We had a really fantastic time at La Mimosa - we reserved but came quite late without even the slightest comment. Drinks arrived within seconds and the two additional seats that we needed added seamlessly. The food was delicious and my pizza world class. Congratulations for this gem in the Cambridge scene.
We had lunch here and it was all fantastic from the moment we arrived until we left! The food was absolutely delicious and the home made pasta was to die for! this coupled with excellent service delivered by Steph made this a superb experience. I would definitely recommend a visit to this "gem of a restaurant". We will certainly return to dine next time we are in Cambridge.
A last minute booking, chosen for the closeness to our hotel. Greeted by a charming barman, who made us two perfect Camparis with fresh orange juice in no time, and soon taken to our table. The restaurant is very nicely set out so that each table seems quite private. The menu was well balanced and interesting, a mix of very traditional Italian dishes and a few more standard modern British. My Crostini starter was very fresh and tangy tomato flavour, my partner's black pudding topped with Goats cheese a delicious combination. My poached salmon with creamy wine sauce was perfectly cooked and my partners tagliatelle very tasty. The service was friendly, cheerful and precise. Altogether a surprisingly good dinner and enjoyable evening.
Another fab visit to Cambridge's best Italian!
I am lucky enough to be able to claim La Mimosa as my local Italian restaurant - and I've really fallen on my feet. This is a lovely place with a real family feel from Don and his team, who are always genuinely pleased to see you.
The restaurant is nicely arranged, with tables of all sizes, and they're far enough from each other that you can have a private conversation. (And the music is not intrusive - a failing in many other places.) There are real tablecloths, comfortable seats and good cutlery.
As for the food, last night our group had three of the specials and one old favourite, and they were all excellent - good, lean meat, excellent fish, and vegetables cooked perfectly.
You would go a long way to find a better restaurant for the money, and what a location - if you're ever in Cambridge, it's more than worth the five-minute walk along the river.
10 family members from Essex and Sheffield visited here for my 70th Birthday meal as we were staying nearby for the weekend, and we were so glad we did. We were made to feel very welcome by the staff especially the lovely waitress and the food was delicious. Pity we live so far away as we would love to visit more. A real gem, thankyou, you made my Birthday a real treat.

Beyond Franklin: Father Mercredi Street
By Dawn Booth | Oct 16, 2019 | Downtown
Fort Chipewyan native becomes Alberta's second First Nations minister
Father Patrick Mercredi played an influential role in the Wood Buffalo region for becoming the second First Nations minister in Alberta's history in 1934. Mercredi was born into the Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation community in 1904 and came from a family of 12 children. By age seven, he went into the Holy Angels Residential School at Fort Chipewyan.
A Residential School Graduate
Holy Angels was one of over 130 residential schools that operated in Canada with a purpose to assimilate Indigenous children into Euro-Canadian culture. According to the Canadian Encyclopedia, residential schools existed in Canada from 1831 and 1996, and the last residential school to close was the Gordon Residential School in Punnichy, Saskatchewan.
History has unveiled how residential schools disrupted the lives of the Indigenous youth as it not only isolated them from their families, but they were assaulted and punished for speaking their language and criticized for practicing their Indigenous spiritual traditions.
In 2017, film director Jay Cardinal Villeneuve's short documentary Holy Angels recaptured residential school survivor Lena Wandering Spirit's story, who attended Holy Angels from 1963 to 1969.
"They didn't want us to have too much of our culture," Spirit recalled in the National Film Board of Canada's produced film. "They took that away as soon as we first went in there… We would get hit in the mouth for speaking our language."
Mercredi left Holy Angels in the eighth grade to trap animals and fish with his father. In 1923, he returned to the school. Five years following, he moved to Manitoba to train to become a priest at the Oblate Fathers' novitiate in Manitoba. Shortly following, Mercredi became the second First Nations minister in Alberta.
Honouring a First Nations' Priest
For most of his life, Mercredi worked and lived in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Northern Alberta. Once becoming a priest, he served the people across the Wood Buffalo region from Lac la Biche to Fort Chipewyan.
He was well-known for his dedication to the parish and as a community leader, coach and athlete. The St. John the Baptist Parish states he was also an artist and his paintings of The Stations of the Cross are showcased in mission churches of St. Gabriel in Janvier and St. Vincent in Conklin.
On November 1, 1982, a local high school held its grand opening carrying Mercredi's name in dedication to him. He passed away the day before the doors opened on October 31.
Father Patrick Mercredi Community High School is in Treaty 8 territory and is part of the Fort McMurray Catholic School district.
According to Fort McMurray Historical Society's education history sited on Virtual Museum, the school's main objective was "to have students and the community working together."
With this plan in place, the school was designed to have facilities available for the community to utilize. In the 80s, a state-of-the-art school was introduced like no other with a wide range of facilities including a community public library, computer labs, a theatre, chapel, automotive and construction rooms and additional rooms for music, arts and drama.
Today, residents, students and faculty still recognize his name and Indigenous culture continues to be honoured and represented by the high number of Cree, Déne, and Métis students from Grades seven to 12, who demonstrate Indigenous educational practices within it.
Father Mercredi Street is located in downtown Fort McMurray off of Clearwater Drive, and Father Patrick Mercredi Community High School is located at 455 Silin Forest Road in Thickwood.

