As South Africa adopts affirmative action policies, we profile some of the blacks who have overcome racial inequality. Half of South Africa's 30 million blacks live below the poverty line. Despite this depressing statistic, a few break the trend. Black millionaires! Having acquired his wealth during apartheid, businessman Richard Maponya is the richest black in the country. Emerging from his opulent villa he reflects on the turbulent times and his success in gatecrashing the horse racing set. Sam Tsima, winner of a 1988 study scholarship, is now the manager of the biggest bank in South Africa. Fighting for black rights, he teaches German twice a week to youngsters from Soweto. Many feel betrayed when rich blacks enjoy the spoils and move to wealthy suburbs. Yvonne Chaka-Chaka, singer and businesswoman, justifies her extravagant lifestyle as the result of dedication and hard work. Clapping and swaying to the music at a dinner-dance, she serenades the most successful of all black South Africans - Nelson Mandela.

Q: What is the best way in xonsh to loop over the lines of a file? What is the best way in the xonsh shell to loop over the lines of a text file?
(A) At the moment I'm using
for l in !(cat file.txt):
    line = l.strip()
    # Do something with line...

(B) Of course, there is also
with open(p'file.txt') as f:
    for l in f:
        line = l.strip()
        # Do something with line...

I use (A) because it is shorter, but is there anything even more concise? And preferably folding the l.strip() into the loop?
Note: My main interest is conciseness (in the sense of a small character count) - maybe using xonsh's special syntax features if that helps the cause.

A: You can fold str.strip() into the loop with map():
(A):
for l in map(str.strip, !(cat file.txt)):
    # Do something with line...

(B):
with open('file.txt') as f:
    for l in map(str.strip, f):
        # Do something with l..

A: Minimal character count could even involve relying on your python implementation to release the file at the end of execution, rather than doing it explicitly:
for l in map(str.strip, open('file.txt')):
    # do stuff with l

Or using the p'' string to make a path in xonsh (this does properly close the file):
for l in p'file.txt'.read_text().splitlines():
    # do stuff with l

splitlines() already removes the new line characters, but not other whitespace.

Accounting for not-for-profit organizations (NFPs) to prevent terrorist financing

Amutot, Foreign state entity, Market mechanism, Pigovian tax, Text mining.
This paper adopts a text mining approach to determine the concepts and operating process surrounding 'Amutot law[1]', for proposing a regulatory basis to account for financial flows of NFPs in U.S.A. Text mining result reveals that financial flows of charitable organizations can be monitored by making these NFPs to provide accurate information on contributions from foreign state entity and using accountants to monitor the nature of donations received by the organizations. Since Amutot law operates under market mechanisms, U.S government can gain substantial leverage to monitor terrorist financing channeled through various NFPs. This will also help protect the freedom to make contributions of American from diverse religious background.[1] Amutot is a regulatory document to account the financial flow of NFPs in Israel.

Terry Turner – Huntingdon
≈ Comments Off on Terry Turner – Huntingdon
Jail for man who sent explicit images to schoolboy
A former radio DJ and convicted paedophile who breached a court order by sending sexually explicit images to a schoolboy over social media has been jailed.
Terry Turner, (36), began talking to his victim, who was 14 at the time, in early 2020 after he had joined a social media platform.
Between 7 July and 8 November 2020, Turner mainly used WhatsApp to send six messages of a sexual nature as well as a total of 25 indecent images.
The matter was reported to police after the teenager aired his concerns and Turner was arrested.
Last week, Turner, of Ambury Road, Huntingdon, was sentenced at Peterborough Crown Court.
He had entered guilty pleas to charges of engaging in sexual communication with a child and three breaches of a Sexual Harm Prevention Order at a previous court hearing.
Turner was jailed for a total of two years, given a new Sexual Harm Prevention Order for 10 years and he was also given an indefinite restraining order.
Turner avoided prison in 2020, after he was caught in a police paedophile sting operation trying to meet a child for sex at a branch of Greggs
Radio DJ escaped jail despite being caught in a police paedophile sting operation
A radio DJ has escaped jail despite being caught in a police paedophile sting operation trying to meet a child for sex at a branch of Greggs.
Terry Turner, 34, was most recently presenting on Embrace Radio in Northamptonshire, and he had been a presenter on HCR 104fm in Huntingdon, Diesel City Radio in Peterborough and BCR in Bedford.
However in November, Turner began to send sexual messages to someone he believed to be a 14-year-old. He even arranged to meet the child at Greggs in Huntingdon, with full intention of having sex.
But the presenter was caught out and before he could get to the bakery, was arrested by police on December 2
He had fallen foul of a police sting, and the 14-year-old he believed he had been messaging was actually a police officer and arrested.
Turner was sentenced at Cambridge Crown Court, appearing via video link from prison.
He admitted inciting a child to engage in sexual activity and attempting to engage in sexual communication with a child but was spared an immediate prison sentence.
Passing sentence at Cambridge Crown Court, Judge David Farrell QC told Turner: "You became involved in conversations with a person you knew full well was only 14 years of age. Conversations of a sexual nature were undertaken and you discussed plans and arrangements to have sexual activity.
Turner was given two suspended prison sentences of 12 months and four months to run concurrently.

Вурстенский диалект — вымерший диалект восточнофризского языка. На нём говорили приблизительно до начала XVIII века в регионе Вурстен, к северу от Бремерхафена. Вместе с харлингерландским и вангерогским диалектами он принадлежал к везерской группе восточнофризских диалектов. Последний живой восточнофризский диалект, существующий сегодня, затерландский фризский, принадлежит к эмской группе диалектов.

История
Вурстен не входил в область изначального расселения фризов, но, в конце концов, был колонизирован ими в VIII веке, образовав затем отдельный приход. В XV веке восточнофризский язык начал вымирать и был постепенно вытеснен нижнескасонскими диалектами в областях от Лауэрса до Везера. Однако в Вурстене язык сохранился несколько дольше, чем в Восточной Фрисландии и в Оммеландах.

В конце XVII века язык был описан в двух словарях, но на тот момент он уже был на грани исчезновения. В первой половине XVIII века восточнофризский язык, вероятно, окончательно вымер и в Вурстене.

Проявление субстрата
В нижнесаксонском диалекте Вурстена всё ещё есть несколько фризских субстратных слов. В 1984 году Нильс Орхаммар назвал примеры «Maon» (общественно-полезные работы), «Bau(d)n» (слепень), «Schuur/Schuulschotten» (стрекоза) и «jill'n» (кричать, ржать). Из фонологических особенностей вурстенского диалекта ничего не сохранилось.

