Rihanna, Breaking New Ground, Joins With LVMH for Fashion Brand
Get ready for the second coming of FentyOn Friday, LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton, the world's largest luxury group, officially confirmed not only that the fashion line created by Rihanna was becoming part of its gilded stable, but also that the first products from the new company would be unveiled — in a few weeks Thus the disruption of the status quo begins
Rihanna will become the first woman to create an original brand at LVMH, the first woman of color at the top of an LVMH maison, and her line will be the first new house created by the group since Christian Lacroix in 1987 It joins such storied heritage brands as Dior, Givenchy, Celine and Fendi and positions Rihanna as a breakthrough designer on a number of levels The move is a formal acknowledgment from the establishment that a multi-hyphenate pop star/actress/image-maker now has as much global currency, name-recognition and (yes) influence as designers like Hedi Slimane and Nicolas Ghesquière That there is no need to limit them to the street or sportswear world And that growth in the luxury industry may no longer come just from reinventing old heritage names, but by embracing a new diverse, digital, direct communication-enabled reality The brand, whose logo features a graphic representation of Fenty that resembles a Greek key design, as well as the name in white letters against a blue background with a reversed "N," will be based in Paris, include ready-to-wear, shoes and accessories, and "is centered on Rihanna, developed by her, and takes shape with her vision," according to a statement from LVMH It is, in other words, the first brand of the Instagram age supported by one of the three big groups that have defined the global luxury era "Designing a line like this with LVMH is an incredibly special moment for us," Rihanna, 31, said in the statement "Mr Arnault has given me a unique opportunity to develop a fashion house in the luxury sector, with no artistic limits I couldn't imagine a better partner both creatively and business-wise, and I'm ready for the world to see what we have built together "The news of a deal between LVMH and Rihanna, whose full name is Robyn Rihanna Fenty, was originally leaked in January, but this is the first time either party has spoken about their agreement It marks an evolution in the celebrity-style synergy, which has progressed from one-off collaborations (Selena Gomez and Coach) to longer term deals between sports brands and stars (Beyoncé and Adidas) to, now, the sort of brand that Emilio Pucci built "Everybody knows Rihanna as a wonderful singer, but through our partnership at Fenty Beauty, I discovered a true entrepreneur, a real C EO and a terrific leader," Bernard Arnault, the chairman of LVMH, said in the statement, referring to the partnership Fenty has had with LVMH since 2017 to create and distribute its beauty line "She naturally finds her full place within LVMH," he continued
"To support Rihanna to start up the Fenty Maison, we have built a talented and multicultural team supported by the Group resources " The Group resources are notably large — LVMH reported first quarter revenues in April of 12 5 billion euros ($141 billion), an increase of 16 percent — and the emphasis on "multicultural," in a time when many luxury brands are suffering from charges of cultural insensitivity and discrimination, is significant LVMH has been making strides in recent years to right the gender balance in luxury, appointing the first female designers of Givenchy in 2017 and Dior in 2016 It has also begun to address the need for diversity, naming Virgil Abloh as the first African-American to head Louis Vuitton men's wear in 2018 Fenty, however, has made inclusivity of all kinds — size, race, gender identity — part of its identity from the beginning Founded in 2016 under an agreement with Puma, which was then owned by the LVMH rival Kering (the brand was originally called Fenty x Puma), Fenty had its debut at New York Fashion Week before moving to Paris for two seasons and unexpectedly charming the normally suspicious French fashion world with the kind of clothes that, she said at the time, "Marie Antoinette would wear if she was going to the gym "In 2017, it returned to New York for a show at the Park Avenue Armory that featured freestyle motocross racers zooming around a runway and doing tricks over mounds of sparkly pink sand, demonstrating that when it comes to spectacle (and LVMH loves a fashion show spectacle), Rihanna can hold her own with any marketing machine Last year she expanded the line to lingerie with Savage x FentyA Behind the Scenes Look at Rihanna's Fenty x Puma Show26 PhotosView Slide Show ›Though she has not shown ready-to-wear on the runway since September 2017, there is no reason to expect the new version of Fenty will be significantly different from the old, though presumably it will benefit from the manufacturing and materials savoir-faire of LVMH In other words, expect haute streetwear of many sizes and shadesBoth parties declined to comment further on the plans for a show or stores, but the inclusion of a website — fenty com — in the statement suggested that the focus, for the beginning at least, would be digital, yet another departure for a group that practically invented the concept of the flagship as brand temple LVMH's first foray into original couture, Lacroix, did not end too well; it sold the brand in 2005, and the name is now largely associated with an unrelated sparkling water Whether this story will rewrite the playbook of luxury remains to be seen But the first chapter is about to begin

Rare mechanical automaton sold for £9,000
By Kirsty Topping -
A rare working automaton of a black man smoking a cigarette was sold at auction today for £9,125.
Valued at £1-1500 the piece made six times its estimate at Lyon & Turnbull's auction house, and was bought by an anonymous internet bidder.
The automaton was made by famous Frenchmen Vichy and dates from the period 1860 to 1910 which is known as "The Golden Age of Automata".
The piece sold for six times its estimate
Lee Young Specialist at Lyon & Turnbull said "Apart from people in the saleroom we had over 5 phone bidders, but they were all pipped at the post by someone on the internet.
"He is very collectible, especially as it dates from the period between 1860 and 1910 when many small family based companies of Automata makers thrived in Paris. From their workshops they exported thousands of clockwork automata and mechanical singing birds around the world.
"It is these French automata that are collected today, although now rare and expensive they attract collectors worldwide. The main French makers were Vichy, Roullet & Decamps, Lambert, Phalibois, Renou and Bontems."
The Black Smoker automaton in the sale has mechanical movement to the eyes, mouth and neck.
Gustave Vichy was born in 1839 to a Parisian watch and clock maker Antoine Michel who, along with his wife, set up the Vichy company in 1862 with the aim of building and selling clocks, mechanical objects and toys.
"In 1866, Gustave took over the company and dedicated his time almost entirely to developing automata while his wife, a seamstress, dressed the figures.
"The Vichy company became part of a group of family businesses that thrived in Paris between 1860 and 1910 and known as the "Golden Age of Automata".
"Gustave had great success producing advertising automata and one of his models won the Grand Prix at the Great Exhibition of 1900, the only award given to automata or mechanical toys.
"His son Henry gradually took control of the firm, incorporating Lioret phonograph mechanisms into some automaton models, which were advertised as being able to sing, speak and play musical instruments.

