Why Everlast
Everlast Fund informs: September 15: Ethereum Merge.
The date is fixed
The long-awaited switch from Proof of Work (PoW) to Proof of Stake (PoS) is finally set to take place: After several postponements of the date and a successful test run in early August, the long-awaited merge is finally set to take place on September 15. Only one day after the successful test run, the date for the final merge was set. With the final upgrade called Paris, the current proof-of-work blockchain (PoW) will finally become a PoS blockchain. Investors reacted positively, causing the ETH price to rally. Ethereum has also gained in sympathy, because in view of constantly rising energy prices, the high energy demand for mining is a thorn in the side of many, which dulls the desire for investments. PoS can of course clearly score points here with its over 99 percent lower energy consumption. However, the merge will also make new functions available on the blockchain, which will probably ensure a further increase in attractiveness.
Two-track?
The operational implementation is still unclear, a hard fork of the Ethereum blockchain into a PoS and a PoW variant is conceivable. That's where it worked in 2017 when Bitcoin was forked into Bitcoin Cash. In this case, Ether coins under the existing token ETH would be the new version and, in addition, ETHPOW coins in the corresponding amount would go into investors' wallets. In this case, the sale of the new tokens would definitely be an interesting source of income. According to "BTC-ECHO", however, this would only be possible if the Ether coins are stored in a non-custodial wallet during the merge. In addition, various updates are expected to strengthen the network after the successful merge.
Other profiteers
The liquid staking industry could benefit as well, according to BTC Echo: They allow users to stake Ethereum without their own node. Thus, one could deposit ETH into a DeFi protocol and receive tokens from the corresponding provider in exchange at a ratio of 1:1. With this comes the entitlement to staked tokens and one receives automatic rewards. Liquid Staking companies retain a portion of these rewards – after the merge, it can be assumed that the profit potential for investors will increase.
But what if you are skeptical? There are enough risks that could lead to failure. This is where hedging can pay off: Establishing or holding a long position on ETH coins and in the same breath taking a short position on Ethereum futures. In this case, you are on the winning side both when prices are rising and falling. Alternatively, it is worth betting on another horse: Stablecoins. And if the ETH price falls after the merge, one can buy the dip and then hodln to profit from the long-term potential of the switch, which is undoubtedly given. Because the PoS variant is simply too promising for failure.

A Registry Services Evaluation Policy (RSEP) request was submitted by Bayerische Motoren Werke Aktiengesellschaft to allow the release of country and territory names for .BMW and .MINI top-level domains (TLDs).
The RSEP proposal was posted on the RSEP webpage for public information and can be found here. Currently, the .BMW and .MINI Registry Agreements require country and territory names contained in specific internationally recognized lists to be withheld from registration or allocated to the registry operator at all levels.
As required by the RSEP, ICANN has undertaken a preliminary determination on whether the RSEP proposal might raise significant competition, security or stability issues. ICANN's preliminary review (based on the information provided) did not identify any such issues.
Following ICANN's preliminary determination that the proposal does not raise significant competition, security or stability issues, it was further determined that the change would require a material change to the registry operator's Registry Agreement and that an amendment is needed in order to effect the change.
The proposed amendments, which are being posted for comment, would allow the registration of country and territory names at all levels in .BMW and .MINI TLDs. It should be noted that as of 2 October 2014, Specification 13 has been granted for both .BMW and .MINI meaning that both TLDs have .BRAND TLD provisions in place.

Moonchild with Kiefer
Saturday 11/9
21 and over only
VIP Package:
1 GA ticket; Early entry into the venue; Exclusive Q&A session with Moonchild; Personal photo with Moonchild; Collectible B-sides poster; signed by Moonchild (limited print); Exclusive VIP merch item; Meet & greet laminate; Limited Availability
Moonchild Biography:
Moonchild is a combination of three multi instrumentalists - Amber Navran [vocals, tenor saxophone, flute, keyboards, synth bass, drum programming], Andris Mattson [trumpet, flugelhorn, keyboards, synth bass, guitar, drum programming], and Max Bryk [alto saxophone, clarinet, keyboards, synth bass, drum programming]. The resulting union yields an ever-evolving fusion of alternative R&B, jazz, and neo-soul. They all participate equally in writing, producing, tracking, and mixing their records, keeping the spirit of collaboration alive as they grow and transform as one.
"Our chemistry as writers was pretty instantaneous from the start," explains Andris. "The first tune we came up with, we all sat on a piano bench together and wrote as a unit. Nowadays, each of us has our own studio setup and are constantly making beats and writing songs on our own. We'll often send each other emails of beats we made and then get together to expand them into full songs. We have so much trust in each other during the writing process."
As Moonchild, the whole becomes greater than the sum of its parts—never more so than on their fourth full-length, Little Ghost.After that first shared piano bench session at the University of Southern California, the group unveiled their debut Be Free in 2012. Please Rewind followed three years later, and 2017's Voyager saw them ascend to new critical peaks. NPR Music touted the record among, "Five R&B Albums You Slept On In 2017," and JAZZ FM named them "Soul Act of the Year" for 2018. "Cure" toppled 8 million Spotify streams, and "The List" exceeded 7 million plays on Youtube.
Along the way, the trio performed headline shows everywhere from the United States and Europe to Asia, and supported other tours for the likes of The Internet, Kamasi Washington, and more. As they began writing and recording Little Ghost in 2018, they continued to seek out new sounds and textures. While laying down tracks at Lake Arrowhead, Andris dove further into the guitar, incorporating it at the core of the new music."The three of us are always experimenting with new programs and gear and trying to improve our craft individually," he goes on. "I've been so into guitar, so that's a big shift from previous Moonchild albums. The acoustic and ukulele really expanded our sound. The keyboard-driven sounds and horns are still there, but they're intertwined with guitar."
"The evolution connects to the title," adds Amber. "At the end of a star's life, the gas expands into space and leaves a really beautiful nebula, and there is one up there called Little Ghost. We thought it was a cool concept of expansion, mirroring what we were doing as a group."
