Home/Entertainment/US records fewer than 100,000 average daily Covid cases for the first time since August
US records fewer than 100,000 average daily Covid cases for the first time since August
Average daily COVID-19 cases in the U.S. have fallen below 100,000 for the first time in more than two months as the fourth wave of the pandemic shows further signs of receding.
On Thursday, officials recorded 100,083 new cases of the virus with a seven-day rolling average of 99,893, data from Johns Hopkins University show, a decrease of 33.5 percent from the rolling average of 150,356 reported four weeks ago.
This also marks the lowest number reported since August 5, when the seven-day rolling average sat at 98,518.
Hospitalizations have also fallen with 67,321 seeking care, a 33 percent drop from the 101,000 patients recorded this same time last month, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
The overall number of Covid deaths has risen on the other hand, but the pace of new fatalities is continuing to decelerate.
A total of 2,392 virus-related fatalities were recorded on Thursday with a seven-day rolling average of 1,803, an increase from one month ago but a decrease from the last two weeks.
Fourteen days earlier, the average sat at 2,053, meaning that the average has dropped 12.1 percent over the last two weeks.
The growth rate of new deaths has slowed compared to the same time last week, when deaths had risen 45.8 percent over a four-week period and two weeks ago when they had risen 79.3 percent.
However, fatalities are known to be a lagging indicator and often don't start to decline until three or four weeks after cases and hospitalizations do.
Former virus hotspots, particularly states in the South such as Georgia and Texas, have been seeing their metrics improve over the last few weeks.
Experts say they are cautiously optimistic about the latest surge of the pandemic – fueled by the Delta variant – tapering off, but they warn Americans to not declare victory just yet.
On Thursday, the U.S. recorded 100,083 new cases of Covid with a seven-day rolling average of 99,893, a drop of 33.5% from the 150,356 average reported one month ago and the first time the average has fallen below 100,000 since August 5
Hospitalizations have also fallen with 67,321 COVID-19 patients currently seeking care, a 33% drop from the record-high of 101,000 patients
Deaths rose with 2,392 virus-related fatalities recorded on Thursday and a seven-day rolling average of 1,803, a 19.3% increase from the 1,511 average one month, but the growth rate has dramatically slowed
'Along with virtually all of my colleagues, we are smiling quietly,' Dr William Schaffner, an professor of preventative medicine at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, Tennessee, told CNN.
'We haven't put up a "mission accomplished" banner yet, but for sure we think things are improving. New cases and hospitalizations certainly are down, and here and there, we're actually seeing a reduction in deaths.'
Public health experts believe the increased total number of vaccinations have helped case and hospitalization numbers decline dramatically.
At the beginning of August, when the summer surge began to take off, fewer than half of the population was fully vaccinated against COVID-19.
As of Thursday, 56.2 percent of all U.S. residents have completed their vaccine series, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) data show.
Experts say vaccinations are to thank with 56.1% of people fully vaccinated compared to fewer than half the population complete ling their vaccine series when the Delta surge began in August
Schaffner warned that the declines are not happening uniformly across the country and that some regions are seeing sharper drops than others.
'It's obvious that this plateauing and diminution – although you can see it across the country – it is happening more steeply in some parts of the country, the better vaccinated parts, than in other parts of the country, the less vaccinated parts, including my own state of Tennessee,' he told CNN.
'So, although we are clearly making progress, I think we're still in two Americas.'
However, former hotspots of the U.S. pandemic, particularly the South. are now seeing some of the best case rates in the country.
Texas, for example, which was seeing a steep rise in infections and hospitalizations, has been reporting marked declines.
Over the last month, the seven-day rolling average of cases has fallen 44.4 percent from 18,029 per day to 10,007 per day, according to Johns Hopkins data.
Hospitalizations are also dropping across the state including in North Texas, where Dallas is located, and in several Houston-area counties.
We 'tend to be moving in the correct direction,' Steve Love, president and CEO of the Dallas-Fort Worth Hospital Council, told The Dallas Morning News.
'We certainly can't declare victory because with this many people still sick, we've got a long way to go, but we are moving in the right direction.'
Former hotspot Texas has seen COVID-19 cases decline by 44.4% over one month from 18,029 per day to 10,007 per day
Georgia, another former hotspot, is reporting a drop of 53.9% in the seven-day rolling average from 9,400 per day in early September to 4,332 per day on Thursday
Experts credit the improvements to vaccination rates in Texas, which is behind – but not greatly – the nationwide rates, according to CDC data.
As of Friday, 60 percent of the state's total population has received at least one vaccine dose and 51.6 percent are fully vaccinated.
In nearby Georgia, another state that was hit hard by the Delta-fueled fourth wave, cases also appear to be trending downward.
In early September, the Peach State was recording a seven-day rolling average of more than 9,400 new infections per day.
But, as of Thursday, this average has dropped 53.9 percent to 4,332 per day, according to Johns Hopkins.
However, officials are encouraging more residents to get vaccinated with only 55.4 percent of total residents with an initial shot and 46.2 completing their vaccination series, CDC figures reveal.
'I want to emphasize the importance of not waiting until the next wave of COVID cases to get vaccinated,' Gov Brian Kemp said at a recent press conference.
'During our summer surge many Georgians saw first-hand how the delta variant spread more quickly and still led to the deaths of our fellow citizens.'

I've started to loathe renting cars. Not because they aren't high quality nor because of the ridiculous hoops that agencies make you jump through. Rather because each car was designed to "innovate" on a bunch of things that were already good enough. Does it really make a difference if the open trunk button is to the left of the steering wheel, near the radio, or on the floor near the seat? Either designers considered the problem and believe they invented the best place for this button or they didn't give it a second thought. Either way, the fact that every car puts many controls in different "innovative" places means that every time I get in a car, my head spins (literally) trying to find the one I need. This is when I consider innovation a curse, and this is but a trivial example of something that occurs all the time with startups.
Startups begin with a Big Idea that will make the world a better place by providing their customers with something that they need; however, too often, those who have the vision to start companies, also see just how inadequate or ill-designed many other things are as well. Fortunately, they have a solution and so they set out innovating not only on the "Big Idea", but on all those little things that should be better.
The result is that in addition to providing a breakthrough for their customers, they also provide innovations that improve the many things that were already good enough. This places a huge burden on their customers because now they have to invest time relearning things that they didn't think needed any improvement to begin with. While some customers (especially early customers) will push through this and be delighted at all of the innovations, the remainder will see your product as too complex and cling to their existing well-known solution.
A long time ago, a venture capitalist friend mentioned advice he received when starting his fund: The Three Change Rule. He was told by an astute advisor that his fund can be different in no more than three ways and in everything else needed to be exactly the same as others. This does two things. First, it provides a foundation for investors to compare the key areas that you are different (since many things are the same). Second, it forces you to pick only the most important differences to focus on.
As innovators, we think that because we know a better way, all we need to do is educate our users about why they should change and how to change. In this, we try to solve the problem of unfamiliarity by providing documentation. Clearly, the user will see the incredible value of our solution once they read about it. We assume they are going to be as excited about our innovations as we are.
But they aren't. In fact, the necessity of reading documentation in order for them to use your product, will either scare them, or worse, cause them to look elsewhere. Sure, customers are interested to learn the minimum they need to in order to take advantage of "The Big Idea" but everything else just gets in their way. I've begun to view the size of the documentation as a good way of measuring how much you've failed to design the product with your customers in mind. Poor design that is documented is better than poor design without documentation to be sure, but the more documentation that is needed, the more the solution will be rejected by the market.
Just because there is room for innovation in a particular area, doesn't mean that it needs to be improved. Pick three differentiators, and in everything else, be the same.

