The 1995 Scottish Challenge Cup final was an association football match between Stenhousemuir and Dundee United on 5 November 1995 at McDiarmid Park in Perth. It was the sixth final of the Scottish Challenge Cup since it was first organised in 1990 to celebrate the centenary of the Scottish Football League.

The match was Stenhousemuir's first national cup final in its 111-year history; whilst it was Dundee United's first since winning the Scottish Cup only a year beforehand in 1994. The tournament was contested by clubs below the Scottish Premier Division; Dundee United from the First Division and Stenhousemuir the first club to reach the final from the Second Division.

After 90 minutes of normal time and 30 minutes of extra time the score was 0–0 so the winner was decided by a penalty shoot-out; the first Scottish Challenge Cup final to be decided this way. In a best-of-five, Craig Brewster took the first penalty for Dundee United which was saved by Stenhousemuir goalkeeper Roddy McKenzie. Both clubs scored each of their next penalties which meant Stenhousemuir won 5–4. The result was notable in that Dundee United progressed through every round of tournament without conceding a single goal and still lost the final.

Route to the final

Stenhousemuir

Along with Cowdenbeath, Stenhousemuir received a random bye into the second round. The draw in the second round saw Montrose travel to Ochilview Park with The Warriors winning 3–1. The reward for reaching the quarter-final was an away game against Dundee at Dens Park with Stenhousemuir producing a 3–0 victory and first clean sheet of the tournament to progress to the semi-finals. The opposition was an away game against Stirling Albion, who had ground shared with Stenhousemuir in 1992–93. The game was played at Albion's new Forthbank Stadium which saw Stenhousemuir win 2–1 to send the club into the Scottish Challenge Cup final for the first time in its history.

Dundee United

Dundee United faced a trip to Stranraer in the first round which saw the team emerge 2–0 winners. The second round was the first and only home game of the tournament for Dundee United with the visitors in the form of Hamilton Academical with United producing a 3–0 victory at Tannadice. A trip to Clydebank was the reward for reaching the quarter-finals with Dundee United edging the opposition out to win 1–0, in the process completing a third consecutive clean sheet. Dunfermline Athletic provided the opposition for Dundee United in the semi-finals with the team producing a 4–0 victory at East End Park and a fourth consecutive clean sheet of the tournament. Dundee United reached the Scottish Challenge Cup final for the first time.

Blue Jays looking good in first place at midway point of MLB season
Stu Cowan, Montreal Gazette
When the Toronto Blue Jays were in Montreal at the beginning of April to play a couple of preseason games against the New York Mets at Olympic Stadium, I had a chance to sit down with Jamie Campbell and former Jays catcher Gregg Zaun, who cover the team for Sportsnet.
"I can tell you right now, if you get a group of guys like the Blue Jays, who are as talented as they are, if you get them all rowing the boat in the same direction, special things can happen," Zaun said at the time.
Well, the Blue Jays seem to be rowing in the same direction. The Jays hit the midway point of the season with a 7-0 win over the Chicago White Sox on June 26 to improve to 45-36 and were sitting in first place in the American League East 2.5 games ahead of the Baltimore Orioles and three games up on the New York Yankees.
The Blue Jays haven't been very good the last three years, never finishing above .500. And Zaun has been criticized by Jays players and management – including general manager Alex Anthopoulos, a Montreal native – for being overly critical.
"Broadcasting isn't always fun," Zauyn told me before the start of the season. "I am, beyond popular belief, an eternal optimist. I believe the Jays can be great, I want the Jays to be great, I'm a huge fan. But everybody says I'm Negative Nancy, I'm like Mr. Debbie Downer because I'm always talking the Jays down. The only reason why I talk the Jays down is because I'm being honest. … I have to do my job. I want the Jays to be fantastic, (Campbell) wants the Jays to be fantastic. That would make for the eternal summer for us. The fact that he and I get paid to talk about a good baseball team would be the greatest job in the history of mankind."

Will Montrealers cheer: 'Go, Jays, go!'?
PUBLISHED IN THE GAZETTE ON APRIL 5, 2014
STU COWAN
GAZETTE SPORTS EDITOR
It was a bizarre scene at Olympic Stadium last weekend: Montreal sports fans actually cheering for a Toronto team.
On Friday night, most of the 46,121 fans were on their feet roaring as Ricardo Nanita hit a ninth-inning single to give the Blue Jays a 5-4 win over the New York Mets in the first of two preseason games at the Big O. On Saturday afternoon, 50,229 cheered as the Blue Jays beat the Mets 2-0.
Sacré bleu!
Go, Leafs, go? … Of course not.
It was a special weekend as Major League Baseball returned to Montreal for the first time since the Expos left town for Washington following the 2004 season. But the Blue Jays might have grown their fan base a bit by agreeing to play the preseason games in Montreal.
If you're a Montreal baseball fan who has decided to cheer for the Blue Jays after last weekend (you don't have to tell anyone), what can you expect this season?
"The great thing about baseball, no matter what team you're affiliated with, hope springs eternal," Gregg Zaun, a former Blue Jays catcher who is now a Sportsnet TV studio analyst for the team's games, said last week while sitting in the lobby of the Château Champlain hotel.
"We have basically the same roster as last year," Zaun added. "I was excited about the roster last year, so was (broadcast partner Jamie Campbell) … the whole country was excited about it. And you know what, they're very talented. We found out last year that there were a lot of guys on the roster who don't know how to play to win. They know how to play to make money, but they don't know how to play to win.
"The one thing that everybody in Canada should be excited about is the fact there are a few changes here and there … subtle changes … and they may pay massive dividends, they may end up being nothing. But the infinitesimal chance that they might end up being good: new hitting coach (Kevin Seitzer), new year, new attitude. The Blue Jays might find their Duck Dynasty. They might find something to rally around. You never know. And that's the great thing about baseball. It could be the dumbest thing, it could be the biggest thing, you just never know what guys are going to gravitate toward. But I can tell you right now, if you get a group of guys like the Blue Jays, who are as talented as they are, if you get them all rowing the boat in the same direction, special things can happen.
"The bottom line is the Jays need two breakouts and a comeback in order to contend."
Sitting beside Zaun in the hotel lobby, Campbell added that the Jays have one of the best bullpens in baseball and they can score runs.
"It comes down to the rotation," he said. "Pitching and defence."
For Campbell, being Sportsnet's TV host for all 162 Jays games is a dream job. He grew up in Oakville, Ont., and remembers many days as a teenager taking a commuter train to downtown Toronto after school and hanging out in a hotel lobby looking for major-league players. He'd introduce himself, ask for autographs and even land tickets to some games. And before the Blue Jays landed in Toronto in 1977, he was a young Expos fan.
"I have very distinct memories of my father, growing up in the Toronto area, going on business trips to Montreal and always coming back with something related to the Expos," said Campbell, adding that he still sees Montreal as a baseball city.
Zaun, a California native, remembers the culture shock he felt the first time he came to Quebec as an 18-year-old to play at the world junior championship in Trois-Rivières. And he'll never forget the road trips to Montreal during his 16-year major-league career, which included a World Series championship with the Florida Marlins in 1997.
"We never slept in this town," he said. "When guys came to Montreal, we already knew (the city) was the 26th man. Everybody would rest up to come to Montreal. It was like, 'Save your energy for Montreal.' "This city has always held a special place in my heart and the hearts of other major-league players. There's just so much fun to be had here. Great shopping, great restaurants, great culture, great nightlife. This is a great place."
Zaun added that while there were major-leaguers who didn't want to play with the Expos, they all wanted to come to Montreal on road trips.
"God, did we have a great time every time we came to this city," he said.
Zaun also remembers the powerhouse farm system the Expos once had.
"There were some times when I played (in the minors) in 1993 against the Harrisburg Senators, which was the Double-A team for the Montreal Expos, there were like five first-round picks on that team," he said.
"We always looked at the Expos as ridiculously talented and talent rich as an organization."
Zaun almost played for the Expos during their final season in Montreal. He thought he had the job as backup catcher, but was cut on the final day of spring training in 2004 after the Expos acquired Einar Diaz from the Texas Rangers. Zaun went to Toronto instead and spent six seasons with the Blue Jays. He started his broadcasting career with Sportsnet during the 2006 postseason, while still an active player. His last major-league season was 2010 with the Milwaukee Brewers and he is now in his fourth season as a full-time broadcaster.
Zaun says the 162-game major-league grind is tougher for him as a broadcaster than it was as a player. Especially when the team is losing.
"Broadcasting isn't always fun," he said. "I am, beyond popular belief, an eternal optimist. I believe the Jays can be great, I want the Jays to be great, I'm a huge fan. But everybody says I'm Negative Nancy, I'm like Mr. Debbie Downer because I'm always talking the Jays down. The only reason why I talk the Jays down is because I'm being honest. … I have to do my job. I want the Jays to be fantastic, (Campbell) wants the Jays to be fantastic. That would make for the eternal summer for us. The fact that he and I get paid to talk about a good baseball team would be the greatest job in the history of mankind."
The question now is will Montrealers still be cheering for them?

