Albert is in every sense of the word, a genuine guitar wizard".- Earl Scruggs
"When Saint Peter asks me to chronicle my time down here on earth, I'll be able to say - with pride if that's allowed - that for a while I played rhythm guitar in a band with Albert Lee."- Emmylou Harris
Guitar legend ALBERT LEE first came to prominence during a 1964-68 stint in British Blues and R & B stalwarts Chris Farlowe's Thunderbirds. After working in the UK bands for touring country acts such as Bobby Bare and Skeeter Davis, Lee's next full-time berth was two years with the UK answer to the Flying Burrito Brothers and Nitty Gritty Dirt Band-Head, Hands, and Feet. His reputation grew and session work blossomed, including appearances on "The London Bo Diddley Sessions" for Chess and Jerry Lee Lewis' "The London Sessions". This and other work with U.S. based greats led to a permanent position in the Crickets, and by the time that ended Albert had long since made Southern California his home. There he became friendly with Don Everly, who had also settled in Southern California; they played regularly on a formal and informal basis, with Albert contributing to Don's 1974 solo effort "Sunset Towers". The move to California also led to work on sessions for the debut album of Jackson Browne.
Lee joined Joe Cocker's band in the mid-70s, a time that included recordings for the April 1976 release "Stingray". From there A & M Records signed Albert as an artist in his own right. The solo album's completion was delayed by constant studio and touring work, primarily in Emmylou Harris' Hot Band; in 1976 Albert replaced James Burton when Burton left to continue work with Elvis Presley's TCB band. The Emmylou Harris albums "Luxury Liner" (Jan. 1977), "Quarter Moon in a Ten Cent Town" (Jan. 1978) "Blue Kentucky Girl" (April 1979), "Roses in the Snow" (May 1980, recorded July 1979), and "Evangeline" (Jan 1981, recorded 1978-80) all include Albert. He ended his touring tenure with the Hot Band to complete his solo album, and "Hiding" was finally released in 1979.
An invitation around the Christmas season in 1978 led to a five-year adventure for Albert in Eric Clapton's band. The live album "Just One Night", recorded at Budokan in December 1979, was the first release (April 1980) to feature Albert. "Another Ticket" (Feb. 1981), "Time Pieces Vol 2-Live in the 70s" (1983), and "Money and Cigarettes" (Feb. 1983) all were part of Albert's tenure with Eric.
His studio work in this period continued, including contributions to three albums by Rosanne Cash: 1979's "Right or Wrong", 1981's "Seven Year Ache", and 1982's "Somewhere in the Stars". Other sessions included work with Dave Edmunds, Rodney Crowell, Nanci Griffith, Carlene Carter, and countless others. His solo efforts continued as well, with the self-titled "Albert Lee" in 1982, and instrumental releases on MCA- the acclaimed "Speechless" (1986) and "Gagged But Not Bound" (1987).
When the Everly Brothers reunited on September 23, 1983 at London's Royal Albert Hall, Albert was on hand as guitarist and Musical Director. He continued in that role for over 20 years until the Brothers retired. An invitation in 1987 by steel guitarist Gerry Hogan for Albert to play his annual festival led to the formation of Albert Lee and Hogan's Heroes, who remain an active touring force in the UK and Europe- and a recording force worldwide, with 7 albums to their credit. The DVD "Live at the Tivoli" was released in 2011, and the new CD, "On the Town Tonight" was released on February 14, 2012.
Albert remains an occasional member of the Crickets, and tours regularly with Bill Wyman's Rhythm Kings. Sugar Hill Records released Albert's solo efforts "Heartbreak Hill" in 2003 and "Road Runner" in 2006. A summer 2011 jaunt with John Jorgenson prompted Albert to form his own U.S. band for the very first time.
The Albert Lee Band includes John Thomas, aka "J.T', on keyboards. J.T.'s musical resume includes 23 years with Bruce Hornsby, who graciously called John "the greatest keyboard player in the band." Emmylou Harris, Don Henley, Sparks, Tracy Chapman and a host of other have called upon John's gifts. Bass player Will MacGregor's credits are a testament to his wide-ranging talents, having worked with the likes of the Pretenders, Pat Boone, Exene Cervenka, and more.

Each year at the beginning of January, the tech world gathers in Las Vegas to put it all on the line at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES). New products are unveiled, parties remove years off of everyone's lives, and we (the media) attempt to cover it all while giving you our thoughts on the insane amount of information that was poured down our throats. It may sound like a blast…actually it is a blast. It's like one giant playground for nerds. Yeah, it's awesome.
Tato and I will be on hand for it all starting Sunday afternoon. A couple of pre-CES press events will happen that afternoon, but the big day that you will really want to be here for is Monday. Monday is official press day at CES, which means all of your favorite companies will be showing off their latest and greatest 2012 goodies. You will see new stuff from LG, Samsung, NVIDIA, Intel and more. Some of these press events will be streamed live (like NVIDIA's), but no matter what, you can expect a live blog with pictures and play-by-play coverage right here.
After press day ends, it's off to the show floor from Tuesday-Friday to meet with companies 1-on-1. We already have meetings set up with Verizon, Motorola, Samsung, TI, NVIDIA, and so many more that it would take up an entire column to list. Just know that if one of these major tech companies has something worthwhile, that we will bring it to you.
Everything will be posted here at Droid Life as normal, but if you want to find late breaking news, see photos from the entire week, or simply dive into the lives of two CES attendees, you can follow Tato and I in a variety of ways. The biggest is obviously going to be Twitter. Our Twitter timeline will be CES upon CES upon CES. Google+ will also be a way to see a constant stream of photos.
It should be one hell of a week, to say the least. Anything in particular that you are looking forward to seeing?

