Until the early 1950s, the block was fairly unknown. The original plantings had consisted of Scotch broom and other shrubbery. Then, Peter Bercut (who lived on the block) planted hydrangeas in the median of the street. During a trip to Europe, he had seen them blooming on a hillside in France. A few years later, a photograph showing the hydrangeas in bloom along Lombard was published in a local newspaper, and in 1961, it was printed on a postcard. Some 300,000 copies were sold that year. Soon, thousands of tourists were driving down the street.
The block has changed greatly over the years. Many families lived here before World War II. In those days, neighborhood children enjoyed roller-skating down the quiet street. Most families moved in subsequent decades, beginning with the post-war flight to the suburbs. Soaring real estate prices also drove out many residents. Today, the population is composed largely of two-income couples without children, and the street has become a magnet for skateboarders and "chicken" races, as well as tourists.
By 1970, many neighborhood residents were weary of the traffic and circulated a petition to close the block. Others felt the street should belong to the people. So far, the city has continued to resist all efforts to close the street.

Q: .NET how to fudge the HttpContext object for a unit test I am trying to add a value to the HttpApplicationState object, which is the Application property of the HttpContext.Current class. I try with the following code
        TextWriter tw = new StringWriter();
        HttpWorkerRequest wr = new SimpleWorkerRequest("/webapp", @"path...", "logon.asp", "", tw);

        HttpContext.Current = new HttpContext(wr);

        //I try the following 2 lines
        HttpContext.Current.Application["KeyValue"] = "myValue";
        HttpContext.Current.Application.Add("KeyValue", "myValue");

        var count = HttpContext.Current.Application.Count;
        var get1 = HttpContext.Current.Application["KeyValue"];
        var get2 = HttpContext.Current.Application.Get("KeyValue");

But HttpContext.Current.Application.Count is always zero. The values do not get
What am I doing wrong?

A: Depending on the version of .NET you're targeting you might want to look into HttpContextBase and HttpContextWrapper. HttpContextBase is abstract so mocking frameworks like moq will allow you to assign its properties anyway you choose.

Once a monument has been chosen and deposit paid we will prepare a proof to be approved by you and your family. This is a scale replica of the headstone and will incorporate the inscription, the size of the photoceramic and any design traceries like roses and crosses. The main reason we create proofs is for clients to check all spelling and dates, as after the monument is engraved it cannot be changed. To raise a proof, is a highly skilled and one of the most important parts of the process, that takes considerable time to set everything out. This is to ensure the engraved, completed memorial is going to be kept to the standard we uphold, and within the limitations that can be engraved into granite.
Minimising the number of proofs we make keeps your costs down. We are always happy to alter and supply 2 or 3 proofs at no additional charge until you are completely satisfied with the how your loved one's monument will look. After 2 or 3 proofs, there could be an additional charge for subsequent changes – this is why we encourage you to provide us with ALL the correct information before we start. Only after your confirmation is it placed in our system to complete.
We have a huge library of Artwork and designs and regularly create new designs from what families supply. Please discuss with us what you have in mind so we can create a unique personal monument for your loved one.


A lush oasis just south of Foster on SE 122nd, the historic Manor House and grounds of Leach Botanical Garden lie in a hollow carved out by Johnson Creek. In 1931 John and Lilla Leach purchased five acres along Johnson Creek and named it "Sleepy Hollow". Here they built their home and devoted themselves to their love for plants. The original Leach collection, which includes Kalmiopsis leachiana – one of five plant species discovered by botanist Lilla Leach, forms the core of the now 16+ acre botanic garden. Leach Botanical Garden, a model of sustainable and natural landscaping, is dedicated to the conservation of and education about northwest native plants. David Porter, Director of the Leach Botanical Garden will talk about the lives of John and Lilla Leach and the importance of this beautiful garden to gardeners everywhere.

Companies are permanently assessing the cost structure and looking for cost reduction opportunities. Often, challenging targets are set for company's departments, locations or business units. Such a fragmented approach often results in sub-optimal and temporary cost savings.
If not approached in a multi-disciplinary way, a cost reduction exercise for packaging material that is based on decreasing the purchase spend, might result in a higher number of quality problems or additional handling costs. Overlooking the consequences of certain actions is regularly the cause for reversing the initiative.
At Deloitte we believe that cost reduction is not a quick fix solution to a short term problem. Firms must take a broader view of the organization to put aside internal barriers and restrictions to ensure reductions made drive performance improvement and generate shareholder value now and in the long run. Rather than simply seeking savings by function, transformational cost reduction requires every element of the business to be reviewed and challenged, leaving no stone unturned.
At Deloitte, our capacity to deliver across the full scope of cost reduction programs - from strategy to execution – sets us apart and we have an established a reputation for designing and implementing cost savings that deliver sustainable result for our clients.

3 DESUMA Resources
3.1 Tutorial
3.2 DESUMA Software Download
4.1 UMDES Resource
The Discrete Event System, University of Michigan and Mount Allison University, or DESUMA, is a software and educational tool used to build, analyze and control models of Discrete Event Systems (DES) as finite-state automata (FSA). It consists of the integration between the UMDES library (a set of commands for DES operations), developed at the University of Michigan under Prof. Stephane Lafortune, and the graphical environment for visualizing discrete event systems, called GIDDES (Graphical Interface for the Design of Discrete Event Systems), developed at Mount Allison University under Prof. Laurie Ricker. DESUMA allows the user to perform a variety of manipulations of discrete event systems modeled by FSA related to model-building, fault diagnosis, verification, control under full and partial observation, and decentralized control.
Continuous development of DESUMA is a joint effort between Mount Allison University (Prof. Ricker and her colleagues) and University of Michigan (Prof. Lafortune and his colleagues).
Note: UMDES commands are embedded within the DESUMA software. However, running commands from the command line is also possible. See UMDES section for more.
DESUMA2 is the latest software version made public in 2013. Notable changes from the previous DESUMA version include the FSA layout being done using J-Graph instead of GraphViz due to compatibility problems with the latest JAVA versions. Several GUI related enhancements were made, and known bugs in the underlying UMDES commands were fixed.

