Cleaning out your closet is often a dreaded task because you are faced with difficult choices regarding what you want to keep, what you want to store and which items need to just be tossed. We've made it simple for you. Just follow this handy guide and you will be able to clean out every closet in your house in a jiffy. Keep a few garbage bags handy to place the items you are getting rid of or plan on storing.
they aren't taking up closet space.
When you have tossed everything that needs to be tossed, move on to the next step.
You will want to store certain items that you still like, fit you and are in good shape. However, some of these will not be appropriate for the time of year. So pack away those bulky sweaters, fleece lined pants and wool socks. Make room for your spring and summer wardrobe. Maternity items are another category that need to be stored away and taken out only when needed. If you just found this for religion clothing & t shirts that you love but it's winter, get a storage unit to store your excess stuff until it's warm again.
By sorting your clothes according to the first two categories, you are now left with what to keep. Organize these however you wish, but in a way that makes sense to you. Some people like to organize by color, and some like to organize by type. Hopefully you will have trimmed down your closet significantly.
Now step back and eye that closet. Doesn't it look better? Pat yourself on the back for a great accomplishment. Get rid of those toss and donation bags as soon as possible to avoid the temptation of pulling out that horrid knitted sweater your aunt made you and placing it back in your closet.

Kind Einstein Bros. employees won't last here
The food service employees in the Student Center's Valaida S. Walker Dining Court do not have pleasant attitudes at all, a phenomenon that has found its way into the commentary pages of The Temple News
07 April 2008 Commentary
The food service employees in the Student Center's Valaida S. Walker Dining Court do not have pleasant attitudes at all, a phenomenon that has found its way into the commentary pages of The Temple News before.
However, the customer service at Einstein Bros. Bagels, which replaced Taco Bell this semester, as reported by The Temple News ["Einstein Bros. Bagels will replace former Taco Bell," Erin Pollock, Jan. 22, 2008], has been exceptional.
The employees are pleasant, and they greet customers before they take their orders, which is a huge difference from the impatient, ticked-off, mad-at-the-world attitudes that the other workers in the Student Center generally have.
They also work together in an assembly line to get the orders done quickly.
Shante Carroll, an employee at Einstein Bros. Bagels, said she believes a person's attitude is important when working in food service. Even when a customer is impolite and rude she doesn't lose her cool, Carroll said.
"I just tell them to talk to my manager," Carroll said.
Because of the contrast with the average employee, Einstein Bros. has gotten a lot of attention.
Yes, our Einstein Bros. employees have been kind, but it won't last.
These nice, polite, bubbly attitudes will be gone soon enough. It is still early. The business is fairly new in the Student Center, so it will only be a matter of time before these perky workers get sick of half-asleep college students who are not ready to order.
All the expected positive changes that seem to come are short-lived in the Student Center. From the touch screen monitors for ordering to new meal options, like Einstein Bros. and Dos Manos before it, the good times end quickly.
Give this place a good two weeks or so, and the workers will be looking at the customers with the same 'hurry up and order' glare that the rest of the Student Center employees embody.

This project comprises 6 dwellings over three levels including basement. It can best be described as 'urban renewal' given it replaces six smaller dwellings with at-grade parking built in the mid sixties. The project provides the opportunity to redress the shortfalls of the previous development in terms of its site specificness and dialog with the prevailing residential character of the area, its appropriateness to respond to climatic conditions through the adoption of current building technologies and general amenity enhancement throughout.
Each dwelling front's tree lined Marshall Avenue and accessed via private front gardens which carry a distinct Australian landscape theme.
The ground floors are broken into two living zones, separated by a central core accommodating private lift, powder room and laundry.
A seamless flow between the living zones provides access and visual connectivity between the street facing garden and rear courtyard. Extensive glazing affords a good balance of natural light throughout. Garaging and storage is provided below ground for each dwelling whilst bedrooms are provided at the second level where natural light is gained through sliding window and door panels providing access to private balconies. A continuous roof window links master ensuites, bathrooms and upper level corridors to further balance the access of natural light. The dwellings range in size from 216 to 230 square metres over the three levels. Outside walls are sound and thermally insulated with all windows being double glazed to ensure acoustic privacy between the dwellings and beyond.


Where does Process Explorer store Column Sets?
This is a fantastic feature. Being a being of multiple PCs (six and counting), I was hoping to be able to share the fruits of my column tuning with >1 of my PCs. Process Explorer doesn't have an "export" function for these column sets, but they've gotta be stored somewhere on my system, but where?
Exporting the column sets, should you be so inclined, is simply a matter of exporting the registry keys below ColumnSet0 in my example and saving it as a .REG file.
One interesting side note. Being a huge advocate of portable applications (I'm typing this blog via the ScribeFire add-on to Firefox Portable), I actually run ProcExp.exe off of a USB thumb drive. By having column sets stored in the Registry, this means that my column sets do not move with me as I move my thumb drive from system to system. In the grand scheme of things, it'd been slightly more portable to have this information stored in an old-fashioned .INI file in the app directory. It's not a deal breaker, but would've been nice.
Perhaps this [not so] brief blog post will answer the simple question I had when I started my quest a couple hours ago. Enjoy!


MIT held a campus wide vigil Monday to remember those from the school who have died.
The 15-minute event, called "All Doors Open" was intended as a time for anyone affiliated with MIT to reflect on how the school should deal with such tragedy. During the past six months, six members of the MIT community have died.
Most recently, undergraduate student Phoebe Wang was found dead in her dorm last Tuesday. Earlier in the month, grad student Austin Travis was found dead in his apartment. The causes of those deaths have yet to be disclosed.
The event was meant to foster dialogue. In a letter released last week, MIT encouraged members of their community to engage with one another.
An open letter signed by MIT brass last week read, "Monday at noon, we ask that everyone at MIT stop what they are doing and take 15 minutes or so to remember those we have lost, reflect on how their deaths have affected us and think broadly about how we as a community should respond."

