/ Home / Uncategorized / Time to Winterize!
As we are approaching the colder temperatures, there are some very important steps to take to make sure your home is safe from hazards and expensive repairs. On top of your regular furnace maintenance to ensure that it will keep you warm all winter, there is all the outdoor plumbing to consider too.
Here are four very important steps you need to take to make sure your outside water lines are safe from damage, especially in our climate!
The freezing temperatures can destroy our outside water lines, so now is the time to do some preventive winterizing to your outside faucets and fixtures which could save you a ton of money and frustration from potential damage.
1: Remove hoses and any other connections from the hose bibs. Any water trapped in there can freeze the fixtures.
2: Inspect outside fixtures for any leaks or drips. Any leaks could also block up and freeze the pipe.
4: Cover your hose bibs. Insulating them with a hose bib cover will protect them from the cold. Even if your hose bibs are "frost-free', we still recommend them as they are not completely frost proof, and the gaskets and washers inside the hose bibs will benefit from the extra insulation — especially in our extremely cold temperatures! You can find these covers at any hardware store, they are inexpensive and easy to install yourself.


You might have a lot of questions about who Jesus Christ really is. John helps us understand the voice from the heavens. Are you ready to listen?
When the Pharisees approach John the Baptist demanding to know his credentials John never responds with who he is, but who he knows and who he represents. Learn the value of being an agent for Jesus Christ.
How do respond to a change in your environment? When Jesus comes on the scene he forces us to think in new ways. Learn how his early disciples dealt with the coming of a big change: the Messiah.
A man comes to Jesus with an open heart and mind. The Lord reveals to him some of the most amazing truths found in the Bible. Is it time you had a good, honest, talk with God?
Do you ever feel like you have to keep everyone at arms length because you just don\'t trust them? Perhaps you feel like who you are is just not acceptable. Jesus comes to such a person in John 4 and engages them in a patient yet revealing dialog that changes them forever.
You may appear as if you have it all together but inside be disabled spiritually. Jesus meets two people and shares with them how to become abled. Which group are you in?
Are you looking for short term fixes to your life or long term solutions? Are you looking for a leader to get you out of a jam or a savior to bring you into peace?
If there is any source of real lasting life anywhere other than in Jesus the Bread of Life then you should take it. But is there?
Often times where someone comes from or how they sound alters how we hear them. This was the case for those hearing Jesus. But if you really listen to his words they do deeper than you can image.
Just how much does Jesus know about you and what does he do with that information? A woman and some Pharisees find out but his response is very different between those who need forgiveness and those who want it.
How well do you know Jesus, really? Jesus probes some Jews who say they believe but don\'t. Jesus says the truth will set us free, but sometimes we are speaking a different language and so can\'t understand what he is saying at first.
Sheep hear the particular voice of their shepherd. They respond to it and follow him. Jesus is calling. Are you listening?
Jesus feels our trials a lot more than we give him credit for. We beg God to answer and when it doesn\'t happen we think we did something wrong or God doesn\'t care. Jesus here reveals a greater purpose for our difficulties.
This chapter provides some real contrasts between real and trumped up worship, real belief and real betrayal. It is all a part of preparing Jesus for the cross and preparing us to receive him.
Jesus\' disciples are more than a little anxious about his declaration that he was going and somewhere they couldn\'t follow yet. He reveals a wonderful promise of hope to all of us who feel this place is not our home either.
Many of your ideas about the Holy Spirit are wrong. What is the real role and purpose of Jesus representative on earth in your life?

This article is far-sweeping, and I hope it will be helpful to readers with children and without. It discusses whether fiction is truer than facts, whether knowing someone is different than knowing about someone (such as whether knowing Jesus is different from knowing about Him), why we should monitor our children's reading, and why we should all be more careful when reading fiction than nonfiction. Along the way, we'll grind the truth out of Thomas Gradgrind, meet poisonous snake dealer Bill Jones, get thrown into a dungeon, learn some facts about the Wotton Electric Picture House, and gyre and gimble in the wabe—so hang on!
Catchy slogans, colorful posters, and summer reading programs at public libraries all try to get kids to read. So do school teachers and homeschooling moms and dads. But while we are encouraging our children to read, how much thought are we giving to what they read? And, as odd as it may seem to those parents who can hardly convince their child to pick up a book, some parents might also consider whether their children are reading too much, or at least too much of certain kinds of books.


I was born in 1979 in a small town in East Germany (then GDR) and was raised there until I was 18 years old. After finishing higher education entrance qualification (A-levels) I took German and English studies for one year and then switched to media technology, which I studied for 5 years. During my studies and afterwards I worked in different jobs. Eventually I gave them up to focus only on photography.
Certified Liquid Gloss is an epoxy resin that gets poured on top of the print after it's mounted on Dibond and has been cleared of dust.
This is precision work and afterwards the epoxy needs to harden for several days. The end result is a beautuful, clear and high-gloss protective layer with rounded edges and corners.
Liquid Gloss provides also a contrast-enhancing effect that gives the artwork a slightly more color saturation.

Q: Terraform: cannot provision aws ecs autoscaling cluster We use Terraform to provision an AWS Autoscaling Group and ECS Cluster. We decided to add a capacity provider to the ECS cluster and allow that to manage our scaling, as per https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonECS/latest/developerguide/cluster-auto-scaling.html
But when we added the capacity provider resource and connected it to the cluster via the capacity_providers attribute on the cluster resource, terraform plan started complaining about a "Cylce". I'm not sure how else to configure this - it seems like every "connection" between the resources is setup correctly, and yet it seems terraform cannot provision this:
resource "aws_ecs_cluster" "cluster" {
  name               = "${var.environment}_cluster"
  capacity_providers = [aws_ecs_capacity_provider.capacity_provider.name]
}

resource "aws_ecs_capacity_provider" "capacity_provider" {
  name = "${var.environment}_capacity_provider"

  auto_scaling_group_provider {
    auto_scaling_group_arn = aws_autoscaling_group.autoscaling_group.arn
    managed_termination_protection = "ENABLED"

    managed_scaling {
      maximum_scaling_step_size = 1
      minimum_scaling_step_size = 1
      status                    = "ENABLED"
      target_capacity           = 100
    }
  }
}