The first single "Too Much To Ask" illuminates that expansion. Andris pairs an electric piano patch with the guitar and ukulele over a skittering groove as Amber's raspy delivery rolls from a near-whisper to a soulful swoon."It's about realizing you're in a relationship with someone who's halfway out the door – who doesn't care like you do," she says. "Often you come to that realization one hint at a time, with the all little things they don't do."Eliciting a raucous reaction by playing horns together live, the band "incorporated more horns than ever before," according to Max. Not only do horn solos blare and bounce through "Money" and "Come Over," but they kickstart the momentum on the opener "Wise Women" where jazz-y shakers and hi-hats give way to a breathy clarion call for female empowerment as Amber sings, "Go on and prove them wrong."
"'Wise Women' is just about making things happen for yourself and not waiting for opportunities to come to you," she elaborates.Ukulele and piano converge for a dreamy dynamic on "The Other Side," while everything concludes on the sweeping string outro of "Still Wonder." It serves as a cinematic send-off befitting of the 14-track journey."Writing together is ultimately therapeutic," Amber leaves off. "I hope we give listeners something they can relate to and find comfort in. It's what music does for us."
"We were obsessed with crafting this record," concludes Max. "It got us really excited every day. Maybe it can inspire others to pursue their own art or anything that makes them feel good."

Featuring a heavy duty all steel frame, this bench is full of durable features and a functional design. You can hang all your tools neatly on the pegboard backing and the shelf tray at the top is the ideal storage space for aerosol cans and cleaning products. Small tools and hardware will be kept organized in the three utility drawers under the work surface. This drawer rolls smoothly on ball bearing glides. Some simple assembly is required with this workbench.
6 ft. Park Bench The 68 Gal. Steel Recycling Station features a heavy-duty construction that resists wear and tear from being outdoors. This heavy-duty receptacle comes fully assembled and ready to install. The steel components receive corrosion protection from a Zinc Rich Primer. The Primer is applied as an Epoxy Powder Coat after the metal components are sandblasted. This is followed by a durable Polyester Powder Finish Top Coat. Both coatings are electrostatically applied and then thermally cured creating a premium look. Backed by a 3-year warranty, this unit is built to last.
6 ft. Park Bench is rated 4.3 out of 5 by 8.
Rated 5 out of 5 by rich from very nice bench for a park setting. sturdy,weather resistant and nice lines. very nice bench for a park setting. sturdy,weather resistant and nice lines.
Rated 4 out of 5 by Morganne from Okay.... Okay.
Rated 2 out of 5 by Hal from The bench seat was missing from the box and I... The bench seat was missing from the box and I am still waiting for the missing part.
Rated 4 out of 5 by rfindley from Durable bench Neighborhood HOA bought this for playground seating. Strong, durable, smooth powder coating, and long enough to accommodate multiple adults. It was easy to assemble (30 minutes start to finish) and it came with bolts to secure it to concrete footings. The only gripe we have are the metal vertical back pieces are open on top and the plastic caps that set down inside do not stay put and fall out. Didn't want wasps to move in or rain to run inside and rust out so used epoxy compound to glue in place. Not sure it that will be a permanent solution. Took away 1 star for plastic cap issue.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Mary from Just what we needed for our entryway!!! We purchased this bench to place inside the entry way of our Child Care facility. One feature we really like was the ability to secure it to the floor.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Baz from Very sturdy nice looking bench It seems to be very sturdy and well made. It goes together very easily with just a screwdriver and a wrench. They even give you a screw driver bit to fit the bolts. Another thing I like is that they give you an extra item of all the bolts, nuts and washers. They recommend that you have help putting it together because it is heavy, but if you are careful you can put it together on your own like I did. Nice product. It is heavy but that is a good thing because it means it is made of more substantial materials.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Spring from Great park bench I absolutely love this park bench. It is very sturdy and looks great as an addition to my front yard. Love the size of it!

Telemundo Launches DECISIÓN 2020, Largest Multiplatform Political News Coverage and Civic Engagement Initiative To-Date
febrero 18, 2020 Telemundo Launches DECISIÓN 2020, Largest Multiplatform Political News Coverage and Civic Engagement Initiative To-Date2020-02-18T09:26:00+00:00 Nevada
MIAMI, Feb. 18, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — As Presidential candidates, their campaigns and voters turn their attention to Nevada, the first primary state with a significant percentage of Latino voters, NBCUniversal Telemundo Enterprises, the leading media company serving Latinos in the United States and Puerto Rico, today announced the launch of DECISIÓN 2020, a national, year-long multi-platform news and civic engagement initiative that will span across Telemundo's national network and local stations. DECISIÓN 2020 will deliver comprehensive multi-platform election news and campaign coverage to audiences across the country all year long, and a series of in-depth polls focused on the robust Latino electorate in the U.S. and key political markets. With nearly one million Latinos turning 18 years old this year, DECISIÓN 2020 will also roll out several digital shows in English and Spanish to inform and connect with young Latino voters. In addition, Telemundo's multiplatform initiative will feature multiple voter registration events with national and local partner organizations across key Latino markets to help engage an expected 32 million Latinos who will be eligible to vote in November.

DECISIÓN 2020 kicks off with an exclusive «Telemundo Poll: State of the Latino Vote in Nevada,» which precedes Noticias Telemundo's exclusive Spanish-language coverage of the February 19 Las Vegas Democratic presidential debate hosted by NBC News and MSNBC with The Nevada Independent, and co-moderated by Noticias Telemundo's national correspondent Vanessa Hauc.
«Decision 2020 is a manifestation of our long-standing commitment to provide our community objective information and the necessary resources to participate in the electoral process,» said Cesar Conde, Chairman, NBCUniversal Telemundo Enterprises and NBCUniversal International Group. «Telemundo is uniquely positioned to inform and engage this vibrant and growing community as we head into one of the most important elections in our country. As the largest ethnic group eligible to vote in November with 32 million ballots, Latinos have the opportunity to shape the future of America for decades to come.»
