This week, at least one more first-round home playoff game for the Brooklyn Nets, tomorrow at 7:30 pm
After a blowout last night, the Brooklyn Nets now lead the Boston Celtics in the first round of the playoffs 3-1, so they have a chance to close out this round in one home game, scheduled for tomorrow, June 1, at 7:30 pm , at Barclays Center. The next game after that, if necessary, will be in Boston on Thursday, June 3, and the seventh game, if necessary, will be on Saturday, June 5, with a time not yet set. If the Nets win, they'll play the Milwaukee Bucks, who have the home-court advantage. As stated , if the Nets win in five, they'd start playing the Bucks on Saturday, June 5; if the series goes six or seven games, the Bucks would host the debut on Tuesday, June 7. So there's a lot of fluidity--and that's why the Barclays Center calendar , for now, has gaps.
As the notion of Nets fandom gets ventilated, one fan reports: season tickets next year will cost two to three times more
Who Are the Brooklyn Nets Fans? , asked Cam Wolf for GQ 5/20/21, with the subheading "The Nets have assembled one of the most talented teams in NBA history. Does anyone care?" The article referenced embarrassingly mild support during the 2014 playoffs, and subsequent, ongoing disparagement from the sports press. The summary: The Nets fanbase is a piecemeal bunch that includes locals, Knicks converts tired of the team's owner James Dolan, and NBA star-followers and League Pass-jumpers, the sort of folks who merely want to watch an entertaining and winning product. Notably: One quirk of the modern NBA is that plenty of fans, like Patarata, seem to have internalized Jerry Seinfeld's famous gripe that rooting for a sports team is like rooting for laundry. Instead, they follow stars—and in Harden, Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving, the Nets have three. That means the Nets are, technically speaking, popular. The team's jerseys are the second best-selling in the NBA , and the team's Ins
From the latest Construction Update: crane installation (rescheduled to) next weekend at B12/B13 site; open space at 550 Vanderbilt closed June 7 for two weeks; after-hours work (6 am start) again omitted
The latest Atlantic Yards/Pacific Park Construction Update (bottom), covering the two weeks beginning May 31 (yes, they work Monday, though it's a holiday), was circulated yesterday at 1:45 pm (lead time) by Empire State Development (ESD) after preparation by Greenland Forest City Partners. One main contrast with the previous Update regarding expected work: at the B12/B13 site on the southeast block of the project, between Carlton and Vanderbilt avenues, "East Tower crane set up and installation scheduled for Saturday, June 5, 2021 and Sunday, June 6, 2021. Tower crane will be set up from Pacific Street and access to Pacific Street will be limited due to crane operations." Unmentioned: this had already been scheduled for last weekend, May 22-23, but didn't happen. Another new piece of work, at the long-completed 550 Vanderbilt (aka B11): "Exterior inspection on the west elevation will be performed using hanging scaffold from the roof. B11 open space will be c
The passing of James Caldwell, leader of the 77th Precinct Council (and of BUILD)
I'm saddened to learn of the passing of James Caldwell. As President of the @NYPD77Pct Community Council, James worked tirelessly for the Crown Heights, Prospect Heights, and Bedford Stuyvesant communities. May he rest in peace. — Tish James (@TishJames) May 27, 2021 From Stephen Witt yesterday in Politics NY, James Caldwell, Pillar of Brooklyn's Black Community, Dies at 69 : Mr. Caldwell, as I called him, was a mentor, source and friend. He trusted me to report on crucially important issues to his community such as the Third Party Transfer stories , which wound up saving millions of dollars of Black generational wealth . He also advised me on many personal and professional issues. I am devastated. But as devastated as I am personally, it pales in comparison to what his loss means to Brooklyn's Black community. For nobody, bar none looked out for and helped his community more selflessly than Mr. Caldwell. He knew all the politicians and supported a good many of them. But if push cam
At "Plank Road," aka 662 Pacific Street, new advertising for apartments; StreetEasy's withdrawn listings show studios starting at $3,452, well above market nearby
The view from Sixth Avenue OK, the new 662 Pacific Street (aka B15) residential tower has a name and website, Plank Road , with leasing starting in July. And the building, just east of Sixth Avenue between Dean and Pacific streets, now boasts posters in the window advertising availabilities, as shown in the photos. While the building does not at the moment offer active listings , StreetEasy offers "past rentals," apparently hasty or test listings posted on May 13 but not currently available. So while we should take the numbers with a grain of salt--perhaps the sticker prices will change, or the incentives--they also offer some ballpark information about the market-rate units. As the screenshot below shows, the lowest price listed was a one-bedroom for $3,375 a month, which was oddly less than the cheapest studio, listed for $3,452 a month. Other one-bedrooms start at $4,221 a month, while the three two-bedrooms start at $5,876 a month. As described below, those prices seem
No "accidental town square," last night Barclays Center was in playoff (business) mode, with protest shunted across the street and new commercial signage activated at plaza and on Flatbush Avenue
Last night, on the anniversary of George Floyd's murder in Minneapolis, a march was planned to start at 5 pm from Barclays Center, but that intersected with a Brooklyn Nets playoff game against the Boston Celtics (which the Nets won handily ), with gates opening at 5:30 pm, two hours before game time. @barclayscenter plaza is extremely well defended on playoff night. No surprise that this would *not* be a time when arena operators welcomed protest. Which is gathered across the street on the (privately controlled) plaza outside Atlantic Terminal mall pic.twitter.com/1QfOQrJwiC — Norman Oder (@AYReport) May 25, 2021 The photos in my initial tweet were taken at about 5;30 pm, while the photo at left was taken close to 7 pm. Nonetheless, several news reports used "Barclays Center" as a general gathering locations. From the New York Times , "At Barclays Center in Brooklyn, family members of people who were fatally shot by the police turned out." From News12 , &
Tonight at the Barclays Center: a protest, then a playoff game (and maybe an intersection?)
Today, the one-year anniversary of George Floyd's death at the hands of Minneapolis police, widely believed--and subsequently confirmed at trial--to be a murder, there will be several protests around the city, with a "March for Safety & Justice" scheduled for 5 pm at the Barclays Center. That is one-half hour before the doors open at 5:30 pm--two hours before game time--for the Brooklyn Nets' second playoff game against the Boston Celtics. The first game, which the Nets won handily, drew a significant crowd, 14,391 , thanks to the state's relaxed protocols. That, combined with the typically truncated (by fencing) arrangement on the plaza for both protests and game crowds, suggests potential congestion. The Nets' Jeff Green told the Daily News there may be an act of solidarity by players. "We haven't talked to Boston as far as what they're trying to do," he said. "But we've had a lot of conversation within the last couple hours just at practice abo
In Coney Island, the baseball stadium gains its third name in 20 years. A renamed arena at Atlantic and Flatbush would be a bigger deal.
Sports facility names often change, related to the length of a naming-rights contract or, in some cases, shifts in corporate identity or news of corporate perfidy. Last week came news that the Brooklyn Cyclones' stadium in Coney Island, originally KeySpan Park and latterly MCU Park, has been renamed Maimonides Park--from a utility company to a credit union to a hospital, Maimonides Medical Center. That's three names in 20 years--and an escalation of syllables. As explained via Wikipedia , the KeySpan name evaporated after the utility's purchase by National Grid, and the Municipal Credit Union deal was only 11 years. The Cyclones' official notice says the new deal is for ten years, through the 2031 summer season. Though the announcement (unsurprisingly) doesn't mention a dollar figure, it did come with typical boosterish talk: The name reflects a new partnership that unites two of the borough's iconic institutions – a team celebrating its 20th anniversary season an
Barclays Center, a little late, sends end-of-May calendar to neighbors, with past LIU graduation, Nets and Liberty games
Okay, the Barclays Center, now with expanded capacity, is back to circulating event calendars to neighbors, but a little late. Listed in the notice sent yesterday (below) are two Long Island University commencement ceremonies two days previously, plus last night's Brooklyn Nets game, two New York Liberty games, and two more Nets games. The third Nets game, scheduled for Tuesday, June 1, is unscheduled and--unmentioned--might not be necessary, because it's the fifth game of the series, and the Nets, who won the debut last night, could sweep the Boston Celtics. It might not be simple to circulate these calendars, given the late-breaking news of the NBA playoffs schedule, but the Nets-Celtics series schedule was set Wednesday night , before the LIU ceremonies. On Thursday, I tweeted that the LIU ceremonies should've been announced.
Nets expecting 13,000 at Barclays Center tonight for first home playoff game; arena retail expanding
The New York Knicks expect 15,000 fans at Madison Square Garden for their first playoff game tomorrow, while Brooklyn Nets General Manager Sean Marks expects more than 13,000 fans in the somewhat smaller (17,732 capacity for basketball) Barclays Center for tonight's playoffs opener, according to the New York Post. Meanwhile, NetsDaily quotes the arena operator as saying that yes (as reported here ) the team store will now be Brooklyn Style, along the arena's Flatbush Avenue flank, opening today: Brooklyn Style was designed with a retail-first approach and minimalistic aesthetic, putting an enhanced focus on the products, and giving the space an elevated look. Additionally, the store's interior layout design and fixtures were built for ease of shopping during anticipated high-traffic, sold-out basketball games and other events. Brooklyn Style was designed by architects from Food New York, whose notable work includes Off-White stores in New York, Hong Kong, Tokyo and Singapore.
Yes, 2022 looks to be a boom year for arenas and stadiums. The NYC-area offers an interesting test case, with the new UBS Arena opening.
ARENAS, STADIUMS EXPECT RECORD-SETTING 2022 FOR THIRD-PARTY EVENTS , Sportico's John Wall Street reported 5/19/21: SeatGeek reports that in 2019 NBA and NHL buildings hosted on average between 80 and 90 third-party events. It's believed that those same venues (at least the ones with just a single team) could book as many as 160 shows in 2022 as artists/athletes/entertainers—and the pro sports teams that own or operate the buildings—all look to make up for the revenues lost over the last 18 months. One senior live event industry insider (who asked to remain anonymous) said the number of booking inquiries and "soft commits" that pro sports venues have received in recent weeks "is a multiple more than what they have received in the past." Eventellect co-founder Patrick Ryan said he has been hearing the same, projecting 2022 would be a "record-setting year for [live entertainment] tours." The article notes that this refers to not just concerts but family and sports shows. The reasons b
The Barclays Center team store moves to Flatbush Ave. and changes its name: from "Nets Shop by Adidas" to "Swag Shop" to (apparently) "Brooklyn Style"
The store area along Flatbush A new Barclays Center team store, apparently called "Brooklyn Style," is emerging along Flatbush Avenue, occupying most of the Flatbush Avenue retail frontage previously--and briefly--occupied by a WPIX studio and a sales office for the 550 Vanderbilt condos. Note the area outlined with blue tape, which appears to be waiting for new signage, at least as of Tuesday afternoon, 5/18/21, when I took the photos. It no longer occupies the section closest to the arena plaza and arena ticket office, which currently has black-and-white images pasted over the glass. See photo below right. And while that site has been--and is apparently still--used for administrative purposes, including those related to COVID-19 testing/screening, it's a reasonable bet that the section, including a revolving door, may serve as a supplementary entrance/exit. In photo below left--sorry about the reflection--you can see some of the merch. Perhaps it all will be upgraded b