With a jaw-dropping resume that includes an illustrious career in music, both as a solo artist, film composer, as well as producing for the globally acclaimed artist collective UNKLE, Aidan Lavelle is making a big comeback to his dance music roots. In the past year, the UK-based producer has cranked out a slew of impressive releases, including 3 EPs for Rebellion and a string of remixes on respected labels such as Crosstown Rebels, Culprit, Akbal, and My Favorite Robot Records. His undeniably dark and funky brand of house music has earned him fans like Maceo Plex, Pan-Pot, Richie Hawtin, Pete Tong, John Digweed, Layo & Bushwacka, Fur Coat…and the list goes on. With a new album in the works under a new guise, Aidan Lavelle is destined to rise in the underground dance music ranks as he carves out his own shadowy, avant-garde sounds. We caught up with Aidan to ask him about his new project, producing music for films, what's inside his studio, and what he's up to next.
Robotic Peacock: Hi Aidan, you recently played a string of gigs during WMC…how was it?
Within the last year and a half you've stepped back into producing dance music as a solo artist. What made you decide to come back to it? What drew you back in?
To be honest I never really left it. In 2005 I started working with my brother writing/producing/co-producing under UNKLE. It was a 100% committed full-time experience that reduced my ability to do anything under my own previous monikers or my own name purely as the workload with UNKLE was too great. That meant I kind of slipped under the radar for 6 years, but a huge amount of my responsibilities with UNKLE were taking the reigns when it came to the dance music remixes between 2005-2011. If you check the credits on the Surrender-All Sessions my name should be there somewhere! I stepped away from UNKLE in 2011 as a conscious decision to build something for myself, and that's where you see my name being introduced back into the work I am associated with.
How does the creative approach differ when creating music for film or media versus producing dance tracks?
I suppose the first thing and most significant difference is the fact that when your writing dance tracks or any track for that matter, be it rock or dance or anything else that is to be an artist release, you're writing for yourself and your personal expression. When you are writing for film you have a client, and I don't mean the director or producer (although you do have to answer to them, too!), I mean the film itself. The film is going to tell you what it wants and a good composer submits to that and their instincts rather than just doing what they feel like doing. The irony is that I recently composed the score for a short film, and that required dance music, so the two worlds can collide!
We saw a picture of your studio on Twitter. Tell us about your setup and name your favorite piece of gear you own.
I'm fortunate to have been able to build up a nice environment to work and play in over the years, from my granny's Bechstein Piano to various outboard, analog synths, and guitars. If you're asking me my favourite bit of kit I own? Hands down my Mac, I would be handicapped without my computer. The hub of everything. You could take everything, but if I have my computer I can still make high quality music of a decent standard the rest are luxuries. As far as synths? I love my Moog Voyager, probably my most used synth. Also my Alesis Andromeda is pretty special. It's worth noting I take a lot of my software seriously too and one of my favourite soft synths is the U-he Diva. My latest acquirements are my Apogee AD16x/DA16x which are a geeky high end AD/DA conversion dream.
Tell us about your new moniker "Modal" that's in the works.
It's ongoing. It's more an ambient low tempo adventure for me.
You're working on a new album, Qis, under the Modal name…what's the concept behind the album and what kind of music can we expect? Also, is there a date set?
As above. I'm kind of working on two albums at the moment and I am deliberating whether to try and combine the two. The other album, being a straight dance album. I have a lot of film and Advert commitments at the moment so they both are not my priority but they will be in a months time. I have about 9 ambient tracks done for the Modal album but it might be worth me trying to combine it with the dance album to give some more sense of a story and journey.
Tell us about any other upcoming releases/dates you're excited about.
I have just come through a string of remixes, so for me I need to concentrate on the film stuff then get the album(s) nailed!

