Everyone loves a traditional homemade Easter breakfast or a big family-style dinner, but there are many reasons to eat out for the holiday instead. Think less stress, absolutely no mess, and more time to focus on your family. Luckily, there are plenty of restaurants in Fort Lauderdale that are open for Easter brunch and dinner.

Supreme Court rejects Google's request to block Android antitrust ruling
Google has lost its fight in India's Supreme Court to block an antitrust order. This is a major setback that will force the company to change the business model of its popular Android operating system in a key growth market.
The Competition Commission of India (CCI) ruled in October that Alphabet Inc's Google exploited its dominant position in Android and told it to remove restrictions imposed on device makers, including related to pre-installation of apps. It also fined Google $161 million.
Google challenged the order in the Supreme Court, saying it would hurt consumers and its business. It warned growth of the Android ecosystem could stall and it would be forced to alter arrangements with more than 1,100 device manufacturers and thousands of app developers. Google also said "no other jurisdiction has ever asked for such far-reaching changes".
A three-judge bench at the Supreme Court, which included India's chief justice, delayed the Jan. 19 implementation of the CCI's directives by one week, but declined to block them.
During the hearing, Chief Justice D.Y Chandrachud said, "We are not inclined to interfere. Look at the kind of authority which you wield in terms of dominance."
About 97% of 600 million smartphones in India run on Android, according to Counterpoint Research estimates. Apple (AAPL.O) has just a 3% share.
India's top court asked a lower tribunal, which is already hearing the matter, to decide on Google's challenge by March 31.
Android has been the subject of various investigations by regulators around the world. South Korea has fined Google for blocking customised versions of it to restrict competition, while the United States Justice Department has accused Google of executing anticompetitive distribution agreements for Android. In India, the CCI has ordered Google that the licensing of its Play Store "shall not be linked with the requirement of pre-installing" Google search services, the Chrome browser, YouTube or any other Google applications. It also ordered Google to allow the uninstalling of its apps by Android phone users in India.

Nowadays, progressively people work long hours and they do not posses sufficient time to handle any pets like puppies or cats because they are always in rush and the animals need to be taken for a walk and the pets enjoy to be stroked as commonly as it is potential.
For those causes, they search for dogs which do not demand so much notice and enjoy and which arrange their own times. One of the examples of such pets is definitely fish which can live in each tank tank. Moreover, there are some species which do not need any specialists treatment like warm water which must be monitored continuously, special meals ( for instance malawi chips) or special plants. It is apparent that they need having clean h2o and the sufficient amount of meals but that is it, not more.
Various individuals do not need to breed the ordinary looking fishes; they search strange species which will make their fish tank out of standard. Today, progressively men and women select fishes which can be found in the warm water, for example, Nemo fishes.
Nevertheless, it is advisable to know what systems need be provided to make the fishes the sufficient environment even in little fish tank. Where can you find the appropriate knowledge about the fish, the ingredients products they enjoy and the environment which need to be provided them?
•	Websites – there are lots of different websites dedicated to fish. Furthermore, they included many useful tips and advices prepared by experienced aquarium enthusiasts and another users of the website.
•	Books – it is 1 of the most reliable sources because many of the books are written by experienced zoologists who own the relevant skills and many years of knowledge in breeding the fish in the fish tanks.
•	Shop assistant in the pet store – the majority of dog shops have the unique area dedicated only fishes. Here work employees who know how to reproduce the fish to achieve good looking fish tank with lots of pleased and healthy fish.