Golden Globes, Black Ties
By Andrew Richdale
Pulling off a sharp black tie look is all in the details; there are some basic rules you need to master in order to get it right. So rather than pointing fingers at the guys from last night's Globes who were off-the-mark—and yes, there were more than a few—here are four leading men who did pretty well for themselves.
Jon Hamm pretty effortlessly pulled off the double-breasted look (the perfectly fitting Tom Ford tux didn't hurt). Bonus points for playing up the strong, masculine vibe with a just-grown-in-enough beard.
Never a shortage of saggy, two-inches-too-long trousers on the red carpet. But Twilight's Taylor Lautner managed to get the break just right with his. And we're digging the rock-'n'-roll sheen of his slim-cut Calvin Klein tux.
We've said it before, and we'll say it again: Ditch the cummerbund. 500 Days of Summer's Joseph Gordon-Levitt demonstrates just how well you'll do without it.
When it comes to black tie, nothing's more classic than a bow tie (one you tie yourself, that is). But nothing's wrong with a straight black number, either—as long as you go with satin or silk, stay away from patterns or prints, and pay attention to the proportions of your tie, collar, and lapel. Avatar's Sam Worthington gets it all right with this razor-sharp Burberry tux.

Netflix logo
Netflix is an online entertainment service founded in 1997 by two business partners: Marc Bernays Randolph and Wilmot Reed Hastings Jr. It rents television shows and movies for rent, and also offers streaming services. Based in California, but covering a wide audience: more than 190 countries.
The company acquired a brand with the inscription "Netflix" in 1997, but it did not last long. In 2000, designers changed the focus of the style, adding bright colors and making the inscription symmetrical. This was a transitional step towards a modern logo.
The debut logo is characterized by a certain "lack of assembly". It is visually divided into several fragments. Even the letters on "Netflix" decay: the capital letters "N" and "F" are larger than "E", "T", "L", "I" and "X", which are also capitalized. This is done specifically to distinguish between the Net and Flix parts.
Another symbolic element is cinema. She turns the first half of the word over and dissolves on a white background. The black and purple gradient gives the pattern a dynamic feel. And the logo is animated by a custom font with thin, elongated lines and sharp serifs.
In 2000, the company adopted a new logo, changing the style of the inscription. Now the word "Netflix" arches into a low arc. The designers borrowed this design technique from the old CinemaScope. White sans serif letters are surrounded by black outlines and shadows. Thanks to such a contrasting color scheme, they stand out clearly against a red background.
In June 2014, the transmission service owners made a global rebranding. The process involved New York design studio Gretel. The specialists developed another brand and changed the interface of the website. In the updated emblem there are no dark shadows, which previously made visual perception heavier. There is only one company name painted on Netflix Red. Enrollment is done in a custom font. It is based on the Gotham Book and Gotham Bold.
In June 2016, another element of the brand's graphic display appeared: an icon in the shape of an "N". The letter consists of several wide lines formed by different shades of red.
Service representatives clarified that this emblem is used in conjunction with the main corporate symbol. It is intended for mobile applications, social networks, a website and rarely appears in teasers and press materials. In the latter, a full-size version of the logo is more common.
Both the letter "N" and the word "Netflix" have the same palette. The vast majority of inscriptions are made in the shadow of Netflix Red. But if they are used as watermarks, then white is acceptable in place of red. The preferred background is black. In exceptional cases, other options are possible: for example, white and light tones, without contrast. According to the brand concept, the main red and black range should emphasize the cinematic quality of the premium class.
The Netflix Logo Color Palette with Hex & RGB Codes palette has only one color which is Maximum Red (#D81F26).

Stocks wobble in early trading on latest batch of earnings
NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stocks wobbled between small gains and losses in early trading on Wall Street Thursday as investors reviewed a mixed batch of corporate profits and financial forecasts.
Technology stocks made the strongest gains. Microsoft rose 1.5% after handily beating Wall Street's quarterly profit forecast, and PayPal soared 9.5%.
Most other sectors edged lower. Communication companies fared the worst as Twitter plunged on weak results.
Bond prices rose. The yield on the 10-year Treasury fell to 1.74% from 1.76% late Wednesday.
KEEPING SCORE: The S&P 500 index fell less than 0.1% as of 10 a.m. Eastern time. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 82 points, or 0.3%, to 26,752. The Nasdaq rose 0.3%. The Russell 2000 index of smaller stocks fell 0.1%.
EARNINGS SCORECARD: One-third of companies within the S&P 500 have reported their latest financial results and have so far eased investor concerns about a sharp contraction. Companies within the index reported just over a 1.2% drop in profit overall. That is currently much better than initial expectations for a more than 4% contraction.
INJURED BIRD: Twitter dove 18.2% after reporting disappointing third quarter profit and revenue. The social media company blamed some of its problems in the most recent quarter on bugs related to its advertising platform. It also gave investors a weak revenue forecast for the fourth quarter.
CHARGING AHEAD: Tesla surged 16.6% after the electric car maker surprised Wall Street with a solid profit. Analysts expected the company to report another loss as it struggles to increase sales. The company took several cost-cutting measures, including layoffs, during the quarter.
GAINING ALTITUDE: Solid profits helped lift American Airlines 4.6% and push Southwest Airlines 5.8% higher. American Airlines beat Wall Street profit forecasts thanks in part to lower prices for jet fuel.
Southwest Airlines overcame the grounding of its Boeing 737 Max jets to beat analysts' profit forecasts. It reported strong travel demand and rising ticket prices.
OVERSEAS: European markets moved broadly higher. The European Central Bank made no changes to interest rates or its bond purchasing during its latest meeting, which is Mario Draghi's last as president. Christine Lagarde, former head of the International Monetary Fund, will take over leadership on Nov. 1.
Stocks in Asia also moved higher.