At Lee's Summit Medical Center, our team of bariatric surgery experts will create a treatment plan to meet your specific needs in order for you to be most successful. We are with you during your entire weight loss journey providing support and expertise throughout every step.
Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Banding (LAP-BAND®) is a surgical procedure where a small band is placed around the upper part of the stomach. This creates a small pouch to hold food, limiting the amount of food that can be consumed and making you feel full.
Revision procedures are not one-size-fits-all, and there are multiple factors that determine whether or not you are a candidate. The information below will give you an idea of what options are available based on your bariatric surgical history.
Sometimes after a sleeve procedure, you may not experience as much weight loss as anticipated. It's important to make sure you are appropriately educated on how to use the sleeve as a successful weight loss tool. Can you answer "yes" to each of the following statements?
My daily calorie intake is 800 calories or less while incorporating 60-80 grams of lean protein.
I drink 80-100 ounces of zero calorie liquids daily and avoid all liquid calories (i.e., milk, juice, smoothies, sweet tea, soda, coffee creamer/drinks).
I do not drink with my meals and wait a minimum of 30 minutes after eating to resume drinking.
I exercise a minimum of 3-5 times per week for at least 45 minutes.
If you answered "no" to any of the above questions, give our weight loss team a call so we can work together on a plan that's best for you. If you answered "yes" to all of the questions above and have been unsuccessful at losing weight or have regained weight, you may be a candidate for conversion to gastric bypass or duodenal switch procedure.
It is uncommon for patients to need a gastric bypass revision. The most common complaint from patients who have regained their weight after gastric bypass surgery is that the pouch has stretched out. While that is possible for some, most patients tend to revert back to previous eating habits. It is important that you continue to track and remain aware of the type/quantity of food you are eating.
Weight loss surgery provides you with a tool to help deal with issues such as a slow metabolism or poor eating habits, however the main function is to help control appetite and portion sizes.
Another possible cause of weight gain after gastric bypass surgery is stretching of the opening between the pouch and small bowel connection (termed "anastomosis") over time. This can lead to faster emptying of the pouch which allows you to eat more or be less full with a meal. Revision surgery is not usually effective in maintaining that small opening over time.
You are at least 100 lbs over your ideal weight and you have been unable to lose weight through diet and exercise.
Your Body Mass Index (BMI) is 40 or above.
Your BMI is 35 or above and you have a condition related to being overweight such as high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes or sleep apnea.
Your doctor will order tests to check for nutritional deficiencies, and prescribe any supplements you may need prior to your surgery.
Other pre-operative tests may be necessary to ensure you are healthy enough for surgery. In addition to meeting with other providers like a dietitian, before your surgery.
If you smoke, your doctor will provide resources and support to help you quit smoking prior to surgery. Smoking slows recovery and increases surgery-related risks, so it's important that you quit before undergoing surgery.
You should give your doctor a complete list of all prescription medicines, supplements and over-the-counter medicines that you take. In the week prior to your surgery, your doctor may ask you to discontinue certain medications such as aspirin, ibuprofen or warfarin.
The laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass typically takes up to a couple of hours. A two to three day hospital stay is necessary after surgery to help you recover. You can expect to return to normal activity within a couple weeks after surgery.
The procedure is predominantly effective for people with a high BMI because it has more predictable outcomes than some other types of weight loss surgery.
One year after surgery, weight loss averages 77% of excess body weight.
Studies show that after 10 to 14 years, some patients have maintained 50-60% of weight loss.
This procedure will help to control or eliminate various weight related conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure and cholesterol and heart disease.
Ongoing adjustments aren't necessary as would be with other weight loss procedures. However, regular follow up care is needed to ensure weight loss is on track.
These symptoms typically lasts 30-45 minutes. For many people who have had a gastric bypass, dumping or the fear of dumping serves as a motivation to make better food choices and stay away from foods that have tempted them in the past.
Your body will no longer properly absorb nutrients such as iron and calcium because the duodenum (small intestine) is bypassed, which can lead to iron deficiency anemia. This is a particular concern for those who experience chronic blood loss during excessive menstrual flow or bleeding hemorrhoids. Women, already at risk for osteoporosis after menopause, should be aware of the potential for increased loss of bone calcium.
Bypassing the duodenum has caused metabolic bone disease in some patients, resulting in bone pain, loss of height, humped back and fractures of the ribs and hip bones. All of these deficiencies can be managed through proper diet and vitamin supplements.
The bypassed portion of the stomach, duodenum and segments of the small intestine cannot be easily seen using X-ray or endoscopy (a small, flexible tube with a camera and light attached to the end) if problems such as ulcers, bleeding or malignancy should occur.
Vertical sleeve gastrectomy involves removing a large portion of the stomach. The new, smaller stomach is about the size of a banana, limiting the amount of food you can eat at once and helps you feel fuller after smaller meals.
You are more than 100 lbs. over your ideal weight and you have been unable to lose weight through diet and exercise.
You have a BMI of 35 or higher and have a condition such as heart disease, sleep apnea, high blood pressure or diabetes that is related to being overweight.
Vertical sleeve gastrectomy is often performed on patients who are too overweight to safely undergo other types of weight loss surgery.
If you and your weight loss team has determined that vertical sleeve gastrectomy is the best weight loss surgery option for you and your needs, your procedure will be scheduled.
The vertical sleeve gastrectomy is a laparoscopic procedure done through small incisions using a tiny camera.
Your surgeon will make two to five small incisions in your abdomen. The scope and instruments needed to perform the surgery are inserted through those incisions.
The camera (now inside your abdomen) is connected to a video monitor, so the surgeon can have a clear view during the procedure.
Your surgeon removes approximately three-fourths of your stomach, and joins the remaining portions of your stomach with surgical staples. This process creates a long vertical tube-shaped stomach.
Your surgeon removes the scope and other instruments, and the incisions are stitched closed.
The laparoscopic vertical sleeve gastrectomy takes about 60-90 minutes. A two to three day hospital stay is necessary after surgery to help you recover. You'll be able to drink clear liquids the day after your procedure, and begin a pureed diet by the time you go home. Your surgeon, nurse or dietitian will work with you to develop a proper diet following surgery. Following your dietary instructions is important for your safety and to achieve maximum weigh loss results.
ORBERA™ is a non-surgical weight loss procedure for those who haven't had luck losing weight with other diet and exercise programs. The ORBERA procedure was designed by weight loss specialists to be a temporary tool to assist in weight loss. ORBERA is a two-part weight loss system that places a soft gastric balloon in the stomach to limit how much you can comfortably eat at one time. In addition, this program includes a one-year coaching program to help you maintain your new, healthier lifestyle.
ORBERA™ is ideal for people who don't want to undergo surgery and the risks of complications while still getting the positive effects of weight loss surgery. The placement of the soft gastric balloon only takes about 20-30 minutes for your doctor to perform.
You will be given a mild sedative to help you relax.
The deflated gastric balloon will be inserted through your mouth and into your stomach.
Your doctor will then fill the balloon with a safe saline solution until it is about the size of a grapefruit.
Most people are able to go home the same day. The gastric balloon will stay in place for six months, during which time you'll see the most dramatic weight loss. Your doctor will work closely with you along with other specialists such as a dietitian to help develop a healthier diet plan and lifestyle habits for you to follow. After six months, the balloon will be removed and for the next several months, you will continue to work through your weight loss coaching program to make sure you have developed and are maintaining healthy habits to achieve maximum weight loss.

