Rifle range nearly doubles capacity

The Byers Canyon Rifle Range in Hot Sulphur Springs.
Bryce Martin / Sky-Hi News |
Grand County's popular Byers Canyon Rifle Range has provided sportsman with a shooting safe haven since the early 70s but after more than a decade of seeking funding the popular shooting sports destination recently got an upgrade with the installation of several new shooting lanes and other amenities.
Construction on the project started on April 17 and expanded the current number of rifle lanes from five to nine. Colorado Parks and Wildlife also added two new handgun lanes, bringing the total to four, and plans to install a long-range handgun lane later this summer. Additionally the project included installation of 50 yard targets, in addition to the previously existing 25 yard targets, on the two .22 lanes at the range.
The expansion project was undertaken to reduce wait times and congestion at the popular shooting range, a favorite spot of Front Range hunters heading into the high country for fall big game seasons.
To ensure the safety of citizens utilizing the range CPW also raised and lengthened the dirt berms surrounding the shooting lanes. All told employees from CPW moved and piled 52,000 cubic yards of material in constructing the new project. The new shooting lanes were installed in between the older lanes. Doug Gillham, CPW Wildlife Technician for this area, oversees the Rifle Range and explained the placement of the new lanes.
"The existing lanes were 100 yards apart," Gillham said. "We put a new lane in between each existing lane. The lanes are built so that a person shooting in one lane is not going to be able to see the person on the 200-yard target next door. Someone can walk safely down to change the 200-yard target and not be worried about an inadvertent discharge. Safety is our first consideration."
Gillham, who oversees all ranch properties owned by CPW in this area, said he has been seeking funding to expand the Rifle Range since 2006. In 2015 funding was allocated for the project. The total cost of the project is estimated at roughly $100,000. All funding for the expansion project is derived from hunting and fishing license fees.
Helping make operation of the Range possible are summer volunteers Joe and Barbara Cabler. The Cablers, from central Texas, volunteer as camp hosts each summer and decided to come to Grand County this year. They oversee day-to-day operation and maintenance of the range, tacking up new targets, cleaning trash carelessly left by visitors, and keeping watch over those utilizing the range to ensure they are following the safety rules.
Parks and Wildlife installed a traffic counter device at the entrance to the range and recorded roughly 10,000 vehicles entering the property last year. It should be noted the range is closed annually to provide winter range habitat for big game and is not open from the week after New Year's Day to the end of April.

Some of the health units in our country have the most diligent workers but lack the funds, the facilities, and equipment to serve their communities at their best. To meet this need, Cherry Mobile has set up a medical fund to benefit these institutions that have the potential for impact but are restricted by material funds.
Cherry Mobile set up its Charity Medical Fund, which refers to resources allotted to help public health units sustain their operational needs in order to serve the Filipino people better. This is one way of empowering the health units in the local scene so that in return, they could empower the residents in their respective communities, or in the case of medical institutions, to make health services available to charity patients.
Based primarily on the needs of the identified health unit, the Charity Medical Fund is utilized to purchase medical equipment as needed by the chosen institution. Donations may range from oxygen tanks to wheel chairs to hospital beds, among others.
Cherry Mobile donated oxygen tanks and oxygen gauges or regulators to the Lung Center of the Philippines in Quezon City. These items were provided for the use of charity patients of the hospital.
Last year, Cherry Mobile donated Fuji Salter-type baby weighing scales to barangay health centers in Del Carmen, Surigao Del Norte. The CSR team worked with the municipal mayor of Del Carmen, Mayor Alfredo Coro II, for this project which is part of a bigger campaign of the local government unit on preventive health management.
CSR manager Leah Lopez endorses the baby weighing scales to Del Carmen mayor Alfredo Coro II.
The municipality has no hospital in its vicinity, and so to prevent the residents from getting sick and spending too much in hospitalization, the municipal health unit reinforces its life quality improvement program. They sought support from Cherry Mobile to purchase equipment for monitoring the weight of children in the community and combat malnutrition. They have also launched their feeding program. Cherry Mobile believes that this is an investment in the health of communities in Del Carmen, considering that this equipment will be used on a long term basis in the health centers.
Mayor Alfred endorses the baby weighing scales to twenty barangay captains in Del Carmen.
The baby weighing scales are entrusted to safekeeping by community health workers for use by residents in Del Carmen.
Health is wealth, as they commonly say. This is one reason that Cherry Mobile continues to support the health sector of our country, believing that as we invest in the health of the communities, we empower them and make them ready to grab opportunities for growth. We support public medical institutions by providing them lacking equipment necessary to cure patients that have acquired diseases. Our objective is in line with the goal of Mayor Coro of Del Carmen; we desire to augment the needs of those who live along the poverty line. We desire to provide accessible health care to the poorest of the poor. We value the overall health of the community because only in unity can a community adjust, grow, and eventually change.
Cherry Mobile continues to expand the reach of this program to areas where community health is least supported by the national government. Again, the principle is to help change the nation one community at a time, and for Cherry Mobile, distance is no problem as long as help is given directly to those who really need it.

