GSky Plant Systems, a manufacturer of interior and exterior green walls, introduces the Versa Wall XT system, an exterior living wall alternative to pre-grown panels.
Each Versa Wall XT features 1-gal. potted plants in lightweight trays, allowing the quick and clean replacement of full-grown plants. This system can be a seasonal alternative in colder climates where plants can be removed for the winter or replaced entirely in the spring.
The system is easy to install, including around architectural features like doors and windows. Built on the same design as the indoor Versa Wall, the Versa Wall XT features a unique modular design for quick and easy installation and simplified maintenance.
With the Versa Wall XT, it is easy to change out individual plants, or exchange a whole wall of plants when seasons change. It does not require wait time for growth.
Featuring patented vertical irrigation technology, the Versa Wall XT system cuts water waste and prevents oversaturation. It also boosts cost efficiency by automatically running a timed gravity-based irrigation cycle two to three times per week.
The Versa Wall XT enlivens façades, cleans the air and shapes the acoustic environment. The system also is completely customizable with plants local to the installation site.
GSky and its dealer network design, install and maintain all Versa Wall XT systems. This gives customers creative control over a marquee feature that lasts, according to the company.
Clients include Proctor & Gamble, Vancouver's Simon Frazier University and Europe's largest shopping center at Westfield Mall (London, UK).

'The Crown' Star Emma Corrin on How She Got into Acting and Creating Her "Own" Princess Diana
By Chris McKittrick April 2, 2021 No Comments3 Mins Read
"I'm not Diana. I was never trying to do an impression or mimic her in any way. This is my own portrayal of her… Gradually, stitch by stitch, you weave this whole person together." – Emma Corwin
The Crown newcomer Emma Corrin is only 25 years old, but she has been acting for much of her life. In conversation with Netflix Queue about her work on the popular historical drama, Corrin talks about what inspired her to get into acting and how she created her version of Princess Diana, whom she portrays on the series — including her "Diana playlist."
Corrin cites one of her co-stars on The Crown, Helena Bonham Carter, as one of her primary inspirations for wanting to become an actor. She reveals, "I fell in love with Helena Bonham Carter in A Room with a View when I was little. I watched that film so many times. I actually tried to recreate it in the playground of my school. I asked if my friends wanted to do a version of it with me. They did not. But I think I just got the bug from that."
In addition to watching Merchant-Ivory movies as a child, Corrin made her stage debut at a young age in a school play. She explains, "My first role ever in my life was as Toad of Toad Hall in Wind in the Willows when I was about eight or nine years old."
Not only did she enjoy the experience, but she relished in the feedback she received from a parent – even if in hindsight she realizes that it may not have been totally sincere. Corrin says, "I just remember that afterwards, one of my friends' mums came up to me and said, 'Oh darling, you were amazing. You should be an actor.' It was a very generic, I'm-sure-she-said-that-to-everyone kind of comment, but I took it very seriously. And honestly, from that point onward I didn't look back."
Corrine has gone from starring as Toad in The Wind in the Willows as a child to playing one of the most famous public figures of the 20th century. On how she prepared for portraying Princess Diana, she says, "Oh my gosh, where to begin? Panic at first, and then I did a lot of research, and I got the scripts. That really helped because I realized that this is a fictionalized version of events; I'm not Diana. I was never trying to do an impression or mimic her in any way. This is my own portrayal of her. I started to do research that really resonated with the story that I wanted to tell, that we were telling. And then I worked a lot with Polly Bennett, who helped me with character and movement, and William Conacher, who helped me with the voice. Gradually, stitch by stitch, you weave this whole person together."
One of those stitches that helped her piece Diana together is the music that she would have been listening to during the era that the season is set. Corrin notes, "I've grown up listening to that era of music, so it kind of is my favorite anyway. I made a playlist on my phone called Diana's Playlist. I put that on every day."

I've configured the forum so that your PM Inbox has a maximum storage capacity of 300 messages. Same with your Sentbox and Savebox. Note: Your Outbox contains messages that you've sent that haven't been read yet, whereas your Sentbox contains messages you've sent that have been read.
Anyway, when you are checking your Inbox, make sure to see how much of your storage capacity you are using. There is a message at the top of your Inbox indicating the percentage that's full. If that percentage gets close to 100 percent, or even 90 percent, please clean it out by deleting old messages you've already read, or moving them to the Savebox for storage.
Same with your Sentbox and Savebox. You can see how much space is left in them at the top when you are in them. If they get nearly full, please remove some of the messages in them to free up some space.
I've just increased the size limit of the inbox, savebox, and sentbox from 300 messages to 500 messages.
Last night Rock told me that he needed more space in his inbox and savebox because he saves a lot of his PM's. So by increasing the storage space for him, it applies to everyone else too.
I'm going to reduce max inbox of private messages size to 300 soon to minimize the size of database. I'm afraid if the database size is too large the forum may slow down.
So if your inbox has more than 300 messages, please begin moving them into saved folders or start deleting them until they get under 300. Otherwise your new messages will be put into a holding area and will not be seen until you reduce your inbox size to under 300.
In your PM inbox, you can create up to four folders. I believe that each folder can hold the maximum limit of PM's that is set in the forum. So if the max limit is 300, then you can create four folders to store 1200 messages.
Therefore, if your inbox is full, and you want to save the messages, you can move them to those saved folders. So your storage capacity should quadruple if you create the folders. At least I think so. Try it out and let me know if you guys have any problems or if I'm mistaken.
The max limits for the PM inbox in the forum have now been reduced to 300. If your inbox is over that amount, your new messages will be held back in a storage area until you delete your old messages to under 300. Once you do, you will be able to see your new messages.
Alternatively, if you want to save some of your old messages, you can move them to your Saved folders. By default, you have one Saved folder which can hold the max limit of 300 messages. But you can create up to 3 more for a total of 4 saved folders by going to the "Rules, Settings, Folders" tab in your User Control Panel and creating new folders. Each folder can hold up to 300 messages, so if you have 4 folders, you can store up to 1200 messages.
If anyone here needs a bigger inbox that can hold more than 300 messages, you can PM me to discuss it. But you better have a good reason why you need a larger inbox.

