Q: Spring boot + angular 2 Heroku deployment I have a big issue. I'm trying to deploy Spring Boot + Angular 2 web app on heroku but don't know how to do it. I tried several things including:

*

*Making a .war file and deploying it to heroku (source here)

*Deploying project as standard java application (source here)
but none of these worked. The first attempt didn't work because I constatly got 404 not found, and the second one didn't work due to, I think, some jar file wasn't found in the location which was described in the Procfile.
Can anyone give me a link, an example, or write a step by step instruction how to achieve this. Thank you.

A: The most simple way to do it:

*

*run ng build in angular 2 project root (if you are using angular-cli) and copy the content of dist folder to src/main/resources/static/.

*create Procfile (for maven):
web: java $JAVA_OPTS -Dserver.port=$PORT -jar target/*.jar

*commit and push changes.
Also, you need spring-boot-starter-web present in dependencies. Which has embedded tomcat and automatically configured to serve static content from the static folder.

A: If you deploy your app as a standard Java application, you can combine it with the Node.js buildpack to run ng build during the Heroku build.
$ heroku buildpacks:add heroku/nodejs
$ heroku buildpacks:add heroku/java
$ git push heroku master

The Node.js buildpack will detect your package.json, install Node.js and run npm. Then the Java build can proceed as normal.
There is a guide for doing something very similar but with Grunt: Using Grunt with Java and Maven to Automate JavaScript Tasks

A: Use JHipster: https://jhipster.github.io
Once installed, run:
$ yo jhipster

Then run
$ yo jhipster:heroku

On the one hand we have Kinnear and Pardew trying to convince us that our squad is currently strong enough and deep enough to finish top 10 in the EPL, while on the other we clearly struggled against a side sitting in 19th place in the old 4th Division.
Player By Player – Did Newcastle Show They Were Better Than League Two?
As a bit of therapy I went through all 14 players who played last night to analyse what exactly they showed us, taking away the comfort blanket of the fact that the scoreline was a very flattering 2-0.
They both clearly have ability but have basic faults as football players, neither of them can head the ball or shoot cleanly at goal.
It doesn't mean they are hopeless but they are very basic handicaps for strikers who both stand well over 6ft tall.
Newcastle Player Walks Man Of The Match Award But Has He Got What It Takes?
His crossing is generally terrible and like most other Newcastle players he doesn't look to pick anybody out, preferring just to launch it into the area or hit the first man.
Who Was Your Newcastle Man Of The Match v Morecambe?
It wasn't a classic but it is all about getting to the next stage.
The question though is who stood out for you?
Alan Pardew has ironically called on last season's League Cup finalist Curtis Good to make his first team debut for United in this Capital One Cup fixture, good luck and hopefully the first of many for the young Aussie.
Alan Pardew has been in combative mood this week as the pressures of early season pile up at his door. Here he speaks about overcoming the challenges thrown at him.
While getting through is the main thing, it would be nice if the fringe players could do it in some style as well.
It will be the first time Morecambe's 6,400 capacity will have been full and the 1,800 travelling fans will rightfully expect more than just a new stadium to cross off their list.


So I went back into the garage and rescued our adventurous angel. After all, he had held out for so long. More importantly, he is a cogent reminder of the holiday spirit that should never be packed away, taped up and stored in a dark place. What did Jesus say?... "Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven."


Life is full of challenges and opportunities. For centuries, science and research have been producing new developments to make the world a better place. Experience has shown that innovations are generated exactly where people from different disciplines, companies, institutions and countries come together and exchange ideas and knowledge. This diversity can also be found at Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany where an international team is continuously trying new paths – whether by using intelligent materials to improve electronic equipment, monitoring the quality of food and medicines, exploring the possibilities of genetic engineering or treating cancer.
Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany s 350 years of work are proof of the good performance of German companies in the field of research and development. I wish all the participants a successful 2018 conference with inspiring discussions and the possibility to further enhance international cooperation.