Raytheon wins $234m JPALS contract
Raytheon won a four-year $234 million initial low-rate production contract from the US Navy to outfit all of its nuclear-powered aircraft carriers and amphibious assault ships with 23 Joint Precision Approach and Landing Systems.
JPALS is a GPS-based precision landing system that guides aircraft to precision landings in all weather and surface conditions.
"The U.S. Navy understands how JPALS contributes to their mission success and safety of its people," said Matt Gilligan, vice president of Raytheon's Intelligence, Information and Services business.
"Other military services could also benefit from the system's ability to safely land both fixed and rotary-wing aircraft in almost any low-visibility environment."
Earlier this year, F-35B pilots participated in two demonstrations of a new expeditionary version of the JPALS system.
The proof-of-concept events showed how the GPS-based system could be reconfigured into a mobile version to support landings in a traditional airport setting.
Expeditionary JPALS fits in five transit cases and could be repackaged for a variety of small transit vehicles transportable by C-130. Once on the ground, the system can be fully operational in under 90 minutes say the firm.
JohnHartley
Are QE/PoW due to get JPALS?
Rudeboy
No plans at present, but with SRVL being proved it may be a re-fit that the RN gets interested in.
This is where the USMC tie up could play to the RN's advantage. If the USMC prove it, they could even insist on it onboard for safety reasons.
This new system sounds great but I don't understand if it's an auto land/hands off system or it just provides cues in the HUD like previous systems?
The way I understand it, Its a cue and guidance package, but the pilot still needs to fly the vehicle. I dont quite get the point of it being on F35A and F35C as well though…surely a modern runway will have all the kit someone needs to land in poor weather?
https://www.raytheon.com/sites/default/files/2018-10/4469309_JPALSinfographic_v4_Final.pdf
There are two systems, a land version for austere and rapid deployments and and ship based version. However, they work on the same principle and should be thought of as a digitized instrument landing system i.e. if you fly down the beam where the elevated and horizontal beams cross you'll find the airfield's threshold. JPALS does it slightly differently. It takes the airfields/ship's constantly updated time and position. Then via a secure data-ling transmits it to the aircraft. The bit that Raytheon are being cagey about is how that is accomplished? If it uses protocols like the Link-16, the broadcast… Read more »

Non invasive treatments are safer than traditional facelifts and offer more subtle, natural- looking results. Whether you are concerned about crow's feet or a sagging neckline, there are a range of liquid facelift options available. Liquid facelift provides a number of age defying results like wrinkle correction, facial-contouring and volumisation.
BOTULINUM TOXIN – its most popular uses are for treating crow's feet and frown lines, but the benefits extend to face lift and face contouring.
DERMAL FILLERS – Dermal filler contains hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body. When injected into the skin, these fillers correct wrinkles, hrdrate and sculpt the face for a more youthful look.

RF-based devices are a perfect solution for noninvasive facelift and treat skin laxity (including sagging jowls, double chin reduction), as well as wrinkle reduction, cellulite improvement, and body contouring.


This is a special edition gin that was made just for Christmas by Eden Mill. Fans may remember the first incarnation of this product was featured in the Scottish-based distiller's 12 Days of Christmas gift set and Christmas cracker. However, Eden Mill has decided to spread even more Christmas cheer this year with this 70cl bottle edition.
The inspiration behind this festive gin is obviously the seasonal sweet treat that it was named after. Appropriately, peppermint was used as a botanical to match the minty flavour of candy canes, while bilberry and hibiscus provide the traditional red colour. They recommend you pair Eden Mill Candy Cane Christmas Gin with a premium tonic and garnish with blackberries and, of course, a candy cane!
Delicately sweet with crisp menthol notes among juicy berry fruits, subtle juniper and a zesty, peppery conclusion.
I love Eden Mill Gin, but I have to say this was overwhelmingly minty, borderline mouthwash like. I will be trying to mix this into a cocktail to lessen the blow next time.
what a lovely gin ... this gin was wonderful , perfect for the christmas season.
Not as sweet as it looks. Nice subtle candy cane flavour!

Fishing with pesticides threatens Rama-Kriol communities deep in Indio-Maíz

GWC and partners aim to better understand, end harmful practice
By Joel Betts, GWC Associate Scientist for Mesoamerica
It was a beautiful day for indigenous Rama forest guards Tomás and Valerio as they paddled up the clear water of the Indian River, under the canopy of the primary rainforests of Nicaragua's Indio-Maíz Biological Reserve. They were on a routine patrol deep in the Rama-Kriol indigenous territory in southeast Nicaragua, where they have lived for decades hunting, fishing, and farming with their families. But around mid-day, when they came around a bend they were startled to see a team of nine mules at the river bank, and signs of a large group of men accompanying them—clearly up to no good at such a remote, protected site.
Unarmed and wanting to avoid a violent confrontation, they turned the boats downstream and paddled the two-day trip back to get more help. When they arrived days later, they found hundreds of fish heads and spines, a smoking rack, and a rock dam. It was clear—these men had been illegally poisoning and harvesting fish, again. The rock dam was set up to catch the poisoned, dying fish, and the mules were there to bring smoked fish to markets in the agricultural frontier.
This was not the first case.

People in rural southeast Nicaragua are already familiar with incidents like this. Although this case was on a larger, more organized scale than is typical, it is common for people to use pesticides to catch shrimp and fish in rivers. The practice's impacts to human health and aquatic ecosystems can be devastating. It is rarely reported, and unheard of for authorities to address the issue on any scale. It's also illegal in Nicaragua, even more so in Indio Maíz, and is punishable by a $5,000 fine or 6-12 months in prison. Existing records of this practice from other sources show that it is global in scale, although there are very few accounts in the scientific literature.
This year, Global Wildlife Conservation has been working with partners and the local indigenous communities to get a better handle on the extent of the use of pesticide fishing, the effects on people and wildlife, and the best methods to curb the behavior.
Community concern
When I first met GWC's Central America and Tropical Andes coordinator Dr. Chris Jordan in Nicaragua, I was in the stages of developing ideas for my master's thesis in Fisheries and Wildlife at Michigan State University. He and his partners in the Rama-Kriol government helped me hone in on the idea of assessing the impacts of illegal deforestation in the Rama-Kriol territory on stream ecosystems and traditional river fisheries. They mentioned that there had been cases of colonists fishing with pesticides and were very concerned about it. At that point, the GWC-backed Rama-Kriol forest ranger team was in its first year and had reported some of these incidences. This all sounded bad, and somewhat strange, but until I went to the field and talked to people, I had no idea the great extent of this problem.
During my field work, I asked just about everyone about the practice, and the stories were unnerving. Don Rigoberto, one of the forest rangers on the northern boundary of Indio Maíz, described some of what he had witnessed.
He and his wife were washing clothes in the river one day and noticed a wall of jumping fish and shrimp coming at them. Then they started to feel burning sensations on their arms and legs. Turns out their upstream neighbor was fishing with pesticides. Another upstream neighbor, a 15-year-old, lost eyesight in one eye because she was using the chemicals to fish and didn't understand the potency of the chemicals. Rigoberto's pregnant niece unknowingly consumed poisoned water in the creek behind his house and started to convulse when she arrived at the house. Her skin turned blue and her eyes bloodshot, Rigoberto says. She nearly died. Months later when his niece's baby was born, the baby was sick and had to be brought to a faraway hospital for a long stay.
Not only does drinking poisoned water put pregnant women at risk, but also pregnant cattle. Multiple ranchers from Rigoberto's community told stories of cattle losing their young before birth because they drank from poisoned waters.
Rigoberto described other cases where he noted the ecological effects—creeks stained yellow after the chemicals passed through, shrimp and fish dying more than 1,000 meters downstream of the poisoning site. He said often people are eating the fish, but other times they are just trying to catch shrimp to fish within the bigger rivers.

