Why Signarama? Five Reasons to Start Your Own Signarama Franchise
by Dev Team | Jan 12, 2017 | Signarama Franchise
There are a lot of reasons that you should consider investing in B2B franchise opportunities instead of starting your own business—the main one being that franchises are much less likely to fail than startups. When looking at various B2B franchise opportunities, one franchise that you should strongly consider is Signarama. Following are five ways you can benefit from one of Signarama's B2B franchise opportunities:
1. You Get to Be Your Own Boss
You may get to be your own boss when you start a business from the ground up, but you won't have the security or support that you'll have when you invest in a franchise. Signarama gives their franchisees the freedom to run their businesses without interference as long as they follow their business model. However, they will always provide support when it's asked for—from helping new owners in the initial stages of opening a new Signarama to assisting with the continuous operation of the store.
2. You'll Be Able to Take Advantage of an Established Business Model
Considering that Signarama has over 900 stores around the world, you can assume that their business model is effective. You won't have to go through the trial and error of creating a business model from scratch when there's an existing one in place that works so well.
3. You'll Have the Security of an Established Brand
The reason most new businesses fail is because the owners don't create brand awareness by increasing their brand exposure. This is not easy to do, and requires a lot of smart marketing. By investing in Signarama's B2B franchise opportunities, you won't have to worry about trying to establish your brand, since Signarama is already well-established.
In fact, Signarama is about as established as you can get—it's the biggest sign franchise in the entire world, and has cemented its reputation as a leading innovator in the sign industry. Additionally, it's garnered numerous accolades, such as being named the number one sign franchise in 2014 by Entrepreneur Magazine.
4. You'll Have Ongoing Support
Very little experience is required to invest in a Signarama franchise. This is because Signarama provides you with all the training and support you'll need. They'll not only provide two weeks of training at their Center for Entrepreneurial Excellence, they'll also provide upwards of a week of on-the-job training at an established Signarama franchise. Then they'll provide two weeks of technical marketing training at your new franchise location.
In addition to all of the initial training to help ensure that you hit the ground running with your new franchise, Signarama provides continual support by offering access to state-of-the-art technology and equipment, and giving you deals through the relationships that they've established with vendors and suppliers. Signarama even has a mentoring program for its new franchise owners to help ensure that your new franchise will thrive.
5. You'll Be Part of a Booming Industry
One of the biggest benefits of being in the sign industry is that signs are always in demand. Just think about all of the new businesses that open up in your area every year. These businesses may come and go—but they all need signs. Even established businesses need signs, especially if they are rebranding. This means that you'll have a very good chance at growing your Signarama business.
If you're looking at B2B franchise opportunities to invest in, be sure to contact us at Signarama to find out more about our B2B franchise opportunities today.

This car came to us with the most need for repairs. MAAP was not the company that restored the car originally, so there were numerous mechanisms across the car that were installed incorrectly or missing entirely. To begin with, the engine was having trouble idling and creating power, so special attention was payed to the fuel system. On the other end, the brakes produced a grinding noise upon use and caused the car to shudder when coming to a stop. Additionally, the suspension on the front end of the car had seen its fair share of use and exposure to the elements, and was in need of all new rubber bushings. Every system was assessed for further damage and dealt with accordingly to work out some of the kinks. Stay tuned to find out more about the problems identified with the powertrain, suspension and brakes! Also coming soon: better pictures of this beautiful piece of history.

Four Different Baltimore Pro Football Teams Have Won Championships
Winning the title is the essential objective of any football crew, or any games group whatsoever truly. There is just one motivation to go out and play and that is to win the title. A title season isn't simply remunerating to the players that duke it out on the field, yet in addition to the fans that root them on. Urban communities and areas ought to be exceptionally glad for their title winning groups.
Baltimore is an incredible football town and expert football has been available there in some structure for over 60 years. Numerous individuals don't have a clue about this, yet four diverse expert football crews have won titles while addressing the city of Baltimore.
The Baltimore Ravens – 2000
The last Baltimore group to win an association title in ace football was the group that as of now addresses the city in the NFL, the Baltimore Ravens. The Ravens started as an establishment in 1996, having been dynamic as the Cleveland Browns the earlier year. They had a couple of intense years, yet in 2000 everything met up behind a solid running match-up and an incredible protection. They wound up crushing the New York Giants 34-7 in Super Bowl XXXV.
The Baltimore Colts – 1958, 1959, and 1970
The Baltimore Colts won titles multiple times. In 1958, they crushed the New York Giants for the NFL title in what many would allude to as the best game at any point played. ทางเข้าSA GAMING In the wake of following a large portion of the 1959 title game, the Colts would ultimately score 24 unanswered focuses and rout the Giants in a rematch of the earlier year's title game by the score of 31-16. The Colts won their third association title in 1970 when they beat the Oakland Raiders in Super Bowl V by the score of 27-17. In fact, the Colts have a fourth title as they were heroes of the NFL in 1968, yet proceeded to lose Super Bowl III to the New York Jets of the American Football League before the two classes blended.
The Baltimore Stars – 1985
The Stars establishment had played the initial two periods of their time in the USFL in the city of Philadelphia. The group was moved to Baltimore for 1985 and however they weren't just about as effective as they had been previously, they had the option to make it into the end of the season games. The sorcery was still there however and they walked through the post season and would win the last title game in USFL history by overcoming the Oakland Invaders.
The Baltimore Stallions – 1995
The Canadian Football League ventured into the United States during the 1990's, and one of the urban communities that got a group was Baltimore. In 1995, their subsequent season, the Baltimore Stallions won their division, however they turned into the primary group situated in America to win the Gray Cup as bosses of the Canadian Football League. The group was gone the following year as they were moved to Montreal and renamed the Allouettes.

