The New Megacities of the Next Decade
Euromonitor International released a whitepaper earlier this year called Megacities: Developing Country Domination. It includes a forecast for cities that will reach the level of a "megacity" by 2030. A megacity is defined as a city with a population of over 10 million people.
Many businesses wondering if a target market is perhaps too saturated with other similar businesses, such as fast food franchises or service offerings, can feel good that the six cities this report mentions are growing quite well and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. Cultural, political, economic and many other aspects will surely need to be considered for any business expansion. But as the saying goes, size matters.
The Next Megacities
The report names Chicago, USA; Bogotá, Colombia; Luanda, Angola; Dar es Salaam, Tanzania; Baghdad, Iraq and Chennai, India as the next cities destined to reach "megacity" status. With their inclusion into this classification, there will be 39 cities with this designation by 2030. According to the report, there are currently 33 megacities in the world.
Europe currently has four megacities and based on the report, Europe will not be adding any new megacities in the next decade. The Americas will add Chicago and Bogotá and will then have nine megacities, up from their seven current megacities. India already has four and will add one more with Chennai. Africa and the Middle East will add three to the three they currently have. Major growth in Africa is expected and this reinforces many other similar projections.
Among the current megacities expected to see a decline in population growth are Tokyo and Osaka. Today, Tokyo is the world's most populous city, but Jakarta, Indonesia will become the world most populous city by 2030, with an expected population of almost 36 million people.
While there are six identified cities projected to become megacities in the next 10 to 11 years, there are many other cities also expanding and worth considering for your business expansion. Today, half of the world's population live in or near cities. By 2030, the report forecasts this will increase to 60%.

