Revlon announced its wholly owned operating subsidiary, Revlon Consumer Products Corporation (RCPC), completed its previously disclosed acquisition of The Colomer Group (TCG), including the Revlon Professional business, for a cash purchase price of $665 million after giving effect to purchase price adjustments set forth in the share purchase agreement. The company financed this acquisition with proceeds from the previously disclosed $700 million upsizing of its bank term loan facility.
TCG is a beauty care company with approximately $500 million in annual net sales that markets and sells professional products primarily to salons and other professional channels not currently served by Revlon. Key professional brands acquired as part of the transaction include Revlon Professional, Intercosmo, Orofluido and UniqOne hair care brands; CND nail polishes and enhancements, including the successful Shellac innovation; and American Crew men's grooming range. TCG also sells certain brands directly into retail channels, including Natural Honey body lotions and Llongueras hair care, and operates a multicultural hair care business under the Crème of Nature brand. This acquisition expands Revlon's geographic scope with approximately 50% of the acquired business's net sales in Europe, Middle East and Africa, and approximately 40% in the U.S.

The Old Schoolhouse in 1961 [Z53/120/7]
The Old Schoolhouse was listed by the former Department of Environment in 1964 as Grade II, of special interest. The house dates from the 16th century and is built, like most of the older properties in Swineshead, of colour-washed rough-cast over a timber frame and has an old clay tile roof. It is built in a T-plan and has two storeys. There is a 20th century porch to the east and 20th century extension to the rear. It is not clear why the property is called The Old Schoolhouse unless it was used as a school before the building of Swineshead School in 1875.
On 29th November 1918 E.L.Welstead's estates in Colmworth, Riseley and Swineshead as well as Hargrave [Northamptonshire] and Catworth, Molesworth and Tilbrook [Huntingdonshire] were put up for sale by auction at the White Lion Hotel, Kimbolton [Huntingdonshire]. Lot 4 was simply described as "Two Picturesque Country Cottages" but the description makes it clear that it is The Old Schoolhouse. It is described as "built of stud, plaster and tiled, small part thatch". The cottages were occupied by Joseph Iliffe at a rent of £6 per annum and John White at £4 per annum and both were copyhold, held of the Manor of Swineshead. The building is described as: "Pleasantly situated in the Main Street next the Church, with front and back Gardens and Outbuildings, one Cottage containing small Front and Back Entrance Lobbies, 2 Sitting Rooms, Pantry, 2 good Bedrooms, with separate Staircase; the other Cottage containing one lower Room, Scullery, Cupboard under stairs and 2 Bedrooms".
The Old Schoolhouse May 2008
In 1927 Swineshead was valued under the terms of the Rating and Valuation Act 1925; every piece of land and building in the country was assessed to determine the rates to be paid on it. The valuer visiting The Old Schoolhouse [DV1/C151/30-31] noted that it comprised two tenements, the first of roughcast, tile and thatch, the second of roughcast and tile.
The owner of both was Miss Reynolds and she occupied the larger of the tenements. It stood in 0.157 acres and comprised a living room, a kitchen and two bedrooms ("big"); a washhouse and a barn with a bedroom over stood outside. The valuer noted that the thatched part of the building was poor, the tile part good. He commented: "bedrooms very big, could partition off and make three"
The other tenement was occupied by Mrs.Woodham at a rent of £5 per annum. It stood in 0.120 acres and comprised a living room and pantry downstairs with two bedrooms above; a barn stood outside.

Punk Returns to Its Roots With Museum of Art and Design Exhibit
April 8, 2019 By Kourosh Maheri No Comments Posted in Eye
Before the Sex Pistols and Vivienne Westwood popularized eardrum-shattering guitar riffs and safety pin-laden garb, a new cultural movement was born across the pond.
"New York is really the roots of punk music and clothing and style," says the exhibit's curator Andrew Blauvelt. It was this realization that led Blauvelt to bring "Too Fast to Live, Too Young to Die: Punk Graphics, 1976-1986" to the genre's American motherland: New York.
The exhibit, which is on view at the Museum of Arts and Design from April 9 to Aug. 18, originated at the Cranbrook Art Museum in Bloomfield Hills, Mich., where Blauvelt is also the museum's director.
Featuring more than 400 works including flyers, posters, zines and album covers spanning an entire decade, the exhibit explores how the punk movement shaped design and popular culture. Updated to reflect punk's American birthplace, the MAD exhibit features additions such as Blondie and the Ramones memorabilia, flyers from renowned punk haunt CBGB and original issues of the short-lived fanzine "Punk."
The majority of the objects featured in the exhibit are courtesy of New York collector Andrew Krivine. One of the gems plucked from Krivine's extensive archive is an album cover for the Patti Smith Group's "Radio Ethiopia," which

Hunting Act has so much to answer for
SIR – Happily, Marion Large (Worcester News, April 2) is freely able to make up her own mind over hunting.
Unfortunately, many of us cannot do so without the failed Hunting Act (2004) interfering.
The reason the opponents of hunting can be labelled "as not understanding" is their refusal to make a single attempt at appreciating the balance of our working countryside.
Wisely, Mrs Large does not belong to any animal rights organisations.
For instance, the League Against Cruel Sports, with a membership of less than 4,000, has just appointed Joe Duckworth as its new chief executive.
His previous position as a town hall mandarin in London makes him eminently qualified to deal with conservation and animal welfare!
The Worcester News has carried many articles regarding financial cuts by both central and local government.
The political parties blame each other over the cause and effect of these measures.
However, there is one clear and indisputable fact.
The Hunting Act cost more than £30 million to introduce.
A small figure in terms of the national bank balance, perhaps, but just how many police officers, nurses or hospital beds would that have paid for?

Pelaneng Airport  is an airport serving the settlement of Pelaneng, Lesotho.

The high elevation, unmarked airstrip sits on a narrow ridge south of the confluence of the Pelaneng and Malibamatso rivers, with rising terrain to the west and a 400+ ft drop into the river valley off the east end.  Another higher ridge lies  off the east end, requiring an angling final to runway 29. Landing east is less obstructed, but the downhill slope, short runway, and dropoff make it inadvisable.

Latest aerial imaging shows an embanked roadway has been cut across the runway, rendering the runway unusable.

How to solve these problems?

