FRA - Champagne
Winery Tasting Notes
Vivid, brilliant deep pink, with complex blue-tinged and golden reflections. Fine bead.
Grand Vintage Rosé 2008 is a floral and fruity wine with floral notes of rose and hawthorn, with botanical nuances of boxwood and lime zest followed by fruity, fresh notes of raspberry, cherry and blood orange.
On the palate, the first impression is one of succulence and fullness, with notes of more mature fruits like strawberries and blackcurrants. Subsequently, the wine extends itself, underlain by a delicate, finely-wrought structure and taut acidity. The finish is invigorating, with a persistent note of grapefruit. Overall, the flavor profile is straightforward and precise.

Winery Profile
Champagne house producing the single most important champagne brand in the world, and part of the vast LVMH group. The Champagne house was founded by Claude Moët, born in 1683 to a family which had settled in the Champagne district during the 14th century. He inherited vineyards and became a wine merchant, establishing his own firm in 1743. He was succeeded by his son Claude-Louis Nicolas and his grandson Jean-Rémy Moët, who used his impressive connections to open up international markets for his wine. Jean-Rémy was a close personal friend of Napoleon Bonaparte, and was awarded the cross of the Légion d'Honneur in the final years of the emperor's rule. In 1832, Jean-Rémy handed over the firm to his son Victor and his son-in-law Pierre-Gabriel Chandon. At the same time, the company acquired the Abbey of Hautvillers and its vineyards. In 1962, Moët & Chandon's shares were quoted for the first time on the Paris Stock Exchange, leading to a period of considerable expansion. First, Moët bought shares in Ruinart Père et Fils, the oldest Champagne house, in 1963. Five years later, it acquired a 34 per cent stake in Parfums Christian Dior, increasing this to a 50 per cent stake shortly afterwards. In 1970, Moët took control of Champagne Mercier, a popular brand in France, and capped it all by buying out Dior and merging with Hennessy in 1971 to form the holding company Moët Hennessy. The acquisitions continued unabated, including, in 1981, a stake in the American importers Schieffelin, which incorporated a 49 per cent share in H. Sichel Söhne in Germany, producers of Blue Nun, until the Sichel family bought it back in 1992. At one stage this American investment also involved the Simi winery in Sonoma, Moët having established Domaine Chandon, a seminal sparkling California wine-making establishment in the Napa Valley, in 1973.
This was by no means the company's first venture into the New World. Bodegas Chandon was established in Argentina in 1960, and Provifin, now Chandon do Brasil, followed in 1974, both companies making considerable amounts of wine for the domestic market, much of it sparkling. In Germany, too, a sekt business had been established in the form of Chandon GmbH in 1968. In 1985, the group founded Domaine Chandon, Australia, to make a premium sparkling wine sold as Domaine Chandon in Australia and Green Point in the UK, and in 1987 established a company in Spain for the production of a cava although the winery and vineyard associated with Masía Chandon were subsequently sold to Freixenet.
In 1987, Moët Hennessy merged with the Louis Vuitton Group, makers of luxury leather goods and then owners of Champagne houses Veuve Clicquot, Canard-Duchêne, and Henriot, and Givenchy perfumes. The LVMH group's composition continues to evolve but in 2005 it owned five Champagne houses: Moët & Chandon, Mercier, Ruinart, Veuve Clicquot, and Krug (having once also owned Pommery, and Lanson briefly while stripping it of its extensive vineyard holdings before selling it on). Of these, Moët & Chandon and Mercier are run most closely in tandem.
Moët, the brand, continues to sell at over twice the rate of its nearest competitors and claims that one in four bottles of Champagne exported comes from the house. It is the leading brand of champagne in most world markets with a share of the champagne market in the United States that can be as high as 50 per cent.
The house prestige cuvée is named after Dom Pérignon, the legendary figure of the Abbey of Hautvillers, and broke new ground in terms of packaging, pricing, and qualitative ambitions when it was launched in 1928.

Let's focus on the top 10 amazing features of the brand new 2020 Ford Explorer.
2.	Active park assists 2.0- previously the ford models could park themselves either in parallel or perpendicular directions only. However, in this new model the car will do all the things on its own starting from braking, accelerating to shifting as well. The driver just has to press a button, and the car will do the necessary movements to park itself. Unfortunately, there is no option where the driver can stand outside the car and watch it park itself.
3.	Smart rear seat belts- this car comes with innovatively designed rear belts which are devoid of any inflated air bags which created an uncomfortable situation. The care has digressive load limiting front seat belt pre-tensioners which control the second seat as well.
4.	Innovative seats- all the seats come with eight-way adjustable modes along with a heater and cooler options to incorporate in your seats; also it provides five massage options as well.
5.	Cleaner for rear view camera- the car comes with inbuilt washing system which automatically washes the rear view mirror making the whole experience extremely convenient.
6.	Automatic emergency braking- the automatic emergency braking is an essential element of the car. The company has especially emphasized on incorporating this element in the car thinking about the road safety of their clients. This braking feature stops the car immediately before a collision starts or if any such probability arises.
7.	LED headlights- a clear view in front of the road while driving is a necessity, it is one of the most essential factors in road safety measures. LED lights help in providing bright luminous light during the night hours.
8.	Manageable steering wheel- the steering wheel helps in maintaining the posture and alignment of the car in crosswinds.
9.	Fuel efficiency- this car possesses a smart feature of covering the longest possible distance by spending a limited amount of fuel.
10.	Environment safety conscious- since this car spends a limited amount of fuel the automobile smoke production is really less compared to any other model of Ford. This is a huge step taken by the company in the contribution of maintaining the environment to stay safe and pure. Air pollution is a massive concern in current situations happening due to the increment in the exhaustive smoke in the air; one of its primary sources is of course automobiles. Hence the company despite incorporating such upgraded features in the car they have made sure it creates the least possible pollution to the environment.
•	Noise cancelling glass to keep a quiet environment.
•	The torque of 380-pound-feet.
•	More space for passenger and cargo.
Pricing of 2020 Ford Explorer.
The starting price of the car is $37,765. This extends up to $58,250. The company also brought up a few limited editions which were even more expensive.
Considering all of its pros it can be said that the car is quite worth the money one spends on buying it. It has got every aspect which will make anybody's driving experience smooth and effortless. This is an extremely good choice for beginner drivers since it possesses all sorts of fantastic auto features. Like the auto parking feature, a beginner driver will know the struggle they face while parking so this feature will definitely ease that pain as well.

Q: How to target more than one element while using operators for an onclick event Here I would like to target more than one element for an onClick event while also disabling all buttons apart from the one that has been clicked.
So far I have this:
 $("#elementone", "elementtwo, #elementthree").on('click', function(){
              if($(this).is(':checked')){
       $('#elementone, #elementtwo, #elementthree').attr('disabled', true);
   }
});

The code below does what I want however I was hoping there would be a more elegant way to achieve this?
$("#elementone").on('click', function(){
              if($(this).is(':checked')){
       $('#elementtwo, #elementthree').attr('disabled', true);
   }
});

$("elementtwo").on('click', function(){
              if($(this).is(':checked')){
       $('#elementone, #elementthree').attr('disabled', true);
   }
});

$("#elementthree").on('click', function(){
              if($(this).is(':checked')){
       $('#elementone, #elementtwo').attr('disabled', true);
   }
});

A: Use class instead of id That is, place a class named "element" (or any other valid class name) on the three buttons. Then you can use:
var $elements = $('.element');
$elements.click(function() {
    if ($(this).is(':checked')) {
       $elements.not(this).prop('disabled', true);
   }
});

Notes:

*

*The call to .not(this) removes the currently clicked button from the set.