While I was in Kinburn a couple of weeks ago a friend noticed a miniature horse and what we thought was an Alpaca. We walked across the road and asked the owners if we could check out the animals. There were many more cute and fuzzy creatures than we could see from the road. When we got up close there were goats, the Aplpaca was a Llama, a bunch of miniature horses and their colts, baby ducks, kittens and more! There are many hobby farms in the area and I'm sure they would let you take a peek if you asked!

Q: Use Docker registry with SSL certifictae without IP SANs I have a private Docker registry (using this image) running on a cloud server. I want to secure this registry with basic auth and SSL via nginx. But I am new to SSL and run in some problems:
I created SSL certificates with OpenSSL like this:
openssl req -x509 -batch -nodes -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout private.key -out certificate.crt

Then I copied both files to my cloud server and used it in nginx like this:
upstream docker-registry {
    server localhost:5000;
}

server {

    listen 443;
    proxy_set_header Host       $http_host;
    proxy_set_header X-Real-IP  $remote_addr;

    ssl on;
    ssl_certificate /var/certs/certificate.crt;
    ssl_certificate_key /var/certs/private.key;

    client_max_body_size 0;
    chunked_transfer_encoding on;

    location / {
        auth_basic "Restricted";
        auth_basic_user_file /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/.htpasswd;
        proxy_pass http://XX.XX.XX.XX;
    }
}

Nginx and the registry are starting and running both. I can go to my server in my browser which presents me a warning about my SSL certificate (so nginx runs and finds the SSL certificate) and when I enter my credentials I can see a ping message from the Docker registry (so the registry is also running).
But when I try to login via Docker I get the following error:
vagrant@ubuntu-13:~$ docker login https://XX.XX.XX.XX
Username: XXX
Password:
Email:
2014/05/05 08:30:59 Error: Invalid Registry endpoint: Get https://XX.XX.XX.XX/v1/_ping: x509: cannot validate certificate for XX.XX.XX.XX because it doesn't contain any IP SANs

I know this exception means that I have no IP address of the server in my certificate, but is it possible to use the Docker client and ignore the missing IP?
EDIT:
If I use a certificate with the IP of the server it works. But is there any chance to use a SSL certificate without the IP?

A: It's a Go issue. Actually it's a tech issue and go refused to follow the industry hack thus that's why it's not working. See this https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/golang-nuts/LjhVww0TQi4

The current edition of the John Carroll University Undergraduate Bulletin should be consulted for a full explanation of financial aid, academic guidelines, registration procedures, grading, and courses of instruction. Borromeo seminarians must fulfill all the requirements of John Carroll University and the Borromeo Institute in order to graduate.
The following academic policies have been adopted by the seminary faculty and are specific to Borromeo seminarians. For a complete list of policies and procedures, see the Student Handbook.
Seminarians are expected to attend all classes, to arrive on time for class, and to turn in all papers and assignments on time. Coming late for class, missing class, and turning in papers or assignments late will result in a reduction of the final grade. Exceptions will be granted only in extreme cases and are at the discretion of the instructor.
Seminarians are encouraged to develop competence in Latin, the biblical languages, and Spanish.
The Borromeo Director of Intellectual Formation must give prior approval for all course selections before a seminarian may register at John Carroll University. The general policy is to take courses offered on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays at John Carroll. Courses on the Borromeo campus are offered on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Changing and Dropping Courses
Borromeo seminarians are expected to take a minimum of 15 credit hours each semester. If a student would like to drop or change a course, he must receive the permission of the Director of Intellectual Formation before doing so. The student is expected to communicate with the Director of Intellectual Formation and his Formation Advisor to discuss the reasons for dropping or changing a course.
Any student making a course change or dropping a course without proper permission will be subject to possible disciplinary action as well as possibly losing the diocesan room and board scholarship.
Students who must retake courses that they have failed or from which they have withdrawn may be required to do so at their own expense. This decision is made in consultation with the Rector.
List of Approved Majors for Borromeo Seminary Seminarians
It is expected that Borromeo Seminarians will pursue the Philosophy major. Students are strongly encouraged to choose from other appropriate academic fields for a second major or minor.
The following academic fields, listed in the John Carroll University Undergraduate Bulletin, are recommended for Borromeo Seminarians who choose second majors or minors, as the best academic preparation for those considering positions of leadership in church ministry. This list is not exclusive; however the choice of a different field of study requires the permission of the Director of Intellectual Formation.
Bachelor of Arts Majors/Minors:
Classical Languages
Interdisciplinary B.A. Minors:
Peace, Justice, and Human Rights
Bachelor of Science Major/Minor:
Note on Minor: Seminarians are free to pursue any minor that interests them, as long as completing the minor does not conflict with the Borromeo Institute formation courses, the John Carroll core requirements and the requirements of their majors. Minors are listed in the John Carroll University Undergraduate Bulletin.
A student who is involved in unethical practices such as cheating, plagiarism, etc., in connection with any work for the course is subject to a grade of F (Failure) for the course. For more information, see the 2015-2017 Undergraduate Bulletin. Any instance of academic dishonesty concerning seminarians is also considered a formation issue and may subject the student to dismissal from the seminary.
Borromeo seminarians may take advantage of the cultural, intellectual, social, and athletic activities sponsored by the university. However, only scheduled classes at John Carroll University excuse a seminarian from a community exercise scheduled at Borromeo. Participation in extracurricular activities does not take precedence over the formation program at Borromeo. In the event of a conflict, permission must be obtained ahead of time to be absent from a community exercise. Each seminarian must strike a healthy balance between his involvement here in the seminary community and in campus life at the university.
Disciplinary Sanctions
If a seminarian is suspended from Borromeo Seminary for a specified period of time, he is expected to commute from his home to John Carroll University or any other college he may be attending. The suspension pertains only to his relationship to the seminary. He may not attend classes taught on the Borromeo campus until the time of the suspension has elapsed. If a seminarian is asked to withdraw from Borromeo Seminary, he has the option of remaining at John Carroll University as a full-time student. However, he must pay the full tuition rate established by the university.
Voluntary Withdrawal
If a seminarian decides to permanently withdraw from Borromeo Seminary on his own accord, he has the option of remaining at John Carroll University as a full-time student. However, he must pay the full tuition rate established by the university. Borromeo Seminary will notify John Carroll University when a seminarian withdraws from the seminary program for whatever reason.
Other Colleges and Universities
Depending on the circumstances, and sometimes at the recommendation of John Carroll University, the Vocation Director, or the Admissions Committee, a seminarian admitted into Borromeo Seminary may enroll at another college or university in the greater Cleveland area for as long as two years. He will be expected to follow the Transfer Guide published by John Carroll University. He may transfer into John Carroll University as soon as he meets the academic requirements of the university. A seminarian attending another college or university is expected to submit his course grades to the Borromeo Registrar's Office at the end of each quarter or semester.
As the academic year progresses, Borromeo Seminary becomes more than just a place to live, pray, and study. It becomes a home.

