This post is dedicated to my friend Courtney, who has past chapters she cherishes, and to Amanda Hesser, who recalls the church bells from a past chapter in her life.
Amanda Hesser for being a badass foodie and writer who doesn't know me at all, and was still willing to answer questions about how she writes and thinks and eats. Courtney, for taking me to see Katey Red in concert Tuesday night. In fact, it was Wednesday morning by then, and there were people all shapes and colors and sizes, and some people had headwear and others didn't. In fact, that was my July 4th festivity. Because aside from eating a fabulous ice cream cone with my friend S. the next day, I sort of had to sit in my room and recover for 36 hours. Or 48. Not counting the bartendress who talked to me a lot last night.
and so, as I'm not hulu-ing it, or wi-fi-ing it unless I walk a few blocks to a store/restaurant, I have noticed something and maybe Katey Red cracked the anchovy tin open in my brain on this one, but folks, sometimes being alone actually helps me remember stuff. I am actually remembering things that I have forgotten for a long, long time. Like smells and sights from different places I've lived are returning to me, out of the blue, as I chug coffee and dream and brainstorm.
Brooklyn, New York: tortillas (corn) on an open flame burner, San Antonio rice, potato latkes, roti, Mr. Softee singsong truck, hot trash smells, muffins baking, sausage and pancakes fresh at Tom's Diner on Washington, Lauryn Hill, Nag Champa. friends with champagne parties in warehouses in Dumbo, friends who made a lot of money before the dot com bust, a dress made of pink slips by one of those friends after the bust. electrical fire.
Santa Monica, California: lillies, wild blooming onions, beach tar, sage in Topanga, hot dry, sweaty yoga mats under sun, moans from the assisted living residence across the alleyway, the dispatch at the auto repair store, seagulls, frozen yogurt and raspberries, fried calamari, Peet's iced coffee. The smell of Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf–never found a beverage that captured that cocoa powdery lofty smell; the Glade plug-ins (smelled like Pacifica candle Brazilian Mango Grapefruit) left by the former teacher in the classroom where I taught 7th grade.
Baton Rouge, Louisiana: crawfish smells, beer smells, petrochemical (once a month) nose grabbing stench, sweet olive blooms, taste of CC's iced coffee that never fails to give me a stomach ache, meatless nuggets, coconut, kale, Tyler's red beans and rice, LSU school song chimed at noon from the bell tower. Voluspa candle–the first "nice" candle I bought when we started living together: Lichen Vetiver.


The value of the General Motors Lordstown Complex in the economy of the Mahoning Valley is undeniable. It is important to end the uncertainty about its future. That is why the Cafaro Foundation is contributing $25,000 to the Drive it Home campaign, administered by the Youngstown-Warren Regional Chamber Foundation. The purpose of this campaign is to demonstrate the intrinsic value of this facility and its workers to the leadership of General Motors, with the ultimate goal of securing a new product to be manufactured at the complex.
The Cafaro Foundation is a charitable entity established by the Cafaro family in loving memory of William M. Cafaro, the founder of the real estate development and management company that bears his name. For over a half century, Mr. Cafaro, along with his wife Alyce and brother John A. Cafaro, enthusiastically supported churches, schools, hospitals and other charitable causes. Since its inception in 1996, the Cafaro Foundation has awarded millions of dollars in grants to worthy organizations and individuals.


You may already be considering what using a data entry service can do for you. You may be in the middle of a major project that you thought could be handled by in-house staff, or you may be in the throes of a seasonal issue that you've handled before, or you may even be experiencing rapid growth. Whatever the reason, those piles of paper or stacks of survey response cards or even boxes of data that should be archived in your database are causing stress to your management and to your data entry personnel.
These are all excellent reasons for you to be using a data entry service to eliminate your current concerns. Finding a data entry service online is simple and fast. Some of the things you should look for in a data entry company include the length of time they have been in business, whether they provide verifiable testimonials, whether they offer a wide variety of services, whether they do the work onsite, and whether they have teams of specialists in one or more areas.
Data entry services often bill by the number of keystrokes it takes to complete the job. Because of this, you will want to keep the required number of keystrokes to a minimum while still capturing essential data. Using abbreviations is one way of accomplishing this. If you're conducting a survey, for example, use closed questions with "yes or no" answers rather than open-ended questions that take far more keystrokes.
Whenever possible, use the services of a data entry company to help plan your project in order to minimize the cost. If turn-around time is a cost factor, try to plan your projects or ongoing data entry needs with enough lead time so that you can reduce costs in that area. Make sure that the data entry company you plan to use provides excellent communication and is responsive to your early questions. Find out if you will have a dedicated contact person to handle issues related to your project as they arise. Using a data entry service can be a lifesaver in the short run and a moneysaver in the long run. Finding the right one is the key.