Kanagawa Prefecture Odawara Enoura Observatory
神奈川県 小田原
江の浦測候所
Ocean horizon, sun, and stones
Here is where the work of modern artist Hiroshi Sugimoto continues to be compiled. The "weather station" is a jest of Sugimoto's; he has clearly named the dominant feature of this facility, where celestial events such as the summer and winter solstices, is fused with the architecture. Certainly, if you visit before dawn, you will understand how readily the entire facility responds to light. The place is a test site, both grand and minute, for the beauty of light, rocks, architecture, the ocean horizon, the movement of celestial bodies, and time, working together.
Sugimoto's representative work, Seascapes, is a series of photographs in which the sea is observed from above, from a high elevation, with the ocean horizon in the middle of the composition. Sugimoto says that if we liken the human retina to photographic paper, an image capturing the length of human history is continually being exposed there. With this kind of imagination as the context, it could be that Hiroshi Sugimoto is continually recording Seascape as an image of the world that appears to end up in an accumulation of myriad images.
At the center of the Enoura Observatory is a 100-meter long gallery where the Seascape series is displayed. At the very end of the space that stretches straight towards the sea, the current seascape, "trimmed" exactly like the photographs appear. The artist says that he chose this high ground in Odawara because the extremely distinct ocean horizon visible here accords with the awakening of the self that he experienced at an early age. I reckon that, inspired by his childhood experience, he purchased this mandarin grove on a hill rich with nature, and created a space that resonates with the seascape.
Early morning sunlight on the summer solstice appears through the front of the exhibition room for Seascapes, and streams through its 100-meter space in a straight line. Below the gallery is a tunnel made of thick iron designed to bring in early morning sunlight on the winter solstice, marking the precise position of the light's path. Visitors in this rectangular dark tunnel will once again encounter a living "Seascape", perfectly framed. Simply put, the basic structure of the facility is predicated on the intersection of the incident rays of the summer and winter solstices.
Based on the central gallery, the observatory is dotted with an outdoor Noh stage of optical glass, a chashitsu, machiai, mon, (tea ceremony room, tea ceremony waiting room, and the small doorway to the tea room) and structures that remind one of archeological remains. In most of these, stone is utilized. They are conceptualized not only as objects through which Japan's architectural history and traditional construction methods are handed down, but also as archeological art that proceeds with time, bequeathing history to future generations by using the sturdy material that is stone.
Stones and light
"The material of the future is reclaimed material." So says Hiroshi Sugimoto, who loves stone. In the Sakuteiki (Records of Garden Making), compiled in the Heian Era (794-1185), it is written, "First, erect the stones". But Sugimoto understands this as "First, lay the stones flat on the ground." A wide variety of stones are used, ranging from the Kofun period (250-538 CE) to the present, to archeological relics to the Nebukaishi stones collected in the vicinity. If we understand stones or rocks as keeping a record of the Earth's composition, it becomes possible to understand the consonance between the space in which these are laid flat and the ocean horizon.
The Noh stage laid with optical glass, parallel to the iron tunnel, is aligned toward the sunrise during the winter solstice. The stage is ringed by guest seating, and arranged like a life-size recreation of the ruins of a Roman amphitheater. On this floating glass stage with the sea as background, one never tires of gazing at the reflection of the sky, from sunrise to sunset. In the facility there also sit the mon of a Muromachi-era Buddhist temple as its entry gateway and the Uchoten tea house, a reinterpretation of Sen no Rikyu's famous tea house, Taian. These suggest Sugimoto's experience with the samadhi of suki, (the love for elegant aestheticism, such as cha no yu, ikebana and waka (31-syllable Japanese poem). The observatory continues to be developed with the guidance of Sugimoto's imagination.

Trump's victim mentality strikes a chord with some
Norman Bell
Another debate, another good start for Donald Trump ending in a train wreck.
Media pundits are freaking out about Trump saying he won't promise to accept the election result as legitimate. The system is rigged, he blusters. Blasphemy, they scream. The democracy's foundation is built on a peaceful transition following a fair election. To not accept the premise is to disqualify yourself.
Election day can't come soon enough.
America is poised to elect Hillary Clinton as its president, a bit of gender history unfolding before our eyes. But the challenges to her government will be many. Polls suggest Democrats will take control of the Senate but the House is likely to remain controlled by Republicans. Legitimate or not, that result would assure ongoing stalemate. The wild card is the continuing erosion of Trump's support as voters tire of his personality and his antics. Will it cause some Republicans to stay home, harming the party's chances in down-ticket races?
Clinton correctly called Trump on his habit of seeing himself as a victim. He's previously claimed rigged Republican primaries, rigged judicial processes in the matter of Trump University, rigged media, rigged polling, even a rigged process for deciding not to hand an Emmy award to his TV show. The good news for Trump (and the bad news for America) is that The Donald is not the only one who feels victimised. It is a trademark of the Rust Belt men who have seen their jobs go offshore, the Southern states still playing catch-up 150 years after the Civil War, the under-educated who see immigrants getting ahead of them. These voters form the backbone of Trump's support.
They are troubled that their wives are often becoming the primary breadwinner. They recognise they lack the pensions and security their fathers had. They see the American Century slipping away. And they don't like any of it.
For this cohort, time is moving too fast. They don't need to roll things back to the 1950s, but the 1970s would be nice. Trump's promise to 'make America great again' resonates here.
The question is about the size of this group. How many of their wives have been peeled away to support Clinton? How many of them will buy into the consequences of the rigged system they perceive and stay home on election day?
Trump has fanned the flames with his bashing of the North American Free Trade Agreement and other international deals. He says America is being taken advantage of by shrewd foreign negotiators. Looking at the closed plants in Flint, Michigan; Bethlehem, Pennsylvania; Youngstown, Ohio; or Birmingham, Alabama, these Trump backers just nod in agreement. They too see themselves as victims. The image of a firm leader who vows to enact nationalist and populist solutions is attractive. They believe a Putin-esque strong man would set things right. And on the morning of 9 November they'll awaken to a nation led by a woman with a huge collection of political baggage who makes for a believable beneficiary of a rigged system.
Amid the instant punditry after the final debate, there was talk of Trump setting up his own television network after the election to institutionalise this victimisation world-view. There was even discussion that the effort to delegitimise the election process is really a plot by Russia to give America a dose of the same medicine it was forced to take in Eastern Europe and the Baltic States. The idea of Russian election observers is guaranteed to play poorly in the US, but may resonate better overseas, where Trump may still look more like a viable candidate than he does at home.
American democracy may be messy but it's seldom dull.