It has seen regional declines due to dams and overharvesting—and yet holds strong in Indian River. It is a historically important subsistence species for Rama and Kriol communities. Photo credit.
Disappearance of the fish
Don Santiago, lifelong resident of the Rama community of Sumukat on the Kukra River, north of Indio-Maíz, explained to me how people carry out the practice. Powdered pesticide is incorporated into ground-up corn or beans and thrown in the pools where fish are. As the fish consume the food, they consume the chemical and start to die and float up to the surface. People also use liquid pesticide, which fish take into their gills. The practice is common for the cattle ranchers within Santiago's community, and the fishery is very degraded. But it wasn't always that way.
The progression of stream degradation in his community is tied to the agricultural invasion. When he first lived along the Kukra River, the land was mostly primary rainforest. The rivers were full of a diversity of fish, and they relied heavily on them for food. In the last two decades, ranchers from the west have cut, burnt, and cleared forest, often right up to the stream bank. As they have introduced pesticides for agriculture, they have also used them in fishing. As the forests have disappeared, so have the fish. The combination of chemical fishing and streambank erosion from cattle has left streams unrecognizable compared to how Francisco knew them before the invasion, he says. His community can no longer rely on the rivers as a resource as they did in the past.
To lose river integrity in this way is not only a threat to traditional Rama lifestyles and their subsistence-based autonomy, but also to the region's biodiversity. Being undammed and surrounded by primary rainforest, the rivers and creeks of Indio Maíz are uniquely preserved and have fascinating and largely unstudied ecologies. They hold a rich diversity of fish, many species of migratory shrimp, and undocumented aquatic insect species. It would be more than a shame for their natural integrity to be lost because of such blatantly illegal and short-sighted behavior.

These lobster-like shrimp can travel over 100 kilometers journey's down river every year to the estuary to lay their eggs in brackish waters, where they are often harvested by local fisherman.

Curbing the crime
Wildlife crime is often the focus of conservation criminology, but fisheries crimes can be just as or more damaging to people and the ecosystems that support them. These stories represent an ecological epidemic—an example of behavior that is irrationally myopic. What motivates people to carry out such a devastating practice? Do people not understand the risks or damages involved? How have education and management systems in these reserves failed to the extent that people don't think twice about poisoning rivers? How might the issue be addressed?
GWC has received a grant from the New England Biolabs Foundation to better understand these questions and address this issue in Indio Maíz. In addition to funding ranger patrols to document these incidences, the grant also funded focus groups and interviews conducted by GWC associate Armando Dans and assistant, Juan Mendoza, in five communities in and surrounding the reserve to better understand the why, where, who, and how of pesticide use in fishing.
Using this information, this summer and fall GWC and local partners are mounting an education and advocacy campaign about the practice to help people in the communities understand its impacts and promote action against it. The hope is to create responsible bystanders who naysay the practice in communities, and to leverage pesticide vendors and community centers as education points. We also hope to raise the profile of the issue nationally and internationally through news and academic articles. The Rama-Kriol action plan for the Indio-Maíz Biological Reserve describes the issue of illegal pesticide fishing as a major priority for the reserve. As the agricultural frontier continues to move into the Rama-Kriol territory, illegal pesticide fishing and forest loss will continue. The long-term health of fisheries, and the traditional culture that these support may be lost if direct action is not taken.
Real names of the forest rangers were substituted for the sake of identity protection.

Sale of cricket helmets in Australia soar after Phillip Hughes death
By Amanda -
Australian cricketer Phillip Hughes death has caused a surge in the sale of cricket helmets.
It has been almost a week now since the death of Australian cricketer Phillip Hughes, who was struck by a short ball from Sean Abbott. Ever since the incident, the sales of cricket helmets in the country have soared. The sudden death of the batsman triggered an international debate about the protection of batsmen.
Stores in Australia have reported a 70% surge in the sales of helmets, suggesting that amateur and weekend cricketers are going in for the added protection. One store owner said that cricketers were being pressurized by their mothers, girlfriends and wives to buy a helmet and "do the right thing."
It was a little bit of a reality check for cricketers all around the world. A lot of times, people did not consider the helmet an important gear and often wore a cap instead. After the incident, people are becoming more wary of the fact that their life may be at risk without the helmet.
Talking about Phil Hughes, he was wearing an older helmet. There is a slight difference between the older helmets and the modern helmets. The newer ones have a little extra protection at the back and the visor is extended.
In the third test between New Zealand and Pakistan, New Zealand did not bowl one bouncer and did not celebrate a single wicket, paying respect to Phillip Hughes.