The price of petrol is predicted to increase by around 73 cents a litre, diesel by 92 cents and illuminating paraffin by 74 cents.
Rising international petroleum prices have resulted in South Africans facing substantially higher fuel prices in March.
This is according to the Automobile Association (AA), which was commenting on unaudited month-end fuel price data released by the Central Energy Fund.
The Association says the price of petrol is predicted to increase by around 73 cents a litre, diesel by 92 cents and illuminating paraffin by 74 cents.
"The Rand/US dollar exchange rate has worked slightly in South Africa's favour during February, giving savings of up to nine cents a litre. However, this has been shouldered aside by fuel price rises which have come off their January plateau and advanced considerably," the Association says.
These price hikes come as toll fees across the country increase tomorrow while additional increases to the General Fuel and Road Accident Fund levies will apply in April. An additional tax to the fuel price – the Carbon Tax – will come into force in June when an additional nine cents will be added to the price of petrol and an additional ten cents will be added to the price of diesel.
"In the medium term, we expect world supply will slightly outstrip demand as the USA continues to make impressive progress with its domestic oil production. However, petroleum prices remain vulnerable to geopolitical shocks and we cannot rule out further price hikes in the first half of 2019," the Association concludes.

In this Tuesday, June 25, 2019, photo, farmer Matthew Keller walks through one of his pig barns near Kenyon, Minn. When the Trump administration announced a $12 billion aid package for farmers struggling under the financial strain of his trade dispute with China, the payments were capped. But records obtained by The Associated Press under the Freedom of Information Act show that many large farming operations easily found legal ways around the limits to collect big checks. Recipients who spoke to AP defended the payouts, saying they didn't even cover their losses under the trade war and that they were legally entitled to them. Keller, who also grows crops to feed his livestock, said he "definitely appreciated" the $143,820 he collected from the program. It didn't cover all his losses but it helped with his cash flow, he said. He reached the $125,000 cap on his hogs, and the remaining money was for his soybeans and corn.
Trump's farm subsidies: How much is our state getting?
Jason Dean & The Associated Press
Jul 9, 2019 Updated Jul 9, 2019
When President Donald Trump's administration announced a $12 billion aid package for farmers struggling under the financial strain of his trade dispute with China, the payments were capped.
But many large farming operations have had no trouble finding legal ways around them, records provided to The Associated Press under the Freedom of Information Act show.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) announced the first Market Facilitation Program (MFP) in July 2018 to help agricultural producers who may have suffered due to recent trade disruptions with China.
USDA estimated Chinese retaliatory tariffs enacted last year caused roughly $11 billion in damages to U.S. farmers. The government provided up to $12 billion – mainly in the form of direct payments to farmers -- to offset those impacts from October 1, 2018 to May 31, 2019.
Recently, a second round of funding was announced, authorizing USDA to provide up to $16 billion in additional offsets, much of which will also be direct payments to farmers affected by the trade war.
Loopholes around Trump trade aid limits
Critics say it's the latest example of how loopholes in federal farm subsidy programs allow large farms to collect far more than the supposed caps on that aid.
Although many farmers received significantly more than the stated maximum payments, the program set payment caps per person or legal entity in three categories:
$125,000 for crop commodities (soybeans, wheat, cotton, corn and sorghum)
$125,000 for dairy production and hogs
$125,000 for fresh sweet cherries and shelled almonds
This means a person could receive maximum of $375,000 -- if they produced commodities in all categories -- or a maximum of $125,000 if they produced commodities in only one category. Business operations can get more than the stated maximum, but individual farmers can not.
Explore this database to find out how the subsidies were distributed.
Of the money, 82.6% – $7.06 billion – went to 415,791 soybean farmers. The second most subsidized commodity was cotton, which accounted for about 5.6% of all money.
Use this search to find out how much went to your state, and which commodities received the most aid. You can also search business farms that received overpayments -- more than the maximum payout that was supposed to be allowed.

