Special constables, known to their opponents as 'Massey's Cossacks', guard men handling cargo from the Athenic. The scene is Queen's Wharf, Wellington, during the Waterfront Strike, November 1913.
The area around Queen's Wharf was the focus of major activity during the strike. It was invaded by strikers and their supporters on 24 and 25 October, after which all loading of ships ceased. Strikers picketing the wharves prevented access until 5 November, when the specials opened the wharves to 'free labour' or 'scabs' following the Battle of Featherston Street.
'Scabs' was the term unionists used for strike-breakers who were prepared to work on the wharves. Farmers, rural workers and some Wellington watersiders acted as strike-breakers. They were enrolled in a new arbitrationist union and given accomodation on board ships or in the 'Donkey Room'. This was a room in X Shed, next to the Customhouse, that had previously been the waiting room and meeting room for the watersiders' union. From 10 November the Harbour Board set up the Donkey Room to accommodate 'free labourers' between shifts, so they would not have to cross any picket lines. The shed had bunks and hot baths, and could accommodate nearly 400 men.

Sev's Cellar – Britta Wolfert Sev Micron
Born in harbour town Hamburg, Germany, Britta grew up in a small house with her parents, uncle, aunt and grandmother, sharing a room with her sister. They say she sang before talking.
None of the family members shared her passion for music, as children were to be seen not heard, so she secretly listened to short wave radio late at night under her blanket.
Sundays mornings however, she was allowed to listen to a variety of jazz and swing coming from the kitchen radio while her mother prepared Sunday dinner. Her ears glued to the small speaker, Britta listened to Ella Fitzgerald, Peggy Lee, Marlene Dietrich, Edith Piaf, Sergio Mendes, Stan Getz, Django Reinhardt and others.
She bought her first guitar with money earned with her first job, working in the kitchen of a senior citizen residence at age 14.
Britta taught herself to play guitar, soon playing and singing popular folk, pop and rock tunes in folk clubs in and around Hamburg. With her friends, she regularly hung out in cellar clubs, listening to Dixieland and other jazz til the wee hours of morning, often driving to the nearby city of Lübeck.
After moving to Canada in 1983, Britta performed in and around Sault Ste Marie and later helped form the all-female band 'Champagne Breakfast' with four other women, successfully playing at the iconic Zak's club and other bars, then at Northern Lights Festival Boreal Sudbury, where she later also appeared with the recording band, the 'Wailing Aztecs.'
Britta's first solo album, MOONSTONE was released in 2013. And in December 2018, Britta Wolfert's jazz infused album SOLITüDE was issued. Both records were produced and engineered with Rusty McCarthy.

Obtaining real-time information about a hazard event as it unfolds, such as a flood or earthquake, was until relatively recently largely limited to the professional media. However, social media (e.g. Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Flickr ,etc.) have been increasingly used in recent years to gain situational awareness. More and more people are looking to social media as additional, more immediate sources of information.
What is GeoSocial?
This site is temporarily out of action whilst it undergoes further development.
GeoSocial (v2.0) is a tool that allows users, including BGS scientists, to display geoscience-related posts from social media sites such as Twitter. Social media provides a different channel for gathering potentially useful information for scientific analysis from the public. The aim of GeoSocial is to explore whether we can make use of the wealth of information that is publicly available through such sites to help advance scientific understanding and provide better and more timely advice.
How does GeoSocial work?
GeoSocial identifies potentially relevant postings about different geoscience themes (e.g. landslides, aurorae, flooding, volcanic eruptions and earthquakes) from Twitter and, if they can be located, displays them on a map interface. The application currently relies on keyword filtering and currently only searches for English terms. As such, some relevant postings may not be retrieved where they do not meet the predefined search criteria.
Although a level of filtering has been conducted, the posts that are displayed are content provided by Twitter and outside of the BGS's control. The BGS therefore cannot guarantee that these postings won't contain obscenities or cause offence. Over time, we hope to be able to build on the methods behind this data filtering to improve the relevance of the content that is displayed.
We hope to develop this tool further to improve the usefulness of the information it returns. This may be through:
novel data analytical techniques (e.g. using tools such as TensorFlow)
exploration of other web tools that allow user-generated content to be collected
crowd verification
In time, we also hope to provide analysis of the usefulness of this type of information to (BGS and other) hazard scientists when it is compared to structured data holdings, field observations and models. We will also explore opportunities to transfer the knowledge gained to other science themes.

'Small-Format' Target Store Planned for North Park
The retailer plans to open the store at 3029 University Ave. in November, following the same style of the smaller Target location that opened in October 2015 in South Park
By Monica Garske	• Published at 2:42 pm on January 11, 2018
Rendering Courtesy of Target.
San Diego's North Park neighborhood, known for its small, unique businesses, will add a familiar name to its shopping offerings later this year: a Target store.
The retail giant announced Thursday it plans to open a new "small-format" store this November at 3029 University Ave., near the intersection of University Avenue and Ray Street. The store will open at a site that formerly housed Wang's North Park, an Asian-fusion restaurant that shuttered in late May 2015 after just a few years in business.
The approximately 35,200-square-foot building has quite the history. It began as a JCPenney department store in 1942 that operated for three decades. The building went on to house other retail stores but, eventually, sat vacant from 2008 until Wang's took over in early 2012.