Pacers dominate Bobcats inside, win 103-76
By Associated Press January 15, 2013 9:48 PM
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) Roy Hibbert had 18 points and seven rebounds, and the Indiana Pacers handed the Charlotte Bobcats their 13th straight home loss with a 103-76 victory Tuesday night.
The Pacers bounced back from Sunday's 11-point defeat to the Brooklyn Nets and won for the fifth time in six games.
With team owner Michael Jordan looking on from the bench, the Bobcats lost their fifth in a row. They've dropped 24 of 26 since Thanksgiving.
Indiana won this one going away behind some dominant inside play, outrebounding the Bobcats 60-31 and outscoring them 52-22 in the paint, once again exposing Charlotte's problems down low.
Paul George had 16 points and 10 rebounds, while David West added 15 points and eight rebounds for the Pacers. George Hill chipped in with 16 points and seven rebounds.
Chris Simms doesn't think the Redskins should lock in on Chase Young with the No. 2 pick
By Ethan Cadeaux January 29, 2020 12:59 PM
It's been widely presumed by Redskins fans, draft experts and many others across the league that Washington is expected to use the No. 2 overall pick in the NFL Draft on Ohio State edge rusher Chase Young.
The 20-year-old is considered a generational talent and one of the best prospects in recent memory. Dwayne Haskins has vowed for the Burgundy and Gold to draft his Ohio State teammate. Derrius Guice has tweeted it too.
But NBC Sports analyst Chris Simms is not sure that's the move the right move for the Redskins come April's draft.
"I don't think Chase Young is a lock for the Washington Redskins," Simms said.
Entering the 2019 season, the defensive line was expected to be the strongest position group for the Burgundy and Gold. But the unit, like many others on the team, failed to meet the lofty expectations, and the entire defense struggled as a whole.
But the group is still full of talent. Ryan Kerrigan, should he return in 2020, has been one of the NFL's premier pass rushers since he entered the league in 2011. Washington invested a first-round pick on Montez Sweat a year ago, and the team hopes he can make a large impact in Year 2.
On the interior, Jonathan Allen and Daron Payne are first-rounders that have become staples upfront. Matt Ioannidis was named a Pro Bowl alternate in 2019 and is under contract for two more years.
"The Redskins defensive line is real already," Simms said. "Do they want to put another asset in there? You just got a rookie first-rounder in Montez Sweat. Ryan Kerrigan is still there. You got the Alabama boys in the middle with [Jonathan] Allen and Daron Payne. That's a pretty good front four."
The Redskins defensive struggles in 2019 can be attributed to the scheme former defensive coordinator Greg Manusky ran. The 3-4 system he installed had plenty of moving parts, as multiple players complained about the complexity of the system. Kerrigan and Sweat, who are best served getting after the quarterback, were often dropping back in coverage.
New defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio is shifting the unit back to a 4-3 base, which fits the personnel the Redskins currently have much better. Del Rio's scheme is simple and allows players to play fast and to their strengths, something the Redskins defense never did under Manusky.
One of the weaker units on the defense is at cornerback. Quinton Dunbar emerged as a star in 2019, but the Redskins need a solid cornerback on the opposite side of him. Simms thinks Washington would be wise to trade back and maybe select a cover corner later in the first round.
"If I'm the Redskins, I'm thinking about maybe using my assets to strengthen other parts of my team," Simms said. "Maybe you trade down and get a really good cover corner, something like that."
The draft has multiple cornerbacks that are expected to go in the first round, such as Ohio State's Jeffery Okudah, Florida's CJ Henderson, Alabama's Trevon Diggs, and LSU's Kristian Fulton, among others.
Simms does not question Young's talent, and there's no doubt selecting the pass rusher would improve the Redskins defense. But he believes trading down, getting extra picks, and addressing other needs on the team could be the best way for Washington to attack to draft.
"Chase Young is special. He's every bit in that discussion of being that guy to come off the board at No. 2," Simms said. "I just wonder if it's the right fit for the Washington Redskins. I don't know about that."

Where is government when you need it?
Posted on September 17, 2021 by Neil Garfield
In practice, the current foreclosure practices, which violate substantive, procedural, and evidentiary law at every turn represent a form of extortion upon the American homeowner. Government agencies continue to ignore the obvious and outright deceit and trickery involved in the sale of securities that do not sell loans, and the foreclosure of loans that no longer exist.
Why must consumers, with the least resources and the least access to relevant information, be required to litigate for months or years before the court acknowledges that the suit should never have been brought in the first instance?
SIGN UP FOR FORECLOSURE DEFENSE WEBINAR FOR LAWYERS (HOMEOWNERS ALLOWED)
The law in all U.S. jurisdictions is that a condition precedent to filing any enforcement of any mortgage lien is that the claimant must be a creditor who has paid value for the underlying obligation. In virtually all of the thousands of cases in which homeowners have prevailed in court, it was because the claimant could not introduce credible evidence that this had occurred.
The government is tasked with the distribution of accurate information. It has previously entered into settlements with companies who admitted to using fake documents and who promised to stop using fake documents. The accurate information is that these companies have been using fake documents with forged signatures for two decades and that those documents are not entitled to legal evidentiary presumptions. Such an announcement of policy from government agencies would end most foreclosures and force the parties into a settlement.
If claimants have not paid value for the alleged underlying obligation then their receipt of foreclosure proceeds is a windfall — possibly subject to other contractual obligations and possibly not. Most investigations post-sale revealed that the claimant never received any part of the sales proceeds from foreclosure sales.
In the mythology propagated by Wall Street banks, the bending and breaking of the laws that are explicit and express (UCC 9-203 and Federal TILA Rescission) is excused under the erroneous assumption that someone who paid value for the debt will get paid through foreclosure. Nobody has ever presented evidence to that effect.
The current policy unfairly delegates the burden of challenging illegal behavior entirely to homeowners who lack the resources and knowledge to do so and who are presently coerced into giving up the largest investment of their lives and their lifestyle to players who enjoy outsize profits in the process of foreclosure.

