Food & Drink International: The Bistro Group
Global Magazine Profiles Multi-Unit McAlister's Deli® Operator
Food and Drink Magazine, whose focus is "editorial explaining best practices for CEOs, presidents and other leaders in the restaurant chain, food processing, manufacturing and service/distribution businesses," according to its site, profiled McAlister's Deli® multi-unit operator, The Bistro Group.
The article, which ran on June 7th, states that, "…McAlister's Deli®, which was developed more for the millennial demographic, is experiencing healthy business. 'We've had very strong same store sales growth over the last eight years or so,' he [Chairman of the Board Sean Conway] says. 'That brand has been really thriving for us.'"
McAlister's Deli® Celebrates Opening of 400th Restaurant
McAlister's Deli® recently celebrated a major milestone—the opening of its 400th restaurant.
McAlister's Deli®, the rapidly expanding fast casual restaurant chain, celebrated a major milestone—the opening of its 400th restaurant. And according to its President, Paul Macaluso, it's a feat that's been 28 years in the making.
"Behind the scenes, McAlister's works to help ensure that every franchisee is set up for success. Operational efficiency and simplicity, superior products with a broad menu, differentiated guest experience and exceptional customer satisfaction are only some of the ways McAlister's Deli® has long set itself apart," Macaluso said. "As we celebrate the 400th restaurant in the brand's growing system, it's clear we have a recipe for success that—quite simply—works."
And yet, despite the success that McAlister's Deli® has experienced over the past two decades, the brand isn't one to rest on its laurels. The company just announced another successful year of franchise growth in 2016,. The company's success was fueled in part by new franchise agreements signed with prominent multi-unit franchise owners. The signings validate that the franchise is constantly looking for new and innovative ways to move the brand forward.
"We're proud to offer real, handcrafted food and delicious sweet tea that's simple, yet elevated and always made-to-order using the finest and freshest ingredients," Macaluso said. "But most importantly, we're proud of the fact that every single one of our restaurants offers more than a place to eat—they serve as community gathering places, each with their own story to tell where people can linger and enjoy the comfort of great food in great company. That's what makes McAlister's Deli® not just an ordinary sandwich shop—and people appreciate that differentiated experience."
When McAlister's Deli® opened its first restaurant in 1989 in Oxford, Mississippi, it was in a renovated gas station complete with checkered floors and a roll-up garage door. Today, McAlister's Deli® has since expanded from its start in the south to become a formidable player in the fast casual restaurant industry. With the recent opening of its 400th restaurant, McAlister's Deli® has now expanded into 28 states throughout the country. For Macaluso, much of this ongoing success is due to passion to bringing people together with genuine hospitality.
The goal now is to continue to leverage the brand's unique position within a rapidly growing industry while maintaining its innovative nature. "Four hundred restaurants—that says a lot about how universal and in-demand our product is. Four hundred locations is a tremendous milestone for McAlister's Deli®, and we know it wouldn't be possible without our dedicated team members and franchisees," Macaluso said. "It's an exciting time for both us as a company and also for our franchisees.
Restaurant Finance Monitor: McAlister's Deli® Leans on Shared Services, Off-Premise after 400-Unit Milestone
Company thanking its franchisees, but also using milestone to push new app to consumers for greater efficiency for off-premise diners
According to Restaurant Finance Monitor, McAlister's Deli® celebrated the latest milestone of 400 locations they reached in April. Said President Paul Macaluso, "It's a huge milestone for us, we're really excited about it."
The article further states:
To celebrate, he said the company is thanking its franchisees, but also using the 400-unit milestone to push the new app to consumers, enticing them to download with a free club sandwich. The new app is a part of the brand's push for more off-premise dining and greater efficiency for those off-premise diners.
"The app is important for a couple reasons, it's an investment for people to put an app on their phone so we want to make it worth while. And we know if we can get people to order from us once, and see how easy it works they'll do it again in the future," said Macaluso. "So we have a really aggressive offer to get them to put us on their phones."
He said the push for off-premise efficiency has proven to be a revenue and margin benefit since there aren't any refills or cleaning required. Above all it's access, and customers have proven that they want it. Macaluso said he's seen a slight shift to off-premise. And while they don't need to change things yet, he and the management team are pondering smaller-format locations to cut overhead more in the future if off-premise continues growing.

Q: Xml conditional parsing using java I want to extract the only selected tags out of a XML file:
<Shape>
    <ShapeType>H2</ShapeType>
    <Annotation>
        <Properties>
            <PropertyValue PropertyName="field_label">label.modelSeriesCd</PropertyValue>
            <PropertyValue PropertyName="ContainerType">conditionContainer</PropertyValue>
        </Properties>
    </Annotation>
    <FootnoteNumber>1</FootnoteNumber>
    <Name>label.modelSeriesCd</Name>
    <Rectangle>
        <Rectangle X="14" Y="94" Width="43" Height="12" />
    </Rectangle>
</Shape>
<Shape>
    <ShapeType>H2</ShapeType>
    <Annotation>
        <Properties>
            <PropertyValue PropertyName="field_label">label.modelSeriesMd</PropertyValue>
            <PropertyValue PropertyName="ContainerType">mContainer</PropertyValue>
        </Properties>
    </Annotation>
    <FootnoteNumber>1</FootnoteNumber>
    <Name>label.modelSeriesCd</Name>
    <Rectangle>
        <Rectangle X="14" Y="94" Width="43" Height="12" />
    </Rectangle>
</Shape>

I want to extract only those  tags which has "conditionContainer" as the value of "propertyValue" and all the tags inside  tag
I am trying below code :
private static void visitChildNodes(NodeList nList)
{
    for (int index = 0; index < nList.getLength(); index++)
    {
        Node node = nList.item(index);
        if (node.getNodeType() == Node.ELEMENT_NODE)
        {
            if(node.getNodeName().equalsIgnoreCase("shape"))
                System.out.println("Node Name = " + node.getNodeName() + "; Value = " + node.getTextContent());

please suggest me a way to do this.