You have exhausted the microfilmed civil records and are ready to move further backwards in time by using parish records. You have bought your ticket to Italy and are ready to tackle the local priest.
You can find the address of the parish church at www.chiesacattolica.it. (Or http://www.parrocchiemap.it/ see comment below. ) Write to the priest about one month before your visit and let him know which days you will be in the area and ask permission to do a search. DO NOT include any details of your research except to say that you will be looking for Domenico Antonio Rossi baptized around 1754. Include an addressed envelope for his reply (no stamp necessary). If you don't receive a reply, and you cannot telephone for an appointment be prepared anyway. Plan to be in the area at least one night if you don't have an appointment.
When you get to the town ask what time the mass is and be at the church at least 30 minutes ahead of time. If the priest is not already inside, then wait outside. Watch for side or back entrances. The priest may not arrive until a few minutes before the service so be prepared to wait until it is over. If it is a weekday the mass usually takes about 30 minutes, maybe less. Usually the priest will be available for a few minutes for the parishioners so be patient. If he cannot be available that day ask for permission to search the next day. Be flexible. He doesn't know you, and cannot change his schedule easily. Ask if a sacristan can be available and indicate that you are prepared to pay him for his time supervising the search. Most priests will try to accommodate you but most do not understand that you want more than one or two records and that you will need at least two hours of search time.
Notebook and pencil, pedigree charts and family group charts.
Lamp – not absolutely necessary but lighting is traditionally bad in church offices. If you can find a battery operated folding lamp it will help with the reading of the documents, otherwise hope for a bright window.
Camera – I do not recommend the ipad for taking document photos. It is too large to hold steady and does not have the ability to lighten the image. An iphone, on the other hand, has great image capture and has the ability to lighten the image without using flash. You should not use flash on old documents.
You need to remember that every priest 'did his own thing' as far as record keeping was concerned. The important thing was to record the sacraments. Baptism, confirmation/first communion, marriage and the last rites. What information they included was entirely up to the priest's discretion. Most did a really good job, but some did not, although they did improve as time went on and the church began to standardize the information required in the record. Latin was the language of the church, and while many records are written entirely in Latin, there are also those written in a mix of Latin and Italian, Latin and the local dialect, and even just Italian. Abbreviations were common and in many cases peculiar to the priest himself. Don't expect to be able to understand everything that is written in the act.
If you hope to search parish records personally, don't assume they will be housed in the local parish church. They probably are, but many Diocese now are gathering the older records for safe-keeping. You need to find this out before you go. You can do this by phoning or emailing the Diocese and asking where the records are held for the period you need. Ask if you will be allowed to search personally. Recently some Diocese's have been insisting that the records are private and only the priest can search them. Some of the priests will permit the search anyway. It all comes down to them. Rome is one Diocese that has taken records from most, but not all, of it's parishes and housed them in the Archives of the Vicariato in Rome. Personal searches are permitted but they require a letter of introduction from your local Bishop and will usually only permit you to ask for 4 books a day. (Take a friend) They will usually permit photos of the records but ask first. Not all Diocese Archives are open every day or even all day. Be sure to make an appointment. Take some small change as they do charge for photocopies or photographs.
If you have booked a search of the parish records at the local church this might need to take place during the mass, and under the watchful eye of the sacristan so be prepared. Your cotton gloves will make a good impression although they will rarely use them, you should. Ask permission to take photos of the records. Use a pencil (not a pen) to make notes. Even better, use your ipad or phone to make verbal notes.
Ask first if there are any Stato d'Anime you can look at. Then start checking baptism/marriage/baptism records and work your way backwards. Most, but not all recent books will have indexes. Check both front and back of the book. Sometimes the index will be by first name instead of surname, which may nor match the name used civilly or daily. It may not match the name used in the marriage record. If the book covers many years of baptisms, first calculate the time period you think the record should be found, then locate the starting and ending pages for this time frame. THEN check the index for names occurring in those pages only. Otherwise the repetition of first names will be very confusing.
Take a few minutes before you begin searching to study the inventory, locate any indexes, and study the format of the records to familiarize yourself with the elaborate script. Ask if there are any INDEX books. I have found in many parishes, at some point someone has gone painstakingly through the books and created an index, often covering many years, even decades. I search regularly in one parish that has index books from 1540 to present day. The books themselves may not be in any particular order, often the size of the book means it is placed out of sequence on a different shelf. Just because it's not where you expect it to be, doesn't mean it isn't there.
STATO D'ANIME records are much like a census, recording the families in the parish, and often keeping them up to date by adding babies, marriages and deaths as they occurred. They may be organized alphabetically, or by street or zone but always by Head of Household. They may include baptism dates, and 'cresima' dates and sometimes information on the parish of origin. Not all parishes did these 'census' records but when you find them they are a gold mine.
BAPTISM records, vary in format even within the same parish. Some begin with the baby's name, followed by parents names, including the paternal names of both mother and father. Others begin with the priest's name and qualifications, name of the parish etc. before mentioning the parents, followed by the baby's name and then the Godparents. If you are lucky the baby's name will be noted in the margin, or underscored in the text. This can be a godsend when there is no index and you must search page by page. Some parishes included the day and time of the birth and even the name of the midwife.
MARRIAGE records often include the name of the father of the bride and groom, but less often that of the mother. Read the act carefully, if the parish is spread out, the marriage (unlike the baptism) may have taken place in one of the rural churches within the parish and this will be noted. I have seen small versions of a family tree with the record showing that the couple were not related until the 3rd degree, or noting that dispensation was obtained.
CRESIMA records are usually just lists of names with the sponsors names noted. If the surname is a common one along with a common first name I don't recommend wasting time checking these books.
DEATH records are another time waster. Unless you need a death date for some reason (to confirm a second marriage) do not use the parish death records. They rarely list more than the age and/or parents/spouse names. The indexes (if there are any) will be very repetitive and you will have to check each record for the same name. If your time is short, this is one step you can give up in order to progress your research backwards in time. So many babies, named for their Grandparents died in infancy. It is so difficult to pick out of an index which ones are the ones you are interested in. If the first name and or surname is uncommon you might get lucky quickly, otherwise this is another time waster. Death records usually contain the name of the deceased, their age and if they received the last rites. If the death was of a minor it often includes the father's and maybe the mother's names. During epidemics, the priest occasionally noted the cause of death. i.e. cholera, smallpox etc. I have seen records that went into detail. One was of a man who was killed in a fight in a bar. The priest was obviously not impressed. Another was the drowning death of a young woman. Unless you have time to spare leave death records until another time.
Remember to leave a generous donation to the church. I suggest 2-5 Euro for each record photographed with a minimum of 20 Euro.
← A 'thank you' note that made my day!
http://www.parrocchiemap.it/ was suggested by Lucia as an alternative to the Catholic church site I mentioned in the first paragraph. I had never used this site, but will do from now on. It is much easier to navigate, has photos of the churches, names, address and phone numbers of the parish priest, times of the mass and even links to Google maps to show you where the parish is located in the town. It will even show you other parishes in the area and how close they are to where your ancestor lived. Thank you Lucia. A great suggestion.
Thank you Ann for a well researched and presented article! I includes so much information that I didn't know I needed. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and practical know-how!