In the early 1800s, Revolutionary War veterans began carving farms out of the Northern Kentucky wilderness. By the 1890's Crescent Springs became one of the many unscheduled train stops along the Cincinnati Southern Line that ran from Ludlow to Somerset. More passengers were choosing to live 'out in the country' so a railroad depot was built at the 'Y' intersection where Western Reserve meets Crescent Springs-Erlanger Road.
Located in north-central Kenton County, the city of Crescent Springs wasn't established until 1957, although residents had been calling the city Crescent Springs. The most popular theory for the city's name was the crescent shape the railroad tracks made as the train passed through town. Primarily a sleepy farming area, the completion of I-75 through the area in the 1970s drove expansion to its present population of 3900 over the city's 1.4 square miles. Progress continues to drive the busy city located just a few minutes from downtown Cincinnati and the busy riverfront. Some of the area's last farm acreages are being developed into new residential areas.
Busy Buttermilk Pike is the primary access road through Crescent Springs. Less than five minutes from downtown Cincinnati off easily accessible I75, it's easy to get around in Crescent Springs. The Transit Authority of Northern Kentucky (TANK) provides bus service through the region, and into downtown Cincinnati. Greater Cincinnati International Airport is a close 14 miles.
Several Northern Kentucky hospitals and their branches are within a few minutes driving. The Crescent Springs Volunteer Fire provides EMS service to the area.
Buttermilk Towne Center offers many selections for daily shopping needs; Florence Mall is a mere 10 minutes away, depending on traffic. Cincinnati and additional shopping malls offer more extensive shopping within a 15-minute drive. The Field and Stream outdoor sports store is a short drive.
The center of recreational activities, Crescent Springs Memorial Park at Buttermilk Pike and Collins Road, includes more than a mile of trails, several play areas, the only free-standing swinging bridge in Northern Kentucky as well as a Veterans and 9/11 memorials. Nearby riverfront access allows boaters and fishing enthusiasts easy access to the Ohio River. Numerous festivals and outdoor events summer and fall weekends provide an endless supply of outdoor activities in nearby Cincinnati, Covington and Newport riverfronts. Crescent Springs hosts an annual Easter Egg Hunt, movie night, Fun Fest, Music Fest, a Halloween event as well as Christmas in the Park.

When Leadership is Deeply Personal – Part 6
Mark D. Roberts
February 22, 2016 • Life for Leaders
When Jacob learned that there was grain in Egypt, he said to his sons, "Why do you keep looking at one another? I have heard," he said, "that there is grain in Egypt; go down and buy grain for us there, that we may live and not die." So ten of Joseph's brothers went down to buy grain in Egypt. But Jacob did not send Joseph's brother Benjamin with his brothers, for he feared that harm might come to him.
In last week's Life for Leaders devotions, we considered what happens when leadership is deeply personal, using the example of Joseph in Genesis 42. As you may recall, this chapter recounts the beginning of Joseph's engagement with his brothers, the ones who had years before sold him into slavery. We saw how strong Joseph's feelings were, how his feelings led him to make an unwise decision, and how, by taking time and considering the Lord, Joseph rejected his earlier decision in favor of a more reasonable and compassionate one. (You can find last week's devotions here.)
Help me, Lord, to lead wisely and well. Help me also to lead in such a way that those who work for me are empowered and encouraged to develop and exercise their own leadership.
This week, I'd like to consider another example of leadership in Genesis 42. Now we'll look at Joseph's father, Jacob, and his leadership of his family. The context for this story is, of course, the famine that infested the Mediterranean world, and which was instrumental in Joseph's rise to power in Egypt. The chapter begins with Jacob learning that grain was available in Egypt and acting on that knowledge by sending ten of his sons to Egypt to buy grain (42:2). Jacob acted decisively, even though he knew that the trip would be dangerous. For this reason he did not send his youngest son, Benjamin, along with the other brothers (42:4).
Sending his other sons into harm's way must have made Jacob nervous. Thus, this would be another case of deeply personal leadership. Yet, what Jacob first said to his sons is unexpected and curious: "Why do you keep looking at one another?" (42:1). The Hebrew verb translated here as "looking at one another" could indicate that the brothers were standing around idly and indecisively. It could also suggest that they were fighting among themselves. Either way, what they did not do was size up the situation and take decisive action. Jacob's question, "Why do you keep looking at one another?" conveys his displeasure with his sons' lack of initiative.
Or course, it's likely that Jacob was responsible, at least in part, for the very thing that frustrated him about his sons. As the patriarch of the family, he had authority over everyone and everything. The fact that ten of his grown sons went straightaway to Egypt when he told them to do so confirms the strength of Jacob's authority (42:3). Yet, his strongly authoritative (or perhaps even authoritarian) style of leadership did not equip Jacob's sons to exercise their own authority wisely. The sons were standing around, looking at each other, rather than going to Egypt for food because their father had not empowered them to make decisions and act upon them. They were waiting for orders from the boss.
The example of Jacob encourages me to look at my own leadership. I would like to be a leader who helps those who report to me grow in their own leadership. I would like to be a trainer, mentor, delegator, model, and encourager. Yet, I also have a perfectionistic streak in me that makes it hard to give key tasks away to others. This would be especially true if these tasks are things I care deeply about. Thus, it's a challenge for me to be a visionary, decisive leader who is also an empowering, encouraging leader. But, rather than focusing on those who report to me and asking them, "Why do you keep looking at one another?" I'm going to take a good, long look at myself and my leadership. Perhaps you'll want to do the same.
Are you an authoritative leader? Are you an empowering leader? How would those who work for you or with you describe your leadership?
Do you every find yourself wanting to ask those who report to you something like, "Why do you keep looking at one another?" If so, could it be that your way of leading has something to do with their inactivity?
How can one be a strong, decisive leader and also a leader who encourages and empowers those being led to be strong, decisive leaders in their own right?
Gracious God, thank you for the leadership example of Jacob. Thank you for his decisiveness in a difficult situation. Thank you also for letting us see Jacob clearly, flaws and all.
Lord, I expect that sometimes I'm just like Jacob. I fear that my way of leading can sometimes be disempowering and discouraging to those whom I lead. Forgive me for the times I have not stewarded well the people you have entrusted to my care. Help me to lead wisely and well. Help me also to lead in such a way that those who work for me are empowered and encouraged to develop and exercise their own leadership.
In all of this, may you receive the glory. Amen.

Pakistani-Canadians raise $2.5m for hospital's orthopaedic centre
Hospital names the centre after the community
Web desk Nov 08, 2019
Pakistani-Canadians helped raise $2.5 million for the orthopaedic centre at the Markham Stouffville Hospital in Canada. To honour their contribution, the hospital named it the Canadians of Pakistani Origin Orthopaedic Centre. "Thank you for helping us deliver extraordinary care to our patients for over a decade - we are grateful!" the hospital wrote on Twitter.