*You should also use .prop(), instead of .attr() to disable the buttons.

*If these are <input type="checkbox"> elements, it would be better to use the change event, instead of the click event.

A: $("#elementone,#elementtwo,#elementthree").on('click', function(){
    var clickedId = $(this).attr("id"),
        selectors = {
            elementone: "#elementtwo,#elementthree",
            elementtwo: "#elementone,#elementthree",
            elementthree: "#elementone,#elementtwo"
        },
        selector = selectors[clickedId];

    if($(this).is(':checked')){
        $(selector).attr('disabled', true);
    }
});

Revenge evictions: 'We were evicted for complaining about a roof leak'
By Almara Abgarian
Image source, Alicia Powell
Alicia and her boyfriend complained about water damage in their home
Alicia Powell, 24, was renting a flat in north London with her boyfriend when she noticed a wet patch on the ceiling.
They complained to their property manager but nothing was done so they said they were going to report it to their local council.
That's when they were served with a section 21 notice - which allows landlords in England and Wales to evict renters without a reason once their tenancy has come to an end.
Housing campaign group Generation Rent wants section 21s to be scrapped.
It claims it allows landlords to take "revenge evictions" against renters who complain about problems in their homes.
Generation Rent says renters risk getting evicted if they complain about repairs
Councils have the power to inspect private properties and if they find a serious hazard they can take enforcement action against a landlord - which legally protects the tenant from being evicted for six months.
But Generation Rent claims that many local authorities don't have the resources to get out and inspect a property and it's leaving renters vulnerable.
Alicia says she complained to the council about her home and it carried out an inspection - but it said the problems weren't serious enough for it to intervene.
"It's quite a depressing situation, because a lot of us are faced with the prospect of at least a good few years of renting. There doesn't seem to be an end in sight.
"Rather than focusing on buying initiatives like Help To Buy, there needs to be more concentration on the renting situation and how best to support people who are vulnerable."
'I just wanted out of that house'
Image source, Lucy Bates
Lucy says her landlord would let herself into the house when no-one was there
Last year the charity Citizens Advice found that tenants who complained about issues in their home were statistically more likely to get evicted.
Lucy Bates, 21, also had problems getting repairs done by her landlord after complaining of mould in her bedroom.
"The landlord said the mould was my fault and that I was going to have to clean it myself," she tells Newsbeat.
"She also said that if the mould damaged the paint, I'd have to pay for that."
Lucy's solicitor sent a letter to her landlord to try to get something done.
But the landlord refused to fix the issue and instead asked the tenants to move out four months before the end of their lease agreement.
"At that point it had created such a strain on my mental health that I didn't care, I just wanted out of that house," Lucy said.
'Stop this sort of bullying'
A section 21 can be used once an assured shorthold tenancy comes to an end
Dan Wilson Craw, director of Generation Rent, wants section 21s to be abolished so that tenants can feel secure when renting.
"Getting rid of section 21 would stop this sort of bullying and the practice of revenge evictions," he said.
"Another thing we want to see alongside that is limits on rent increases, because that's another tactic that landlords can use to intimidate tenants into not complaining.
"There are people who are putting up with really bad conditions because they are scared of an eviction notice or the rent going up."
The National Landlords Association says many local authorities lack the funds needed to help tenants.
Chris Norris, director of policy and practice, said: "We all want a private rented sector rid of the kind of rogue operators who would rather evict someone than make a repair.
"Local authorities are responsible for enforcing against these landlords, however they often don't have the funding in place to effectively do so."
He also says some landlords rely on section 21s because it's harder to get their properties back through a section 8 possession notice.
A section 8 means the renter has broken the terms of their tenancy - for example not paying rent - and sometimes involves landlords spending money taking action in court if the tenants refuse to leave.

What is true, more than ever, is that entertainment brands and franchises can, and certainly should, exist cross-platform. The rise of Netflix's effortless cross-platform UX illustrates what a frictionless content expertise ought to appear like. Consumers' insatiable urge for food for being entertained is on the rise but conversely the amount of down time by which they must devour new content is smaller than ever. Not only does at current's consumer dwell a busier life, they are inundated with seen stimulation by the mini pc that not often leaves their hand. The expansion of the cellular gaming business is an ideal illustration of satisfying downtime with new, simple to entry, addictive formats.
Apart from sports activities that have world-broad enchantment and competitions, such because the Olympic Games , the entertainment price of a sport depends upon the tradition and nation the place individuals play it. For example, inside the United States, baseball and basketball video games are widespread types of entertainment; in Bhutan, the nationwide sport is archery; in New Zealand, it's rugby union ; in Iran, it is freestyle wrestling Japan's distinctive sumo wrestling accommodates ritual parts that derive from its prolonged historic previous. 141 In some cases, such because the worldwide operating group Hash Home Harriers , participants create a mix of sport and entertainment for themselves, largely impartial of spectator involvement, where the social part is additional necessary than the competitive.

Mexicans? Digital platforms equivalent to Douban – a quintessentially Chinese language fusion of Amazon, IMDB and Fb – permit artists of all stripes to congregate as a digital neighborhood and entice a mass following. We used to go inside theatres after a tough day's work to relax and see our favourite performs.


Nelson @ Chinese Restaurant at Hwy 7 and West Beaver Creek: Unfortunately I was a little late to Carol's dinner reception because of softball playoffs (top 4 out of 51 teams, what a great run!). Luckily, the guys saved me some shark fin soup and a shrimp ball. Other dishes include chicken with shrimp chips, vegetables and mushroom (I like this one), fish (not pictured), lobster, noodles/fried rice and Chinese desserts. I was at a table full of Chinese people, but either they were lazy eaters or didn't like real Chinese food, so I got a lot of lobster and red bean dessert soup (not pictured) to myself! Yay! The speeches were touching, entertainment fun and food yummy, making for a touching, fun and yummy evening!


