Why Downtown Buffalo is a Great Place to Live
Buffalo isn't usually the city people think of when they consider moving to New York. There are a few misconceptions about its offerings that make some people balk at living there. However, downtown Buffalo has a lot going for it.
So what can you expect when living in Buffalo? How about amazing hiking trails with views you'll want to Instagram or performances by the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra at the gorgeous Kleinhans Music Hall. There's so much to do and see in the Queen City, and you can discover something new no matter how long you call it home. So, without further ado, here are our ten reasons Buffalo is an ideal place to live.
1. There's So Much Potential
Buffalo's community is dedicated to improving their city through initiatives like GO Bike Buffalo, Clean Air Coalition, and Buffalo First. These initiatives focus on promoting diversity, sustainability, and a better environment for everyone to enjoy. In addition, the city has committed to investing up to $1 billion to restore green space surrounding the Kensington Expressway, further enhancing the quality of life for residents.
The community is actively involved in the progress of the city and proud of its home, creating a wonderful atmosphere that makes Buffalo appealing. It's not often that you find a community with such momentum and a shared love for their home, making Buffalo a truly special place to live.
2. The Parks are Designed by the Team Who Created Central Park
You read that right — the many public green spaces that flourish in Buffalo were designed by the legendary Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux. These gentlemen were famous for their work as landscape architects, with the former even being invited to design the grounds for the first World's Fair hosted by the U.S.
What does that mean for residents? It means access to beautiful scenery and carefully thought out pathways to ensure you get the most out of your park visit. Whether you enjoy going for jogs, taking your dog for a walk, or just sitting on a bench and watching the world go by, you'll love the public park system.
3. You Can Experience All Four Seasons
Looking for a city that has it all? With a diverse range of activities throughout the year, you'll never be bored. Enjoy all the classic outdoor activities in the fall, like pumpkin patching, apple picking, and tailgating at home games. When the temperature drops, Buffalo transforms into a winter wonderland with plenty of opportunities for skiing, ice skating, sledding, snowshoeing, and ice fishing.
As the weather warms up in the spring, explore Buffalo's beautiful natural landscapes and kick off the new year at the Buffalo Riverworks event. And in the summer, the city becomes a hub for festivals celebrating arts, music, cuisine, and culture, including the Niagara Holiday Light Show.
4. It's an Architecture Enthusiast's Dream
As recognized by The New York Times, Buffalo, NY, is home to iconic American architecture from the late 19th to early 20th centuries. Art deco buildings like City Hall, the Guaranty Building, and the 1822 Lighthouse are just a few of the architectural gems you'll find in this city.
Buffalo, NY, also has plenty of options for commercial mix-use properties or living spaces, complete with amenities and modern utilities. If you're an architecture enthusiast looking for a new home or business location, contact our team today for more information!
5. It's Perfect for Bike Commuting
Are you trying to go green by biking to work? Then Buffalo is for you. GO Bike Buffalo has worked to educated commuters, students, and parents on the benefits of bike riding, as well as how to do so safely.
