After a series of flops, the success of 2012 has put John Cusack back in the mainstream.
He may have shot Will Smith to fame and fortune, but Roland Emmerich knows that his films' spectacular action—primarily the destruction of famous U.S. landmarks—has more pull than a megastar. As the director of such films as Independence Day and The Day After Tomorrow, Emmerich has slyly leaned toward character actors and genre stars to headline his movies: recognizable people, certainly, but not necessarily the kind of names that guarantee a massive opening weekend. Having floundered at the box office with the completely star-less 2008 prehistoric epic 10,000 B.C., Emmerich has landed another hit with 2012, a return to both his disaster-movie roots and his technique of shying away from the conventional action hero, tapping John Cusack to play the divorced father of two kids who rushes to save his family from certain doom.
Conventionally, Cusack is known as a romantic comedy star, having made his name in the 1980's off of projects like The Sure Thing, Better Off Dead... and Cameron Crowe's Say Anything... (currently celebrating its 20th anniversary). Over time, Cusack gained more traction as a dramatic actor, appearing in Clint Eastwood's adaptation of Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil and the Hitler drama Max, but the actor still stuck to his strengths through the 90's and into the 21st century with projects like Grosse Pointe Blank and High Fidelity. In general, his strategy has proven more "reliable" than "bankable", with these older movies settling in the range of about $25 million (unadjusted for inflation).
Recently, the actor has been branching out a bit, appearing wide-ranging films like the Stephen King thriller 1408, Harold Ramis' violent, pitch-black comedy The Ice Harvest and the family dramedy The Martian Child. The shake-up proved moderately successful, bringing Cusack's average gross closer to $50 million, but the actor's last two live-action projects, the Iraq military tearjerker Grace is Gone and War, Inc., a spritual Grosse Pointe Blank sequel, earned only $50,899 and $580,862 at the box office, respectively. Since then, he voiced the title character in the animated comedy Igor, which racked up a modest $19.5 million, and it seems unlikely that Cusack—"reliable" rather than "bankable"—would be desperate for a hit, but now that 2012 ranks among the year's most successful movies, thing may change for Cusack.
Cusack only has one other pure action movie under his belt, the 1997 Jerry Bruckheimer production Con Air, which grossed $101 million domestically (approximately $160 million when adjusted for inflation) -- the highest box-office take on the actor's resume and the only project of his to break $100 million. But Con Air had the benefit of co-star John Malkovich and headliner Nicolas Cage to take the weight off of Cusack's shoulders, begging the question: will casting against type work out?
"I think producers are realizing it's more fun to cast an 'everyman' as the lead in an action film rather than a buff action hero who only a small percentage of the population can relate to," says Jenelle Riley, National Film & Television Editor for Back Stage magazine.
No doubt Emmerich, busy handling the massive technical challenge of mounting a film like 2012, appreciates not having to worry about his lead. Even if the audience won't rush to see a John Cusack film, his career lacks most of the massive peaks and valleys most performers experience over the same amount of time, and he probably doesn't demand much of Emmerich's time.
2012 will easily become more successful than Con Air, but it also seems unlikely to increase (or decrease) Cusack's modest but healthy relationship with audiences (2010's R-rated comedy Hot Tub Time Machine, with Chevy Chase and Pineapple Express co-star Craig Robinson, will probably prove to be a better calling card). Meanwhile, Cusack looks for more projects, hinting to website io9 that he would be interested in playing the villain in the adaptation of Garth Ennis' violent, darkly-funny comic book Preacher, which director Sam Mendes is attached to. For some actors, a bleak role would be a risky proposition, but in tough financial times, compared to traditional box-office behemoths that add millions to a movie's bottom line, Cusack represents something better than audience pull: a safe bet.


Understand how the Registrar Lock option works and how it will help you safeguard your domain name.
All generic domain extensions and several country-code ones support a security lock functionality whose function is to block unauthorized transfers of existing domains. Many domain name registry operators that supervise country-code TLDs that don't support this feature are in the process of introducing it for the sake of safety and for the convenience of the domain name owners. A domain name can be transferred only on the condition that it is unlocked and only a person who has been given access to the account with the current domain name registrar can do that. New domain names are registered with the lock feature enabled on purpose, so as to impede any unauthorized transfer attempts. The lock feature is one of the security measures for regulating the transfer of existing domains between domain registrars that have been introduced over the years.
If you purchase a shared website hosting from our company, you will be able to manage all domain names registered through us via our Hepsia hosting Control Panel and you'll be able to unlock any of them with only a couple of clicks. All registrations will be shown in alphabetical order in the Domain Manager section of the Control Panel and for each one of them you'll see a mini padlock symbol. Clicking on it will show you the present security lock status. If the domain name is locked and you would like to transfer it away, you will just have to click for the second time and you'll be all set. Locking a domain name is just as easy and since the domains are administered in the exact same place as the web hosting account itself, you won't have to log in and out of different systems.
Administering your domain names with us is amazingly easy and the registrar lock option is not an exception. If you have a semi-dedicated server account, you'll be able to administer the domain names registered through our company using the exact same Control Panel via which you'll manage your hosting account. For the sake of convenience, the domains will be listed in alphabetical order and on the right-hand side you'll see a padlock-like icon if the given domain name supports the registrar lock feature. If you click the icon, you'll find out if the particular domain is locked or not and you will be able to update this status by clicking once more. The status will be changed straight away and you'll be able to start the domain transfer without having to wait for the update to be shown on WHOIS lookup sites or for our company to do anything on our end.