Published in the UK? Written by UK authors? Or any women anywhere?
I've answered this to Rose on Twitter, but for anyone else: Published anywhere, by writers from anywhere. As long as it's a novel, by a woman, and you consider it science fiction, and it was published between 2001 and 2010, it's fair game.
2001 and 2010 of course makes sense. That means that where I put Crescent City Rhapsody by Kathleen Ann Goonan, it does have to be Light Music.

Here Are 10 Options for Finding Free or Cheap Audiobooks
July 4, 2020 Tom
I'm a relatively new homeowner with a wife, a job, and 2-year-old twins. Though I own hundreds of books, I rarely find time to sit down and crack one open. I do, however, make use of my time in the car to listen to audiobooks.
But how do you get the audiobooks you want without paying a lot of money? There are a number of audiobook services available, but the options can be overwhelming. Do you want to rent or buy? How many audiobooks can you get per month? Finding the right audiobook service is a matter of finding the right one for how you like to read.
10 Services for Cheap Audiobooks
Here's our rundown of some of the best services where you can grab a book for your ears.
Audible is a big name out there when it comes to audiobooks. As a part of Amazon, it's heavily marketed and easily available, but it has its pros and cons.
Audible boasts one of the largest audiobook libraries out there with 540,000 titles according to a company spokesperson. Whatever you like to read, you can probably find it on Audible.
You get to keep any titles you read even if you cancel your subscription.
Your membership also gets you access to a number of podcasts, as well as subscriptions to The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and The Washington Post.
You also get daily deals and an extra 30% discount on additional book purchases.
You can download the books you choose and listen offline.
You can try Audible out with a no-cost, 30-day trial period.
Audible is a subscription service with four different subscription plans. At a minimum of $14.95 per month, that's tied with Audiobooks.com for the most expensive of the audiobook services listed here.
For your money, you get one audiobook title per month, as well as one "Audible Original." Audible Originals are content that Audible produces itself, so you won't find any titles from the bestseller lists. That's pretty limited for an avid reader.
Unused credits expire after one year.
Works For: The eclectic reader who is willing to pay a bit more to find all of the titles she wants.

Audiobooks.com is another subscription service, much like Audible, but there are a few differences.
Very large selection with over 150,000 titles.
Access to over 700,000 podcasts for free.
You get two books per month, rather than just one compared to Audible.
You can buy extra credits as needed, but they're another $14.95 a pop. One credit equals one book.
You get free extra VIP books each month with no additional charge. VIP titles are older, less popular books, but they aren't all obscure. Sara Gruen's "Water for Elephants" and Dave Pelzer's "The Lost Boy" are currently featured as VIP titles right. Both were former New York Times bestsellers.
Your free 30-day trial comes with three books: one premium title and two from the VIP collection.
You can stream books or download so you can listen offline.
It's expensive at $14.95 per month.
VIP titles are limited and may not be of interest to you.
Best for: People want a big selection and want more than one title per month.
3. Scribd
Scribd is a subscription service that allows you to read "unlimited" audiobooks and also offers features like ebooks and podcasts.
At $9.99 it's cheaper than Audible or Audiobooks.com and you get to listen to as many books as you want.
There are a lot of extras like Kindle books, magazines and even sheet music available with your subscription.
It includes a 30-day free trial.
The term "unlimited" isn't 100% accurate. Users in the iPhone app store complain that after two or three popular books, your ability to find more becomes very limited for the rest of the month.
You're renting, rather than buying, the books, so you cannot keep them.
The platform is not loaded with extras like some of the other services.
Best for: The audiobook fanatic who cranks through them quickly and wants new, popular titles.
4. Downpour
Downpour is a subscription service in which $12.99 gives you one credit (good for any one book) per month. You can spend them as you go or save them up. It's a different sort of subscription service. Or, if you like, you can simply rent or buy books without a subscription, but you'll pay a little more for each title.
Less expensive than Audible or Audiobooks.com.
You can save up your credits when you're not able to listen to audiobooks to use them at a better time, like when you're on vacation. So if you don't have time to read in the summer, you can stash those monthly credits and use them all in December on those cold nights.
Each credit is valid for 12 months. It expires at the end of that time.
You own the books and can keep them even if you cancel.
You can download and listen offline.
You have the option to buy or rent books outside of the membership. Rentals are less expensive, but, if you buy the book, you'll pay more than you would with a membership.
Smaller selection with just 80,000 titles (and counting)
No free trial.
Books for purchase are pricy, though there is a tab for "Daily Steals" with sections for downloads under $15, $10 and even $5 that changes daily and randomly.
Best For: People who don't listen to audiobooks consistently, but who still want access to new and popular titles.
5. Chirp
Chirp is a newer player on the audiobook scene. A sister site of Bookbub, an e-book site, it arrived in the spring of 2019. Chirp is an email subscription service that sends you daily deals for audiobook titles. You get a daily email with two special deals per day. If you click it, however, it will take you to the website where there are a lot more of the deals. Many of the deals are $3.99 or less for each book.
No subscription needed, so you only pay for what you buy.
You buy, rather than rent, the books so they're yours to keep.
You can purchase other books, but at regular price.
There is a "my wishlist" section where you can list out the books you want to listen to and get alerts when and if they go on sale.
The deals are completely random and not catered to your taste, so you may or may not see books on sale that you actually want to read.
Regular price books can cost anywhere from about $10 to over $40 for some titles.
Best for: The not-so-picky reader who doesn't want to spend a lot of money, but likes to own the audiobook titles.
6. Apple Books
Apple Books is basically a store for iPhone and Mac users to purchase audiobooks. It's not a subscription site, just a pay-for-what-you-want store.

Apple editors curate general lists to help readers find new books.
You keep your audiobooks right on your phone.
Download books and listen to them from your Apple Watch while you workout.
No pressure to download books to justify a monthly expense.

Best for: Apple fans who want to use their audiobooks on various Apple products and prefer to pay just for what they want.
7. Google Play Books
Google Play Books is much like Apple Books, but for Android and PC users, and with a few more perks.
No subscription, just buy what you like.
Listen to previews before committing.
Good sales and prices overall.
Can be used on iPhones and Macs
Large selection of audiobooks
Best for: Anyone who wants to purchase books as they go rather than being tied to a subscription.
8. Librivox
On the Librivox website, it says "Acoustical liberation of books in the public domain." So what does that mean? Basically, it's a free library of audiobooks that are old enough to have outlasted their copyright and read by volunteers.
Completely free to use.
Lots of great classics like "Moby Dick," "Frankenstein" and "The Life and Times of Frederick Douglas."
Very limited selection (14,000) with no recent titles.
No extras like podcasts, etc.
No phone app.
Best for: The cost-conscious listener who's looking to catch up on the classics.
9. Project Gutenberg
Much like Librivox, Project Gutenberg is another volunteer-created collection of free audiobooks and ebooks.
Listening to audiobooks on Project Gutenberg is completely free.
You'll be able to find some great classics like "The Velveteen Rabbit," "Call of the Wild" and "Anne of Green Gables."
The selection is very limited. When you cross-reference "audiobooks" with "English" in the advanced search, you'll get just over 500 titles.
Project Gutenberg does not have a dedicated app.
Best for: The at-my-desk listener of classic literature.
10. Your Public Library System
Of course, you can go to your local library and check out audiobooks on CD, but that's so 2005. These days most library systems are hooked up with apps like Overdrive or Hoopla so you can check out audiobooks digitally on your phone.
As long as you have a library card, it's completely free.
Not limited to your local library but connected to a large network of libraries, so there are many titles available.
You can place holds on titles you want if they are not currently available.
You may not find every book you want.
Books are checked out just like non-digital copies, so they are limited and you may have to wait for certain books.
New and popular books frequently have a very long waiting list.
You do not keep the titles, just borrow.
Best for: The budget-conscious person who's flexible on what she reads.