The Queen City also has a vibrant community of people who love biking as a pastime or means of exercise. For example, hundreds of people participate in the Sunday Night Ride as a way to share their love of biking while traversing the city together.
6. There's a Vibrant Sports Community
Many places are proud of their sports teams, but Buffalo takes it to the next level; its lacrosse team, the Bandits, has some the highest turnout numbers of the National Lacrosse League. There's also a lot of love for the hockey team, the Sabres, who have a waiting list for season tickets.
Of course, in the U.S., the biggest sport is football. Buffalo Bills fans are known for their enthusiasm and love for tailgating.
7. It's Incredibly Diverse
As the second-most populous city of New York, Buffalo hosts many ethnic groups, including people of German descent, Irish, Italian, Polish, Macedonian, and Indian, to mention a few. Consequently, influences from these cultures are evident in the following festivals in Buffalo:
Buffalo International Film Festival, held every October
The Wine and Chocolate Festival, organized every January
The Buffalo Cherry Blossom Festival, celebrated in May and presents various Japanese traditions
The Buffalo Irish Festival, showcases Irish traditions, performances, and culture every September
8. It's the Perfect Size
Small towns are great for the sense of community, but they aren't known for offering much in the way of entertainment. Large cities are bastions of culture but can feel impersonal and easy to get lost in. Buffalo falls in the middle, offering the best of both worlds.
With its medium size, Buffalo offers many city-type experiences, such as art galleries, without the downsides, such as heavy traffic. In fact, the Queen City is easy to navigate and is just large enough to keep you exploring for a few years.
9. The Food is Incredible
In case you're looking for things to do in Downtown Buffalo in July, you can be part of the biggest food festival in the U.S., the Taste of Buffalo. Restaurants and food trucks line the streets to provide a music-filled weekend and serve popular foods like Buffalo wings and ribs.
Whether you're staying at a historic building, condominium, townhome, or luxury apartment, you can dine at any of the following Downtown Buffalo restaurants:
Schwabl for their famous roast beef sandwich
The Black Sheep for a farm-to-table experience
Duff's Famous Wings for the best wing sauces
Toutant restaurant for traditional Southern dishes
The Dapper Goose for cocktails and juicy hamburgers
10. You Can Always Get a Good Drink
From local corner pubs, high-end cocktail bars, cozy coffee spots, and several late-night clubs – Downtown Buffalo has a slew of watering holes to quench your thirst. The region also has a vast collection of local breweries and brewpubs, such as the:
Big Ditch Brewing Company, known for its massive range of craft beers.
Community Beer Works, where visitors can sample their Whale Brown Ale.
Thin Man Brewery, popularized by its distinctive brews like the Trial by Wombat beer.
Buffalo Brewing Company, which produces an impressive line of brews like the Czech Pilsner and Irish Red Ale .
11. Hotels for Your Friends and Family Coming to Visit
Buffalo is a visitor-friendly city known for its welcoming sense of community, hence the nickname "The City of Good Neighbors." As such, Downtown Buffalo can comfortably accommodate its visitors; thanks to dozens of luxury boutiques and extended-stay hotels where friends and family can stay, such as:
The Giacomo Hotel
Fairfield Inn and Suites
Aloft Hotel Downtown Buffalo
Wingate by Wyndham Ellicottville
Staybridge Suites Buffalo/ Amherst