«Local TV stations are the places where people go to get their questions answered and their issues addressed. For many Spanish-speakers, our Telemundo stations are the only places in their communities they can trust. We take this responsibility very seriously. We are proud to continue our decades-long commitment of delivering the news and information our viewers need to understand our electoral process and how they can exercise their right to vote on November 3,» added Manuel Martinez, President, Telemundo Station Group.
DECISIÓN 2020 campaign is rooted in the profound impact Latinos will have on the 2020 Presidential Elections as they become, for the first time, the largest racial or ethnic group eligible to vote accounting for a projected 13% of the American electorate. Following a historic voter turnout in the 2018 midterm elections, Latino voters are largely comprised by the coveted younger demographic, with the highest percentage of Latino voters concentrated in six states including New Mexico, California, Texas, Arizona, Florida and Nevada.
TELEMUNDO'S DECISIÓN 2020 includes:
Telemundo Local and National Polls
Following last year's national poll «State of the Latino Vote,» and multiple regional polls since 2018 that focused in California, Florida, Texas, and other key states, Telemundo today revealed the results of its new poll «State of the Latino Vote in Nevada,» the first in a series of local and nationwide polls that will focus on the Latino electorate ahead of Election Day.
Telemundo Poll: «State of the Latino Vote in Nevada« key findings:
Democratic Candidates:
Democratic candidates Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders are in a virtual tie for Nevada's Latino vote.
This narrow margin could be detrimental to Biden, who will need a much higher level of support from Latinos to become the Democratic party's presidential nominee.
Trump Re-Election: 64% of likely Latino voters in Clark County and 71% of female likely Latino voters statewide are ready to vote Trump out of office.
2020 Census: Respondents are united around the importance of being counted in the upcoming census: 93% of those polled said they'll participate in the decennial Census.
Economy: Overwhelming number of respondents feel better or the same about the state of our economy since President Trump took office in 2016.
Latino Issues: Almost a quarter of the population surveyed, regardless of party, think that President Trump is paying more attention to the issues that affect the Latino community than all other candidates, with the exception of Bernie Sanders.
Expanded Multiplatform National and Local News Coverage
New national half-hour Weekday Newscast at 11:35pm: Noticias Telemundo continues to expand its news coverage with the launch in mid-2020 of a new half-hour weekday newscast at 11:35pm, adding 130 hours of news content per year and providing an additional platform for comprehensive national news coverage about the candidates, the campaigns and the issues that matter to Latinos. The new newscast builds upon last year's launch of Noticiero Mediodia; Planeta Tierra, the only unit in Spanish-language TV devoted to environmental journalism, and a new investigative unit Telemundo Investiga, coupled with the addition of first-ever partnerships with fact-checking organizations PolitiFact and Animal Politico.
Nevada Democratic Primary Debate: Spanish-language viewers can watch the Nevada Democratic primary debate on February 19 live in Spanish exclusively on Telemundo's cable channel Universo and via the Noticias Telemundo mobile app and Facebook page. This historic debate includes Noticias Telemundo's Vanessa Hauc as a moderator alongside NBC News' Lester Holt, Chuck Todd and Hallie Jackson, and Jon Ralston of The Nevada Independent.
Super Tuesday Coverage: Up-to-the-minute coverage across Telemundo Noticias' platforms including a live, one-hour special featuring Super Tuesday primary results on March 3, as well as reports and analysis from Telemundo's team of correspondents across the country. Telemundo's local stations will deliver in-depth political coverage and commentary about their state's primary elections and results.
Telemundo Stations Local Multiplatform News Coverage:
On the heels of a significant increase in news coverage about local, statewide and federal-level political races, Telemundo's local stations will deliver even more in-depth political coverage and commentary about political races in their markets in 2020 through «Meet the Candidate» features that examine incumbents and candidates campaign platforms.
Telemundo stations' signature local Sunday public affairs «Enfoque» programs will also continue to serve as important opportunities for candidates vying for office in Los Angeles, New York, Miami, Dallas, McAllen, Orlando to connect with audiences and talk about their campaigns, with new Telemundo markets set to debut new local «Enfoque» shows in Philadelphia, Phoenix, Tampa, El Paso, Denver, and Boston soon.
On digital, Telemundo stations' newly redesigned web sites will serve as a simple-to-use tool for anyone who seeks to learn more about local candidates and races, primary election dates voter registration deadlines for their markets, as well as regional polling data, among other resources.
New Digital Shows for Young Latinx: Noticias Telemundo digital arm will provide audiences with real-time coverage of all key events affecting Hispanic voters – from economy, environment, and immigration to health and education – with dedicated multimedia journalists who will provide viewers with an informed Latino perspective on these topics.
RADAR2020: Decision 2020 will reach bilingual and English dominant Latinos with RADAR2020, a new English-language show on YouTube that covers the key stories influencing the election – for Latinos by Latinos. This show will provide important 2020 elections information to ambicultural audiences seeking Latino perspectives in bilingual formats.
#PolitiQUE: Building on its growing engagement across social platforms, Noticias Telemundo will additionally launch its social-first franchise, #PolitiQUÉ, a video series that explains key features and events of the electoral system in simple terms.
Las Cosas Como Son, an Instagram TV fact-checking video series together with PolitiFact.
U.S. Hispanics can easily be informed and engaged at all times about key topics affecting Latino voters, from immigration, to health and the economy, in all of Telemundo's digital platforms, including a newly redesigned noticiastelemundo.com and Decisión2020 website, Noticias Telemundo app, and social platforms on Twitter, YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook.
#USATuVoz: Under the umbrella of the company's award winning corporate social responsibility platform «El Poder en Ti,» Telemundo is inviting Latinos to participate in the electoral process with the new hashtag #USATuVoz (Use Your Voice).
Voter Registration Initiatives: In conjunction with Telemundo stations' local voter registration events, these activations will take place in key Latino markets across the country in partnership with nonpartisan national and local organizations.
Town Halls and Community Events: DECISIÓN 2020 will partner with local and national organizations including LULAC, UnidosUS, and NALEO, among many others, to hold town halls and community events.