International Money Express, Inc. Delivers Record Sales Over Mother's Day Weekend
MIAMI (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – International Money Express, Inc. (NASDAQ: IMXI) ("Intermex" or the "Company"), a leading money remittance services company focused primarily on the Latin America and Caribbean corridor, announced today that it set an all-time high for one-day sales on May 9, eclipsing the previous high in May of 2019 by 16%. May 9 also marked the single highest sales day for Intermex remittances from the US to Mexico, the single largest money transfer corridor in the world. Additionally, online sales in April grew 183%, building on the strong growth delivered in Q1.
"We are enormously proud of the dedication and performance of the Intermex Team, who have demonstrated resilience and ingenuity to help our customers deliver money from the U.S. and Canada to their families in 23 countries across Latin America, Africa and Asia despite the COVID-19 pandemic," commented CEO and Chairman Bob Lisy.
"Our ability to deliver exceptional Intermex reliability and service quality while protecting our team members during this crisis is a testament to the talent and resolve of our team," stated Chief Operating Officer Joseph Aguilar.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Intermex observed April year over year declines in remittance volume of only 7%, far lower than the declines projected by others in the industry. Through the first half of May, sales volumes have continued to recover materially.
Mr. Lisy added, "This great performance is also a testament to the resiliency of our expansive but targeted retail network providing our essential service. Finally, it's an opportunity to thank our loyal customers, whose tireless and brave efforts in the essential services of agriculture, construction and other vital areas of the economy are helping the country through this crisis. The fact that consumers are drawn to the Intermex brand in greater numbers versus competitors in difficult times is not uncommon. It is a strong statement of the reliability and the value of our service. As states and localities have begun to reopen, we have opened over half of our 33 company-owned stores and will continue to do so in accordance with government guidance."

Disulfiram-like drug
A disulfiram-like drug is a drug that causes to alcohol leading to nausea, vomiting, flushing, dizziness, throbbing headache, chest and abdominal discomfort, and general hangover-like symptoms among others.[1][2] These effects are caused by accumulation of acetaldehyde, a major but toxic metabolite of alcohol formed by the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase.[1][2] The reaction has been variously termed a disulfiram-like reaction, alcohol intolerance, and acetaldehyde syndrome.[3]
Disulfiram, the prototypical drug of this class.
Class identifiers
Alcohol sensitizers; Alcohol-sensitizing agents; Alcohol-deterrent drugs; Acetaldehyde dehydrogenase inhibitors
Biological target
Acetaldehyde dehydrogenase, others
In Wikidata
The prototypical drug of this group is disulfiram (brand name Antabuse), which acts as an acetaldehyde dehydrogenase inhibitor, preventing the metabolism of acetaldehyde into acetic acid, and is used in the treatment of alcoholism.[1][2] A variety of other drugs cause disulfiram-like reactions upon consumption of alcohol as unintended drug interactions and side effects.[1][2] Many disulfiram-like drugs act as inhibitors of acetaldehyde dehydrogenase similarly to disulfiram. However, some do not act via inhibition of this enzyme, and instead act via other, poorly elucidated mechanisms.
Unlike acetaldehyde dehydrogenase inhibitors and other disulfiram-like drugs, alcohol dehydrogenase inhibitors such as fomepizole (brand name Antizol) inhibit the metabolism of alcohol into acetaldehyde, thereby increasing and extending the effects of alcohol and reducing its toxicity.[4] As such, they can be thought of as converses of disulfiram-like drugs.[4] Fomepizole is used medically as an antidote against methanol and ethylene glycol poisoning.[4]