From Bklyner: 80 Flatbush Project Swaps Office Space for Mostly Market-Rate Housing in First Tower As It Begins Construction
Yesterday Bklyner published my article about a project very near Atlantic Yards/Pacific Park that I wrote about a lot in 2018, 80 Flatbush Project Swaps Office Space for Mostly Market-Rate Housing in First Tower As It Begins Construction . From the lead: The 80 Flatbush project, in Downtown Brooklyn at the edge of Boerum Hill, is set to finally start construction on the first phase of the project, a 44-story, 480-foot tower. Thanks to the post-pandemic realities, it will be different from what was presented to the City Council in September 2018. Questions remain about when the affordable housing component of the project, its main selling piece, will be fully delivered, whether there are any meaningful penalties associated with ensuring timely delivery, and what they may be. Here's one of the rubs: But transparency regarding a delayed start remains lacking. Aiming to learn more about such penalties, this journalist on Oct. 16, 2018, filed a Freedom of Information Law (FOIL) request
With new state policy assigning at least 50% of seating for vaccinated fans, arenas can fill up a lot more for the NBA playoffs; but what about concerts?
Well, the capacity at the Barclays Center (and other arenas) for the NBA playoffs won't be 25% or 30% --it looks to be well more than 50%, after Gov. Andrew Cuomo's announcement yesterday regarding revamped rules in the wake of new federal guidance on COVID-19. "I'm going to root for NY," Cuomo says of NBA playoffs. There will be a vaccinated and unvaccinated section at the Garden and Barclays Center. 50% capacity for vaccinated sections pic.twitter.com/uGuQvW3b2z — Joseph Spector (@GannettAlbany) May 17, 2021 As Newsday reported : Madison Square Garden chairman James Dolan estimated the Knicks would be able to bring approximately 13,000 fans into the arena... BSE Global CEO John Abbamondi said, "We are thrilled that more Nets fans will be able to experience NBA playoffs in person." So that's well more than half for the Garden, and probably for Barclays. "You can go to 100-percent vaccinated," Cuomo said, according to Patch. After
Not one but three journalistic investigations of BP Adams's charity shows dubious practices (self-promotion, entanglement with real-estate projects)
So the New York Times today has a deep dive on Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams's relationship with donors, How Eric Adams, Mayoral Candidate, Mixed Money and Political Ambition , which sounds a lot like a deep dive the Times did on his predecessor, Marty Markowitz. 10/24/11, From Brooklyn Office, Mixing Clout and Charity . It's unfortunate that such investigations--which rely not only on significant reporting chops but access to documents that are not simply online--come so late in their administrations. (As noted below, The City and Politico previously published their own investigations.) After all, this comes after numerous institutional endorsements of Adams, which can of course be transactional, as well as a full-throated New York Post endorsement of him, and a second-place nod from the New York Daily News . While the latter did cite his "entanglements" with those doing business, both should have had to reckon more with his record. And it's confounding
While (truncated) open space at two Atlantic Yards/Pacific Park towers is barely used, the Vanderbilt Avenue open streets are bustling
Yestderday, I walked around Prospect Heights at about 3 pm, and decided to check out the limited extant open space outside the two Atlantic Yards/Pacific Park buidlings that have it, B14 (535 Carlton) and B11 (550 Vanderbilt). It was a lovely day, but there was literally no one in the 535 Carlton open space. See below the view looking south toward Dean Street, after entering from Carlton Avenue. This was notable because, at least compared to 550 Vanderbilt, less of the open space is truncated. Meanwhile, entering the 550 Vanderbilt open space from Dean Street and looking north toward (closed) Pacific Street, the fencing from the B12/B13 sites encroaches significantly on one segment of benches. As shown in the photo below--and it's a littler harder to see--there were some parents at a table in the 550 Vanderbilt courtyard, and a couple of kids bounding about in the main section of the open space. (The bike belonged to another guy who was chilling. The rules say no bicycle use, by t
From the latest Construction Update: crane installation next weekend at B12/B13 site; somehow, 6 am weekday work at that site goes unmentioned
The latest Atlantic Yards/Pacific Park Construction Update (bottom), covering the two weeks beginning May 17 was circulated yesterday at 3:01 pm (lead time) by Empire State Development (ESD) after preparation by Greenland Forest City Partners. There's only one contrast with the previous Update regarding expected work: at the B12/B13 site on the southeast block of the project, between Carlton and Vanderbilt avenues, "East Tower crane set up and installation is scheduled for Saturday, May 22, 2021 and Sunday, May 23, 2021 – work hours will be determined by NYC Department of Buildings (DOB). Tower crane will be set up from Pacific Street." Misleading the public Something more significant was not mentioned in the Update, however. As shown in the screenshot, the Update does not mention the belatedly successful effort to start weekday work at 6 am at the B12/B13 sites, which are designated 615 Dean St. and 595 Dean St. Though the purpose is purpotedly safety--see the screensh
At one commercial storefront, the Brooklyn Bridge and the Barclays Center serve as "Urban Market" bookends
Choices by commercial entities are based on market research, right? So if the Brooklyn Bridge was the original (and enduring) symbol of Brooklyn, a key new symbol is, apparently, the Barclays Center. This is Key Food's Urban Market at 653 Nostrand Avenue in Crown Heights, between Prospect Place and St. Marks Avenue, where I took the photo earlier this month. Google Street View suggests that this once-generic Key Food was upgraded sometime in 2019-20; the first example with the Barclays Center image is from November 2020.
Barclays Center: Dean Street sidewalk parking not encouraged but used by "our canine unit." ESD: (illegal) parking on Atlantic Avenue "supporting arena operations."
This is the second of two articles on the 5/11/21 Atlantic Yards/Pacific Park Quality of Life meeting. The first mostly concerned construction progress and a dubious claim about after-hours work. Mandy Gutmann, Senior VP, Communications and Community Relations, spoke regarding the Barclays Center. "It's been very, very, very good at Barclay Center," she said. "We are looking forward to increasing our fan attendance on May 19. Per Governor Cuomo, we are going up to 30% [capacity], and the Nets are in the playoffs, so we're incredibly excited about that." Note that that seems a stealth increase in capacity, since an increase from 10% to 25% as of May 19 was announced last month . That said, it's getting around, since a big New York Times Arts section article yesterday on The Brooklynettes and how they've adapted to smaller crowds and social distancing also mentions an increase to 30%. Gutmann noted that the WNBA's New York Liberty will begin th