Rajiv Chandrasekaran: From Afghanistan to Chicago
Few American journalists know the Middle East better than Rajiv Chandrasekaran; he gives us a preview of his Chicago Humanities Festival talk, from the perspective of an insider on the war on terror.
By Elizabeth Fenner
Few American journalists know the Middle East better than Rajiv Chandrasekaran. A longtime reporter and editor at The Washington Post, he spent years as the paper's bureau chief in Baghdad; his book about Iraq, Imperial Life in the Emerald City, was chosen by The New York Times as one of the 10 best books of 2007. His new book, Little America: The War Within the War for Afghanistan, gives an insider look on the war on terror. He'll appear this Sunday, Oct. 21, at 2 pm at the Chicago Humanities Festival—but agreed to give Chicago magazine a sneak preview.
What will you be talking about here in Chicago on Sunday?
I'm going to cast the net more broadly than just the war, beginning with the earliest days of the U.S. engagement with Afghanistan. The first wave of Americans arrived there in the late 1940s as part of an ambitious effort to develop the southern part of the country. There's a much larger story to tell. Unfortunately, we are repeating the same mistakes today.
You've made more than a dozen trips to southern Afghanistan since 2009, right?
That's right. I've probably spent about eight months total on the ground there. My last trip was last summer.
How have conditions changed over that time?
In parts of the country, the security situation has improved. That shouldn't be a surprise: when you send U.S. troops in, they do good things. They did beat back the Taliban in places. But the big question is whether any of this is sustainable.
Your new book is about the "war within the war" for Afghanistan. What does that mean?
What I discovered was that there were multiple wars. It's not just our troops fighting the Taliban. There have been wars between American commanders; between American diplomats and the coalition military headquarters; between Americans and our NATO allies. And in Washington, fights inside the bureaucracy, including between the State Department and the White House. Our war effort has been beset by numerous conflicts.
You make the case that the United States has never understood Afghanistan and probably never will. Why?
Because we fail to take the time to understand the history, the culture, the traditions, the religion of the country. Too often, we think that we can come in with what seems to be, back in Washington, a smart, workable solution. But those approaches work only if you have a genuine consultation with the Afghan people.
Do you think the war in Afghanistan is failing?
The good war has turned bad, in part because of mistakes we've made, in part because of the malfeasance of the Pakistani government, and in part because the Afghan government has not been a partner with us. The surge did not make sense. But nor does packing up and going home right away. If we were to leave tomorrow, it likely would result in the Taliban expanding control over much of the country, plunging it into another civil war. We promised the Afghan people a better future. We have a moral obligation to help them. That doesn't mean staying there in perpetuity. We need to move quickly to build and train the Afghan army and police, so they can take over the fight from us.
What are the main differences you've seen between how the Bush and Obama administrations have approached the war on terror?
A better question might be: What are the differences in how they have approached the task of rebuilding shattered societies? In Iraq, the Bush administration had inexperienced twentysomething neocons trying to do it. In Afghanistan, the Obama administration turned to the State Department and other parts our federal bureaucracy, but they, too, screwed things up. Both approaches have been dysfunctional. The real question is: Should the United States be in the business of nation building?
What have you learned about the situation in Afghanistan that the average American doesn't grasp?
That this war is not going away anytime soon. The hope that we can wipe our hands clean of Afghanistan is totally misguided. Afghanistan needs a modest, sustained American commitment. That does not mean thousands and thousands of American troops. It means some troops, to help the Afghan security forces and to go after any big-fish terrorists that are discovered there.
Afghanistan may be the most dangerous place on earth right now. What's it like going there regularly?
Each trip has been harrowing it its own way. Afghanistan is not an easy place to get to. I've been in helicopters that have taken fire. I've walked around with foot patrols where there are explosive devices. But you can't understand what's really going on if you're not there on the ground, talking to people, having tea with Afghan elders. You have to see it with your own eyes. These are risks worth taking. I just didn't tell my wife what I really encountered.

Retired Cedarville Librarian Earns Lifetime Service Award
Cedarville News Retired Cedarville Librarian Earns Lifetime Service Award
by Natalia Kirychuk, Public Relations Writer
The Association of Christian Librarians (ACL) honored now-retired Cedarville University librarian Lynne Funtik with the Lifetime Service Award. This award is given to retiring members of the association who have more than 10 years active service in the association, furthering the field of librarianship or the association itself.
Funtik has been an active member of ACL for 28 years, volunteering at national conferences, participating on committees and assisting in projects that help members nationally and internationally. Most recently, Funtik helped launch "Reference Point," a monthly member-written digital devotional.
"Lynne has served faithfully and with humility," said Janelle Mazelin, executive director of ACL. "She is highly deserving of this award."
Funtik served at the Centennial Library starting in 1994, and retired at the end of June after 23 years serving as an information services librarian and assisting students and faculty in research support and information literacy development. Funtik has been a proponent of library services for all students, especially those with disabilities or international students adjusting to life at an American college.
"This was an unexpected special recognition," said Funtik. "I am very grateful."
Lynn Brock, dean of library services at Cedarville University, believes Funtik is worthy of the recognition.
"She has always been eager to help others succeed," said Brock. "She has a servant's heart, a gift for hospitality and a love for college students. She will be missed."
"Cedarville has always had a stellar reputation, especially in library circles," said Funtik. "I have appreciated the strong integration of faith and learning and opportunity to encourage the next generation."
Located in southwest Ohio, Cedarville University is an accredited, Christ-centered, Baptist institution with an enrollment of 3,760 undergraduate, graduate, and online students in more than 100 areas of study. Founded in 1887, Cedarville is recognized nationally for its authentic Christian community, rigorous academic programs, strong graduation and retention rates, accredited professional and health science offerings, and leading student satisfaction ratings.

