Amulet 2014 is a study in blending – of both Bordeaux varietals and appellations within the Napa Valley. The 2014 vintage is comprised of almost 50% Cabernet Sauvignon with the balance nearly equal amounts of Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. The fruit is sourced mainly from Tuck Beckstoffer's estate vineyard in St Helena, complimented by fruit grown on Howell Mountain and the eastern hills of Oakville. In its youth, this wine demonstrates layered structure and promises longevity.
Wine Advocate 93 - The 2014 Proprietary Red Amulet, a blend of the four main Bordeaux varietals – Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot – is an extremely well-made wine with lush, low-acid blackcurrant and blackberry fruit, sweet well-integrated tannin, full body and voluptuous texture. The wine is typical of most top 2014s in its approachability and deliciousness.

Google, Facebook (and other 'internet giants') under ACCC scrutiny
Published On 12/12/2017 | By Jessie Zhang | Consumer protection, Reform
The ACCC commenced its inquiry into digital platforms on 4 December 2017 and is required to publish a preliminary report in early December 2018 and a final report by early June 2019. It is expected that the ACCC will release an issues paper early next year, which will outline the issues it will be considering in the inquiry, and call for public submissions. The ACCC also intends to conduct public and private hearings next year, with details yet to be finalised.
In this post, we provide an overview of the context and scope of the inquiry, the ACCC's powers and mandate for the inquiry and the reception of the inquiry's announcement to date (for further details and insights on this inquiry, see our alert).
What is the context and scope of the inquiry?
As stated by ACCC Chairman Rod Sims in a media release, as the media sector evolves, there are increasing concerns about the ability of traditional media to fund and develop content.
In this inquiry, the ACCC will examine the impact of digital "platform services" (such as Google and Facebook, which have disrupted advertising industries worldwide) on the state of competition in media and advertising services markets, in particular in relation to the supply of news and journalistic content, and the implications of this for media content creators, advertisers, and consumers.
Although the ACCC's media release (and much of the other press) have used Facebook and Google as examples, "platform services" is defined broadly to include digital search engines, social media platforms, and other digital content aggregation platforms.
According to Venture capital firm, Kleiner Perkins Caufield Byers, Google and Facebook account for an 85% share of digital advertising growth in the United States, a share which is forecast to rise. It is believed that a similar trend is taking place in Australia.
The ACCC has indicated that it would also like to hear the perspectives of content creators, mainstream and smaller media operators, platform providers, advertisers, journalists, small business interest groups, and consumers.
What's the ACCC's mandate and what powers does it have?
The source of the ACCC's power to conduct this inquiry is section 95H(1) of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth) (Act). Under s 95H(1) of the Act, the Minister (the Treasurer, Hon Scott Morrison MP) may direct the ACCC, by written notice, to hold an inquiry into one or more specified matters.
The Treasurer has requested several other inquiries under this provision of the Act, particularly within the past year, including an inquiry into the competitiveness of prices, trading practices, and the supply chain in the Australian dairy industry; and more recently, an inquiry into the supply of retail electricity and the competitiveness of retail electricity prices in the National Electricity Market.
Under the terms of reference of the inquiry (as set out in the notice issued by the Treasurer), the ACCC must consider (non-exhaustively) a number of matters, being:
the extent to which platform services providers are exercising market power in commercial dealings with creators of journalistic content and advertisers;
the impact of platform services on the level of choice and quality of news and journalistic content for consumers;
the impact of platform services providers on media and advertising markets;
the impact of longer-term trends, including innovation and technological change, on competition in media and advertising markets; and
the impact of information asymmetry between platform service providers, advertisers, and consumers and the effect on competition in media and advertising markets.
The ACCC has compulsory information gathering powers under the Act, which allow it to compel the production of documents, the furnishing of information, and to hold hearings to evaluate the matters it is considering in this inquiry. Although the ACCC does not have the power to change any laws or regulations at the end of the inquiry, it is able to make recommendations and may commence enforcement action against particular parties.
How have industry players received the announcement of the inquiry?
Representatives of Foxtel and Ten have welcomed the inquiry. Foxtel considers that "massive global players" are having a huge effect on the local market and also, in many cases, operating without the regulatory constraints that apply to local media companies and without the same commitment to supporting local content.
Facebook and Google have also publicly stated they "look forward" to the inquiry. In particular, a Facebook spokesperson said that "[w]hilst the sharing of news and entertainment content is only a small part of the content shared on our services, we take our role in the media ecosystem very seriously and invest significantly in products that support publishers".