Click this link to download the latest and/or older versions of DESUMA
Visit DESUMA Installation Instructions for proper step by step procedures of installation.
UMDES is a library of routines, written in C, for creating and manipulating discrete event systems modeled as FSA. In particular, many of the algorithms for the theory of supervisory control and from the theory of diagnosability of DES are implemented in UMDES. While the main commands in UMDES are embedded within DESUMA, users are still able to run these commands from the command line. For this reason, compiled UMDES commands are available for download.
Note: A slight source of confusion is that the names of the UMDES executables do not always exactly match the names of the same commands in DESUMA and DESUMA2 menus for UMDES.

This Exploration takes you through some of the most remote areas of the fascinating land of Namibia; areas which have been rarely explored by others, making this a journey of discovery.
Exceptionally diverse variety of transfers and experiences showcase the endless landscapes and places of interest, including day and night nature drives, sea- and land-based wildlife viewing, flying, driving, and boating.
Distinctive activities include climbing some of the world's tallest dunes, rhino tracking, a motorboat lagoon trip at Walvis Bay and viewing shipwreck remains along the dramatic coastline.
You will be met by your Explorations guide and begin your journey by driving through the Khomas Hochland mountains and down into the dune-filled Sossusvlei region, a driving time of approximately five to six hours (330 kilometres / 205 miles). En route, we enjoy a lunch.
As the perfect gateway to the impressive sights of Sossusvlei, Kulala Desert Lodge is a favourite among Wilderness travellers. Magnificent views of dunes, mountains and vast open plains will be the setting of your stay. The camp comprises 23 en-suite thatched and canvas 'kulalas' each with a veranda for you to enjoy the outstanding scenery. On balmy nights, sleep under the clear night skies on your rooftop and awaken to the rising sun. By day, enjoy our activities or spot desert-adapted wildlife from our lounge and dining area overlooking a waterhole. To escape the midday heat a cooling plunge pool provides the ideal sanctuary.
Kulala Desert Lodge is in the private Kulala Wilderness Reserve, the result of a rehabilitation project by Wilderness Safaris that aimed to return this land, previously used for farming, to its former natural aspect.
Sossusvlei is situated within the Namib Desert, the oldest desert in the world, characterised by huge dunes and flat valley floors.
To showcase this vast and impressive landscape, we offer nature drives, walking, quad biking, horse riding and ballooning (last three at extra cost).
You can witness sparsely distributed desert-adapted wildlife such as ostrich, springbok, oryx, spotted and brown hyaena, and bat-eared fox.
One of the many fascinating bird species, the dune lark, has its entire global distribution limited to the area.
This morning we transfer by light aircraft to Swakopmund Airport. Discover the town of Swakopmund and bed down in the historic Hansa Hotel that forms part of city's architectural culture.
Boat Cruise On Day 4, we explore the ice-blue Atlantic coast on a boat cruise (weather permitting) as well as the imposing Sandwich Harbour dune fields by 4×4. The adventure is rounded off with a private seafood lunch before driving back to Walvis Bay.
Namibia's oldest hotel, and consistently one of the best, the Hansa has retained its 100-year-old charm while providing present-day service and comfort. Our bedrooms are spacious and tastefully appointed, with a blend of modern luxury and antique décor. Interesting photographs from the past adorn the walls along the carpeted passages. Although we are located in the centre of town giving you access to most of the local amenities, even our street-facing bedrooms are surprisingly quiet. A short walk will bring you to the heated Olympic-sized indoor public swimming pool, the museum, lighthouse and Kristall Galerie, as well as several good restaurants if you wish to try an alternative to the Hansa's tasty fare.
We have 48 twin/double rooms, 6 family units and 3 luxury suites and an executive suite, each with an en-suite bathroom with separate bath and shower, tea and coffee facilities, bottled mineral water, a 15-channel television, underfloor heating, a safe, bathrobes, a telephone and internet connection.
All suites and some rooms have air-conditioning.
Breakfast and an à la carte dinner are served in our dining room.
You can have lunch al fresco on our terrace overlooking the inner garden.
Our rates include accommodation and Continental or English breakfast buffet and newspapers.
Included: Bed, breakfast and one dinner [excludes dinner on the second night].
Terrace Bay Lodge is situated in the Skeleton Coast National Park in north-west Namibia. As the only accommodation in the Park itself, Terrace Bay is a popular destination in a remote location. This rustic rest camp has 20 comfortable en-suite rooms and a family chalet, while the bar and restaurant are convivial areas in which to meet fellow guests and discuss the exciting day's happenings. This is also a destination for the angling crowd as the chances of catching a variety of fish here are amongst the best on Namibia's coastline. Please note that whilst accommodation is clean, functional and comfortable, it is not a luxury lodge comparable to Wilderness Safaris camps.
Terrace Bay is a fantastic point from which to explore the Uniab River Delta.
Walking along the beach to view the dramatic coastline is very popular activity.
Included: Dinner, bed and breakfast.
Kaokoveld is a land of rugged scenery, a historic coastline, vast plains, and dry riverbeds inhabited by a surprising amount of life.
Activities on offer include game drives and nature walks.
Rewarding sightings of desert-adapted elephant, Hartmann's mountain zebra, oryx, giraffe and springbok may be expected on game drives while coastal wildlife sightings might include the elusive brown hyaena and black-backed jackal.
Birdlife is equally exciting including endemics like bokmakierie.
The concession is a joint venture with the neighbouring Community-based Conservancies of Anabeb, Torra and Sesfontein.
At Desert Rhino Camp, you can take part in a thrilling and exclusive conservation success story. Tracking Africa's unique and endangered desert-adapted black rhino is an unforgettable experience. To set the scene, you will be shown into one of the eight en-suite Meru-style tents elevated off the ground. You can absorb the panoramic views over the rolling, rocky hills beyond from the privacy of your veranda. Full-day excursions are on offer; otherwise, between activities, relax in our tented living area. Evening meals are taken around the fire pit. As a wonderland of unusual plant life, fascinating wildlife and sparse wilderness, Desert Rhino Camp is begging to be explored.
We work closely with Save the Rhino Trust (SRT) which is almost singlehandedly responsible for the preservation of desert-adapted rhino in the area. A portion of guest revenue goes to SRT.
The impressive flat-topped Etendeka Mountains dominate the scenery. Dry river-courses like the Uniab River cut through the rocky landscape below, dotted with odd-shaped bottle tree, ancient leadwoods and unique welwitschias.
Tracking desert-adapted black rhino is the primary activity here, complemented by game drives, walks and relaxing in camp.
Other wildlife to be seen includes desert-adapted elephant, Hartmann's mountain zebra, giraffe, gemsbok and kudu as well as cheetah, leopard and spotted hyaena.
Birdlife is varied with endemics such as bokmakierie and Ruppell's korhaan.
We bid farewell to our adventure as we road transfer to the Doro Nawas Airstrip for return flight to Windhoek.
At extra cost, continue onwards to Serra Cafema, a luxury desert retreat on the Kunene River, or to Ongava Game Reserve and explore Etosha National Park.
Exclusive experience: Most areas in which we travel are private concessions, whilst at the lodges and hotels en route, as well as Wilderness Air light aircraft transfers we have the chance to meet other guests.
International air connection onto the safari: If arrival is planned for the day of the safari's departure, please ensure that this is with the earliest possible international flight arrival, before 07h00. Arrival on a later flight may necessitate additional road or air transfers (as the main group's departure for the first camp/lodge will already have taken place), subject to extra cost.
Please note that if the guest overnights in Windhoek on the night before the safari begins, they will be collected by the guide in the Explorations' vehicle from the hotel they stayed at. If they arrive by flight on the day the safari commences, they will be collected from the airport.
International air connections leaving the safari: Please ensure that your departure flight is booked for after 16h00 from Windhoek. For earlier international departure flights, an additional transfer will be required to arrive for this connection, subject to extra cost.
Routes: To maximise guests' travel time, a variety of travel modes that bring out the best of each area is used: flying in light aircraft charters and overland transfers provide both a bird's-eye view and an in-depth experience of the contrasting landscapes of Namibia.
Flashlights/ torches: Please ensure that a compact LED flashlight is brought on safari, with spare batteries. Head lamps are also useful. Wilderness Explorations does not supply flashlights.
Camera battery charging facilities: 110/ 220V outlets are available at the permanent lodges/hotels.
Dietary requirements and special occasions: Due to remote locality of these camps, please ensure that full dietary requirements and special occasions are advised at the time of your booking confirmation.

