Gardiner officials to consider extending Summer Street development agreement
Developers Collaborative, a Portland-based property development company, has been working to build out parcels that city officials acquired along Cobbosseecontee Stream at the edge of the city's downtown.

Gardiner officials will consider extending an agreement with the company that's developing four parcels of property at the north edge of the city's downtown when they meet Wednesday.
Developers Collaborative, based in Portland, has been working to develop the four former T.W. Dick Co. parcels on Summer Street since it was identified as the preferred developer in late 2015.
Tracey Steuber, economic development director and planner for the city of Gardiner, said the existing agreement is being extended for a year.
City officials acquired the four lots on Summer Street from the former T.W. Dick Co., with plans to clean up the industrial contaminants on the site and redevelop the properties, some of which border Cobbosseecontee Stream.
In 2015, MaineGeneral Medical Center provided the city with a letter of intent, signaling its interest in relocating some of its Gardiner offices to a new medical arts building on one of the Summer Street parcels. Thanks in part to that document, Gardiner officials were able to secure more than $750,000 in both state and federal funds to clean up the site.
Its early proposals included both affordable senior housing and affordable workforce housing as well as a medical arts building. Since then, MaineGeneral opted to relocate some of its Gardiner offices and an express care center to Central Maine Crossing, a site under development on Brunswick Avenue, near Exit 49 on Interstate 295 and not far from the Libby Hill Business Park.
In 2018, Developers Collaborative completed construction on an 8,000-square-foot facility to lease to Fresenius Medical Care, an international company that provides kidney care and other medical services.
Construction on the workforce housing units started earlier this year. Michael Lyne, chief operating officer of Developers Collaborative, said Tuesday that construction is expected to be completed on those units by March.
"Some are flats and some are town homes," Lyne said. "We have a cool kit of parts we can adjust depending on the site."
By the end of the year, DC Management will start to put together a list of applicants for the one-two- and three-bedroom units, he said. For more information, interested people can call 772-3225.
The final parcel for development sits at the northwest corner of the intersection of Summer and Bridge streets, overlooking the bridge construction project that's now underway. And that's the parcel for which the extension for the option is being considered.
Lyne said while the broker marketing that remaining parcel has received a number of calls, the bridge construction that is expected to continue into next year may be dampening interest in the site.
"It's an interesting site for some, not for others," he said, adding that a small medical or professional office would benefit from the traffic that passes that site every day.
He said he expects more targeted marketing of the site to start soon.
City elected officials are also expected to:
• Hold a public hearing and consider proposed changes to the General Assistance Ordinance;
• Consider a request from former City Councilor Phil Hart to install a Waterfront Park memorial bench in honor of Donnie Mansir;
• Consider the city's fiscal year 2020 contract with Gardiner Ambulance Service;
• Discuss, evaluate and consider approving sewer abatement requests
• Consider approval of a victualer's license for Diggy Dogs Food Truck to sell food at Bateau Brewing on Sept. 20
• Accept the minutes to the Aug. 14 and Sept. 4 meetings
Executive sessions will be held on two topics at the end of the meeting, one on a property tax poverty abatement request and one on the annual review of the city manager.
The Gardiner City Council meets at 6 p.m., Wednesday in the City Council chamber at 6 Church St.

Wind Turbines Suspected of Killing Whale Family
23 May, 2017 by	Dave Blount
Won't someone please save the whales from wind turbines?
Marine environmental experts blame offshore wind turbines for the deaths of three minke whales that washed up on British beaches, The Times reported Monday.
Wildlife experts claim that the noise generated by wind turbines affected the sonar that whales use to navigate, causing them to beach themselves. There are several commercial offshore wind farms close to where the whales beached themselves.
Get ready for a heavy tug on the heartstrings.
The U.K. coastguard received reports of a minke whale calf that had become separated from its mother Friday evening. By the next afternoon, it had been found dead at the mouth of the River Ore, and its mother washed up near Felixstowe. On Sunday, another dead adult whale surfaced, indicating that an entire family could have been killed.
This wouldn't be the first time that wind turbines have inflicted submarine sorrow:
Both construction and ordinary operations noises from offshore wind turbines can travel immense distances under water. This harms whales, dolphins, marine mammals and fish that communicate with noises in order to breed.
Magnified by the water, sound waves from wind energy boondoggles deafen sea creatures, screw up their swim bladders, or even kill them outright.
Wind turbines are similarly lethal to birds, especially raptors like the bald eagle.
But they are also highly inefficient, so they appeal to moonbats. Consequently, the government favors them over fossil fuels and nuclear energy, and subsidizes them lavishly with our money.
Causing carnage under the surface.

Kansas City Star reporters win Burton W. Marvin Kansas News Enterprise Award
LAWRENCE — Journalists from The Kansas City Star are recipients of the Burton W. Marvin Kansas News Enterprise Award from the William Allen White School of Journalism & Mass Communications.
Each year during William Allen White Day events, the William Allen White Foundation presents the award to journalists at a newspaper circulated in Kansas who have demonstrated enterprise in developing and writing a significant news story. Winners this year are Mike Hendricks and Matt Campbell of The Star for their series "Fatal Echoes."
In the series published last year, Hendricks and Campbell showed how failure to follow widely circulated safety regulations led to the deaths of hundreds of firefighters and injuries to thousands of others. Fire officials and safety regulators said that change had been hampered by lack of training requirements, lax oversight, resource-starved budgets and a hero culture among firefighters that pushes them to ignore their own safety. Hendricks and Campbell analyzed hundreds of federal and state reports, inspection records and meeting transcripts, and interviewed officials, safety experts, firefighters and families as they pieced together stories of tragedies that officials say could have been avoided if departments had followed procedures that fire departments knew about but failed to implement.
The award, to be presented at a private event April 21, is named in honor of Burton W. Marvin, former dean of the journalism school and the first director of the William Allen White Foundation.
On April 20, William Allen White Day events will include honoring journalist Charlie Rose with the William Allen White Foundation National Citation Award. Rose will not be able to attend the ceremony but will receive the award in absentia. Special guest at the program will be journalist and television commentator Bob Schieffer, who will participate in a Q&A discussion with journalism school student Jackson Kurtz. PBS journalist Judy Woodruff also will attend and give a tribute to her friend and co-worker Gwen Ifill, who received the National Citation last year and died Nov. 14, 2016.
The William Allen White Day program will immediately precede the school's scholarships and awards ceremony, in which the school will award nearly $500,000 to journalism school students. The public is invited to the events starting at 3 p.m. April 20 in Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union.