For months, a debate over Edward Snowden's status has raged. In the back and forth, one question about this icon who disclosed National Security Agency abuses has dominated: Is he or is he not a whistle-blower with all the attendant protections that should come with such a designation?
As of this week's federal court ruling saying the NSA's data collection programs are probably unconstitutional, that debate is finally over. After all, if the most basic definition of a government whistle-blower is one who uncovers illegal or unconstitutional acts, then the ruling proves Snowden is the dictionary-definition of a whistle-blower.
Of course, there still remains a cottage industry of tough-talking saber rattlers slamming Snowden not merely for being in a foreign country, but more revealingly, for the disclosures themselves. These demagogues often invoke the age-old law-and-order clichés about classified information. Yet, based on what we now know, their criticism of Snowden actually puts them on the side of those who are systemically violating the very laws and Constitution that they purport to love.
Snowden's disclosures proved that Director of National Intelligence James Clapper lied to Congress when he denied the NSA was collecting data about Americans. As Obama administration prosecutors in the Roger Clemens trial would tell you, lying to Congress is a crime. In Clapper's case, his potentially criminal lying was so blatant that even the Republican author of the Patriot Act has called for him to be prosecuted. Snowden's disclosures provide the basis for such prosecution.
Now, sure, the opinion-based speculation about Snowden's social status -- is he a narcissist or a hero? is he unpatriotic or a patriot? -- can and will continue. But from a legal perspective, this former NSA contractor is clearly a whistle-blower -- one entitled to the most basic whistle-blower protections. If those protections are not properly outlined in federal law, then Snowden's acts should prompt whistle-blower law to be reformed and strengthened. That's the least he deserves.
He certainly does not deserve the ire directed at him. At the very minimum, he does not deserve to have House Intelligence Committee chairman Mike Rogers publicly offer to help extrajudicially execute him with a drone strike (yes, that really happened).
What he really deserves, though, is a nation's thanks for exposing -- and hopefully halting -- the violations of civil liberties happening in our midst.

Q: Html Agility Pack get specific content from a
* tag I need some text from this website https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074J9SSPD, to be specific, I need to extract data under the "About the Product" section.

I tried
HtmlWeb web = new HtmlWeb();
HtmlDocument doc = new HtmlDocument();
doc = web.Load("https://amazon.com/dp/B074J9SSPD");

foreach(var node in doc.DocumentNode.SelectNodes("//li[@class='showHiddenFeatureBullets']") {
  string ar = node.InnerText;
  HtmlAttribute att = node.Attributes["class"];
  MessageBox.Show(ar.ToString());
  if (att.Value.Contains("showHiddenFeatureBulletsway,

  }
}

Plz suggest the right way , I'm getting blank string.

A: Your original code (before that first edit) worked for me it just was missing the right parentheses on the foreach loop. I also broke out the nodes into it's own variable to make it easier to read but this should work for you. I tested it locally and it worked for me.
HtmlWeb web = new HtmlWeb();
HtmlDocument doc = new HtmlDocument();
doc = web.Load("https://amazon.com/dp/B074J9SSPD");

var aboutProductNodes = doc.DocumentNode.SelectNodes("//li[@class='showHiddenFeatureBullets']");

foreach (var node in aboutProductNodes)
{
    string ar = node.InnerText;
    HtmlAttribute att = node.Attributes["class"];
    MessageBox.Show(ar.ToString().Trim());
    if (att.Value.Contains("showHiddenFeatureBullets"))
    {

    }
}

However I would suggest looking into the amazon API. It worked about half the time and then the other half was Amazon replying to use their api and not web scrape them. So that might have been a part of your problem too.

Hi, I was wondering, if there is a mixer for field, but with 4 inputs and it is important to have 4 outputs.
Technically speaking this is what I want to do. I want to have 4 sources of audio channels, recorded to RED One camera, but as you might know, to do balance of the sound, to avoid peaking and other problems, you have to go to the camera menu to change the levels. So, I want to design a system, where audio sources go thru a mixer, and each channel is leveled before sending to RED. Maybe there is a better solution you can recommend, as I have described what I want to do.

Have you considered the Sound Devices 442 Mixer?
It has four inputs and four isolated outputs.

Stories of STEM: Abby Shelton
Abby Shelton is a senior in electrical engineering at the University of Kentucky. She is interested in renewable energy and in efforts to update the power grid to accommodate renewable sources. Abby has applied to graduate school and hopes to pursue a master's program with a focus in industrial engineering or engineering management.Coming into college, Abby wasn't really aware of the gender gap in engineering. In high school, all her advanced math classes had an equal number of females to males, so she figured it would be the same in college. At the start of college, most introductory classes such as chemistry and calculus had plenty of females. But now in her upper level engineering classes, it is not uncommon for Abby to be the only female. At first, she didn't have any friends in electrical or even know anyone, and that's when the gender gap became real to her. Abby would try to tackle everything on her own, which was difficult. If she could give any advice to her freshman self, it would be to make meaningful connections in her classes right off the bat. The more friendships you form, the less you feel like a minority.