Being charged with a violent crime can be extremely frightening and is often overwhelming. The potential impact to your life can be severe and the uncertainty of the situation can be very stressful and confusing. Assault or aggravated assault charges, in particular, can be particularly challenging as many do not fully understand the implications or even what exactly such charges include. When you have been charged with assault or a related offense, the team at the Davi Law Group is ready and willing to advocate on your behalf and help you navigate a difficult situation.
Under Illinois law, assault is defined as unlawful conduct that places another person "in reasonable apprehension" of physical harm or contact of an insulting or provoking nature. The act of causing harm or actually making such contact constitutes battery, which is often charged in conjunction in assault. In most cases, simple assault is charged as a Class C misdemeanor, potentially carrying penalties of a prison sentence, probation, and substantial fines.
The intentional concealment of the alleged perpetrator's identity by means of a hood or mask.
Depending upon the circumstances of the case, charges for aggravated assault may be as severe as a Class 3 felony, with potential penalties including up to five years in prison and fines of up to $25,000.
As with any criminal charges, defending formal allegations of assault or aggravated assault begins with a comprehensive investigation of the case. When you call the Davi Law Group, our experienced attorneys will go right to work in assembling the relevant details. We will review all evidence and police reports, uncover available information, and interview witnesses when necessary to fully understand the nature of the situation. Our team will also ensure that all procedures have been properly followed and that your rights have not been violated.

Emerson families take lead in Westerville's food-waste composting
MARLA K. KUHLMAN THISWEEKNEWS.COM @ThisWeekMarla
The city of Westerville's new food-waste composting program is off to a good start, with some help from Emerson Elementary School students.
Kevin Weaver, Westerville's director of public service, said the goal is to compost 10 tons of food waste during the program's first year, and he hopes to get well past that with Emerson families getting it going.
Colleen Moidu, executive director of the Westerville Education Foundation and the mother of Leo Moidu, was among the first to participate in the program by dropping off 9 pounds of food waste March 9.
She said 47.7 pounds of food waste came from just four Emerson families in the first week of the program.
"If the students and families match this for the next 42 weeks, they will exceed their goal of one ton," she said. "They also have six other families committed and expect many more to join over the coming months."
Through the program, residents can place compostable food items in marked 64-gallon receptacles at city facilities at 350 Park Meadow Road and 469 Westdale Ave., 24 hours a day, seven days a week, Weaver said.
The containers will be serviced weekly by Springfield-based GoZERO Services.
The program is made possible by a grant of up to $9,240 (the maximum reimbursable amount), or up to 75% from the Solid Waste Authority of Ohio's Community Waste Reduction Grant program, Weaver said.
He said the city distributed 43 of 300 buckets for food waste in the first week.
The program is offered for free to residents.
Participants also may use their own containers to collect food waste.
Residents who want a bucket from the city may call 614-901-6740 or email publicservice@westerville.org.
"We were pleased at the number of people who stopped to pick up a bucket," Weaver said. "Where we got started was looking at Upper Arlington. They have a program."
Leo Moidu and Max Crites, another Emerson student, started talking about launching a school environmental club over the holidays.
They met with their principal Chris Poynter on Feb. 7 and had their first club meeting March 3, the day after the city announced the new composting program.
"Both students had been inspired to fund raise for environmental causes over the last year," Colleen Moidu said. "In fact, both requested donations to environmental organization instead of presents for their birthdays this past year."
The goal of the seven-member club is to engage the Emerson community, both at home and school, to divert 1,000 pounds of food waste from landfills by Dec. 31.
Poynter said he is a big fan of student-led clubs and extracurricular activities.
"The environmental club, spearheaded by Leo and Max, exhibits the type of 'think global, act local' mindset we grow at Emerson," he said. "This club builds awareness within our school about the values of composting while aligning with a community initiative of composting 10 tons of waste in a year. Max and Leo are passionate, creative and have big ideas. It will be a lot of fun watching their leadership evolve this club over time."
Max said food and fresh water are running out, sea levels are rising and forests are disappearing.
"We know this because of the science behind it all," he said. "There are little things we can do today to help our tomorrow. I want to be a part of making a change."
Leo said many students care about the environment.
"Life has existed on our planet for billions of years," he said. "The damage humans have done in the last 100 years is so terrible. It's OK to make mistakes, but we need to fix them now before it is too late."
Westerville Vice Mayor Valerie Cumming said she is proud Westerville has moved ahead with a communitywide composting program, and she is excited for all residents, particularly students and young people, to get involved.
"It's an easy, effective way for even our youngest community members to take part in sustainability measures that will make a real difference in the long run," she said.

Italy to withdraw troops from Iraq
Italy will start to withdraw its troops from Iraq this September, Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi has said, and more British troops may be deployed to fill the gap.
Italy has the fourth-largest foreign contingent in Iraq
"We will begin to reduce our contingent even before the end of the year, starting in September, in agreement with our allies," he said in an interview on state television RAI on Tuesday.
Italy has 3000 soldiers in Iraq, the fourth-largest foreign contingent after the United States, Britain and South Korea.
The announcement comes close on the heels of the release of kidnapped Italian journalist Giuliana Sgrena in Iraq on 4 March.
The release turned bloody after firing by US troops under controversial circumstances on the Italian entourage transporting Sgrena to safety.
Italian secret service agent Nicola Calipari was killed in the firing and Sgrena was injured.