My Boss Kept Breaking COVID-19 Rules. I Didn't Know What to Do.
Watching the bar fill up, I felt like I'd reached my breaking point. I knew I needed to do something, anything.
This is Eater Voices, where chefs, restaurateurs, writers, and industry insiders share their perspectives about the food world, tackling a range of topics through the lens of personal experience.
It was a Friday in August, about 9 p.m., and I was working one of my regular shifts as a line cook at a bar in Seattle's University District. The bar up the street had closed a half-hour before COVID-19 restrictions required it to, sending us a flood of customers. As they filed in, I felt completely overwhelmed. A couple of months earlier there had been a coronavirus outbreak in the nearby University of Washington's Greek system. A lot of the customers coming into the bar now were wearing Greek-lettered shirts.
This wasn't the first time this had happened, but the day before I'd run out of gloves, and when I'd told my boss he just said it was too bad and shrugged it off. So watching the bar fill up, I felt like I'd reached my breaking point. I knew I needed to do something, anything.
But I had no idea what; nobody offered information about what to do if you, as a worker, need to tell on your workplace. Not King County, not the city of Seattle, not the state of Washington. I needed to tell someone, but carefully.
I felt guilty, because I knew that my boss was hurting — he and his wife have three children they're trying to send to college. Not having a reliable flow of customers had been really hard.
Still, I couldn't reconcile my desire for him to do well with my concern for my own safety, and the safety of diners in the bar. Everyone can make their own decisions about whether or not they want to go out, but as an employee, I knew firsthand how poorly managed the bar's sanitation was. When I'd run out of gloves the day before, it wasn't the first time, and running out of soap and paper towels had also been a recurring issue. And in the dining area, night after night, groups were being seated one after the other without the table being wiped down.
Meanwhile, my boss seemed very unconcerned with whether or not he would become infected with COVID-19. His goal every night was to get as many people as possible in the door, and he often said that he'd stay open later if he could. He also said it wasn't his business if people came in and wanted to have a good time. If all the tables were seated, he encouraged people at the door to wait for five or 10 more minutes. Our seating capacity was around 50 (and COVID restrictions halved that), but a lot of people would just crowd around, so often there would be 60 or more in the bar at a time, in very close proximity to each other. At the tables, which were limited to five seats, there were parties of six, seven, or eight. It was infuriating to see so many people drinking, yelling over the noise and loud music, eating and sharing finger foods, while I thought, "Oh my God, this is not okay."
I had started working at the bar in June, three months after I'd lost my previous job as a host at another restaurant. I needed money, and so many people had told me what a mess it was to get unemployment; I had industry friends who waited three months to get paid. I only have a couple years of experience, so it was kind of a miracle when the bar's owner wanted to hire me. I was surprised, but then I realized that he hired someone he could pay a low rate. He couldn't afford to pay somebody with 10 or 20 years of experience what they deserve.
I felt very low in the bar's hierarchy, and I believed that I should just shut up and be grateful to have a job in pandemic times. It seemed out of place to be stern about my needs. There is an order to the way that things are done: who can speak, who can make changes, who makes certain decisions. I put the hours in, but I still didn't feel as though I had any right to speak up to the boss.
Still, I expressed my concern to him when I realized there were no gloves. He'd never provided them when he trained me, and I'd previously worked with chefs who didn't wear them. I figured, surely, in light of the pandemic and safety and hygiene issues, that everybody would be wearing gloves and washing their hands a lot. But my boss didn't wear gloves at all. And when I asked for them, I could tell it was a confusing request for him. "Why do you need so many gloves?" he asked. "Why are you going through them so quickly?"
He gave me a box that he had, but I went through them pretty fast. I had to be sparing with how I used them, and that didn't make me feel particularly good. I was freaking out. I was very concerned for my health, but also about my job. I felt conflicted as an employee who was witnessing and working in unsafe conditions, but who also desperately needed to keep her job. I didn't want to be responsible for shutting down my workplace altogether, because that's a lot of pressure, and I felt horrible for snitching because that's not a good look for anyone. And because I was the only employee, aside from the bar back who had been working for my boss for 30 years, I was really anxious about anonymity.
I felt conflicted as an employee who was witnessing and working in unsafe conditions, but who also desperately needed to keep her job.
So I looked for some kind of anonymous complaint phone number, website, or email address to air my grievances with somebody who would then have the authority to come and do something. I went to the OSHA website, scrolled for a few minutes, and just panicked. I needed an actual human person to tell me what to do, to talk to someone whom I felt I could trust to not get me or my job in trouble.
If there were somebody else working there with me, maybe it would have been different. We would have had more power in that situation, and the ability to organize with coworkers. Being able to withhold our labor until we got what we needed, even if it was a freaking stupid box of gloves, would have been huge.
I ended up filing an anonymous complaint with the county health department's online form. They asked for a name and contact information, but I didn't fill them in. I wrote it as if I were a customer at the restaurant: "Today I came in and this and this happened, I observed this many people sitting and this kind of behavior."
I'm not sure if anybody from the health department actually showed up. Normally, my boss would call each day I was scheduled to tell me when to come in, but the week after I filed the complaint, I mysteriously wasn't called to come in at all.
Thankfully, a good friend who was opening a restaurant asked me the following week if I wanted to work for him. So I quit and took the job. His restaurant is doing takeout only, and I do mostly prep work. The kitchen is pristine. It's been such a relief working there.
I drive by my old job often. Some evenings that I expect them to be open, they're not. Other random times in the middle of the week, there are tons of people inside. I got lucky: Had it not been for my friend, I would still be working there. I'm independent; I need to pay my rent. I have nothing else.
To anyone in a similar situation, I would say to do research. Check your county, city, or state guidelines so that you can specifically point out which rules and regulations a business is violating. If you know somebody who you think can help, you need to reach out to them. Health department websites should be able to accommodate these kinds of issues.
Many of us in the industry were at some point taught to keep our heads down and defer to the authority of chefs, managers, and owners; there is a huge problem with workers not feeling like they have the authority to stand up to their bosses. In the time of COVID-19, however, there has to be a clear and efficient way for us to speak up and report problems when we see them happen. After all, if we're responsible for serving the public, then whether we like it or not, we're implicated in the protection of the public's health and safety.