Despite Headline-Grabbing Tech Layoffs, Labor Market Remains Strong
Share of tech workers reporting lost pay has fallen from 15.3% to 11.6% in recent weeks
By Press
November 30, 2022 at 5:00 am ET
For the four weeks ending Nov. 19, 11.6% of U.S. workers in the tech industry reported lost pay or income in the prior week, down from a six-month high of 15.3% in early October, according to high-frequency data from decision intelligence company Morning Consult. This indicates the recent wave of pay losses in the sector is receding, despite headlines about layoffs at major tech corporations.
News coverage of layoffs has yet to drive overall job insecurity higher, though across industries, tech workers understandably feel the most vulnerable. From September to November, 16% of employed tech workers said they expected to lose employment income in the next four weeks, compared with 11% of all employed U.S. adults.
"The biggest question now is whether the rollback of excessive hiring in the tech sector is indicative of an economy-wide issue," said John Leer, chief economist at Morning Consult. "Our high-frequency data shows little sign that is the case so far, and U.S. workers seem to agree."
Drawn from weekly surveys of 20,000 U.S. adults, Morning Consult's lost pay data closely mirrors initial unemployment claims and provides an early warning signal for weakness in the labor market. This month's findings, however, indicate layoffs remain contained in the tech sector and have yet to spur a long-term uptick in lost income.

"The impact of tech layoffs on the U.S. economy will be muted by the fact that the sector makes up a relatively small share of overall employment," said Jesse Wheeler, economic analyst at Morning Consult. "While the demand for workers is likely to fall in the coming months, our data shows cracks in the labor market are still few and far between."
To speak with our team of economists about Morning Consult's high-frequency economic data, email press@morningconsult.com.
Morning Consult's U.S. Lost Pay/Income Survey provides an early, high-frequency indicator of the health of the U.S. labor market. The survey closely tracks initial unemployment claims. However, unlike weekly unemployment claims data, our data includes adults who lost pay or income but were either ineligible for unemployment benefits or did not apply for them, thus providing a more holistic signal of the strength of demand for workers.
Morning Consult surveys 17,000 consumers around the world each day on key economic indicators and conducts an additional 20,000 weekly interviews in the United States on lost pay or income.

In Part 1 & 2 of this article series, we stated that in marketing luxury real estate great marketing necessitates great strategy. Selling requires tactics, scheming and maneuvering. When marketing is done right selling is unnecessary and your competition becomes irrelevant.
Have you heard the expression "selling ice to an Eskimo"? It usually means attempting to persuade people to go against their best interest to accept something that they do not really need or want. This is at the heart of what selling is in relationship to marketing.
Selling is at best a complete waste of time and it usually annoys the customer. It does so because it goes against the self-interest of the client instead of focusing on the client's most pressing needs.
Marketing is the alignment of purpose. It is tuning into the emotional needs of the client and allowing them to see how your products or services can either relieve their pain or help them gain what they want.
Have you every wondered how Apple became the most valuable company in the world without a sales force? How is it that they can consistently sell out of a new product offering within days or even hours of putting it on the market without any sales people?
Steve Jobs and company introduced us all to must have products and services that we did not even know we needed or wanted. Apple did not just invent new products; they invented new product categories. In the process they created news that unleashed unparalleled media coverage. It also sparked word-of-mouth advertising, which turned very satisfied customers into evangelical salespeople.
Have you been to an Apple store? You may see some amazing products there, but what you will not see is a single salesperson. One thing that Apple's competitors have not come close to is in-store and online customer service. Having knowledgeable people, people who speak our language from our own country available to answer our questions, this is a luxury that satisfies some very important needs in our time-starved world.
The key to marketing, in your luxury real estate marketing practice, is to focus on marketing vs. selling. Do not waste your time trying to sell ice to Eskimos. Make news! Find ways to align with the most pressing needs of your potential clients. Ideally, find an uncontested or underserved market niche where you can create news and trigger word-of-mouth advertising.


One of my favorite places we have visited is Cumberland Island, GA. You can see Florida from little tip of South Georgia. The island is now a National Park and Seashore, and has a great history. In recent years large portions of the island were owned by the Carnegie family of New York as their private winter getaway. In the late 1800's and early 1900's They built 3 mansions on the island, one of which has been restored by the National Park Service and is available for tours. As part of their donation of the island to the Park Service, The Carnegie family asked that their horses be allowed to roam wild on the Island. So as you hike or ride bikes around the Island you see the horses often. It is a very pretty Island. It has beautiful canopy of gnarled live oak trees with spanish moss hanging from the branches. It has a huge shoreline of sandy beach on the ocean, and a wooded shoreline along the river. We were able to anchor in the river just off the island and enjoy the area for a few days.
Matthew came down with the croup while we were here, so Sunday morning, not wanting to repeat a long night of listening to Matthews shallow breathing and coughing, David and I found ourselves in the dinghy crossing the inlet between Georgia and Florida headed to the nearest urgent care that we could find open on a Sunday. We paid to dock our little dinghy at a Marina in Ferdinand, FL, less than 5 miles where we were anchored. From the marina we took a taxi to an urgent care center where we waited to see a Physician's Assistant who ignored Matthews shallow breathing and the fact that I told him he had a bark cough all night. He suggested that he probably has strep "…because it's going around." At this point I asked if he would run a quick strep test, at which he replied "No, because it is 30% wrong." He then wanted to give us a prescription for strep rather than a steroid for the croup. Now I was upset. First of all, strep in children under the age of 2 is extremely uncommon. Second, he had no signs of strep,a little red in the throat but no white bumps. What he did have was all the signs of a viral respiratory infection—which causes croup. I asked the PA why he didn't think it was croup, and he said "Well he's not coughing right now". And as I reminded him, croup presents the strongest at night, so he's not coughing much now, but at night it's terrible. Still ignoring me, he wanted to write his prescription for strep. I asked him which antibiotic, expecting amoxicillin, but he wanted to give him a non penicillin antibiotic, claiming that penicillin antibiotics aren't working on strep anymore. I was starting to wonder why we were here with him, DR's have prescribed Penicillin for strep for decades and decades, and still do. I was totally bewildered by this guy. Finally he said," "forget it, I'll just give you the steroid, it's all you want anyway" and he left the room. David, was concerned that maybe he was right and we were wrong. I was pretty darn sure I was right, but if David wanted to get the antibiotic too, than fine. I did remind him though that he wasn't prescribing the $4 antibiotic, but one in the $75 dollar price range. David went out to talk to the PA and he sent in a prescription to Walmart for both medications. We paid our $85 fee and left. Writing this now, makes me want to write that clinic a letter to let them know how terrible that PA was.
After 1 day on the steroid Matthew's breathing and coughing was sooo much better, I didn't need the steroid anymore. I had started him on the antibiotic at the same time "just in case" but after 2 days he had terrible diarrhea that I had to take him off it. And he just got better and better. No one else came down with strep throat—but Benjamin also had a little cold too. So I am now positive that PA was just wrong.
After that crazy Sunday, I still love that visit to Cumberland Island. We spent another day there seeing more of the Island and enjoying its beauty. You can camp on the Island by taking a ferry over to the island. I don't think I would have ever visited this pretty place had we not been passing thru on RCabin. The kids, of course, earned a junior ranger badge during our visit here.