The large building sticks out in a sea of smaller storefronts in the neighborhood.
According to Target, the North Park location will offer a "curated assortment" of goods to fit the unique character of the community, plus a CVS Pharmacy and order pickup for those who shop online and want to pick up their items at the store.
The site will also offer free parking for customers in lots and paid public parking. The store plans to employ about 50 team members.
The store will be modeled after the small location that opened in South Park in October 2015 – another uptown community known for its independent businesses. The company said these types of stores are designed to fit into communities "where a traditional-sized Target store may not fit."
In its ongoing mission to expand into dense urban neighborhoods, Target plans to operate 130 small-format stores by the end of 2019.
The 2015 opening of South Park's 19,000-square-foot Target Express location on Grape Street came with its share of concerns from residents and business owners who felt the big-name retailer would detract from the quaint neighborhood's vibe and appeal.
To that end, the original plans for that location included a Starbucks inside the Target, but the company decided to nix that feature because locals worried it would hurt business for small coffee shops around the neighborhood.
The South Park Target Express is located less than two miles south of where the North Park Target will be.
As far as the North Park store is concerned, Mark Schindele, senior vice president of properties for Target, said the company has discussed the plan with San Diego Councilman Chris Ward, leaders from the North Park Main Street Association, the North Park Planning Committee, the North Community Association and the North Park Historical Society.
"[Target] will continue to partner with local leaders to ensure the spirit of this community is reflected throughout the store assortment and design," Schindele said in a press release.
NBC 7 reached out to North Park Main Street for comment about the Target location.
Angela Landsberg, the executive director of North Park Main Street, said Target executives have been very accessible and "willing to discuss the needs of North Park businesses and residents" as they plan the store.
She also said that, in its past life as a JCPenney, this building made North Park "a destination for shopping for San Diegans."
The addition of a Target there will help fuel similar growth for the community.
"Target is today's JCPenney and place where many people go for everyday needs. Our organization supports a thriving business district and we believe that Target will help in propelling this goal for the community," Landsberg told NBC 7.
Helene, a North Park resident who did not want her last name published, said that while the new Target isn't a bad idea, there are other locations nearby, including the South Park Target and Mission Valley store.
"I'm fully aware that it would help the community, however, if you just drive a few minutes south from here, we already have a Target Express in the South Park area," she said. "I don't want to tell a huge corporation like Target what to do, but I don't think, ideally, it's the best idea when you take into account the different economic classes here."
Helene said the site might be better suited for some kind of discount store, movie theatre or community center for people of all ages.
NBC 7 also reached out to Ward for comment.

Q: Batch file log text I have the following in a batch file:
ECHO ---------------- Copy to Test --------- >> "c:\Logs\Posted_%date:~-10,2%-%date:~-7,2%-%date:~-4,4%_%time:~0,2%%time:~3,2%.txt
copy "C:\myfiles\OT*" "c:\OT Test\" >> "C:\Logs\Posted_%date:~-10,2%-%date:~-7,2%-%date:~-4,4%_%time:~0,2%%time:~3,2%.txt

This results in a text file that displays:
C:\Myfiles\OT for Dec17.xlsx
        1 file(s) copied.

I would like to display not only what file was copied but the target name as well.
Something like this:
C:\Myfiles\OT for Dec17.xlsx to c:\OT Test\

What do I need to add to my batch file to accomplish this?

A: The command copy does not have an option to show both the target and destination in its output.
If you really want that in your logfile, there are a few roads you can go. I'll start with the easiest option first, all the way down to the most complicated option last. (replace >> outputfile.txt with your log file)
Echo the path prior to the copy command
The easiest thing is to simply echo the destination to your log.
For example:
echo Copying files to C:\OT Test >> outputfile.txt
copy "C:\myfiles\OT*" "c:\OT Test\" >> outputfile.txt

Use another command
Although copy is the easiest to use, its also the most simple copy command available. It is also one of the commands that goes way back. If your script is going to run on recent systems only (windows 8,10, 2012 or 2016), then you will have robocopy on your computer as well, which does support showing the outputpath in its log. robocopy is an advanced copytool though, but the logfile it produces may be all you need anyway.
Emulate the copy
The next best thing is to use for to cycle through the files first, then in each loop first echo the copy line in the format you like, then on the next line when you actually perform the copy, simply don't output that to your log file.
It will then print to the screen as the script runs, but your logfile will be exactly the way you want it. Given the complex nature of for and my limited time, I can't write you a detailed answer for the for command though. But the first method is likely to be good enough anyway.

Eye For Film >> Movies >> Punishment Park (1971) Blu-Ray Review
Blu-Ray Rating:
Reviewed by: Anton Bitel
Read Anton Bitel's film review of Punishment Park
The film itself has been newly restored and received a brand new high-definition transfer (see 2012 note), with optional (English) subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing.
There is a fascinating introduction by writer/director Peter Watkins (27min), opening with a scrolling text that offers a political and historical background to the film's inception, after which he discusses the low-budget production, his use of amateur yet committed actors, the continuing marginalisation of the film by the American media, the myth that television news is not a constructed fiction, like any other film, and the relevance of Punishment Park in the post-9/11 context.
Dr Joseph A Gomez, a film academic and author of the book Peter Watkins (1979), gives a full audio commentary, arguing that Watkins is "probably the most marginalised major film artist of the second half of the 20th century" and relating how, in the scene where Watkins is heard shouting "Oh my God, cut!", the filmmaker really believed that two members of the cast had accidentally been shot.
There is also a 32-page accompanying booklet, including: the film's complete credits, extracts from the original 1971 Punishment Park press kit, a 20-page extract from Dr Gomez's chapter on the film from his book, with a two-page postscript written by the author in 2005 and a four-page essay (presented in interview form) by Watkins on the creative and political meaning of the film and its relationship with Watkins' theories on the media as a "Monoform" that precludes the expression of any countercultural ideas.
2012 update: Punishment Park has been re-released in a dual-format edition (EKA70061). The extras and booklet remain essentially the same, but this is a newly restored high-definition transfer, remastered from a new 35mm print struck from the restored 35mm blow-up negative (held in Paris) of the original 16mm film. It comes in its original 1.37:1 aspect ratio, and has never looked better. Eureka!'s The Masters of Cinema Series is again to be congratulated for making so important – and overlooked – a title available in both DVD and Blu-ray formats.