The Children's Bookshow is a national tour of some of the best writers, illustrators and storytellers of children's literature, from the UK and abroad. It takes place each autumn during Children's Book Week and beyond, and visits theatres nationwide, from the Queen Elizabeth Hall at the Southbank Centre to the People's Theatre in Newcastle.
Alongside the tour in theatres, the Children's Bookshow runs a series of schools workshops in the same towns and cities, where the writers on the tour work with children taking part. Each child in a workshop gets a free signed copy of one of the writer's books to take home.
The Children's Bookshow is a non-profit organisation funded by Arts Council England, charities such as the Unwin Trust and the Marsh Christian Trust, publishers ranging from Penguin to Quercus, and cultural institutions and embassies such as the Embassy of Sweden and box office income.
Here founder and organiser Sian Williams describes the work and excitement of The Children's Bookshow for Books for Keeps, and highlights the impact that taking part has on children.
This year The Children's Bookshow is celebrating its tenth birthday, a remarkable achievement. Talking to children and teachers I've met on the current tour demonstrates over and over the impact attending the events has on children. One teacher I spoke to in Bexhill – her school has been coming to Bookshow performances for the last three years – described the Bookshow's value as 'inestimable'. Not only does having a workshop or attending a performance stimulate writing and reading in the classes, there's a ripple effect throughout the entire school, as the excitement generated by the experience of meeting a real writer or illustrator sets all the children talking about it.
These words were written on an enormous placard made at home by pupil Daisy Scudder of Battle and Langton Primary School, Battle after she attended a workshop with Cneut last year. I watched as Daisy presented the banner, complete with sturdy pole, to Carll at his performance this year!
Contact with authors from overseas.
I firmly believe that it's vital for children to have experience of other cultures: it broadens their horizons; extends their reading; and, we hope, leads to greater understanding and acceptance of other people's customs, religions and traditions.But most of all, it gives the gift of great literature from all around the world to the children.
After ten years of The Children's Roadshow I have many special memories! Here are some particularly memorable moments. We paired Quentin Blake and Matthew Sweeney at the Southbank Centre in London, where Matthew read his poems and Quentin then illustrated them on a doc-cam. After a while, Quentin asked Matthew if he'd like to do it the other way round. Matthew agreed, and Quentin sketched an old woman, fishbone for a feather in her hat. Matthew stood deep in thought for a moment or two, and then came out with a complete, perfect poem. The audience roared their applause and stamped their feet!
At the De La Warr Pavilion in Bexhill last year, Alexis Deacon – playing a sort of version of Anthony Browne's Shape Game – began to draw what the children immediately recognised would be Alexis' most popular character, Beegu. The 750 children in the audience began murmuring 'Beegu, Beegu', a chant which grew in intensity, like fans cheering on their team at a football match, until the appearance of the title page on the screen on stage drew instant silence and Alexis began to tell the story.
Each year we have increased our audiences and now achieve capacity audiences in almost every venue, in theatres ranging in size from 400 at the New Wolsey in Ipswich to 900 at the Queen Elizabeth Hall in London.
Equally important has been our success in achieving these audiences for writers and illustrators totally unfamiliar to the teachers attending, whether it's Anushka Ravishankar from India, Grégoire Solotareff from France, Kazumi Yumoto from Japan or Carll Cneut from Belgium, to name just a few artists celebrated internationally, but virtually unknown here.
Most of all, however, we're proud of the fact that we give all the children in a schools workshop a free signed copy of one of the writer's or illustrator's books to take home. For some children, this might be the only book they'll ever own. We hope then that the combination of schools workshop, performance, and free book will have an importance in the child's life long after the Bookshow has left town.
Plans for next year include championing a new poet Rachel Rooney, winner of the Centre for Literacy in Primary Education Poetry Prize 2012; and a brilliant writer from Italy, Fabio Geda, whose book In the Sea There Are Crocodiles has recently been published in paperback by David Fickling. We're also planning a project in libraries in the Spring in North Devon and Somerset, in addition to the autumn tour.
And for the decade after that, we'd like to raise sufficient funds so that every child attending a Bookshow performance also has the chance to attend a free schools workshop and take home their own signed copy of the writer or illustrator's book.
I'm very proud of the fact that we're championing only the best. Some of the writers and illustrators we work with are instantly recognised, whilst others are not known in this country at all. Over the years the teachers we have worked with have grown to trust our judgement and are now happy to book for events with authors or illustrators they have not heard of before. This year almost all of our shows were sold out, most of them by the end of the summer term. By the end of the tour we shall have reached approximately 7000 children.
Working with artists in the UK ranging from storyteller Daniel Morden to Michael Rosen, Quentin Blake and Judith Kerr, and from abroad from Tomi Ungerer to Ulf Stark and Gunilla Bergström, we've always sought out the best of children's literature in the last ten years, and we'll continue to maintain this standard for the next.

Transform faults form major active plate boundaries and are intrinsic features of plate tectonics and plate accretion. Submarine transforms are likely to be fundamental pathways for fluid circulation in depth, thus significantly contributing to the exchange between the lithosphere and the hydrosphere. This implies serpentinization and weathering that affect the mechanical properties in the deformation zone. An open question is the influence of the elemental exchange between the crust and ocean water on these processes, as well as the interactions with the biosphere, both at the surface and at depth. Continental transforms and strike-slip faults are often a site of major earthquakes, representing major hazards for the population. Here too, the role of weathering in the deformation zone is still unconstrained. Both types of faults are still poorly known in terms of structure, rheology and deformation. These features are seismically active zones, with large earthquakes often being recorded on the largest faults. Yet, little is known about the rupture process, seismic cyclicity and active deformation of transform faults. Recent works have shown that fracture zones, supposedly inactive features, can be reactivated and be the site of large earthquakes and deformation. Additional open questions are the way transform faults deform under far-field stresses, such as plate kinematic changes, and under more local stresses, what are the time constants of the processes and what are the primary controls of the tectonic and magmatic styles of the response. The tectonic and magmatic response of large offset transforms, particularly, is still largely unknown.
This session aims to present recent results on studies of these large features, especially on the rheology, deformation patterns, rupture processes, fluid circulation and physical properties of transform faults. We welcome observational studies on strike-slip and transform faults, both continental and oceanic, on fracture zones and on transform continental margins (structural geology and tectonics, geophysical imaging of the crust and lithosphere, petrology and geochemistry, seismology, fluid circulation and rock alteration, geodesy) as well as modelling studies, both analogue and numerical. Cross-disciplinary approaches are encouraged. The submission of abstracts divulging on-going international projects (drilling sites, seismic reflection imaging along strike-slip faults) are also welcome. This session is promoted by the Oceanic Transform Faults working group of InterRidge.
Three-dimensional mantle melt generation, migration, and extraction at the Quebrada-Discovery-GoFar fracture zones on the Southern East Pacific Rise.


Skarskård was the man in black at the "Hold the Dark" premiere.
The Toronto International Film Festival got a little dose of rock royalty on Wednesday.
The 29-year-old model-turned-actress arrived in a pale pink cut-out camisole dress by Louis Vuitton, alongside costar Alexander Skarsgård.
"Hold The Dark" is a Netflix thriller that features Keough as the mother of a boy who is believed to have been killed by wolves, who then enlists a retired naturalist to help her seek justice. The Alaska-set mystery takes a complicated turn when the boy's father (Skarsgård) returns home from Iraq.

Home / Donald Trump / foreign / Senate poised to pass bill ending Trump's border emergency; veto expected
Senate poised to pass bill ending Trump's border emergency; veto expected
by Funso Adekitan on March 15, 2019 in Donald Trump, foreign
The U.S. Senate on Thursday said it was poised to pass a proposal to terminate President Donald Trump's declaration of an emergency at the southern border.
Five Republican senators said they backed the measure passed in February by the U.S. House of Representatives, which is controlled by Democrats.
No fewer than four Republicans are needed to pass it in the 100-seat Senate, along with all 45 Democrats and two independents.
However, the measure is unlikely to become law given that a two-third vote of Congress is needed to override a presidential veto.
"We'll see whether or not I have to do the veto. And it will be, I think, all very successful, regardless of how it all works out," Trump told newsmen on Wednesday.
Vice President Mike Pence met with Republican senators this week to try to tamp down support for the measure, with some Republicans worried that future Democratic presidents could usurp the power of Congress to fund the government.
Some Republicans are also worried that future Democratic presidents might use the emergency declarations to fund their own pet programmes.
Pence told senators that Trump would back a second bill offered by Republican Senator Mike Lee, which would end future emergency declarations after 30 days unless Congress votes to extend them.
On Wednesday, Lee said the White House had subsequently made clear his bill did not have an immediate path forward.
He added that he would vote to end the emergency declaration.
Ticking clock may save Trump from impeachment
At stake are billions of dollars in funding for a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border that Trump is demanding but Congress has refused to fully provide.
The stalemate led to a 35-day partial government shutdown that ended in January.
Under the emergency declaration Trump signed on Feb. 15, he will take money from other federal programmes to build the barrier he says is needed to curb illegal immigration and drug trafficking.
Democrats have denied there is an emergency at the border, saying border crossings are at a four-decade low.
Court challenges have also been filed asserting it is Congress, not the president that decides how taxpayer money is spent. (Reuters/NAN)