Q: Glade : disparity when trying to remove a row of a liststore I am building an app using Glade and Gtk.
I have a treeview. In Glade I configured this treeview so that its model would be a GtkListstore called liststore.
This liststore has two columns of type gcharray.
I use pyinotify to detect when a usb media is plugged in and out. When something is plugged in, here is what happened :
self.liststore.append() # empty row
for value1 in some_list:
    row_shape = [value2,value1]
    self.liststore.append(row_shape)

Basically I just append a few rows to my liststore. This works fine.
When a USB media is plugged out, here is what is supposed to happen :
current_iter = self.liststore.get_iter_first()
delete_items = list()
while current_iter:
    if self.liststore[current_iter][0] == some_value
         delete_items.append(current_iter)
    current_iter = self.liststore.iter_next(current_iter)
for i in delete_items:
     self.liststore.remove(i)

When the code gets to the removing part, I get a black screen and an error saying :

Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtktreeview.c:6908 (do_validate_rows) : assertion `gtk_tree_model_iter_next (tree_view_>priv->model, &iter)' failed.
  There is a disparity between the internal view of the GtkTreeView and the GtkTreeModel. This generally means that the model has changed without letting the view know. Any display from now on is likely to be incorrect.

What is wrong in my deletion process?
EDIT :
I partly solved the problem by setting a new liststore when I want to erase the first one. My screen does not go black anymor but I still get an error :

Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_list_store_get_value: assertion 'column < priv->n_columns' failed