Counterpoint Research: iPhone 12 shipments exceed the 100 million milestone in 7 months
It has been nearly seven years since Apple launched the record-breaking iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. Only now has the company''s iPhone 12 series reached a new shipment milestone, tying the achievements of the first two models. According to the latest data, Apple''s flagship mobile phone products have shipped more than 100 million units worldwide in just seven months, which is equivalent to the record held many years ago.
The latest data from Counterpoint Research emphasizes that various exclusive upgrades belonging to the iPhone 12 series, including 5G, have brought its popularity. The study also shows that the average selling price of Apple''s iPhone is at a historically high level, indicating that the iPhone 12 series'' shipment super-cycle will also trigger a revenue super-cycle that the company is expected to break every year.
The most significant selling point of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus is the larger display. The selling points of the iPhone 12 series are more diverse: 5G capacity, better performance, more power-efficient chipsets, larger screens, improved cameras, and more. Weigh the pros and cons, including the lack of chargers and headphones, but looking at the shipment record of 100 million units, it seems that these are not detracting factors.
Counterpoint Research also said that customer preferences have changed during the release of the iPhone 11 and iPhone 12 series. Among the latest products, the largest model iPhone 12 Pro Max is the first choice. It has accumulated a 29% market share, while the iPhone 11 Pro Max has a 25% market share. Since the iPhone 12 Pro Max starts at US$1,099, the higher volume of shipments of this model means that the company''s revenue will increase and contribute to the revenue super-cycle.
Previous iPhone shipments are expected to reach 230-240 million units in 2021 Next TrendForce: the output of iPhone in 2021 are expected to reach 223 million

Jobless Frustrated Man Builds Plane Using Maruti Van Engine To Prove His Worth
AllIndiaWorldSportsWeird
16 K Shares
Sandeep Rai, TNNUpdated on May 26, 2016, 18:16 IST
A 26-year-old jobless man from a Muzaffarnagar village makes a one-seater aircraft out of sheer anger that he could not secure a job all these years. A resident of Kaserva village, a riot-affected region in the district, Abdul Wajid took up the gigantic mission when all his endeavours to secure a job failed. Wajid, during his stint in National Cadet Corps (NCC), had trained in aero-modelling at Safdarjung airport. Now the aircraft, built at a cost of Rs 5 lakh, is ready and awaits necessary approval as does his entire village, he told TOI.
"All I want is to show to all those who have found me worthless what I can do. I do not want anything more," he said. "The day this plane makes its first sortie, I am sure aviation industry will take note of it. Someone may employ me, train me further and utilise my services. At least the Uttar Pradesh chief minister will provide me some monetary assistance as he has done in several other cases in the past,"
The wooden structure weighing around 350kg and measuring a metre in length is supported by a sturdy steel frame and looks like a small aircraft ready to fly. Earlier, Wajid used two bike engines for the aircraft, but those could not give the propellers the required thrust. Eventually, he fitted the structure with the engine of an old Maruti van he purchased from a scrap dealer. The aircraft has cost him Rs 5 lakh which he collected from family, friends and generous villagers.