I have Multiple Chemical Sensitivity and was afraid to have the carpet cleaned because of past experiences with lingering odours. I called Ivan and he assured me it would not smell after the procedure. He was right! There was a faint smell during the cleaning which he said would occur, but this dissipated quickly and 24 hours later, there was no odour at all. I even put my nose in the carpet, and still could smell nothing. Ivan is so helpful and a joy to work with on top of the fact that he did the best cleaning on our carpet we ever had. We will be regulars. THANK YOU, IVAN! You have made one hurdle with MCS much easier!

Q: how to point from a subdomain to a dedicated ip in my home isp account i need to point from my hosting account to my local server
so i thought the best way is to do it using a subdomain
though the issue is that i cant figure which is the right way to do it
using same DNS as my domain / leaving it blank
using my internet isp dns maybe ?
what is the right way to point a subdomain to a static ip of my isp internet account at home ?

A: You don't need a subdomain, you need an A record (address). You could set up a subdomain, and then use an A record within that, so, if your domain is example.com:
Your domain is set up as example.com, your public web server A record might be www.example.com. You could then set up your home server A record as homeserver.example.com
A sub domain might be 'home.example.com`, and a server in the sub domain will have an A record of myserver.home.example.com.
In all these cases the IP address of your A record should be the IP address of the network side (external side) of your home internet router. If the address is static this will work, but if it's not you'll need to subscribe to a DNS service that supports Dynamic DNS, and that's a whole different story.
How you go about setting all this up is ISP-dependent.
Note that the external address of your network will not match the internal address of your server, so you'll need to set up port-mapping on the router to allow inbound traffic to reach your server.
..and lastly, do you really want to risk opening up your home network to the ravages of the public internet? Do this only if you really know what you're doing, and possibly not even then.

Every once in a while, an invention comes along that addresses a fundamental problem of our species. On the other hand, since we've successfully suffered through thousands of years of human history without a solution, you have to wonder how fundamental the problem actually is.
The problem I'm thinking of arises when you visit a public restroom, though I suppose it can also happen at home. You step into the comfort station at the airport, Yankee Stadium, or your local movie house and see dozens of stalls.
Some are occupied. Others aren't. Some merely appear busy because their doors are slammed shut. Others look free but are occupied because their residents neglected to lock the door.
So, how are you supposed to tell the difference? Enter Tooshlights, red-and-green traffic signals for the bathroom goer.
Mr. Klevens said he was referring, in particular, to the swells with seats in the V.I.P. "Pool Circle" and the comfort station designated for their use. By trade, Mr. Klevens is a composer and musician; his business partner, Todd Bermann, is a contractor who works on the Hollywood Bowl's audio/visual systems. That's how Mr. Bermann became privy, no pun intended, to the issue.
The way it works is that each stall is equipped with a sensor.
"When the line of slight is broken it turns the light red," Mr. Klevens said. Another option is to replace the existing locks with toosh locks that when turned shut will send a wireless signal to the ceiling light in front of that particular stall, turning it red.
This is all very new, very cutting-edge. The company started only last month. However, Mr. Klevens reported that it has already lighted 85 stalls at the Hollywood Bowl. Other customers—the CEO said nondisclosure agreements prevent him from sharing names—include a 50,000-plus-seat stadium, a shopping mall group, and a company with more than 50 fulfillment centers.
With Tooshlights they'll be able to check availability without ever dismounting, thus enhancing productivity.
It sounded wonderful, but I still had some troubleshooting questions. For example, what happens if someone enters the stall but neglects to lock the door, failing to trigger the sensor? This behavior happens routinely from my experience, for some mortifying reason often on airplanes.
I couldn't agree more. The first thing I do is bolt the door. It's the only place to get privacy on airplanes these days. For however long I have the lavatory, I like to think of it as my little pied-à-terre.
While red-and-green lights are universal signifiers, Mr. Klevens said there is no reason Tooshlights can't be customized.
To be honest, I still wasn't totally sold on Tooshlights. It's not that I deny there's a need. But does it really rise to the point where you need to invest $700 to $800 a stall, by Mr. Klevens's estimate, to install traffic signals?
But then the CEO, who said the company is named after his daughter Jordan's nickname rather than a generic posterior—"She had a cute little toosh when she was a baby"—shared part of their business plan that won me over completely.
Sheer genius. And certain to become as visited on my iPhone as my flashlight or Google Earth app.
For example, if I was at a Mets game and I knew that there were seven free stalls at the nearest men's room and the Mets were down (or up) 9-0 with one out in the fifth, I might choose that moment to visit the restroom rather than wait to join the great Mississippi of fans descending on the comfort station between innings, sending the line snaking out the door.
"If there are no stalls available," Mr. Klevens explained, "you might click on the next bathroom." Another 20-second journey might turn into a lifesaver. And, in any case, add immeasurably to your enjoyment of the game, whether your team wins or loses.