Archaeological Investigations of the Frontier Settlement of Hisn al-Tinat, Turkey | 2010
EGER Alexander
The Tüpras Field Archaeological Project began in 2006 after a substantial scatter of Early Islamic ceramics was detected from a walking survey around the Bronze, Iron Age, and Hellenistic port of Kinet Höyük in 2005. The site, known as the Tüpras Field, is a low mounded site completely covered by cultivated fields located 800 meters north of Kinet. The site is in the province of Hatay in Turkey, in the northern part of the Bay of Iskenderun and at the foot of the western side of the tall Amanus Mountains near Antakya (classical Antioch). Geographically and topographically, the site is part of the Plain of Issos, the easternmost extent of the broad Cilician Plain. Located near the Syrian Gates, this narrow coastal plain was a corridor that connected Anatolia (via Cilicia) with Syria (via the Amuq Plain) and was known as a key area for the harvesting of timber from the mountains. Archaeological investigations at Tüpras Field in 2006, 2008, and 2010 revealed an eighth to twelfth century settlement dominated by a small fortified enclosure with surrounding buildings. The site is to be identified with the frontier settlement of Hisn al-Tînât, previously unlocated but known from the tenth century geographical sources of Ibn Hawqal and Muqaddasî as a military garrison and depot and port for the gathering and redistribution of timber to Syria, Egypt and other parts of the frontier.
General view of Tüpras field and surrounding area
(A.A. Eger)
Very little is known about the Islamic-Byzantine frontier or al-thughûr in the Early Islamic period (mid-seventh to mid-tenth centuries) and even less is known from the subsequent period of Byzantine reconquest (c. 963 to the end of the eleventh century). What little is known comes from historical accounts from either Muslim or Christian sources that are imbued with a strong sense of religious and political propaganda. New archaeological work is filling in our understanding that the frontier was a settled region, well-connected with both Byzantine and Islamic central lands, with an economy comprised of local industry and long-distance trade. Early Islamic settlement on the coasts of the Byzantine-Islamic frontier, itself another frontier, has remained elusive. Yet, historical accounts of sea-borne Islamic invasions as far as Constantinople and archaeological evidence of both (eastern) Islamic material culture in the west and non-Islamic material culture in eastern sites around the Mediterranean attest at the very least to Islamic presence and involvement in port sites, trade, and shipping. At the intersection of two frontiers, the site of Hisn al-Tînât in the Plain of Issos is well situated to closely examine a frontier settlement and its role.
Plan of Early Islamic and Middle Byzantine phases around the fortified enclosure.
(A. Eger)
Given that sources mention that the site was not only a garrison but depended local natural resources (timber) as a depot and port, the project incorporated both an archaeological and an environmental investigation of the site in relation to its surroundings. Soundings in 2006, archaeological and geomorphological excavations with geophysical prospection in 2008, and material culture analysis and geomorphological survey investigating the site's watershed in 2010 were conducted by myself and geomorphologist Dr. Timothy Beach (Georgetown University) under the auspices of the director of the Kinet Höyük project, Dr. Marie-Henriette Gates of Bilkent University (Ankara, Turkey) with funding from the Fondation Max van Berchem.

Archaeological excavation revealed that the site had two major phases and an intervening secondary phase and was founded in the mid-8th century and destroyed and abandoned sometime in the early 12th century when settlement during the Crusader period was taken up once more on the high mound of Kinet. The earliest phase of the site (mid-8th century to tenth), was only revealed in small areas and suggest a wide cobblestone and ashlar fortification wall with smaller interior walls perpendicular to the enclosure walls. Parts of a room with a stone pavement and a patch of tile floor were excavated and associated with this structure, likely the original Hisn al-Tînât known from primary source descriptions. South of the enclosure, a domestic building was excavated with several rooms around a possible courtyard with a main threshold flanked to either side by low square ashlars supporting plastered colonettes. The walls of the building contained spolia from a nearby Late Roman settlement. Part of a stone pavement in a room off of the courtyard was found utilizing a basalt grave stela with a crude Greek inscription. Grain bins in the courtyard indicated a domestic function. The Early Islamic assemblage associated with the lower enclosure and its floors and the domestic building included glazed wares mainly produced locally on the frontier at cities such as Raqqa and Antâkiya, as well as some wares produced farther south in central Islamic lands and Iraq (such as lusterware). Brittleware cooking pots were locally produced on the frontier and buffwares, including the thin-walled mold relief pitchers mainly from the ninth century, were locally produced or similarly from Iraq and the Jordan Valley. An early 'Abbasid copper coin (767/768-816/817 C.E.) from an Iraqi mint was found in the domestic building. The material culture shows both local frontier manufacture and long distance imports, mainly with 'Abbasid central lands during the eighth - tenth centuries, implying that the frontier, beyond a military no man's land, was part of an interconnected economic trade network.

