Rent Villa Sesari in Seminyak From Bali Luxury Villas!
Enter Villa Sesari through oversized Balinese antique gates and across a small fishpond with stepping stones. Located in Seminyak, Sesari is surrounded by lush tropical landscaped gardens, frangipani trees, palms and lavish lawns. There are some spectacular oversized stone Buddah statues which light up during the evenings and water features which reflect the true Bali.
Villa Sesari features four spacious bedrooms with three private en-suite open-air bathrooms, satellite televisions, LCD screens and DVD players, air conditioning and ceiling fans. All bedrooms feature luxurious king sized beds with mosquito nets, and are tastefully decorated, offering large cupboards and views to the garden and swimming pool.
The main bedroom has a large ensuite with a beautiful stone bath for you to relax in at the end of the day with the sound of the waterfall beside you and a candle lit lantern for that romantic touch. Adjoining off the master bedroom is a fully air-conditioned room with twin beds, which can also be converted into a queensize bed. This room would be ideal for families with younger children as it has an inter-connecting door for privacy. The generous bathroom is shared with the master bedroom, as is the wardrobe/storage area. In the two other bedrooms, the king size beds can be converted into king singles if required. All of the bedrooms have a writing desk with Free WiFi internet.
The main living area is conveniently located in the middle of the property surrounded by the beautiful, large free form swimming pool. The living room is open-plan and consists of an impressive 'L' shaped sofa and a fully equipped modern kitchen. There is also a guest bathroom. On the opposite side of the swimming pool is a large bale bengong ( pavilion) with cushions to relax on while reading your book or just taking some time out.
" WOW! WHAT A SURREAL PLACE TO CHILL "
I have stayed at this villa several times, the latest being in April 2014. This is the first time I have found the villa on Trip Advisor to allow me to review it. Where do I start? From the moment you enter the double gates into the grounds of this private villa, you feel like you are a million miles away from everything, but really you are just a short walk to some of the most amazing restaurants, bars, shops, markets and about a 10 minute walk to the beach. The sparkling swimming pool is located centrally surrounding the living area and adjoining kitchen and the large day bed. There is a separate dining area adjacent to the pool. The main bedroom is huge with an incredible indoor/outdoor bathroom including a stone bath and stunning water feature and outdoor shower. The other two separate bedrooms each have their own ensuite with outdoor showers and are very private. The staff are amazing!! I don't think I have ever encountered more helpful and friendly staff. They look after your every need. There is a security guard on duty every night. I have stayed in several villas in Seminyak and this one is so far superior it leaves the others in it's wake. HIGHLY recommended.
Above Rates are quoted in US Dollars per night and are subject to 15.5% tax & service charge. Rates are valid until 10 January, 2016.
5 minutes (0.7 km) drive to Seminyak Center, 5 minutes (0.8 km) drive to Seminyak Night Life, 30 minutes (6.3 km) drive to Ngurah Rai International Airport.

A paraffin treatment uses warm oil-based wax to provide pain relief to hands, feet, face and sore joints and muscles. This treatment has skin-softening benefits as well. You can do a warm paraffin treatment at home with PB-3 Paraffin Hot Wax Bath which is special paraffin designed for this purpose, or you can have it done at a spa or salon.
Paraffin treatment is a form of deep heat therapy. Liquified paraffin wax is very efficient at absorbing and retaining heat. When you dip your hand or foot, for example, into the paraffin bath, heat transfers from the wax into the affected area as the wax solidifies. The heat increases circulation and relieves pain and stiffness. To aid in skin softening, paraffin increases blood supply to the skin, while also opening pores and trapping moisture from underlying layers of skin.
A paraffin treatment soothes chronic joint pain and relaxes stiff muscles, and improves blood flow to the treated area. It increases range of motion for people with arthritis, bursitis and other chronic conditions that cause pain and stiffness. Paraffin treatments also smooth and soften dry, chapped, rough and scaly skin. It can be helpful for chronic skin disorders such as eczema and psoriasis.
Step2: Coated with a layer of paraffin wax's solution in the face. Note: Before painting with a brush dipped in a small amount of wax coating on the inside of the wrist to the customer, so that customers feel the temperature is appropriate.
Step4: Sweep the veil on the three layer of paraffin wax's solution, and waiting for 10~15 minutes.
Step5: The cotton veil is torn off from the neck upward to the head direction, and discarded.
Step1: After Cleansing, coated with collagen cream and massage until completely absorbed.
Step2: The cotton veil is placed directly into paraffin wax's solution. So that the amount of wax dipped .
Step3: Immediately put the cotton veil spread on the face, fixed in position for about 10~15 minutes.
Step4: The cotton veil is torn off from the neck upward to the head direction, and discarded.
· When you suffer from the pain of arthritis, bursitis or chronic joint inflammation, nothing is as soothing as a gentle dose of heat therapy. The PB-3 Paraffin Hot Wax Bath takes this comforting therapy out of the doctor's office or spa and lets you enjoy it in the comfort of home. Relieves pain, smoothes and removes dry skin.
·The paraffin wax treatment will help your customer moisturize the skin, leaving it soft, smooth and supple in day spa and medical spa.
· Worry-free, automatic wax melting and thermostat keeps paraffin at a medically prescribed temperature.
· Fuzzy control technology ensures the accuracy of temperature for reliable 24-hour operation.
·When power on the machine will automatically enter into wax dissolving process until the paraffin wax has be liquefied. And then keep the liquefied wax in constant temperature state.
· Design in USA since 1994.

Q: calculate bezier curve for linear zoom When looping a zoom animation a linear timing will not feel linear but rather slow at the start and fast at the end.
How would you go about calculating the correct curve?
If you need more info ask in the comments.
In this pen I use a hand drawn curve to try to fix the issue, since I am clearly too stupid to figure out the logic.
http://codepen.io/pixelass/pen/qZjBQy
// mathematically correct curve ?
@function linear-zoom() {
  // add your code here
  $sx: 0;
  $sy: 0;
  $ex: 1;
  $ey: 1;
  $curve: ($sx, $sy, $ex, $ey);
  @return $curve;
}

A: The scale parameters you're using are multiples of two, so when you use linear animation speed the scaling increases linearly, but distances increase logarithmically.
Let's look at some numbers. First, a circle that we scale from 0.5 to 2, so two log2 steps:
t=0    => scale(0.5)
t=0.25 => scale((0.75 * 0.5 + 0.25 * 2)) = scale(0.875)
t=0.5  => scale((0.5 * 0.5 + 0.5 * 2)) = scale(1.25)
t=0.75 => scale((0.25 * 0.5 + 0.75 * 2)) = scale(1.625)
t=1    => scale(2)

So that looks great, linear transition between start and end. We might think that means we can add more circles to do the same, but if we do we end up with logarithmic behaviour. Let's look at why: let's say we add one that scales 0.25 to 1.
t=0    => scale(0.25)
t=0.25 => scale((0.75 * 0.25 + 0.25)) = scale(0.4375)
t=0.5  => scale((0.5 * 0.25 + 0.5)) = scale(0.625)
t=0.75 => scale((0.25 * 0.25 + 0.75)) = scale(0.8125)
t=1    => scale(1)