There are a number of different areas and steps that are important to know and understand when it comes to taxes for your online business. These different areas span the life of your business, from the very beginning on throughout the entire time you operate it. Being adept in all of these areas is the best way to stay in the good graces of the IRS.
When first opening up your business, there are a few important steps to take with regards to taxes. Getting everything right from the very beginning is necessary to keep the inevitable tax frustration down to a minimum.
Select Your Business Structure: Which type of entity you choose for your business will directly impact your tax requirements and strategies. This makes selecting the right one for both now and in the future important, and can save you a lot of money and avoid problems down the line. The main types of business entities are sole proprietorship, partnership, LLC, and corporation.
Acquire an EIN: Aside from a sole proprietorship, all types of businesses require an EIN, or Employer Identification Number. Getting your EIN is a simple and free process, and can be completed entirely online here at the IRS website. The interactive tool provided by the IRS is extremely helpful in determining if an EIN is something you need.
Set Up Estimated Payments: If you are likely to incur a tax debt over $1,000 per year, estimated payments must be made on a quarterly basis. It helps tremendously to set aside money as you go for this purpose, rather than having to come up with a large lump sum when the estimated payment is due. Opening up a business savings account, and making regular deposits into it, will give you an orderly and reliable system for making estimated payments on time and for the correct amount.
Not all business structures are responsible for the same taxes. Some structures require more taxes than others, making them more costly and complex to select when it comes time to choose which type of entity you want your business to be. Knowing which taxes each entity requires helps you make a more informed decision on which is right for you.
Sole Proprietorship: The most basic type of entity, a sole proprietorship requires only personal income taxes and self-employment taxes. Self-employment taxes are divided between Social Security and Medicare, which currently stands at 15.3 percent.
LLC: Operating as an LLC means you can be taxed in a few different ways. For smaller LLCs, you may elect to have things taxed as a sole proprietorship, which is the simplest. If your LLC has more than one founder, you will file as a partnership. If you are, or expect to be, a large online business, you can elect to be taxed as a corporation.
Partnership: Partnerships do not pay taxes, rather any profit or loss is passed through to each individual partner. This would then be taxed the same as a sole proprietorship, on personal income taxes and self employment tax.
Corporation: Due to the fact that a corporation is considered a separate legal entity from its owner/s, it is the only one of these structures where tax is based directly on any profits or losses the company would make. The two types of profit would be retained earnings, or those kept to pay for expenses or growth, and any dividends paid to shareholders.
Form 1040: This form deals with personal income taxes, and applies to sole proprietors, partners, and most LLCs.
Schedule C: Here you would report any profits or losses from your business, if you file form 1040.
Schedule SE: Also related to Form 1040, this is used for your self-employment tax.
Form 1040-ES: Used for reporting any estimated tax payments.
Form 1065: An informational form used for partnerships.
Form 1120: Used by corporations if assets are in excess of $10 million.
Even if you are only selling your products or services online, there is still a chance you will need to charge sales tax for some transactions. In the past, sales tax for online purchases was a murky area in the overall tax scheme; however, the law has become much more concrete in recent years.
State Law: While most states do require some form of sales tax, there are a few that do not. It is important first to figure out if your states is one that does mandate it, and how much the tax is. You should also find out if your local city or municipality charges an additional sales tax on top of that which the state collects.
Physical Business Location: The general rule is if you have a physical location in the same state where the customer resides, you must charge them sales tax. This is a little more difficult with an online business, considering a physical location usually means a separate office or warehouse. Many online businesses are home based, which may or may not qualify as a physical location. Check your state and local authorities just to be sure if your setup qualifies as a physical location.
Where Products Are Shipped From: If orders are sent by a central clearinghouse, such as Fulfillment by Amazon, you may need to collect sales tax from any customers located in the same state as the Amazon facilities.
Customer Location: If a customer does not reside in the same state as your location, you do not need to charge sales tax.
Claiming deductions when tax time comes around is one of the best ways to save money that can be used to grow your business. A wide variety of activities and payments are eligible as deductions, and knowing all of the ones your business qualifies for maximizes how much of your hard-earned cash you can keep hold of.
The size and diversity of the list of deductions available to small business owners that operate online is vast, no matter which type of business entity you register as. Listing and detailing them all would turn this guide into a small novel, so let's take a look at some of the most popular and common deductions virtually every proprietor can claim.
Vehicle Use: Just because your business takes place online does not mean you have no activities in the real world you need to take care of. If any of your activities and responsibilities require the use of a vehicle to get to or accomplish, you can deduct associated expenses, such as gas, maintenance, and repairs. This can be figured based on what you actually paid for, as a percentage you used the vehicle for business. If that seems like too much work, you can also opt to go at the rate the federal government sets. The amount of the federal rate for 2018 is 54.5 cents for each mile traveled for business purposes.
Employee Payments: While many online business owners may get by operating the business by themselves, success and growth is likely to mean taking on extra help. Any payments made to employees, such as salary, commissions, or bonuses, can be fully deducted on your taxes. This, however, does not include payments to yourself as the business owner, since you are technically not an employee.
Business Supplies: Any supplies you use with your business can be deducted. This can include things like basic office supplies, or items used with your business in specific. Any postage for business correspondence or items may also be deducted.
Property and Equipment Depreciation: Any costs incurred as the result of purchasing business-related equipment or property is classified under depreciation, and is considered a capital asset. You can do this one of two ways, either all at once when you buy it, or smaller deductions over the life of the item. If you choose the latter method, the IRS determines how long different types of equipment generally last. This is used to divide up the total cost, and figure out how much you can claim each year.
Rent and Utilities: If you operate your online business outside of your home, any rent or utility costs can be deducted. Rent deductions can also include leases payments on business-related equipment, or monies paid to terminate a lease early. Common utility costs include electricity, heat, and cellphone charges.
Advertisement: Any expenses for communication with people outside your business to promote the company as a whole or individual products or sales is considered advertisement, and is fully deductible for an online business. This does not only include the ads and promotional material themselves, but also costs incurred designing and creating your virtual storefront. Extras like giveaway items and email marketing lists, to name just a few, also qualify.
Home Office: Operating your business out of your home has a different set of rules for some things than having an outside office. Because only a portion of your home is used for your business, you may only claim a portion of things like rent and utilities rather than the total cost. This amount is established by taking the percentage of your whole home that you use for business, and adjusting the total amount accordingly.
One of the most helpful products to come out of the rise of the digital age is tax software. Doing personal taxes can be daunting, not to mention the additional complexities found when doing taxes even for a small business. Going to an outside accountant or firm is expensive, which left business owners of the past limited in what their options were. Now, with the amazingly-capable programs and services available to even the smallest proprietor, tax season has become much less scary.
Business Structure: Some tax software is pretty basic, and usually only adequate if you run a sole proprietorship without any employees. It is vital to check the prospective resource to make sure it covers the type of entity structure you chose.
Required Forms: Make a list of all the forms you will need to file, and compare it to those supported by the tax software or service. If there are any missing, move on to the next candidate.
Online or Download: This is mainly a personal preference, whether you want to download a piece of software or do the whole process online. Many of the top brands offer both, so finding one that offers your preferred type is pretty easy.
Most basic accounting software and services include resources to keep track of the tax aspects of your normal accounting duties. If you want to find out which are the most beneficial in this area, be sure to take a look at our guide, Accounting and Bookkeeping for Your Online Business.
Preparing, maintaining, and submitting your taxes correctly and completely is one of the most necessary, albeit onerous, set of tasks an online business has. Tax problems can be both costly and nightmarish, so getting everything right the first time is a must.