As a member of the sandwich generation, you have plenty of responsibilities on your shoulders. Raising your own family while caring for your aging parents can feel like you're juggling with too many balls in the air, and you may not be sure how you're going to pull it off. A few key tips and tricks, however, can make it easier to take care of everyone who is relying on you.
What Does It Mean to Be a Member of the Sandwich Generation?
The "sandwich generation" is the generation squarely between aging parents and raising their own families. Members of the sandwich generation may find themselves needing to figure out solutions that will allow for increased care for their elderly loved ones while still delivering children to school, cooking meals for their own kids, and juggling the other responsibilities of work and home. This is a unique position that adds an increased level of stress to many individuals.
Being a member of the sandwich generation means learning how to handle a complex balancing act every day. It's not impossible–and you're not alone! Make sure you're implementing these strategies to help make your life easier.
Build a support system. You need to know who you can rely on when the going gets tough. Who are you going to call when you're stuck at a long doctor's appointment with your mother and it's time to meet the kids at the bus stop, or you need someone to sit at the hospital–or even at home–with your dad while you head off to a meeting at school? You need a support system filled with friends and family members who will be there to help when there's more than you can handle alone. That support system should also include people that you can trust and talk to when you're feeling stressed out or overwhelmed.
Be realistic. As a member of the sandwich generation, you may find yourself struggling with feelings of guilt. You're only one person–and you're one person who has distinct obligations to both your parents and your own spouse and children. As you balance caring for all of your loved ones, ask these key questions.
"What am I actually able to handle?" You're simply not capable of being in two places at once, and you know it! Make sure that your plan doesn't include placing more on your own shoulders than you can realistically take on.
"What are my spouse and children actually able to handle?" Is your spouse struggling with the idea of moving your aging parents into your home? Will it mean displacing your children in a way that will cause more upset than they can be expected to handle? Take the time to consider what is realistic for all of you.
"Am I remembering self-care?" Self-care is a critical part of having enough of you to go around for all the people you love. If taking on the challenges of caring for your parents doesn't leave room for self-care, you need a new strategy.
"What can I afford?" Make sure you take your finances and your parents' finances into consideration. Can they afford to have a sitter stay with them in their home or yours when you need to be out? Can you and your siblings together afford a high-quality assisted living facility? Take a hard look at what finances are available to help give you a break and reduce the responsibility you need to handle.
Look for flexible employment options. If you have the option of setting aside work for a few years while your parents and children need you, that may be the best way to balance your schedule–but it's not the only option. Seek out a flexible employer, try working from home, or find another way to work that will allow you to be on hand when you're needed most.
Think ahead to hard choices and solutions. When you have both children and parents to care for, hard choices are inevitable. Take the time to think through some of them ahead of time. What will you do if both your child and your parent are ill at the same time? What if illness or injury strikes just as you're headed out the door for an important milestone function at school? Take the time to think through how you will handle those solutions so that when they hit, you'll already have a plan in place. Can you call in a sibling to help care for your parents? What about one of their friends? Can your spouse help you with this juggling act? By preparing ahead of time, you'll have a better idea of what you really need to do when those situations strike.
Life as a member of the sandwich generation isn't easy, but it's well worth the effort. Over time, you'll discover the best way for you to balance the needs of your loved ones and the responsibilities on your shoulders in a way that is effective and practical for everyone involved.


I learned QHHT in 2008 from Dolores in New Mexico and the advanced class with her in Denver in 2009. I have been practicing QHHT professionally since 2009. Using past life regression personally, my family dynamics and life patterns finally made sense. It brought me healing and clarity that changed my life. I wanted to do the same for others, using QHHT to show them their patterns and relationships. Of course, some sessions go a bit sideways and other planets, life forms, or energy beings are explored. There are no limits in my office and every thing that comes through is used to clear, heal, and learn - not to blame or judge.

Жан-Батист ван Лоо (; 14 января 1684, Экс-ан-Прованс — 19 декабря 1745, Экс-ан-Прованс) — французский живописец-портретист эпохи рококо. Представитель большой семьи художников Ван Лоо, выходцев из Фландрии. Старший брат живописца Шарля Андре ван Лоо.

Биография
Жан-Батист ван Лоо был сыном Луи-Абрахама ван Лоо и Мари Фоссе, дочери скульптора Жака Фоссе. Учился рисованию у своего отца. Уже в раннем возрасте помогал отцу в росписях церквей в Эксе и в Тулоне. В Тулоне в 1706—1707 годах он изучал скульптуры Пьера Пюже. Там же 17 мая 1706 года женился на Маргарите Лебрен, дочери тулонского адвоката.

В 1707 году Жан-Батист покинул Тулон и на средства своего покровителя, принца Виктора Амадея Савойского-Кариньянского, отправился в Рим, где брал уроки живописи у Бенедетто Лути во Французской Академии на вилле Медичи. В Риме он написал картины для нескольких церквей; наиболее известная из его римских работ — «Истязание Христа» для церкви Санта-Мария-ин-Монтичелли. После смерти отца он много времени уделял художественному образованию младшего брата Шарля Андре ван Лоо, который стал впоследствии знаменитым художником.

По возвращении на родину из Италии, Жан-Батист некоторое время провёл в Турине, при дворе герцога Савойского Карла-Эммануила III, писал портреты савойской аристократии. С 1720 года жил и работал в Париже. Писал светские портреты, картины для церкви аббатства Сен-Жермен-де-Пре, расписывал плафон дворца Пале-Рояль. Занимался реставрационными работами, в частности поновлением росписей Франческо Приматиччо во дворце Фонтенбло. 23 февраля 1731 года был принят в Королевскую Академию живописи и скульптуры.

В 1735 году Жан-Батист решил вернуться в Прованс, но вместо этого уехал в Париж. В конце года он узнал, что его сын Луи-Мишель ван Лоо назначен первым живописцем короля Испании. Между 1738 и 1742 годами он работал в Лондоне, где его картины имели большой успех, среди прочих — портреты первого лорда Казначейства Роберта Уолпола, поэтов Александра Поупа и Колли Сайбера. Большой успех снискал портрет наследника английского престола Фредерика.

Его возвращение во Францию объяснялось состоянием здоровья. Художник открыл мастерскую в Вандомском павильоне, которым владел некоторое время. Скончался 19 декабря 1745 года. Говорили, что он умер с кистью в руке.

Двое сыновей Жана-Батиста ван Лоо, Луи Мишель ван Лоо и Шарль Амедей Филипп ван Лоо, стали художниками. В числе его именитых учеников был Блез Николя Лесюёр.

Творчество
Жан-Батист ван Лоо прежде всего известен как автор превосходного портрета Людовика XV. «Придворных дам он изображал безупречными красавицами как античных богинь и муз. Его галантный и несколько салонный стиль стал характерной чертой французской живописи того времени».

В Лондоне он также стал модным художником, написав портрет знаменитого финансиста, мецената и коллекционера, сэра Роберта Уолпола (1740). В 1779 году, этот портрет, находившийся в замке Хоутон-холл, вместе с другими картинами собрания Уолпола, был приобретён императрицей Екатериной II для коллекции Императорского Эрмитажа в Санкт-Петербурге.