It's no surprise that kids love to snack, and while snacking can be part of a healthy diet, the types of snacks consumed are a variable that needs to be highly considered.
Although recent data show that consumers are more interested in snacks that provide a balance of healthy and indulgent options, previous research showed that more than 27 percent of children's daily calories are coming from snacks, and desserts and sweetened beverages are the major sources of these calories.
While sweet treats can absolutely have a place in the diet, there are many good reasons to eat less of them. Consumption of added sugars is associated with increased body weight, cavities and risk of type 2 diabetes and heart disease.
When choosing packaged snack foods, be sure to read the ingredients list to check for sources of added sugars. Some ingredients to watch out for include cane sugar, dextrose, fructose, corn syrup, brown rice syrup, fruit juice concentrate, honey, molasses and evaporated cane juice. Any ingredient with "syrup" or "sugar" is a type of added sugar.
Snacking among children isn't going to stop anytime soon, so the goal isn't to eliminate snacks. Rather, it's important to improve snack options and provide children with snacks that fill in the nutrition gaps for the day. For example, pack a serving of dairy for a mid-morning snack and include vegetables in an afterschool snack to account for missing food groups during in the day.
During the school year, keep in mind that the most nutritious and satiating snacks are those that include some combination of complex carbohydrates, lean protein and healthy fats. It's important to remember that snacks are not replacements for meals and should not be too big, otherwise children will not be hungry at mealtime or they will consume too many calories for the day. Snacks are also not treats, so steer clear of snack foods loaded with added sugar and opt for ones made of whole foods instead.
Combine unseasoned popcorn, sunflower and pumpkin seeds, dried fruit, and cacao nibs or mini dark chocolate chips.
Use a mandoline to thinly slice apples and toss with lemon juice to prevent browning. Arrange apples on a plate and add toppings, such as low-fat plain yogurt, peanut butter, crushed nuts, mini dark chocolate chips, shredded coconut and ground flaxseed.
Roasted chickpeas with a piece of whole fruit (apple, banana, pear) is an easy, balanced snack to take on the go. There are many brands of roasted chickpeas, or you can make your own. Drain, rinse and pat dry a can of low-sodium chickpeas. Toss with olive oil and herbs or spices of choice and spread in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast in the oven at 400 degrees F, stirring occasionally, until chickpeas are dry and crispy, about 35 to 40 minutes. Let the chickpeas cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
Top low-fat plain yogurt or cottage cheese with two to three healthy toppings, such as fresh fruit, whole grain cereal, crushed nuts, seeds or ground flaxseed.
Arrange sliced cucumbers, bell peppers, baby carrots, shelled edamame and cherry tomatoes on a plate with cheese, hummus, nut butter, or a yogurt-based dip.
Blend fresh or frozen fruit with low-fat plain yogurt or kefir, a drizzle of honey, and ground flaxseed or nut butter.