Digging up Bob Dylan's Minnesota roots exposes an icy truth
Travel: On the Road in Minnesota If you want to understand the story of a man named Zimmerman, visiting the northern town of Hibbing, Minnesota offers stone cold insights into the emotional desolation and snowy emptiness that shaped the Nobelaureate's inner space and artistic obsessions. By Rod Mickleburgh On a bleak, wintry weekend in November of 2014, my brother and I made a pilgrimage to "the north country fair, where the winds hit heavy on the borderline" in search of the roots of Bob Dylan. It was an unforgettable trip that richly increased my understanding of the mysterious forces that shaped a relatively ordinary teenager in the Minnesota town of Hibbing and helped turn him into the Shakespeare of our age. We set out Friday morning from my brother's home in Thunder Bay. Once across that "borderline," we travelled south along Highway 61 (Revisited). There was no sign of a promoter putting some bleachers out in the sun. We were soon in Duluth, where Dylan was ...

Remembering Michael Kesterton: An Oasis of Old-Fashioned Civility
Tribute: Michael Kesterton Though he made his name in journalism with the collection of arcane facts that became the Globe's beloved Social Studies column, Rod Mickleburgh remembers the young, and somewhat awkward, Varsity staffer who shared a quirky sense of humour. By Rod Mickleburgh The unexpected can hit you in the solar plexus. Such was my feeling late December, when I received an email from a former colleague at the Globe and Mail giving me the sad news that the one-of-a-kind Michael Kesterton had died. He was best known to Globe readers as the genius behind the assemblage of arcane facts, news, trivia, miscellanea, humour and occasional bits of string that made up the paper's beloved daily feature, Social Studies, which ran for 23 years. In the midst of all the superb journalism and writing that filled the Globe in those days when I was on the paper (smile), many readers turned first to Social Studies.

Outrageous Fortune (film)
With apologies to the Big Business fan up-thread. This escalates until he leaves, and she burns down his house. Now having learnt that they were both seeing the same guy, Lauren and Sandy find themselves working together to try and track him down, travelling across America hot on his trail. She is a very fine comic actress though. Later business partner and husband of Loretta.

Outrageous Fortune (TV series)
The show concluded after 6 seasons and 107 episodes making it the longest running drama series made in New Zealand. Maybe she's not that hated in Hollywood because even I was surprised she was nominated. Refined actress Lauren Ames finally has a chance to study with the great theatre professor Stanislav Korzenowski. And whilst George Carlin is funny as Frank Madras the reservation resident they meet it's not really that memorable. But the women begin to believe that Michael has faked his death and form an alliance in order to find him and make him chose between them. Dolly was her triumph because it hits all her sweet spots - a little acting, a lot of singing.

And for me, Lily Tomlin's subtlety played much better than Bette's broadness. Wish we saw more of Shelley these days. Midler had previously starred in Touchstone's comedy-smash Ruthless People 1986 whereas Long had similarly starred in the hit-comedy Night Shift 1982. The West family, as well as Aurora, Eric and Munter go camping at Tutaekuri Bay, a magical place where they have gone camping every year at Christmas. In the movie, Shelley Long's character confesses at the beginning of the movie that she someday hopes to play Hamlet. The films include Big Business 1988 , Ruthless People 1986 , Outrageous Fortune 1987 and Down and Out in Beverly Hills 1986. That night, Danny DeVito called her and they both freaked out about how the movie would bomb and they would be back where they started.