What is the Institute of National Affairs (INA)?
The Institute of National Affairs is a privately funded, non-profit research institute or "think tank". Around 80 companies contributed to its running and management and they contributed sums of between K25,000 and the minimum of K500 per year. It was founded in 1979 by concerned individuals from both the government and the private sector to promote dialogue between the private sector and government and to offer alternative advice to that being given by the very dominant public service. It continues that tradition today.
The INA's primary role is to carry out research and disseminate the results as widely as possible to the community, government departments, statutory institutions, learning institutions and politicians. Research is carried out by world-class academics, from some of the world's leading universities, and the Insitute has a conscious policy of including PNG academics in its research, where that is possible. The research is generally sponsored by PNG and international bodies. The research is published and made available to the public.
What does the INA do?
Sponsors research by international experts and publishes the results.
Research has been carried out into: the economy, taxation, land, trade, coastal shipping, industrialisation, law and order, agriculture, mining, small business, government expenditure, fisheries, forestry, human capital formation and labour.
Publishes smaller research papers and speech series papers.
Has the leading role in the organisation of National Development Forum which brings together the government, private sector and civil society at least annually to allow all sides to hear the options of others and to highlight problems and offer advice about solution to those problems.
Provides regular comment on the economy in the print, radio and electronic media both within PNG and overseas.
Distributes the results of its research free of charge to politicians, public servants and major libraries in PNG. Contributors receive copies of this research free of charge and the general public can purchase it at a moderate price.
Assists in the bringing together of international bodies such as the World Bank and the IMF with the private sector.
From time to time co-ordinates private sector position papers on important issues and upon changes of government.
From time to time represents the PNG private sector at overseas forums by invitation from bodies like World Bank, Asian Development Bank, APEC, European Union, Australian Government, and the Australian National University.
Takes part in a wide range of advisory activities and task forces, which provide government with independent advice.
What the INA does NOT do?
The INA is not a "lobby group" and does not represent any specific industry or firm although it will contribute to topics of national interest which coincide with the interests of an industry. The council has reaffirmed this important distinction because it believes that the reason that the INA has been able to have some influence on every government since independence is its reputation of impartiality.
It is run by a council that is drawn from all walks of life and includes some of the leading businessmen, and public servants in Papua New Guinea. It also tries to encourage regional coverage so that research and activities are not too closely identified with Port Moresby.
The results of our work.
Government may not like results of INA research and comment but it accepts that it is made on a non-partisan and non-political basis. The INA has taken the lead in promoting discussion and dialogue with government on matters that affect the economy and the society, it has promoted National Development Forums in one form or another for more than twenty years. These have not always achieved results but they have kept open an accepted and respected process by which both sides can air their opinions.
Recently this process has been extended by the formation of the Consultative Implementation and Monitoring Council (CIMC). Organised by the INA this Council has widened the consultative process to include civil society, which includes the churches, NGOs, unions, women groups, youth groups and concerned individuals. The CIMC has twelve sectoral committees which meet on a regular basis and offer advice and criticism on subjects which deal with their own sector. This process has achieved a number of important results and has gained the respect and ears of the government.

Pilots UFO sightings:
This page documents and assesses a case in which a UFO or supposed or alleged UFO was reported to have been observed from an aircraft in flight.
January 31, 1916, near Rochford, U-K.
French ufologist Dominique Weinstein compiled a catalog of the cases of UFOs observed from aircraft ([dwn1]). The first case in February 2001 (6th edition) catalog appears as:
DATE 16.01.31
TIME 20:45 LT
LOCATION near Rochford
TYPE OF PLANE
AND WITNESSES pilot
UFO DESCRIPTION one row of lights like lighted windows on a railway carriage. It rose and disappeared
SOURCES 03
The source "03" is referenced at then end of the catalog as:
03 Project 1947 Reports, newsclippings and documents (cases from Jan Aldrich and Barry Greenwood)
On the Project 1947 website ([prt1], the case indeed appears with more details as:
1916: January 31, 2045 hours, local, Near Rochford, England
Flight Sub Lieutenant J. E. Morgan. Flying at 5000 feet, he saw a row of lights like lighted windows on a railway carriage with the blinds drawn. Thinking he had encountered a German Zeppelin, he fired his Webley Scott pistol. The lights rose and rapidly disappeared. (This is the first sighting from an aircraft and the first firing on UFO from an aircraft.)

(Credit: Dr. Thomas E. Bullard)
A 2004 publication where this case appears was by Dr. David Clarke [dce1], on the Web on his website "The Real UFO Project":
Some 20 miles east of Hainault Farm was another of London's fighter aerodromes at Rochford in Essex. It was from here at 8.45pm that Flight Sub-Lieutenant J.E. Morgan arose for an anti-Zeppelin patrol in his BE2C fighter. Morgan, in an official report to the Admiralty, said that when he reached 5,000 feet he saw a little above his own altitude and slightly ahead to his right, about 100 feet away from his plane, "a row of what appeared to be lighted windows which looked something like a railway carriage with the blinds drawn."
Believing that he had flown directly into the path of a hostile Zeppelin preparing an attack upon Central London, Morgan drew his Webley Scott service pistol, aimed and fired several times in the direction of the "railway carriage." Immediately, "the lights alongside rose rapidly" and disappeared into the inky blackness, so rapidly in fact that Morgan believed his own aircraft had gone into a dive. By now Morgan had completely lost his bearings, and after a lengthy battle to bring his aircraft under control he was forced to make a crash landing on the Thameshaven Marshes.
A full account of Morgan's sighting, dubbed "an encounter with a phantom airship" appears in Captain Joseph Morris's official history of the German air raids, The War in the Air, published in 1925. The book was compiled from then classified records, and Morris refers directly to the airman's report filed with the War Office. Extensive searches of the Royal Flying Corps and Royal Naval Air Service records at the Public Record Office have failed to locate Morgan's original report. The station log from Rochford aerodrome does give brief details of Morgan's flight with the addition of the word "Zepp" which shows the pilot and his station commander believed he had had an encounter with something he took to be an enemy airship.
Morgan's report is not included in the official account of the 31 January, 1916 raid published by the War Office which charts the movements of the Zeppelins and the attempts by British fliers to intercept them in great detail. Historians have been left with the impression that the authorities gave no credence to his report. Here we have the first evidence of what has become a long tradition on the part of the War Office, and its successors the Air Ministry and today's Ministry of Defence, of 'down-playing' reports by military pilots of unidentified flying objects.
There was, in fact, additional support for the claim that an airborne object of some kind was present over London during the air raid. A fourth RFC pilot, McClelland, reported seeing what he described as "a Zeppelin" caught briefly in the glare of searchlights above London at 9 pm, 15 minutes after Morgan's encounter.
McClelland's report was in fact the subject of a comment by the Third Sea Lord, Rear-Admiral F.C.T Tudor, who dismissed it in one single paragraph which reads:
"night flying must be difficult and dangerous, and require considerable nerve and pluck, but this airman seems to have been gifted with a more than usually vivid imagination."
Historians of the Great War have used the phrase 'phantom airship' to describe inexplicable aerial phenomena. In later years broadly similar sightings were categorised by the largely baffled Air Ministry as 'ghost planes' and 'flying saucers.' Almost a century later we are no closer to explaining what was independently reported by four experienced pilots long before the phrase "UFO" was invented.

