When I first stepped into a darkroom at the age of 14 and witnessed the magic of an image slowly developing before my eyes I was hooked on image making. The passion for photography runs through my blood ( most likely the chemicals from the darkroom days 🙂 ).
When not in my studio using all the modern lighting, camera and computer tech "toys", you might find me with my camera and tripod shooting an urban landscape, long exposure coast image, or in a National Park producing art work for my image composites utilizing natural light and "HDR" techniques.
Whether I am creating a simple headshot for a local business owner, a billboard for a regional company or product packaging for an international corporation I provide the same amount of energy, detail and passion no matter how large or small the project.
For advertising, catalog, pop display, product packaging, trade shows and more.


I derive a huge part of my own motivation from knowing that much of what I do directly benefits causes that I have a close empathy with. When the chips are down I can dig deep and find hitherto unrealised strength from reminding myself that I'm out there hurting because through doing so I'm helping ease the pain of others.
My life has been much affected by two tragic losses – as a 9-year old I lost my older brother Alan to leukaemia and as a 35-year old I discovered the body of my brother-in-law Max after he had taken his own life. This is why all my major adventures to date have been in aid of either Leukaemia & Blood Cancer NZ or the Mental Health Foundation of NZ. All told these projects have raised almost $800,000. But I'm not done yet and as a passionate advocate for getting active in the great outdoors as a way of helping manage mental wellbeing I will continue to lead by example and raise money to enable the Mental Health Foundation to carry on their brilliant work. This includes donating a portion of all my speaking fees to the charity.


Exploring movement and self expression is important at all ages. For that reason, we have a number of classes available for youth.
Our Youth Program highlights body positivity, celebration of diversity and non gendered class structures that align with our mission for our adult program and our space, in general.
This class facilitates experience and knowledge of contemporary forms through creative movement, improvisation, somatic techniques, and composition. Emphasis is on weight, space, and shape practiced through individual and group awareness and choice-making. Improve coordination, ability, observation, rhythm, and self-confidence. We explore artistic expression, respect for self and others, and collaboration.
This class prioritizes full body coordination, clarity in the positions without muscular tension or stress and finding freedom within the technique. We develop fundamental skills like awareness of space, time and composition, collaboration with others, and expanding personal expression within the ballet vocabulary. Our staff utilizes imagery as a tool to push past the form and more fully embody the movement. Our mission is to foster a space where each child can develop and grow without needing to fit into any ideal or standard.
Our youth and family dance classes require a weekly commitment for at least a 1 month duration. While our adult classes are a "drop-in" format, we see value in having consistency for our youth in order to forge a respectful relationship and to develop ideas and concepts.
Youth are free to wear whatever makes them comfortable. Our only advice is that they wear something that has the stretch and fit to accommodate their moving bodies.
Please be on time. We begin our classes by warming up our bodies to avoid injury. Students more than 10 minutes late will not be permitted to take class.
F+F and its employees are not liable for any injuries or loss of property sustained while students are in class or on the premises.
F+F reserves the right to cancel any class due to insufficient attendance. Instructors are subject to change.
Payments may be made debit card, MasterCard or Visa. A form of identification may be requested with certain methods of payment.
Food and drink (except water) are not permitted in the studios.
F+F reserves the right to remove a student from class due to disruptive behavior.
Payment is due prior to the beginning of each class.
No refunds are offered for classes taken or pre registered master classes/workshops.

Windsor Bus Depot—UW
40 University Avenue East, Windsor, Ontario
Institutional / Heritage Conservation / Adaptive Reuse
As part of a long-term planning strategy to rejuvenate the city's downtown, several heritage buildings are being adapted to house the facilities for a new downtown campus of the University of Windsor.
This fine Art Moderne design, built in limestone and granite in 1940, is notable for its rounded corners, semi-circular ribbon windows, and circle window. At some point its original finishes were covered over in stucco and metal cladding. ERA is working to reveal the original limestone and granite masonry, and to reinstitute missing components of the original windows of the streamlined design.
Following conservation work, an adaptive reuse project with CS&P Architects will rejuvenate the building for use as the new home for the University's Film Department. Together with the facing Windsor Armouries, this project will form a micro-campus for the U of W's School of Visual Arts, providing an excellent example of how heritage architecture can help connect a city to its cultural past while providing exciting opportunities for urban renewal.

Q: How to get URL value from html with PHP I found a problem with my homework on how to get the URL value from html using php. I tried a website to try my code, but i need get some URL with pattern (specific result)
example : https: //video.xxxxxxx/
my code :
$regexp = "/<a\s[^>]*href=([\"\']??)([^\\1 >]*?)\\1[^>]*>(.*)<\/a>/siU";
  if(preg_match_all("$regexp", $data, $matches, PREG_SET_ORDER)) {
    foreach($matches as $match) {
      echo $match[0];
    }
  }

A: You can try this:
<a.*?href\s*=\s*([\"\'])(.*?)\1.*?>.*?<\/a>

As seen here
I've never used PHP before, so you might have to use \\1 instead of \1
Explanation:
It's tedious to explain every single element of this, so I'll give you a general idea. First you match the a tag, followed by any number of characters, styles, or different attributes, then followed by href=. Here, we start the capturing group 1, which contains your ' or ". Capturing group 2 contains your website's url without the quotations. Then we use \1 to refer to the type of quotation first used.
If you want the text within the a tag, for whatever reason, you can refer to it using \3
Do note: You'll need to use match[2] instead of match[0]

Resident Spring
Capcom confirms a wait of only six months for the next (or preceding) Resi instalment
News by	Tom Bramwell, Contributor
Source - press release
Resident Evil is launching on the GameCube on Friday, September 13th, but Cube owners won't have to wait the usual year or two for the next instalment of the series. Capcom has confirmed that Resident Evil 0 will be released in Europe during Spring 2003, and although it's difficult to say precisely when, it's taken only four months since its US release for the first game to materialise in Europe, so we'd hazard a guess and suggest March.

Shooting attack in South Hebron Hills: Palestinians kill Michael Mark, injure his wife and children
B'Tselem expresses deep sorrow over the killing of Rabbi Michael Mark, 48, and the injury of his wife and two of their children in a shooting attack by Palestinians in the South Hebron Hills on Friday. Mark's wife Hava sustained serious injuries, their 13-year-old daughter Tehilla moderate injuries, and their 15-year-old son Pedaya sustained minor injuries. B'Tselem conveys its sincerest condolences and best wishes for a speedy recovery to the Mark family. The deliberate targeting of civilians undermines every moral, legal and human standard. B'Tselem strongly condemns any and all deliberate attacks against civilians and calls once again on politicians and leaders to act responsibly and avoid fanning the flames of violence.