From the Archive: E. E. Cummings's Christmas Card
In this card from our archive, E. E. Cummings sends a Christmas greeting like no other, with his own poem and illustration. Cummings was known for his Christmas salutations, as he would send short messages and drawings. In December 1946, he sent a Christmas card to Ezra Pound with a drawing of his house on Patchin Place and the greeting "Merry Christmas And Happy New Year." In December 1949, his drawing of choice was of a charging elephant holding a staff with a banner that read "Merry Christmas."
Here Cummings shares an early poem, "little tree," which was first published in The Dial in 1920. The Dial, which began as a transcendentalist publication edited by Ralph Waldo Emerson and Margaret Fuller, among others, had just been taken over by Scofield Thayer and James Sibley Watson Jr., who fashioned The Dial into a modernist publication that published poets like T. S. Eliot, D. H. Lawrence, Ezra Pound, Paul Valéry, W. B. Yeats, and, of course, Cummings, then unknown with the exception of a few college publications. That year The Dial published seven poems by Cummings, including his popular "Buffalo Bill 's" and "little tree." The poems varied widely in style, as the childlike tone and restrained, four-line stanzas of "little tree" differ greatly from the wild spacing and sprawling lines of "Buffalo Bill 's," considered more typical of his style. It would be three more years until Cummings would publish his first collection, Tulips and Chimneys (T. Seltzer, 1923), which included his "Buffalo Bill 's," but "little tree" would not appear in a book until a few years later. It appeared in XLI Poems, published in 1925 by The Dial Press.
By the time Cummings sent this card in 1960, those early days in his career were far behind him; he had received numerous honors, including an Academy of American Poets Fellowship, two Guggenheim Fellowships, the Charles Eliot Norton Professorship at Harvard, the Bollingen Prize in Poetry, and a Ford Foundation grant. He died two years later, on September 3, 1962, at which time he was the second most widely read poet in the United States.

As Christmas looms ever closer the countdowns have begun, advent calender's brought and ready to open I have something a little different to show you to make the Christmas countdown even more fun this year!
Why not let this little elf join your children this Christmas on his quest to help Santa see who is naughty and who is nice.
All encased in a customisable travel trunk box which can be turned in to the elf's bed.
The full elf pack listed above is priced at £24.99 hwoever if you have more than 1 child thanks to the sibling pack there is no need to buy 2 kits. You can purchase a sibling pack for just £5 extra per sibling when purchased with a full elf kit and this includes a behavior chart, stickers and a nice list certificate. Helping to not only keep costs down but ensure each child feels special.
Each elf comes with their very own passport too, which gives you their name and some other info such as likes and dislikes which we think is very cute!
Our very own little Elf will be coming out to stay from 1st December and he will arrive on our door step in his little travel trunk ready for James to personalise. I love the addition of the nice list certificate and also the goodbye letter which helps to explain to children why and where the elf has gone.
The elf teddy itself is a lovely soft toy with bright vibrant colours and is very good quality (especially important when he may be pulled around by children!). The elf is 31cm long and features velcro on the palms of the hands to help pose your little elf.
Our elf will be getting up to all sorts of mischief during the night ready for the kids to find when they wake in the morning to bring a little fun to our Christmas countdown. However your elf can do and be whatever you like, there are lots of ideas on Pinterest and all over the internet or you could just have your elf to stay for your child to cuddle up to!
So can you give a little elf a home this Christmas? There is no rule as to when your little elf has to come if you think the 1st December may be a little far away from Christmas why not have your elf come along for the 12 days before Christmas, making his time with your child even more special in the run up to Christmas day!
You can order your own elf pack via the Santa's little elf Facebook page or from the Santa's little elf website.
I love your elf, especially the little extras that come with him too. We have an Elf on the Shelf which quite frankly looks pretty scary!
I love this - he is super cute. My nephews would love him!
This elf is so cute. I will be checking it out.
I'm not 100% sure about some Elf on the Shelf type products I've seen, some of the Elves freak me out a little bit. But, this one looks like a nice, friendly Elf. It's something we'll probably introduce once Rowan is a bit older and he can understand more about it (he's 16 months old). I think the price is great too, especially only having to pay an extra £5 to tag a sibling in.


How much is the new withholding tax rate on incomes of self-employed and professionals and how to compute the income tax that they are supposed to pay? We explain the answers in this easy-to-read guide below. Under the TRAIN law or Republic Act (RA) No.