Hyundai i20 1.0GDI IMT review
Hatching hotness
₹1150000

As a land obsessed with hatchbacks for three decades, it takes a special kind of understanding to crack the difficult Indian market.
With millennials wanting to talk to their cars more than driving them, it also puts manufacturers in a tricky position of juggling value with performance and technology. But, that is precisely what Hyundai's expertise has been in ever since it entered the hatchback space with the Getz. The third-gen i20 is a long way off from that humble transporter. Almost identical to the European spec i20, this is as current as the iPhone 12 and one look at it leaves no doubt about that. Sharp design with cuts, creases, the requisite amount of chrome and LED. Add a large glass area to not compromise on everyday practicality and you have the perfect recipe to take the great Indian hatchback story into its next chapter!
Loaded like level next
The radical changes on the exterior include actual growth in dimensions besides next-gen styling. A longer wheelbase and width has liberated more space on the inside and coupled with a low beltline and a quarter glass on the C-pillar means that there is plenty of room and light in the cabin of the new i20. Step inside and the steering wheel and 10.25in touchscreen with Bluelink plucked straight out of the Creta set the tone for a modern cabin. Look closer and you'll also see an all-digital instrument cluster with a rather basic monochrome MID in the middle of the speedometer and rev counter, but it's all very clearly presented and well laid out. There are loads of features to fill up the marketing ppt but the ones that really matter should be the air purifier with an AQI readout that also changes its LED colour from red to green, depending on the quality of air inside the cabin. A segment first is also the superb-sounding 7-speaker Bose audio system and although it lacks a centre channel speaker on the dashboard like on the Creta, it is well tuned and calibrated to sound large, spacious and with plenty of punch, thanks to the boot-mouned subwoofer. The amplifier for the system rests under the passenger seat and coupled with wireless Apple CarPlay and Androud Auto, the i20 can make light work of trafficated city commutes.
The seats are supportive with gentle bolstering but it does give seat ventilation a miss, with the aim to save some costs. My test car was the 1.0GDi Turbo petrol with iMT and as such, it's not offered with the some extras that you get on the Asta (O) package that's combined with the DCT gearbox. Hence, a sunroof and some driving safety nets like Vehicle Stability Control and Hill Assist Control get omitted on the iMT but everything else is almost identical. Rear parking sensors with a high-resolution camera is helpful, as is the cooled glovebox and the USB charging points both for the front and rear passengers. There's wireless charging also if you don't want to mess with wires and the 10.25in touchscreen handles all the functions swiftly. A unique and useful addition is the ability to connect two Bluetooth devices simultaneously to the infotainment system where one device could be used for phone calls and the other is used for music streaming. The system also gets OTA updates for maps via its built-in eSIM that comes with a bundled 3-year subscription which also includes SOS services in case of an emergencies. The Bluelink app is comprehensive and provides alerts and a handy visual representation of your cars vital parameters along with setting up geofence alerts, speed limits, real-time traffic and vehicle tracking and some basic voice commands for navigation and climate control. Simply put, all these features are still out of reach for most carsa segment above the i20.
Hot hatch?
A steering that adjusts for both rake and reach and a height adjustable driver seat hint at a car's intentions and the i20 certainly is being pitched at enthusiasts, at least in this turbo petrol guise. Generating a healthy 120bhp in an ultralight hatchback like this can yield more smiles per city miles than performance cars that need to be handled with care. The iMT adds to the engagement factor and the little 3-cyl engine is tuned for mid-range grunt that is addictive and even initial turbo lag is minimal and can be masked if you stay busy on the iMT. The advantage of an iMT here is that it will hold its revs until you change gears and the joy of a clutchless manual cannot be express enough in peak hour traffic as well. It likes to rev freely and even has a bite in its sound at the top of the rev range, egging you to stay in a lower gear and zip through traffic. It may not be a Polo GTi level of hot-hatch but it certainly is more than lukewarm! It's a fun car, aimed to make everyday commutes just a bit more exciting and it excels at doing that. Thankfully the ride hasn't been stiffened to an extent where it becomes uncomfortable to sit in and it absorbs bumps and potholes with ease, softening the blow inside the cabin. Even insulation is pretty good, letting the Bose audio system shine through with clarity and authority. There's also a hint of ambient lighting in select parts of the cabin but no sound mood-lighting like on the Kia Sonet.
The iMT's tendency to roll back on inclines takes some deft footwork though so if you're eyeing the i20 for a novice driver, the DCT might be a better transmission option to go with.
What really acts as a downer though is the cabin colour, which is a big expanse of black plastics without any break. Depending on the exterior colour variant, you do get copper or red coloured inserts on the AC vents but overall, the modern looking dash design is just lost in plain black, textured black, gloss dark grey and more black. Even the quality of some plastic bits is suspect and Hyundai may have cut some corners here to accommodate for more headline grabbing features. It's not a deal breaker though and once on the move, you may not even notice it but the i20 is clearly not as well-finished as the Polo TSi when it comes to quality of materials and fit/finish.
If you're looking for an absolute cutting-edge hatch in terms of both design and tech, the turbo-powered Hyundai i20 is it. It looks almost futuristic with its frameless grille, snazzy 16in alloy wheels and the Z-shaped tail-lights that make it unmistakable for anything else on the road. That adds to its street cred and on the inside it pampers you with goodies that are relevant, practical and indulgent at the same time. It's performance can't be termed as scintillating but is certainly more fun than premium hatches of the past at anywhere near its price point. It may not be the most affordable hatchback in its class, but Hyundai has thrown in enough value in terms of creature comforts to justify the price tag, if those kind of things matter to you. The fact that it's destined to be a sell-out is testimony to the the product team's selection of kit that is spread across the different variants. Choose wisely and you might just even call it a steal!
1.0L, 3cyl turbo petrol
120bhp, 172Nm
6-speed iMT
37lts
Stuff says...
The perfect city hatchback with just the right amount of power to be fun without being overwhelming. Loaded with usable tech but interior quality could be better.