Editor's Notebook
A Little Good News from Back East
By Michael Reed, Editor-in-Chief
The pipeline industry in the U.S. Northeast finally got some positive news on the permitting front, when New Jersey Natural Gas (NJNG) received the go-ahead to move forward with construction work on a controversial 30-mile (48-km) section of the Southern Reliability Link (SRL) pipeline in New Jersey.
The high-pressure line is designed to run through Ocean and Monmouth counties – where its sections have already been completed – and Burlington County, where it will connect to a new compressor station in Chesterfield.
I say "finally" got some positive news for obvious reasons. This has not been a particularly good last few years for the region in matters concerning pipeline approvals in the always tricky-to-negotiate Northeast market.
Recently, for example, both New Jersey and New York denied water quality permits for the Northeast Supply Enhancement (NESE) project, which would have increased gas supply in the Garden State, as well as Pennsylvania and New York, where demand for natural gas is at an all-time high.
Pipeline developer Williams expressed disappointment in NESE decision, which it said involved "a discrete technical issue with our application for water quality certification," adding it would not refile the permit applications at this time.
Closer to home for NJNG, only a couple of weeks earlier the fight over the company's own Southern Reliability Link (SRL) pipeline, which had hit frequent bumps during much of the five years since the utility received its original approval to build from the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities, flared up again.
Opponents, who have long maintained the route for the SRL project presents safety concerns because of its proximity to houses and businesses, this time argued, stunningly enough, that the 180,000 Dth-per-day pipeline offered no direct benefit to the community.
With Burlington County as the focal point – and the only section of the project still not completed – the final hurdle involved a road-opening permit to allow installation to begin beneath two county highways.
In May 2020, NJNG, which serves more than 500,000 customers primarily within Ocean and Monmouth counties, began drilling beneath the Burlington-Monmouth County border, prompting the Burlington County engineer to issue a stop work order, according to county records. This, even though the utility contended the digging was legal because the land was owned jointly by both counties.
That problem was laid to rest by the end of the month, with the utility having agreed to pay $12.2 million to compensate for repaving and repair work and other infrastructure improvements related to the project, as well as $1 million to cover damages to property along the county highways. The numerous delays, of course, added to the final price tag.
"NJNG has addressed all outstanding issues that were presented by Burlington County," utility Spokesman Kevin Roberts said May 22, after the final approvals were granted. "We will continue to work closely with them as construction on the project continues into Burlington County in the next several weeks."
A preconstruction meeting with county officials will take place before additional work takes place, with NJNG hoping to have the project in service in 2021.
NJNG did not offer further comment to P&GJ on the process itself, but months earlier Burlington County Engineer Joe Brickley did a reasonably good job of summing up what many people familiar with the process thought by that point.
"All the things they [NJNG] didn't want to do, they have agreed to do," he said, adding there was no legal justification to deny the utility the permits.
This, much to the chagrin of many natural gas distribution companies and contractors, has become an increasingly disturbing trend, and not just in the Northeast.

Take Your Chance.
by Katie Harper University of Dayton Mar 7, 2018
"I never wanted to sell my music," says Chance the Rapper, "because I thought putting a price on it put a limit on it and inhibited me from making a connection."
24 years in the making, Chancelor Bennett, better known as "Chance the Rapper," has made a name for himself.
"Lil Chano from 79th" grew up on the South Side of Chicago and was heavily involved with gang activity. His 10 Days mixtape was a project he made because he was suspended from school after drug affiliation. Later after releasing Acid Rap, in which he composed while under the influence of hallucinogenics, Chance had a 6 month long binge on the prescription drug Xanax.
Doesn't sound like the recipe for this Independent artist, Rapper, Philanthropist, Record producer, and Actor who has been awarded with multiple Grammy Awards for "Best New Artist", "Best Rap Album", and "Best Rap Performance" 2017, the BET "Humanitarian Award". A young man who has single handily has donated 1 Million Dollars to Chicago Public School System in March 2017 as he sets the bar for a call.
Along with his donation, he encouraged companies in Chicago and around the country to donate to Chicago schools, calling his contribution
"A call to action." To change the script of the story being written.
Chance the Rapper has had 24 years of insight. 24 years of heartbreak, passion, pain, and the rigor of life. Because of his testimony, and his willingness to share his truth; His voice is valued.
He is truly immersed. He climbed out of a life that was anything but "glorified" to many, and created a story for himself by challenging others to rewrite their own.
Chance's musics serve as the chapters of an already written story; by the one above.
Chance sees this, and using the platform that he has been blessed with, sings it.
Thank you for signing up! Check your inbox for the latest from Odyssey.
This is not a valid email, please try again.
In "How Great," after singing the chorus of the Chris Tomlin song by the same title, he says,
"With the faith of a pumpkin-sized-seed mustard seed
Hear, for I will speak noble things as entrusted me
Only righteous, I might just shrug at the skullduggery"
It has become more than the name he has made for himself, when the artist performs he does not draw the attention back to his name alone, rather the name of the highest; the name of the one he attributes all fame and success to. This young rapper capitalizes on his ability to connect with the young hearts of this world, and his focus is not on profit but on a "purpose."
His purpose is not his own, but the purpose of truth and love that can be attributed to our maker above. Chance the Rapper has a vision for the work he does; provoke the hearts of our youth to challenge the process, challenge what has been deemed reality, what has been "accepted" for what it is.
In an interview Chance states, "I think that's always the goal of art, is to make people ask themselves questions." Chance the Rapper wants his voice to serve as a spotlight to the questions we should be asking ourselves.
What do you believe in? Where is your story headed? What can you do to change the story for others?
This artist, this single voice, has become the revolutionary flame that fires up the youth in the face of adversity, a voice that has continuously challenged the mentality through the verses he crafts.
Chance is one voice. One movement. We all have a voice. We all are our own movement.
This young heart from the South Side of Chicago has challenged the process on so many levels, 24 years in the making and through his faith from above, the cards have been aligned for him to do his work.
So, I challenge you. Take your chance. Rewrite your story, or challenge others to rewrite their own.
Take every second you get to tell your story and glorify the artist of your life on this earth.
Take it.
Speak truth and value others above yourself. Your words, and the way you express them, matter. Chances are, you could sell out stadiums.

Report: Red Wings close to signing Ericsson to extension
By James O'BrienNov 19, 2013, 9:13 PM EDT
The Detroit Red Wings might be a little bummed about Danny DeKeyser's injury, but it's not all bad news for the D corps. The franchise is "on the verge" of signing Jonathan Ericsson to a contract extension, according to TSN's Bob McKenzie.
The extension would last between four and five years and include a cap hit around $4 million per season (or maybe a little higher), McKenzie reports.
This would keep the 29-year-old from hitting unrestricted free agency. The big Swede ranks second among Red Wings defensemen with an average ice time of 22:13 per night, including 3:13 on the penalty kill.
He also has four points in 11 games, but the Red Wings are probably more enamored with his defensive work.
Obviously this doesn't mean that he'll sign for sure, yet if it's just a matter of time, it's a nice deal for both sides.

The World Right Now Airs on CNN US This Week
This entry was posted in CNN CNN International Fourth Estate and tagged Brooke Baldwin Carol Costello CNN CNN International Hala Gorani The World Right Now on July 30, 2014 by Tyler
One of CNN International's newest shows, The World Right Now with Hala Gorani, will be airing on CNN US Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, live in its 3:00 ET timeslot. CNN Newsroom with Brooke Baldwin usually airs a second live hour in the slot. Although Baldwin anchored the 2 PM hour today, her show's Twitter account has said that today was Brooke's last show of the week from Atlanta. It has not been announced what/who will air for the remainder of the week, although Baldwin could broadcast her show from one of the network's other studios around the United States. TKNN's Political Jungle has reached out to both the show's account and Baldwin, herself, to find out about the rest, but we have not heard back. If either responds, we will update this article.
Baldwin and Carol Costello, the last two weekday anchors in Atlanta, will be moving to New York and their shows will broadcast from there starting Monday. Costello's show has been airing from Washington, DC, and she is expected to continue airing from there for the rest of the week. For Costello, CNN New York is a return. Costello previously anchored Daybreak from New York and she, alongside Christine Romans and Ali Velshi, made up the last anchor team for American Morning, CNN's now-defunct morning show that broadcast from New York. Baldwin has spent most of her time in Atlanta, but has gone up to New York to guest-anchor New Day and anchor the short-lived ICYMI.