Sumit Gupta in Cricket | May 12, 2010
My Favorite Cricketers, and why?
Over 19 years of following cricket madly does leave you with quite a good number of old memories to cherish. Be it the 1992 (see first comment below) 1993 Hero Cup last over by Sachin, or the sight of Siddhu stepping out and hitting Murali for sixes!! The memories and the experience of watching those pristine cricket matches could never be replaced. Obviously, some players have left a deep impression on me. I have always been a fan of good cricket, and never madly followed any one cricketer, and so I am going to list my favorite players whom I have seen play (in no particular order), and why they are on the list.
Brian Lara
1. Brian Lara
Brian Lara has been the most destructive batsman I have seen play, and with the consistency he had, I rate him as the best Test batsman till he retired. It is one thing to score a world record 375, but another to come back and reclaim it with a 400 not out 10 years later. He has 9 double houndreds, second only to Bradman. He holds the highest first class score record of 500, which makes him the only batsman to score a century, a double century, a triple century, a quadruple century and a quintuple century in first class cricket. And all this has come against the great bowlers of the world like Murali, Warne, McGrath, etc when his own team was struggling to even make a contest. To top it all, he was the captain of the team for many years and yet continued his onslaught without letting the captaincy affect his batting. I remember a series against Sri Lanka in Sri Lanka where Lara scored 2 double hundreds in 3 test matches while West Indies were beaten without a contest by the Lankans. He has a strike rate of 60 in test matches (which is not matched by many) and is only one of the few players to score a hundred before lunch. The fear he had in the bowler's minds was unmatchable.
2. Sachin Tendulkar
Probably much has been written and said about him than all the other players in this list combined. The way he has persisted with batting beautifully, how he has rediscovered himself, first for the one dayers and then for T20s is totally amazing. How he has overcome the limits of the human body to play continously for 21 years (and counting), how he has overcomes injuries, criticism from critics (including me) make him the cricketer he is. His continous hunger of runs remains after two decades and his ability to play with the bat is as much amazing as his ability to play with the mind. He is the one player who always seems to have an extra second while playing a ball, and many times he knows what delivery the bowler is going to bowl. The way he hits a ball over the fielders sometimes to create gaps where he wants in the field shows the marking of a true thinking batsman. And the humility which he brings with him to his cricket makes him a very good human being too. A true ideal for youngsters on how to handle criticism, and more importantly, how to handle success. I rate him, along only with Shane Warne (of current generation), as one of the greatest players ever to play cricket.
3. Rahul Dravid
Grit, determination and perseverance are not better symbolized by anyone else as by Rahul Dravid. Not everyone is nicknamed "The Wall" and Dravid has earned this nickname by standing tall against the best bowlers in the world while his team mates came in and got out at the other end. He has saved many test matches for India, by just standing there at one end. He has hurt the bowlers, not by aggresive strokeplay but by an inpenetrable defense. I have always felt pity on a fast bowler like Brett Lee who comes running in and bowls at 150ks / hr and the ball lies dead on the pitch just below the point where it hit the middle of the willow of Rahul. Yet he has scored more than 11,000 runs in Test cricket with 80 century partnerships (a world record). Fielding at slip, he has the highest number of catches in test cricket. Once deemed unfit for one day cricket, he rediscovered himself and has over 10,000 runs in that format. Now he is a treat to watch in T20s in IPL. He is one player who I have seen change the most in terms of his batting, yet contains the humility with which he entered the team in 1996. And in test matches, I would say he has been a better batsman than Sachin Tendulkar and one of all time greats!!
4. Shane Warne
Shane Warne is the only cricketer of the present generation (and the only bowler) who figured in the Wisden Top Cricketers of the Century list in 2000. It is a tribute to the man who weaved his magic with his wrist spinners and huge turners, bowling batsman out behind the legs many times. His dismissal of Mike Gatting in 1993 is widely regarded as the ball of the century. He is very rightly labled as the King of Spin and was the first to take 700 test wickets, and it is not to be forgotten that he played in a team which had great fast bowlers not always giving him a full chance of taking a lot of wickets. He was also the man of the match in the World Cup semi-final and final in 2003. Apart from bowling, he captained English county side Hampshire for 3 seasons from 2005 to 2007 before joining the Rajasthan Royals in IPL as captain and coach. He led a team of no-stars to victory in the inaugural version of the IPL due to his inspirational captaincy and magical bowling. He never got the Australian captaincy because of being surrounded in controversies but many say he is the "Best Captain Australia Never Had." And you have to see him to believe what charisma he brings with himself when he walks into the cricket field.
5. Steve Waugh
I have always admired Steve Waugh's integrity and courage under pressure on the cricket field. And his ability to remain calm in high pressure situations made him known as the "Iceman". He started as a batsman and a bowler, playing some epic innings, including the twin hundreds during the 1997 Ashes. Later he led Australia to 16 consecutive test victories, the best run ever by any team in Test Matches. During the 1999 World Cup came his biggest test when Australia began badly and needed to win all their last 8 matches to win the World Cup. The twin matches against South Africa in that World Cup, where he made 120 not out in the first one to turn the tide around and his leadership in the tied semi-final made him one of my all time favourites. Along with Shane Warne, he turned around Australia's World Cup and ended up winning it, making him only the 2nd Australian (apart from Tom Moody) player to be a part of two world cup winning teams. Apart from cricket, he has also been involved in philantropic activities in Calcutta and was named the Australian of the Year in 2004 when he retired.
6. Wasim Akram
If Shane Warne was the magician of spin, Wasim Akram is the Sultan of Swing. With Waqar Younis, he formed one of the most destructive opening bowler pair ever. His mastery over the art of moving the ball both ways at a good pace made him the most dangerous bowler of all time. He showed the world how to bowl with the old ball. See this delivery to see how he filled dead pitches with life. He finished with the highest wickets in one days and 400+ in test matches. His inspired leadership and batting made him a matchwinner with the bat too. He will always be remembered, with Waqar Younis, the person who showed the world the art of reverse swing bowling.
7. Virender Sehwag
Perhaps the only cricketer of the current era who has broken all notions about how cricket should be (or should not be) played. He is one player who always sees the ball and not the occasion. Whether it is the first ball of the match or the last, whether it is a test match or a T20 match, if the ball deserves to be hit, Sehwag will hit it. A player who has changed how test cricket is played, and has handed India many test wins just because of the impact he has when he scores his runs at such a pace at the top of the batting order. Though he gets dismissed quite often playing his style of cricket, and criticized everytime he does so, but this is Sehwag for you. Critics have always hit out at him for not being more careful and mature in his shot selection and that his style of cricket won't suit Test cricket but he is most successful in the longer version of the game. 6600 runs at an average of 53+ and a strike rate of 80+ makes him the most fearful player in cricket today. He is the only player to have three 290+ scores and the only player ever to complete a triple century with a six. He is one of a kind, and his views about cricket is as candid as his batting. By the time he retires, he might be one of the all time greats.
8. Saurav Ganguly
The man who still is India's most successful captain ever has evoked emotions in Indian cricket like none other had done before. He took over the reins of Indian cricket in its worst time with match fixing allegations doing the round. He made a team, and a winning one at that, out of a bunch of youngsters. He backed players like Zaheer, Harbhajan, Yuvraj, Kaif, Sehwag when no-one was ready to give them a chance and made them into match winners and the Indian team into a formidable unit. Earlier he has formed, with Sachin Tendulkar, one of the most destructive opening wicket pair in One Day cricket history. After unceremoniously going out of the side after a public spat with coach Chappel, he made a spirited comeback and even scored his maiden Test double century. Amidst all the controversies and negative publicity surrounding him, he was a cult figure in India and not to forget the fact that Wisden named him the sixth greatest one day player of all time. His strokeplay through the off side has earned him "The God of off-side" title. If his batting was as elegant as it could be, his "in the face" aggression was best depicted by the shirt removing act in the final of the Natwest Series in 2002.
9. Anil Kumble
The perfect brand ambassador cricket can ever hope for. And the way he led India during the controversial Australia tour in 2008 was an example of how a leader should lead himself and his team. He is the leading wicket taker for India in both Tests and One Days and is third in the overall Test list with 619 wickets. He is the only bowler of the current generation who has taken all 10 wickets in an innings. I still remember watching that match on TV on a chilly February day in Delhi. He has relied more on change of pace and guile rather than big turners. He is the leading wicket taker by way of "caught and bowled" and has taken 5 wickets in an innings an incredible 35 times. Perhaps no bowler has won India more matches than Kumble. "Jumbo", as he is popularly known, is known for his determination and full commitment to the team, which was symbolised with he bowling with a fractured jaw in 2002 in Antigua. After his retirement from Test cricket, he has reinvented himself for T20s, leading Bangalore to finals in 2009 and has been their best bowler in 2010.
Players will come and go, but legends like those listed above will be impossible to replace!!

Back to School—Maybe?
By Mike Hennessy Sr, Chairman

Pharmacy TimesAugust 2020
Pharmacy Times will continue to bring readers the latest information on COVID-19 developments, in a variety of formats.
It has been an unprecedented 6 months in the United States, and slowly, we are readying children to return to a strange new normal that has never been seen before.
Pharmacists have dealt with not only COVID-19 but an ancillary disease that has affected young people around the world: multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C). As information continues to emerge about this illness, health officials are struggling with how to best advise school officials about opening their doors.
The school semester as of press time is still somewhat of an unknown in many districts, but as of this point, one thing is certain: bringing students, teachers, and other staff members back into classrooms will require a multilayered approach that will likely, according to the CDC, encourage parents to screen children for signs of illness every morning, make sure that they are up-to-date with recommended vaccines, and provide them with multiple cloth face coverings to be worn throughout the school day.
There is also still much unknown about how both COVID-19 and MISC-C will play out in the long run. The swell of warmer weather has not shown a drop in cases as originally hoped, and in fact, in many states, infection rates and hospitalizations continue to rise. Nevertheless, there is room for optimism: from newly approved drug therapies to a variety of clinical trials for vaccines, medical communities are moving at warp speed to address this illness.
As has been the case since the beginning of the pandemic, Pharmacy Times will continue to bring readers the latest information on COVID-19 developments, in a variety of formats, including a recent back-to-school webinar that focused on this very topic and another recent webinar, Immunization Practices During the COVID-19 Pandemic, which was designed to inform pharmacists about best practices for how to advise patients during these complicated times. There are also a number of related articles on the subject of COVID-19 and vaccines throughout the pages of this issue.
We wish children and all who work in schools a safe academic year and know that they can count on pharmacists to provide advice and education during these extraordinary times.