It's income tax season. My usual approach to the task is to delay as long as legally possible, then scowl, fret and sweat my way through the incomprehensible labyrinth of Canada Revenue's T1 form.
This year, I'm subscribing to the spoonful-of-sugar doctrine and tackling the job early and with a positive mind set. So, here goes.
We have income — that's good.
We have taxable income — even better.
We have enough to share — those charitable donations not only reduce tax, but apparently make you feel just as good as eating chocolate.
I bought a programme that does all the arithmetic so I don't get hung up with wrong numbers.
Having the year summed up in tidy columns of plus and minus is rather satisfying in a control freak kind of way.
But doing my taxes reminds me there is so much more to life than the getting and spending of money. In 2015 I wrote a contemporary romance (it's in the rewrite stages now). I outlined an historical romance. I wrote 89 blog posts, some here, others at my church blog and still others for International Christian Fiction Writers. I wrote a Christmas short story and a Christmas play.
I planted a garden, tended it, harvested it and filled my freezer with homegrown goodness. I won ribbons at the Fall Fair. I read books, sang in choirs, nurtured my friendships and enjoyed my cats. I went fishing with my husband. I had a birthday. I made Christmas ornaments for my great nieces and nephews. We celebrated 27 years of marriage. I set up this website . . . 2015 was filled with beautiful days, amazing adventures, quiet moments and a few rain storms.
If I use the Canada Revenue model, my 2015 came in high on the benefits side and low on the pains side. I have to pay taxes. Thank goodness! So, there you are, my new approach to the joy of taxes.

Council Leader and Convenor Say "Thank You" to Volunteers
As the ten community hubs set up across the Highlands continue to be busy co-ordinating and providing support to people in need, the Convenor of The Highland Council is keen to pay tribute to all the volunteers working in them.
Cllr Bill Lobban (pictured) said:
"Council staff and volunteers from our partner organisations are working alongside community groups to provide this invaluable local support.
"The response from people wanting to help has been incredible.
"This includes 124 High Life Highland staff who are rolling up their sleeves and volunteering alongside our staff across all the hubs to deliver assistance to those most in need.
"I would like to thank each and every one of them for their hard work.
"Their support is invaluable to communities across the Highlands.
"Over 40 High Life Highland staff have also volunteered to help at the newly established key worker childcare hubs and they have joined council staff volunteers in developing a wide range of activities and support for the children of key workers.
"Their enthusiasm, ideas and energy have contributed to the creation of a really positive team dynamic."
His praise is shared with those of the Council Leader Margaret Davidson who last week thanked volunteer staff from Eden Court who have been helping to answer thousands of calls coming in on the Council's busy Covid-19 help-line.
Reiterating her thanks to all council staff and staff from Eden Court and High Life Highland she added:
"What more can I say than a massive 'thank-you- to everyone volunteering and providing support.
"Their selflessness and determination to come together at a time of acute need is quite incredible.
"It's fair to say that every element of normal life has been affected in some way by this devastating virus but seeing the "can do" spirit and the dedication demonstrated by our own staff and those from High Life Highland and Eden Court has been extremely heartening and underlines the compassionate and caring approach of people in Highland."
Ian Ross, Chair of High Life Highland said:
"High Life Highland has a history of a strong and effective relationship with Highland Council, but the recent unprecedented times have further strengthened this key partnership and allowed us to work closely with The Highland Council in delivering for communities across the Highlands.
"I am very proud of all the High Life Highland staff involved who are volunteering in communities while on furlough leave, using their skills and local knowledge from their day-jobs to help those most in need.
"I would like to join The Highland Council's Convenor and the Leader to add my personal thanks to the HLH volunteers for the important contribution they are making to The Highland Council's community support effort during these times."

Volleyball season preview: Experience to lead the way
Aug/26/2011 | POSTED BY Mary Ann Mitchell
Players on the UMSL Tritons volleyball team huddle up before a match. The 2011 season is set to begin Labor Day Weekend.
Coming off its third straight 20-win season and a berth to the NCAA Regionals for the first time in 15 years, the University of Missouri–St. Louis volleyball team looks poised for another strong season with a handful of key contributors returning.
The UMSL Tritons will look to continue its recent dominance under the direction of first-year head coach Ryan Young. Although in his first season at the helm, Young is no stranger to the program having served as assistant coach last year.
Young inherits a team led by talented and experienced seniors Weslie Gaff, Shelby Crawford, and Erin Higgins. All three were all-Great Lakes Valley Conference selections in 2010.
Gaff was a first-team all-league selection at middle hitter last season after leading the team with 281 kills, 83 blocks and a .346 hitting percentage. Higgins, an opposite and outside attacker, earned second-team all-GLVC honors with 212 kills and 59 blocks, while Crawford, another opposite side attacker, was tabbed as a third-team all-GLVC selection after posting 244 kills and a .295 hitting percentage.
The Tritons also return sophomore Corinne Hoekstra to the net. She started 26 matches in her initial playing season and averaged 1.20 kills and 0.69 blocks per set.
The direction of the offense appears to be in good hands with the return of sophomore setter Anna McNulty, who led the squad with 650 assists (6.13 apg) and 29 service aces, while adding 1.39 digs per set in a 6-2 offense.
Other returning letterwinners include junior Liz Jaeger and sophomores Chelsea Burkle and Tabatha Albers. Burkle saw the most playing time of those three a year ago, averaging 1.18 kills, 0.69 blocks and 0.40 digs per set, but all three are expected to vie for significant playing time left void by outside hitters Liz Cook, a four-year standout who graduated and Kelsie Rankin, who will redshirt this season due to an injury after starting 28 matches and recording 2.43 kills per set in 2010.
The Tritons will also welcome four newcomers looking to make an immediate impact, including juniors Katie Haseltine, Jennie Manis and Haley Woods and freshman Alisha Skaggs.
Haseltine, Manis and Skaggs will all look to help bolster the back row, while Woods will look for time at the setter position.
Haseltine last played at the University of North Alabama in Florence from 2007-08 after a four-year career at Nerinx Hall in Webster Groves, Mo., where she was a four-time all-district and two-time first team all-conference honoree.
Manis comes to UMSL from John A. Logan Community College in Carterville, Ill., where she earned first team all-conference and All-Region 24 honors after averaging 5.5 digs per set and helping her team to two NJCAA Region 24 championships.
Skaggs was a four-time all-conference and all-region honoree at Washington (Mo.) High School and also earned honorable mention all-state honors as a senior after recording 296 kills, 322 digs and 42 service aces.
Woods averaged 4.6 assists, 2.3 digs and 1.8 assists per set last season at Illinois Central College in East Peoria, Ill., while helping her team to a sixth place finish at the national tournament.
UMSL will open the 2011 campaign Sept. 2 and Sept. 3 by hosting the Tritons Classic. They entertain Wayne State (Detroit) and Gannon University (Erie, Pa.) on Sept. 2 at 10 a.m. and 5:30 p.m., respectively before facing the University of North Alabama and Lindenwood University (St. Charles, Mo.) on Sept. 3 at 11:30 a.m. and 7 p.m., respectively.