2020 Legislative Session Preview
Posted on January 10, 2020 January 10, 2020 by Jon Okun
Source: Brad Boswell, Boswell Consulting, Jan 10, 2020
Following nine months of interim, it is now nearly time for legislators to return to Olympia for the start of the 2020 legislative session on January 13, 2020. This is a short 60-day session and the second half of the biennial budget cycle, which lasts two years. The legislature is expected to finish on-time this session, given that many members are up for re-election in 2020 and campaigning cannot commence until the session is over.
The upcoming session will see a number of changes to the legislative makeup. Most notably, it was announced in March of this year that the legislature's longest standing Speaker of the House, Frank Chopp, would be stepping down from his role. Several candidates campaigned for the position throughout the summer and Rep. Laurie Jinkins of Tacoma was ultimately elected by the House Democratic caucus to take over. She is the first female Speaker in Washington's history. Former Speaker Chopp will remain in the legislature as a Representative for the 43rd district.
The legislature will also see several new faces in January after a number of departures this interim. Rep. Davina Duerr, a Bothell City Council Member, was appointed to fill Rep. Derek Stanford's vacated 1st District House seat after he moved to the Senate to replace former Senator Guy Palumbo, who resigned in the spring. Senator Ron Muzzall, a Whidbey Island farmer, was appointed to replace retiring Senator Barbara Bailey of Oak Harbor. Representatives Jeff Morris (D-40) and Kristine Reeves (D-30) also announced their resignations recently. Reeves is expected to run for the 10th district congressional seat that is being vacated in 2020 by Rep. Denny Heck's retirement. Democrats hope to appoint replacements for both Morris and Reeves by early January. These changes have resulted in several tweaks to committee Chairmanship and makeup. Two legislators have also announced their intent to resign following the 2020 session: Senator Hans Zeiger of Puyallup and Rep. Sherry Appleton of Poulsbo.
As mentioned, 2020 is the second half of the two-year budget cycle, so all bills that were not signed into law by the Governor are still considered alive. If they do not pass this session, they will have to be reintroduced next year and start all over again. Broadly, we are anticipating continued efforts to pass a Low Carbon Fuel Standard and address homelessness, continued work on issues around independent contractors, and data privacy. There will also be a focus on filling budget gaps that have emerged due to the passage of the $30 car tab initiative, I-976, as well as implementation and legal issues with the controversial B&O and bank tax bills that passed in May.
As mentioned, Democrats hope to pass a Low Carbon Fuel Standard in 2020. This policy has been in the works for several years and came close to passing last session, but was ultimately overshadowed by some of the larger carbon policies that did prevail, notably the Clean Energy Transformation Act and legislation concerning energy efficiency in buildings. The LCFS bill, HB 1110, is the top priority of House Energy committee chair, Rep. Joe Fitzgibbon (D-West Seattle).
It is unclear whether a Cap and Trade/Invest policy will be in play this session. Sen. Reuven Carlyle (D-West Seattle), Chair of the Senate Environment committee, has been the leader of this effort. Legislation was introduced late last session but did not make any notable progress. That bill, SB 5981, is still alive but it is unclear whether changes will be made or an entirely new bill will be introduced. There was less stakeholder conversation on this issue than expected this interim. This effort may be impeded by the recent state Supreme Court ruling that struck down parts of Governor Inslee's Clean Air Rule, which would have authorized the Department of Ecology to curb greenhouse gases from imported petroleum and natural gas products.
Legislation regarding a Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy and Resilience (C-PACER) program is expected to return this session with increased attention. A coalition lead by newly appointed Representative Davina Duerr (D-Bothell) is pursuing a new bill. A draft is not yet available but is expected to look similar to HB 1796, legislation sponsored by Rep. Beth Doglio (D-Tacoma) last session. All of these bills and any other legislation impacting CTA members will be included in the bill tracking lists sent out each week.

Q: Why do inherited Docker images differ in size I'm lately experimenting with Docker. I try to build an image architecture looking like this for easy maintenance and extensibility.

I built images with following Dockerfiles and am curious about different container sizes. Why do they differ this much?
Following base/Dockerfile results in a 210.9 MB image (ubuntu:trusty having 188 MB so that's okay).
FROM ubuntu:trusty
RUN apt-get -qq update && \
    DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get -qq install \
    nano
ENV TERM xterm
RUN apt-get -y autoremove && apt-get clean && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/* /tmp/* /var/tmp/*

apache/Dockerfile results in 224.4 MB.
FROM ubuntu:trusty
RUN apt-get -qq update && \
    DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get -qq install \
    nano \
    apache2
ENV TERM xterm
RUN apt-get -y autoremove && apt-get clean && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/* /tmp/* /var/tmp/*
COPY apache2-foreground /usr/local/bin/
RUN chmod a+x /usr/local/bin/apache2-foreground
EXPOSE 80
WORKDIR /var/www/html
CMD ["apache2-foreground"]

apache-php/Dockerfile results in 266.7 MB.
FROM ubuntu:trusty
RUN apt-get -qq update && \
    DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get -qq install \
    nano curl \
    apache2 \
    libapache2-mod-php5 php5-mysql php5-mcrypt php5-gd php5-curl php-pear php-apc && \
    curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php -- --install-dir=/usr/local/bin --filename=composer
RUN /usr/sbin/php5enmod mcrypt
# + last 7 lines from apache/Dockerfile

That's fine so far but we haven't used inheritance until now. Let's have a look:
Why does apache-php-on-base/Dockerfile result in 289.4 MB? It's basically the same steps but split in two images. I would have expected a little overhead but not about 10 %.
FROM base
# + apache-php/Dockerfile without "install nano"

It's even bigger using multiple inheritance: apache-php-on-apache-on-base/Dockerfile results in 314.9 MB.
FROM apache-on-base
# + apache-php/Dockerfile without "install nano apache2"

Where apache-on-base/Dockerfile is of course (resulting in 247 MB):
FROM base
# + apache/Dockerfile without "install nano"

Question: Is there a way preventing images from growing this large while preserving maintainability?
Update: Implementing thaJeztah's suggestions I got following :) Thanks again!

A: Without going through all differences in depth, the most likely reason is that
you're not taking the layered filesystem into account.
Docker creates a new imagelayer for each instruction in your Dockerfile. Basically
what happens is (very much simplified):
So, this will become the first layer:
FROM ubuntu:trusty

(And Docker does something like)
Docker build -t layer1 .

This will become the second layer:
FROM layer1
RUN apt-get -qq update && \
    DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get -qq install \
    nano

(And Docker does something like)
Docker build -t layer2 .

And so on.
The final image is a combination of all those images "stacked". The important thing
to realize there is that a file that's added in "layer1", but removed in "layer2"
is still part of the image; Docker only marks it as "removed" in layer2, but that
doesn't make the image smaller.
Let's have a look at your first Dockerfile. As you can see you're adding a lot
of files in the first RUN instruction, then add an empty layer that only sets
an ENV var, followed by another RUN that removes all the redundant files
from the first RUN. However, those files aren't removed from the earlier layer,
so still take up space in the final image;
FROM ubuntu:trusty
RUN apt-get -qq update && \

    nano
ENV TERM xterm
RUN apt-get -y autoremove && apt-get clean && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/* /tmp/* /var/tmp/*

After building (docker build -t foobar .), this gives me:

foobar      latest   363aa5572838  2 minutes ago  210.9 MB

Making a small change, and combine the two RUN instructions, so that both the
apt-get update and apt-get clean steps take place in the same RUN, so
the same layer;
FROM ubuntu:trusty
RUN apt-get -qq update && \

    apt-get -y autoremove && apt-get clean && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/* /tmp/* /var/tmp/*
ENV TERM xterm

And building that, produces this image:
REPOSITORY  TAG      IMAGE ID      CREATED        SIZE
foobar      latest   ac8fb5e4db16  9 minutes ago  189.3 MB

That's 20MB smaller!