Catherine Quicquat est une Veveysanne condamnée au bûcher pour sorcellerie dans la région de Vevey en mars 1448. Son procès fait partie de la première chasse aux sorcières organisée dans le Pays de Vaud.

Biographie

Procès
Le procès de Catherine Quicquat se déroule en mars 1448 à Vevey, et fait partie de trois premières affaires qui ont été jugées dans le Pays de Vaud, alors sous administration savoyarde. Ces procès présente les premières applications pratiques du concept du sabbat, tel qu'il a été élaboré dans les premières décennies du . Les inquisiteurs forcent les accusés à donner une image riche en détails de leurs prétendues activités nocturnes. Dans la première moitié du  des clercs et des magistrats commencent à croire et à faire croire aux autres que des personnes se rendent la nuit dans des endroits isolés  assister à des assemblées  secrètes présidées par le diable.

Le procès de Catherine Quicquat est exemplaire parce que l'inquisiteur Pierre d'Aulnay, ayant affaire à une femme l'interroge longuement et avec insistance sur ses pratiques sexuelles avec le diable, et Catherine Quicquat, décrite comme entourée d'animaux est renvoyée au rang de la bestialité. Or la pratique de Pierre d'Aulnay est différente lorsqu'il interroge, dans le même type de procédures, des hommes. Ceci peut s'expliquer par le fait que les instructeurs du procès disposent d'un exemplaire des Errores gazariorum, traité qui théorise notamment pour la première fois le sabbat des sorcières.

Contexte historique

Le pape Jean XXII publie d'abord en 1317 une bulle élargissant les droits des inquisiteurs, à la suite d'affaires d'empoisonnement dans lesquelles les protagonistes ont tenté de faire usage de pratiques magiques.

En 1320, Jean XXII consulte des spécialistes afin de déterminer le caractère potentiellement maléfique de la magie savante pratiquée par les magiciens de cour, dans les cas où le praticien invoque des démons afin de les mettre à son service. C'est dans le cadre de cette réflexion menée à la tête de l'Église que, peu à peu, la sorcellerie se trouve assimilée à une hérésie et l'Inquisition chargée de sa répression.

En août 1326 la bulle pontificale Super illius specula, assimilant pratiquement la sorcellerie à l'hérésie permettant d'inculper et poursuivre par un tribunal ecclésiastique dans le cadre d'un procès les personnes ayant recours à ces pratiques.

Interrogatoires et aveux
Catherine Quicquat est supposément corrompue par Blandis Loquuis (aussi dénommée Sybille Gonra) et Perronet Mercier qui l'invitent à partager un repas.

Dans ses aveux lorsqu'elle est interrogée par l'inquisiteur Pierre d'Aulnay à Vevey le 17 mars 1448 après avoir subi des tortures la veille, Catherine indique s'être rendue menée par  Jeannette Avonsaz, Pierre Flour et Sibylle Blandis Loquiis dans le pré de Gilamont appartenant à Jean Got.

Là, elle aurait refusé de prêter hommage au maître de la synagogue, un renard appelé Rabiel. Catherine Quicquat situe la tenue de ces assemblées vers 1437.

Elle affirme également que les dénommés Jean Got et Jean Boverat de Vevey, tous deux notaires, étaient présents. Jean Boverat est  également poursuivi pour sorcellerie à diverses reprises. Mis en cause une première fois en 1441 à la suite d'accusations d'Aymonet Sauter, il adresse une supplique au Pape et semble échapper à une condamnation puisqu'on retrouve trace de ses activités notariales entre 1446 et 1447. Cependant en 1448, il est à nouveau accusé par Jacques Duriet de Blonay de participer à des repas cannibales, les aveux de Catherine Quicquat venant renforcer les suspicions initiales.

Catherine Quicquat est condamnée au bûcher en 1448.

If you're looking for a cute and clever way of remotely triggering your smartphone's camera, gadget-maker Gizumon has two little Bluetooth devices just for you.
The first one is a Bluetooth remote shutter shaped like a 135 film canister. The second is another Bluetooth remote trigger designed to look like a classic twins-lens reflex camera, such as the Mamiya 330 or Rolleiflex.
Both triggers use Bluetooth 3.0 to remotely fire off your smartphone's shutter (it replicates the volume shutter button all iOS devices and most Android devices feature) from a distance of up to 10m. The remotes are charged via MicroUSB and can trigger roughly 30,000 times before needing to be recharged.
The 135 canister trigger will set you back approximately 1,980 yen (US$16) when it goes on sale, while the TLR shutter will cost 2,500 yen (US$20). There isn't a particular release date noted, but you can keep an eye on Gizumon's Amazon store to see when they're in stock.