Wajid claims his plane, which runs on petrol and is fitted with a 25 litre fuel tank, can sustain in air for 10 km. Asked about the safety measures in case his experiment fails, he said
"When I get the required permission to fly this, I'll keep a parachute with me."
Wajid did his schooling from a local school and then completed his graduation from Delhi University. During his days in Delhi, he joined the NCC and got a C-certificate from its Air Force wing. It was during this stint that he developed interest in aero-modelling and was given an opportunity to train at Safdarjung airport. He also attended various NCC camps, like Vayu Sena camp, where he was learned finer nuances of aero-modelling. Later, he applied for various government jobs, but couldn't get one. Heartbroken, Wajid decided to prove his worth to those who matter and "force them to take note of his capabilities".

Hemant Verma, aero-modelling instructor at Safdarjung airport who guided Wajid all through his endeavour, said,
"I came in contact with him five years ago. Wajid had opted for three-year training in aero-modelling and showed promise from the very start. During training, cadets are provided technical know-hows to assemble aero-models that are run via remote control. All through this, he sought my guidance from time to time."
The experiment has created an unprecedented buzz in the area. Mohammad Akhlaq said , the village head.
"This will be a historic moment for the village. Earlier, we used to think it was some kind of a joke, but this boy actually made a small plane ready to fly. Now, he has the support of the entire village,"
BCCL
The real challenge is now to seek the mandatory permission to fly the aircraft. However, nobody seems to know how to obtain it. Muzaffarnagar additional district magistrate Manoj Singh, who recently visited Wajid and inspected the aircraft, said:
"This is the first time such a request has been made. District administration cannot do anything in this matter. Only the civil aviation ministry can grant this permission, but it is easier said than done."
Wajid is now planning to meet the civil aviation minister to secure permission to fly the aircraft. He said beaming with confidence.
"If I can construct an aircraft in a remote village of UP, I can also secure permission to fly it."

The Good Doctor Season 4 New Trailer Released
By Bernadette Torres
Patients, mark your calendars and book your appointments now because The Good Doctor will begin on November 2.
The full-length trailer for The Good Doctor Season 4 just dropped and it is loaded with intriguing scenes.
While we know about the coronavirus episode from the last article we made about The Good Doctor Season 4, the trailer also revealed that there will be at least six new characters to be introduced starting this November. One of them is Dr. Asher Wolke who is played by Noah Galvin. He is a freshman who decided to part ways from the Orthodox Jewish Church in order to pursue his dreams of becoming a doctor.
Another notable scene in the trailer introduces the tension between Dr. Shaun and two other doctors, Lim and Andrews. The two speak about whether or not Shaun would make a good supervisor, completely disregarding his incredible abilities.
ABC.com/The Good Doctor
During the last season of The Good Doctor, we witnessed Dr. Neil Melendez's slow and painful demise. In The Good Doctor Season 4 trailer, we see how affected Lim and Claire are with a few flashbacks to amplify their pain. Obviously, Claire is the most affected person in Neil's passing; she even tells Lim that this event in her life has forever changed her.
To be honest, if you were Claire and you were just starting a relationship out with Neil, then suddenly he is on his deathbed…we are pretty sure that it is not something that you would take lightly, right?
It has been confirmed that The Good Doctor series will have its first episode of Season 4 take on the topic of COVID-19 as a tribute to all frontliners and health workers sacrificing their lives all over the world.
The show's executive producer, David Shore, shares in an interview that "I do think we have a responsibility, as entertainers, to provide a little bit of an escape…We're not going to be dishonest about it… There's going to be an awareness of it, but those are not the stories we are going to tell."
He also confirmed that The Good Doctor Season 4 will not just be about the pandemic we are all experiencing and that the first episode entitled "Frontline" is just an homage to those who work in the medical field, trying to get this pandemic wiped out before it wipes us out.