There's lots going for this place – whether it's the fact that Chef Aitor Jeronimo Orive formerly from Iggy's is at its helm, or simply because Basque cuisine is placed in the limelight; a rarity here. Whatever it is, this Unlisted Collection venture is poised for greatness.
The hype: There's lots going for this place – whether it's the fact that Chef Aitor Jeronimo Orive formerly from Iggy's is at its helm, or simply because Basque cuisine is placed in the limelight; a rarity here. Whatever it is, this Unlisted Collection venture is poised for greatness.
The vibe: The 30-seater Amoy Street shophouse space is bright and welcoming, in contrast to Blackwattle whose address it replaced. It retains much of its modern, clean design notes, but with a kitchen that is now more opened up and featuring three counter seats that weren't there before. Upstairs, a bar and private dining space can seat an additional ten.
The food: Chef Orive may be Spanish, but his family has roots in Basque Country. And it is from his heritage that he draws from for his interpretation of Basque cuisine. For better or worse, it is a more refined, modern take on traditionally hearty Basque food, an influence inexplicably related to Orive's fine dining chops.
There's a lunch set ($45) and a seven-course dinner ($115). Whichever you choose, there are a few dishes that stand out. Orive's version of the classic Marmitako stew is a must, and here, chef gives the dish an elevated treatment by offering it deconstructed. And instead of tuna, raw bonito is used. The result is a more nuanced dish that offers multiple taste profiles yet remains decidedly rustic.
Definitely have the Oxtail Bomba Rice, where braised angus oxtail is cooked with bomba rice, chicken stock, onions and mushroom, before being served topped with confit quail egg yolk and chive aioli. It's an intense confluence of flavours, with a texture and consistency reminiscent of risotto. Then dive into another very Basque dish, the txuleta, a generous serving of charcoaled angus prime rib and beef jus served alongside classic mash. It's beefy with a good amount of fat, and is best had with wine (or a Basque cider).
The drinks: There is a strong wine list here, with over 100 labels all from Spain. 150ml glasses start from $16. But since you're here, you might as well try some Basque cider.
They serve it traditionally, by having it poured from a half-corked bottle from height (kinda like the way teh tarik is made, but only pulled once). Importantly, this isn't cider as we commonly know it. It isn't sweet, has no additional flavouring, and is not carbonated. Tart, flat and dry (but sharp on the nose), the Zapiain Basque cider ($28/bottle) they offer craves to be paired with food for a marriage of drink and eats rarely seen here. In fact, they're probably the only one carrying it.
Why you'll be back: Are there even any other Basque cuisine-focused restaurants in Singapore? Orive's take on it may be refined and modern, but stays true to his heritage by offering touches of Basque tradition hardly seen here. We find it unique, and is an injection of variety that is much-welcomed.

Q: IOS/Objective-c: code reduction within animations I have this simple animation that fades in several labels, one at a time. But I wonder if it is possible to reduce the code with this logic?
[UIView animateWithDuration:0.50f animations:^{
    [_latLabel setAlpha:0.9f];
    [_firstLat setAlpha:0.9f];
} completion:^(BOOL finished) {
    [UIView animateWithDuration:0.50f animations:^{
        [_lonLabel setAlpha:0.9f];
        [_firstLon setAlpha:0.9f];
    }completion:^(BOOL finished) {
        [UIView animateWithDuration:0.50f animations:^{
            [_speedLabel setAlpha:0.9f];
            [_firstSpeed setAlpha:0.9f];
        }completion:^(BOOL finished) {
            [UIView animateWithDuration:0.50f animations:^{
                [_realNorthLabel setAlpha:0.9f];
                [_firstReal setAlpha:0.9f];
            }completion:^(BOOL finished) {
                [UIView animateWithDuration:0.50f animations:^{
                    [_magneticNorthLabel setAlpha:0.9f];
                    [_firstMagnetic setAlpha:0.9f];
                }];
            }];
        }];

    }];

}];

A: Considering the need to perform operation on 2 label objects while executing any single section of the animation block, create a dictionary structure wherein section indexes define the chronological order of the sections animations to be performed & each section index contains an array of label objects.
A simple iterating loop over this structure christened here as dictionaryOfSectionedLabels can help achieve the desired alternate animation implementation.
NSDictionary<NSNumber *, NSArray *> *dictionaryOfSectionedLabels = @{ @0: @[_latLabel, _firstLat],
                                                                      @1: @[_lonLabel, _firstLon],
                                                                      @2: @[_speedLabel, _firstSpeed],
                                                                      @3: @[_realNorthLabel, _firstReal],
                                                                      @4: @[_magneticNorthLabel, _firstMagnetic]
                                                                    };

for (NSUInteger i = 0; i < dictionaryOfSectionedLabels.allKeys.count; i++) {

    [UIView animateWithDuration:0.5 delay:0.5*i options:UIViewAnimationOptionLayoutSubviews animations:^{

        UILabel *firstLabel = [dictionaryOfSectionedLabels[@(i)] firstObject];
        UILabel *secondLabel = [dictionaryOfSectionedLabels[@(i)] lastObject];

        firstLabel.alpha = 0.9f;
        secondLabel.alpha = 0.9f;

    } completion:nil];
}

A: Creating an NSDictionary of your labels can be tedious and confusing code to read in the future. I'd recommend you just create a method.
-(void)customFadeForLabel:(UILabel *)theLabel withDelay:(float)delayAmount {

    [UIView animateWithDuration:0.50f
                          delay:delayAmount
                        options:UIViewAnimationOptionCurveEaseInOut
                     animations:^{
                         [theLabel setAlpha:0.9f];
                     }completion:nil];

}

Then just call it as needed with delays
[self customFadeForLabel:_latLabel withDelay:0.00f];
[self customFadeForLabel:_firstLat withDelay:0.00f];

[self customFadeForLabel:_lonLabel withDelay:0.50f];
[self customFadeForLabel:_firstLon withDelay:0.50f];

[self customFadeForLabel:_speedLabel withDelay:1.00f];
[self customFadeForLabel:_firstSpeed withDelay:1.00f];

[self customFadeForLabel:_realNorthLabel withDelay:1.50f];
[self customFadeForLabel:_firstReal withDelay:1.50f];

[self customFadeForLabel:_magneticNorthLabel withDelay:2.00f];
[self customFadeForLabel:_firstMagnetic withDelay:2.00f];