EXPERIENCE EDGE OF YOUR SEAT GAMEPLAY, CREATE SPECTACULAR MULTI-CLASS CROSS-PLATFORM RACES AND LIVE YOUR MOTORSPORT STORY IN GRID™ LEGENDS - LAUNCHING FEB 25, 2022 (Photo: Business Wire)
Codemasters® and Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: EA) today confirmed February 25 as the global launch day for GRID™ Legends.
Dec 3, 2021 11:00 AM EST
Codemasters® and Electronic Arts Inc. (EA) - Get Electronic Arts Inc. Report today confirmed February 25 as the global launch day for GRID™ Legends. The all-action racer will feature the biggest variety of game modes, including a deeper Career with over 250 events, an epic story mode entitled 'Driven to Glory', the return of Drift and Elimination, and the introduction of Electric Boost racing. Drivers of all levels can immediately jump behind the wheel of over 100 vehicles at launch, race around the world from classic tracks to iconic city locations, and connect with friends and rivals in seconds with cross-platform multiplayer thanks to the hop-in feature. GRID Legends will be available on Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation®5, alongside PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC (via Origin and Steam). Pre-order either the Deluxe or Standard edition and receive exclusive Seneca & Ravenwest Double-Pack content*.
GRID Legends features more gameplay choices than any previous GRID title, including the return of community-requested Drift mode and fan favourite, Elimination which puts all the pressure on the back-markers, with drivers dropping out periodically until only one remains. The new Race Creator lets players host their dream multi-class matchups, pitting different vehicle types together to create unique racing moments in every race. The experience can be personalised further by changing the weather conditions, time of day, or adding ramps and boost gates, so no race is ever the same.
'Driven to Glory' is a gritty motorsport story that throws players in at the deep end as teams battle for the GRID World Series. Created using virtual production technology and featuring award-winning actor Ncuti Gatwa, Driven to Glory comes to life using real actors instead of motion-capture, blending movie sequences with racing challenges. After the story's finale, progress carries into career progression, opening up a new series of events to complete.
GRID Legends boasts an improved multiplayer system that puts racing and connecting with friends at the heart of the experience. Not only does it support cross-platform gameplay, but it also updates players as to when their mates are online and allows them to start racing in three quick button presses. No more waiting for friend requests and lobbies; select a race, and the action begins almost simultaneously.
"With the release date set, the studio is putting the final polish to our deepest GRID game ever," said Chris Smith, GRID Game Director at Codemasters. " GRID Legends is an all-action accessible racer focused on variety and choice; deep career, a new innovative story mode and a Race Creator that allows players to create dream racing match-ups with deep personalisation. And our new hop-in gameplay enables friends to connect in seconds and spend more time on the track and less time in lobbies."
Players who pre-order receive the GRID Legends Seneca & Ravenwest Double Pack. Available on launch day, this content unlocks four additional cars for Career events: the Aston Martin Vantage GT4, Porsche 962C, Ginetta G55 GT4, and Koenigsegg Jesko. The pack also features exclusive Ravenwest-focused Career events and exclusive Seneca and Ravenwest team icons, liveries and banners, so players can personalise their vehicles and show them off online.

The school labcoat you receive at your White Coat Ceremony is an important and well-deserved symbol of high achievement. Some medical schools present the school labcoat at the start of medical school. Those are typically the short lab coats most commonly referred to as the student coat or consultation coat. Some medical schools present the school labcoat upon the completion of medical school. Those are typically the longer, thigh-length or knee-length labcoats. Some medical schools do both. Whichever school labcoat you receive, it's important to understand that to the extent that school labcoat may influence the perception others may have of you, purchasing a premium labcoat of the same length may be an unusually worthwhile investment. Medical school is a demanding time in your life, academically, emotionally and physically. A medical residency is even more demanding with hours worked per week still averaging around 80. Most medical students and residents don't always have the time to wash their school labcoat on a daily basis. Most medical students and residents solve this problem either by purchasing additional coats and/or purchasing premium labcoats. The benefit of the first solution, additional labcoats, is apparent. The benefit of the second solution, premium labcoats, may not be. Medelita //www.medelita.com/index.html invented the premium lab coat category. The company was founded by a clinician who experienced first-hand the challenges that accompany medical training and practice. Out of her frustration and that of her peers, a new class of medical apparel was created. It was gender specific out of recognition that no garment, even if it was called "unisex," could possibly fit both a man and a women and fit them both well. It was made from performance fabrics recognizing that the benefits of advanced textile technology were long overdue in their introduction to the field of medical apparel. It possessed the properties of the most advanced fabric treatment technology, endowing it with an ability to repel soiling, staining and fluids, even blood. And it was designed to provide a level of sophistication to what had become a generic commodity. The fashion, fit, functionality and fabrics of Medelita and Medelita Men's labcoats imbue medical students and physicians with a more refined and sophisticated presence. Numerous studies have documented how enhancing one's appearance not only raises the impression others have of you, it can actually raise your own performance. For these reasons and many more, you may want to consider the cost/benefit ratio of purchasing premium school labcoats.

Q: Android convert Synchronous request to asynchronous using internal library Interface Callback I am using .aar library in my app.
It has one Interface for the Network delegation which I need to overwrite.
ApiResponse executeApiCall(String url, HTTPMethod method, String params)

I am using Retrofit for the network calls. I need to convert the Synchronous call to USE asynchronous.
@Override
public ApiResponse executeApiCall(String url, HTTPMethod method, String params) {
    ApiResponse apiResponse;

    try {
        // Synchronous Call
        Call<String> call = RestClient.get().getStringResponse(url, method, params);
        Response<String> response = call.execute();
        apiResponse = new ApiResponse(response.code(), response.body());

    } catch (Exception e) {
        apiResponse = new ApiResponse();
    }

    return apiResponse;
}

Now I am stuck in how to use Asynchronous call within the Network Interface I must overwrite.
@Override
public ApiResponse executeApiCall(String url, HTTPMethod method, String params) {
    ApiResponse apiResponse;

    // Asynchronous Call
    Call<String> call = RestClient.get().getStringResponse(url, method, params);
    call.enqueue(new Callback<String>() {
        @Override
        public void onResponse(@NotNull Call<String> call, @NotNull Response<String> response) {
            if (response.isSuccessful()) {
                apiResponse = new ApiResponse(response.code(), response.body());
            }
        }

        @Override
        public void onFailure(@NotNull Call<String> call, @NotNull Throwable t) {
            apiResponse = new ApiResponse();
        }
    });

    return apiResponse;
}

I can not change the Network delegation interface. I must overwrite it and I need to use retrofit Asynchronous.
Your feedback is most appreciated. Thanks guys.