Styling inside and out is eye catching
Bose audio system sounds fantastic
Great power delivery and decent handling
Bad Stuff
iMT doesn't get hill-hold assist
Two-tone dashboard would've been ideal
Some plastics don't feel high-quality

Five of us travelled from Barbados for a week so that we could experience good snorkelling and diving. Sadly it was lacking and the staff should have been more helpful. There was no diving being offered with the dive shop closed some years ago. The hotel speed boat was available but at a cost of 1000 US dollars per day.
Consequently the boat stayed attached to its mooring all week. There were kayaks and other water equipment available but the only hobie cat was broken and no attempt to have it fixed.
The hotel is beautifully situated on a sandy bay, and always a changing vista with sailing boats coming in to moore overnight, and use the hotel facilities.
We were in main season but only 22 guests when we arrived including ourselves which dwindled down to just the five of us on our last night with no other guests due in until the following weekend.
We had adjacent rooms on the ground floor, which were comfortable and clean but could do with a little updating (badly stained toilet) and no ceiling fan.
The main restaurant remained closed all week due to lack of guests. The Pirates bar was reasonable with not a lot of change in menu on the daily specials but a varied choice with a very Italian influence of pizzas and pastas.
The hotel staff were all excellent and are a credit to the hotel either on reception, beach or restaurant.
Just a shame it lacked atmosphere, and guests.
Disgusting customer service - don't visit this hotel!!!
Was due to stay at this hotel for a week in Feb / March - got stuck in Barbados with no available flights to St Vincent's/Canouan. My wife devasted and in tears she missed her much looked for holiday. Phoned hotel and booking.com to cancel, offered to pay night we missed but hotel insisted we pay $2000k for whole stay and no refund. My wife already upset was reduced to tears by their lack of understanding and sympathy.
Every room has a spectacular view of the pristine beach & turquoise Caribbean Sea. The Staff is super friendly & attentive - our Beach attendant Floyd had our towels & chairs ready every morning & was super helpful throughout our stay. The restaurant is spectacular - the Italian chef makes everything fresh daily, including all of the pasta & bread from scratch, and the ocean front setting is simply beautiful. We had one of our most relaxing stays ever!
We stayed here for a few days to celebrate Valentine's day. We were given a room on the lower level, which was great as it was simply a few steps to the beach. We were right behind the beach bar however, which I guess for some people would be great, but I found it much less private as there were always staff members going in and out of the back door of the bar hut. If we had stayed longer, I would have asked to be moved.
Anyways, the room was fine otherwise; very clean with a comfy bed, windows with louvers that had mosquito screens (necessary!) a small fridge, a ceiling fan (very noisy though!) and lots of drawer and closet space with a personal safe. On our last day, there was a horrible low frequency humming noise which seemed to be coming from the room next door. It was supremely annoying. We assumed it was that room's AC unit. We didn't need AC in our room during our stay due to the cool February temp's and nice breezes. I think that noise would have driven me mad if it was on for the duration of our stay.
The highlight of this hotel is the lovely, clean beach. The staff work diligently to keep the beach clean and tidy. The staff at this hotel are extremely friendly and helpful...all of them. As with all the islands in this country, expect to see stray dogs on the beach and elsewhere; they may come to see you looking for food. As it is with the majority of this country's strays (and there are thousands!), they are not aggressive, just hungry.
Drinks were good, albeit expensive. The food was hit or miss. It helps to understand that this island must import just about all the foodstuffs, so creating fresh tasty dishes is a bit of a challenge for any chef. Make sure you explain to the wait staff how you wish your food to be cooked...as Vincentians tend to overcook everything. For example, if you don't want your morning eggs hard and rubbery, just say so. If you don't want your tuna steaks to be cooked to shoe leather consistency, speak up! The menu is somewhat varied, leaning a bit towards the Italian influence which is not surprising given the ownership and management of this hotel. I would have preferred a bit more local produce; ie: breadfruit, plantain, sweet potatoes, etc. However, the fish and lobster (in season) are local and fresh. Other meats are mostly imported. We liked the Italian deli and we bought some really nice cold cuts, cheese and wine and had that for our lunches on some days.
All in all, a great stay and I would definitely return.


his swearing-in Thursday morning in Sacramento.
STATE SENATE | 7TH DISTRICT | Steve Glazer's new colleagues in the State Senate–especially those backed by labor–did not turn their backs or throw tomatoes as he was sworn-in Thursday morning by Gov. Jerry Brown. In fact, Glazer's first vote (an aye vote), a procedural bill involving the state budget, was followed by a hearty round of celebratory hoots and hollering from lawmakers.
Glazer's special election victory in the Seventh District last week over another Democrat Susan Bonilla was highlighted by acrimony from labor unions who strongly opposed the new senator's stance on transportation strikes. Although, Big Labor, still smarting from the bruising defeat, continued their rhetorical assault on Glazer even after Election Day, none of that ill-will was evident Tuesday on the senate floor.
Even though Glazer's tenure in the State Senate begins today, he won't have much time before pivoting towards another potentially hard-fought re-election campaign in 2016. That's because the May 19 special election was called to only fill out the remainder of Mark DeSaulnier's term following his election last November to Congress.

Glazer is a buffoon. Just like all the other political phonies and losers they are beholding to. Hooray for another elected dope.
Good deal, Senator Steve Glazer!
He'll have a hard time holding on to that seat in 2016.
Well the Corporate shill won and the consumer and middle class lost. That will change in Nov. 2016.
Just saw an awesome bumper sticker on the 580.
This is awesome; now I just need to find out where to get mine. Tag line–Senator Steve Glazer–for the next 13 years!
Love the fact that Glazer just voted this week to give Medi-Cal benefits to undocumented immigrants. Outstanding!
We all make mistakes, but he's a good guy anyway.
He also failed to vote on a bill that would have raised the minimum wage to 13 dollars by 2017. He took a walk-the cowards way out. Not a good guy in my book!
Glazer is a coward and a buffoon! Just like all the other political phonies and losers that are beholden to the corporations. Hooray for another elected dope that wants to screw the middle and lower class.