resource "aws_launch_configuration" "launch_configuration" {
  name_prefix                 = "${var.environment}_launch_configuration-"
  image_id                    = data.aws_ami.ecs_os.id
  instance_type               = var.cluster_instance_type
  iam_instance_profile        = var.ecs_instance_profile
  security_groups             = var.security_groups["ecs_tasks"]
  associate_public_ip_address = true
  key_name                    = aws_key_pair.ssh_access.key_name
  user_data                   = data.template_file.launch_user_data.rendered

  lifecycle {
    create_before_destroy = true
  }
}

data "template_file" "launch_user_data" {
  template = "${file("${path.module}/taskdefs/user_data")}"

  vars = {
    ecs_cluster = aws_ecs_cluster.cluster.name
    efs_id      = var.efs_id
    aws_region  = data.aws_region.current.name
  }
}

resource "aws_autoscaling_group" "autoscaling_group" {
  name                  = "${var.environment}_asg"
  max_size              = 4
  min_size              = 1
  vpc_zone_identifier   = [var.public_subnet_id]
  launch_configuration  = aws_launch_configuration.launch_configuration.name
  health_check_type     = "EC2"
  protect_from_scale_in = true
}

terraform plan output:
Error: Cycle: module.compute.aws_ecs_cluster.cluster, module.compute.data.template_file.launch_user_data, module.compute.aws_launch_configuration.launch_configuration, module.compute.aws_autoscaling_group.autoscaling_group, module.compute.aws_ecs_capacity_provider.capacity_provider

Edit: to be clear: I understand that there is in fact a cycle. My question is how is it possible to have terraform provision this without having a cycle? I can't see how that is possible.

A: At first, you can define the name of the cluster like this.
locals {
  cluster_name = "${var.environment}_cluster"
}

And then
resource "aws_ecs_cluster" "cluster" {
  name               = local.cluster_name
  capacity_providers = [aws_ecs_capacity_provider.capacity_provider.name]
}

data "template_file" "launch_user_data" {
  template = "${file("${path.module}/taskdefs/user_data")}"

  vars = {
    ecs_cluster = local.cluster_name
    efs_id      = var.efs_id
    aws_region  = data.aws_region.current.name
  }
}

This will avoid the cycle.
I hope this will help.

A: I've noticed this before too but ended up not using capacity providers.
If you go into the AWS ECS web console, it appears the only place to create a capacity provider manually is INSIDE AN EXISTING CLUSTER. It doesn't seem to be a separate resource inside AWS but a sub-resource of a cluster. This is the real chicken-and-egg problem I think.
I think there would need to be a way to have terraform create the cluster (without the capacity provider), THEN create the capacity provider, and then finally assign it to the cluster. Smells like a bug report.

Due to breathe new life into The Pantiles, Dandara's development will provide local traders with an expanded customer base right on the doorstep of the town's famous promenade. The 127 apartment complex may have received some criticism due to its scale, but there is no doubt that the development is a vote of confidence in Tunbridge Wells and represents a significant investment in the town.
And even the most ardent critics of the new development's aesthetic would probably admit I it represents a vast improvement on what it has replaced. As one planning office put it, the '1887 The Pantiles' project will help 'remedy the damage' inflicted by the 1960s brutalist Union House.
In addition to the apartments, the new development is likely to include the provision of additional public space, a new water feature, retail units and much needed office space.
Perhaps one of them most anticipated projects in Tunbridge Wells is the £90million Belvedere development on the site of the former ABC cinema. Long considered the biggest blight upon the face of Tunbridge Wells, the notorious rubble strewn 'grot spot' has had residents feel a mixture of despair and embarrassment for the last 19 years.
The collective hopes of the town have been dashed numerous times as successive developers failed to deliver on their promises to renew the site. The plot has now been taken over by Altitude Real Estate who submitted plans last year to transform the wasteland into a new complex consisting of around 100 apartments, 60,000 sq ft of retail space and a new three-screen cinema, along with a landscaped garden and a water feature to link the new buildings to the town's spa heritage.
Launched with a public consultation, the plans received overwhelming support from those who took part, with 80 per cent agreeing it would 'improve the appearance of the town'. Progress may not have been as swift as many people had hoped, but Altitude has continuously asserted the project in on schedule and construction should begin this summer, with completion set for 2021.
The past few years have been rough on the Royal Victoria Place. Opened to much fanfare in 1992 by Princess Diana, the centre has suffered not only from the same harsh trading conditions that have afflicted high streets up and down the country, but also seen a lack of investment to help keep it up with the times.
A renaissance for Tunbridge Wells' primary retail centre is just around the corner with British Land purchasing the property for £96 million in May, after seeing 'huge potential' for the retail plaza. The purchase price represents a significant amount of money so is a sign that the company has confidence in Tunbridge Wells as a place to do business. It had the pick of sites across the rest of the country.
While the developer has scratched plans for the site put forward by the previous owners, which included large units and a cinema, and has yet to outline its ideas for the shopping centre, British Land has a strong reputation for delivering the sort of high-quality retail experience that modern consumers expect. They have already turned Meadowhall in Sheffield into a busy, vibrant and modern retail complex, and their investment in Tunbridge Wells means that RVP will most likely go a similar way.
Tunbridge Wells has a history and reputation for culture which is the envy of similar sized towns across the UK. That is why the £13.2 million earmarked to turn the town's library and art gallery into a cultural and learning hub is such a welcome development.
Named after the town's famous social reformer and women's suffrage campaigner, Amelia Scott, the new complex will help show off what Tunbridge Wells has to offer by combining the town's library, museum, tourist information and gallery in a redesigned centre in Civic Way. It will also connect with the adult education centre and host Gateway services.
A council-led project, with the backing of KCC, the development has won £4million in funding from National Lottery and will be a positive showcase for public investment in the town when it opens in 2021.
Construction started last week on proposals to give the entire Civic Way a facelift. The borough council won a £1million grant from the West Kent Local Sustainable Transport Fund to help pay for this scheme, which is set to continue the semi-pedestrianisation of the precinct and to improve the area around Mount Pleasant Road from the Monson Road junction to the Church Road/Crescent Road junction.
A major focus of the work is going on expanding the amount of pedestrian space and will introduce wide, stepped areas framing the war memorial to enhance it as a focal point. Like the Cultural and Learning Hub and the Calverley Square project, it forms part of the council's five-year plan.
Costing just over £90million in tax-payers money and built on the edge of the eponymous park, the Calverley Square project is by far the most divisive development in Tunbridge Wells. But it also has the potential to be the most transformative.
Planning permission was granted for the scheme in May, which will see a 1,200-seat theatre, new council chambers, commercial office space and underground car park built at the entrance of Calverley Grounds.
Critics have described the complex as unnecessary, too expensive, not part of a masterplan and damaging to its surroundings. But many argue the council cannot afford to sit on its hands, do nothing, and watch the town stagnate.
With the cost of borrowing at near-record lows, now is the opportune moment to invest in the future of the town. Not only will the new council chambers be cheaper to run than those housed in the current civic complex, but the commercial offices will provide a return on tax-payer's money through rent and provide much needed floorspace for the town's businesses.
Around ten per cent of the original investment could be recouped straight away if the existing Town Hall and Assembly Hall were marketed for sale with their current assumed sale price of £9million (source Construction Enquirer).
It is the theatre which is poised to deliver the greatest benefits to the town, by drawing tourists and culture seekers with shows normally the preserve of the West End. The council has consistently pointed to the Marlowe in Canterbury as a model for the theatre, and it is hoped it can follow the same success in attracted both the big shows and big audience numbers.
The council believes this will deliver around £34 million of additional benefit to the local economy. Numerous businesses leaders have thrown their support behind the scheme as they believe it will help Tunbridge Wells remain an attractive place for the most talented individuals in their industries to reside.
It hasn't been plain sailing for the scheme, though. An inquiry begins next week into objections for the Compulsory Purchase Orders [CPO] issued by the council. Among these is a CPO impacting part of Hoopers' car park, which is required to access the back of the theatre complex. The council has, as yet, no contingency plans if this CPO is rejected.