The incident provoked widespread anger in Italy, with the government registering an official protest with Washington.
Berlusconi, considered Washington's closest ally in Europe, personally expressed anguish over the incident.
US President George Bush apologised for the shooting and instituted an inquiry.
But the resentment among Italians has not subsided.
US response
Asked by reporters to comment on Italy's plan to reduce its force in Iraq, US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, on a visit to India, said she was certain any decision by Italy would be made in consultation with its allies.
She also praised Italy for its participation in Iraq.
"The real answer to Iraqi security will be when Iraqis can do those security tasks," she added.
British troops
The gap left by the Italians probably will be filled by British troops, more of whom will likely be deployed to Iraq, a British military expert said late on Tuesday.
Charles Heyman, a senior defence analyst for Jane's Information Group, was quoted by Britain's Press Association news agency as saying it would cost tens of millions of pounds for Britain to supply the additional troops for six months.
About 8000 British troops are in Iraq

A large number of the Italians are under British command in the southern half of Iraq, and finding replacements will be as much a problem for the British as it is for the US, he was quoted as saying.
Many of the Italian troops are based in the town of Nasiriya within the Multi-National Division South East, which is headed by British forces but have personnel from other nations under their command.
Heyman said: "It's going to leave a big hole, there's no doubt about that. My gut feeling is that it's going to be hard to find a contingent to replace them.
"I think it's almost impossible for the Americans to produce another 3000 extra troops.
"We're probably going to be asked to help to fill the gap."
At present, there are about 8000 British troops in total in Iraq.
Japanese troops
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi said on Wednesday that Japan's deployment of 550 troops in Iraq would not be affected by Italy's withdrawal of troops.
"Italy is Italy, Japan is Japan"
Junichiro Koizumi,
Japanese prime minister
"Italy is Italy, Japan is Japan," Koizumi said when asked if the prospect of a pullout by Rome could lead to a similar move by Tokyo.
Japan has been a vocal supporter of the US-led military mission in Iraq and its contingent is based in the southern city of Samawa on a humanitarian operation in support of reconstruction.
More withdrawals
The Netherlands and Ukraine have already begun a gradual withdrawal of their troops from the US-led coalition in Iraq.
About 150 Ukrainian soldiers were to fly home on Tuesday and about the same number of Dutch arrived home in Eindhoven on Monday.
About 800 Dutch soldiers remain in the southern Iraqi province of Muthanna and will return in batches over the next month.
Ukraine has about 1600 troops stationed southeast of Baghdad, whose phased withdrawal will be complete by 15 October.
Two Dutch soldiers were killed in Iraq, while Ukraine has lost 17 troops.

Fly Tipper prosecuted by council
Mariette-JB2017-10-08T16:11:46+01:001st June 2017|B&NES|
Bath & North East Somerset Council has prosecuted a fly tipper after catching him in the act on CCTV.
Morgan Lawrence, 47 of Newland Road, Withywood, Bristol, appeared at Bath Magistrates' Court on Wednesday 24 May 2017 and pleaded guilty to offences under environmental protection legislation.
The court heard that on 16 May 2016, Mr Lawrence was recorded on CCTV dumping waste from his van in East Dundry Road, Bath and North East Somerset. The waste included numerous car bumper parts, a car tyre, toys and miscellaneous items.
A Council investigation revealed that Mr Lawrence was running an unauthorised waste collection and disposal business advertised on social media. As a result Mr Lawrence was convicted of the unauthorised disposal of waste commonly known as fly tipping and failure to discharge his duty of care to ensure his waste is transferred to an authorised person.
Mr Lawrence's defence stated that whilst his conduct appeared "deliberate, lazy and that he had been after a quick buck", he had not fly tipped before or since.
The court sentenced Mr Lawrence to a 12 month Community Order with 140 hours of unpaid work and ordered him to pay the clean-up costs of £139, prosecution costs of £450 and the victim surcharge of £85.
Martin Shields, Bath & North East Somerset Council's Divisional Director for Environmental Services, said: "This prosecution sends out a very strong and clear warning message to anyone considering fly tipping in the area that this activity will not be tolerated. Bath & North East Somerset Council has CCTV monitoring at various locations and will not hesitate to bring these offenders to justice."

Commentaires

Ce film est à nouveau basé sur un scénario original. Les romans de Leslie Charteris ne semblent plus convenir aux studios RKO alors que l'écrivain multiplie les parutions.

Les critiques de l'époque du New York Times qualifient le film de mélange entre comédie et mystère, et reprochent à l'intrigue d'être de reprendre à la fois des éléments de l'intrigue de The Saint in New York et de The Saint Strikes Back sans réellement innover. Le film a la particularité de voir Le Saint venir en aide de l'inspecteur Fernack et l'innocenter d'un vol et d'un meurtre. Passé cet élément de surprise, l'histoire est très conventionnelle.

Wendy Barrie, dans un rôle différent, revient après avoir joué Valérie Travers dans The Saint Strikes Back. Sans surprise, Jonathan Hale est de retour dans le rôle de l'inspecteur Fernack, ennemi du Saint auquel il devra cette-fois son salut. Il a été noté par la critique que Jonathan Hale volait la vedette à George Sanders. Le film est sorti seulement quelques mois après le précédent. RKO cherche à exploiter le filon, et l'on peut comprendre que l'auteur Leslie Charteris après coup se soit montré frustré et réticent à accorder les droits pour de nouvelles adaptations.