It is a day of celebration for Norwich Theatre Royal as it announces its best financial results ever.
Guests at its annual celebration of success – Centre Stage – have been told today (November 10) that it has produced its best-ever operating surplus of over £700,000 before depreciation, which will provide the final injection of funding to pay for the capital costs of the theatre's Stage Two learning and participation centre.
It will also give the theatre the chance to forge ahead with plans to increase the breadth and ambition of its artistic programming and expand and put more focus on its learning and participation work.
• Dance which includes Norwich Theatre Royal becoming part of the Dance Consortium, enabling high-quality and large-scale international dance to become a key year-round addition to the programme. The first two pieces coming to the city will be the Norwich debut of world-renowned dancer Carlos Acosta and his new company Acosta Danza, and a visit from the Brooklyn-based Mark Morris Dance Group, presenting their Beatles-inspired piece Pepperland. There will also be some ambitious dance work at Norwich Playhouse including Protein Dance's Border Tales which focuses on life in post-Brexit Britain through the eyes of a multicultural cast, and 201 Dance Company's Skin which follows a boy's journey through gender transition.
• Drama which includes National Theatre, Chichester Festival Theatre and Headlong returning to the Theatre Royal with This House, their ferociously funny flashback to Westminster in 1974, and the return of the critically-acclaimed Watermill Theatre Company who will present more of their inventive takes on Shakespeare's classic works. Also coming to Norwich Playhouse is Wardrobe Ensemble's Education, Education, Education which chronicles life at a Nineties comprehensive mixing irreverent humour and inventive theatricality.
• Classical Music which will include regular visits from professional symphony orchestras including a performance by the world-renowned Hallé Orchestra.
Stephen Crocker, the theatre's chief executive, said: "It is a tribute to the experience, skills, resilience and boundless energy of the staff and volunteers of the Theatre Royal and Norwich Playhouse that we have achieved our best business results ever as well as the phenomenal loyalty of our audiences.
"A significant development in this financial year was the completion of our new purpose-built £3.5m learning and participation centre. This important project has seen a whole new area of work and ambition for the Theatre Royal open up and has further cemented learning and participation at the core of our mission.
Within Stage Two, this will mean a growing programme of new work and projects. In January, it will host its second Creative Matters season which aims to break down barriers and give people the chance to look at important issues creatively within a safe space. The next one will focus on men's mental health and include an audience with Nimmo Twin Karl Minns talking about his own anxiety battles, and Small Nose Productions presenting I Had A Black Dog which focuses on a man's battle with depression and is based on the novel by Matthew Johnstone.
The theatre's youth company is also going to bring the classic musical Grease to the stage next summer. The all-American love story set at Rydell High and featuring iconic songs including You're The One That I Want and Summer Lovin' will be a great chance for young people to bring a famous musical to the stage through learning the skills to act and sing in the cast dance in the ensemble and also to form the production crew for the show.
The celebration of that work will continue with a showcase at the Playhouse entitled Take Part Presents which will feature drama created by younger acting students and some of the Limelighters group which works with those aged 50-plus on dance, drama and creative writing projects.
The theatre's artistic strategy will be bolstered through closer working with Norwich Playhouse, developing joint, complementary programming as well as sharing expertise and knowledge between the venues on-stage and off.
The Centre Stage event coincides with the online publication of the theatre's annual survey which sets out the performances and highlights of the 2016/17 year.
It shows the Theatre Royal presented 409 performances of 91 separate productions and sold just under 400,000 tickets, an average seating capacity of 76 per cent.
Highlights included high-quality drama like the hugely-popular Hobson's Choice starring Norwich Theatre Royal favourite Martin Shaw, the epic National Theatre of Scotland trilogy The James Plays which chronicled a turbulent period of history in the 15th century north of the border, and A Midsummer Night's Dream: A Play For The Nation which featured a cast drawn from the Royal Shakespeare Company and local amateur theatre group The Common Lot.
The theatre is also punching its weight in comparison to 14 other theatres around the UK of a similar size and type. The total annual number of seats sold of 399,792 is around 106,000 more than the average and its 76 per cent capacity achieved dwarfs the survey average of 64 per cent.
The number of Friends of the Theatre also compares favourably with the rest of the country. It totals 11,135, well above the national average of 2655.
Norwich Eye will continue to support our leading Norwich theatre with regulars reviews and previews and special insights into what makes the theatre work so well. Some of the changes instituted by new Chief Executive Stephen Crocker have already been enjoyed by capacity audiences, such as the well-received visit of the 87 strong St Petersburg Symphony Orchestra in October, who gave us a sparkling evening of works by Prokofiev, Rachmaninov and Rimsky Korsakov from an impressive orchestra that filled every available inch of the Theatre Royal stage. The enthusiasm of the audience for that concert suggests that Stephen Crocker is leading the theatre in the direction that is right for Norwich. Our fine city is fortunate in having a variety of venues that host the best of current music and drama in a range of venues, with small cutting edge and innovative dramas at the Norwich Arts Centre, an increasingly diverse offer from Norwich Playhouse and some of the most prestigious national and international touring productions at the Theatre Royal. We are also blessed with some rare specialist organisations such as the Puppet Theatre and the Oak Circus Centre and strong community theatre groups such as Crude Apache and Common Lot who all present high quality and entertaining productions.