David Clarke also reported on this sighting in his 2013 book "The UFO Files: The Inside Story of Real-life Sightings" ([dce2]).
He told that shortly before 8.30 p.m., two Royal Flying Corps pilots flying B.E.2c biplanes reported they were pursuing moving lights at 10,000 feet above Central London. Then they lost their targets in clouds, and, says Clarke, it seems possible they had actually spotted lights on each other's planes, but, he says, another sighting by a Royal Navy pilot is much more difficult to explain:
At 8;45 p.m. Flight Sub-Lieutenant Eric Morgan took off from the Royal Naval Air Service station at Rochford in Essex and began to patrol at 6,400 feet when his engine started misfiring, and this is when he saw, a little above his own altitude, slightly ahead to his right, about 100 feet away from his plane, "a row of what appeared to be lighted windows which looked something like a railway carriage with the blinds drawn".
He thougt he had come face to face with a Zeppelin preparing an attack upon Central London, so he drew his Webley & Scott pistol and fired. Immediately, "the lights alongside rose rapidly" and disappeared into the black sky, so rapidly that Morgan believed his own aircraft had gone into a dive. He struggled to bring his plane back under control and was forced to make an emergency landing on the Thameshaven Marshes.
Clarke says an account of Morgan's sighting, described as "an encounter with a phantom airship", appears in Captain Joseph Morris's official history "The German Air Raids on Great Britain 1914-18", published in 1925 and based upon then classified records. Clark notes that Morris refererd directly to the airman's report filed with the Admiralty, but this report is not mentioned in the official account of the 31 January 1916 raid published by the War Office which charts the flight paths of the Zeppelins and the attempts by British fighters to intercept them. As a result, says Clark, historians have been left with the impression that the authorities gave no credence to it.
The source given by Project 1947 and Dr. David Clarke, here, the book by Joseph Morris ([jms1]), is the earliest source I found so far about the incident. It gives this information:
There was a chase of phantom airship that night. Flight Sub-Lieutenant J.E. Morgan, who went up from Rochford at about a quarter to nine, was at 5,000 feet when, according to his report, he saw a little above his own level and slightly ahead to starboard, "a row of what appeared to be lighted windows which looked something like a railway carriage with the blinds drawn." Morgan thought that he had sighted a hostile airship only some 100 feet away, so he fired at it with his Webley Scott pistol, whereupon he says that "the lights alongside rose rapidly" and disappeared. Heading west he fired a Very light in the hope that he might be near an aerodrome, but he got no answering signal. He next discerned a "blur of yellowish light," which he thought might be Southend pier. On coming down, however, he discovered that what he had seen were the lights of a large Dutch steamer off Thames Haven. Flying round it he asked with his electric torch for his bearings, but the only answer he got was from the guns and searchlights of the Thames Haven defences. Morgan, knowing that these indicated "land or ships at sea" decided to descend. From the reflected light of one of the searchlight beams he made out a coastline to which he steered and came down into a "muddy water course." He was uninjured. With the help of some Royal Engineers he was able to extricate his undamaged machine from the mud, and thirty-six hours later he was able to fly his machine back to Rochford where he arrived on the afternoon of 2nd February. Four machines from Yarmouth and two from Castle Bromwich searched the mists in vain.
The book was first printed in 1925, the story appeared at page 76. In a 2007 reprint, it appears at page 81.
The Rochford sighting story, of course, appears on mor than a dozen websites, as a summary, often without sources (Francis Ridge, NICAP; UFOdna, Think About It; Mike Swords; etc.
The story also appears in a self-published book titled "Lights Over Vicksburg Elucidation: The Thuran Curse", by Gary Nicholson, self-published, in 2021. Oddly enough, this book is supposed to be a fiction, an anti-war Science-Fiction story beginning in the Civil War era moving through time and into the future. In the book, one character reads this story to another character.
David Clarke's information also appears in "The Secret History of Southend-on-Sea", a book by De Dee Gordon, The History Press publishers, U-K., 2014.
The case had been already discussed in US ufologist Jerome Clark's book "Strange Skies" in 2003 ([jck1]); it was based on Captain Joseph Morris's book. Clark commented that for weather risks reasons, most Zeppelin attacks toook place between March and September, but that this is not proof that what Morgan saw was not a Zeppelin. He notes that what Morgan saw seemed however a little odd, and that the report is brief and somewhat cryptic, and that this may be or may not be the first pilot sighting of an unidentified flying object.
Apparently, from various military historical sources, the Rochford airfield, also known as "Hot Farm" apparently, was a Depot Squadron initially, becoming a Night Training Squadron with B.E.2c, B.E.2e & Airco DH.6s aircraft on September 15, 1916. Othe sources say it was a Home Defence Station from 1915 to 1918, used by the Royal Naval Air Service, and the Royal Flying Corps.
The Royal Aircraft Factory B.E.2 (B.E. meaning "Blériot Exprimental") was the first U-K. military plane, designed to be a stable reconnaissance platform, in 1912, before WWI, a time when the idea of fighter planes did not exist yet. The B.E.2c was ordered into production to replace the older B.E.2a and B.E.2b. The first production aircraft, built by Vickers, was delivered on December 19, 1914. The B.E.2c was used most effectively as a Home Defence aircraft; its stability became an asset, especially in night operations. Its slow rate of climb was still a problem, but no more than for any other aircraft used against the Zeppelins, which could gain height much quicker than any contemporary aircraft. Twelve squadrons would operate the B.E.2 on home defence duties, more than half of them from early in 1916. It had destroyed several Zeppelins by the end of 1916, forcing the Germans to abandon Zeppelin raids.
As can be seen from the primary source [jms1], it appears difficult, at least to me, to exclude that J.E. Morgan was not the victim of some misinterpretation. It appears that he was quite "lost" in the dark night.
The notion that he was "lost" appears qhen what he thought to be the Southend pier, he realized on coming down, "were the lights of a large Dutch steamer off Thames Haven".
Obviously, David Clarke located the "PRO Air 1/438 15/300/1. Rochford Station (Naval): report on night landing ground, 1916" report (date February 2, 1916?); from which he apparently got more details than from the book by Captain Joseph Morris. For example when the "UFO" went up, it was done "so rapidly in fact that Morgan believed his own aircraft had gone into a dive".
It is not certain that it was a misinterpretation of ground lights or ship lights. What seems to goes against it is that the "UFO" was "a little above his own level", and that after he fired at it, "the lights alongside rose rapidly", suggesting it was not something at ground-level. Also, he thought the "hostile airship" was only some 100 feet away, that is, very very close.
It is mildly possible that it was what Morgan first thought, a Zeppelin, able to climb quite rapidly; however, the "row of lights" do not make a good case for this.
So, I feel unable to decide what J. E. Morgan saw.
Above:
Zeppelin caught in searchlights over Scotland, 1916.
Unknown, possible misinterpretation, insufficient information.