I was born in Fredrikstad, Norway on March 1, 1946. In 1951 my father took a job as a mooring master (ship's pilot) with Tapline (the Trans Arabian Pipleine Company) in Saida, Lebanon which was my home until they returned to Norway in 1971.
My schooling was first 7 years at the Tapline School in Saida and then 5 years at ACS (the American Community School) in Beirut where I graduated from high school in 1964.
In 1970 I qualified as an architect from the School of Architecture at the then Kingston College of Art, now Kingston University at Kingston-upon-Thames just west of London, England.
After practicing architect as an assistant in Fredrikstad, Norway until 1980, I started my own architectural practice with two collegues in 1981 which was also the year I was introduced to computing. One of my first jobs in private practice was project consultant on the development of a building specifications program for architects at the Østfold College in Halden, which is about 40kms from Fredrikstad and 150km southeast of Oslo.
In 1987 I was invited to become visiting professor of information technology at the Oslo School of Architecture. During my two years there, I established courses in computer usage, computer aided design and presentation.
After 10 years in private practice both as a designing architect and software consultant to the building industry, I went into teaching and research as an associate professor in the department of computer science at Østfold University College in 1990. My responsibility was establishing and teaching a third year curriculum in multimedia. I am now full professor in the department teaching software design and researching information architecture (designing and constructing digital environments).
From April 2016 I have been professor emeritus at HiØ.
As my childhood was spent in Lebanon, where my parents allowed me great freedom to mix with friends in the local community - I have always felt a strong affinity to the culture of Lebanon and the Levant. (A consequence of which is also a reasonable fluency in colloquial Arabic.) While the war in Lebanon was an impediment to returning (which was always the intention after a short period in getting to know my parents' country, Norway), the relative peace of recent years has allowed me to revisit. My attachment to Lebanon has been an inspiration in creating the World-Wide Web server of cultural information about Lebanon and the Levant which I have named "Al Mashriq".
As a practicing architect for over 20 years, I have had the opportunity to design and see built a wide variety of buildings. These include private and social housing, industry and office buildings, hotels, public administration buildings and several churches. There have also been various industrial and graphic design projects including liturgical furniture, elements and printed presentational material. An example is the design and configuration of the workstations for the new Oslo Air Traffic Control Center - drawings here and pictures here.
Starting in 1993, I have been responsible for several research and development projects in our department. These have been mainly based on the various uses of the Internet in teaching and research. In addition to Al Mashriq, our main work at present is the real time multimedia streaming projects for UNINETT which includes a video-on-demand service for the Norwegian Parliament (Stortinget): http://media.hiof.no/. Earlier projects no longer under developement, but part of the pioneering development of Internet use in Norway are a series of projects for Norwegian National Broadcasting (NRK) and "Home on the Web" - a multimedia remote workplace.
In 1997 I helped establish the Digital Documentation Center at the American University in Beirut, which is an ongoing project that includes research and publications from various departments and some remarkable digitized collections from the library archives. Not least of which is Aftim Acra's seminal research on solar disinfection of drinking water.

Q: Excel VBA -> Userform to pick up information under loop I am a noob when it comes to Userform creation, please kindly help.
- note: this is my first time posting and can't seem copy over of what I have on to this post
simplified example of my current sheet:

Col A = Product Name
Col B = Qty in inventory
Col C = Allocation of product (say into different baskets)

Row 1= Apple / 10 / #1
Row 2= Orange / 10 / 5 in #2, 5 in #e
This is my biggest issue.
When I run my code:
for I = 1 to lastrow
    if range("C" & I) <> "#1" then
        userform1.show
    end if
next I

what I want to do at this point is to set label1.caption = range("C" & I) <--- ie making it dynamic
so when the user clicks submit/ok (which should split the info into 2 separate lines instead of 1), it would go next I (to the next line) that has the allocation that is NOT #1
thanks for all your help in advance!!

A: To be able to pass the value of "I" to your userform, declare it at the very top of your module, before the word "Sub":
Public I As Integer
Sub SearchRows()
For I = 1 To 5
If Range("C" & I) <> "#1" Then
UserForm1.Show
End If
Next I
End Sub

Then in the code for your userform:
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
Label1.Caption = Sheets("Sheet1").Range("C" & I)
End Sub

This will cycle through the values in column C that are not #1.

A: I think it's easier to pass the value directly:
For I = 1 To lastrow
    If Range("C" & I).Value <> "#1" Then
        Load UserForm1
        UserForm1.Label1.Caption = Range("C" & I).Value
        UserForm1.Show
    End If
Next I

You know how you have to choose the story you tell people in the medical field very carefully so that your needs are met? I had an exercise in this particular form of identity-bending rhetoric this morning, when I tried a scooter that the province of Quebec may potentially provide for me. Very happy that these are covered for all who qualify in this province, when in others they are not. It was, nonetheless, a frustrating experience in some ways and offers a chance for reflection. And rhyming!
contrary to popular opinion, I know what I want.
And what I don't want? To fein interest in the advice of a man who knows my file number and what I look like after rushing out of the shower to answer the door and that's it.