Q: File_exists always false in laravel 4 I have written small CMS in Laravel 4 and I was working on it using wamp. Application was in www folder and everything was working fine.
When I have finished with development, I moved an application to my live server and I have put application in root folder of my hosting (folder above public_html).
In some functions I'm checking if some files exist, and while I was on wamp, everything worked, but now file_exists() always returns false.
Folder permissions of the folder where files are stored are set to 755, and files are with same permissions.
I have already tried clearstatcache() and Safe mode cannot be an issue since it was removed in PHP 5.4. Any other ideas?
if(file_exists('public_html/repo/images/testimage.jpg')){
    //do something
}
else{
    echo "error";
}

I have checked several times, and file does exists if I try to access it via url

A: Well, first you said you were in WAMP, it could be that folders were having uppercases. Remember, windows is not case-sensitive for folder while linux is.
Second, where's laravel's index.php file? (It's generaly in public folder), file_exists() is relative to it, so if your installation is: public_html/public/index.php and repo/images is on public folder you should check for: file_exists('repo/images...');
Laravel is designed to keep its files outside of public access, so I suggest you put laravel's files and folders in the root / while moving everything in public folder to public_html. This way, you could check file existence relatively to public_html folder.
file_exists('repo/images...');
file_exists('../app/views/hello.blade.php');

Philip Treacy Returns!
The legendary British milliner dedicated his return to the runway to Michael Jackson -- and Lady Gaga made a veiled appearance.
Isabel Wilkinson
Updated Jul. 14, 2017 12:28AM ET / Published Sep. 17, 2012 12:31AM ET
Lady Gaga, Michael Jackson, and crazy hats: it's hard to top that. The British milliner Philip Treacy made his return to the runway on Sunday night, the first time he has shown in 13 years. And it sounded like quite the night: Lady Gaga served as a master of ceremonies, appearing on the runway in a pink veil to announce that Treacy was "the greatest milliner of all time."
Then came a series of models wearing items from Michael Jackson's archive -- even the "Thriller" jacket -- and hats designed by Treacy. (It's the first time the items are going to be seen until they go up for auction in Los Angeles in December.) The crowd included the family of Isabella Blow, Alexander McQueen's late muse, and Sarah Burton.
And the hats were indeed wild: The Guardian described the show as: "fashion's most glamorous Halloween party." Head pieces included what Cathy Horyn called a "huge smiley-face saucer; straw creations that licked around the models' shoulders and heads like hostile blossoms; punk-style feathers; a white-frosted sailing shit; jewel-colored helmets; and a spinning wheel of a hat blazing with miniature lights." It's only a matter of time until one winds up on Princess Beatrice.