Q: Find only inputs type number that have quantities of 0 I opened this thread: Set number input max based on the sum of 4 inputs using jquery and reset quantity
it works but I need to understand, in the list of divs that contain the quantity input, the only ones that have quantity at 0 in order to disable them on click and not allow selection.
I explain the situation better:

*

*the quantity fields must start from 0, but only initially because then the user must then change the quantity at will. <-- it works

*the sum of the quantities must be 2 and therefore do not allow to add other quantities greater than 2. <-- it works

*what i miss is that i must not allow the user to select the field if there are options to 0 after the first change of quantity (if condition of 2 quantity is reached) so as not to allow the selection. It is also okay to disable the click on the div and or make it blurry.
for example
4 input fields initially:

0
0
0
0

4 input fields after the quantity change:

0 -> change to 1
0 -> change to 1
0 -> change to 0 <-- condition of 2 quantities selected with the 2 fields above, this
                     at 0 does not make it clickable
0 -> change to 0 <-- condition of 2 quantities selected with the 2 fields above, this
                     at 0 does not make it clickable

Here the html: https://pastebin.com/DjX8Kkt1
Here my Javascript/Jquery code:
$("input[type='number'].wapo-product-qty").attr({
   "max" : 2,        // substitute your own
   "min" : 0          // values (or variables) here
});

$("input[type='number'].wapo-product-qty").val(0);
$('button#add_to_cart_button').css("visibility", "hidden");

$("input[type='number'].wapo-product-qty").change(function () {
$.each($("input[type='number'].wapo-product-qty"), function
(index, element) {
    var total = 0;
    $.each($("input[type='number'].wapo-product-
   qty").not($(element)), function (innerIndex, innerElement) {
        total += parseInt($(innerElement).val());
    });

  var allinputs =
document.querySelectorAll("input[type='number'].wapo-product-
   qty, .selection-multiple");
      var myLength = allinputs.length;
      var input;

  for (var i = 0; i < myLength; ++i) {
    input = allinputs[i];
if (input.value == 0) {
    input.style.backgroundColor = "lime";
    }
    else{
          input.style.backgroundColor = "lightblue";
          input.style.pointerEvents = "all";
    }
  }

    if ($(element).val() > 2 - total)
            {
             $('button#add_to_cart_button').css("visibility",
"hidden");
             alert('la quantità complessiva non può essere superiore a 2');
             event.target.value = 0;
     return false;
   }
          else if ($(element).val() == 2 - total) {
          $('button#add_to_cart_button').css("visibility",
"visible");
         }

         else
         {
    $(element).attr("max", 2 - total);
          $('button#add_to_cart_button').css("visibility",
"hidden");
       }
    });
});

I find a partial solution in this code section, and so I detect only those that have a value of 0.
But I want to apply a different css to the class
.selection-multiple

how is this possible? Because in there he sees me both
input[type='number'].wapo-product-qty, .selection-multiple

and apply the same style for both, but I need to apply a different style for each in the condition of the for loop, which is the input quantity equal to 0.
var allinputs =
document.querySelectorAll("input[type='number'].wapo-product-
   qty, .selection-multiple");
      var myLength = allinputs.length;
      var input;

  for (var i = 0; i < myLength; ++i) {
    input = allinputs[i];
if (input.value == 0) {
    input.style.backgroundColor = "lime";
    }
    else{
          input.style.backgroundColor = "lightblue";
          input.style.pointerEvents = "all";
    }
  }

The Treacle Which Causes My Most Dear Friend's Ire + Other Items
My Most Dear Friend is a Convert from Greek Orthodoxy. She seeks the Sense of Beauty in The Worship of The Lord at The Holy Sacrifice of The Mass.
As She learned from a few people that Sunday Mass Presence is Mandatory, I did advise her, in the form of an Informal Warning, that the Liturgical Music of Today, is NOT The Glorious, Majestic Music of Pre Vatican II Era.
Let me say that what became the "Standard", came from the Modernist Arch Abbot of The Benedictine Monastery in a place, from whence a certain lighter than average beer was once made, Latrobe, PA.
That Arch Abbot later became the Archbishop of the Fictitious R C Archdiocese of Rembertland( With a Nod of Thanks to That Man in Black, Fr Joseph F Wilson), Weak in Doctrinal Practice, where High Altars are replaced with Pipe Organs. Since WHEN did Music become an Object of Worship?
For Three Hymns this morning at OLQM, they were Marian and Proper and Beautiful. But, come Holy Communion, like near the end of it comes "The Coupe De Gracie", a phrase spoken by a Member of a Knights of Columbus Council in East Glendale, Queens.
In this case, this Liturgical "Treacle", which means Syrupy Dreck, spoiled the Marian Theme of The Mass.
If you guessed that it was "Gift Of Finest Wheat", you get a Cookie.
Strange how Modern Mass Music can ruin a Masterpiece, but then most of the modern Mass Muzak is void of Catholic Eucharistic Theology, is Heretical, or is just Syrupy Dreck.
Since WHEN does The Blessed Virgin Mary Theotokos suddenly not Rank with Jesus who she bore? Then again, it must be Summer in The Time After Pentecost in the Latin Rite, when you will have Musical Filler Played, such as "Come & Take a Drink"(I am waiting for "Come Have a Couple of Beers On Us" to be sung at Mass[Yeah, Right]) at Holy Communion Time.
That was NOT The End of My Most Dear Friend's Resounding Ire, for such other Topics as Bishops, especially in Texas, receiving Federal Money from the Worst Pro Abortion President of The United States of America ever to occupy the White House, to push the Amnesty Illegal Immigration Agenda. We both agreed that these Bishops are no more than Politicians who have abandoned their Roles of Shepherds. "On Eagles Wings" is "Ghastly", a description given by The Redoubtable Fr Joseph F Wilson, a description of which She and I, heartily concur(Though a Great Tune for writing Song Parodies about). Then there are Masses of The Ordinary Form, where the Attempts at Artistry are Woeful, especially the "Latin English Half & Half Mix", which is Confusing to Parishioners. Please, Mass is NOT Entertainment.
To Which I said to My Most Dear Friend, it is no wonder as to WHY I choose to worship God at either the Tridentine Latin Mass of St. John XXIII or the Byzantine Catholic Divine Liturgy of St John Chrysostom. I can't take all this Novelty.
She said & I agreed to meet up after Mass on Monday Morning.

1) This week we're going to look for female relatives with beautiful hair in our photograph collections.
2) Find one or more photographs of females in your ancestral families that have beautiful hair, by your own subjective beauty standards.
3) Show the photograph(s) if you have it/them and tell us a bit about the person shown. If you don't have a digital photograph, please describe the female and her beautiful hair the best you can.
4) Write your own blog post, or a comment to this blog post, or a comment on Facebook or Google+.
The photo was taken in 1898 in Belleville, Kansas. Ada was the daughter of Charles F. Woodward (1862-1906) and Nellie Bell Redfield (1863-1889).
I believe that Ada Mina Woodward married David Talbert Williams (1882-1961) in about 1905 in Kansas. David and Ada had three children, and they both died in Wenatchee, Washington in 1961.
I've always wondered if Ada's hair was brunette or red.
Even though she was a new mother, she looked elegant with a short hairdo and stylish clothes. This may have been at Christmas 1943. I even have hair in this photo! My mother's hair was brown, as was mine.
I found a photo of a very pretty young girl.
A little delayed, but I found a photo with a very fashionable (for the time) hairstyle.
Fun challenge, Randy. Thanks! Here's my blog post.