When I was 19 years old, I preached at a little church in Fayetteville, Arkansas. The church only had about 40 people, most of whom were elderly. Of those 40 members, only one was younger than I was. I would love to say we had a youth group, but in reality, it was more like a "youth kid."
I was just starting college in Missouri, so I had to drive about two hours every weekend to get to the church. At this time, I was a very shy, mild-mannered and meek guy. I was the kind of guy who didn't want to offend anyone. People who know me now are shocked to learn this, but it's the truth.
Their smoking always bothered me. I knew it was an unhealthy habit, and the fact that they were church leaders indulging in plain view of the church wasn't helping us out at all. Who wants to go to church and smell cigarettes as soon as they step in the door? Many, many times I wanted to talk to them about it, but I couldn't. They intimidated me.
One day, the director of a local orphanage called me and asked if he could bring the kids to church. "Of course," I replied. "Come over, and we'll have lunch for you, too!"
He brought about 10 kids, which increased our church attendance that Sunday by 25 percent. After the service was over, we all moved downstairs to enjoy our lunch together, but the director pulled me aside and asked to speak to me. Once we were out of sight and away from everyone else, his demeanor changed. He got right in my face and started poking me in the chest with his index finger.
Dead serious, he said, "Preacher, I'm gonna tell you something. Every single day these kids fight the temptation to drink, swear and smoke. The last place I ever thought they would see a bad example was in the church! You better start preachin' what people need to hear and not what they want to hear."
Then he said, "We will never come back to this church again."
Though his words were harsh, they were a necessary wake-up call. For the rest of that afternoon, I was racked with conviction. My church had served as a bad example to those kids, and it was all because I didn't have the guts to say what needed to be said.
That evening, as I arrived for our Sunday-night service, I prayed earnestly for God to grant me boldness to do just what that man had said. To preach what people needed to hear.
During my prayer, I felt the power of the Holy Spirit rise up within me and fill me with courage and purpose. Before I even entered the church door, I knew I would finally be able to speak what God had placed on my heart. When I got up to preach that night, I threw away my prepared notes. I stood up there and let them have it with both barrels.
I don't remember everything I said during that message, but I do remember saying at one point, "If God had intended for you to smoke, he would have put a chimney on your head! Smoking won't send you to hell, but it will sure make you smell like you've been there!" I stressed the fact that we shouldn't be smoking in the first place, let alone inside the church of Jesus Christ, because doing so would undoubtedly set a poor example for others in the faith.
Truth be told, I was surprised at myself. I never knew I could speak like that. And many in the church were just as surprised as I was. The point being, God unleashed a boldness in me that was completely contrary to my nature.
The very next Sunday morning, I made my drive from college to Fayetteville. I was preparing to deliver the message when one of the three elders pulled me to the side.
Calmly, he said, "Dudley, we've decided to let you go."
He said, "For financial reasons."
"Financial reasons? You only pay me $50 a week!"
"I know, but we just can't afford to keep you."
I tried reasoning with him, saying, "I'll tell you what; I just want to preach. What if you paid me $5 a week? That would at least cover the gas. Would that be in the budget?"
He firmly answered, "No, we're letting you go. Today will be your last day."
I immediately felt that same boldness rise up in me again, except this time it was twice as strong. For the second service in a row, I threw my sermon notes away and let them have it again. They definitely didn't want me to come back after that message.
I will never forget what the orphanage director said to me on that Sunday afternoon in Fayetteville: "You better start preachin' what people need to hear and not what they want to hear." If I had a photo of him digging his finger into my chest, I would have it framed and sitting on my office desk to this day. It changed my life.
Today, you may be just like I was at age 19—timid and frightened to say what you know in your heart is true. God can empower and embolden you to proclaim truths you never thought were possible. He will change the lives of others before your very eyes.
"For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind" (2 Tim. 1:7, NKJV).
Sharing the hope of the gospel with as many people as I possibly can is my life's burden and passion. Do you feel this compelling call as well? Pray and ask God to fill you with boldness and courage to speak up. Pray and ask Him to dissolve concerns about what others might think of you or say or do if you tell them the truth.
You don't have to be a full-time preacher or pastor to get involved in God's mission to save the world through His Son, Jesus. If you ask Him, God will instill in you a burden for sharing your faith. Just as the prophet Jeremiah proclaimed in Jeremiah 20:9, the Word of God will become like a fire in your heart and in your bones that you won't be able to hold in even if you tried.

Just How Bad Is Dating in Denver, Anyway?
Kenji Bunch and EarWarp: Modern music for modern people
Susan Froyd
| Arts and Culture |
Susan Froyd | May 7, 2012 | 6:48am
The EarWarp chamber concert series -- which regularly spotlights some of Colorado's best classical musicians -- is still growing, but it helps to have friends like Kenji Bunch, a nationally recognized violist and modern composer, whose work is derived from contemporary folk/roots music, as well as the classical canon. Bunch returns to play with EarWarp tonight at 7 p.m. at the Denver School of the Arts Concert Hall
Bunch will perform with EarWarp's founder, the vibrant Colorado Symphony violinist Erik Peterson, and the Ivy St. Ensemble (Cathy Peterson, flute; Natalia Sim, piano; Margaret Soper Gutierrez, violin;Jeffery Watson, cello; and Phillip Stevens, viola) in a program featuring Mozart's Quintet in C Minor, Maria Newman's Pennipotenti for Flute, Violin and Viola, and three pieces by Bunch.
Bunch describes his own three compositions (which include an ode to his dog, Coffee) as follows:
"The first one, 'Étoufée,' is inspired by the open tuning of a slide guitar," he explains. "This allows me to slide around a lot, evoking the music of the Delta and Cajun melodies.
"The next piece is kind of goofy: It's called 'Dogbreath Express,'" Bunch continues. "I have a dog that's very helpful with the compositional process. She sits with me in the office when I'm working, and it's sort of tone poem about a typical day in her life."
The last piece, "Velocity," is an arpeggio-driven modern flute work inspired by the eighteenth-century Mannheim Rocket School.
This program is a special treat since Bunch's composing schedule is on hold right now, with an eight-week-old baby in the house. But he says there are things in the works, just as soon as he and Coffee can get back to work: a string quartet and a trio for Erik and Cathy Peterson and Phillip Stevens among them.
Tickets for Earwarp are $15 (or $5 fro students); for information and reservations visit the website.