An underwhelming Karateka demo
by Ken Gagne Filed under Game trail, People, Software showcase;
I had marked November 17th as the date Jordan Mechner would return to the world of Karateka, his classic Apple II fighting game. Ten days early, Sean Fahey announced that my marked date was for the PC, iOS, and PlayStation 3 versions of the new Karateka, but that the Xbox Live Arcade version was now available.
As primarily an Xbox gamer, I was happy to hear this news and immediately downloaded the game, accepting of the fact that I'd be unable to load it upside-down. Up until then, I'd wondered as to the game's genre and nature: was it best described as a sequel? A reboot? A reimagining? Having played only the ten-minute free trial, I would describe the game as a remake — and one that doesn't capture modern gamers with its demo.
How much has Karateka changed in the last 30 years?
With an art style and musical underpinning that harken back to the classic Apple II fighting game, Karateka is a visual and aural delight. The Japanese gardens and goofy goons that our hero encounters are evocative of another time and place. There is little freedom to explore these environments, though, as the protagonist (one of three) proceeds through it on two-dimensional rails, unable to move any direction but forward.
Once he engages with a foe, the opportunity for input becomes limited to three buttons: punch, kick, and block. It is impossible to strike an enemy without first blocking his own attack, at which point his guard is lowered and he is open to a chain of attacks. In an interview with Polygon's Samit Sarkar, Mechner describes the combat system as rhythm-based in which players "have to time your attacks to the score from Grammy-winning composer Christopher Tin". This was not my experience; my blocks were based solely on cues from the castle's keepers — tells that they were about to strike. A successful block then let me pound the punch and kick buttons, but there seemed to be neither functional difference between the two nor incentive to experiment with a variety of combos.
In an interview with Steve Peterson, Mechner indicates that the simplistic gameplay is intentional, allowing other aspects of Karateka to take center stage:
Mechner believes Karateka is an unusual design, one that will attract a broader audience. "It's not a fighting game in the sense of trying to rack up points, or fighting for fighting's sake. It's fighting in order to get to the happy ending in the story, and it's a love story. I think we're appealing to a slightly different audience than most fighting games," he says.
I can appreciate Jordan Mechner, as someone whose ambition has always been to write Hollywood scripts, wanting to focus on that aspect of Karateka. Storytelling has become an increasingly important part of both big-budget and indie games, with hits such as Braid, Portal, and even the BIT.TRIP series having set new milestones for their innovative and memorable plots.
But plot is also the hardest quality for a game to convey in a short demo. It is more effective to draw players in with engaging gameplay, then present them with an increasingly intricate and meaningful narrative. In that respect, the free demo I played falls flat. The only challenges I encountered in my time with Karateka was identifying a foe's pattern and timing my blocks accordingly. With digital distribution and mobile apps, there are much more involving experiences I could get for my $10, and demos that give me more confidence in that investment than Karateka has.

New Delhi [India], January 21 (ANI/TPT): Indie Songster, Composer and Lyricist Yashraj Shaw releases his new song 'Tum Meri Thi' on his official YouTube channel. It is a Hindi-Pop track which depicts the grit and determination of not giving up on your love with a pinch of innocence. The music video captures the serenity of Meghalaya, from villages to the Shillong city which adds to the beauty of the track. It features Triveni Barman in lead role who was the finalist of Miss India 2017 and was crowned as Miss India Assam in 2017.


Press the seam open and put the lining piece to the back. The first way which is also my favorite way is to lay your fabric along the back of the lace zip. You�ll notice on the back of the zip the back is darker where the zip teeth are. There�s a light where it slightly changes colour. lay the stitched edge along that line and glue it. The lace is on the exterior. Always stitch the zipper... But what you do here is to fold the facing/zipper back, so that the zipper teeth in between is at the very edge inside the fold. Right next to the tip of my finger nail is the zipper teeth (inside). Right next to the tip of my finger nail is the zipper teeth (inside).

Without a doubt, invisible zippers give a much cleaner and more professional finish to garments � particularly for side and back openings on all types of garments.


Wow. Really, really bad. I'm shocked that I even have the energy to type this post. I should have crashed hours ago.
Of course, I have excuses, some of them are even halfway decent too.
First up, Chris is in New York for business. It stinks. Please come home. I miss you.
Secondly, I've been working loooong days in the field in LA and it is blisteringly hot this time of year. I bet I have a better sunburned neck than you do right now. Sign me up for redneck of the year. I like being outside, rather than glued to a computer for the day, (and my field work isn't nearly as hard as the work that our drillers do) but I had a long day so I feel entitled to complain, just a bit. And to be lazy and eat ice cream for dinner.
Third, making healthy food would require that I clean the dirty dishes in the sink. To make room in the sink for the dirty dishes on the counter. To clear space on the counter to make healthy food. This isn't normal for our house; usually it's halfway clean (excepting loads of dog hair) but this week? Yeah, not so much. It's a pig pen. And it's my fault too, since I'm the only one home to make the messes.
I'm sure he had fun spending the night outside last night too, by his stinky lonesome self. As you can imagine, it was bath time when I got home from work today.
Ok, I think it's time to crash. Besides, by going to bed, I can avoid the dirty dishes for one more day.