Languages: Hindi in the Devanagari script is the official language of the Union and English the "subsidiary official language"
The climate of India defies easy generalization, comprising a wide range of weather conditions across a large geographic scale and varied topography. Analyzed according to the Köppen system, India hosts six major climatic subtypes, ranging from desert in the west, to alpine tundra and glaciers in the north, to humid tropical regions supporting rain forests in the southwest and the island territories. Many regions have starkly different micro climates. The nation has four seasons: winter (January and February), summer (March to May), a monsoon (rainy) season (June to September), and a post-monsoon period (October to December).
India's unique geography and geology strongly influence its climate; this is particularly true of the Himalayas in the north and the Thar Desert in the northwest. The Himalayas act as a barrier to the frigid katabatic winds flowing down from Central Asia. Thus, North India is kept warm or only mildly cold during winter; in summer, the same phenomenon makes India relatively hot. Although the Tropic of Cancer—the boundary between the tropics and subtropics—passes through the middle of India, the whole country is considered to be tropical.
As in much of the tropics, monsoonal and other weather conditions in India are unstable: major droughts, floods, cyclones and other natural disasters are sporadic, but have killed or displaced millions. India's long-term climatic stability may be further threatened by global warming.
Travel as light as possible. Clothing and laundry are both quite inexpensive.
Women should dress conservatively. Avoid tank tops or short skirts / shorts. The best outfit, especially during the hot summers, is a T-shirt worn with loose cotton trousers. These are comfortable, cool and easily washable. You can purchase them anywhere in India, at very reasonable rates, at any of the street shops. If you are adventurous, wear the Indian 'salwar-kameez'. It is comfortable and free sized, and you will be amazed at the change of attitude among the shopkeepers, pedestrians and taxicab drivers!
Do not forget to remove your footwear when visiting a place of worship or mausoleum.
Drink only bottled water. Buy it only from respectable or known outlets. In restaurants insist that they bring a sealed bottle to your table.
Try Indian Beer - it is quite drinkable.
Beef is not served in India. Pork is also not easily available.
Eat non-vegetarian food only in good restaurants. The meat in cheaper and smaller places is generally of dubious quality.
Vegetarian food is easily available, cheap, and of excellent quality.
For the first few days it might be advisable to clean your teeth in bottled water.
Eat fruit you can peel.
Always wash fruit well before eating it.
Always keep a tube of mosquito repellent with you.
Always carry a kit of the basic emergency medicines you might need for diarrhoea, fever, etc. Also, band aids and an antiseptic ointment.
Drink plenty of coconut water. It's cooling, and naturally sterilized!
If you are fair-complexioned, blonde or red-haired - and especially if you are female - chances are that you will be stared at continuously, specially in the smaller towns. Don't be offended - they mean no harm, it is just curiosity.
Avoid crowds, especially if you are female.
Try to avoid shaking hands. Greet people with a 'namaste' (hands pressed together at chest level as if in prayer). You will be appreciated for using the Indian style of greeting.
Try to shop only in government handicraft shops. There the prices are fixed and the quality is certified. If that is not an option, check the prices at a few shops before making a choice. Bargaining is standard and is enjoyed by all.
Get used to the fact that you will probably be charged more than the locals. If possible, take a local along when you go shopping.
Indians joke about the concept of "Indian Stretchable Time" (IST). Certainly, if you're a super-punctual sort, India can be frustrating. Make allowances for this.
In India, public toilet facilities are few and far between, and those that are there should not be ventured into. Take every opportunity you can to use a clean a toilet in places such as hotels and restaurants. Make this a habit wherever you go.
In hotels and restaurants, tips are not normally included in the bill.
Some hotels include service charges on their bills. In such cases tipping is not necessary.
The standard tip is 10%.
In hotels, porters and room service attendants are normally tipped at the end of the stay, though an early tip is likely to get you better service.
Keep extra photocopies of the relevant pages of your passport. This will be required for Indian permits.
When asking for directions, ask shopkeepers, not pedestrians. Cross-check with at least two people.
Taxi and auto-rickshaw fares keep changing, and therefore do not always conform to readings on meters. Insist on seeing the latest rate card (available with the driver) and pay accordingly.
Insist on the taxi/auto meter being flagged down in your presence.
Do not let them hassle you, and do not encourage them by giving them too much money. A one-rupee coin is sufficient.
Dress codes for religious places can include covering your head, being barefoot etc. Ask, so that you don't unwillingly give offence.
Some temples do not permit any leather articles at all on their premises.
Certain areas of temples are not open to Non-Hindus.
Most museums in India are closed on Mondays and Site Museums, those near archaeological monuments, on Fridays.
The dry summer heat can drain you completely. Drink lots of water and fluids.
Photography is not always permissible, and at many places it is permitted only at a fee. There is usually a higher fee for using a video camera.
Smoking is not allowed at all public places.
English is spoken at almost all tourist centers, but you can also request Government-trained and approved guides who also speak German, French, Spanish, Japanese, Italian or Russian.


Staglers are Grade A naturally cast red deer antlers, shed from wild deer annually. They're top quality, long lasting and a very safe way to satisfy your dog. Rich in colour with great density for durability.