The first president of the Arts and Crafts Exhibition Society (created in 1887), was Walter Crane. He was an illustrator and artist, but more importantly he sought to 'give opportunity to the designer and craftsman to exhibit their work to the public for its artistic interest and thus to assert the claims of decorative art and handicraft to attention equally with the painter of easel pictures'.
Though the society floundered at first, in part due to the publics very clear distinction between 'fine' and 'decorative' art, its fortunes were reversed after William Morris took over the presidency in 1891.
Due to this, Morris is often seen as the founding father of the Arts and Crafts Movement. However, in truth he was only one of a small group of people in the mid-nineteenth century who were appalled at the lack of good design practice. For them, the Industrial Revolution had corrupted sensibilities. Mass production of many items such as furniture and housewares had been ill conceived, shoddily made and often over-decorated for no purpose other than effect.
By the mid-nineteenth century Ruskin had already established himself as a well-respected writer - as an apologist for the artist J.M.W. Turner and the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood of artists.
Prior to Ruskin's essays on design and aesthetics, an English architect, designer and polemicist, Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin, had already written to demonstrate how classical architecture was inappropriate to a Christian country such as England, since its origins were in the pagan ancient worlds of Athens and Rome. In short, Pugin advocated a return to the medieval forms of craftsmanship and a 'truth to materials', central tenets of the later Arts and Crafts Movement.
Building on Pugin's ideas, Ruskin himself stopped short of a return to a medieval society, which he considered feudal and inappropriate to modern Victorian Britain. Like Pugin, however, Ruskin saw Gothic as the only authentic style for Britain - despite his own tastes being more eclectic.
Ruskin expressed his social ideas in the form of monthly pamphlets under the title Fors Clavigera, beginning in 1871. Although specifically intended to be read by the working classes, an enthusiast for these and other Ruskin works was William Morris.
Morris studied theology at the University of Oxford with the view of becoming a clergyman, but instead became enamoured of an artistic life after attending some of Ruskin's lectures and seeing at first hand the naturalism he advocated in the paintings of the Pre-Raphaelites.
Morris had also become disillusioned with the church and its lack of vibrancy. He visited many ancient churches and was appalled at the lack of maintenance and/or inappropriate refurbishment of their fabric and interiors. Morris vowed to arrest this problem and later set up the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings (SPAB), in 1877. It was Burne-Jones who introduced Morris to the Pre-Raphaelite artist Dante Gabriel Rossetti.
Rossetti was one of the founders of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, along with John Everett Millais and William Holman Hunt. The Brotherhood was established in 1848 to reverse the mode of painting that had become 'mannered' since the sixteenth century, following the death of Raphael. They felt that this style of painting was 'sloshy' and lax, and advocated a return to more naturalistic forms by referring to nature for inspiration. In this regard they were supported by Ruskin, who told them to 'follow nature', wrote supportive articles about them and their aims, and purchased their work.
All three Pre-Raphaelite artists were initially drawn to the romanticism of medieval culture and also enjoyed reinterpreting biblical narratives whilst using more natural contemporary models. In this morally righteous Victorian era, many of the pictures were seen as scandalous and even blasphemous since they depicted Holy figures in an informal setting.
William Morris was drawn to the charismatic Rossetti when they met in 1856, at a time when the artist had moved away from the ideals of his 'Brothers' in favour of a more spiritual dimension to his work. He encouraged Morris to take up painting himself; a venture that was very short lived. In the following year, Rossetti introduced Burne-Jones and Morris to his friend, the architect Benjamin Woodward (1816–61), who had recently completed the construction of the Debating Hall at the Oxford Union and asked them to decorate the interior with medieval-style frescoes.

MAN ON EARTH is:
Steven Nathan – Vocals / Guitar
Steve Gregoire – Guitar
Adam Root – Bass
Angelo Modica – Drums
"No one can ever take away your burning heart."
It was the summer of 2012 at a Tattoo parlor in the lower east side of Manhattan. She flew in from Germany just months after discovering the band online, today she was engraving the bands lyrics deep into her skin.
Man On Earth was established in the late 2000's by singer / songwriter Steven Nathan. Soon after completing a number of demos in his home studio, Nathan caught the attention of 8x Grammy winning mixer/producer Ken Lewis (Kanye West, Fall Out Boy, Lenny Kravitz). The two teamed up over a period of time writing and recording material that would lay the foundation for all that was to come.
By 2010 the bands reputation had already begun spreading. On the heels of being scored in an independent film, Man On Earth was rated one of NYC's top live rock bands by the Deli Magazine, had a song featured on the NBC Winter Olympics broadcast, a national TV appearance on Fox's Fearless Music, a mention in TIME Magazine, and won numerous contests and awards. Things really started to line up in Man On Earth's favor.
When FMQB declared the bands song 'All We Want' a "best bet pick", then clear channel picked up the song for their nationally syndicated radio show, it became obvious the world is getting even closer to discovering what has been so steadily building behind the scenes. 'All We Want' also became a staple at all NHL Islanders home games.
At the point Man On Earth entered the studio to record their first official album, 2011's 'Things They'd Never Believe', the line up had been established and officially included Steve Gregoire on guitars and Adam Root on Bass guitar. Together with producer Cooper Anderson (Kanye West, FUN) the band wrote and recorded their debut album and then recruited Angelo Modica as Man On Earth's full time drummer.
The efforts paid off. Immediately the band was opening for Simple Plan at their album release party in NYC and followed it up by touring with Hawthorne Heights, Madina Lake. Man On Earth also booked and promoted 5 successful national tours. In 2012 Man On Earth logged over 20,000 miles on the road playing close to 75 shows. With a strategy that includes a constant stream of new music videos, consistent touring and an unprecedented social network presence / fan interaction, Man On Earth's introspective and positive message has been connecting with fans around the world on a deep and personal level.
Harking back to an era when music was more than just the soundtrack to a reality show or video game… a time not too long ago when music was in fact a societal mirror as well as the catalyst directing popular culture – that is where the spirit of Man On Earth still remains surrounded by an ever growing army of dedicated followers.
When Man On Earth returned to the studio in December of 2012 to begin recording their follow up to 'Thing's They'd Never Believe', the band released a compilation of their early recordings titled 'In Case You Haven't Heard'. The digital only release requested by fans who had wanted to own the early recordings features guest appearances by pop icons Stephen Pearcy, lead singer of the multiplatinum 80's arena rock band RATT, as well as keyboardist Dr. Fink of Prince & The Revolution.
Much of what Man On Earth has achieved so far has been steeped in a deep DIY ethic coupled with an undying determination to connect with and inspire new and familiar minds. For Man On Earth, looking ahead to 2013, the goals are even bigger, the tours will be longer and further, and there is no doubt the impact will be even greater.
Our attention is now drawn back to the lower east side with the sound of a buzzing tattoo gun where our new German friend is sitting. We watch the trail of dark blood dripping down her arm. As the rubber gloved artist wipes it away he reveals for us yet another letter… now we begin to believe. Man On Earth is in fact building a deep personal connection one soul at a time.