A: I found some code on a different stack overflow thread.  Here is how you could use the code to achieve what you are looking for.
Here is the class
public abstract class AsyncRunnable<T> {
    protected abstract void run(AtomicReference<T> notifier);

    protected final void finish(AtomicReference<T> notifier, T result) {
        synchronized (notifier) {
            notifier.set(result);
            notifier.notify();
        }
    }

    public static <T> T wait(AsyncRunnable<T> runnable) {
        final AtomicReference<T> notifier = new AtomicReference<>();

        // run the asynchronous code
        runnable.run(notifier);

        // wait for the asynchronous code to finish
        synchronized (notifier) {
            while (notifier.get() == null) {
                try {
                    notifier.wait();
                } catch (InterruptedException ignore) {}
            }
        }

        // return the result of the asynchronous code
        return notifier.get();
    }
}

You can use it like this
  ApiResponse result = AsyncRunnable.wait(new AsyncRunnable<ApiResponse>() {
        @Override
        public void run(final AtomicReference<String> notifier) {
            // here goes your async code, e.g.:
            new Thread(new Runnable() {
                @Override
                public void run() {
                     Call<String> call =
                     RestClient.get().getStringResponse(url, method, params);
                     call.enqueue(new Callback<String>() {
                        @Override
                        public void onResponse(@NotNull Call<String> call,

                         @NotNull
                         Response<String> response) {

                             if (response.isSuccessful()) {
                                 apiResponse = new
                                              ApiResponse(response.code(),
                                 response.body());
                                 finish(notifier, apiResponse);
        }
    }

    @Override
    public void onFailure(@NotNull Call<String> call, @NotNull Throwable t) {
         apiResponse = new ApiResponse();
         finish(notifier, apiResponse);
    }
});

                }
            }).start();
        }
    });

We wait for the response to come from the callback and notify the AsyncRunnable class.

A: I feel you, I had a similar problem with a library that needed to do heavy work (non-UI) on the UI thread. Yep, sounds like a psycopath's lib. Coroutines runBlocking are your friend. I realize that you're asking for a rx-java solution, but can't beat coroutines for this.
/**
 * You can edit, run, and share this code.
 * play.kotlinlang.org
 */
    import kotlinx.coroutines.Dispatchers
import kotlinx.coroutines.runBlocking

fun main() {

    val apiResponse = executeApiCall()

    println(apiResponse) // prints "response"
    println("goodbye, world!!!")
}

/**
 * Synchronous function that waits for coroutine to finish
 */
fun executeApiCall():String {

    return runBlocking(Dispatchers.IO){

        retrofitCall()

    }

}

/**
 * Method that invokes Retrofit call in the background.
 */
suspend fun retrofitCall():String{

//  RestClient.get() ...
    return "response"
}

Note that if you call executeApiCall from UI thread you still will block the UI thread. So possible you need something like lifecycleScope.launch{executeApiCall() } if you're inside an activity or fragment (gradle dependency androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-runtime-ktx:2.1.0), or CoroutineScope(Dispatchers.IO).launch { executeApiCall() }  otherwise.

2011 local and regional author holiday book buying guide.
Posted on 2011-11-09 by Natania
As the nights get colder and you look for a book to curl up with, or for a gift for the readers (or those darned fools who should be reading!) in your life, there are hundreds and hundreds of choices. Well, here, I'll narrow this down to local and regional authors in (primarily, I promise!) science fiction and fantasy, presented along a few categories. Enjoy! (And if this isn't quite enough, there's always last year's list…)
(A brief aside for a local book-buying hint: I've largely given Goodreads links for the books here. Use the "online stores" dropdown to select IndieBound, and then use IndieBound's buttons to find it in a local store by zip code or city. And one more thing: there are a lot of Kindle and other e-books that I didn't list — Wake Forest author Michael Jasper and Hertford, NC author David Niall Wilson, among others, I am so looking at you — this list is really meant to be a "stuff I can pick up or at least order in a local bookstore by a local author, wrap up, and give to someone" list, with exceptions for a couple of digital-only audiobooks.)
YOUNG READERS:
Hillsborough: John Claude Bemis's The White City (Random House Books for Young Readers, August) concludes his The Clockwork Dark trilogy, which began with 2009's The Nine Pound Hammer and continued with 2010's The Wolf Tree. Audiobooks (both boxed CD sets and giftable Audible.com downloads) for all 3 books are also available. Additionally, a paperback edition of The Wolf Tree came out this year
Durham: Stephen Messer's The Death of Yorik Mortwell (Random House Books for Young Readers, September) is his second standalone book for young readers after last year's Windblowne. This one is a quirky ghost story, illustrated by Gris Grimly. Additionally, a paperback edition of Windblowne came out this year
Charlotte: A. J. Hartley's Darwen Arkwright and the Peregrine Pact (Razorbill, October) introduces 11-year-old Darwen Arkwright, a boy who has just moved from England to Atlanta. R.L. Stine calls it "Fantastic, surprising fun!" and it received a positive review from the NY Journal of Books
FANTASY:
Pittsboro: David Drake's Out of the Waters (Tor, July) is the second novel in his Books of the Elements tetralogy, which began with last year's The Legions of Fire which was released in mass market paperback earlier this year
Raleigh: Clay and Susan Griffith's The Rift Walker (Pyr, September) is the second novel in their Vampire Empire trilogy, which began with last year's The Greyfriar
Chapel Hill: Natania Barron's Pilgrim of the Sky (Candlemark & Gleam, December) is her debut novel, which Cherie Priest calls "… a lush, dreamy fable – both vintage gothic, and modern mystery … lovingly laced with magic and darkness from start to finish." Pre-orders are being handled through a Kickstarter campaign as well as via B&N — though I'm sure other local bookstores can figure out how to get the book to you
Durham: Mur Lafferty's 5-book Afterlife series (Heaven, Hell, Earth, Wasteland, and War), originally released as podcasted audiobooks, were published in beautiful matching hardcover editions
Raleigh: Lewis Shiner's 1994 World Fantasy Award-winning novel Glimpses was released in digital audio format at Audible.com

South Carolina: T.C. McCarthy's Germline (Orbit, July) was released as an original mass market paperback, and is also available in audio from Blackstone Audio
FICTION:

Raleigh: Lewis Shiner's Dark Tangos (Subterranean Press, August) is a taut thriller set against Argentinian tangos and intrigue and last I saw, both The Regulator and Quail Ridge Books (which each hosted book signings) had signed copies in stock. Additionally,with new paperback editions of Say Goodbye and Slam this year, all of Shiner's previous novels are back in print in a "definitive edition" 6-book series.