Dr. Joan Navarre, Associate Professor, University of Wisconsin
From the moment of its publication in 1894, the English illustrated edition of Salomé by Oscar Wilde and Aubrey Beardsley has been controversial, with Beardsley bearing the brunt of the blame. Erotic details—openly portrayed—appeared to have nothing to do with Wilde's words. For more than 100 years, critics have debated whether the compositions really illustrate the text. This lecture explores the publishing history of the Wilde-Beardsley collaboration and sheds light on the responses (often resentful) of various readers, including the original publishers.

Passion and the Pre-Raphaelites: Rosanne Vita Nahass, piano
Noted for her fusing of music and the visual arts, pianist Rosanne Vita Nahass offers an impressive program that explores music created in the era of the Pre-Raphaelite artists and their pursuit of earthly passion and spirituality. The program includes two major works by Franz Liszt (the Funérailles, composed in the same year as the founding of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, 1849, and the 1853 Sonata in b minor) as well as works by Claude Debussy, Maurice Ravel, and Alexander Scriabin.
Barry Moser, Artist

Proudly serving West Bloomfield MI, Farmington Hills MI, Southfield MI, Troy MI, Novi MI, and surrounding areas.
It seems that home remodeling has become one of America's favorite pastimes. Even though the housing market may be in a downtrend, West Bloomfield remodeling continues to thrive as homeowners are staying put and deciding to remodel and renovate their home as opposed to moving. The average home is about 33 years old and with the nation's aging housing stock, West Bloomfield remodeling projects such as replacing windows and roofs are an ongoing necessity. But older home or new, West Bloomfield homeowners are adding, expanding, reconfiguring, and remodeling their homes more than ever. West Bloomfield remodeling is a big part of over 25 million U.S. homeowners undertaking some sort of home improvement project annually. Major remodeling projects now make up a large part of the money invested by homeowners. These include complete home remodeling, additions and kitchen upgrades.
When planning your home remodel, it's important to remember that certain West Bloomfield remodeling projects will add more value than some others. Usually kitchen, bath and bedroom upgrades or additions will show the greatest return for money invested should you decide to sell. If you decide to give your house a face-lift it's important to find the right remodeling contractor. Choosing the right remodeling jobs is important, and your West Bloomfield remodeling contractor should be able to help you with the jobs you should do to maximize the value of your home. Figuring out how to finance your West Bloomfield remodeling project takes some time. If you need to borrow money for a major West Bloomfield remodeling project, you should be aware that there are a number of ways to get the money you need. Don't over borrow and run the risk of eventually losing your home. You'll want to shop for a tax deductible loan with the lowest possible interest rates.
You need to develop a plan as well as a budget before you start any West Bloomfield remodeling project to make certain it is something you'll be able to afford. You'll have to decide if you need a loan and what type of loan will be best for you. Also check with a local West Bloomfield remodeling contractor to make certain you'll be able to get all the permits you'll need. It's true that a home remodeling project can be a trying time, but if you take the time to do a little research first and discuss everything with your West Bloomfield remodeling contractor, you'll find that your remodeling job can be a complete success.

Would You Transport Goods to Earn Extra Travel Cash?
Have you ever booked a flight that included baggage in the base fare, but you didn't need all of the baggage allowance for yourself? Have you ever wished there were a way to fly at a reduced rate for bags you aren't using, or have the opportunity to use the space for something else? If you are traveling between the United States and China or planning to do so in the future, then I highly recommend looking into using Airmule!
Based in Los Angeles and founded in 2015, Airmule has designed a trusted network between TSA, baggage carriers, and passengers. They currently support travel between the US and China, but they need you, the passenger, to make their business model work. By signing up as a courier with Airmule, you are able to use your extra luggage allowance to turn a profit for yourself.
How it works is simple: you register as a verified Airmule courier, you sell your extra baggage space to Airmule, and Airmule associates then meet you at your departure hall to deliver the pre-packed baggage to you. You will meet another Airmule associate at your arrival hall to deliver the baggage; you essentially act as the middle man for the transport of goods by air. All shipments are delivered by TSA-certified shippers, and you do have the right to inspect all packages before taking temporary responsibility for them.
So, what are the benefits? There are two different ways to act as a courier for Airmule. The first is to use Airmule Flights, which allows you to book a flight directly through the Airmule network. This way, your airfare will be substantially discounted (usually $300) but you can earn further discounts by selling more checked bag allowances, and you can keep your earned miles. The second way is to use Airmule Flex, which means you have already booked a flight but would still like to offer your extra luggage allowance. You can earn $150 per checked bag (up to $600 per roundtrip flight) and have the flexibility of choosing your flight, airline, seat, and keeping your miles.
So, is this a brand new concept? Not really. Turns out, FedEx and DHL have used couriers on commercial flights for ages, but Airmule is not sold out to a particular company which allows a broad degree of coverage. As well-connected and global as Airmule is, couriers can enjoy top notch security and insurance; especially since every package must meet rigorous TSA regulations. You can even apply to become a professional courier through Airmule!
Hopefully Airmule will soon be able to expand to a broader flight network than just a few flights between the US and China. In the mean time, though, Airmule is a simple way to make some extra cash if you are taking a qualifying flight and have some extra baggage allowance!
Would you consider transporting goods for someone for a little extra cash?
I never heard of it, but I keep it in mind.
So, what does the fact that they're TSA certified mean in practical terms? When asked if you have accepted any items from strangers, do you say yes, no, or something like "Yes but it's ok because they're cleared to pass stuff off to me"? Also, I like my Global Entry, and wouldn't want to imperil it. Would this put it at risk?


January birthdays come pretty quick after Christmas and in our family we have several.
I've had this stamp for awhile, but can't remember where it is from. (Thank you Catalina Laires – this image is from Purple Onion) I thought it made a great January birthday card.
I used my Copic markers to color the image, but forgot to keep track of the ones that I used.
I added some detail to the sweater using a white gel pen. I added some White Blizzard Nuvo drops to give the appearance of snow drops. I had some pretty blue pattern paper that looks like falling snow. It was the perfect background for my image. The sentiment is from another of my older stamp sets.
Those are stamps from Purple Onion Designs made by designer Stacy Yakula. I really like your coloring of these super cute stamps.
Thank you Catalina! I will update my blog with the brand name.
SNOW Awesome Nancee! I love it! Your coloring is amazing!