Penydarren Boys & Girls Club moved up the table in Division Three after a convincing victory over AFC Porth.
A brace from Joshua Brogden and a goal from Christopher Colvin-Owen gave the Merthyr club the win over The Black Dragons.
It was The Miners who came out on top when last season these two sides were separated by two divisions.
Penydarren are now 12 points ahead of opponents AFC Porth and are seven points behind Trethomas Bluebirds who occupy the final promotion spot. Penydarren has seven games in hand over Trethomas.
Kerry Mullins' side started on the front foot looking sharp from the outset against a steady formed AFC Porth side.
The deadlock was broken at The Bont Playing Fields in the early stages of the game. Penydarren captain Alex Lloyd played a neat pass into the feet of Joshua Brogden. Brogden turned his man inside the box to remarkably fire past the AFC Porth goalkeeper into the bottom right-hand corner.
The home side continued to dominate the opening exchanges of the match creating more and more chances but failed to add to their tally.
Things didn't get any better for Ryan Betteney's side as they gave away a penalty in the 25th minute after Asa Lloyd was brought down inside the area. From the resulting penalty, Penydarren BGC striker Joshua Brogden calmly slotted home his 12th goal of the season to extend the lead for the hosts.
Just minutes later Penydarren had another great chance to extend their lead after Christopher Colvin-Owen played a lovely ball over the top of the AFC Porth defence towards the back post but winger Alex Long could only manage to fire his shot wide of the post.
Brogden continued to look a threat for Penydarren but was unable to add to his brace in the first half as Penydarren went into the break with a two-goal lead.
The second period was much more of the same as Penydarren continued their dominance with a lot of possession but failed to find the cutting edge within the final third.
Penydarren BGC did further add to their goal tally three minutes from time. The third coming on a breakaway as Penydarren successfully defended a Porth corner.

Carlrichard Brühl (25 February 1925 – 25 January 1997) was a German historian of medieval history and philatelist who, in 1986, was awarded the Crawford Medal by the Royal Philatelic Society London for his Geschichte der Philatelie.

His main research focus in historical science was the Frankish Empire and the subsequent realms of France, Italy and Germany. Brühl wrote numerous studies on the economic basis of medieval kingship in a comparative European perspective, on the sites where rulers exercised their power, and on the travel routes of medieval rulers.

Jessie Barnes Exhibit at Vol State Gallery
Dallas-based artist Jessie Barnes combines flora, fauna and human imagery in colorful, complex, and often jungle-like settings that harken back to her childhood in Florida. She practices printmaking, painting and drawing. Her work is currently on display at the Volunteer State Community College Art Gallery.
"Tangled palmettos and invasive vines serve as metaphors for instances in our lives when innocence turns to fear, while color lures the viewer closer," Barnes said. "Ultimately, I present settings, objects, and environments that can be viewed wholly as a sanctuary or reminder of the past. My work is fragile and vulnerable, but it also possesses a dark and complex sense of power that mirrors personal strengths and weaknesses."
The Vol State exhibition will run from February 26 to March 29. There will be a Gallery Talk by the artist on Thursday, March 29 at 1 p.m. at the Gallery. Beforehand, people can visit a printmaking class from 8:30 a.m. to 10 a.m. in SRB 268. The Vol State Art Gallery is located on the first floor of the Steinhauer-Rogan-Black (SRB) Humanities Building on the Gallatin campus at 1480 Nashville Pike. Gallery hours are Monday through Thursday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., Friday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. For more information call 615-230-3202.

Transforming a WWII airfield into solar site
A World War II airfield in the UK is to be retrofitted in order to turn it into a solar feed – in a tariff site.
The site, a runway in Westcott airfield, has received permission to make the transformation and could be the UK's first functioning solar park, according to edie.net.
The Feed-in Tariff solar site is expected to consist of 1,500 solar panels and could generate an estimated 1.2 megawatts (MW) of energy.
A feed-in tariff is a mechanism that encourages the adoption of renewable energy – geothermal energy, tidal power, wind power, biomass, hydropower and solar power – in order for it to assist with contributions to the grid. Purchase prices are generally based on renewable energy generated and tend towards grid parity.
An existing system exists in Germany (following a policy amendment) and has since led to a shake up of prices for renewable energy and a number of countries have followed suit.

Have You Thought Of Taking A Break From Drinking?
Do your find yourself looking forward to a daily glass of wine? Does that glass often lead to another? And sometimes even another?
More and more of my female clients are concerned about their alcohol habits. If you are drinking alcohol every day, you may want to explore why this is happening. Are you using it as a stress reliever? Do you prefer to drink rather than eat? Does it help you relax socially?
Do you feel it is your "treat" that you deserve after a long day?
Well, you do indeed deserve a treat, but that glass wine is going to feel really great for a few hours and then may feel really awful for the rest of the night. And that one glass may easily turn into two or three glasses of wine that may turn into five or six bottles of wine each week. So what is the answer?
Maybe a treat is a few moments alone with a cup of hot tea. Maybe it is a massage. Maybe a treat is a warm bath, a stupid magazine, a call to someone special, a nap, reading, or five minutes of meditation. When we tap into what we really NEED, that treat is often something completely non-food related.
Lately, I have been seeing many clients that crave wine every evening before dinner. At first, they think it is about the wine but, for many, they are actually hungry and have gotten in the habit of drinking wine before eating food. When they start eating food instead of drinking wine at that time, the craving tends to disappear.
Are you finding it hard to limit yourself in social situations?
If your underage child was at a party and was given a drink, what would you HOPE that he/she would say? Hopefully your answer is, NO. If you would expect your child to be able to say it, why can't you say no to a drink? No judgment, just notice.
Fill a wine or martini glass with sparkling water and a lemon, and no one will ever suspect anything.
Then there are the useful excuses you can try: I'm on antibiotics and can't drink, Or, I don't drink during the week. Or, I have a big day tomorrow.
Ultimately, you're the only one in charge of what you consume, and you're the only one who will feel and endure the after effects of all you drink. It's good to feel good -- and you deserve to feel good in a very different way than you deserve a drink. Keep in mind that every glass of wine is like eating a small dessert. Would you eat three desserts with dinner every night? I don't think so.
Taking a break from alcohol every so often is a great idea. You may lose a few pounds. You may sleep better. You may think more clearly. You may just feel better. I honestly don't know how you will feel, but I do know that it is better than you feel right now. And, with all that money you will save, a massage just might make you forget about that craving completely!