Push-ups are seriously a lot harder than they look. People assume I'm exaggerating when I say I don't know how to do them properly... and then I show them and they're like "Ahmmmm ok so that wasn't technically a push-up. In fact I'm not sure what that was". Great, thanks. Fortunately I got a few tips from my friends today and I watched a bunch of videos online so hopefully by Friday I will be able to do 3.
The humidity was already more than 90% by the time I got up to go to the gym at 4am this morning (did I already mention that I'm not looking forward to training in the Summer?? The humidity is going to be dreadful!) Since I haven't done any significant strength training in a while I decided to focus on that this morning. As always I did a leg workout. I plan to incorporate upper body strength training into my routine, but probably not with the weight machines. Instead I'm going to try and do push-ups.
Instead the race circuit is permeated with 5Ks and 10Ks, otherwise known as the "sprints" of long distance/endurance running (ok I may have totally made that up or read that somewhere; but it makes sense right?). I love the 5K and 10K distances as training runs, but not necessarily for races. I know the reason for that is entirely superficial (so you don't need to point that out). Mainly it's because the medals for the shorter events are not as nice as the medals for the longer distance races. There are a few exceptions of course, but generally speaking a half marathon medal is usually nicer than a 5K or 10K medal. I race for the bling as much as I race for the experience so medals are pretty high up there on the priority list.
So I'm in full celebration mode!!!
I love this! Who will you be?
Today didn't start out as an "easy day" since I started my morning with a 5K run. My goal is to get back to the point where I'm running this distance non-stop. And then to be able to do that consistently at least once a week. Then to be able to increase to 4 miles, then 5 miles, then a 10K non-stop by the end of the year. That's not too complicated right?
I'm just as much of an early bird for swimming events as I am for running events because, as it turns out, I get just as nervous for them. So even though the event check-in for Swim Miami wasn't until 7am this morning, I still got there at 5 am... and sat alone in my car in a VERY empty parking garage convincing myself that this was not the beginning of a low budget horror film.
Once I practically scared the parking garage attendant to death got the attention of the parking garage attendant and confirmed that I was parked in the correct location I felt a little better. About an hour later people started driving in and heading to the Miami Yacht Club where the event was taking place.
I broke into my piggy bank today. A while back I mentioned I had a piggy bank that I used to save for my full marathons. It started off as just one piggy bank for the Athens marathon trip because airline tickets to Greece are NOT cheap! But then I decided to start saving for Chicago too (mainly to facilitate my anticipated post-run food appetite and desire for an upgraded airline seat on the return flight home).
Only one is an actual "piggy", the other is a "hippo"
However a few days ago I had this weird dream that my piggy banks caught on fire and I lost all my savings. In order to avoid seeing my savings go up in smoke I decided to open a dedicated "marathon savings account" with my credit union and keep the money there.
This morning I did 48 lengths of the 25m pool (3/4 mile) at a relatively even (albeit slow) methodical pace. It felt good to be back in the pool. I always feel like that when I swim. Even though it's the hardest thing to get out of bed at 3am to go swimming, once I'm in the water, and my body is acclimated to the temperature, I tune out the world and just relax.
I GOT NEW SHOES TODAY!!!!!
I went to the Runner's Depot store this morning determined to find a more suitable pair of shoes. I have been running in Brooks Adrenaline GTS models since I started running in 2013, but I think that I have out grown them. Initially I needed a lot of the stability and support that those shoes provide, but now that I am a more efficient trying to be a more efficient runner, I think I can transition out of those shoes and into something else. My love affair with running will hopefully last forever, but that doesn't restrict me to the same type of running shoes forever right?