ANON, on September 17, 2021 at 11:18 am said:
This is a taboo subject by the government. They made decisions over a decade ago, and will never re-visit. The determination was — these loans were not qualifying loans, and shall not be treated as same. They did not tell us — well, if not qualifying loans — what kind of loan was it? The government will not fix the fraud of the past. They left homeowners to fend for themselves, and they watch the courts toss them – over and over and over again. Watched last night's show. Excellent, but Neil is also correct here — most do not have the means to spend time and money in courts. Past case law discourages attorneys from even taking cases even when homeowner can pay. And, who does nothing about this? The same party who covered-up. The Government.
Charles Reed, on September 17, 2021 at 11:11 am said:
Let take the 20,000 Dept of VA loans foreclosed in 2010, before they were underwritten for the HAMP and VA HAMP as what was required in the Jan 8, 2010, VA Circular 26-10-02 that said the loan "must" underwritten before a foreclosure could be considered!
Understand that over 96% of all VA loans are placed into the banks Ginnie Mae MBS which all loans must have Blank endorsed mortgage Notes that are relinquished to Ginnie that transfers the ownership of the Notes. Once the Blank Notes are transfer there not transferring them as there was no sale of debt when initially transferring.
There no statue of limitation agreement because it says that you cannot foreclose until you perform both the HAMP & VA HAMP. The loans are no longer owned by the originator and must under UCC9 provide proof of purchase to the court!


The above video is a short film by Tina Flemmerer on the occasion of the 30th year of the Opera Foundation, showing out programs in Berlin, Munich and Torino.
Celebrating 30 years of supporting young American opera singers abroad.
The purpose of the Opera Foundation is to support young American singers abroad and build cross-cultural bridges between the United States and other important opera supporting countries. The Foundation provides professional scholarships and study grants to qualified young American singers between the ages of 18 and 30. Since 1987, highly competitive auditions have been held annually to award these scholarships to pre-selected applicants. Currently up to four emerging young artists are chosen every year and placed with our overseas partners: Deutsche Oper Berlin, Teatro Regio di Torino, and Die Bayerische Staatsoper in Munich.
Over the years, the Foundation's supporters have expanded to include individuals and corporations from all over the world, drawing from the rich cultural and corporate diversity of New York City and its environment. It is the Opera Foundation's goal to continue expanding its scholarship activities where it believes it can make a difference in the development of young opera talent, in the spirit of cultural exchange between the United States and beyond.
The above video is a short film about the first 25 years of Opera Foundation's programs at Deutsche Oper Berlin and Teatro Regio Torino since our founding in 1986. The film follows scholarship winners John Paul Huckle, Nathan De'Shon Myers and James J. Kee during their 10 month programs and includes testimonies from Maestro Gianandrea Noseda and one of our Founders, Soprano Karan Armstrong. The film by Tina Flemmerer is available from the Foundation by request.
The Opera Foundation was originally launched in 1986 as the American Berlin Opera Foundation. The first scholarship program was established in 1986 with the Deutsche Oper Berlin, thanks to the late Professor Götz Friedrich. In 2008, a second scholarship program was established with Teatro Regio Torino, thanks to Maestro Gianandrea Noseda and the generous support of Amber Capital. In 2012, we announced a 3rd scholarship program with the Bayerische Staatsoper in Munich, generously supported by the Eklund / Dupire family. The Foundation has awarded more than 50 scholarships since inception, including study grants for voice coaching and linguistic purposes. The Opera Foundation is proud in the fact that many of its young artists have gone on to build long lasting careers in the operatic world beyond our programs. Over the years, the Foundation's supporters have expanded to include individuals and corporations from all over the world, drawing from the rich cultural and corporate diversity of New York City and its environment. In 2006, the Foundation changed its name to The Opera Foundation, in recognition of its more diverse contributor base and expanding scholarship activities throughout the world.

Returning home to play in Texas
Record indicates that Skyler Ewing's great uncle died at the Alamo
(Reynaldo Holguin )
By Jerry Briggs / San Antonio Missions | April 12, 2019 9:28 PM
Missions backup catcher Skyler Ewing said he is happy to be playing on a professional baseball team in San Antonio, where his family apparently has quite a history.
Ewing said his grandmother has always told him that his seventh great uncle, James L. Ewing III, died in the battle of the Alamo.
"He was from Tennessee," Ewing said in an interview Friday afternoon. "He was with (Col. William B.) Travis. He was like his right-hand man. I'm pretty sure he was by his side, inside (the fortress), when he died.
"Travis was sick. Or, had been wounded. I can't remember which. But he was definitely in that back room (when he was killed)."
Records posted online at the Texas State Historical Association identified a James L. Ewing of Tennessee as a defender of the Alamo.
According to the website, James Ewing was born in Tennessee in 1812 and "took part in the siege of Bexar."
"Ewing died in the battle of the Alamo on March 6, 1836," according to his bio posted on the site.
And now, all these years later, Skyler Ewing is playing baseball for the San Antonio Missions?
"A bit ironic, right?" Ewing said.
Ewing grew up in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, where he was a star at Arlington High School.
He continued his career at Rice University, where he was a standout under legendary coach Wayne Graham.
The Giants drafted Ewing out of Rice in the sixth round of the 2014 draft. Ewing described Graham as "an unbelievable" mentor.
"He taught me a lot about being a man," Ewing said. "(About) being mentally strong. That was kind of his deal as a coach. He would test certain guys. He knew how to push certain individuals.
"He'd have two or three negs (to say to you) and right when you didn't think you could handle it, he'd give you something positive. If there's anything to take away from that, it's to be mentally strong."
The advice has come in handy.
Released twice early last season, once by the Braves organization and once by the Marlins, Ewing's professional baseball career was clearly in jeopardy.
But he signed with an independent team in Florence, Kentucky, and had a big year, batting .300 and cranking out 16 home runs.
The move clearly paid dividends, as he agreed to terms in the offseason with the Milwaukee Brewers.
"I played with the Florence Freedom," the 26-year-old Ewing said Thursday. "They're in the Frontier League. I had a couple of other offers. But it was the best fit for me. I wanted to go play every day, and I wanted catch. I felt in my heart that I could still play, and I wanted to show that."
Making the Missions' roster is a milestone achievement in Ewing's career. Up until this season, he's never played about the Double-A level.
"It's a great feeling," he said.
At the same time, playing time could be hard to find this year. Jacob Nottingham is the team's No. 1 catcher. Tuffy Gosewisch started Friday night. Ewing, who is 0 for 3 in one game so far, has been given no guarantees.
Asked how he fits in with the team in the long term, he said, "Umm, that's a tough question. I kind of do what they tell me and stay ready. If you stay ready, you don't necessarily have to get ready. So that's kind of my mentality
"Help out where I can and be ready."
Regardless, Ewing said he is happy to be playing on a team in San Antonio, in his home state.
"I remember going to the (river) walk when I was younger," he said. "It's good to be back in Texas. It's a different feeling when you cross that line. San Antonio is a fun town. Seventh largest city in the country.
"It's big. Just like everything else in Texas."