Is your skin painful to touch? Do your clothes cause fibromyalgia pain? This is a common symptom for people with fibromyalgia. Bras, waistbands, even ties on bathrobes...anything that puts pressure on your chest or abdomen can set off burning or intense, stabbing pains. Clothes can cause pain all over, on your tender points, and on areas that are numb or tingly.
Here are some tips for dressing when you're dealing with pain from clothing.
Unless you want to wear long, flowy dresses all the time, you've got to find ways to spare your waist from all of those waistbands. There are several ways to get around this.
Pitch the Pantyhose and Buy Thigh-Highs: Forget control tops. They might feel okay when you put them on, but the last thing your body wants is to be squeezed for hours on end. Thigh-highs keep your legs looking nice while keeping your midsection much happier.
Go Low: When it comes to underwear, try bikini briefs that sit down on your hips instead of the fuller styles that go clear up to your waist. And while you may not like the thought of low-rise pants that expose your belly button, try on a pair to see how much kinder they are to your gut. For those of us who don't want to bare all that skin, a long shirt can cover your midsection nicely.
Do the Sit Test: When you try on pants, don't just stand in front of the mirror. Sit down. Slouch. Lean forward. If they're still comfortable, you've got a winner.
Venture into the Maternity Section: I'm not talking about those horrid pants with the big baggy section in front, but about the ones with the "underbelly" band. It's a nice wide band at the top that's designed to sit lower on an expanding belly. For the non-pregnant, these pants are just an incredibly comfortable way to go.
Draw-String vs. Elastic: When it comes to sweatpants, a drawstring wins out over an elastic waistband because it's adjustable. If your weight fluctuates or you eat a lot while wearing them, you can give yourself a little more room. True, the elastic will stretch, but you'll find it puts more pressure on you when it does. Some people have luck with loosening or removing the elastic.
Lounging About: Let's face it. Some days, clothes are just out of the question. A lot of us have spent entire days, maybe even weeks in attire most people consider only appropriate for sleeping. For those times, try a bathrobe with a zipper instead of a tie. Also, a lot of pajamas these days are shirts with pants or shorts. A nightgown is kinder to your body, but of course, your legs might get cold. Consider leg warmers to help with the chill.
Soft-Cup Bras: Even if you're a larger size, you can find soft-cup bras that will give you support. Check out the selection at a specialty shop or a plus-size boutique. Also, get a bra fitting. Most women don't wear the right size, and a too-tight band is doing you no favors. Look for wide shoulder straps as well since they don't dig into the shoulders like thinner straps often do.
Sports Bras: As long as they're not too tight, sports bras are comfortable and put far less of a squeeze around your rib cage. They also hold everything right in place.
Bralettes or Bandeaus: If you're smaller, one of these styles might be the way to go. A bralette is an unlined soft-cup bra that's designed for comfort. It's most popular among teenagers because it doesn't provide much lift. A bandeau is basically a tube of fabric that goes around your chest. Again, the support isn't the best, but it won't poke you anywhere and cause pain.
Some people also prefer shirts with the tags printed on the fabric instead of sewn in.
Ah, that elastic dilemma again. This is a tough one since many people with fibromyalgia seem to have chronically cold feet, but no one wants loose, sloppy socks bagging around their ankles. So what can you do?
Experiment with length: Look at where your socks hurt you and see if a different length will miss those spots.
Try thinner fabric: A heavy sock will put more pressure on your foot when you wear shoes. Thinner might be better.
Look into socks made for people with diabetes: Our pain has a lot in common with diabetic neuropathy, so this makes a lot of sense. "Sensitive foot" socks are widely available online and at specialty shoe stores.
Lastly, if you're in the privacy of your own home, take off everything that's not comfortable and find something that is. The UPS guy has seen it all, and you'll feel better for it. And really, isn't that the most important thing?

These days I was troubleshooting a Hyper-V cluster and came across a good article about how failover clustering recovers from unresponsive resource and I wanted to explain a little bit how the failover clustering communicates with cluster resources and how it detects and recovers when something goes wrong.
For each clustered Virtual Machine , a cluster "Virtual Machine" resource is created that controls the VM. The cluster resource that is created and its resource DLL communicates with the VMMS (Virtual Machine Management Service) service which tells the VM when to start, stop and it's also checking the virtual machine state. All these resources run in a failover cluster component which is called Resource Hosting Subsystem(RHS).
RHS is responsible for making sure that cluster resources are working properly by making constantly health checks. There are two types of health checks that RHS is doing: LooksAlive which happens every 5 seconds and it's a quick light check, and if this one fails there is the second check IsAlive that happens every 60 seconds. If the IsAlive check fails, then the resource is considered failed.
RHS waits 5 minutes for a resource to answer, value that is configured with DeadlockTimeOut property, and if the resource is not answering RHS needs to take a recovery action to get it back up and running. The resource will be up and running again after the RHS process is terminated, and restarted which will determin the resource to restart also. The Event IDs related to these actions are 1230 "Cluster resource 'Resource Name' (resource type 'Resource Type Name', DLL 'DLL Name') did not respond to a request in a timely fashion. Cluster health detection will attempt to automatically recover by terminating the Resource Hosting Subsystem (RHS) process running this resource." and 1146 "The cluster Resource Hosting Subsystem (RHS) stopped unexpectedly. An attempt will be made to restart it. This is usually associated with recovery of a crashed or deadlocked resource. ".
Elden Christensen has a great and more detailed blog post on how failover clustering recovers from unresponsive resource.
Hi, I've read somewhere that you can also have each VM run in a different RHS resource. Is this smart to do? What is the impact of doing this? Is this only for 2012R2 or also for 2016?