Surveys are a popular information collection tool to help coastal managers understand their stakeholders and quickly assess large populations. Unfortunately, because of their popularity, many people untrained in survey creation administer poorly designed surveys that yield questionable results.

Carlos Tora�o Enters Partnership Agreement,
Forms New Dominican Company
MIAMI - Carlos Tora�o, president of Tora�o Cigars, recently signed a formal agreement with the Cuevas brothers, joining them as a full partner in their Dominican cigar factory. The new company name for the facility, located in Navarette, Dominican Republic, is Cuevas and Tora�o, S. A.
"After almost two decades of the Tora�o family's informal partnership with the Cuevas brothers," says Tora�o, "all parties felt it would only strengthen the company to formalize that partnership.
"Luis and Sergio Cuevas have grown quality tobacco and produced premium cigars for over thirty years," says Tora�o, "and their family's tobacco roots go back to the 1880s in Cuba. The Tora�o family has been in the business since 1916. I personally have been working closely with the Cuevas brothers for more than fifteen years, based solely on our good-faith agreement. This formal partnership brings together our individual strengths, so we can capitalize on them." Sergio will concentrate on his specialty, growing his proprietary strains of Cuban-seed filler tobacco on the Cuevas' large farm near Navarette. Luis will continue to apply his expertise to operating the factory.
The Tora�o family will focus on marketing and distribution of their own brands, as well as building upon their private-label customer base. "Our present factory, with 65-70 workers, is not large," says Tora�o. "It is a quality house, not a high-production facility."
The Carlos Tora�o Signature Collection, made at Cuevas & Tora�o, S.A., recently received Smoke magazine's highest rating ever for a non-Cuban cigar. Cuevas & Tora�o, S.A., also provides tobacco for and produces the La Perla Habana line and as well premium cigars for Dublin-based Peterson and the Swiss tobacco company Villiger Schone.
Nat Sherman to Relocate Manahattan Factory Operations to North Carolina
New York - Specialty cigarette maker Nat Sherman, Inc., has purchased a 38,000 sq. foot building near the Piedmont Triad International Airport in Greensboro, North Carolina where it plans to open a cigarette manufacturing facility next year.
Bill Sherman, the company's executive vice president, said the company will move its New York cigarette manufacturing facilities to the new site, which should be fully operational by late March. Sherman declined to comment on the purchase price, though he said his company bought the 38,000-square-foot building for less than the listed price of $1.75 million.
Nat Sherman is a luxury line of cigarettes that, on average, sells for up to $1.50 more per pack than traditional premium brands, Sherman said. The company maintains a retail shop on Fifth Avenue in midtown Manhattan and also sells to retailers and wholesalers.
Herb Fincher, who previously worked for the now-shuttered Brown & Williamson facility in Winston-Salem, was hired to oversee production. Sherman said the plant initially will hire 25 employees, and will look to hire more as more manufacturing capabilities are added.
"For us, this is a huge investment, both in the building and in the community," said Sherman. He said the company had considered leasing space but was more intent on buying a site in order to show its "commitment" to staying in Greensboro.
Nat Sherman chose the Triad because of its long-standing tradition in tobacco and its proximity to the company's various vendors, Sherman said.
Brick-Hanauer to Distribute La Plata Cigars
Waltham, Mass. - La Plata Cigar Co. Inc., Los Angeles, Calif., has reached a distribution agreement with Brick-Hanauer Co. Inc., Waltham, Mass., to wholesale La Plata's premium cigar brands nationally.
The distribution arrangement was forged as La Plata prepared to close its retail store on South Grand Avenue in downtown Los Angeles after 31 years.
"It's a sign of the times," said Migenes, whose father started the company in 1947. "The state of California just taxed us out of the retail store business. California is a hostile tax state for cigars."
Migenes said the retail store will stay open until the first of the year. "Then, I'm going to take an office with a showroom, but the main goal is to concentrate on promoting Brick-Hanauer's efforts nationally," Migenes said. "Everything will stay the same except the walk-in trade. We still will do retail mail order and on the Internet, and private labeling and special events."
Long-time wholesaler Brick-Hanauer's primary brands are Santa Rosa and Madrigal. "We know that La Plata is a very popular cigar on the West Coast, and being from the east we wanted a foothold in the west," said Brick-Hanauer vice president Mark Moss. "It is an established premium cigar brand, and enjoys a wide following."
La Plata's Honduran Premium line has nine shapes, with Connecticut shade or Connecticut broad-leaf maduro wrappers. The four-cigar Anniversario Seleccion Dominicanas are Dominican puros with rosado-hued Dominican wrappers.
Denmark's Mac Baren Opens U.S. Office;
Strengthens Focus on North American Market
Schaumburg, IL - Danish pipe tobacco manufacturer Mac Baren has established a U.S. office in the Chicago area, naming Michael Madsen as vice president of U.S.A./Canada Operations.
"With this step we want to show that we focus on, and will invest in, developing our pipe tobacco and the pipe tobacco market in general in times where more and more players seem to neglect this market," said Madsen.
Mac Baren, a fifth-generation tobacco producer based in Svendborg, Denmark, produces a variety of tinned and bulk pipe tobaccos. "One of my main interests by being here is to help our distributors and Swisher as importer to focus more on Mac Baren products" said Madsen.
Swisher International, Inc. of Jacksonville, Fla. is the importer of Mac Baren products in the U.S.