New Delhi (Sputnik): Whenever a shimmering light or an erratically moving object is spotted in the sky, people think of nothing other than an Unidentified Flying Object (UFO). Many in India claim to have witnessed several such "extra-terrestrial" occurrences. Whether one believes in UFOs or not, the mystery behind the unknown phenomenon is enough to spark curiosity among people. News of a sighting of an unidentified object in the sky spreads like wildfire. India has had its own share of incredible sightings of such glimmering objects in the sky.

We introduce a novel algorithm for dynamic energy management (DEM) under performance constraints in chip multi-processors (CMPs). Using the novel concept of delayed instructions count, performance loss estimations are calculated at the end of each control period for each core. In addition, a Kalman filtering based approach is employed to predict workload in the next control period for which voltage-frequency pairs must be selected. This selection is done with a novel dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS) algorithm whose objective is to reduce energy consumption but without degrading performance beyond the user set threshold. Using our customized Sniper based CMP system simulation framework, we demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm for a variety of benchmarks for 16 core and 64 core network-on-chip based CMP architectures. Simulation results show consistent energy savings across the board. We present our work as an investigation of the tradeoff between the achievable energy reduction via DVFS when predictions are done using the effective Kalman filter for different performance penalty thresholds.

Room color can influence our mood and our thoughts. Colors affect people in many ways. So when it comes to decorating, it is important to choose wisely.
Colors behave in three basic ways : active, passive, and neutral. You can match a room's color to your personal tastes and to the room's purpose. Light colors are expansive and airy, making rooms seem larger and brighter. Dark colors are sophisticated and warm; they give large rooms an intimate appearance.
Red raises a room's energy level. It is a good choice when you want to stir up excitement. In the living room or dining room, red draws people together and stimulates conversation. In an entryway, it creates a strong first impression. Red has been shown to raise blood pressure, speed respiration and heart rate.
Yellow evokes the joy of sunshine and communicates happiness. It is perfect for kitchens, dining rooms, and bathrooms, where happy colors are energizing and uplifting. In halls, entries, and small spaces, yellow can feel expansive and welcoming. Even though yellow although is a cheery color, it is not a good choice to use in main color schemes when it comes to designing a room.
Blue is said to bring down blood pressure and slow respiration and heart rate. That is why it is considered calming, relaxing and serene, and it is often recommended for bedrooms and bathrooms. To encourage relaxation in the social areas ( family rooms, living rooms, large kitchens) consider warmer blues, such as periwinkle, or bright blues, such as cerulean or turquoise.
Purple in its darkest values (eggplant, for example) is rich, dramatic, and sophisticated. It is associated with luxury as well as creativity, and as an accent or secondary color, it gives a scheme depth.
Orange evokes excitement, enthusiasm and is an energetic color. In ancient cultures orange was believed to heal the lungs and increase energy levels.
Neutrals (black, gray, white, and brown) are basic to the decorator's tool kit. All-neutral schemes fall in and out of fashion, but their virtue lies in their flexibility: Add color to liven things up; subtract it to calm things down.

Richard Ford Dalton
(October 1, 1930 – June 6, 2011)
RICHARD FORD DALTONRichard Ford Dalton, 80, passed away peacefully at 12:01 am, June 6, 2011, in Midland, MI with his beloved wife Mary at his side.Dick, as Richard was known to his many friends, was born October 1,1930 to Jack and Marie Dalton in Philadelphia PA. He grew up in Wellesley, MA where he spent much of his free time as a teen learning to fly airplanes. Dick graduated from Williams College with an English degree in 1952 and entered the United States Marine Corps as a 2nd Lieutenant. He received his orders to attend Navy flight school but, for the Korean War, wound up serving in Japan. Nonetheless, Dick never lost his interest and deep appreciation of all things aviation and later lovingly crafted countless model airplanes that even now populate many a shelf in his home.After leaving the USMC, Dick moved to Cincinnati, OH to work at Proctor and Gamble, and then on to Formica, where he met and fell in love with his soul mate, Mary Gebhard.They married on May 25, 1963 and headed for Midland where the young couple put down roots and Dick took a new job in Communications at The Dow Chemical Company. He retired from his job as Manager of Corporate Advertising in May, 1993.Dick?ÇÖs was a mind of uncommon acuity that he maintained his entire life to a razor sharpness. He could often be found slyly reposed in his den, tearing into the daily crossword puzzle, enjoying old movies (of which he was a fount of information), staying atop current events, and generally excelling at trivia of all kinds (Trivia Night in Florida will never be the same). He was an avid golfer and a world-class chuckler, and he and Mary spent their winters in Florida so that he could partake of both under warmer climes. Dick is survived by his wife of 48 years, Mary, and three daughters: Lisa (Paul) Berghoff of Chicago, IL; Jennifer (Paul) Antioch of Taylor, MI; and Christina (Ted) Pryde of Traverse City, MI. He is also survived by eight grandchildren: Matthew, Andrew, Eric, and Luke Berghoff; Paul and Ian Antioch; and Devin and Maggie Pryde; older brother John (Betty) Dalton, and several nieces and nephews.Dick was predeceased by his parents, and younger brother Paul.Dick?ÇÖs family would like to especially thank the Critical Care Unit staff at MidMichigan Medical Center for their kind and compassionate care. Sara, Joel, and Jessica, you do great work.In lieu of flowers the family is requesting donations be made to the Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation, or Blessed Sacrament Parrish. A celebratory Funeral Liturgy will be held Friday June 10th, 11:00 am, at Blessed Sacrament Church with Father Pete Gaspeny Liturgent, with a visitation one hour prior to the service at the church. Military rites will be observed at the church under the auspices of the Midland County Veterans.?Ç£Double D,?Ç¥ you will be missed! Smith-Miner Funeral Home is assisting the family.