Added the fly intro sprite sheet and animated it using a CSS3 animation step function. Every time a fly is swatted it is trained and the animation is triggered to show a new generation of fly arriving.
Setting up the sprite sheet for the fly intro animation. The path was drawn in Illustrator and individual fly frames were generated with a step blend equal to the number of frames. The images were brought into Photoshop where a motion blur was added.
Did some tweaking of the fly proportions, fattened up the body and re-positioned the legs. Applied a roughen filter to the edges to make the body took hairy.
Created the swatter sprite-sheet using the original vector art and some blur/emboss effects in PhotoShop. The animation is done with CSS3 using a step function. The swatter element is added and then removed with each swipe to reliably reset the animation each time.
Drew the fly swatter in illustrator. Duplicated it a few times and added some warping effects to create the base for the spritesheet animation. The first two frames are onion skinned to show them relative to one another.
Added some placeholder graphics to better illustrate what the final product will look like. The fly head incorporates a sprite sheet that will light up a section of the eye yellow (yeller) when it senses motion. The neural network output is placed inside a thought balloon to indicate what MLFly is thinking.


A draft concept plan was presented to the community in July 2018.

I left the science institute, changed travel soccer teams, and chose volunteer work that I really enjoyed. With a less crowded panorama, there was a lot more focus and time for the me" to emerge.


Hi I have a dual boot system with Windows 10 and Opensuse Leap 42.1 Linux on separate hard drives. I was hoping to play some of my old games in wine, but I'm not having much luck to be honest.
My new plan is to pull out an old copy of Windows 7 i have stashed away that I never used (some of my old games don't work in windows 10 64bit). I don't want to go though the hassle of reinstalling windows 10 and linux, so I thought maybe I could unplug both my hard drives and add a third hard drive, install Windows 7 on it, plug my hard drives back in and just boot off the third drive when I want windows 7. Would this work? Is there a better option?
ps. both my current hard drives have gpt volumes.
You can use windows or linux boot managers to point to different partitions\drives, but doing 'full installs' and selecting the HDD you want to boot from in the BIOS is 'effective' is a a little simple.

A Small Seed by Dominic Lim
A Small Seed
She noticed his laugh first. Full-throated, like a walrus. Like a roar. He wore a red paisley shirt and cowboy boots. His beard was curly, black, thick. Kimmie thought, while sipping her Sancerre: this man is a beast. It mystified and repelled her. She hated herself the next morning when she woke up next to his snoring, hairy body. But there was something about his ferocity that she couldn't shake, like a leathery musk she kept wanting to inhale.
They struck up a casual thing, meeting when she had the time, when she allowed herself the betrayal of her best interests. He gobbled up life while she could only mete it out in measured bits. This discrepancy interested her enough to keep her motivated. He would sometimes take her by the hand and ask her to follow, to trust him. She always took his hand. She followed. But she never trusted him. That was part of the attraction, she supposed. Once, they ended up at the far end of a Chelsea pier in the brutal darkness of a January morning. She watched him take his clothes off, shivering in the wet air. Without a word he kissed her square on the lips. She heard the hard splash of water. It took him five minutes to convince her to jump, but she did it. She regretted it later, but in the water they rubbed against each other for warmth, her bony limbs against the heavy lumps of his muscles and it felt good.
They moved in together into a railroad apartment in Astoria with paper-thin walls that whispered to her at night. Complaints and accusations. They told her she didn't belong, that it wasn't her home. I hate this place, she said, it feels like it's haunted. He laughed and held her tight on the bed, as if to squeeze the fear out of her. Hey you haints! Don't you dare take my baby, this is our home now you hear, he bellowed, pounding at the walls. She hated him a little for making fun of her, and felt a small seed of meanness plant itself inside her. But he rubbed her breasts and breathed his heavy, smoky breath on her face. She grabbed his hair and made love to him on a squeaky seven-year old mattress.
She had a timeline of how she wanted her life to go and after a while she accepted his place on it. They agreed to get married in the spring of the following year. Do you want a big wedding, he asked? No. Just my brothers. A friend or two. Not your father? he asked her. She shook her head, her wiry brown hair like hickory switches. He raised his eyebrow but said nothing. He watched Kimmie fold in on herself, as she often did. She'd mentioned her father only briefly before, his miserliness and his anger. Her face withered. The seed inside her grumbled awake.
They had a small ceremony at her boss's penthouse on Madison Avenue and afterwards got wasted on shots of Schnapps on the balcony. Mm. Like apples, she said. Did I ever tell you my dad yelled at me once for wasting an apple slice? He slapped me, too. Hard. For a goddamn apple slice. She laughed a caustic laugh. He put his drink aside and kissed the ridge of her hair. She could feel him trembling. It was too much for her; she couldn't stand it for some reason. Tiny tendrils of disdain spread through her. She lifted her head up at him and smiled big. I'm fine, I'm fine. Let's keep drinking. I'm fine.
Later, after her hard-earned promotion to assistant editor, after she'd run out of excuses, they had their first child. Then a second. They moved out of New York and into New Jersey, into a bright blue, two-story house (which she protested was too big for their needs, but eventually acquiesced to), with a chain-link fence and two red oaks in the front, one slightly droopier than the other. When the holidays came around, their house would be the only one on the block with no decorations. Are you Jewish? a neighbor asked her once, standing near their unshoveled driveway one December. Mind your own damn business, she responded.
Kimmie felt the insidious growth inside her; its presence seeped out from her pores like resin. It threatened to choke her baby daughter as she held it. On her son's fifth birthday, when he asked for ice cream instead of the single cupcake she had made for him, Kimmie refused, then stared blankly at his disappointment. She left the room to let her husband console him.
She spent more and more time at the office. Looking out over Columbus Circle and into the dark reaches of Central Park she'd watch the people lumbering about and drink vodka from a ceramic mug, thinking about how her children loved her husband more than her. The venomous roots had taken a firm hold inside her, and when she met the new head accountant, a smug Ivy League graduate rigid as a pole, she knew even then that she'd soon be fucking him on the cold marble floor of her private bathroom.
Her husband filed for divorce and threatened to take the children away. She didn't protest. An entire tree had grown by then, choking up her veins. That winter, after the divorce was final, after she'd come to get her things, she drove away forever and looked back in the rear view mirror – her family was building a snowman, round and fat. They decorated it with garlands and string, used a bright red rubber ball for a nose, and topped it off with a fluffy Santa Hat too big for its head. They laughed at the sight of it.

On Friday, September 28, 2018, California Governor Jerry Brown signed the nation's first Internet of Things (IoT) cybersecurity law. Although the new law presents some compliance issues, it does not appear to conflict with federal regulatory policy, unlike some have alleged regarding the state's recent forays into net neutrality and online privacy. Therefore, the new law will likely go into effect as scheduled on January 1, 2020. With the number of IoT devices having already overtaken the global population, firms in, or considering entering, the IoT device market should carefully note this new development.
In an ever-shifting communications regulatory landscape in the western states, you need practical guidance. We at DWT know communications regulatory law inside and out and have deep experience at western state utility commissions, including California, Oregon, and Washington. Our West Coast Comm Law team is devoted to keeping you apprised of the latest developments in all facets of law affecting communications providers in the western states – from new confidentiality requirements for communications providers to the impact of new state communications legislation and everything in between.