Following an intermediate phase or rebuilding, a large well preserved and articulated fortified structure was constructed and inhabited in the last two phases of occupation. The structure measured 25 x 25 m with corner square towers and tower buttresses arrayed along the midpoints of the massive fortification wall. The building was built directly over the Early Islamic enclosure. Internal walls created rooms about 3.4 m to a side and were built above earlier leveled walls. A thin black floor surface with many large sized ceramic sherds was the living surface of the structure which was subsequently destroyed by fire, evident from thick layers of burning within the building in the uppermost phases. This was corroborated by geophysical evidence of burning only in the area of the fortified structure and nowhere else on the site itself. The structure belongs to the period of Byzantine reconquest of the region or the Middle Byzantine period. Unlike the Early Islamic period of occupation, no other structures were found on the site during this period but the well-built fortified enclosure. In contrast to the Early Islamic phases, preliminary faunal analysis showed a significant and majority presence of pig, many bones of which were juvenile with butchery marks, suggesting that pigs were bred for meat production from this phase of the enclosure. Pottery ranged from the tenth to early twelfth and constituted a predominately less local and more Levantine and Egyptian coastally connected assemblage. The presence of many metal and industrial objects and weaving related objects suggests that some rooms were used as workshops or stables or other livestock areas. Some may have had purposeful usage, for example one room revealed at least four clay pestles while another room had none. The discovery of horseshoes and nails in great amounts from the excavations suggests the importance in manufacture and/or trade in iron. The material culture of the period of Byzantine reconquest on the frontier implies more connection and exchange with Islamic lands than suggested by historical sources which paint a picture of instability and holy war. The fortified enclosure of the latest phase seems of similar size and orientation to the Early Islamic one below and as such, can be used to hypothesize what the Early Islamic structure represented. This type of structure, based on its small size, qusûr type of arrangement, mid to late eighth century date, and open location along major frontier roads corresponds with the category of the fortified waystation, seen throughout the frontier, and part of a network of sites built in the early 'Abbasid period. Geophysical survey indicated that there are more extramural buildings like the domestic structure, between the fortified enclosure and the coast. This raises the possibility whether there was continual settlement down to the sea not relegated within the confines of a fortification questioning the idea militarized frontier and garrison under constant threat.
View of the fortified enclosure from the west during excavation
Key to the project was an environmental investigation whose aims were to locate the elements of a timber industry. In a geomorphological trench excavated at the coastal faultline, a buried peat layer contained many well-preserved pieces of wood laying along parallel lines outside of a building with a tile and plaster floor and two Early Islamic large buff amphora fragments and an Early Islamic eighth to tenth century brittleware holemouth cooking pot. Remote sensing using CORONA satellite imagery shows a relic stream, the Tüm Çay, coming down off the Amanus Mountains and opening up into a lagoonal delta west of the site. The lagoon would presumably have also functioned as the harbor anchorage. Geomorphological survey into the Tüm Çay watershed at the foot of the mountains showed one other significant Early Islamic site on the streambed which would have facilitated the transportation of timber. Southeast of the site, near Kinet Höyük, we excavated patches of a Roman/Late Roman coastal road used in the medieval periods in 2005. These elements – the excavated wood, coastline, anchorage/harbor, river, coastal road, and a contemporary site on the same river – build a picture of the environmental landscape of the site and the site's connection to its immediate natural resources, its role in the procuring and shipping timber, and the site's wider connections.
The frontier site of Early Islamic/Middle Byzantine Hisn al-Tînât alludes to the complex symbiotic yet stable relationship of a militarized and economic resource-based frontier for an otherwise turbulent period of history generally thought to be characterized by one of general decline, abandonment, or conquest by Islamic (including later Saljuq), Byzantine, and Crusader groups. Future work in 2011 will target the Early Islamic enclosure, port, and area in between, examine the capacity for timber trade with geomorphological excavation and coring of the streambed and coastline, and finish analysis of the material culture to gain a better understanding of the scale of these short and long distance networks on the frontier.

Jeremy Lane
Jeremy Lane said during DUI arrest he had used marijuana: 'I was more high than anything'
After being arrested for driving under the influence in Washington on Sunday morning, Seattle Seahawks cornerback Jeremy Lane told police that he was worried about people thinking he was drunk.
"This time, I was more high than anything," he said while sitting in the back of a police car, according to a copy of the arrest report obtained by USA TODAY Sports on Wednesday.
Lane was arrested by a Washington State Patrol officer early Sunday morning after being pulled over for going 80 mph in a 60-mph zone with his hazard lights on, according to the arrest report. He was traveling east on Interstate 90 outside Seattle with one passenger and told police he was returning home because his alarm system had been triggered.
Lane admitted to police that he had smoked marijuana roughly three hours prior to being pulled over. The arresting patrolman wrote in his report that there was "a strong odor of burnt marijuana inside the vehicle," adding that the cornerback's speech was slow and slurred and his eyes were bloodshot.
Lane also denied drinking that day, though he registered a blood-alcohol content of .039 during a preliminary breath test, according to the arrest report.
After field sobriety tests confirmed his initial suspicions, the state patrolman arrested Lane and explained that he suspected a combination of alcohol and marijuana impairment, according to the arrest report. Lane was taken to a nearby hospital, where police collected a blood sample, then booked at King County Jail. He was released on his own recognizance about four hours later, according to jail records.
Lane, who is perhaps best known for his interception of Tom Brady and subsequent broken arm during the Super Bowl in 2015, complained that the arm was causing him pain while being handcuffed, according to the report. The arresting patrolman wrote in his report that he linked two sets of handcuffs together in an attempt to make Lane more comfortable.

Lane was a sixth-round draft pick in 2012 and has spent his entire six-year career with the Seahawks. He has started 21 games, including six this season, and recorded 146 tackles and two interceptions in his career.
As of Wednesday morning, the Seahawks had not responded to a request for comment on Lane's arrest from USA TODAY Sports.

Ectot Upsets Flintshire in the Joe Hirsch Turf Classic
Photo: Scott Serio/Eclipse Sportswire
Heavy rains in the New York area produced a wet and yielding turf course at Belmont Park which was to the liking of Ectot (9-1), who was able to lead the mile and a half $500,000 Joe Hirsch Turf Classic (G1) every step of the way and thus upset the odds-on (1-5) favorite Flintshire.
Flintshire, who was the undisputed leader of the Male Turf division based on his three very impressive graded stakes victories this year, had a reputation for not liking the soft going when he raced in Europe. The Chad Brown trainee raced in perfect position throughout the race, but when he was asked to make his usual explosive move by jockey Javier Castallano he came up empty and could not gain any ground on the eventual winner, Ectot.
A disappointed Castellano said, "I was surprised because I think he's one of the best horses in the country. The way he did it today, unfortunately, there isn't a lot you can do. It was really soft ground and heavy. I think he didn't like it much."
Ectot had shown a great deal of promise early in his career. While racing in Europe he won six races in a row spanning his juvenile and then three-year-old seasons. His win streak ended with a 17th place finish in the l'Arc de Triomphe of 2014. After being unable to find the winner's circle as a four-year-old, he was send to the United States and transferred to the barn of Todd Pletcher. He made two starts on the firm Saratoga grass earlier in the year finishing the fourth and second.
Today, however, was to be Ectot's day. Jose Ortiz got the mount for the first time after his regular rider John Velazquez switched horses to ride Money Multiplier for Chad Brown. Right out of the gate Ortiz sent Ectot to the lead and there he stayed the entire twelve furlongs. Ortiz got Ectot in front where he relaxed while maintaining a lead of a length of so. Money Multiplier sat just outside of Ectot with Twilight Eclipse in third and Flintshire was in fourth in the four-horse field while running safely in the two-path.
The fractions were just what a horse running loose on the lead would like: 24.78, 49.85, 1:15.03, 1:15.03, and 1:39.78. Turning for home Castellano had Flintshire on the move as they easily took second place. However, down the stretch as Castellano asked for more; Ortiz looked around for challengers, but found none. Flintshire clearly did not like the yielding turf and could not sustain a rally while Ectot spurted away to win by a final margin of five lengths.
"When we got to the backside, he relaxed very well for me," said Ortiz. "When I passed the three-eighths pole, I looked and I saw Twilight Eclipse three lengths behind me and I saw Flintshire in the clear, so I still had to run to win. When we got to the quarter pole, I saw Johnny all out and Flintshire was passing and I opened two lengths without even asking, so I thought I had a really good shot. When I asked him to go, he responded very well. I was happy to win this race for the Sheikh and for Todd and I appreciate the opportunity."
For Pletcher, Ectot would be his third victory in the Turf Classic having won the race in 2006 and 2007 with English Channel. This was first win for Jose Ortiz.
With the victory, Ectot secured a "Win and You're In" spot in the Breeders' Cup Turf on November 5 at Santa Anita. Ectot earned $300,000 for the win and improved his career stats to an impressive 14: 7-2-1 with earnings of $840,010. For his supporters at the windows, Ectot paid $20.40, 4.40. In the four-horse field there was no show wagering. The $2 exacta with Flintshire paid $37.00. Twilight Eclipse was able to get third, while Money Multiplier ended up in last position.
In the end Pletcher said of Ectot, "If you looked back at his two and three-year-old form, you would hope he would get back to that [Breeders' Cup contention]. Today's race was a big step. We don't anticipate we'll get a lot of rain in California but at the same time, he's run well on firm ground. We're delighted with his efforts today."