Q: How to resize and image and save as byte array I'm trying to let the user select an image file, then resize the image to a couple different sizes if needed, then save the resized images to byte arrays that will be saved into a database.  I keep getting errors when converting the image to a byte array (but only if the image was resized).  Hopefully someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong.
FYI, I'm not a professional programmer and usually get major criticism when I post my code.  I'm definitely open to any feedback or suggestions you may have so please be nice..lol
I usually get this error in the SaveImage() function on the Image.Save(mStream, TheImage.RawFormat) line
System.ArgumentNullException: 'Value cannot be null. Parameter name: encoder'
Sometimes I get a framework error and can't really tell where error occurs.
EDIT: I ended up extending the Image class which seems to be working pretty good so far.
Imports System.Drawing.Imaging
Imports System.IO

Module Extentions
    <Runtime.CompilerServices.Extension()>
    Public Function GetBytes(ByRef bc As Image, Optional Format As ImageFormat = Nothing) As Byte()
        'Converts Image to Byte Array
        If Format Is Nothing Then Format = ImageFormat.Jpeg
        Using mStream As New MemoryStream()
            bc.Save(mStream, Format)
            Return mStream.ToArray()
        End Using
    End Function

    <Runtime.CompilerServices.Extension()>
    Public Function ReSize(ByRef bc As Image, MaxWidth As Integer, MaxHeight As Integer) As Image
        'Resize image to fit within MaxWidth & MaxHeight while keeping aspect ratio
        If MaxWidth < bc.Width Or MaxHeight < bc.Height Then

            Dim NewWidth As Integer = CInt(Math.Round(bc.Width * Scale))
            Dim NewHeight As Integer = CInt(Math.Round(bc.Height * Scale))

A: When you create a new Bitmap with this constructor:
new Bitmap([OriginalImage], [Width], [Height])

you may think that the [OriginalImage] format is taken into consideration. It's not. A new raw Bitmap is created with the size specified and the [OriginalImage] is drawn inside the new container.
The new Bitmap object is created in memory and its ImageFormat is ImageFormat.MemoryBmp.
This ImageFormat doesn't have an Encoder/Decoder.
When you save the Image using the Image.Save(Stream, Format) method overload passing the new Bitmap object RawFormat, you're passing ImageFormat.MemoryBmp.
The Image class then tries to get the encoder from the ImageFormat specified (using the internal FindEncoder() method), which of course returns null, causing the exception:

System.ArgumentNullException: 'Value cannot be null. Parameter name:
  encoder'

You can test it yourself, trying to get the Encoder/Decoder from the OriginalImage and the ResizedImage objects (using ImageCodecInfo.GetImageDecoders() or ImageCodecInfo.GetImageEncoders()):
Dim originalCodec As ImageCodecInfo = ImageCodecInfo.GetImageDecoders().
    FirstOrDefault(Function(cc) cc.FormatID.Equals(ResizedImage.RawFormat.Guid))

You'll see that when you try to get the Encoder/Decoder for the ResizedImage format, originalCodec will be null (nothing), while it'll return an Encoder/Decoder for the OriginalImage format.
Since the predefined ImageFormat is ImageFormat.Png, you can change your method to set this format when saving the Image to MemoryStream:
Using mStream As New MemoryStream()
    TheImage.Save(mStream, ImageFormat.Png)
    Return mStream.ToArray()
End Using

Something that is also done internally in more than one occasion.
For example: Image.Save(MemoryStream stream)

Walk the Talk Show with Waylon Lewis Presents…
Lyndsey & Jesse Manderson might seem like a little husband and wife team, but we get to share with you, our readers, the practical reasons to live zero waste from some of the world's leading zero waste experts.
Waylon talks with Lyndsey & Jesse Manderson, founders of ZERO (Waste) Market in Denver.
*Note: elephant journal is not, in this case, a sponsor for ZERO Market. In any case, we say what we want—good and bad, happy and sad.
More from ZERO Market:
Elephant is psyched to be working in partnership with Google+ on our new live video series, which features three live videos a week (that can be watched later, too).
Info from ZERO market's site:
ZERO market, opening in early 2015, will offer customers non-toxic, preservative-free groceries, organic and locally grown produce, "cruelty-free" body care and eco-household products all in bulk and without single-use packaging.
All products at ZERO market are healthy alternatives to the products available at conventional grocery chains and are specifically sold to be a "zero-waste" product. The mission: to create a more convenient way of living zero-waste and helping the community prevent and divert as much trash from the landfills as possible. Stop the trash at the source.
ZERO market will also be giving back to the community by participating in community projects and hosting fundraisers for local community services. It offers workshops for healthier and more environmentally friendly lifestyles while keeping a sliding scale to make it affordable for all income families. We just launched a campaign to ask for support from like-minded individuals to help shape the future of shopping.
About the Founders:
Lyndsey Manderson, Vegan for eight years, mother of two, extremely passionate about the earth, creatures from all walks of life and community networks. She has a Bachelor of Science from Portland State University and a Bachelor of Education from the University of British Columbia as well as recent experience in environmental education, running a Community Volunteer Club and initiating a recycling program at the Secondary school she works at. She has not only the passion and determination for a project like ZERO market, but the education to be able to sustain the values of the business. She has also been a mental health worker for the past seven years in the downtown eastside of Vancouver, British Columbia (noted as the poorest postal code in Canada), working with a population dealing with addiction and mental illness and supporting those who need the extra help getting by, day-to-day. Working the front lines of community work has contributed to her commitment and determination to make an impact in sustainable practices and spreading the knowledge so it is accessible to people of all social status.
Jesse Manderson, Registered Holistic Nutritionist, will be the manager and operator of the on-site workshops, seminars and community events held very frequently throughout the year at ZERO. He has several years of Consulting Holistic Nutrition experience as well as years of current practice research, leading seminars and nutritional journalism with YesWellness in Vancouver, British Columbia. Jesse also has more than 13+ years as a mental health worker and has been an important advocate in the community for the underprivileged and malnourished. He has been living a plant-based lifestyle for the past 18 years and has continued to keep up with current health and nutrition practices throughout as well as an incredibly motivating force in a lot of people's lives.