There's a variety of ways to use water fountain accessories. We'll provide you some insight on how to get the best usage from your fountain with our water fountain accessory tips.
Having trouble keeping your fountain pump running smoothly and efficiently? There could be a nasty build-up of algae, dirt and debris blocking water from flowing freely through the pump. When learning how to clean a fountain pump, vinegar is a better solution than any soap and water.
Vinegar is used to break down mineral deposits that can collect over time. For areas with hard water, more frequent cleaning may be needed – approximately every two weeks. Soft water does not build-up as fast so the pump can run for a month or two between soakings.
Fountain owners need to know how to clean a fountain pump correctly to prolong the life of their fountain pump.
What constitutes a water fountain accessory? They don't have to be things you buy in the store next to the array of outdoor or indoor fountains. They can be anything that adds value or visual interest to the fountain itself. Naturally, you want to make sure something is waterproof before you put it into the reservoir of the fountain, but anything goes when it comes to fountain accessories. What matters is that it makes sense to you.
Besides the nuts and bolts of the fountain itself, accessories should be something that either adds to the meaning of the fountain itself, or feeds back a good memory into your family. Maybe a child made a necklace of brightly colored beads in honor of a family member. That could serve as a fountain accessory. Maybe you'd like to create a tribute to a family pet. In that case, accessories might include a pet collar or laminated pet photos.
Whatever you decide to do with your fountain is completely up to you. More than just a place to reflect and relax, your indoor or outdoor water fountain should be adorned with something that reflects your passions, whatever they may be.
How do I know what kind of fountain pump to buy? Even though you carefully clean your outdoor fountain pumps regularly, or make sure to keep your indoor fountain pumps in top condition, they can still break down. The good news is that replacing fountain pumps isn't a big deal. Let's say you purchased your water fountain from Serenity Health. You've used your fountain with considerable pleasure and then one day, the fountain stops working properly. Depending on the water fountain model, it may still be under warranty, so check with the company to see if you're eligible for any refund or discount on a new pump.
If not, there's nothing to fret about. Indoor and outdoor fountain pumps are inexpensive and easy to buy. In fact, the Serenity Health & Home Decor offers a little tutorial on what to look for in fountain pumps.
Essentially, the trick is to make sure you're buying a pump appropriate for your fountain. They come in a range of sizes and power, depending on how many gallons of water you need to pump through that fountain. Do you own an indoor or outdoor fountain? It does matter. Outdoor fountain pumps are specifically designed to plug into an outdoor outlet safely (however, always disconnect the pump from the fountain during freezing weather conditions). Indoor fountain pumps, on the other hand, are made specifically – and only – for indoor use.
Is it safe to use cleaners and bleach on my fountain? The type and amount of water fountain cleaning supplies you need to keep your fountain working properly has a lot to do with the size of the fountain, whether it's an indoor or an outdoor fountain, and is especially pertinent to the material the fountain is made of.
For example, copper fountains can be damaged by using the wrong water fountain cleaning supplies. The same holds true for steel or slate water fountains. Use furniture polish or Pledge to keep your natural copper fountains clean. Now, buying a product specifically labeled "copper cleaner" might seem like the logical choice, but don't use it on your natural copper fountain. It will completely remove the hand applied patina finish. Keep in mind that copper is natural and, as a result, will weather naturally, changing color over time.
Bleach or any product that contains bleach.
Not using appropriate cleaning supplies (or taking care not to use water fountain cleaning supplies in the case of stainless steel fountains) can damage the finish of your fountain transforming it from a work of art, to something you can't give away at a yard sale.
How can I keep the water in my fountain fresh and clean? Indoor and outdoor fountains are so easy to install and maintain that it's easy to forget they need a little bit of tender loving care every now and then. That awe you felt when you first ran your outdoor water fountain can soon be replaced with "ewww" if it becomes contaminated with algae, bacteria, and unsightly white scales.
There is hope, however, and that hope comes in a liquid made especially to get rid of those pesky problems. Preventing white scale in fountains doesn't require any hard-core cleaning products or hours of elbow grease. All it takes is a change in water now and then, and a drop or two to keep the water clean. Think of it like cleaning a mini swimming pool. If you didn't keep the water in a pool clean, it would soon be too scummy to enjoy. The same thing holds true with a water fountain.
Unplug the fountain pump to drain all the water. If you have a smaller fountain you can tip it over into an area you wouldn't mind the water in.
Use a cleaning rag to wipe down the fountain. You should give special attention to where the most algae is.
You can use white vinegar and a bristled cleaning brush to scrub away tougher algae. The vinegar won't damage the fountain and can remove stains and discoloration easily.
Then using pipe cleaners to clear algae buildup out of the hole the water comes from. Gently put the pipe cleaner into the hole, twist around for about 30 seconds and pull it back out.
Fountec Algaecide and Water Clarifier can help prolong and prevent algae build up in fountains as well or if you are looking for a safe, non-toxic water freshener try the Small or Large Fountain Cleanser.
Now that your fountain is cleaned and restored back to its original state you can go back to showing if off to all your friends.


The historic Port Adelaide game played in Shanghai in May 2017 was the first match for points held in mainland China by any professional sporting league worldwide.
Central to the Sports Diplomacy strategy behind the game is 'Taste of Australia', an opportunity for Australian businesses to connect with a Chinese audience.
The app and fly through we created – in both English and Mandarin – was the prime communication tool used with stakeholders in both China and Australia to visualise the event day and engage with the event.
"We have absolutely smashed it with the fly through presentation over here this week. Without doubt the most powerful tool we have produced to help articulate our vision. KT." Keith Thomas, CEO Port Adelaide Football Club.
In addition to the App we have delivered a multilingual website that is the digital hub for the Shanghai AFL experience.

Show your work to the TA when you are done.
Submit your work through OWL by the end of the day of your lab section.
We will work with exceptions and practice debugging. For preparation, review the lecture notes on Java exceptions.
In this exercise, you will experiment with some examples of code that generates exceptions and answer some questions on the examples. Download the Exception Examples 1, 2, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12 from the Sample Code section of the course webpage. It may be simplest if you put them all in one project, and run them separately as you progress through this Exercise. Note that some of them will (purposely) not compile.
Run examples 1 and 2. They both have an "unchecked exception": one that you do not explicitly need to check for in the code, but will be generated if the conditions for the exception occur.
What is the condition that generates the exception in each of these programs?
Which of the two examples allows the program to continue even if the exception is generated?
What is the statement that actually generates the exception in example 6? In example 7?
In example 7, does execution of the method change continue after the statement that generated the exception?
What happens of you change the statement containing debug = true to debug = false ?
Now run example 8. Notice that both the main method and the method change have a try-catch statement. In which method(s) is the exception actually caught in this case?
Run example 12. This is an example that contains multiple possible exceptions. Try running it for an illegal input such as the letter A, and then for a legal integer input such as the value 6. When handling an exception, how many of each of the following clauses can be present in a try/catch statement?
number of try clauses possible?
number of catch clauses possible?
Try to run example 9. Note that it does not compile. This is an example of an exception that is known as a "checked" exception, and the method header must state that it is throwing an exception. Now run examples 10 and 11 using illegal input such as abc. What is the "checked" exception that is generated in examples 9, 10 and 11?
Add a loop to example 11, that asks the user for another input for as long as the input is not valid. You will need to use a while loop and a boolean variable that tells the program whether a valid input has yet been entered.
Eclipse comes with a debugger which allows you to single-step through your code one statement at a time, trace variables, stop the execution at any time, and find errors in this way. In this exercise you will use the debugger to trace through the program DebuggingExercise.java.
Open DebuggingExercise.java and try to run it. You will see that it compiles but does not run.
Check that you have a Debug button in the top right corner of your Eclipse window, beside the Java button. If you don't, select Window - Open Perspective - Debug.
Click on the Debug button to change to the Debug view. You can, at any time, switch back to the Java view by clicking on the Java button in the top right corner.
In the window displaying your code, you will now add a breakpoint to the line for (int j=1; j<=6; j++). You do this by right-clicking in this line at the very left, and then clicking Toggle Breakpoint. You can remove a breakpoint at any time in the exact same way.
When executing your program, the debugger will stop every time this line is reached. Run your program in the debug mode by clicking on Run - Debug (alternatively, F11). The variables will appear in the variable window and the program stops upon reaching the breakpoint for the first time. Now you can use F5 to execute your program one instruction at a time (called single-stepping) or F8 to continue with the execution until the next breakpoint is reached (in a loop the next breakpoint might be the same one again). Note how the variables i and j are changing in the Variables window. While you are doing this, expand some of the rows and columns of the array testArray in the Variables window, to see how the variables are changing.
Fix the error when you find it.