The start point of this residential house's design was a sloped site — the house was planned as a dialogue between architecture and landscape.
Approaching to the house's entrance will make you feel a small dynamic volume. But when you enter the hall there is a real sense of space. Two-storey hall, numerous translucent apertures create an impression about house's structure.
Internal space extends along two stretched volumes highlighting different functions and levels of privacy. The house faces the area and represents an elaborate space spatial structure which creates a comfortable and quality accommodation for several generations.
A typical forest environment and nearness to nature have prompted the idea of a facade design. The house is "wrapped" by a wooden bar that allows fitting a surrounding background. The roof made of a high-quality metal is combined with a warm wooden facade that complements the image and makes it more dynamic.
The panoramic roof windows "flowing" over the walls of the house, create a maximum light and visually dissect an extended monolithic flat of the roof, making composition stops.
The core idea of the house is an untraditional planning structure — the main entrance is on the second floor and it leads right to the bedroom. But this feature doesn't make a private space — children's wing is separated from the common hall by a personal one. It allows creating a private ambiance.
The space of the main bedroom was solved according to the same principle. The ceiling's height is variable which enriches an inner space of the house.

Pro Racing is Back!
by Swami's Cycling Club | posted in: Events, News | 0
It's been more than 20 weeks since cycling's World Tour was halted due to COVID-19. The UCI and race organizers have since created a revised calendar that crams seven months of racing into three, and comes with a 15-page UCI document that establishes a health and safety protocol for all involved, much like what is being attempted in other sports.
At long last, we witnessed top-tier professional racing on August 1 with both the men's and women's editions of the grueling Strade Bianche, which took place on tarmac and gravel roads in Tuscany. Milan-San Remo was held on August 8 with 305 km of racing – its longest distance ever — and in record heat. The Critérium du Dauphiné is going on now through August 16.

When people ask me whether I prefer summer or winter I really struggle to reply. I love sunshine, being tanned, bright summer evenings and wearing sunglasses but I also love being warm inside the house when the evenings draw in earlier, wearing huge scarves and most of all buying a new winter coat and boots.
This year I feel like I have received more emails than ever before of super deals from literally all of my favourite shops which makes life exceedingly hard when I am sat at work checking my emails - my wage is spent before it even arrives!
I've devised a list of my top 5 current favourites to help you make an informed boot-buying decision, (pair number 1 will be mine when I take advantage of my sister's student status at the Leeds Trinity student lock-in this Tuesday).
I reckon my choices are all pretty love or hate, so what do you think?
Love your choice dolly, great booties!

Getting ready for retirement is one of life's most important milestones. After working for your entire life, it is time to focus on your comfort and enjoyment. The first thing you need to decide is where you want to live. If Nashville is on your list, you're on the right track.
Nashville, situated in Tennessee, is widely considered to be one of the most tax-friendly places to live for retirees. Tennessee is one of the few states that does not tax wages, so you can stretch your retirement income further. Public and private pensions are also not taxed.
You may also be eligible for property tax relief. Seniors who retire in Nashville and make less than $29,270 per year can apply for a property tax relief program through the city's trustee office. For seniors making less than $41,780 per year, you can freeze your property tax rate at whatever the rate is at time of purchase. At the time of this article, the Davidson County property tax rate is $3.155 per $100 of assessed value in the Urban Services District, and $2.755 per $100 in the General Services District. Your real estate agent can help you determine which district you would be in as you search for new homes. The Kelton Group has a SRES ( Senior Real Estate Specialist) on the team and would happy to help. You reach the Kelton Group at 615.200.6260.
The Greater Nashville Area Agency on Aging provides funding for 17 different senior centers in the metropolitan area. Senior centers can serve as a place for you to go for ongoing activities such as exercise classes or creative art classes. A senior center could be a great place for you to meet new friends and discover a new hobby.
For seniors with chronic diseases or other ailments, access to healthcare is understandably a top concern. Nashville has many hospitals and healthcare centers for seniors to choose from. The city's three biggest health-care providers – Vanderbilt University Medical Center, HCA TriStar and St. Thomas Health – have earned accolades nationally for their high level of patient care and safety.
Not all seniors are looking to buy a home for their retirement, and if you fit into this category Nashville is still a great option for you.
If independence is important to you, but you do not want to deal with maintenance and other home responsibilities, an active adult living community could be an ideal choice for you. These communities are reserved for people 55 years of age or older, and many offer amenities including pools, fitness centers, cooking classes and transportation. Living in a 55-plus community often includes extra fees, which your real estate agent can help walk you through.
There are also 21 assisted living facilities in Nashville proper and 25 more in the surrounding towns. Assisted living facilities are a great option for seniors who need help with activities of daily living – which can include bathing, dressing, managing medications or keeping up with general housework.
If you are considering relocating or retiring in Nashville please contact The Kelton Real Estate Group for a phone call or consultation at 615.200.6260.