A: I suggest a recursive search through your Document object, since what you're looking for is a few levels deep.
Make a function that recursively calls itself passing what node you're currently on along with what tag you're looking and the value that tag must have.
Something like...
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
    String xml
            = "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>\n"
            + "<Shapes>\n"
            + " <Shape>\n"
            + "     <ShapeType>H2</ShapeType>\n"
            + "     <Annotation>\n"
            + "         <Properties>\n"
            + "             <PropertyValue PropertyName=\"field_label\">label.modelSeriesCd</PropertyValue>\n"
            + "             <PropertyValue PropertyName=\"ContainerType\">conditionContainer</PropertyValue>\n"
            + "         </Properties>\n"
            + "     </Annotation>\n"
            + "     <FootnoteNumber>1</FootnoteNumber>\n"
            + "     <Name>label.modelSeriesCd</Name>\n"
            + "     <Rectangle>\n"
            + "         <Rectangle X=\"14\" Y=\"94\" Width=\"43\" Height=\"12\" />\n"
            + "     </Rectangle>\n"
            + " </Shape>\n"
            + " <Shape>\n"
            + "     <ShapeType>H2</ShapeType>\n"
            + "     <Annotation>\n"
            + "         <Properties>\n"
            + "             <PropertyValue PropertyName=\"field_label\">label.modelSeriesMd</PropertyValue>\n"
            + "             <PropertyValue PropertyName=\"ContainerType\">mContainer</PropertyValue>\n"
            + "         </Properties>\n"
            + "     </Annotation>\n"
            + "     <FootnoteNumber>1</FootnoteNumber>\n"
            + "     <Name>label.modelSeriesCd</Name>\n"
            + "     <Rectangle>\n"
            + "         <Rectangle X=\"14\" Y=\"94\" Width=\"43\" Height=\"12\" />\n"
            + "     </Rectangle>\n"
            + " </Shape>\n"
            + "</Shapes>";

    Document xmlDocument = DocumentBuilderFactory
            .newInstance()
            .newDocumentBuilder()
            .parse(new InputSource(new ByteArrayInputStream(xml.getBytes("utf-8"))));

    Node node = findPropertyTagAndValue(xmlDocument.getFirstChild(), "PropertyValue", "conditionContainer");
    if (node != null) {
        System.out.println("Node Name = " + node.getNodeName() + "; Value = " + node.getTextContent());
    }
}

public static Node findPropertyTagAndValue(Node node, String propertyTag, String propertyValue) {
    if (node == null) {
        // The node we're looking for does not exist
        return null;
    } else if (node.getNodeType() != Node.ELEMENT_NODE) {
        // Move to the next sibling node
        return findPropertyTagAndValue(node.getNextSibling(), propertyTag, propertyValue);
    } else if (node.getNodeName().equalsIgnoreCase(propertyTag) && node.getTextContent().equalsIgnoreCase(propertyValue)) {
        // We found the node we are looking for
        return node;
    } else if (node.hasChildNodes()) {
        // Check into the child nodes
        Node childNode = findPropertyTagAndValue(node.getFirstChild(), propertyTag, propertyValue);
        if (childNode == null) {
            // Nothing found in child node, so move to next sibling
            childNode = findPropertyTagAndValue(node.getNextSibling(), propertyTag, propertyValue);
        }
        return childNode;
    } else {
        // Move to the next sibling
        return findPropertyTagAndValue(node.getNextSibling(), propertyTag, propertyValue);
    }
}

Results:
Node Name = PropertyValue; Value = conditionContainer

Preventive Law I: Adhering to Institutional Procedures and Policies—Hiring Practices Preventive Law I: Adhering to Institutional Procedures and Policies—Hiring Practices 11 Beth Tyner Jones
An attorney with experience in relevant cases will discuss hiring practices from the viewpoint of the department or division chair's role. Discussion will focus on the importance of following effective procedures and institutional policies in drafting the position description, appointing the search committee, managing candidate files, checking references, and interviewing candidates on the phone and in person.

Preventive Law II: Adhering to Institutional Procedures and Policies—Faculty Performance Evaluation Preventive Law II: Adhering to Institutional Procedures and Policies—Faculty Performance Evaluation 13 Beth Tyner Jones

Topics for discussion include the importance of adhering to effective procedures and institutional policies when documenting professional performance, the role of student evaluations of instruction, peer review of teaching, the evaluation of scholarly activities, and contributions to the work of the department or division.

Dealing with Difficult Faculty Conversations Dealing with Difficult Faculty Conversations 15 Jeanine Stewart
Department and division chairs can prevent many issues from mushrooming into major problems through early intervention. Sometimes chairs delay difficult conversations with colleagues because they lack expertise to encourage change or to deliver bad news tactfully. How can the department or division chair understand better why a faculty member is less effective than expected? What strategies can motivate and support faculty members to become more productive? What skills and strategies might chairs develop to facilitate difficult conversations? Participants will explore how to have a frank conversation with a colleague and have an opportunity to practice proven techniques.