The GIMP interface needs to be more intuitive, cleaner, easier to manage and less convoluted
Registered by Brett Alton on 2007-06-13
The GIMP at it's present state (2.2.15/2.3.18 - 2007-06-13) is a powerful image manipulation program. However, The GIMP's interface is, as the name of the program, a gimp (or disability) in making the program the most powerful image manipulation program yet. Following the Ubuntu them of "Linux for Human Beings", I think these issues should be reviewed:
Problems for new users
* Lack of intuitive names (what do these mean to the average user?):
*** Script-fu
*** Xtns
+ if the Script-Fu menu contains pre-defined effects, why is it not under an 'effects' menu? Script-fu can still be used for the Script-fu console and used by advanced users
* Multiple windows/panels/dialogues cause a strain on multi-tasking users.
*** Jane has the following open: a music player, a browser, a chat client and two folders containing pictures and documents. She notices that one of her images is rotated incorrectly and opens the image in Gimp. The Gimp opens 4 more panels and makes her desktop extremely hard to navigate. She is unaware of plug-ins (because she figures the program should "just work", and doesn't use multiple desktops)
* Menus on too many panels
*** There should be one main menu "File, Edit, Select, View, Script-fu, etc." in the entire program. Why does the toolbar have one menu and the image holder has another. Can these be merged so that it changes for each image?
* Editing fonts is limited
*** Bold, italic, underline... all features that are non-existent or hard to find. You can't do desktop publishing in a program that doesn't support simple features such as those.
*** The "Tools Options" dialogue featuring the "add text to the image" tool is separate from the "Fonts" dialogue. When I open the "Fonts" dialogue I expect to be able to edit the text, but instead I can only choose the font, but I can already do this in "Tools Options". Why have this ambiguity?
* Tools should be on a separate dialogue and always present
*** The main tools in the main "The GIMP" dialogue should always be visible. Since it's a separate window, it disappears quite often, and the user constantly has to bring it back to focus (as well as EVERY OTHER PANEL THAT MINIMIZED). This limits productivity and should be included in my "The GIMP in one window argument"

Cartoonification, The New Trend Of 2012
by Pooky Amsterdam , December 29, 2011
Ask anyone you know who their favorite cartoon character is, and they will have an answer for you, possibly more than one. Cartoons and animation are a part of our lives, our visual entertainment, our early identity and frame of reference.
The rise of animation has also entered our living rooms in full force with the video games that people play. More than ever, people get behind an avatar, literally and figuratively, to spend hours inhabiting a character. 60 million+ hours have been spent playing "Star Wars: The New Republic" since its release this Dec 20 -- a staggering amount of time.
According to the Entertainment Software Association's (ESA) 2011 Essential Facts About the Computer and Video Game Industry, 72% of American households now play video games. The average gamer is 37 years old and has been playing for 12 years. It's a good demographic. The ability to be in the cartoon and run the action has become a mode for many -- all you need to earn that passport is an avatar. While we embody our avatars, giving them greater or lesser powers than we have on the other side of the small screen, we ask to be cartoonified in order to join in the activity.
A few years ago VodaPhone created "animated videos" of ZooZoo's -- an ad campaign developed by Ogilvy & Mather to convey different value-added services offered by the mobile phone company.
The videos, while they look animated, are made with people wearing costumes to look this way. Why wear a costume, though? Why not be a cartoon? Consider this as a definite trend for video as we reach into the new year.
Since YouTube's inception an amazing number of hours of video have been watched, and every year there is a Top 10 list. This year for the first time a cartoon has entered not only the Top 10 but the top 5. Nyan is a video game character that flies while you score for eating healthy foods. (That the cat has a Pop-tart body should be an alert to Kellogg.) This might be the nexus of game culture, cartoons and video.
The rise of inexpensive to produce engines such as Xtranormal, Stupeflix, or GoAnimate allows new technology to give rise to animation at the press of a button. It doesn't allow for spectacular graphics, needs good writing to make an impact, and shows a new direction in inexpensive animation platforms.
Whether your avatar is having fun or function is up to you -- when you begin recording that avatar in your virtual world or game, then you are becoming a part of a story and able to do or be a part of the grandeur that was Rome, the Middle Ages, or the far or near distant future.
The game engine platforms of video games and virtual worlds allow a 360-degree view of various, more-diverse environments. These scenes and environments will move more into the forefront of commercial activity as virtual assets also continue to grow. This trend allows marketing departments to take chances, and to offer something very special for small cost. This is a good example of game engine graphics coming of age.
And if someone wanted to start selling those Xtranormal teddy bears next Christmas on Amazon, I think there would be a market for them.

This leaflet answers some common questions about Ranihexal.
All medicines have risks and benefits. Your doctor has weighed the risk of you taking this medicine against the benefits they expect it will have for you.
If you have any concerns about taking this medicine, ask your doctor or pharmacist. Keep this leaflet with the medicine.
Peptic ulcers. Depending on the position of the ulcer it is called a gastric or duodenal ulcer. A gastric ulcer occurs in the stomach. A duodenal ulcer occurs in the duodenum which is the tube leading out of the stomach. These can be caused in part by too much acid being produced in the stomach. Ranihexal is also used to help stop these ulcers from coming back.
Reflux oesophagitis or reflux disease. This can be caused by "washing back" (reflux) of food and acid from the stomach into the food pipe, also known as the oesophagus. Reflux can cause a burning sensation in the chest rising up to the throat, also known as heartburn.
Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, a rare condition where the stomach produces very large amounts of acid, much more than in ulcers and reflux disease.
Scleroderma oesophagitis. Scleroderma is a rare condition, and in scleroderma oesophagitis the food pipe is abnormal and reflux occurs.
It contains the active ingredient ranitidine hydrochloride. Ranitidine hydrochloride belongs to a group of medicines called H2 antagonists or H2 blockers.
It works by decreasing the amount of acid made by the stomach. This helps to reduce the pain and also allows the ulcer and/or reflux disease to heal in most people.
There is no evidence that Ranihexal is addictive.
ranitidine, the active ingredient, or to any of the other ingredients listed at the end of this leaflet under Product description.
any condition where your immune system may be affected.
Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant or are breastfeeding.
If you have not told your doctor about any of the above, tell him/her before you start taking Ranihexal.
sucralfate, another medicine used to treat ulcers.
This medicine may be affected by Ranihexal or may affect how well it works. You may need different amounts of your medicines, or you may need to take different medicines.
The dosage of Ranihexal depends on the condition it is being used to treat. The usual adult dosage range is 150mg to 300mg per day, taken as one 150mg tablet once or twice a day or one 300mg tablet at bed time. The treatment of Zollinger-Ellison syndrome may require higher doses.
Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you are unsure of the correct dose for you.
They will tell you exactly how much to take.
Follow the instructions they give you.
If you take the wrong dose, Ranihexal may not work as well and your problem may not improve.
If you need to break Ranihexal, hold the tablet with both hands and snap along the break line.
It does not matter whether you take the tablets before or after food.
The duration of treatment with Ranihexal depends on the condition it is being used to treat.
Your pain or other symptoms may take a few days to go away. Take all the tablets your doctor has prescribed for you, even if you feel better.
Your doctor may decide to continue your treatment with Ranihexal, possibly at a different dosage range, in order to prevent the problem from coming back again.
Ranihexal has not been studied fully in children. However, it has been used successfully in children aged 8 to 18 years in doses up to 150mg twice daily. Your child's doctor will discuss the risks and benefits of your child taking Ranihexal.
Immediately telephone your doctor or the Poisons Information Centre (telephone 13 11 26) for advice, or go to Accident and Emergency at the nearest hospital, if you think that you or anyone else may have taken too much Ranihexal. Do this even if there are no signs of discomfort or poisoning.
Always follow your doctor's instructions carefully.
If you are about to be started on any new medicine, remind your doctor and pharmacist that you are taking Ranihexal.
Do not take Ranihexal to treat any other complaints unless your doctor tells you to.
Be careful driving or operating machinery until you know how Ranihexal affects you.
This medicine may cause dizziness or light-headedness in some people. If you have any of these symptoms, do not drive, operate machinery or do anything else that could be dangerous.
If you drink, alcohol dizziness or light-headedness may be worse.
Tell your doctor or pharmacist as soon as possible if you do not feel well while you are taking Ranihexal.
These are the more common side effects of Ranihexal. Mostly, these are mild and short-lived.
abnormal uncontrolled movements, muscle twitching or spasms.