Mock Draft O.T.Y.
Brendt Pates 04/23 Visits: 393
Kyler Murray is the best player in the draft. Let's not overthink this thing ... He's a perfect fit for that offense.
I see Bosa as a ready-made star. The 49ers have met with him at least four times, so perhaps they're not as convinced. Offensive tackle Mike McGlinchey only needed a 15-minute sitdown at the combine to win them over for last year's top pick.
Despite having just a single season of headline production, his instincts, quickness and athleticism are projectable play traits that should allow for continued production against both the run and pass on the next level. Williams is an instant starter with Pro Bowl potential.
Oakland Raiders: Ed Oliver
The Raiders can at least fill out a two-deep after late free-agency signings, but they won't head into the regular season with Arden Key, Benson Mayowa, Alex Barrett and Josh Mauro. That crew won't intimidate many. Adding one of the early draft picks could add a fear factor, especially if one comes at No. 4, in a small trade down from there or trade up from two picks in the 20s. Let's be honest here -- the Raiders could use two edge rushers ready to contribute right away.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Jonah Williams
If, on the other hand, the Bucs don't target a QB early in the draft, Williams would be a fine selection as a long-needed upgrade at left tackle. The top prospect at the position in this class, Williams should step in and start on Day 1.
If the Giants still prioritize games started at a Power-5 school (for Lock, in the best conference -- the SEC), frame (6-foot-4, 228 pounds), and arm talent, he will be their target. Giants head coach Pat Shurmur could view Lock as a ball of clay that he can't wait to coach and introduce to his offensive scheme.
Jacksonville Jaguars: Andre Dillard
The Jags re-signed right guard A.J. Cann this month, but the veteran is a player who hasn't really made a lot of improvement since being drafted in 2015. Considering that, if the opportunity presents itself, the Jags should look to add some competition at the position early.
Detroit Lions: Josh Allen
Ideal for the Lions, Allen is the perfect weapon for Patricia's 3-4, giving him that outside disruptive force to pressure the quarterback.
Buffalo Bills: Jawaan Taylor
Perhaps the ideal succession plan for the Bills would be to draft a guy like Alabama's Jonah Williams and start him out at guard with Nsekhe at the right tackle spot and move Williams to tackle down the road. They will also be in position to take a guy like Washington State's Andre Dillard — who is believed to be the best pass protecting tackle in the draft (that would be huge for Allen) — or Jawaan Taylor, Florida's right tackle who plays with a mean streak.
Denver Broncos: T.J. Hockenson
This might be the Broncos biggest need entering the draft. They did re-sign Jeff Heuerman, but he's nothing more than a depth piece really. Jake Butt is recovering from his third ACL tear and really can't be counted on at this point and Troy Fumagalli is basically a rookie for the Broncos. So a starter/impact player is needed here, especially in this offense.
Cincinnati Bengals: Devin White
White is one of the most dynamic players in the draft. He's a sideline-to-sideline beast who would immediately solidify the middle of the defense, making life easier for both the front four and the secondary. White is sometimes a split-second slow to diagnose what's happening in front of him but has the first-step athleticism to make up for it.
Green Bay Packers: Rashan Gary
The Packers have a solid starting group that includes Kenny Clark, Mike Daniels and Dean Lowry. But Daniels is entering a contract year and this is one of the strongest drafts for defensive linemen in years. If a player like Michigan defensive end Rashan Gary (6-4, 277) was available at No. 12, Gutekunst would be hard pressed to pass him up.
Miami Dolphins: Montez Sweat
The Dolphins have to find a pass rusher this year, which could mean a first-round pick on the position is in order. The Dolphins current defensive end group includes Tank Carradine, Charles Harris, Jeremiah Valoaga, and Jonathan Woodard, who have a combined 10.5 career sacks. Add in the recently signed linebacker Jarone Elliott, who led the short-lived Alliance of American Football in sacks, and that numbers increases to 14.5 career NFL sacks.
The position with the most obvious need, EDGE is practically a wasteland for the Falcons in 2019—especially with Vic Beasley a near lock to be cut. Takk has shown flashes of ability as a #2 pass rusher, but he can't do it alone. Brooks Reed is purely a rotational player at this point, though he's a solid fourth guy that can play the run and the pass.
Daniel Jones is an ideal fit for Jay Gruden's timing-based system. He gets through his progressions quickly and throws with good timing and proper mechanics. But if the rumors are true, and Dwayne Haskins is sliding down draft boards, then you can move him to the top of the list. Those edge rushers will temp Washington, but quarterback has to be the priority.
Carolina Panthers: Greedy Williams
This is hardly a consensus. Equally strong arguments are made for Deandre Baker of Georgia and Byron Murphy of Washington. But Williams gets the nod here because of his exceptional coverage ability. "He might be one of the best cover guys in the draft," former NFL scout and Western New York native Greg Gabriel writes for the Pro Football Weekly Draft Guide. "But his tackling skills and inability to consistently shed blocks will hurt him in the eyes of some clubs."
New York Giants: Byron Murphy
Washington's Byron Murphy might have the most well-rounded game of the corners in this draft class, boasting easy change of direction ability, the ability to cover in man and zone, and quality ball skills. The New York Giants don't have much in the way of proven long-term answers at the cornerback position. And while Murphy might not fit the Giants' physical archetypes for a defender, his skill set should put him in consideration for a high pick.
The player development at NC State under Dave Doeren has been a key to sustained success, and Bradbury's potential first-round selection is yet another success story. Bradbury signed with the Wolfpack as a three-star tight end from a private in-state school and worked his way up to being one of the top offensive line prospects in the draft class.
Tennessee Titans: Clelin Ferrell
Has an explosive first step and a high motor, and gets to the quarterback quickly. Ferrell also shows good change of direction for a big man, and his production backs it all up. He had 10 sacks and 17.5 tackles for loss in 2018 after 9.5 sacks and 18 tackles for loss the season before.
Pittsburgh Steelers: Johnathan Abram
Highly regarded for his instincts and hard-hitting style, Abram is the ideal nickel linebacker in a defense, as he can still hold his own effectively in coverage. However, he's not as adept in coverage as others on this list and as such, it's no surprise he struggles the further he is from the line of scrimmage.
Seattle Seahawks: Christian Wilkins
Wilkins did not endure significant injuries with Clemson and has very unusual potential red flags. Wilkins was spotted "groping" an opponent during the PlayStation Fiesta Bowl. The incident was chalked up to on-field antics to "mess with" players on the field. Wilkins did apologize for the event and that he was "just being silly." Wilkins also steamed up some controversy when he was filmed doing a striptease at a Clemson fundraising event.
Baltimore Ravens: Jachai Polite
Za'Darius Smith and Terrell Suggs accounted for 36% of Baltimore's 43 sacks last season, and both left in free agency. 2018 breakout OLB Matt Judon is entering a contract year, while 2017 third-round pick Tim Williams has struggled to earn playing time. GM Eric DeCosta should seriously consider drafting two or even three pass rushers. The Ravens need help on the outside and interior.
Houston Texans: Yodny Cajuste
Extremely athletic with good feet, Cajuste was tasked with protecting Will Grier at West Virginia. When he locks on to pass rushers he doesn't let go. He also shows the ability to pull effectively in the running game, and while he's not a technician, Cajuste keeps his head up and his weight balanced. He has the quickness to beat defensive ends to the spot on speed rushes and shows the ability to combo-block and get to second level with ease.
Oakland Raiders: D.K. Metcalf
Eats up cushion against cornerbacks and despite poor shuttle and 3-cone drills at the combine, routinely shows the ability to put the foot in the ground and get and out of breaks. He's good at creating separation with shoulder fakes and blazing speed (4.33 40). Also displays soft hands when hauling in long arcing throws, can high-point the ball on fade routes and has strong hands to fight off physical cornerbacks for the ball.
Philadelphia Eagles: Dexter Lawrence
The Eagles have an excellent starting defensive tackle duo in Malik Jackson and Fletcher Cox, but not much depth outside of Treyvon Hester. Philadelphia likes to rotate among the defensive line, so the Eagles could use a No. 3 option that could spell Jackson and Cox in the regular season. In a historic defensive line class, the Eagles certainly could go defensive tackle in Round 1. This was previously the No. 3 "need" earlier this month, but the Eagles value the defensive line. Expect them to pick a defensive lineman with one of their first three picks.
Indianapolis Colts: A.J. Brown
No matter who's left on the board at this point, the Colts should be able to land a good player at a position of need. Wilkins would be the dream pick, but Brown has the potential to be the best receiver in this class and the same could be said of Murphy at corner.
With so many top edge rushers off the board, the Raiders look away from their most glaring need and select a do-everything back seemingly tailor-made for Jon Gruden's scheme. Jacobs joins Antonio Brown and Tyrell Williams on a new-look Raiders offense that should be explosive in 2019 behind quarterback Derek Carr.
Power blocker who creates serious torque with faster-than-you'd-expect leg churn and has great feet for his size which allow him to mirror well. He's long enough to deal with small speed-rushers but they give him more problems than power rushers. May not have the explosiveness in his kick slide to play on the edge, yet still a fun, punishing offensive line prospect.
Seattle Seahawks: Jeffery Simmons
Simmons regularly requires double-teams and even then is hard to stop. He has non-stop motor and that, coupled with linebacker-like sideline-to-sideline mobility, means he's never out of a play. He routinely splits blockers on stretch plays to make tackles in backfield, and he has the ability to disengage from blocks to make tackles too. One of the best athletes in the draft, Simmons is adept against the run and the pass who is best described as a disruptive backfield presence.
Green Bay Packers: Marquise Brown
The team doubles up on big play WR's by snagging the ultra talented Brown at receiver, who is as undersized as he is explosive. It's frightening to think what Aaron Rodgers could do with a weapon like that.
Los Angeles Rams: Erik McCoy
McCoy is likely to be selected late in the first round or early on Day 2, almost certainly within the first three rounds. The Rams need help on the offensive line with Rodger Saffold and John Sullivan gone, while Andrew Whitworth could retire after next season, too. He can play either center or guard, which is valuable at the NFL level.
New England Patriots: Irv Smith
The Patriots need weapons for Tom Brady, and Smith will be a good, versatile piece for them. He's not much of a blocker, but they just signed Austin Seferian-Jenkins for that role, and Smith can be an Aaron Hernandez type – at least on the field.