In one study, Russian scientists conducted two randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials of 6-months and 24-months duration, with eye drops consisting of a one percent aqueous solution of N-Acetyl-Carnosine (NAC) administered as two drops twice daily. (1) They treated a total of 49 elderly patients (average age 65) with cataracts ranging in severity from minimal to advanced (but not to the point of requiring surgery); the total number of eyes affected was 76. Using a variety of sophisticated optical techniques, they monitored the condition of the cataracts, visual acuity, and glare sensitivity.
The eyes treated with N-Acetyl-Carnosine were substantially improved in 6 months: the measured transmissivity of the lenses increased in 42 percent of the eyes, by 12-50 percent; in 90 percent of the eyes, visual acuity improved by 7-100 percent; and in 89 percent of the eyes, glare sensitivity improved by 27-100 percent. These improvements were sustained for the duration of the 24-month trial. In no eyes was any worsening of the condition seen. By contrast, the condition of the untreated eyes in the control group worsened. Visual acuity dropped in 89 percent of the controls by 17-80 percent after 24 months.


Our relationship with The Johnston Team spans several years, as we (on again, off again) struggled with the decision of downsizing and selling our home of over 30 years.
The Johnston's were patient and supportive throughout the process; always available; never pressing; and always professional in their advice related to the Barrie market.
When the decision was finally made, the transaction was handled with their hallmark grace and professionalism.
Thank you Karen, Robert and Matt.
By the way, the video tour was wonderful and Matthew and the film crew did a great job. The tools real estate agents have now to support their business and make their job a little easier are fantastic. What a difference 20 or so years can make!
You can be sure we will spread the word and we have already done so......"if you want results call the Professionals...... call The Johnston Team for your Real Estate needs".
To the Johnston Family and team, Greg and I want to thank you all for the incredible job you did in selling our house professionally and quickly. Your years of experience and advice helped us to feel at ease through the whole selling process. We knew that we wanted the Johnston team to sell our house again after the wonderful job you did selling our first home.
We really appreciate everything you have done for us and you all genuinely care. It was a smooth, quick transaction. We recommend to everyone to the Johnston Team!
As far as your service, we could not have asked for more. The house was advertised professionally and shown many times and at the time we felt we extracted as much as we could get out of it dollarwise. Thanks!
I know you didn't ask me to write you this letter but I wanted to because I wanted to thank-you for selling our house, and in nine days too! We didn't even have the time to get a photographer in here and we are more than thrilled in a softening real estate market to be on our way. You have helped us out of a difficult situation and we are so absolutely thrilled with the offer that you negotiated on our behalf.
Some people might be upset about paying such a high commission and for work that was only done in matter of a week. However, last Spring, we listed with a different agent and it was a waste of time (4 months of it) with over thirty exhausting showings and nothing but a few low ball offers.
With you, I felt taken care of, even cared for. We thought you were professional, easy to talk to, quick and efficient and had our best interests at heart the entire way through. You even wanted to keep negotiating when we were happy with what you brought us!
If anyone is wondering whether they should list with you, all I can say is that I wish we would have listed with you in the first place. It was well worth it! Thank-you for selling our house. Thank-you for caring.
I just wanted to thank you for the wonderful job you did selling our house at 40 Copeman. We moved into the Newmarket home on Wednesday, finally concluding the moving process we started with back in March when you both came to visit us.
Your guidance, advise, and friendship were very much appreciated during the throughout process. We sold in less time and for more money that we had anticipated - you definitely exceeded our expectations in everyway. Your recommendation of Bob Luery was also 'spot-on'. He was very comforting to work with and did a great job finding us a home we are very pleased with.
Laura and I wish you and the entire Johnston team all the best in the future. We will be sure to strongly recommend you to anyone we encounter selling or buying in the Barrie area.
To the Johnston Family with special thoughts for Matt & Robert: Words can not express our thoughts and appreciation for what you have done to help us achieve finding and making it possible for us to have the home we dreamed of.
Two simple words seem so inadequate; but, we express them from our heart. THANK YOU!
Just a quick note to thank you so very much for the gift basket. We were over the moon and your generosity just confirms why we continually come to you whenever we need help in moving. It is the way that you treat us and your other customers like family that makes you so well liked.
Our experience was very positive and we would not hesitate to recommend your services. Thank you!
I want to drop you a quick note to say thank you very much! Not only did the Johnston Team once again work very hard to sell my house and help me find my new home, you offered advice, guidance and are great to work with!
Please pass my appreciation on to the whole team at the office. Thank you again, and I will always recommend you to anyone I know. All the best!
We just wanted to take the time (now that we have found a little after the move) to say thanks so much. We are loving our new home, (I do miss Knicely at times but not so much now!) and the space is exactly what we had hoped it would be for our family. Loon is a perfect fit for us and thanks so much for doing all you did to ensure a smooth transaction for us. Matthew a big thanks to you for keeping an eye on it and for getting in touch with us again when the price became more manageable! I continuously tell people what a great job your team has done for us during both our purchases and the selling of the first. I highly recommend the Johnston Team.
When our family decided to move to Barrie, and we had selected the style, price and location of our next home, we realized the "Johnston Team" had 8 of 11 listings for the homes we wanted to view which suggested to us they must be one of the best. Upon our first introduction, the Johnstons made us feel very comfortable by educating us on the local housing market, shopping/entertainment/tourist amenities, and the future growth plans of Barrie which would impact the purchase and future sale of the home we chose. Through the entire transaction from the introduction, viewing, negotiating, purchase and closing, the Johnstons made us feel they always had our best interest in mind. That is why we have completed 4 transactions in less than 5 years with the "Johnston Team" and would highly recommend them to any one looking to buy or sell their first or next home.
I have enjoyed the time i've spent with you and have appreciated your knowledge, honesty and respect. I look forward to working with you all again the next time I move. I plan to continue praising your work and friendliness to my friends. Thanks again!
Thanks again for getting my rental property at 223 Cook Street sold last February. I am glad I did not hold out for a higher price and wait for the spring market.
We would wish to take this opportunity to thank you both very much for the quick sale of our home! We would also like to express our gratitude for your extreme professionalism, and for your ability to make us feel comfortable during a time which can generally be quite stressful. Once again thank you for a job well done! We would not hesitate to recommend your top-notch services to those who are thinking of selling their home.
Thanks again for all your help, hard work & dedication with regard to the sale of our home. It was a pleasure dealing with you both and we will keep you in mind in the future if we ever decide to sell again. Your thoughtfulness is very much appreciated & thanks again for a job well done and your professionalism.
What else could we say, but hands down you're the best! You're very professional people and we are so glad we got to know you! Thanks for everything!
Thank you for all your hard work in getting us in our dream home. If and when we have to do this again, you will be the "team" that we contact. Thank you for all your patience.
Just a note to say "thank you' so very much for all the help you were to me in selling my little cottage. I remember so well sitting down with you both and signing the listing paper which started me on the journey after 42 years on the lake. You guided me every step of the way and made this life-altering decision both interesting and easy and there is no question that you were certainly the right people, at the right time, for me. Thanks to you, to Matthew and the whole team who were so helpful and answered all my questions so readily - they were just so nice to talk to.