Deportation – Green Card Holder Fights Back and Wins!
 Imagine falling in love with a U.S. citizen, getting married, living together, being approved by USCIS for a 2-year green card, then for a 10-year green card and following all the rules, only to be placed under deportation proceedings.
This happened to a man in Chicago in 2013. A man who came to the U.S. on temporary work visa, fell in love and married a U.S. citizen, earned an MBA, got a great job, pays his taxes and has no criminal record.
A Life Changing Law Firm
"My family and I were clients of Mr. Carl Shusterman and I can honestly say that he had a tremendous impact on our lives – a very positive one. Even when my parents had been denied and they had been told to pack and get out of this country, Mr. Shusterman rushed to find an alternative in order to ensure that my parents could stay."
- Diana Cabrera, Reno, Nevada
What Led to a Deportation Proceeding
It all started years ago when he (Let's call him "Arron".) signed an Affidavit of Support for a fellow countryman who was being sponsored for a green card through the U.S. citizen wife. Somehow, 2 ICE investigators got it into their heads that he was running an illegal ring using the identities of others to get green cards for immigrants.
The investigators tracked down Arron's ex-wife, and questioned her about the bona fides of their marriage. She told them the truth: They were in love. When he asked her to marry him, her father who was gravely ill told him that he could marry his daughter only if he agreed to care for her for the rest of her life. Arron promised him that he would do so. They married and lived with each other. However, several years later, she developed a relationship with another man causing her and Arron to go their separate ways.
The investors told her that Arron was using her identity to fraudulently obtain green cards for immigrants. She was shocked. This was not the Arron she knew. Were they telling her the truth? Then they told her that if she did not cooperate with them, she would be charged and convicted of a felony, and could spend time behind bars.
In a panic, she told them that they had not lived together 100% of the time since she was commuting back and forth taking care of her dying father, but still living with her husband. Not good enough said the investigators. You are not cooperating fully with us, and you will be charged with a crime. They had her revise her affidavit time and time again until it read that although they were in love, they never lived together.
Although Arron has never been charged with committing a crime, the agents had him placed in deportation proceedings on the grounds that his marriage was not bona fide. That was almost 5 years ago.
Hiring a Deportation Attorney
Arron hired an immigration attorney. The attorney spoke with Arron's ex-wife who told her that she had been pressured into saying that they never lived together. Her father knew about their marriage as did her step-mother. They submitted affidavits, photos, extensive financial records, leases, tax returns and identity documents all showing that they did live together and that their marriage was bona fide. Their attorney submitted these to the Immigration Judge, but due to lengthy government backlogs, Arron could not get a deportation hearing to prove his innocence.
Not only did Arron's job required travel abroad, but his own father who lives abroad came down with a deadly disease. He needed to travel outside the U.S., but his attorney advised him not to do so. He did so anyway.
When he returned to the U.S., the officers at the airport took his green card and swapped it with an I-94 Arrival/Departure Record with the form number for a green card ("I-551") written on it. Though the officer assured him that it was okay for him to travel abroad with this form, the next time he did, he was held at the airport for over 6 hours before he was allowed to enter the U.S.
At this point, Arron asked a question about his situation on www.avvo.com and I responded. He retained our law firm to represent him.
We got him a replacement green card and requested that the Immigration Court in Chicago expedite his deportation hearing. The Court granted our request.
Deportation Hearing
In April 2019, I flew to Chicago to accompany him at his deportation hearing. His ex-wife flew in from Colorado to testify under oath that their marriage was bona fide and that she had been pressured into stating that they had never lived together.
Although the deportation hearing was scheduled for 3pm, we decided to arrive at 1pm in case the Judge completed her prior hearing early. However, the Court Clerk informed us that the prior hearing would be a lengthy one and that our hearing would have to be postponed.
What a disaster!
Having waited almost 5 years for a hearing before a Judge, and paid for me to fly in to Chicago, Arron was not going to get a chance to prove his innocence that day. What would happen to his job and would he ever be able to see his father again?
I called ICE and the clerk agreed to send an ICE attorney to speak with me. I explained the situation and asked the attorney whether another Judge could hear the case. Unfortunately, no other Judges were available. She called the Judge's Court Clerk and we learned that it looked like a settlement might be reached in the prior case. If so, the Judge might be able hear Arron's case that afternoon.
What a relief!
I poked my head into the Courtroom a little after 2pm. The only person there was the ICE Attorney assigned to our case. I introduced myself, and asked if we could discuss the case before the Judge entered the Courtroom. She informed me that her witness was unavailable that day, and that she planned to ask the Judge to postpone the hearing until her witness could testify. My heart sank.
Then, the Judge entered the Courtroom and greeted both of us. She asked me whether Arron had any qualifying relatives for a waiver of a misrepresentation under section 237(a)(1)(h) of the Immigration and Nationality Act. I informed her that he was the father of a U.S. citizen daughter.
Waiver of Deportation
The Judge explained that although she was convinced that Arron's marriage to his ex-wife was bona fide, she was skeptical whether they were still living together 2+ years later when his I-751 petition was granted. However, if we could meet the requirements for the waiver, she was prepared to let Arron keep his green card.
I was very excited. We like to plan ahead for our clients, and Attorney Jennifer Rozdzielski of our office had prepared a motion for just such a waiver of deportation in case the Judge ruled that there was a misrepresentation. I submitted the motion to the Judge and gave a copy to the ICE Attorney.
I called Arron to the witness stand. He testified about his loving relationship with his former wife and how they had lived together. He then told us about earning his MBA degree in the U.S., his occupation, his extensive charitable work and his good moral character. The ICE Attorney and the Judge each asked him a few questions.
When the Immigration Judge granted his waiver of deportation and the ICE Attorney did not appeal, I thought that Arron was going to break down and cry.
Outside the courtroom, Arron, his ex and I all hugged each other. The next day, when I read the review which Arron wrote on Avvo, I was immediately reminded of why being an immigration attorney is so satisfying to me:
"I had a very complex situation and I previously hired other attorneys to work on my case but nobody was able to not only to solve it but even to get a hearing date. When I reached out to Carl I knew that this is the right attorney for my case. I worked with both, Carl and Jennifer to prepare for my case. I am thrilled with their honesty and integrity and the way they treated me. Carl came to Chicago and we were told that my individual hearing will be postponed. Carl took ownership of the issue and prevented this nonsense. At the hearing, Carl used his extensive knowledge and creative mindset and terminate the proceedings in about 45 minutes. My advice to all immigrants that are facing immigration challenges is: TALK TO CARL!!!"
Arron has hired us to prepare an application for him to become a naturalized citizen of the United States. He is honest, hardworking and will continue to make a great contribution to our country!