Building and Maintaining a Collegial Department Building and Maintaining a Collegial Department 19 Melvin Foster
What are the strategies that experienced chairs employ to build and maintain a collegial atmosphere within a department or division? What lessons have they learned about working with their colleagues, students, and staff members toward departmental goals? How can chairs encourage diversity of points of view and respect for all department or division members? Participants will explore these questions with an experienced administrator.

Becoming a Leader on Campus Becoming a Leader on Campus 21 Marc M. Roy
Department and division chairs occupy a pivotal role in the administrative structure of a college or university. The job often has been described as "leading from the middle." How does the chair learn to lead? What are the potential challenges in the role of leader? How can the chair influence faculty colleagues within and beyond the department or division? Department or division chairs must develop a wider vision and understanding of campus-wide initiatives in which they might assume a leadership role. What campus resources do chairs tap to develop an institutional perspective? How can campus governance be a vehicle for this development? How can a chair find a mentor? What opportunities might be available when the chair is no longer the department or division leader? Participants will learn how to identify opportunities for leadership at the chair level.

Serving as Department or Division Chair: Beyond the Job Description Serving as Department or Division Chair: Beyond the Job Description 3 Catharine O'Connell
Few chairs planned to serve as administrators, managers, or chairs when they were in graduate school or starting their academic careers. Most job descriptions for department chairs are simply lists of activities for which the chair is responsible, suggesting that chairs are task-oriented managers who schedule courses, handle student complaints, order equipment, prepare reports and evaluations, and take care of other departmental business. Chairs also must assume responsibility for departmental leadership, representing the department to the campus and community, serving as departmental advocate, and mentoring junior faculty members. How do chairs manage these responsibilities along with their teaching and scholarly duties? What are models for the chair role? What tasks and projects might be successfully delegated to colleagues? What does the dean or CAO expect from chairs? Participants will discuss their institutional roles using interactive exercises and small group discussions.

The Department or Division Budget The Department or Division Budget 5 Susan Schneider Hasseler
The department or division operating budget is often viewed as a simple set of line-item allocations. Chairs will learn what a budget is (and isn't), the different types of budgets, how their unit budgets fit into the larger institutional picture, effective practices for budget management, how to support colleague chairs in the budget process, and how to make an effective case for additional funding for the department or division.

Using Data Effectively Using Data Effectively 9 J. Andrew Prall
Good data can inform decisions about revisions to existing academic programs, help determine new curricular directions, and suggest strategies for attracting students to the major. How can departmental or divisional-level data—including data from assessment of learning outcomes, program reviews, campus satisfaction surveys, enrollment trends, and national surveys such as the National Survey of Student Engagement—be used to strengthen departments and divisions? Chairs will learn how to use data for revisions to the curriculum, to conduct program reviews, and to attract students to their programs.


"The function of architecture is not, and never has been, to take one's breath away: it exists to create a built environment which is habitable, agreeable, beautiful, elegant and solid," Leon Krier, a postmodernist and pioneer of New Urbanism, claimed as a critique of the modernist movement.
While I'm not an apologist of postmodernism – which feels like a parody of all architecture that came before it – Krier's statement, I find, is still relevant today. In a way, it was prophetic, as he made this statement long before the age of the internet, Instagram, and Pinterest.
If you're like me, you're inundated every single day with breathtaking imagery of speculative projects on all your channels. And the sheer volume of these images means that, to be inspired, something must be eye-catching and unique. Complex forms, abnormal materials, interesting drawing styles.
Has architecture been reduced to imagery?
As a student, it can feel like it. The ultimate goal of most of our studio projects is making something we can showcase in our portfolio, which we feel will differentiate us from all the other talented students around us applying for jobs at world-class design firms. Our projects aren't being built, so the image is the end.
I don't believe this phenomenon is problematic in and of itself. Breathtaking architecture is not immoral; it simply isn't the function. Our architecture exists, as Krier said, to be primarily about people, to provide habitat, resilience, sustainability, and beauty. It is okay for architecture to be humble, understated, honest. If it does all of these things and is breathtaking on top of them? Gravy. But if we set out in studio to create a series of drawings and models which we feel will set us apart, perhaps we're in it for the wrong reasons.
We're architects; we're not graphic designers.
I'm preaching to the choir. This is a reminder I need, because I find myself scared of creating something banal. I desire to dream up spaces no one has thought of before; to win studio design awards; to be known for my work. But that's not what the profession of architecture is calling us to.
This message – that architecture isn't about image – was pounded into my head this semester by my studio professor, Vince Snyder, who worked as one of Frank Gehry's top designers for a long time. And I found this surprising; aren't Gehry's wild, parametric structures the first thing that comes to mind when you think of breathtaking, image-centric architecture?
I would think so, except when I think back a few years ago when I had the opportunity to take a tour of the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles. While, at the time having just graduated high school, I expected to be wowed by the windblown forms – and I was – what I remember being surprised by wasn't just the exterior taking my breath away, but how human, light-filled, and beautiful the interior spaces were. It was habitable, agreeable, beautiful, elegant, and solid. And yes, it was breathtaking.
Go crazy. Design spaces with complexity and contradiction. Push the boundaries of architecture. Make stunning images that get all the likes and repins. This kind of popularity is beneficial because it showcases to the general public the incredible skill we possess as architects and students; it has the potential to increase our value.
But remember the image isn't the end. Making the user the center of the story is.