New microbrewery moves in while police station moves out

Williamston Post staff writer
As the Williamston Police Department moves into City Hall, a new microbrewery finds its way downtown producing in-house beer and locally grown ingredients while generating 25 jobs.
Located on Grand River Avenue in the heart of Williamston, several additions and renovations can be expected for the microbrewery. Alan Dolley, Williamston's city manager, was approached approximately a year and a half ago by developers regarding a new bar to be put in the where the current police station is. Plans went into action setting up property lines and performing environmental testing with expected construction to begin in early April for the restaurant, along with a new building for the police department.
With more and more restaurants and artisan shops opening in and around Williamston, Dolley foresees the town migrating toward a more artistic atmosphere.
"….it certainly has been the talk of the town, as there is a larger population geared towards the arts with our two dance studios, a theater and glass working factory all drawing people into the city" Dolley said. Dolley, along with the Williamston Police Department show no concern with a second brewery in town.
Jeff Hull, Williamston Police Sgt., has dedicated 34 years to the service and is excited to be moving downtown in a new building.
"It is definitely going to be better to be downtown. It's more convenient for the people to walk to," Hull said. The police department will temporarily be located in City Hall until their facility is completed in late June.
With minor details finishing up, developer and Detroit Brewing Company representative Travis Fritts plans to open the establishment in the fall. According to Fritts, landscaping, indoor renovations and minor construction are going into action come March.
Going for a rural, midwestern farm environment, the decor will help customers feel relaxed while they watch most of the 15-20 beers on tap being made in-house. The facility hosts a system that brews craft beer on location. Several others will be brewed off site in a production studio outside of Lansing by the Detroit Brewing Company.
With patio seating in the summer, Fritts is eager to get his menu out to promote the homemade beer and fresh food filled with proteins purchased from local producers.
Although no name can be confirmed for the restaurant, keep an eye open at 1500 W. Grand River Ave. for updates.

La Niña to Intensify U.S. Drought This Winter, NOAA Predicts
Jordan Davidson
Oct 16, 2020 3:28AM EDT Climate
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) predicted a mild winter for most of the U.S. Thursday, forecasting that the drought that now covers nearly half the country will get worse, according to The New York Times.
NOAA's Climate Prediction Center released its winter outlook for 2020-2021 Thursday and predicted that much of the South and Southwest will remain dry this winter, while areas in the Pacific Northwest and the Upper Plains will have the opposite problem — they will have a wetter than average winter, as CNN reported.
That means that the current drought that blankets just under 47 percent of the continental U.S. will only get worse during the months that usually bring relief. The country is currently in its most widespread drought since 2013.
NOAA's prediction model said that this year's La Niña will drive warmer and drier weather through the southern part of the country this winter. This zone includes areas where wildfires are currently burning, like Southern California and Colorado.
"With La Niña well established and expected to persist through the upcoming 2020 winter season, we anticipate the typical, cooler, wetter North, and warmer, drier South, as the most likely outcome of winter weather that the U.S. will experience this year," said Mike Halpert, deputy director of NOAA's Climate Prediction Center, in a news release, as The Washington Post reported.
The model splits the lower 48 states into three stripes. One massive stripe runs coast-to-coast from Southern California to North Carolina. It will see a dry winter. A band that encompasses Oregon and Washington and runs along the northern part of the country to Michigan will see a wet winter. The rest of the country will see fairly normal conditions, as the AP reported.
Halpert added in a call with reporters that La Ninas, which are periodic cooling of waters in the tropical regions of the Pacific Ocean, usually reduce the odds of large snowstorms on the East Coast. However, the model cannot predict extreme events months ahead of time, according to the AP.
The climate prediction model is also forecasting above average temperatures for much of the country, with the largest spikes above the average in southern Texas. However, each month may see fluctuations that differ from the overall trend toward warming, as The Weather Channel reported.
"The typical La Niña response is for warm November, cold December, and warm January/February; however, January and February can have significant volatility depending on if high-latitude blocking occurs," said Todd Crawford, chief meteorologist at The Weather Company, as The Weather Channel reported. High-latitude blocking stymies the flow of La Niña from west to east and allows cold air from the Arctic to make its way south.
Studies show that the Southwest, which has been in a drought for the past two decades, is in the grips of its worst megadrought in 1,200 years, as EcoWatch reported.
Halpert said the high likelihood of a worsening drought in the region this winter is directly linked to La Niña, which started in August and is expected to continue through December, as The New York Times reported.
Halpert also emphasized that the prediction is based on mathematical models and that sometimes the impacts of La Niña and El Niño systems do not play out.

Water Pistols Against Police Submachine Guns — The Reykjavik Grapevine
Water Pistols Against Police Submachine Guns
Demonstration at Police Headquarters on Friday - one arrested
Haukur Már Helgason
@haukurmar
Art Bicnick
Friday saw a demonstration at the Reykjavik Police Headquarters at Hlemmur. People gathered to protest the armorization of the Icelandic Police. Last week, news broke out that police forces had acquired 250 MP5 submachine guns, among other weapons, from the Norwegian army. The demonstration was organized by a group formed under the banner "Return the guns to Norway". Demonstrators gathered with a colorful arsenal of water pistols. After playing around with the weapons, the protesters demolished them. According to mbl.is, one demonstrator was arrested.
The figure originally reported proved to be imprecise: the Coast Guard acquired the 250 submachine guns, whereof the police claims it will receive 150. It remains ambiguous whether the weapons were bought or received as a present from Norway. Regardless, according to known figures, the 150 submachine guns almost quadruple the number of such weapons in the hands of Police. Until now, such weapons have only been available to SWAT-teams, whereas the recently acquired weapons are supposed to be at the disposal of all departments. Spokesmen of the Police have said it is up the police authorities in each jurisdiction to decide if the guns will be carried in police cars or kept at stations.
As many locals have perceived the Police somewhat as they like to present themselves internationally, through social media, that is as mainly amiable and somewhat cute, this acquisition of heavy arms has come as something of a shock. It is not yet clear whether Iceland or Norway initiated the exchange. Police authorities and the conservative right have tried to downplay the news, claiming that the Police has always had access to such weapons and that fundamentally nothing is changed by this addition. Chief Superintendent Jon Bjartmarz has spoken on behalf of the police. In RÚV's Kastljós, he explained that the police forces have had submachine guns "ever since after the Gutto-fight" which took place in 1932, when Police clashed with workers in a struggle over workers' wages.