Amendment to Overturn Citizens United Moves Through Senate, Nobody Holds Their Breath
Home Published September 11, 2014 - 1:30pm
New Mexico Senator Tom Udall's proposed measure to restore Congress' right to establish campaign spending limits passed the Senate on a 79-18 procedural vote and is now up for debate. The amendment, which would effectively overturn the Supreme Court's decision in Citizens United, remains unlikely to pass as it would need strong bipartisan support which Republicans don't have much incentive to provide.
But that doesn't mean the entirety of the body politic should acquiesce. Debate is necessary to raise the public's awareness about big money's impact on politics, especially in this midterm election year. Udall should be applauded.
The issue highlights the ideological differences between the parties. Republicans tend to support money in politics as thinly veiled "free speech." A spokesperson for Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said that he "welcomes the debate" but, "to be clear, there is zero support on our side for rewriting the First Amendment to restrict free speech."
For Democrats this is an opportunity to find out just how unpopular Citizens United is when put in plain view. In an op-ed for The Hill, Senator Udall and former Senator Alan Simpson said of Citizens United:
"This is tortured logic that leads to an unacceptable result – that a citizen's access to a constitutional right is dependent on his or her net worth. A result that says the wealthy get to shout, but the rest of you may only whisper."
Amendment co-sponsor and Montana Senator Jon Tester also has strong words for Citizens United:
"What makes America great is that everyone has a say in the decisions that we make. That each one of us from the richest to the poorest, has an equal stake in electing our leaders, but the Supreme Court can't seem to figure that out. "
Minnesota Senator Al Franken labeled Citizens United a "disaster," calling it "one of the Supreme Court's worst decisions."
The proposed amendment would allow congress and states to "set reasonable limits on the raising and spending of money by candidates and others to influence elections." It would also allow federal and state governments to prohibit election spending by corporations.
Perhaps the most impassioned speech in favor of the amendment was given by progressive favorite Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren. Watch:
As the Washington Post notes, right-wing objections to campaign finance reform reveal an ideological shift over time:
Past versions of the constitutional amendment — which has been introduced in various forms beginning in 1986 — have been co sponsored by Republicans such as Sen. Ted Stevens of Alaska, Sen. Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania, Sen. Thad Cochran of Mississippi and Sen. John McCain of Arizona.

Health Minister calls for organising frequent blood donation camps
In view of widening gap between demand and supply of blood for transfusion, Union Health Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad Tuesday encouraged people for voluntary donation while stressing on the need to organise frequent donation camps.
"The increased number of surgeries conducted in super speciality hospitals has led to enhanced usage and demand for blood. Such blood donation camps should be organised at regular intervals to meet the rising demand," he said at the inauguration of blood donation camp and sensitisation workshop organised by Department of AIDS Control (DAC) at Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital.
"In case of an emergency it is always the blood that takes precedence. One does not ask for the religion, caste or creed of the donor as it is blood which is needed at that time. Blood unites the whole country," the minister said.
He also suggested that along with October 1, blood donation camps should be organised on October 2 every year on the occasion of Mahatma Gandhi's birth anniversary.
Azad also felicitated the centurion donors for their contribution to the cause and cited them as role models for others at the camp.
Voluntary blood collection in India has reached to 84.3 per cent in 2013 whereas in 2007 it was 54 per cent, he said.
He further stated that during the year 2012-2013, 73,668 blood donation camps were organised as against the target of 67,659 camps.
While addressing the participants Secretary, DAC, Lov Verma urged people to start donating blood at the age of 18.
He further said that youth should come forward to voluntarily donate blood and stressed on incorporating the different aspects of voluntary blood donation in school curriculum for generating awareness.
The function was also attended by Miss Universe Olivia Culpo who complimented Government of India for its AIDS control programme and called upon the youth to donate blood.