The properties of dwarf spheroidal galaxies in the Cen A group
Müller, Oliver, Fahrion, Katja, Rejkuba, Marina, Hilker, Michael, Lelli, Federico, Lutz, Katharina, Pawlowski, Marcel S., Coccato, Lodovico, Anand, Gagandeep S. and Jerjen, Helmut 2021. The properties of dwarf spheroidal galaxies in the Cen A group. Astronomy and Astrophysics 645 , A92. 10.1051/0004-6361/202039359
Official URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.1051/0004-6361/202039359
Dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSphs) have been extensively investigated in the Local Group, but their low luminosity and surface brightness make similar work in more distant galaxy groups challenging. Modern instrumentation unlocks the possibility of scrutinizing these faint systems in other environments, expanding the parameter space of group properties. We use MUSE spectroscopy to study the properties of 14 known or suspected dSph satellites of Cen A. Twelve targets are confirmed to be group members based on their radial velocities. Two targets are background galaxies at ∼50 Mpc: KK 198 is a face-on spiral galaxy, and dw1315−45 is an ultra-diffuse galaxy with an effective radius of ∼2300 pc. The 12 confirmed dSph members of the Cen A group have old and metal-poor stellar populations and follow the stellar metallicity-luminosity relation defined by the dwarf galaxies in the Local Group. In the three brightest dwarf galaxies (KK 197, KKs 55, and KKs 58), we identify globular clusters, as well as a planetary nebula in KK 197, although its association with this galaxy and/or the extended halo of Cen A is uncertain. Using four discrete tracers, we measure the velocity dispersion and dynamical mass of KK 197. This dSph appears dark matter dominated and lies on the radial acceleration relation of star-forming galaxies within the uncertainties. It also is consistent with predictions stemming from modified Newtonian dynamics. Surprisingly, in the dwarf KK 203 we find an extended Hα ring. Careful examination of Hubble Space Telescope photometry reveals a very low level of star formation at ages between 30 and 300 Myr. The Hα emission is most likely linked to a ∼40 Myr old supernova remnant, although other possibilities for its origin cannot be entirely ruled out.

Race and development are, when considered separately, complex and contentious concepts. Each has been and continues to be discussed, written about and re-defined extensively from a range of both complimentary and contradictory perspectives, theories and frameworks. They both, explicitly at least, occupy separate discursive, theoretical and practical spaces. Kalpana Wilson's Race, Racism and Development – Interrogating History, Discourse and Practice is the first of its kind to extensively and critically explore the relationship between the two ideas.
Prior to Wilson's book there have been very few attempts to conceptualise race within the context of development. In 2002 Third World Quarterly published an article by Sarah White entitled Thinking Race, Thinking Development that sought to "challenge the dominant 'colour-blind' stance of development" (White, 2002, p. 407). For a brief period of time between then and 2006 when a number of articles addressing the same topic appeared in a special edition of Progress in Development Studies it appeared that White's challenge was gaining momentum. However, this was short lived and the relationship between race and development has received little attention since then. This book is in many ways a body of work written in response to and as a result of the silence on race in development. If, as White states, that "talking about race in development is like breaking a taboo" (White, 2002, p. 407) then Wilson's suggestion that the "book should be read as a provocation to further engagement, exploration and elaboration in relation to its themes" (p. 243), is both an attempt at breaking this taboo and call to action for others in the field to do the same.
The two part title of the book (i.e. the first part being 'Race, Racism and Development' and the second being its subtitle, Interrogating History, Discourse and Practice) is fitting given that Wilson's introductory section sets out to introduce and define race, racism and development before moving on to eight chapters that serve as the interrogation. Two things in particular make Wilson's introductory section easy to read, even for those who may not be familiar with concepts of race and racism and how it relates to development. Firstly she begins with a topic that many will be familiar with; the Kony 2012 social media campaign and through this accessible example Wilson is able to demonstrate the construction of race and racial hierarchy and how these interact with development. Secondly, Wilson, an LSE Fellow in Gender Theory, Globalisation and Development has taught the Race, Ethnicity and Development module of Birbeck's MSc in Development Studies since 2004 and her publications give an indication of her interdisciplinary interests. This means that despite the book's recent publication date Wilson has approached the subject with a great deal of knowledge and a long standing history of teaching, exploring and engaging with the issues of race and development. The evidence of this is in her ability to incorporate and critique a diverse range of sources including Darwin, W.E.B Dubios, Frantz Fanon, Edward Said, Amartya Sen, Arturo Escobar, Thomas Malthus; Social and Cultural Theorists Paul Gilroy and Stuart Hall; African-American feminist bell hooks; and a large number of Diasporan/Global South writers and academics. All of this information is presented in an easy to understand way ensuring that those who are new to any of the concepts are able to gain a sufficient level of understanding of the concept. This makes it a lot easier to engage with the more critical aspects of the book that appear in later chapters.
The foundation of Wilson's argument builds on views expressed by previous writers on this topic i.e. that race is connected to development. By situating the nexus of this relationship within a specific timeframe; the late eighteenth century, which pre-dates modern development theory and presenting the two concepts as inextricably linked, the book lives up to its claim of wanting to provoke further discussion and engagement. Whilst there is a sequential and chronological order to the chapter progression within the book, Wilson's arguments are presented through three key themes which offers the possibility of reading through the book chapters thematically rather than sequentially. However, this approach is only slightly hampered by the chapter titles which at times make it difficult to determine the thematic links but is mitigated by the introduction which does a good job of highlighting themes within chapters.
Chapter 1 and Chapter 6 both explore the race, racism and development relationship through what Wilson terms her second analytical framework; "the materiality of race" and its relation to "global structures of capital and the process of accumulation" (p. 5). Of particular interest to academics and students who are interested in development history and its links to colonisation; Chapter 1 successfully overcomes the potential pitfalls of attempting to take on a topic too broad to be contained in one chapter by framing it through the lens of 1857 British colonial rule of India. In this chapter Wilson makes a strong argument in support of her claim that it was as a result of the combination of the emergence of racial difference and hierarchy influenced by social Darwinism and the violent response by the British to the 1857 uprisings in India that led to the racialisation of people and the structures of capital. Relying on modern day phrases such as the 'War on Terror' to describe this historical event allows the reader to transition between this first chapter and the sixth that is dedicated to imperialism and racialised bodies in the 21st century.
Development continues to be caught in a theory/practice binary and Wilson acknowledges this almost as part of the reason why, in her view, she considers the book's structure unconventional. However, because of her well defined analytical framework she is able to navigate through this dichotomy in a way that benefits the reader. For instance Chapters, 3, 4, 5 and 8, focus on race and racism within development policy with particular emphasis on population control (Chapter 3,); HIV/AIDs policy (Chapter 4); good governance and corruption (Chapter 5) and DfID's neo-liberalism (Chapter 8) work very well as standalone sections for development practitioners who may not wish to read the more theoretical chapters of the book. Equally however these chapters provide 'real world', examples that would be of benefit to any degree course that seeks to demonstrate how race and racism has influenced development policy.
A slight concern, is that those who approach this book expecting definitive answers, may end up disappointed; Wilson's style has an air of 'thinking aloud', especially since she constantly asks questions along the way. However, Wilson openly admits that the book raises even more questions for her and there is merit in the 'thinking aloud' style. The topic she has attempted to address is not only broad; it has been marked for too long by a silence and an unwillingness or inability to engage. Had Wilson presented her book as the final word on race, racism and development it may have stifled further debate. Instead by asking questions she provides a platform for student, academics and practitioners to debate further the themes of the book. In so doing, Wilson remains true to her first analytical framework that considers race as an idea that is "reanimated and reconfigured through contemporary development discourse" (p. 243), because it means that for as long as development discourse continues to evolve there will be always be room to explore the ever changing conceptualisation of race in relation to development.