Q: What calculate $\ln i$ I would like to know how to calculate $\ln i$. I found a formula on the internet that says $$\ln z=\ln|z|+i\operatorname{Arg}(z)$$Then $|i|=1$ and $\operatorname{Arg}(i)$ is?

A: If you want to know what is $\ln i$ you should make yourself aware of what the result should be. By definition the logarithm of $i$ should be some complex number $z$ such that $e^z=i$. But by Euler's formula $e^{i\pi/2}=\cos(\pi/2)+i\sin(\pi/2)=i$, so you could say that "$\ln i =i\pi/2$". And that is true if we choose $\ln$ to be the principal branch of the complex logarithm.
But be aware that since the exponential function is periodic, also $e^{i\pi/2+2\pi ik}=i$ holds for all $k\in\mathbb{Z}$. Therefore the logarithm is a multi-valued function.

A: Note that you are referencing the argument with capital $A$, which implies the principal value, i.e., $\operatorname{Arg} z \in (-\pi,\pi]$.  Therefore $\operatorname{Arg}(i) = \pi/2$ and $\log i = i \pi/2$.

A: Given any non-zero complex number $z,$ $\operatorname{Arg}(z)$ (the principal argument of $z$) is the unique $\theta\in(-\pi,\pi]$ such that $z=|z|e^{i\theta}.$ Observing that $\theta$ gives a radian measure of rotation from the positive real axis, what must the principal argument of $i$ be, that is, how much must we rotate $|i|=1$ to get it to $i$ again?

Better Days With HATH CBD
CBD Queen: Former Fashion Director Kelley Ireland Brings a New Way to De-Stress and Manage Anxiety
HATH wants to help you chill out. Co-founder and CMO Kelley Ireland-Kelly spent over two decades in the fashion industry, which (as some of you know) can do a number on one's mental health. "I worked in fashion for over 20 years, and it was such a wildly stressful yet amazingly gratifying ride," she told SVN.
Ireland-Kelly learned a lot, and many doors were opened for her, but she described a lot of it as "chaotic and disruptive." This feeling was brought front and center when she faced another life change: motherhood. "Motherhood was a big shock to my system," she said. "Not only did I feel like I had lost my identity, but I also felt physically upside down. I had postpartum depression with both of my girls, but once the fog had lifted, I still felt so fragile."
As she searched for remedies and ways to feel better, she was shocked at how frequently serious prescription drugs were part of the conversation. "Friends of mine kept telling me to try Xanax or other hardcore remedies to help me deal with all the chaos going on in my life," she said. "That was a major red flag for me. The thought of taking prescription drugs to help me cope just seemed unnatural. So, instead of taking a visit to the doctor's office, I started researching healthier alternatives that could be less destructive to my overall health. That's when I discovered CBD."
That was a turning point in both her personal wellness and her career trajectory. Today, Ireland-Kelly is forging a new path for herself and her business, while bringing a new CBD-centric suite of products to market, aimed at helping manage the "everyday pain, stress and anxiety associated with being human," she said. Read: we all need to take a nice deep breath, and she wants to help us do just that. Enter: HATH.
In essence, her brand HATH wants to streamline your mental wellness routine with specifically curated supplements to use at different times throughout the day. "We created easy-to-understand, daily CBD solutions to help you feel better and stay healthy," Ireland-Kelly told SVN.
After trying her first tincture, Ireland-Kelly immediately felt the effects, but decided she wanted to dig more into the science of how it all worked (smart girl). "When approaching HATH, my co-founder Jason and I wanted to have different people try our products," she explained. "We consulted with physicians, chiropractors, and anesthesiologists to really explore the capacity of CBD to help with pain relief. With a combination of Jason's background in the cannabis industry paired with our medical advisors, we put together a team of leaders that help educate us, and also our consumers at the same time."
And that's one of the key differentiators for this brand. HATH wants to do more than create products for everyday mental wellness and pain relief — one of their biggest goals as a brand and business is transparency and education for consumers. According to Ireland-Kelly, HATH wants to "properly educate the public on the benefits of hemp and CBD with third-party studies and clear product labels." And while that might sound like a brand just doing its due-diligence, in an industry like this where labeling is a mess and consumers are seriously uneducated (and oft misinformed), this is a big. freakin'. deal.
"Each product has an accessible, prominently displayed QR code that will lead you to data and test results from third-party labs," she said. "This ensures every consumer is educated when it comes to CBD consumption for everyday use." And not just HATH CBD — all CBD. "We want our customers to know exactly what they're putting into their bodies, and feel good about it," she said.
Another point that sets HATH apart from the sea of brands popping up left and right: their medical advisory board. The team comprises five doctors, ranging from surgeons to anesthesiologists and a Doctor of Chiropractic who specializes in athletic health and performance. In other words, there's some serious medical brainpower behind this brand's every move.
A key reason behind for assembling a team of medical masterminds? To support the growing demand for more natural pain-relief methods. "As part of the medical board's involvement in HATH, they will be working to design science-based approaches to elucidate various questions regarding the effectiveness of CBD, its safety, and ways to integrate it into current medical practice," a HATH representative told SVN. "This effort is of particular importance as the medical community and the public are searching for ways to reduce opioid use and decrease dependency on traditional prescription medication." This is looking particularly promising as early studies have indicated CBD may help alleviate the need for opioids.
"Given strong preclinical data suggesting multiple useful properties of CBD in respect to inflammation and pain, this agent holds tremendous promise and potential," said Dr. Stavros Memtsoudis, MD, anesthesiologist and advisor for HATH. "In the midst of an opioid epidemic and with limited alternatives, the medical and scientific communities are motivated to study CBD's effectiveness and safety and incorporate it responsibly into multimodal pain management strategies." This is where HATH wants to play a part, beyond just providing CBD products to consumers. "Our goal is to encourage and help with the study of CBD in a perioperative, as well as recuperative setting using a 360-approach taking into account the needs and concerns of all stakeholders while using a pharmacologically sound delivery approach," said Dr. Memtsoudis.
And of course, we'd be remiss to not mention their beautiful product line. The line was crafted to create a 360 mental and physical wellness routine. Their Better Days Capsules are positioned as your wake-up, de-inflame vitamins, using a mix of 25mg of CBD, 500mg of turmeric, and 10mg of black pepper extract (which, as you may know, activates the curcumin in turmeric to allow for serious anti-inflammatory powers). Then you'll wind down with the Better Nights Capsules, which combine CBD and melatonin to lull into a stress-free slumber. In between, you can opt for a 35mg Hemp-CBD Transdermal Patch for targeted pain relief. Sounds dreamy, yes?
Ireland-Kelly says, "Between my home life and work life, I wanted to use my newfound knowledge in the CBD industry to help other women and men who were facing similar difficulties." And she's doing just that.