Waterloo Action centre is a great community centre, I enjoy sharing dress making skills on Tuesday and the Happy Bus Pass Outings each Wednesday.
I look forward to Tuesdays and Thursdays and to meeting my friends, as I live on my own it is something nice to look forward to.
I look forward to coming and meeting with other people. On Tuesdays I enjoy the lunch, on Thursdays I shop and help to prepare it.
I enjoy the Happy Bus Pass outings, going to places you wouldn't go on your own, meeting new people and it leads to going other places. The value I get from the computer course is that I can now send e-mails to relations abroad.
The Choir is a joy, it lifts the spirits, makes you feel happy for the day and the day after. Its wonderful. Grace the tutor is excellent. I really enjoy it.
When I received my first e-mail I really felt part of the 21st Century. Everyone needs to know how to use computers nowadays and WAC provided my break through. The dances and exercise here helped me rely less on my stick and I have been to some great places with the Happy Bus Pass Outings. There is fun and friendship Every where should have a WAC.
"It does me so much good"
"It helped me after my operation and I am still attending when I can"
"Lunch is a lovely social occasion for us!"
"It's lovely to have lunch and meet up with friends"
"I don't know what I would do or how I would manage without it"
"The friends we make here over lunch, we keep going outside of WAC"
"It's nice to have this especially when it is too cold to go outside and play petanque"
"Walking does not do as much for strengthening the bones and muscles as Line Dancing".
"I find the Line Dancing helps to keep the body and mind active and the companionship is good for the soul".

Thursday, November 26, 2020 — Football
Manchetser City keen on £63m striker with more goals than Jesus and Sterling put together
Image source: Sport
Manchester City are monitoring the situation of Lautaro Martínez at Inter Milan, as head coach Pep Guardiola is keen on a potential replacement for Sergio Aguero, claim FC Inter News. His contract is up in 2021, so Martinez could pick up where Aguero left off next year.
The 23-year-old has been in fine form for the Nerazzurri this season, but his future is uncertain due to interest from us, Barcelona and Real Madrid. Inter are desperate to tie him down to a long-term, but Guardiola rates him highly and should be given a lot of money to sign Aguero's eventual heir.
Martinez has gone on to make 96 appearances in all competitions since joining Inter from Racing in 2018, scoring 36 goals with 10 assists. This season, the Argentine international has netted six goals and made two assists in 12 games across the board. Martinez has even scored 11 goals and made two assists in 21 games for his country.

An amazing video has emerged that shows a freerunner jump between the ledges on the 43rd floor of Dubai's Sofitel Hotel. Russian daredevil Oleg Sherstyachenko uploaded footage of the vertigo-inducing stunt to his YouTube channel, showing him look down on the city below, before running and jumping between several pillars without a safety net. The stunt was recorded with a head-mounted camera.
Since being published on 5 May the video has gone viral over social media, attaining more than 1.3 million views on YouTube. This is not the first time Sherstyachenko has tried a death-defying stunt, with his Instagram page showing him scaling various skyscrapers in both Dubai and Hong Kong.

Billed as 'redefining London's fitness landscape', the newly opened private gym club Third Space Tower Bridge has been designed with a strong spa and wellness sensibility by specialist spa, wellness and hotel designers Sparcstudio.
A comprehensive makeover of the site, which was formerly 37 Degrees, aimed to create a genuine 'club feel' for the company's third London property, with standout elements of the 2,601sqm space including a Hot Yoga studio, interactive lighting design and a pool suite with juniper log hot zones.
Sparcstudio's Beverley Bayes says Third Space's '360-degree' approach to intelligent, holistic, healthy living very much influenced the design and the gym user's journey was considered in a similar way to that of a spa guest, with a sense of drama and energy built in.
From the reception/clubroom, members pass through a darkened 'transition zone', with an interactive sensory light wall by Jason Bruges Studio, before entering a double-height fitness hall.
Most recent to open was the Hot Yoga studio (bottom right) – a space that Bayes says has purity at its very heart.


I managed to finish three new garments last week. (I watch Project Runway while I'm sewing. Makes me feel more legit.) I only planned on two, but I ended up having a little extra fabric, so I was able to squeeze out one more.
First up is this fancy little shirt with a peter pan collar. The fabric is super light and perfect for hot summers. I already want to wear it everywhere.
Next we have a striped tank dress. I have made this pattern before, but with sleeves. I was really nervous to work with a stripe, since its pretty obvious if it turns out crooked then, but I have to start somewhere!
I had a little extra of the stripe material, since I didn't make any sleeves, so I made it work with another tank top pattern! I like all the different stripe angles. I think this design would lay a little better with a more flowy fabric, but it was nice to get used to the pattern, and its definitely still wearable!