I thought it had it's moments, but the concept was definitely far better than the execution. Cheryl's charges are dropped and she is devastated to learn about Judd, finally forgiving him in the season finale. Refined actress Lauren Ames finally has a chance to study with the great theatre professor Stanislav Korzenowski. What they don't know is that they are also sharing the same lover Michael Sanders that is until he fakes his own death and tries to disappear. I begged not to go and still can't shut up about what a night it was.
Outrageous Fortune (1987) English Movie
One of my oldest friends died this week, and this was one of our favorite movies when we were kids. Following the show's success, Outrageous Fortune received worldwide interest and in 2008 was adapted for United Kingdom television as and again in 2010 for United States residents as , neither of which were renewed after their debut seasons. She's very talented, and it seems her difficult reputation stems from her perfectionistic impulses. In what is really just a comedy these action moments stand out as do a couple of darker moments of humour such as the morgue scene where Sandy and Lauren realise it's not Michael they are looking at because the dead body's penis is too small. Ten-second promos started airing for the show on 14 June. Irreconcilable Differences got good reviews, and Outrageous Fortune and Money Pit both did decent box office.
Shelley Long and the crew were worried about the prat-fall with Long quickly rushing to her aid and pulling Midler to the curbside. The family relied on crime for an income, with Cheryl working at a stolen goods shop. A previous adaptation developed by , entitled Good Behavior, failed to be picked up for broadcast by any networks. I think Bette completely steals the movie from Lily Tomlin, unlike Outrageous Fortune, where both actresses hold their own against each other. They work surprisingly well together and whilst the comic timing may not always work the sparky banter does provide plenty of amusement especially as half the time it looks like Midler and Wrong were in battle to out do each other.
Pascalle starts to date Pakistani doctor Bruce, Van finds the love of his life Aurora and Loretta starts to date much older man Hayden. Sandy Brozinsky, a brash, loud actress, decides through happenstance to also study with Korzenowski. Archived from on 3 September 2009. The film was successful at the box office, and Midler was nominated for the for Best Actress — Motion Picture Musical or Comedy, and won an for Funniest Actress in a Motion Picture Leading Role. But Bette scored a surprise Oscar nomination -- must've been for her singing.
It was just called Stella, and Bette was unbelievably bad in this hokum. However, they picture themselves as these great dramatic actresses and that's usually when I find them lousy. Archived from on 19 July 2008. I've seen that on other films too. I couldn't wait to see it. But The Rose is schlock. I love the soundtrack and the movie.

Built by 1990, and encompassing design inspirations from nature, the surrounding oil palm trees, natural mangroves and forests, all make up the spectacular backdrop for the three golf courses in this resort.
The courses were designed by Akira Mamiya and Max Wexler, who are both known for incorporating nature elements and local vegetation, evident in the many types of fruit trees that can be found throughout the courses.
The surroundings of this course are the palm trees from the nearby plantation, and retains much of the natural forest as much as possible while still providing golfers with equally intriguing play on the green.
Players here can spot various fruit trees including durian trees as the area of the course was once a fruit orchard. Nighttime golfing is also available for this course.
Lending some inspiration of the land's heritage and history where its said the Acehnese once had their settlements and villages here, designer Akira Mamiya kept the influences of the Acehnese by retaining waterways in the design with lakes, hills and valleys in this course.
The land was also part of an oil palm plantation and palm trees were kept to gel with the overall design of the course.
Also designed by Akira Mamiya, this course draws inspiration from the coastline and scenes of the straits of Johor.
The most challenging features of this course is nature itself as the course demands more skill and strategy from the golfer around tricky tee boxes, mangrove swamps and unpredictable winds which can greatly affect a golfers game.
A two-storey 52 bay facility located next to resort clubhouse is a sure way to practice that swing. And if golfers need to fine tune their putt, they can do so at the practice green too. For aspiring players lessons with a coach are available for hire as well, so there's no excuse not to get swinging.