AREX is gaining value and is a great chance for penny stock traders to make money. there was no way to tell if it was gonna breakout (or at least at my skill level) but there is still a good chance that you guys can make money. tell me what you think and have a nice weekend!
ASNA is begging to exit the growth column (Not sure if thats what its called). the stock might still have an uptrend and people could make money, but it is reaching its turning point and could start decreasing so be careful. tell me what you think and have a nice weekend!
AXAS is an easy money maker if the trend stays the same. AXAS touched its resistance point multiple times but now has passed the point (after hours not included). We will see how this will go on monday and hopefully, a money making chance. While you are looking at graphs, also search AEMD and CTIC. Have a nice weekend and look out for breakout stocks.
VKTX is showing a breakout pattern and could potentially breakout on Feb 22nd. Right now (not including after-hours) is near the resistance point and could eventually surpass the point and breakout. The 15 min graph is not so clear so people interested should look at a 1min time frame and Tell me what you think in the comments.
The stock could possibly breakout on Feb 22nd. The red shows what I think is gonna happen and the blue shows what potentially could happen. Tell me what you think in the comments.
LSCC could possibly breakout on Feb 22nd. On the 15 minute graph, there are red lines and those are what I think is gonna happen to the stock is in red. The 15 min graph is not so clear so people interested should look at a 1min time frame and Tell me what you think in the comments.
ONTX could possibly continue its current bullish trend. There are many outcomes as I have add lines on the graph. What I personally think whats gonna happen is in red. Tell me what you think in comments and lets hope this happens.
ECYT could possibly breakout 2/21/18. The 15 min graph is not as clear so people who are interested should make their own graph that is similar in a 1min graph. This stock has broken out before and still has room to grow.
GLDD is showing a great trend and could lead it to become a breakout stock. Has a triangle pattern and could lead to pass the resistance line.

Though I don't expect this council to get any attention (it's as safe Tory as they come) it'll be interesting to see if the Lib Dems can reclaim the opposition or if independents can make inroads.
A new independent grouping was formed in March of five councillors, which replaced the now four-strong Lib Dem group as the main opposition.
Of the five, one was elected as an independent (although he is a former Lib Dem, but was reelected as an independent in his own right in 2018) - the other four are made up of two Tories, a UKIPer and a Lib Dem councillor. One of the tories, the UKIPer and the Lib Dem will be up for election in May - whether any of them try and hold onto their seats as independents remains to be seen.

Q: Prove $\|f\|_{L^p(E)} \rightarrow \|f\|_{L^{\infty}(E)}$ as $p \rightarrow \infty$ I'm working on the following question
Suppose m$(E)<\infty$ and $f \in L^\infty(E)$. Prove $\|f\|_{L^p(E)} \rightarrow \|f\|_{L^{\infty}(E)}$ as $p \rightarrow \infty$
I'm trying to show $\|f\|_{L^P(E)} \leq \|f\|_{L^\infty(E)} m(E)^{1/p}$
for getting an upper bound. (checked the way to get a lower bound from the other post)
If I can show $\||f|^p \|_{L^\infty(E)}$ = $\||f| \|_{L^\infty(E)}^p$
then I would get the inequality using Holder's inequality.

: Let $\epsilon<\|f(x)\|_{\infty }$ and define $E_{\epsilon }=\left \{ x:|f(x)|>\|f(x)\|_{\infty }-\epsilon \right \}.$ Then $\|f\|_{p}^{p}\ge \int_{E_{\epsilon }}(\|f\|_{\infty }-\epsilon)^{p}dx=(\|f\|_{\infty }-\epsilon)^{p})\lambda (E_{\epsilon }).$ Now take $pth$ roots and observe that $\lambda (E_{\epsilon })^{1/p}\to 1$ as $p\to \infty.$ This implies that $\|f\|_{p}\ge \|f\|_{\infty} -\epsilon.$
For the other direction, fix $q>1$ and note that $\|f\|_p= \left ( \int_{E} |f|^{p-q}|f|^{q}dx \right )^{1/p}$ whenever $p>q.$


If liturgical art can rightly be called Christ's art, then it should also be considered the art of the people of God, for the people of Christ are intimately linked to Christ and are with Christ and in Christ. Therefore, though the primary role of liturgical art is to give glory to God by reflecting the beauty of the divine, a vital secondary, though in many ways no less important, role of liturgical art is in service to the people of God, the Church itself. Liturgical art must be "worthy of the place of worship and … enhance the liturgical, devotional, and contemplative prayer they are inspired to serve.
In this role of enhancing liturgical, devotional and contemplative prayer, the church art is acting in service to the people as they, in turn, seek to serve God. Certainly, it is possible for the Christian to pray without having religious art nearby. However, when that art is present, it serves the Christian at prayer by acting as a lens through which prayer is focused.

Education Week: Ruby Bridges' First Day At White House
Family GeekMom
A little girl walks to her first day of school in the Norman Rockwell painting titled "The Problem We All Live With." She wears a crisply ironed white dress with ribbons in her hair. She walks past a wall scrawled with racial slurs and smashed tomato, flanked by U.S. Marshals.
The day Ruby Bridges entered a New Orleans elementary school in 1960, every teacher refused to teach a black child and every white family took their children out of school. The six-year-old was taught alone for a full year by a specially hired teacher. On her first day of school, Ruby Bridges became a civil rights icon.
This painting is now on display in the White House, just outside the Oval Office. When Bridges visited to see the historic painting, President Obama told her, "I think it's fair to say that if it hadn't been for you guys, I might not be here and we might not be looking at this together."