You get what you pay for, and the corporate elite definitely paid for Glazer. Revenge is sweet. Wait for 2016 when he should be defeated. I'm sure there will be many more votes, or not voting that will piss people off.
Glazer and Baker will be gone after 2016—–Good riddance!
According to a Pew Research Center poll released Thursday, 72% of Americans support allowing immigrants living in this country illegally to stay and be granted legal status.


text: | | DECEMBER 20191910 MOSTIN INDIA - 2019INSPIRING CEOsLemma Technologies is my first entrepreneurial venture, and I take pride to say that it's bootstrapped. I have been successful in growing this business right from the scratch. pDOOH was an alien concept in In-dia till Lemma made debut with its first campaign in January, 2019, which was also the very first pDOOH campaign in India. What inspired you to take-up entrepreneurship? Could you highlight on some of the challenges that you brushed and which helped you be who you are today?From a very young age, I was always interested in innovation and any opportunity that encouraged new ideas. I always yearned to do more and achieve greater success, both academically and professional-ly. I made this dream a reality with the establishment of Lemma. Most businesses are designed as a solution to an existing problem or an opportunity because of an emerging trend. I identified both an opportunity in the form of growing infrastructure through Digital India and Smart City mission, and served as a solu-tion to the lack of a standardized process in the space of DOOH. pDOOH is quite at its nascent stage in In-dia, but I realized that even at the global level, where the concept is far more mature, it still continues to be an unorganized and unstandardized segment with no connectivity to the standard digital ecosystem.Lemma was conceived to bridge this gap in the DOOH industry with a cloud-based programmatic ad exchange technology, at the onset of DOOH in In-dia, fostered by the booming infrastructure through smart cities initiative. However, being the first in any field has its own set of challenges. The case was no different for us! The major challenge was that DOOH was being too fragmented, with no common hard-ware and operating systems to connect this media to a programmatic ecosystem. This is where I took it on myself to develop products that not only converted any smart screen to a programmatic display unit, but also made them capable of rendering ads through in-tegration with our cloud base AdTech platform.Family is always the backbone of an entrepreneur's success, especially during the initial years when the entrepreneur finds it difficult to balance between the two. How do you go about it?Innovation is my passion and I spend most of my time with this only. Passion at work imbalances per-sonal and professional life. But I have some dedicated time slots for family and personal interest. I manage this by creating schedules and try to follow it always keeping my family informed about work schedule and changes if any, and prioritize tasks based on im-portance not on urgency. Are you engaged in mentoring?Not mentoring, but I do sponsor the edu-cation of underprivileged children from small towns of Maharashtra and other villages in India, ensuring they have better future in their growing years. Entrepreneurs are always pressed with time. How do you manage updating and upgrading yourself constantly?True! Hence, I use social media as a powerful tool to keep track of the industry updates. Apart from this, healthy discussion with my business partners have from the beginning helped Lemma stay ahead of the game, as each one of them have over 13+ years of rich experience within the digital industry before on-boarding as partners with Lemma. We also rely on data gathered through our proprietary analytics tool which gives us insights into audience behaviour and other relevant data gathered throughout IoT Beacons, Lat-long data and third-party tools. ?!?!?!?!From a very young age, I was always interested in innovation, and any opportunity that encouraged new ideas

The deck is the most important thing in your skateboard. It determines how you ride and what you are able to skate. Every other component of your skateboard is related to the deck itself. That is why we urge you to find the best skate deck for your needs and then look for other parts.
Modern decks have come along way from the old "fish" shaped boards from the past which were narrower and heavier and overall harder to use. Nearly all modern skate decks are made from 7-ply maple and they vary in width, concave and shape. Some board manufacturers have also started using carbon fiber in their decks as well.
Picking up the right width for your skateboard is usually the most important thing that you do when choosing a new board. Decks usually range from 7.5 to 10 inches in width and sometimes choosing the right size might be difficult to do. Before buying, you have to consider what kind of skateboarding you do the most. Are you more of a transition skater or a street skater?
Transition skating means riding up wave-like vertical walls or other obstacles and gather enough speed from one wall to another. As you progress, you can do more and more tricks on the edges or "lips" of the half-pipe and find new lines to skate. Sometimes the objective is to get enough speed to jump above the edges of the walls. This type of skateboarding is usually done in skateparks, pools, bowls and vert ramps. The best skate decks for this type of skateboarding are the ones with higher concave and more width.
As well as a wider deck, high speed transition skating also needs wider trucks for a more stable feel. So if you see yourself mostly skating transition (or just have bigger feet) a deck size of 8.38 inches will work the best.
Street skateboarding does not rely on skate parks, verts or pools. It is all about taking advantage of the architecture and urban landscape that you see around you. Handrails, benches, stairs, ledges, gaps… these are all things that you can take advantage of in your skating. Street skating leans more in the flat ground tricks than transition skating. This means that a quicker and smaller board should be better for more technical skating styles. The best skate deck size would usually be between 7.5 inches and 8.25 for this purpose.
A Jack-of-all-trades of decks is usually around 8.0 to 8.38 inches wide and it should work well in both Street and transition skating.
If you're just starting, get a board that is right in the middle. A width of 8.0 to 8.38 with a length of 32" is a great starting point.
In addition to differences in width, decks also very in length. Nearly all decks are around 31 inches to 33 inches. However, decks that are longer than that are usually around 8.5 inches or even wider.
Wheelbase means the distance between your front and rear wheels. A shorter wheelbase will be less stable and will have a smaller turning radius, whereas a longer wheelbase will have better stability but at the expense of a sharper turn. Increased stability is beneficial for transitional skating due to how it behaves at high speeds.
Street skating usually does not rely on stability as much. This is why a shorter and lighter board might help you do a flat ground tricks more easily.
The skate deck for you is what you feel confident with - and the best way to find your own preference is to try different things and see what you like.