Can Brazil Find Redemption At This Summer's World Cup?
If you check back on Brazil's history in the World Cup you'll notice that they sometimes need to endure failure before coming back and taking the crown.
The first time the South Americans won the Jules Rimet trophy was back in 1958, when they had the talented stars of Pele, Nilton Santos, Vava and Garrincha in their ranks.
But in actual fact, they were heavy favourites to win the tournament eight years earlier when they were the tournament hosts.
Everything looked to be going to plan as they topped their group, before demolishing both Spain and Portugal on their route to the final at the Maracana.
In that final, they were up against confederation neighbours Uruguay.
It was all going fine as Friaca gave the home side the lead just after half time. The Brazilians were being treated as winners before the game had even kicked-off and the opening goal would have sent Rio into a carnival like atmosphere.
Then the gods decided to have fate intervene. Uruguay would equalise in the sixty-sixth minute and then on the seventy-ninth minute Brazil's world caved in on itself.
Penarol right winger Alcides Ghiggia picked the ball up and drove into the box before taking a shot at goal. The effort looked fairly innocuous, yet inexplicably Brazilian goalie Moacyr Barbosa wasn't ready or in the right position to stop it going in at his near post.
The 190,000 odd in the Maracana fell silent as the thought of not winning their home World Cup started to sink in and the country pretty much went into mourning.
Brazil's failure in 1950 would make the triumph all the sweeter as they perfected an exciting attacking style that would dominate international football for the next twelve years. They won three out of four World Cups between 58′ and 1970.
In 1998, the Selecao were once again considered to be overwhelming favourites. They had won the cup in USA 94′ and this time they had Ronaldo, the most gifted striker of his generation.
'O Fenomeno' was amazing in the 98' tournament scoring four goals as he led his nation to the final and they expected the hitman to gun down hosts France and bring home the trophy.
But fate again decided on a different ending.
Ronaldo would suffer seizures leading up to the final and wasn't initially named in the starting eleven. The world's media went into meltdown trying to get to the reasoning on why the world's best player wasn't playing on the greatest stage of them all. Then all of a sudden a new team-sheet was handed over and Ronaldo was to start the game after all.
Alas Ronaldo was in no fit state to play and the pressure on him had clearly affected his mental and physical state. He would be a passenger as Zinedine Zidane would capture the gold trophy for France.
Ronaldo would suffer from plenty of devastating injuries in the next four years and when the World Cup came around again in 2002, he along with his country were written off as outsiders.
The superstar striker managed to turn it all around and get his own taste of redemption as he scored eight goals and helped secure Brazil's fifth World Cup title. He'd grab a brace in the final and his grin once again lit up plant earth.
Four years ago, Brazil would host the biggest cup competition for the first time since the 1950 disaster.
Things were looking good as star man Neymar struck four times in the group stages. They would then knock-out fellow South American sides Chile and Colombia. The quarter-final victory over Los Cafeterias came at a cost as Neymar left the field on a stretcher with a broken bone in his back diagnosed after the game. That injury would keep the talismanic figure out for the remainder of the competition.
The shocked Brazilian side then had to face Germany without their main star and they were savagely beaten by seven goals to one.
Every German attack seemed destined to finish in a goal and the Selecao's defensive line just crumbled under the intense pressure and couldn't win a tackle or keep the ball.
Once again Brazil were humiliated and humbled on their own turf with the rest of the planet watching on.
Now just four years on and there's once again a whiff of redemption in the air as the Samba stars arrived in Russia.
Neymar missed the last few months of the league season in France due to injury but he's returned on the eve of the World Cup and looks to have fully caught up with the speed of first-team international football again. The forward could be seen as this year's Ronaldo, the player that needs to shine and once again prove himself in the yellow jersey of his nation.
In Gabriel Jesus, they have a clinical young striker. While Roberto Firmino gives them a harder working attacker if that's the tactic that's needed to break down defences.
Goalkeeper Alisson is a world-class shot-stopper and you need to have a good keeper if you want to go far in this competition.
They've got experience at the back with Thiago Silva, Filipe Luis, Miranda and Marcelo all in the pool.
In midfield they've got a bit of everything. You've got ball winners, passers, creative forces and pace too.
You won't find many squads as strong or as well balanced as the Brazilian one.
The man charged with picking the right starting eleven is Tite.
Chelsea man Willian has been quick to praise the fifty-seven year old coach:
"He is the one who changed a lot of things. That's why Brazil now play great football. With the ball. Without the ball."
"Off the pitch, he is a great guy as well. Great manager. That's why Brazil are in this position now."
Tite has pulled Brazil up from the despair of 2014 and is inspiring them to create history in Russia and claim their sixth World Cup.
As we know, Brazil are a proud nation and they don't take defeat well. They seem to use previous failures as energy to spur them on to their next triumph.
You shouldn't bet against them doing it yet again this summer!

hands onto anything and everything she writes. While I admit that "school stories" are not typically something I enjoy reading (mainly because they can become exceedingly tedious), Bella manages to write this story in an interesting and unique manner that immediately caught my attention.
Walden by Bella Bryce from blushing books.... was phenomenal! I read it in one day and with three small kids that really says something! BRAVO on the excellent read it was the kind of book that leaves you feeling a little sad when you get to the last page because you are not ready for it to be over yet!!
Walden has been the school teenagers want to go to since 1660. Influence and the guarantee of success after the two-year programme hasn't thwarted applications from pouring in, even some fifty years after corporal punishment has virtually disappeared from education. Not at Walden.
With great privilege comes great responsibility and the prefects of Walden School are not elected based on popularity, but on their character, integrity and with the knowledge that they will carry out most of the discipline required of their peers. During the summer holiday, eight senior pupils return to learn what it means to lead the school – just as it has been led since 1660.
In this prequel to the series, you will meet the people with influence; some who are not so keen on the school and others who are not so amused at not having been made prefect.
Mr. Warwick's message was weighty from the moment he spoke. He had such a profound sense of delivery. It was a gift to be able to communicate like that. His question was also rhetorical so no one replied.
Shaken to the core? Entirely. Hadley didn't like being vulnerable and certainly not in front of other people. Vulnerability meant one had to be seen out of the shell in which they usually hid. Emotionally, Hadley was really rather closed off. His parents were both incredibly reserved. They didn't like fussing. Words of affirmation had often been spoken with little expression. They were more like facts. It was only as he was reaching adulthood that he realised how the complete lack of it could destroy relationships. Silence was often seen as agreement or the absence of validation. If the prefects couldn't grasp those concepts, then how could they walk their peers through two of the most significant years of their lives? Parents weren't often the ones who were able to speak into their teenager's life at that point because more than likely, there had already been a grand clash of expectations. Walden was uniquely placed to make an impression and they did it on a scale unmatched with any other school, including raising the bar and keeping it there. Leaders had to be established and then broken down in order to be rebuilt to Walden's specific standards.
The greatest test of vulnerability came during the end of the second week when Mr. Warwick came into the classroom as he had done every morning thus far, but this time he carried a cane. Several other instruments of discipline had already been placed on his desk which didn't escape the eagle eye of any of the prefects when they entered before him. It was symbolic that he entered the schoolroom with the one thing pupils tended to fear the most. Hadley watched it with concentration rather than fear. This was not the time to get nervous.
Obviously. The eight prefects didn't quite squirm, although brief bouts of eye contact were exchanged as Mr. Warwick stopped in front of the teacher's desk.
Mr. Warwick gently laid the cane across the desk horizontally as if to underline the other implements that were displayed vertically in a neat line. Hadley felt he knew what was coming next.
"Then, you will all take a dose of each," Mr. Warwick said.
A collective break of concentration caused the prefects to properly look at one another now.
That kind of defenselessness was not something Hadley wanted to submit to. He would, of course, but that would qualify as a very great test. Surely.
That evening in his private study Hadley opened his composition book. Even the beautiful fountain pen looked less vibrant as the bearer hesitated to script the question. He felt unworthy of his position just thinking about it. This is a judgment-free zone. He remembered the Headmaster saying so when giving each prefect a Walden-branded composition book labelled with the prefects' initials. The monogramme was meant to steer any prying eyes from peeking inside, should it be found out of one's possession. Judgment-free zone. He would simply have to trust that.
It was after eight o'clock when Hadley took the stairs to the third floor, which was nothing but closed doors with beautiful crystal handles silently standing to attention on both sides of the corridor. This is where the teachers lived during term time, and where pupils could approach them during evening study time. Mr. Warwick was occupying one of the teachers' flats during training, seeing as they were all afforded a nice long summer holiday and were still away.
"Hadley. I was expecting you," Mr. Warwick said as he held the door open. He offered a hand toward a pair of chairs facing the unlit fireplace adjacent. It was a cool evening but with near enough three layers of suiting on both men there was enough comfort not to require it being lit.
Hadley wasn't a weekday drinker. "Yes, sir. Thank you." But he was polite.
Mr. Warwick busied himself as Hadley claimed one of the leather chairs. They were partially facing the fireplace with enough of a slant to also afford adequate but not completely direct eye contact. Strategic for a gentleman's study. There was another door beside the fireplace and Hadley knew that lead into the teachers' suite. As if prefects didn't have very sophisticated and comfortable private living quarters, the teachers had no less.
"I will admit that when I arrived for training I was quite looking forward to the evenings with a glass of port," Mr. Warwick said as he carried two small glasses with him.
"When you were my age, sir?" It was no secret that prefects had decanters of drink available to them.
That was entertaining, but of course Hadley didn't laugh. "Thank you, sir." He also waited for Mr. Warwick to sit down and take the first sip before he had any.
study." It was important to specify, since every prefect had two studies. The private one was within their private living quarters. Their main study was where pupils reported and was accessed just outside the four houses on the first floor, so there was a big difference as to where drink was kept.
An amused chuckle followed the remark, although Hadley felt if he relaxed too much it would take away from the reverence with which he'd arrived. His presence was humble for a very good reason and that was what he focused on as they had small talk and sipped. Being that the legal drinking age was sixteen and culturally, it was typical to engage in moderate daily intake (as a blanket statement). Regardless of that fact, Walden allowed only prefects the privilege, even that was on a very limited basis. Prefects had a small selection of drink in their private studies and equally small glass goblets from which to consume. Drunkenness or the offering of sips to other pupils had but rarely occurred in school history; the reasons were obvious because the consequences were. In fact, that was one of limited ways a pupil would ever be caned in front of the entire school. The last time that boundary was crossed was over one hundred years ago, and anything before that wasn't recorded, therefore, it didn't happened.
Mr. Warwick crossed one leg over his other with only the kind of easy confidence a man of his age did. He was successful and he knew who he was, which is why a lot of his mannerisms were so relaxed.
Hadley set the small goblet on the table nearby. Politeness was often terribly inconvenient. The words were there in the notebook so he would really rather not repeat them aloud. Mr. Warwick extended his free hand and the notebook was promptly handed over. Now his drink went to the table as the notebook was opened. His eyes were on the page just long enough to read the five words and then they met Hadley's. Mr. Warwick tapped the outside of the composition book with one finger briefly.
Hadley's expression was as stone straight as usual, although he felt relief flooding the guilt-trons that had invaded.
"It was in my own notebook. I asked the same question, in exactly the same manner." Hadley wasn't about to sound like an idiot asking, you did? He wanted to.
"Especially when one descends from one of the founders," Hadley replied.
That was the least of Hadley's worries. Seniors were nothing to worry about. They knew better—on all accounts. It was no mistake junior year was the most difficult.