LSA 2013: CityGrid's Finger Bets on Vertical Revival
Seven years ago, in 2006, we began evangelizing a vision of local media driven by vertical specialties. These would drive high value leads with better, more relevant searches. In this light, Google was seen as a "perpetual vertical machine," driving every query higher and higher up the food chain.
The vertical revolution never happened — at least to the extent that we envisioned it. There have been many successful vertical breakouts, but a lot of the vertical vision has been preempted by horizontal media that have incorporated verticalization. In recent years, many cross-the-board platforms have diminished the need to verticalize.
Going forward, CityGrid Media CEO Jason Finger thinks that's wrong-headed. Speaking with Greg Sterling at The Local Search Association meeting in Las Vegas April 16, Finger said the local community has given up too soon on the vertical vision.
"People are taking a broad approach, but the world is evolving towards specialization," says Finger, who had a major vertical success earlier in his career with Seamless, the online food ordering company, and ZocDoc, the doctor scheduling service. Local sites such as CityGrid have fallen into this as well. They have "tried to be all things to all people," but the key is to "lean into leads very aggressively."
Finger says the next generation of local leads will be ruled by "connection types" that "provide high quality ROI, and then get deeper." They might schedule an appointment, manage as a CRM tool, provide transactional services or rely on call management, he says. "Merchants will demand that service providers get more sophisticated and adapt this kind of pricing," he suggests.
This means a fundamental shift away from eyeballs to utility. Tools that provide good utility will prove more sustainable than generalized information, even if they are not the highest traffic drivers. A third ranked source of traffic might be more important to the sustainability of a site than the number one source.
It also means a shift in sales strategies. The historical approach of being a comprehensive directory required "a very large sales effort," says Finger. Newer efforts may be better off with mid-sized or smaller sales team that can build out their capabilities in specific verticals.

Game Review #350: Castlevania Anniversary Collection (Nintendo Switch)
Reviewer: Chad M.
Category: Action, Adventure, Arcade, Fighting
Release Date: 5.16.2019
Price (at time of review): $19.99
Buy Castlevania Anniversary Collection from the Nintendo Switch eShop here.
When Collections Come Together
Okay, it's confession time yet again: I was completely obsessed with the Castlevania games as child, but my lord, was I atrocious at them! It wasn't until I was in high school that I could go back and play them with a little bit more poise and maturity so I wouldn't rage-quit like I did when I was a kid, slamming down my Yoo-Hoo and storming out, only to come back and play something much more my speed, like Super Mario Bros 2.
I wanted to vanquish the evil blood-sucking bastards, but I just couldn't do it. Now, as an adult, I've traded my Yoo-Hoo in for Diet Cherry Dr. Pepper, and I love playing—and actually being able to defeat—these classic games that have literally shaped the gaming world forever. I was never big into the ROM scene, so it's been hell trying to get a hold of these classic games to play them—legally—at home or on the go. Konami has done something quite great though: they've started to make anniversary collections of their games for current consoles, and that means for the Switch as well, which means we can play them on the go!
The collection is being released as part of the Konami 50th Anniversary celebration, which allows us to relive these timeless classics that helped define the platformer genre. From the Belmont clan to their extended bloodlines and allies, the Castlevania Anniversary Collection is the best first step for anyone to take into the world of Castlevania and the fight against Dracula! So, jump back in with me as I check to see how this collection stacks up.
It Takes a Killer to Hunt a Killer
The most basic premise that I can give is that Castlevania is largely set in the eponymous castle of Count Dracula, and the main antagonist is of the Belmont Clan of vampire hunters. That's it... This is the core story, repeating itself in slightly different ways each time.
From there, each title has its own storyline, and if you want to learn the lore, then I highly implore you to check out the included booklet, and also jump onto the inter-webs and look into their stories—but be warned: some of these timelines contradict one another, so some is canon, some is not. Overall, though, the stories are amazing, with some being better than others, and if you get a chance to watch the Netflix show, then please do—and be prepared for a master class in Castlevania, as the show is superb.
We Got Games! A Bunch of Games!
The first thing you have to prepare yourself for is that your personal favorite Castlevania game may not be here. I was looking for Dracula X: Rondo of Blood, Aria of Sorrow and obviously, Symphony of the Night, but I quickly adjusted my expectations, as I knew this would be some of the older games, not so much the more popular games, since this is for the 50th year anniversary of Konami. The games here are what I'd expect for a first volume, so I'm hoping there is a second and third volume, as I know Konami has to love making extra money off games just sitting there collecting dust. The games included are the following:
Castlevania II: Simon's Quest
Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse
Castlevania: The Adventure
Castlevania II: Belmont's Revenge
Castlevania: Bloodlines
Kid Dracula (never before released in North America)
Of course, having the original classic is a must; but really, the first three are here, and lay the foundation for the series itself and side-scrolling action adventure games for years to come. Super Castlevania IV is one of my favorites in the series, and it's glorious in its port here. Castlevania: The Adventure was the first in the series to appear on the GameBoy, and it wasn't one of my personal favorites, as I didn't like the way it controlled. Castlevania II: Belmont's Revenge, the second on GameBoy, was much better, in my opinion, as it plays quite a bit better and is a solid game. Castlevania: Bloodlines was a Sega Genesis exclusive—now finally on Nintendo—and before this collection, I'd never played it; and boy oh boy, it's a great game! This was the first time in the series that you were able to choose your character, with one not wielding a whip, but rather, a trident-type spear. Finally, we have the game that may feel extremely out of place—but it is a Castlevania game—and that's Kid Dracula. Before this release, it had never seen a North American release, as it had originally released exclusively in Japan on the Famicom system.
Those Belmont's Got the Moves
The first three games handle quite the same, and I had zero lag from control input, but one complaint—and really, my only complaint—is that, if you don't like the button layout, it cannot be changed. Only the newer games like Super Castlevania IV give you the option to change up the button scheme, and this seems like a missed opportunity, as everything else is here in spades.
I was never a fan of how the first GameBoy entry, Castlevania: The Adventure, controlled, as it felt sluggish and slow, like time was being slowed down. Belmont's Revenge controls and handles quite a bit better; even though it still moves a little slow, I saw this as a huge improvement from the first GameBoy title.
Super Castlevania IV and Bloodlines handle brilliantly, and you can play around with the button scheme if needed. Kid Dracula is a different bag, though. If I had to explain the gameplay of this one, it wouldn't be comparing it to the original Castlevania, but rather, Mega Man. Everything from the way the protagonist jumps and shoots reminds me of the classic Mega Man titles' controls, and it was quite a lot of fun. It was also nice to get my hands on a classic title from a series I love.
Can Dracula Bring It All Together?
What caught me off guard the most out of this amazing collection was the digital book that comes along with the game, called The History of Castlevania – Book of the Crescent Moon. This is an 80-page book that screams to be made into a physical edition. The book includes all the games' original box art, front and back, including their Japanese counterparts, which are really interesting, and let you see who got the better art. It's also cool to see just how different the different regions are as well. My personal favorite part was that Castlevania: Bloodlines was called Vampire Killer in Japan, and the cover looks very different and more mature. Past this, you get even more detail, as well as an interview with the Netflix Castlevania show-runner, and even classic character and level designs.
Audio & Visuals
Here I just want to write "DUH", because this series is known for always looking and sounding phenomenal. The sounds in all the games are great, and sound classic—as they should—with the soundtracks being the standout. The music in the games has depth, and will bring massive amounts of joy to fans new and old alike, as the soundtracks are superb. I wish you could access just the soundtracks within the game on their own. They're including an update in the future that will allow you to get the soundtrack music from the Japanese versions of some of the games as well.
The visuals are glorious, and in every game, they just kept getting better—even Kid Dracula, which was a standout for me. You can change quite a lot with the borders of the screens, and you can also add filters and such, which is especially effective when playing the GameBoy titles.
It's A Wrap!!!
This is an amazing collection, and I can only hope that Konami continues to ride this wave of popularity from its classic properties and puts out more collections, especially more volumes of the Castlevania series! This collection is a must-own for Switch owners, even if you own every original game cartridge. Having this set available in portable form is a must, as getting to play titles like Bloodlines and Kid Dracula on the go is pure bliss. So, don't waste time, get it now!