They provide confirmation that all the elements of your Health and Safety Management System are working as you expect.
WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AN AUDIT & INSPECTION?
WHAT DO I NEED FOR AN AUDIT / INSPECTION PROGRAM?
There are a large number of audit and inspection schemes in use. Some are highly structured, others more free flowing. They may build in some form of rating system either qualitative or quantitative. Each will have its own advantages and shortcomings. The choice depends on the type of business and the expertise available amongst the auditors and inspectors.
Whatever systems are used, they will require a degree of skill and knowledge amongst the auditors and inspectors and commitment from you to maintain an agreed schedule and completed corrective actions.
ISTS can help you with your inspection process by devising and introducing an inspection and audit program to suit your needs. They will train the auditors and inspectors to give them the confidence they need to make effective observations and interventions.
ISTS will carry out a detailed audit of your organization's Health and Safety Management System giving you a prioritized action plan for improvement.

"Friends of Liberty is sturdy historical fiction of the kind that's not published too much these days. . . . The story delivers some exciting moments and challenging quandaries, and is especially strong with character building."
Gr 4–6—In 1773 Boston, Sally Gifford, daughter of a shoemaker, and Kitty Lawton, daughter of a wealthy merchant, are best friends thrust into the political battle raging around them. The girls exchange tokens of their secret sisterhood, but their fathers are at opposite ends of the spectrum, and Sally must decide where her loyalties lie. She has been invited to leave Massachusetts with Kitty and her family and live a life of English luxury, but should she stay with her family as a true daughter of America? Set against the forging of the Boston Tea Party and the American Revolution, this engaging novel tells a tale of friendship and of fighting for one's beliefs. It will appeal to kids who like historical fiction, and it is a good choice for classroom discussions of the war.—Terry Ann Lawler, Burton Barr Library, Phoenix, AZ
Sally is powerfully drawn to her wealthy, Tory best friend, Kitty, but the rapidly evolving situation in colonial Boston has put their families on opposite sides of the emerging struggle. Sally's father is a shoemaker; his standard of living contrasts sharply with that of their merchant neighbors, the Lawtons. When Sally visits there, she can let her imagination run, inventing a new life for herself that doesn't include a harsh stepmother and endless chores. But sometimes Sally doesn't understand that she unwittingly carries secrets that are too easily revealed. After her cousin is caught during a Sons of Liberty assault on Lawton's warehouse and imprisoned in the British fort in the harbor, she and Kitty's brother launch an improbable, but nonetheless suspenseful, late-night rescue attempt. Portraying the months leading up to the Boston Tea Party, this effort provides an enlightening glimpse of the conflicts that surrounded average people in an extraordinary time. The tale is related from Sally's third-person point of view, and while her character is adequately developed--although never plumbed to its fullest depth--others receive insufficient attention to be well-rounded. At times, the historical exposition feels heavy-handed, designed more to instruct than to advance the plot. In sum, the story conveys a flavor of an interesting period, but it never quite achieves the taste of grit on the tongue that the best Revolutionary War–era fiction offers. (Historical fiction. 10-13)

Gadget Review: the Nintendo Switch Gaming Console
Nintendo Switch is the newest gaming console from Nintendo which is now available in the Philippines. Nintendo Switch is designed as a versatile gaming console which you can use at home while connected to your HD television or bring with you as a handheld console. Games may be purchased as a physical Nintendo Switch Game Card or may be downloaded through the Nintendo eShop.
The console's modular design will allow you to easily switch from one gaming mode to another, hence the name Nintendo Switch. The main body of the console is the tablet with a 6.2-inch multi-touch capacitive touch screen. When purchasing the Nintendo Switch, it already comes with a pair of Joy-Con controllers which are available in three colors: grey, neon blue and neon red. It also has a 3.5mm audio jack.
In handheld mode, the Joy-Con controllers are attached to the sides of the tablet. The Nintendo Switch charges through USB Type-C port. The unit already comes with a charger upon purchase. It takes about three hours to fully charge the console while on sleep mode. The Joy-Con controllers also get charged when attached to the console. When fully charged, the console runs on battery and can last up to three hours of continues playing.
When detached from the tablet, the Joy-Con will automatically connect to the tablet via Bluetooth. In addition to the buttons and the analog sticks, the Joy-Con also has motion controls which can be activated through the game's settings. Activating the motion controls makes the games more fun and interactive, but it is completely up to your preference.
The console has a built-in stand which also serves as the cover of the miscroSD Card slot. Nintendo Switch has 32 GB of internal storage and is expandable up to 2TB using third-party microSDHC or microSDXC cards.
Using the console on desktop mode unleashes the full potential of Nintendo Switch. The Joy-Con controllers can be used by a single player, or separately by two players. The Nintendo Switch package also comes with a Joy-Con Grip to which you can mount the two Joy-Con controllers.
When staying at home or in a hotel, you can mount the Nintendo Switch console to the Nintendo Switch dock (part of the package). The dock serves as a charging station and connector to your HD television. The dock weights less than a pound and is very compact in size.
When staying in a hotel, just look for the HDMI port either at the media hub or ask assistance from the hotel's housekeeping when locating the HDMI port. Unfortunately, you can not connect the Nintendo Switch to your television without an HDMI port. Don't worry because you can always use it on desktop or handheld modes.
The Nintendo Switch really lives up to its promise of Freedom to have fun. Wherever. Whenever. Having said this, the Nintendo Switch is your perfect travel companion. It has enough power to run on batteries during short flights within the country. Bad news though if your find yourself stuck in the airport during delayed flights.
Another great news about the Nintendo Switch is that games are region-free. This means that users can buy games released in any region and they will work in all Nintendo Switch consoles. In the Philippines, Nintendo Switch game cards cost between P2,000 to P3,000. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe for example costs P2,795. Online, the games cost between US$4.99 to US$59.99.
The Nintendo Switch currently sells in the Philippines at P18,000. Bundles are also available at P22,000 which comes with two games or at P28,000 which comes with a game and an extra pair of Joy-Con controllers.