American Apparel slammed for "fueling Lolita fantasies and rampant sexism" in new ads
Dov Charney is gone -- but judging by the company's new "School Days" ads, it doesn't seem that way
Check out this article! https://www.salon.com/2014/08/07/american_apparel_slammed_for_new_ads_%e2%80%9cfueling_lolita_fantasies_and_rampant_sexism%e2%80%9d/
Jenny Kutner
August 8, 2014 12:46AM (UTC)
American Apparel, a company notorious for sexist advertisements and an even more sexist founder, has come under fire this week for a racy "back to school" campaign launched in the U.K., featuring young women posing provocatively in school settings. The brand is calling the campaign "School Days" and it isn't trying to hide any intended sexual allusions: Two of the items modeled are called the "Lolita skirt" and "Lolita top," no doubt in homage to the sexualized schoolgirl in Vladimir Nabokov's eponymous novel.
The Los Angeles-based chain reportedly first promoted the collection on American Apparel's U.K. Instagram account, but removed it in the face of growing backlash. The initial offending photo, of a woman in a short pleated skirt bent over with her underwear revealed, has since circulated widely on social media, where users have called the ad "sexist," "underage porn" and even "dangerous misogyny."
As Emilie Lawrence, who first posted a screenshot of the Instagram photo before it was deleted from American Apparel's social media, told i100: "The way in which American Apparel objectify and sexualize female bodies is damaging and rooted in patriarchal notions about a woman's worth. [Ads] like this reduce women down to little more than body parts to be claimed, and reinforce idea that our primary purpose is to be appealing to men."
The campaign is consistent with American Apparel's earlier sexualized imagery, which once reflected the artistic vision of former CEO Dov Charney, who was booted from the company in June. Charney, who has been accused of making inappropriate sexual advances on more than one occasion, allegedly created "a sexually charged, hostile environment" at American Apparel during his tenure. Perhaps the environment at the company has changed since his departure; judging by the new advertisements, though, that doesn't seem likely.

Wagashi are clad in beautiful colors and appear in shapes unique to Japan—thus they have earned a reputation as "edible art."
The primary categories of wagashi designs invoke nature in some form: flora such as plum blossom, cherry blossom, chrysanthemum, camellia, pine, peony, fern, kerria and azalea; fauna that include the crane, tortoise, rabbit, plover and whale; natural phenomena such as the moon, sun, mist, rain, snow and even sleet; and landscapes of mountains, rivers, hills and streams. Beyond nature, wagashi may also represent objects in Japanese daily life, such as fans, bamboo screens or tanzaku (thin strips of paper used for writing poetry).
These and other motifs have been beloved by the Japanese since ancient times, and they appear repeatedly in historical poetry and paintings as reminders of the ever-changing seasons, or as images that evoke auspicious meaning. All of them express a distinctively Japanese sense of beauty and response to nature.
The names of certain wagashi carry literary associations. One poetic allusion recreates the glorious blossom of a peony and is called Hana-no-oh, or "sovereign of flowers." The wagashi known as Tatsuta represents a mountain tinged with autumnal foliage, and is named after a location famed for centuries for its autumn leaves. Both the name and design call to mind references to the Tatsuta region in ancient poetry.
Realistic Motifs
Wagashi designs are generally either realistic or abstract. The most suitable realistic designs for sweets are refined and somewhat simplified. A triangular wooden stick (sankaku-bera) is used to form the lines of flower petals or the veins of leaves, skillfully reproducing patterns from nature; if these are too realistic, however, the sweet may no longer appear appetizing. The best expressions capture the essence of the subject in a vivid or lively way.
Among the models for designs which fulfill such criteria are the paintings of the Rinpa style, particularly as represented by artist Ogata Korin (1658-1716). The clean lines and attractive decorative qualities of the Rinpa style appeal to the modern aesthetic, and have had tremendous influence on the design of Japanese traditional crafts, from lacquerware and ceramics to kimono fabric. This influence also extends to wagashi.
Sweets in realistic shapes are most often made using molds of wood, ceramics or metal. Among the leading types are higashi, molded dried sweets including rakugan dry sweets, formed in elaborate wooden molds. These were once carved in detail by highly skilled craftsmen. Today, most dry sweets have become smaller in size, and are intended for use in the tea ceremony.
Highly realistic examples of "confectionary art" are also made for purely aesthetic purposes, using edible materials to create shapes such as cartwheels festooned with gorgeous peony or wisteria flowers, the forms of eagles and roosters, or even castles.
Abstract Imagery
Abstract wagashi designs are sometimes not immediately recognizable. Such motifs are often expressed using ingredients such as azuki beans or sesame seeds to suggest images of plovers, stars, frost or snow, leaving the observer the pleasure of imagining the meaning behind the design.
Wagashi color combinations can be quite lovely. Kinton, for example, consists of a ball of azuki bean paste to which colorful threads of bean paste (soboro-an) are attached using chopsticks. For jelled yokan sweets, color combinations carry a specific meaning: red and yellow may connote autumn leaves; yellow and green the image of young willow buds in spring; and red and white the auspicious image of plum blossoms.
These color combinations recall the aesthetic of layering kimono in prescribed colors according to the season, worn by courtiers during the Heian period (794-1185). As portrayed in The Tale of Genji and other works of classical literature, seasonal themes played an important role in the apparel of the aristocracy. They amused themselves by giving names associated with seasonal phenomena to certain combinations of inner and outer kimono, as well as to the layers of color visible at the sleeves, collar and hem of these robes which would conjure images of famous poems. In this sense, the designs of wagashi carry on the stylish sensibilities of the ancient court to this day.
Inspired by Wagashi
As wagashi motifs are borne of literature and nature, so they have influenced the arts beyond mere confectionery. Wagashi designs are themselves a popular source of artistic inspiration: some artists press washi (traditional Japanese paper) in wagashi molds to create original artwork; others produce wood carvings recalling the shapes of wagashi, or create accessories prompted by the forms of higashi. This is the timeless aesthetic of wagashi—a sensibility that evokes the fundamental Japanese spirit.
Kagizen Yoshifusa
"Kagizen Yoshifusa was established in the mid-Edo period. They have continued making Kyogashi (Kyoto sweets) at the corner of Kyoto's Hanamachi, the stylish district of Gion. Like the numerous long-established sweet shops in Kyoto, the sweets have been offered to common shoppers, the "Chajin" (tea connoisseur) and temple priests alike, but being situated in Gion, our sweets have been enjoyed widely in sphere of the cultured writers, artists, and patrons, along with the women of the Hanamachi.
The sweets of Kagizen now have not changed its ways from the past. Carefully selected ingredients as its base, they are the hand-works of craftsmen employing the simple recipe handed down through the generations — diligently and with great care. Our priority is placed on our finely honed established taste so that we may continue to please our customers with each passing day."