A Vernon man who admitted receiving some 20 kilograms of cocaine between March 2008 and April of this year was sentenced Monday to 10 years in federal prison.
The sentence imposed on the man, Hedric Velez, 35, formerly of 96-B Prospect St., was virtually a foregone conclusion as a result of his plea bargain in the case.
Velez had pleaded guilty in September to conspiring to distribute 5 kilograms or more of cocaine, a crime that carries a mandatory minimum prison sentence of 10 years.
Senior Judge Peter C. Dorsey, who sits in U.S. District Court in New Haven, theoretically could have imposed a longer prison term. But Velez's plea agreement gave him the right to appeal any sentence longer than 10 years, giving the judge an incentive not to impose such a sentence.
Investigators learned through wiretaps that Velez was one of multiple suppliers of cocaine to Wilberto Huertas, who in turn was selling the cocaine to at least six dealers, according to a sentencing memorandum by prosecutor Geoffrey M. Stone.
The investigation centered on drug distribution by members and associates of the Latin Kings street gang.
Stone acknowledged that Velez "is not identified as a gang member." But the prosecutor said that Velez's customer, Huertas, was a member of the gang and was distributing cocaine to other Latin Kings, who controlled the drug trade in certain parts of Hartford.
Charges are pending against Huertas, court records show.
Velez received his cocaine by mail from Puerto Rico.
Postal inspectors intercepted an Express Mail package to Velez on April 27 and determined that it contained just over a kilogram of powder cocaine, Stone wrote.
Law-enforcement personnel then delivered the package to Velez's home at 96-B Prospect St. in Vernon, and he accepted it, the prosecutor wrote.
A subsequent law-enforcement search of the residence uncovered small amounts of heroin and marijuana as well as various drug paraphernalia, including a digital scale, according to the prosecutor.
Velez was initially arrested on state drug charges and later indicted at the federal level.
In a written statement given after his arrest, Velez said he initially was paid $500 to receive and deliver the packages of cocaine, Stone wrote. But Velez said he later began selling the cocaine in the packages himself, making about a $2,000 profit on each kilogram and shipping $25,000 to $34,000 in cash to Puerto Rico as payment for the cocaine.
It was in that statement that he admitted receiving about 20 kilograms of cocaine, according to the prosecutor.
Defense lawyer Charles F. Willson of East Hartford said in his sentencing memorandum that Velez has no criminal history. Willson added that state prosecutors are expected to drop the drug charges pending against him in Vernon Superior Court.

Descendants of Abraham Pallot and Marie Messervy
Descendants of Abraham Pallot
Captain Nicolas Pallot (1793-1870), Master Mariner and Shipowner
See Descendants of Abraham Pallot for a second version of this tree, which agrees with early generations but shows a different wife for Jean at generation five and a descendancy from there. One of the trees has to be wrong because the Jean who married Marie Le Seelleur in St Helier in 1819 (as shown in this tree) cannot be the same Jean who married Judith de la Rue in St Helier two years later, as shown in the other tree. We have not yet been able to reconcile this inaccuracy, but suspect that both Jeans were born in 1797, and one was the son of Jean and Esther Aubin, also of St Martin
Please note that this tree, which was added to the site in 2011, has not been cross-checked against parish church records, but the new tree has undergone a full check. That does not mean that this tree has not got the marriage of Jean (1797- ) correct.
A further review in 2022 resulted in the addition of further details and appears to confirm the descendancy shown here

CANBERRA, AUSTRALIA Australia's prime minister on Thursday called a May 18 election that will be fought on issues including climate change, asylum seekers and economic management.
But to secure your future, the road ahead depends on a strong economy. And that's why there is so much at stake at this election, he added.
Morrison remains proud of virtually stopping people-smuggler boat traffic. He has a trophy shaped like a people-smuggler's boat in his office inscribed with I Stopped These.
Labor Prime Minister Kevin Rudd immediately signed up to the U.N.'s 1997 Kyoto Protocol on reducing emissions. Australia and the United States had been the only industrialized countries to hold out.
Labor has also promised to spend an additional AU$2.3 billion ($1.6 billion) over four years on covering treatment costs of cancer patients. It's an attractive offer with half Australia's population expected to be diagnosed with some form of the disease in their lifetimes.