A recent Tennessee Court of Appeals decision, In re: Estate of Ole Irene Tucker, 2015 WL 7068134 (Tenn. Ct. App. 2015), discussed how a person qualifies as a person born out of wedlock for purposes of inheriting from a deceased individual in an intestate situation (a situation without a will). In this case, an individual claimed to be a grandchild of a deceased individual. A dispute arose as to whether this individual was actually the child of her purported father (who was the son of the deceased). The question before the Court was whether this individual had standing to make a claim under the Tennessee intestate succession laws against the estate. The trial court issued an order finding that this individual lacked standing and could not inherit under Tennessee law because she was not considered a person born out of wedlock under T.C.A. § 31-2-105.
(B) The paternity is established by an adjudication before the death of the father or is established thereafter by clear and convincing proof, but the paternity established under this subdivision (a)(2)(B) is ineffective to qualify the father or the father's kindred to inherit from or through the child unless the father has openly treated the child as the father's, and has not refused to support the child.


Distinguishing Characteristics: African-American female. Black hair, brown eyes. Stewart's nickname is Ty. Clothing/Jewelry Description: Pajamas.
Stewart was a freshman at Texas A&M University in College Station at the time of her disappearance, studying civil and chemical engineering. She was home for spring break when she vanished from Houston, Texas on March 15, 2007. Her ex-boyfriend, Timothy Wayne Shepherd, said he last saw her at his second-floor residence in the Red Oak Place apartment complex in the 17700 block of Red Oak Drive off F.M. 1960. A photograph of Shepherd is posted below this case summary. Stewart was reported missing on March 19 and police went to Shepherd's apartment to question him. He said they'd gotten into an argument between 3:00 and 4:00 a.m. on March 15 and Stewart walked out of his apartment angrily, carrying a cellular phone, and this was the last time he had seen her.
Shepherd and Stewart had a volatile relationship with many arguments, and she was reportedly afraid of him. They began dating when she was a sixteen-year-old high school junior. Her loved ones describe him as jealous, possessive and controlling of her. At one point Stewart told her sister Shepherd had choked her and threatened her life. During Stewart's first semester at college, Shepherd called her several times a day. She began seeing someone else while she was at college, and Shepherd stopped contacting her for awhile after the end of the first semester. However, by February 2007, he was calling her regularly again and Stewart said she was afraid to go home to Houston for spring break because she thought Shepherd might follow her around. In spite of her reservations, however, Stewart came home and made plans to spend the time with friends.
Early on the morning of March 15, Shepherd had picked up Stewart from the apartment of one of her female friends. She left her cellular phone behind with her friend and said she would return later that day. She never came back, and never showed up for a concert she planned to go to. Her younger sister was the last person to speak to her; they spoke at abount noon on March 15 and Stewart said she was Shepherd. She has never been heard from again. Shepherd never bothered to participate in the subsequent search efforts.
After a phone conversation with his attorney, Shepherd contacted the police and lead Quanell X and a police officer to a dumpster in a dumpster in the 14600 block of Ella Street and said he had placed Stewart's body there. No evidence could be recovered, however, as by then the dumpster had already been emptied. He was then arrested, and confessed to Stewart's murder after he got back to the station. He said he'd strangled her during an argument, put her body in a plastic tote bag and left it in the dumpster. Following his arrest, Shepherd made an unsuccessful attempt at suicide.
Authorities came to believe Shepherd didn't put Stewart's body in the Ella Street dumpster and instead dismembered it and burned it on two barbecue grills on his balcony. Shepherd owned one of the grills; the other belonged to a neighbor and friend who grilled at Shepherd's apartment so often that he just kept the grill there. They normally shared each other's barbecued food, but when Shepherd's neighbor noticed him grilling and asked about it, Shepherd said he was making food for a wedding and could not share.
A day or two after the police and firefighters came to his apartment, a neighbor saw Shepherd carrying a grill and smoker to a nearby trash bin. Both grills were later found to be missing from Shepherd's balcony and his neighbor never saw his own grill again. When police checked Shepherd's garbage disposal after his arrest, they found fragments of bone and tooth enamel. Burned bone fragments with cut marks on them were also found under Shepherd's patio. They were too small or badly burned to yield DNA or even for it to be certain they were human.
At Shepherd's trial in October 2008, he claimed he strangled Stewart after she attacked him with a knife. His attorney argued it was a crime of passion and he should be sentenced to no more than 20 years in prison. He was convicted of murder and sentenced to the maximum term of 99 years in prison.
Stewart is one of six children and grew up in the Aldine, one of the poorest communities in the Houston area. Her father died when she was six. She graduated from Nimitz High School in the top ten percent of her class, managed the girls' basketball team and participated in other extracurricular activities, and worked part-time from her freshman year onward. In 2005 she was one of fifteen students out of hundreds of applicants to win a scholarship for Houston-area students from poor and disadvantaged backgrounds. Foul play is suspected in her case due to the circumstances involved.