Abuse often has short-term and long-term effects on those who fall victim to it, as it is a seriously distressing experience.
Life can alter in a few ways, after the abuse; for example, one might have trouble trusting future partners or avoid romantic relationships altogether.
Additionally, one can experience a range of emotions that are hard to understand and manage, but of which ultimately helps the individual heal moving forward.
Now, to heal properly, one should seek refuge in their loved ones and also seek guidance from a mental health professional.
Both your loved ones and a mental health professional can offer you the support that you need and help you make an effective plan for moving forward with your life.
Abuse—be it physical, emotional, mental—is a distressing experience. One that often has many short-term and long-term effects on those who fall victim to it. So, in short, an abusive relationship can change you in a lot of ways. But that doesn't mean there's no hope for healing from the abuse and moving forward with your life.

"Cities in flames seen from above are one of the toughest semesters for an architectural student." This was Frei Otto, the influential German architect, engineer, teacher and writer, who has died at the age of 89, recollecting his experience as a trainee Luftwaffe fighter pilot. The view from a Messerschmitt Bf 109 as the Third Reich went up in flames, he said, encouraged him to imagine a postwar architecture that would be transparent, democratic, non-hierarchical and free.
He had only just entered architecture school at the Technische Universität, Berlin, when he was called up for military service in the second world war. As he had designed and flown gliders, the Luftwaffe was a natural choice.
However, Otto, whose parents were members of the Deutscher Werkbund, an association of forward-looking artists, designers, architects and patrons founded in 1907, looked down with horror on what the Nazis had created, artistically as well as politically. Their monumental neoclassical buildings standing to attention around parade-ground public squares represented the crushing weight of the Third Reich.
Otto returned to architecture school in Berlin in 1948, before studying for six months at the University of Virginia. In the US, he met his architectural heroes, Charles Eames, Richard Neutra, Eero Saarinen, Frank Lloyd Wright and, above all, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. A former architectural director of the Deutscher Werkbund and the last director of the Bauhaus before the design school was forced to close in 1933, Mies had gone on to teach and shape his radical new architecture in America. His famous dictum "less is more" is one Otto believed in to the core of his being. The duty of the architect was to make as little impact as possible on nature and to learn from natural design – in Otto's case, from the structures of crab shells, birds' skulls, spiders' webs and bubbles on the surface of water.
In a long career, starting in 1952 when he set up his own studio in Berlin, Otto worked with fellow architects, engineers, scientists and artists in a spirit of democratic collaboration to create such structural wonders as the floating, net-like roofs of the German pavilion at the innovative Expo 67 in Montreal, the celebrated Summer Olympics stadium in Munich (1972), and the ultra-lightweight aviary at Munich Zoo (1980).
In Britain, a generation of "hi-tech" architects – among them Richard Rogers, Norman Foster, Michael Hopkins and Nicholas Grimshaw – were under Otto's spell. The lightweight fabric roof of the Mound Stand at Lord's cricket ground (1987), the bubble-like domes of the Eden Project, Cornwall (2000), and the "bubble-wrap" structure of the National Space Centre, Leicester (2001), are spirited evidence of Otto's influence.
Born in Siegmar, Saxony, Otto was to have followed in his father's steps as a sculptor but instead turned to architecture. After his capture in Nuremburg in April 1945, he spent two years in a French PoW camp near Chartres, where he used his burgeoning skill to shape makeshift shelters and other useful structures from minimal means. His postwar studies exposed him to the work of the brilliant Russian structural engineer and polymath Vladimir Shukhov (1853-1939), pioneer of lightweight tensile, gridshell, diagrid and hyperbolic structures more than half a century before computers arrived to help with the calculations involved in such radical designs. In the United States, he was transfixed by the lightweight beauty of the multi-purpose JS Dorton Arena (1952) in Raleigh, North Carolina, designed by the Siberian-born Polish engineer Matthew Nowicki.
Combining teaching in Germany and the US with design work, Otto established a succession of overlapping university research institutes to further the understanding and practice of lightweight structures. These included the Biology and Building group, Berlin, founded with the biologist Johann Gerhard Helmcke, and the Institute of Lightweight Structures, Stuttgart. He was a prolific writer, whose Tensile Structures (two volumes, 1962-66), Biology and Building (1972), Pneu and Bone (1995) and Finding Form: Towards an Architecture of the Minimal (1995) remain engaging and practical.
Married in 1952 to Ingrid Smolla, Otto had five children, one of whom, Christine Otto Kanstinger, qualified as an architect and joined her father in his atelier at Warmbronn near Stuttgart in 1983. Meanwhile, after one of his star German students, Mahmoud Bodo Rasch, became a Muslim in 1974, work flourished in the Middle East, with Otto consulting Rasch on such engaging designs as the "umbrellas" that, from 1992, have opened up in the paved area used for prayer outside the Prophet's Mosque, Medina, to create shade when the sun is at its fiercest.
The British engineering consultancy Buro Happold also worked on this project, as it did, with Otto and the architects ABK, on a delightful workshop for the Parnham Trust School for Woodland Industries, at Hooke, Dorset. Built in 1989, the workshop's sinuous vaulted structure was fabricated from stressed and exposed spruce thinnings, a case of nature working hand-in-branch with advanced structural design. A decade later, Otto advised on the design of a pavilion with Buro Happold and the Japanese architect Shigeru Ban for Expo 2000 in Hanover; its roof structure was made entirely of paper.

Barcelona can see off Osasuna but expect the visitors to find the net at some stage.
Lionel Messi's 92nd-minute winner in a thrilling El Clasico has sent Barcelona top of La Liga, and while Real remain level on points and with a game in hand, the Catalans have a fantastic opportunity to put some pressure on their rivals with an early kick-off. Barca have been imperious of late at the Nou Camp, winning each of their last nine. They average 3.89 goals a game in that stretch, with six of the victories by at least three clear goals.
Osasuna almost made it three wins from four, but two late Gijon goals saw them take just point from the game, and although they're not mathematically down they're nine points from safety with just five to play. They've lost all 10 of their matches against the top six this term, though they've found the net in the four defeats on the road. None of their defeats was by more than a three-goal margin, and this run includes visits to both Madrid clubs.
Against the current bottom six and the bottom-six finishers from last season, Barca have won nine of 11 unbeaten matches, and although they've conceded in just five of these, their recent defensive record suggests Osasuna may get on the scoresheet. Luis Enrique's side have been fairly loose at the back, keeping just two clean sheets in their last 11, while Osasuna have only failed to score twice in their last nine. With the -3 handicap still odds-on, a home win and both teams to score looks the best bet in this one-sided affair.