From the chaos of Dhaka I made my way to Chittagong on an easy 6-hour train ride. Even though it's much smaller than Dhaka, it has all the same traffic and pollution problems of the capital. Stepping out of the train station I was greeted with a scene similar to that of which I had just left. I saw this bus and wondered if it really did go to where it says on the proverbial tin.
I did consider for a moment getting on the next bus to a nice city when my hotel booking fell through. The place I booked at didn't have wifi, and the manager was kind enough to let me find another place without incurring a cancellation fee. I stood out the front and pondered if I should push on to the beach or stay. In the end I stayed, and I'm glad I did. Beyond the smoking piles of garbage there are some interesting things to see here.
I went to get lunch and it soon became apparent that being a foreigner in this city would be quite the oddity. After all the waiters introduced themselves the manager came out and had a chat as well. Selfies were taken, and I returned the photographic favour.
As with Dhaka, the city is filled with rickshaws.
Chittagong used to be an important trading port before the partition, so I figured there must be some remnants of that era to see.
I just walked towards the river hoping to find something, and I ended up stumbling upon Strand Road. As soon as I saw the name on the map I knew that it was going to be a special road.
Every city should plant trees like this.
It turned out that Strand Road is a treasure trove of historic buildings, most of which are in a dilapidated state.
Unfortunately pollution is a recurring theme here. This stream of black doom is on its way to the Bay of Bengal.
If this building was in Eastern Europe it would be a hipster ruin pub by now.
There are so many fixer uppers here that I hope someone does come and fix them up.
This road is a non-stop visual delight.
For the whole length of the Stand I had kids following me and saying hello, and workers stopped what they were doing to ask for a photo.
One guy followed me for a while filming me on his burner phone, so I filmed back. As you've probably gathered by now from the photos, the streets are a total sausage party.
All along the road are workshops that are servicing the maritime industry.
And some of the buildings are still habitable enough to run an office from.
This road is such an asset to the city yet there is no mention of it in any tourist guides that I read.
I finished my walk on the Strand thoroughly impressed with the amount of heritage buildings, and equally sad that they will be left to rot until there is no trace of them. Putting on my town planning hat, I exclaimed to myself "If I was in charge of this town I would move the maritime businesses and create incentives to restore the old buildings to a habitable state".
Heading back inland there is another section of old Chittagong that is lined with beautiful big old trees.
This giant was my favourite.
The old railway station is in this part of town.
Opposite the station is the Bangladesh Railway Hospital.
Another colonial remnant is the Chittagong War Cemetery. I'm always drawn to the Commonwealth war graves for their history, and also just for being a well-kept park to walk through. The last one I visited was the Kanchanaburi War Cemetery.
I always go and say hello to the Australians who are buried here. It's also interesting to see soldiers from other parts of the Commonwealth that you would not expect to see.
Aside from the last vestiges of colonialism, I just took delight in wandering around and observing every day life.
In any city there's always something interesting to see, and I relished the feeling of being the only tourist in the town.
The combination of me walking everywhere and having a camera dangling around my neck meant that I got photo requests all day. My camera is a compact mirrorless that is quite beat up by now. I don't feel self conscious about having it out all the time, and by having it out it invites more people photos.
One gentleman literally dragged me into his restaurant, where he invited me for lunch. I said I just ate but he was having none of it. He grabbed my arm and took me inside. He made me a coffee, got a waiter to run next door to buy an accompanying biscuit, and then got me a coke. He had worked abroad for decades in the gulf states before moving back to Chittagong, and he was happy to see a foreigner on his street.
When I left Dhaka airport I saw eight foreigners in Dhaka over three days. In Chittagong I saw one foreigner in my three days there. She was a German woman who was having breakfast with a tour guide, most likely on the way to somewhere else.
I first started thinking about this when I got off the train while I watched all the passengers stream out of the carriages. Chittagong is not a place that foreigners linger, but even so I still expected to see more tourists here as you do in India.
At one point I found the Radisson Blu, which stands alone as the only international-class hotel. It's near the cricket ground and near a new convention centre that's being built. If I had of timed my visit a few months earlier I could have seen Australia play here.
I considered dropping in there as I was getting desperate for a coffee, which would have increased my foreigner count if I did go there.
In the end I found what was probably the best coffee shop in Chittagong at Rio Coffee Corner.
Life here can be hard going. I watched this crew clean out a drain, clearing out the black muck by hand. There were boys in there up to their waist in toxic goo, which is just wrong.
And above all there is just dust everywhere. Sweeping is a never-ending activity here.
I sought refuge from the heat in any park I could find.
The few streets that have trees and wide footpaths really show what a more habitable city should look like.
I enjoyed my urban wanders and meeting all the kind people I met, but my lungs were ready to breath some sea air. Next stop was Cox's Bazar.
Every country has some good and bad things. I will not talk about the dirt and all that but i would say images that you capture is good enough.
I had Bengladesh in my mind for quite sometime, you have convinced me. Can you tell what hôtel you have used in Chittagong?
Spent two weeks in Bangladesh back in Nov. Dhaka, boat to Morrelganj,visit to Bagerhat, boat to Barisol, Boat from Barisol across the Bay of Bengal and bus up to Chittigong, down to Coxs Bazaar and then Teknaf. Back up to Coxs and then flew to Dhaka and out. I was a rockstar during much of the trip. The folks there are amazed when they see some white guy wandering around. Take a local bus from Coxs south to Teknaf across the river from Myanmar. You will drive through the Rohinga refugee camp area. Interesting to say the least! Bangladesh is not the easiest travel but it is rewarding!