On 29th November, Republic World (and others) reported that Hong Kong customs had seized nearly 540 tonnes of suspected smuggled frozen meat in the largest such seizure in the last 10 years. The seizure was made on 4 fishing vessels. It is noted that, after the outbreak of swine flu fever among the pigs of China, meat prices in the country have hit a record time high, making meat smuggling more profitable than any other time in the past.

US CUSTOMS CRACKDOWN ON FORCED LABOUR IMPORTS
An article in the latest edition of US Customs and Border Protection's "Frontline" magazine warns importers to be watchful about the source of their merchandise, saying that importers receive their commodities at the end of long supply chains that can originate anywhere in the world — in many cases regions where oversight is lax or even non-existent. Giving (often scary) examples, the article concedes that, for lots of merchandise and agricultural products, tracing supply chains to suspected forced labour can be challenging. In many cases the chain ends at a legitimate producer who buys raw material possibly moved through multiple countries to hide the supply trail. Other times, products are fabricated by several subcontractors, making it difficult for importers to know if forced labour played a role in their business – like a river fed by tributaries upon tributaries, there's often no single source, it says. While victims can be found almost anywhere — even in the US, it says — most of the indentured work is found in Asia, Africa and Latin America. 75 countries, including China, Russia, Thailand and India, are among the nations where forced labour exists, according to the US Department of Labor. Anyone can report suspicious shipments to the port director or the commissioner or through the e-allegation portal at https://eallegations.cbp.gov

THE GROWING DIVIDE BETWEEN ISRAELI AND INTERNATIONAL COURTS ON THE STATUS OF ISRAELI SETTLEMENTS IN THE WEST BANK
An article on Lawfare on 27th November examined 2 judgments handed down just days apart — one by the Israeli Supreme Court and the other by the European Court of Justice — which highlight a growing jurisprudence divide between Israeli and international courts on the status of Israeli settlements in the West Bank. The Israeli Supreme Court continues to maintain the constitutionality of laws equating boycotts of settlements to boycotts of the country as a whole, but the ECJ ruled that settlement products must be labelled clearly, so that consumers can make an informed choice on whether to buy them. It also notes that Israeli law bans BDS activists from the country (BDS is the movement to boycott, divest from and sanction Israel) and that a 2011 law imposes civil tort liability and various administrative sanctions on boycott activists, including allowing the government to deny activists certain subsidies and to bar them from obtaining government contracts.

EU FOLLOWS US LEAD ON AML CONTROLS FOR CRYPTOCURRENCIES: KEY DIFFERENCES IDENTIFIED
On 30th November, an article in the Coin Telegraph said that in January 2020, the regulatory landscape for crypto businesses will completely change in the EU in comparison with the last decade, as the 5th Money Laundering Directive shall be transposed into the national legislation of each EU Member State by 10th January. It notes that it was in 2013 that FinCEN in the US introduced an interpretive guidance for cryptocurrency industry participants, mainly exchangers and administrators. The article poses 2 questions – what should we learn from this long-standing experience? What should we expect from the regulation of the EU market as compared to the US? It then identifies the key differences between the AML controls in the US and the EU.

TRACING EUROPEAN ARMS USED IN OPPRESSION AND HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS
On 29th November, Bellingcat reported on its EU Arms Project, a collaboration project which has documented, using open source, how European countries and companies have breached their own, and international, laws dozens of times. It has documented where European arms end up after their export licences have been granted. It reports that the latest project shows where Spain has approved export licences for arms sold to countries such as Saudi Arabia, Morocco, and Nicaragua, and how those arms have been used in the facilitation of oppression or human rights violations.