nTopology Robot Report
Posted on 28th April 2021,
Design software key to robotics performance, says nTopology
The tools that robotics developers use to design new products are just as important to performance as their choice of materials and components, according to nTopology. The New York-based software company works with aerospace, automotive, consumer, medical, and industrial design customers.
"There's a big need for complex geometry that is often computationally difficult, such as lattice structures for medical implants designed to work well with the human body," said Blake Perez, senior application engineer at nTopology. "Our applications team helps customers scope projects and find solutions to problems that maybe weren't fully understood initially."
In aerospace, topology optimization is important because every pound removed from a design saves millions of dollars over the life of an aircraft, he explained.
"In automotive, we need to make sure vehicles are crashworthy — for example, with parts that are hollow and can collapse," said Perez. "There's a lot of interest in 3D printing solutions, but not a lot of tools to generate that level of performance."
Robotics is similar, where surgical robots need to minimize their footprint, service robots need to be lightweight for safety, and drones need to maximize their flight times on limited batteries or fuel.
Building nTop for designers
In 2015, nTopology launched its Element software, which was a point tool for creating lattices. "Customers wanted to create lattices with 1B unit cells, but the software they were using was crashing," Perez recalled. "That led to the creation of the modeling kernel we use today. We realized it was useful for other things, revolutionizing the way we use CAD today.
"We put the first version of our nTop platform into the hands of companies like Lockheed Martin for beta testing in 2018," he said. "The official launch of nTop 1.0 was in April 2019. Since then, we've been evaluating how people in different industries are using it, and that's led to the creation of the Toolkits—for things like simulation, or architected materials—that are delivered in our latest nTop 2.0 software version."
Collaboration and simulation
nTopology's collaborative approach involves not just having an engineer in the loop, but also having the design engineer work alongside other engineers, and with simulation data, in the workspace, said Perez.
"These tasks are all computationally heavy, when done with traditional CAD-based software, and can take hours, days, or weeks to do," he said. "Such methodology has been holding back advanced additive manufacturing. A 3 to 5mm change will break the model somewhere."
nTopology took a different, computational-modeling tack, founded on a unique mathematical approach that is fundamentally different from conventional click-and-place computer-aided design (CAD), Perez explained.
"Our users are incredibly talented, but maybe they work at small firms and think they can't afford all the tools they need," he said. "However, now design and manufacturing engineers don't have to be experts in CAD/CAM," he said. "They can do it all within nTop platform, which is affordable for small startups."
"We try to capture and automate a lot of work, and as people get used to building more complex models, they can automate their own model changes," Perez said.
nTopology and robotics
"The way functions interact in nTopology software has similarities to coding," Perez said. "Because of their coding and mechatronic background, robotics developers understand it. The accessible learning curve for our software enables them to design an arm, optimize topology, and optimize for manufacturing easily," he added. "It's interesting to see how fast people in this space can pick it up.
"People building parts for robotics can make them more lightweight or optimize their center of gravity to make their motions more efficient," said Perez. "They can do those performance optimizations in the software."
nTopology users include developers working with ABB and KUKA products, among others. "Another customer is a large medical company designing robotic grippers," he said. "We're looking for people seeking to design things that their software can't do yet and need a modeling approach that keeps up with their imagination.
"For mobile manipulation, I would be excited about a robot that could bring me my wallet when I forget it at home," he jokes. "We'd like to cast our thinking out that far!"
Customization and support
nTopology sells its software direct to design and development firms. There is a platform fee, plus add-ons for additional users and trial pricing, said Perez.
"Customization is part of the product-development process," he explained. "Over the past year, we've been busy responding to customer feedback. In most cases, we've then built generic pathways for smoothing interoperability between engineering data sources. nTop can work directly with Abaqus and other brands of simulation software, and it can output data as a .csv file and load it into another tool. In some cases, it can also deliver sliced data directly to a 3D printer without the need for intermediate STL files.
"Our customer-success teams offer technical guidance that enables customers to build functionality within the tool themselves. Then they own it," Perez said. "For example, we taught a medical customer how to design its product and all the accompanying workflows, fully within our environment. We provide ongoing customer support and extensive documentation as well."
nTopology doubled in size last year. "One of our growth pains is that we sometimes get more customer feedback than we can quickly respond to," acknowledged Perez. "We're in the process of continually adding functionality—such as enhanced topology optimization, and even more complex latticing capabilities—making everything more extensible and faster over time."

Grigore Alexandru Ghica or Ghika (1803 or 1807 – 24 August 1857) was a Prince of Moldavia between 14 October 1849, and June 1853, and again between 30 October 1854, and 3 June 1856. His wife was Helena, a member of the Sturdza family and daughter of Ioan Sturdza, who had been Prince of Moldavia from 1822 to 1828.

Biography

Early life and first rule
Born sometime between 1800 and 1810, Grigore Alexandru was a member of the Ghica family of boyars, and a descendant of Phanariotes. After being educated in France and the German Confederation, he returned to his native country and rallied with the nationalist and liberal opposition to Prince Mihail Sturdza under the Regulamentul Organic regime. Following the 1848 Revolution and Sturdza's deposition, despite his political choices, with Russia's approval, the Moldavian Divan appointed Ghica as ruler for a seven-year term (recognition from the Ottoman Empire, the country's other overseer, was obtained through the Convention of Balta Liman).

Soon after receiving the throne in Iași, Ghica carried out a series of moderate reforms, and prepared to implement more radical ones. He was responsible for creating a corps of Gendarmes (3 April 1850), which was to serve as an embryo for the present-day Romanian Gendarmerie. In 1851, he nominated the Transylvanian-born intellectual August Treboniu Laurian, himself a noted supporter of ethnic Romanian nationalism, as Inspector of the Schools in Moldavia. Additionally, his rule relaxed censorship, and became noted for an increase in literary activities.

Grigore Alexandru Ghica's program was ended by the Crimean War, when Russian troops occupied the Danubian Principalities as a means to attack the Ottoman Empire. Deposed in June 1853, he went into exile in October, crossing into the Austrian Empire and settling in Vienna. When occupying troops were forced to retreat the following year, and Russian influence remained marginal, he was allowed to regain his position, and attempted to fulfill his platform.