Gold Coast gifts land to help Koala conservation
December 3, 2018 11:10 am in Gold Coast, The Loop List 4 by Mitchell Van Homrigh
Gold Coast City Council has gifted the Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary land to farm 15,000 eucalyptus trees to help cope with a rapidly growing number of sick and injured koalas.
The program will be run by Wildlife Sanctuary staff who will plant, maintain and harvest trees.
Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary Senior Veterinarian Dr Michael Pyne said the development is much needed.
"It takes 1000 trees a year to support one koala," he said.
"We're experiencing a surge in koalas requiring treatment and we require more access to more food."
"To put it in perspective in 2008 the hospital admitted 28 koalas, this year we're going to almost reach 500," he said.
"It's almost a 20 fold increase in just 10 years."
There'll be a further 20,000 trees to be planted at Merrimac's Koala Eucalyptus Plantation that uses water from the nearby Merrimac Waste and Recycling Centre.
Mayor Tom Tate says it's part of Council's plan to bring long-term sustainability to koalas on the Coast.
"This is a 15-year deal to be known as the Merrimac Koala Eucalyptus Plantation agreement," he said.
"We are providing the land for $1 a year and will irrigate the site from the adjacent Recycled Water Treatment Plant.
"What a proud day for our city."

May's Lookfantastic Beauty Box has arrived and as with previous months I simply couldn't wait to share its contents with you all!
As usual tucked within the interior of the classy, understated matte black box are an array of mid and high-end beauty products. For £15 a month expect a good mix of haircare, makeup, skin- and bodycare along with the occasional surprise of a beauty tool or lifestyle item. So what's in May's box?
The first product out of this month's box – a 5ml sample of Omorovicza Cleansing Balm (50ml, £46) – is from a brand I've been lusting after for some time. Omorovicza is high-end skincare brand that hails from Hungary and their luxurious products first piqued my interest when I was browsing Instagram. Omorovicza's Thermal Cleansing Balm is an award-winning black balm that utilizes Calcium and Magnesium-rich Hungarian Moor Mud to cleanse and detoxify the skin, while sweet almond oil provides nourishment, resulting in a clean but soft complexion. As you'd expect too the packaging screams luxury too.
Next up we have a generous 50ml travel sized product in the shape of the Christophe Robin Regenerating Hair Mask (250ml, RRP £50). Containing rare Prickly Pear Seed Oil and Inula Flower Extract this hair mask works to restore and revitalise dry and damaged hair from root to tip, protecting even coloured hair. It also helps to stimulate your scalp and protect the hair from split ends and further breakages; the perfect product for repairing hair that's been damaged on holiday by sun, sea and chlorine.
The third item is a 2ml sample of Erno Laszlo Transphase Night Serum (30ml, RRP £161). This serum boasts some impressive sounding ingredients Glycosaminoglycans, Matrixyl 3000 and Gatuline Expression which promise to boost collagen production, reduce fine lines and relax the facial muscles. With the full size product priced at an eye-watering £161 i'm expecting good things!
Moving on we have a great sized 100ml sample of TANWORX Self-Tanning Lotion from Monu Skincare (200ml, RRP £20) and the sun came then it left us again this is most welcome. This paraben-free self tan promises to moisturise whilst providing instant colour that develops into a long-lasting, streak-free tan.
The fifth item is a pair of Eylure Pre-Glued Lashes (RRP £5.50). This is the least exciting item for me as I don't tend to wear false lashes however this are quite subtle and lightweight, and being pre-glued means they should be fairly easy to apply so perhaps I'll give them a whirl.
The last item is 10ml of Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse Or (RRP £7.99), a multi-use dry oil that gives a slight golden shimmer to your face, body and hair. The original Huile Prodigieuse dry oil is quite a cult classic and one I've often considered purchasing. Much like the original version this oil sinks into the skin quickly and without leaving your skin overly greasy, but the addition of the little golden particles that give the skin a beautiful glow. With 95.2% of the ingredients being of natural origin, including Borage, St. John's Wort, Sweet Almond, Camellia, Hazelnut and Macadamia oils, and being free-from preservatives, Silicone and Mineral oil this oil is wonderfully nourishing and is the icing on the cake of an already great box.
For £15 (or less if you preorder 3, 6 or 12 months) this box is really great value and will definitely get you feeling prepared for summer. Lookfantastic are yet to disappoint and I'd thoroughly recommend hopping over to www.lookfantastic.com to find out how you can get your hands on this great beauty discovery box.
It's great – would never pay anywhere near as much as £160 for a serum but I'm glad to get the chance to try it! And the Omorovicza looks luxe!