A. Installing Mac OS X 10.5 If your computer came with Mac OS X 10.5 already installed on it, you can skip this appendix—for now. But if you're running an earlier version of the Mac OS and want to savor the Leopard experience, this appendix describes how to install the new operating system on your Mac. A.1. Getting Ready to Install For starters, you need to make sure that you and your Mac have what it takes to handle Mac OS X—specifically: • A Macintosh with a G4, G5, or Intel processor. Those old Power Mac G3s and PowerBook G3s have finally fallen off the Mac OS X upgrade path. (And G4 machines require an 867-megahertz chip or faster.) Basically, most Macs manufactured since the end of 2004 are eligible, which isn't bad at all. • Plenty of free hard disk space. You need 9 GB free to install the full Mac OS X 10.5—more if you install the Developer Tools, less if you decline to install all the optional languages and printer drivers (more on this in a moment). • A lot of memory. Apple recommends at least 512 MB of memory, but Mac OS X absolutely loves memory. For the greatest speed, install 1 gigabyte—2 or more if you can afford it. (And these days, you probably can.) • The latest firmware. Firmware describes the low-level, underlying software instructions that control the actual circuitry of your Mac. Every now and then, Apple updates it for certain Mac models, and it's very important that your Mac has the absolute latest. If yours doesn't, a message will appear to let you know during the Leopard installation. Some Macs might just spit the DVD right out. Quit the installer and grab the latest updater from www.apple.com/support/downloads. • A copy of Leopard to install. Apple sells Leopard in several ways. There's the regular Leopard DVD, for example, and there's the Family Pack, which authorizes you to install Leopard on up to five Macs in the same household.(Neither version is copyprotected; only the honor system stops you from installing on a sixth Mac.) And then there's the version that comes with every new Mac. It's labeled Mac OS X Leopard Disc 1, but it's the same thing as the sold-separately DVD. (Disc 2, in this case, contains all the other programs that come with a new Mac, like the iLife software suite.)

1. The engine valve drive mechanism adopts a hydraulically supported ball rocker arm structure. Compared with the hydraulic lifter type valve drive mechanism generally used on general gasoline engines, the novel valve drive mechanism has the advantage of relatively small friction torque. The required driving force is also small, which can effectively reduce engine power consumption and reduce fuel consumption.
2. In order to effectively reduce the weight of the whole vehicle, the 1.4-liter gasoline engine adopts an aluminum alloy cylinder, which has achieved a very obvious lightweight effect.
3. The special metal material and special plastic processing air intake pipe are used to replace the traditional metal air intake pipe, which not only receives the lightweight effect, but also can effectively reduce the intake pipe wall resistance, improve the intake efficiency and increase the engine power.
4. The cutting-type connecting rods processed by advanced technology are used to cut the large-end holes of the processed connecting rods with special breaking equipment, instead of the sawing and grinding process originally used. This makes it possible to use the saw-toothed "Huff" face of the break link to ensure an absolutely accurate fastening position, thereby reducing friction and extending the life of the link.
5. The hot-sleeve camshaft can not only reduce the weight of the camshaft, but also achieve higher cam profile accuracy and more accurate valve timing than the original camshaft.
6. The throttle adopts electronic control device, also known as E-GAS electronic throttle. This control device can uniformly coordinate and reasonably manage the instantaneous requirements of engine torque and output power under various working conditions of the vehicle, such as driver's acceleration, overtaking, and starting air conditioning. In this way, the operating state of the engine at each operating point is always in the optimal range, which can meet the requirements of low emission and low fuel consumption, and optimize the driving performance of the whole vehicle.
7. Improve the arrangement position of the engine intake system, which can effectively reduce the intake air temperature of the engine and increase the intake air density, so that the engine can output more power on the basis of the increase of the charging efficiency. The specific improvement is to arrange the intake pipe of the engine on the left side of the engine front end module and above the cooling water tank.
8. In order to improve the anti-corrosion ability of the cooling water tank and prolong the service life of the water tank, the cooling water tank fins arranged in the front end module of the engine are covered with plastic.
9. In order to prevent the engine oil pan from colliding with the uneven bottom surface and causing damage to the engine, a metal shield can be optionally installed under the oil pan.
10, in order to effectively insulate, sound insulation, and isolation, so that it does not pass into the passenger compartment to affect the ride comfort, POLO car installed an insulation shield plate in the exhaust pipe.