NOTE: The post below was first submitted in March 2013 as an assessed piece of work for one of the modules that make up the MSc in Practising Sustainable Development (ICT4D specialism) that I am currently undertaking on a part-time basis at Royal Holloway, University of London. It is my first attempt at a book review so please do take this into consideration when reading it.
I am halfway through my MSc in Practising Sustainable Development (ICT4D specialism) and while as part-time student I still have quite a bit of time before I have to start my dissertation; it is hard not to start the thinking process. For a long time now I have been interested in Critical Race Theory (CRT) and one of the things I am keen to research is how CRT can be used as a theoretical approach to Development studies and practice, particularly ICT4D. I am also interested in the construction of race in the digital age and how technology is challenging and reshaping views on racial identity.
One of my biggest hurdles at the moment is how little research there is on race and development, particularly outside the conventional binaries of racial haves and have-nots. So I decided to start a stand-alone blog; Race and ICT4D, which at this stage is simple link dumping site, where I post links that cover race, technology and development. I have for the moment, steered clear of any analysis and commentary though I imagine, that as I develop my own ideas, I will start to write more critically. It is quite a struggle because so often I read something – and I immediately want to comment – but that is what my personal blog is for.
The other thing I am struggling with is how to link to restricted access academic papers. As a student I have full access to these journals but I am well aware that is not the case for everyone else. I find it a bit limiting to reference an article in a blog post knowing that some readers may not be able to access the article.
It is still very much an evolving project and I am sure as I progress I will find solutions to some of the above (and hopefully many other) issues. What I really hope is that by providing a public space I can, firstly keep track of my sources but most importantly I can begin to engage with others on similar topics.
Please feel free to send me any links, book titles, articles etc. that you think may be of interest.