Kirishima Volcano - John Seach
(Kirishimayama, Kirisima)
31.93 N, 130.87 E
summit elevation 1700 m
Shield volcano
Kirishima is one of Japan's most active volcanoes.
Kirishima is a group of 20 volcanoes located north of Kagoshima Bay.
Volcanoes include Takachihonomine, Nakadake, Ohatayama, Karakunidake, Tairoike, Ohachi, and Shinmoedake.
The volcanoes cover an area occupying an area of about 20 x 30 km elongated in the NW-SE direction. Solfatara are located on North slope of the Karakunidake.
An annual geomagnetic variation at Kirishima volcano is caused by seasonal changes in the near-surface heterogeneous magnetization due to a diffusion of atmospheric temperature change into the ground.
Eruptions at Ohachi
Katazoe scoria eruption in Ohachi volcano has erupted three types of magma, each magma composition are Basalt, Basaltic-andesite and Andesite. The magma chamber in Katazoe eruption was estimated to be at shallow depth 1000-2000 bar. In 1800's and 1900's, eruptions from Ohachi, at Kirishima volcano was similar to current day eruptions at Sakurajima Volcano, based on paintings. Ohachi Volcano has erupted repeatedly and explosively in the 1800's and early 1900's, producing ash fall over a wide area. Injury and death have resulted to hikers, hunters, who were near the crater. Many hikers and tourists still visit the Ohachi Volcano.
Geothermal Activity
Hydrogen sulphide springs, acidic sulphate springs and chloride springs are found in geographically narrow zone at Kirishima volcano. Bicarbonate springs are distributed in the Shinkawa ravine and the Hinatayama-Himegi region, both of which are on the southwestern side of the Kirishima volcanic area.
2018 Eruption
Eruptions continued at Shinmoedake, in the Kirishima volcano group in 2018.
2016 Unrest
Volcanic earthquakes increased at Kirishima volcano in February 2016. A 1-km radius exclusion zone was placed around the crater.
An eruption occurred at Kirishima volcano, Japan on 26th January 2011. Some residents evacuated their homes from a town located 7 km from the crater at Shinmoe-dake. The eruption forced the cancellation of train services on the JR Nippo Main Line between Tano and Kokubu stations, on the Nichinan Line between Aoshima and Shibushi stations, and on the Kitto Line. Part of the Miyazaki Expressway remained closed off due to poor visibility. The eruption produced lava fountains, lava flows and ash emissions. Ash emissions reached a height of 25,000 ft.
A magnitude 6.0 earthquake with a focus of 28km occurred 60 km east of Kirishima volcano on 5th April 2009.
A Vulcanian eruption began at Shinmoedake stratovolcano on 22nd August 2008. ash fell 25 km from the volcano, including Kobayashi City, 10 km NE.
2003-04 Unrest
Seismic activity increased at Kirishima volcano in December 2003. New fumarole pits were found at Ohachi Crater.
1999 Earthquakes
An earthquake swarm occurred under Kirishima volcano in November 1999.
Minor ash emissions occurred from the summit crater of Shinmoedake.
In late 1991 earthquake swarm were recorded and a steam explosion in Shinmoe-dake crater, which is one of the most active craters in the volcano group during the past a few thousand years.
1979 Sulphur flow
A 50 m long, 10 cm wide, sulphur flow occurred in early 1979.
1903 Eruptions
On 25th November 1903 there was a great explosion reported.
In 1900 eruptions at Kirishima volcano occurred on 16th February.
An eruption occurred at Kirishima volcano on 28th July 1899 at 1:30 am, with a loud explosion.
In 1898 eruptions occurred at Kirishima volcano on 8th February, 11th March, and 30th December. The March eruption was the loudest.
Eruptions occurred on 4th September.
On 15th March 1896 an eruption at Kirishima volcano produced a loud explosion, emission of smoke and ashfall. On 26th June, an explosion was reported with emissions of smoke and ash. On 21st December and explosion and ash emission occurred.
During 1895 there were eruptions reported on 16th July, 16th October, and 18th December, with explosions and emissions of smoke. The December eruption was described as the loudest.
Kirishima Volcano Eruptions
2018, 2017, 2011, 2008, 1992, 1979, 1971, 1959, 1946?, 1923, 1914, 1913-14, 1903, 1899-1900, 1898, 1898, 1897, 1896, 1895-96, 1894, 1891, 1889, 1888, 1887, 1880, 1832, 1822, 1771-72, 1769, 1768, 1719, 1717, 1716-17, 1716, 1706, 1690, 1678, 1677, 1667?, 1662-64, 1659-61, 1637-38, 1628, 1620, 1615-18, 1613-14, 1598-1600, 1596?, 1595, 1588, 1587, 1585, 1576-78, 1574, 1566, 1566, 1554, 1524, 1381, 1235, 1184, 1175?, 1167, 1113, 1112, 945, 858, 857, 843-48, 837-39, 788, 742.

← Is Your Air Conditioner Blowing Stinky Air?
When you set the thermostat of a heating, ventilation and air conditioning system, the unit heats or cools, and fans blow conditioned air into the living space. When the set point is reached, the heating or cooling function stops. However, thermostats have settings that control fans independently. With the "auto" setting, fans turn off when the air conditioner shuts off. With the "on" setting, fans run continuously. There are advantages and disadvantages to each setting. A Katy AC services professional can help you save energy and increase comfort by showing you how to adjust your thermostat.
Most thermostats allow you to control how long fans operate. On the auto setting, fans stay on throughout the heating or cooling cycle. When the desired temperature is reached, the unit and the fans stop. Fans use less energy on the auto setting because they only run when the furnace or air conditioner is on. In addition, fans last longer with fewer starts and stops.
The disadvantage is that no air circulates when fans are off. You may experience hot or cold spots in a room. However, hot and cold spots can also be a sign of other problems with your unit and may require Katy AC services. If uneven indoor temperatures cause discomfort, call a licensed Katy air conditioning repair company to investigate the issue.
Fans switched to the on function run continuously. When the desired temperature is reached, the heating or cooling component powers down. However, fans continue to run. Fans help keep air more evenly distributed. Indoor air quality devices, such as UV filters and air filters, continue to operate. There is less wear and tear on the fans with fewer starts and stops.
There are also disadvantages to running fans continuously. They use more power, resulting in higher utility bills. Air moving constantly through the system may cause air filters to clog up more frequently. During the winter, air blowing through registers feels cold when the furnace is not on. During the summer, rooms may feel more humid because fans do not remove moisture, an important issue in the humid climate of the Houston area.
New technology offers other options. Variable speed units respond to heating and cooling demands. Unlike standard units that are either on or off, these systems run at low power for longer periods when demand is low and power up when temperatures rise. This saves energy, reduces wear and tear on components and eliminates hot and cold spots in the living space.

Q: How to get a slice of tuples (hour, minute) I've got a problem that I couldn't resolve. I'm using https://github.com/kmanley/golang-tuple to create tuples.
I've got a list of minutes:
minutes := int{0, 30} // Minutes are 0 and 30

And a four parameters: start, startBreak, stop, stopBreak:
start := tuple.NewTupleFromItems(9, 30) // It represents "9:30"
startBreak := tuple.NewTupleFromItems(12, 0) // It represents "12:00"
stop := tuple.NewTupleFromItems(21, 0) // It represents "21:00"
stopBreak := tuple.NewTupleFromItems(14, 30) // It represents "14:30"

I want to get a slice of tuples (hour, minutes) using all the minutes in the minutes slice and they must not be included in the range startBreak-stopBreak (it can be equal to startBreak or stopBreak, so the range will become 12:30, 13:00, 13:30, 14:00) and stop-start (it can be equal to start and stop, so the range will become 21:30, 22:00, 22:30, ..., 8:30, 9:00).
For example, using those four parameters, the final result will be:
9:30, 10:00, 10:30, 11:00, 11:30, 12:00, 14:30, 15:00, 15:30, 16:00, 16:30, 17:00, 17:30, 18:00, 18:30, 19:00, 19:30, 20:00, 20:30, 21:00