Canadian Coaches Killing It
By Jason Logan Created: July 4, 2017
LOGAN'S ALLEY
Comments Comments Share on TwitterShare Share on FacebookShare
Last weekend's KPMG Women's PGA Championship was thrilling theatre. First, there was Danielle Kang's four-birdie stretch to pull away from defending champion Brooke Henderson (or so we thought), then Henderson's birdie-birdie finish to close the gap and take a share of the lead, and finally Kang's rock-solid three-wood on the par-5 final hole to set up a winning four. Not only was the play down the stretch fantastic, but so too was observing the drastically different ways both Henderson and Kang dealt with the pressure — the ever-competitive Henderson intense and grinding to the finish without her best stuff and Kang smiling and genuinely enjoying the stage the entire way around. It was one of those majors where the outcome would have been appropriate regardless of the winner ×× With The Greenbrier Classic on tap this week we are reminded of two things: One, this is the date the RBC Canadian Open desperately wanted years ago and should have been given before Greenbrier Resort owner Jim Justice swooped in and made the PGA Tour an offer it couldn't refuse. Two, the last time this tournament was held (in 2015, as it was cancelled last year due to massive flooding in the area) David Hearn twice had putts to win his first tour title, but ultimately lost in a playoff to Danny Lee ×× Hearn, Graham DeLaet, Brad Fritsch, Mackenzie Hughes and Nick Taylor are in the field this week, along with Cambridge, Ont.'s Ryan Zylstra, now a native of Richmond, Va., who Monday qualified for the event. Mostly a mini-tour player in the U.S., Zylstra also Monday qualified for The Greenbrier in 2013 ×× Love last week's news from the PGA of Canada, which together with new PGA Women's Championship of Canada title sponsor DATA Communications Management, will provide funding and help for a squad of Canadian female professionals, similar to Freedom 55 Financial's Team Freedom. It's always nice to see new money coming into the game ×× Another reminder that the RBC Canadian Open 5k charity fun run is again taking place this year at Glen Abbey GC on the Saturday (July 22) before tournament week. Participants get a single any-day ticket to the Canadian Open and post-race runners can watch the third round of the Open Championship on the big screen in the beer gardens. All information is here.
The Rock GC in Ontario's Muskoka region is hosting this week's Ontario Junior Boys championship. Still not sure why one of the most difficult layouts in the country — it's borderline absurd in spots in my opinion — gets selected to host junior events. When the Future Links Tour played its Ontario Championship there in 2014 only the winner produced a three-round total under par, at one under, and last place among those who finished was 51 over ×× It sure seems like Bernhard Langer is bending the rules with his putting technique, and because he constantly gets away with it I just figured this was the PGA Tour's way of saying, 'Yeah we felt compelled to adopt the USGA and R&A ban on anchoring, but we weren't real keen about it so our enforcement is going to be rather lax.' But then that wouldn't explain Langer not getting penalized at last week's U.S. Senior Open, run by the USGA, would it? I never liked the rule in the first place, but basing the wording of it on "intent" has proven disastrous ×× Regarding Stephen Curry's sponsor's exemption into a Web.com Tour event in August: I've got no problem with a tournament doling out one spot in an effort to sell tickets, and to those who argue Curry is "taking away a spot," yes he is, but if a title sponsor is struggling to find value in an event, and therefore might pull the plug on it if it can't attract more eyeballs, that would be taking away 156 spots, not just one. What's the greater evil? ×× My colleague Rick Young has a nice synopsis of what's going on with the golf course at New Brunswick's historic Algonquin Resort here. With Young and others on last week's trip, I can attest, without hyperbole, that the four-hole stretch of holes 10 through 13 will be one of the best in Canada when Rod Whitman and Keith Cutten are finished their work. The question is whether the pair can do enough with the rest of the course — the front nine especially — to nicely complement those highlight holes. Hopefully they're given nothing but green lights by owners Southwest Properties and New Castle Hotels & Resorts, and having spent time with the decision-makers at Southwest, I certainly got the feeling they realize how special the golf course could be.
Here's an interesting ledger worth keeping track of moving forward: The number of players coached by Canadians who've won on the PGA and LPGA tours this year. I was reminded of this because last week's Quicken Loans champion, Kyle Stanley, is coached by Canadian Ralph Bauer. Bauer also coaches Adam Hadwin, who won earlier this year at the Transitions Championship. Sean Foley's latest prized pupil is Si Woo Kim, The Players champion, and Daniel Berger's title defence at the FedEx St. Jude Classic the week before the U.S. Open meant another win for Jeff Leishman, a Canadian who has long been based in Florida and also works with David Hearn. D.A. Points got back into the winner's circle in Puerto Rico with the help of Canadian Tyler McGhie, a former college teammate of Dustin Johnson's, and now the main man at MMG Performance. Then there was Mackenzie Hughes' win in November at the RSM Classic. He works with two Canadian coaches — longtime instructor Scott Cowx and Team Canada national men's team leader Derek Ingram. So that's six Canadian coaches who can claim PGA Tour winners as students this year. Over on the LPGA Tour, there might not be a coach anywhere with a bigger network of players than short-game specialist Gareth Raflewski, the Irish-born Canuck who's lived in London, Ont., for many years. Raflewski works with Manulife LPGA Classic winner Ariya Jutanugarn, and her sister Moriya, but recently hooked up with former World No. 1 Lydia Ko. His stable numbers 12 in total. Then, of course, there is Brooke Henderson, now coached solely by her father Dave, but who previously honed her game under Team Canada women's coach Tristan Mullally, who's also been instrumental in turning Alena Sharp's game around and keeps a close eye on Augusta James, Jennifer Ha and Anne-Catherine Tanguay. Pretty impressive stuff from an impressive group.
Obscure thought of the week: Thumbs up to pubs/bars that still pin the newspaper sports section up above their bathroom urinals.