Alaskan Oysters
The island is known as Prince of Wales, but it may as well be called King of Oysters.
By Jeremy Shackleton
Baby seal pups are cute and baby bear cubs are adorable, but what about baby oysters?
Discover — or, more appropriately, taste — for yourself! The oyster nursery in Naukati Bay, also known as the Oyster Capital of Alaska, on Prince of Wales Island is open for tours. Prince of Wales Island is the third-largest island in the United States and located just three hours by ferry from Ketchikan.
The oysters coming out of this region are famous for their taste and texture. Since the waters are a bit colder and full of nutrients, oysterfarming conditions are fantastic. Oysters produced in this area have the firmer consistency oyster connoisseurs love. Consumer-demand exceeds supply on an annual basis.
Baby oysters are technically called spat. The process used to raise spat on Prince of Wales Island is known in the oyster industry as flupsy (an acronym for floating upweller system), which involves moving ocean water across oysters contained in submersed trays. Ocean water is comprised of microscopic food suitable for the baby oysters, and the waters around the island are exceptionally nutrient-rich and contribute to very robust oyster growth rates. ….

The Hidden Empire
Written on April 29, 2015 by Fernando Dameto Zaforteza in Arts & Cultures & Societies
By Fernando Dameto Zaforteza, Deputy Director of Humanities at IE Business School
When one thinks of Ethiopia the first thing that usually pops up to one's mind is the terrible famine the country suffered in the mid eighties, which motivated Geldof's live aid concerts, or the more recent civil war with Eritrea, which ended in 2000 with the independence of the northern seacoast region. If one is a bit older – or better informed- he might mention the flamboyant African king that ruled the country for 60 years during the 20th century and who left behind numerous followers organized under a new religion, Ras Tafari Makonnen, AKA Haile Selassie I. A peculiar character, loved by most current Ethiopians, who was brilliantly portrayed by Ryszard Kapuscinski's in The Emperor: Downfall of an Autocrat (Vintage,1989).
Only few will include in their description of this East African Nation the fact that it was one of the first countries to adopt Christianity and that it is mentioned several times in the Bible, or that it has one of the oldest alphabets and numeral systems (the only country I have been to that does not use Arabic numbers); or even its history rich in legends: since way back when the country was a monarchy, almost all kings were believed to be descendants of Melenik I, son of Solomon, King of Israel, sand the Queen of Sheba. Finally, it has one of the most interesting, rich, vast and unknown cultural patrimonies in the world.
The historical Her itage of Ethiopia is breathtaking: the series of inaccessible Tigray cave churches, like those in Meteora, to complicate an invasion prospect; the Gonder's Castles Complex, like in Angkor, where every king constructed his palace close to the one of his predecessor, creating a succession of buildings that offers the visitor a taste of each king, (one keen on parties built a huge dining room; another, more ascetic, raised a humbler building). The most impressive, however, is Lalibela.
Lalibela's string of churches and palaces, carved in rock, were constructed over a brief period of time: legend goes that when the workers went to bed, angels from heaven kept on doing their work during the night. King Lalibela, who sponsored its construction, shocked by the fall of Jerusalem in Saladin's hands at the end of the Third Crusade, decided to build a new Jerusalem in Africa. This is why all the names of the complex are taken from the Near East, the river crossing by is called Jordan, the warehouse Betleem, etc. It bears some resemblance with the Nabatean city of Petra, both were carved on pink coloured rock and both are so big it requires a whole day to visit them. There is a major difference, though: the Ethiopian site is still in use.
We walked into Lalibela on Palm Sunday. Three priests were celebrating Sunday mass at the entrance while attendees, dressed in white, listened, prayed or got injera bread from hawkers. After avoiding stepping on parishioners, hard task as the place was overcrowded, one goes down and enters into a world of wonder. It was amazing to see the huge, beautiful site with people walking in and out, with priests taking care of the relics, believers prostrating while praying, others reading holy writings, some just occupied in their thoughts. There one feels like being back in the Middle Ages, in one of those Early Eastern Christian churches, marvellously, described by William Dalrymple in From the Holy Mountain: A Journey In The Shadow of Byzantium (Flamingo, 1997).
Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church, although not included in Dalrymple's books, can be considered as an extension of the Coptic Church, was depended on Alexandria's Patriarchate until 1959. It has several similarities with other Eastern Churches, such as the use of an ancient liturgical language, Ge'ez, that barely no one speaks outside the priesthood, like Copts with Pharaonic or Syrians with Aramaic. They do prostrations, like Syrians, a fact that most will relate to Islam, but in fact a practice that was quite extended amongst Eastern Christians. They are Monophysites, like Copts and Armenians. They also share certain practices with Islam and Judaism, such as a forbiddance to eat pork, or the possibility of following services from a couple of miles away thanks to powerful loudspeakers.
What makes the Ethiopian Church so special is that they have been isolated from the rest of Christianity since Islam became the predominant faith in the Middle East and Northern Africa, despite some occasional contact with the West: epic is the story of the Jesuits Missions in the late 16th and early 17th centuries, well explained in Javier Reverte's Dios, el diablo y la aventura (Plaza & Janés, 2001). The fact of being isolated led them to a complete different narrative from the Latin or Greek traditions. They believe Wise Man Balthasar was from Ethiopia or that the Holy Family in their flight to Egypt stopped in the Ethiopian Highlands. The iconography is also different. Virgin Mary is portrayed doing miracles, while their representation of Saint George is quite distant from the common European one. In the West, Saint George is painted/sculptured as a medieval armoured knight while in Ethiopia dresses with rich-coloured African gowns and is barefooted.
Ethiopia is a country that combines past and present, you can see caravans of camels transporting salt from the mines of the Desert of Danakil to the city of Mek'ele, while the capital Addis Abeba is a sort Africa's Brussels or Washington, hosting numerous transnational organizations such as the African Union and United Nations Economic Commission for Africa. Unfortunately, it is a country that, despite having so much to offer, hardly anyone, besides its proud nationals, seems to be aware of the rich cultural and historic patrimony hidden inside its mountains. Probably, the most accurate code name for Ethiopia was the one coined by National Geographic, The Hiden Empire.