David VE3KCL launched his sixth balloon flight S-6 on 24-Sep-2015 at about 17:00 UT. Like the former flights, this one also used a special U3 firmware version on an Arduino Nano board, with QRP Labs Si5351A Synthesiser. Two foil "party" balloons are used, filled with hydrogen. The design changes relative to the former S-4 flight are listed below.
The map below is updated automatically with the latest received position. During the balloon's night, there is insufficient power to run the transmitter, so no updates are received until the following morning.
Could S-6 have made a miraculous recovery from its rapid descent in stormy weather yesterday, and still be flying? After all, at the last report yesterday, it was at an altitude of 3,300m, which does still leave some height for a recovery. Since the evidence indicates that the power ran out before landing in the sea, and we could not track it down to a lower altitude - that also leaves some faint hope that S-6 might have recovered.
Since we only have the telemetry WSPR message (the second transmission), and not any reception report of the standard WSPR message (the first transmission), we do not know the first 4 characters of the Maidenhead locator. So nothing definite can be said of the balloon's current position. Click the below image to see the NOAA Hysplit model prediction, starting at the last known position on 27-Sep-2015 17:30 UT. According to this, S-6 would probably be somewhere near Iceland. The X-ray solar storm (see picture, below right) could cause poor propagation conditions that could help account for the reception of only a single transmission from the balloon.
2) The temperature is in a reasonable range - it would have been close to midday near Iceland, and this kind of temperature is not inconsistent with what we have seen, or what would be reasonably expected at the altitude and time of day. The telemetry can report -50 to +39C. If the report had shown a temperature below zero, or somewhat hotter, then it would not have been so reasonable.
3) The battery voltage is also in a reasonable range. The S-6 flight has reported battery voltages in the range 3.1 to 3.9V. The telemetry can report the range 3.0 to 4.95V.
4) The GPS status and satellite status are both zero, which is also reasonable. Remember that the satellite status is 1 if at least 8 satellites are being tracked. The GPS status is 1 if the $GPRMC validity flag is set to "A". Some combinations of these flags would not be possible, e.g. if 8 satellites were being tracked, it would not be possible for the validity flag to be 0. In practice, we always observed both flags are 1, or on a cycle where GPS doesn't fix, they are both 0 (as here).
Nothing can be said about the Maidenhead subsquare, which is useless information by itself. The above four pieces of data were within reasonable expected ranges (within the maximum available range for each parameter). I estimate the probability of a set of all four pieces of data occurring within reasonable ranges, RANDOMLY, would be less than 4%. Put another way, there could be said to be a 96% chance that the data is a valid spot. The reception signal to noise ratio of -28dB is also consistent with the very weak signal from the balloon, and a long way from Seattle, USA.
On the other hand - this spot is at 13:18 UT. This is wrong! According the transmission schedule, the 13:18 transmission should be the normal WSPR transmission. The 13:20 transmission would be the telemetry. We could speculate that perhaps since the GPS is showing 0 status, it means it had not managed to acquire a lock which could be used to correct the time. In that case, perhaps the real time clock on the balloon was set to an invalid time, but still starting at the right point to enable WSPR copy.
At such high latitudes (near Iceland) the sun angle would be much lower in the sky. Therefore not so much sunlight hits the solar cells. The spot was received at midday (Iceland), at which time the power from the solar cells would be maximum. In the above image you can also see an X-ray solar storm, which could have affected propagation, and all the more so given the high latitudes the balloon is probably flying in. It could explain why only a single spot was received on 27th September - a combination of limited transmitting time due to poor power availability, and poor propagation. It also makes that spot more likely to be genuine. The balloon cannot be transmitting during darkness, and it is most likely to have been transmitting only at most for a few hours. The spot was received at what would be the most likely transmission time during that day.
The number of "False" decodes occurring on 30m, on telemetry channel 1, with sensible data, and in the time range 09:00 UT to 21:00 UT, is ZERO. Note that the percentage of these random false decodes generating sensible balloon telemetry data according to my conditions 1 to 4 above, is 4.7%. This corresponds well (given the sample size) with my prediction above (I said the probability of "sensible" data occurring randomly was below 4%).
I found another interesting event. At 16:08 UT on 25-Sep-2015, S-6 was reported by 7 stations. But, at 16:10 UT the same (correct) report was received from K3ZV. I mean, that 8th report at 16:10 was 2 minutes LATE, even though the transmission definitely occurred at 16:08 and was reported correctly at 16:08 by the 7 other stations. See table below. So evidently somehow, it IS possible for a transmission to be reported 2 minutes late. I wonder, does that mean it could also be reported 2 minutes early, as AF7HL's was at 13:18 (should be 13:20)?
I noticed another interesting thing. When I sort the 107 "False" decodes by receiving station callsign, I find that quite a number of receiving stations show up multiple times. More than half (58) of the "false" decodes are from receiving stations which show up with false reports more than once. Particular notable, the following reporting stations show up with at least 3 of the 107 "false" decodes each: DK6UG (8 times), K9AN (6), 4X1RF (5), GM4SFW (5), VK5MR(5), JH6LAV (3), K4COD (3), OH5RM (3), ON7KB (3), OZ1PIF (3). I know that K9AN has written his own WSPR decoder, and quite a lot of people are using it because it is said to be more sensitive than the standard WSPR decoder. IF the greater sensitivity comes at the price of a greater probability of false decodes, and IF the listed stations which seem to often generate false decodes are using the K9AN decoder, it could explain a lot of these "false" decodes. It would also be interesting to know, which WSPR decoder does AF7HL use? AF7HL does not generate ANY of the 107 listed "False" reports in September.
So, what happened to S-6? Is it still flying? If so, where? Will it turn up somewhere, soon?
The S-6 balloon covered a huge distance overnight, and by 13:30 UT reached a groundspeed of 94 knots (108mph, 174kph). That's a speed record for these S-series balloon flights! The telemetry protocol is only designed for a maximum speed of 82 knots, after that it "wraps around" again to 0 knots. I.e. 84 knots is reported as 0, 86 knots is reported as 2 etc. So for a while the live update map was showing low speeds and it was necessary to add 84 knots to everything to see the true speed.
Unfortunately the balloon appears to have hit bad weather starting at about 15:30 UT and started a descent. We assume that the balloon was caught in rapid up/down air movements, and also probably moisture attached to the balloon envelope, increasing the weight and causing a loss of altitude. The last reception report was at 17:30 UT, by that time the balloon had descended to an altitude of 3,300m and slowed down to 42 knots. This chart (right) shows the altitude in the 2.5 hours from 15:00 UT to 17:30 UT. There altitude loss started from 15:30 UT but an hour later there was a rapid height gain of 2,000m in 12 minutes. Thereafter the descent continued.
If the descent had continued after that at the same rate, the balloon should have continued reporting its position for at least one more hour, before landing in the sea. However, we suspect that the light was dim, due to the cloud cover at the lower altitude, and the fact that dusk was approaching (though sunset was still 1.5 hours away). The transmitter probably ran out of power and could not continue transmitting. This hypothesis is supported by the battery voltage decline in the last hour from 16:30 UT to 17:30 UT. Therefore we cannot say we tracked S-6 down to the sea; below 3,300m it had stopped transmitting and we do not know what happened thereafter.
In the following image gallery, are some weather reports/predictions that were obtained by Dave VE3KCL. Presumably an expert would be able to make sense of all those diagrams. Not I. Nevertheless they are included here for interest. On each image I have added an orange circle showing the last known position of S-6 (Latitude 47.35417 N, Longitude 29.875 W). You have to put that into context, on each weather chart. The time of the last known position report is 17:30 UT. Furthermore weather changes at different altitude. These charts are for aviation purposes. The 8,000m altitude of the S-6 balloon corresponds in aviation terms to flight level 260 (FL 260). Anyhow it certainly appears there was a lot of bad weather in the area at the time S-6 started going down.
A nice day's flying, the balloon crossed the Eastern USA coast and headed east out across the Atlantic, picking up speed as it went!
Dave VE3KCL managed a successful launch of balloon S-6. It climbed steadily to around 8,000m altitude and headed East, covering 245km in the 5 hours before sunset. At sunset the battery does not have enough capacity to continue powering the balloon and it shuts down until the morning. The graph (below left) shows altitude, groundspeed (knots), temperature and battery voltage. Click for larger images. The map (below right) shows the progress east from the launch site which was to the northwest of Toronto. CLICK PHOTOS for full size versions.
Failed launch attempt: Here are two photos from an early launch attempt. It failed due to the heavy fog you can see in the photos. The fog deposited water on the balloon, weighing it down sufficiently for there to be inadequate lift to pull the payload up. Dave says: "in the frenzy of the failed launch I cut off the carbon fiber spreader section (that keep the balloons separated) to get more lift, but that did not work, and I did not replace it. That omission will give .8gm of extra lift on this ride... replacing the carbon fiber spreader would have been difficult with the rig all laced up". Dave waited some hours for the fog to clear, sun to show up, and dry out everything - before trying again.
Successful launch: The second (successful) launch attempt was also not without drama. Dave VE3KCL writes: "Today was a challenge.... our usual launch site had trees in the direction of the wind so we went travelling in the car and found a young couple building a fantastic log house and asked to use their yard for a launch... they said sure... he and she (who were constructing at the time with chop saws and other equipment) live in the basement of this 3/4-built fantastic log structure and he is a software engineer so said he would look up the S6 page... At their property, we had about 1500 feet of clear space to clear the trees so it made the launch easier."
All's well that ends well. See photos of the launch below. The first two (left) show a close-up of the balloon and the transmitter box. The three on the right show the S-6 as it disappears into the distance.
1) a 1.2mm carbon fiber rod separating the balloon lines, to potentially protect the lower balloon from scuffing on the line to the upper balloon.
3) 7 cells instead of 8 cells on the solar panel. On the S-4 flight the solar panel was running the voltage too high. As high as 4.8V which caused the protection board on the LiPo battery to take the battery out of the circuit at 4.3V. When the ambient temperature at altitude is 60C colder than on the earth, there is approximately a 20% increase in solar panel voltage. On earth the panel only charges to 3.65V so hopefully this will increase when it gets cold. It also saved a little weight.
4) A zener diode was installed to hopefully dissipate some of the energy if the voltage gets too high, and perhaps do a little heating of the electronics.
These photos from Dave VE3KCL show the flight payload and solar cell array. Click for larger photos.
Dave also did extensive low temperature testing of the payload, using dry ice (temperature -78C) as the coolant.


I was born in Ecuador and moved to the U.S. when I was 14 years old with my family. I speak fluent English and Spanish which allows me to communicate directly with a variety of different patients and family members. My sister is a nurse, and she served as my primary motivation for pursuing a career in this field. I love science and caring for people, and I also wanted a job that was fulfilling. Choosing this career was the best decision I've ever made in my life.
A great day for me is when I follow up with a patient and learn that my care has truly changed their life. I also enjoy seeing many of my patients on the same day to see how they're doing. The team at Sanitas works together to answer questions and provide solutions for each one of us. This collaborative atmosphere is the reason we offer impeccable care to each of our patients.
In my free time, I enjoy going to the gym and training in CrossFit. I also enjoy spending time with family, traveling, and painting portraits. My second love is architecture, and I study the field in my free time.

Ex-Skid Row Singer Johnny Solinger's Current State of Health Is Critical
ByGorkem Erel May 8, 2021 May 8, 2021
The 55-year-old singer Johnny Solinger, who is known for his tenure with Skid Row, devastated fans by announcing through his social media that he has been facing liver failure for a long time.
As you remember, the singer has appeared with Skid Row between 1999-2015. He has released two studio albums with the band, including Thickskin and Revolutions Per Minute. He also appeared on the band's two EPs, United World Rebellion and Rise of the Damnation Army.