Second rule and reforms

As such, Ghica ordered the abolition of Roma slavery. This came at the end of a gradual process: since slaves owned by the state and the Orthodox Church had been set free by Mihail Sturdza in 1844, the order applied to the sizable category of privately owned Roma. The legislative project was drafted by Mihail Kogălniceanu and Petre Mavrogheni, and passed with the Divan's unanimous vote on 22 December 1855, providing compensation for all adult and able Roma, part of which was to be collected from former state-owned slaves. In the end, as the sums owed were threatening to drain state resources, payment was settled with state bonds (while 264 boyars agreed to free their slaves at no expense to the state). As many as 30,000 Roma or as few as 5,000 gained their freedom as a direct result of the move.

The order was the direct consequence of a public scandal involving the family of Dimitrie Cantacuzino-Pașcanu, who had been Moldavia's logofăt during the 1830s. Dimitrie's widow Profira had adopted and educated Dincă, a son of her husband's from an adulterous relationship with a Roma slave, who served the estate as a cook. As a result of his upbringing, Dincă had emancipated himself and was even allowed access to French high-society, when he accompanied Profira Cantacuzino to Paris. While there, he made the acquaintance of a chambermaid, Clémentine, who became his fiancée and agreed to accompany him back to Moldavia. Upon his return, Dincă's status as a slave was exposed — impressed by the situation, Ghica agreed to advocate his release, but met opposition from Profira Cantacuzino, who argued that Dincă reminded her of her deceased husband, and stressed that she could not allow him to grow estranged. Confronted with the news and aware that he would not be allowed to marry a free woman, Dincă shot his wife and then himself, an event which served to draw additional support for the abolitionist cause.

Ghica's overt approval of the nationalist program, which called for uniting Moldavia and Wallachia and implied measures to support Partida Națională'''s activities, provoked the opposition of Austria and the Ottoman Empire.William Miller, The Ottoman Empire and Its Successors, 1801–1927, Routledge, London, 1966, p. 244 During the late years of his rule, he appointed several Partida Națională representatives to government positions.

In 1856, Prince Grigore legislated an end to censorship and instituted freedom of the press. A notable cultural event during the later years of his rule was a debate over the authenticity of the Chronicle of Huru, a document which claimed to shed light on obscure events in Moldavian history, and which received ideological support from the anti-unionist Gheorghe Asachi. Ghica appointed a Commission of experts, comprising Laurian, Kogălniceanu, and Costache Negruzzi, which reported that the document was a forgery. Gheorghe Adamescu, Istoria literaturii române. Literatura istorică

Later years and suicide
After his term expired, Ghica left the country and moved to Paris. In his place, after a short hiatus, the Porte appointed a Teodor Balș, with the title of Caimacam. A noted adversary of the unionist cause, Balș focused his attention on becoming titular Prince. Having retreated to his property in Le Mée-sur-Seine, the former ruler continued to advocate the union, which had by then been made more probable by the 1856 Treaty of Paris, and, to this end, attempted to determine the Second French Empire to issue formal approval for free and transparent elections to be carried out in Moldavia — annulling the electoral fraud carried out by Nicolae Vogoride (who had since replaced Balș). This brought him to the attention of anti-unionists, who began publicizing various inflammatory allegations in reference to Ghica. Feeling insulted by the arguments, Ghica also grew disenchanted by Emperor Napoleon III's refusal to grant him an audience (despite the fact that, by then, the French monarch had chosen to endorse new Moldavian elections).

He committed suicide in his home. Shortly before this, he drafted his last will, which was introduced by the statement:
"I am the victim of a foul deed and cannot live any longer, although I know myself to be completely innocent. The day shall come when truth will be exposed. I await my enemies in front of God's court."

Legacy
Just two days after his death, Ottoman authorities agreed to overturn the elections sanctioned by Vogoride. When the Moldo-Wallachian union was effected by the 1859 double election of Alexandru Ioan Cuza, who reigned as Domnitor, Ghica's law on censorship served as a model for new legislation, and was generalized throughout Romania.

In recognition of his role in creating the Gendarmerie, the School for Subordinate Officers in Drăgășani (originally located in Bumbești-Jiu) was named after him.

A section Ion Creangă's book Amintiri din copilărie'', which details the Prince's visit to the school in Târgu Neamț at a time when Creangă was a student there, contains an admiring portrait of Ghica ("handsome in features and gentle"), as well as a section of his speech on the occasion.
Grigore Alexandru Ghica was the grandfather of Roman Catholic Archbishop Vladimir Ghika, who was a victim of the Romanian Communist regime.

Choosing a Real Estate Lawyer: An Interview with Bryson M. Aldridge of Stubbs Cole Breedlove Prentis & Biggs P.L.L.C.
Stubbs Cole Breedlove Prentis and Biggs was founded in 1932 by Alston J. Stubbs. For three decades, Mr. Stubbs developed a law practice concentrating on residential and commercial real estate transactions and representing banking and commercial institutions. C. Thomas Biggs and James A. Cole Jr. joined the firm in the 1960s and Rick Prentis joined in the 1970s. While many attorneys have come and gone, and others have passed, the core group of attorneys that remained at Stubbs Cole continued to broaden the practice into other areas of the law.