Tennessee regulates unarmed and armed security guards. The state also licenses contract security companies and proprietary security organizations. Organizations must have a qualifying agent or manager who meets state requirements.
Tennessee Private Protective Services makes some distinctions between guards or officers who work for security companies and those who work for proprietary organizations.
Unarmed security guard employees must be at least 18. They must be citizens or resident aliens and must meet character and fitness requirements set by the state.
An applicant cannot be habitually drunk or dependent on narcotics and cannot have a disability that would preclude performing duties.
An applicant is not automatically denied because of past criminal conviction. However, if the conviction is a felony or potentially disqualifying misdemeanor, the individual must have completed his or her sentence or probation no less than five years earlier.
The student can expect testing. A state certified trainer will provide a certificate verifying completion of requirements.
If the guard or officer will carry a device or weapon classified as "less than lethal", he or she will need training in the specific device. The instructor must be certified to offer the particular training. Less than lethal weapons include stun guns and chemical spray, among others.
Unarmed employee may be authorized to work temporarily following submission of application and other required materials. Private Protective Services has provided a list of frequently asked questions (http://www.tn.gov/commerce/topic/prot-faqs).
Unarmed registration is renewed every two years.
Unarmed guards employed by proprietary security organizations, unlike their counterparts employed by contract security companies, are prohibited from carrying any type of weapon (http://www.tn.gov/commerce/article/prot-get-a-license).
According to Tennessee code, it is "desired" that officers who interact with the public have training in emergency procedures and in security guard powers and limitations of power.
Armed guards must be 21 years of age. They have additional training requirements beyond those required for unarmed contract security employees. They will need to take an eight hour course that includes legal limitations of firearms usage, safety, maintenance, and handling. They will also need four hours of marksmanship training. This training culminates in a commissioner-approved target course.
Unarmed guards will need additional training for weapons or other devices that they may use.
An individual cannot work as an armed guard until he or she possesses, at minimum, a conditional card.
Armed guards must complete refresher/ range training during each renewal period.
Application materials can be downloaded from the website of the Department of Commerce and Insurance (http://www.tn.gov/commerce/article/prot-forms-and-downloads). They can also be requested via telephone at 615-741-6382 or 615-532-9130.
The applicant will need to submit three passport-style photographs. Those who answer "yes' to criminal history questions will need to provide additional supporting information.
You will need to submit fingerprints for a background check.
Unarmed guards currently pay a $50 application fee and $20 registration fee. Armed guards currently pay a $75 application fee and $30 registration fee. An armed guard who needs a conditional permit will remit an additional $15.
It typically takes four to six weeks to process an application.
The qualifying manager of a proprietary organization will need a certificate of insurance. He or she will need to provide basic information to the licensing agency.
Requirements are more stringent for professionals who work as qualifying agents for contract security companies. The qualifying agent must be at least 21 and must have, in addition to a certificate of insurance, three credit references. He or she will qualify based on experience or examination. The licensing agency will accept three years of security experience at the supervisory, managerial, or administrative level; the work setting may be a contract company or proprietary organization. The licensing agency can also accept three years of law enforcement experience at the supervisory level; the qualifying experience may have been accrued in the armed forces.
The examination is administered by PSI. It is computer-delivered. The minimum passing score is 70%. The fee is currently $125. PSI has published a candidate handbook (https://candidate.psiexams.com/catalog/fti_agency_license_details.jsp?fromwhere=findtest&testid=3638). The candidate can use the application form found in the handbook or call (800) 733-9267. There are currently six test site locations: Chattanooga, Jackson, Johnson City, Knoxville, Memphis, and Nashville. Out-of-state candidates may submit a special request; this is found at the back of the candidate handbook.
Qualifying agents submit their documents as part of the agency application process (http://www.tn.gov/commerce/article/prot-forms-and-downloads).
In 2015, the licensing agency issued a statement requesting applicants use electronic fingerprinting services. The designated vendor is Identogo by MorphoTrust. There are sites throughout the state (http://www.l1enrollment.com/locations/?st=tn). Applicants may schedule online (http://www.l1enrollment.com/state/?st=tn). They also have the option of calling 855-226-2937. A $38 fee is paid to MorpoTrust.
Out-of-state applicants will also use the approved vendor. However, they will have their fingerprints made on FD-258 'hard cards', then sent to Identogo for scanning. The applicant may call to request cards. He or she will need ORI number and other agency information. The licensing agency has provided detailed information about fingerprinting requirements (http://www.tn.gov/commerce/article/prot-fingerprinting-information).
Private Protective Services (http://www.tn.gov/commerce/section/private-protective-services) is under the banner of the Tennessee Department of Commerce and Insurance. The licensing agency can be reached by telephone at 615-741-6382 or by email at 'Private.Protective at TN.Gov'. Additional contact information is available online (http://www.tn.gov/commerce/topic/prot-contact). Rules can also be accessed through the Department website (http://share.tn.gov/sos/rules/0780/0780-05/0780-05.htm).

Hi Guy, its been a long time. I'm doing much better, thanks for asking. After many years my back got more stable, it still hurts but I manage it a lot better now, I don't take any meds anymore. I got help from a place called March of Dimes, that helped me get some training from a tech school; then I did a year of volunteer work to get more experience and ended up at Trapeze Software Inc.
I've been working there for 3 years now, and I'm in talks on getting a promotion soon. Love my job and I can say that most if not all the other employees like me too. I won't say I'm perfect, I'm always learning new things but I always try hard.
When I got the interview I told the truth about my back even tho I didn't have to and my boss now gave me a chance which I will be forever grateful, the people I work with are great people, we blend well.
In the end I would have never got here without your help, I was in a bad place back then, and I know you could see it. Looking back I think I was worse then I led on but I would have ended up a lot worse if we never met.
There are only a hand full of people that have really helped me in life and I can honestly say you are one of them. I wouldn't have made it this far without your help and I will never forget that. If there is ever something I can help with please let me know, if its something I can help with I won't hesitate to help out, thanks for checking up on me you're a great person.
I would like to extend a sincere thank you to you & your firm for representing me with my case. Your knowledge and expertise led to a successful outcome and settlement. I received my settlement check yesterday - It seems that my letter went into a neighbor's mailbox & they were away on vacation so they delivered it to me over the weekend. Even though the whole process was very lengthy & frustrating at times, I thank you very much for your help, kindness and for always keeping me informed during the process. I am so grateful for the settlement that I received -- but I'm even more grateful to be alive to watch my children grow.
You've always believed in the strength of my case and there are no words to really express my gratitude and appreciation for all that you have done on my behalf - "Thank you" just doesn't seem like enough..…but please accept my sincere thanks for being so patient throughout the past few years & for achieving this result which has given me (& I'm sure has given you) great satisfaction.
I wish you, your family and staff all the best….God Bless!
The settlement is approved. The solicitor has obtained an excellent result for his clients, and the fees claimed are reasonable in that context. All other aspects of the settlement are in order. I have signed the judgment.
Are you interested in a complicated case?
I got over my head on this and can't afford more time. There are only a small handful of competent lawyers that I think could pull this off. Sorry- you were the first I thought of- the next is ___if you say no. This is not easy money, but if the motion can be beat-they will come to the table is my thought. Possibly interested? I love this guy and need him taken care of.
"I really would like to thank you and your staff for the outcome of my case. I appreciate your effort and I'm grateful. I will definitely recommend you to family and friends."
On behalf of the entire S family we would like to thank you for all your love and support. Together with your help, we will heal, we will smile and we will live life and laugh again. We hope in the recent weeks we have had a chance to give you a big hug of thanks, without you this tragedy would be much worse.
"I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Guy Farrell about 12 years ago, when I was injured in a car accident. It was a very traumatic, emotional, and depressing time in my life, and Mr. Farrell was able to help me with my case."
Unfortunately, I was involved in a second accident just last year, and didn't hesitate to call Mr. Farrell. When I called he answered the phone, remembered my name, and remembered who I was after 10 years. He made me feel at ease, and came to visit me at home after being injured in my second car accident. It's nice to know, and feels comforting knowing there is someone working for you, that you're not just a number, or another case, that someone actually cares, and listens to you, and someone who is on your side.
Mr. Farrell is the most professional, dedicated, and informative lawyer I know, and not only do I consider him my lawyer, but I also consider him a friend. Mr. Farrell, and his team of Professionals are very helpful, knowledgeable, and efficient - they get things done, and they get it done right!
Hopefully, I don't get into any more accidents, or injuries, but if I do.....Guy will be the one that I call, and the "One" that I refer to my family and friends, because I know he cares, I trust his advise, I trust him, and he's also a Cool "Guy" !!!!
"From the outset Guy and his team administered the support services I needed every step of the way---from the wheelchair to the hopping steps on crutches to the long gradual rehabilitation back onto two legs.
Guy and his team provided excellent service: they were thorough, professional, compassionate and always there for me. Their support made the most traumatic experience of my life a little easier to bear. I can't imagine what I would have done without them."
"Please accept my very sincere thanks for the job you and your team are doing in representing me. Your time and helpful advice is very appreciated. You are an excellent ambassador to your profession and a kind and thoughtful person and I am very happy I picked you as my lawyer, and I would not hesitate to refer you to others."
"Words will never express all of the gratitude that I have for all the help, counseling, and guidance that Farrell Law Firm has provided. Finding a lawyer for the first time was very intimidating for me. I'd heard so many stories of people being taken advantage of and hiring lawyers that didn't have their clients' best interests at heart. I am so honoured to recommend Guy Farrell and his very friendly and accommodating staff to anyone who is in need of great legal representation. His expertise and genuine caring attitude toward his clients made me feel secure at a very difficult time. The anxiety and uncertainty involved with dealing with a legal issue is something that can really take its toll and with Guy's knowledge and professionalism I was able to make it through one of the toughest times in my life. With his vast experience he was able to concentrate on the real matter and cut through all of the smoke and mirrors to get to the core of the issue. He was a voice of reason at a complicated time and always had my best interests as his main priority. I truly hoped somehow everything would work out and justice would be served and with his help it has been. Guy has always kept me very well informed at all times and I'm so happy to say obtained a favourable resolution of the matter. Thank you so much!"
"You are a gem and I wish some lawyers would embrace your candidness."
Thanks for being there when we least expected. You've gone above and beyond your duty for us. We are forever indebted to you."
"I just wanted to thank you for such an amazing job you did on my case. I can't believe it's over after waiting so long. Most of all I want to thank you for being so sincere, and actually caring about the client...me. Words cannot explain my appreciation and gratitude..."