With no fingerprints or identification, the strange man presents himself as a new patient—whom the resident psychiatrist isn't quite sure how to assess. As the psychiatrist tries to pin down the man's identity and motive for admitting himself to the facility, the viewers are taken on a tense excursion. The Laughing Man is a joker themed fan film inspired by the events in the recent Batman story "Death of the Family".
I was curious about this because I really like the concept of the Joker. My brother knew it so he sent me the link. It was very different than what I was expecting but it really got me curious about the New 52.I haven't really read enough to be knowledgeable about it. Before I saw this, I didn't think I would be. One of the things I've always liked about the Batman Rogues Gallery was that they were only villains that could arguably be horror villains. This was the proof. I was really intrigued by the portrayal of the Joker, because he really didn't seem like he was criminally insane to me. But rather he was a personification of evil. As subdued as the actor was, there was this sense of him guiding along Harley like a vampire would one of their victims. It is, however, not for the faint of heart. It's the most violent version that I have ever seen. It's the perfect psychological thriller short.

I have an application with the following architecture: 2 web roles (MVC3 and ASP.NET with Silverlight RIA) => Business layer => data layer (external services / table storage / SQL Azure).
ASP.NET services (profile/roles/sessions) are stored in Table Storage.
Due to recent requirement changes, a mobile site needed to be added. I wanted to share the (server side) ViewModels for both GUI projects. To illustrate:

My problem
I now get the dreaded "Not Found" exception when my project is hosted in the Windows Azure environment. With fiddler I found that it was returning the following exception:

The Entity 'XXModel' in DomainService 'XXService' does not
  have a key defined. Entity types exposed by DomainService operations
  must have at least one public property marked with the KeyAttribute.

The strange thing is that this thing runs flawlessly in the local Azure development environment, but not when uploaded into the cloud. I think that this error has something to do with the ViewModels now being in a different assembly than the RIA Services, but why would it work locally and not remotely?
If anyone needs any supplemental information I will be happy to answer your questions.

A: I have solved the problem. It seems that RIA Services, only when hosted in Windows Azure, cannot seem to get the attributes off of model classes defined in a different assembly then the one hosting the services.

A: Does your entity have a Property marked with the [Key] attribute? e.g.:
public class WidgetDef
{
    [Key]
    public int WidgetId { get; set; }

    public string Title { get; set; }
}

This is necessary for the types used with RIA DomainServices - as stated in the error message in your question.
Although I don't know why it would work on a development environment and not in a real environment one.

Dating Services Sf Bay Area
In hot dating services sf bay area and humid conditions, and sometimes during torrential downpours, the team observed dozens of termite mounds over the course of the search. Such processes are much slower than the dithering proton motion and occur on a time scale of a few picoseconds. Thirty-six teenage female soccer players who play at a competitive level from three soccer clubs dating brad garrett linda in Frankfurt participated in the study. "But we managed to discover a new property of supercooled water," Szydagis said. "So, that's what we're doing with National Period Day … we're mobilizing rallies in all 50 states and major cities. The researchers mimic this structure in their photodetector by having two silicon nanowires -- each about 100 nanometers in diameter or about 1/1000th as wide as a hair -- lined up next to each other, like the gecko's eardrums.

"The startling differences between AT2 and AT1 ligand pockets that we see now will help us to have a fresh start on designing smaller, more drug-like molecules that are tailored to fit the AT2 receptor, which could set the drug discovery process in a different direction.

The researchers had measured the release of greenhouse gases from incubated soil samples, which originated in field sites in Alaska, Canada and Russia, under a temperature increase of 10 degrees Celsius. "Our findings offer physicians a guide -- based on the genetic profile of the disease and certain clinical factors -- to identifying patients for whom a transplant is appropriate, and the intensity of treatment most likely to be effective." "In practice, the stimuli received by the patients are perceived more strongly and carry more information because they are composed of two modalities; touch and hearing," says Max Ortiz Catalan.