André M. Bajorat, Co-Founder of figo. Active in the banking sector since 1996 – including senior management positions at Star Finanz and giropay.
With figo we aggregate the current finances of individuals and small businesses in a cloud-based account and present them intelligently. This so-called figo account (freemium) can then be used in our own offers, e.g. our elegant iOS app, or 3rd party services such as Billomat.
Competitors are, on the one hand, mobile apps such as Outbank or bank APIs such as Bankimport.
However, our idea goes far beyond what is described above.
They are not over yet, I think. But a major challenge in addition to gathering the financial resources is certainly putting together the right team.
I strongly believe in smart solutions for consumers and there again very mobile-oriented. This may be due to my own history and affinity for the subject. But here I see a lot of potential, as banks have so far made inadequate progress in mobile banking.
I also believe in an idea of the bank as a platform to which the player can easily and quickly dock.
I see a great opportunity if the established players continue to react so slowly. Hubs and communities in which these new players can interact with and learn from each other will certainly help. So far, there have sporadic, insulated startups in this area without much interaction- here I see great potential for better and more inter-connected approaches.
Seek out experts from the industry to understand the background and the pain points. But do not let the possible concerns of the experts stop you from thinking new– rather, find solutions to resolve these pain points.

foie love
Now Mr Durand is about to become a cult figure in the countryside of southwestern France after announcing plans to open a new front in the battle over Gallic gastronomy with what he calls a foie gras museum at his bistrot in Illinois.
The text is larded with distracting verbal tics, including a smattering of needless Gallicisms—such as noting that she had problems with her "foie" aka, liver—local color thickened to impasto.
The Sound of France
The Noah filing even refers to foie gras as gastronomic entertainment in an effort to link this case to the crocodile one.
The Foie Gras Wars
Despite acknowledging the pitfalls of criminalizing what had been a government-supported practice, Strasberg-Cohen concludes that the regulations do not stand up to the test of prohibition of abuse of the lawThe regulations should still reflect the price our society is willing to pay in order to produce the delicacy known as foie gras.
Bourdain, who calls foie gras one of the worlds 10 great flavors, argued that although Trotter might not see himself as an advocate, he nonetheless was a highly influential chef giving comfort and succor to the forces of evilDeep inside, most of us believe that the people who agree with Charlie and PETA will win the day.
He predicted that if the ban passed, restaurants would just call the foie gras something else because city inspectors wouldnt be testing what actually was on customers plates.
As of the 16th century, these fattened livers, yet to be dubbed foie gras, remained more a regional novelty than a staple of fine dining in France.

I am a home Cinema and AV enthusiast as well as a custom installer. This is my review of what I consider to be the best Home Cinema products on the market.
The time came for "upgradeitus" one of the things I had always wanted was a decent in ceiling projector lift for my Epson TW 4400. The main criteria was that I wanted the projector to be hidden when not in use as this is our family lounge.
In the past I have fitted all makes of projector lifts from different companies such as Beamax, Draper, ProAV to name a few, all good products, but, the problem being none would fit into the space in my ceiling. The joists are 200mm or 8" x 2" in old money, no other lifts would fit into the void without building a massive bulkhead which sort of defeated the purpose of what I wanted to achieve. I spent several years searching for the right product to no avail, that was until I came across the "Pure Theatre" website. The large ceiling recessed projector lift at £1,275.00 was not only more than half the price of other products, it would actually fit into a standard ceiling void in a house, not only that, this lift looks stunning and is way ahead of other products in the Home Cinema market. I also ordered the 12v Trigger Module with RS232 and IR output for my screen and lift.
I ordered direct via the phone which was a breeze, Pure Theatre staff was ever so helpful and very knowledgeable about their own products. Payment was made via debit card although you can also order direct from the website which is great to peruse. I ordered late Wednesday afternoon and the lift arrived early Friday morning. I was like a kid at Christmas! I could not wait to un box my new toy.
After checking my measurements and looking under the floor I knew that I would have to make some adjustments to the joists. One joist would be directly in the way of my new Lift. This was no problem as I would trim the joists into the opposite direction. Once the box was opened and after perusing through the instructions, it was time to start fitting my new ceiling recessed projector lift. The lift comes with its own metal template that is used for marking the opening, just offer the template up making sure everything is square , scribe around the inside of it with a pencil and mark the 8mm holes. It is so simple, you then drill through the previously marked holes, I then drilled a further hole on the inside of the pencil line so that i could get my jigsaw blade in ready to cut out the plasterboard. Whilst cutting out the ceiling I knew there would be a joist in the way so off I went upstairs ready to take a few floor boards up. I then had to prop the floor so I could cut out the offending joist that was in the way. This was then trimmed in the opposite direction using joist hangers and some new timber with a few fixings. At the same time I had to move a few electrical feeds that was used in my previous setup for the Epson Projector including a double socket and HDMI leads, etc.
Once everything was prepped it was time to drop the metal template into position and line them up with the previously 8mm drilled holes. Like a dream these lined up perfectly. Next I tested the lift was working before separating the mechanism from the projector housing. I then installed the transformer into the ceiling cavity and connected it to my mains power supply allowing for the 24 volt plug to hang down for easy connection to the lift.
With my step ladders in place I offered the the lift up to its new home and fixed in place using the screws supplied into the template. What surprised me was how sturdy this was when fixed in place. There is further fixing points via the two brackets for later when nearing completion. The lift fitted like a glove! Wow, how happy I felt. After admiring my work for some twenty minutes with a well earned brew it was time for the next stage.
After placing the Epson Projector into the tray it was time to lift up the housing and fit into the lift mechanism using the two fixings on each side. I then completed final fixings and secured all the screws. The lift was now ready to use. I could not get my hands on the supplied remote quick enough pressing down on the remote control. Almost instantly the Pure Theatre Lift purred down into place looking even more stunning than I thought it would. Time to press up, then down, then up, then down, etc.
This lift is without doubt a superb bit of kit, it is easy to fit and looks far better than other lifts I have fitted in the past. The price is easy within the budget of most home cinema enthusiasts considering other lifts cost more than twice the price. It works flawlessly and is quiet and very pleasing to the eye. The other thing that springs to mind is how clever the design is, whoever thought that they never had the room for a lift in the ceiling now do as Pure Theatre have designed their products to fit in most dwellings between standard floor joists – Pure Genius!!
Imagine pressing a button on your remote and the projector automatically switches on while the screen and lift purr down into position showing your favourite channel. All this in a matter of seconds using products supplied by the Rolls Royce of home cinema – Pure theatre.