The Roe V. Wade Challenge is Coming to SCOTUS – Is the Country Ready to Fight for Women's Rights?
Becky Sarwate
When I was in grade school during the early 1980s, America hadn't yet "progressed" to active shooter drills. In the inner city of Chicago, we were still living out the final days of the 20th Century Red Scare. Though children were periodically marched to the basement for instruction on how to get low and cover their heads, there was no immediacy to the exercise. Ronald Reagan was President, and "The Russians are coming!" was little more than a recess taunt. In retrospect, it was a simpler and more innocent time. My playmates and I were not worried about becoming a 21st Century statistic – the one in which almost 3,000 American kids and teens are killed each year by domestic gun violence.
We Generation X kids were also blissfully naïve in other areas of civic life. For example, we took this passage from How the Supreme Court Makes Decisions on faith:
"For a final ruling, at least five of the nine justices must agree. One or more of those justices is asked to write the 'majority opinion.' Justices who disagree may write a 'minority opinion.' All opinions are released. But the majority opinion is the final ruling."
And then that's it and society moves on, right? Sometimes we get stuck with the lasting, unpleasant consequences of Bush v. Gore (2000) or Citizens United v. FEC (2010), but the egregiously racist Dred Scott v. Sanford (1857) was eventually overturned. Our United States Supreme Court is imperfect, because comprised of humans, but the sacred body's arc of justice has historically bent us in the right direction. This was and is a paradigm that must be taken for granted in order to keep secular hell from breaking loose.
Though perhaps the scales should have fallen from our eyes much sooner, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's 2016 stonewalling of Obama nominee Judge Merrick Garland was a game changer. The naked partisan unwillingness to support a sitting, democratically elected President's fill of the SCOTUS seat left vacant by Antonin Scalia's death, established that, per Politico's David Greenberg:
"It's pure politics now, and no one pretends otherwise.
Today's partisanship culminates an astonishing transformation. It's hard to recall now, but for most of the past century almost nobody would admit to voting for or against a nominee because of his or her partisan affiliation. In fact, although opposing judicial nominees was not uncommon in the 19th Century, between 1894 and 1968, the Senate rejected just one presidential nomination to the high court. Deference to presidential prerogative prevailed."
The eight states that have passed abortion restrictions this year that could challenge the constitutional rights established by the Supreme Court in 1973 are no coincidence. In the aftermath of Donald Trump's 2016 election to the U.S. Presidency, the stacking of SCOTUS with Justices Neil "Ideological Litmus Test" Gorsuch, and Brett "Sexual Assault" Kavanaugh is one of Trump's few delivered campaign promises.
This is no Handmaiden's drill. The right, having made excellent progress in shoving the nation's wealth upward, leading us into pointless and costly wars, and disenfranchising as many brown people as possible, is coming for the white, male, patriarchal Holy Grail – Roe v. Wade. It's a good thing the greater electorate didn't give into Hillary Clinton's "blackmail" about the judicial consequences of elections, right Bernie Bros and Broettes? That evil woman has been wrong about…nothing (sob – "#ImWithHer).
So what do we do now, if like me, you believe wholeheartedly that only a woman should make the ultimate decisions about her own body, but accept that the standoff that's been brewing for over 40 years is actually coming? The New York Times quotes Elizabeth Nash, a state policy analyst at the Guttmacher Institute, a research organization that supports abortion rights, as saying:
"The appointment of Kavanaugh focused legislators across the country on abortion…It focused conservative legislators to pass abortion restrictions that they hope will be challenged and end up before the court, so the court can undermine or overturn abortion rights."
Will those of us who oppose this step backward in public health, individual liberty and equal economic opportunity focus as resolutely? As resolutely as those who actually dehumanize the living? A number of abortion ban protests and rallies are popping up in states and cities across the country. We need to show up for those en masse.
We need to vote, run for office and campaign for those who believe that women are actual people, not incubators for the impoverished, controllable proletariat. The time is now, and we owe not only to our daughters, but to the mothers, grandmothers and aunts who fought for the truth of our personhood established in 1973. A truth that is under massive, sustained assault.
Ladies and Male/Other Gendered Allies: it's time for secular hell to break loose.

Piers Morgan sparks Twitter backlash after Simone Biles comments
"What is it with you and strong black women?"
Estel Farell RoigAgenda Editor
Piers Morgan has been criticised on Twitter after telling Olympic gymnast Simone Biles to return to the Tokyo Olympic Games after she withdrew from events over her mental health.
The controversial former Good Morning Britain Presenter issued the 'advice' after the four-time gold Olympic medallist spoke about the importance of preserving her mental health and the need to "protect our minds and our bodies", as reported by BirminghamLive.
Sharing his new column on the Daily Mail, he tweeted: "Sorry Simone Biles, but there's nothing heroic or brave about quitting because you're not having 'fun' – you let down your team-mates, your fans and your country."

He immediately faced a huge Twitter backlash, with people questioning his empathy and understanding of mental health, as well as his expertise.
One wrote: "Piers Morgan, who once stormed off the set of his TV job never to be seen there again, now lectures Olympic athletes."
And another one said: "Didn't you quit in the middle of your live television program (letting down your cast, crew and viewers, according to your logic) because one of your cast mates said they disagreed with you? You can't take one person disagreeing with you, but you want to lecture Simone Biles?"
"What is it with you and strong black women?" wrote another.
While another Twitter user simply said that Piers was wrong, writing: "Wrong. If a gymnast is not in the right headspace it can literally kill them. One wrong move.
"If she'd stayed in, she may have been horribly injured and it still would have negatively affected their medal chances. She left FOR her team."
And another one wrote: "Let's all drop what we're doing to read a critique of the greatest gymnast of all time written by a man who definitely has to stop and catch his breath at the top of a staircase."

