filled with the Holy Spirit? Why?
(If you are still unsure you are filled with the Holy Spirit, and need further help, please click here to learn about the Spirit-Filled Life.
Why Are So Few Christians Filled With The Holy Spirit?
Through the centuries, many of Christ's followers have been ordinary people. Nothing spectacular ever happened to them or through them. Then, as happened to Peter on the day of Pentecost when he was filled with the Holy Spirit, their lives were dramatically changed.
No longer ordinary or average, they became men and women of God — bold in faith and instruments of God's power.
Today, the same Holy Spirit with His life-changing power, is available to each of us. Yet, tragically, multitudes of Christians go through life without ever experiencing the abundant and fruitful life that Christ promised to all who trust Him.
In this lesson, you will examine the reasons so few Christians have experienced the infilling of the Spirit. And you will have the opportunity to consider any barriers you may have erected between yourself and God. I urge you to mediate and reflect on how they may apply to your own life.
How does Paul describe himself in Romans 7:19-24? How does this description make you feel?
In your own words, explain why so many Christians are unhappy, according to Galatians 5:16-17.
Lack of trust in God will also keep you from being filled with the Holy Spirit. Read John 3:16, Romans 8:32, and I John 3:16. Describe how these verses help you trust God fully.
Basically, the reason most Christians are not filled with the Holy Spirit is that they are unwilling to surrender their wills to God.
Examine the diagram above and write any of those, or other barriers you are aware of between yourself and God.
If you are, pray this prayer with all of your heart to turn your life over to God.
Dear Father, I need you. I acknowledge that I have been directing my own life and that, as a result, I have sinned against you. I thank you that you have forgiven my sins through Christ's death on the cross for me. I now invite you to again take your place on the throne of my life. Fill me with the Holy Spirit as you commanded me to be filled. I pray this in the name of Jesus. As an expression of my faith, I thank you for taking control of my life and for filling me with the Holy Spirit.
A desire to serve Jesus Christ and help others receive Him as their Lord and Savior should be your motive for being filled with the Holy Spirit.
What is the command found in Ephesians 5:18?
What is the promise found in I John 5:14-15?
What is one prerequisite to being filled with the Spirit according to Matthew 5:6?
How are you applying this to your life?
If your desire to be filled with the Spirit is sincere, what will you do now? (Romans 12:1-2)This means there can be no unconfessed sin in your life. The Holy Spirit cannot fill an unclean vessel. He waits to fill you with His power.
You can be filled with the Holy Spirit only by faith. Prayer is one way of expressing your faith. If you truly desire to be filled with the Holy Spirit, you can pray this prayer now:Dear Father, I need you. I acknowledge that I have been directing my own life and that, as a result, I have sinned against you. I thank you that you have forgiven my sins through Christ's death on the cross for me. I now invite you to again take your place on the throne of my life. Fill me with the Holy Spirit as you commanded me to be filled. I pray this in the name of Jesus. As an expression of my faith, I thank you for taking control of my life and for filling me with the Holy Spirit.
What must you have when you ask Him to fill you? (Hebrews 11:6)If you have asked the Holy Spirit to fill you, thank Him. God is dependable; His word is true. If you are sincere, He has filled you.
How Can You Know When You Are Filled?
Did you sincerely follow the steps outlined in Lesson 4?
Did you ask the Holy Spirit to fill you?
If you did not, Lesson 5 and 6 will not mean much to you. Go back to Lesson 4 and ask God to work in your heart. If He has filled you, you will be anxious to proceed with these next two lessons.
What will the Holy Spirit demonstrate in and through your life as a result of His filling you? (Galatians 5:22-23) Which specific fruit of the Spirit do you need the most of right now?
Read Acts 1:8. How do you see this power at work in your life? How does John 15:16 apply to you today?
How do you identify with I Corinthians 12:1-11 and Ephesians 4:11?
What mannerisms, language, activities, and inconsistencies in your life do you think are hindering the Holy Spirit from developing His fruit, power, and gifts in you?
Feelings: When you were filled with the Spirit, did you feel any different?