Brings American Lion back from the brink of pneumonia, then demonstrates their passion in a personal way.
For 6 years, Hagyard Equine Medical Institute and Hagyard Pharmacy have been strong supporters of the New Vocations mission – to stand in the gap for noncompetitive, often injured racehorses, and provide a skilled, loving transition to a brighter future. Typically, that support has come in providing veterinary care, pharmaceuticals and supplements to get the horses back on their feet from varying levels of injury or health.
But for American Lion, a 23-1 odds midfield finisher in the 2010 Kentucky Derby, Hagyard took their support to another level.
American Lion had entered Four Star's consignment for the 2018 Keeneland November Sale when he fell sick.
The staff at the barn was very concerned. How American Lion carried himself and his demeanor made quite an impression on the team at Four Star, so taking care of him became a combined effort from the entire crew. The Hagyard team came together as well, with Dr. Barry David taking primary care in conjunction with Dr. Fallon.
After 5 days, the treatment care and concern began to bring American Lion back around. At that point, the focus happily changed from "would he make it?" to "what's next?" WinStar Farm took him in for recuperation. In the meantime, Lacy contacted New Vocations Thoroughbred Program Director, Anna Ford.
"For such a cool horse, we thought it a perfect scenario," Ford said. "…A way of giving him a chance to flourish at something different." American Lion took to his retraining with the champion's attitude that led him to a post in the Kentucky Derby. Within a few days under tack, he was comfortable with his new routine even after being off the track for nine years. So, New Vocations was comfortable posting him for adoption, applying their vigorous screening process.
That's where the story took another turn.
Hagyard's Dr. David had become enamored with American Lion while caring for him, and decided to adopt him. While reticent to talk about it himself, Dr. David's wife Dr. Joan Gariboldi, said there must have been something special about American Lion that led to the adoption.
"He [Dr. David] treats a lot of horses, but somehow this boy affected him," she said.

New VELA Report Finds Families' Attracted to Nontraditional Education Programs by Distinct, Shared Values
May 9, 2022Stories
Home » Stories » New VELA Report Finds Families' Attracted to Nontraditional Education Programs by Distinct, Shared Values
VELA Education Fund recently released Classrooms Anywhere, a 32-page analysis of survey response data collected from more than 300 students, parents, educators, and community members who are leading nontraditional education programs across the country. The research represents the most comprehensive look available at grassroots educational initiatives that operate beyond the traditional system to meet learners' and families' needs, an area that is experiencing enormous growth.
Among the themes most prevalent among the thousands of responses analyzed:
Nontraditional learning is diverse and dynamic.
Everyday entrepreneurs are motivated to reimagine learning.
Nontraditional models prioritize human flourishing.
Classrooms Anywhere is based on a 2021 survey VELA conducted of recent Micro grant recipients to gain an understanding of their values, their desired impact, and the resources needed to continue providing programs that meet their learners' and families' needs. The report summarizes key findings from 323 survey responses.
Examples of everyday entrepreneurs in VELA's community include Alycia Wright, founder of Cultural Roots Homeschool Co-op. Wright, a mom of four and a former teacher, chose to homeschool her children to help ensure they received a comprehensive educational experience.
"We have been steadfast in this homeschool journey eight years now," said Wright in a recent video released by VELA, Homeschooling from Coast to Coast. "I love that we get to spend so much time together. I think we all want those connections, it's just that we get all caught up in the hustle and bustle of everyday life."
According to Classrooms Anywhere, grantees are intensely focused on empowering and engaging families to make more direct decisions about learners' education. Students' behavior is observed to understand learners' success, and entrepreneurs make modifications accordingly. Just 11 percent of grantees reported using standardized tests.
The report also describes how educators and policymakers can make it easier for more families to choose educational programs that they believe are best for their children. Helping families shoulder the financial burden of nontraditional approaches to education could increase access, and regulations that offer more blended opportunities – for example, for a student to take some classes in a traditional public school and some classes through a homeschool co-op – could promote broader participation.
The initial online survey was designed primarily to capture qualitative data from grantees so that VELA's analysis would be driven by the respondents' own words. Thousands of answers to open-response questions were analyzed, coded for key concepts, and organized into distinct themes.
VELA hopes to follow up on Classrooms Anywhere by exploring research topics that its grantees are interested in, including program design and learners' and families' motivations for choosing nontraditional education programs.
All of the photography featured in Classrooms Anywhere is of VELA grantees.