Benefits cheats
Benefits fraud mum claimed £42k whilst having an affair with her landlord
Jennifer Aitken, 39, claimed the cash from the DWP but failed to tell them her landlord was the father of her two children.

A mum who fraudulently claimed over £42,000 in benefits while having an affair with her landlord was today told by a sheriff she will be spared jail .
Jennifer Aitken, 39, falsely claimed from South Lanarkshire Council between October 2012 and April 2018.
Aitken told the DWP that she originally needed support but it had "snowballed."
She broke the law by not telling the council on her application that she had two children with her landlord, Archie Durie.
Aitken pleaded guilty in November at Glasgow Sheriff Court to embezzling housing benefit of £42,874.85.
Owen Hassan murderers jailed for 40 years after brutal slaying outside Glasgow pub
She failed to appear at her last sentence date and a doctor's letter was sent regarding her recent ill health.
Aitken was told by Sheriff Andrew Cubie that she won't go to jail.
He said: "This is a case where I can impose a custodial sentence but what I will do, when you are fit, is to impose a period of unpaid work."
Aitken shouted to Sheriff Cubie: "Thank you so much."
Lawyer, Linda Findlay, told the court that Aitken still lives at the flat owned by Mr Durie "rent free."
The court heard Aitken lied on her benefits application form when it came to a question about her relationship with her landlord.
She denied having a relationship or children with Durie.

The DWP received a "tip-off" that the accused was living with "her partner named Archie Durie" and they investigated.
Aitken when interviewed denied any knowledge of the fraud.
Prosecutor Lauren McRobert said: "Aitken later admitted to having an affair with her landlord and that he was the father of her sons.
"She said she needed support and then it snowballed.
"She said he did not live there at the time and had another family."
Aitken was informed that she shouldn't have claimed housing benefit based on her background.
She was re-assessed by the DWP and lost her housing benefits due to the relationship with Durie.
Aitken, from Cambuslang , was bailed meantime for further background reports and will be sentenced in March.


This sounds important. Humans now have the ability to make materials with properties never before seen in the universe. That's a big deal.
You can get semi-conducting behavior out of natural substances (search for "crystal radio" and "razor blade" for an example). But you' be hard pressed to find anything on the planet outside of an IBM lab that can switch optical energy using magnetic fields.
Always a bit behind the curve, I'm finally understanding why nanotech is a big deal.

I have two concerns regarding the proposed helipad that I hope the council will consider.
1) That use of the pad might be extended in future to offering commercial joy flights up and down the Westernport/Flinders foreshore coastline. It would be a shame for the coastal community to have to endure the regular noise of helicopter traffic (the noise pollution around the 12 Apostles is a salutary example) Unfortunately, the air regulations only require aircraft to maintain a 500ft vertical separation when flying down the coast and noise levels are outside council control in this mode. I would hope that any permit granted would specifically limit the use of the pad solely to commuting to/from the estate, and not allow joy flight/charter operations.
2) No indication is given of the likely flight path over other communities, but it is likely that the aircraft may overfly Merricks or Balnarring/Balnarring Beach if coming from the CBD or Moorabbin. Existing helicopter traffic is already a common noise issue for Balnarring, as many flights seem to overfly at the minimum legal altitude, often circling for an extra view.
I visit Flinders quiet often. A helipad for ONLY the Westpac (or other emergency) chopper is fine by me. But catering to the wealthy or to business profitability by suborning the happiness of the not so well to do is unethical and immoral.
I'm a long time resident of Balnarring.
I can't see any positives or benefits for residents of the Peninsula in this proposal.
We would get more noise and disturbance and it will be very unlikely that the fly in / fly out restaurant visitors will take the time to visit other areas or businesses on the Peninsula.
As a permanent resident of Shoreham I would like to object to this application for a planning permit.
1. There is no consideration in the application of the environmental effects -noise, wind, dust - of take off and landing, and flight on the surrounding animals (koalas,wallabies,cattle) and birds ( yellow tailed black cockatoos, sea eagles). Given there are many of these, an environmental effects statement should be provided.
2. Overhead noise is very rare here. The noise study does not take this into consideration and assumes the usual standard of noise levels. We have very little overhead noise. This is one of the special attractions of this area and of coastal villages. A helicopter or helicopters - it could be 12 on one day, will radically impinge on the quality of life of permanent residents living along Westernport shoreline.
3. Other coastal villages will be affected. There is no indication in the application of the more distant flight path of the helicopters coming to and going from Pt Leo Estate. This should be part of the application. The flight path as set out in the application is limited to the immediate area of the property, and thus inadequate.
4. The application states that a Cultural Heritage Management Plan is not required. There is no evidence that the Bunurong Land Council has been involved in that decision. An assessment by the Bunurong Land Council should be part of the application, and required by Council.
5.There is a very well set up airport at Tyabb, and it would be possible for patrons to be met by a car/limosine and driven to Pt Leo Estate. This would minimise all the potential negative effects of day visitors to the area, and protect the environment. This is a very reasonable and alternative option available to the owners of the Pt Leo Estate.