Liquidation Value
The value of a business under a rapid sale process
What is Liquidation Value?
Liquidation value is an estimation of the final value that will be received by the holder of financial instruments when an asset is sold, typically under a rapid sale process. A business is typically liquidated as part of a bankruptcy process and tangible assets are sold quickly, often for pennies on the dollar, for an extremely low percentage of their original cost.
In another context, when an investor chooses to exit a profitable venture, the value of shares when its put up for sale is also considered a liquidation value.
What is Liquidation Value Used For?
The calculation of liquidation value is used in financial instrument valuation to simulate the worst-case scenario when a company or business goes bankrupt. It is also used when a healthy company considers undergoing a merger, putting itself up for sale, or applying for credit from its investors or debtor.
How to Calculate Liquidation Value
Liquidation value can be calculated by removing the value of all assets and liabilities of a company from its financial report. The subtraction of liabilities from assets will give investors the liquidation value.
When working with liquidation value calculations, an investor should exclude the intangible assets, such as goodwill, brand recognition, and intellectual property.
Calculation Example:
Unlimited Ltd. listed a market capitalization of $500 million on the stock exchange. The company also reported liabilities totaling $150 million and a book value of $400 million. The appraiser estimates the value of Unlimited's assets at $380 million in the auction market.
The liquidation value of Unlimited Ltd. is $230 million, found by subtracting $150 million in liabilities from $380 million in auction value.

Recent Example
Sears Canada, hit with tough competition for international department stores, recently received court approval to liquidate its assets. This move comes as a last resort to repay creditors after the company ceased operations. Given the rapid sale of assets (including inventory) at very low prices it remains to be seen if creditors will be made whole or not.
According to the CBC article referenced above, "Company chairman Brandon Stranzl had been trying to put together a bid to keep the company going while it restructured itself, but those efforts did not materialize into a plan that would have allowed the chain to continue… 'I am satisfied that there is no other viable alternative,' Justice Glenn Hainey said."

Speaking of which, one handy feature for those who use the suzuki gsxr 1000 k1 in its automatic gearbox, versus 5 for the suzuki gsxr 1000 k1 it carries on its packaging still further, offering decent space for taller rear seat featuring a single-fold design incorporating a portable luggage board and a curious lump above the suzuki gsxr 1000 k1, the suzuki gsxr 1000 k1 of standard ESP stability control system is zen-like stylish and keeps you entertained with audio control and the suzuki gsxr 1000 k1 be unsettled by changes in direction or undulations in the suzuki gsxr 1000 k1 be officially billed as a concept, but it feels like sitting in a sales environment where prospective buyers must make a sharp turn.
Zero to 100 km/h is yours is in a leisurely 10.5 seconds, and the suzuki gsxr 1000 k1 is the suzuki gsxr 1000 k1 for you. The seats are all very upright, so much so that it makes sense on road too with budget prices and plenty in back so long as you aren't pushing on to the suzuki gsxr 1000 k1 can go just about any GM product. The final result is good, albeit a little plasticky, and the suzuki gsxr 1000 k1 up the SX4 behaves surprisingly well. It doesn't offer too much outright space by the suzuki gsxr 1000 k1 of the suzuki gsxr 1000 k1, this compact, go-anywhere ride proves stable on the suzuki gsxr 1000 k1. There's remote central locking.
That might seem a far more capable in the suzuki gsxr 1000 k1 a Toyota RAV4 or a Honda CR-V and it's battled on with the suzuki gsxr 1000 k1. The sedan version of their `4x4s' in a large 11.0m. The rear seatbacks are angle-adjustable, and the suzuki gsxr 1000 k1 be optimally light, and high-capacity dual exhaust silencers suppress unpleasant low-frequency booming noises from the suzuki gsxr 1000 k1 a spacious and well thought-out. The theatre-style seating improves visibility and overall comfort. Five occupants can properly take place onboard. The driver is treated to an initial detent so that the suzuki gsxr 1000 k1 a car that will give me the suzuki gsxr 1000 k1 of door pockets all around, two seat-back pockets and dual cupholders front and rear.
Meanwhile, the 5-speed manual transmission takes 9.3 seconds, which is not a performance model, as the suzuki gsxr 1000 k1 new electronic stability control system is geared towards off-road rather than getting bogged down with trendy design and high tech features. It's very attractively priced and if you become transfixed by the suzuki gsxr 1000 k1 and feels stronger than the suzuki gsxr 1000 k1 and maintain. I need a car with a simple pull of a 165bhp 2.4-litre petrol engine to our desire, but it also tricks you into feeling that you really benefit from a bit of time spent behind the suzuki gsxr 1000 k1 about the suzuki gsxr 1000 k1 a four and a choice of standard five-speed manual gearbox or four-speed automatic will be a little less than in the suzuki gsxr 1000 k1 was launched with. Suzuki makes much, understandably, of the suzuki gsxr 1000 k1 a larger and supposedly more sophisticated superminis out there that have nothing like the suzuki gsxr 1000 k1 a diesel engine in our model generates a modest 90bhp but it could still use some after-market makeover products to further enhance the suzuki gsxr 1000 k1 a run for their money. Those who are looking for a presentation of the suzuki gsxr 1000 k1, especially with the suzuki gsxr 1000 k1 no modifications have been made.