Jagger Preview: Mick on the Stones' Critics
Filed under: Entertainment • Mick Jagger
The Rolling Stones have an enormous legacy of rock and roll music and after all those years of concerts, albums and assorted media stories they are largely still alive. They have seen many aspiring and celebs come and go, overdose and crash and burn.
They have seen countless musicians step on the Main Street stages and sell out their talent and audience to big money with a heavy and distinct loss to their unique ability's and song writing skills.
The Rolling Stones made it without largely selling out to corporate interests and your fans, thank-you for writing some wonderful songs and for all of the good memory's connected to your tours and albums.
Isn't it time to retire?
Joe G. (Illinois) May 18th, 2010 6:34 pm ET
Vanity is a very personal thing. It's not so much like those others where the beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder.. Not many Rock and Rollers would last that long if it were all up to that.
Kate May 18th, 2010 8:16 pm ET
God there are so many.....from their old stuff to their latest.I just love it all
Rita May 18th, 2010 8:46 pm ET
I am the biggest Rolling Stones fan ever, I know everyone says that though.
Anyway, wondering if there will be another North American tour?
Also what has some of the biggest challenges that Mick personally has faced or even what the Stones have faced throughout their careers?
Thank you, Rita (Vancouver, BC, Canada).

The 'Stones are the only show where women took their tops off when the band came onstage. I've seen Tom Jones and his women fans who went to see him brought a bra to throw up onstage out of their handbags.

Nancy May 18th, 2010 11:05 pm ET
Did I miss some of "Larry King Live" although seated from beginning to end, because I listened but didn't hear Larry King ask Mick Jagger any tough question about Brian Jones, a founder of the Rolling Stones. Anyway, some author guy named Sanchez wrote a book some time ago about the Stones, was pretty plain about Jones' history with the band, raised reasonable questions chapter after chapter. Like about Jones' death in 1969. Crime scene, swimming pool. A building "Frank Thorogood", suspect. And on and on. The book didn't ask questions like: did the Rolling Stones profit at all from that crime mystery! Debatable talent differences, the drug merry-go-round, alleged discipline issues about completing things like songs - Brian Jones had provided as a band member a balance in the group to what Jagger and Richards had lacked - which was what? If Jones hadn't felt alienated by group psychology and by drugs and if he had remained with the Stones to this day alive and well, would Mick Jagger be even more successful today? No need to write advertisement jingles about any breakfast cereal, to be sure.

Yes, there will always be the critics.
The Rolling Stones' longevity is amazing. Will probably have to carry them off the stage, I think.
I hope Keith Richards is not falling out of anymore trees, like the coconut one in Fiji. Hope he has recovered well from that incident.
Keep on keeping on!

UNA-SNY Celebrates the 72nd Anniversary of the United Nations at the SUNY Global Center
by Jeanne Betsock Stillman
UNA-SNY Vice President, Chapter Developtment
The Southern NYS Division, SUNY Global Engagement Program and Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., sponsored a program to celebrate the 72nd anniversary of the United Nations. Held on October 27 at the SUNY Global Center, the program celebrated Global Goals / Local Leaders, and focused on Goals 16, Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions and 17: Strong Institutions for the Goals. About 65 attended from the SUNY GEP, Borough of Manhattan Community College, Adelphi University and SUNY Farmingdale, in addition to representatives of NGOs, Alpha Kappa Alpha Chapters Eta Omega Omega, Zu Theta Omega, and Tau Omega, and UNA-USA members from throughout the Southern NYS Division.
The program was moderated by S. Ilgu Ozler, who directs the SUNY GEP. Prof. Ozler explained how Goal 16 was directly relevant to the United States and the tie-in to the Division's ongoing work on Race, Criminal Justice and Human Rights. Troy Wolfe, UNA-USA Senior Director for Education and Learning spoke about his work and his recent trip to Charlottesville, Va.
Ms. Soffiyah Elijah, Executive Director, Alliance of Families for Justice, spoke on Goal 16 and the work of the Alliance on advocating for prisoners and their families, including in the recent march from Harlem to Albany. Dr. Ruth Hassell-Thompson had been taken ill, and Ms. Elijah expanded her presentation (they otherwise would have had a "conversation" about issues).
Dr. George Garland presented Local Leader awards to Ms. Elijah and to Dr. Hassell-Thompson, with Donna Drayton accepting on behalf of Hassell-Thompson.
Dr. Schwank, Economic Affairs Officer, Financing for Development Office, UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs, and Dr. Aniket Shah, Program Leader - Financing for Sustainable Development Initiative, New York, spoke on the global issues related to financing development worldwide. Dr. Schwank talked about SDG #17 and financing for it in relation to public and private resources. Dr. Shah spoke about private capital and the SDGs, and how the flow mainly goes from rich countries to rich and moderate countries. There is plenty of money worldwide to eliminate poverty, but the decision to do so is not there.