That seems good: at every time interval, the big circle's radius is twice the smaller circle... but that's not what you want, because that also means that a point on the smaller circle only moves 0.75 units in the time it takes a point on the larger circle to move twice that distance (1.5 units). We see that the larger a circle starts at, the faster it moves across the screen, following a simple 2^t formula.
To counteract this you want to compensate for the specific logarithmic growth, independent for each animation due to the different parameters. Getting a single Bezier curve to do that for all curves is mathematically impossible, but since humans aren't perfect maths machines, you can get away with it on a small bit of screen like your codepen - to do it "properly" for any start/end set of parameters a and b you need to set up a Bezier curve that approximates the function 1/(2^t) over the interval t=[a,b], which isn't much fun: we need to approximate the series for 1/2^x up to order 2 on specific intervals with a Bezier curve, and then use the coordinates that gives us as cubic easing parameters.
There's two ways you can do this - either find the one Bezier curve that fits the function best from your globally smallest to largest value, and then use curve splitting to find the parameters for each subinterval, or find Bezier fits for each separate interval. The first is (marginally) easier but error prone due to the low order series approximation of 1/2^x, the second is better, but quite a lot of work, so if you want to find out how to do this math.stackexchange.com is a better place for getting to the true mathematical bottom here.
The "Stackoverflow answer" that most programmers will be able to work with is to build yourself a Lookup Table of "some curves for some intervals" and then use interpolations between those to deal with intervals that fall somewhere in between the intervals you used to build the LUT: plot the intervals with whichever language you have lying around, and then just use something like cubic-bezier.com with that plot overlaid and simply find "a good fit" for each of those plots by eyeballing the control points. Do that for, say, ten of the intervals you use, and you're good to go.
This is less maths for sure, and you can't "program" that solution as a generic solution, but it is efficient: from a user perception perspective, this solution should already be more than good enough to feel smooth.

Pickled asparagus is one of those preserves that you frequently see on the shelves of gourmet markets for $12 a jar. Its outrageously high priced for something you can harvest for free every spring, which puts me in sort of a pickle... So, I pickled my own and so can you!
Fill canning pot with enough water to cover jars with 1 inch of water and bring to a boil on stove top.
Sterilize jars in dishwasher or on stove top. Place the lids in a small saucepan and cover in water. Bring to a boil and then turn heat to low and let sit.
Trim asparagus to fit the jar. Cut them short enough that when they rest in the jar there is about 3/4 inch to the rim. Save the bottoms of the asparagus for another use.
Blanch your asparagus in boiling water for 10 seconds and then place in ice water.
Pour water, vinegar, and salt into a saucepan, bring to a boil.
Fill each jar with 1 tsp mustard seed, 1 tsp fresh dill chopped, 1 clove garlic whole or chopped, 1 slice lemon. Then pack the jars with blanched asparagus. I like tip up but it doesn't matter.
Pour the boiling vinegar solution into the jars leaving a 1/2 inch head space. Use a clean rag to wipe the rip of each jar. Lift a lid from the hot water. Place the lid on the top of a jar. Place a band over the lid and screw down with your fingertips. Repeat with the rest of the jars.
Lower the full jars into the boiling water bath. The water will temporarily stop boiling as you add the jars. Wait until the water is boiling and then set a timer for 10 minutes. After ten minutes of boiling, lift the jars from the boiling water. Let cool on the counter.
Step 5: Get That Asparagus Pickled!
Open in four weeks and enjoy! Pickled asparagus if good for at least one year!
We make ours with hot peppers. The hotter the better!!
If that IS so, I would love to get involved with hot peppers, such as Jalapenos, for one.
This looks absolutely delicious and when local asparagus will be in season here this summer I'll have to make batch.

REQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT SURGE ARRESTER TECHNOLOGY (FAQ)
Added Date 7.3.2019
What is Surge Arrester? What does it do?
Surge arresters are protective elements that protect the system from overvoltages seen in the electrical system.
The definition of the overvoltage for an electrical system can be given as exceeding the maximum permissible continuous operating voltage. Overvoltages cause significant problems on the operation of the system. System failure
We can list the causes of these overvoltages:
Lightning overvoltages
Naturally sourced overvoltages coming into the system from outside
They are high amplitudes (in kA), the wave front is very steep (in the order of •s)
Switching overvoltages
They occur as a result of sorties performed at switching stations
They have moderate amplitudes (from 500A to 3kA) and durations (ms)
Transient overvoltages (TOV)
They arise from different operating conditions in the system (load disposal, ground faults, etc.)
They are relatively low in amplitude (1 (100 A) and have long durations (from seconds to hours).
until)
Operating voltages (COV)
System parameters and create constant stress on devices
They cause long term deterioration of insulation.
What is Arrester? What is the working principle of the surge arrester? How does the Parfudr work?
As mentioned above, the task of surge arresters is to protect the system elements against excessive voltage in the system. In other words, the surge arresters are the victims of our system. A surge arrester earths the overvoltages in the system and creates a controlled phase earth fault on the system. When this error occurs through a healthy working surge, no interruption occurs in the system.
The principle of operation of a surge arrester can be explained: The surge arresters have a high impedance value at power frequency voltages. In contrast to impulse currents, the impedance values are close to zero.
In other words, it is a resistance that can change its value according to the voltage between the surge terminals.
All modern surge arrester designs are non-stop designs that use metal-oxide blocks as variable resistors.
In general, the following terms are used in the terminology of the surge arrester:
Ur: Surge Arrester Voltage
UC: Continuous Operating Voltage (COV)
Um: Maximum system voltage
In: Rated release current
What are the types of surge arresters?
Surge arresters can be manufactured in many different types according to their application areas. In general we want to classify
-High Voltage Surge arresters (Station Types)
-Medium Voltage Surge Arrester-distrubtion types
- Low Voltage - Surge Arrester or Surge Protective Device (Surge Protective Device)
What is English for Collateral?
Surge Arrester is called Lightning Arrester. Various English sources include Surge Arrestor or Lightning Arrestor or Ligtning surge arrester. For this reason, the surge arrester symbol is briefly indicated by gesi L Bu.
However, the type of surge arrester or LV surge arrester is different. English as Surge Protective Device or SPD.
Surge arrester symbol - what is the symbol or circuit displayed?
Various standards are shown differently. However, the most valid representation according to IEC 60617 is as follows.
surge arrester lightnin arrester arrestor symbol surge arrester symbol icon
Surge arrester- Lightining arrester- arrestor sysmbols
What are High-voltage-Medium voltage Surge Arrester Parts?
Surge arresters can consist of metal-oxide blocks (ZnO), body, sealing elements, connection elements, voltage rating rings (corona rings), surge arrester, jump counter and leakage current counters.
Metal-oxide blocks form the heart of the surge arrester and provide all electrical characteristics of the surge arrester.
The surge arrester is the part that keeps the elements inside the surge arrester together, protects the paraffets against external influences and also provides insulation. The body of the surge arrester is made of two basic materials: porcelain and polymer.
Porcelain body surge arresters are traditionally designed as surge arresters and nowadays are rapidly replaced by polymer body surge arresters. Porcelain surge arresters consist of porcelain body, metal-oxide resistors, metrolole materials, mounting covers, pressure relief systems and voltage rating rings.
Because of the air in the porcelain structure of the air in the errors that occur because the air expands and explodes to explode and cause damage to itself and the environment. That's why porcelain surge arresters
Equipped with equipment. The other problem with porcelain surge arresters should be able to absorb moisture, which is the cause of 86% of porcelain surge arrester faults.
Polymer-body surge arresters are the basis of modern surge arrester designs. Polymer surge arrester is composed of metal oxide resistors, polymer enclosure and bonding elements. Since the polymer surge arresters do not contain any air or gas inside, there is no explosion in an internal fault that can occur, so there is no pressure relief system. The advantages of polymer surge arresters are as follows:
Low footprint and light weight
Can be installed close to the device to be protected
Simple connection
Does not contain air and moisture
Resistant to mechanical influences such as earthquakes
Resistant to contamination
It is resistant to UV rays.
In addition to these, the surge arresters have specially designed connection elements depending on the connection forms and the location to which they will be connected.
What is the High-Medium Voltage Surge Arrester? What does the surge arrester do?
Another important element of surge arresters is the surge arrester. Although they are not basically surge arrester components, they prevent the system to detect faulty surge arresters in the system and prevent the system from being out of service due to faulty surge arresters.
Separators are mounted on the ground ends of surge arresters. The disconnectors work in the event that the surge arrester does not fall to normal values after a certain period of time after an discharge through the surge arrester and prevents a possible phase-to-earth fault by interrupting the connection of the surge arrester with the earth. Thanks to the surge arrester, the defective surge arrester can be easily determined by eye contact.
What are the brands of surge arresters? Which market is the best brand of surge arresters? What should be considered when picking up surge arresters?
There are various domestic or foreign brands that produce surge arresters. However, POLIPAR haline has become the brand that has been dealing with 30 years of high-speed surge arrester technology and has been producing the medium-voltage polymer-enclosed paraffin in our country and using the technology it has today with its technology in many different countries.
Polipar AG- Low Voltage-Plumbing Surge Arrester (SPD products) is the first company in Turkey to realize its production. With close to 30 years of experience, it uses 420.000 Volt (420 kV) production and test capacity in the production of LV-Low Voltage-Plumbing Surge arresters (SPD products) produced at 220-380 V level.
We kindly ask our users to pay attention to the domestic and foreign firms which have not been produced in independent-accredited laboratories and whose required tests are not certified in the actual product standard and whose production technology is not proven according to the actual product standard. Protection requires experience and competence.
Polipar AG- Low Voltage-Installation Surge Arrester type and design tests and TSE certificate with the-first and only Al company.
How to choose surge arrester? What should be considered when selecting the surge protector?
There are various complicated parameters when selecting the surge protector. You can get technical support from our company or you can review our contribution. You can also use our article on Polipar surge arrester selection. The choice of surge arrester is the basic point of correct protection. Please contact our company about selection of surge arresters.
How is Parafudr connected or how to install surge arresters?
In order to determine how the surge arrester is connected, it is important to select the surge arrester and determine the correct type of surge arrester. Polipar surge arresters as a standard in the operating instructions and video sharing sites are shown in detail in our videos on the connection of Polipar surge arresters. Please contact us for connection wiring diagrams.
What is the prices of Parafudr? What is the price of high voltage or LV - Low Voltage - Installation Surge Arrester?
The most important feature of Polipar products is that the price quality-performance balance is at the highest level. Polipar products are guaranteed by 30 years of industry experience. HAPPY CUSTOMER is the basic firm principle.
What is the difference of Parafarr lightning rod?
One of the most common problems we encounter is the fact that the electrical personnel with external lightning or lightning rods will be protected from lightning or surge voltage. However, external lightning systems only protect against the physical effects of lightning. Lightning impacts in an area of 2 km and the lightning pulses in the oscillating direction can lead to your facility and cause malfunctions in your devices. First class B surge arresters should be used to protect against lightning and lightning strikes. Our facility will be protected from lightning-induced impacts of a B-class product that we will place on the main panel.
What are Data Surge Arrester? How are data centers protected?
Nowadays, huge data center projects, especially banks, GSM firms, are realized in succession. It is important that data center projects are protected against sudden surge and lightning strikes. Nowadays, every medium-sized company has a server room and unfortunately, the servers are damaged due to sudden surge pulses. The loss of information and time loss along with economic loss reveal how important protection measures are. Commercial enterprises that store the data of thousands of companies in cloud technology can damage all line inputs from networked switching pulses at greater risk than lightning. Generally, our system feeds the response of UPS as a pretext of not conducting protection. However, it is of utmost importance to protect their input and output with AG Surge Arrester systems. Please contact our company to provide these protections.
As Polipar, our company manufactures its products in accordance with TS EN 60099 TED4, IEC 99 IEC4, IEC 60, IEC 270, IEC TC, TEDAŞ-MDY within the Quality Management System established in accordance with the latest version of ISO 9001: 2015.

Q: Calling rst2pdf through subprocess in Django app truncates file I'm using rst2pdf to generate a formatted pdf file in my Django app. This is the code I'm using to do this:
temp_file = tempfile.NamedTemporaryFile(mode='w+t', dir=PDF_PATH, delete=False)
temp_pdf = tempfile.NamedTemporaryFile(dir=PDF_PATH, delete=False)
temp_file.write(plaintext)

subprocess.call('rst2pdf ' + temp_file.name +' -s '+ STYLESHEET_PATH +' -o ' + temp_pdf.name, shell=True)
pdf = open(temp_pdf.name, 'rb')

response = HttpResponse(pdf.read(), mimetype='application/force-download')
response['Content-Disposition'] = 'attachment; filename=output.pdf'
response['Content-Length'] = os.stat(temp_pdf.name).st_size

return response

For some reason, the pdf that gets served as the response is truncated on the last page. The pdf on the filesystem is truncated. I can see the plaintext that's being written to the pdf, and it's all there. I even ran the same rst2pdf call on the command line with all the same arguments, and the pdf was generated fine. But for some reason, when I call rst2pdf from inside my Django app, the file is truncated. Any ideas on what can cause this, or on how I can debug the subprocess call?

A: It looks like I didn't fully understand how python handles writable files. Apparently after calling temp_file.write, there is still data in the buffer that doesn't get written out unless I call temp_file.close() or temp_file.flush().