Oregonian: Choosing your dream college: Admissions advice for finding the right fit
Author: Oregonian staff
Read the original story in the Oregonian.
Perhaps the single thing all prospective college students have in common is that they want to go to a "good" school. How, then, do you define "good"? Is it media rankings or athletic team wins? Graduation rates or faculty awards? Is it a beautiful campus far away from home or a familiar environment nearby?
"Yes, it's all of that and more," said Yohlunda Mosley, assistant vice president for enrollment management at Portland State University. "Some students want large schools with strong athletic programs, some want urban environments, some want to go a school where all their relatives attended. Then there is the influence of peers and the expectations of parents."
Milyon Trulove, vice president and dean of admission and financial aid at Reed College in Portland, simplifies the relativism of concepts of "ideal" and "good" in picking schools.
"Ultimately, students want an institution where they feel they will be successful and where they feel they will make friends," he said. "They also want to know that the classes they are taking and the education they are receiving will get them to their next place. They want to have options after graduating."
From the perspective of higher education institutions, Mosley said they encourage students to focus on fit — both academic and social — in selection.
"We want to students to consider where they can thrive and be their best selves, so they find a setting to develop their minds and interpersonal skills for that next opportunity," she said.
Telling transcripts
Though many factors go into making that final decision, the first hurdle is getting accepted to the college or university of your choice.
"Doing well in high school is the difference between hoping a school chooses you and choosing which college you attend," Trulove said. "Put yourself in the driver's seat."
Becoming a marketable college student begins in high school.
"When admissions officers look at transcripts, can they tell a story about students' experiences in high school?" Mosley said. "Is a student taking challenging courses? Is he or she exercising their analytical thinking, problem-solving and critical thinking through their classes?"
"Challenging" is another relative word, as it will mean different things for different students. In some schools, that may mean taking a selection of Advanced Placement (AP), International Baccalaureate (IB) or Honors classes. But it's better for a student to find the appropriate level for achieving exceptional grades, especially in core classes, than to overemphasize rigor, the experts caution.
Admissions officers are also looking at trends in transcripts.
"If a student starts weak but grows in GPA and rigor of courses, that speaks volumes," Mosley said. "It can demonstrate how that student hunkered down and focused, so now grades are trending up. That speaks as much about his or her academic record as a stellar academic report for all four years. It shows perseverance."
At more selective or rigorous schools, the strength of courses may be more of a factor. Dennis Galvan, interim vice provost and dean of Undergraduate Studies at the University of Oregon in Eugene, recommends students apply to a range of universities — some that are a stretch for them, some that seem readily well-matched, and one or two that are a safety or backup school.
"Doing well in high school is the difference between hoping a school chooses you and choosing which college you attend. Put yourself in the driver's seat."
Milyon Trulove, VP and dean of admission and financial aid at Reed College in Portland
Variables beyond grades
Higher education institutions also look beyond the transcript to get a sense of students' interests and involvement. Mosley said admissions personnel are generally looking for balance of schedule; academics, but also outside recreational or community service activities.
Trulove said the emphasis and interest colleges place on extracurriculars varies widely. If there is a trend, it is that quantity of activities is not necessarily as impressive as authentic interests. Trulove also said that some schools, including Reed, have joined Turning the Tide, a Harvard Graduate School of Education initiative, in recognizing valuable contributions beyond athletics or clubs to caring for family, working a job and other community engagement.
Vibe visits
The experts emphasized the value of physical visits to students' top choices. They recommend students visit widely, but when possible, visit their top choices more than once. Also, try to coordinate visits for when current students will be on campus.
"The life and energy of any campus is predicated on the students," Mosley said. "Every campus has tour guides who are current students and are excellent sources of information. They have a level of credibility with prospective students different from an administrator. The current students are interacting with faculty, involved with clubs and organizations, yet they aren't far removed from the application and admission process."
Though students and parents can sign up for official tours, there are multiple ways to visit a school, according to Mosley and Trulove. Some institutions host open houses or fall visit days for high schoolers. Some have summer camps or seminars for high school students. Some even offer overnight visits for seniors. If physically visiting a campus isn't possible, the next best option is to talk to alumni and current students about their experiences in addition to admissions officers.
Trulove encouraged taking notes during and after each visit to remember the pros and cons, as months may pass before you make a final decision.
College planning timeline
Milyon Trulove, vice president and dean of admission and financial aid at Reed College in Portland said the following is a typical timeline for planning purposes:
Begin campus visits in the second half of junior year.By end of junior year, narrow choices to a top 10 list.
In fall of senior year, continue campus visits, get questions answered.
Complete financial aid application in October.
Begin application process to top school preferences.
In January/February, apply to newly discovered or second-choice of schools.
Acceptance or rejection notifications will arrive in spring.
The National Reply Date is May 1 to commitment to a school.
Financial factor
There's no denying that the cost of attendance is critical in decision-making, but Trulove says it should come late in the process rather than at the beginning.
"Sometimes people decide where to apply based on price tag without getting the true financial package," he said. "Instead, you should make these financial judgments in April, sitting with your family and weighing your decisions based on value and real cost."
The financial aid, scholarships and personal contributions will look different for each student at each institution.
"Even the more expensive schools will, if the fit is good, provide financial aid that offsets what might look a big sticker price," Galvan said. "One should be mindful of what is realistic for a family in financial terms, but not close off possibilities at the application stage. "
Once students have acceptance letters and financial package offers from institutions, they can begin to compare and decide.
"For example, you may think this school is a better value and you like it about the same as the others, or this school costs more but based on what you know, it's absolutely worth it," Trulove said.
Undecided is OK
Mosley reassured that many students come into college uncertain of where they want to focus, though it's helpful to have some sense of purpose. She says some students know exactly what they want to do — engineering, for example — and start that path right away. Others can work with an academic adviser to discuss aspirations and create a roadmap for success and timely graduation. Schools recognize that students coming from high school are still navigating the experience of who they are, Mosley added, and are not expecting students to have all their plans perfectly made.
Galvan adds a caution not to spend high school planning a college application.
"Make the most of that educational experience, in the full sense of education — classroom, sports, clubs, community service, exploring outdoors, connecting with peers," he said. "Come into college with a sense of interests and possible direction, but don't pick a major too soon. It can result in winding detours. Take advantage of general education requirements to explore in the first year as much as possible. You'll best develop core analytic, information processing, communication and leadership skills in a topic area about which you are passionate, curious, engaged."