SA keeps watch on Kenya's elections
Pretoria - As Kenyans vote in the first elections under that country's new constitution, South African Deputy Minister of International Relations and Cooperation, Ebrahim Ebrahim, has reiterated the call for peaceful, fair and democratic elections in that country.
At a media briefing on Monday, Ebrahim said South Africa would watch closely the developments of the elections, stressing that neither the continent nor Kenyans could afford failed elections.
"In recalling the positive developments that have taken place in Kenya since 2007, the South African government hopes that the elections will contribute to the consolidation of democracy and wishes the people of Kenya successful, peaceful and democratic elections," said Ebrahim.
Ebrahim indicated that South African officials, under the African Union Election Observation Mission, and various other accredited monitoring teams are participating in monitoring the elections.
Today's elections are the first under Kenya's new constitution, promulgated in 2010. After the last general elections in 2007, inter-ethnic clashes and police violence left about 1 300 people dead and 650 000 displaced.
The AU had to strike a power sharing deal between the two contenders President Mwai Kibaki and Prime Minister Raila Odinga.
A new constitution was made, which saw the reform of the judiciary and the establishment of a new Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC).
According to local media in Kenya, some 14.3 million voters lined up to vote in the process that kicked off countrywide at 6am. Voting is expected to end at 5pm.
Voters will also elect 47 senators, 47 governors and other officials in the general election.
The IEBC has set up 33 000 polling stations across the country and about 99 000 police officers have been deployed all over the country.
Eight candidates are competing for the presidency. The leading presidential candidates, Coalition for Reform and Democracy's Raila Odinga, and the candidate of Jubilee Alliance, Uhuru Kenyatta, are locked in a tight presidential contest.
Reports also indicate that at least 14 people have been killed in the last 24 hours in separate incidents in Kenya's Indian Ocean port city Mombasa and northern region.
Inspector General of Police, David Kimaiyo, told journalists in Nairobi that six policemen and six members of the secessionist group, the Mombasa Republic Council (MRC), were killed in Mombasa while two civilians died in the northern town of Garissa.
Kimaiyo said 400 more police officers have been airlifted to the coastal region to reinforce security in the region where the MRC is charging that the coastal people's rights to land and property ownership have been violated.
"We are reinforcing security in the coastal province and all other hotspot areas. About 400 officers are being flown to Mombasa this morning. All police officers are under firm instructions to be keen and on the lookout for any assailants," the police chief said.
Kenya is currently a champion of regional infrastructure projects like the rail, road and oil pipeline projects planned to originate from the Lamu Port in the coastal region and link to Ethiopia, South Sudan and Uganda.
Any sort of election related violence will raise the risk profile of the country and make it harder to attract investors for such mega projects. – SAnews.gov.za-Xinhua

Building a membership website homepage requires some strategy if it's to succeed in getting a visitor to become a subscriber.
Membership homepages need content designed to introduce, inform, build trust, peak interest and prompt the subscription of a visitor. Depending on the type of site you're building, you might include all the outlined elements or just a few.
The first element most people add to their website is a logo. While it's important to convey a brand identity, it shouldn't be a focal point.
Avoid a large logo which typically creates a lot of empty space in the navigation area and pushes the banner below the fold. Unless you're a name brand, your logo won't inspire a visitor to sign up so keep your logo modest in size.
Limit your navigation links to no more than six otherwise the header will appear crowded. Non-essential links like About and Contact can be placed in the footer.
Your banner is the first point of engagement for a visitor as it's 'above the fold'. This means it's the content that first fills the screen. Here's where you need to make an impact and capture a visitor's interest.
Use a high-quality, appealing image. Make sure you've compressed the file so it loads quickly and doesn't 'dribble' down the screen.
Your banner headline needs to connect with and inspire your audience AND be compelling enough to convince a visitor to keep scrolling. Exercise "power words" to motivate your audience to convert.
Use the subhead, to promote, inform and convince your visitor.
Anchor the text with a call to action button to trigger further action. Link it to your subscribe, store or learn more page.
A showcase section allows you to highlight 3 or 4 key benefits of membership. Keep the text succinct yet descriptive. Be sure to include the relevant keywords you wish to be searchable for as this is vital for SEO.
Consider introducing each feature with a representative icon. This serves the dual purpose of adding visual interest while drawing attention to each benefit. Icons help to reinforce your message.
Use this space to make an impression about your service, product, team & philosophy. Share your story and peak a visitor's interest enough that they will scroll further.
Fitness coaches should spotlight member stories. Include before and after photos to provide authenticity and advertise membership results.
Member endorsements help to build trust and online authority. Consider featuring 2 to 4 member recommendations on the homepage of your membership website.
Samples can be in the form of online tutorials, downloads, workouts or the article content you offer. This provides the opportunity for a visitor to have a sneak peek at your member content and a way for you to engage with your visitors.
Having a mix of member and non-member content is essential as Google doesn't index content behind paywalls.
Offer a monthly newsletter to capture the email of interested visitors who may not be ready to commit but are potential future members.
Hook your visitor at the bottom of your page with a call to action button linking to your subscribe page or with a grouping of your subscription plans outlining your membership options.
Remember to keep the page structure simple and clean. Don't overload your website homepage with images and text. White space allows the page to breathe and the visitor to focus.
Finally, pay attention to the colors you employ as every hue triggers specific emotions and can impact conversion.
Are you ready now to get started building your own membership website homepage? Head over to subhub.com and open a free 14 day trial.