Norm Needleman
Representing Chester, Clinton, Colchester, Deep River, East Haddam, East Hampton, Essex, Haddam, Lyme, Old Saybrook, Portland and Westbrook
Follow Senator Needleman:
HARTFORD – Today, in light of continuing concerns over the spread of the virus Eastern Equine Encephalitis, a coalition of legislators led by State Senators Norm Needleman (D-Essex) and Paul Formica (R-East Lyme) addressed a letter to Governor Ned Lamont, requesting for his administration to review and consider selective use of mosquito pesticides in areas with high EEE activity. This week, a second Shoreline resident passed away after contracting EEE; the elected officials believe more could be done to protect the public before the threat fully subsides.
"I am heartened by this bipartisan effort to help protect Connecticut residents," said Sen. Needleman. "While we are grateful for the efforts the Governor's administration has taken to address this crisis, we believe that selective use of pesticides within reason could help prevent future infections among the public. With weeks until the first frost, it's not enough to simply ask people to stay indoors. If this effort could save even a single life, especially in our more vulnerable populations, it would be worthwhile."
Legislators who signed the letter include State Senators Cathy Osten (D-Sprague) and Heather Somers (R-Groton) and State Representatives Tim Ackert (R-Coventry), Devin Carney (R-Old Saybrook), Christie Carpino (R-Cromwell), Holly Cheeseman (R-Niantic), Christine Conley (D-Groton), Joe de la Cruz (D-Groton), Mike France (R-Ledyard), Robin Green (R-Marlborough), Irene Haines (R-East Hampton), Jesse MacLachlan (R-Westbrook), Kathleen McCarty (R-Waterford), Anthony Nolan (D-New London), Linda Orange (D-Colchester), Emmett Riley (D-Norwich), Kate Rotella (D-North Stonington) and Kevin Ryan (D-Montville).
Recognizing the administration's efforts so far to inform and educate the public about the virus, including releasing information about preventing exposure to the disease, the lawmakers feel the recent fatalities make a more urgent response necessary. While the threat will subside naturally upon the approach of the first frost, officials note that statewide low temperatures are not likely to drop below 40 degrees through mid-October, leaving individuals at risk.
Citing a Hartford Courant article noting the state previously sprayed during a concerning outbreak in 1996, the officials asked Governor Lamont to review the potential effectiveness of the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection using aerial insecticide to reduce mosquito populations. At the same time, legislators recognize that they do not wish to create unnecessary panic, simply stating that if such an effort saves a single life, it would be worth undertaking.
The text of the full letter follows: ____________
Dear Governor Lamont,
We are appreciative of your administration's efforts to far to inform and educate the public about the dangers of Eastern Equine Encephalitis and how they can best protect themselves from mosquitos. The virus itself, while normally rare, appears to be spreading at a faster and further rate than normally seen; being cautious and letting our state's residents know what practices to avoid is a key step toward preventing its further spread.
While we recognize that prevention is an important step of keeping the public safe, we are also concerned about the volatility of the virus. With two constituents on the Shoreline having already passed away after contracting EEE, we feel that it may not be enough to simply advise the public to avoid times when mosquitos are most active. Weather reports indicate that statewide low temperatures are not expected to drop below 40 degrees through at least the next two weeks; waiting for a first frost to naturally kill mosquitos is a luxury we may not be able to afford. In that time, more individuals will be at risk of contracting the virus.
We hearby would like to request that the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection review the potential effectiveness of selective aerial insecticide spraying in areas of the state with high concentrations of EEE. According to the Hartford Courant, in 1996, the last time the state experienced a significant outbreak of the virus, aerial spraying was deployed in impacted regions of the state. With several weeks remaining until the outbreak will naturally end, we believe this spraying would give additional peace of mind to families across Connecticut.
In saying this, we recognize that we do not wish to cause unnecessary panic. The risk of EEE remains low and we understand that numbers are declining. At the same time, if further prevention efforts can save even one more life or prevent even one individual from becoming sick, we believe they would be valuable and worthwhile. Every one of our constituents deserves security in light of this public health risk.

Leadership Florence Alumni and Emerging Leaders Alumni come together for reunion event
May 31, 2018 /in Frontpage Article, Images, News, Uncategorized /by Mandy Howle
Leadership Florence Alumni and Emerging Leaders Alumni came together for a wonderful reunion event held at the Penthouse of Hotel Florence, SC.
More than 60 Leadership Florence and Emerging Leaders alumni and friends, including South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham, came by to enjoy the festivities.

Florence Family Medicine aims for personal touch
May 30, 2018 /in Frontpage Article, Images, News, Ribbon Cuttings, Uncategorized /by Mandy Howle
FLORENCE, S.C. — Florence Family Medicine employees joined ambassadors from the Greater Florence Chamber of Commerce to hold a ribbon cutting Thursday morning.
Florence Family Medicine, at 315 N. Beltline Drive, Suite E, provides primary care services including sports physicals, sick visits, preventive medicine, routine health maintenance, management of chronic medical illnesses and more.
Ryan Williams, who co-owns the practice with his wife, Sabrina, and is the M.D., said the business opened in March.
"We had been working for larger facilities in the past and we kind of chatted one night and felt like we were called to open a small business and to serve the Florence and Pee Dee community with a private medical practice," Ryan said.
Sabrina, a nurse, said the two had always joked about opening their own practice.
"All of a sudden it wasn't a joke anymore," she said. "We started looking and decided to really do it and here we are. It's awesome and it certainly doesn't feel like work."
The two added Nikhole Mitchell to their staff as a registered nurse.
Ryan said the practice provides more of a personal touch than that of many other doctors' offices. He said that the staff has prayed with patients and visited them in the hospital and that they seek to provide the highest care possible in every situation.
"Our main objective was to do this for God's glory," Ryan said. "We had our church come and dedicate this place. We claimed that He is the owner of the place and that puts things into perspective. It changes how we view patients and how we treat people. If you put God first, all else will fall into place. We strive to do the right thing in caring for people and we strive to be accessible to our patients."
Sabrina said that the actions of the business speak louder than its words.
"We don't push our faith on anyone, but we know that how we act and how we care about people, they will see Jesus in us," Sabrina said. "In us caring about them, people see the difference."
Sabrina said one way that the practice cares for its patients is by having shorter wait times.
"People are tired of waiting for their doctor," Sabrina said. "They complain about having to wait two to three hours and still not being seen when they go back in the room. We will always strive to get our patients back and have them seen by the doctor in a quick time."
Florence Family Medicine serves all ages and works with all the major insurance companies. The business plans to be full-service, meaning that it can admit patients into the hospital if necessary.
The practice is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and is closed from noon to 1 p.m. each day. For more information, visit florencefamilymed.com, follow the practice on Facebook or call 843-407-8192.

Olanta, Hartsville banks announce merger
OLANTA, S.C. — Citizens Bancshares Corporation, the holding company of The Citizens Bank, and Regional Bankshares, Inc., the holding company of Heritage Community Bank, jointly announced Friday the signing of a definitive merger agreement under which Citizens has agreed to acquire Regional in a cash and stock transaction with a total current value of approximately $11.3 million, based on an assumed Citizens' stock value of approximately $30 per share as of May 17.
The combined company would have had approximately $550 million in total assets, $476 million in total deposits, and $356 million in total loans.
The transaction will create a 19-office banking company with locations in the eastern part of South Carolina.
The merger agreement has been approved by the board of directors of each company. Closing of the transaction, which is expected to occur near the end of the third quarter of 2018, is subject to regulatory approval and approval by the shareholders of Regional.
Gosnold G. Segars, Chairman of Regional's Board of Directors is expected to join the Citizens Board of Directors. Other current Regional Board members will have the opportunity to serve as members of The Citizens Bank's Hartsville Advisory Board.
Additionally, Curtis A. Tyner, Sr., President and Chief Executive Officer of Regional, will serve the combined company in a consulting role for a three-year period following the completion of the acquisition.
"Our customers will continue to receive the same high quality level of service from the bankers that have served them at Heritage Community Bank. With Citizens, we have found a shared passion for our work with local businesses and professionals. This focus will continue and we are looking forward to the additional capacity that this combination of banks will bring to our customers," Tyner said.
"Heritage Community Bank is the ideal partner for The Citizens Bank. Our banking philosophies are very similar and we have many operational similarities as well. This transaction will strengthen our ability to serve our local markets, consumers and businesses that make Heritage Community Bank and The Citizens Bank successful. I look forward to our future together as a combined institution and the substantial impact our bank will have on the communities that we serve. We welcome Heritage Community Bank customers and employees to The Citizens Bank family," said Blake Gibbons, president of The Citizens Bank.