Rrajcë is a village and a former municipality in Elbasan County, in eastern Albania. As of the 2015 local government reform, it became a subdivision of the municipality of Prrenjas. The population at the 2019 census was 12,121. The subdivision consists of seven villages: Rrajcë Fushë, Sutaj, Skenderbe, Skenderbe Bardhaj, Urakë, Katjel, and Kotodesh. The village of Rrajcë is found within the boundaries of Shebenik-Jabllanicë National Park. The nearby forest was declared part of UNESCO's transnational natural site, The Ancient and Primeval Beech Forests of the Carpathians and Other Regions of Europe.

Demographics
In statistics gathered by Vasil Kanchov in 1900, the village of Rrajcë was inhabited by 840 Bulgarian Muslims. Other villages in the modern day municipality were not included in those demographic statistics.

During the 2000s, linguists Klaus Steinke and Xhelal Ylli, seeking to corroborate villages cited in past literature as being Slavic speaking, carried out fieldwork. Rrajcë was noted as being fully Muslim and Albanian speaking while the linguists found no contemporary speakers of Slavic languages in the village, with local elderly people stating they spoke only Albanian.

Barack Obama and Mitt Romney are standing on opposite sides of a giant scale right now and it doesn't tilt in either direction.
The race for the Presidency of the United States is a dead heat at this point.
It depends on which poll you read: Gallop has Obama up a few points, while Rasmussen gives Romney an edge.
Despite the hundreds of millions of dollars the campaigns are spending marketing their respective candidates, neither have an overall position that they are communicating for their man.
More shocking is the fact that the promotion of the two campaigns sounds like the marketing of the Bobbsey Twins.
The stance on various issues is different of course, but the overall positioning – represented by tag lines or positioning slogans – is an exercise in TweedleDum and TweedleDee PR.
There's no positioning image to go along with this, just the slogan, which, according to Breibart, is a rip off of a Clinton slogan.
Betting on American … Believe in America.
Come on, guys. How about just a little differentiation?
Yet neither campaign has a properly positioned itself with Jobs. Yes, they talk about them, but words come and go. Where's the positioning image? Or, in the words of Laura Ries' new book, the Visual Hammer?
Where's a prominent silhouette of a hard hat over the slogan Believe in America?
Such an image from the Romney campaign would communicate volumes.
The positioning for the Obama campaign in 2008 was easy. They grabbed the right word and drove it into the mind – Change. This word represented an "against" position.
Bush, and the Iraq War were extremely unpopular and "Change" was change from Bush and his policies. It went down like a buttered oyster.
There was a positioning opportunity for McCain in that campaign. As the Jeremiah Wright controversy exploded across the media, McCain could have positioned Obama with Wright and his raging anti-Americanism. McCain let it go. And he lost the race.
Would McCain have won the Presidency if his campaign had challenged Obama's assertion that he had attended that church for 20 years and never heard a word of the racist rantings?
I don't know, but the outcome of the race would have been undeniably different. Positioning works.
Opponents of John Kerry's 2004 presidential bid who had served on swift boats during the Vietnam War had no such qualms. Hammering the media with evidence of John Kerry's misrepresentations of his service during the Vietnam War and that of other veterans, Kerry was positioned as a something of a coward and a liar and "Swiftboated" right out of the race.
Positioning is where you place your product or service or…candidate in the mind of your public.
It's dominant. It monitors the overall communications strategy.
The Obama campaign hasn't positioned the President.
They can't use "Change" this time. And Betting on America is only for his bus tour.
With big fanfare a few weeks ago, they rolled out a new word that was to position the campaign – Forward.
Not a bad word, but a very tough sell when the percent of the population working is the lowest since 1983, long-term unemployment is the highest since the 1930s, home ownership is the lowest since 1965 and government dependency of 47% is the highest in American history.
So, Forward doesn't really work because the economy has been going…well, backwards. To their credit, they dropped it, fast.
So, what do they use to position him? His signature domestic legislation, Obamacare, remains largely unpopular with the American public.
Positioning surveys would find the answer, but the campaign marketing continues to flounder and their strategy seems to be solely to position Romney "against" job creation by claiming some of the companies Bain Capital, the private equity company he ran, invested in companies that shipped jobs overseas.
True or not (I have no idea), it's pretty weak.
Not only that, several leading Democrats voices have been vocal in their opposition to attacking private equity firms and the venerable Washington Post, the Democratic media mainstay attacked the Obama campaign – twice – for misrepresenting Bain's activities.
The guy can speak. No doubt about that, but they are going to need something more powerful than the fact that Bain invested in companies that sent some jobs overseas (if, in fact, they did).
Yes, these are all viable issues, but there needs to be a focus. The Romney campaign needs to position Obama, not like a Jackson Pollack painting, but with a lazar-like concentration that drives him into the mind as________.
If I were running that campaign, I would survey to find what the public is truly most troubled about and what the Obama administration has done to create that.
The survey might well come up with the fact that it has created – not jobs – but a mind numbing $5 trillion dollars in new debt, which weighs on the U.S. economy like a mountain of doubt.
Much of the debt is owned by those new homies of international finance, the Communist Chinese.
There is no wiggle room on this issue, the numbers are right there.
I would hang that issue around Obama's neck and hammer it mercilessly – The Debt President.
The slogan? You could use the above – The Debt President.
But even better, I think, would be to use the rate at which the federal debt is increasing – $49,000 a second.
It's a horrifying number when you confront it.
$49,000 a second would become the rallying cry – the tip of the positioning arrow. And I would drive it into the mind of the public with a jackhammer PR campaign that was dressed up with an appropriately surveyed image.
The supporting data; the fact that U.S. government debt has been downgraded for the first time in our history, how the debt makes us vulnerable in foreign affairs and world trade, affecting American jobs, the cost of the interest on the debt alone (half a trillion a year) and on and on.
Of course, other issues would need to be discussed and positions communicated, but this is how the Romney campaign could Swift Boat Obama.
So far the Romney campaign has shown no understanding of marketing techniques involved here.
There are 90 days to go before the election. We'll see if either campaign develops a viable positioning strategy. So far, they are… missing the boat.
How about you? Does your company, have a position? How about the product or service you sell?
If not, we will work with you to develop one, even if you aren't running for President of the United States.