Six predictions for the future of retail
The rapid pace of change currently reshaping retail is expected to continue post-coronavirus, but in what way? Here's what to expect in 2021, 2025 and 2030
Rosalyn Page
The coronavirus pandemic has accelerated future retail trends as many businesses rapidly adopt new services and technologies. Small businesses have been forced to develop digital platforms, in-store payments have moved away from cash and orders delivered by drones no longer seem worlds away. So what will shopping look like in 2021, 2025 and 2030?
1. Return of physical stores
"We will experience our own version of the Roaring 20s," says Natalie Berg, retail analyst and founder of NBK Retail. While the coronavirus crisis has shuttered many high street stores and seen retailers and consumers flock to ecommerce, physical stores will be the focus again, but with a new emphasis, by late-2021. "We're all craving to go into a store again," says Berg.
While COVID-19 has undoubtedly accelerated the rise of ecommerce, there will always be a place for bricks-and-mortar retailing. However, Berg warns that mediocre 2020 players won't survive the pandemic and are unlikely to return as traditional retailers.
"There will be fewer, but far better stores," she predicts. The stores that thrive will need to tap into emotion, human connection, discovery and community. "Bricks-and-mortar retail will become a high-touch, sensory-driven experience," she says. "There's an opportunity for retailers to start innovating with the physical space again."
Berg also says physical stores will need to become frictionless in more ways than one. This includes contactless payments, reducing physical touchpoints, and expanding and simplifying click and collect. "So, more convenient by using technology to reduce friction in-store and making it easier and quicker for customers to get in and get out," she says.
2. Personalised offers
One of the key future retail trends, personalisation engines will become more sophisticated by the end of 2021. Data that feeds into personalisation will hone the ability for retailers to suggest offers and content to consumers right at the moment of consideration.
"In the old days, people visited local shopkeepers who knew them by name and could predict their needs based on what they wanted through a personal relationship," says Riyadh Bhyat, head of Quantium in Europe, Middle East and Africa.
Bhyat says in 2020 some retailers are recreating that experience at scale using data-driven algorithms taking in hundreds of factors to drive hyper-personalised offers and service for national retailers. "2021 will point to the future when retailers will do your shopping for you," he says.
"When you opt in as a customer, they'll predict your needs and deliver them, thereby minimising search time. In fashion, this will extend to selecting items that perfectly fit you, based on the body scans you've shared."
By late-2021, data will be integral to the way businesses hear the voice of consumers and understand customer expectations. "It allows them to engage the people they serve not as demographics or segments, but as individuals and at scale. Whoever does this best over the next decade in any given market will undoubtedly win," says Bhyat.
3. Blended retail experience
The 2020s will be a decade of disruption; COVID-19 was just the curtain opener. In 2025, we'll still be experiencing the tail end of the pandemic in terms of its impact. "Hybrid working models, reduced business travel, commercial buildings at lower occupancy and discretionary spending will remain cautious," says futurist Dr Richard Hames. Future retail trends will see "retail theatre" develop at this time.
By mid-decade, the conventional retail model of just hanging rows and rows of clothes on hangers and supplying a couple of changing rooms and a mirror will be on the way out. "A resurgence in shopping malls, offering a richer range of experiences by blending retail, music, dining and entertainment will take its place," says Hames.
Development of partnerships between different retailers, from hairdressers and spas to clothing retailers and office supplies, will see 'unlike' providers collaborate as part of a blended retail experience.
Midway in the decade will also be an inflection point in ecommerce, according to retail analyst Berg. As the decade started, ecommerce was focused on reducing friction and aiming for a seamless experience, but it will move to being more engaging and immersive. Traditional retailers and online retailers will transition towards a convergence point. "Consumers have come to expect fast and free delivery and returns, and then post-COVID; it's about immersion and discovery," says Berg.
4. Customer expectations rule
In 2025, more retailers will tap into local communities, developing hyper-personalisation and hyper-localisation to attract consumers with suitable offers. The trend towards hyper-personalisation could see more retailers deliver a "white glove" service in a digital way to meet rising customer expectations.
"In lockdown, retailers have recognised the need to connect online consumers with in-store staff and this will become more of an opportunity to differentiate and develop customer loyalty through superior service," says Berg.
Future retail trends will see stores evolve and follow the example of Starbucks and Nike to play three roles. These are as a transactional hub for immediate consumption, as an experiential venue and as a showroom to communicate about the brand and support online sales as ecommerce fulfilment points, according to Kanaiya Parekh, expert retail partner at Bain & Company.
Parekh predicts new digital solutions will enable retailers to meet rising customer expectations. Devices such as facial scanners will analyse skin to suggest personalised care based on individual needs and prior experiences. Virtual reality will enable customers to browse, interact with and read information about products in a virtual environment.
"Digital kiosks, powered by artificial intelligence (AI), at fast food restaurants, equipped with automated facial recognition, will let customers navigate the menu, self-order and use contactless payment," says Parekh.
5. Smart supply chains
Smart supply chains applying AI to predict demand and calculate supply will result in a direct benefit to the environment by 2030. "Stores used to be run by people who would gauge how much of each product they needed. Today there are deeply integrated systems managing stock replenishment, but these systems result in huge amounts of waste. Mountains of food and clothing get destroyed each year due to the difficulty of predicting what customers will want and when," says Quantium's Bhyat.
"In 2030, entire value chains will be aligned to accurate predictive models of consumer needs," he says. Bhyat predicts retailers will gravitate to suppliers with value chains more responsive to consumer behaviour. "They will seek to collaborate with more progressive suppliers and potentially look to integrate supplier and customer AI capabilities," he says.
"This kind of AI-to-AI integration will result in automated supplier-customer sales negotiations in closed business-to-business digital marketplaces and upstream integration with suppliers of raw materials and financing solutions."
Instead of mountains of waste, data and AI will predict stock requirements, thereby limiting wastage and reducing the impact on the environment. And by 2030, retail in developed markets will have environmental issues embedded in it. "Customers will be able to understand and offset the carbon emissions of their retail spending through their bank," says Bhyat.
6. Seamless shopping
Consumers will have seamless shopping experiences through social platforms in 2030, shrinking waiting time for customer service queries with smart chatbots and bringing highly personalised experiences through user-generated content.
Prompted by COVID-19 a decade earlier, which helped propel online retail towards true omnichannel social commerce, discrete sales channels will have dissolved. Highly immersive retail experiences will be provided by virtual and augmented reality. "In 2030, sales channels will include virtual reality and fulfilment will include drone delivery," says Bhyat.
Brands will enable customers to move from offline to online, while providing a personalised experience. "Social commerce can combine the personal touch consumers used to find in a store with the convenience of an online purchase," says Luis Baena, principal at Oliver Wyman.
"Consumers are increasingly using social media to engage with brands across the entire customer journey, from discovering new brands and products to writing reviews, comments and feedback."
When it comes to the effect on future retail trends of social commerce, it will be a leveller between large brands and challenger brands. "Social commerce will increasingly become a powerful tool for small brands to access their well-targeted customer segments and make them able to compete with large brands," says Baena.