The European Union must overhaul its current bioenergy policy, which is based on getting fuel from plants, because the industry is linked to the eviction of thousands of people from their lands, out-competing food crops, and creating more not less pollution, says Oxfam in a new report.
Today MEPs voted to introduce a seven percent cap on food-based biofuels and to include carbon emissions from land use change in environmental assessments.
Today the European Parliament's Environment Committee approved a deal with EU governments to cap the amount of harmful biofuels used to meet renewable energy targets.

This Physics quiz is called 'Forces - Forces and Turning Effects' and it has been written by teachers to help you if you are studying the subject at senior high school. Playing educational quizzes is one of the most efficienct ways to learn if you are in the 11th or 12th grade - aged 16 to 18.
You use turning forces every day but probably don't even think about them - switching on a light and opening a door are just two examples. The turning effect of a force is called a moment. A moment is created when a force is applied to an object that is attached to a pivot. A pivot is a pin or shaft that fixes an object in place but also allows the object to move around it. You will probably have done calculations involving levers in your lessons, in the context of levers, the pivot is referred to as a fulcrum. There is also a word that describes the force that tends to produce rotation - torque. This word does have other meanings too and engineers use it instead of the scientific word moment.
If you ever do maintenance on your bicycle, particularly if it has hydraulic disk brakes, you will sometimes see the recommended torque for tightening the bolts written in the instructions. This tells you how tightly the bolts should be fastened and can be done by using a torque wrench which is a tool that can be set to tighten bolts to a specific value. Torque values are important - too tight and the bolt can be weakened, not tight enough and the bolt could become loose or even come out of place completely. There have been cases of wheels coming off cars because the bolts have not been tightened enough or over-tightened so much that they break due to the forces acting on the wheel when the car is moving at high speed.
In the exam, quite often calculations are designed to test your knowledge of how to calculate a moment and your understanding of the principle (or law) of moments. When you consider a system with a pivot, a force on one side of the pivot can cause the system to turn in a clockwise direction. A force on the other side of the pivot would cause the system to turn in an counterclockwise direction. Think about a see-saw looking at it from the side. One person gets on the left hand side of the see-saw and that side goes down. It has moved in an counterclockwise direction. If a second person sits on the other side, they can make the other side of the see-saw move in a clockwise direction.
If they are the same weight and sit at exactly the same distance from the pivot, the see-saw will be balanced. That is the principle of moments - when an object is not turning round its pivot, the sum of the clockwise moments is equal to the sum of the counterclockwise moments. The two people on the see-saw can make it move by changing their moment - leaning backwards or forwards, increasing the force by using their legs against the ground, sitting closer to the pivot, getting someone else to sit on the see-saw and so on.
The way in which weight is distributed compared to the position of the center of mass can affect an object's stability. This is because a moment is created. The center of mass of an object is defined as the point through which all of the mass of a body appears to act. In practical terms, if you can suspend an object from its center of mass, it would be perfectly balanced. If a force is applied off-centre, it means that the force is acting at a distance from the center of mass. This creates a moment which causes an unstable equilibrium. If you are near a large building site, watch one of the large gantry cranes - see if you can spot the counterweight that is necessary to balance the moment of the load that they are lifting to help to avoid an unstable equilibrium.
What is the center of mass of an object?
If the total clockwise moment around a pivot is 10 N m and the total moment about a pivot is zero, what is the size of the counterclockwise moment?

RIP – BENITO DE SILVA (1935-2022) – CO-FOUNDER, JPAA CANADA
Posted on 03 March 2022 by admin
It is with profound sadness we report that Benito de Silva, popular community leader in Toronto who was a beacon of light in the Sri Lankan community for over four decades passed away last Wednesday (9th February) at Michael Garron Hospital in Toronto.
By: Upali Obeyesekere – Josephian-Peterite Global NEWS NETWORK
BENITO DE SILVA
Benito de Silva was the Josephian arm of the Josephian-Peterite Alumni Association of Canada (JPAA Canada). The two co-founders of JPAA Canada in 1984 were Benito de Silva (SJC) and Upali Obeyesekere (SPC). JPAA Canada prides itself as the first Sri Lankan Schools' Alumni Association to be formed in Canada. JPAA launched the Canadian Series of the "Battle of the Saints" in 1985, that drew large crowds since its inception. Rev. Fr. (Dr.) Stanley Abeysekara, Rector of St. Joseph's College Colombo was Chief Guest at the 1985 inaugural match in Toronto.
Educated at St. Joseph's College Colombo, Benito excelled in athletics, swimming, cricket, and field hockey. On leaving school. he joined the volunteer service of the Ceylon Army, worked in the private sector at Carson Cumberbatch Company and at the state-sponsored Insurance Corporation. Benito represented Insurance Corp., in Cricket and Hockey.
Benito was the consummate gentleman and a proud Josephian. His younger brothers are former Army Commander Gen. Gerry de Silva, Eugene de Silva and well known theatre personality Jerome de Silva.
Benito was the much-loved husband of Annette (nee Chapman) for 58 years, beloved father of Gavin (Erika) and Diane (Roy) and doting grandfather of Nicolas, Marisa, Michael, and Victor. He leaves behind numerous nephews, nieces, cousins, and large coterie of friends who were near and dear to him. The Toronto-based Sri Lankan-Canadian community at-large are heartbroken as their beloved friend Benito – known as a man for all seasons is no more.
Anthony Gene Benito De Silva was born in Colombo on 28th September 1935. He was predeceased by his loving parents, Walter and Etta De Silva and his infant son, Glen. He was the eldest in a close-knit family of six – two sisters Therese (Jay Liyanage), and Clementine (Sumith Liyanage) and three brothers – Gen. Gerard de Silva (Junie), Eugene de Silva (Madonna) and Jerome de Silva who live back home in Colombo, Sri Lanka.
Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord. And let perpetual light shine upon him. MAY BENITO REST IN PEACE, AMEN!


'Tis the season for . . . photo ops. And yet 'tis the season for frizz and fuss, when winter weather and dry indoor air take a toll on skin, nails and hair. This year, look to your kitchen instead of beauty shelves when prepping for the party.
Here's why: Many conventional shampoos, conditioners and hair-enhancing goos, gels, serums and spritzes contain ingredients like alcohols (isopropyl, propyl, SD-40), sulfates, formaldehyde and fragrances, which can damage your hair over time.
1. Look for petroleum-free shampoos and conditioners with exceptionally moisturizing oils like jojoba, argan, avocado, coconut or olive, rich in protective and nourishing vitamins (such as A and E) and omega fatty acids.
2. Rinse with vinegar -- or citrus. The unfortunate truth is that most hair products cause pH imbalance, resulting in oil and product residue build-up. Vinegar is an instant pH balancer, increasing shine and body by rinsing away dirt and icky build-up. Dilute 1:1 with water; use 1–2 cups total. Don't want to smell like salad? Try gentle products with citrus (citric acid), which work similarly.
3. Or try beer. Sorry, contrary to Internet rumors beer isn't a miracle cure for thinning hair. But its alcohol content can help achieve a deeper clean for better body and shine. A half to full pint should do the trick.
4. Avoid overdrying with a blow dryer. If you can't air dry, try a combo of gentle towel drying and drying with an old T-shirt, which wicks moisture quicker than some terrycloth towels -- plus smooth surface texture creates less frizz.
5. Get deep moisture with natural oils (see tip 1), which tame frizz and increase shine. Caution: Too much oil will overload hair and make it limp! Technique matters: Work a tablespoon or so into hair before bed, sleep with a shower cap, and then shampoo as usual in the morning to remove excess oils. Alternate technique: Use an even smaller amount as you would a silicone-based hair serum. After showering, work 1/2 teaspoon oil into nearly dry strands, concentrating on the tips.