Ryuho-kan, a Kyoto sweet museum, is next door and displays historical materials and tools related to not only Kyoto sweets but also to all kinds of Japanese sweets. They also try to restore as many things as possible: tools for making sweets, old documents, containers offered to the Imperial family, and the works of Tomejiro Okina who devoted his energy to training the younger Japanese sweet makers. In the tea ceremony room on the first floor, enjoy a bowl of Japanese tea in a casual and relaxing atmosphere.

Oimatsu
This shop was established in 1908 amongst traditional o-chaya (the place where customers are entertained by maiko and geiko) buildings in Kyoto's oldest kagai district (where geiko/maiko live & work), Kamishichiken. Since then, it has been providing Yusoku-gashi (a type of sweet especially made for royal rituals) and sweets for the tea ceremony as well as a variety of other sweets all made with quality ingredients. Among their wide selection, the seasonal Nama-gashi is the most delightful. Delicate colors and shapes are created by skilful artisans and appear almost too beautiful to eat. Their popular items are Natsu Mikan, made of whole Japanese citrus fruit, and Renkon Mochi, a cake made with lotus starch and agar as a solidifier. Oimatsu offers sweets for customers to enjoy the seasonal events and nature.

Toraya
Toraya, a maker of wagashi (traditional Japanese confections), was founded in the early 16th century in Kyoto where it became a purveyor to the imperial court during the reign of Emperor Goyozei, which was from 1586 to 1611. Toraya established a foothold in Tokyo in 1869, after the national capital was transferred there on the heels of the Meiji Restoration. At present, Toraya has three factories and approximately 80 shops throughout Japan, in addition to a boutique in Paris.

Onchimakishi Kawabata Doki
The Doki family once served a food called Chimaki to the imperial family for about 330 years, from 1536 to around 1868. The origin of their Chimaki dates back to the 15th century, a time after the long civil war period ended in Kyoto and the imperial family had serious financial problems. The first generation owner of Doki started to serve Chimaki to the imperial family in order to help them. It was like a dumpling (the size of a baseball) with cooked red bean paste covers sticky rice cake inside. He brought the Chimaki to the imperial family every morning and meanwhile, their Chimaki became regarded as an essential item in the daily morning court ceremony. The oldest historical record mentioning the name of Kawabata Doki can be found in a local court report document in 1512, which guaranteed the right of the Doki Family to run a business as a rice cake shop. The name of the shop, Doki, is from the name given to the first generation owner after he retired and became a Buddhist priest. It is said that the first Doki learned tea ceremony from Sho-o Takeno along with Rikyu Sen, who is regarded as the founder of tea ceremony. Today, Doki still serves sweets at important tea ceremony parties in Kyoto. The tradition of serving Doki's sweets to the imperial family as a sacred offering for the deity has transformed into beautiful Chimaki and sweets. Many people recommend Doki's "Suisen Chimaki" as a Kyoto summer specialty. Dough made with fine kudzu starch and white sugar is wrapped with a bamboo leaf and is steamed to become a sticky dumpling. The simpler the ingredients are, the more their original taste decides the final taste. During the Gion Matsuri Festival in July, their Chimaki are sold at each float that is constructed in the city, however, they are not edible, but are sacred amulets. People hang the Chimaki at the entrance of their houses, as it is believed to obstruct bad fortune from entering. The Chimaki is replaced every year and old ones are brought to Yasaka Jinja Shrine. Doki's Chimaki, both for eating and as an amulet, is an item that Kyoto people always strive to obtain in summer.
Opening Hours: 9:30 – 5:30
Closed Wednesdays and August
Shojuken
Shojuken opened in 1932 and has served fine Japanese sweets to Kennin-ji Temple and Kodai-ji Temple for many years. An advance order is necessary for their fresh sweets because they want to provide only the best quality items. Every sweet represents seasonal motifs and are preferred as a special gift and as a sweet served in the traditional tea ceremony. One of the sweets, "Okuribi" has a symbol of the Gozan no Okuribi fire ritual on its surface. A thin skin of baked sweet dough wrapped around sweet red bean paste. Simple, yet Kyoto's seasonal image can be discovered in every individual sweet at Shojuken.
Opening Hours: 10:00 – 6:00
Demachi Futaba
Deamchi Futaba is a small yet very popular Japanese sweet shop founded in 1899. There is always a queue in front of the shop consisting of those customers who come to purchase their signature item, "Myodai Mamemochi (170 yen per piece)." This is a sweet dumpling in which a thin, soft sheet of rice cake wraps around a small ball of sweet and smooth red bean (from Tokachi, Hokkaido) paste containing cooked black beans. The softness of the rice cake, sweetness of red bean paste and slight saltiness of black bean achieves perfect harmony. If you are not a sweet lover, it is worth trying their plain rice cake only with black beans.
Syogetsu
The first owner trained at Toraya before moving on to start Syogetsu in 1916. The shop moved to its current location in 1988, specializing in making pre-ordered wagashi.