During the research for my blog post on Holacracy I came along a very nice posting of Greg Satell explaining the "4 Things You Should Know About Networked Organizations". Greg Satell is a thinker and regular writer for Forbes and Harvard Business Review. He is doing quite some nice reviews on the theories of networks.
If It Can Fit On An Org Chart, It's Not A Network: The truth is that networks are informal structures. If it can fit on a traditional org chart, it's not a network.
Silos Themselves Aren't The Issue: The most efficient networks are small world networks, which have the almost magical combination of high clustering and short path lengths. So silos aren't the issue—high clustering promotes effective collaboration—the trick is to connect the silos together effectively.
Small World Networks Form Naturally, If They're Allowed To: Over time, most systems will tend to become small worlds if they are left uninhibited – if connectivity is not discouraged.
Networked Doesn't Mean Flat: General McChrystal's Special Forces Command was still hierarchical and clustered into small operating groups. What changed is how they were interconnected. Rather than a collection of units, they became a synchronized organization that acted as one. So what really needs to change is not how we describe our organizations, but the role of leaders within them. Whereas before, it was the role of managers to direct work, in a connected age we need to instill passion and purpose around a shared mission.
So regardless whether you are running for the "Holacracy model", the "podular organization" / "beta organization", the "consent organization" or any other form of "networked structure", the overall directive for the future governance as well as willingness to change towards these models is to find and strenghten a "commonly shared purpose".

Tips From Augusta Precious Metals

Investing has become quite interesting over the last year. The world of cryptocurrencies got introduced to the general public, and now everyone thinks that they can become day traders. Luckily, the world of investing has been around for a long time.
Experienced investors have seen every trick in the book. At the moment, there are projects in the crypto world that are gaining hundreds of thousands of percentiles each year. People like Charlie Munger and Warren Buffer were quick to point out that the entire niche looks like a bubble about to pop. Visit this page for more info.
That might be true. The graphs are eerily similar to the Dot Com crash that happened in the early 2000s. When something is too big to handle its own weight, it is bound to crumble. When money is involved, this means that wealth will be distributed in other sectors.
The economic situation of the United States is in danger at the moment. Trillions of dollars are being printed every year to keep the economy stable. This is not good for anyone that's keeping cash under the pillow. Instead of cash, you should be keeping gold or silver. Here are some of the reasons why.
#1. Classic Investing
Unless something catastrophic happens, people trust the government. When a crisis happens, the general public starts to lose their minds, and a herd mentality starts to overtake everyone. No one knows what to do, and that's how a lot of mistakes get made.
At the moment, we're living in stable times. Or so the general public thinks. We're all walking on thin ice, and the first crack already happened a year ago. The pandemic pointed out that there were a lot of flaws in the system and in the government. Follow this page for more https://www.reuters.com/article/global-precious/precious-gold-eases-from-2-month-peak-as-yields-tick-higher-idUSL4N2RZ29E.
The banks heard all of that banter, and they proposed a solution. Let's give everyone a check for a few thousand dollars instead of improving the economy, which has made things a lot worse. The problem is now postponed for another time. The Simpsons is a show that predicts a lot of things. Here's what today's situation looks like.
The main character, Homer, drinks a lot of alcohol on a specific day. Then, his wife comes and tells him that if he keeps drinking, his hangover is going to be bad, and his day will be ruined. Then, he turns to her and tells her that it will be a problem for his future self.
That's exactly what the government is doing. Stocks and bonds are always going to pay a specific amount of interest each year. There are not a lot of risks when you go for an investment fund. However, that entire scenario changes when a crisis happens. If the dollar becomes worthless all of a sudden, what will everyone do? All of your investments over the years are going to become worthless.
#2. What Can You Do?
There's an interesting phenomenon that's called the Pareto principle. It states that 20 percent of the things you do are responsible for 80 percent of the results you're seeing. If you want a stress-free retirement, you need to invest. This is true everywhere. The entire world listens to the music of the top 20 percent of musicians.
We're all watching the top athletes when it comes to sports. The same thing is true for movies. Luckily, this principle is true about investing. Most of the time, the people that get super wealthy from picking a startup company like Google or Facebook do it by investing a small amount of their entire portfolio.
The crisis that's about to hit the United States is something that has been seen and experienced before. For that reason, you need to allocate at least 20 percent of your portfolio to precious metals. All of your other assets can be brought back in the case of a crisis when gold and silver get their place on the throne.
The dollar can't live without being linked to a hard form of money like gold. When that happens, the people that have been stockpiling precious metals will instantly jump into a class above everyone else. Since you're an investor, it makes sense to be on the early train. A small risk can equal a great reward.