Hi Keni are they looking for properties in NC only or other States also?
where do they want to buy the properties from?
My name is Victor Benitez. I am currently in my 10th year of Real Estate Investing. I buy residential and commercial properties, rehab them and reposition them for the retail market. In addition, I also build subdivision's and I am very active in several communities, city & county... More / open for public forums on various topics, including and not limited to; urban development, community impact measurements, job development and my personal favorite; "Affordable Housing".
I am a very serious minded, compassionate and highly motivated investor who loves making a real difference in the world. I spent 6 years in the United States Marine Corps. making a difference around the world, and for the past 10 years making a positive impact on communities around the U.S.
That being said, I am looking to partner with another investor who shares in some of these passions!
It's (one thing) to go out and buy something, fix it up and resell it for profit, and then just simply move on to the next one. However, it is something entirely "special" when there is a goal to accomplish an agenda to revitalize and restore communities! I've done just this, several times in my investing career, (all alone) NOW, I'm looking for an investment partner!

Q: How can I use the "on_motion_detected" method on Raspberry Pi motion? I have been using my Raspberry Pi 2 to do some motion detection using a USB webcam and the motion package and am incredibly frustrated.
Can someone explain to me how the on_motion_detected method is supposed to work??????
The idea is that when the camera detects motion, a script is executed. The script just echo's a few words for testing purposes.
The video stream works great on my local network, and I can see the motion writing the JPG and .avi files to the directory.
Even when I try to add my script to the movie start trigger, nothing happens.
Some examples I have tried:

*

*; on_motion_detected python /home/pi/Desktop/Python/script.py

*; on_movie_start python /home/pi/Desktop/Python/script.py

*; on_picture_save sudo python /home/pi/Desktop/Python/script.py

I have also changed the script to different directories, speculating a permission issue. Still nothing happens. I have tried removing the ; before the methods, still nothing happens. I have tried sudo, I have tried executing as a script. Please, can someone offer some help. I have searched years and years of threads and not found an answer anywhere.
My script is not being executed.
This question has been asked 1000 times and nobody has answered it. I have been searching for several hours for an answer.
Here's just a few of the threads that have gone uanswered:

A: Check that you have specified the process id properly in motion.conf:
process_id_file /var/run/motion/motion.pid
Once you have checked that, change the following settings to arbitrarily low values e.g.
threshold 1
noise_level 1

A: sudo chown motion:motion /home/pi/Desktop/Python/script.py

Napoli monster homer, bullpen dominance lead Indians to 5-4 win over Twins
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- When Danny Salazar departed the mound early, Mike Napoli flexed his muscle and Cleveland's bullpen followed with a stifling performance.
That's the way a first-place team maintains a division lead down the September stretch.
Napoli hit a mammoth home run on the first pitch of the fifth inning to put the Indians in front, and five relievers allowed only one hit over five scoreless innings in a 5-4 victory over the Minnesota Twins on Friday night to stay six games ahead of Detroit in the AL Central.
"It has to take all of us to do it. I'm in a position where I can, at any time, change a game, and I know that. I'm not going up there just trying to hit singles," Napoli said. "But it starts with the guys ... to get us to that point."
The Indians won for the ninth time in their last 11 games, despite the removal of Salazar after four innings due to tightness in his right forearm as a precaution. Salazar was on the disabled list for elbow inflammation a month ago, but manager Terry Francona said this issue was muscular and not structural.
"We'll see how he feels and then we'll go from there," Francona said.
Napoli's drive off Tyler Duffey (8-11) landed in the third deck above left field three sections over from the foul pole.
"He was obviously sitting on it," Duffey said.
The homer, Napoli's 32nd, was estimated by the Twins at 456 feet.
"I can't even hit a golf ball that far," Francona said.
That followed Byron Buxton's two-out, two-run homer that tied the game against Salazar in the fourth and glanced off the back wall of the Twins bullpen in left-center. The 22-year-old Buxton has five of his eight career home runs in the eight games since his recall from Triple-A on Sept. 1.
Joe Mauer also went deep and Brian Dozier added an RBI double, but the Twins lost for the 23rd time in their last 29 games.
The Indians scored four runs in the third inning against Duffey, whose low throw to second base on a comebacker by Francisco Lindor not only cost him a potential double play but contributed in a major way to the rally. Lonnie Chisenhall added a two-run double, and Tyler Naquin tacked on an RBI single.
Salazar has not won in seven starts since July 19. One of the four runs the right-hander allowed was unearned due to a fielding error by second baseman Jason Kipnis on the speedy Buxton's bouncer, but his ERA after the All-Star break is still 7.44.
Joe Colon (1-1) completed the fifth inning for the victory and Cody Allen finished the ninth for his 27th save in 30 attempts, as the Indians started their final stretch of 23 games, all intra-division affairs. They're only 9-8 against the Twins, who are on track for 100-plus losses.
Napoli already has a career high in home runs, and his latest long ball pushed his RBI total to 93, surpassing his previous career high set in 2013 with Boston. Napoli has three homers in the last five games.
"I feel a lot more comfortable," he said. "I was going through periods where I was just trying to grind out at-bats until I could find it."
FIELDING FLUBS
The Twins lead the league with 110 errors, already their highest season total in five years and on pace for their most since 1980. They made three highlight-reel plays, diving stops of grounders by Mauer at first and Miguel Sano at third and a sliding catch by Max Kepler in right, but the mistake by Duffey made a bigger impact.
"The errors are concerning," manager Paul Molitor said.
Indians: Roberto Perez, sharing the catcher role with Chris Gimenez while Yan Gomes (separated shoulder) is working his way back on a rehab assignment, struck out a season-high three times.
Twins: RHP Trevor May (back strain) and LHP Tommy Milone (biceps tendinitis) were reinstated from the DL before the game.
The Indians will send rookie RHP Mike Clevinger (2-2, 5.30 ERA) to the mound for the middle game of the series. His seventh major league start will come against LHP Hector Santiago (11-8, 4.91 ERA), who in his last turn recorded off his first victory for the Twins in six starts since arriving by trade.

The main division of the PAPA World Pinball Championship is the most renowned event in all of competitive pinball, annually deciding the title of PAPA World Champion. Upon arriving, players declare a division (A, B, C, or D, with A being the official World Championships division) and enter as many times as they like, paying entry fees each time they choose to play. A competitor can play each machine as many times as they wish, but only their highest score will count toward their qualifying total.
After each of the chosen games are played, the individual game scores are assigned a point value based on how they compare to all other scores from the same machine: 100 points for the highest score, down to 1 point for 88th place, and 0 points for all lower scores. A player's overall qualifying score consists of the total of his or her six highest individual game scores added together, for a maximum possible qualifying score of 600 points.
The top twenty-four players in each division compete in a PAPA-style final round to determine the winners of each division, and ultimately, the World Champion.