Throughout the residency she worked closely with the residents of Stoneyholme and Daneshouse, communities that live alongside the Leeds & Liverpool Canal and grew in the 1960s as a direct result of the employment that was created through the local textile mills sited near the canals.
After talking to lots of different people and hearing personal anecdotes of home over the past eight months, Laura decided to send some of the lovely stories back to the canal by creating 52 hanging flags, one for each year the Jinnah centre had been open.
"Flags are a political symbol, it's one of the ways countries claim land, by planting their flag in the soil. These flags are a way for this community to say 'this is our home and these are our stories" – Laura Jamieson.

Women In God's Mission
By Woodrow E. Walton | January 13, 2019
Women in God's Mission, from cover to cover, is a descriptive narrative which very closely follows Lederleitner's own life-long experience in missionary leadership. Lederleitner also shares the thoughts and stories of women born and reared in approximately thirty countries from around the world. They are presently "serving and leading in many types of ministry," which Lederleitner describes as "influencing others towards God's purpose in the world."

Policy Address | 2 billion to help universities hire research teams, science and technology enterprises: worry about absorbing company talents and increasing costs
The Chief Executive Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor recently issued a policy address, suggesting that in the "Shenzhen-Hong Kong Science and Technology Innovation Cooperation Zone" co-operated by the governments of Hong Kong and Shenzhen, the Hong Kong Science and Technology Park Corporation would rent the Shenzhen Futian Science and Technology Park Department before the opening of the cooperation zone.
Written by: Chen Jiahui
Last update date: 2020-11-27 08:30
Chief Executive Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor recently issued a policy address, suggesting that the "Shenzhen-Hong Kong Science and Technology Innovation Cooperation Zone" co-operated by the governments of Hong Kong and Shenzhen, before the opening of the cooperation zone, the Hong Kong Science and Technology Park Corporation will rent part of the Shenzhen Futian Science and Technology Park for Hong Kong. Science and technology enterprises settle down as soon as possible.
However, in terms of local support, apart from spending 2 billion yuan for universities to attract overseas innovation and technology teams, there are not many new measures.
Li Zhiwei, the chairman of the local technology enterprise group "Kopei Network", said that the technology park company has more experience in managing innovation and technology parks, which makes people more confident. At the same time, he hopes that the park can provide assistance to science and technology enterprises that are not familiar with the mainland situation and simplify the procedures for starting companies. .
As for talents in innovation and technology, he believes that the government can also attract mid-stream professionals in addition to attracting upstream talents to join local universities, otherwise it may attract talents from companies.
▼Eight Key Points of Policy Address 2020▼
Li Zhiwei said that he noticed that Shenzhen itself has large and small incubators, each with a focus on industries, but the supporting facilities may not be sufficient.
The Science Park Company has more experience in the management of innovation parks, which can give people confidence.
He also pointed out that many companies that want to explore the Greater Bay Area market will be discouraged by the differences in the systems of the two places. For example, when setting up a company in the Mainland, it will be difficult to obtain documents and stamps from different government departments at first.
He hopes that the park can assist science and technology enterprises that are not familiar with the situation in the Mainland to solve such substantive problems.

It has been pointed out that the innovation and technology policy in this year's policy address is too focused on Shenzhen. Li Zhiwei believes that entrepreneurs are generally willing to open up new markets depending on their business.
He took the company that provides AI object recognition services as an example. Its business includes counting the flow of people in shopping malls. The local market has only hundreds of malls at most. In contrast, the mainland will be a larger market.
He believes that if you want to obtain projects or financing from the mainland market, settle in the mainland can facilitate the negotiation process, because it is difficult to negotiate business in remote or video conferences. He also cited the case of discussing projects with mainland real estate groups before the epidemic, but due to the epidemic There is no way to interview and it is difficult to advance.
2 billion to help universities hire scientific research teams, science and technology enterprises worry about absorbing the company's talents
The policy address also proposed to spend 2 billion yuan to launch the five-year "Outstanding Innovative Talents Program" for local universities to hire overseas scientific research teams.
Li Zhiwei believes that the plan can attract more innovation and technology talents to Hong Kong in the long run. However, he pointed out that industry professionals are also in short supply. He suggests that the government introduce policies to help the industry attract needed professionals to join the "big pie", otherwise It may "absorb the talents of the company" or even increase labor costs, causing innovation and technology companies to move to other places to find talents.