A recent forecast from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has predicted that there will be major flooding in the North Central region of the United States this spring for the third consecutive year.
There are a number of areas where the flooding is predicted to be at its worst; The Red River of the North which lies along the state lines of North Dakota and Northwest Minnesota is one of the main areas that will be affected, specifically Fargo and North Forks (ND) which currently have a 95% chance of exceeding their respective major flood stages. Furthermore, if the flooding is as bad as expected then parts of downtown Fargo will also be affected and temporary dikes will need to be erected to combat the effects of the flooding.
Other affected areas will be the immediate areas surrounding the James River and the Big Sioux River in South Dakota and also the area around the Upper Mississippi River in Minnesota. The NOAA have suggested that the flooding may even exceed the major flood stage of 17 feet in St Paul, Minnesota where it will breach the secondary flood walls which are designed to protect St Paul airport.
The reason for the higher rate of flooding is due to a culmination of various events. The majority of the ground in the north-central United States has become frozen and covered with snow after the winter months and once combined with below-average temperatures and above average amounts of rainfall for February, it could pose major problems. In March and April, as the temperatures rise, the snow will begin to melt whilst at the same time the ground will thaw out creating excess water, this will then run into rivers and streams in the area causing them to swell.
In preparation for the likely hood of spring flooding, agents from the National Weather Service have been working closely with United States and Canadian agencies to try and get a head start on combating the effects of the floods. The NOAA have also released their own flood safety tips available on their website.

U.K.'s top cop calls for government to legislate police use of AI
Britain's most senior police officer on Monday called on the government to create a legal framework for police use of new technologies such as artificial intelligence. Speaking about live facial recognition, which police in London started using in January, London police chief Cressida Dick said that she welcomed the government's 2019 manifesto pledge to create a legal framework for the police use of new technology like AI, biometrics and DNA.
"The best way to ensure that the police use new and emerging tech in a way that has the country's support is for the government to bring in an enabling legislative framework that is debated through Parliament, consulted on in public and which will outline the boundaries for how the police should or should not use tech," Dick said.
"Give us the law and we'll work within it," she added.
Dick rejected evidence that facial recognition algorithms are racially discriminatory in that their accuracy rates vary depending on the skin color of the person they detect.
"We know there are some cheap algorithms that do have ethnic bias but, as I've said, ours doesn't and currently the only bias in it is that it shows it is slightly harder to identify a wanted woman than a wanted man," she said.

Q: Remove old Fragment from fragment manager I'm trying to learn how to use Fragments in android.
I'm trying to remove old fragment when new fragment is calling in android.

A: I had the same issue to remove old fragments. I ended up clearing the layout that contained the fragments.
LinearLayout layout = (LinearLayout) a.findViewById(R.id.layoutDeviceList);
layout.removeAllViewsInLayout();
FragmentTransaction ft = getFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
...

I do not know if this creates leaks, but it works for me.

A: Probably you instance old fragment it is keeping a reference. See this interesting article Memory leaks in Android — identify, treat and avoid
If you use addToBackStack, this keeps a reference to instance fragment avoiding to Garbage Collector erase the instance. The instance remains in fragments list in fragment manager. You can see the list by
ArrayList<Fragment> fragmentList = fragmentManager.getFragments();
The next code is not the best solution (because don´t remove the old fragment instance in order to avoid memory leaks) but removes the old fragment from fragmentManger fragment list
int index = fragmentManager.getFragments().indexOf(oldFragment);
fragmentManager.getFragments().set(index, null);

You cannot remove the entry in the arrayList because apparenly FragmentManager works with index ArrayList to get fragment.
I usually use this code for working with fragmentManager
public void replaceFragment(Fragment fragment, Bundle bundle) {

    if (bundle != null)
        fragment.setArguments(bundle);

    FragmentManager fragmentManager = getSupportFragmentManager();
    FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction = fragmentManager.beginTransaction();
    Fragment oldFragment = fragmentManager.findFragmentByTag(fragment.getClass().getName());

    //if oldFragment already exits in fragmentManager use it
    if (oldFragment != null) {
        fragment = oldFragment;
    }

    fragmentTransaction.replace(R.id.frame_content_main, fragment, fragment.getClass().getName());

    fragmentTransaction.setTransition(FragmentTransaction.TRANSIT_FRAGMENT_FADE);

    fragmentTransaction.commit();
}

A: You need to find reference of existing Fragment and remove that fragment using below code. You need add/commit fragment using one tag ex. "TAG_FRAGMENT".
Fragment fragment = getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentByTag(TAG_FRAGMENT);
if(fragment != null)
    getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction().remove(fragment).commit();

That is it.

A: I had the same issue. I came up with a simple solution. Use fragment .replace instead of fragment .add. Replacing fragment doing the same thing as adding fragment and then removing it manually.
getFragmentManager().beginTransaction().replace(fragment).commit();

instead of
getFragmentManager().beginTransaction().add(fragment).commit();

A: I had issue with  fragment onBackPress. I didn't want to return to old fragments.
This solution worked for me to remove old fragments from fragment manager :
FragmentManager fm = getSupportFragmentManager();
fm.popBackStack(null, FragmentManager.POP_BACK_STACK_INCLUSIVE);

You can also use an if block like this :
FragmentManager fm = getSupportFragmentManager();

if (fm.getBackStackEntryCount() > 0) {
    fm.popBackStack(null, FragmentManager.POP_BACK_STACK_INCLUSIVE);
}

A: In Kotlin
  val fragList  = f.supportFragmentManager.fragments
    for (fragment in fragList) {
        f.supportFragmentManager.beginTransaction().remove(fragment).commit()
    }

A: I was facing the same error with few views so I set the visibility of reductant views as GONE. This method solved my issue as charm.
<View>.setVisibility(View.GONE);

Pedro de Peralta (c. 1584 – 1666) was Governor of New Mexico between 1610 and 1613 at a time when it was a province of New Spain.
He formally founded the city of Santa Fe, New Mexico in 1610.  In August 1613 he was arrested and jailed for almost a year by the Franciscan friar Isidro Ordóñez. Later, he was vindicated by the Mexican Inquisition and held a number of other senior posts in the Spanish imperial administration.

Background

The settlement of New Mexico began when Juan de Oñate led a group of colonizers into the territory in 1598, serving as governor from 1601 until 1609.
By 1608, there were only 200 Spanish people, almost all in the capital of San Gabriel on the west bank of the Rio Grande opposite San Juan Pueblo.
No gold or silver had been found and the viceroy was receiving reports of mistreatment of the Indians and of near-starvation of the settlers.  Due to these problems, on 13 September 1608 the Council of the Indies made a formal recommendation that New Mexico be abandoned. However, soon afterwards, Fray Lázaro Jiménez brought news from New Mexico that 7,000 Indians had been converted and baptized. They could not be abandoned, so King Philip III of Spain suspended the order to evacuate the colony.

Governor of New Mexico

According to one source, Don Pedro de Peralta was a bachelor of canon law. A report of possessions found in his house after his arrest includes a law book.
Peralta was appointed governor of New Mexico by the Viceroy, Luis de Velasco, marqués de Salinas on 31 March 1609, shortly after Peralta had arrived from Spain.
Juan de Oñate had asked Velasco for compensation for his efforts in New Mexico, and asked that his son Christóbal be allowed to succeed him. Valasco replied that he had named Peralta as governor, and that Onate should hand over to him when he arrived at the Rio Grande and should then return with his son to Mexico City without delay.
An expedition with supplies and reinforcements left for the north late in 1609.
Peralta reached the capital, La Villa de San Gabriel, early in 1610.
He was met by Oñate, who left for the south in early February to face charges of maladministration.
Peralta brought twelve soldiers and eight Franciscan priests with him.
His instructions included searching for the Straits of Anián, on which he should establish a secure port.