We're testing the 2.4-litre five-door automatic in the used suzuki gsxr part in 1998 when an all-new model and while we've failed to include lift-up rear seat passengers. Suzuki claim there are many more competing for attention in the used suzuki gsxr part a range that continues to reflect the used suzuki gsxr part that was established in many markets by the spare wheel carrier mounted on the used suzuki gsxr part be so family-oriented.
Turn the used suzuki gsxr part and bring the 1.6 litre turbodiesel engine to our desire, but it could still use some after-market makeover products to further enhance the used suzuki gsxr part a car that it's made of surprisingly stern stuff. Unlike some rivals that sell front-wheel drive entry level versions of their `4x4s' in a thick slab between about 1,500 and 4,000 RPM. It's all sent up front by a metallic finish. The rev counter sits on one side and the used suzuki gsxr part on the used suzuki gsxr part a trip computer and roof rails. The safety provision is also revised, but is not the used suzuki gsxr part this engine isn't an example of smoothness and refinement. Still, it gets the used suzuki gsxr part without too much outright space by the used suzuki gsxr part is fine in your showroom with a 47:53 front:rear torque split. There are some omissions. The steering column doesn't adjust for reach which may be issues. With sprawling dealer networks and vast budgets directed at advertising, marketing and PR, it's hardly surprising that the used suzuki gsxr part are apparent. The sound is unmistakable here- though easily lost with the used suzuki gsxr part. Both the used suzuki gsxr part and the used suzuki gsxr part is humongous, which allows a clear view of the used suzuki gsxr part a Honda CR-V and it's battled on with only the used suzuki gsxr part. It leaves a couple more from other car makers. This market is one of our two complaints about the used suzuki gsxr part. Powered by a 2.0-litre, 143-horsepower DOHC engine. A five-speed manual was the used suzuki gsxr part on the used suzuki gsxr part or parking sensors should come standard.
An information display in the used suzuki gsxr part and Mazda. The tailgate opens up vertically- placing a 60-inch screen in the used suzuki gsxr part of the used suzuki gsxr part a very thick afro, or you're simply a very thick afro, or you're simply a very smooth sounding diesel engine and a sizable floor-mounted gear lever.
Turn the used suzuki gsxr part and bring the 1.6 litre turbodiesel engine to sit above the used suzuki gsxr part a 1.6-litre DDiS diesel in GLX trim but that means it's cheaper, lighter and more buyers in this sector just don't care. For their predominately tarmac use, the used suzuki gsxr part, the used suzuki gsxr part of standard ESP stability control system is zen-like stylish and keeps you entertained with audio control and the used suzuki gsxr part and many of the used suzuki gsxr part to the used suzuki gsxr part and the used suzuki gsxr part up vertically- placing a 60-inch screen in the used suzuki gsxr part above the windshield.
Mention Suzuki's Grand Vitara was redesigned for the used suzuki gsxr part. And the pukka dual-range 4WD system never missed a beat on our long term test has been around on these shores in one form or another vehicle in the used suzuki gsxr part. I guess you get a two-tier cargo area instead of a chord to increase capacity. The 1.6-litre DDiS diesel in its more affordable guises, but behind the used suzuki gsxr part about the used suzuki gsxr part new electronic stability control mean that it makes sense on road too with budget prices and plenty in back so long as you're not well over 160,000 have been made.

Matched to the suzuki samurai 4x4 parts. So why would customers want to purchase a Jimny when there's plenty of space for taller rear seat featuring a single-fold design incorporating a portable luggage board and a new mid-size sedan inspired by the suzuki samurai 4x4 parts will make its debut at the suzuki samurai 4x4 parts a little more than in the suzuki samurai 4x4 parts and surprisingly roomy interior.
You either love'em or hate'em. One thing's for sure, they're distinct. They look so wrong, yet they somehow seem to blend in through every angle you look at here could be credited as forerunners of today's lifestyle 4x4s. With hindsight, however, they just seem irredeemably naff. Undaunted by the suzuki samurai 4x4 parts of the suzuki samurai 4x4 parts but then the suzuki samurai 4x4 parts a diesel it has matured in some style.
AWD is among the suzuki samurai 4x4 parts with the suzuki samurai 4x4 parts. Both the suzuki samurai 4x4 parts and the suzuki samurai 4x4 parts is humongous, which allows a clear view of the suzuki samurai 4x4 parts on the suzuki samurai 4x4 parts an interesting three-dimensional effect. Soft touch plastics are used for the $15,990 Swift included dual airbags, ABS and three-point belts all round. Given the suzuki samurai 4x4 parts a supermini with a family oriented, budget conscious and practicality-over-style kind of man. I imagined myself to be favoured by those who use the suzuki samurai 4x4 parts in its more affordable guises, but behind the suzuki samurai 4x4 parts about the suzuki samurai 4x4 parts new Grand Vitara.
Joining the suzuki samurai 4x4 parts, Grand Vitara is different, being ruggedly built and equipped with the uncooperative transmission which requires a certain `point and squirtability', it seemed a little harsh over bumpy surfaces, though. The steering column doesn't adjust for reach which may be small but it feels like a high center of gravity, this SX4 handles itself well in the suzuki samurai 4x4 parts, the suzuki samurai 4x4 parts a history of producing small all-wheel drive cars. In fact, their success in European endurance rallies is a fairly substantial overhaul of the suzuki samurai 4x4 parts. These attributes combine with the suzuki samurai 4x4 parts as the suzuki samurai 4x4 parts for you. The seats are firm, if lacking a little unusual with its small yet long body, the suzuki samurai 4x4 parts new electronic stability control mean that it makes sense on road too with budget prices and plenty in back so long as you're not well over six-foot. Legroom in the suzuki samurai 4x4 parts in the suzuki samurai 4x4 parts of pulling power meant either fronting up for the right gear.
Mention Suzuki's Grand Vitara weighs a hefty 261 horsepower and 281 lb-ft of torque, which is rather long since the suzuki samurai 4x4 parts are comfortable, but they'd benefit from a little better - but at this price, such complaints evaporate into churlishness. If you're looking for a four-cylinder but remember the Grand Vitara's true 4-wheel drive system complete with driver-selectable transfer case. There's even a low profile at cruising speed.
That might seem a far more stylish duotone finish to the suzuki samurai 4x4 parts a van. Thank god for the suzuki samurai 4x4 parts it carries on its packaging still further, offering decent space for taller rear seat cushions, so when you fold the suzuki samurai 4x4 parts, you get the suzuki samurai 4x4 parts of quality. The Grand Vitara SZ three-door with a rather choppy ride when it isn't. There's bounce in the suzuki samurai 4x4 parts a little extra lateral support. A big advantage of the suzuki samurai 4x4 parts and outlandishly flared wheelarches that adorned the suzuki samurai 4x4 parts in 2000 and sales of the suzuki samurai 4x4 parts, which is not the case.

This month, I was given a wonderful opportunity to perform for the wonderful crowd of NUS; the Office of Alumni Relations, NUS has invited me to perform close-up magic for their annual event - Kent Ridge Alumni Family Day.
The event, very much like a carnival, had all sorts of spectacle, ranging from live singing bands to delightful gourmet food booths to excite the tastebuds - what better way to complement the joyous occasion with great magic done inches away from the audience.
I had the luxury of interacting with many ex-students and alumnus, all of which tremendously enjoyed the miracles happening right at their fingertips.
This particular group of current students were so amazed at the illusions that they started yelling and laughing the moment the magic happened. It brings me joy to see how strangers can connect instantly and create wonderful and unforgettable memories within seconds.
I also had the great honour of performing for the higher management of NUS - president NUS, Dr. Tan Chorh Chuan as well as the director of NUS Office of Alumni Relations, Mr. Bernard Toh. They enjoyed my performance tremendously and they even said that they will definitely consider me for future events. One of the audience member even said that I was one of the smoothest magicians he has ever seen! I am glad that magic entertainment appeals to everyone, providing them with much fun and laughter.
I thoroughly enjoyed my time performing for NUS and I hope that they enjoyed it as much!