A Rap Video Makes the Case for Voting. Here's How One Teacher Used It
By Sarah Schwartz — February 10, 2020 3 min read
In middle school teacher Beth White's social studies class, separation of powers is often a tricky subject for students to understand.
White, who teaches at Jennings Junior High College Prep and Career Academy in St. Louis, Mo., explains the difference between the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of government. And she usually plays the classic Schoolhouse Rock song, "I'm Just a Bill," an animated video that follows a bill as it makes its way through the legislative process to become a law.
But it can be hard for her students to understand that the president isn't the only politician who has power—or that it's members of Congress who introduce legislation, not the president.
"A lot of our students in class just want to talk about Trump, and not focus on the whole government," White said.
So this year, she tried something a little different.
White still played "I'm Just a Bill," but she also showed her students "My Vote Dont Count," a music video released earlier this year by the rapper YelloPain. The second video finally made these ideas "click" for her middle schoolers, she said.
The video starts with YelloPain, who's from Dayton, Ohio, rapping about being disillusioned by the political process. Even when politicians he supports are elected to office, he doesn't see any of his day-to-day struggles get easier:
Voted for Obama back in 2012
I remember that's when I had hope
He was saying, "Yes, we can!"
And everybody got less food stamps
And when I turned 21 I was still broke
God, I'll never vote again
I don't think I ever had a president made my life better
Did it all on my own, ain't no politician ever do a nice gesture
I don't even know the mayor name
I ain't ever seen her one time ever
Tell me how she gonna help the city
What I'm supposed to do, write letters?
But then the song changes direction: YelloPain raps about the three branches of government, explaining how congresspeople, state representatives, and elected judges have power to make decisions that actually affect people's everyday lives. Voting for these positions matters, he says.
The video really resonated with her students, White said.
All of her students are black and many are from low-income families. Some made connections from the video to their own lives—students pointed out problems in their own communities that never got fixed, like potholes in the roads. They felt that their neighborhoods were low priority for people in office, White said.
"They kind of started saying, 'Maybe we should vote for the legislative branch and the house,'" White said. "This was big for me. Me saying it over and over again didn't illustrate it enough for them."
YelloPain has shown support for Democratic candidates on social media, and boosts a few policy proposals in his rap—like raising the minimum wage and providing housing for the homeless. Desiree Tims, who's running for Congress as a Democrat in Ohio's 10th district, appears at the end of the music video with few lines about the importance of voting.
Several commenters called the video partisan when White posted it in a group for social studies teachers on Facebook, saying that they wouldn't show it in class because it pushed one point of view. But White thought that the clear message about political participation provided too good of a teaching opportunity to pass up.
"The takeaway I took from it is it's important to vote in every election," she said. "I think that's more important than any partisan message."
Nationally, voting rates for teenagers are on an upward trend.
In the 2018 midterm elections, 23 percent of eligible 18- and 19-year-olds voted, according to an analysis by the Center for Information & Research on Civic Learning and Engagement that my colleague Stephen Sawchuk covered last year. In past years, most states only saw youth turnout rates in the low teens.
Lots of factors can influence where young people vote in the largest numbers, the CIRCLE researchers found. Competitive races can boost turnout, as can voter pre-registration and online registration.

MIAMI BEACH, Fla. – Conventional wisdom has it that many restaurants never make it to their first birthday, never mind their 100th.
So it's a little shocking just how many have done not only that, but have thrived well beyond 100 years. Fascination with what sets these culinary centenarians apart is what prompted Rick Browne to dig into American restaurant history, collecting the stories of some of the nation's oldest eateries.
"These places are American culinary history," says Browne, who made it a mission to identify restaurants — including taverns, grills, barbecue joints — that are at least 100 years old.
And his recent book, "A Century of Restaurants: Stories and Recipes from 100 of America's Most Historic and Successful Restaurants," includes the nation's oldest (White Horse Tavern in Newport, R.I., established in 1673), the youngest (the Pleasant Point Inn in Lovell, Maine, opened in 1911), and many in between.
"These old restaurants are serving really good meals, made from scratch, plus they're preserving our culture," he says. "And we can't lose that."
Tallying restaurant centenarians is a tricky business. Browne counted any business that serves food — such as taverns — and came up with more than 250. In 2010, the National Restaurant Association and the Nation's Restaurant News focused on eating establishments (rather than bars and taverns that serve food) and came up with 140.
Further complicating Browne's search, several of the restaurants he found have changed their names over the years. Some have even changed locations after fires, earthquakes or hurricanes damaged the original structures. But that's just part of the history that makes these businesses so fascinating.
Whatever the exact count, the numbers are surprising in part because the restaurant industry has a notoriously short survival rate. More than a quarter of new restaurants close within the first year, and that jumps to nearly two-thirds by the end of three years, according to research by the Cornell Hotel and Restaurant Administration.
And most of that is due to typical industry pressures. Centenarian restaurants have buffeted not only that, but also The Great Depression and multiple recessions and wars.
"These older establishments have track record and history and heritage," said Grant Ross, general manager at The Black Bass Hotel in Lumberville, Penn. "This building has been here for 270 years and people have been coming here to dine, stay and to drink for 270 years. And just because there is a recession that is not a reason to stop."
Why do so many succeed? One often-repeated theme is family.
A majority of the centenarian restaurants have been in one family for decades. Like Joe's Stone Crab in Miami Beach, which was not featured in Browne's book but has been family-owned from the start when it opened as a mom-and-pop fish house. Today, it's a must-stop spot where wearing a bib over fine-dining attire is the norm.
"Has the fact that it's family-owned been a benefit to them? Yes, because people are nostalgic," says Bonnie Riggs, a restaurant analyst with consumer research firm NPD Group. "Why do they succeed when the industry right now is not doing well? Because this place is unique. We know it's pricey, but we are willing to pay for it because we know they will deliver on what we expect. And it's an experience."
Joe Weis opened a small lunch counter on Miami Beach in 1913 and years later — under a different name and in a different building after a hurricane damaged the original location— introduced the tasty crustaceans to his menu. At 75 cents a plate, they were a huge hit and have been ever since. On a busy night, Joe's serves up nearly 1,000 pounds of stone crabs to some 1,700 customers willing to pay market price for a plate.
Joe's is a fourth-generation family-owned restaurant that treats its customers like family. And vice versa.
"Our customers will tell us when things aren't right and when things are right," said Stephan Sawitz, the restaurant's chief operations officer and the great-grandson of Weis.
Browne traveled nearly 50,000 miles over a year and a half to compile his list, eating 163 entrees along the way. A few of the 250 restaurants he found have since closed down, he admits.
"If we lose them, we would have lost a lot. All you're going to see is fast food places, yellow arches and red roofs."
His advice for the next 100 restaurants over 100? Don't radically change the menu.
"In a lot of cases, people order a dish that they had one time or another," Browne said, adding that diners return to spots they went to as a child. "It's comfort food that comes with memories.