The fascinating thing with the merchandising and marketing departments associated with these products is that they are always looking at ways to crossover the different categories and industries.
The film is curious as the previous effort did not receive as much as other Pixar offerings in the box office, although merchandising deals since the release have been quite productive.
One of the most impressive things about KISS, besides their catchy rock melodies and unparalleled stage performances, has always been Gene Simmons' marketing and merchandising genius.
While it's not uncommon that a popular television show or a movie inspires a lot of merchandising, it is less common for popular merchandise to inspire television shows and movies.
In product merchandising, she surpassed the billion-dollar mark in 2004, and remains a leading TV character brand contender, equal in footing to all the Disney princesses.
Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising - This is a small private school with four locations in California: Los Angeles, San Francisco, Orange County and San Diego.
Unlike traditional shows that feature a catwalk, an assortment of models, and upscale fashion, Victoria's Secret has truly made an event out of its merchandising.
She did intern for Teen Vogue for a couple of years and attends the Fashion Institute of Design and merchandising, but for Montag, most people just don't get it.
With the release of The Simpsons Movie in July 2007, merchandising reached a new frenzy and "Kwik-E Mart" convenience stores were opened in several locations.

"That type of water with that type of force can create some pretty big disruptions": CN Rail on BC Floods
We've all been watching the situation in British Columbia unravel, as this significant weather event continues to transpire and wreak havoc.
Amongst the challenges people are facing in all the areas impacted, are challenges to our transportation system, along the highways and railways.
David Przednowek, assistant vice president for grain with CN Rail, joined RealAg Radio host Shaun Haney to shed some light on what the railways are dealing with on the ground.
"I think you have to start by looking at this as an unprecedented and exceptionally challenging event," explains Przednowek. "We've seen a months' worth of rainfall in that November 13 and 15 window, and we've subsequently seen a second atmospheric river go through. And there's a third atmospheric river on the way."
As Przednowek notes, this is a situation that no one on the ground can remember ever dealing with before. It's unique in the perspective that since 2000, both CN and Canadian Pacific (CP) have both operated through the Fraser Canyon.
"It's basically between Kamloops and Vancouver, so on the north end, the directional running zone starts at Coho and Nepa, and in the south ends at Mission and Page. Within that zone, CN and CP both have a line," he explains. "CN and CP run eastbound up out of Vancouver on the CP line, and running down bound it's on the CN mainline. It's a way to add efficiency."
This method has added efficiency — until as of late. Both the CN and CP lines in that stretch have been washed out, leaving zero rail transport options available. Dozens of areas were impacted, and as Przednowek explains, there were different levels of severity of impact. Some areas will be easier to fix than others, but for the heavily damaged sections, it's not a quick job.
"Think of the mountainous terrain out there, and the type of force that that water can have say coming down off a mountain side," he says. "That type of water with that type of force can create some pretty big disruptions, like massive washouts. We're not talking a small hole either."
For those large washouts, Przednowek says that filling with soil won't do the job. You need to use rip rap — which is essentially boulders and rock, that are used to stabilize and protect against water erosion and scouring. The engineering hoops and dynamics aren't easy to jump through, especially as the rain and water continues to flow.
Over the November 27th weekend, CN was able to resume traffic on the mainline between Kamloops and Vancouver, with about seven trains that moved. Prior to that, CP had their Cascades line up and running as well.
"We have been working together on a daily operating plan with CP to fleet that traffic back and forth," Przednowek explains.
As of November 30, the CN mainline is back is out of service, says Przednowek, without an ETA on when it will resume. With the looming third atmospheric river on its way, there is plenty of uncertainty on what could happen. For now, CN says they will continue working with CP to use their mainline, to keep cars moving.
"This is a day-to-day, very dynamic and very rapidly changing situation that we continue to monitor here."

Finian O'Sullivan, chairman of the South FLAG region, which will be hosting the 'Smart Coastal Areas' seminar at the Westlodge Hotel in Bantry this week.
BANTRY is the venue this week as EU-supported Fisheries Local Action Groups (FLAG) gather to promote 'Smart Coastal Areas' at a seminar from April 2nd to 4th in the Westlodge Hotel.
The organisers are The FARNET Support Unit at the initiative of the European Commission and with support from Bord Iascaigh Mhara (BIM) and FLAG South (Ireland), the latter chaired by Bantry man Finian O'Sullivan.
FLAG groups from across Europe will be meeting in Bantry to discuss 'smart' ways to tackle coastal challenge and take guidance on 'smart' development – including activities, development models and ways of working to boost the fisheries industry and coastal regions in an innovative way.
In 2017, the GDP of the Irish seafood sector was estimated at €1.15bn. More than 14,000 people are employed in Ireland's seafood sector, many of whom work and live in rural coastal communities.
Fisheries and coastal areas are impacted by factors such as depopulation, ageing population, climate change and economic decline. The EU's European Maritime and Fisheries Fund (EMFF) was set up to support initiatives by local fisheries communities through Community-led Local Development (CLLD). FLAGs can use this money to implement projects that support sustainable small-scale fisheries and aquaculture production, and coastal communities.
However, funding is not the only answer – creativity and strategic action are also needed.
The primary venue is the Westlodge Hotel, but there will be a field visit to local fisheries-related businesses and to Whiddy Island to view the progress of a tourism-related project.
29 Mar 2019Beef and Brexit go hand in and Agriculture Minister Michael Creed is confident that, while there will be changes and challenges ahead, there is a future for the beef farmers in West Cork.