Hi everyone, I'm super new to RW and I'm still trying to figure out if this is the right tool for me. I'm currently looking forward to buy the Foundry stack to make my Websites. I already saw at some other stacks that they were limited to the Domain they are used with. Is this the same for Foundry? At the Purchase page of the Alloy stack I saw that I can use it on unlimited Domains, but they are happy about a 10$ Donation for any Additional Side. Is this the same for Foundry or is it limited to a certain number of Websites or can I use it for an unlimited number of Websites? I also wasn't ably to find any information about the License of Foundry. Is there a way to read them before you buy the stack?
I already saw at some other stacks that they were limited to the Domain they are used with. Is this the same for Foundry?
Foundry is not limited in the number of sites you can build with it. Build until your heart is content.
Purchase page of the Alloy stack I saw that I can use it on unlimited Domains, but they are happy about a 10$ Donation for any Additional Side.
The donation for my Alloy stack is completely optional at this time. You can build as many blogs as you like with Alloy as well, and is not limited to one domain.
I also wasn't ably to find any information about the License of Foundry. Is there a way to read them before you buy the stack?
What do you want to know specifically?
Thanks for the Answer @elixirgraphics. That sounds super Awesome I think you sold me on Foundry. I think because you told me that I can build as many Websites as I want that this also doesn't limit the Websites to me as a Person? I can use this for client work as well, as long as the client don't want to use a version of Foundry in their RW software. Is this right?
You can use it as much as you want but you cannot give it to clients. You would have to buy a copy of the software for the client if they need to use it.
Not a problem. Glad to help out.


*demand pull inflation occurs when prices of goods and services rises because of high demand. If demand of goods and services in an economy, the government will tend to increase tax on the products of which will lead to an increase of prices.
a developing economy: people are paid quiet well paid compared to other under developed countries, so they will try to spend a lot on their money trying to buy more of what they need in this way demand of goods or services will increase which will lead to an increase in price too.
Government purchase: when the government decides to concentrate on the purchasing of medical instruments like scanners; surgery instruments more foreign doctors this will increase prices of those new purchase.
Creation of more money in an economy or making more notes: the presence of much money than goods available this will increase or will make the prices going up because there is more money than the availability of goods.
*cost-pull inflation: cost pull inflation is a situation where prices increase due to an increase of raw materials such as wood, land cost, machineries…etc. when these materials which they use to produce finished good increase in price finished goods are going to increase in price too.
* when a government decides to print more money than they are actually earning there will be presence of money in the pockets of citizens and this will cause the increase of prices of good and services. Since there is more money than goods; goods will increase the price anyhow at anytime.