Quiz: How much do you remember about past Premier League opening days?
Tottenham Hotspur will start their 2017/18 Premier League campaign away to newly promoted Newcastle United on the weekend of August 12.
The season opener for City will be on the road to newly promoted Brighton & Hove Albion, who will certainly make the Amex Stadium a insane atmosphere for the team's first ever Premier League match.
The other Premier League newcomers Huddersfield Town will play their first top-flight game in 45 years at Crystal Palace as Arsenal open at home to Leicester City.
The Eagles, still manager-less, will then go into games against Liverpool and Swansea City, while they play rivals Brighton and Hove Albion on 28 November and 14 April.
Leicester, Arsenal, Chelsea, Stoke, Everton and Burnley all have hard early season fixtures, but which Premier League teams has the toughest start?
Both the Manchester and Merseyside derbies will take place on the same two weekends this season and the second round of those fixtures could be particularly decisive as the season enters its business end.
"It's changed so much now because you've got so many good sides in the Premier League and you've got to fight, you've got to scrap, you've got to chase, you've got to win as many games as you possibly can at the start of the season".
The game may well be switched to St Marys, but that has to be agreed by the two clubs. But to suggest it's as simple as that would be wrong, especially when you look back at how last season panned out - and so many seasons before that. They were beaten heavily at Chelsea, lost to Tottenham and Arsenal and drew with Liverpool and Manchester City. It is always nice for fans to enjoy games against top teams over the Christmas period. United's season ends with a home game against Watford on May 13.
Who do you want to see us play in the opening round of fixtures?
Chelsea travel to Newcastle on the final day of the season, and the Magpies have form in making things hard for the Blues.
Antonio Conte's team are striving to become the first club to retain the Premier League title since Manchester United in 2008/09 and will aim for a repeat of their convincing 3-1 victory at Turf Moor on Matchweek 1 of their victorious 2014/15 campaign.
There have been 25 seasons since the Premier League was formed in 1992/93 - but what was the best match for YOUR club in that time?

Zirin talks 'Politics of Sports' with Ohio State students, Wexner audience
Sports and Society partnered with the Wexner Center for the Arts to welcome The Nation sports editor Dave Zirinin in "The Politics of Sports," a conversation about sports in the world today.
The discussion was led by Dave Filipi, the Wex's Director of Film/Video.
Zirin discussed contemporary issues such as the controversy surrounding Colin Kaepernick and Serena Williams, as well as recent events surrounding Ohio State football. He also traced the historic intersection of sports and politics through the 20th century.
In addition to his talk at the Wexner, Zirin also shared pizza lunch with journalism and sports industry students about the role of sports media in activism.
Named one of UTNE Reader's "50 Visionaries Who Are Changing Our World," Zirin writes the weekly online column Edge of Sports in addition to his work for the Nation, and has contributed to numerous publications including the New York Times, Vibe Magazine, the Washington Post, and the Los Angeles Times. Zirin's also the author of eight books including A People's History of Sports in the United States(2009); The John Carlos Story: The Sports Moment that Changed the World (2011); and Brazil's Dance with the Devil: The World Cup, the Olympics, and the Fight for Democracy (2014).

This is the first in a couple of steps to prepare our site for submission to Media Molecule. It's a sacrifice, but we have to make it in order to comply to their rules. The reason is simple: my theme uses images from their Fansite Kit, which explicitly says we cannot use any other images other than those from the Kit if we choose to use the kit at all. So, because of that, we have to remove all traces of images found only in the Fansite Kit. In the longrun, however, you guys will benefit, as this guarantees us LittleBigPlanet news and information(and other "suprises") from Sony and Media Molecule themselves.
Well, it's rather...odd. But I suppose it should turn out to be fine.
AWWW, I was wondering what happened to it, but at least it is for a good cause.
In the future, I'll work on a compliant(meaning it abides by the new rules) version of it. I never deleted it from the forum, I just disabled it for users, so it will be relatively easy to fix. It's not a priority at the moment, though, because I've got a lot of other things I'm working on.
Okay. That's cool at least.
Obviously there's a bunch of stuff in each category, but it's an idea of what I'm working on.
as unecessary as this was, I like the new banner and I think you've done a good job on it! :) Kudos.
Nice work guys, will be great to be offically recognised.
Would it be possible to make the notifications of forums with unread threads more prominent?
I hope those "surprises" are worth it.
If it's no longer available, why am I still using it?
Yeah, only users can't 'wear' the skin. Shame; that theme was really good.

Be a part of the conversation! Get candid access to working writers from all over the country as Writers House instructor (and former bookstore owner) Alex Dawson talks craft (via video chat) with some of the year's hottest pen pushers.
"Inside the Writers House" invites you into the homes, offices, and writing rooms of acclaimed authors, providing an inside eye on their working life and a level of intimacy often lacking in more formal settings. An obvious reference to the televised Actor's Studio seminar, "Writers House" interviews are likewise craft focused, but strive for an earthy spontaneity unencumbered by prepared queries and index card cues. Visits are conversational and plastic, largely molded by (and dependent on) audience questions. In addition to the conversation, most sessions include short readings, writing prompts, and personal "tours" (chances are you'll meet their pets).
Books by IWH guests are available at the RU B&N (just look for the stepladder display bearing the IWH logo). In some instances, signed ex-librīs labels are available to those who purchase books.