Old color film footage of city life never fails to fascinate because it's like stepping into a time machine. Last month, we shared a fantastic color film of London in 1927, and now we can travel forward in our time machine to New York City in 1939.
The below clip from the Romano Archives was captured in the summer of 1939 in NYC by French tourist Jean Vivier. Vivier shot the film on 16mm Kodachrome and it's in impressively good condition. (Though we quibble with the veracity of the title of the clip, which claims the footage is in "HD Color.")
Interestingly, there are no scenes included of the 1939 World's Fair in Queens, though it's possible that's on another reel. Otherwise, summer in New York looks surprisingly familiar nearly 75 years ago: swarmed with tourists, many who fill double decker buses and ride around the city. The old cars are a delight, particularly the giant yellow taxi cabs cruising past the Empire State Building.

Canary Island wines: Delicious pours from a volcanic landscape - Featured in the Boston Globe
Wednesday - December 6, 2017
Not long ago, if you mentioned bottles from the Canary Islands to wine-loving friends, you might be met with blank stares. But today, it's increasingly common to see a flicker of recognition — even ardent appreciation — for these distinctive pours, coaxed from the volcanic soils of a far-flung archipelago.
This chain of seven islands in the Atlantic, 60 miles from the Moroccan coast and under the Spanish flag, challenges notions about where grapes grow. While many vineyards are arranged in regimented rows, you will also find vines, on the easternmost island of Lanzarote, growing in the center of hoyos, man-made craters encircled by low stone walls that provide shelter from the wind. That landscape also includes fissures in the earth, the result of lava that flowed then cooled, exposing the bedrock below. Vines are tended in these crevices, too.
Wines here span the color spectrum, and range from dry to sweet. But flavors and aromas like salt, mineral, flint, and smoke — associated with volcanic soils — create an unmistakable through-line. Bottles from two winemaking families, both residing on Tenerife, the largest of the islands and home to volcano El Teide, have good availability in Boston-area shops, and are on offer for under $30.
With winemaking roots reaching back to the 18th century, Bodegas Monje is headed up by fifth-generation Felipe Monje. One bottle, called "La Hollera," is crafted from listán negro, an indigenous, vigorous varietal that is the most widely planted red grape in the Canaries. This suave pour is crafted using semi-carbonic maceration, whereby whole grapes are tipped into a vessel that is then sealed. Fermentation begins inside those intact berries, resulting in buoyant fruitiness in the finished product. Compare it side-by-side with a classic red, called "Tradicional," that spends brief time in oak.

The Globe's top picks for what to see and do each weekend, in Boston and beyond.
At Bodegas Viñátigo, fourth generation grower Juan Jesus, together with his wife Elena Batista, craft a lively pour from listán blanco. It's the region's principal white varietal, known as palomino fino in sherry-making Jerez. Both viticulturalists and enologists, the couple has made it their life's work to preserve and promote the islands' 80-plus indigenous varietals, propagating experimental plots of grapes like baboso negro and vijariego. Fingers crossed that we'll get to taste them in the near future.
This trio provides just a glimpse at the wares of the Canary Islands, wines that reward an adventurous palate. Ask for these bottles to ensure that more come our way.
Bodegas Viñátigo Listán Blanco 2016 This appealing white offers crunchy peach as well as lemony pith and spritz, with delicious acidity and a note of salt from beginning to end. Around $20. At Blanchards Wines & Spirits, Jamaica Plain, 617-522-9300; Pairings Wine and Food, Winchester, 781-721-9463.
Bodegas Monje "La Hollera" Carbonica 2015 High-toned confectionary aromas convey cherry, floral, and red plum skin, followed by graphite-like minerality, a soft character, and velvety tannins in the mouth. Around $22. At Curtis Liquors, Weymouth, 781-331-2345; Medfield Wine Shoppe, Medfield, 508-359-4097.
Bodegas Monje "Tradicional" 2014 Mostly listán negro with negramoll and listán blanco. On the nose, cherries and berries with a whiff of smoke, leading to a food-friendly, medium-bodied palate that sees brief time in neutral American oak. Around $25. At Bacco's Wine + Cheese, Boston, 617-574-1751; Grand Trunk Wine & Cheese, Newburyport, 978-499-4441.


Summer gardens are a true delight. While this toxic gas should be removed entirely from the home through the use of an exhaust system, there have been instances in which this gas has backed up into the home causing a serious safety hazard.
You may justify giving up certain must-haves to get a luxury you don't necessarily need. Need some ideas? Keep on reading this article and you could be very surprised.
Natural gas heating systems are far more cost efficient. As a result, homeowners who choose to switch to high efficiency natural gas heating system will often experience much lower heating costs than homeowners who choose an electric or oil powered heating system.

text: The refurbishment of the Sheraton Grand hotel in London, Park Lane has been a two year long labour of perfection. As a hotel which first opened in 1927, the refurbishment has bought about a twenties, art deco inspired classy interior. Complete with large green plants and a patterned carpet the cosy library area is a relaxing way to begin the day. A new restaurant and bar has been opened too. Once known as the 'Park Lane Hotel' the Sheraton Grand claims to be the first hotel where every bedroom had it's own en suite. Kinorigo participated in the refurb of 303 of these. The original classic marble bathrooms have been kept the same, but the newly refurbished ones are just as appealing, full of brilliant quality porcelain and Granite, in all shapes and sizes. With stand alone bath tubs and his and hers sinks, Kinorigo provided a vanity top solution. Many different sizes were required, each with under mounted basins. The shower trays are made from a porcelain that has a natural appearance, complementing the granite floor. The porcelain is non-slip, making an easy to clean environment that won't be affected by limescale or other shower related challenges.