— "The Ear Doesn't Blink: Creating Culture With Adaptive Audio" will draw on O'Donnell's unique perspective and experience (from film and commercial jingles to his role as sound designer on the Halo franchise) to discuss the creative challenges of working in non-linear media such as games —
New York, NY — Audio professionals and gaming aficionados of all types will want to be present to hear acclaimed game audio director and composer Marty O'Donnell (Halo series, others) deliver the Richard C. Heyser Memorial Lecture at the 137th Audio Engineering Society Convention, which runs Thursday, October 9, through Sunday, October 12, 2014, at the Los Angeles Convention Center in Los Angeles, California. The AES convention's Heyser lecture, scheduled to take place on Friday, October 10, at 7 p.m., is served by an endowment that each year brings eminent individuals in audio engineering and related fields to speak on an interesting topic, is often a highlight of the show; past lecturers have included Ray Dolby, Ray Kurzweil, Walter Murch, George Massenburg and Phil Ramone. O'Donnell's lecture, titled "The Ear Doesn't Blink: Creating Culture With Adaptive Audio" will draw on his unique perspective from years working in film and commercial music, including developing the audio for Halo, the biggest-selling game soundtrack of all time, as well as the long-awaited title, Destiny, in which he involved the likes of Sir Paul McCartney to create the soundtrack for this much-anticipated game, slated to hit shelves on September 9 of this year.
O'Donnell, who received a Bachelor of Music Composition from Wheaton College Conservatory and a Masters of Music Composition from USC, started an original music and audio production company with Michael Salvatori in the 1980s. From their studio in Chicago, O'Donnell and Salvatori wrote and produced music and audio for hundreds of TV and radio commercials, as well as movie scores. In 1997, they began working on games and did the audio design for Cyan's Riven: The Sequel to Myst, and all the music and audio for Bungie's Myth: The Fallen Lords. Marty joined Bungie as full-time Audio Director in May of 2000, ten days before they were purchased by Microsoft, and subsequently wrote and produced award-winning music and audio for the Halo series. In 2007 he helped establish Bungie as an independent game company and built an audio team to work on the upcoming game Destiny. Recently, in collaboration with Salvatori and Sir Paul McCartney, he completed an orchestral/choral suite titled Music of the Spheres. In April of 2014, he started his own company, Marty O'Donnell Music. Throughout all of these endeavors, he's brought a unique perspective to audio in a wide range of media, something that he'll share with attendees at the lecture.
O'Donnell notes, "Advances in audio production technology have sparked amazing creative responses from audio artists, musicians, and composers. Music and audio can enhance the experience of a consumer in ways that were almost unimaginable thirty years ago. It's been an incredible personal creative journey."
AES Executive Director Bob Moses states, "The annual Heyser Lecture is one of the highlight events of the convention, showcasing a world leader sharing his unique perspective in the field of audio. With the importance of Game Audio in today's A/V food chain, Marty O'Donnell's talk will surely inspire people to step up their game. This is a can't-miss event!"
The Richard C. Heyser Memorial Lecture series was established in May 1999 by the AES Technical Council, the Board of Governors and the Richard Heyser Scholarship Fund to honor the extensive contribution to the Society by Heyser, widely known for his ability to communicate new and complex technical ideas with great clarity and patience. The Heyser Series is an endowment for lectures that bring to AES conventions eminent individuals in audio engineering and related fields.

What a marvelous chapter of marital infelicities
What a marvelous chapter of marital infelicities is that furnished by the royal houses of Tuscany and Saxony ! It would seem as though the furies of a perverse misfortune had been let loose upon these unhappy grandees who would surely be willing enough to exchange their high estate for the lot of any farm laborer living in a cottage "where love is."
The Archduke Leopold Salvator of Tuscany and the former Crown Princess of Saxony are brother and sister. It is now a long time ago, but the society world still finds occasion for a wondering gossip in the unaccountable whim of the Archduke Leopold in deliberately sacrificing his position in order to marry Wilhelmina Adamovics, a vaudeville actress who certainly had a lovely face but very little else that could recommend her to a royal lover. The archduke became Leopold Wolfling and then found that he had made the mistake of his life. Wilhelmina Adamovics is today a wretched maniac in the asylum of Steinhof.
She was of course mad from the beginning. All the world knew that as soon as it knew anything at all about her. Her vagaries in search of the "simple life" became the talk of Europe, for any life less deserving of such a description it would be hard to imagine. She became a vegetarian and nothing would satisfy her but that her husband should do the same. There are different kinds of vegetarians, but Wilhelmina belonged to the extremist section, and she dragged her husband through a career of dietetic absurdities that would ruin the digestion of a healthy shark. The poor man submitted, as men have always done and always will do. Then Wilhelmina determined to throw in her lot with the colony of ascetics at Ascona, in Switzerland, and once more and for a time she persuaded her wretched husband to follow her. Common rumor speaks in whispers about the eccentricities of these people. They are said to include a costume similar to that adopted by the parents of the human race immediately after the fall. Then came the revolt of Leopold, after entreaties and persuasions had failed. He left the colony and his wife, and instituted successful divorce proceedings, soon afterwards marrying again. And now Wilhelmina is in a lunatic asylum. She is still a vegetarian and she wears a costume that is at least ample, but that is far from picturesque. She neither bathes nor combs her hair, and she varies a mood of sulky silence with maniacal outbreaks of rage against her former husband and against the restraints of the asylum. And this is the theatrical star who was once the idol of great audiences and who charmed the heart of an archduke. Assuredly nature gives us all that we ask for – at a price. There is no human ambition that is beyond human attainment – on conditions. The contemptuous gods will give us all that we ask for, absolutely without limit, and if in our greedy haste to snatch at the gift we have no time to glance at the price label, that is our affair and not theirs.