A: Here is a minimal code that demonstrates this, I did not put any data validation.
func periods(minutes, start, startBreak, stopBreak, stop *tuple.Tuple) (out []tuple.Tuple) {

    // next() moves current to the next minute interval
    i := 0
    curr := tuple.NewTupleFromItems(start.Get(0), minutes.Get(0))
    next := func() {
        i = (i + 1) % minutes.Len()
        curr.Set(1, minutes.Get(i))
        if i == 0 {
            curr.Set(0, curr.Get(0).(int)+1)
        }
    }

    for ; curr.Le(stop); next() {
        if (curr.Ge(start) && curr.Le(startBreak)) || (curr.Ge(stopBreak) && curr.Le(stop)) {
            out = append(out, *curr.Copy())
        }
    }

    return out
}

AG Shapiro Sues Bucks County Wedding Venue For Scamming Newlyweds
January 27, 2020 | Topic: Consumers
HARRISBURG – Attorney General Josh Shapiro today announced that his Office has filed suit against the managing members of a Bucks County wedding and event venue — Lawrence Plummer Jr. and Karen Plummer — for accepting reservations and deposits without providing services.
The defendants operated The Barn at Forestville LLC at 1493 Forest Grove Road, Furlong, and offered the facility as an event/wedding venue plus offered related goods and services.
"The Plummers preyed upon people who were preparing for the most special day of their lives," Attorney General Shapiro said. "They vowed to deliver then stole down payments and deposits for weddings, operated an illegitimate business, violated a pre-existing agreement, violated local and state law, and took advantage of those who were acting in good faith."
Buckingham Township cited the defendants on Jan. 12, 2018, for, among other reasons, operating the barn without a zoning permit. Later that year, on April 6, the defendants entered an agreement with Buckingham Township to stop using the barn as an event/wedding venue by the following November. The Plummers proceeded to ignore their agreement and continue operations.
Buckingham Township sued, and the court, on Dec. 31, 2019, ordered the defendants to be permanently enjoined from providing the event/wedding venue to consumers for compensation at 1493 Forest Grove Road.
Shapiro's lawsuit claims the defendants made misrepresentations to consumers about their legal authority to provide goods and services. They also failed to provide goods and services after receiving deposits and down payments, and refused to refund money to consumers.
The lawsuit is seeking restitution, civil penalties, costs, and a permanent injunction that would forbid the defendants from engaging in event/wedding venue businesses or similar establishments anywhere throughout Pennsylvania.
Attorney General Shapiro said consumers who believe they were victimized by the Plummer's business practices should submit an online complaint with the Office of Attorney General's Bureau of Consumer Protection at www.attorneygeneral.gov/submit-a-complaint/consumer-complaint. Consumers can also call the Attorney General's Consumer Protection Hotline at 800-441-2555 or email at scams@attorneygeneral.gov.
This complaint is filed in the Bucks County Court of Common Pleas.

Prince Charles meets a Man Utd legend as he begins two day visit to Northern Ireland
Stephen Taylor
The Prince of Wales flew into Belfast to begin a two-day visit to Northern Ireland. The Duchess of Cornwall will join her husband tomorrow; the couple will then continue on to complete a two-day visit to the Republic of Ireland on Thursday.
Prince Charles's first engagement in the province was at Carlisle Memorial Church, which is currently undergoing extensive renovations. The north Belfast church closed in 1982 as congregation numbers shrank due to its proximity to the most troubled parts of Belfast. The Belfast Buildings Trust is now bringing it back to life and it is currently occupied by community representatives, faith groups and local entrepreneurs. The building is also to become the permanent home of the Ulster Orchestra.
The Prince was greeted by Belfast City Council's Lord Mayor, Deirdre Hargey, as well as other local dignitaries, including local MLAs William Humphrey of the DUP and Sinn Féin's Gerry Kelly and Carál Ni Chuilin.

It is a sign of how far the peace process has progressed that the heir-to-the-throne was able to shake hands with former IRA bomber Kelly, who escaped from the Maze Prison in 1983 while serving a jail sentence for the 1973 bombing of the Old Bailey; during the escape, a prison officer was shot dead. He was later a senior member of Sinn Fein's negotiating team and served as a minister in the powersharing Executive, which has been inactive since 2017.
During his visit to the church, Charles listened to a recital by Ulster Orchestra, and tasted beer and cheese made by local producers.

The Royal's next visit was to the Ulster University campus in Coleraine as part of its 50th anniversary celebrations. Members of the University staff, council members and the Ulster University choir welcomed the Prince as he arrived on the campus.
Prince Charles was then escorted to meet some of the sports organisations who work within the university and in and around the area, including Coleraine Strikers FC, a football team made up children with disabilities.
Manchester United legend, Harry Gregg, was also on hand to tell the prince about his foundation, which is based at the campus. Praising Charles for coming to Coleraine, Mr Gregg said The Queen's eldest son was very knowledgeable about his foundation. Harry Gregg was a member of the Manchester United team during the Munich Air Disaster; after escaping from the plane, Gregg returned to the blazing wreckage to rescue some of his team-mates. Harry Gregg is widely considered to be a hero, and many have been calling for the former footballer to receive a knighthood.
The prince also heard about Northern Ireland's first Enterprise Zone involving the campus and the local Council. The visit to the university, which has campus in four different parts of Northern Ireland, was concluded with the Prince planting a tree to commemorate his attendance at the celebrations.
Charles then planted a tree to mark the Ulster University's 50th anniversary in Coleraine (Clarence House)
Prince Charles then went onto Hillsborough Castle, where he met the leader of the Democratic Unionist Party and former First Minister Arlene Foster, and this evening hosted a reception to mark his visit, with people from all over Northern Ireland in attendance.
On Wednesday, The Prince of Wales will visit Omagh Hospital in Co. Tyrone and later, in the town of Omagh itself, Charles will be joined by The Duchess of Cornwall to meet those affected by the 1998 Real IRA bomb which killed 29 people, one of the worst atrocities of the Troubles, which occurred after the signing of the Good Friday Agreement.