A marketing funnel is what takes a possible customer through the entire journey from discovering your enterprise, all of the way to purchasing your goods on a normal basis. Because the best marketing is referral advertising. You need to construct a web-based marketing funnel to help convert your site visitors into loyal clients. So the obvious approach to funnel marketing is to concentrate on high-intent users who show all of the behaviour of somebody ready to purchase. Consequently, the standard approach to sales and advertising and marketing funnels is inefficient. Content marketing a part of that procedure too. With a good content marketing funnel in place, you can clarify your aims and ensure you're creating content that truly sells.
You have to develop a customer loyalty program otherwise you'd have wasted a good deal of your prior advertising efforts in the prior stages of the funnel. If you don't own a plan for developing customer loyalty, you'll likely lose a lot of your clients, wasting plenty of your prior advertising and marketing efforts during the previous phases of your funnel. In order to set up a thriving marketing funnel, you first have to establish a thriving inbound marketing and advertising strategy to draw and convert leads into new clients. When it has to do with the Facebook marketing funnel, you are able to take advantage of different targeting options to make it to the ideal audience with the proper offer. You might have dabbled in video marketing one or two times throughout your career for a marketer. Content marketing isn't supposed to drive revenue overnight. In spite of the fact that it isn't part of the standard content marketing funnel, a number of companies have added another step to retain or delight customers.
By using client marketing best practices, your advertising team may continue engaging with existing customers. As soon as your lead makes the choice to purchase, they must produce the choice to purchase again. How you care for your leads is dependent on which phase of the purchaser's journey they're in. Whenever your leads are at the base of your funnel, your only aim is to receive them to buy your product (or repurchase if they're already customers)! Many people believe that they can deal with every lead the exact same. Or a lead may be enthusiastic about the item, but not the decision-maker in her or his organization. Since you may see, the leads in every single phase of the purchaser's journey must be treated differently.
One of the greatest examples of a basic sales funnel is the business formerly called 37signals, which is currently referred to as Basecampthe name of their most prosperous item. For different kinds of businesses, the requirements of consumers at the very top of funnel' stage would differ. The price of acquiring new customers can be immensely large. You should make sure your pricing is very clear and simple to comprehend when a prospective customer opts-in to observe how much your services cost. Or simply pick one which you wish to raise sales on. To repair the broken sales funnel, a marketers' part in the sale should change dramatically. There's even more you are able to do in order to drive extra sales and boost revenue.

Where The Sidewalk Shoveling Ends
These neighborhoods might not get the snow-removal job done, based on past snowstorm data.
By Steve Annear·	 1/2/2014, 4:23 p.m.
Shoveling Photo Uploaded by AnnaInAustin on Flickr
Last February, after Nemo dropped 25 inches of snow on Boston, the city's Inspectional Services Department handed out a staggering 2,400 citations to residents and businesses that didn't follow the rules and regulations for shoveling sidewalks and pathways.
And as the year's first blizzard-like storm hits the Bay State, those who don't comply could face a similar fate.
Based on statistics gathered by MuckRock, a local group dedicated to sifting through public records and information, following Nemo last year, there were specific neighborhoods in the city that were the worst offenders when it came to failing to clear away snow from the sidewalks in a timely fashion, as requested by city officials.
Boston's snow shoveling rules state that snow, slush, and ice has to be cleared from the sidewalks and curb ramps abutting property within three hours of snowfall ending, or three hours from sunrise if snow falls overnight.
If a property owner doesn't adhere to these rules—thousands didn't in 2013 after Nemo—they could be slapped with a penalty ranging from $25 to $200, depending on the size of the property, and what type of shoveling rules they violate.
"More than 1,000 of the 2,414 tickets were issued in the four days after [Nemo], more than 90 percent of them citations for unshoveled sidewalks. Less than 20 percent of the tickets for shoveling snow into the street went to commercial properties, the bulk being issued to private residents," researchers from MuckRock noted in March 2013, after compiling their data.
So which areas racked up the most tickets the last time Boston was smacked with a significant snowfall? While a big chunk of the tickets were handed to residents within the first few days, according to MuckRock's numbers, seven of the city's 22 wards received nearly 50 percent of the overall tickets in the three weeks following Nemo.
The Wards included:
Ward 18 (Hyde Park, Readville and parts of Roslindale and Mattapan): 337 citations
Ward 20 (West Roxbury and part of Roslindale): 182 citations
Ward 22 (Brighton): 176 citations
Wards 21 and 22 (Allston and Brighton combined): 334 citations
The graph below shows the percentage of tickets issued to specific Wards and neighborhoods in the weeks after Nemo, with Ward 18 clearly leading the pack when it comes to blatant disregard for snow removal efforts. It's important to keep in mind that each day a sidewalk isn't shoveled after the snow stops is considered a separate and distinct violation, according to the city's rules. So some places may have been hit more than once with a fine in the weeks after Nemo dropped snow on Boston:

A second graph constructed by MuckRock last year breaks down the types of citations, based on how hefty the penalty was, which is a good indicator of whether the properties were residential, or if they were commercially owned. The larger fines are usually attributed to properties that are bigger or are businesses because fines increase as the size of a property goes up.
Based on the data provided, it's obvious that most citations were in the $50 range, which means they were houses or apartment complexes with fewer than 16 units:
To further the scope, MuckRock also created a map that pinpoints the streets and neighborhoods where residents and business refused to do their part, and didn't put a shovel to the concrete to clear the way for pedestrians, resulting in the issuance of a citation. The map shows where tickets were issued between February 9 to February 27, 2013:

Regent Square - Rendering of full-build out, street view of green space. Rendering courtesy of 7th Arts.
The Regent Square Redevelopment is designed to become the center of a dynamic new neighborhood within the evolving district south of Houston's Allen Parkway. In a city often noted for its physical expanse, network of freeways, and glass and steel towers, Regent Square will provide the counterpoint: intimate scale, a walkable environment, well defined outdoor spaces, buildings that utilize more traditional materials and reference more familiar architectural forms. Tree lined streets of shop fronts, cafes, and restaurants will provide a memorable context for a significant mixed-use neighborhood that will ultimately be home to over two thousand residents. The project's first phase will accommodate 230,000 SF of retail and restaurant uses, 740 residential units, 60,000 SF of office space, and a 200 room hotel. Later phases will add another 100,000 SF of commercial uses and an additional 1,000 residential units.
The design for Regent Square is based upon a carefully considered master plan that links the project's 24-acre, four-block site. Three existing streets, Allen Parkway, West Dallas Avenue and Dunlavy Street define the principal edges of the development and provide the key linkages west to River Oaks, east to downtown, and south to the West Gray Street and Westheimer Road commercial corridors. The master plan establishes two interior streets that both subdivide and knit together the four-block parcel. A diagonal, north-south street, linking Allen Parkway with West Clay Avenue, will define a central promenade of shops and restaurants. To the north, the angle of this street opens up views into the project from Allen Parkway and creates a small, triangular park that buffers pedestrians from the latter street's fast moving traffic. At its southern terminus, this street will provide a key connection to Woodhead Street and the River Oaks Shopping Center located one-half a block to the south, thus encouraging pedestrian activity beyond the confines of the project. East to west connection is established with a second interior street that roughly parallels West Dallas Avenue. The shifting alignment of this street accommodates the irregular shapes of the parcels on three of the four blocks while creating a series of terminated vistas that will be accentuated with varying architectural treatments at building corners.
In addition to creating a place that will be highly integrated with the surrounding community, the master plan establishes a network of streets and squares that promote pedestrian activity. Street widths have been established that allow for ease of vehicular movement, but at slower speeds. Sidewalk areas will be designed to support a multitude of uses – window shopping, strolling, outdoor cafes, and people watching. Generously sized street trees will provide shade, color, and act to soften Regent Square vibrant urban environment. A public square fronting onto West Dallas Avenue is located at the intersection of the two interior streets. Buildings facing the square increase in height from four stories, to eight stories, reinforcing the importance of this space as the project's primary public gathering space. The square is envisioned as having a mix of shaded areas for sitting, relaxing, and reading, along with open areas more suitable to informal public gatherings and special events. The inclusion of sculpture or water elements will provide further identify and focus to the square. Semi-public outdoor space is provided one-level above the street within a series of courtyards which serve the residents of Regent Square. These quiet, landscape spaces will be designed to support both passive and active resident-oriented activities.
Consistent with the goal of creating a neighborhood, individual building designs will be varied, drawing upon more traditional architectural styles. Several sites have been identified for buildings that will employ more contemporary expressions. In order to foster a pedestrian-friendly environment, buildings will have shop windows and lobby entrances fronting directly onto the sidewalk. Exterior building materials will consist of brick, stone, stucco, and cast stone. Bays, oriel windows, corner turrets, and show windows will be variously employed to articulate the massing of each building. Cornice elements, pilasters, band courses, window surrounds, balconies, canopies, awnings and signage will be used to create the fine layer of detail characteristic of traditional, pedestrian oriented urban environments.

The origin of Pa-Kua is unknown, however it IS known the Tung Hai-ch'uan (A.D. 1798-1879) of Wenan Hsien in Hopei province during the Ch'ing Dynasty learned this art from an anonymous man then barely in his 20's. Tung is reputed to have been nearly dead of starvation when the hermit found him. The Taoist ministered to him, and Tung remained with him several years learning a 'divine' boxing.
Pa-kua emphasizes displacement of horizontal strength and turning of the palms. Pa-kua is comprised of various circling postures named after and based on the movements of the snake, stork, dragon, hawk, lion, monkey, and bear.
Tung's most noted pupils were Yin Fu, Ch'eng T'ing-hua, Ma Wei-chi, Liu Feng-ch'un, and Shih Liu. The best known pa-kua boxers today are in Taiwan, notably Wang Shu-chin, Chang Chuan-feng, Ch'en P'an-ling, Kua Feng-ch'ih, and Hung I-hsing.

Personal loans are unsecured loans that often carry a lower interest rate than credit cards. Being unsecured, personal loans do not come with the added burden of collateral. They are given by banks solely on the basis of the applicant's credit history and repayment ability. Therefore, it is important that you maintain a good credit score and file taxes on time.
Personal loans are given to applicants without any questions. So, these can be used for any purpose. Here are a few various scenarios where you might be able to use money from a personal loan.
Medical emergencies come up at any time, and thus you need to be prepared. There are times when you don't have adequate savings to meet your medical expenditure. You can land in this situation if you don't have a good medical insurance. Personal loans are a good source of money to meet medical expenditure, as personal loans don't require any kind of collateral.
There are a lot of banks that offer educational loans. However, the downside of these loans is the high-interest rate charged on them. Banks also generally fund the education of the students of a few selected and prestigious institutions. Also, there are times when education loans just aren't enough to cover tuition, relocation costs, living costs, etc. In such situations, personal loans prove to be very helpful. The personal loan amount can be used to cover living costs, relocation costs, etc. Personal loans don't require collateral, and usually, carry a pretty low rate of interest.
In India, weddings are considered to be a big deal. A lot of people spend a lot of money on weddings. Big fat Indian weddings are considered to be a matter of pride. For this, not everyone may have enough money saved. Personal loans are a good way to fund your wedding, provided that you are getting a good interest rate. There are no loans termed as "wedding loans", whereby people use personal loan money to fund weddings, too.
Personal loan rates are generally higher than other loans, but time can change everything. Interest rates differ from time to time. There are times when you have to take a loan at a high rate of interest because you need the money. However, you can settle your earlier loan with a higher interest rate, using a personal loan. The key highlight here being the interest rate. This makes sense only if the personal loan has an interest rate that is lower than the earlier loan.
Personal loans can be taken for some home improvement projects depending upon the interest rate that you can afford. You can use this personal loan for home repair or for remodeling purpose. Such a personal loan used for home improvement will be like any other unsecured personal loan. The loan amount and the interest rate that you will be charged would depend on your creditworthiness.
There are times when one needs cash on an urgent basis. Not everyone has the savings for being able to match such emergencies. Taking a personal loan can help quite a lot if you're smart enough.
India Infoline Finance Limited is one of the leading NBFC in India offering a range of lending solutions. Express Personal Loans is one the key offerings where a completely digitized platform enables IIFL to disburse loans up to Rs.25 lakhs as quickly as within 48 hours.

'Venom' Star Tom Hardy Questions Spider-Man's Heroism
Venom is one of the most reviled villains in Spider-Man's world. While we were introduced to him on the screen in Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 3, there wasn't enough there to really get the depth of his and Spider-Man's—we'll call it contempt—for each other. Tom Hardy stars as Venom in the new Venom movie, and there is so much Venom, there will actually not be any room for any Spider-Man.
While at the press junket, Hardy invoked Venom's disdain for Spider-Man by questioning his full hero potential. So, what exactly does Hardy think is holding Spider-Man back? His suit. Actually, the fact that his suit is made of lycra. Hardy and Ahmed really had this conversation, and they talked about the proper use for the material.
Hardy: He's a mate, but Spider-Man to me, I look at him and I'm like, that's a kid who goes *thwip thwip*, and wears lycra. That's what I see.
Ahmed: There's nothing heroic about lycra? Is that what you're saying?
Hardy: If you're a figure skater, yes. If you're on a bobsled team, yes. I don't get putting on the lycra to fight crime.
Ahmed: What if you're Usain Bolt? Usain Bolt wears lycra.
Hardy: Yes, but it's not Spider-Man, is it?
Ahmed: So actually there's an argument that some of the most heroic people on the planet wear lycra, actually.
Hardy: Yeah, for legitimate reasons.
Ahmed: But Spider-Man needs to wear lycra because he's, like, bendy. Listen, Venom's naked. Not everyone is that comfortable with their body.
The fact that Tom Hardy even knows what lycra is is ridiculous enough, let alone that Spider-Man seems to be the only hero he thinks is less of a hero for wearing it. Now picture for me, if you will, Tom Hardy and Tom Holland sparring over their choice of suits. Well, Ahmed had a point—Hardy didn't technically have a suit. Either way, the exchange would be worth the money for a ticket.
Here is the synopsis for Venom:
One of Marvel's most enigmatic, complex and badass characters comes to the big screen, starring Academy Award® nominated actor Tom Hardy as the lethal protector Venom.