Sonny's Rocks
A denver store reinvents itself in a new location
Eileen McClelland Instore June 2011 Issue
Sonny's Rocks, Denver, CO
OWNERS: Michael Nedler and Mark Allen; DESIGNER: Artco of Miami;
URL:sonnys rocks.com; BUSINESS FOUNDED: 1979; OPENED FEATURED LOCATION: October 2009; SLOGAN: We rock, baby; TOTAL AREA: 3,000 square feet; EMPLOYEES: 6; TOP BRANDS: Ritani, Peter Storm, Martin Flyer, Hidalgo, Alex Sepkus, Rebecca, Pandora, Teno, Charriol, Breuning
WHEN THEIR LEASE NEGOTIATIONS hit a serious snag in 2009, partners Michael Nedler and Mark Allen reluctantly left their space in Denver's luxe Cherry Creek neighborhood. Six months later, they opened a freestanding store on one of the busiest corners in Denver. They had moved 2.5 miles physically. Psychologically, though, the new place was worlds removed. The staid Sonny's Jewelers on Fillmore, founded by Michael's father, Sonny, had been reinvented as the casual and edgy Sonny's Rocks. It had a new attitude to go with the new name. "We chose rock as a theme," Nedler says. "Rocks as in our diamonds, and most importantly, an attitude that we rock. After 35 years in the jewelry business, I'm ready to have fun and rock 'n' roll." The theme is comprehensive: Their business cards look like concert tickets, and they place orders with a company called Wine That Rocks for items like Dark Side of the Moon cabernet.
Five Cool Things About Sonny's Rocks
1. A DENIM DRESS CODE Nedler says it's obvious to him that most guys hate coming into a jewelry store. He wanted the experience to be as painless as possible and began by tweaking the dress code. "Denver is a very casual city so when we were a coat-and-tie store, customers would come in and say, 'Oh, I didn't dress up enough to be here,' which you hate to hear." Even before the move Nadler had thrown out the coats and ties in exchange for a business casual look. "I don't have any suits left," he says. "I don't wear them." These days, it's laid-back all the way, which means fashionable jeans. "Like if you walk into your neighbor's house this is what they'd be wearing. We want the whole feel of the store to be a place you can hang out and be comfortable."
2.TWISTS ON TRADITIONAL Certain traditions had to stay — such as locked cases — out of necessity. Certain other mainstays — like carpeted floors — were thrown out with the suits and ties. They opted for earthy stone floors and decorated with Nedler's collection of signed guitars and album covers from bands ranging from Pink Floyd to Michael Jackson. Instead of playing videos from jewelry
manufacturers, they show videos of rock concerts. Rock 'n' roll murals adorn the restroom doors.
Another twist on tradition: Nearly every piece of jewelry is visibly priced. "Customers shouldn't have to ask every time they want to know what it costs," Nedler contends.
Yes, Sonny's Rocks provides health insurance and profit sharing. But that's not all. "We'll buy you a tattoo, as long as it's not across your forehead," Nedler says. "We do have our limits. Most of my crew has taken us up on the offer, but you don't have to be inked to work here." Nedler has a dragon of his own, which gave him the idea.
3.PLAYING AROUND Nedler also installed a photo booth, where customers pose for photos with jewelry they're trying on — or just fool around. One enthusiastic couple drew a crowd to the monitor outside the photo booth, which captured the "romance" happening live within. "They were young and in love, shopping for their wedding rings," Nedler says. "We gave them a bottle of wine." A Wii station also entertains customers and their kids.
4.RISKY ADVERTISING Some Sonny's Rocks commercials feature amorous, scantily clad couples in scenarios Nedler describes as nearly soft porn." "I go into it knowing that some people will look at it and be offended. If you want to be noticed, you can't let that scare you. For everyone who's offended, there's going to be 100 who will laugh and love it. It makes you stand out and be remembered."
5.QUIRKY WEBSITE
The website, too, is irreverent.
A SAMPLE FROM THE FAQ PAGE:
Q: I'm really offended over your advertising campaign. Is there anything I can do to stop you?
A. No. But if you'd like to leave an outraged, rambling voicemail about it, we'll make sure your thoughts on the subject are shared with others.
Five Questions with Michael Nedler
1. HOW IS YOUR BUSINESS DOING SINCE YOU BROKE WITH TRADITION? It was a tough year, but for a first year in business we hit the goals we set, and we're seeing more momentum.
2. HAS YOUR THINKING ABOUT THE BUSINESS CHANGED? I don't think like a jeweler any-more in terms of the keeper of the sacred standards. I think like a merchant: Give 'em what they like and get on with your life.
3. WHY DID YOU SETTLE ON A ROCK 'N' ROLL THEME? I'm a drummer. And I do it as therapy. I'm a crappy drummer, but I like rock 'n' roll. It makes me feel good. If I love it, I think, everybody loves it.
4. WHO ARE YOUR CLIENTS? We have two businesses, the bridal business, which is younger, early 20s to early 40s. We use our diamonds to bring people in to sell our mountings and hopefully you'll hang onto them for future sales in fashion, where you can make some money. Fashion for us is 30s and up. Even there, we're seeing price points coming down. Lots of people are coming in for Pandora. You can make money with it, but I look at it as an advertising expense. It gets people into the store.
5. WHAT SHOULD JEWELERS WHO FEEL STUCK IN A RUT BE ASKING THEMSELVES? We sell what nobody needs. How do you appeal to the demographic? How do you make it easy and fun and interesting enough to choose you instead of Acme Jewelers? Choose who you're going to be and find your way to stick out. In the new economy, you've got to find a way to do it or you're dead.

Of the many parrot species that can be seen in Centennial Parklands the rainbow lorikeet would have to be one of the most beautiful.
A multi-coloured bird with a bright red bill, streaky blue head and red eyes, they have a greenish-yellow collar and a green back and tail. Their chest is red-orange and their belly is blue.
They fly fast and direct over, or twist and turn sharply amongst the trees and are usually in pairs or large flocks. In flight their call is a rolling musical screech, and while feeding they give a more mellow chattering call. They move extensively around the area in search of suitable flowering or fruiting trees. Once they find a suitable tree they will feed noisily in large groups.
They have a specialised brush-tipped tongue which they use to extract nectar and pollen from flowering eucalypts, banksias and paperbarks. Fruit is also on the menu and a tree full of ripe fruit can prove irresistible, attracting large numbers of lorikeets.
At night they like to roost in very large numbers and the sound of them gathering to roost can be quite deafening.
Rainbow lorikeets can be found along the east coast in rainforests, woodlands, coastal banksia scrub, plantations, gardens and street trees. They have been very successful around Sydney and their numbers have increased over the years.
Nesting takes place from July to January and the nest is built in a hollow limb or trunk in a smooth-barked tree, often near water and quite high. They lay a clutch of 2–3 eggs that are incubated by the female. The young birds leave the nest after about nine weeks. These wonderfully loud and colourful birds can be seen flying over Centennial Parklands, or feeding in groups in any flowering trees.