U.S. stocks flat amid minor retail sales improvement
TradingPub Admin | May 13, 2013
One interesting part of stock trading education is when equities do not respond significantly to news that would generally elicit a greater change.
For example, on May 13, U.S. stocks were largely unchanged even though retail sales for the month of April were higher than expected by economists, according to Bloomberg.
The blue-chip S&P 500 Index was practically unaltered, as it was less than 1 point higher at 1,633.78 at 4 p.m. in New York, the media outlet reports. The Dow Jones Industrial Average, another highly-visible index, was largely unchanged, finishing the day 0.2 percent lower at 15,091.91.
Retail sales record modest increase
Data provided by the U.S. Commerce Department indicated that in April, retail sales increased by 0.1 percent. While this represented only a minor improvement, it surpassed the predictions of economists polled by various media outlets.
For example, market experts who took part in a survey conducted by Bloomberg predicted that the figure would fall 0.3 percent during the period. Participants in a poll conducted by Reuters had the exact same prediction.
Strong core sales
In addition to retail sales rising 0.1 percent, core sales increased 0.5 percent during the report, according to Reuters. This figure excludes transactions involving building materials, autos and gasoline.
"Recent data has been weak, so to see some sturdiness is important and needed in order for us to move materially higher," Mark Luschini, chief investment strategist at Philadelphia-based Janney Montgomery Scott, told the news source. "But given the strength we've had over the past few weeks, it isn't surprising that trading is a bit indifferent today."
Rally speculation
The U.S. equity markets have benefited from broad rallies. The S&P 500 Index has surged 14 percent so far this year, and last month, managed to rise above a reading of 1,600 for the first time.
The benchmark group of stocks has managed to generate returns rivaling those enjoyed during the tech boom of the 1990s, as data compiled by Bloomberg reveals that since March 2009, the S&P 500 has surged an average of 26.2 percent per year.
This has happened as the valuations of the stocks in the index are 28 percent lower during this bull market, according to the media outlet. The combination of the sharp appreciation and low valuations has generated significant speculation, and bears have stated that the low price-to-earnings ratios indicate that market participants are less optimistic about the broader economy than they could be.
"The size of this rally's not what keeps me up at night," Paul Zemsky, the New York-based head of asset allocation for ING Investment Management, told the news source during a May 8 phone interview. "That was a tremendous rally then, too, but I'm not getting all nervous based on the size of the rally this time, because we're not there yet in terms of valuation."

Cassini: Rings of Saturn used as a seismograph for looking inside
Two US researchers used the rings of Saturn as seismographs and drew conclusions about the interior of the gas planet from the waves that run through them. Its core is therefore not solid, as previously assumed, but rather a kind of "diffuse soup made of ice, rocks and liquid metals", they explain. In addition, the core of Saturn extends over 60 percent of the diameter and is therefore considerably larger than expected. Now in the trade magazine Nature Astronomy The presented analysis is based on data from the Saturn probe Cassini, which fell into the gas giant in 2017.
Some problems for previous theories
In order to investigate the conditions inside giant gas planets like Saturn, it was primarily their gravitational fields that had to be measured, explain Christopher Mankovich and Jim Fuller from the California Institute of Technology. The theory that Saturn makes its rings vibrate and that they can therefore be used as a seismograph was proposed 30 years ago. It was not until 2013, thanks to Cassini, that it was possible to directly demonstrate this phenomenon. The so-called C-ring therefore contains characteristic patterns that go back to fluctuations in the gravitational field of Saturn. This is exactly what the two of them have now analyzed and based on that they have developed a new model of the interior of Saturn.
Mankovich explains that the surface of Saturn is constantly moving slightly and behaving like a gently rippling lake. It rises and falls about three feet an hour. Like a seismograph, the rings record the slight disturbances caused by them in the gravitational field and the particles that make up the rings wobble accordingly. From these movements they could have inferred the composition of the interior. The interior must therefore be stable, in such a way that the proportion of ice and rock gradually increases the deeper you go. Overall, the core is said to be diffuse and not as firm as assumed. Among other things, this makes it more difficult to explain Saturn's magnetic field.

The result the analysis matches a similar find of the Jupiter probe Juno, the researchers explain. The largest planet in the solar system could also have a similarly thinned core. Both results are also a challenge for the current models for the formation of the gas giants, they still admit. These are based on the assumption that solid rock cores first form, which then attract the gas and collect around them. If the findings are now confirmed, the gas would probably have been involved in the process earlier. At the same time, the discovery of Saturn joins a recently presented analysis of Mars, which has also shown that our knowledge of the interior of other planets in the solar system is still very limited.