Tips for Minimalist Photography in an Urban Environment
A Post By: Megan Kennedy
Minimalism gained traction in America in the 1960s with links to the Japanese traditional culture of Zen Philosophy. As a reaction against the whims of abstract expressionism, artists like Sol LeWitt, Frank Stella, and Mark Rothko experimented with stripped back processes and imagery, exposing the bare bones of visual art.
The history of the minimalist photography movement is not dissimilar to that of their contemporaries. The scientific photography of Bernice Abbott is referred to as a marked pivot towards minimalism. Photographers like Robert Adams and Lewis Baltz also used reductionist techniques to explore composition in the natural and urban landscape.
Like all visual art, minimalism is founded on the basic elements of design; line, shape, color, texture, form, and composition. The scope of interpretation within minimalist art is vast, with its proponents yielding a diversity of results and reasoning. Overall, however, minimalist art can be surmised within a single principle, the old adage of "keep it simple".
Minimalism is about how little you can say without compromising meaning. Minimalist photography is a great opportunity to slow down and reevaluate your photographic process. Before taking a shot, take a breath. Think about your desired outcome. How does your knowledge of composition apply to the subject at hand? How would you like to approach exposure? Minimalism is a very meditative process, sort of like yoga, but for your photography.
Composing minimalist photography in an urban landscape
Often, the utilitarian components that make up an urban landscape are the same that serve as the best minimalist subjects. Minimalist depictions of nature tend to rely on the soft flow of organic structures. However, urban minimalist photography capitalizes on the bold lines of old buildings, fresh apartments, and upturned car parks.
Intermixed with bolts of color, texture, and juxtaposition, minimalist photography can be both subtle and loud at the same time. Photographers of minimalism capitalize on strong, stripped back elements to create both subtle and high-impact imagery. That's why moving forward in minimalist photography often requires you to steep yourself in the very basics of photographic composition first.
The rule of thirds is a trick to help determine the overall composition of a photograph. Mentally divide an image up evenly into thirds both horizontally and vertically. The lines that intersect around the central rectangle indicate the points that capture the majority of a viewer's attention. By offsetting important points in a photograph from the center rectangle, an image will feel more naturally appealing to your audience.
Minimalist photography relies equally on what has been included and excluded from an image. Composing a visually harmonious photograph with tools like the rule of thirds maximizes the short time a viewer has to engage with a photograph.
This image is sectioned off into 9 even rectangles. The four central intersecting points indicate the focal points of the photograph.
This image is an example of the rule-of-thirds in practice. No single component of the photograph lies directly within the center, guiding the viewer's eye around the image rather directly to the center.
Color has a language that establishes the atmosphere and emotional range of an image. Where traditional black and white highlights the form of an image, two or three highly contrasting colors can bring the facade of the urban environment to life.
Blocks of color convey vitality and hardness in an image, whereas a gradient is softer and more accommodating. Pastel color schemes depicted by many contemporary minimalist photographers deliver a surreal, dream-like quality to a photograph, while also alluding to childhood, disassociation and new-media aesthetics.
Isolated colors can add depth to an image and draw attention to details often overlooked in the urban landscape.
Strong lines in minimalist photography carry the integrity of an image. Conveying depth and presence, bold lines leading in from the perimeter of an image grab a viewer's attention and guide their eye through the artwork. Lines delineate the boundaries of different bodies within a space and can denote unrest at sharp angles or quiet emotion with organic ripples.
Horizontal lines are used as a device to indicate the horizon, perspective, or to completely upend a viewer's sense of space altogether! When composing an image, follow each line through with your eyes. Adjusting the integrity of a line later in post-production can be extremely time-consuming. And the success of a minimalist photograph could (and probably will) count on it being exact.
Leading lines reach the perimeter of the physical photograph and provide the viewer with a visual trail to follow into the interior of the image.
The compositional elements of line and shape often cross over in a visual plane. For example, the perimeter of a shape can be defined by its outer line, sectioning the interior of the shape off from the background of the image.
Sharp, inorganic shapes create unrest and action in an image, whereas smooth, organic shapes create a scene of peace, nature, and evenness. The urban environment consists of an inexhaustible array of sharp and smooth lines. Trying to bring the two spectra together creates a dynamic juxtaposition of design and emotion.
Pattern and texture
Pattern and texture lift the image from the page. Texture is the physicality of an image, which engages with an audience by appealing to their sense of touch. Pattern, often combined with texture, adds detail to a photograph, revealing beauty the repetition of otherwise unobserved subject matter.
Minimalism and pattern can combine to emphasize size and number, delivering a feeling of sensory overload simply by the repetition of a single design. When limited to concentrated areas in an image, a pattern can serve as a disruption to the remaining landscape or as a contrast to emphasize negative space.
Textural images often depict the wear and tear of the urban environment in delightfully intricate detail.
Negative space is what is not there which can be kind of confusing. It lends breathing room to an image. It allows the immediate subject matter to exist with little or no intrusion elsewhere in the frame.
As an example, an image of a single cloud, framed by blue sky neither intrudes nor detracts from the other, but the two exchange meaning nonetheless. The sharp contrast between vacant and overflowing environments means that urban landscapes are great for incorporating negative space into minimalist photography.
The geometric pattern on the right of this image is offset by the negative space on the left. The relationship balances out the image overall and enhances the bold yellow streak down the middle.
Minimalism has seen a considerable resurgence in recent years, especially in interior design and photography. A wealth of online curatorship means that tags like #minimal and #minimal_perfection unearth fresh, reductionist imagery by the second. Although the overwhelming volume of images may seem contrary to the principals of minimalism itself, the evolution of the modern landscape continues to create a wealth of opportunity for photographic artists looking to branch out or hone their skills in composition.

We love Parties and Weddings and have many options to choose from!
We offer on and off site menus and options!
" We had a family get together at Partners Pub on a Friday night. The place was buzzing. The wait staff was friendly and professional, The food was great and the prices reasonable. Be warned that the portions are hugh. You might consider spiting an entree. My wife and I split the Reuben with a side of coleslaw. The side of coleslaw was big enough to be a meal in itself. Other people in our party had the fish and chips, salads, soups and everyone was pleased with the food."
"What a friendly, inviting place. Great menu, always watch the specials. Soups and sides are fresh and homemade. Love the burgers ad the variety of sandwiches, hot and cold. Live music, plenty of parking, friendly staff, cold beer...what more can I say? I go whenever I am in the area. They make you feel at home."
" and a drink and a great place to chat with friends. Quite frequently when I'm entertaining a group of friends who aren't from the area, I will bring them to Partner's. In fact, my good friend Randy insists on coming to Partner's Pub before anywhere else when he comes to Fulton County for an evening. Partner's has a broad menu of delicious homemade offerings, including my personal favorite,the salads with Lanzi's outstanding homemade dressing (which is available in bottles). After dinner or later in the evening, Lanzi's has an excellent selection of drafts. I'm especially a fan of our regional domestics being available: Genesee on tap, Utica Club in cans, as well craft beers like Davidson's and Saranac.
It never takes more than a couple minutes to get service in either the dining area or in the bar, in later hours. The availability of the dining area later in the evening is what makes this place great for socializing. Even on a weekend night, when all of the seats at the bar are filled (as you'd expect), you can almost always grab a table with friends or colleagues. This also has the added advantage that you can sit down, which can be very nice at the end of the day."
"The owner comes around and chats with you and the staff takes the time to chat with you. All sports on the many TV's as well."
" great service, friendly neighborhood bar"
" from the new chef named Tom and it was unbelievable from the tenderness to the bleu cheese and onion topping. It came with salad, garlic potatoes and tasty green,yellow beans, with baby carrots. I also found the price very reasonable to my wallet. Keep up the culinary delights forever!!"
Great place for your event!

Decide how you're going to get your belongings there. Which type of moving services to move is going to depend which is more stressful for you – spending money or spending time. Services provided by moving companies range from the full services, where movers pack and load all your belongings, to simple truck rentals. One recently popular economy option is freight service – you pack and load all your belongings into a designated pod, and a truck moves it for you.
Get your utilities hooked up before you get there. Get rid of excess belongings. The less you have to pack, the better.
Pack up! For delicate items, using clothes or copies of the local free newspaper to pad out boxes works fine – no need to invest large sums in bubble wrap.
Make a party of it. If possible, buy a day of your friends' and relatives' time with some pizza—it's more fun.
Get there. Be sure to practice and learn how to park again if you're the one driving the truck!
Move in. If you need help and don't know anyone, check with Removals Melbourne – they often have labor available.
Get your address changed. The post office has an online form for this now. Let important agencies like your bank know, and watch your forwarded mail to make sure you've notified all the people who really need to know where you live.
Check the requirements. What will it take to get your car registered in your new town? Are there different emissions standards? How do you move your voter registration? A local library or the internet should be a great resource.
Settle in. Get to know your new town. Be sure to get a phone book or a city guide to see what's available nearby.