U.S. Treasury Investigating $700,000 Loss to Phishing Scam
Home » Email Spam News » U.S. Treasury Investigating $700,000 Loss to Phishing Scam
Posted By NetSec Editor on Oct 30, 2018 |
In July 2018, the Washington D.C. government fell for an email scam that resulted in wire transfers totaling nearly $700,000 being sent to a scammer's account.
The scammer impersonated a vendor used by the city and requested outstanding invoices for construction work be paid. The vendor had been contracted to work on a design and build project on a permanent supportive housing facility.
The emails requested the payment method be changed from check to bank transfer, and details of a Bank of America account was provided where the payments needed to be directed. Three separate payments were made totaling $690,912.75.
The account details supplied were for an account controlled by the scammer. By the time the scam was uncovered, the money had already been withdrawn from the account and could not be recovered. According to a Washington Post investigation, the scammer had impersonated the firm Winmar Construction.
The emails were sent from a domain that had been registered by the scammer that mimicked that of the construction firm. The domain was identical apart from two letters which had been transposed. The scammer then created an email address using that domain which was used to request payment of the invoices.
According to the Washington Post, prior to this scam the D.C. government was targeted with multiple phishing emails, although Mike Rupert, a spokesperson for the city's chief technology officer, said those phishing attacks were not successful and were not related to the wire transfer scam.
These scams are commonplace. They often involve an email account compromise which allows the scammers to identify vendors and obtain details of outstanding payments. David Umansky, a spokesman for the city's chief financial officer told the Washington Post that the attacker had gained the information necessary to pull off the scam from the vendor's system and that D.C. officials failed to identify the fraudulent domain and email.
After discovering the fraudulent wire transfers, the D.C. government contacted law enforcement and steps have been taken to track the scammers. Additional security controls have now been implemented to prevent similar scams from succeeding in the future, including the requirement for additional verification to take place to confirm the authenticity of any request to change bank information or payment methods.
The U.S Treasury Department has now launched an investigation into the breach, as bank fraud is a federal offense. That investigation is ongoing.


One more reason to visit the Disney theme park when it finally opens this May.
You can rest assured that even in a galaxy far, far away, they'll still be serving Coke. But not in the bottles and cans that you're used to.
Star Wars fans got the news today that when Disney's Galaxy's Edge theme park opens this summer at Disneyland in Anaheim, California, they'll be treated to refreshments by way of some pretty cool and very collectable themed bottles.
The circular bottle, which looks more akin to a thermal detonator than your typical can of soda, will fit right in at the Black Spire Outpost on planet Batuu, where Disney's 14 acres of galactic real estate are set. The scuffed, rusted-looking labels feature Aurebesh, the written language found throughout the Star Wars universe.
The bottles will be exclusively available at the park's opening on May 31, and will be the preferred serving method for all Coca-Cola, Diet Coke, Sprite, and Dasani water. On the East Coast, they will be available starting August 29, when Disney World opens its own version of the Star Wars park in Orlando, Florida.
Galaxy's Edge is shaping up to be a must-visit for loyalists of the three-decades-old franchise. While it won't be cheap—daily tickets start at $104—it will easily be the most immersive experience ever offered to Star Wars fans.
And hey, if sugar-filled caffeinated sodas aren't your thing, there will also be plenty of blue milk to chug.

Kristi Griffiths is a Post Doctoral Research Fellow at the Brain Dynamics Centre within the Westmead Institute for Medical Research. She completed her Bachelor of Science (Psychology Hons) and doctoral degree at the University of Sydney in February 2015. This work involved investigating the brain circuits underlying goal-directed behaviours and how they are affected in youth with psychiatric illnesses. Since beginning at the BDC in 2014, Kristi has begun to focus her research specifically on children and adolescents with ADHD and in her role as a post-doctoral research fellow, she coordinates the ADHD research team. Kristi is a recipient of the Westmead Medical Reseach Foundation Tenix Fellowship.
Kristi is interested in identifying cognitive or neurobiological markers that will help us to understand the different subtypes and causes of ADHD, and to identify markers that can help to predict the likelihood of response to different treatments. Her research uses a combination of cognitive testing, EEG and various brain imaging modalities (structural and functional imaging, diffusion tensor imaging, connectomics). With this integrative approach, she hopes to bridge the gap between science and clinical practice, and to make a difference in the lives of children with ADHD and their families.