View cart "KSMISK – MAGMA EP (PL019NK)" has been added to your cart.
KSMISK drop three atmospheric techno cuts for their second release on Norway's PLOINK this August.
Made up of Truls Kvam and Robin Crafoord, the Scandinavian duo are well known under their Trulz & Robin moniker and have released on the likes of Prins Thomas' labels Full Pupp and Rett i Fletta, not to mention their own imprints Cymasonic and Cymawax.
'Magma' is a deep and mesmerising production that continues to evolve as more elements are incorporated, blending crunchy kicks with serene pads and otherworldly effects.
'Lava' is a dark and suspenseful number in comparison, establishing a raw hook and ominous nuances at its base whilst sci-fi inspired synths cut in and out of the mix.
Finally, an ebbing beatless track titled 'Tuya' generates a melancholic aesthetic to conclude the release.


I started with a small section and sprayed it with a water bottle to get the fabric slightly wet, you want the paint to soak into the fabric.
I used long broad strokes and worked fairly quick. Depending on the type of fabric you have, it can be a little tricky to keep the paint even looking. Try not to freak out if it gets splotchy, just keep painting and smoothing it out.
I painted and painted and then painted some more…I ended up putting two coats on to achieve the desired color.
I think I'm in love. Its not perfect, but pretty good for a first attempt. I love the character that the rips and tears give this chair and the color is to die for. I also REALLY like saying the word "Vermilion". If you say it with a sinister accent, its sound very eee-vil and mysterious.
You wouldn't want to have an entire living room of painted furniture, but for an accent piece, its fantastical!
The cushion part is still fairly soft, it has a little bit of a leathery feel and look and slightly rough texture to it, but you can sit in it without feeling like the paint is cracking or that it will rub off onto your bootie.
There are tons of tutorials and various methods online for painting upholstery, just pick one and go for it!

The Beechcraft Model 18, or "Twin Beech", as it is better known, is a 6-11 seat, twin-engine, low-wing, conventional-gear aircraft that was manufactured by the Beech Aircraft Corporation of Wichita, Kansas. This model saw military service during and after World War II in a number of versions including the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) C-45 Expeditor, AT-7 Navigator, AT-11 Kansan; and for the United States Navy (USN), UC-45J Navigator and the SNB-1 Kansan.
The Beech 18 is the most modified U.S.-certified aircraft design, with over 200 Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) approved Supplemental Type Certificates (STCs) on record for the aircraft.
In addition to carrying passengers the aircraft's uses have included aerial spraying, sterile insect release, fish seeding, dry ice cloud seeding, aerial firefighting, airborne mail pick up and drop, ambulance service, numerous movie productions, skydiving, freight, gun- and drug-smuggling, engine test bed, skywriting and banner towing. The Model 18 was the first aircraft flown by Philippine Airlines, Asia's first and oldest airline. Many are now in private hands as prized collectibles.
By the late 1930s, Beechcraft management speculated that a demand would exist for a new design dubbed the Model 18 which would have a military...

Inside info?–Is DIS selling ABC?
Last week, authorities arrested the assistant to a high-ranking DIS communications official and her boyfriend. The boyfriend allegedly sent a cold-call form letter to a large number of hedge funds earlier this year, offering to sell them advance copies of DIS March quarter earnings information, which the girlfriend has presumably agreed to provide.
–could this possibly be a pathetic attempt at a sting operation by the SEC?
–in the case of a mature, large-cap company like DIS, would any earnings surprise be large enough to move the stock a significant amount?
–who else got the letter?
–was this a colleague's idea of a joke?
Having a strong sense of ethics, or maybe seeing nothing but downside from the offer, the recipients turned the boyfriend in to the SEC.
The boyfriend also allegedly said he could provide details of advanced negotiations between DIS and private equity firms to sell them ABC television. As the story came out, DIS denied it (which means nothing. It could be there are "discussions" under way but no "negotiations," in DIS's mind, or that there are discussions, but they're not "advanced," or some other such equivocation).
The possible sale of ABC is much more interesting information than whether DIS will report eps of $.60 a share or $.61 in any given quarter. And the fact that something is brewing, which was being offered for free (DIS stock temporarily rose by 5% on the announcement of the arrests and the reasons for them), is probably more significant than the names of the private equity firms.
Why would selling ABC be good news?
Traditional network broadcast TV is moving down the internet-created road to oblivion already trod by music sales, newspapers, books and magazines. Content creation for viewing on home screens will doubtless survive, but it's likely that over-the-air delivery won't. ABC has both. It's not clear what parts of ABC are supposed to be being sold; although my guess would be gaining the content creation business would be the inducement for someone to take the network.
DIS seems to me to be running ABC in a reasonable way, trying to maximize the cash flow it generates for investment elsewhere in DIS, while retaining some degree of profitability. ABC is small in the scope of overall DIS, both in terms of contribution to operating income and in potential value as a sale at maybe $1 billion.
If ABC is so tiny a part of DIS, why should investors be interested one way or the other about what happens with ABC? The answer is the real, and—I think—non-obvious, concern of investors about ABC.
The real investment issue is, to coin a phrase, the profit asymmetry of the ABC business. Wall Street firmly believes that there's a ceiling, and a gradually downward-sloping one at that, for the earning potential of ABC. It's not plausible that anything surprisingly good, and enough to move the DIS stock price up, is likely to emerge from normal ABC operations. So there's only downside.
One possibility is that profits continue a gentle decline to the point that one day ABC simply isn't there anymore. That's the good case. On the other hand, it's possible that we wake up one day to find that ABC is spouting red ink like the BP well in the Gulf of Mexico is spouting oil, and that it will cost, say, $3 billion to shut it down. Think: music, or newspapers.
I'm not saying that the second case is likely. I have no opinion. But it's a common pattern with companies that an apparently insignificant business an investor decides to give little research effort to suddenly turns into a black hole of losses that begins devouring the profits of the rest of the company.
The good news for an analyst, then, would be the removal of uncertainty surrounding a complex business that adds little to DIS but could lose it a lot.