How to record your own alarm tone on Android with Google Clock
In this guide, we will show you all the steps you need to follow to add any sound as an alarm tone on your Android smartphone, thanks to the Google Clock application
Edgar Otero,January 20, 2023
The Google Clock app now lets you record your own sounds to use as an alarm tone. However, this functionality is not available on all devices. Will your smartphone support this feature? This is just one of the questions we will answer.
In addition to showing you the necessary steps to record your own alarm ringtone on your Android device, we look at some situations where you may find it interesting to use this feature. You may find one or more of the ideas we propose attractive and lead you to create your own sound for your alarms.
How to create and set your personalized alarm sound on your smartphone
As we mentioned in the introduction, the Google Clock app, which usually comes pre-installed on numerous devices, now includes an option that lets you record your own alarm tone. But when can we use such a feature?
We have come up with some interesting ideas:
Wake up to a specific sound. Now that it is possible to record any sound, you can use this feature to wake up to one of your favorite sounds. Several examples come to mind, but one that we love is using our pet sounds.
Use the voice of another person. With this function, it is possible to wake up to the voice of any person. It is only necessary to ask this person to record a message.
Start the day with a positive message. You can also record your own voice narrating an excerpt from a book you like or a text with a positive message. This way, you are sure to start your day the right way.
Record a song that is not on Spotify or YouTube Music. Another scenario in which Google Clock's recording function is interesting is for "capturing" songs that are not so popular. All you have to do is play them and make your smartphone record them to set later as your alarm tone.
Play a joke on somebody. Obviously, being able to use a personalized recording as an alarm tone is a great way to play a joke on someone. And this is as far as we go because we do not want to give you more ideas.
We are sure these examples have inspired you, and you have probably thought of many others. But how do you record an alarm tone with your smartphone?
Record an alarm tone to use it as your alarm clock sound
The steps are simple:
Open the Google Clock application.
Go to the Alarm section.
Add a new alarm, select the time, and wait for it to appear in the list of all scheduled alarms.
Tap it, and tap the little bell icon.
In the Recorded Sounds section, tap Record a new one.
The Google Recorder will open. Now, tap the record button to start recording.
At the end of the recording, stop the audio recording process and tap Save.
The audio will appear in the Recorded Sounds section, and now you can use it.
From now on, the smartphone will use the sound you have recorded as your alarm tone.
Aspects to take into account when customizing your alarm
For the moment, only available for Pixel devices. Apparently, the Google Watch app executes this action with a command directed to the com.google.android.apps.recorder app (which is the recorder that comes pre-installed on the Google Pixel). In addition to these devices, it could also work on some custom ROMs that include this app, such as Pixel Experience.
The Clock application supports other sources. Although you cannot record directly from the Clock app, remember that it is possible to select custom sounds selecting them from the Android file explorer. If this option is unavailable on your device, record the sound with the native application (or with another one you download) and then select it by tapping Add new in the Your sounds section.
Many more options with YouTube Music and Spotify. Google's streaming service has a vast music library, including live performances and cover versions of popular songs. Additionally, Google Clock supports Spotify. In both cases, you need an account to select songs from these platforms.

There is nothing "wrong" with going to the listing agent or another agent in the listing firm.
But, you need to know the difference between being a client or a customer.
You need to know if you are getting fiduciary service including advocacy from an agent, or if the agent is a fiduciary advocating for the seller.
Are you expecting to be a "client" or a "customer?"
But you didn't engage him in writing?
That is a state-specific concept.
An agent in NC cannot be engaged in a fiduciary role without a written, signed agency agreement. Actually, I really like that formality, as it takes a lot of exposure to "He said, She said" out of the mix.
Some states don't require engagement in writing. Is yours one that doesn't require a buyers' agency agreement in writing?
I have never signed a buyer's exclusive, nor been asked to.
Have you mentioned what state you are in, and I have missed that?
I have not nor will I state what State I reside in. I know there is no law that requires a buyer's exclusive. I am also well aware of procuring cause, another very complicated gray area and the ramifications that apply(just incase that was part of your next question).
I couldn't care less about procuring cause. Boring topic to me, in general.
I wasn't trying to pester. Just to learn.
It generally is amazing to me that people can be legally bound in a fiduciary role, or even a non-fiduciary role, without documentation on what is generally the most costly investment most people will make in their lifetimes.
So many consumers and agents stumble around when discussing agency topics.
you are a seasoned buyer. Because now you're on your 5th transaction (buyer) in 5 years.
The agent that successfully helped you sell your house, you (mutually) determined wasn't the right fit as your buyer's agent. Fair enough, and with either non-exclusive agency or by numerous forms of termination it happens all the time.
Exactly. There are always a few pros who lament that buyers like you and I get a bad taste in our mouths when these tactics are used. We are all supposed to just go along for the sake of their commission and all kinds of arguments are made about how walking away when the deck is clearly stacked a particular way is nonsensical. But many buyers are on to this, and many choose their agent carefully based on their low propensity for shenanigans. I guarantee that some of the frequent flyers on this board would run screaming if I was their buyer. And that is okay. I know what my boundaries are, what I am interested in, and what I am willing to do for it. I value an agent who respects that. Not all do. As you say, not all are a good fit.
I understand that each market is different and what works in a Peoria may not fly in Seattle. But greed is the same all over. It only takes getting burned once to learn how to navigate as a buyer. Sometimes its an expensive lesson.
I understand and didn't think you were pestering at all. Your point about "client" or "customer" is interesting. I would say at this point in time, I feel like a customer. This agent may not be the right fit for me as well.
Any tips on how to vet an agent? Referrals from other people, search engine site's, etc....?