Spanish opinion polls are signalling that the Socialist party could win a large share of the vote in a snap election on April 28 – but not enough for it to govern alone.
Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez called the snap vote in February after Catalan independence parties withdrew their support for the government's budget bill.
The move could have worked in Sanchez' favor, however, with opinion polls suggesting that his Spanish Socialist and Workers' Party (the PSOE) will gain far more parliamentary seats.
Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez called the snap vote in February after Catalan independence parties withdrew their support for the government's budget bill. The move could have worked in Sanchez' favor, however, with opinion polls suggesting that his Spanish Socialist and Workers' Party (the PSOE) will gain far more parliamentary seats.
There are four major parties spanning the political landscape in Spain – the left-wing, ruling Socialists, the center-right People's Party (PP), far-left Unidos Podemos party and the liberal, centrist Ciudadanos (Citizens' Party). There is also now an upstart, populist newcomer in the mix – the far-right VOX party.
According to the latest opinion poll, the PSOE leads by a wide margin and is seen with 31.1% of the votes. Conducted between April 9-11 by social research firm GAD3 for La Vanguardia newspaper, the poll showed the PP trailed with 20.1% of the vote, Ciudadanos was seen with 14.4% and Unidos Podemos with 11.4%. Far-right Vox is seen closely behind with 11.2% of the vote.
A host of smaller parties, including Catalan independence parties, are seen with a smaller percentage of the vote while a large number of voters (26%) remain undecided as to who to vote for, and this could have a large impact on the final result.
As it stands, however, the Socialist Party is expect to win the highest number of seats (around 137-139 seats). But with 350 seats up for grabs in Congress, no one party will gain an absolute majority (of 176 seats) to govern alone so a coalition government is highly likely. That will involve horse-trading between the main parties and smaller partners.
The PSOE could have to rely on Podemos and secessionists in Spain, again, while a right-leaning coalition could be formed by PP, Ciudadanos and Vox. Whatever the outcome, the political scene is seen as highly fragmented.
A key date for voters could be April 23 when a debate between the main party leaders – Pedro Sánchez (PSOE), Pablo Casado (PP), Pablo Iglesias (Podemos), Albert Rivera (Citizens) and Santiago Abascal (Vox) – is televised.
Spanish Economy and Enterprise Minister Nadia Calvino told CNBC Friday that the Socialist Party wants to gain a majority this time.
"Our hope would be to have a strong majority that would allow us to go on with a Socialist government and a very balanced and responsible reform agenda," she told CNBC's Joumanna Bercetche during IMF Spring Meetings in Washington. She did not want to speculate "on other options" – that is, a coalition government – although that is looking a likely outcome.
Government formation could prove tricky, according to risk consultancy Teneo Intelligence. "In terms of government formation, polls continue to point to a gridlock scenario," Antonio Barroso, deputy director of Research, said in a note early April.
"With a right-wing alliance currently out of reach, Sanchez might be able to explore an agreement with both Podemos and regional parties, or with Ciudadanos. A key factor that could determine whether an alliance can be concluded is the relative fear of parties to new elections," he noted.
Whoever wins the election will have to focus on dealing with restlessness from secessionist parties in Catalonia and further bids for independence, managing a countering force of nationalist sentiment and the rise of anti-immigrant populism (that has drawn disaffected voters to Vox) and boosting the economy and job creation.
Prime Minister Sanchez has been accused of pandering to Catalan separatists by promising talks on independence if they backed his budget bill (they didn't) but said this weekend that he would act with "strength and proportion" against any attempt by Catalan separatists to repeat their 2017 push for independence, Reuters reported.
Spain experienced a banking crisis following the 2007/2008 global financial crisis, prompted largely by the bursting of a property and construction bubble in the country. The economy recovered in recent years, however, and economic reforms made under the previous PP administration (which collapsed in 2018 due to a corruption scandal and a no-confidence vote that ousted the PP's Mariano Rajoy) to make Spain more competitive were praised.
In its latest winter forecasts, the European Commission predicted a slight slowdown in gross domestic product (GDP) growth of 2.1 percent in 2019 and 1.9 percent in 2020. A slowdown was envisaged because of a predicted decline in private consumption, the commission noted, and risks posed by a more uncertain global economic outlook.
Noting that Spain's economic fundamentals are "robust," Economy Minister Calvino told CNBC that the Socialists aim to maintain reform efforts and to attract investment.
She did not believe a minority or coalition government would not be abnormal, in any case.
"Spanish society has shown to be very stable and I think this gives a good framework for any investor to bet on Spain," she said. How the next government approaches or maintains reform efforts is vital, according to one economist who is a member of the Popular Party.
"The key thing here is whether the (new) coalition … is going to support growth or it's going back to the policies of 2008," Daniel LaCalle, a chief economist at Tressis Gastion and an economic spokesman and candidate for the PP – the party that was in power up to June 2018 – told CNBC last week.
He added that the economic recovery in Spain was thanks to "very important reforms" made by the previous PP administration.
"Those reforms have been absolutely crucial to letting the country go from absolute devastation –there were more than 3000 jobs being lost a day at the peak of the crisis – to getting the country back on track," he told CNBC's Squawk Box Europe.

Q: CSS image replacement without pop-in preserving transformations brothers and sisters in code! I'm trying to change the background of an element on a hover state but I'm having issues with pop-in on the hover.  I'm curious as to how I might pre-load the hover state version of this image in the background specifically using jquery, maybe using .load.
I have taken a look at the usual solutions given for this problem and the go to answer seems to be sprites. However, I'm doing some css animations and transforms that I'm satisfied with and can't easily think of a way to do so with sprites--maybe you can.
So, it would be a big help to have some guidance on one of these methods (or another more ingenious one).  Below is my code, a jsfiddle, and the makings of a sprite for good measure. Thank you all very much!
http://jsfiddle.net/3RMZB/
HTML
<div id="header-wrap">
    <header class="header" id="header" role="banner">
    </header>
</div>

CSS
#header {
background-image: url("http://edgarbounds.net/sites/default/files/header-low-color-clear.png");
transition: 0.5s;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: top left;
width: 700px;
height: 300px;
}

#header-wrap:hover #header {
background-image: url("http://edgarbounds.net/sites/default/files/header-full-color-clear.png");
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: top right;
width: 700px;
-webkit-transform: rotateX( -7deg ) rotateY( -5deg );
-moz-transform: rotateX( -7deg ) rotateY( -5deg );
-o-transform: rotateX(-7deg ) rotateY( -5deg );

-moz-transition-duration: .3s;
transition-duration: .3s;
-webkit-transition-delay: .1s;
-moz-transition-delay: .1s;
transition-delay: .1s;
}

Sprite

A: Preferred method - Sprites
Because of the transitions, the hover on #header needs to be separated from that of #header-wrap unless you actually want the cool image scroll effect.
What you want
What you could have
What I would do if I were you for coolness
CSS (what you want)
#header {
    background-image: url("http://i.stack.imgur.com/Xbryi.png");
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    background-position: top left;
    width: 700px;
    height: 300px;
}
#header:hover {
    background-position: top right;
}
#header-wrap, #header-wrap:hover {
    -webkit-transition-duration: .3s;
    -moz-transition-duration: .3s;
    transition-duration: .3s;
    -webkit-transition-delay: .1s;
    -moz-transition-delay: .1s;
    transition-delay: .1s;
}
#header-wrap:hover {
    -webkit-transform: rotateX(-7deg) rotateY(-5deg);
    -moz-transform: rotateX(-7deg) rotateY(-5deg);
    -o-transform: rotateX(-7deg) rotateY(-5deg);
    transform: rotateX(-7deg) rotateY(-5 deg);
    -webkit-transform-origin: center center;
    -moz-transform-origin: center center;
    transform-origin: center center;
}

Other options
Option 1:
Just put both bg-images in the default state, making sure the non-active one is first so it gets over-ridden.  They will both be loaded and only the normal one will show at first.  Then when you hover, it goes for the cached image.
Fiddle example
CSS
#header {
    background-image: url("http://edgarbounds.net/sites/default/files/header-full-color-clear.png");
    background-image: url("http://edgarbounds.net/sites/default/files/header-low-color-clear.png");
...
}
#header-wrap:hover #header {
    background-image: url("http://edgarbounds.net/sites/default/files/header-full-color-clear.png");
...
}

Option 2:
Use opacity instead of two different files.
Different fiddle example
CSS
#header {
    background-image: url("http://edgarbounds.net/sites/default/files/header-full-color-clear.png");
    opacity: .25;
...
#header-wrap:hover #header {
    opacity: 1;
...
}

A: @Deryck had the right idea with "Option 1" -- load both images in the default state -- but the wrong way of executing it.  If you over-write the background image declaration, you're telling the browser not to use the previous image, so it doesn't download.
What you can do is use layered backgrounds to load both background images in the default state, with the coloured version hidden behind the desaturated one.  It wouldn't work if the two images didn't line up perfectly, but they do, so this should be what you want.
http://jsfiddle.net/3RMZB/1/
#header {
background-image:
   url("http://edgarbounds.net/sites/default/files/header-low-color-clear.png"),

Tirpitz: The Life and Death of Germany's Last Great Battleship
Daniel Knowles
Referred to by Winston Churchill as `the Beast', `Tirpitz' was Germany's last great battleship and was one of the largest and heaviest battleships ever constructed by a European navy. Sister ship to the infamous `Bismarck', `Tirpitz' may be referred to as `the Lonely Queen of the North'. Laid down in 1936 and commissioned in 1941, `Tirpitz' spent most of her operational life lurking as a `fleet in being' amongst the fjords of Norway. Such was the threat posed to the sea lanes, and with that the Allied war effort, and so obsessed was Churchill and the Admiralty with her destruction that twenty-four operations, ranging from the foolhardy to the ridiculous were undertaken against her. It was in November 1944 that the `Tirpitz' was finally sunk, not by the Royal Navy, but by the aircraft of RAF Bomber Command. Using a variety of sources this book begins by looking at the military and political situation in Germany that led to the decision to build the `Tirpitz' before going on to analyse the life and death of Germany's last great battleship.

For almost 50 years, the Irish Channel neighborhood has celebrated St. Patrick's Day with a big block party. But organizers say the day is about so much more than wearing green and drinking beer.

The day also serves as a family reunion of sorts for all the people who went to school or grew up in the channel."We all went to St. Alphonsus because we lived up a ways. But you walked to school. When you walked to school you knew everybody's house that they lived in therefore you know their aunt, their uncle, their sister, their brother, their cousin. That's the way everybody was back in the neighborhood," said Dick Burke, President of the Irish Channel St. Patrick's Day Club."What you have here is people from old times in the Irish Channel.

As a young man, John Mabie, decided that he should "give back" through some type of charity work. At that time he was working for his father, William Mabie. William Mabie had recently received a letter that he forwarded to John. It was the Brain Research Foundation's annual appeal letter, the Fay/Frank Year-End Letter.
The letter told of the families similar tragedies – daughters that were afflicted with epilepsy. The letter was very personal and had such great impact on John that he asked his father to contact Bill Fay on his behalf.
John met with Bill Fay to express his willingness to help, but explained his lack of financial capability. John joined the BRF Board in 1960 and has been active ever since, donating time and financial support.
In the 60s, the BRF adopted the phrase, "No family left untouched." Now this phrase is so appropriate, with studies showing that approximately 1 out of 5 Americans suffer from a neurological disorder. When John became involved with the BRF his family was "untouched," but in July 1984, his involvement took a personal turn. His father died of Parkinson's disease at the age of 82.

Q: ImageView coming out of parentLayout (RelativeLayout) I have an imageView inside a Framelayout and that FrameLayout is inside a RelativeLayout. I am loading the image in the imageView using Glide. But instead of the image getting inside the parent its coming outside of the parentLayout(RelativeLayout). Here is the screenshot of the layout.

As you can see the black frame is the parentlayout (RelativeLayout). Image is coming out of the layout. Here is the xml code of the layout.

Please tell me where is the problem.

A: The bounds of your Relative Layout include the borders of the black frame. The image is within the bounds of the RelativeLayout. If you want it to be within the black frame, you should apply padding to all sides of the ImageView. How much padding will have to be determined by trial and error, and will be different for different mobile screen sizes.


It's pretty amazing where they'll take mules in the great little country of Nepal. Necessity makes people creative. Just after you've struggled up this snowy ridge, through adverse weather and approach a 5,000m+ pass, or just when you get the feeling you've entered a remote wilderness, the familiar sound of a mule's bell reaches your ears. As you turned around, still gasping for air, you stare in amazement as an entire pack of the fully-loaded animals casually walks past you towards increasingly difficult terrain. This particular image was taken on the way to Dhaulagiri Base Camp. The mountain itself is barely visible at the back, partly hidden by beautiful, symmetrical Tukuche Peak. Thanks for my favourite card game "Killer Bunnies" for this clever title.

Initialed notices were written by members of the editorial staff.
Since its exciting discovery in 1911 by Bingham, Machu Picchu and its splendor have been the subject of a good deal of writing, due largely to the effective unity between its natural setting of cloud-covered granite peaks rising above the Río Urubamba and magnificent artificial landscape of orderly agricultural terraces and standing structures, many in the superb Inca Cuzco masonry style. The most controversial aspect of Machu Picchu has been its function. Bingham considered it the legendary Vilcabamba, the last and long-lost Inca refuge, although subsequent documentary analyses and field explorations indicate that the site of Espíritu Pampa located lower in the jungle is more likely to have been Vilcabamba. Current excavations at Machu Picchu clearly show colonial occupation, a point Bingham explained away as insignificant because of his convictions about Vilcabamba. We now know that ceremonial and religious considerations played a critical role in Inca settlement shape and location, and that Machu Picchu may have been an important centro sagrado, as L. Valcárcel has argued. The book has definite historical value, as well as detailed architectural/artifactual data and a fascinating account of the discovery of Machu Picchu.

Lina Cavalieri (Viterbo, Italy: 25 Dec 1874 - Fiesol, Italy: 7 Feb 1944)
Lina Cavalieri's Beauty Secrets After her retirement from the opera stage, Cavalieri managed her cosmetic salons in Paris. She was undoubtedly asked many times to offer her beauty hints for publication. In 1914 she published "My Secrets of Beauty," which offered "More than 1,000 Valuable Recipes for Preparations Used and Recommended by Mme. Cavalieri Herself." Earlier in 1911 Cavalieri contributed her beauty tips to the Femina magazine in Paris, which resulted in a lengthy and interesting testament to the time and thought she must have put into her own personal care. The goddess Hygeia would be pleased with Cavalieri's sensible recommendations of ample amounts of fruits, fresh air, exercise, and rest. Her bathing regimens, however, are questionable. Her bath water was mixed with table salt, glycerine, extract of violets, and aromatic vinegar that she would mix constantly in the water to ward off neuralgia or rheumatism. She would rub her body vigorously with a bath brush and lavender and then rinse in cold water to close her pores! Cavalieri's other beauty suggestions included massaging the nose frequently to keep it in shape, bathing the eyes in an eyecup of rose water to keep them brilliant, washing the face in the warmest water that can be tolerated, using warm compresses to prevent wrinkles and redness, washing the hair once a week, and sleeping with the head low to avoid developing a double chin. Cavalieri's most bizarre beauty concoction was her own cold cream mixture, which consisted of bee's wax, spermaceti, rose water, rose oil, and oil of almond, blended in a double boiler with a wooden spoon. Cavalieri would apply the cream to her entire body while sitting in front of a mirror where she could search, "without pity" for wrinkles, and if found she would massage the area for ten minutes. After the cream was absorbed into her pores, she would wipe off any excess grease. In 1911 when the best indoor lighting was provided by the sun, she would powder her body and then stand in front of a window with a hand mirror for a final inspection! In the years I've been collecting opera postcards I've noticed that three singers had an enormous number of postcards dedicated to their images. While Geraldine Farrar and Feodor Chaliapin postcards mostly show them in operatic roles, the image of Lina Cavalieri was used in the most diverse and unusual ways. No other opera singer can claim such popularity on the picture postcard. Note the postcard to the immediate left. This is a postcard that can be mailed within a postcard box. Both the postcard and the box have a typical postcard back. The image of Cavalieri has real hair glued to it. Is the hair Cavalieri's? Did a fan abscond with her salon-trimmed tresses?

The original plan for the night was to go to the Noodle Markets in Hyde Park, and then head off to the Monet Exhibition at the Art Gallery of NSW.
Late this afternoon I asked a bloke who knows about the weather for his advice. "To be honest", he said, "I'd just go to the gallery if I were you, as it's gonna be pretty cold and windy in Hyde Park". He was right.
And so that's what we did. I met Damo at about six o'clock at the gallery where we had a bite to eat before heading off to the Monet Exhibition. Dinner at the gallery $10-13 is excellent value by the way.
I really love going to the gallery on a Wednesday night, by the way, as they have tours, talks, live music, and meals, and it's all incredibly convenient for those of us who work 9-5, and who sometimes don't have the time on the weekends to attend exhibitions.
Tonight we chose to do an exhibition tour. The first tour guide was excellent, though unfortunately there were far too many people doing the tour. And so after half an hour or so, we dropped back and joined the second tour which was far less crowded.
In between changing tour guides I said to Damo… "Did you work out how he went from poverty to wealth?". His reply was simple… "Lotto?". Hahaha.
Seriously though, it was really terrific to walk around the exhibition and to enjoy the work with informed commentary. It was great to learn about how significant and radically different the work of The Impressionists was. And it was great to learn about the significant changes in Monet's work that occured throughout his long career.
By and large the exhibition has a lot of really great works, though Damo did comment at one point, "I saw a better one at Musee D'Orsay".
Afterwards we had a glass of wine (or three) in Martin Place, ahead of heading back home to escape the cold wet, weather. Bloody weather.


Memorial Hospital of Union County will start construction this fall on a $7.5-million project that will include a new medical office building at 120 Coleman's Crossing Blvd.
The 35,000-square-foot, two-story building will be developed by the Pizzuti Companies. It will house the hospital's urgent care, imaging, physical therapy and sports medicine services, the Marysville Orthopedics and Sports Medicine practice, and provide space for advanced performance training offered by Memorial's Elevate Sports Medicine.
According to information from the hospital, its urgent care facility opened in 2006 and continues to experience significant growth, which is what prompted development of the new building.
The Aug. 1 announcement came a little more than a month after Nationwide Children's Hospital received approval from the Marysville Design Review Board for its conceptual renderings for a Close to Home Center with Urgent Care facility.
While the two projects are not related, both facilities will be built in the City Gate area.
Nationwide Children's Hospital's Close to Home Center at 100 Coleman's Crossing Blvd. is a $4.6-million project. It is a 20,800-square-foot facility planned for 2.4 acres. It is expected to create 40 new jobs, accompanied by an investment of approximately $6 million in capital for the building, with about $2 million annually in salaries and benefits.
Memorial Hospital officials said they do not yet have job projections for their new medical office building. Plans are to open in the fall of 2014.
Nationwide plans to break ground within the next two weeks and open in the spring of 2014.
Melanie Ziegler, director of marketing, public relations and development for Memorial Hospital, said the City Gate area has been on the hospital's radar for quite some time.
Pam Barber, director of media relations for Nationwide Children's Hospital, said officials there were not aware of MHUC's plans when the Marysville site was acquired last year.
Memorial's facility design is led by Bill Andrews of Andrews Architect, who has designed other medical facilities in central Ohio. Pizutti will handle construction, according to Ziegler.
Nationwide's design-build project team is led by Thomas & Marker Construction; the consulting engineering firm Karpinski Engineering provided professional design services.
City Gate was built by local developer Connolly Construction Co. with sites for retail, commercial and medical use.
"Memorial Hospital's decision to locate in the development is a great fit and affirms both organizations' desire to improve life for all people in the community," said Phillip Connolly, Connolly Construction Co. president.
Marysville Mayor John Gore sees Memorial Hospital's new building as more growth for the city.
"We are excited that the city's second-largest employer is able to expand as well as continue to provide quality health care to our community," Gore said.


Gabba Gabba Hey! Spotted these puppies at Action Footwear my most favorite shoe shop when you have kids. The memories came flooding back. The Ramones, small clubs on Sunset…sigh. Makes me wanna spike my hair and tint it purple again.
Then my middle child reminded me those are "old school". Damn I hate it when they remind me I am getting old! The only thing worse is hearing the songs from high-school relegated to being muzak at the grocery store. Youth is highly over rated. Snarky kid wants texting after that?

Clinical Trial Begins for Cystic Fibrosis Therapy
Oct 17, 2017 | Cystic fibrosis |
Synspira has begun a Phase 1a first-in-human, multicenter study of SNSP113, its lead drug candidate, in development for use in pulmonary complications of cystic fibrosis (CF). SNSP113 has the potential to improve pulmonary function by reducing the viability of recalcitrant infectious bacteria, reducing inflammation, and facilitating clearance of associated biofilms and mucus.
"SNSP113 is the first clinical candidate from a new class of drugs that have the potential to transform the treatment of pulmonary diseases including cystic fibrosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and pneumonia," said Shenda Baker, PhD, CEO of Synspira. "By simultaneously reducing infections, inflammation and the build-up of mucus and biofilms associated with cystic fibrosis, we believe SNSP113 could improve outcomes for patients. The initiation of our first clinical trial represents a major milestone for Synspira and a significant step forward toward improving the lives of CF patients."
The Phase 1a first-in-human trial will assess the safety and tolerability of single ascending doses in healthy individuals and will advance into stable CF patients in 2018.
Pre-clinical studies suggest that SNSP113 has the potential to target significant infections in cystic fibrosis, including those driven by Burkholderia and non-tuberculous Mycobacterium for which there are currently no approved therapeutic treatments. Recurring pulmonary infection and inflammation result in permanent lung damage and can eventually lead to pulmonary failure.
"By targeting biofilms and mucus buildup in the lungs and allowing for the potentiation of antibiotics, SNSP113 has the potential to be effective across a wide range of pulmonary complications in CF patients," said Dr Steven M Rowe, Director of the Gregory Fleming James Cystic Fibrosis Research Center at the University of Alabama, Birmingham. "If effective, this treatment could change the progression of this life-shortening disease and improve the lives of people living with cystic fibrosis."

TimeZone : Lifestyle & Entertainment » A visit to Hong Kong.
I spent a few days in Hong Kong last week, and thought I'd share some pictures. The weather couldn't be better - mostly cool and breezy, perfect for all day outside without breaking a sweat.
Inevitably one has to deal with the crowded but efficient MTR, especially during rush hour.
But within minutes, I'm at the ferry terminal and arrived at Lamma Island, one many small islands dotted around Hong Kong. There is an expatriate community that lives amongst the locals on the island, for the slower pace of life, and it's a just 20 minute ferry ride to HK's Central CBD. There are no vehicles on the island, so everyone walks or cycles.
One can hike from the main northern port to the fishing village on the southern part of Lamma Island, where you can grab a seafood meal, browse the shops then catch another ferry back to HK.
I still don't know what this is. Since this is HK, I'm going to say it's something that will eventually be edible.
I decided to wander around the Central - Wanchai - Causeway Bay corridor filled with modern commercial buildings, high fashion boutiques, shops, restaurants, mixed with the old and traditional.
Again, join the crowded MTR.
Causeway Bay on a Saturday afternoon. This is the equivalent of Times Square in NYC I suppose. Just people everywhere.
My Abbey Road album cover attempt.
Chinese chess in the middle of the street.
Amidst all the activity, he managed to sleep through it all, atop his vending cart.
A couple of streets off the main thoroughway, and I wandered through a fresh produce market.
The seller was grabbing live fish from a box on her left, and tossing it onto the front tray, and I'm watching it gasp and die in front of customers.
Most of the older buildings seem to be poorly maintained. Unclear to me if that's despite or because of astronomical property prices.
At least this building got a distinctive coat of paint. Really not many such.
Good to see that in the midst of all the city life, there are kids out there playing sport.
Against the backdrop of modern high rise apartments, is the Man Mo Temple in Sheung Wan district.
Hong Kong terrain is a lot of hills and mountains. As I understand it, during the British rule, the majority of the area was designated for conservation, which concentrated the population into a relatively small area.
A view of modern buildings, including one featuring a huge monkey climbing up the side.
Yours truly taking a breather in one of the many alleyways.
Some evening shots in Central district.
Early another morning, I hiked the trail known as Dragon's Back (30 minutes by public transport to the starting point). I would consider it moderate, about 9km long, doable in under 2.5 hours, once you get past the first 20 excruciating minutes of climbing.
It's quite a popular trail, walked by locals and visitors alike. While I tried not to turn my ankle on loose rocks, the more seasoned pros just whoosh by me on their morning runs. The trail ends at Big Wave Bay, where you can strip down and surf or swim, or in my case, enjoy rather expensive burgers and fresh coconut water with my partner at the beach kiosk.
Sorry the post is so long. Nearing the end, I promise. At the waterfront in Kennedy Town district, on a Sunday afternoon. The locals try their luck, while tourists take it the bleak view. Across the harbour is Kowloon.
I have no idea what these gals are doing. Must be a new millenium generational thing.
Couple of late night city shots (cellphone quality) from my hotel rooftop.
On my final day, I visited Lantau Island. Lantau was developed in the last two decades or so, with Disneyland and the HK Airport located there. It has also been developed as a centre for Buddhism. After getting off the train, one takes a cable car ride, and what a ride. It soars over the hills and valleys, affording a magnificent view all around, before landing at a village centre, a short walk away to the big Buddha and other Buddhist attractions.
In the background is Sunset Peak. I had intended to hike that (around 900m), but thought better of it, as I was unprepared. Next visit then.
Parting shot. I miss the good old days when you were allowed to talk to the driver.
I've been to Hong Kong countless times. But it's been at least 10 years since my last visit, and I had forgotten how enjoyable it is to visit. It's only a four hour flight from Singapore. Next trip I will attempt to hike a couple more trails, visit more neighbourhoods and more outer islands. Hope you enjoyed these pictures.
P.S. Nice photo of you.
We love Hong Kong and were blown away by everything you show and so much more! But we've never been more enthralled with any view than we were when we opened the drapes in our top floor room on the Kowloon side the night we got there and saw this. We even forgot all about jet lag.
There is no pleasure worth forgoing for an extra three years in the geriatric ward.
...a couple of months it's 60 years since I spent a short time at RAF Kai Tak but you brought back a few memories.
Could that be bok choy drying? Num num.
I don't know what you call this, with the shroud. Model number SRP655.
Thanks for that shot! Great views.

Whoever said if you stare at a blank screen long enough you'll find something to write about lied.
My screen isn't blank anymore, but I feel like my brain is.
I had an idea for a football-themed series, but football season doesn't start for weeks.
Weeks of staring at a blank screen.
That reminds me to thank CBS for renewing it for three years so I'll have something to watch besides my blank screen.
Well, I guess they told the truth after all.

Bo Nickal is a bad man. He moved up a weight class in 2019, and just went 30-0 en route to his third NCAA championship. Nickal's dominance was on display all year, with 18 pins and 27 bonus-point victories. He is by far the odds-on favorite to win the Hodge Trophy recognizing the nation's best collegiate wrestler. In fact, his only real Hodge competition is teammate and fellow three-time champion Jason Nolf.
Just like Nolf, there aren't a whole lot of things you can say that appropriately contextualize Nickal's career. He is a transcendent talent and will more than likely make his mark on the international stage with an unlimited bag of tricks and sublime instincts. Nickal joins Ed Ruth, Zain Retherford, and Nolf as three-time NCAA champions for the Nittany Lions, who just captured their eighth team title in nine years.