FLORENCE, S.C. — Employees from the UPS Store joined ambassadors from the Greater Florence Chamber of Commerce to hold a ribbon cutting Thursday afternoon.
The UPS Store, at 2023 S. Irby St., is the second location in Florence.
David Fountain, who co-owns the store with his business partner, Susan Lee, said the store had been open since August, but the ribbon cutting was a way to celebrate and let the community know about the new store and what it offers.
"It's very exciting," Fountain said. "It was one of those things in the process we needed to do and we were happy to be able to do it today."
The UPS Store offers an array of services, including packing, shipping, mailbox rentals, shredding, notary, freight service and much more.
Fountain said many people do not know about the store's printing service. The store prints anything from stickers to brochures, banners and signage. The store has a graphic designer on staff to help with printing services.
"We're not known for our printing," Fountain said. "From the small things to the big things, we do them all. People see 'UPS' and just think that the store is a place that you ship a package. We want to be a one-stop shop for individuals or businesses. They came into one place and are able to get all the services they need done in one place."
Fountain said joining the chamber was a way for the company to network and build relationships with other business owners and entrepreneurs.
"I made a resolution the first of the year to be active in the community and meet other people," Fountain said. "It's been great to be able to network and build contacts. It has enabled us to let people know that we can print and do all these other things. It really has expanded our reach."
Lee said the location on Irby Street allows the store to reach communities not only in Florence, but around the Pee Dee area.
"This building is larger than any other store we have," Lee said. "It helps us to offer printing production. Stuff that is getting outsourced, we're able to do that right here. In addition to the size, there's a lot of residential. We're pulling in a bigger group of people and we've picked up a lot of traffic over here."
The UPS Store is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. For more information, visit theupsstore.com or call the store at 843-407-6309.

Great Gatsby Gala benefits Florence nonprofit agencies
By: Andrew Boardwine, Morning News
FLORENCE, S.C. — The Greater Florence Chamber of Commerce's Leadership Florence Class of 2018 held a gala Thursday evening to benefit several organizations around the Pee Dee area.
More than 200 people attended "The Great Gatsby"-themed ball in The Waters Building, beginning at 7 p.m. in downtown Florence.
Attendees listened to live music, participated in a silent auction and partook of hors d'oeuvres, while dressed in Roaring '20s attire.
Shametra Swaringer, president of the Leadership Florence class, said the event was a fun opportunity to serve the community.
"It's been amazing," Swaringer said. "Everyone got all dolled up in their flapper dresses with beads at the bottom. Florence is growing and I think they love the opportunity to have different events like this. Not only do they have fun tonight, but they get to spend their money and support a worthy cause."
Proceeds from the night went to benefit House of Hope, Lighthouse Ministries and All 4 Autism.
"We've had the opportunity to spend time with each of our organizations," Swaringer said. "They offer tremendous resources in Florence. All that they contribute is amazing."
Cecilia Meggs, executive director of Lighthouse Ministries, said the event helped the organization continue to build ramps and help with needs in the community.
"It's going to be used to serve the community," Meggs said. "It's not just the money that is raised, it's the awareness. This is a group of leaders and it's great to see them find out about the nonprofits in the community and, in turn, be good stewards and give back."
Jessica Brown, executive director of All 4 Autism, said the proceeds will help the nonprofit continue to help families who have loved ones who are struggling with autism.
"The only reason we opened up a resource center was because there was nothing else in the region," Brown said. "We were trying to set up a way for families to not have to travel all the way to Columbia, Charleston or Greenville."
Les Echols, director of community and minority enterprise for the chamber, said investing in the community is an important part of the Leadership Florence class.
"Giving back to the community is vital to its continuing growth and development," Echols told The Morning News before the event. "It not only helps to enhance someone's quality of life, it also helps to encourage an inclusive and close-knit community in which community members work together and help one another."
Leadership Florence is a comprehensive nine-month program designed to motivate and cultivate leadership for the Florence area. Participants will attend various events during the program to enhance their involvement in the local community while developing valuable leadership skills along the way.
The Leadership Florence Class of 2018 will graduate at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, May 29, at the Floyd Conference Center on the Carolinas Hospital System campus in Florence.

Mailroom Barber & Studio opens new shop in downtown Florence
FLORENCE, S.C. — The Mailroom Barber & Studio became the latest addition to Florence's thriving downtown, opening up its new shop Tuesday morning.
The Mailroom Barber & Studio, at 116 S. Irby St., had a location on Cashua Drive for close to two years before making the decision to move downtown.
Robert Watkins, owner of the shop, said the new location allows the business to serve more clients and offer a better experience.
"This is just a better place for us to offer a greater customer experience," Watkins said. "The downtown community is really growing up fast and we want to be a part of it and add a staple business to the downtown area. We're excited to get to put our name in the pot."
Watkins said he began his barbering career by offering haircuts to his clients in a room in the back of "Smart Phone Repair," named the "mailroom."
"For me, I couldn't really get a haircut that I was happy with, so I just started cutting hair for myself," Watkins said. "I realized that it was a big problem in the community and I sort of just fell in love with barbering and the barber shop culture. At the time, I was studying photography in school, but I quit that and joined an apprenticeship. That's how we kind of got started."
The Mailroom offers conventional barber and salon services, as well as ethically sourced grooming products that customers can buy online or in the shop.
Watkins said the Cashua facility will be used for full-time production of the grooming products, which the business ships to more than 23 different countries.
"We make, package and ship our products from there," Watkins said. "I realized that the stuff I was using didn't really meet the standards I was going for, so I started making my own products. The goal in starting the product line was to offer products to people that were ethically sourced, all-natural and good for their hair and skin."
Watkins said the move to the downtown location has been seamless because of the business' client base. He said the barber studio seeks to offer a welcoming environment that is free from judgment.
"It's a really big problem in salons, typically," Watkins said. "They can be full of gossip and judgmental attitudes, so we strictly discourage that. Our clients don't feel like someone's going to talk about them when they walk out the door and that's one of the biggest parts of what we do. Our first day is going great and we look forward to continuing to grow here in this new location."
Watkins said the best part of owning a barbershop is being able to work with his clients and encourage his staff.
"Many customers come in and they may be disappointed in their hair or they feel a lack of confidence," Watkins said. "I enjoy being able to walk them to a place where they feel a true confidence in their appearance. That's really where I find my fulfillment in it and I get to deeply connect in an age-old tradition. I also love getting to build up other barbers and stylists. We've created a tight-knit family here and I really love getting to stand under them and lift them as a staff, help them grow in their craft and have their back."
The studio is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday and Wednesday, 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Thursday and Friday, and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday.
The Mailroom Barber & Studio takes clients by appointment only. Customers can schedule their appointment and buy products online at themailroombarberco.com.

Lidl? Say it the way you like, ja?
FLORENCE, S.C. – Lidl, a German-based grocery chain, will be opening its new Florence location later this month after nearly a year of construction.
One of the most frequent questions from Pee Dee natives does not have to do with the contents of the super market, but rather the pronunciation of the store's name.
Is it Lid-uhl, Ly-duhl or Lee-duhl?
The correct answer is yes.
Depending on your location, "Lidl" can be pronounced different ways. For example, places in the United Kingdom pronounce the store chain as "Lid-uhl." Germany, where the store originated, pronounces the store as "Lee-duhl."
Chandler Ebeier, spokesperson for Lidl, said that Lidl US LLC will pronounce the name as Germany does.
"There are many different pronunciations, but at Lidl US we pronounce it like "Lee-duhl, rhymes with needle," Ebeier told The Morning News.
Lidl will still accept customers even if they pronounce the store's name wrong.
The store, at 2205 W. Palmetto St., will open its doors at 8 a.m. immediately following a ribbon cutting at 7:40 a.m. Thursday, May 24. The Florence store will be Lidl's 12th location in South Carolina.
Customers will be able to take advantage of get-them-while-you-can grand opening special offers at the new store. The first 100 customers to arrive will receive a wooden coin for a chance to win up to $100 in Lidl gift cards.
The store will be open from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Sunday.
Lidl operates more than 10,000 stores in 28 countries. Lidl first established its U.S. headquarters in Arlington County, Virginia, in June 2015 and currently has stores in six U.S. states.