Q: unity networking: bullets not showing on the server when spawned by the client I am making a simple 2D shooting game. Movements currently appear on both sides of the server fine, however bullets only appear on the server if the host creates them. If the client makes bullets, they cannot been seen by the host (but can be seen by the client), so I presume that they are not being spawned on the server. As the host works but the client doesn't, I do not understand why this problem occurs and how it works, so if someone could explain it to me, that would be great...

A: Looks like it's a case of creating the object on the server, perhaps with a client call that initiates that process.  Then, the server will Spawn that object, and send the object to all clients also.
See here for a detailed guide:  https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/UNetSpawning.html

Home >> About HIFA >> Overview
"Healthcare Information For All is an ambitious goal but it can be achieved if all stakeholders work together" World Health Organization 2006
HIFA is a global health network with nearly 20,000 members (health workers, librarians, publishers, researchers, policymakers...) committed to the progressive realisation of a world where every person has access to the healthcare information they need to protect their own health and the health of others.
HIFA members have a vast and unique experience and expertise which they can use to bring clarity to challenging questions around global health issues in general and healthcare information issues in particular.
One-third of members are based in Africa, one-third in Europe, and one-third in the rest of the world. HIFA members represent more than 2500 organisations across 178 countries worldwide, and interact on five HIFA Forums in three languages (English, French, Portuguese - Spanish soon). Join here (free).
HIFA was launched in Mombasa, Kenya in October 2006, at the 10th Congress of the Association for Health Information and Libraries in Africa. In 2004 the World Health Organization had commissioned a global review on access to healthcare information, leading to a paper in The Lancet by Fiona Godlee et al: 'Can we achieve health information for all by 2015?'. The authors called for all stakeholders to work together to improve the availability and use of healthcare information. The HIFA campaign is a direct response to that challenge.
A note on definition: HIFA has always used the term 'healthcare information' to refer to the information that is needed by the general public, health workers, policymakers and others to protect their own health and the health of those for whom they are responsible. We use the term broadly to include forms of information such as health education that people need to maintain health and to prevent disease and injury. We use the term 'healthcare information' and not the broader term 'health information' in order to emphasise our focus on practical information rather than other types of health information such as routine data and statistics.


Many people believe that obtaining informed consent from subjects during a clinical trial is not an issue. They believe that the way they are collecting consent now, via paper-based methods, is effective.
The truth is, obtaining informed consent via paper-based methods is very challenging. Paper puts study teams at risk for regulatory issues, inconsistency in the data, and poor participant comprehension.
The fact is, obtaining informed consent IS an issue that study teams are facing regularly, and with so many processes in clinical trials switching from paper to electronic, informed consent is the next solution to improve clinical trials for subjects, sponsors, sites, and anyone else involved in a clinical trial.

J.P. Wiser's takes user-generated content offline
The whisky brand has been collecting "toasts" from Canadians and delivering them publicly under its "Hold It High" campaign.
By Deepa Venkatesan
J.P. Wiser's celebrates the bonds of friendship with a new national campaign that features hundreds of real Canadians toasting their closest friends.
The heartfelt messages are appearing across the country through a variety of out-of-home, transit posters, street columns, superboards, online, as well as 80 different radio spots, under the ongoing tagline "Hold It High" that debuted a year ago.
"Last year we highlighted what makes J.P. Wiser's a great whisky by showing more about how we make our whisky and the people behind it," says Sam Jacobs, brand manager at the brand. "Now we want to shift the conversation from our people to all Canadians."
This year's campaign, by agency No Fixed Address, is the first user-generated campaign of this scale for J.P. Wiser, says Jacob. On its site, Holdithigh.ca, the brand is asking Canadians to make a "toast" (which can posted to social or downloaded for email or text) to their friends to let them "know what they mean to you." A total of 165 unique toasts in English and French were then selected from more than 1,000 submissions and used in radio spots and OOH.
"We had no idea about the kind of toasts we would even receive at first," says Jacob. "There was a massive leap of faith taking a fully user-generated campaign and applying it to traditional media."
The "toasts" are all deeply personal and the tone varies from humorous to emotional. For example, one post reads, "Hey Tina, this one's for all the last minute save-the-day missions, the laughs, and the hundreds of other ways you pour yourself out for others. Love ya, Jenn."
The brand personalised the experience even further with customized boards for some of the submissions. For example, after receiving a "toast" from a person proposing to their boyfriend, the brand worked with them to have it placed on a board near the home of the toastee.
"The campaign is really a mass toast to the effort that goes into great relationships – just like the effort that goes into the making of J.P. Wiser's whisky," says Dave Federico, CCO of No Fixed Address. "We wanted to help Canadians tell their closest friends what they mean to them in an exciting way that they probably couldn't have before."
In addition, the brand is also hosting an experiential booth at special events that allows people to record video toasts, as well as a live, simultaneous toast to the American-Canadian friendship, involving 50 people on both sides of the border in Detroit and Windsor, the home of the J.P. Wiser's distillery. "There are about 11,000 trucks and 15,000 cars that cross the Windsor border daily, so they heavily rely on each other's support," says Jacobs. "The Windsor-Detroit friendship angle was really a toast to the old-age friendship shared between the two cities that they've shared from the beginning."
Agencies working on the J.P. Wiser's campaign include No Fixed Address (AOR, creative and strategy), Media Experts (media planning and buying), Methodify (testing and optimization), and Deck Agency (public relations & experiential).