The State Department announced October 11 that the Moroccan Islamic Combatant Group has been designated as a foreign terrorist organization (FTO) under U.S. law.
This designation means that any of the terrorist group's assets held in U.S. financial institutions are now blocked by the U.S. government. Also, its members will now be denied visas, and it will be a crime for U.S. citizens or others within U.S. jurisdiction to provide it with support or resources.
A listing of foreign terrorist organizations is available on the State Department's Web site.
As part of ongoing U.S. efforts against terrorism, the Department of State has designated the Moroccan Islamic Combatant Group (GICM) as a Foreign Terrorist Organization under the Immigration and Nationality Act. This designation makes it illegal under U.S. law for persons in the United States or subject to U.S. jurisdiction knowingly to provide material support to the group; it blocks all funds in U.S. financial institutions in which the organization or its agent has an interest; and it provides a basis for the United States to deny visas to representatives and members of the organization.
The U.S. list of designated Foreign Terrorist Organizations now numbers 42.
The United States calls on governments across the world to take action, as have we, to isolate these terrorist organizations, to choke off their sources of financial support, and to prevent their members' movement across international borders.

Spieth Wins at Pebble Beach
February 13, 2017 /in Upcoming Events /by The Links at Ireland Grove
PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. (AP) — Jordan Spieth soaked up every step of scenery on the 18th hole at Pebble Beach, one of the prettiest places in golf and even more spectacular on a Sunday when the only work left is to hoist the crystal trophy.
All that was missing from the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am were the highlights.
That's just how Spieth wanted it.
Staked to a six-shot lead, Spieth never gave anyone much of a chance by putting for birdie on all but one hole. The lone highlight was his 30-foot birdie putt on the 17th hole with the Pacific Ocean as a backdrop, and by then it was already over.
"Played a lot of boring golf today," Spieth said, "which was exactly what we needed."
He closed with a 2-under 70 for a four-shot victory over former U.S. Amateur champion Kelly Kraft, a close friend from Dallas who couldn't get a putt to fall that might have put a little pressure on Spieth.
As easy and clinical as Spieth made it look, it was no less special.
"This is a bucket-list place to win — here, Augusta National, St. Andrews, there's only a few in the world. It feels really special. It was amazing walking up the 18th green knowing that we were going to win. It's just such a unique position. I tried to soak in."
It was his first 54-hole lead on the PGA TOUR since the Masters, where he lost a five-shot lead on the back nine. On this day, Spieth thought back to the 2000 U.S. Open at Pebble Beach and the way Tiger Woods closed out his record 15-shot victory by trying not to drop a shot in the final round. Woods didn't make a bogey over the final 26 holes in severe conditions. On a course saturated by rain, Spieth played the final 28 holes without a bogey. His longest par putt Sunday was 5 feet.
"That's a dream round when you're leading by a bunch," Spieth said.
The 23-year-old Texan won for the ninth time in his PGA TOUR and became the first player since Woods with that many victories before turning 24. Woods won 15 times. Equally impressive is that Spieth won for the fifth time by at least three shots.
"He didn't have his best stuff, but he did exactly what he was supposed to do and played a great round of golf," said Brandt Snedeker, a two-time Pebble winner who played in the final group with Spieth and shot 70 to finish fourth. "Sometimes those are the hardest rounds of golf, when you have the lead that he had. It was fun to watch him do his thing out there."
Kraft, who closed with a 67, settled for a couple of consolation prizes. The $777,600 for second place was nearly double his earnings from his rookie season last year. He also earned a spot at Riviera next week in the Genesis Open.
U.S. Open champion Dustin Johnson closed with a 68 to finish alone in third, enough to have a chance to reach No. 1 next week if he were to win.
Spieth's only other birdie was on the par-5 second when he two-putted from 12 feet.
One day after he took only 23 putts on the bumpy greens of Pebble Beach, he didn't make hard anything, and didn't look to be trying to make them from above the hole to avoid putting himself in a position to drop shots.
No one could put any pressure on him over the opening seven holes, which is where rallies begin at Pebble Beach.
If there was a key shot for Spieth, it came on the eighth hole. He tugged his tee shot into the wet rough to the left, facing a 210-yard shot over the ocean and into the breeze to one of the toughest greens at Pebble. It came out perfectly, 20 feet from the cup for another routine par.
"I was very, very excited once that ball landed on the green," Spieth said. "That was really avoiding a big number there. That could have been a double or triple very, very easily, if that doesn't come out the right way. So that was the shot of the day for me."
Spieth became the seventh straight PGA TOUR winner in his 20s, and he got back into the hunt for No. 1. He had fallen far enough behind that even by beating a strong field at Pebble Beach, it will not move him from No. 6.
Jason Day, the world No. 1, bounced back from his 75 on Saturday with a 67 to tie for fifth with Gary Woodland (65) and Torrey Pines winner Jon Rahm (68).
Spieth has four top 10s in his four starts this year and already appears to be peaking as the Masters gets closer. He has shot under par in all 16 rounds he has played this year, 17 in a row dating to the TOUR Championship last fall.
The only disappointment for Spieth was not winning the pro-am with country singer Jake Owen. They tied for third, four shots behind Ken Duke and Carson Daly.