Before the action takes place, a battle has been fought between Oberto, Count of San Boniface, and the Salinguerra, led by Ezzelino da Romana. Oberto has lost and has retreated to Mantua. Meanwhile, his daughter Leonora has been seduced and abandoned by Riccardo, Count of Salinguerra, and Riccardo is about to marry Cuniza, Ezzelino's sister. Leonora makes her way to Bassano on Riccardo's wedding day, intent on confronting him.
Riccardo is welcomed by a chorus as he is about to enter Ezzelino's palace. He sings of his joy at being close to Cuniza (Son fra voi! Già sorto è il giorno...Già parmi udire il fremito - "Here I am amongst you! The day hasted by my desire has now arrived"). They enter the castle. Leonora arrives swearing to avenge Riccardo's desertion and she sings of the love which she had and a hope of recovering those innocent days (Sotto il paterno tetto...Oh potessi nel mio core- "Beneath my father's roof an angel appeared to me"). She leaves to go towards the village.
Meanwhile her father, Oberto, arrives pleased to be back in his home country but unsure of Leonora's whereabouts. When Leonora returns, each is aware of the other's presence and father and daughter are reunited. They express amazement at having found each other again. But, Oberto's initial anger at Leonora's actions quickly turn to fatherly affection as the pair makes plans to disrupt the wedding.
The chorus sings a welcome to the happy bride but, alone with Riccardo, Cuniza expresses some forebodings in spite of expressing her love for him. (Questa gioia che il petto m'innonda - "This joy that overwhelms my breast is mingled with a mysterious fear").
She then hides Oberto in a nearby room and invites Riccardo and his guests to join her. Open entering, Cuniza reveals Leonora's presence and accuses her lover of infidelity. Riccardo's accusations against Leonora prompt her father to enter and challenge Riccardo to a duel.
Cuniza and Imelda are alone and the servant announces that Riccardo wishes to speak to her mistress. Cuniza laments the love she had, but following her aria, Oh, chi torna l'ardente pensiero - "Oh, who can turn my fevered thoughts", she instructs Imelda to tell Riccardo that he should return to Leonora, concluding in Più che i vezzi e lo splendore - "More persuasive to my conscience" that she has made the right decision.
The courtiers gather and express their sympathy for Leonora's plight. As they leave, Oberto enters, waiting for his rival to appear. He proclaims that he will seek vengeance: (Aria: L'orror del tradimento - "The horror of his betrayal"). The courtiers return to tell him that Cuniza has interceded on his behalf and that he has nothing to fear from Riccardo, but Oberto's thoughts still focus on vengeance. Riccardo finally arrives and they begin to fight, but are soon stopped Cuniza who arrives with Leonora. The former insists that Riccardo admit his infidelity and agrees to marry Leonora. Still determined to fight his rival, Oberto extracts an agreement from Riccardo that they will soon meet in the woods. Oberto leaves the group to go into the woods; all leave. Offstage, the sound of a duel in progress can be heard and it is followed by Riccardo's arrival. He realizes that he has killed Oberto (Aria: Ciel che feci? - "Heavens, what have I done!") and he is filled with remorse. Then Imedla and Cuniza appear explaining that Leonora is prostrate over the dead body of her father. Soon a letter arrives from Riccardo explaining that he has gone into exile leaving everything he possesses to Leonora. In her grief, she announces that she will become a hermit.

At Woolly Mammoth, we launch bold new theatrical ideas with the highest possible production values and a deeply engaged audience. We stand out as one of America's few major theatres with a subscription season exclusively devoted to new work. Over the last thirty-nine years we have experimented with many different approaches, responded to feedback from dozens of playwrights and directors, and both absorbed and led important changes in the field.
The resources we currently devote to new play development include a company of artists that includes playwrights, directors, designers, and actors; a dramaturgical staff that works closely with our connectivity department to build research partnerships with federal and local experts; and a beautiful 265-seat theatre in the heart of the nation's capital. Unlike the cramped storefronts in which risky new work typically premieres, our theatre provides modern technology and a soaring space that challenges artists to imagine events of the highest theatricality. Above all, Woolly Mammoth offers artists a youthful, open-minded audience that has embraced our unique mission to push the form and content of American theatre in brave new directions.
World Premieres and Commissions
World premieres make up a significant percentage of the plays we produce; the remainder generally consists of plays receiving their second or third productions, giving playwrights and generative artists a further opportunity to hone their work.
New plays premiered at Woolly Mammoth have been produced from New York to London to Helsinki, in more than 250 theatres all over the world. Woolly plays have gone on to extended runs Off-Broadway and productions at a wide variety of regional theatres (both large and very small) and have been produced at colleges and universities across the country. Seventeen plays that premiered at Woolly Mammoth have been commercially published, including six in Plays from Woolly Mammoth (Broadway Play Publishing, 1999). Woolly Mammoth was also the national pilot theatre for First Look Press (a division of Playscripts, Inc.), which makes printed scripts available to audiences from the first preview.
Thanks to our "Free the Beast!" fund, Woolly has given three full commissions and four completion commissions to playwrights since 2012, with more on the way. These writers include Aaron Posner, whose Stupid Fucking Bird received the Helen Hayes Award for Outstanding New Play, and the Helen Hayes Award-winning Robert O'Hara, whose Woolly premiere Bootycandy debuted in New York at Playwrights Horizons in the fall of 2014. Other commissioned writers include Mia Chung, Nikkole Salter, Lisa D'Amour, Sheila Callaghan, and Gregory S. Moss.
New Play Development Partnerships
Woolly Mammoth's charter membership in the National New Play Network highlights its national role in new play development. In our 2010/11 season, we participated in the NNPN "rolling world premiere" of Luis Alfaro's Oedipus el Rey alongside The Magic Theatre and The Theater at Boston Court. In our 2013/14 season, we produced Peter Sinn Nachtrieb's The Totalitarians in a rolling world premiere with New Orleans' Southern Repertory Theatre and San Francisco's Z Space.
Additionally, Woolly Mammoth collaborates with a network of colleagues across the country who have contributed space, expertise, and other resources to many Woolly world premieres in development. These partners include Playwrights Horizons, The Lark, New Dramatists, The Public Theater, The Civilians, The Lake George Theater Lab, Seattle Repertory Theatre, The Black Women Playwright's Group, The Wexner Center, and others.
Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company does not accept unsolicited scripts. However, in an effort to support the Washington, DC artistic community, we do accept unsolicited ten-page samples exclusively from writers living in the DC area. Before submitting material, we strongly encourage you to read our mission statement, research our production history, and/or see a production here in order to acquire a sense of Woolly Mammoth's interests and aesthetic.
To be considered, please send a letter of inquiry, a synopsis of your play, and a ten-page sample. All material must be submitted electronically to the following e-mail address: submissions@woollymammoth.net. You will receive an automatic electronic confirmation that we received your submission. If we would like to request the full script, we will contact you again.