In Thailand it's fish sauce. In Japan it's miso and soy sauce. In Italy it's Parmigiano-Reggiano. In Spain it's cured meats. In Australia it's vegemite. In the U.S. it's ketchup (and Doritos, as in the Doritos Locos Taco, which was one of the most successful fast food introductions in history). In Korea it's kimchi.
It's umami. And lately chefs can't seem to get enough of it.
Often called "the fifth taste," umami isn't easy to describe. Even the Umami Information Center — a non-profit dedicated to promoting umami – says "most people don't recognize umami when they encounter it." The Japanese word roughly translates to a "pleasant savory taste." It's a filling, savory, "meaty" sensation one tastes in foods rich in glutamate.
Umami isn't new, either; the flavor itself naturally occurs in foods like meat and mushrooms. Even the concept of umami is over a century old, identified by a Tokyo professor named Kikunae Ikeda in 1908. And chefs have been amping up dishes with rich ingredients like sun-dried tomatoes and balsamic vinegar — even chicken stock — for years.
But the idea of a "fifth taste" wasn't widely accepted until 2000, when scientists finally identified glutamate receptors on the tongue. Since then the focus on umami has reached a fever pitch, with chefs looking to ingredients from Asia, like furikake, togarishi, and fish sauce to amp up their dishes. At New York's Megu, an umami sushi menu is designed to build the umami flavor through a nine-course tasting dinner, while Houston's Kata Robata regularly hosts collaborative umami-focused dinners. Now, instead of simply building flavors through umami behind-the-scenes, chefs are marketing umami directly to customers.
And while the concept of umami has often been associated with Asian ingredients, innovative operators are taking those ingredients in new directions; on today's menus you'll find bonito flakes on spaghetti and asparagus with a side of MSG-rich Kewpie mayonnaise. At Solo Farm & Table, in Vermont, the pickles and bread are served with bonito butter, while Chicago's Allium has a miso butterscotch milkshake on the dessert menu. Meanwhile, Italian operators have been looking to their own cuisine for umami inspiration, adding bottarga (cured fish roe) and colatura (an anchovy-derived fish sauce) to dishes, while fine dining restaurants are fermenting their own kimchis, curing their own meats, and barrel-aging their own sauces. Chef David Chang's Momofuku Culinary Lab is busy creating umami-rich foods inspired by Japan but using ingredients from New York, like a miso-like sunflower seed "hozon" and soy sauce-inspired farro "bonji." "They taste like New York," he told an audience at Harvard.
You can even find it on supermarket shelves. London restaurateur and author Laura Santini's Taste No. 5 Umami Paste is now widely available at retail, which packs parmesan, tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, anchovies, black olives, porcini, and balsamic vinegar into each tube. For many, umami-rich ingredients are an easy way to add flavor without adding sodium and calories. British Airways worked with chef Heston Blumenthal to create umami-laden dishes that would still taste flavorful at high altitudes (passengers lose about 30% of their tasting ability in the air, according to the airline).
And some operators put it right in the name — Umami Sushi in Chicago, Umami Ramen & Dumpling Bar in Wisconsin, Umami Global Bistro in Maryland. And, of course, there is Umami Burger in New York, where people wait three hours for a taste.
Umami Burger founder Adam Fleischman created his namesake dish by mixing every umami-heavy ingredient he could find in a blender, eventually creating the Umami Sauce and Umami Dust featured in each Umami Burger (both bottled for purchase now), which is topped with shiitake mushrooms, slow-cooked tomatoes and a parmesan cheese crisp. This month Fleishman is set to open ChocoChicken, a "whole new style of fried chicken" that has the same umami-rich "crack factor" he looks for in a brand, he told Today.
It's an opportunity that other operators and producers may start to embrace. According to Datassential's recent TIPS report, a quarterly report that tracks trends along the Menu Adoption Cycle, only 6% of restaurant operators we surveyed were currently harnessing umami on their menu, though 44% of consumers are likely to try umami-rich foods at a restaurant (and over half of millennials).