Achozen est un groupe américain de hip-hop et musique expérimentale. Il s'agit d'un projet musical du bassiste de System of a Down Shavo Odadjian, du membre du Wu-Tang Clan RZA, du membre de Killarmy Kinetic 9, et de l'un des affiliés du Wu-Tang Clan, Reverend William Burke. Un premier album est annoncé au milieu des années 2000, mais attendu depuis.

Historique
Achozen, formé en 2006, est un projet parallèle du bassiste Shavo Odadjian (System of a Down), de RZA (Wu Tang Clan), Kinetic 9 (Killarmy) et de Reverend William Burke (Affiliation au Wu-Tang). Shavo en est le MC, le bassiste (sur une basse à six cordes sans frettes), ainsi que le compositeur et le parolier. RZA est le rappeur et également l'auteur de certains textes. La rencontre des deux musiciens se fait en 2000 (entre l'album éponyme de System of a Down et l'album ) lorsque System of a Down décide de reprendre la chanson  du Wu Tang Clan. Shavo se rend compte que les auditeurs pourraient mal prendre le fait que quatre blancs jouent une chanson dans laquelle les paroles parlent de nigga (« négro »). Il rencontre RZA et lui demande de poser sa voix sur leur reprise, RZA étant afro-américain. Démarre une longue amitié entre RZA et Shavo (qui est très fan du Wu Tang Clan). RZA apprend à Shavo comment utiliser une boîte à rythmes, et Shavo à RZA comment jouer de la guitare. Shavo se met à travailler sur sa boîte à rythmes dans son bus de tournée (alors en tournée avec System of a Down). Ils décident ensuite de travailler dans leur studio personnel et finissent par donner, le , le premier concert d'Achozen. Shavo veut, avec ce projet, créer un nouveau style de rap. À noter que Shavo est le bassiste du Wu Tang Clan pendant un moment après la pause de System of a Down.

Le groupe annonce un projet musical au milieu des années 2000. Le duo contribue à la chanson  du film d'action Babylon A.D. avec Vin Diesel réalisé en 2008, et publie la chanson , l'année suivante. Depuis ce moment, le groupe reste inactif et silencieux concernant ses projets musicaux.

Le groupe revient en juillet 2015 lors d'une entrevue accordée au magazine . Lorsque le magazine demande des explications à RZA quant à la date de sortie de leur futur album tant attendu, celui-ci répond :

Vale Peter Corrigan
On behalf of the Australian Institute of Architects, National President Professor Ken Maher has expressed great sadness at the passing of 2003 Gold Medallist, Peter Corrigan AM.
'Peter was a stalwart of the architectural community, inspiring through his teachings and his practice. He nurtured an enduring architectural culture in Melbourne that has been influential throughout the country and beyond. Peter will be greatly missed yet his presence will be sustained through a true legacy carried by those who were fortunate to learn from him and work with him throughout his extraordinary career,' Prof Maher said.
In awarding the Institute's 2003 Gold Medal, the jury noted Corrigan 'has challenged the orthodoxy of the architectural establishment in Australia with his provocative ideas, which have encouraged positive debate within the profession. His self-projected images, both larrikin and laid-back, conceal a gentle person with an intensely passionate and intellectual approach to architecture.
'As a teacher Peter Corrigan has presented fresh and invigorating insights, and through instruction and example he has imbued his students with a sense of compassion and involvement. While always done with modest self-effacement, his care for and generosity to the younger generation of architects is legendary.'
In 2008 he was made a Member of the Order of Australia for 'service to architecture as an academic, educator and practitioner and to the arts, particularly through theatre production design'.
A Professor of Architecture at RMIT University, Corrigan was awarded the Institute's Neville Quarry Architectural Education Prize in 2013.
The Neville Quarry Architectural Education Prize jury citation stated 'Corrigan has exerted a profound and long lasting influence on the architectural profession in Australia through his practice, writing and commitment to teaching design. As a recipient of a multitude of honours he has built a reputation equal to any living architect in Australia; yet throughout it all he has continued to deliver design studios and lectures in architectural history at RMIT University'.