Being called a nice guy is sometimes a backhanded compliment, and by almost all accounts, Georgia football coach Mark Richt is a nice guy. He's also cunning enough to survive in a cutthroat business. The problem is, he does not thrive in the biggest games. He wins a lot of games and has a pleasant personality, so he still has a job.
Being called a nice guy is sometimes a backhanded compliment, and by almost all accounts, Georgia football coach Mark Richt is a nice guy. He's also cunning enough to survive in a cutthroat business.
The problem is, he does not thrive in the biggest games. He wins a lot of games and has a pleasant personality, so he still has a job.
Nick Saban is his opposite. He's not happy unless he's cranky. It's as if a bird craps on his shoulder each morning he leaves the house. But the Alabama coach wins the big ones, so who cares if he's not a nice guy? For those who succeed, being called a jerk can be a compliment.
Saban has been called a lot of names, but he has not been labeled an underdog in six years. Until now. Richt is the favorite against Saban on Saturday, and something seems wrong about that.
Edwards might have exaggerated the value of the coaches, but his point is on target. Saban has won four national championships, so his public perception is powerful for a reason. Richt, who has not won an SEC title since 2005, is perceived as weak for a reason.
On the Richt scale, this is arguably his biggest game. The Bulldogs, unbeaten contenders for the College Football Playoff, are 2-point home favorites over the one-loss Crimson Tide, a team crippled by poor quarterback play. If there is a time to get Saban, this is it.
Alabama's 72-game streak of being favored is probably ending unless cash pours in on the Crimson Tide before kickoff. It will be pouring, if only because the forecast calls for about a 100 percent chance of rain in Athens, Ga.
It has not happened due to Georgia looking better on paper. The Bulldogs are 4-0 after running over Louisiana-Monroe, Vanderbilt, South Carolina and Southern. Greyson Lambert has completed 76.5 percent of his passes with seven touchdowns and no interceptions. Nick Chubb, one of the nation's top running backs, has 599 yards and six touchdowns. But how much weight do the numbers — compiled against paper-thin opposition — really hold?
The Crimson Tide crushed Wisconsin, Middle Tennessee and Louisiana-Monroe while losing 43-37 to Mississippi. Alabama's starting quarterback, Jake Coker, is barely holding onto his job, and the offense he led converted just 2 of 13 third downs against Monroe last week. If you watched that game, you were not impressed.
"At the quarterback position, Saban is still experimenting and he hasn't found the right formula yet," Avello said.
Alabama does have an elite running back, Derrick Henry, and a defense far stronger than anything Lambert and Chubb have seen this season. In the rain, the Tide will try to roll with Henry and their defense. The Bulldogs know Chubb is for real, and they are about to find out about Lambert, who is not as good as his numbers suggest.
Saban hates spread offenses mostly because his defenses struggle to stop them. Mississippi spread the field for Chad Kelly, who ripped the Tide for 341 yards passing on just 18 completions. But this is the type of game Saban can handle because Georgia runs a pro-style offense.
Kelly, who started his career at Clemson, could be the SEC's most talented quarterback. Leonard Fournette of Louisiana State is probably the nation's best running back.
There is no doubt that Tennessee coach Butch Jones has become the league's worst game manager, even eclipsing a certain LSU coach. Jones' buffoonery — his misuse of timeouts and failure to go for a 2-point conversion with a 12-point fourth-quarter lead, among other mistakes — was the sole reason the Volunteers folded in a 28-27 loss at Florida last week.
"Jones is making Les Miles look like Einstein," Edwards said.
In the SEC this week, Edwards (BrianEdwardsSports.com) likes Arkansas as a 6½-point 'dog at Tennessee and Vanderbilt as a 1½-point 'dog at Middle Tennessee.
I'll roll the dice with the Tide in a game that could eliminate them from the four-team playoff on the first weekend of October.
Saban is so rarely an underdog for a reason, and the last time he was, he won in a blowout.
Iowa (+7) over WISCONSIN; Alabama (+2) over GEORGIA; Oregon (-7½) over COLORADO; Washington State (+18) over CALIFORNIA; Unlv (+6½) over UNR.

Man City fans vote for who they want Pep Guardiola to sign in January
Pep Guardiola has said he won't be signing anyone in the January transfer window, but Manchester City fans want him to make an exception for this player

If Pep Guardiola is to be believed it will be a quiet January transfer window for City.
Last week he said there was 'no way' there would be any new arrivals at the Etihad Stadium mid-season, but as we've learned in the past you can never say never where football is concerned.
Plenty of City fans will be hoping Guardiola is calling their bluff with his protestations about a quiet window and there's one player in particular they would be keen to see arrive in January.
We've been asking you who you want Guardiola to go for in January and who he should avoid and if City fans were in charge of the transfer kitty at the Etihad it appears most of it would be thrust in Ajax's direction.
A central midfielder was high on Guardiola's wishlist in the summer, with a move for Jorginho falling through when he opted for a reunion with his former Napoli boss Maurizio Sarri at Chelsea.

But now he should be going all out to sign Ajax wonderkid Frenkie de Jong according to the fans, with a huge 90 per cent of you wanting the 21-year-old to be a City target when the transfer window opens.
De Jong has been compared to Dutch legend Johann Cruyff already and Ajax have reportedly slapped a £75million price tag on his head, but it remains to be seen if that's enough to put City off, with Barcelona also reportedly interested.
City fans would also like Guardiola to try and make a move for de Jong's Ajax teammate Matthijs de Ligt in January, although the consensus isn't as overwhelming this time.
Just 54% of those who voted want the 19-year-old centre back, who is on the five-man shortlist for the Golden Boy award, to be pursued in January.
Matthijs de Ligt might be on City's January shopping list (Image: Getty Images)
Ruben Neves was linked with a move to City in the summer but the Portuguese ace is yet to set the Premier League alight with Wolves and City fans have certainly cooled on the 21-year old, with 66% of you urging Guardiola to avoid him in January.
Finally, could Guardiola make a move for a left-back when the window opens? Benjamin Mendy's latest knee surgery will keep him out until February it is estimated and City are short of cover in that position.
Atletico Madrid's Filipe Luis has been mentioned as a short-term option, with the 33-year-old out of contract with the La Liga side at the end of the season.
But 69% of City fans would rather Guardiola avoided the temptation to make a move for the Brazilian when the transfer window opens.

Documentary On Young Whitney Houston In Production; Audra McDonald EPs – Deadline
EXCLUSIVE: Production is underway on a documentary about Whitney Houston, which will explore the iconic singer before she became an international superstar.
Whitney Houston In Focus, directed and produced by Benjamin Alfonsi, is based on an upcoming book on Houston by photographer Bette Marshall, who met the future sensation when Houston was an unknown 18-year-old, before she signed her record deal with Clive Davis and Arista Records.
Audra McDonald, the Emmy, Grammy and six-time Tony-winning actress and singer, will narrate the documentary and serve as executive producer.
"Whitney Houston is an artist I worshipped from the moment I first heard her sing. Her voice was simply miraculous and her artistry was perfection," McDonald said. "We all witnessed her superstardom, and I'm honored to help tell this part of Whitney's story, before it all began."
Photographer Bette Marshall, author of Young Whitney Houston
Cinergistik
Marshall will feature in the documentary, described as a "cinematic photo story of a photographer and her young muse." Marshall, whose photographic subjects have included Queen Elizabeth II and Nelson Mandela, gained a unique perspective on Houston as she went from New Jersey teenager to one of the top-selling recording artists in history.
"[Marshall] was given unprecedented access by the Houston family to document Whitney's rise to fame," according to a release. "Over the subsequent years, Marshall's camera followed the young singer to early auditions and recording sessions, and even to church."
Whitney Houston in Focus is being produced by Cinergistik, formerly Metabook Entertainment. Ken Siman and Christian Alfonsi will serve as co-executive producers on the film.
Marshall's book, titled Young Whitney Houston, will be released in February 2020, commemorating the 10-year anniversary of Houston's shocking death on February 11, 2010. Houston was found unconscious in her room at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, just hours before she was due to appear at Davis's annual pre-Grammy party.
The book, Davis said, "captures all the beauty, promise and love of life that was indeed Whitney when I first met her." The Grammy Museum will initially be the exclusive seller of the hardback edition of Young Whitney Houston.
The tentative release date for the documentary is early 2022. Distribution plans will be revealed at a later date. Several documentaries have been made about Houston following her death, including the 2017 film Whitney: Can I Be Me, directed by Nick Broomfield and Rudi Dolezal. But Whitney Houston in Focus is the first that will "reveal rare photos and personal stories of an up-and-coming Whitney Houston."