Auto dealer cuts ribbon for new location in Florence
FLORENCE, S.C. — Employees and executives from U.S. Auto Sales joined ambassadors from the Greater Florence Chamber of Commerce to celebrate the grand opening of its new location with a ribbon cutting Friday morning.
U.S. Auto Sales, a company based in Lawrenceville, Georgia, has 22 locations across the U.S. and five in South Carolina.
President Bob Andersen said the new Florence location, at 1448 N. Cashua Drive, rounds out the company's reach in South Carolina.
"We're excited to be in the Florence community," Andersen said. "This is a great location for us and we are excited to be a part of the town. It was a great opportunity for us to enter Florence and it allows us to be able to care of the full state."
Andersen said that U.S. Auto Sales has a selection of more than 2,000 vehicles and that fresh vehicles will arrive at the Florence location daily.
"We think we have a unique niche, particularly in this market," Andersen said. "We offer a warranty with every vehicle and it's part of our core to treat our guests with respect and maintain them as guests so they will want to come back."
Andersen said joining the chamber was a way for the company to be part of the community.
"I think it's important to always be a part of the community and to add to the community in both jobs and spirit," Andersen said. "We want to keep focus on doing the right things in the community for the folks that live here."
Neill Waters, chief marketing officer for U.S. Auto Sales, added that the chamber offers unique networking opportunities.
"When you're selling cars, anyone can be a customer," Waters said. "Being a part of the chamber allows us the opportunity to network, which create greats value to us as a company."
As part of the festivities, Cowboy's Famous Ribs & Chicken was on location to provide lunch. Andersen said the grand opening was a way to introduce the new dealership to the community.
"We're always excited to open a new facility," Andersen said. "We're growing and continuing to expand our brand. We know that this location will do well and we're excited to see what's next."

Forever 21 apparel store coming to Magnolia Mall in Florence
FLORENCE, S.C. — Magnolia Mall officials have announced the addition of Forever 21 to its stores. The new store will open before the holiday season this year.
Forever 21, a popular retailer, signed a contract with PREIT, Magnolia Mall's parent company, earlier this month for a Florence location and two others in Hyattsville, Maryland, and Plymouth Meeting, Pennsylvania.
The company will also expand its store in the Capital City Mall in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, from 7,000 square feet to 14,000 square feet.
Kelsey Hill, marketing manager of PREIT, said the Florence location will be a popular destination for shoppers.
"Magnolia Mall is so excited to be bringing in Forever 21 for our shoppers," Hill said. "We know our customers will be thrilled and it means so much to us to be able to bring in retailers that really matter to them."
Forever 21 offers a variety of different apparel, including dresses, shoes, rompers, skirts, sweatshirts, swimwear, sleepwear and jackets for women. The store also has sections for men, girls and plus-size apparel, in addition to many accessories.
The store will occupy 9,000 square feet in the Magnolia Mall.
"Forever 21 is such a well-known and loved brand and they will be a great match for our community," Hill said. "This is a store that our shoppers have been wanting for some time now and we know it will be a huge hit."
Hill said the addition of Forever 21 is just one of the many announcements to come from the mall this year.
"There has been a lot happening at Magnolia Mall for a long time now and it is amazing to see it all coming to life," Hill said. "We have already had two fantastic anchor stores open and two stores re-open after moving to new and improved locations and we're not even halfway through the year. Start getting excited for H&M and the new Chick-fil-A because they will be open before you know it. We are working quickly to begin construction on Texas Roadhouse and we still have plenty more exciting new retailer announcements to make this year."
Forever 21 is the fifth-largest specialty retailer in the U.S. Despite the company's growth, it remains a family-owned business.

La saison 2008 de Ligue 1 est la  du Championnat de Côte d'Ivoire de football. L'ASEC Mimosas a essayé de remporter pour la  le titre de champion mais c'est l'Africa Sports National qui a remporté le Championnat. La ligue opposait les quatorze meilleurs clubs ivoiriens en un tournoi aller-retour hebdomadaire de février à  - avec quelques exceptions dues aux calendriers ivoirien, africain et international. Le grand changement cette année fut le changement du sponsor officiel, Orange Côte d'Ivoire laisse la place à MTN Côte d'Ivoire.

Cette année, la LFT, présidée par Sory Diabaté, et la FIF, présidée par Jacques Anouma, ont garanti plus de sécurité, de meilleures infrastructures et un meilleur football afin de pouvoir « vendre le championnat à l'extérieur et retrouver son lustre d'antan ». Ainsi plus de forces de l'ordre ont été déployées dans les stades, des enceintes sportives sont prêtées aux clubs n'ayant pas de stade de football de haut niveau. La MTN Ligue 1 bénéficie d'une meilleure médiatisation que les éditions précédentes avec l'internationalisation des chaînes RTI Première et RTI Sport TV. Le football national ivoirien en 2008 fait le tour de la planète aussi grâce à Internet et aux résumés des journées dans l'émission Afrogoal sur TPS Foot et Direct 8, et sur d'autres émissions télévisées sur le football africain.

La MTN Ligue 1 2008 fut une compétition importante et décisive pour les joueurs ivoiriens, elle constituait une chance de se faire remarquer pour une éventuelle sélection au CHAN Côte d'Ivoire 2009.

Sponsoring et partenariat

Sponsor officiel de ligue
Après la signature entre le géant de la téléphonie mobile africain MTN Côte d'Ivoire et Jacques Anouma, président de la Fédération ivoirienne de football, MTN-CI est le nouveau sponsor officiel de la ligue ivoirienne de football pour les années 2008, 2009 et 2010. MTN-CI succède ainsi à Orange Côte d'Ivoire.

Cette signature prévoit l'intégration de « MTN » dans le nom de la ligue 1 et ligue 2, ainsi les « Ligue 1 Orange » et « Ligue 2 Orange » deviennent « MTN Ligue 1 » et « MTN Ligue 2 ». Tous les 14 clubs engagés dans le championnat de Ligue 1 devront obligatoirement floquer le logo du sponsor sur les manches des maillots et percevront en retour 20 millions de franc CFA soit à peu près . 18 millions de F CFA de plus seront versés aux clubs acceptant de floquer un autre logo, cette fois sur la poitrine. Mais pour cette proposition dépend de l'appréciation des clubs, car certains pourraient avoir des partenaires individuels qu'ils voudraient mettre en exergue sur leurs maillots. Mais à une condition : à part MTN Côte d'Ivoire aucun autre opérateur de téléphonie ne doit figurer sur les maillots, MTN ayant l'exclusivité du partenariat.

Autres sponsors
Certains clubs n'ayant pas accepté la « formule des 18 millions » de MTN-CI, possèdent leur propre sponsor comme l'ASEC Mimosas avec le Groupe SIFCA.

LONACI et la RTI, sont les autres sponsors du Championnat de Côte d'Ivoire de football 2008, la MTN Ligue 1 2008.

Partenaires et mécènes
Parmi les partenaires officiels de la ligue on compte : le groupe Bolloré, Côte d'Ivoire Télécom, la Société ivoirienne de raffinage, LONACI, PETROCI, la Banque nationale d'Investissement, Orange, Côte d'Ivoire Terre de Cacao et Côte d'Ivoire une tradition de Café. Les partenaires leaders sont la filière café-cacao à travers la FDPCC, la BCC, la FRC, l'ARCC, la FGCCC et MTN-CI.