Russian jeweller Sokolov is planning a dual listing in New York and Moscow in 2023, its co-owner told Reuters, betting on strong revenue growth and the development of its retail network as it joins a raft of Russian companies pursuing market debuts.
"In the United States we are considering both the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq," he said. "To have good free float and liquidity, we need to raise about $500 million."
Sokolov, which manufactures jewellery and operated as a wholesaler for many years, tripled its market share with the launch of its brand in 2014 and soon after moved into retail, which now accounts for almost half of revenue. It expects to have 350 stores by the end of 2021, up from 20 in 2019.
Sokolov's January-September revenue was around 20 billion roubles ($275 million), with full-year revenue expected to reach around 30 billion roubles, more than doubling year on year.
The company did not disclose profit data, but Sokolov said: "We have always been profitable. Now we have exponential development of revenue and profit."
Sokolov forecast that the company should become Russia's jewellery market leader by retail revenue, overtaking domestic rivals Sunlight and 585 Gold in 2023. He views Swarovski and Pandora (PNDORA.CO) as the company's closest international competitors.
The group also sells jewellery on a mobile app, which has one million monthly active users. It has three million monthly active users on its website.
"We will fight to be the number-one mobile jewellery application in the world with our own retail and production," he said.
Sokolov is also planning to open 15-20 stores in Kazakhstan in 2022 and will launch a retail network in Germany next year.

GABBLER RECOMMENDS: Why the British Tell Better Children's Stories
Posted on January 15, 2016 by blablablaandgabbler
"If British children gathered in the glow of the kitchen hearth to hear stories about magic swords and talking bears, American children sat at their mother's knee listening to tales larded with moral messages about a world where life was hard, obedience emphasized, and Christian morality valued. Each style has its virtues, but the British approach undoubtedly yields the kinds of stories that appeal to the furthest reaches of children's imagination.
It all goes back to each country's distinct cultural heritage. For one, the British have always been in touch with their pagan folklore, says Maria Tatar, a Harvard professor of children's literature and folklore. After all, the country's very origin story is about a young king tutored by a wizard. Legends have always been embraced as history, from Merlin to Macbeth. "Even as Brits were digging into these enchanted worlds, Americans, much more pragmatic, always viewed their soil as something to exploit," says Tatar. Americans are defined by a Protestant work ethic that can still be heard in stories like Pollyanna or The Little Engine That Could.Americans write fantasies too, but nothing like the British, says Jerry Griswold, a San Diego State University emeritus professor of children's literature. "American stories are rooted in realism; even our fantasies are rooted in realism," he said, pointing to Dorothy who unmasks the great and powerful Wizard of Oz as a charlatan.
American fantasies differ in another way: They usually end with a moral lesson learned—such as, surprisingly, in the zany works by Dr. Seuss who has Horton the elephant intoning: "A person's a person no matter how small," and, "I meant what I said, and I said what I meant. An elephant's faithful one hundred percent." Even The Cat in the Hat restores order from chaos just before mother gets home. In Oz, Dorothy's Technicolor quest ends with the realization: "There's no place like home." And Max in Where the Wild Things Are atones for the "wild rumpus" of his temper tantrum by calming down and sailing home….
Even well into the 19th and even 20th centuries, many believed they could be whisked away to a parallel universe. Shape shifters have long haunted the castles of clans claiming seals and bears as ancestors. "Gaelic culture teaches we needn't fear the dark side," Bateman says. Death is neither "a portal to heaven nor hell, but instead a continued life on earth where spirits are released to shadow the living." A tear in this fabric is all it takes for a story to begin. Think Harry Potter, The Chronicles of Narnia, The Dark Is Rising, Peter Pan, The Golden Compass—all of which feature parallel worlds.
These were beliefs the Puritans firmly rejected as they fled Great Britain and religious persecution for the New World's rocky shores. America is peculiar in its lack of indigenous folklore, Harvard's Tatar says. Though African slaves brought folktales to Southern plantations, and Native Americans had a long tradition of mythology, little remains today of these rich worlds other than in small collections of Native American stories or the devalued vernacular of Uncle Remus, Uncle Tom, and the slave Jim in Huckleberry Finn."