Never trusted U.S. Constitution, fiery rebel in youth.
Patrick Henry, a proponent of revolution was a fiery orator who uttered the famous slogan "Give me liberty or give me death!" He was among the earliest to call for military mobilization of the colonies. HHenry's anti-federalist views caused him to oppose adoption of the Constitution in 1787. He served twice as governor of Virginia.

The Best of Fort Lauderdale

Old Lauderdale
Extra-large Italian

PHOTOGRAPHY: Lauderdale Marine Center.
One of the premier yacht builders in Italy and the world has massively expanded its presence in Fort Lauderdale.
One of the Fort Lauderdale yachting world's biggest players is getting some Italian flavor. Lauderdale Marine Center, the sprawling complex to the east of I-95 on the New River's south fork, recently made room for a big tenant's expanded presence – the center is now the North American headquarters for the Ferretti Group.
The Italian yachting giant's LMC expansion gives it 30,000 square feet of space including a parts and service shop, other workshops, covered sheds, dockage and office space, as well as 16 in- and out-of-water slips. Much of the expansion is based around Ferretti's plan to offer a one-stop-shop servicing department.
"We decided to perform all of our warranty and servicing during the warranty period or after the warranty period directly, and give all of our customers an experience that none of our competitors can give," says Stefano de Vivo, Ferretti's chief commercial officer. "As we were making plans, looking for space, where to do it, the team at the Lauderdale Marine Center came up and offered us a very interesting space both for offices, for warehouse, for resale, for performing work on the boats, and also a number of slips. We thought this was a very bold move we could have made; we decided to take a chance. And it's paying off."
The result is impressive, says Colin Kiley, LMC's executive vice president.
"It's a yard within a yard," he says. "Ferretti's taking this, really, to a new level of customer service."
LMC president Doug West says Ferretti's expanded presence at the center brings something new and somewhat unheard of to the yachting industry.
"Unlike the automotive industry where every dealer has a service department … boatbuilders are just kind of figuring that out," he says. Typically, he says, major yacht builders work with other companies in a boatyard to get warranty work done rather than doing that work themselves, and they don't provide non-warranty service work at all. "This is kind of a new trend," he says.
Offering servicing lets Ferretti deal with what de Vivo calls the stereotype of the foreign boat with no parts – or at least, impossible-to-find parts. Ferretti has moved about $4m in spare parts into the LMC warehouse, he says.
"I think especially when it comes to spare parts, maybe people have had a bad experience because there's no spare parts in a place," he says. That will change now. "You're buying Italian, you're buying foreign, but you're buying something with spare parts as if it's an American-built boat."
However, with all the space LMC offered, Ferretti was able to stock all the parts it needed and still have room for more.
"Because they had such an enormous space available, which was much bigger than what we needed, we decided to take the opportunity to rent the whole space and create warehouses and workshops that are occupied now by our suppliers and subcontractors that have all of the training that the shipyards in Italy have given them to intervene on the boats," de Vivo says. "This has created a center of excellence for our boats."
For LMC, such a massive presence from one of yachting's major players should be a rising tide that, no pun intended, raises all boats. LMC operates as a landlord; all the spaces in the facility are rented out to boating-related companies of different sizes and with different specialties.
"From our perspective, Ferretti is one of the largest yacht builders in the world," West says. "If you have one of the biggest builders that has a following both for warranty work and for regular service work, that is a traffic driver for us."
In recent years, he says, LMC has focused on bringing in a smaller number of larger tenants rather than many smaller ones; they've decreased the number of tenants from 72 to 30.
"It's just a lot more efficient space; there was a lot of wasted space before," West says. "We had a lot of very small spaces where a company may have a small office there just so they could be in the yard. Now we want companies who want to make this their home."
But they still want to offer any service a yacht owner – or a major yacht builder like Ferretti – might need. "We've tried to make sure that we have the core shipyard trades represented, and not just one; we wanted to make sure we have competition like a shopping mall," West says. "We want to be aligned with the most professional companies that can provide the most professional service these yacht owners are looking for."
Even with major in-house capabilities, Ferretti's presence will still mean work for other businesses in LMC and around Fort Lauderdale, Kiley says.
"Ferretti does utilize other contractors both onsite and in town," he says. "They don't do all of their work in-house. There's an awful lot of work that comes through the yard that gets subcontracted to others in the yard and in town."
For de Vivo, that ready supply of potential subcontractors is a big part of Fort Lauderdale's appeal.
"For us, Fort Lauderdale has always been the center of our activity for all of the Americas," he says. "Not just for the US, not just for Florida, not just for North America."

Hw- none as of now.