Skateboard decks come in many shapes but the most well-known and widely used shape is called the "popsicle" shape. These have a symmetrically rounded nose and tail while keeping the sides straight. The only asymmetrical part of a modern popsicle shape is the slightly longer nose for better control and pop during ollies and flip tricks. Popsicle boards have double-kicks which means that the tail and nose are curved. Basically, these make tricks and transition skating possible. Technical skating would be nearly impossible if the board does not have kicks on both nose and tail. For cruising a single kick board should be fine.
Concave means the curvature across the deck surface and edges. It determines how the deck feels under your feet. The higher the concave in the nose and tail, the better you know where your feet are. This can be especially beneficial if you are skating at high speed and you want to constantly see where you are going. This is why transition skaters sometimes opt for a deck with sharper concave.
Bigger concave does not mean that flip tricks are any easier. This is why street skaters sometimes prefer smaller concave for a better foot placement. Especially since street skating relies on doing a variety of flip tricks, you want to move your feet freely on the board to make a variety of tricks possible.
What is the best skate deck for me?
Even though these tips are a good starting point they are not exactly set in stone. Some street skaters might want a larger deck for their tricks whereas some transition skaters might enjoy a smaller board with a shallower concave. It's all up to you!
If you break a board in a way that only a few layers of the 7-ply construction snaps, you might be able to get a refund. That usually indicates that the adhesive glue has dried before gluing them together.

Tribute to Elwyn Berlekamp, who passed away on April 9, 2019. Jim Omura writes about Elwyn's broad and substantial contributions to information theory, coding theory, and game theory
Elwyn Berlekamp passed away on April 9, 2019 in Berkeley, California. He was a brilliant mathematician and engineer who did groundbreaking research in Information Theory and Combinatorial Game Theory. He was also a successful entrepreneur, helped create a highly profitable quantitatively managed fund, served in leadership roles for academic societies, and was a generous supporter of STEM education and mathematics research. Elwyn is survived by his wife, Jennifer; daughters Persis, an art historian at the University of Chicago, and Bronwen Berlekamp O'Wril of Portland, Maine; and son David of Oakland.
Elwyn Berlekamp was born on September 6, 1940 in Dover, Ohio. His family moved to Northern Kentucky, where Elwyn was class president at Highland High School. In 1958 he and I entered MIT as freshmen. I first met Elwyn in our sophomore year when we played together on the East Campus intramural football team.
Elwyn was the smartest student I met at MIT. He took extra courses during his undergraduate years, completing his BS and MS degrees in 4 years and his PhD two years later, all at MIT. In addition, he taught himself Russian and together with other undergraduate students developed the first chess-playing software program, which is featured in the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, California. Although an Electrical Engineering student, he was among five winners of the national Putnam Mathematics competition in December 1961. His PhD thesis, Block Coding with Noiseless Feedback, spawned several publications. One key idea was to recast the problem as an asymmetric combinatorial game between the Coder and the Noisemaker and then to find asymptotically optimum strategies for playing that game. This was followed by his groundbreaking research work in Information Theory, Mathematics, and Combinatorial Game Theory. Less known is his mostly classified consulting work on cryptographic research for the Institute for Defense Analysis (IDA) in Princeton, New Jersey.
Research in Information Theory
In addition to his long career at the University of California Berkeley, Elwyn worked for short periods at Bell Labs, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) and IDA.
He invented a series of algorithms and related implementations which made powerful error-correcting codes useful in many applications. Best-known among these results was his algorithm to factor polynomials over finite fields and the Berlekamp-Massey algorithm to find linear recursions in long data streams. These were published in his 1968 book, Algebraic Coding Theory. Another major new result in that book was the enumeration of the number of information bits in long binary BCH codes. This book won the IEEE Information Theory Group's annual best research paper award. The applicability of some of these algorithms to problems in cryptography attracted the attention of the National Security Agency (NSA), who in 1967-1968 recruited Elwyn to become a consultant to their research group at IDA.
Some believed that Elwyn's algorithms were impractical. Without angel investors or venture capital, he founded Cyclotomics to develop commercial implementations, starting with the world's foremost Galois Field computer which shattered the then-prevalent myth that powerful high-speed algebraic error-correction was not feasible. Elwyn's Galois Field computer is now in the Computer History Museum.
When I met him during this period, I was amazed to see Elwyn programming an early microprocessor and designing integrated circuits. This work led to Elwyn becoming the youngest member of the National Academy of Engineering in 1977.
Cyclotomics bootstrapped its growth with profitable sales, and eventually grew to a peak of 40 people. It worked with NASA to design and build the error-correction decoders for the downlink of the Hubble Space Telescope. Beyond communications, Cyclotomics also pioneered applications of algebraic error-correction technology to several data storage technologies, including magnetic tapes, magnetic discs, and optical discs. By the mid-1980s, there were over 40 US companies trying to develop read-write optical memories. Cyclotomics developed controllers for several of them. The biggest of these companies was Eastman Kodak which acquired Cyclotomics in 1985.
In 1984 Cyclotomics spun off its consulting contracts in cryptography to a new startup, which became known as Cylink and which I co-founded with Elwyn and others. Cylink obtained angel funding from a group formed by Jim Simons, whom Elwyn had met at an IDA interview in 1967. In 1996 Cylink went public on the NASDAQ stock exchange.
The Medallion Quant Fund
Simons had started a hedge fund management firm, which became Renaissance Technologies in 1982. Six years later Renaissance established the Medallion quant fund using Leonard Baum's mathematical models, which were improved by pioneering algebraist James Ax to explore correlations from which they could profit. Around 1989 this fund, then called Axcom with Ax as CEO, was not doing well. Having met again as members of Cylink's board of directors, Simons turned to Elwyn to run Medallion from Berkeley. Elwyn bought out most of Ax's stake in Axcom and became its CEO. Over a six-month period, he worked with Simons, Sandor Straus, and consultant Henry Laufer to overhaul Medallion's trading system. In 1990 Elwyn led Medallion to a 55.9% gain, net of fees, and then returned to teaching at Berkeley after selling out his Axcom shares to Simons at six times the price he had paid 16 months earlier. Straus took the reins of Medallion's revamped trading system, and Medallion returned 39.4% in 1991, 34% in 1992 and 39.1% in 1993. They continued hiring mathematicians, engineers, and scientists and expanded into trading stocks as well as futures. The Medallion fund became the most successful hedge fund ever, averaging a 71.8% annual return, before fees, from 1994 through mid-2014. It made Simons the leading fund manager on Wall Street.