The quality of education being delivered varies across private and public schools. Among the several amendments, the House will consider cutting school district's tax rates even more, increasing funding for special education students, restoring a special pot of money set aside for gifted and talented programs, establishing a school safety allotment in the formulas, and automatically adjusting for inflation each year the base amount of money school districts get per student.
The most cogent comment was made by Gina Perez (El Paso), who questioned why TEA would be included with the entities encouraging high standards for teacher preparation when it allows charter districts and DOI districts to exempt themselves from those same standards.
I mentioned that I'd spoken with teachers at such schools who told me that many students are, for example, unable to locate the United States on a map of the world or unaware the United States had a War of Independence—because the curriculum at their elementary and middle schools had narrowed to reading and math.
We thank Senator Van Hollen for his leadership and introducing the Keep Our PACT Act that makes student opportunity a federal budget priority, especially when it comes to the targeted investments in education programs designed to help students in poverty, children with disabilities and those who are most in need.
Wall to wall career academies and a transition program for ninth graders have helped create an environment at this Texas high school in which rigorous, relevant education, inside and outside of the classroom, is the norm for all students. According to the investigation, based on more than 100 public records requests, thousands of pages of records and interviews with current and former endowment employees, a series of law changes since 2001 have radically reshaped the structure of the fund, impacting its performance and the amount of money it sends to schools.
During a 12-hour hearing of the House Public Education Committee yesterday, school district officials offered their views on House Bill 3, a school finance bill that would boost funding for students from low-income families, drop property tax rates by at least 4 cents for homeowners, and eliminate or update outdated elements of the state's complex school finance formula, among other provisions.
You also may notice that in his remarks before the board Education Commissioner Mike Morath tried to deny the fact that the school finance budget TEA has submitted to legislators would reduce state education funding by $3.5 billion during the next budget period.
The Seattle Times Education section covers schools at the district, state and federal level. Texas is spending 18.9{861a28a83dbc1b7b1b987fadc42b035b6421658f94937813ec8062e268c0f75a} less per student now ($7,983), in constant dollars with inflation factored out, than it was in 2010 ($9,845), the report reveals, while the state's share of public education spending has dropped from 37.6{861a28a83dbc1b7b1b987fadc42b035b6421658f94937813ec8062e268c0f75a} of the total to 35{861a28a83dbc1b7b1b987fadc42b035b6421658f94937813ec8062e268c0f75a} of the total projected for the 2019 budget.
Teachers can use movies about historical events to teach students how to critically view films and compare facts with the often-fictionalized versions depicted in Hollywood movies, writes Pennsylvania high-school history and government teacher Benjamin Barbour.
H-E-B is now accepting nominations for educators to apply for the 2019 H-E-B Excellence in Education Awards Each year, these awards highlight a variety of educators who go above and beyond to make a difference in the lives of their students and communities.

For more than 30 years, Education Week has been the most respected voice in education journalism. Children from less educated families—like the majority of those who attend Baltimore's public schools—often won't acquire it unless they get it in school. Members of the Senate Finance Committee met on Monday to consider the public education budget. Georgia's Troup High School Theatre Department held its first Literacy on the Lawn event to introduce elementary-school students to books and the arts.
The Texas State Teachers Association expressed their opposition to the bill's merit pay provision, which would be tied to student performance on the STAAR test. School districts would be barred from suspending students who are homeless under Senate Bill 1001.

Casa Mecklenburg (de asemenea Obodriten ), denumită în principal Niklotiden în cercetările științifice, este dinastia care a apărut din asociația tribală a Abodritilor si a condus Mecklenburg pentru 787 de ani - din 1131 până în 1918 - aproape neîntrerupt.

A aparținut familiei Griffin (dinastia ducilor din Pomerania), Piastilor din Silezia și Boemiei Přemyslids, una dintre puținele case regale din Sfântul Imperiu Roman al națiunii germane a cărei linie masculină era descendentă din prinții slavi occidentali.

Dezvoltare istorica
Urmașul familiei este Niklot (în jurul anilor 1100–1160), prințul abodritilor, Kessiner și zirzipani, care a căzut în 1160 în lupta împotriva ducelui Heinrich Leul. Originea lui Niklot sunt necunoscute. Fiul său Pribislaw a trebuit să se supună lui Heinrich după bătălia pierdută de la Verchen, din 1164, a devenit creștin și a primit o mare parte din moștenirea sa paternă de la Heinrich ca feudă săsească în 1167. Mecklenburgul, lângă Wismar (numit și Mikelburg, Mikelenburg sau Wiligrad) a fost înlocuit de Wismar ca scaun princiar în 1256. Între timp, însă, au apărut alte scaune princiare în stăpânirea obodritică. Descendenții lui Pribislaw au fost numiți duci în 1348 și, de atunci, toți membrii casei au deținut titlul de duce de Mecklenburg. Cu Albrecht III. Obodritii au furnizat și un rege al Suediei din 1364 până în 1389. Suverani începând cu 1806, au fost ridicați la mare duce în două rânduri (Schwerin și Strelitz) în 1815 și, ca atare, au devenit prinți federali ai Imperiului German în 1871 până la Revoluția din noiembrie 1918.

