Any trip to the Upper East Side should include a stop at Flora Bar. Located in The Met Breuer, Ignacio Mattos' uptown restaurant is easily the best place in the neighborhood for an exceptional meal in a casual(ish) setting.
Flora Bar is not a fine-dining restaurant, but it has everything one would want from that kind of place: impeccable food and service in a remarkably handsome setting. A visit there always feels like something special.
The service is friendly yet attentive in an eagle-eyed way. The food is always beautiful without being fussy, and it's fun to eat, very much what Mattos is known for.
Similar to his downtown restaurants, the menu is dominated by small plates. At Flora Bar, there's a focus on seafood and seasonal produce. Some favorites include the red shrimp with sea urchin and nori, tuna tartare with sunflower and hijiki, and the omelette with hackleback and trout roe (word has it that this dish is the most difficult to make). Of course, there's always oysters for the purists.
The burrata salad with fennel and Meyer lemon is bright and decadent. The endive salad is striking and, lucky for all of us, seems to be a menu staple.
You'll also find yourself a perfect burger here. The bread (house-made sourdough) and butter should never be passed up, and the same goes for dessert. Never skip dessert here. Two current obsessions are the mandarin sorbet with coconut, and the Jerusalem artichoke and chocolate parfait. Yes, there are vegetables in your dessert and you will never think about sunchokes the same. Everything on the menu is interesting, satisfying, and happy-making.
It's a beautiful space, no matter the time of day or year. In the warmer months, sitting out in the sunken garden is lovely. Daytime light hits the space perfectly (even in the winter) and at night their lights are equally flattering. The restaurant can easily distract from the museum, and it's certainly possible to skip the art altogether, but why do that?
Their cafe, Flora Coffee, serves coffee and pastries (including the best sticky bun in the city) and takeaway sandwiches from 10-5:30. The restaurant serves lunch from 11:30-3:30. Dinner starts at 5pm. Closed Mondays.

My that LGBT community has fewer rights
Topic: Family, Life & Experiences › Marriage
My major revision on the unit one, Advocacy Essay, is changing my argument from support the same-sex marriage in United States to advocate same-sex marriage law to pass in a global scale. Furthermore, I've also made some adjustment on my evidences, sentences structure, grammar, as well as my examples. By revising the argument, not only it could provide more hardships and situations that LGBT community have encountered, also it gives us the different views on LGBT community from country to country. Furthermore, my original argument does not have a solid evidence that LGBT community has fewer rights than heterosexual people on marriage sense because of the court case 'Obergefell v. Hodges', the U.
S supreme judge's ruling that led to legalize the homosexual marriage nationwide. Moreover, in my first advocacy essay, my argument did not support by the body paragraph because I focused too much on foreign countries' LGBT marriage rights. Therefore, the evidences I chose for my first advocacy essay was irrelevant to my thesis.
By changing the argument, I could make the evidences seemingly irrelevant for my original Advocacy essay to support my second argument. Furthermore, I was able to reveal some countries have some extreme prosecution for homosexuality which could potentially have the emotional effect on the audience. By making the audience feel sympathy for other human beings not deserving the punishments they have, audience would start thinking the rationality for people to receive punishment just because who they are.
Then, I have chosen to balance out tone of my essay by choosing the countries that illegalized homosexual marriage, and comparing to the countries that legalized homosexual marriage, which it reveals and supports the center of my argument because by comparing the two different approaches from different governments' actions toward homosexuals, we can see the cruelty and violence from the governments that exercise death penalty for homosexals, in contrary to the governments that exercise democracy and freedom to all their citizens. Furthermore, those countries serve as my evidences that overall countries that passed the same-sex marriage law are relatively more civilized than those countries were not. Additionally, by revealing the oppression in the countries that have hatred toward LGBT community, it raises a question which is why do such things to other human beings.
By making the audience think about this question, it will effectively support my argument. Moreover, my rearrangement of sentence structure and grammar, in my opinion, makes the Advocacy essay easier to read. In my original Advocacy, audience could easily not get the idea I was trying to convey to them because sometime the tense of the verb did not agree with the previous tense. For example, "If we looked back in time, it would seem a big improvement for Russia." , the sentence did not work as I intended on the audience, and it was confusing. After a long thought, I omitted this sentence because it is not important and not well connect to the paragraph.
Therefore, making some adjustments to the sentence structure is one of the way to make my essay more clear to the audience, consequently, more effectively on persuading them because when the audience clearly understands the intention of the author, then, they are forming a bond that connects like a conversation from a friend to friend. Lastly, I have also made some adjustments for examples due to the change in argument. The last portion before the conclusion that was describing the people in the opposing would say about legalizing the same-sex marriage, for example, was deleted because it seems irrelevant to the argument of legalizing the same-sex marriage. Insead of focus on the negative part of the opposing side would say, mostly untrue and stereotype, in my opinion, it would have more effectiveness if it were to focus on the positive side of enforcing the same-sex marriage law worldwide. Furthermore, I also add the negative effect on LGBT groups due to the lack of marriage law. The collation between LGBT teens and suicide rate would further raise up people's awareness because in many countries LGBT communities are invisible to majority people in result of their government control. It would further have the impact on people's emotion because most people do not want to relate youth to suicide and want to prevent that from happening.
Therefore, supporting the same-sex marriage would decrease oppression on LGBT community, therefore, decrease the suicide rate. After the revision, my advocacy essay is more clear on my argument and main ideas. Furthermore, the essay is easier to read and more comprehensible. In addition, the evidence I added making the essay more effective on the audience, in my opinion. The sentence structure is somewhat better than the original advocacy essay.
Overall, I am pretty satisfied with that I have done in unit four 'revision'.

Digangana Suryavanshi gets evicted
Tv Talks Networks, 8 December 20158 December 2015
Known for her TV show 'Ek Veer Ki Ardaas…Veera' Bigg Boss 9 contestant Digangana Suryavanshi is evicted from the show. On the basis of housemate's votes, Digangana got evicted as the voting lines for the viewers were closed this week. Priya Malik, the captain of the house was asked to nominate two people and she nominated Suyyash and Digangana. It is obvious that the housemates wanted Suyyash in the house more than Diggy and so voted her out of the show. Digangana's health (she was suffering from Typhoid) might also be one of the reasons for her exit. In an exclusive interview with TV Times, the 18-year old actress revealed that she is happy to be out of the house but also disappointed as her fans voted for her from the start. "I am happy to be out of the house as I was missing my family a lot, but at the same time I am a little disappointed as my fans really voted for me since day 1," said Digangana. When asked about who she feels will be the top 3 finalists, Diggy answered saying Mandana, Prince and Priya are strong contestants. The rapunzel of the house shared a great rapport with almost every housemate and said she will miss them all. On being asked about why she didn't have any opinion in the house, Diggy replied saying, "I was never a part of any group. I put forth my point when it was necessary and when I did, everybody did shut up." One her closeness with Rishabh, Digangana cleared the rumours saying, "No, I wasn't attracted to Rishabh. We had issues years back and so we took steps ahead to make each other comfortable. I wanted to give him a chance. So yes, if he was cool, I was cool." The beautiful actress is excited to spend time with her friends and family and yes can't wait to eat good food as she missed it the most.

It's one of the perennial questions facing the open source movement: Is Linux ready for the corporate desktop? Ready or not, Linux is coming.
Industry research company IDC predicts that enough companies will see the benefits of a Linux desktop to increase paid shipments of the operating system from 3.4 million clients worldwide in 2002 to more than 10 million by 2007, giving Linux a small but respectable six per cent of the desktop market.
"Linux captured the number two spot as desktop operating system in 2003," says IDC analyst Dan Kusnetzky. "IDC sees Linux maintaining that No. 2 position and growing ever so slightly - but not becoming a dominant force or even a major force."
Regardless of whether Linux will be a real threat to Windows on the desktop, the expected growth was enough to prompt Linux vendor Red Hat to introduce an enterprise-focused Red Hat Desktop product in May. Despite being the leading commercial Linux vendor, Red Hat actually lags behind Sun Microsystems' Linux desktop sales to enterprises. Last autumn, Sun began shipping its Java Desktop System, which is based on the SuSE Linux distribution. And SuSE itself has shipped a product for corporate users since March 2003, called the SuSE Linux Desktop. Since being acquired by Novell earlier this year, SuSE has been readying the Novell Linux Desktop, which will incorporate software from Novell's 2003 acquisition of Ximian.
"We're listening to customers, and we're listening to the market," says Novell CTO Alan Nugent. "And the market keeps saying, 'Why do I have to spend all of this money on licences for XYZ software when these 40,000 desktop machines are sitting here just running a mail client, a Web browser, and a couple of Citrix-served apps?' "
Good question. Unfortunately, it's still extremely difficult - if not impossible - to get solid data on Linux's TCO on the corporate desktop. And although the Linux desktop has strong appeal for some customers, it isn't for everyone.
In January of this year, systems integrator Eddie Bleasdale formed the Incubator Club, an informal group of IT managers who meet regularly to discuss their experiences with Linux and open source migrations. According to Bleasdale, current members of the club are engaged in pilot projects and even some large-scale Linux migrations, which could collectively total as many as 200,000 desktops.
According to Bleasdale, if IT managers take a long-term approach, the move to Linux desktops has enough benefits to make the switch worthwhile - from lower software licensing costs, to a slower hardware upgrade cycle, to increased efficiency owing to more secure, scalable, and reliable systems. "Your objective should be that, over a period of years, you should be able to reduce your costs of computing by 50 per cent," he says.
One major outstanding issue for any company looking to migrate to the Linux desktop, however, is application support. With command of more than 90 per cent of the desktop market, the Windows operating system is deeply entrenched. When one considers the legacy applications and Microsoft dependencies common to most enterprises, a move to Linux can quickly become a complicated proposition.
Take the Allied Irish Bank, which recently began the process of migrating 8,000 of its branch-office clients from Windows 3.1 to Sun's Linux-based Java Desktop System. Linux was appropriate for the bank's branch offices, which have a "definable functionality", says Michael Bowler, the bank's IT architecture manager. But with approximately 500 Windows-based applications in AIB's corporate offices, the bank has no plans to deploy Linux companywide.
"Corporate head-office environments tend to have a large, disparate application set. I'm not sure you could define the functionality," Bowler says. "It's a big elephant to chew."
Outside of small-business and home-office environments, this is a common story for Linux on the desktop. Larger enterprises are adopting tentatively but only in places where administrators can use it for a limited set of applications and where it offers a definite and compelling benefit, in call centres, technical workstations, or on point-of-sale terminals, for example.
For AIB, those clear and compelling benefits came from centralising data that had been distributed throughout the branch offices onto a more flexible back-end application architecture. "Our view was that centralising all of the data was the best way forward from a regulatory and compliance perspective," Bowler says.
Whereas complex, custom applications in particular may be difficult to migrate to Linux, more mainstream desktop productivity applications pose less of a challenge. The set of alternatives to Windows applications is growing, including Sun's StarOffice office productivity suite, the Mozilla browser, Novell's Evolution groupware client, OS virtualisation software such as VMWare Workstation, and CodeWeavers' CrossOver Office, which allows users to run Windows applications directly on Linux. With such alternatives available, users can experience a Linux desktop that closely resembles the Windows they are used to.
Compatibility software such as CrossOver Office can be enough to push some companies over to Linux. Digital animation studios Pixar, DreamWorks SKG, and Disney have moved a combined total of 2,400 of their technical workstations to Linux. They use the CodeWeavers product to run software that the studios cannot port to Linux themselves, such as Adobe Photoshop, according to CodeWeavers CEO Jeremy White.
"All their animators run Linux", White says. "They used to have a Windows computer and a Linux computer, and now they just have a Linux computer."
CrossOver Office isn't the only solution for delivering Windows applications to Linux users. Citrix's MetaFrame Access Suite and Tarantella's Secure Global Desktop can serve applications-hosted Windows machines to Linux clients. But all of these products require some tuning, or at least extra software licenses, to achieve parity with Windows. Even CodeWeavers' White agrees that Windows compatibility, in itself, still leaves users without a compelling reason to switch to Linux.
"Even if Linux were a drop-dead, perfectly compatible, just-as-good replacement for Windows, you wouldn't find a lot of people switching," White says. "You have to not just be good enough; you have to be compellingly different to take over the world."
For some, Linux is already more than good enough. Already in the process of moving the city's servers to Linux, the city of Bergen, Norway, expects to begin moving desktops in its 100 schools to the free operating system next year. For the city's head of technology, Ole-Bjørn Tuftedal, Linux on the desktop will mean less frequent hardware and software upgrades, a wider choice of software, and improved virus protection.
"There are many different costs that may not be apparent right away, but if you take them into consideration over a longer period, then they may pay off," Tuftedal says.
The city has already undergone two comprehensive user tests of Linux desktop systems. Users who were familiar with Windows were able to navigate through Linux's KDE (K Desktop Environment) and Gnome desktop interfaces. Linux proved to be a more secure architecture, as well. "Linux was easier to lock down, and the built-in security was stronger," Tuftedal says.
Tuftedal found that centralised system management under Linux had a number of advantages, including a good selection of administration tools. Patch management, for example, was easier and more reliable under SuSE Linux's YaST (Yet Another Setup Tool) online update software than with Microsoft's Systems Management Server 2.0.
"It's easier to set up all the clients to automatically download patches from a centralised server after the different patches have been vetted by us," Tuftedal says. But he's quick to note that the transition required some technical savvy. "Here the tools are used by skilled engineers where it pays to train them, if necessary, and the 'depth' of the tools is more important than a slick user interface."
It may take more than skilled administrators to support a large desktop Linux deployment, however. In some cases, hardware support can be an issue. Historically, support for the latest hardware under Linux has been spotty - but that's changing.
Some improvements derive from advancements in the Linux kernel itself. The forthcoming Novell Linux Desktop is expected to be based on the Linux 2.6 kernel, which has greatly improved support for plug-and-play devices when compared with the 2.4 kernel, according to Novell's Nugent, who says the difference is analogous to the difference between Windows NT and Windows XP. "[The 2.4 kernel] is a lot like NT in terms of desktop capabilities vis-à-vis plug-and-play," he says.
Improvements in the 2.6 kernel aside, most IT managers still agree that Linux lags behind Windows in hardware support - something that is particularly noticeable in esoteric areas such as laptop device drivers. But according to Bergen's Tuftedal, Linux now has enough support from hardware manufacturers to be viable.
"Hardware support was more of a problem some years ago," Tuftedal says. "Even though Linux isn't very large on the desktop, its market share is probably twice what Apple's is, so it does make a difference for hardware manufacturers."
One area where Linux has a distinct advantage over Windows is in support for older hardware.
Robert Duncan III, a technologist at Bacone College, is using Linux to extend the life span of 15 of the college's older desktop systems. Using a combination of Linux, a memory upgrade, and new CD-ROMs on 133MHz Pentium systems, his team has turned what would otherwise be obsolete hardware into serviceable Internet kiosks for the college's students.
"Those machines are ancient in the Windows world and would wind up in some landfill if it weren't for Linux," Duncan says. "Our users don't usually even notice it's a Pentium 133. With KDE, a common desktop manager, it looks like high-end software without needing high-end specs to match."
When asked to name the main barrier preventing more widespread Linux use on the desktop, Bergen's Tuftedal sounds a familiar refrain. "The real problems are with your important applications," he says.
Although Bergen has spent the last few years trying to reduce the number of dependencies on the applications it purchases, the city still has a number of legacy applications that will not run on Linux. "We either will have to incur the cost of porting them, incur the costs of switching to alternative software, or we will run them on Windows terminal servers," Tuftedal explains.
User experience and expectations are also a barrier, says Bacone's Duncan. "Users are not as savvy as they should be, and they have this perceived value that open source software can't be worth anything because it's free."
Ultimately, says the Incubator Club's Bleasdale, a move to Linux is about one thing: freedom of choice. But he is quick to add that IT managers do not have to jump directly into Linux in order to make the first step.
"The thing you don't want to do is look at all of your applications that run on Microsoft and say, 'Gee, why can't we run all of them,' and then throw in the towel," Bleasdale says.
A more reasonable first step, according to Bleasdale, would be to examine the possibility of moving to the Mozilla Web browser. That, in turn, will expose any dependencies the company's Web-based applications may have on Internet Explorer and can eliminate the security risks posed by IE.
"Microsoft has put itself into a real corner by integrating IE into Windows," Bleasdale explains. "Microsoft is in a really very difficult position with the problems of Internet Explorer. In fact, I think their only way out is to buy another company with a Web browser."
One by one, administrators can begin to migrate existing Windows applications to Linux. The open source Samba file-and-print server software, for example, can be used to create a cross-platform networking environment, whereas the StarOffice productivity suite can provide a free alternative to Microsoft Office. The ultimate goals, Bleasdale says, are to reduce application dependencies and costs.
"[Migrating to Linux] is not something that can be done overnight," Bleasdale notes. "People are going to have to go out and justify going through what will be a difficult process."

St Etienne striker Aubameyang reveals United contact over possible transfer
St Etienne striker Pierre Emerick Aubameyang has today revealed that both Manchester United and Manchester City have contacted him about a potential summer move away from the mid table French side.
The Gabon international came through the ranks at A.C Milan before taking in loan spells at Dijon, Lille and Monaco before finally joining Saint-Etienne in January 2011 on an initial loan deal.
The 23-year-old has enjoyed a fine start to the current Ligue 1 season, scoring eight times in 19 appearances for the ten time French champions.
His current side lie in mid-table, mainly due to the efforts of the influential striker, leading to interest from a number of clubs.
And while Aubameyang has insisted he won't be leaving in the current window, he left the door open for a summer switch.
Speaking to French magazine VertFoot, Aubameyang said; "I want to leave with everyone happy.
"I will not leave in this January window. There is contact with the two Manchester clubs and also clubs in Italy, especially Fiorentina and another big Italian club."
This comes amid reported interest from Newcastle United. However, all appears to have gone quiet on that front.
Quite how the pacy forward would fit in at United is unknown with United particularly well stocked in attack. Robin Van Persie, Wayne Rooney, Javier Hernandez and Danny Welbeck have all been vying for the two striker spots this season.
As with all the transfer stories at this time of the year, they should all be taken with a pinch of salt. However, Sir Alex Ferguson was reported to be considering splashing out on Borussia Dortmund striker Robert Lewandowski in the summer; meaning that a move for an attacker is not out of the question.
French-born Aubameyang, who caused a stir when warming up for a recent match against Lyon by wearing £2500 Swarovski crystal encrusted boots, appears destined to stay with Saint-Etienne for this window at least.
However, it seems highly likely that the Gabon international will move this summer. At 23, his best years are ahead of him and he will no doubt improve, meaning he could be an excellent purchase for whoever signs him in the near future.
Whether he will end up at United is questionable, considering the wealth of attacking options United have at their disposal and it would perhaps seem foolish to spend money on a position we are already strong in, when other areas are crying out for investment…midfield for example?

All computers become older with the years. The needs keep growing. So the laptop configurations must be changed and renewed. Of course, you can buy the coolest and high-end laptop at the moment. Nevertheless, everything changes. One way or another, your equipment becomes older, whatever good it was before. Do you have an old laptop? Do you want to make money from your old laptop? If you have old laptop, you should think of trading it for one or another reason. What about upgrade? It would be great to learn your laptop's possibilities before trading it. Maybe, you will like this new solution!
You do not think long. Of course, laptops upgrade is more complicated process than you think. There is one thing to remember, do not try to make upgrade of your new laptop – you may lose manufacturer's warranty. It is better to use your out-of-date equipment. So, what laptop details can be upgraded easily?
You can easily exchange your laptop processor into another one, with high stroking frequency. Pay attention to your processor family: analogous exchange is not problematic. It is important to remember about the laptop cooling system. To meet closer what you need to replace, try to find your laptop with another configurations. Thus, read more information about one or another processor of your concrete laptop model.
As far as processor is one of the main laptop component parts, you have to replace it carefully. You may ask professional help. The nearest service center can do this job for you. To replace professor on your own, you are obliged to buy term conductive paste, dry napkins and bolt driver. Many laptops has special panel for processor. Never forget to switch off battery and power supply.
Memory modules for laptops differ from standard memory sticks. They are traditionally called SODIMM: small outline dual-inline memory module. Before going to the shop to buy new details, you should learn all possible forms on the manufacturer's website – they can help to choose the right one.
Are you surprised? Speaking about the video card, it is consider to be one of those numerous devices that are hard to replace. Important: before buying a new powerful video card, try to explore the old video card model. It can be really difficult to unsolder it. So, you need professional help.
Everything depends on Winchester type. Pay attention to connectors and hard-drive factual size. You can take the Winchester out just after the laptop adapter was switched off. Traditionally, the most of Winchesters are established into special metallic frame. Do not forget to do the same. Having SSD Winchester, you can replace it with more powerful analogous equipment. You can also buy the outside Winchester – this is more than good solution in this case.
Learn the configurations first. So, you are ready to go to the shop or website and buy proper configuration for your laptop. The sizes are standard – it must be a problem for now. It is enough to move nothing but one bolt to open the cover. Never forget to switch off the battery and adapter. Having some difficulties with your panel, you should leave it untouched. As the Winchester, CD drive must be fixed up in a special place-frame.
If WLAN is in a firm of PCI-module, it is nothing difficult to upgrade it. If the module of your laptop s standard, it is better to learn carefully what is what. There are many cases when WLAN replacement is impossible for many reasons. There is no enough space for new bigger WLAN.
You can change the laptop matrix according to its type – polish or mat. You can also try to change the matrix resolution – it is too expensive to be true. Replacing display, it is important to stay away of stripe tail, connecting panel and video card. So, the most popular decision is asking for professional assistance.
Accumulator is not long-living detail of your computer. To make money from you old laptop, you should check the battery first. Sometimes, it has to be changed before trading your gadget. Of course, if you decided to replace it, you should choose the accumulator of more power and capacity. There is an alternative solution: people prefer buying a good outside battery or dock station to bargaining one trouble for another. There are many special services that can help you to change and restore just separate inside elements of your old battery.
You can also try to replace motherboard, including memory and processor. Speaking about the standard desktop computers, it is not difficult. Laptops cannot be pretended to do the same. You should work hard to find the proper detail, equal in size and characteristics. It is really problematic and not cheap, as well. This is the case, when it would be more convenient to sell your old gadget instead of upgrading it.
The laptop built-in equipment (modem, audio adapter, controllers) is hard to upgrade. Nevertheless, you can try to renew one or another module, if USD connector is available. The upgrade of keyboard and touchpad can be solved with the help of buying outside keyboard and computer mouse.
Laptop construction and characteristics. The market is full of analogous equipment to replace. Nevertheless, the bigger part of details can be unsuitable for size of configurations. Be careful.
Amateur work. Renewing laptop details on your own, you must have strong knowledge in technics. Otherwise, you may always ask service center to help you to upgrade or make money of your old laptop.
Price. As a rule, upgrade must be much cheaper than buying new laptop. Sometimes, the prices are equally big.
Generally speaking, upgrading your machine is a nice opportunity to make it work better. You may try and conclude. If you like your renewed laptop, you can enjoy it. The choice is yours, whether you laptop worth upgrading or making money from it.

CROSS REFERENCES TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
This application is related to copending U.S. application Ser. No. 11/395,690, filed Mar. 30, 2006, the complete disclosure of which is herein incorporated by reference.
This invention relates generally to the field of support pillows and, in particular, to support pillows that are intended to be placed around a variety of differently sized objects. More specifically, the invention relates to support pillows that may be manipulated to different configurations and automatically spring back to their original shape.
Over the years, a variety of support pillows have found commercial acceptance. Once exemplary support pillow is the Boppy® pillow, marketed by The Boppy Company. Various forms of this pillow are described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,261,134, 5,546,620, 5,661,861, and 6,055,657, among others. The complete disclosures of these patents are incorporated herein by reference.
Another exemplary pillow is described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,412,128, which is incorporated herein by reference. Such a pillow includes a cover with an inner strip of material which permits the arms to be separated without tearing or damaging the cover. This invention provides various improvements to similar types of support pillows, permitting convenient separation of the arms while allowing them to spring back to their starting position.
The invention provides various support pillows that are useful with different sized adults as well as with babies. In one embodiment, such a pillow is constructed of a pillow body having a medial region and two opposing arms that form an open well region. The pillow body may also be defined in terms of first and second sides, an outer periphery, and an inner periphery outlining the well region. The pillow body is further constructed of a cover which holds a fill material. The cover is constructed of a main section that extends about the first and second sides and the outer periphery. Also, a center panel is coupled to the main section and lies along the inner periphery. In one embodiment, the center panel is constructed of a woven fabric having two grain directions that are generally perpendicular to each other and a bias. The woven fabric is generally non-stretchable in the grain directions, and the center panel is coupled to the main section so as to be substantially on the bias. By placing the center panel on the bias, the center panel is stretchable in the direction of the inner periphery. In this way, the support pillow may be manipulated to be placed about the waist or torso of an adult or larger individual without permanently distorting or altering the shape of the pillow. Further, after use, the arms spring back to their original position so that the pillow may subsequently be used to support a baby while sitting, among other uses. Moreover, by using a woven fabric material costs may be saved while still providing suitable stretchability and resilience when the pillow is opened and closed.
The center panel may be constructed of a variety of woven fabrics. Such fabrics are fabricated with a weft and a warp so that the two grains are perpendicular to each other. In such cases, the bias is diagonal to the two grains, i.e. at a 45 degree angle. In some cases, the center panel may be coupled to the main portion so that it is slightly off bias, sometimes up to about 15 degrees in either direction. Woven fabrics that may be used include cottons, cotton/polyester blends, velvets, polyester, linen, rayon, other synthetic blends, wool or wool blends and the like.
In one particular arrangement, the main section may be constructed of a pair of fabric pieces that are sewn together at the outer periphery. The center panel may be sewn to the fabric pieces at the inner periphery. In some cases, the sewn seam may have a stitch count that is in the range from about 5 stitches per inch to about 9 stitches per inch, and in some cases from about 6 stitches per inch to about 8 stitches per inch.
In one aspect, the pillow body may be constructed such that center panel has a variable width. For example, the width of the center panel may be greater at the medial region than along the arms. This configuration is also useful in permitting the arms to be separated and then to spring back. In one aspect, the width of the center panel at the medial region is in the range from about 2.5 inches to about 7.5 inches. In other cases, the width of the center panel may be in the range from about 1 inch to about 5 inches along the arms and the medial region, and in some cases from about 1.5 inches to about 3 inches along the arms and the medial region. Further the length of the center panel may be in the range from about 20 inches to about 28 inches.
In some embodiments, the well region may have a diameter in the range from about 4 inches to about 12 inches when the ends of the arms are touching. Also, the center panel permits the arms to be separated to the extent that the pillow body is generally straight. When released, the arms come to within at least about 8 inches of each other. Also, the center panel permits the arms to be separated so as to be at least perpendicular to the medial region with essentially no buckling of the cover at the medial region.
In another embodiment, the invention provides a pillow cover that comprises a cover body having a medial region and two opposing arms that form a well region, a first side and a second side, an outer periphery and an inner periphery outlining the well region. A center panel is coupled to the cover body so as to be located along the inner periphery. The center panel is constructed of a woven fabric having two grain directions that are generally perpendicular to each other and a bias. The woven fabric is generally non-stretchable in the grain directions, and the center panel is coupled to the cover body so as to be substantially on the bias. In this way, a cover for a pillow may be constructed in a relatively inexpensive manner while still being stretchable when the pillow is opened. Also, the center panel assists in returning the cover to its original shape.
The bias of the woven fabric may be about 45 degrees between the grains, and the center panel may be coupled to the cover body within about 15 degrees of the bias.
The cover body may comprise a pair of fabric pieces that are sewn together at the outer periphery, and the center panel may be sewn to the pair of fabric pieces with a stitch count that is in the range from about 5 stitches to per inch to about 9 stitches per inch. Also, the woven fabric may be a fabric, such as a cotton, a cotton/polyester blend, velvets, polyester, linen, rayon, other synthetic blends, wool or wool blends and the like.
In one aspect, the center panel is configured to stretch about 1% to about 80% percent on the bias, and in some cases greater than about 15% on the bias. In another aspect, the center panel has a length aligned with the inner periphery and a width that is perpendicular to the length, and the width varies along the length.
The length of the center panel may be in the range from about 20 inches to about 28 inches, and the width of the center panel along the opposing arms may be in the range from about 1 inch to about 5 inches.
The support pillows may have a wide variety of uses. For example, they may be placed about the waist or torso of an adult and used to support an item, such as a baby when feeding. The pillows may also be used to support a baby when sitting by placing the baby in the open well. Other uses are possible.
Also, a cover may also be placed about the pillow prior to use. The cover may also have a central panel that is constructed of a non-stretchable material along the grains. The central panel may be coupled to the cover on the bias so that when placed about the pillow, the pillow may open to a wider degree and then spring back to its home position.

The invention provides various support pillows and covers that are constructed of a medial region and two opposing arms that may be widely separated from each other without damaging or permanently distorting the pillow and/or cover. When the arms are released, they spring back to their original position. This permits the pillow to be placed about large objects, with the arms tensioned against the object, yet not uncomfortably. For example, when the ends of the pillow arms are separated enough to be placed about the torso of an average sized adult, the inward force produced by each arm is sufficient to hold the pillow in place about the torso, yet not so tight that it is uncomfortable. Further, when the pillow clings about a relatively large object, the medial region does not buckle, but keeps its shape. When removed, the pillow's resilience permits it to spring back to its original shape, typically with the ends being separated by about 8 inches or less, and in some cases about 4 inches or less and in other cases about 2 inches or less.
To construct the pillow, a cover is used to surround a fill material. Also, the cover includes a central panel surrounding the open well. One feature of the invention is that the central panel may be constructed of a woven fabric using a weft and a warp technique. Such woven fabrics have threads running in two directions which are generally perpendicular to each other, referred to as the weave of the fabric. Along the warp direction, the woven fabric is generally non-stretchable. In the weft direction, some minor stretching may occur (in some cases about 1% to about 5%); however, the fabric is still generally considered to be non-stretchable in the weft direction as well. Forty-five degrees off the warp or the weft (referred to as along the bias), the fabric is stretchable. By connecting the center panel to the cover along the bias, the pillow is able to open wider and then spring back to its original position. When coupled to the cover in this manner, the bias is generally aligned with a center line of the pillow, while the grains are forty-five degrees off the center line. In some cases, the bias could be slightly off the center line, possibly up to about fifteen degrees off center.
One particular advantage of using a woven fabric is that it can be a relatively inexpensive fabric. As such, costs for producing the pillow or slip cover can be controlled, while still providing the desired flexibility and resilience.
In some cases, any slip covers used to cover the pillows may be constructed in the same manner as the cover of the pillow, i.e. with a center panel which is sewn to the slip cover on the bias. Examples of slip covers which may be used, or which may be modified to include a woven center panel are described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,453,493; 6,625,828; 6,851,143; and 7,000,274, and copending U.S. application Ser. No. 11/395,690, filed Mar. 30, 2006, which are incorporated herein by reference.
The fill material used to make the pillow may be such that the pillow is relatively firm when filled, particularly so that the pillow will not significantly deflect under the weight of a baby. Examples of materials that may be used include polyester fibers, foamed materials, and the like. One method for filling the cover with a fill material is described in co-pending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/769007, filed Jan. 29, 2004, which is incorporated herein by reference.
The cover may be constructed of a main portion using one or more pieces of a generally non-stretchable fabric and a center panel at the inner periphery of the pillow. The center panel is also constructed of a non-stretchable material and coupled to the main portion on the bias. The overall shape of the pillow may be similar to those described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,261,134, 5,661,861, 5,546,620 and 6,055,687, which are incorporated herein by reference. The main portion of the cover may, in some cases, be constructed of two pieces of material which are sewn to each other, with the center panel being sewn to the main portion, although other coupling techniques may be used, such as by using a fabric glue. One technique for attaching a center panel of material to a cover is also described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,412,128, which is incorporated herein by reference. The non-stretchable material used to construct the main portion of the cover and/or the center panel may be a fabric, such as cotton, polyester, velvet, chiffon and the like. Such non-stretchable fabrics permit the pillow to be firmly stuffed with fill materials. When stuffed in this manner, the pillows are able to maintain their shape for extended time periods. Such fabrics also provide an aesthetically pleasing surface.
The support pillows of the invention may find use with a variety of applications where the arms are manipulated to be placed around an object. Merely by way of example, such applications may include placement about a torso to facilitate nursing, the holding of an object, such as a book, a toy, food, or the like, to function as a back support, or the like. The support pillows of the invention may also find use with the applications described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,661,861; 5,546,620; 5,261,134; and 6,055,687, previously incorporated herein by reference.
The center panel may be configured in a variety of ways in order to permit the arms to be separated and then spring back. One way is by coupling the center panel to the main portion of the cover so that the bias of the center panel is generally aligned with the center line of the pillow. Another way is through the shape of the center panel which may be wider at the medial region than it is along the arms. In some cases, both techniques may be used together so that the center panel is both coupled on the bias and has a wide portion at the medial region. The width of the medial region may be critical in ensuring that the pillow arms may be widely separated while still providing sufficient spring in the arms so that they can cling about an object and also move back to their original position.
Referring now to FIGS. 1-3, one embodiment of a support pillow 10 will be described. Pillow 10 may be constructed to have an overall shape and feel that are similar to the support pillows described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,661,861, 5,546,620, 5,261,134 and 6,055,687, previously incorporated herein by reference. However, the invention is not intended to be limited to only such support pillows, but may be used with essentially any type of pillow having two arms that may be separated from each other. Support pillow 10 includes a curved outer surface or periphery 12 which is rounded in both a longitudinal and a lateral direction to form an outer periphery. Support pillow 10 further includes a curved central inner surface or periphery 14 which defines a rounded, generally circular, curved or elliptical well region 16. While the body of the support pillow 10 is substantially continuous and uniform, with curved surfaces 12 and 14 also being continuous, it is convenient to consider the pillow body as having a medial region 15 and two opposing arms 18 and 20. The arms 18 and 20 extend in opposite directions away from the medial region 15, but are curved towards one another to give the pillow 10 its overall curved configuration. While the continuous structure does not provide a precise or exact division between the medial region 15 and each arm, considering the body of the pillow in view of these components facilitates a description of the structure and function of the pillow 10.
Arms 18 and 20 include respective blunt ends 22 and 24, positioned remotely of the medial region 15. Support pillow 10 is proportioned so that ends 22 and 24 normally, i.e., when not under external stress, touch or are slightly separated from each another, typically within about 8 inches, usually within about 4 inches and in some cases within about 2 inches of each other. However, ends 22 and 24 do not exert substantial pressure against each other, if touching. Pillow 10 has a bilateral symmetry with respect to a central plane which passes vertically through medial region 15. Pillow 10 is also symmetrical about a mid-plane which horizontally bisects the pillow body. In some cases, it may be convenient to refer to a center line CL (see FIG. 3) which horizontally lies along and bisects the pillow.
Well region 16 has a width W (see FIG. 2). The width W is selected to permit the support pillow to fit "snug" around the torso or waist of most users, especially babies. The pillow 10 is also constructed so that the arms 18 and 20 may be moved away from each other to vary the width W so that the pillow 10 may be used in a variety of applications, including larger sized adults.
Referring to FIG. 3, pillow 10 includes a central core 30 which may be constructed of a fill material, such as a hypoallergenic polyester filling. The central core 30 is encased by a cover 34. The majority of cover 34 is constructed of a material that is compliant while generally not stretchable. Examples of such fabrics include cotton, polyesters or other pliant conforming fabrics. The fill material is firmly and tightly packed into cover 34, such that the core 30 and cover 34 together provide a self-supporting pillow body, i.e., the support pillow 10 retains its shape without any sagging or drooping of arms 18 and 20 when held at the medial region 15. The tightly packed fill material forming core 30 also provides the pillow with firmness in the sense that it will undergo only slight elastic deformation (as compared to a conventional pillow) when an object (such as a persons' arms or elbows) is rested on the arms 18 and 20 or medial region 15. Other fill materials that could be used include natural or synthetic fibers, synthetic beads, feathers, foam, and organic granular fill materials such as husks and seeds and the like.
In the embodiments shown, cover 34 is formed of three pieces of fabric: a top piece 40 (which forms a top surface), a bottom piece 42 (which forms a bottom surface), and a center panel 44. Top piece 40 and bottom piece 42 are sewn together at the outer perimeter to form a seam 46 (see FIG. 3) along the centerline CL. Examples of materials that may be used for top piece 40 and bottom piece 42 include cotton fabrics, polyester fabrics, cotton/poly blends and the like. By using a non-stretchable material for the top piece 40 and bottom piece 42, various conventional fabrics may be used to provide a comfortable, decorative and aesthetically pleasing surface. Although shown with top piece 40 and bottom piece 42, it will be appreciated that a single piece of fabric or multiple pieces) may be used to cover the top and bottom of the pillow. Sewn to top piece 40 and bottom piece 42 is center panel 44. In this way, center panel 44 surrounds the inner well 14 and eliminates a seam running along the mid-plane. Although the pieces may be sewn together, other techniques may also be used, such as by using glue, lacing, staples, snaps and the like. Center panel 44 permits arms 18 and 20 to be separated without tearing or bunching of the fabric that is adjacent the inner well 14. Further, the configuration the center panel 44 makes the pillow sufficiently resilient to spring arms 18 and 20 back to their original shape. Also, the center panel 44 is configured to provide a sufficient inward force on arms 18 and 20 so that they securely hold pillow 10 about an object, without being uncomfortable.
Center panel 44 may be constructed in a variety of ways to provide such features. One way is through the use of a woven fabric. More specifically, center panel 44 may be constructed of a woven material that is generally non-stretchable along the grains, but is stretchable on the bias. A more detailed illustration of how central panel 44 is constructed and sewn to pieces 40 and 42 is illustrated in FIG. 4.
Shown in FIG. 4 is a portion of center panel 44 which is greatly magnified. Center panel 44 is constructed of a weaved material (also known as a weft and warp) where some of the threads 100 are oriented in one direction (a first grain direction or the weft) and the other threads 102 are weaved together perpendicularly to threads 100 (in a second grain direction or the warp) as is known in the art. Because threads 100 and 102 are generally non-stretchable, center panel 44 is generally non-stretchable in either grain direction.
Running 45 degrees between both grain directions is the bias. Along the bias, center panel 44 is stretchable. In some cases, center panel 44 may stretch up to about 1% to about 80% along the bias, and in some cases at least about 15% along the bias. Center panel 44 is sewn to pieces 40 and 42 such that the bias is on or aligned with the center line CL. This is referred to as coupling center panel 44 to the cover "on the bias". In this way, when arms 18 and 20 are separated, center panel 44 will stretch in the direction of the center line CL to permit the arms to open wider. Further, when arms 18 and 20 are released, the fabric used to construct center panel 44 has some resilience along the bias and will assist in springing the arms back together.
In some cases, center panel 44 may be slightly off the bias. For example, center panel may be up to about 15 degrees off bias in either direction.
When sewing center panel 44 to pieces 40 and 42, a non-stretchable thread may be used. In such cases, the stitch count may be in the range from about 5 stitches per inch to about 9 stitches per inch, and in some cases about 7 stitches per inch. If the stitch count becomes too high, then arms 18 and 20 may not be separated as easily. Further, if the stretch count is too low, an adequate sew line may not be produced.
The center panel 44 may be provided in essentially any color, such as nude, white, cream, pale pink and the like. Optionally, a lace overlay may be provided for decoration.
Center panel 44 may have a length that is about in the range from about 20 inches to about 28 inches, and in some cases about 26.5 inches. The width of center panel 44 may be in the range from about 1 inch to about 5 inches, and in some cases about 1.5 inches to about 3 inches and in further cases about 1.75 inches.
Such dimensions for center panel 44 are particularly useful when pillow 10 includes a well 16 having a diameter of about 4 inches to about 12 inches, in some cases from about 4 inches to about 8 inches, and in other cases from about 5.5 inches to about 6.5 inches when the ends of the arms 18 and 20 are touching. The vertical height of the medial region 15 (when the pillow is lying flat) may be in the range from about 4 inches to about 10 inches, and in some cases from about 4 inches to about 5.5 inches. The height of the arms 18 and 20 at their ends 22 and 24 may be in the range from about 1 inch to about 6 inches, and more preferably from about 2 inches to about 4 inches. The horizontal thickness of the arms 18 and 20 and medial region 15 (when the pillow is lying flat) may be in the range from about 4 inches to about 10 inches, and in some cases from about 4 inches to about 8 inches. The inner periphery of the pillow may be in the range from about 15 inches to about 45 inches, and in some cases from about 22 to about 30 inches, and in some cases about 26 inches. The outer periphery of the pillow may be in the range from about 54 inches to about 74 inches and in some cases about 64 inches.
The coupling of center panel 44 to the cover on the bias permits arms 18 and 20 to be extended from each other as described herein. Also, such a configuration substantially prevents bunching or buckling of the fabric of top and bottoms pieces 40 and 42 at medial region, even when arms 18 and 20 are opened such that they are generally perpendicular to medial region 15.
Center panel 44 permits pillow to be used both with infants and adults. Center panel 44 allows arms 18 and 20 to be easily separated and placed around the user's waist while still providing a sufficient inward force to clamp the pillow about the user's waist. In some cases, arms 18 and 20 may be separated to such a degree that pillow 10 forms a straight line. However, when released, the arms 18 and 20 still spring back to their original position.
Another way to provide the functions described herein is through the shape of center panel 44. In some cases, pillow 10 may be constructed so that center panel 44 is fabricated of both a non-stretchable material coupled on the bias and a shape having a width that increases at medial region 15.
In one embodiment (illustrated in FIG. 5), a center panel 49 has two ends 50 and 52 and a center section 54. The bias of the fabric runs along the center line of panel 49 similar to panel 44. Center panel 49 increases in width from ends 50 and 52 toward center section 54. The increase in width may be in the range from about 0.5 inches to about 7 inches. Center panel 49 may have a width at ends 50 and 52 that is in the range from about 1 inch to about 3.5 inches, and in some cases about 1 inch. The length of center panel 49 is about in the range from about 20 inches to about 28 inches, and in some cases about 26.5 inches. The width of center panel 49 at center section 54 may be in the range from about 2.5 inches to about 7.5 inches, and in some cases about 4.5 inches to about 5.5 inches. Also, the width of center panel 49 may begin to increase within about 4 inches to about 9 inches of ends 50 and 52 and in some cases within about 6 inches to about 8 inches.
The pillows of the invention may be used with center panels having a wide variety of other shapes, each of which are woven fabrics which are coupled to the pillow cover on the bias in a manner similar to that described herein. Examples of such center panels are shown in FIGS. 6-10. Shown in FIG. 6 is a center panel 58 having ends 60 and 62 and a center section 64. Center panel 58 tapers outward along generally straight lines as the width increases at center section 64. As such, center section 64 has somewhat of a diamond shape.
FIG. 7 illustrates a center panel 66 having ends 68 and 70 and a center section 72. Panel 66 is similar to panel 58 except that center section 64 does not include points at its widest portion.
FIG. 8 illustrates a center panel 74 having ends 76 and 78 and a center section 80 which may be circular, elliptical or generally curved in geometry. Also, center panel 74 may be constructed of multiple pieces of fabric.
FIG. 9 illustrates a center panel 82 having ends 84 and 86 and a center section 88. Panel 82 increases in width from ends 84 and 86 to center section 88 to form a point at center section 88. Also, the edges of panel 82 curve inward at center section 88.
FIG. 10 illustrates a center panel 92 having ends 94 and 96 and a center section 98. The edges of center panel curve outward at center section 98 to form a gently curved surface at center section 98.
Shown in FIG. 11 is a slip cover 110 that may be used with essentially any type of pillow, but may find particular use with pillows having a center panel constructed of a woven material that is coupled on the bias in a manner similar to that previously described. Slip cover 110 may be constructed in a manner similar to cover 34, with an opening 111 to permit it to be placed over a pillow, such as pillow 10. More specifically, slip cover 110 includes a curved outer surface or periphery 112 which is rounded in both a longitudinal and a lateral direction to form an outer periphery. Slip cover 110 further includes a curved central inner surface or periphery 114 which defines a rounded, generally circular, curved or elliptical well region 116. While the body of the slip cover 110 is substantially continuous and uniform, with curved surfaces 112 and 114 also being continuous, it is convenient to consider the cover as having a medial region 115 and two opposing arms 118 and 120. The arms 118 and 120 extend in opposite directions away from the medial region 115, but are curved towards one another to give the cover 110 its overall curved configuration.
Opening 111 may be placed in a top piece or a bottom piece of the cover. As shown in FIG. 11, opening 111 is placed at the outer periphery 12 (along the seam line). Also, one or more fasteners may be used to close the opening 111, such as a zipper, snaps, buttons, a hook and loop fastener material and the like.
Along inner periphery 114 is a center panel 122 that is sewn to the top piece and the bottom piece in a manner similar to the pillows described herein. Center panel 122 is constructed of a woven material that is non-stretchable in the grain directions and is coupled to the top and bottom pieces along the bias in a manner similar to the other pillows described herein.
By constructing both a pillow and a slip cover so that they have a woven center panel coupled along the bias, the combined pillow and slip cover can be stretched together when separating the arms as described herein. Also, the pillow and slip cover retain their shape when the arms are released. If desired, center panel 122 could also be shaped similar to the other embodiments described herein.
FIGS. 12 and 13 illustrate the use of support pillow 10 to facilitate breast feeding or bottle feeding of a baby. To do so, pillow 10 may be placed about the torso and may conveniently rest on the legs. The baby may then be held on medial region 15 while feeding or holding the baby.
FIG. 14 is illustrates the use of support pillow 10 to maintain a baby in a sitting position. As shown, the baby is placed within well region 16, with the arms 18 and 20 and medial region 15 holding the baby upright. If needed, arms 18 and 20 may be separated to fit around the baby, while still being sufficiently resilient to snugly fit around the baby.
The invention has now been described in detail for purposes of clarity and understanding. However, it will be appreciated that certain changes and modifications may be practiced within the scope of the appended claims.

Home/Aurora, Events, Latest News/Facial Recognition-enabled turnstiles helping Robertson improve on-site health and safety
Aurora's Integrated Biometric Turnstiles are designed specifically for the construction industry, combining ClockFace+ facial recognition with a fully secure, managed access and time and attendance solution
HIGHAM FERRERS, 06 JUNE 2016 – Infrastructure, support services and construction company Robertson is using unique turnstiles with integrated facial recognition software to improve on-site safety for its employees and contractors.
The Integrated Biometric Turnstiles come from pioneering facial recognition specialist Aurora, and allow Robertson to maintain a highly accurate record of everyone on-site at any one time: ideal for creating instant reports in the event of a fire alarm or emergency, as well as for time and attendance and payroll purposes.
The IBT combines Aurora's ClockFace+ Facial Recognition system with a fully secure, weather resistant turnstile, providing managed access alongside highly accurate biometric time and attendance monitoring. Aurora is a leader in facial recognition technology, enabling fast, reliable non-contact biometric entry for users.
Robertson has just taken delivery of a second IBT, a year after their first turnstile was installed, for a site in northern Scotland. Site manager Charles Orr says the unusual nature of the project has made Aurora's technology particularly useful. A key element is the system's ability to categorise all sub-contractors by trade.
"When a fire alarms goes off, we hit 'print', and we know everyone who is on-site and can be accounted for," he says. "That's one of the biggest benefits for us. We've got a big, long site, and to know who is where at all times is impossible. So, using Aurora's equipment, we actually know who is on-site that we have to evacuate in case of an emergency."
Up to 180 workers can be on Robertson's site at any one time. The rural location and shape of the site means that access is not restricted in the same way that it would be elsewhere; but sub-contractors use the turnstiles to ensure they are recorded for payroll purposes.
"Because the system is set to provide instant reports of on-site staff by trade," Orr says, "when an alarm sounds and we meet at the muster point, the foremen for each trade are provided with a sheet of names, and they account for their guys.
"The ClockFace system also quickly settles any disputes that may arise about how many sub-contractors actually worked on a given job, and helps us to plan for staffing levels on future projects."
The IBTs allow users to receive health and safety and other messages via the ClockFace+ screen as they clock in and out, with administrators able to target messages to individuals or groups. With a single power and network connection, IBT can be installed and commissioned in hours and the units have a lifespan of many years, maximising return on investment.

The Riverbend Golf Complex sits along the Green River in Kent Valley, Wash. Owned and operated by the City of Kent, the complex offers a championship, 18-hole course and a mini-golf course. The 18-hole course is one of the busiest in the state with more than 65,000 rounds played on it annually. The golf course sprawls across a relatively flat landscape, making it easily walkable. Though it may not be hilly, that doesn't mean it's trouble free. There are more than 50 bunkers strategically placed throughout and three lakes come into play as well. The layout is player friendly, with enough variety to appeal to players of all skill levels.
Dress code Shirts and shoes must be worn at all times while on the golf course.
Course was nice just had aerified the greens so not the best but it's not golf season till after the Masters so plenty of time to get in great shape.
I do love the layout of this track. Let me be clear on that. But the greens were in awful shape today. Not smooth at all, inconsistent speed on practically every hole. Some rock hard in March? The next one soft as could be and the ball stopped immediately. Very frustrating for conditions wise. Once they get done punching next week I'm sure they will be back to pristine like I'm used to from here.
The course was in very good shape. The pace of play was very slow so we only played 9 holes. They were super busy because of the unusually sudden warm weather. Thy are under construction so there was no eating or drinking facilities. Over all it was good though.
Thank you for the great feedback Jinylee! We love hearing from you and are glad you had a good experience. We would love the opportunity to bump those 4 stars to 5. We hope you will come back soon so we can WOW you on your next visit. Until then, take care!
Nice course! Fun holes! Well maintained. Thank you course superintendent and staff for making Riverbend the best winter courses in the area. Great shape!! Also....very reasonable rates.
Tee'd off early, course was almost empty. December in Washington means your getting wet and we did. Only managed to get in 9, standing water on greens ended our day. Clubhouse under construction and the cat behind the counter was a good dude. Fun course, more challenging than you would expect from a muni. Worth getting out to if you can.
This was my first round at this place and it was very nice even after all the rain during the Winter. The staff was very friendly and attentive for the need. Pace was excellent to finish 18 holes in less than 4 hrs. Greens were good considering all the rain. I will play here again and recommend this gem in Kent WA.
We only played 9 holes due bad course management. He over booked tee times and it was very crowded. We were just standing there waiting for the line to move. He didn't seem to care. So not coming back to this course again. Would like a refund.
This course is a good value for the money. We paid only $26 Sunday morning due to the greens being punched the weekend before. All considering, the value was nice given the aeration. The layout was fun with many hazards thoughout. Water is in play on nearly every hole and bunkers are abundant. I would recommend this course for someone who wants a challenge and does not want to pay high green fees.

Resolutie 446 van de Veiligheidsraad van de Verenigde Naties werd aangenomen op 22 maart 1979. Twaalf leden stemden voor. Drie andere leden, Noorwegen, het Verenigd Koninkrijk en de Verenigde Staten, onthielden zich van de stemming. De resolutie riep Israël op de Vierde Geneefse Conventie na te leven in de gebieden die het in 1967 had bezet en de juridische status of bevolkingssamenstelling van deze gebieden dus niet te wijzigen.

Achtergrond

In 1967 vocht Israël de Zesdaagse Oorlog uit tegen Egypte, Syrië en Jordanië. Tijdens die oorlog bezette Israël grondgebied van de drie tegenstanders: de Golanhoogten in Syrië, de Westelijke Jordaanoever die in 1948 door Jordanië was geannexeerd en in 1947 door de VN werd beschouwd als grondgebied van een te vormen Arabische staat, Oost-Jeruzalem met onder meer de Oude Stad die eveneens door Jordanië was geannexeerd en door de VN bestempeld als internationaal gebied) en ten slotte de Gazastrook en het Sinai-schiereiland van Egypte. Sindsdien werd alleen de Sinaï − na vredesoverleg met Egypte − in 1982 teruggegeven. De Joodse nederzettingen aldaar werden ontruimd.

Inhoud
De Veiligheidsraad:
 Heeft de verklaring van Jordanië gehoord.
 Benadrukt de dringende noodzaak van een allesomvattende duurzame vrede in het Midden-Oosten.
 Bevestigt nogmaals dat de Geneefse Conventie betreffende de Bescherming van Burgers tijdens Oorlogstijd van toepassing is op de Arabische gebieden die sinds 1967 door Israël bezet worden, waaronder Jeruzalem.
 Bepaalt dat Israëls beleid van het oprichten van nederzettingen op Palestijns en ander Arabisch grondgebied niet legaal is en vrede in de weg staat.
 Betreurt dat Israël niet voldoet aan de resoluties 237, 252 en 298 van de Veiligheidsraad en de resoluties 2253 (ES-V), 2254 (ES-V), 33/5 en 33/113 van de Algemene Vergadering.
 Roept Israël nogmaals op de Geneefse Conventie te volgen, voorgaande maatregelen in te trekken en de juridische, geografische en demografische samenstelling van de bezette gebieden niet te wijzigen door er eigen burgers naartoe te verhuizen.
 Richt een commissie op bestaande uit drie van zijn leden om de situatie in de bezette gebieden nader te bekijken.
 Verzoekt de commissie niet later dan 1 juli 1979 aan de Veiligheidsraad te rapporteren.
 Verzoekt secretaris-generaal Kurt Waldheim de commissie van al het nodige te voorzien.
 Beslist de situatie in de bezette gebieden voortdurend nauwlettend in het oog te houden en in juli 1979 opnieuw bijeen te komen om de situatie te bezien in het licht van de bevindingen van de commissie.

Ensure that the face is dry and that any moisturiser has penetrated into the skin (if in doubt - blot the skin with a clean tissue). Apply crème to powder concealer to any areas of concern. Apply the foundation to either a Luscious Kabuki brush (for natural coverage), Powder Dome (for very light coverage – particularly suitable for black or very dark skins who need light application a few times rather than one heavier application) or a Capra Purse brush (for extra coverage on areas of concern like broken veins or rosacea) and tap off any excess powder.
Start on the forehead and work the powder into the skin in small circular motions going all over the face, including eyelids and lips, and if you have short hair or wear your hair up apply the foundation to the ears as well. This will ensure that the ears are the same colour as the rest of the face and will also protect the ears from UVA/UVB rays. The reason for using circular movements is to ensure that all the soft downy hair on the face is lifted and that colour is applied under the hair (otherwise when the hair is moved there could be a difference in colour). Once the foundation has been applied use the brush in a downwards movement to stroke all across the face to ensure that any excess powder has been removed and that all the downy hair has been flattened against the face again.
If you should get hot and perspire or get caught in the rain blot gently with a tissue to remove excess moisture – DO NOT RUB or you will remove the powder from your face.
Don't forget that you can use the foundation, blusher and eye shadow anywhere on your face. Foundations can be used as blusher, blusher can be used as eye shadow or lipstick, eye shadow can be used as eye liner, etc. Try it and see!


Emilia Clarke and Sophie Turner Have Shared Their Thoughts On GoT's Final Season!
We are getting closer and closer to Game of Thrones' next and final season in 2019. The fans of Game of Thrones are waiting impatiently for the updates from the set. The seventh season of GoT has left the audience with a lot of questions while raising the expectations for the final season at the same time. Recently series actresses Emilia Clarke and Sophie Turner have shared some exclusive updates about the upcoming episodes.
Vanity Fair has made an interview with Emilia Clarke in their summer edition. Emilia Clarke has stated that her parts are Daenerys Targaryen are finished. Clarke also added that shooting these scenes has messed her up as they were her final moments as Daenerys Targaryen.
In addition, Clarke mentioned that she has worked with Sophie Turner and Maisie Williams on the same scene. This means that Starks sisters are finally coming together with Daenerys on screen. Emilia Clarke did not share any further details about how this meeting will be. She also added that mobile phones were not allowed on the set when they were shooting the final episode. Apparently, the producers are working hard to keep the mystery of the seasons.
It seems that Emilia Clarke is not the only one whose parts are completed. Sophie Turner has recently tweeted and shared her thoughts on completing Game of Thrones.