Next Post Tweets of the Week: Song of the Siren


As part of the Canada 150 celebrations happening this year, we'll be exploring Canadian food from coast to coast all year long. In our Canada's Chefs series, Tiffany Mayer will be profiling Canadian Chefs from every province, embracing Canadian cuisine. This month she interviews Chef Nancy Hinton who champions the possibilities and pragmatism of wild food at Les Jardins Sauvages in Saint-Roch-de-l'Achigan, Quebec.
Nancy Hinton knows the way to social change is through one's stomach.
The chef at Les Jardins Sauvages finds it even more effective when those bellies are filled with the likes of wild ginger, sea parsley and cattails.
Hinton has made it her raison d'être to rein in wild ingredients at the culinary destination she's built with partner François Brouillard in Saint-Roch-de-l'Achigan, Quebec, and turn them into something sublime. Her creations remind us that eating local isn't all that's important. Eating sustainably is as much a consideration when we sit down to dinner, too.
There was time, though, when Hinton was a cog in the machine she has been effectively railing against for the past 17 years.
Hinton was en route to becoming a biochemist when a job waiting tables in university in Montreal caused her to rethink things. She found herself asking questions of the chef, who taught her mother sauces. She also spent her tips on restaurant dinners and food magazines to feed a part of her soul that life in the lab couldn't sate.
Food, she realized, was much bigger picture. People could relate to it — to each other over a meal. The chance to connect and make a difference was palpable with every bite offered.
So Hinton traded her lab coat for chef's whites two months before finishing her biochemistry degree. She enrolled in culinary school where she discovered cooking food and her previous life weren't all that different when her instructor gave Hinton her first cookbook: Harold McGee's science-heavy tome On Food and Cooking.
She got lost in its pages, in using all her senses in the kitchen, and especially in the creative freedom cooking offered.
It was also scary. Hinton was an academic, after all, and she wasn't as confident she would be able to hack it at trade school. Everything about being in the kitchen required her to be in the moment and handle the high pressure that came with life behind the burner. Still, she found it all so seductive, so she pushed through her fears.
She worked two full-time jobs after she graduated, clocking hours seven days a week with steadfast determination to quickly scale what she said was a steep learning curve.
She did, however, have to phone in orders of ingredients, like those factory-farmed chickens, to big suppliers in the early days of her career. It was common at the time, despite how progressive the kitchens were in which she developed her chops. Then in 2000 she found herself in the kitchen of Chef Anne Desjardins at the iconic L'Eau à la Bouche. Desjardins has been likened to the Alice Waters of Quebec for her commitment to using local and sustainable ingredients.
"It was all the best for everything. We had one guy for the cream. She grew her own garden with flowers and herbs, which is common now but was novel at the time. She knew so many little farmers and cultivated relationships with them," Hinton said.
Brouillard, the descendant of coureurs des bois and a fourth generation forager from Saint-Roch-de-l'Achigan, was among Desjardins' most trusted suppliers.
For much of his career, Brouillard struggled to convince local chefs they need not order exotic ingredients from abroad. There was plenty on offer in their own backyard, and he could source it for them.
In Brouillard and Desjardins, Hinton found teachers eager to expose her to the possibilities and pragmatism of wild foods. Hinton's first lesson came in the form of Brouillard's foraged greens with their robust flavours, then his wild mushrooms, which were commonly sourced from Europe.
Soon Hinton was tasked with handling all of the orders from Brouillard, who also supplied other Montreal dining landmarks. There was never a shortage of muses when he delivered the goods.
"As a chef, you just want the best products. It's common sense. It seems in the food industry we've lost track of what makes sense. There's a disconnect with nature. This local, seasonal quality, knowing where our food comes from, should just be … normal," Hinton said.
That business relationship with Brouillard eventually extended beyond the kitchen of L'Eau à la Bouche. Chef and forager began collaborating on an annual wild mushroom festival that has become "a crazy monster" and remains the most popular dining event at Jardins Sauvages today.
That morphed into talk of using Brouillard's grandmother's chalet where he learned to forage as a boy as a restaurant that would open on weekends only in Saint-Roch-de-l'Achigan.
Hinton would cook there as a visiting chef, and make preserves with Brouillard's finds. The goal was to show other Quebecois chefs and diners what could be done with Brouillard's harvests because many had no idea.
Eventually they became partners in business and life, and Hinton resigned at L'Eau where she had found a mentor unlike any other in Desjardins. The two served as foils to each other, she remembered.
"I really understood what she wanted and what she liked," Hinton said. "I remember being like 'Whoa!' I'd been so used to working around male egos, even though I had important mentors when I was developing as a chef. I spent years trying to prove myself, and be one of the guys. With Anne it was a relief to not have that. Female chefs have egos, too, but Anne was a reasonable person, truly.
But Hinton's next adventure called. Brouillard would forage and on weekends she would cook multi-course meals that beckoned bons vivants and the curious from the city, the U.S., even France.
Duck broth with wild mushrooms, rabbit ravioli, leeks and sea parsley; organic turkey crusted with cattail flour; and milk cake with maple, pawpaw sorbet and sweet grass are just some of what Hinton cooks up.The current menu features 30 kinds of wild mushrooms.
She draws incredible inspiration from sturdy wild greens — "You can taste the vitality" — and the varied flavours and aromas of wild mushrooms.
"I'm just such a nose person. I spend my days saying 'Ah!' I appreciate smells so much," Hinton said.
Each course at Sauvages, set 45 minutes outside of Montreal, is served with separate plates of the wild ingredients for people to see, touch and smell, and learn about from Brouillard.
The couple also sell Hinton's ready-made foods, preserves and spice mixes featuring wild ingredients year-round at Montreal's Jean-Talon market.
Business has boomed largely because Hinton and Brouillard are an A-Team. But they also made a go of it just as wild foods became trendy, and fair-weather foragers began harvesting ramps, fiddleheads and sea asparagus with wild abandon.
That uptick in DIY wildcrafting worries Hinton. Sure, people are eating more wild foods, and interest in what she and Brouillard do is great. But those armchair foragers, and chefs who just want a fancy ingredient on their menus, are as disconnected from nature as those wanting an $8 chicken, she explained.
That exploitation of wild foods is why Hinton can't put wild leeks known as ramps on the menu. As the gateway wild food for many newbie foragers, they're now illegal in Quebec to sell commercially or put on a plate in a restaurant because they've been so over-harvested.
Hinton said she and Brouillard don't mind a law in place protecting plant species. But those rules do affect their business. That's why Brouillard is working with government to create regulations or a harvest permit system, and tackle the wild food black market. Progress has been frustratingly slow, however.
In the meantime, he directs chefs' and customers' attention to ingredients that haven't been exploited, such as lamb's quarters or wild mustard, to give those that have, like sea asparagus, the chance to regenerate.
Hinton hopes her lessons about wild food are as impactful for them as Brouillard's and Desjardins' have been for her during her career.