Le Port autonome d'Abidjan (PAA) et la Radiodiffusion-Télévision ivoirienne (RTI) sont les principaux partenaires ayant signé des accords entre la Fédération ivoirienne de football (FIF) et la ligue professionnelle de football. La RTI est une fois de plus partenaire de la Ligue 1, c'est un partenaire historique du football ivoirien. En ce qui concerne le visuel avec notamment les chaînes La Première, TV2 et surtout RTI Sport TV, la RTI est un groupe audiovisuel important pour la MTN Ligue 1 grâce à la diffusion qu'elle permet sur l'étendue du territoire national. Étant sur le bouquet Canalsat Horizons, RTI Sport et RTI Première permettent la diffusion dans plus de 40 pays.

La SOGEPIE, la CIDT et l'ATCI sont des mécènes de la MTN Ligue 1.

This Almond Cake Recipe is from the Mrs Beaton 1887 Household management book.She has some great recipes in it, and lots of household tips on how to run a home in Victorian Britain 1887. I will be concentrating on the recipes from this book in my next posts. I hope you all enjoy them.
Ingredients–half a pound of sweet almonds, 1 oz of bitter almonds, 6 eggs, 8 tablespoonfuls of sifted sugar, 5 tablespoonfuls of fine flour, the grated rind of 1 lemon, 3 oz of butter.
Method—–Blanch and pound the almonds to a paste; separate the whites from the yolks of the eggs; beat the later, and add to the almonds. Stir in the sugar, flour, and lemon -rind; add the butter, which should be beaten to a cream; and when all these ingredients are well mixed, put in the whites of the eggs, which should be whisked to a stiff froth. Butter a cake mould, put in the mixture, and bake in a good oven from 1 to 2 hours.


The hawan, or the sacred fire, is symbolic of Agni - the Fire God, who represents Shakti (the universal power). Vedic texts pronounce fire as 'the mouth of all pujas'. It is through fire that our prayers are said to reach God. The Havan Samagri is very sacred and each item is significant.
Ingredients: Black til, Jo, 32 types of dhoop, Bhimseni kapoor, rose petals, sandalwood powder, lobaan, ghee, Agarbatti, chandan, and tumeric. Fragrant and natural.

Steve Hofstetter:
Hofstetter's national TV debut came on ESPN's Quite Frankly, where Stephen A. Smith yelled at him for three minutes. Hofstetter has also appeared on CBS' "Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson," Showtime's "White Boyz in the Hood," VH1's "Countdown," Sundance's "On the Road in America," and ABC's "Barbara Walter's Special," where he thankfully did not cry. Having appeared on networks from Boston to Miami to Denver, his local television appearances are too numerous to count, especially if you're using your fingers.
One of the top booked acts on the college circuit, the 29-year-old humorist also just released his third album and his third book. The book is titled "National Lampoon's Balls!" Thankfully, It's a sports book. Hofstetter has written humor columns for the New York Times, SportsIllustrated.com, and NHL.com, where he publicly admitted to being a Ranger fan.
After hosting Four Quotas on Sirius Satellite Radio for two seasons, Hofstetter moved to broadcast radio, and his Sports Minute (Or So) is currently syndicated on over 150 stations and in over 30 newspapers. Hofstetter's first live comedy album ("Cure For the Cable Guy") reached #20 on Billboard's comedy charts. His second album ("Dark Side of the Room") is the first ever pay-what-you-want" comedy album, since people were going to steal it anyway.
Hofstetter's brutal tour schedule consists of over 100 colleges and dozens of clubs every year, and is fueled by an immense online popularity, tons of press, and a Prius with great gas mileage. He reached 200,000 friends on Facebook and 400,000 more on MySpace, and high shelves in grocery stores.
Hofstetter was named one of Two Drink Minimum magazine's Best New Faces of 2004, which confuses him since he definitely had a face in 2003. And while Hofstetter's live shows are routinely sold out, he is best known for his writing, first published at age 15 (when he also had a face). At 18, he co-founded "Sports Jerk of the Week," an irreverent website featured by press like USA Today's Baseball Weekly, Sports Illustrated and CNN. And at 20, Hofstetter took a year off of school to head up web content for the New York Yankees. The Yankees won the World Series that year, which would have been wonderful if they hadn't beaten Hofstetter's Mets. He did not have a face that night.
While an undergraduate at Columbia University, Hofstetter was a well-read columnist for the Columbia Daily Spectator and a voice of the Lions. After a summer writing for Maxim, ESPN, and Sports Illustrated for Kids, Hofstetter turned his column into two books. The column gained popularity with syndication in several newspapers and websites, including collegehumor.com.


For a well-planned trip to Vienna, it helps to know a bit about its neighbourhoods. Each has its own character, and its own attractions, which will appeal to different visitors. Although there are far too many to provide a comprehensive guide, below you can find out more about the key districts in the Austrian capital, and what you can expect to find there.
The capital has a total of 23 districts that roughly spiral out from the centre. The central group of districts are where many of the famous tourist spots are, and they're numbered from 1 to 9. Almost all of these lie within the Gürtel (Belt Road).
For years, this area was Vienna, but now it's known as the first district. The large number of historic buildings has received recognition from UNESCO's in its inclusion on their World Heritage List. St. Stephen's cathedral is the literal centre of Vienna, and from here you can walk around or get a tour in a horse-drawn carriage to see the sights.
Things to see: Hofburg Palace, the State Opera House, Rathaus (City Hall), the Austrian Parliament, the Burgtheater, the Natural History Museum, the Museum of Art History.
Places to eat: Figlmüller (for their famous schnitzel), Café Central (a traditional coffee house), and the two most famous places to eat sachertorte, Café Sacher and Demel.
Found between the Danube and the Danube Canal, Vienna's second district is dominated by the Prater, an enormous park. Here you can enjoy long walks and bicycle rides, eat at the restaurant or visit the planetarium or Madame Tussaud's. There's also an amusement park, which contains the iconic Riesenrad Ferris Wheel, a long-standing symbol of the city. In winter, the Prater is host to a market with live music, hot punch and delicious food.
Things to see: Karmeliterviertel, a former Jewish ghetto which now contains many synagogues and kosher bakeries; and Augarten, which contains a flak tower from WW2.
This area is often one of the first that foreign visitors will see, as it connects by rail to Vienna International Airport.
Wieden is a very trendy part of Vienna, boasting chic stores, cafes, and art galleries.
Although lacking in tourist sights, there's some beautiful architecture in the Art Noveau style (that Austrians call Jugendstil).
The location of Westbahnhof, the Western Railway Station, Neubau borders Mariahilf via Mariahilferstraße. It combines hip with history; you can find gorgeous boutiques, eclectic street art and multiple museums here.
This is the capital's smallest district, a mostly residential area where you can see a large number of former palaces from the 18th and 19th centuries.
This affluent district is home to the main parts of the University of Vienna, and many businesses.
District 13, Hietzing – approximately three-quarters of this district is classified as greenspace. It's the location of Schönbrunn Palace, park and zoo; Lainzer Tiergarten, a nature reserve which was formerly the Emperor's private hunting grounds; and Hietzinger Cemetery (Hietzinger Friedhof), where the graves of many famous Viennese lie, such as Franz Grillparzer, Gustav Klimt and Otto Wagner. Cafés Dommayer and Gloriette are worth a visit.
Districts 16 and 17, Ottakring and Hernals – an oriental-style market takes place here, called Brunnenmarkt, which also hosts a farmer's market at the weekend. Turkish influence in the area provides indulgence in the form of delicious coffee and treats.
District 19, Döbling – one of the outer western districts which stretch out towards the Wienerwald, a former imperial hunting ground. Its oldest neighbourhood, Grinzing, is famous for its Heurige wine taverns.
District 22, Donaustadt – land use is a mixture of suburban and rural; places to visit are the United Nations Headquarters and the Danube Tower (Donauturm).
A little bit of knowledge about the city goes a long way to creating a vacation that's perfect for you. But wherever you are in Vienna, there's always plenty to see and do.