In the early 2000s, four new partners and Elwyn launched another quantitatively managed fund, called Berkeley Quantitative (BQ). After two years of development and studies, it accepted money from outside investors and began trading. As more investors entered, the fund size grew. Net performance reached 17%, and the fund size reached $250 million about 1.5 years after trading had begun. But the next couple of months saw unfriendly market conditions aggravated by some internal organizational problems and BQ was closed down after paying off its debts. The initial investors realized a net return of about 2% after 3 years. Elwyn felt that BQ was not a success, but it did much better than the wipe-outs experienced by many startups at that time.
Combinatorial Game Theory
Elwyn's fascination with mathematical games began when he learned to play Dots-and-Boxes in the first grade. Years later he discovered several mathematical theorems that underlie this game and others. In mathematics, his best-known work was in Combinatorial Game Theory, partly disseminated in his four-volume work Winning Ways with John H. Conway and Richard Guy. According to Martin Gardner, author of the extremely popular Mathematical Games column in Scientific American from 1957 to 1982, Winning Ways was the "greatest contribution of the 20th century to the burgeoning field of recreational mathematics. No other work has been so packed with completely new and significant material, or presented with so much wit, depth, and clarity." These books also became the foundation of a less-recreational subject called Combinatorial Game Theory. It was officially accepted by Math Reviews (now MathSciNet) as a new branch of mathematics and attracted the interest and contributions of many mathematicians and computer scientists.
Another of Elwyn's accomplishments in Combinatorial Game Theory was his analysis of positions in the endgame of Go. With David Wolfe, he published the book Mathematical Go. He demonstrated the effectiveness of his theory by setting up a plausible endgame position from which he beat one of the Japanese champions of the game, after which he set up the same position, reversed the board, and beat the master a second time. He also invented a variation of the game called Coupon Go, which is closer to elegant mathematical theories. This attracted the attention of both mathematicians and several world-class professional Go players.
Contributions to STEM education and the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute (MSRI)
Elwyn's father was a minister, and one sees the father's influence on the son in a strong and consistent ideal of service to the greater good.
Elwyn was active in the popularization of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM), directed both at K-12 education and at adults. He served on the governing boards of each of the two foremost private schools in Oakland, California, College Preparatory School and Head-Royce. He also directed his efforts towards extra-curricular education. In the late 1970s, he helped finance the start of the Berkeley Math Circle for junior high school students who met in a classroom one evening per week to share and enjoy solving math or logic problems not covered in their school curricula. He felt that one key to the success of such efforts was to eradicate (or at least blur) the line many students imagine between "real" mathematics/engineering and "recreational mathematics."
In 1979 Elwyn joined other MSRI founders in a meeting that persuaded UC Berkeley Chancellor Albert Bowker to support (verbally but not financially) MSRI as an allied but independent off-campus entity, with its own board of governors, neither controlled nor overseen by UC Berkeley. Serving as Chairman of the Board from 1994 to 1997, Elwyn hired the current MSRI director, David Eisenbud who wrote of Elwyn's connections to MSRI in his Memoriam: Elwyn Berlekamp.
Starting in 2015 he devoted much of his time to the preparation of short introductory videos aimed at getting more junior high school students interested in combinatorial games and some of the mathematics behind them. In 2017 he also became the initial donor to fund "America Asks, Science Answers", a new public information campaign by the National Academies.
With his wife Jennifer, Elwyn supported various charitable causes and in 2013 founded the Elwyn and Jennifer Berlekamp Foundation, a small private foundation based in Oakland to support math and science outreach and education in general and Combinatorial Game Theory in particular.
Like others with Top Secret clearances in cryptography, Elwyn refrained from publishing any papers directly relating to cryptography, whether they were classified or not. We once visited the National Security Agency (NSA) where I was able to see classified reports he had authored. In the 1970s academic papers on cryptography started to appear in academic journals, arousing concerns at the NSA that this information might be useful to U.S. adversaries. To address these concerns, the Director of NSA invited Elwyn to meetings with leading academics. Elwyn later convened similar meetings at UC Berkeley which led to a commission of relevant scholarly societies addressing these concerns.
Throughout his career Elwyn continuously made significant contributions to research and teaching, developed practical applications as a successful entrepreneur, supported education in mathematics, and held leadership roles in academic societies. He served on over 45 boards of various kinds. In 1973, he became one of a dozen faculty co-founders of the Computer Science Division within UC Berkeley's Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. His many students have in turn made significant impacts in electrical engineering and computer science. For example, one of his students, Ken Thompson, became the co-inventor of the Unix operating system. Many others have become leaders in academia and industry. Elwyn served in numerous leadership roles at the University of California, IEEE, the National Academy of Sciences, the National Academy of Engineering, non-profit educational organizations, and MSRI.
Elwyn and I first met at MIT sixty years ago. Over the past few years we would meet for long lunches once every couple of months, sharing stories and often discussing world events and social issues. Elwyn cared a lot about education and worried about inequalities in our society. It has been a privilege to have had Elwyn as a colleague and friend.

In Search of Foreign Embroidery: Men's 18th c. Embroidered costume
Edward Maeder built on research that he began ten years previously, investigating a 1749 English Act of Parliament that banned the wearing of "foreign embroidery and brocade in silk, silver or gold...procured in foreign parts" that was subject to seizure and burning. A 100 pound fine per item could be applied to the person who "sold" the garment. Maeder was interested in determining what criteria, if any, distinguished English embroidery from French embroidery: any design, aesthetic, or technical markers that distinguished the products of one nation from the other. In doing so, he intended to shed light on the socio-cultural context in which they were made and worn throughout the 18th century. He utilized the ROM's extensive collection of 18th century embroidered textiles either already made into or intended to become items of dress.