These are all common statements from fitness clients and physical therapy patients. They have complaints about certain exercise activities that are difficult, unsteady, aggravating, and just plain annoying. The activities that provoke these responses usually involve getting up and down off the ground, single leg biased training, carrying a weight, and / or pushing a sled.
To make progress in rehab and fitness, you need to get comfortable with being uncomfortable. If your fitness regimen involves scented candles, soothing music, and nothing that makes you uneasy, then I doubt it has much value. Training challenges that restore movement skills, improve strength, and add muscle mass will create some discomfort. Developing the mindset that embraces the challenge makes all the difference.
Modern medicine is keeping us alive longer, so now we need to put some effort into staying lively longer. Mastering specific movements will improve our quality of life and help us stay independent and injury-free. I have come up with several exercises you can use to make yourself stronger, more durable, and develop a healthier, more functional body. An exercise that I have found to be efficient and effective is a Weighted Carry.

NV LIFE is a health and well-being organization established in 2010. It has developed breathing- based processes and techniques to restore optimal health. From children to chronic patients with terminal ailments – all have effortlessly reversed any kind of suffering. Its science is based on the principles of quantum physics.
It works on a simple formula that "Breathing is inversely proportional to thoughts". The Cure works on the simple process of observing the breath. When we observe breathing, thoughts begin to diminish.


Children are great. No matter what the circumstances are, no matter who the mother or the father is, no matter how they were conceived, a child is a gift from God, and an occasion for celebration. Children draw us into the mainstream of life and put us in solid contact with the things that matter: honesty, commitment, generosity, self-giving. These are the virtues that make human life healing and delightful. Learn more.

How Can There be Too Many Children?


I'm going to Hel. And I'm taking you with me!
Journeying to visit departed loved ones almost always means s journey to Hel. It's not as scary as it sounds.
First I set the mood. Candles. Incense. Those always help me travel. The smell of white sage is almost enough to put me in a trance. But that's how I've trained myself to respond. I always use that incense when I journey. So my brain knows when I smell it burning that something's up.
Then I drum. And chant. As I'm journeying to Hel I chant Hela's name. That sets my intention firmly in mind. Intention is a big player in these scenarios. Without proper intention I would just wander about aimlessly. But I have a goal. Keeping that in mind helps.
Soon I'm in a trance. I keep drumming and chanting. Next thing I know I'm at the gates of Hel. I always experience this realm as a type of desert. Hot. Dry. Dead. It is a rather bleak landscape. But I press on.
Hela greets me. I throw some meat at the dog at the gates. Hela seems to appreciate that gesture.
She is beautiful to me. Well half of her is anyway. Beautiful and calm. But for me there's always a windstorm in her wake. But she herself is the calm in the midst of that storm.
I ask to speak with a departed loved one. She nods and goes inside the gate. I wait. Then she returns. Sometimes with the loved one I wish to speak to. Sometimes with someone else. Sometimes she returns alone and tells me that no one has any wisdom to share with me at this time.
If I'm lucky and someone wishes to speak with me we'll have our conversation. With Hela standing close by as if to watch. It seems to me she likes to know exactly what's going on. I never question her intent.
Then it's time to leave. I thank Hela for her assistance. I thank the departed loved ones. I begin drumming again. My journey has ended for the day.
Thats a quick overview of how I talk to the dead. Pretty easy once you've mastered getting into trance. And Hel is not such a bad place after all!

India still miles from creating its own 'Alibaba'

India still miles from creating its own 'Alibaba' | Business Standard News
In what could be a dampener for those betting on its so-called digital expansion and expecting it to produce another online giant like China's Alibaba, India's mobile broadband penetration in 2013 (based on per 100 inhabitants) was a mere 3.2 per cent, data released by the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) show. This was much lower than the global average of 26.7 per cent and placed India at the 113th spot among 138 countries.
India's mobile broadband reach was smaller than neighbours Nepal (13 per cent), Bhutan (15.6 per cent) and Sri Lanka (7.8 per cent). Some African countries like Ghana (39.9 per cent) and Nigeria (10.1 per cent), too, were much ahead. By comparison, China, which also has a large population like India, was ranked 78th with a mobile broadband penetration of 21.4 per cent. Singapore, with 135 per cent penetration, topped the list.
In fixed broadband penetration, India's performance in 2013 was even worse. With a reach of a poor 1.2 per cent, it was ranked 125th among 190 countries. The global average was 9.4 per cent. Again, China was much ahead, with a penetration of 13.6 per cent.
This implies India's broadband internet usage, either on mobile devices or computers, remains very limited. In terms of percentage of households with internet access, India, with a 13 per cent penetration, was ranked 75th among developing countries. China, by comparison, was ranked 33rd, with a 44 per cent penetration. Other developing countries like Brazil and South Africa were much ahead, with 42.4 per cent and 39.4 per cent, respectively.
Also, the global numbers seem to counter the buzz that the social media platform is attracting Indians in droves to the internet. The country's social media penetration as a percentage of active internet users in January 2014, according to Global Web Index, was a meagre 12 per cent - the lowest among 23 countries surveyed on this parameter. While Canada (82 per cent) topped the list, China had a penetration of 42 per cent.
Facebook Inc Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg considers India a priority market, where the popular social media platform has started 'monetising' its service, with its user base in the country exceeding 100 million. And, with 40 million users, WhatsApp has become the country's most popular instant chat application. Thanks to these, besides other factors, many were given to believe that India had a fair chance of being home to the next bunch of online giants.
True, the country has some of its own e-commerce big boys, such as the $7-billion Flipkart, which are working to change the way Indians might shop in the future. But a look from the global standpoint seems to reveal that India is far from creating a company like Alibaba, whose market capitalisation after recently listing on the New York Stock Exchange stands at $231.4 billion.
Among key reason for low internet penetration in India is the huge delay in completing the government's ambitious national fibre network project to connect about 250,000 gram panchyats with high-speed internet. The programme, which was slated to be completed by 2014-15, has now been postponed to 2017. Also, state-owned corporations BSNL and MTNL, which control more than 80 per cent of the country's fixed-line business, have not pushed fixed broadband and preferred to invest in mobility.
The department of telecommunications has cited slow speed as a reason for low internet penetration. It has also blamed for slow speed the limited availability of spectrum and old copper networks that carry fixed broadband internet. Besides, with mobile operators paying hefty price for 3G spectrum, financial troubles have forced many to slow down rollout of services across the country. The government had last year decided to change the definition of broadband, increasing the minimum speed requirement from 256 kbps to 512 kbps. But it could not increase further because of infrastructural constraints.