With the technical boom, programs such as projectfreetv.network became vital sites for entertainment, watch series especially for the individuals who tremendously enjoy series as well as movies.
Sometimes the actual premieres take time to appear on DVD, Blu-Ray or the digital stores in which profit from this fabric. When they do, the interest might have wanted or perhaps, on the contrary, it may increase to be able to such proportions that the consumers look for covert pages.
This poses a risk, both coming from an electronic as well as security and judicial perspective. In many nations, piracy is severely punished with criminal fees that, honestly, are not essential.
In this perception, platforms who have this material arise in a short time and also under jurisdiction. The great leader in the area was, certainly, Netflix. This is quickly joined by HBO, Hulu as well as, much later, Amazon online marketplace Prime.
By means of shared articles in a stream, these buffering sites accessibility series and movies of genres. However, they have a limitation: they can only exhibit those who are authentic content or even whose legal rights have distribution property.
The real difference between these web sites and projectfreetv.network is the membership. While in all of the above it is necessary to finish a record and supply payment info, in this the content is not only available in record time, but also exonerates users from filling out varieties and getting into credit card amounts.
The absence of advertising, another common feature between the big buffering sites and also projectfreetv.network, is a point that ought to be valued. Over and above a pop-up tabs, there are no connected sites or adjacent webpages that could annoy or infect the operating-system of the computer systems.
Projectfreetv.network is definitely an entertainment method that offers exactly what it promises: recent and outdated series and movies, group of categories, the absence of enrollment and zero commitments regarding repayments.
Some may find quieter eliminating for a standard streaming support. After all, the initial material created there remains exclusive before platforms such as projectfreetv.network signature it. However, it should not be denied that the presence of this particular and many some other platforms that work with the same strategy are visited with the same -or perhaps more- frequency.


Brokerage Research Reports - Do You Trust Them?
Do you trust the research reports that brokerages put out? Has anyone ever read one that says "Hit the brakes on this asset class now", or "Sell now its all down hill from here"?
Obviously there is a COI here. I'll be honest, I haven't read a good deal of the research that's published in these reports, but the ones I've glanced over all seem to indicate that there's potential for upside across all asset classes. What's your .02?
Anyone know of any CRE research reports that are published by more impartial sources?
Green Street reports cary almost zero COI. They're an independent sell-side, and do not engage in any investment banking /brokerage practices. I believe they recently launched a new team that covers private markets as well.. would check out their stuff.
Thanks for the source. I had a personal contact also refer me to their research, but I forgot to check it out. Appreciate it.
Also, you're spot on about the COI that brokerage houses carry in terms of their research. Why would they ever slap a "Sell" or negative opinion on a market they are doing a majority of their deals in - would make no sense..
In my experience, the large brokerage houses will tell you whatever you want to hear to get that "listing". Want a 5 CAP for your crap asset in a tertiary market? We'll get it for you!

Tony Gilroy Reveals Why Andor is Saving K-2SO For Season 2
The banter between Diego Luna's Cassian Andor and Alan Tudyk's K-2SO was easily one of the best parts of Rogue One. So when Lucasfilm announced its Andor prequel series on Disney+, many fans were excited to see their characters reunite on the small screen. Unfortunately, the story behind their initial meeting will have to wait, as the show's first season will primarily focus on Cassian's earliest missions with the Rebel Alliance. K-2SO will then make his big return to the Star Wars universe in season 2. And during a stop on the Television Critics Association's latest press tour (via The Hollywood Reporter), showrunner Tony Gilroy discussed why he and his co-writers structured the story this way. Saving K-2SO
Tudyk's involvement with Andor was announced back in 2019. But in 2021, Tudyk confirmed that his reprogrammed Imperial droid wouldn't show up in the first batch of episodes. Gilroy explained that this all boils down to the logistics of having the two characters share every scene together.
"From a storytelling point of view, there are multiple reasons," said Gilroy. "I would say, 'Wait and see.' It's a story we are eager to tell. It's difficult to carry an Imperial droid around with you and not draw all kinds of attention. It's a difficult piece of luggage. When we do it, we'll do it in a spectacular fashion as opposed to presenting it and ignoring it, or presenting it or hiding it, or the bad versions we would have been forced to do."
RELATED: Andor Did Not Use The Mandalorian's StageCraft Technology
Luna, who joined Gilroy on the TCA panel, offered his own explanation for K-2SO's absence. Because the show takes place five years before Rogue One, viewers are expecting to see Cassian experience growth over time. But Luna says if he and K2 knew each other back then, "there would be no journey to go through."
Each of Andor's two seasons will be comprised of 12 episodes. But while the first season only covers one year in Cassian's life, season 2 will cover the next four. Additionally, Gilroy teased that the series' finale will "walk the audience directly into Rogue One and directly into the first scene of Rogue One."
Andor will premiere its first three episodes on Disney+ on Wednesday, September 21.
Will it be strange to see Cassian Andor go on missions without K-2SO tagging along? Tell us what you think in the comment section below!