Using Drones for a New Perspective on the News: Raycom Media
Isaac Bruns Content Marketing Manager at Skyward November 3, 2017
In February 2016, a local news station in Birmingham, Ala., WBRC FOX6 News, debuted a new way of reporting the news: the "WBRC Sky Tracker." The station first integrated the Sky Tracker—really a Yuneec Typhoon H drone—into weather and traffic reports, advertising, and news-gathering. A year and a half later, the station continues to fly just about every weekday, finding more and more use cases for their drone program as they go.
WBRC's parent company, Raycom Media, Inc., is an employee-owned broadcast company with more than 50 television stations throughout the southern, eastern, and midwestern United States. Headquartered in Montgomery, Ala., Raycom provides services for stations covering more than 16% of U.S. television households. With such a broad audience, aerial coverage is a must, and with drones increasing in popularity in the media, Raycom wanted to be at the forefront of media innovation.
Following the successful launch of its first drone program at WBRC, Raycom has launched drones at about 20 other Raycom stations. For now, each station has just one drone and one or more pilots, but in the coming months, Raycom plans to scale up its drone program to include at least 40 stations.
How does a major enterprise like Raycom with 50 different locations—which means 50 different jurisdictions, local ordinances, systems of operation, and topics of concern—manage such a large operation? How have they been able to scale so quickly and successfully?
We put this video together to show Raycom's news drones in action.
Drones for Broadcasting with Raycom and Skyward from SkywardIO on Vimeo.
I also had the opportunity to talk with James Jefferies, Senior Director of IT Development and a long-time employee at Raycom. Careful planning and execution, he explained, has been the key to their success.
For Raycom, setting up drone operations required four essential steps.
1) Gaining Buy-in for Drones
Raycom began to consider how drones could become a part of their broadcast news system years ago. As the technology progressed and became a viable solution for obtaining aerial footage, and as the cost of manned aviation increased, they saw the value of adding drones to their video production toolbox.
Raycom brought together a team of drone enthusiasts within the company to establish interest in a drone program. They paired that with corporate legal and risk management executives to ensure they were treading on safe ground. James then gave demonstrations at Raycom company conferences to show how drones could contribute to daily broadcasts. Before long, several local stations began to express excitement about the idea of using drones.
Even after gaining buy-in from affiliate stations, Raycom knew they had a lot of work ahead, especially prior to the FAA's release of Part 107, the federal rule governing commercial drone operations. "We began in the Section 333 days, but Part 107 has made it much easier for reporters to use drones to gather the news," James says.
There was a huge amount of documentation and data to keep track of just to be legally compliant, and he had to figure out a way to track it all.
2) Using Skyward to Manage Drone Operations
As an internal software developer and project manager, James was tasked with building a software application to manage and track the entire drone program on a corporate level—keeping track of aircraft, pilots, flights, insurance, licensing, and more. He was delighted to find that such a platform already existed.
"Skyward rolls all the apps we need together into a really nice system, at a really nice price," James says. "And I didn't have to build it myself!"
Raycom uses Skyward to log all flights, schedule pilots, track maintenance, produce compliance reports, and much more. Even in a time crunch—James says that drone crews have less than five minutes before deploying for most breaking news—Skyward enables pilots to check the airspace, plan the operation, and know where they're flying.
"If a drone goes into the air, it goes into Skyward first," James says.
After gathering footage, the pilot logs the flight in Skyward, increasing total logged hours for both the pilot and the station and proving that drone ops are bringing value to the newsroom. From start to finish, Skyward helps Raycom ensure their pilots are operating safely and in compliance with regulations.
"Across 50 different stations, 50 different groups of people, there's one place to go to manage everything in our drone operation," James says.
3) Setting up Strong Internal Processes
Even with a management system in place, Raycom knew they had to develop a comprehensive set of procedures—standards that would be followed by all of Raycom's stations. To ensure safety and professionalism, Raycom put together their own drone operations manual with policies and procedures, layered on top of the FAA requirements, that hold their pilots to a higher standard. Raycom also made the decision to standardize on one model of drone, and centralize all drone procurement.
"Every drone goes through me," James said. "I do all the firmware updates, purchasing, testing, and processing for every drone we use at our stations." So far, he says, he's processed 24 Yuneec Typhoon H drones, with many more planned in the coming months.
Raycom also takes privacy into careful consideration. "We're very concerned and aware of privacy issues," James says. "We're very aware about where we fly and shouldn't fly—not because we're not allowed, but because it might not look good to the public."
Accordingly, Raycom has taken steps to maintain a positive public image for their drone programs. To begin with, all drone operators are required to wear safety vests with station logos so viewers and passersby know there is a professional flying a drone—not just a hobbyist who may be flying irresponsibly. As an extra layer of security, a visual observer is required for every flight. Whenever possible, a third operator controls the camera so the pilot can focus on flying, not footage.
In addition, many stations have created public promotions to advertise their drone, highlighting the benefits it brings to the public. With the public aware of the drone program, stations can more easily demonstrate how the drone is being used for the good of the community—not to invade privacy. These precautions reduce risk and demonstrate Raycom's commitment to safety and compliance, as well as quality.
4) Requiring Extensive Training
In addition to having their pilots take online courses, like Remote Pilot 101, to become knowledgeable about the rules for flying in the public airspace, Raycom also created their own flight proficiency test, to ensure that their pilots can execute both basic and complicated maneuvers with their assigned drone. This includes flying along a rope laid out on the ground in geometric shapes, and circling a pole while keeping the camera trained on the pole the whole time.
Practicing specific maneuvers based on the camera's point view are critical to Raycom drone operations. "We don't just want a camera in the air; we want a camera in the air that can get good footage, good production value," James says.
Furthermore, every pilot is required to fly for a minimum of 30 minutes every 30 days to maintain their "ready to fly" status. That way, James explains, pilots remain familiar with the drone and won't lose their cool in the field.
"When you're out in the field in a high-pressure situation, with video feeding live from the drone out to thousands of viewers, having the pilot forget how the drone works would not be good," he says.
Raycom stations have been creative about using drones to report on the news, with a wide variety of use cases, including:
Beautiful aerial shots of the city
Lateral shots of riots, crowds, and rallies
Impressive pan-out shots from reporters
Coverage of the construction of a baseball stadium
Documentation of a miles-long traffic jam
The removal of a famous monument in New Orleans
Feature stories about roof inspections, cemeteries, church meetings, and other topics
Drone coverage of natural disasters has produced some of the most impressive footage yet. Reporters have been able to gather remarkable shots of floods, wildfires, and tornado damage that they have never had access to before.


From the azure waters of France to the pristine white sand in Spain, and even in the UK, Europe has some of the finest beaches in the world. Whether you enjoy sitting around on beautiful golden dunes, or you prefer to don your wetsuit and get on your board, below are some of the best European beaches you can visit. Book your holiday, pack your suitcases, and bask in the best that Europe has to offer.
La Cote Des Basques offers a unique combination of surfing shacks and modern, trendy bars. It is widely considered to be the birthplace of European surfing, and it remains very popular with surfers and watersports enthusiasts. As you might expect, the water can get a little choppy, but there is a great selection of places to sit and eat or drink if this does happen. The number of Basque residents that visit the beach is an indication of just how popular and beautiful it is.
The Playa De Las Catedrales offers a stunning natural landscape of cliffs that have been carved by the wind and sea. Some of the cliffs are more than 30 metres high and during low tide, you can walk down the steps leading to the cathedral beach and see some of the caves and the rugged coastline that the area has become renowned for.
Balos has played host to celebrities and famous people from all over the world, including Prince Charles and Princess Diana who visited on their private yacht. The beach can get very busy during July and August, so if you don't like crowds then you should consider steering clear in high season. The sand has a pinkish tinge to it, thanks to the crushed shells it contains, and the lagoon has deep and cool water that is ideal for snorkelling.
Woolacombe surprised many people when it was featured at number 4 in the list of the most popular beaches in Europe on TripAdvisor. However, anybody that has visited the three mile stretch of blue flag beach will not be surprised. It is a popular beach with surfers, while the local village has yet to be overrun by tourism especially during the off-season.
There are many beaches across the whole of Europe, and depending on whether you prefer to laze around or enjoy a more active trip to the beach, you no doubt have a favourite of your own. However, if you are looking to visit a beach that you've never seen before, the list above provide some great places to start.