BrugadaDrugs.org is a non-profit initiative developed by physicians from the University of Amsterdam Academic Medical Center, department of Cardiology, in collaboration with a panel of world-renowned experts on Brugada syndrome as an aid to physicians who treat patients with Brugada syndrome and as an aid to patients with Brugada syndrome and their families with the goal to provide free, worldwide accessible and up-to-date information on safe drug use in Brugada syndrome.
Please read our request for donations to support this initiative.
This website is up to date through February 6th, 2019. The last drug update has been communicated on January 24, 2015, there are currently 2 new drugs under consideration.
Worldwide, the Brugada syndrome has been recognized as an important cause of sudden cardiac death at a relatively young age. However, many or most patients with Brugada syndrome are asymptomatic and will also not experience malignant arrhythmias. This knowledge base can result in a challenge for both physicians and patients. Brugada syndrome is diagnosed in the presence of specific electrocardiographic abnormalities (known as the type-1 Brugada syndrome ECG) combined with an absence of gross structural abnormalities and several other criteria. Furthermore, Brugada syndrome often shows familial aggregation. The presence of this type-1 ECG in particular has been linked to an increased risk for ventricular tachyarrhythmias, cardiac arrest and sudden death in Brugada syndrome patients. Importantly, many drugs have been reported to induce the type-1 ECG and/or (sometimes fatal) arrhythmias in Brugada syndrome patients. Therefore, it is necessary to advise patients with Brugada syndrome not to use these drugs, or to do so only in controlled conditions so that its potential pro-arrhythmic effect or the lack thereof can be documented and treated if necessary. This advice is also acknowledged in the latest (2013) guidelines for the treatment of inheritable arrhythmia syndromes (here).
In addition, we also advise to avoid these drugs in patients with a 'loss-of-function' sodium channel mutation who do not display a Brugada ECG pattern but who might also be at risk for untoward events when these drugs would be used.
It should be seriously considered to advise patients with Brugada syndrome to avoid drugs from the Red list (drugs to be avoided) because these drugs might result in arrhythmias, or to use these drugs only after extensive consideration and/or in controlled conditions. Drugs from the Orange list (drugs preferably avoided) have been associated with the appearance of the Brugada syndrome ECG and are therefore considered to be potentially proarrhythmic in patients with Brugada syndrome. However, this has not been documented clearly and some patients may benefit from these drugs for other reasons. Considering alternative drugs, administration in controlled conditions or close monitoring may be suitable. Please note that although the most appropriate treatment for Brugada syndrome patients is under discussion among experts, avoidance of (potential) proarrhythmic drugs and fever (a well known trigger of cardiac events in Brugada syndrome) is generally accepted to be an important part of (prophylactic) treatment. However, some patients may be appropriately treated with an implantable cardioverter defibrillator with or without ablation therapy. Furthermore, many Brugada syndrome patients seem to perform well on quinidine.
There are three consensus reports on the Brugada syndrome (Wilde et al. 2002, Antzelevitch et al. 2005 and Priori et al. 2013).
For Long-QT syndrome a similar website can be found at www.qtdrugs.org. This website is initiated by the Critical Path Institute, University of Arizona, to aid physicians who treat patients with Long-QT syndrome and lists drugs to be avoided by patients with Long-QT syndrome.
Drugs are listed with up to 4 common brand names. There are several brand names for many of the drugs, which are not all listed on the drug pages but we tried to collect all known brand names of the drugs on this page. It is always important to look at the active drugs in medicines that contain a combination of drugs.
Lists contain links to DrugBank or PubChem and also (several) PubMed links to articles on the association between the drug and Brugada syndrome.
The BrugadaDrugs.org Advisory Board provides consultation and aids in making decisions regarding these drug lists.
This site has been developed in close analogy to www.QTdrugs.org, a website initiated by the Critical Path Institute, associated with the University of Arizona, and currently known as CredibleMeds, to aid physicians who treat patients with Long QT syndrome.


Wine is nice until it is not.
Especially when the box is empty.
We don't bottle anything up.
Chaos created by a cardboard box.
Selling boxes of wine to minors with makeup.
It's only a minor offense to feed wine down our throats.
Makes a fool out of you.
I wear my body like a rust freckled mailbox that has held other people's secrets like a full journal, a finished book, but still an untold story.
Like shoes I believed would look good three years ago but they still sit in their original box.
I wear my stubbornness like a bullet proof vest woven from fear.
I wear my solitude like a tree that stands alone in the middle of a cornfield.
My imagination is a Red Wood.
I dance like wind-found branches.
I wear my steps like a drum.
I hold cymbals in my palms and they crash like my laugh holds the Grand Canyon in my lungs.
Maybe these people are Kum + Go.
Side of the road, South Dakota, and things didn't seem so wrong.
I drove city to city, no reason.
I stopped in Wyoming, no idea the state I was in.
Then traveled west towards Denver, excited goosebumps on my skin.
Quick to return and quick to leave.
My van took me up the mountainside as well as it took me down.
It took me wherever the steering wheel turned.
Heart and head, heavy sulking.
Loneliness had never felt so forced.
There's not enough of me out there.
I'll linger in her fingertips.
I'll rip her waves from my shore and cringe with greed.
I'll dance around her ankles and make sure she falls.
Bring me everything I don't need so I have a reason to scream.
Bring me open roads and closed toed shoes.
I'll flick her in the nose.
I'll learn to lick her melted heart like a lollipop.
I'll finish her sentences with bad intentions.
I'll wallow in her self-loathing.
I'll swallow myself whole in order to see that her insides are alive.
I'll judge the emptiness with a mountain-sized envy.
I'll treat her like a queen.
I'll greet her with clammy palms and dimpled cheeks.
I'll make my own knees weak so she doesn't have to be.
I'll be happy to meet her.
And mixed up faces I haven't seen before.
But never settled where I sit.
Around this table is a missed opportunity.
This scene is weird to me.
Or a four day road trip.


Dedicated to world peace and the betterment of human society, the United Nations was created through a charter in 1945 and established on October 24th of 1948. Each year on this day, the anniversary is celebrated around the world in more than 100 member countries to mark the global organization's efforts toward mitigating poverty, hunger, conflict and other worldwide challenges. This year, send a message of solidarity with their humanitarian aims with a peace lily.
Popular as houseplants and a perfect gift for yourself or others, the peace lily (Spathiphyllum cochlearispathum) is not a true lily, but rather a member of the tropical Arum family of plants native to parts of southern Mexico and Asia. Growing from a central rosette of glossy, green leaves, the unusual flowers of the peace lily are lovely and long lived. White "hoods" called spathes, similar to a calla lily, top long, green stems and partially surround a central, cylindrical flowering part called a spadix. This unique bloom can last for weeks at a time and can reach more than a foot or two in height. Even when not flowering, the long glossy leaves of the peace lily are a fountain of healthy, green growth that has been shown to improve indoor air quality while making a garden of any office or kitchen windowsill.
Peace lilies are easy plants to grow. Unlike us humans, very little water and food is required to keep them healthy and strong. They are the perfect plant for the busy person that sometimes has difficulty remembering to water plants, as they will droop and wilt to let us know when they are thirsty and spring right back up afterwards- no harm done. Not too picky about light, the peace lily does best in a room with natural light, but does not need to get direct sun and will do just fine in a room with a window or at least several good hours of artificial light. Long-lived, the peace lily will grow quite contentedly in a pot that may be a bit to small for it and can reach over two feet tall over time. Occasionally dusting the leaves and trimming back old growth can encourage faster growth and brighter lights can encourage flowering.
Unlike peace, which requires constant vigilance, the peace lily can be relatively ignored and still survive. It is easy to find, with most garden centers and florists caring several different sizes in stock year round.