Bollywood Box Office: November 2-4, 2018
Badhaai Ho dominated the box office for a third consecutive weekend, earning $329,042 from 107 theaters ($3,075 average) from November 2-4, 2018, according to Bollywood Hungama. With $2,653,882 in earnings so far, it needs another $360,000 to move past Raazi into third place for the year.
Erin Fraser of the Bollywood Is For Lovers podcast chides me on Twitter whenever I point out instances of poorly reviewed films performing better in Canada than in the United States (as I did last week regarding Namaste England). Well, Erin, you'll be happy to know that 5 Weddings made just $34 from one Canadian theater over the weekend, but a whopping $156 from the lone US theater showing it. You win this round, Canada! The romantic comedy has a ten-day total of $12,622.
Other Hindi movies still showing in North American theaters:
Baazaar: Week 2; $40,188 from 40 theaters; $1,005 average; $292,994 total
Andhadhun: Week 5; $66,524 from 22 theaters; $3,024 average; $1,193,046 total
Namaste England: Week 3; $474 from three theaters; $158 average; $107,851 total
Helicopter Eela: Week 4; $123 from one theater; $71,651 total

Bollywood Box Office: October 19-21, 2018
It's time to officially declare 2018 Ayushmann Khurrana's year, right? Two weeks after scoring a surprise hit with Andhadhun, his followup release Badhaai Ho took the North American box office by storm. From October 19-21, the family comedy earned $822,801 from 107 theaters ($7,690 average), according to 143 Cinema. That's the third-best opening weekend average for the year. Andhadhun is still going strong, taking in $147,779 from 62 theaters* ($2,384 average), according to Box Office Mojo, which puts the thriller's total at $959,504 thus far.
The weekend's other new release — Namaste England — was crushed by the Khurrana juggernaut. Per Box Office Mojo, the romantic comedy sequel earned just $67,612 from 71 theaters. That's a per-screen average of $952. I'm curious to see how Namaste England's failure affects the release plans for another film starring the movie's lead duo of Parineeti Chopra and Arjun Kapoor — Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar, currently on the calendar for a March, 2019 debut.
Helicopter Eela has the dubious distinction of posting the worst second-weekend per-screen average for the year. It made $535 from seven theaters — an average of $76 per theater. Oy. It has total earnings of $70,966, according to Bollywood Hungama.
Other Bollywood movies still in North American theaters (per Bollywood Hungama):
Sui Dhaaga: Week 4; $2,391 from ten theaters; $239 average; $1,160,677 total
Loveyatri: Week 3; $83 from one theater; $119,084 total
*Concerns about the accuracy of Bollywood Hungama's reporting led me to switch to Box Office Mojo's data for Andhadhun. BOM reported that Andhadhun actually added six theaters last weekend, which contradicts one of my main points in last week's box office report (based on Bollywood Hungama's info). Oops. Nevertheless, Andhadhun and Queen are still the only Hindi movies in the last decade to earn more in their second weekend's while following a traditional release format in North America.

Andhadhun just did something incredible. In its second weekend of release, it earned more money than it did in its opening weekend! And on five fewer screens, no less! From October 12-14, 2018, Andhadhun earned $267,719 from 49 theaters in North America ($5,464 average), according to Bollywood Hungama. That's almost $16,000 more than last weekend.
In the last decade, I found two other Hindi movies that also out-earned their opening weekend in their second weekend in North America, both in 2014 and both with mitigating factors. The Lunchbox had a slow theatrical rollout, starting out in three theaters and finally reaching its peak theater count of 176 in its ninth week of release. Queen — which employed a more traditional release strategy, like Andhadhun — also earned more in its second weekend, but it added eleven theaters to do so. The only other movies to come close — Kahaani and Pink, which held on to 97% and 99% of their opening weekend business in their second weekends, respectively — also added theaters after strong first weekends. For Andhadun to out-earn its opening weekend while actually losing theaters is a really big deal. Its total stands at $702,335.
The weekend's lone new release, Helicopter Eela, failed to take off, bringing in $47,299 from 70 theaters in the United States and Canada. That's a per-screen average of just $676.
Bollywood Hungama didn't post data from the five Canadian theaters showing Sui Dhaaga: Made in India, but the film earned $34,067 from 40 US theaters ($852 average) in its third weekend of release. That means its total is somewhere north of the $1,101,594 we can officially account for.
Other Hindi movies still showing in North America:
Loveyatri: Week 2; $8,234 from 15 theaters; $549 average; $116,388 total
Stree: Week 7; $278 from two theaters; $139 average; $843,430 total

The international boxing association (AIBA) on Wednesday served a one-year suspension and slapped a fine of 1000 Swiss francs (Rs 66,000) on L Sarita Devi for refusing to accept her bronze medal at the 2014 Asian Games.
The decision came as a relief for the Indian woman boxer who was staring at the possibility of a life ban.
Sarita had refused to accept the medal on the podium, protesting her controversial loss in the semifinals. Her suspension period begins on October 1, 2014 (the day of the Asian Games medal ceremony) and ends on October 1, 2015, during which she would not be able to participate in any national or international competitions.
Men's national coach Gurbax Singh Sandhu and another coach Sagar Mal Dhayal have been let off but India's long-time foreign coach, Cuban Blas Iglesias Fernandez, was slapped a two-year ban and fined 2000 Swiss francs, the ban being effective from October 1, 2014.
The AIBA's disciplinary committee also banned Sarita's personal coach Lenin Meitei for one year and suspended for two years her husband Thoiba Singh from entering any venue hosting international and domestic boxing events.
While Boxing India and the Indian Olympic Association have welcomed the development, the Sports Ministry has requested AIBA to reconsider its decision. Sports Minister Sarbananda Sonowal said the decision would have a demoralising effect on the boxer.
"She is and will remain one of the prospective representatives of the country in future international sporting events. Banning her for one year at this juncture will have a demoralising effect on her consistency and good performance in the arena.
"It may also affect the promotion and development of boxing in India," Sonowal said in a statement on Wednesday.
" The Government of India is of the considered view that the issue of Sarita Devi should be dealt with a sympathetic manner by the authorities. The Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports, Govt of India, has been pursuing the matter since the beginning and will continue to pursue it further at all appropriate forums dealing with the subject for a review of the decision of banning Sarita Devi," it said.