All The Echo Easter Eggs In Hawkeye Episode 3 Explained


Ben Dubh feels like a 'proper' hill – the views of Loch Lomond, the ridges of the Luss hills around it and, oh yeah, the 2000ft of ascent in a little under 2 miles. For short race it packs a punch. Yet another brilliant Westies turnout – 27 runners plus more than a few marshals, will it go higher next week?
The start of the course had changed, replacing the twisty paths through the woods with a muddy track up to the left. Once you got past that it was the same old unrelenting Ben Dubh. Thanks to the rain it was more treacherous than usual underfoot and I was ruing my shoe choice – my well-loved X-Talons aren't the best in the mud and I enjoyed a couple of slips and face-plants as a result.
I spent most of the ascent at the back of the top-10 staring at the tattoos on Stuart Crutchfield's calves. He was <10s in front of me at the top but, as befitting a Lochaber man, he rinsed me on the descent. I lost one place right near the summit but managed to hold my own on the descent, opening up space on the more runnable sections. Andy Jackson from Shettleston caught me at the top gate, I was determined not to be beaten here and busted a gut to stay with him. This seemed to work until I went the wrong way on the final corner had to semi-double-back on myself and lost precious seconds. Brian Marshal passed me on the final slope (no shame in that right?) but I was able to hold off Micky Anderson to finish in 11th place. Given the conditions I was happy with my time, but gutted I lost those two places at the end largely down to my own foolishness.
At the sharp end there was Westies success galore. Sam won the race by a country mile and Gregor came in an impressive third. There was a ladies' 1-2-3 thanks to Ruth, Sophie & Lorna respectively. Lorna was also 1st FV50 and Gordon took the V60 prize. Amazing results!


Kandan Ramakrishnan, Steven Scholte, Victor Lamme, Arnold Smeulders, Sennay Ghebreab; Convolutional Neural Networks in the Brain: an fMRI study. Journal of Vision 2015;15(12):371. doi: 10.1167/15.12.371.
Biologically inspired computational models replicate the hierarchical visual processing in the human ventral stream. One such recent model, Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) has achieved state of the art performance on automatic visual recognition tasks. The CNN architecture contains successive layers of convolution and pooling, and resembles the simple and complex cell hierarchy as proposed by Hubel and Wiesel. This makes it a candidate model to test against the human brain. In this study we look at 1) where in the brain different layers of the CNN account for brain responses, and 2) how the CNN network compares against existing and widely used hierarchical vision models such as Bag-of-Words (BoW) and HMAX. fMRI brain activity of 20 subjects obtained while viewing a short video clip was analyzed voxel-wise using a distance-based variation partitioning method. Variation partitioning was done on successive CNN layers to determine the unique contribution of each layers in explaining fMRI brain activity. We observe that each of the 7 different layers of CNN accounts for brain activity consistently across subjects in areas known to be involved in visual processing. In addition, we find a relation between the visual processing hierarchy in the brain and the 7 CNN layers: visual areas such as V1, V2 and V3 are sensitive to lower layers of the CNN while areas such as LO, TO and PPA are sensitive to higher layers. The comparison of CNN with HMAX and BoW furthermore shows that while all three models explain brain activity in early visual areas, the CNN additionally explains brain activity deeper in the brain. Overall, our results suggest that Convolutional Neural Networks provide a suitable computational basis for visual processing in the brain, allowing to decode feed-forward representations in the visual brain.


REVENGE Gets Renewal Pick-Up By ABC For Fourth Season!
Revengers, great news! ABC began to announce the primetime series that are renewed for the 2014-2015 season late yesterday and the soap opera in the Hamptons, Revenge has indeed received a pick-up to continue on for its fourth season!
And the news comes at the perfect time as this Sunday May 11th (10PMEST/PST) the series wraps-up its third season with an episode that is sure to leave us hanging and wanting to more entitled, "Execution"!
Revenge was one of ten shows thus far that got their renewals from ABC including Scandal, Grey's Anatomy, Resurrection, Once Upon A Time and Castle!
The question today is, will we learn the fate of the Music City drama Nashville? Critics believe the show is on the bubble and it could go either way!
So, happy to hear more Revenge is on the way for a fourth season? Let us know!
James Scott On His Decision To Leave DAYS: "I Just Felt, And Have For Some Time,That I Needed A Break!"
Willkommen To Ze Nurses Ball! Dr. Obrecht Hijacks The Opening Number On Day One!
Yes Yes so happy that Revenge got renewed, please cancel Nashville that show has gone down hill fast. I hope Jonathan Jackson comes back to gh as Lucky Spencer.
I'm glad that Revenge got renewed for another season.However i think next season might be it's last but now the show has a year to wrap everything up.
REVENGE's renewal pleases me. Seems the story is back on track, although I miss some of the more sunny ways early chapters played out in Hamptons glory in Season 1. Recent episodes seem so dark and et in abandoned buildings and under cloudy skies. Admittedly this is the mod of the 'hood where the Graysons reside but I'd like some more glam. the speed plotting is a bit cray-cray, too, but I guess it is what it is, no?
Will be interesting to see how the stories hang on the cliff after Sunday… and what fate is there for the prisoned Conrad (Is he done?) And Aiden (for the actor was associated with a pilot I think was picked up for series)?
Excellent news! Love the show…Soooo hoping NASHVILLE gets picked up, which if I had to make a choice I'd choose over REVENGE (though I do love them both) and DRACULA. C'mon ABC!
So looking forward to Sunday's episode. Emily and Victoria rule the screen together!
Great news! Looking forward to next season!


The currency of Bahrain is the dinar, which can be subdivided into 1000 fils. The dinar replaced the Gulf rupee in 1965, at 10 rupee = 1 dinar. The Kingdom of Bahrain (its official title) is an Arab constitutional monarchy in the Persian gulf which sits in between Saudi Arabia and the Qatar Peninsula. Bahrain is a country made up of 33 islands in total, with the main island being Bahrain Island. There is a 25km causeway which joins Bahrain to the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia. It costs around BD2 to go through the toll gate, and the views at sunset are not to miss!.
In the late 1800's Bahrain was a protectorate of the United Kingdom, but later declared independence in 1971. Now it is known for its garment manufacturing industry, oil production and beautiful natural scenery.
The name Bahrain means "the two seas". The meaning of the two seas has been historically disputed, but is commonly now thought to mean the two bays east and west of the island.
The Bahraini Dinar is the official currency of Bahrain. The ISO 4217 currency code for the Bahraini Dinar is BHD.