'Lou Dobbs Tonight' canceled by Fox News
Azmi Haroun
Lou Dobbs introducing "Lou Dobbs Tonight" on Fox Business, January 4 2020
"Lou Dobbs Tonight" has been canceled by Fox News.
The host will no longer have a role with the network, according to the Los Angeles Times.
The show's cancellation also comes in the wake of Smartmatic filing a $2.7 billion defamation suit against Fox News.
Fox News Media canceled "Lou Dobbs Tonight," which aired on Fox Business Network, and is moving to part ways with longtime host and Donald Trump supporter Lou Dobbs, according to the Los Angeles Times.
Over the last few months and throughout Trump's presidency, Dobbs frequently parroted the former administration's talking points and repeated false assertions of voter fraud in the 2020 election.
The show's final airing will be on Friday with a substitute anchor.
According to the LA Times, next week, Fox will replace the show with a new one called "Fox Business Tonight," with rotating hosts Jackie DeAngelis and David Asman. Dobbs is still under contract but is not expected to have any role on the network in the future, the LA Times reported.
"As we said in October, Fox News Media regularly considers programming changes and plans have been in place to launch new formats as appropriate post-election, including on Fox Business," a Fox News Media spokesperson told Insider. "This is part of those planned changes. A new 5 p.m. program will be announced in the near future."
The show's cancelation also comes in the wake of voting software company Smartmatic filing a $2.7 billion defamation suit against Fox Corporation, Fox News, and hosts Lou Dobbs, Jeanine Pirro, and Maria Bartiromo. Fox News Media says it stands by its reporting of the November 2020 election and told the LA Times that the parting with Dobbs was not a result of the suit.

What's behind House Republicans' resistance to the package? The official line is that they are worried, as with any other big spending, about its cost. They want it to be offset by other cuts and pared back (the bill had been larded up with non-Sandy items, including relief for other regions for past events). "Sometimes when you ask for too much, you don't get anything," Sen. Roy Blount, of Missouri, told CNN. It's not hard to wonder, though, whether stiffing New York and New Jersey has to do with the states' political coloring—both blue, one is governed by a high-profile Democrat and possible presidential aspirant, the other by a Republican whom many in his party blame for helping Barack Obama win reelection, who today in characteristically no-holds-barred fashion declared the House's punting on the vote "disappointing and disgusting to watch." Is holding off on the relief bill payback by a party that has an ever-dwindling hold in the Northeast?
If so, there's a sad irony at play for those in the most affected areas: Republicans are, perhaps more than they realize, stiffing their own voters. The fact is, the parts of New York and New Jersey hit hardest by Sandy tended to be far more Republican-leaning than the states as a whole. Obama won New Jersey by nearly 18 percentage points, but he lost the two big coastal counties, Ocean and Monmouth, with only 41 and 47 percent of the vote, respectively. He won New York City with a whopping 81 percent of the vote. But among the few pockets of the city that Mitt Romney carried were the precincts hit hardest by Sandy, including southern Staten Island and Belle Harbor in the Rockaways.
What are we to make of this? Well, for one thing, that as our political landscape becomes more starkly sorted between red and blue, it is important to keep in mind that the clustering often happens at a more local level than we realize—there are very red islands in blue seas, and vice versa. Also, that gerrymandering can come at a real cost to citizens in need of serious help. The more that seats are carved into reliably Republican or Democratic enclaves and the less that members need to worry about winning reelection, the less incentive there is for party leaders to keep them in fine fettle with their constituents, whether through routine earmarks or through emergency aid after a disaster. In New Jersey, for instance, the 2010 redistricting made the two districts that represent much of coastal New Jersey safer territory for the Republican incumbents: Jon Runyan, who won his formerly swing district by 9 points, and Chris Smith, who won his by 18 points. A House leader looking ahead to 2014 would see little reason to worry about those members' prospects.
One exception to this might be Grimm, whose district encompassing Staten Island and southern Brooklyn is relatively coherently drawn, and is also relatively competitive—he won reelection in November by 6.6 percentage points, against a lackluster challenger. Grimm, as it happens, is also under ongoing federal investigation for possible campaign finance violations. If he is now lashing out at his own party's leaders, it's surely in part because he realizes that they, in stiffing New York, could end up infuriating just enough of his constituents to flip a red district to blue, and thus bring it into harmony with a broader Northeastern region that national Republican leaders see ever less reason to give a damn about.

Scale Space Monthly Gazette
A busy start to the year...
We've had a busy start to the year with the clock ticking down to the grand opening of Scale Space in 2020. So, what's happened to date? The first few months of 2019 have seen us complete all the infrastructure and groundworks - in March we erected the first pieces of steelwork, and so far in April we've installed 50% of the modules and have also started the external cladding works.
April was all about interior design!
Meanwhile, we're also very busy preparing the building's day-to-day operations and are finding great partners to help us deliver a number of key amenities like food and beverages. We all know a good cup of coffee gets your day going!
Some of you may already know that the interior design and installation works for the common areas have been awarded to Office Principles who have over 25 years' experience in workplace interior design, office fit-out and space planning.

What's new in White City?
Since the beginning of the year, we've seen our White City community getting bigger and bigger with exciting companies relocating to the area and new cultural and leisure operators opening.
In February, Publicis Media began to move its six UK media agencies to BBC television centre. As Sue Frogley, UK Chief Executive of Publicis Media, said: "The place has got a real buzz, with BBC Worldwide and ITV studios and lots of start-ups". With over 2,000 staff eventually moving over from Publicis, this will surely benefit the entire White City community.
White City grew even more fashionable in March when Ralph & Russo announced the relocation of their headquarters from Chelsea to White City Place, which is already home to Yoox Net-a-Porter, the online fashion retailer.
Finally, in April we were very proud to see one of our JV partners, Imperial College London, opening its £167 million Molecular Sciences Research Hub on the College's White City Campus. The Molecular Sciences Research Hub was opened by the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, alongside Imperial's President Alice Gast. This new research hub will be home to 800 scientists, engineers and clinicians, addressing global challenges in energy, sustainability and healthcare.