PITTSBURGH'S WHISKEY MAVERICKS HEAD OUTSIDE
For too long, beer has held sway over, uh, outdoor drinking areas. Sure, beer gardens are great — and yes, it is true that you can technically drink whatever you want in most of them. But why not dedicate a relaxing outdoor area to a different kind of beverage? Why not a whiskey garden? Never fear: the innovators of the hard stuff in Pittsburgh, Wigle Whiskey, are here to make that change.
Tomorrow is the grand opening of Wigle's Whiskey Garden and Barrelhouse, where you'll be able to enjoy drinks with Wigle's spirits al fresco. They're kicking things off in style with an old-fashioned barrel roll from the Barrelhouse across the 16th Street Bridge; at the event proper, two signature cocktails will be offered alongside food from Wilson's BBQ, music by the City Dwelling Nature Seekers and more.

FIND OUT WHAT ANDY WAS HIDING
Most of us have untold boxes of correspondence, keepsakes and bric-a-brac laying around our basements and attics.

Tomorrow night, the staff at the Andy Warhol Museum will open yet another of his mysterious boxes for the first time at OUT OF THE BOX: Time Capsule Opening. Previous boxes have revealed everything from unknown artworks and celebrity portraits to plain garbage — cheer for the former tomorrow night.

Developer, city OK land swap for Newport Shores project
Ansay to trade lakefront land for pavilion site to pave way for new building
THE PORT WASHINGTON Common Council last month approved a land swap that paves the way for construction of Ansay Development's Newport Shores project on the site of the current Newport Shores restaurant building. Construction of the building, shown from the east in this rendering by project architectural firm Rinka, is expected to begin in spring.
KRISTYN HALBIG ZIEHM
Ozaukee Press staff
The City of Port Washington and Ansay Development have inked an agreement that outlines the terms by which the two entities will swap pieces of lakefront land to accommodate Ansay's proposed Newport Shores development.
The memorandum approved Dec. 4 is intended not only to formalize the land swap — Ansay will be giving up land along the lakeshore directly east of Newport Shores restaurant while the city will be trading property that houses the fish cleaning station and Kiwanis pavilion south of the restaurant — but also to set the stage for a formal developer's agreement.
That agreement will set many of the terms under which the development will be constructed.
"That's where all the specific language will be," City Administrator Mark Grams told the Common Council Dec. 4. "This says the city is willing to swap the land according to the terms to be worked out in the developer's agreement."
Ansay Development unveiled plans this spring for a modern building with a mix of uses — as many as 30 condominiums, office space, a store, restaurant and rooftop pub — to replace the current Newport Shores restaurant on the Port Washington waterfront.
The L-shaped building, which features a bold, glassy design, would encompass not only the eatery, but also two structures to the west owned by Newport Shores proprietor John Weinrich and a portion of the city-owned property south of the restaurant.
The memorandum approved by aldermen does spell out some terms of the land swap.
Ansay is required, at its cost, to relocate the fish cleaning station to a location approved by the city and Ansay, and to construct a new pavilion similar to the Kiwanis shelter at a new site.
The developer is also required to erect signage or a monument recognizing the Gilson family, which donated the land involved in the swap to the city, on the land the city will acquire.
The memorandum also states that the swap will occur when Ansay acquires the Newport Shores property, and that if substantial construction does not begin within the time period set in the developer's agreement, the city can regain ownership of its land.
It also states that, if desired, Ansay Development Corp. can only assign its rights to an entity in which Michael Ansay is a principal.
Ald. John Sigwart noted that Ansay is required to make a substantial investment in city amenities, and asked if the firm has determined how much in tax incremental district funding it would need.
Ian McCain, Ansay's design/construction manager, who had told aldermen in November the firm would be looking for a pay-as-you-go TIF to help fund the development, said that has not been determined.
"We need direction to get that dollar amount," McCain said — specifically, a final location for the fish cleaning station and pavilion.
The Harbor Commission has made a "fairly strong" recommendation that the fish cleaning station be moved to an island in the marina parking lot just south of the existing station, Grams said, because it would help relieve traffic issues in the area.
The Harbor Commission on Monday reiterated that stance, even after looking at a recommendation by the Great Lakes Sport Fishermen presented last week that asks that the station be located elsewhere in the marina parking lot.
The Parks and Recreation Board has recommended moving the shelter to South Beach.
Ansay expects to begin construction of the Newport Shores project in late spring with completion in spring 2020, officials have said.

Work has started on demolishing the Imex Business Park in Burton
The former business complex will make well to a new £3 million homes scheme
Jenny MoodySenior reporter
Work has been launched on the demolition of an historic Burton building with links to the town's famous brewing heritage, paving the way for a £3 million home scheme.
Workmen can be seen hard at work tearing down the buildings at the back of the former Imex Business Park, in Shobnall Road to clear the path for 140 new homes.
The buildings at the back of the centre, off Curzon Street, have been reduced to a pile of rubble, although the front buildings which can be seen from Shobnall Road still appear to be intact.
Burton author Ian Webster, who regularly delves into the town's past for his books, said he noticed the buildings had been torn down as he drove past.
He said that he noticed that all the glass has now been taken out of the windows - and he believes the buildings at the back of the centre were ancillary buildings when it was the former Maltings as part of the Ind Coope and Allsopps brewing era.

Plans were revealed earlier this year for the eight-acre business complex to be bulldozed to the ground for a new £3 million homes scheme.
The area will be used to build 140 homes after the project was approved by East Staffordshire Borough Council's planning committee.
The Burton Mail has previously revealed that the complex, which dates back 27 years, is currently empty, with firms forced to vacate after being served with notices to leave by the owners of the park last year.
The history of Imex
Like many buildings in Burton, the Imex Business Park is linked to the town's world-famous brewing industry.
It was once the Ind Coope and Allsopp's Maltings, which were converted into bottling stores in 1947 and officially opened the following year.
Through the late 1930s it was realised that the former bottling store was no longer able to cope with demand for bottled beer.
In 1940 the first plans were drawn up for new bottling stores. It was put on hold during the Second World War, with work beginning at the end of the war in 1945.
The initial cost was £262,350 and included seven bottling units.
It officially opened in 1948, closed in 1987 and opened as the Imex Business Park in 1991.
One company, Industrial Cranes and Parts, claimed it had to spend £30,000 moving to new smaller premises, including the cost of moving its machinery.
The business park, containing seven industrial and office buildings, has been sold by the owners Hansteen Holdings PLC to the Government agency Homes and Communities Agency.
The agency, which is responsible for providing new affordable housing, has also taken on the former Burton Magistrates' Court in the town, controversially shut in September 2016.
A spokesman for the agency said the Imex site would make way for "much-needed" local homes.