Do not depend upon feelings. The promise of God's word, not our feelings, is our authority. The Christian lives by faith in the trustworthiness of God Himself and His Word.
The train will run with or without the caboose. However, it would be futile to attempt to pull the train by the caboose. In the same way, we do not depend upon feelings or emotions, but we place our faith (trust) in the trustworthiness of God and the promise of His Word.
Though you may not be aware of a change immediately, with the passing of time you will see some evidence of your being filled with the Spirit. If there is no change, the Holy Spirit is not in charge.
Do you think a person can be filled with the Holy Spirit and not be aware of it? Explain your answer.
Do you have a greater love for Christ?
Do you have a greater love for God's word?
Is prayer more important to you?
Are you more concerned for those who do not know Christ as Savior?
Are you experiencing a greater boldness, liberty, and power in witnessing?
If you are a Christian, the Holy Spirit already dwells within you. When you purchase a mechanical item that runs on batteries, frequently the notice "Batteries Not Included" is printed on the box. The Holy Spirit — your source of power for living — is "included" when you receive Jesus Christ as your Savior and Lord. Therefore, you do not need to invite Him to come into your life. He came to live within you when you became a Christian, and Jesus promised that He will never leave you.
Being filled with the Holy Spirit, however, is not a once-for-all experience. There are many fillings, as is made clear in Ephesians 5:18.
Read Ephesians 5:18. In the original Greek, "be filled" means "keep on being filled constantly and continually." Living a godly life is a vital part of this process.
Which two commandments do you think are most important to living the Spirit-filled life? (Matthew 22:36-40) Why?
How can Spiritual Breathing enable you to live a godly life and be filled continually with the Holy Spirit?
To be filled continually with the Holy Spirit, you must abide in Christ. Read John 14:21. How can you do that? (John 15:1-11, 15:10) What does the example of the vine and the branches in verses 1-8 mean to you in your Christian life?
Do not grieve the Holy Spirit. Read Ephesians 4:25-32. How do you grieve the Holy Spirit? Which commandment in that list do you need to pay special attention to?
How can you get rid of the sin in your life? According to Romans 8:13, what does the Holy Spirit want for you?
Spend time daily in prayer and Bible study. What do these verses teach about the role of prayer in the life of the Spirit-filled believer?
What do these verses tell us about the role of God's Word in the Spirit-filled life?
Obey God's commandments. According to these verses, what role does obedience have in the Spirit-filled life?
Witness for Christ. According to Acts 1:8, for what purpose was the Holy Spirit given?
How is the Holy Spirit's fullness and power evident in your life?
List any areas of your life in which the Holy Spirit is not in control.
List the areas where the Holy Spirit is in control.
What practical steps will you take this week to give the Holy Spirit full control of those areas that you have not surrendered to Him?
Have you realized a victory today over a sin you confessed yesterday? Describe.
Is the Holy Spirit a personality or an impersonal force? How do you know? What is the chief reason the Holy Spirit has come?
What is the command of Ephesians 5:18?
What is the promise of I John 5:14-15?
Name as many reasons as you can that Christians are not filled with the Holy Spirit.
What should be your motives for being filled with the Spirit?
How can you be filled with the Spirit?
How do you know you are filled with the Spirit?
How can you continue to be filled with the Spirit?

American Rock Stars
Nick Offerman narrates an all-access series following the defending gold medalist men's curling team as they represent the United States at the 2022 Winter Olympics. A group of regular guys with small-town roots relives their memorable gold medal run from 2018, when they went from relative obscurity to worldwide fame. The documentary tells the personal stories of skip John Shuster, the anchor of the squad, and each team member. From their unlikely success in Pyeongchang to the challenge of fending off an upstart team of rivals at the Olympic trials, it's a feel-good story of how a team of self-described rejects tries to overcome challenges and the pressure to reach the pinnacle of their sport one more time. Narrated by Nick Offerman, American Rock Stars follows John Shuster and his team of self-described \"scrappy regular guys from Middle America\" as they prepare to defend their gold medal at the 2022 Winter Olympics. The series, directed by Sports Emmy Award-winner Scott Boggins, goes behind the scenes with the team that stole the hearts of America in 2018 and rocketed the sport of curling to a new level of fame. Anchored by the team's captain, John Shuster, the series shows a new side to each of the team members – Matt Hamilton, Chris Plys and John Landsteiner – from their small-town roots all the way to the dramatic trials.