"I think that God created everybody in a different way, and I think I can do anything but in a different way. It is my unique ability." ~ Abad V
"Six Stories Up has been a blessing, not just to Abad but to our whole family. Abad is such a happy, creative and spontaneous kid— acting has become a very important part of his life. Being able to be part of this amazing production has helped him gain more self-esteem. It has also proven to him that his disability is not an impediment to accomplishing his dreams. My wife and I are very grateful for the opportunity that Tellin' Tales and Six Stories Up has given to our son. Thank you!" ~ Carlos V
Celia, an apprentice from year's Six Stories Up in Equality (2014), has an amazing story like so many who have come before her. She is a living testimony of someone who never gives up.
"As a childhood cancer survivor I have always wanted to really, really advocate and express the need for research for childhood cancer because it is underfunded in the cancer world. Being in Tellin' Tales Theatre's Six Stories Up in Equality gave me a chance to finally do this on a big scale. I am very honored that I reached so many hearts with my story. I want to thank my mentor, Mary, for helping me express my story in a way that made me feel proud. I am so glad I got the chance to participate in this wonderful experience with Tellin' Tales and enlighten so many." ~ Celia B
This production (Six Stories Up in Equality- 2014) has been a profound experience for Jessie and our entire family. I don't know how to put into words, but—Jessie's sense of herself has completely transformed. The pairing of her with Ben and Matt was inspired. I still remember them hearing them laughing and interrupting each other while they developed the script. And Tekki you are a magnetic and charismatic creative force. Your smile always makes me smile, and I'm not a big smiler. I love the love you put into the show and your magic in creating community. I could go on and on, but that's all for now. We are extremely grateful for having been part of this show. ~ M & S
What does the Boston Ballet have to do with your support?
More than a decade ago, a young apprentice with Six Stories Up had no idea the impact it would have on her life and future. She shared this with us:
"Rehearsing and performing with Tellin' Tales Theatre as a ten-year-old was a tremendous opportunity that I still treasure. With my mentor, I was created a story, learned about theatre and performed for an audience, boosting my confidence, my writing and performing skills...skills that I've carried with me to this day as a professional musician and dancer. Even more significantly, TTT allowed me to connect with and grow friendships with people of all different ages and abilities."
Claire Fassnacht now works for the Boston Ballet as Student Services Administrator and gives credit to Tellin' Tales for providing a foundation of training that helped lead her to a dynamic, successful career.

If you have been sold a great deal on the wrong aircraft, you have been sold a bad deal. Many owners will purchase an aircraft, only to turn around in 12 months and sell because it does not fit their needs. The buying and selling of aircraft is costly and time consuming, so getting it right the first time is a big key to success of aircraft ownership. Every aircraft model offers something unique and different from each other. Some models offer speed but lack efficiency. Some offer technology but sacrifice performance. Some offer efficiency and performance in exchange for high acquisition cost.
We take a full scale approach when identifying the aircraft that is right for you. This starts by having accurate and reliable sources of information. From there, we identify your current and projected future needs in an aircraft i.e. flight profile, airport requirements, operating cost analysis, expected length of ownership and more. This gives us a full scope of your needs and this information is measured against the performance and abilities of each aircraft model to find what best suites you.