It has been a few days since I have last posted mainly because we have been having such a good time I didn't want to spend the time writing a blog post and this post is going to be uploaded later because we are currently in Grandma Cuder's house in Lepena (a town we and my map app didn't know existed), but I'll get to that later. This is a pretty long post.
Chris and I left Logarska Dolina on Wednesday and after a lengthy conversation with our waitress (she was really hitting on Chris) started on the two mountain pass route through Austria to Bled. The waitress who went to school in a town we would be passing through said we should do the low route and that is how she drove between the two places, partly because she was afraid of her car breaking down in Austria because her German isn't very good (hindsight the car breaking down is a valid fear, but I'm sure her German was great). We hopped over a couple mile 8% climb into Austria and amazing views including your alpine field of dandelions from The Sound of Music. After a quick decent where the car that past us smelled like they burnt out their brake rotors we started up the Austrian pass. The Austrian pass had great German engineering with all the switchbacks banked and was really popular with motorcycles. We then had the two big climbs behind us and continued 40 more miles to lake bled with a few short punchy climbs (18%, ect) for a total of 4:40 peddling.
Bled is Slovenia's main international tourist area. It is comprised of a castle on a hilltop over looking a late with an island (Slovenia's only island/not fact checked) with a church on it. It is basically "the image" of Slovenia. It is also a super touristy town where our hostel was 25€ compared to 28€ for the tourist farm including 2 meals outside Slovenj Gradec. We bought a couple bottles of wine and put them in the hostels freezer to get cold and headed to the castle (I love castles). It was a rather steep entry fee of 9€, but we still went in and grabbed a glass of wine at the restaurant (stiff pours). We then went and "socialized" at the hostel and went to bed.
We had a lazy morning the next morning and rode to Lake Bohinj, the next lake up the valley. We decided to ride the opposite way we planned to get the climb out of the way in the morning. Chris and I have Garmin bike computers that don't have maps, but you can upload a special file that has your route and it will let you know if you are on it or not. Mine is named Bertha and I have not turned the sound off on it (Chris wisely has) and its nickname is bitchy Bertha, because it yells at me when I do something wrong (frequently). Chris powered up the ~5 mile, 7%+ climb and I finally got my legs halfway up after not feeling strong to start (Chris best me by 3+ minutes, he did draft a tractor…).
I got some air in my tires here!
We stopped for a coffee/hot chocolate/pastry at a chocolate shop and then arrived at the lake. This lake was larger and had the mountains coming down to it. We then head on the gravel path around the side of the lake without a road and picked a place to swim and discovered the lake was unofficially clothing not optional outside the main swim areas. After a swim and short nap we continued on Chris's route which then turned into a technical mountain bike trail (oops). We hit the road, grabbed lunch and quickly rode back to town.
We cleaned up and went back to the castle where we had made reservations for dinner the night before (no castle entry fee with reservations). We got a table at the castle wall on the cliff overlooking the lake and there was a small wedding with live classical music going on. This dinner is a departure from my normal traveling budget/mindset, but it was really good (3 courses and 2 glasses of wine each was $90 total).
We then went back to the hostel which wasn't the best lodging choice I have booked, mainly because it was super hot all night (be Garmin said 84F). We did meet someone win a CU tshirt (Denver native) and someone that went to nursing school at CU Denver there. We had a 4 bed dorm which we shared with 4 girls going to med school in the UK. I also was forced to take my first and so far only cold shower in Slovenia there.
I will ill finish the rest as the next post, have to upload more photos and super slow internet .

Seems BJP doesn't consider Netaji a national leader: Mamata Banerjee
Amid the ongoing tussle and war of words between the Centre and West Bengal Government, chief minister Mamata Banerjee on Wednesday hit out at the Modi-led faction for not declaring Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose's birth anniversary as a nationwide holiday. She said it seems BJP does not consider Netaji as a national leader. The West Bengal CM's comment comes on a day Prime Minister Narendra Modiinaugurated the Subhash Chandra Bose museum at the iconic Red Fort to mark the nationalist leader's birth anniversary. "It seems they do not consider him (Netaji) to be a national leader," she said at a programme held in Darjeeling to celebrate the 122nd birth anniversary of Bose, reports PTI. Highlighting the role played Netaji in India's freedom struggle, Banerjee said he had taken with him people from all communities and races for the fight for Independence, from the Darjeeling hills to those in other parts of the country for forming the Indian National Army (INA). "Netaji had talked of togetherness and unity of all people of the country," she said, adding a person who takes people from all sections along is a "true leader". She said this is also the reason why Mahatma Gandhi, Maulana Abul Kalam Azad and Babasaheb Ambedkar were great national leaders

Saw this awesome old chair by the road for sale. Picked it up for $20.
The yellow powder is what's left of the old padding.
Took the old stain off and had to release all joints and add some screws.
So I added bracing front and back and glued the daylights out of it. The other foot was fine, but I put the same wood on the front of it to match.