Great post. I didn't know about Ruby Bridges.
I grew up in Germany, and when Ruby Bridges walked to school, I wasn't even born.
However, when I was about 4 or 5 years old, a friend of my dad came to visit. I don't remember where he was from, but I know I'd never seen a black person before.
I don't remember much of it, but I do remember being fascinated and asking him why he is a different color. (And will it wash off…lol. Hey, I was very little.)
He smiled and said "It's so you know it's me."
To me that was fair enough and perfectly sensible.
He needed to go get something, and I went with him to the shops. People weren't used to black people and there were stares. I don't recall anyone calling him names or anything, but I remember becoming upset because he was being stared at. My dad told me his friend (sorry, I don't recall his name) got back, chuckling because I'd had a go at someone for "Staring at my friend and whispering". Apparently I threw a right little tantrum lol.
Personally, I thank my dad for bringing me up with all kinds of people around me, both color and nationality wise, and for making me colorblind when it comes to human skin.
And it worked so well, I still don't notice the color of someone's skin. We had two janitors where I worked, both called Mike. Someone came in and asked to see Mike. I asked which one — expecting them to say the older/younger Mike. The guy said "The black one." and I stood there having to think which one he meant — because it never occurred to me that one of the Mike's was black…I just saw them as younger and older Mike.
Best way to be, IMO.
Jennifer D. says:
I have seen that painting as a child, but didn't know it was a real person. Thank you Ruby and your family for all that you have done!
I've seen this original painting, at the Norman Rockwell Museum in MA. It's very moving, to see it hanging in that gallery. I grew up in the late 60s, early 70s and I agree with Ruby, it never even occurred to me to see someone's skin color. My parents just saw people as 'people'. I'm thankful for that.
scott (the other one) says:
Ruby Bridge is an American hero. The things her family went through for her to attend school there–from her father losing his job and her grandparents getting turned off the land they worked as sharecroppers–is horrifying.


While you're learning, networking, and meeting new people, do some good at this year's SMPS Southeastern Regional Conference!
Thanks to all of our SMPS Southeastern Regional Conference (SERC) 2018 friends and colleagues who coordinated the inaugural year of Learning, Networking, and Giving Back by hosting a charity event to support homeless veterans in the Southeast with a toiletry drive for Stand Up for Stand Down. On the heels of that success that raised money and contributions for more than 200 "comfort bags" for veterans, SMPS SERC 2019 chose Levine Children's Hospital in Charlotte for our charity sponsor event this year.
Whether your family is dealing with a child's sudden, serious health concern or a chronic illness, families find superior care and support at Levine Children's Hospital in the heart of the "Queen City." Levine Children's Hospital ensures excellence in children's healthcare by building partnerships with caregivers, families and the community it serves. This partnership began long before the hospital opened its doors in 2007, when generous individuals, corporations and foundations stepped forward to help build this community hospital as a place of hope. This support continues today through volunteerism and generous contributions. Levine Children's Hospital is proudly affiliated with Children's Miracle Network Hospitals, an alliance of 170 children's hospitals throughout the country. Locally in Charlotte, Children's Miracle Network raises more than $3 million annually and 100 percent of the proceeds benefits Levine Children's Hospital, Jeff Gordon Children's Hospital and related facilities in the Carolinas.
Look for our charity table set up in the Laurel Registration Area. You can drop off cards or other items from the hospital's donation wish list. We also have supplies set up for you to simply write a few words of encouragement in a collection of "get well" cards that will be delivered to children at the hospital next month.

DONBASS, Ukraine -- The Russian Federation plans to conduct military exercises in the occupied territories of Ukraine.
The command of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation is secretly boosting the training of the occupation forces in Donbass to conduct offensive operations, speaker of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine Dmitry Hutsuliak told a Kiev briefing Wednesday.
"According to the information of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, the command of the RF Armed Forces secretly increases the training of the occupying troops to conduct offensive operations. In particular, against a single operational background and according to a single plan with bilateral operational-strategic command and staff exercises of the troops of the Southern Military District. In the occupied territories, a command-staff training of the formations and units 1 and 2 of the Russian Armed Forces of the Russian Armed Forces was planned, "said Hutsuliak.
He also said that in the areas of advanced positions, individual units of the occupation forces' 1st and 2nd Army Groupings worked out elements of the transition to an offensive.
"During a practice session of one of the motorized rifle divisions on advancing to the front line, there was yet another case of the so-called "friendly fire," which resulted in the death of two Russian servicemen. In addition, during the training of the mortar unit of the invaders, their own forward strong point was shelled and a soldier was killed. The command of the Russian occupational forces traditionally takes active measures to conceal information about these cases," said the Ukrainian defense official.
As UNIAN reported, another serviceman of the Russian-led forces, Denis Bykov, was killed in Donbass on September 30.
Or how will it End?

Carrière militaire
Après ses études à l'Académie royale militaire de Sandhurst, la plus grande partie de la carrière militaire de Lord Ismay dans les forces armées britanniques qui débuta en 1905 s'est déroulée dans les colonies britanniques au sein de l'Armée de l'Inde en Inde britannique et au Somaliland.

Entre 1933 et 1940, il occupa diverses fonctions au War Office.

Pendant toute la durée de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, il fut l'intermédiaire permanent entre le Premier ministre Sir Winston Churchill et le commandement.

L'homme politique
En , il reçoit le titre de baron Ismay, de Wormington dans le comté de Gloucester.

Ministre du Commonwealth dans le cabinet conservateur en 1951, ses connaissances autant politiques que militaires firent de lui le premier secrétaire général de l'OTAN entre 1952 et 1957.