However, recently, the former Skid Row singer took to his social media to announce his diagnosis. Johnny told in the social media statement that he has been diagnosed with liver failure when he was hospitalized. He also mentioned his current state of health in the letter he shared and stated that his situation is critical.
"It is with a heavy heart I must let everyone know what's going on with me and my health," he said. "I have been hospitalized for over the last month. I have been diagnosed with liver failure. And prognosis is not so good. As with most musicians I do not have health insurance and it's very difficult to get proper care without it.
"I am currently under at least seven different medications and I need to have my abdomen drained off fluid that gets accumulated every couple of days. I have lost a lot of strength and will require physical therapy as well."
He continued by saying that he may need help on medical bills in the future: "At the moment, I am looking into putting together some sort of fundraiser to help with the medical bills and with the palliative care I will need in the coming months. I am kindly asking those of you who could help put this together to step forward. I would not be asking you all this if I didn't really need the help, but sadly this is where I'm at.
"I appreciate and want you all to keep me in your thoughts and send me all the healing vibes you can, but I get exhausted easily so I will ask you to please not call or text unless absolutely necessary. But please, if you can help in this difficult time, I will wholeheartedly appreciate it.
"Love you all. I will post a link where you can donate very soon but I wanted to update you on my condition."

Q: get text between html tags
Possible duplicate: RegEx matching HTML tags and extracting text

I need to get the text between the html tag like

Pattern pText = Pattern.compile(">([^>|^<]*?)<");

Anyone knows some better pattern, because this one its not very usefull. I need it to get for  index the content from web page.
Thanks

A: SO is about to descend on you.  But let me be the first to say, don't use regular expressions to parse HTML.  Here is a list of Java HTML Parsers.  Look around until you see an API that suits your fancy and use that instead.

A: It looks like you are trying to use the | operator inside a negative set, which is neither working nor needed. Just specify the characters that you don't want to match:
Pattern pText = Pattern.compile(">([^<>]*?)<");

A: Don't use regular expressions when parsing HTML.
Use XPath instead (if your HTML is well formed). You can reference text nodes using the text() function very easily.

Credit Opinion: Government of Mongolia – B3 stable: Regular update

Announcement: Moody's revises its growth forecasts for 16 Asian economies
Moody's confirms Mongolia's Caa1 issuer rating with a stable outlook, concluding review for downgrade
Singapore, March 30, 2017 -- Moody's Investors Service has today confirmed the Caa1 long-term issuer ratings, the (P)Caa1 senior unsecured MTN program and the Caa1 senior unsecured ratings of the Government of Mongolia with a stable outlook. The short-term issuer rating was affirmed at Not Prime. Today's rating action concludes the rating review for downgrade that Moody's initiated on 15 February 2017.
The decision to confirm Mongolia's Caa1 rating balances positive and negative drivers:
- Liquidity pressures have abated following the recent debt exchange transaction, assuming the staff-level agreement is ratified by the IMF Executive Board. Imminent default pressures have subsided.
- However, fiscal and growth pressures are likely to remain higher than forecast at the end of last year, which could encourage a further rise in liquidity pressures over the next 12-18 months.
The decision for a stable outlook on the rating balances the upside risk that IMF-related funding stabilizes Mongolia's external payments position until increased FDI and mining activity lift medium-term GDP growth and foreign currency revenues; against the downside risk posed by Mongolia's very large financing requirements over the next two years, for which it will continue to rely on both external and domestic financing. The stable outlook assumes that the IMF board's approval of the program is obtained, allowing, as a result, loans by other multilateral and bilateral institutions to be disbursed.
The local-currency bond and deposit ceilings remain Ba3. The long-term foreign currency deposit ceiling remains Caa2, while the foreign currency bond ceiling remains B3. All short-term foreign currency ceilings remain Not Prime. These ceilings act as a cap on ratings that can be assigned to the foreign- and local-currency obligations of entities domiciled in the country.
RATIONALE FOR CONFIRMING THE Caa1 ISSUER RATING
Moody's decision to confirm the rating at Caa1 reflects our view that short-term liquidity risks, which posed significant downward pressure on the rating at the start of the review, have abated substantially following the recent debt exchange and in anticipation of the IMF Executive Board's ratification of the staff-level agreement.
Moody's review was triggered by the need to assess the credit implications of increasingly intense liquidity pressures. Specifically, the review aimed to assess how Mongolia intended to serve the 21 March $580 million maturity of government-guaranteed Development Bank of Mongolia LLC's (DBM) notes.
In the event, the DBM notes were exchanged for new government seven-year notes ahead of the 21 March maturity. Moody's concluded that the exchange did not impose a loss on investors relative to the original promise. Moreover, investors choosing not to participate were paid out in full on the maturity of the bond.
The exchange significantly alleviated short-term liquidity constraints. Looking ahead, the level of participation in the new bond issuance demonstrated Mongolia's market access. With evidence that the government has retained market access and the likely availability of multilateral and bilateral financing following the signing of an IMF staff-level agreement, we expect Mongolia to be able to cover its large near-term financing needs.
However, those financing needs remain very large relative to Mongolia's current and prospective resources. Foreign exchange reserves are historically low at $1.0 billion - excluding gold and SDRs. While we expect them to rise over time as the funding opportunities offered by the IMF program materialize, Mongolia will need to continue to roll over a share of its $2.5 billion external debt maturities over the coming 3 years (including the swap line with China's central bank).
Moreover, fiscal and growth challenges remain high -- indeed higher than we expected when we downgraded the rating to B3 on 26 August 2016 and to Caa1 on 18 November 2016. Despite the far-reaching revenue and expenditure measures proposed by the authorities as part of the IMF staff-level agreement, we expect the fiscal deficit to remain in double digits in 2017-18, which will contribute to a rapid increase in the already very high government debt burden. Taking into account DBM debt as a contingent liability that has crystallized on the government's balance sheet, we expect the government's debt burden to peak above 100% of GDP this year from 92.1% in 2016. A levelling off and eventual decline in the debt burden hinges on a severe tightening of fiscal policy in the near-term, and a pick-up in GDP growth from around 2018 onwards. Neither is a foregone conclusion.
Mongolia's economic prospects remain highly dependent on demand for commodities, and more specifically on the fortunes of a small number of mining projects. That concentration of risk poses a threat to Mongolia's credit profile, which has crystallized in recent years. Its legacy remains clear. Economic activity has slowed markedly and will pick up only in the medium term. Real GDP grew by 1.0% in 2016, after 2.4% in 2015 and down from 11.3% on average in 2010-14. We expect fiscal consolidation and monetary policy tightening to weigh on public and private consumption at a time when investment is also slowing. We forecast negative real GDP growth in 2017, at 0.2%.
From 2018 onwards, we assume that real GDP growth will be supported by investment in the Oyu Tolgoi phase 2 and Tavan Tolgoi mining projects. While this investment will initially generate large imports, we assume that it will over the subsequent few years result in a sharp ramp-up in mining production and exports and, importantly, government revenues.
RATIONALE FOR THE STABLE OUTLOOK
The relief from near-term liquidity pressures set against rising fiscal and growth pressures leaves Mongolia's credit profile delicately balanced. Success in achieving fiscal reform and simultaneously laying the ground for growth to recover strongly from 2019 will exert upward pressures on the rating. In the meantime, Mongolia's external liquidity position remains fragile, highly dependent on its ability to continue to instil confidence among official and private sector lenders.
Moody's decision to place a stable outlook on Mongolia's rating reflects those broadly balanced upside and downside risks.
An IMF program will, if ratified by the IMF Executive Board, unlock significant financing from bilateral donors and multilateral development institutions. The IMF has stated that additional funding worth $4 billion would likely become available, which we estimate would cover about one third of gross financing requirements over the next three years. The financial and technical support of multilateral institution would support the government's market access, which should help them to refinance obligations coming due in 2018-19.
The IMF program would also anchor fiscal consolidation prospects and reduces the risk of further slippages. We think that the actions required by the IMF before its Executive Board's approval of the program, such as passing the supplementary budget, will happen, albeit with some delays. Sustained and significant progress towards the program's objectives would support Mongolia's access to external finance from concessional lenders and private investors. This would point to a credit-positive durable improvement in liquidity and external buffers until a marked increase in mining revenues boosts growth and foreign-currency inflows from around 2019 onwards.
However, there are implementation risks to the IMF program, given the short-term economic costs of significant fiscal and monetary policy tightening. Sustaining such a tight policy stance over several years will be politically challenging. Slippages could lead to a suspension in IMF disbursements and renewed weakening in investors' confidence. Moreover, if the economic toll of the measures more than offsets initial spending cuts and revenue-raising measures, this could prevent or slow a material narrowing in the budget deficit.
Furthermore, beside external financing, the government will continue to rely on domestic financing of its deficit. The capacity of financially weak banks' to purchase large amounts of government bonds has yet to be ascertained. Financing costs for the government could rise more rapidly than we currently assume, reigniting liquidity pressures.
WHAT COULD MOVE THE RATING UP/DOWN
Evidence of the government's success in implementing economic and fiscal policy measures which will improve the debt trend, while sustaining growth and placing Mongolia's external financing needs on a more sustainable footing could lead to a positive rating action.
Conversely, downward pressure on the rating could develop in the event of renewed pressures on the government's liquidity position and the balance of payments. Should the IMF Executive Board decide not to ratify the staff-level agreement, that would impose downward pressure on the rating. Relatedly, prolonged delays in bilateral or multilateral support would raise refinancing risks and could also result in a negative rating action.