Not all window frames are standard size. This means that the sills must be custom-cut to fit. Most distributors of marble window sills carry only a few standard lengths in stock, and they are not able to procure custom sizes upon request.
Some manufacturers accommodate clients by cutting down or widening the sills. This is an expensive task that is usually only carried out if the order is large enough. Even then, the price will be somewhat higher if the order is shipped through an import broker to the client.
Stonexchange has a solution for those customers wanting a bulk supply of non-standard size marble window sills. Our company produces a line of sill products that have been fabricated at an overseas manufacturing center we own and operate. We import large quantities of product year-round, and can offer our clients truly wholesale pricing on non-standard size window sills and other stone accessories.
Marble is an extremely heavy product. It is also quite fragile once it has been cut down to thin slabs or sheets. Importing this material is costly because freight charges depend on weight as well as on cubic footage.
Most top-quality marble comes from quarries located across the Atlantic Ocean. To keep prices as low as possible, marble window sills, thresholds, and floor tiles must be imported in very large freight containers. If these products are resold and distributed by a third-party broker or reseller, the cost per individual piece rises dramatically.
Stonexchange delivers high-quality marble window sills at truly wholesale prices. We are the manufacturer as well as the importer, and we do not rely on seasonal supplies of material because we own the manufacturing centers. Our full-container loads of product are brought into the United States and distributed from our Miami, FL warehouse.
This direct order process allows us to fill customer requests for non-standard size sills. In addition to the standard lengths, widths, and thicknesses available for immediate delivery from our Miami distribution center, we can take requests for customized pieces and have them fabricated overseas at no extra cost to the client. These orders, if large enough, can be delivered directly to the customer.
Freight costs are kept to a minimum when full-pallet orders are placed. This applies to custom orders that include pieces cut to a specific size. We do not charge our customers extra for any custom order, although these specially-sized pieces involve a lead time of up to two months to cut, shape, and deliver.
Non-standard size window sills made from natural stone are often needed in order to fit odd-size frames installed in resorts, older hotels undergoing renovation, and modern office suites with panoramic windows. If the standard sizes are too large, cutting them down smaller is a time-consuming procedure. Cutting thin sills made from natural stone also results in a large amount of damaged pieces.
It is therefore imperative that the building contractor or independent installer find a suitable supply of non-standard pieces. Most retail flooring supply stores will not be able to help with this problem unless they purchase from the original manufacturer. Once a source of customized window sills is found, it is highly unlikely the installer or construction company will do business anywhere else.
Fitting the sill to the base of the frame means having the exact size needed for the job. A marble window sill acts as a water barrier, keeping moisture from seeping through the base of the frame and damaging the surrounding wood, sheetrock, and electrical circuits. It must be fitted correctly to the base of the frame, with no exposed wood remaining.
Stonexchange sells directly to natural stone supply merchants, home improvement centers, and construction contractors. We sell only full-crate or full-pallet quantities of product, and this results in significantly lower prices on custom-cut sills made from natural marble. Best of all, we guarantee product availability year-round because we import our products monthly. Any request for non-standard size window sills is honored so long as it meets our company's requirement for a minimum order count.
Color and styling are critical when designing a residential or commercial interior. Building plans usually specify a certain type of marble sill, one that complements the furnishings as well as the other natural stone products used. These styles and shadings have generic and/or industrial names that are recognized by installers and architects.
All styles manufactured and imported by Stonexchange can be ordered in one of several custom sizes, or they can be custom-cut to fit. The minimum piece count varies and is dependent upon the length and width of the sills. Our company has researched the industry carefully and supplies our customers with marble styles that easily replace a specified shade or pattern.
Crema Sahara Marfil is one of the most popular shades of marble. It is cream/beige, with moderate streaking and blotching. It is the perfect style for orders specifying Botticcino or Bursa Beige. This color is somewhat neutral and therefore can be used for interiors where multiple changes in furnishings are anticipated.
Nuevo White Carrara is the preferred off-white shade of natural marble. It is light gray with thin streaks and veining. Popular as a marble stone used for exterior columns, it works well as a complementary shade to darker or lighter tones. It resembles Alabama White, Cherokee, and Georgia White marble.
Pure White Thazoz is an engineered stone manufactured and distributed by Stonexchange. This composite material is brilliant white in appearance and has no streaking or splotches. Highly sought by installers wanting to mimic Thassos marble, this stone is very long-lasting and is 100 percent waterproof.
In addition to our line of natural and engineered stone marble styles, we also carry Absolute Black Granite, a very dark stone that has tiny off-white spots. This stone sill replaces Galaxy or similar granite styles and has a very shiny, polished finish. Our granite window sills can be custom-cut to nearly any width and can be manufactured in a thicker slab than the standard size pieces.
The standard sizes of all marble styles described here are packed in crates containing either 50 or 100 pieces depending on length and width. Likewise, any custom order placed by the client will require a minimum piece count. Custom shaping styles vary, and clients are encouraged to speak with one of the company sales representatives for full details and sizing restrictions.
Stonexchange maintains a large inventory of standard sizes, and we import product monthly to keep this inventory constant. However, we do not stock custom-sized window sills at our Miami, FL distribution center. Customers needing wider, narrower, or thicker sills can request a custom order that carries the stipulation of a minimum piece count. The prices for these non-standard sizes are equivalent to a matching bulk – and weight – of our standard full crates.
Orders for custom-cut window sills are packaged for overseas shipment along with our monthly imports. However, large orders can be sent directly to the customer location. Because the pieces must be individually cut and shaped to size, a lead time is required, and the shipping dates are estimates only. Customers will receive a final price quote when the order is placed.
Stonexchange welcomes new dealers and is happy to supply samples of all our marble products for display in retail showrooms. Merchants are encouraged to inform their customers about the non-standard sizes we offer. Building contractors are far more likely to become a repeat customer if their supplier can offer them accurate estimates concerning delivery and pricing on specialty orders of custom-cut marble products.
This is especially true if a contractor is in need of standard sizes for thresholds, shower curbs, and floor tiles, but needs odd-size pieces for the window sills. Instead of having to locate a second supplier, he or she now has a simple business contract to complete with a single source. Advertising custom lengths, widths, and thicknesses on top-quality window sills made from natural marble stone is sure to attract attention.
The absolute lowest prices on natural marble stone window sills, flooring tiles, thresholds, and other accessories are realized when business is done with the raw materials supplier. Unlike many distributors who must purchase smaller quantities from a broker and pay this person's profit margin, Stonexchange customers enjoy the benefits of going directly to the source. We think you will find our pricing on bulk-quantity marble products extremely fair, and we encourage you to compare our styles/pricing/availability to that of the competition.
If you need personalized marble window sills cut to size, contact us today and speak to one of our sales/marketing reps. We offer the finest quality combined with the lowest prices in the industry. What's more, you will be dealing with the most dependable source of natural stone products in the entire nation.