Welcome to the Curious Collective Shawl Project! "What is this project?", you ask!
Do you remember those "choose your own adventure" books as a kid, where you chose what the main character in the book would do next and the ending was up to you?
Well that is how we are going to design this shawl.
Each week I will give you a choice about different aspects of the design and I will design the shawl according to what you vote for! It is a knit along unlike any other!
The Curious Collective Shawl project is going to start on Monday 13 May when I will reveal more details.
In the meantime, if you would like to be notified by email about details of the Project, please sign up to my newsletter Curious Yarns.
We're having another knit along (KAL) over on the Curious Handmade board on Ravelry – this time for my Radiance Shawl Pattern. Many of the participants are also doing the Stash and Burn UILI (Use it or Lose It!) challenge – but you don't have to be participating in that to join in the KAL.
The KAL is going to run for 10 weeks, ending on Friday 28 June and I will draw prizes on the Monday after that for everyone who has posted a finished Radiance in the prize thread. That will give people a week to knit 10% which is do-able. And the pattern has a nice checklist version that shows what percentage you are up to. Now, if joining in on the fun and destashing a huge amount of yardage wasn't incentive enough I have some super-cute prizes. Considering that a lot of participants are trying to destash I thought I would be kind and have some non-yarn prizes this time!
First prize is this gorgeous little Hello Kitty Liberty case. Its about 18cm wide and perfect for storing collections of little goodies.
Second prize is a lovely painted tin, about 16cm wide – also great for storing little bits and bobs.
Third prize is this stunning, unapologetically purple Posh Yarn Silvia (50% merino, 50% silk) in colourway Tour de Force. Well, I have to do some UILI too!
So come on over and join in the fun creating your own Radiance Shawl.
We had a relaxed Sunday last weekend, hanging out at home, letting the first sunny day of spring warm us up.
While we ate a simple lunch of bread, ham and cheese I watched with fascination as the magnolia blooms started opening up.
When we bought the house neither Steve or I had a clue what this tree in our garden was and it has turned out to be the biggest gift we could have received.
There was a gentle breeze when I was taking these pics which gives it a bit of a weird effect!
Lunch was made even more delicious with Lotta's chutney and jam. I love jam! Rhubarb and vanilla – yum! Thank you Lotta.
Speaking of eating, the babe enjoyed her home made spag bol. That girl really likes her pasta. Like, a lot!
I love how this pic captures her innocence and love for life. I wish I could put my whole face into my food sometimes!
Then I discovered my two peony plants weren't completely lost (like many, many of my other gardening disasters). I learnt from Katie that's just what they do – and I should look for little red shoots. I'm encouraged from that video that a cold winter means more blooms. There may still be an upside of that ridiculous winter we had! I think they look beautiful already!
And my orchid that I bought from the supermarket a few years ago is rewarding me for totally ignoring and neglecting it with yet more beautiful blooms. Without a doubt the best £6.99 I ever spent on a plant. I learnt a tip from a green fingered colleague that the trick is to chop off the stalks from the blooms when they have finished. It seems to work!
After all that gardening taking pictures of flowers I hung out in the hammock with the girls, thinking about how lucky I am. Until they got too rowdy.
Look at those delicious toes!! i could just gobble them up.
We started the Twinkle Twinkle Blanket knitalong (KAL) over at the Curious Handmade Ravelry group in February, on Valentines Day. This must have set the KAL off to a loved-up start because we had such a great time. I learnt a lot about the pattern myself with some fantastic ideas for different cast-ons and cast-offs. I even made my first YouTube video to demonstrate the star stitch – so funny!
I want to give a shout out to all the participants and give a special mention to the prize winners – have a look at their beautiful blankets.
I love this colour. RachelNZ – obviously she lives in New Zealand – made this one in an amazing green.
What is even more amazing was that she had a little bub during the KAL ….and still finished her (knitting) project! (Actually at least one other participant had a baby during the KAL too – so cool!). Ahhhh.
JCEllison make this lovely blanket and then gave it away as part of a baby shower basket of goodies for a charity raffle. Whoever won that was very lucky!
This one by lizandrsn made me smile – look at all those pins! That is dedication to blocking! And Liz made two blankets during the KAL so she was a deserved winner.
I finally finished mine just today (although its still not blocked) ….and look how much yarn I had left over!! Phew!
The yarn is Fyberspates Faery Wings in the Stormy Sky colour way. I really enjoyed knitting with this yarn.
As many of you know, I have been a huge fan of the Stash and Burn podcast for a few years now. I can't remember when I started listening to Nicole and Jenny, but they were the first podcast I listened to and are still my favourite.
So I am really happy to be sponsoring one of their events this month. It's called "Use it or Lose It" and the link (to the Ravelry group) explains more about it. Basically the goal is to look at your stash and think about the things that have been there for awhile and either use it in a project or lose it in some way, by selling, giving or donating it. You could always throw it out in extreme circumstances I guess – but who in their right mind could throw out yarn?! Unsurprisingly most people are opting to "use it". The project is going for the whole year so you can jump in any time.
Last month, one of the knitters suggested my Radiance Shawl pattern as a possible project (which I was super flattered by) so I've set up a knit-a-long on my Curious Handmade Group for anyone who wants to join in (its not just for people doing UILI of course). I haven't quite worked out the details yet but stay posted.
If you are visiting from Stash and Burn, "Helloooooooo"!!
Note: I want to disclose that I am partnering with Craftsy. This means that if you click on the link to Craftsy from my site and buy something from them I will benefit from that financially. So if you do, then thank you! I appreciate it as it helps me keep my designs and site going.
There is nothing nicer than getting together with crafty friends for an afternoon of chatting, making things, drinking tea and catching up on each other's lives.
Here are my tips for a lovely crafternoon tea!
However many you can fit around the table. The more the merrier.
Note: Do not attempt this in the months of January (no one is eating cake), August (everyone is away), or December (everyone is mentally busy, either crafting top secret gifts and therefore can't craft in public or has other committments).
If you're having trouble getting people together, www.doodle.com is a nifty scheduling tool I've discovered recently.
You can even serve bubbles or wine if you don't have to deal with kids dinner/bedtime afterwards (ah the good old days).
Please admire the gorgeous tea cosy by the lovely and talented Ting.
It doesn't matter if it turns out a little wonky! Or even if you don't have time to ice your cupcakes. It will all look lovely on pretty plates (see point number 1).
Expanding the list of things to make and stash to acquire is really the whole point of a crafternoon tea. And to eat cake of course. If you're lucky you might fit in a few rows of knitting.
We really think Ting should write up the pattern to this adorable hat-and-cowl in one. Don't you agree?
At the end, we reluctantly pack up our projects and eagerly plan for our next gathering. Before December!
After our annual Easter Egg hunt with the gang (ten kids!) on Friday we jumped in the car to drive to "The North". The destination was The Bivouac in the Yorkshire Dales.
It was dark when we arrived and we crunched our way across a snowy field and through the trees to the woodland shack at the end of the trail. There we discovered the gorgeously named Teasel Burrow where the woodburning stove was just starting to heat up the cosy shack. Steve's sister and boyfriend had already arrived and settled in. Even with four adults and two kids there was enough space.
There was a thick layer of snow over the field in front of the shack. It felt like the depths of winter and not the beginning of spring.
Inside the shack was comfortable and welcoming. Everything was designed with perfect attention to detail – from a welcoming Easter decoration to the curving organic wooden structure of the shack itself. We enjoyed sitting around the table in the warm candlelight from the many lanterns.
There was a bathroom with a loo and shower. The water is heated by the woodburning stove and takes a couple of hours to heat up so we ended up using the communal shower block, mainly there for the people staying in the yurts. It was without a doubt the most luxurious camp ground shower block I've ever seen. Bespoke organic toiletries from the Bivouac Apothecary and hairdryers. Definitely on the glam side of "glamping"!
The three tiered sleeping area provided bedding for seven and an adventure playground for the kids.
We had an outing to the ruins of Middleham Castle, about a twenty minute drive away. Even in its deserted state the castle is still a spectacular building.
Afterwards, we headed back to the Bivouac Cafe for lunch with some old friends who had driven down from Cumbria to meet us.
The food was delicious, nourishing and fresh, cooked by a chef onsite. Not your typical camping meal of half -burnt smokey sausages with soggy bread (not that there's anything wrong with that).
The owners, Beth and Sam Hardwick are welcoming and warm and their amazing vision for this special place really shines through. Beth talks about their experience setting it up in this article at The Ethical Traveller and I am so impressed by what they have achieved.
We drove back to London feeling relaxed and restored, already planning our next trip to "the Biv". Maybe in summer this time to enjoy more of the walking the area has to offer.