Petition for Rehearing Denied July 20, 1967.
Mr. Edward B. Beale, Washington, D. C., with whom Mr. William R. Trenor, Washington, D. C., was on the brief, for appellants.
Mr. Joseph Schimmel, Sol., U. S. Patent Office, submitted on the brief, for appellee.
Before BAZELON, Chief Judge, and DANAHER and BURGER, Circuit Judges.
Appellant Swart was denied a patent as to certain claims in his applications which are a continuation in part of an application filed on November 2, 1945. The contested claims involve the use of a liquid castable polysulfide rubber in the manufacture of a solid rocket fuel. Following trial, the District Court filed findings of fact and conclusions of law and entered judgment for appellee.
Appellant did not explicitly disclose the use of a liquid castable polysulfide rubber without the use of a plasticizer in his 1945 application. He did, however, disclose the use of a polysulfide rubber, although his claims apparently contemplated the use of an additional liquid to reduce its viscosity. In December, 1946, one Bartley made application for a patent on a solid rocket fuel wherein he disclosed the use of a liquid polysulfide rubber without plasticizer by its brand name Thiokol.
Appellant contends that the use of a liquid polysulfide rubber without plasticizer would have been obvious to one skilled in the art as of the time his 1945 application was filed. The trial court found "that liquid, castable polysulfide rubbers had become publicly available at the time the [appellant's] 1945 application was filed * * * although they were not common and well known to those skilled in the art * * *." It is elementary that in determining obviousness for purposes of patentability, information or products publicly available are presumed to have come to the attention of one skilled in the art. Walker v. General Motors Corp., 362 F.2d 56, 60 and n.3 (9th Cir. 1966). Here, where the evidence showed that processes for utilizing liquid polysulfide rubbers had been published prior to 1945 in several scientific journals generally available to those in the field, we think the same presumption should prevail in determining the sufficiency of disclosure. See Loom v. Higgins, 105 U.S. 580, 26 L.Ed. 1177 (1881); cf. Application of Bosy, 360 F. 2d 972 (C.C.P.A.1966). Viewed in this light, the quoted finding of the trial court is erroneous because it rests on the belief that one skilled in the art would not be aware of publicly available information. We cannot conclude that this error was harmless and since the District Judge who heard this case has now retired, we reverse and remand for a new trial without reaching other issues presented.
Reversed and remanded.


As if driving a Tesla wasn't different enough already from the cars and trucks we have been wheeling around on the road for decades, how about adding some "Asteroids" to the mix?
That could be in the works, and might soon appear on that iPad-like screen that serves as the control center for all-things-Tesla when you are sitting behind the car's wheel. Tesla Chief Executive Elon Musk even said so Wednesday by way of his preferred method of getting information out to the public, Twitter.
"Some of the best classic @Atari games coming as Easter eggs in Tesla V9.0 release in about 4 weeks. Thanks @Atari!," tweeted Musk.
For those not in the know, "Easter eggs" refers to a hidden bonus feature included in a piece of software, or a DVD, that users have to find on their own. In the case of Tesla, Musk means that a driver (or, for safety reasons, preferably a passenger) will know the games are available, but they will be up to their own devices to find and play them.
And for game developers who are looking for a new gig, well, Musk said to send your resume on over.
You can almost hear the fingers tapping across Tesla in-car screens already, as drivers (or, for safety reasons, preferably passengers) begin that furious search to find "Space Invaders," or whatever games Musk has in store.

Good Shepherd Church at 28th and Kolin ave. was established in 1907 to serve Polish families who had settled south of Ogden ave. and west of Crawford ave. (now Pulaski Rd.). The parish was formed from a portion of St. Mary of Czestochowa Church at 30th St. and 48th Ct. in Cicero, IL, and from part of St. Casimir Church at 22nd and Whipple St. in Chicago.
After the turn of the century, the South Lawndale neighborhood developed rapidly. In 1902, the Douglas Park branch of the Metropolitan West Side Elevated Railway was built to Pulaski rd. and by 1907, it had been extended to Cicero ave. In 1903, the Western Electric Company was relocated from its Loop location at Congress and Clinton St. to 22nd and Cicero Ave. in Hawthorne (now Cicero), IL. Efforts at organizing this national parish began in 1906 when a group of Poles met at Biesiada's Inn at 2801 S. Kostner Ave. A committee was formed and its members presented a petition for a parish to Archbishop James E. Quigley. The Archbishop did not give his immediate approval; instead, he encouraged the committee to return to the neighborhood and to begin house-tohouse collections for a church. For the next year, these energetic laymen raised money among the 100 Polish families who had settled in the area and in 1907, Archbishop Quigley officially established Good Shepherd parish. He also granted a loan of $4,000.
In June 1907, the Archbishop appointed Rev. Alexander Jung as pastor of the new parish while retaining his duties as pastor of St. Mary of Gostyn Church in Downers Grove, IL. (now in the Joliet diocese). For nearly a year, he commuted each Sunday from his country parish to the city via the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy railroad. Ten lots on the 2700 block of S. Kolin Ave. were purchased for the new parish. With the assistance of Rev. Adalbert Furman, pastor of St. Casimir 4 parish, a frame hail was acquired from a Swedish Protestant congregation and this structure was moved on rollers from 28th and Kostner Ave. to 28th and Kolin Ave. For the next five years, this building served as Good Shepherd Church. The new national parish was located within the boundaries of the territorial (English-speaking) parish of Epiphany which had been established in 1901 at 25th and Keeler Ave. In 1908, Father Jung was relieved of his Downers Grove parish and he turned his attention to organizing Polish Catholics who lived at the western edge of the city. In 1910, the Felician Sisters opened a parish school in a portion of the frame church. Under Father Jung's leadereship, the present rectory was constructed in 1912 at 2719 S. Kolin Ave. At the same time, a combination church, convent, and school structure was built at 2733 S. Kolin Ave. This brick building, which still serves as the school, was completed according to plans drawn up by the architectural firm of Worthmann & Steinbach. Following the opening of the new quarters. The old frame ediface was turned Into a parish hail.
After the United States declared war on Germany on Apr. 6, 1917, Camp Fort Dodge was established in the 2600 block of Kostner Ave. and Camp Grant was opened in the 2700 block of Kostner Ave. With so many men stationed in the army camps, area businesses thrived and parishioners enjoyed the nightly concerts sponsored by the Army Band.
Father Jung continued to serve as pastor until his death on Oct. 19, 1918; he was a victim of the influenza epidemic which took thousands of lives in Europe) and the United States.
On Nov. 4, 1918, Rev. Francis J. Wojciechowski was appointed pastor of Good Shepherd Church. Prior to this assignment, he had served as pastor of Transfiguration parish on the city's north side.
In 1919, Father Wojciechowski directed the construction of a third story to the parish school which increased the number of classrooms from four to ten. By 1925, 264 students were enrolled under the direction of six Felician Sisters.
Although a building fund for a new church was begun in April 1932, only a small sum was raised during the Depression years. The silver jubilee of the founding of Good Shepherd parish was celebrated on June 26, 1932; at the time, 600 families belonged to the parish.
Following Father Wojciechowski's death on Dec. 18, 1943 at the age of 64, Rev. Alois P. Szczerkowski was appointed pastor. He came to Good Shepherd parish in January 1944 from Chicago Heights, IL., where he had served as pastor of St. Joseph Church. Father Al, as he liked to be called, was appointed a Domestic Prelate with the title Right Reverend Monsignor in August 1957. He was the first American-born priest assigned to head this parish.
At the time of the 50th jubilee of Good Shepherd parish, which was celebrated on Apr. 27, 1958, 1,000 families belonged to the parish and 428 children were enrolled in the school.
To provide modern living quarters for the Felician Sisters, Msgr. Szczerkowski directed the construction of a convent at 2735 S. Kolin Ave., on the site of the old frame meeting hall. For years, the nuns had resided at 2724 S. Kolin Ave. in a house which had belonged to the Thomas Napolski family. The spacious new convent was dedicated on Sept. 24, 1961.
Following Msgr. Szczerkowski's death on Oct. 19, 1963 at the age of 72, Rev. Anthony A. Ziober was appointed pastor. Prior to this assignment, he had served as an assistant at the Polish parish of SS. Peter and Paul.
Under Father Ziober's leadership, plans for a new church were finalized. On Dec. 3, 1967, ground at the northeast corner of 28th and Kolin ave. was broken and Mass in the new structure was celebrated for the first time on Christmas Eve 1968. Chester Tobolski designed the modern brick edifice which was dedicated in imposing ceremonies on Nov. 23, 1969 by John Cardinal Cody.
Although school enrollment had been as high as 444 students in 1965, only 335 children were enrolled by 1973. This drop in enrollment came at the same time that costs of operating a parish school increased.
Following Father Ziober's death on May 19, 1974, Rev. Norbert J. Lulinski was appointed administrator. Father Lulinski was well acquainted with the parish, having served as associate pastor since 1962.
Since its founding, Good Shepherd has been a national parish serving Polish families who live in the territory bounded by Ogden ave. on the north; the Sanitary and Ship Canal on the south; the railroad tracks at Cicero Ave. on the west; and Central Park Ave. on the east. Of the 900 families who now belong to the parish, 25% are Hispanic. In 1978, 274 children were enrolled in the parish school under the direction of five Felician Sisters and five lay teachers.
Under Father Lulinski's leadership, the religious education program for Catholic children enrolled in public schools has been updated and a children's liturgy has been initiated. The pastor works with any group that aims at bringing the parish community together; to this end, the parish auditorium has been opened up for meetings of neighborhood civic groups. Active parish organizations include the Good Shepherd School Board, Holy Name Society, Mothers' Club, Rosary Guild, Ushers' Club, and Lectors' Club.
Rev. Alexander Krzywosz is associate pastor. Stanley Cebrzynski, the first permanent deacon to be ordained from the parish, now serves at Mercy hospital.