Art & Science of Eavesdropping
Modern technology has changed the character of governance. All over the world! Georgia is a distinguished catcher-up in the ways secular, and thus, we have found ourselves right in the vanguard of most sophisticated eavesdropping matters. Etymologically speaking, the word EAVESDROPPER connotes an individual with an intention to listen to the dripping of water on the ground from under the eaves, which is part of the roof, overhanging the walls of a building. Isn't there something contemporarily attributive, built into this
linguistic interpretation of the phenomenon of eavesdropping, also known as tapping or bugging? Have you ever eavesdropped on your neighbor? No? Then you have missed a lot in life? Oh boy, this is so thrilling! As a matter of fact, very little has changed in the means of controlling human behavior except a couple of technicalities: an individual eavesdropper whose services was profusely used in older times, has given way to governments, equipped with state-of-the-art tapping facilities in our epoch. Secret listening by a government to its subjects' private conversations has become one of the most powerful tools of keeping in check their purportedly anti-governmental behavior or facilitating the process of criminal investigation against an alleged felon. Eavesdropping is a pastime for the nosy, but for governments it is a serious business of perpetuating its power and influence. And modern technology allows that with an amazing fruitfulness in favor of a government. People around the globe are getting used to a new style of their relationship with their governments, but there is something awfully unpalatable in the entire shtick – nobody likes to be eavesdropped, especially when eavesdropping technique goes much beyond conventional ways – from behind our kitchen doors to an unlimited territories, which makes bugs totally ubiquitous and unrestricted in time. Naturally, we are all kicking back by suggesting new laws and all kinds of other democratic instruments in an attempt to maintain our privacy, thus protecting our personal lives from being invaded by the governments, who are certainly using all that comes handy for becoming a winner in the perennial struggle between governors and the governed. Georgia, being a modern independent state – albeit not wealthy enough to afford expensive bugging facilities for universal usage on permanent basis – is trying its best to pass for a sophisticated member of international community, pushing forward the covert surveillance acts. The attempts to adopt a relevant law have failed several times, but it was eventually passed by doubting legislators. Yes, we have a law now, but not all of us are happy with the new regulatory tool. It is presumed that the freshly adopted legal document on the rules of bugging is not democratic enough to let people feel free from breaking their privacy. As a result, after a short period of bugging relaxation, we again started being cautious about the contents of our telephone conversations, or Skyping and messaging habits. Just like before! We now know that being careful while on the phone would not hurt. What is this? Is it the indispensable demand of our times? Are we legally losing our right to maintain our privacy – at least within the most acceptable limits of decency? Probably so! And this is not happening only in Georgia. Tapping our lines, wires, cells and computers is so commonplace all over the planet that it probably makes no sense to contradict the IT onslaught. We will have to give in. The sophistication of communication technology says so. We like the progress, don't we? Well, if we do, then we have to put up with the situation which is prompting that there is no gain without pain in life. Now the question is if a piece of legislation – no matter how fair and strong or unfair and week it might be – could help improve our lives in terms of keeping our privacy intact and safe. Democracy and all sorts of constitutional freedoms guarantee the adoption of laws, curbing the art and science of eavesdropping, and the restriction of governmental propensity for making maximum use of tapping opportunities. This said, I might also have to emphasize that eavesdropping, bugging, tapping, listen in, overhearing private conversations, snooping and spying, prying and nosing round, invasion of our residences and offices, and putting bugs in our cars and clothes will never be stopped by any legislative act. If government needs it, the government will do it. Correct me if I am wrong! And all this hullabaloo about who should be the custodian of keys and safes where the secretly recorded information is sitting, does not make a huge sense. Who will ever know what is recorded and how and when the recorded material is used if the imminent security of our motherland comes under question? State security is untouchable, as I understand, and it cannot be a subject of wide and wild public discussion. I thought this was the ABC of safety of our citizens, provided by the state. Hence, the governmental power to have an access to clandestinely recorded – even private – information, and the right to use it accordingly with educated vigilance and reason sounds kind of natural. This logic being adamant, we may relax and not kill ourselves over adopting the tapping laws. Sounds dictatorial? Oh my! Are we really nursing the illusion that our democratically minded society will ever be totally free from a certain measure of dictate?