Grab a FREE EP from progressive rock band, Henry Fool!
Henry Fool is an English progressive rock band that use elements of jazz and post-rock in their music. Their music draws on 1970s British progressive rock but with other influences drawn from 1980s art-rock, 1990s post-rock and elsewhere.
The core members of the band are Tim Bowness (vocals, guitars) and Stephen Bennett (keyboards, guitar). Other members - at various times - have been Michael Bearpark (guitar), Peter Chilvers (bass guitar, keyboards, guitar), Myke Clifford (saxophones, flute), and drummers Fudge Smith (Pendragon/Steve Hackett Band), Huxflux Nettermalm (Paatos), Andrew Booker, Richard Osbourne and Diego Mancini.
The Free Henry Fool Download EP comprises the video edit of "Everyone In Sweden" from Men Singing, two Steven Wilson mixed tracks from Henry Fool's long-deleted 2001 debut (the 25 time oddity "Poppy Q" and the song "Heartattack"), plus an exclusive unreleased piece, "A Canterbury Scene".
As its title suggests, this tasty 'taster' download EP is available for free here.
Produced by Bennett/Bowness, except Track 3, produced by Bennett.


In light of events and discussions on college campuses across the country, it is important for us to remember that we strive to emphasize diversity in every sense at Hofstra: in our classrooms, in our campus life and in all aspects of our community. Education and awareness of our history, our cultures and customs allow us to understand and respect one another. It is at the foundation of a liberal arts education and the basis for living in a democratic society. We also believe that a college campus must be a safe space, a place where students can explore who they are and who they will become, living with and learning from people of all backgrounds.
Our university calendar is built around diversity and the issues that surround it, from the celebration of our cultural awareness months to academic programs in African, Latin American and Caribbean, LGBT, women's and other cross-cultural studies, religion, and global studies. The Cultural Center produces programming for African-American History Month, Latin American and Caribbean Studies lectures, Issues in Judaism, to name a few, as well as the Astman Concert Series, which features global music. Our office of Intercultural Engagement and Inclusion encourages and facilitates the efforts of dozens of student groups, representing numerous cultural identity and interest groups. Just this week, our National Center for Suburban Studies hosted its seventh annual diversity awards dinner, celebrating the unique diversity of America's first suburb.
Our work, however, is not done. As long as there is injustice anywhere, we must be vigilant in educating, discussing and creating awareness and understanding around issues of diversity. A diverse and free community is critical to the success of a great university, and Hofstra University has long had a sustained commitment to fostering an atmosphere of tolerance, understanding and interconnection with each other and with the world around us – local, national and international.
To have an open exchange about diversity means we must be equally committed to dialogue, the difficult discourse that leads to a greater understanding between people. We cannot shy away from talking about diversity and multiculturalism, but it is often words that lead to the divisions between us. Speech on campus must remain free and open, while each of us pledge to maintaining the kind of civil and respectful discourse for which great universities are known, and from which knowledge and acceptance comes.
We will remain unwavering in our commitment to making our campus welcoming, inclusive and diverse. We are and will continue to be available to discuss, listen and make our campus, and ultimately our world, a better place.

York Academy charter high school to open this summer
Students will soon be roaming the halls of the new York Academy Regional Charter School high school building, scheduled to open for incoming classes this August.
York Academy charter high school to open this summer Students will soon be roaming the halls of the new York Academy Regional Charter School high school building, scheduled to open for incoming classes this August. Check out this story on yorkdispatch.com: http://www.yorkdispatch.com/story/news/2018/07/20/york-academy-charter-high-school-open-summer/790366002/

The charter, with students from 11 county school districts, has been adding grade levels since 2011 and is now entering its eighth year.
Construction of the upper school was slated for completion last week, according to a May 16 update on the academy's website, but charter CEO Dennis Baughman said crews are still adding the finishing touches.
Back in November, the charter was $379,000 under its construction budget for the school, built across the Codorus Creek from its current building at 32 W. North St.

More: Officials: York Academy expansion on schedule, under budget
As the the approximately $22 million project nears completion, Baughman does not yet have a final tally, but he anticipates it will be finished under budget.
There will be a reception Tuesday, July 24, at Warehaus in York City for those who gave significant contributions to the charter's capital campaign — names which Baughman said he has not released publicly yet.
York Academy families will be welcomed at an open house Aug. 2, before faculty members report to school Aug. 6 and students join them a week later.
The long haul: The 65,000-square-foot expansion has been two years in the making.
The charter purchased the former Pensupreme Dairy building for $695,000 about two years ago and demolished it to make room for the new high school.

By November 2017, the charter's foundation was planning to secure a bond for the project, but agenda minutes show the closing of the deal was delayed several times before finally being approved earlier this year.
The holdup came from efforts to get a better rate, as well as a waiting game to see if Congress would retain tax-free bonds for nonprofits — something the charter was counting on.
Lawmakers did retain the option, and a $35 million tax-free bond was ultimately issued — part of it set aside to cover the high school project and the other part used to purchase the charter's current building, which it had been leasing.
In early 2018, the charter received a $5 million grant for the upper school from the state Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program.

Capital campaigns: The York Academy also had organized capital campaigns to help support the expansion.
A 2016 capital campaign sought $7 million to help cover real estate costs so the charter would still have adequate funding for programming.
Of that cost, $4 million would go toward the purchase the lower school building (which the charter did following the bond issue) to reduce operational and monthly lease expenses, $2 million would create an endowment for long-term program funding and $1 million would address needed building maintenance.

A $3 million capital campaign launched in January.
Now that the building purchase and subsequent construction has been funded, it's a matter of making up for tuition and revenue from a school that will not have full enrollment for another few years, Baughman said.
"If we can bridge a three-year gap, we will be completely self-sustainable," reads the literature for the "We're Building Something Great" campaign.
The first year will see grades eight and nine in the new building, Baughman said, with one grade added each year for the next three years.
Essentially, the charter is paying for the whole building with only two fifths of its expected enrollment, he said.
Interested investors can buy into naming various buildings on the high school's campus, according to the website.
Businesses, individuals or those who wish to name a building in memory of a loved one have the option of short-term or long-term investments, which would temporarily name the facilities.
Long-term,15-year naming options range from suggested amounts of $80,000 to $300,000; and short-term, five-year investments range from $25,000 to $150,000.
Give Local York: York Academy Board of Trustees member and Give Local York organizer Meagan Feeser said the school was involved in this year's 24-hour giving spree.
On May 4, the charter participated in Big Give Day, ending as the the No. 3 top performer, with $56,110 raised.

As part of the campaign and Give Local York, students also participated in "penny wars," with a goal of $5,000 to send teachers to spend the night on the school's roof. The goal was met, and five teachers/staff members were transported by York City Fire Department ladder and retrieved the next morning.

It was away of "supporting the school that supports them," Feeser said.
Looking ahead: The charter plans to have a full four-year high school by 2022, but for now, the focus is on bringing in this year's new class.
Baughman said he is looking forward to implementing the International Baccalaureate program in the new school.
York Academy is currently authorized to offer the IB program to grades K-5, and an authorization for grades six through 10 should come in the next couple of months, he said.
The "extremely academically rigorous" program goes beyond regular AP course offerings and gives students college credits — a great opportunity for those who might have their sights set on Ivy League schools, Feeser said.

It's one of the aspects of York Academy education that makes the school stand out from others, and Feeser said she hopes the location of the new school will serve to make its programming and successes more visible.
"One of the biggest things that we've noticed," she said, looking back on her three years on the board, is a lack of understanding from the public about the identity of the school.
Some don't understand what it means to be a charter, she said, and the board has spent a lot of time to try to educate the community on the school as a public, nonprofit institution.
Feeser hopes having a new high school building in an area that's a gateway to downtown York City will "further that conversation," she said.

Add a set of new alloy wheels to your Volvo and give your car a new and improved look. As alloy wheels are lighter in weight than standard wheels, they offer better steering and overall handling, faster performance when accelerating and more efficiency when braking – and importantly, lower fuel consumption; a key factor these days.
These top-quality wheels are made from extra-strong alloy and are very hardwearing. In addition to all the advantages including visual impact, new alloy wheels on your car also offer enhanced safety as they help to prevent brake fade, because of their better heat conduction and air flow design. Whether you drive an S60, a V70 or a new XC90, or any model in between, we can help. Please call us on 01268 560126 if you have any questions or require further information or wish to place an order. We will be delighted to assist.


What stage is your Startup currently in?
Ideation - you have the problem, solution, business model etc well defined but you haven't built any POC nor have you launched the product in the market.
Proof of Concept - you have a POC version of product ready and able to give a demo but product is yet to launch in the market.
Beta launched - product has been launched in the market to a small set of beta customers. Product may undergo few iterations before it is taken out of beta and 1.0 is released.
Early Revenues - product is launched and it has started generating revenues from few customers but revenue may be sporadic in nature.
Steady Revenues - there is steady customer base which is generating steady revenues for the company month on month or year on year.
What type of business are you in (B2B vs B2C)?
You are a B2B Startup if your customers are typically other businesses or companies, NOT individuals. On the other hand, if your customers are typically individuals, then you are a B2C Startup. For example, Freshdesk is a B2B company and PhonePe is a B2C company.
There is also a category B2B2C where you first sell to businesses who in-turn have individuals as the customers. If your startup falls in this category, you should still choose B2B in your Startup profile on LetsVenture.
How to invite a Team member or Investor to LetsVenture platform?
When you add a team member to your LetsVenture Startup profile, his/her details will be instantly added and shown into your Startup profile. However, if you want the team member (e.g. co-Founder) to be able to edit your Startup profile as well, he/she needs to create his login/password on LetsVenture. To be able to do this just check the checkbox for "invite team member to LetsVenture" and also "give Admin privilege" checkbox. He/She will receive an account creation link from LetsVenture, once he fills all his/her details we ask, he will have his independent login/password and will be able to edit your Startup profile as well.
Note that the above process also applies when you add investors in your round information tab and check the "invite to LetsVenture" checkbox. The Investor will receive a signup link from LetsVenture and after filling up the information, an investor onboarding person from LetsVenture will talk to him/her and get his onboarded to LetsVenture.
What are the Traction Metrics on LetsVenture?
You can choose any of the following Traction Metrics while updating Traction data in your Startup Profile on LetsVenture. Note that if you have a custom metric that doesn't match any of the below ones, you can use that too.
CAC - Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC) is simply the average money you spend in obtaining a customer.
LTV - The amount of sales amount that a customer will spend with your company over their lifetime.
MRR - It is the recurring revenue, normalized, over a period of a month.
ARR - It is the recurring revenue, normalized, over a period of a year.
ARPU - Average Revenue per User/Unit is calculated by dividing the Total MRR by the total number of customers or accounts.
Churn rate - the churn rate is the rate at which your customers are canceling their subscriptions.
See following links from Chargebee website for details on the SaaS metrics.
GMV - Gross Merchandise Value is used in online retailing to indicate total sales amount for merchandise sold through a particular marketplace over a certain time frame.
Sessions - session is counted as the time period during which user is actively engaged with your website.
Bounce Rate - the percent of visits that are single-page only (i.e. people who visit one page and leave).
No of downloads/install - from the android play store and Apple app store.
NPS - Net Promoter Score (NPS) is a management tool that can be used to gauge the loyalty of a firm's customer relationships. It serves as an alternative to traditional customer satisfaction research and is claimed to be correlated with revenue growth. An NPS can be as low as −100 (every respondent is a "detractor") or as high as +100 (every respondent is a "promoter").


Call it art, call it science, call it candy making, call it crafting, call it inventing or what we like to call it is CREATIVITY.
Our creativity classes focus on the process of letting ourselves be creative. Each class starts with one skill or project in mind. Once that skill has been completed the class opens up to to more of an open forum of sharing creating and discussing of new mediums. We also take suggestions for future projects.
Classes are available for all ages. As of now, classes are held on Saturdays at Tammy's home in Northglenn. Contact us at devynayre@gmail.com for a schedule of available class times.