Regula parțială
Istoria statului Mecklenburg este caracterizată de diviziuni dinastice repetate, prin care părțile individuale ale statului au rămas doar membri autonomi ai statului Mecklenburg într-o măsură limitată până în 1918:

1229 - Prima diviziune principală a țării în patru părți:

 Mecklenburg
 Parchim (până în 1316)
 Werle (până în 1436)
 din 1282 Werle-Güstrow și Werle-Parchim
 din 1292–1316 Werle
 din 1316 Werle-Güstrow (până în 1436) și Werle-Goldberg (până în 1374)
 din 1337 Werle-Waren (până în 1425) ca spin-off de la Werle-Goldberg
 Rostock (până în 1314)

1352 împărțirea țării în două stăpâniri parțiale:

 Mecklenburg-Schwerin (I)
 Mecklenburg-Stargard (până în 1471)

1621 - A doua diviziune principală a țării în două părți (1628–1631 unite temporar sub Wallenstein):

 Mecklenburg-Schwerin (II)
 Mecklenburg-Güstrow (până în 1695)

1701 - A treia diviziune principală a țării în două părți:

 Mecklenburg-Schwerin (III)
 Mecklenburg-Strelitz

În 1815, la Congresul de la Viena, ambii regenți din Mecklenburg au primit o îmbunătățire comună a titlului de Mare Duce de Mecklenburg. Ambele părți ale țării au fost denumite de acum înainte marile ducate. Doar partea de stat a Mecklenburg-Schwerin a făcut pasul către un stat constituțional modern cu o monarhie constituțională în cursul reformelor din 1848, care s-a încheiat însă în 1850 și a fost readus la vechiul statut juridic.

După Adolf Friedrich VI., ultimul Mare Duce de Mecklenburg [-Strelitz], a murit în 1918, cu puțin timp înainte de sfârșitul monarhiei, în circumstanțe misterioase, Marele Duce Schwerin Friedrich Franz al IV-lea a preluat guvernul de la Strelitz și, în cele din urmă, i-a mulțumit pe 14. Noiembrie 1918 atât pentru Mecklenburg. Fostele părți ale țării au obținut independența politică ca state libere pentru prima dată în 1918/19 și au rămas țări ale Reichului german. Ca loc de rezoluție pentru prima constituție de stat democratică a Republicii Weimar, Castelul Neustrelitz a devenit, de asemenea, semnificativ în ceea ce privește istoria politică.

Linia Mecklenburg-Schwerin a expirat în 2001 când Friedrich Franz Herzog zu Mecklenburg, ultimul Mare Duce ereditar de Mecklenburg-Schwerin, a murit fără copii. Linia Mecklenburg-Strelitz există și astăzi în linia masculină; Ultimii bărbați Obodrit sunt șeful casei Mecklenburg-Strelitz, Borwin (* 1956) și cei doi fii ai săi Georg Alexander (* 1991) și Carl Michael (* 1994).

If you're looking to start your morning right with a great cup of coffee and friendly neighborhood service, stop in to one of over 40 Marylou's Coffee locations throughout Massachusetts and Rhode Island. The coffee shops feature bright pink signs, walls, counters and tables dressed in ABET Laminati's 494 Sei and are sure to perk up your day.
Founded in 1986, Marylou's was started by Marylou Sandry, who decided to switch careers and purchased a local coffee shop in Hanover, MA where she used to stop every morning for her cup of Joe. Marylou sought to create a friendly atmosphere where guests would be greeted with a smile when they came to buy "the best coffee in town." Hometown enthusiasm is brewed into every cup.
"We're known for our bright pink cups so it was an easy choice when we saw that ABET Laminati had a matching laminate that could be used to complement our brand as we build out new locations and modernize existing ones. Our stores look fantastic. I love the bright, clean and modern environment it creates. It's fun and welcoming and fits our forward-thinking vision for our chain," says Keli-Jo Rowell, President of Marylou's.
Marylou's is adding two to four coffee shops every year and ABET Laminati looks forward to growing with them. And if you're in the neighborhood, be sure to stop by and grab yourself a cup of the best coffee in town.

Palazzo Maravegia è un'architettura di Venezia nel sestiere di Dorsoduro e affacciata sul rio San Trovaso, presso il ponte de le Maravegie.

Fu sede della famiglia omonima, legata alla vicenda di Alessandra Maravegia, nobildonna che, imprigionata dai turchi, scelse di morire per la Serenissima.

Descrizione

Di dimensioni modeste, la facciata di Palazzo Maravegia si caratterizza per le sue linee gotiche quattrocentesche e per il suo intonaco rosato.

Il piano terra è aperto da un semplice portale quadrangolare.

I due piani superiori presentano una forometria più ricca, con la sovrapposizione centralmente di due grandi quadrifore ogivali trilobate: quella del primo piano è inserita in una cornice marmorea e sostenuta da colonnine policrome di ordine corinzio.

Entrambe le quadrifore sono dotate di balaustra e affiancate su entrambi i lati da una monofora, quella di sinistra murata.

Sulla parte alta della superficie della facciata si trovano anche due piccole formelle con scolpiti elementi floreali.

Song Review by Dave Thompson
Cliff Richard's 25th successive U.K. hit single, in August 1963, "It's All in the Game" was originally written in 1912 by Chicago banker (and future U.S. Vice President) General Charles Gates Dawes, as "Melody in a Major." An earlier version by American Tommy Edwards had already topped the British chart in 1958; Richard's gentle rendition climbed to number two, remedying the "Is Cliff Slipping"-type headlines which greeted the lowly (number four) placing achieved by its predecessor, "Lucky Lips." In America, it became his third hit, reaching number 25, although hopes that it marked the beginning of a fine romance were not to be. Richard would not climb so high again for another 13 years.