Citation

The power of thunderstorms fascinates me. Tree branches whip in the wind, rain pelts against the roof, hail clatters on the deck and the skylights. Thunder rolls and cracks, and I count seconds until the flash of white. When the lightning and thunder come on top of each other, I startle, shudder and look on in amazement, safe in my house. No matter what I'm supposed to be doing (including sleeping at night) I find myself drawn to the window to witness the spectacle.
On the other hand, when cottony fog muffles the outside world, cocooning me in my solitary day, I'm grateful that the only commute I have is the three paces to my computer. And when a soft, gentle rain waters the grass and flowers, the patter on the roof becomes white noise. These gray days make me glad to stay home and curl up. It should be the perfect time to write, but I'll often end up with a blanket over my legs and a favorite novel in my hands.
But I take my energy from sunshine – not the humid, dog-days of summer, but the crisp spring days now. I recently heard someone say her kids called her solar-powered, and that's me. I can bound out of bed after a good night's sleep and the promise of a sunny day energizes me, giving hope to actually accomplishing a good portion of my to-to list. Or I can wake up tired, growling at the world, and the sun on the trees cheers my soul. And when something goes wrong mid-day and frustrations set in, give me half an hour in a sunny chair by the flowers and I can cope with a smile.
No wonder people try to go solar in all possible ways. If you also consider installing solar at home, read these Top 5 Things You Need To Know About Running Your Home On Solar – Enlyten Energy. It might as well convince you to make the right decision.
On these glorious sunny days, I try to do my writing in a notebook outside – for as long as I manage to keep my brain going. I might pull a few weeds absentmindedly, letting my thoughts run, or take a long walk to get the body and mind moving again. I plant flowers and vegetables and take joy in watching them grow. I read outside and let the sun warm my skin and scalp, and a cool glass of water keeps me from overheating. And when I finally go in, I bustle with the energy I've been soaking up like a plant.
I can take joy in many different kind of weather (as long as the tornadoes stay far away, thank you), but the bright days of spring and early summer are my favorites. I'm solar-powered.

When it comes to looking at two similar cars you cannot beat a good showdown, and this is just what this Jaguar XFR-S vs. Mercedes E63 AMG visual review is. While it may seem like a dream job comparing the two vehicles, it is a tough task trying to choose which of the two is best.
In one corner we have the limited edition Jaguar XFR-S and on the other we have the Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG. While it is nice to see how well these two vehicles perform on a racetrack, which you get to see in the video above, you will also need to see the handling on some British B-roads.
Both vehicles were UK spec with both pushing out the same 542 horsepower, which is uncanny when you think about it. However, that is where the similarity ends, this is because the Mercedes seems to have the Jaguar beat.
The Mercedes is lighter and so has a faster 0-60 mph time and better overall performance. However, that is all well and good reading those specs, but it is often a different matter when you get behind the wheel of a car.
View the video above to see how each vehicle gets on, and to see which came out on top.

Premium-priced computer market dominated by Apple
Thursday, July 23, 2009, 09:15 am PT (12:15 pm ET)
Macs made up a whopping 91 percent of the $1,000 and up computer market in June, up significantly from early 2008 when Apple's premium market share was 66 percent, according to new data released this week.
As first reported at Betanews, the latest sales figures from NPD Market Research show Apple with the lion's share of premium computer sales, and the Mac maker's commanding share only continues to grow. In May, Mac sales made up 88 percent of computers priced four figures.
The average computer sells for $701, but separating Windows PCs from Macs shows a huge disparity. While the average Windows machine in June sold for $515, the average Apple machine came in at $1,400.
In this economy, it's clear that price matters —to an extent. This week, Apple reported a record third quarter, bolstered by new lower prices on its entire line of MacBooks. The company sold 2.6 million Macs during the quarter, ushering in its best-ever June quarter.
Apple sells only three products below $1,000: the 13-inch MacBook, and both versions of the Mac mini.
In June, Apple lowered the prices on its 15-inch and 17-inch MacBook Pros by $300. It also created the 13-inch MacBook Pro for $1,199 —a cost of $100 less than its non-Pro predecessor.
Even with its premium prices, Apple has managed to grow its market share of computers that cost $1,000 or more. This as Microsoft has taken aim at the company's prices, calling it the "Apple tax."
In terms of overall volume, Macs held an estimated 8.7 percent of the U.S. PC market through June. But according to research firm Gartner, Apple's share is growing, having grown 2.5 percent in the second quarter while the rest of the industry slid.

(2016) Critical review of destination marketing organization advertising measurement methods/models used in Latvia, no. 64.
The purpose of this Bachelor Thesis is to explore current practices in place and to suggest a model/methodology for advertising measurement in the context of Latvia as a marketed destination. The work was assessed utilising research obtained from tourism companies and employees of said companies/organisations in Latvia. Namely, author looks is there any main measurement models in place and the main perceptions by destination marketing organizations before launching advertisement. More importantly, author finds this study necessary for Latvian tourism development, as during literature analyse no prior review of the destination marketing field was identified in a search of the literature. Author also notes that the lack of interest in this industry is in part attributed to the fact that tourism destinations largely vary in terms of size and characteristics, which makes every destination unique. The methodology part consists of explanation and argument of why the qualitative case study approach was used, also analysing the possibilities of choosing other paths. That is continued with research design and in-depth semi-structured interviews with 6 biggest Latvian destination marketing organizations. Author examines three research questions, and results indicate that Latvian destination marketing organizations are very limited in their ability to provide financially supported advertisements. Key findings show that the lack of previous research and the lack of financial support from government and investors limit organizations in developing their own unique marketing strategies and measurement models/methodology. The outcomes of the analysis have given an increased understanding of destination marketing and measurement techniques amongst destination marketing companies, in general and within Latvia, by improving their understanding of tourist perceptions, preferences and needs. Furthermore, it is clear that the findings of this research can be used in the development of advertising efficiency. By determining the forceful channels and methods of advertising and eliminating the opposite - the ones that are rather a waste of resources, it is only self-explanatory that Latvia as a tourism destination would grow and prosper. Author at the end of this study was able to propose model by which destination marketing organizations could strengthen their current and future advertisement strategies.


Each handle comes with a LIFETIME coating guarantee!
The UAP DUO front door handle has a 243mm long backplate, and is aimed at the fabricator who wants to offer a high quality designed front door handle. The DUO front door handle has a tube shaped handle, which gives a very comfortable grip when operating.
– it allows fabricators to save money as they don't have to stock a variety of different handles.
Each DUO handle is made from 316 grade stainless steel, and is part of the UAP Nanocoast range. The Nanocoast range has been specifically designed for areas which are within a 25 mile radius of the coast, or within 5 miles of highly populated industrial areas. Each DUO front door handle has been salt spray tested to ASTM B117 for 2,000 hours, and comes with an industry first LIFETIME coating guarantee, as the products will not pit, rust or corrode no matter what environments you put them in!
The DUO front door handle has a lever that is curved to the door, which makes it compliant to DDA (Disability Discrimination Act) regulations, making it ideal for building facilities that are accessible to disabled people. As the DUO handle is not BSI Kitemarked, we recommend to fit the UAP Kinetica 3* Kitemarked Euro Cylinder with it in order to achieve a 3* Kitemark status for PAS 24 doors.