IN DEFENSE OF OBJECTS, (2009)
Buy it from Bear Star Press or Amazon
Bear Star Press Press Release, Cohasset, CA - As the title of Linda Dove's debut poetry collection suggests, the book takes as its primary focus things and our relationship to them. From "Outspeak," the book's opening poem: "You sit dumb on the shelf. Maybe you are an urn, a jewel box, a shell. An artist's / scrawl." But Dove's project is a two-way interrogation. She "calls out" the objects, attending closely to what they seem to want to say, even when they are shapeshifters, as in "Nomenverbum" where the object, in this case a word, is speaking sometimes as noun, at others as verb. "This part of speech bolts from solitude, shakes itself / into another form . . ." and we must "peel back the bell" too "know the spiel." Dove's wordplay—note how she riffs on "bell" here—imbues her investigation with a great deal of joy and irony.
Elsewhere, alluding to the artwork on her book's cover, Dove writes that objects "are more than the sum of their parts / . . . They may also be holes / left in the husk of a book, like dark matter. Which, though unfelt, / is not neutral." Or, as in "Morandi at the Met," the things may be so humble that only the artist will feel their mysterious pull. "The objects touch, or don't. The thick brown stripe, like a flag / that one day turns white, huddles next to the soul-patch gleam of two cups. // He doesn't know what they'll do next. Inched toward the edge of the table, / they look forward and back."
I confess to feeling weary of the gimmicks and intentional obliquity of many of the manuscripts that cross my desk. When I encounter a collection this nuanced and careful, and this alive to the concrete world in which I live, it makes me glad to be a publisher:
Peel back the bell,
its iron curve, its sounding skin.
Its peal twists in air.
No doubt, you know the spiel.
—from "Nomenverbum"
The meditative, quiet beauty of Linda Dove's In Defense of Objects helps defend the reader against all sorts of daily blindnesses. Although there are lovely poems here about art, Dove leads us to see the ordinary material world, too, as shaped and heightened. "Until memory is allocated, objects do not exist," says a computer science document quoted here, and many of Dove's poems will now be allocated to my memory. Not least of the objects worth defending, this poet shows, are words themselves, which she employs with subtlety, wit, and depth of feeling. —Mary Jo Salter, author of A Phone Call to the Future: New and Selected Poems
From reliquary to relic, from the idol that cannot hold our gaze to the Appaloosa's eye that looks back, the subjects of these roving and well-crafted poems in Linda Dove's debut collection draw our gaze to the immediate and imperative duty of attention. Indeed, to read In Defense of Objects is to experience first hand both the prehensile skill of the sculptor and the philosopher's skepticism and rigor. In Defense of Objects is a remarkable book of praise. —Miles Waggener, author of Phoenix Suites
As far as Linda Dove goes toward a defense of the material world, she never fails to return us by her own means to the inexorable nature of things. In Defense of Objects becomes at times conscious of forms only to show a dissatisfaction with the limits of form, exploring details without overwhelming us, always making us hungry for her new lexicon of things. If we can take a lesson from the Appaloosa's eye, we'll find ourselves watched as we are watching, captured in the very act of poetic engagement. It is our world Dove rebuilds, for here we find the texture of things we have neglected, forgotten, or simply never taken the time to see. —George Moore, author of Headhunting

Born in 1920, Geoffrey Bush was a chorister at Salisbury Cathedral, and later educated at Lancing College and Balliol College, Oxford. He jointed the staff of the Extra-mural Department of Oxford University in 1947, moving to London University in 1952. Elected Chairman for the year of the Composers Guild of Great Britain, in 1964 Geoffrey Bush visited the USSR as delegate of the Guild. From 1952-1987 Geoffrey Bush was the Staff Tutor in Music at the Extra-Mural Department of London University.
An ardent champion of English music, he wrote widely on the subject, also contributing regularly to BBC Radio 3 programmes, including Music Magazine and Music Weekly. Geoffrey Bush's catalogue of works is far-ranging in scope and content, including 2 symphonies, many smaller scale orchestral pieces, and music for chamber ensemble. Bush's music is as varied as his tastes and interests. His Symphony 1 (1954) was first performed at the Cheltenham Festival in July 1954 by the City of Birmingham Symphony orchestra, conducted by Rudolf Schwarz. This symphony, as with the structures used in much of his work, has its roots in neo-classicism. It was performed at the Proms in 1958 by the BBC Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Maurice Miles. Symphony 2 ("The Guildford") was commissioned for the 700th anniversary of the City of Guildford in 1957.
Geoffrey Bush died in February 1998.


This piece got changed from the original idea, though not by much. Originally it was going to be a locket. The metal piece is handmade from brass. The stone is a pink topaz (dyed, of course, as there are no natural pink topazes). The chain is long. it is made of silver, copper and brass links.

The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) has received official notice that Astaldi Construction Corporation has defaulted on the US 301 widening project (Sun City Blvd. to Balm Road) in Hillsborough County. Astaldi is working through the surety companies to make sure all sub-contractors on the project have been and will continue to be paid. The FDOT is working with the surety companies to make sure the most qualified contractors take over the projects as soon as possible. Both FDOT and the surety companies are committed to ensuring there is little to no impact on the project to get it completed.
The project involves widening approximately four miles of US 301 between SR 674 (Sun City Center Boulevard) and Balm Road in Hillsborough County.
The improvements include widening the roadway to a six-lane divided road with a raised medians and paved shoulders, adding a five-foot sidewalk to the west side and a twelve-foot multi-use path to the east side of the roadway and building new stormwater drainage ponds.
The project is expected to finish in late 2020.