Palestinian Breach Means Oslo Accords No Longer Valid, Israeli Think-Tank Declares
Palestinian actions mean Israel is no longer bound by the Oslo Accords, according to the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs. Photo: Wikimedia
A leading Israeli think-tank has concluded that "Israel has the legitimate right to declare that the Oslo Accords are no longer valid and to act unilaterally in order to protect its essential legal and security interests."
Signed in September 1993 between the late Israeli Prime Minister, Yitzhak Rabin, and the late PLO leader, Yasser Arafat, the Oslo Accords – which earned both men a Nobel Peace Prize – committed Israel and the Palestinians to a land for peace deal and an end to terrorist attacks. The Accords stipulated that a final agreement would be negotiated after an interim five-year period; by 1998, however, the Palestinians were shifting away from negotiations, and by 2000, had wrecked the peace process by launching a second intifada.
More than a decade later, the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs has published "Ten Points Regarding the Fundamental Breach by the Palestinians of the Oslo Accords," by Ambassador Alan Baker, a former deputy director-general of Israel's Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Baker described the accords as a "contractual framework of obligations between Israel and the Palestinians, signed as witnesses and guarantors by the King of Jordan, the Presidents of the U.S. and Egypt, the Foreign Ministers of the Russian Federation and Norway, the EU and endorsed by the UN." But now that the Palestinian Authority is aggressively pursuing a unilateralist strategy, Baker said, by "petitioning the UN, the International Criminal Court and international organizations to recognize them and accept them as a full member state, and by their unification with the Hamas terror organization, the Palestinians have knowingly and deliberately bypassed their contractual obligations pursuant to the Oslo Accords in an attempt to prejudge the main negotiating issues outside the negotiation."
Baker argued that, as the "injured party," Israel "is freed from any further obligations pursuant to the agreement or contract."
Wrote Baker: "The fundamental breach of the Oslo Accords by the Palestinians is indicative of their conscious decision to undermine them and prevent any possibility of their implementation. As such they have rendered the Accords void…Israel has the legitimate right to declare that the Oslo Accords are no longer valid."

Q: Hide  using CSS I am using primefaces' DataTable, in which specific columns should not be displayed. I know there is the rendered attribute but this simply doesn't load the column in the DOM. I need the column to be loaded on the page, but hidden from the user's view.
I also tried using styling associated with the column's id :
<style>
    #hidden {
      visibility: hidden;
    }
</style>

<p:dataTable>
   <p:column id="hidden">
     ...
   </p:column>
</p:dataTable>

Though it works with mere html tags, it doesn't here with PrimeFaces' column.
How can I do that I cannot see more solutions.

EDIT 1
I put the style attribute in the column tag:
<p:column  headerText="COLUMN" rendered="true" style="visibility: hidden;">

All the column's content has been removed, but the black line from rows and columns is still displayed. So there is a useless white column between the others. Almost there...

A: You can set the padding and width to zero, but thick border-line can be seen between hidden column.
<p:column style="padding:0;width:0px;">
...
</p:column>

A: Always use "styleClass" attribute to apply style in jsf.
<p:column  headerText="COLUMN" rendered="true" styleClass="hidden">

apply style as below :

Q: Definition of a formula in propositional logic The set of formulae in propositional logic is characterised by ( at least in Derek Goldreis's book)

*

*Every propositional variable is a formula

*If $a$ is a formula then so is $\neg a$

*If $a,b$ are formulae then so are $(a \star b)$ for any connective $\star$

*Nothing else is a formula and every formula is obtained by a finite number of applications of 1)-3).

From this, does it immediately follow that for any formula $a$ exactly one of the following holds
1') $a$ is some propositional variable
2') $a$ is $\neg b$ for some formula $b$
3') $a$ is $(b \star c)$ for some formulae $b,c$?
I know this is true ( infact the stronger Unique readability theorem holds) but it isn't clear to me how this immediately follows from the definition of a formula I gave above.
I suspect it is clause 4) that makes this work. So perhaps my question really is what exactly does clause 4) mean...
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

A: Yes, it does follow immediately, and yes, it is the fourth clause that makes this work.
The fourth clause says that every formula is the result of applying the first three clauses a finite number of times. In particular, any formula $a$ is the result of applying one of the first three clauses to existing formulae. If $a$ results from (1), $a$ must be a propositional variable. If it results from (2), it must be $\neg b$ for some formula $b$ that has already been derived. And if it results from (3), it must be $(b*c)$ for some connective $*$ and formulae $b$ and $c$ that have already been derived.
This is a fairly straightforward recursive definition of the set of formulae. The first clause is the base clause: it defines the propositional variables as formulae and so gives us some input for the construction clauses (2) and (3) that define how more complex formulae are to be built from simpler ones. And the fourth clause, which is often omitted but should always be understood, prevents us from throwing random junk into the collection of formulae: every formula must be a propositional variable or derivable from propositional variables by applications of (2) and (3).