For our next #volunteerspotlight, we are proud to highlight Vicki Barrett, a volunteer entering her 8th year with CASA! In those 8 years she has advocated for about 30 children.
Who are you when you're not operating in your CASA role?
My tenure with CASA began after I retired from Special Education, but since then I helped my husband start his own company, Barrett Fencing. I have enjoyed employment at Wall Residences, Region 2000 Workforce Center, and Lynchburg City Schools. I recently became a member of the Hill City Master Gardeners which allows me to work with fellow gardeners and kids in a variety of our community's gardens. I also enjoy time usually spent making and eating good food, with the big family that I am so lucky to have.
I met an advocate for a student in my past role as a Special Education Coordinator. Soon after that, a colleague of mine expressed an interest in becoming a CASA upon retirement, but she lost her fight to breast cancer before she was able to fulfill that goal. Years later when I moved to Lynchburg, inspired by my colleague, I completed training and was sworn in as a CASA.
Is there a case that particularly stands out to you?
As a fairly new CASA I was given the opportunity to advocate for four siblings who were removed from the care of their parents. All of the children were in elementary school at the time. These siblings were very devoted to each other and principled, despite the hardships and trauma they had experienced. We shared many good times together. They were able to remain together in the custody of a relative. Their strength will forever be an inspiration to me. The oldest of them just graduated from high school and will be attending college in the fall.


Following the integration of T-Mobile Traffic GmbH into the T-Mobile International holding, the company is now presenting telematics solutions from a single source for the first time at the 60th IAA (the International Automobile Exhibition) 2003 in Frankfurt, Germany -- from the traffic telematics SIM card to logistics applications.
Orientation aid based on mobile communications: T-Mobile NaviGate is an innovative navigation system which directs users to their destination, avoiding traffic jams. Mobile phones, currently the two Nokia models 7650 and 3650, and the T-Mobile MDA work as mobile "pilots."
Brand new on the MDA: The large display allows the route to be shown not only with directional arrows, but also with a dynamic road map. The map shows not only the route itself, but also the surrounding area and gives tips about interesting points along the way. Another plus point: T-Mobile MDA and NaviGate are already capable of guiding drivers through the Netherlands, France, Austria, Belgium, Italy, and Switzerland. The list of countries is set to grow.
T-Mobile NaviGate BlueKit is the wireless version for Bluetooth-compatible mobile phones. Navigation is currently possible with two Nokia models. Other mobile phones from other manufacturers will follow. With the forthcoming software version, set to be launched in the fall of this year, the flexible mobile phones will also be able to find their way outside Germany. In order to make the service available to as many customers as possible, the portfolio of NaviGate compatible terminals will continuously be expanded.
Automated, in-vehicle systems, which report emergencies, even if the driver is not capable, and therefore shorten the process for the emergency services, have been available in Germany for some time. T-Mobile Traffic now offers the so-called "E-Call" throughout Europe. A multimedia simulation presents the internationalization of the system.
Attractive Mobile Office solutions, the rolling office, tailored terminals for key account customers, tracking services for vehicles -- all these services are on offer at the IAA.