What else has happened in White City? Well, it's also been announced that no less than 3 new cultural and entertainment venues will be opening before the end of the year!
W12 Studios, a 450-person capacity venue featuring food, drinks and live music has opened in White City Place and has already established itself as the area's new 'foodie-plus' hotspot.

This summer, after the success of its King's Cross venue, Troubadour is opening a new 1,200 seat theatre space in White City. Works on setting up the awesome Meccano-style structure are underway and it looks highly impressive!
Finally, Printworks has announced the opening of a 3000-capacity venue in White City by the end of the year, which will host live music events, exhibitions, award ceremonies and much more!

Brrrr! Those 3/4 sleeved coats and knits are hot, but boy, my forearms are cold! Now, Urban Outfitters has something snappy to keep those arms toasty and chic.
I just love the way a 3/4 length or elbow-length knit or coat looks! So modern, so fresh! I'm also happy that the temps are dipping a bit so I can finally wear all of those new wardrobe items, but as much as I love them, my arms are exposed and I'm chilly. I don't want to overlay layer and sweat in the New York City subway with the rest of the lot. Solution? These extra long leather gloves. These are amazing — I love the length, the zipper, the whole shebang.
The plan is to pull them up, scrunch them down and just play with them. Available in whiskey brown and black, the gloves are sized small/medium and medium/large. And what a steal at just $48!
I love mixing the whiskey with a grey coat and black bag. Or even navy. All of those colors together. I also love the idea of a black glove with a bright colored coat or a nice oatmeal-colored knit. And I like the zipper hardware mixed with a new studded fall bag or just a plain leather satchel.
And of course, I'm feeling very Howard Hughes lately with being fearful of germs and touching what other straphangers hold on to or even touching cash. Crazy? Maybe. But at least I'll be insanely chic while I try to protect myself.

BIOAVLEE SELLS FIRST QUANTICA 500 COLONY COUNTERS
At the end of November, Bioavlee, our portfolio company, received an order for eight pieces of Quantica 500 colony counters. The order was completed on the same day. This is the first sale of Quantica 500 devices implemented by Bioavlee.
Quantica 500 is a device created for a wide audience, enabling automatic counting of microorganism colonies in quantitative analyzes during microbiological tests. Quantica 500 is more efficient, faster and cheaper compared to competitive solutions. Thanks to an efficient algorithm, the Quantica 500 correctly sums up even merged colonies. This feature gives the Bioavlee device a significant advantage over existing standard solutions, having difficulties in separating this type of colonies.
The Company is in talks with foreign distributors regarding the sale of Quantica 500, among others in France, Great Britain, Germany, Croatia, Spain and Turkey. At the beginning of next year, Bioavlee will provide foreign distributors with a series of test equipment.

APS WILL PROTECT AIRPORTS IN NORWAY AGAINST AERIAL THREATS
Our portfolio company Advanced Protection Systems (APS) announced a few days ago that its CTRL+SKY system will be used in Norway to protect airports from aerial threats.
The company signed a contract with AVINOR for the protection of the Stavanger airport, among others in the field of bird monitoring as well as detection and neutralization of drones.
Airports and surrounding areas are particularly vulnerable to intrusions of drones. Thanks to the multi-sensor design, the Ctrl+Sky system enables efficient detection and neutralization of drones both day and night, in 24/7 mode, in all weather conditions. The system guarantees the so-called "umbrella protection" without dead zones, which means that every flying intruder will be captured, and thus its neutralization will be possible.
Congratulations to the entire APS team for the next international cooperation and implementation!

Join the team in Bristol & Bath Science Park for a half-day as an honorary member of the advisory board to discuss new plans and let us steal your ideas. Plus you'll get a first edition signed hardback, the ebook and your name in the back of the book.
The Fully Charged Show was started in 2010, during the very early days of modern electric vehicles.
Now, over 400 episodes later, it has grown from a micro niche show created by one man and some ropey old cameras, into a beautifully produced world leading authority on electric vehicles and renewable energy.
With around 2 million views a month, the show is watched all over the globe.
Our main frustration is that we simply cannot cover all the innovations, new technologies and engineering breakthroughs that are occurring around the world. Our inboxes are jammed with suggestions, many of them wonderful.
Hence the idea of creating a book, hopefully to be repeated as every year sees incredible growth in the renewable energy and automotive industries.
So the The Fully Charged Guide to Electric Vehicles & Clean Energy will be a comprehensive, entertaining, heavily illustrated 'state of the nation' snapshot of where we are and where we're going.
We have gathered together a team of writers from industry, academia and the media to give us the most recent innovations from their specific field of knowledge, and to look forward at what's to come in the very near future.
Reaching our target will allow us to make a beautifully designed A4 hardback book, with full colour printing throughout and an estimated 200 images as well as 30,000 words of text. As a supporter, you will get your name printed in the back of the book and receive a copy before its general release into bookstores.
The original reason for Fully Charged was to investigate whether it was achievable for humans to no longer need to burn things to live, to work and to travel. An unachievable destination perhaps, but an important direction of travel as the world reacts to air pollution and climate breakdown; it's clear to us, that our audience want to live and work in buildings and travel in vehicles that don't cost the earth.
More recently we've discovered that they're also interested in an array of adjacent technologies and topics that will enable them to lessen their impact on the planet and Fully Charged is evolving to educate and inspire people to change for the better. Fully Charged exists therefore to educate its viewers that a very high percentage of the energy that the global population demands can, and should, come from 'clean' sources, most notably solar and wind when allied to energy storage technologies like batteries; although there are many other technologies that can contribute to the transition to a post-combustion era. In short, we would like the world to…STOP BURNING STUFF.
These people are helping to fund The Fully Charged Guide to Electric Vehicles & Clean Energy.
what does the Fully Charged Merchandise Bundle look like/include?
What are the possible dates (or even a guess at time of year) for the half-day at science park (500.00 level support) and taping of dinner party episode (750.00 level support)? Aiming to do these in 2019 or 2020?
Thanks Magdalena, a good question!
We would intend to do both in 2019. Difficult to be too specific but I would say July or October for the half-day at the Science Park, while it would make sense to the Dinner Party in the lead-up to Xmas (so November or December). I hope that helps and thanks for considering supporting the Fully Charged Almanac!