Lower Your Investment Fees and Keep More Earnings with These Tips
Why is it important to pay close attention to fees when investing? Because these expenses are usually unseen by most investors, and they can whittle away significantly at the returns you achieve on your investments.
updated February 2, 2017 Ting Pen
As an example, consider an analysis prepared by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). An investor starting with $10,000, earning 4% return each year and paying just 0.25% annually in investment fees will accumulate $210,000 after 20 years.
But consider if that investor pays 1.0% in investment fees each year. On the face of it, the difference between 0.25% and 1.0% seems modest; both are relatively low when one compares different investment expense ratios. But even this small gap in rates adds up to a substantial difference in earnings over time. In an account that's charged 1.0% annually, that $10,000 would grow after 20 years to be worth $180,000--or $30,000 less than the account that was dinged only 0.25% a year.
Fees Are Lower, but Still Hurt Performance
Investors are becoming increasingly aware of fees and how they ultimately affect the wealth they accumulate over time. Investment advisers and asset managers are reacting to the pressure and gradually lowering the expenses paid by investors through management fees.
Morningstar reported last year that the average mutual fund expense ratio is down from where it was five years ago. Their research found the average asset-weighted expense ratio was now 0.61% in 2015.
Any improvement is welcome. But as the SEC analysis shows, even low fees can take a big bite out of investment performance.
It's true that investment fees are a necessary evil. Firms that build the platforms that help you put your capital to work in the markets need to earn something for their efforts--they're in business to turn a profit after all.
And if you invest through mutual funds or with an investment adviser, you have to pay for the expertise they bring to the table.
While some of these fees are unavoidable, they can be more manageable in the hands of savvy investors who know how to use these cost-saving strategies.
Choose low-cost index funds or ETFs. These types of mutual funds are built to copy and track the performance of specific market indexes. While there are professional managers at the helms of these funds, their management fees are much lower than actively managed funds--when you're just copying an index's holdings, there's less research, analysis and stock picking to do.
Work with a fee-based advisor. A fee-based advisor will charge an annual fee based on the value of all assets in an investor's account (usually prorated on a quarterly basis.) There is a built-in incentive for the advisor to grow account values—when account values are higher, the advisor earns more money. With a broker, investor recommendations may be skewed toward investments that pay higher commissions to brokers looking to boost their income.
Negotiate the fee you pay. You don't have to accept an advisor's stated fee as the final cost you'll pay to invest. Feel free to ask for a lower rate, especially if you have significant assets to invest. Some advisors will offer breakpoints or tiered management fees based on different levels of investable assets.
Avoid frequent trading. This is one of the biggest traps investors often find themselves in—they chase hot trends and top-performing managers, incurring transaction fees on top of missing most of the potential outperformance. The fees and the missed return opportunities reduce the power of compounding growth, one of the biggest influences on investors' total return.
In fact, investment fees may be the biggest drag on the returns investors achieve. When fees are high, investments have to work harder—seeking higher returns by assuming greater risks. But if you can minimize the costs you pay to invest, you're more likely to find achieving your investment goals becomes much easier and less stressful.

BlackBerry Shares Rise on Potential Bidding Interest
BlackBerry News
Waqar Hassan Posted on October 3, 2013
After the struggling smartphone maker had announced that it would be recording $400 million in pre-tax charges because of the cuts announced the previous month, BlackBerry saw the slide in BlackBerry shares price reverse because of the possibility of a second offer. BlackBerry has put itself on the block from August after it had bled out market share to other companies in the smartphone market. A person close to the matter stated that an offer for BlackBerry might be made by Cerberus Capital Management LP, a private equity group. Cerberus had also been named by Wall Street Journal earlier as one of the two companies that go for distressed investing and may give BlackBerry a look.
The name of the second firm was not provided. According to some of the sources of the Wall Street Journal, Cerberus would get access to the private financial information of the Canadian smartphone maker by signing a confidentiality agreement, but this was no guarantee that it would actually make a bid. No comment was made by Cerberus regarding this matter. The price of BlackBerry shares that had declined 5% this season was up by 1%. By mid-afternoon, the stock had reached $8 that was still less than $9, a share offer that has been made a consortium that's led by Fairfax Financial Holdings Inc., the Toronto insurer who wishes to privatize the smartphone maker.
The tentative $4.7 billion offer that was made by Fairfax the previous month was accepted by BlackBerry that has been unsuccessfully competing against the devices of Apple Inc. and those based on Google's Android Operating system. A BlackBerry spokesman stated that the company wasn't willing to discuss any developments until a specific transaction was reached or until it had reviewed all the strategic alternatives available. Previously, known as Research in Motion Ltd, the Waterloo-Ontario based firm had been founded by Mike Lazaridis.
The little wireless devices of the company had provided executives, lawyers and politicians another way of accessing their emails when away from the office. Lazaridis is still a major shareholder, but he left the company last year. Slumping sales and a huge loss had been reported by BlackBerry last week in the latest in the long line of underwhelming results. In order to reduce its operating expenses by half, the company stated that it would be cutting about 40% of its workforce. When these results had been reported by the company, it had stated that it would be updating its 2013 outlook in a filing.
The latest filing comprises of the $400 million charges and it is expected that the company would be taking those charges over the remainder of this fiscal year and in the first quarter of the next. In another blow for the company, it also reported that government and corporate customers that formed its loyal base have also been considerably slow in adopting its new servers that allow them to manage all their devices, whether BlackBerry, Android or even Apple devices. The Canadian firm may also become an interesting target with proceeds of real estate sales.