An Upper Area Court III, Kasuwan Nama in Jos, on Friday, sentenced a 61-year-old businessman Isaac Phillip to three years in prison for r"ping an eight-year-old girl.
The judge, Yahaya Mohammed, did not give Mr Phillip an option of fine, saying it would serve as a deterrent to others.
Mr Mohammed also ordered the convict to pay N20, 000 as compensation to the victim's family to enable them pay her hospital bills.
Earlier, the prosecutor, Ibrahim Gukwat, told the court that the case was reported by one Favour Emmanuel of Mado Tudun-wada who is the victim's mother on October 9 and was transferred from "A" Divisional Headquarters Jos to Legal Department Jos for prosecution.
Mr Gukwat told the court that the accused lured the girl into his house and raped her.
Mr Gukwat said the offence contravened the provisions of Section 283 of the Penal Code law of Northern Nigeria.

Consumers have increasingly turned to online stores to do their shopping, but with so much competition in play, it's hard for ecommerce business owners to remain competitive. Your online catalog exists to showcase your products to an interested audience, but if that audience never gets their eyes on your offers, it won't matter how good your deals or products are.
One solution is to optimize your online product catalog for search engines, which will help you rank higher, achieve more brand visibility, and get more traffic to your pages. So how can you do this without spending a fortune?
1. Use printed and online catalogs together.
If you're used to operating exclusively online, using a printed catalog may seem foreign to you, but catalog printing is relatively inexpensive through sites like Printing Center USA. It's a good way to quickly advertise the existence of your online catalog to an audience who may otherwise miss it (demographics who rely on printed advertisements and news), and start directing traffic to your site. This, in turn, creates a synergy between your digital and physical campaigns and jumpstarts your SEO efforts with new traffic, shares, and social media buzz.
2. Use specific product names in your page titles.
Your page titles and descriptions will be the main sources of information that search crawlers use to judge the relevance of your page. Including the specific name of your product will ensure that your page is considered when consumers search for that name; for example, you'll want to include the brand, the model, the model number, and the variation (if applicable). You'll also want to briefly describe the product in the meta description.
3. Include at least two paragraphs of descriptive text for each product.
You'll also want to include lots of descriptive text--at least two paragraphs' worth--for each of your product pages. According to Spotify's guide, this not only gives more content for search crawlers to consider and index, it also helps consumers by giving them more information to make a final decision.
4. Optimize your images and videos.
Including images and videos on your product pages is a good way to secure more customer engagement, and you'll likely earn more backlinks, which are vital if you want to build your authority over time. You can optimize images and video by giving them a descriptive name, including alt text (for images), and including a meta description that describes what's happening (in the video). You may also consider hosting your videos on YouTube and embedding them on your pages, giving you another outlet of optimization; Backlinko has an excellent guide on YouTube optimization if you're interested in more information.
5. Include reviews and testimonials.
Reviews and testimonials will make your site seem more authoritative, and as an added bonus, they'll help push consumers to make a decision. In fact, 88 percent of consumers trust online reviews as much as personal recommendations, so the more reviews you're able to collect, the better.
6. Answer common consumer questions on-site.
You should also include a brief Q&A section on each of your product pages. Here, you'll list at least a handful of common consumer questions with common phrasing, alongside detailed answers that address those concerns. Again, the information may help consumers make a decision, but they'll also optimize your pages for long-tail keyword searches, making you more likely to rank when customers submit those queries.
Microformatting, sometimes called "structured markup," is a way to format your backend code in a way that allows Google to better understand and categorize it. For example, you can point out what portion of your page is a collection of reviews, and feed information like star ratings and review text to search engine crawlers. This makes it more likely that these features will show up as "rich answers" or "rich snippets," the sampled bits of onsite content that sometimes appear above regular search results in SERPs. Schema.org is still the best name in microformatting, and they have an excellent guide on how to get started.
SEO is a complex strategy, and if you want to get serious with it, you'll need to hire an expert or start educating yourself in more advanced technical areas. As you can see, however, you don't need to be an expert to get started. These strategies should be able to help you refine the audience you're targeting, differentiate yourself from your competitors, and start building the authority you need to outrank them. Remember, this is a long-term strategy, so don't be frustrated if you don't see results right away.
Stick with it, and eventually you'll see your traffic rise.

Can you explain the Line Manager role and how you support the team?
At DICE LA the line managers are responsible for the development and coaching of the talent and for studio culture.

One of my favorite places in LA are the Venice canals – a hidden oasis in the middle of the city that transports you into a different world.

Abstract: © 2014 AIP Publishing LLC. We study the near field of a zero-net-mass-flux (ZNMF) actuated round jet using direct numerical simulations. The Reynolds number of the jet ReD = 2000 and three ZNMF actuators are used, evenly distributed over a circle, and directed towards the main jet. The actuators are triggered in phase, and have a relatively low momentum coefficient of Cμ = 0.0049 each. We study four different control frequencies with Strouhal numbers ranging from StD = 0.165 to StD = 1.32; next to that, also two uncontrolled baseline cases are included in the study.We find that this type of ZNMF actuation leads to strong deformations of the near-field jet region that are very similar to those observed for non-circular jets. At the end of the jet's potential core (x/D = 5), the jet-column cross section is deformed into a hexagram-like geometry that results from strong modifications of the vortex structures. Two mechanisms lead to these modifications, i.e., (i) self-deformation of the jet's primary vortex rings started by distortions in their azimuthal curvature by the actuation, and (ii) production of side jets by the development and subsequent detachment of secondary streamwise vortex pairs. Further downstream (x/D = 10), the jet transforms into a triangular pattern, as the sharp corner regions of the hexagram entrain fluid and spread.We further investigate the global characteristics of the actuated jets. In particular when using the jet preferred frequency, i.e., StD = 0.33, parameters such as entrainment, centerline decay rate, and mean turbulent kinetic energy are significantly increased. Furthermore, high frequency actuation, i.e., StD = 1.32, is found to suppress the mechanisms leading to large scale structure growth and turbulent kinetic energy production. The simulations further include a passive scalar equation, and passive scalar mixing is also quantified and visualized.