Devil's Due Review
January 21, 2014 February 21, 2014 Albert Cantu
Let's not beat around the bush- 2013 was a pretty terrible year for the horror genre, with James Wan's Insidious: Chapter 2 and The Conjuring, along with the possible exception of Rob Zombie's Lords of Salem, accounting for the bulk of the noteworthy releases. Understandably, we move into 2014 with our fingers crossed and our popcorn in hand for the first horror release of the year. Unfortunately for us all, Devil's Due happens to be another entry into two of the most bloated and overdone horror sub-genres around: found footage, and the coming of the antichrist.
The film comes to us from directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, both of whom collaborated on the 2012 horror anthology V/H/S. Allegedly, the duo had declined to take on other projects in favor of focusing on Devil's Due, as they were intrigued with the more character-based plot. Though admirable in its own way, I can't help but feel as though their intentions were misguided when they took on this project, mainly because Bettinelli and Gillett aren't quite skilled enough in their craft yet (their entire filmographies consist solely of V/H/S and Devil's Due) to turn an overdone premise into something memorable. More to the point, I don't think that a story like Devil's Due was ever particularly conducive to sending the audience on an emotional roller coaster in the first place.
Starring Zach Gilford and Allison Miller as newly married couple Zach and Sam McCall, the film comes in to its own a little more where the acting is concerned. Gilford and Miller have a surprising chemistry between them, and the usual groan-worthy forcedness that plague these kinds of movies isn't really present. I can kind of see where the directors were coming from with the whole "character-based" angle, especially in the film's early scenes, but at the same time, it's not nearly enough to carry the entire movie on its own. On a side note, Gilford is slated to appear in the upcoming sequel to The Purge, so I'm debating whether to save his inevitable ritualistic debasement for later on or to get it out of the way now.
Before I get into the the film's problems- of which there were many- I do have one positive thing to say about it; that is- the narrative does a great job of depicting the two leads as the smitten, happy couple before coming out and hitting the audience with the heavy stuff. Devil's Due actually is a great example of a movie that gives the viewer a point of reference and context, so when things start to go down hill, it carries much more emotional weight because we've already, at least to some extent, become invested in the couple's happiness.
Like I mentioned before, the film kind of trips right out of the gate thanks to its flawed concepts. It baffles me why anyone, at the start of 2014 no less, would choose to integrate found footage into an antichrist story. The fact of the mater is that we've all seen this same song and dance so many times before, and we've seen it done better. Theres an overwhelming stench of stagnation about the project, which is ironic because of the directors' supposed desire to innovate.
After a certain point, Devil's Due, like so many other horror movies, ends up losing me. Personally speaking, that point came during the last quarter of the movie when it was apparently decided that the lovely Mrs. McCall could use telekinetic powers, apropos of nothing, to sling people around left and right in the laziest excuse for jump scares I've seen in a while. Compounding the problem- again ironically- is the fact that the cameras selected to best capture the found footage feel of the movie are ill-suited to special effects; the same effects, I might add, on which the later half of the film relies heavily. Bettinelli and Gillett shot themselves in the foot from the word 'go,' and I suspect that their lack of experience was primarily to blame.
Briefly- I know I've rambled on for too long here- for all the posturing that was made about the story being character focused, it seems like the actual plot kind of takes a backseat during most of the movie, and instead the story seems to be told piecemeal through a series of mostly unconnected vignettes. It seems silly to think that such an emphasis was placed on character development when most of the scenes could be arranged in any order and the final product could have been of more or less the same quality.
Chances are that you know if you'll like Devil's Due already, and sure, there are worse ways to chew up a couple of hours. At the same time though, there are so many other, better movies that capture the spirit of this film that it isn't really worth your time.