With so many silk duvets on the market it can be a bit of a task deciding which are worth purchasing and which ones are not. Listed below are a few things to look out for.
Always look for duvets filled with mulberry silk, and check the percentage of silk filling. Many suppliers will only use a small percentage of mulberry silk, and fill the remainder with cheaper short fibre silk. This brings the cost of the duvet down, but also eliminates the heat regulating and hypoallergenic properties of the duvet.
Insist on long mulberry silk.
Always check the percentage of mulberry silk in the duvet, don't settle for anything less than 100%.
Silk, being a natural product should have an ivory hue to it and be slightly iridescent. Many manufacturers bleach their silk to enhance it's look. Bleaching makes the silk look almost white and damages the natural properties of silk. Good silk filled duvets will almost always have a small zip stitched into the duvet, allowing easy inspection of the silk filling.
Always ensure the silk is not bleached. Bleaching the silk will cause irreparable damage.
Check for an inspection zip. If the duvet has no inspection zip which allows you to check the quality of the silk, one needs to question what the retailer is hiding.
Silk duvets are able to aid heat regulation because of the way the silk has been layered. The layered silk is stitched between two casing sheets. The most effective way of doing this is to tack the silk in place. Box stitching creates a grid pattern and causes "cold spots" in the duvet. This undermines the duvets effectiveness as a heat regulator.
Check the silk duvet has not been box stitched. Box stitching creates cold spots and limits the effectiveness of the silk duvet.
Request a duvet layered by hand.

Group Urges Boosting Bikes in Rail Planning
by Ryan Kawailani Ozawa · September 5, 2015
The state's most expensive transportation system can be improved a great deal by integrating simple, human-powered technology that's nearly 200 years old.
The $6 billion Honolulu rail transit project easily dominates any conversation about the evolution of transportation on Oahu. With the first four miles of the 20-mile route piercing into Waipahu and crossing the H-1 freeway, it's impossible to miss. But it's just one ingredient in a much more complex recipe.
In just the last couple of years, we've seen the arrival of ridesharing services like Uber, the groundwork laid for carsharing services like Car2Go, great progress made in deploying a bikesharing system, and significant city investment in expanding and improving bike routes. The 'Reboot the Commute' hackathon in May was only the first of many efforts to rethink and transform the ways people get around the island.
On Thursday, the Hawaii Bicycling League is hosting an discussion about connecting steel-on-steel rail wheels with two wheels.
While the rail system will be able to move thousands of people back and forth across Honolulu's main corridor, riders will still need to get to rail stations first. City officials say about 240,000 people already live within a mile of a rail station, and can easily walk there. But if you expand the range to three miles, rail can serve more than half a million residents.
And with buses and cars (and carsharing) serving people further out, bicycles are a great way to bridge that middle gap.
"The rail will not only bring about a new means of getting around, but will reshape our communities away from the car-centric and towards the people-centric," the League says. "Bicycling will play a big role in transforming mobility on Oahu."
The planned rail system's 80 train cars will have designated space for riders to bring their bikes with them, and rail stations will include bicycle racks. All that's left is ensuring that bikes are included in transit-oriented development, plans that are now being set to shape the neighborhoods around the 21 rail stations. Are there bike paths in those neighborhoods, and do they connect with the station?
"If we do it right, the result will be more people bicycling, more people taking transit, more transportation choices for less money spent, healthier lives, and more liveable communities," says the HBL. "This is a recipe that has been used by forward thinking cities around the globe."
For example, the league says that Vancouver has an especially well-integrated system, where more than half of the trips on its rail system now incorporate walking and bicycling.
The event will feature several speakers:Â Mark Garrity, deputy director of the city Department of Transportation Services, Harrison Rue, the city's Transit Oriented Development administrator, Ryan Tam, planning manager for HART, and John White, executive director of Pacific Resource Partnership. Daniel Alexander, advocacy director of HBL, will moderate the panel.
"The Rail, TOD & Bikes" will take place at Kakaako Agora, from 5:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. For more information, visit the event page on Facebook, or visit the HBL website.