We are excited to announce that Eyesight Ophthalmic Services is now offering the first and only FDA approved cross-linking treatment for progressive keratoconus. We are the first practice in New Hampshire to offer this medically necessary procedure.
The cornea is responsible for focusing most of the light that comes into the eye. Therefore, abnormalities of the cornea, such as keratoconus, can have a major impact on how an individual sees the world, making simple tasks, such as driving a car or reading a book, very difficult.
You can find more information from the National Keratoconus Foundation at www.NKCF.org.
Cross-linking is a minimally invasive outpatient procedure that combines the use of UVA light and riboflavin eye drops to add stiffness to corneas which have been weakened by disease or refractive surgery. Cross-linking, which has been performed in Europe since 2003, is considered the standard of care around the world for keratoconus and corneal ectasia following refractive surgery. This procedure is approved as a medically necessary procedure, approved through most medical plans.
Avedro's drug products, Photrexa® Viscous (riboflavin 5'-phosphate in 20% dextran ophthalmic solution) and Photrexa® (riboflavin 5'-phosphate ophthalmic solution) are indicated for use with the KXL System in corneal collagen cross-linking – a medical procedure that combines the use of ultra-violet (UV) light and riboflavin (vitamin B2) eye drops. The procedure works by creating new bonds between corneal collagen fibers which leads to the stiffening of corneas which have been weakened by disease or by refractive surgery.
• Only FDA approved therapeutic treatment available for progressive keratoconus and corneal ectasia following refractive surgery.
• Can limit the progression of disease by stiffening the cornea.
• Clinical benefits of reduction in maximum corneal curvature (as measured by Kmax).
Patients over the age of 14 who have been diagnosed with progressive keratoconus or corneal ectasia following refractive surgery should ask their doctor about corneal cross-linking.
The procedure is performed at Clear Advantage Vision Correction Center which is the refractive surgery center through Eyesight Ophthalmic Services. Crosslinking is the only therapeutic product for corneal cross-linking which has been FDA approved to treat progressive keratoconus. This approval offers an effective treatment for patients who, until recently, had no therapeutic options to limit the progression of this sight-threatening disease.


Soak the bath pack in warm water for around 5-10 minutes. Rub the whole body with the pack and relax in the bath tub for 15-20 minutes.
This pack contains 21 Himalayan herbs blessed and empowered by high Tibetan Lamas. The bath pack is effective for purifying negative karma, elevating mood, promoting blood circulation, removing obstacles and defilements.
Note: If you are pregnant, have high blood pressure or heart problems use only in the shower.

Is Kith's Co-Founder Going to Buy Barneys?
October 4, 2019 Words by Robert Quick
Earlier this year, department store and cultural institution Barneys New York filed for bankruptcy. It was a powerful reflection of the current state of the retail industry, which has long been trying to figure out how to compete with the rise of digital shopping. But all might not be lost for Barneys, as the Wall Street Journal reports that a group of fashion executives, led by Sam Ben-Avraham who co-founded Kith in 2010, is preparing to offer $220 million to buy the department store.
This makes sense for a lot of reasons. As the luxury and streetwear industry markets continue to bleed into each other, no one knows how to address this progression more than Avraham — in the '90s, he opened Atrium, a boutique that carried both independent streetwear brands and designer labels including Balmain. It's almost like he knew this was coming all along. Plus, Barneys has long been on this wave. In 2017, the store hosted its own two-day streetwear festival, thedrop@barneys, which included panels with industry juggernauts like Virgil Abloh and Heron Preston as well as limited collections from established and emerging brands.
Also, in terms of physical retail, it's arguably the streetwear crowd that's really driving this industry forward. Marketing reports for years have said that the in-store experience has to be just that, an experience, to attract shoppers, but stores have still struggled to apply that in a practical way. Whether it's with an in-store basketball court (like the Nike Store has in SoHo) or a human-size hamster wheel so that customers can test out running shoes (like the Allbirds store has in SoHo), all these fancy amenities still aren't driving sales as much as you'd think. Yet with every Supreme drop and Kith capsule, there's always a line of at least 50 people waiting outside the store to open, ready to spend. And isn't that what retail is all about?
The deadline for bids is October 11, but a spokesperson for Barneys said they "intend to reach an agreement by next Friday." So the dawn of Kith x Barneys may be right around the corner.

Q: Google Maps Center while zooming I am using google maps in my ios app and I have fixed the marker in the centre of the view so as to get the centre location. Now, while zooming the marker is somewhere else and the current location is somewhere else.what I want to achieve is while zoomingIn or out my location should be in the centre of the map View how can I achieve it. Any help would be great.
Thanks in advance..

A: You can add this line allowScrollGesturesDuringRotateOrZoom to your GMSMapview. This setting controls whether rotate and zoom gestures can be performed off-center and scrolled around.
mapView.settings.allowScrollGesturesDuringRotateOrZoom = NO

For more information, check this page and this SO question.

A: If I understood your situation, you have a marker in the center of your map and then you want, in case the user make a Zoom to the map that the marker remain in the center.  Well, that is achieved  with this logic:  You have to listen to the "Zoom changed" event of google map. In case this event is triggered, retrieve the coordinates of the center and recreate the marker with the new coordinates. Doing this in plain javascript is easy, but for what I am seeing now,  in IOS could be a little bit more complicated.  But, there are some links that I hope could help you:
