Dominica recently welcomed a new real estate business franchise to the market, which is described as one of the highest ranking of its kind in the United States.
Local director/owner of RE/MAX Alistair Grell said the franchise started out as an architectural engineering consultant firm and is now in the process of expanding into real estate.
"RE/MAX is actually the number one in the States … We actually are in the consulting business at the moment … we do a number of various architectural engineering consulting projects and we want to expand our business into real estate," he explained to Dominica News Online.
The story of RE/MAX begins with the company's name, which is short for "real estate maximums." It was founded in Denver in 1973 by Dave Liniger, who is still chairman of the board, and his wife Gail; the company began with a mission to offer higher real estate commissions to real estate agents at a time when real estate companies kept as much as half of each sale for themselves.
RE/MAX has been franchising since 1973, one year after rival Century 21 started doing so. Today, RE/MAX claims 115,000 real estate agents in its international network of 65 countries.
Apart from the media launch, Grell said a website will be launched for the local branch of the business. He said the business facilitates the purchase of lands for its clients, and the fact that they can advise clients about the suitability of location, among other aspects is an extra selling point of the company.
RE/MAX entrance locally could make the market quite competitive for Century 21- also an American franchise which was launched here this year.
According to Grell, in a recent study of the top real estate companies in America RE/MAX came on top for the amount of estates it sold. "It's a reputable company… it's a company that has a reputation of quality and its credentials are really higher rated … we are really trying to offer the people of Dominica not only working with a reputable company, but the fact that they would be able to work with a company that has a thrust," he noted.
RE/MAX is like a one-stop shop in the real estate industry, Grell boasts. Clients will get a little more comfort, as the business aims to ensure that their clients get the right piece of land, which RE/MAX can also develop, Grell assured.
"Over the last five years if you look at areas for instance in the north like Portsmouth and north east like Calibishie and Wesley land prices in that area have more than doubled. Five years ago I remember near Ross University you could get land for eight, ten dollars a square foot, now land is being sold for ten dollars US," he justified in response to a question whether Dominica has a lucrative market for real estate.
"Dominica is very young in terms of the real estate business … other islands like Barbados and Antigua there are quite a greater number of real estate business there and if you look at the percentage of land sold there it is much higher," the businessman explained.
Nonetheless, he recognized land prices have skyrocketed since there is a great demand for it, and people are definitely looking for land to buy. "Now there is KFC and all these other businesses [in Portsmouth], so I think the future looks bright and I believe that there are certainly areas that are growing faster than others, but generally if we use Portsmouth as an example there is a potential," he added.
While there are a number of real estate companies and agents here, RE/MAX is not looking to take over the real estate business in Dominica, Grell clarified.
"A number of clients come to us when things go wrong … we feel it's worthwhile but I do believe that we have a valuable service to offer and I think others could learn with us, work with us and we work with them in providing a better quality service that is available," the businessman noted.
The purpose of this feature is to showcase businesses in Dominica to the local and international market, so readers can know a little bit more about their products, services and history. This is also a way of helping businesses in Dominica to strengthen the image of their product and boost sales.
How do I get my business featured?
AND JUST HAVE LAND LYING AROUND DOING NOTHING, RIGHT? LIKE ALL THOSE PEOPLE THAT GO OVERSEAS AND JUST HAVE THEIR LAND THERE, SAYING IS FOR THEIR CHILDREN. WHEN YOU DO CHECK, THOSE SAME CHILDREN LIVING OVERSEAS WITH THEM.
IF YOU DON'T WANT IT, YOU SHOULD SELL IT. DOMINICANS DONT WANT DOMINICA ANYWAY..
Dominicans hold on to your property and will it for your children. The neo-colonialists are trying to recolonise the islands. They always want to buy land and property by the seashore, rivers, waterfall and springs, etc. Dominica take care one day you wake up and find that Dominica is mostly owned by foreigners!!
I have nothing against foreigners and investments but we must be careful not to sell our birth right.
George Bush has a point but he must join the World.
We live in a free world, so that all the world can be bought & sold by anyone with money and other resources.
No one is going to hold Dominica in tin Foil for any of us.
So we will have to develop ourselves to enter this highly competetive world. educate ourselves. learn about business. Learn about marketing. Learn how develop our Island's resources.
Gather our skills to use our resources wisely. Become businessmen & entrepeneures,. then we will be able to keep Dominica for our Children & Grand-children.
I congratulate the new business Remax on entering Dominica.
I hope that it will ensure quality service, efficiency, honest business practice, and good returns on investments.
I look forward to Dominicans buying & investing in their Island..
Dominican's don't even know it but soon enough the little will not be able to buy a piece of land in his own country. They will give eight beeds and two mirrors for the entire island and we will accept.
Where can I apply to be an agent?

"Experiments on the Development of Chick and Duck Embryos, Cultivated in vitro" (1932), by Conrad Hal Waddington
Conrad Hal Waddington's "Experiments on the Development of Chick and Duck Embryos, Cultivated in vitro," published in 1932 in Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London, Series B, compares the differences in the development of birds and amphibians. Previous experiments focused on the self differentiation of individual tissues in birds, but Waddington wanted to study induction in greater detail. The limit to these studies had been the amount of time an embryo could be successfully cultivated ex vivo.
Trisomy 18 (Edwards Syndrome)
John Hilton Edwards first described the symptoms of the genetic disorder known as Trisomy 18 - one of the most common forms of trisomy, which occurs when cells have an extra copy of a chromosome, in humans - in 1960. Trisomy 18, also known as Edwards Syndrome, occurs approximately once per 6000 live births and is second in frequency only to Trisomy 21, or Down's Syndrome, as an autosomal trisomy. Trisomy 18 causes substantial developmental problems in utero.

The Jackson Laboratory
The Roscoe B. Jackson Laboratory, known commonly in the scientific field as the Jackson Laboratory, was founded by Clarence Cook Little in May 1929. The lab has been pivotal in research with in vitro fertilization, teratomas, gene replacement therapy for birth defects, and more because its researchers have focused from the beginning on developing the mouse as a model organism. Mice were chosen by researchers at Jackson as the best available model for genetic research, and today genetically uniform strains of mice developed at the lab are used in laboratories all over the world.

Epidermal growth factor is a signaling molecule that stimulates the growth of epidermal tissues during development and throughout life. Stanley Cohen discovered epidermal growth factor (EGF) during studies of nerve growth factor as a side effect of other experiments. EGF stimulates tissue growth by initiating a variety of cellular mechanisms. This work led to the 1986 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine awarded to Cohen and Rita Levi-Montalcini.
Historically the exact age of human embryo specimens has long perplexed embryologists. With the menstrual history of the mother often unknown or not exact, and the premenstrual and postmenstrual phases varying considerably among women, age sometimes came down to a best guess based on the weight and size of the embryo. Wilhelm His was one of the first to write comparative descriptions of human embryos in the late 1800s. Soon afterward, Franklin P. Mall, the first director of the Carnegie Institution of Washington's (CIW) Department of Embryology, expanded upon His' work.
Sperm Capacitation
Sperm capacitation refers to the physiological changes spermatozoa must undergo in order to have the ability to penetrate and fertilize an egg. This term was first coined in 1952 by Colin Russell Austin based on independent studies conducted by both Austin himself as well as Min Chueh Chang in 1951. Since the initial reports and emergence of the term, the details of the process have been more clearly elucidated due to technological advancements.
The Human Genome Project (1990-2003)
The Human Genome Project (HGP) was an international scientific effort to sequence the entire human genome, that is, to produce a map of the base pairs of DNA in the human chromosomes, most of which do not vary among individuals. The HGP started in the US in 1990 as a public effort and included scientists and laboratories located in France, Germany, Japan, China, and the United Kingdom.
"Genetic Control of Biochemical Reactions in Neurospora" (1941), by George W. Beadle and Edward L. Tatum
George Wells Beadle and Edward Lawrie Tatum's 1941 article Genetic Control of Biochemical Reactions in Neurospora detailed their experiments on how genes regulated chemical reactions, and how the chemical reactions in turn affected development in the organism. Beadle and Tatum experimented on Neurospora, a type of bread mold, and they concluded that mutations to genes affected the enzymes of organisms, a result that biologists later generalized to proteins, not just enzymes.
Martin Couney and Incubator Exhibits from 1896 to 1943
During the late 1800s and early 1900s, physician Martin Couney held incubator exhibits to demonstrate the efficacy of infant incubators throughout the US and
Europe. At his exhibits, Couney demonstrated that isolating premature infants in an incubator ward
could significantly decrease premature infant mortality and increased the use of incubators in the

Karl Freiherr von Rokitansky (1804–1878)
During the nineteenth century, Karl Freiherr von Rokitansky conducted research on the causes of disease by performing approximately 30,000 autopsies, a practice that many people opposed at the time. Rokitansky performed his research in pathology, or the study of disease, and morbid anatomy, or the study of dead bodies, in Vienna, then part of the Austrian Empire and later part of Austria.
The Development of Mifepristone for Use in Medication Abortions
In the 1980s, researchers at the pharmaceutical company Roussel-Uclaf in Paris, France, helped develop a biological compound called mifepristone. When a woman takes it, mifepristone interferes with the function of hormones involved in pregnancy and it can therefore be used to terminate pregnancies. In 2000, the US Food and Drug Administration approved mifepristone, also called RU 486, as part of a treatment to induce abortions using drugs instead of surgery, a method called medication abortion.

Interspecies SCNT-derived Humanesque Blastocysts
Since the 1950s, scientists have developed interspecies blastocysts in laboratory settings, but not until the 1990s did proposals emerge to engineer interspecies blastocysts that contained human genetic or cellular material. Even if these embryos were not permitted to mature to fetal stages, their ethical and political status became debated within nations attempting to use them for research.
ABO Blood Type Identification and Forensic Science (1900-1960)
The use of blood in forensic analysis is a method for identifying individuals suspected of committing some kinds of crimes. Paul Uhlenhuth and Karl Landsteiner, two scientists working separately in Germany in the early twentieth century, showed that there are differences in blood between individuals. Uhlenhuth developed a technique to identify the existence of antibodies, and Landsteiner and his students showed that humans had distinctly different blood types called A, B, AB, and O.

Etienne Stephane Tarnier (1828–1897)
Etienne Stephane Tarnier was a physician who worked with premature infants in France during the nineteenth century. He worked at the Maternité Port-Royal in
Paris, France, a hospital for poor pregnant women. Tarnier developed and introduced prototypes of
infant incubators to the Maternité in 1881. Tarnier's incubators became standard in neonatal care,
especially for premature infants, enabling doctors to save many such infants that previously would
have died.
Truman William Brophy (1848–1928)
Truman William Brophy developed a cleft palate surgical repair, later called the Brophy Operation, in the late nineteenth century US. The procedure improved facial aesthetics and speech in cleft palate patients. A cleft palate occurs during development when the palatal bones in the roof of the mouth don't completely fuse, leaving an opening, or cleft, in the upper lip and mouth. Brophy's cleft repair used compression inside and outside of the mouth to push the palatal bones into normal alignment shortly after birth.

Golgi Staining Technique
The Golgi staining technique, also called the black reaction after the stain's color, was developed in the 1870s and 1880s in Italy to make brain cells (neurons) visible under the microscope. Camillo Golgi developed the technique while working with nervous tissue, which required Golgi to examine cell structure under the microscope. Golgi improved upon existing methods of staining, enabling scientists to view entire neurons for the first time and changing the way people discussed the development and composition of the brain's cells.

Camillo Golgi (1843–1926)
Camillo Golgi studied the central nervous system during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries in Italy, and he developed a staining technique to visualize brain cells. Called the black reaction, Golgi's staining technique enabled him to see the cellular structure of brain cells, called neurons, with much greater precision. Golgi also used the black reaction to identify structures within animal cells like the internal reticular apparatus that stores, packs, and modifies proteins, later named the Golgi apparatus in his honor.

Percivall Pott was a physician in England during the eighteenth century who identified soot as the cause of chimney sweeps' scrotal cancer, later called testicular cancer. In the 1770s, Pott observed that scrotal cancer commonly afflicted chimney sweeps, the young boys sent up into chimneys to clean away the soot left over from fires, and he hypothesized that the soot inside chimneys might cause that type of cancer. Pott was one of the first doctors to identify some environmental factor as causing cancer.
Management of Myelomeningocele Study Clinical Trial (2003–2010)
From February 2003 to December 2010, researchers of the Management of Myelomeningocele Study, or MOMS, clinical trial compared the safety and efficacy of different treatments for a specific type of spina bifida, called myelomeningocele. Myelomeningocele, the most frequent and severe form of spina bifida, is a condition in which the bony spinal column does not develop correctly, which causes an opening of the spine, exposure of the spinal cord, and formation of a small sac containing cerebrospinal fluid.
Charles Knowlton (1800–1850)
Charles Knowlton was a physician and author who advocated for increased access to information about reproduction in the nineteenth century in the US. Throughout his early medical education, Knowlton was particularly interested in anatomy and on several instances robbed graves for bodies to dissect. In 1832, Knowlton authored The Fruits of Philosophy, a pamphlet that contained detailed descriptions of the reproductive organs and information on conception and methods to control reproduction.

Robert Geoffrey Edwards, a British developmental biologist at University of Cambridge, began exploring human in vitro fertilization (IVF) as a way to treat infertility in 1960. After successfully overcoming the problem of making mammalian oocytes mature in vitro in 1965, Edwards began to experiment with fertilizing matured eggs in vitro. Collaborating with other researchers, Edwards eventually fertilized a human egg in vitro in 1969. This was a huge step towards establishing human IVF as a viable fertility treatment.

Your One Way Express Ticket To Hell, And Back: A Conversation With Wil Francis on Aiden
www.myspace.com/aiden
With their latest, 'Knives,' Aiden was looking to return to the pure energy and raw sound of their debut 'Our Gangs Dark Oath,' something that frontman Wil Francis thinks they have gotten away from. Whether or not they succeeded is something better left up to each individual listener, but more are saying yes to that question than no. 'Knives' is the bands fourth release to date, and first since Francis set off onto his own with his side project William Control.
'Knives' is a staunch return to form for the Seattle punk band, and while out on tour in promotion of it, frontman Francis spent a little bit of his downtime between shows with me to discuss his hatred for in-store performances, how the record came together on the whole and just what the rest of 2009 has in store for the band.
Get eXposed: To promote 'Knives,' I see you're doing a lot of in-store performances. Was that something you wanted to do more of for this record?
Wil Francis: Not really, Im not really a fan of in-stores all that much. I know it is important to get out there and sign stuff for the kids, but I'm not really a fan of playing songs acoustically in a mall. If you want to get out and play a gig, you have to do some things you don't want to do sometimes.
GE: What's the deal with the flyer for your last headlining tour? Who came up with the Elvis/Jesus picture?
WF: I did. I really like Elvis and I really hate religion so when I put the two together I loved it because it was pretty offensive, but whatever, its art.
GE: Tell me about 'Knives.' How was the recording process of that record?
WF: Being the main songwriter for the band, I wrote about 30 songs for the album and then every time I wrote a song or a couple of them I would take them to the guys to see what they thought and to see if they worked with a full band or not. The recording process itself was pretty fierce. We recorded it at my studio and I produced it myself. We literally set up and recorded 15 full songs in seven or eight days. I wanted to approach it as I was in a band in the 80's and we had no budget to buy tape or reel or anything like that. Like we've got one tape reel and we had one shot to record it from beginning to end and what I wanted to do with that is recreate what we do live. You know, a lot of people come up to me all the time and tell me they love our band live and that when we play we're so intense and energetic but that the records lack that enthusiasm. I wanted to try and capture what we do live on 'Knives' since we have never been able to capture that on record yet. For us, normally, everything is on beat and in tune; it's so sterile and produced, but on this record this is how we sound live. It was pretty simple and pretty fierce.
GE: Is it easier for you to just produce yourself, or it is easier to bring someone in to do it?
WF: No, I would much rather produce it myself. In a sense where bands get signed to a bigger label, the label wants that band to produce some hits, so they hire producer who is a known hit maker to come in and write with the bands to try and generate revenue for the label. Normally, a producer will come in and change songs around, but that has never been what Aiden has been about. With Victory Records, they are a label that has always never wanted to compromise an artists' vision by changing anything around on them. That's what I really love about Victory – they let me going and record records that I would want to listen to. In the past technically we haven't produced but I have always shown up to the studio with the arrangements and melodies already done. Basically, our producers in the past have been engineers that have gotten a producing credit because back then I was too naive in the music industry. I never sat back and said, what a minute, I pretty much produced this.
GE: What inspired you to write this record?
WF: First off, I wanted this album to be not a cliff note in the book of William Francis; life. I tried to take myself out of the equation. This is probably the most impersonal record I have ever made in a sense that on all of our records in the past I talk things I have experienced, things that have happened to me, things I see or the way I feel, it's all my personal experience in life. With 'Knives,' I wanted to write it as more of a story teller, not William Francis, the guy from Aiden, more William Francis the story writer and filmmaker. I wrote about things I find interesting and things I hate. 'Crusifiction' is an anti-Christianity song, and it has that type of theme to it, but it's actually about a guy named Roman, the brother of Jesus Christ who comes back to Earth to tell people that everyone in the Western World and Christianity who believe that Jesus was the son of God, are idiots and were all duped. Jesus is his brother and that they are the sons of a prostitute and that they were all duped.
GE: Wow, that's a lot to swallow.
WF: [Laughs] Yeah, all of the songs come from short stories I have written. I'm not only a songwriter but I also write stories and poems, and paint pictures. Im not just a signer in a band; I do a lot of other things that a lot of people just don't know about.
GE: What can we expect from you the rest of the year?
WF: We're going to be on Warped Tour all summer, and then in September we are going to Australia, then beyond that I don't know.

American History » Benjamin Harrison Presidential Site
Benjamin Harrison Presidential Site
The Benjamin Harrison Presidential Site is a beautifully restored and maintained house museum dedicated to celebrating the 23rd US President. There is much to enjoy at this 1870's-era home. Join me today on the Ancestral Findings Podcast and I'll give you what you need to know about the history of the house, as well as the museum and what it offers.
Benjamin Harrison was the twenty-third President of the United States, serving from 1889 to 1893. A grandson of ninth US President William Henry Harrison, Benjamin is part of the only grandfather-grandson presidential duo in US history. His time as President came during a period of great change in the United States. It was not too long after the Civil War and during a period of the westward expansion of the country. He navigated it all with clarity, cleverness, and the delicacy some of it needed, and his time as President is considered by most to be a success.
Today, his old home serves as a historical site that is open to the public to honor him and teach subsequent generations about him. Here is what you need to know about the Benjamin Harrison Presidential Site.
Located in the Old Northside Historic District of Indianapolis, Indiana, the Benjamin Harrison Presidential Site is a stately house that was built in the 1870s. It has sixteen rooms and a red brick exterior. Harrison moved to Indianapolis twenty years before he built the house. When he did so, he constructed it on a double lot he bought at an auction, in what was then the outskirts of town. However, the Harrison family moving there began an exodus of other wealthy families to the north side of town, and it soon became a trendy area. Harrison lived in the house for the rest of his life, with the exception of his term as a US Senator from Indiana from 1881 to 1887 and as US President from 1889 to 1893.
During his presidential campaign, Harrison was well-known for giving campaign speeches to gathered crowds from the front yard of his house. These were later referred to as his "front porch" speeches, even though the front porch on the house was not built until 1896, three years after he left the White House. The same year Harrison built the front porch, he also renovated the house to include the new technology of home-based electricity. He died in the house in 1901 in an upstairs bedroom. The house is owned today by the Arthur Jordan Foundation and is used as a museum dedicated to Benjamin Harrison and his family.
Harrison's widow, Mary Lord Dimmick Harrison, took ownership of the house after Harrison died, but sold it to the Arthur Jordan School of Music in 1939. She did so with the provision that the house would always be used as a memorial to her husband. The school renovated the house and made the second and third floors into dorms for its female students. The first floor was converted into a museum to Harrison. The house became a National Historic Landmark in 1966.
The school, which had been renamed the Arthur Jordan Foundation, renovated the house again in 1974, turning the entire thing into a house museum. The Foundation leases the house to the Benjamin Harrison Foundation (incorporated the year the house became a National Historic Landmark), which allows the group to operate the museum in the house.
The museum is open for tours every day, beginning at 10 am on Mondays through Saturdays and 12 pm on Sundays. It closes at 3:30 pm every day. Ten of the sixteen rooms in the house are open and available for guests to explore. Each of the open rooms is decorated in the Victorian style that was popular when Benjamin Harrison lived there. There are 3,700 pieces of memorabilia in the house that were owned by Benjamin Harrison and his family. There are also 2,440 books in the house, some of which were Harrison family items. An archive for the Daughters of the American Revolution is located there, as well.
The house offers a lot for visitors to see and do. In addition to it being a traditional museum, with the requisite gift shop, it is also home to the truly impressive Candlelight Theater. Candlelight Theater performs authentic plays from the 19th and early 20th centuries, such as Harrison and his family would have seen performed, and the Victorian décor of the house provides a realistic backdrop for these performances. The theater has a season every year and performs a selection of plays at the house each season.
Various special events are held at the house throughout the year, as well. They are always changing, but usually include things like garden parties and holiday celebrations, particularly for the Fourth of July. Civic organizations and philanthropic groups also hold events here for both the public and their members. Checking the website of the house is the best way to find out what events are going on at the house, and when.
There are carefully cultivated gardens around the house that are cared for year-round by nine gardeners, including a Master Gardener. The themes and colors of the gardens change according to each season, and the plants include both flowers and shrubs, as well as trees. There is even a lilac garden on the property, with lilacs that were first cultivated during the time that Benjamin Harrison was US President. Both passersby on the street outside the house and visitors to the museum can enjoy the beauty and a pleasing array of color that the gardens provide.
Space is available at the house for groups to rent for their own, private special events, as well. The Presidential Classroom and the gardens are both available as rental space and provide a beautiful location for both formal and casual events of all kinds.
In addition, the museum has permanent exhibits that are particular to the house, and rotating exhibits that are on loan from other locations. The rotating exhibits are usually themed to fit in with the time period of the house, or with the theme of US politics or presidents.
The Benjamin Harrison Presidential Site is a wonderful and beautiful place to visit for those who are interested in presidential history, those who love gorgeous old houses, and those who enjoy any type of museum.

Landfill operations to halt as pressure increases to search for women's remains
Written by Brittany Hobson, The Canadian Press Friday, Dec 09 2022, 5:18 AM
Kyra Wilson, chief of Long Plain First Nation, speaks during the Assembly of First Nations Special Chiefs Assembly in Ottawa, on Wednesday, Dec. 7, 2022. THE CANADIAN PRESSSpencer Colby
Garbage disposal at a landfill outside Winnipeg was paused Thursday as calls to search the area for the remains of two Indigenous women believed to be the victims of an alleged serial killer intensified.
Premier Heather Stefanson said the management of the Prairie Green landfill, a privately owned dump north of the city, has halted operations as the province and the city figure out what to do.
"It's very important that we take this pause and we get it right," she said.
"We need to assess the site. We need to do many different things over the course of the next little while. In the meantime, all we're calling for right now is a pause."
Some of those next steps will include working with Indigenous communities, said Winnipeg Mayor Scott Gillingham.
"We in no way want to jeopardize that case. But it's important that ... the Indigenous community and Indigenous leaders help inform next steps as well."
Police Chief Danny Smyth said this week that it's believed the remains of Morgan Harris and Marcedes Myran ended up in a landfill outside the city in the spring. He said the chances of finding them are very low.
Smyth cited the passage of time, the fact that 10,000 truckloads of refuse were dumped in the area in the following months, and that trash at the landfill is compacted with heavy mud at a depth of about 12 metres.
He acknowledged the families' pain and anger and said this was not how he wanted the searches to end.
First Nations leaders in Manitoba are calling for him to resign.
Long Plain First Nation Chief Kyra Wilson said failing to search for the women's remains does not instil a sense of public safety in the community. She said Smyth should step down immediately so action can be taken to search the landfill.
"The message you are sending to the greater community is that Indigenous don't matter," Wilson said during a press conference Thursday in Ottawa. "That if somebody wants to hurt our women that they can dump them in the landfill and no one will look for them."
Harris's family has joined in the call for Smyth to resign.
Kera Harris said she is fed up with police inaction in finding her mother's remains. She added that if Smyth can't get the search done, he should step down and give someone else the opportunity to provide the family with an appropriate resolution.
"We are all trying to reach a reasonable compromise, but we have yet to receive words of acknowledgment, response nor agreements," she said. "Not only have you refused to search these landfills, you have presented no alternative routes for how we can give these women peace."
Jeremy Skibicki is charged with first-degree murder in the deaths of Harris, Myran, Rebecca Contois and a fourth unidentified woman that Indigenous leaders have called Buffalo Woman.
Police believe the women were killed in the spring, although investigators have so far only located Contois's body.
Her partial remains were found in a garbage bin in the city and in a separate landfill in the spring.
Wilson was also joined by several other First Nations leaders in Manitoba in calling for Smyth's resignation.
Grand Chief Jerry Daniels of the Southern Chiefs' Organization in Manitoba recommended shutting down the landfill to address safety concerns.
"You can't use language around it's not feasible because that doesn't work for us. It doesn't work for our women, and it's not going to work for our relationship with the police," he said.
The Winnipeg police board is meeting Thursday evening to discuss next steps, said Markus Chambers, chairman of the board.
He said the conversation will focus on helping the families, not on calls for Smyth to resign.
"Given the fact that the community has just come through the residential school system and the unmarked graves, we have to be sensitive to that," Chambers said. "That's exactly where we are right now in requesting the pause."
The deaths of the women came up at an Assembly of First Nations meeting in Ottawa where several federal ministers and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau spoke about support for the community.
"These chilling and recurring acts of violence against Indigenous women cannot continue. Our government remains committed to transformational change," Trudeau told First Nations chiefs.
He said Ottawa will continue to work to implement changes to address the issue of missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls.
Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino said the federal government will rally around the families.
"These families deserve the same professional support as every other Canadian does," he said. "We'll do whatever we can to make sure that law enforcement has the tools and the resources that are necessary to do the job."
Any decisions taken by police will be done independently, he added.

But, I suppose possession is the key to focusing on native communities in how golf equipment interface and profit. And, to that finish, i think women's soccer is the avenue. Men's soccer is so mature, i do not think it cane scape its current path, which is nice for the game in that every membership if sufficient money and quality is inside it may have limitless fandom within humanity. But, girls's soccer is rising. The style of ownership and its relationship to media might be completely different. But, that relies on the house owners themselves.
The media inside soccer have been attributed to creating an environment which is harmful to the efficiency of the England national staff throughout tournaments because it easier and more lucrative to report and create negatives than it's optimistic news (unhealthy news sells greater than good news) due to this fact after nearly every tournament the British press have led a witch-hunt on an individual or two, pinning the blame of the whole tournaments failings (or what is perceived to be a failing) on what is generally a single mistake or dangerous second from a participant. This creates a toxic setting where the players are scared to play and make a mistake for fear of being portrayed as public enemy primary, subsequently the media of newspaper will be seen to change the psychology of the performers throughout the sport soccer, for higher or for worse however arguably almost at all times for the more severe.
Newspapers – the back pages of most newspapers within Britain is dominated with soccer information. A lot of individuals purchase the newspaper, especially in the morning for their commute. This signifies that the newspaper is more likely to be the form of media some folks initially achieve their info from. This then permits them to form the best way individuals interpret a sure occasion. The recent 2012 appointment of Roy Hodgson was met with headlines which mimicked the speech obstacle he has in a manor which seemed to try to discredit him as they weren't followers of him getting the position ahead of other rival candidates.

Get Involved: Become a Habitat Volunteer Volunteers are the heart of Habitat for Humanity of Lumpkin County. Our mission of eliminating substandard housing brings together individual and group volunteers from corporate, faith, educational, and community groups to ensure that everyone may live in safe, decent, and affordable housing. The Habitat provides a unique volunteer experience for people of all ages, races, religions and abilities. The tangible results of a day on the construction site, or the emotional involvement in a family's growth are things that make the Habitat experience more fulfilling than you can ever imagine. We give volunteers an opportunity to not only make a difference with a days work, but also make a connection with a family moving towards stability, entitlement, and homeownership. There are volunteer opportunities in every aspect of the Lumpkin County Habitat for Humanity. From construction labor to committee work, fundraising to family relations, there are always places for you to get involved. Attend a Volunteer Orientation The easiest way to get started is to attend a Volunteer Orientation, where you will learn about the amazing things Habitat for Humanity has done here in our own community and around the world. In addition, we will provide detailed information on the many different volunteer opportunities available and answer any questions you may have. Contact us for more information at (706)864-7584.
Listed below are brief descriptions of our various volunteer activities.
Publications: Publication of the quarterly Newsletter, including writing, editing and formatting. Also, web site design.
Fund Development: Organizes fund-raising events, such as Shadowbrook Dinner, Architecture Tour, Human Race, and Golf Tournament. Researches new ideas and opportunities for fund raising, including individual and corporate sources.
Site Selection: Facilitates the construction of simple, easy-to-build, inexpensive, affordable homes for ownership. Works on plans and preparations for future Habitat construction by assisting in the design and layouts of future Habitat projects. Processes proposed plans through governmental agencies. Assists in the preparation of working drawings, subdivision maps, infrastructure plans and other documents required by governmental planning and building applications.
Construction: Includes all activities related to on-site construction of housing. Habitat for Humanity is especially eager to recruit volunteers who have any construction skills and experience supervising. We also welcome unskilled volunteers, who are assigned simple tasks, thereby allowing the skilled workers to attend to more complex tasks. Normal workdays are Tuesdays and Saturdays, from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM.
Hospitality: May perform occasional, brief tasks, such as serving as a docent for the annual Architects Tour or the Golf Tournament fundraiser. A desire for more involvement would include assisting in organizing social events such ground breaking ceremonies. Recruiting and organizing those churches, who commit to providing the construction crew with lunch on Tuesdays and Saturdays.
Family Selection: Meets once a week for three months prior to the beginning of a new construction project (usually occurring once every year). Activities include review of applications for houses, interviewing applicant families in their home, checking references, and selecting the families to be awarded houses. Spanish-speaking or bilingual volunteers would be especially valuable in this area.
Family Partnership: Acts as a liaison between Habitat for Humanity and the families who are buying homes. Assists the family in becoming a successful homeowner. Seeks feedback from the homeowners in the hope of improving the function of the organization. If the homeowners seek help with specific problems, Habitat for Humanity endeavors to connect the homeowners with whatever resources that might prove helpful. Spanish-speaking or bilingual volunteers would be especially valuable in this area.
Public Relations: Acts as a contact between Habitat for Humanity and the media, including radio, television and newspaper. Previous press release experience helpful. Coordinates events.
Church Liaison: Acts as a liaison between Habitat for Humanity and churches or other religious organizations that they may belong to.

Anorak News | All The Worst Bits From The Peter Andre And Katie Price Divorce
All The Worst Bits From The Peter Andre And Katie Price Divorce
by Anorak | 8th, September 2009
KATIE Price And Peter Andre are suing each other for divorce. It's the end of the anti-romance Anorak dubbed Tit 4 Tat.
Katie and Peter are looking for a decree nisi, from a marriage that is irretrievably broken down. Price K v Andrea PJ is big news. The newspapers look on:
Daily Mirror: "KATIE AND PETER DIVORCE TODAY"
"They agree on trouble free split!"
Hurrah! No more mud slinging form Dignified Pete and Katie The Bad. And having told us that front-page fact, the Mirror's 3am Girls reveal:
"Peter Andre and Katie Price to divorce – with acrimony"
Perhaps the Girls read the Sun?
Last night a family lawyer said: "It's quite sad really and nothing more than a petty snipe from Ms Price. It's her way of saying, 'I am not allowing you to divorce me – instead I am going to divorce you.' It's just a way of sticking your fingers up at your ex through legal process. It's about emotion – nothing else."
How very typical of Katie Price. Tsk! As Sky news tells us, it was Peter who said:
The 36-year-old declared "enough is enough" after a string of tit-for-tat headlines which have dominated the tabloids since the couple parted in May.
Daily Star: "Yesterday furious Peter hit back at his wife's 'lies, lies, lies'."
He says he's been driven to the brink by her continual bizarre allegations about their relationship.
But what of the other facts?
Daily Star: "KATIE AND PETER DIVORCE TODAY".
This is an "EXCLUSIVE"
The Sun: "JORDAN DIVORCE TODAY"
And this too is an "EXCLUSIVE"
And there is shocking news from the Tabloid Telegraph:
Price, 30, a former glamour model turned author and reality TV star, appears under the name Katie Price in her petition against 36-year-old singer Andre.
That's 31-year-old Katie Price to all the other papers. It looks like the Tabloidgraph has its own exclusive.
And the facts keep on coming. About that counter-suing?
Daily Express: "Such cases only occur in about one out of every 400 divorces."
Daily Star: "A court insider revealed: 'They are both applying for divorce, which only happens in about one in every 300 cases. It doesn't bode well for a quiet and friendly outcome."
Such are the facts…

Thread is a new website aimed to help take the inconvenience out of finding the right clothe for you. After all, with jobs to do, reviews to write, gadgets to test and games to play who really has the time to browse through the thousands of items of clothing available, let alone figure out which items go well with each other? The idea is simple, you sign up, indicate what style you like and then one of their stylists sends you suggested outfits each week. You provide feedback and, in theory, the stylist learns what you like and dislike and get's better at picking items you want to purchase.
The service is free to use and there is no obligation to buy from them, so what's such a service like to use? We signed up as a new customer to find out.
The signup process is quick and simple. You can either log in with Facebook, or if you'd rather not allow such access you can sign up via an email. You've the option of uploading photos to give the stylist an idea of how you dress at the moment/what you look like generally and you complete a short questionnaire about the clothes you like, the looks you're interested in and what you're looking to get out of the website.
Overall this process was quick and easy, although the photo uploader could do with some work, be great if you could upload more than one photo at a time.
After you've completed the signup process you're matched with a stylist. At the time of signup my new stylist was not online, but if they are you may get the option to have a quick online chat to introduce yourself and get to know each other a little, a key ingredient of the site.
Email from Thread, annoyingly the emails keep ending up in the spam filter, hope marking as not spam will eventually sort this out.
Revisiting the website there are now 5 suggested outfits to review, each based on a style and the preferences set during the signup procedure. Each outfit is broken down into it's component parts, for example T-shirt, shoes, trousers etc, and you can rate each item according to if if you like or dislike like it. If clicking dislike you can further select why (e.g. too expensive), but curiously this isn't available if you like something. For example you might like a pair of shoes, but want them in a different colour. The only option is to dislike them and say they're the wrong colour, which felt too negative when you might buy the item if it there was a different version.
Each suggested item is available to buy via Thread, and they list the source of each item (e.g. ASOS.com). A quick check confirmed the prices are the same as the source website, making this a handy way to shop across a number of sites at the same time.
Making use of a special offer giving me £5 off my first shop an order is placed for a couple of items.
Email to say there has been a delay due to problems obtaining stock from their suppliers. Credited £5 off my next shop to make up for the inconvenience.
The order is well packaged and comes with everything you need to return items you don't want. Returns can be handled via Royal Mail or via the Collect+ service.
On this order the returns process was tested as the wrong sized jeans had been ordered. Having entered my preferred sizes during sign up there was an incorrect assumption that the site would automatically select my preferred size when placing an order. The unwanted items were easily sent back via the Collect+ service.
I received confirmation that the returned items have been received and refunded fairly quickly, far quicker than an ASOS order I sent back via the same method on the same day. My initial experience has been a positive one and seems like a good site to keep an eye on. Interestingly there isn't really any follow up from the stylist on the items ordered, for example I'd have at least expected them to ask for a photo to see if they're suggestions work for me.
As the site collects feedback data regarding clothing it's also possible it's sharing/selling that information with it's suppliers, but I've not had this confirmed or denied.
Yes, it's well worth a look. If you don't want to trawl through lots of online catalogues this website offers you a genuinely useful way to find clothing that might be of interest to you, and it allows you to explore a new look or style. Interaction with the stylist has proved very positive and the suggested items have thrown up some items I wouldn't normally consider. I would be good to see some email frequency controls in case you want to take a break from receiving suggestions.
I've been testing Thread for a few weeks now and it's a good site. Of course as they make money via your purchases it does mean you'll get emailed lots of suggestions to try and tempt you, but this isn't really any different to any number of online shopping sites. It's good to see you can view all liked items at a later date, they're not lost if you don't happen to order them the week they're suggested.
While it's convenient to shop directly on the website consider that this could add a delay and you will certainly not benefit from services such as the ASOS VIP scheme that gives you next day delivery on all orders for just £10 a year. Shopping direct also means you'll miss out on cashback from sites such as Quidco or TopCashback.
However, as there is nothing stopping you from ordering directly from the supplier there really isn't a downside to using the service and by ordering everything from a single website you don't need to worry about dealing with multiple deliveries/delivery charges.
At the moment the site is also offering a £5 referral credit to help drum up some users, so if you like it you can spread the love to friends and family and get some money towards you next shop.
Hopefully the website will continue to be developed to iron out issues such as not making use of your preferred sizes, and perhaps a little more interaction after orders have been received to give feedback on if suggested items actually work for you. In the current form the site is interesting and offers a convenient way to shop for clothing, but I'm not really convinced about the personal stylist side of things, it doesn't feel any more personal than Amazon's suggested products system and there isn't really any interaction unless you send a message to the stylist.

Q: Compute the marginal p.d.f. of X, Y and Z Suppose a fly gets trapped in your tent. Let the tent be represented by the polyhedron P with vertices (0, 0, 0), (0, 1, 0), (1, 1, 0), (1, 0, 0), (0, 1/2, 1), (1, 1/2, 1) and let the position of the fly be represented by the random vector (X, Y, Z). Assume that the position of the fly is uniformly randomly distributed within P.

*

*Compute the marginal p.d.f. of X

*Compute the marginal p.d.f. of Y

*Compute the marginal p.d.f. of Z

*Are X, Y, Z independent?

*Are X and Y independent?

*Are X and Z independent?

*Are Y and Z independent?

My attempt
In order to calculate the marginal p.d.f.s, we first need to calculate the joint p.d.f. Since it is uniformly distributed, we know that it is just $\frac{1}{volume}$. The volume of our polyhedron is $\frac{1}{2}$ so:
\begin{equation}
f_{X,Y,Z}(x,y,z)=
\begin{cases}
2 & \text{if } (x,y,z)\in D\\
0 & \text{otherwise}
\end{cases}
\end{equation}
For 1., to compute the marginal p.d.f. for X, we need to integrate in terms of $y,z$
so
$$f_X(x)=\int_0^{1/2}\int_0^{2y}2dzdy+\int_{1/2}^1\int_0^{-2y}2dzdy=-1$$
For 2., we integrate in terms of $x,z$ so
$$f_Y(y)=\int^1_0\int^1_02dxdz=2$$
For 3., we integrate in terms of $x,y$, so
$$f_Z(z)=\int^1_0\int^1_02dxdy=2$$
I am unsure about the bounds that I found for these, especially for number 1 becuse I got a negative number.
For independence, we just need to check if the joint p.d.f. is the product of the marginal p.d.f.s.

A: Please note the second integral in calculation of $f_X(x)$ is not correct.
It should instead be $\displaystyle \int_{1/2}^1 \int_0^{2-2y} 2 \ dz \ dy$.
Instead you can also calculate using single integral if you integrate with respect to $dy$ first.
$\displaystyle f_X(x) = \int_0^1 \int_{z/2}^{(2-z)/2} 2 \ dy \ dz = 1$
Also, there are mistakes in calculations of $f_Y(y)$ and $f_Z(z)$.
$\displaystyle f_Y(y) = \int_0^{(1-|1-2y|)}\int^1_0 2 \ dx \ dz = 2 - 2 |1-2y|$
$\displaystyle f_Z(z) = \int_{z/2}^{(2-z)/2}\int_0^1 2 \ dx \ dy = 2 - 2z$

Q: Wait for certain word in teraterm I am now doing some teraterm script which I want to wait for certain word (in some large string) and if the word is found then execute a command, if not found execute another command. I tried to use wait and if_else, but it's not working, please help.

A: Based on your question, I believe that you can achieve the right solution without the use of if_else. I just involved myself in scripting in teraterm a week ago, my experience and knowledge so far is in the COM Port communication. For example, I will show a code snippet to login:
;Set the COM port
connect '/C=5'

;Set Baud rate
setbaud 9600

;Set the display
showtt 1

;Set the timeout in seconds and result
timeout = 10
result = 1

;Set the username and password's prompt and value
UsernamePrompt='login:'
PasswordPrompt='Password:'
Username='admin'
Password='mypasword'

;Wait for the UsernamePrompt
wait UsernamePrompt
;If timeout occurs, result will be 0, else, result will be 1
if result = 0 goto Error
if result = 1 goto Ok

:Error
;Do the processing here if timeout occurs

:Ok
;Do the processing here if UsernamePrompt is received
sendln Username

I believe that this will help you. You may go here:https://ttssh2.osdn.jp/manual/en/macro/command/wait.html
to learn about timeout and  wait
Have a nice day.
Hari

A: As with my experiment, I found out that waitln is still usable when dealing with large string. I use waitln to wait for a string long enough(more then two words) and use if...then...endif.

A: check timeout period of the macro. explicitly provide some value of timeout


The Zinoviev letter – one of the greatest British political scandals of this century – was forged by a MI6 agent's source and almost certainly leaked by MI6 or MI5 officers to the Conservative Party, according to an official report published today.
The letter, purported to be from Grigori Zinoviev, president of the Comintern, the internal communist organisation, called on British communists to mobilise "sympathetic forces" in the Labour Party to support an Anglo-Soviet treaty (including a loan to the Bolshevik government) and to encourage "agitation-propaganda" in the armed forces.
On October 25, 1924, four days before the election, the Mail splashed headlines across its front page claiming: Civil War Plot by Socialists' Masters: Moscow Orders To Our Reds; Great Plot Disclosed. Labour lost by a landslide.
Ms Bennett said the letter "probably was leaked from SIS [the Secret Intelligence Service, commonly known as MI6] by somebody to the Conservative Party Central Office". She named Major Ball and Mr Morton, who was responsible for assessing agents' reports.
"I have my doubts as to whether he thought it was genuine but [Morton] treated it as if it was," she said. She described MI6 as being at the centre of the scandal, although it was impossible to say whether the head of MI6, Admiral Hugh Sinclair, was involved.
She said there was no evidence of a conspiracy in what she called "the institutional sense". The security and intelligence community at the time consisted of a "very, very incestuous circle, an elite network" who went to school together. Their allegiances, she says in her report, "lay firmly in the Conservative camp".
She found no evidence to identify the name of the forger. She said the letter – sent to MI6 from one of its agents in the Latvian capital, Riga – was written as a result of a campaign orchestrated by White Russians who had good contacts in London who were strongly opposed to the Anglo-Soviet treaty.
The report says there is no hard evidence that MI6 agents in Riga were directly responsible – though it is known they had close contacts with White Russians – or that the letter was commissioned in response to British intelligence services' "uneasiness about its prospects under a re-elected Labour government".
However, if Ms Bennett is right in her suggestion that MI6 chiefs did not set up the forgery, her report makes clear that MI6 deceived the Foreign Office by asserting it did know who the source was – a deception it used to insist, wrongly, that the Zinoviev letter was genuine.
Ms Bennett says it is wrong to conclude the scandal brought down Ramsay Macdonald's government which had already lost a confidence vote and Liberal support on which it depended was disappearing. The Labour vote in the election actually increased by a million.
"In electoral terms", she says, "the impact of the Zinoviev letter on Labour was more psychological than measurable".

The Ministry of finances wants to change radically the terms of issuing VAT invoices. Taxpayers would have a lot more time to raise the invoice. Every day, millions of companies issue VAT invoices. Today, as a rule, a taxpayer must issue an invoice within seven days from the date of delivery of the goods or performance of services.
From January 1st 2013 it will change. Amendment of the periods the VAT invoice can be issued experts estimate well because it will give taxpayers more time and more flexibility in a way of documenting the transactions.
It's a good change, especially as because in the VAT Act will be introduced the general principle limiting the possibility of retroactive invoices issuance. After the change in principle the invoices can not be issued earlier than 30 days prior to the delivery of the goods or performance of services. Currently, the retroactive time limit applies only to a few cases.
Next Post Are there invoices that do not give the right to deduct the VAT in Poland?


Improve your accuracy ranges in schools, hospitals, retail centers and more with our OMNI™ Compound (C²) water meters. The most technologically advanced, large water meters on the market, OMNI C² meters provide longer service life than all other comparable meters. And you don't have to be concerned about sustained flow rates because there are no restrictions, thanks to their continuous operating range. These compound water meters are similar to our OMNI™ Turbo (T²) models, but OMNI C² meters have a wider flow range.
The OMNI C² features floating ball technology (FBT). This technology is key to its optimal measurement performance. FBT uses an impeller with a ball design. The impeller is weightless in the water line and can begin moving with very little water flow or force through the meters. As a result, OMNI C² meters have an extended flow range with greater low-flow sensitivity. They also have the ability to capture extended high-flow rates, all with virtually no wear on the compound water meters.
The OMNI™ Compound (C²S) is a stainless steel version of the OMNI C² models and comes in 1.5", 2" and 3" sizes.

Spending time gardening releases particular chemicals in the brain.
It's a commonly known fact that the act of gardening can reduce stress and improve moods, but recent scientific studies have now shown that a particular microorganism that is found in soil can improve wellbeing and even act as an antidepressant. Mycobacterium vaccae is commonly found in soil, and has been proven to activate the release of brain serotonin, according to reports. The chemical serotonin together with dopamine boost immune systems and keep people happy. Both of these chemicals are neurotransmitters, which act as chemical messengers in the brain. dopamine affects emotions, movements and sensations of pleasure and pain, whilst serotonin regulates mood, social behaviour, libido, sleep, memory, and learning. When a person is gardening, M. vaccae is present on the skin when bare hands are in the soil. This is then either inhaled or enters into the bloodstream through any cuts.
Studies claim that the overall wellbeing of a person's immune system and psychology is enhanced by frequent exposure to a diverse group of bacteria, fungi, protozoa, and worms during the period of early childhood. The gastro-intestinal ract develops a hundred trillion microbes over a period of time, which is determined by a combination of genetics and the particular bacteria that live in and on living things around an individual. Therefore, scientists have stated that a diverse range of organisms, found in animals, plants, soil, water and air, are all required for the optimal functioning of the immune and nervous systems.


The bare tree branches twisted against the darkening wintry sky. Deep into the wooded path in the wilds of Ireland's County Wicklow, the rich green moss hummed with the promise of ancient magic, while tiny waterfalls fell from secret caves, throbbing with the pulse of the blood of our ancestors.
When I decided to hop on an international flight with just my 3-year-old and a few suitcases for company, much to the thinly veiled scorn and genuine bewilderment of many less adventurous souls, I knew we would have a great time together. I just had no idea what joy and wonder were waiting for us across the pond.
We arrived in Dublin shortly after lunchtime on Christmas Eve. We felt tired, hungry, jet-lagged, dirty. And because of an unanticipated computer glitch, it seemed for a few harried moments that we might just be homeless, since the lodging I had booked in advance was locked and dark.
A cozy lunch of sandwiches and juice in a pub down the cobbled street revived us, and I set out with purpose--a boy on my back, suitcases on one arm and my Lonely Planet guidebook in the other hand. We found a lovely, affordable, family-friendly guesthouse nearby, and a friendly local even helped carry our luggage most of the way.
I have traveled extensively, but I have never been anywhere as friendly and welcoming as Ireland. It was easy to navigate public transportation and everyone spoke English. Plus, everyone we ran into was so excited to help out by recommending places to eat, pointing us in the right direction, giving us discount fares, insisting we take an extra book free of charge at the used bookstore, offering their help, or asking us about our lives. Even though Dublin is a vibrant modern city of more than a million people, it is full of historic buildings, cobbled streets and a vibrant community of friendly faces. We felt right at home.
We could have stayed in Dublin for weeks without running out of things to do. There are fabulous museums--many free--to explore. The Natural History branch of the National Museum of Ireland appeals to natural-science enthusiasts of all ages, with an incredible collection, including different breeds of octopi that have been preserved in jars since 1837 and many other extremely odd specimens dating back to Victorian times.
The Archaeology branch of the museum around the corner houses everything from ornate religious relics to human remains that were preserved in boglands for centuries and only recently discovered. St. Stephen's Green is a beautiful park in the middle of the city, a short walk from the celebrated Book of Kells at Trinity College and the high-end shopping of pedestrian-friendly Grafton Street. We spent a lot of time at the St. Stephen's Green playground making friends with Irish families in between our more touristy forays.
It is also worth wandering outside the city. We hopped on an amazing bus tour of County Wicklow and were able to see and experience countryside and wilderness that would have been difficult to navigate on our own. We rode the train up to the little seaside village of Howth for a day, where we were enraptured by an up-close-and-personal encounter with wild seals in the Irish Sea.
From ancient churches to cozy tea houses, Ireland has something to offer anyone, and it is a trip that can really be tailored for different tastes and budgets. We walked almost everywhere, stayed in an inexpensive guesthouse, and ate simple picnic meals from the grocery store. We people watched, played in parks, explored free museums and splurged on an amazing night at an incredible Italian restaurant.
I know, I know, we were in Ireland, but my 3-year-old is not a big fan of the more traditional Irish fare of seafood or stews, and I have to admit that it was truly some of the best pasta I have ever eaten.
A spontaneous trip to Ireland turned out to be a friendly, cozy Christmas to remember for the writer and her son.
Keep some healthy munchies in the room, because little kids will likely wake up hungry in the middle of the night confused by jet lag and discombobulated by the new time zone. My little guy and I were awake from midnight to 2 a.m. every night that week eating hummus and carrots and apples together.
Pack a few familiar toys and books, but there are enough exciting kid-friendly places to go that it is not worth lugging a bunch of stuff around for entertainment. Plus, your kid will want that cool double-decker bus toy. And you will probably want to say yes.
Be flexible. We showed up in Dublin with a guidebook and no plans except to have fun together. Travel with a young child is much more joyful without rushing to meet predetermined agendas and expectations.
Ireland is fabulous. I was there almost two years ago & everything you've mentioned regarding transportation, lodging, and inexpensive/free museums is correct. There are different tour operations that'll take you to different places there & there are even walking tours that are conducted for free (you are expected to tip your guide of course).

Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice Review
Posted on April 25, 2016 By John Gilpatrick 2016, Movie Reviews, New Releases
Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice is a film about and full of contradictions. It's a sequel to 2013's Man of Steel — also directed by Zack Snyder — yet this film relegates old Superman to a supporting role, instead focusing on that which drives the film's other titular hero. Despite this role reversal, Snyder still asks interesting questions about Clark Kent's Kryptonian alter ego. In doing so, Snyder proves surprisingly fleet-of-foot, as the film's standout opening scene and much of what follows, appear to be a reaction to the callousness of Man of Steel, wherein Supes and his lady friend Lois made out as the remains of a city and probably tens of thousands of bodies rained down around them. Still, nearly everything else about the film is leaden.
Ironically, some will notice the questions he poses relate to the philosophy of St. Augustine, which addresses (among many other things) the concern that God cannot be both all-powerful and completely benevolent if evil and tragedy exist in the world. Of course, he eschews this quickly in favor of a truly fascist execution that's both horrifying and, I guess, sort of intellectually curious.
That's the film in a nutshell: clever, stupid, reactive, stubborn, peaceful, violent, surprising, terrible.
It starts by reintroducing us to Bruce Wayne/Batman (Ben Affleck) … again … seriously. Parents gunned down, afraid of bats, decides to put his considerable largess to use fighting Gotham's most rotten criminals. But after the events of Man of Steel, which saw the Metropolis branch of Wayne Enterprises destroyed by the recklessness of Superman and Zod, the Man of Steel is never far from the Dark Knight's mind.
Elsewhere, Clark Kent/Superman (Henry Cavill) is still trying to make his adopted city a better place, but most importantly, he's trying to keep his girlfriend, the intrepid reporter Lois Lane (Amy Adams) out of harm's way. This leads to trouble on Capitol Hill as some powerful individuals want this seemingly unstoppable creature to operate democratically. That's seemingly OK when those questioning him are elected officials like Senator Finch (Holly Hunter), who theoretically have the people's best interest at heart, but when it's Lex Luthor (Jesse Eisenberg) trying to curtail Superman's authority, it's a cause for serious concern.
Ultimately, the largest problem with Batman v. Superman is that it tries to do way, way, way too much. It's a sequel, a reboot, and a "cinematic universe" (ugh) origin story. So far behind the artistically bankrupt but crowd-pleasing and focused Marvel universe, Warner Bros. appears to have dictated that its DC universe catch up in a hurry. They dictated this to a filmmaker who, incidentally, appears fascinated (in a way that's sometimes uncomfortable) by the idea of dictatorship.
Here's the thing: dictatorial politics aren't fun or pleasant, and that's where the superhero landscape is right now. Batman v. Superman feels like a slog even when it's doing something tonally or philosophically novel. And Snyder is not a subtle dude, which means those novel moments are few and far between BvS's big, loud, ridiculous action set pieces.
You want some good performances? Look elsewhere. Henry Cavill is dull as dishwater playing Superman. Amy Adams, one of the most charming actresses working today, is worse. Jesse Eisenberg imbues Lex Luthor with a bit of Mark Zuckerberg, which is amusing, but he also feels more like a personal nuisance than a threat to the world — something that doesn't help the film's stakes problem.
One rare highlight is Ben Affleck. His Batman is quite possibly better than Christian Bale's. As Bruce Wayne, Bale still wins, but Affleck isn't extremely far behind. He and Warner Bros. are promising increased involvement in future films (including directing a Batman solo feature), which is great. Really, anything that gets Snyder away from this universe is a plus…
He's an auteur, but one who simply doesn't make competent movies (or ones people enjoy). He has such a loose grip over this material when the film starts, and by the time it reaches its climax, he's completely lost control. The nearly 150-minute film ceases to be even curious after about 60 minutes, and the more and more it goes on, the less interest you'll have in whatever DC property is coming next.