A: I'd interpret "nothing else is a formula" as meaning what you concluded: that every formula is of one of the three given forms. I don't think the "exactly one" part technically follows, but it's implied. We can think of the set of formulas as an inductive type whose elements are syntax trees.

A: This relates to a lot of interesting general concepts. Brian Scott outlines the simple answer. I will go a bit deeper into the theory of inductively defining a subset.
For some background, consider a set $A$ and a function $f : P(A) \to P(A)$, where $P(A)$ is the powerset of $A$. Suppose that $f$ is monotonic - that is, if $K \subseteq J \subseteq A$ then $f(K) \subseteq f(J)$.
In this case, $f$ must have a "least fixed point". That is, there must be some $K \in P(A)$ such that $f(K) = K$ and for every $J$, if $f(J) = J$ then $K \subseteq J$.
This least fixed point is constructed by defining $K = \cap \{J \subseteq A | f(J) \subseteq J\}$. For consider the set $f(K)$, and consider an arbitrary set $J \subseteq A$ such that $f(J) \subseteq J$. Then we have $K \subseteq J$, and thus $f(K) \subseteq f(J) \subseteq J$. Therefore, we must have $f(K) \subseteq K$. But since $f(K) \subseteq K$, we also have $f(f(K)) \subseteq f(K)$. And therefore, $K \subseteq f(K)$. Thus, we see that $f(K) = K$, and $K$ is indeed a fixed point.
And clearly, if we have any $J$ such that $J = f(J)$, then we in particular have $f(J) \subseteq J$ and therefore $K \subseteq J$. So $K$ is indeed the "least fixed point" of $f$.
Let's discuss how this applies to the definition of formulas. Consider the alphabet $\Sigma = \{(, ), \neg\} \cup B \cup V$, where $B$ is the set of binary operators and $V$ is the set of variables.
We then define the set $\Sigma^*$ to be the set of all finite sequences with elements in $\Sigma$. We abusively write $V \subseteq \Sigma^*$ to be the set of one-element sequences where the single element is a variable.
Now given a set $U \subseteq \Sigma^*$, define $f(U) = V \cup \{\neg \phi | \phi \in U\} \cup \{(\phi * \psi) | \phi, \psi \in U, * \in B\}$. We see that $f : P(\Sigma^*) \to P(\Sigma^*)$ is an increasing function. Therefore, $f$ has a least fixed point.
That least fixed point is the set of all formulas. Call the least fixed point $K$.
What do we know about $K$? We know that $K = V \cup \{\neg \phi | \phi \in K\} \cup \{(\phi * \psi) | \phi, \psi \in K, * \in B\}$. It follows immediately that every formula can be written as $a$ for $a \in V$, or as $\neg \phi$ for some formula $\phi$, or as $(\phi * \psi)$ for formulas $\phi, \psi$ and binary operator $* \in B$.
We also have the following "induction principle" for $K$. Consider a predicate $P$. Suppose that for all $v \in V$, $P(v)$. Suppose also that if $P(\phi)$, we then have $P(\neg \phi)$. And finally, suppose that if $P(\phi)$ and $P(\psi)$, and if we have $* \in B$, then $P((\phi * \psi))$ holds. Then for every formula $\xi \in K$, $P(\xi)$ holds.
How do we know this? Consider the set $J = \{\xi \in \Sigma^* | P(\xi)\}$. Then $f(J) \subseteq J$. Then $K \subseteq J$.
It turns out that this induction principle, together with the fact that $f(K) \subseteq K$, uniquely characterises $K$. This is the basis of the theory of recursive definitions of a subset and the corresponding principles of induction.
Interestingly, there is another way to define $K$ in this case. It can be shown that $K = \bigcup\limits_{n = 0}^\infty f^n(\emptyset)$. Intuitively, $f^n(\emptyset)$ is the set of all formulas which can be formed using rules 1-3 with a depth of at most $n$. This is the justification for rule 4.