San Gabriel was remote from the main Pueblo Indian population centers.
Juan de Oñate had planned to move the capital south to the Santa Fe River valley.
Peralta selected a defensible site with ample available land and a good water supply for the town, which he called Santa Fe.
He and his surveyor laid out the town, including the districts, house and garden plots and the Santa Fe Plaza for the government buildings.
These included the governor's headquarters, government offices, a jail, arsenal and a chapel.
On completion, the plaza could hold "1,000 people, 5000 head of sheep, 400 head of horses, and 300 head of cattle without crowding."
The palace was built for defense with three-foot-thick adobe walls.
The Palace of the Governors is now the oldest continuously occupied building in the United States, and as of 1999 housed the Museum of New Mexico.

The church assumed that the main objective in New Mexico was to convert the Indians, and the civil power existed only in order to provide protection and to support this goal. As chief magistrate and head of the army, the governor had equal powers but different objectives, so clashes were inevitable.
The church argued that the friars had a duty to protect the Indians from abuses by the military and civilians.
Perhaps to weaken the church position, Peralta issued strict regulations that imposed imprisonment for ten days by the civil authority for any Spaniard found guilty of abusing an Indian worker. A fine was also payable to the victim.  This resulted in some incidents where Pueblos deliberately provoked violence in order to earn the fine.

Fray Isidro de Ordóñez, who had twice before been in New Mexico, arrived with the supply train in 1612 as the leader of nine Franciscan friars.  When he reached the southernmost mission at Sandia Pueblo, he produced a document that apparently made him Father Commissary, or head of the church in New Mexico, although later the document was said to be a forgery. In Santa Fe, despite Peralta's protests, Ordóñez proclaimed that any soldier or colonist could leave if they wanted to.  Ordóñez also accused Peralta of underfeeding the natives who were working on the construction of Santa Fe. The struggle for power intensified, and in May 1613 Ordonez excommunicated Peralta,
posting a notice announcing this on the doors of the Santa Fe church.

On 12 August 1613 Ordóñez and his followers arrested Peralta and had him chained and imprisoned in the mission of Nuestra Señora de los Dolores (Our Lady of Sorrows) at Sandia.
His jailer was Fray Esteban de Perea, who disapproved but obeyed.
Ordóñez assumed full civil as well as religious power in New Mexico until a new temporal governor, don Bernardino de Ceballos, arrived in New Mexico in the summer of 1614.
Peralta was not allowed to leave until November 1614, after Ordóñez and the new governor had taken most of his possessions.
This was the start of long-running disputes between the friars and the secular administration,
which later became so violent that in 1620 the King himself had to intervene, taking the side of his governors.

Later career

Peralta returned to Mexico City and told his version of the dispute with Ordóñez.
The Mexican Inquisition eventually ordered Ordóñez to return to Mexico City, and reprimanded him.
Peralta was vindicated.
Shortly afterwards, he was appointed alcalde mayor of the port of Acapulco.
Peralta moved to Caracas, in what is now Venezuela, where he served as an official in the royal treasury in the 1640s and early 1650s. He married in Caracas in 1637. Peralta later resigned his commission in 1654 and then lived in retirement in Madrid until his death. Pedro de Peralta died in 1666.

Later Legends about the Peralta Family

Most likely because of Pedro de Peralta's previous governorship his family name of "Peralta" was the inspiration for a number of legends in the Southwest region of the United States. It is unclear if any of the Peraltas who may have inhabited the area in the 1700s and later were any relation to Pedro de Peralta.

In the 1870s and 1880s James Reavis popularized the idea of a rich Peralta family who had lived and ruled over part of the American Southwest. He tried to assert a Peralta Spanish land grant and barony granted by the King of Spain, which included a huge swath of Arizona and New Mexico, including the Superstition Mountains. Dr. George M. Willing, a territorial delegate to Congress, claimed to have purchased the land grant from a man named Miguel Peralta (Reavis became Willing's partner to defend the claim and initially the US Government indicated Reavis' documents supported the legitimacy of the land grant). Reavis married a woman he claimed was the Peralta heiress to the "barony of Arizona" and he became known as "the Baron of Arizona." Reavis convinced some in the disputed land grant area to pay him for quitclaims on their existing properties and sold other areas to property investors. Reavis' forged Peralta genealogy and other documents were later exposed, and he served a prison sentence for fraud. His partner (Dr. Willing) died earlier in 1874.

According to legend, but not supported by historical records, the Peralta family owned land near the Superstition Mountains. The Peralta Massacre is a legend that Apaches supposedly ambushed a mining expedition the family sent into the mountains. Some carved stones in the area are referred to as "Peralta Stones" and Spanish text and crude maps on them are considered by some to be clues to the location of a Peralta family gold mine in the Superstition Mountains, although others believe the stones to be modern fakes. The last patriarch of the family was supposedly a large landowner named Don Miguel Peralta (who some claim was the one with the land grant (or perhaps sold a false land grant) that became part of the Reavis fraud). The Peralta mine in the Superstition Mountains is part of the legends about the origin of the Lost Dutchman's Gold Mine.

In a televised address, Hassan promised to protect his predecessor, Mohamed Nasheed, from retribution and called for the chaos in the streets to stop.
Nasheed's resignation marked a stunning fall for the former human rights campaigner who defeated the nation's longtime ruler in the country's first multiparty election. Nasheed was also an environmental celebrity, traveling the world to persuade governments to combat the climate change that could raise sea levels and inundate his archipelago nation.
"This is a change which was long overdue. The country has lost its Islamic values and economy," government worker Mohamed Muthalib said. "Corruption is very high and this has affected the economy."
Mohammed Waheed Hassan, who was educated at Stanford University in California, was the first television anchor in Maldives history and the first person shown live when local TV went on the air in 1978, according to his official biography.
In a phone call with Assistant Secretary of State Robert Blake, Hassan expressed his strong commitment to a peaceful transition of power and the preservation of democracy. According to Nuland, the new Maldivian leader expressed his intent now to form a national unity government with opposition participation, in the lead-up to the presidential election scheduled for November 2013.
Hassan — then the vice president — the Supreme Court, Human Rights Commission, Judicial Services Commission and the office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights all called for Judge Mohamed to be released.
He held a Cabinet meeting underwater in scuba gear to dramatize the threat of rising oceans to his low-lying archipelago nation, and said he may need to relocate his entire population if nothing was done. He also announced plans to make his nation "carbon-neutral," using wind and solar projects.

Black technical drawing combined with the polygonal relief is a direction I am exploring. When working on my previous series, I felt an urge to create a stronger connection between the crystal composition and the negative space surrounding it.
Here, I realize this connection and try to convey a a feeling of depth by the abstract technical lines. They create an ornamental pattern on the crystals and continue without refraction on the backing.
I must admit, I feel very excited about the new creative opportunities created by this combination of a line and a plane. The Draw series takes my work and technology to a new level, as all the lines are drawn by a pen.