The caterpillar lives primarily on Lotus creticus. There are also records in literature from other lotus species, Astragalus and Onobrychis sp.
Zygaena orana mainly inhabits coastal dunes that are already richer in vegetation. More rarely and only in north Africa Zygaena orana is also found in dry plains, on calcareous slopes and even in forest clearings (in Morocco up to 1600m above sea level). In Sardinia the moth occurs only near the coast. Typical accompanying species are in Sardinia for example Utetheisa pulchella or Brithys crini.
The moths fly in several (often three) generations from March to October/November. Yet a focus on a more abundant flight period from March to May is unmistakable. In mid-May 2012, I met in Sardinia only a few moths, the most worn. But very small caterpillars were very common on Lotus creticus (descendants of the March/April moths). These caterpillars start dormancy due to the onset of summer heat/drought to a greater extent until the autumn, and then develop in the winter to give back the spring adults. The other part is developing subitanous and results in moths in the same year. Their offspring then divides again accordingly.
I recorded also many moths in late September and early October 2018 (Arborea, Sardinia).
The moths fly around on the day vividly, even in strong winds. The males patrol persevering in larval habitat. They visit eagerly flowers as usual with Zygaena, most often those of the larval host plant.
The young caterpillars produce a distinctive white mining feeding pattern. The mature caterpillars resemble something some forms of Zygaena carniolica (in which the triangular spots can be reduced to a point). The yellow cocoon is constructed mostly well concealed in the ground vegetation.
Zygaena orana is endangered in Sardinia. Large parts of the populated dunes are already affected by weekend homes and tourist facilities. But the moth still occurs in greater abundances in the remaining habitats.
Zygaena orana inhabits Northwest Africa (Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria). In addition, it is found in Europe on the southwestern coast of Sardinia. This occurrence may have been founded by introduction in antiquity (but not certain). Also an active colonization seems to be possible, as with favourable winds.

For a thousand years people consulted the Oracle at Delphi in ancient Greece in an attempt to predict the future. The Oracle was a priestess named Pythia in a cave who became disoriented when chewing laurel leaves and babbled incoherently.
However today, we can monitor future by consulting thinkers, scientists, entrepreneurs, business managers, researchers, inventors, leaders and organizations across the globe. All of them are bringing a futurist mindset to tackle our world's toughest challenges and forging new paths in your field.
On second thoughts, perhaps the Oracle at Delphi was more reliable. That is why you can have all the insight in the world, but if you're not leveraging it to look at what's coming in the future, then it's fundamentally less valuable.

With Annie Duke (Author, Thinking in Bets: Making Smarter Decisions When You Don't Have All the Facts).
Annie Duke is an experienced corporate speaker & consultant on the behavior of decision making. In 2018, Annie's first book for general audiences, Thinking in Bets: Making Smarter Decisions When You Don't Have All the Facts was released by Portfolio, an imprint of Penguin Random House. It quickly became a national bestseller.
As a former professional poker player, she won more than $4 million in tournament poker. She has won a World Series of Poker bracelet, the World Series of Poker Tournament of Champions, & the NBC National Poker Heads-Up Championship. She has written five books, raised four children & raised more than $18 million for charities. Annie is a cofounder of HowIDecide.org, a member of the National Board of After-School All-Stars & a member of the NationSwell Council. In 2016 she joined the board of directors of the Franklin Institute, one of America's oldest & greatest museums. She has also won a televised championship in rock-paper-scissors.
In Super Bowl XLIX, Seahawks coach Pete Carroll made one of the most controversial calls in football history: With 26 seconds remaining, & trailing by four at the Patriots' one-yard line, he called for a pass instead of a hand off to his star running back. The pass was intercepted & the Seahawks lost. Critics called it the dumbest play in history. But was the call really that bad? Or did Carroll actually make a great move that was ruined by bad luck?
Even the best decision doesn't yield the best outcome every time. There's always an element of luck that you can't control, & there is always information that is hidden from view. So the key to long-term success (and avoiding worrying yourself to death) is to think in bets: How sure am I? What are the possible ways things could turn out? What decision has the highest odds of success? Did I land in the unlucky 10% on the strategy that works 90% of the time? Or is my success attributable to dumb luck rather than great decision making?
Annie Duke, a former World Series of Poker champion turned business consultant, draws on examples from business, sports, politics, & (of course) poker to share tools anyone can use to embrace uncertainty & make better decisions. For most people, it's difficult to say "I'm not sure" in a world that values and, even, rewards the appearance of certainty. But professional poker players are comfortable with the fact that great decisions don't always lead to great outcomes & bad decisions don't always lead to bad outcomes.
By shifting your thinking from a need for certainty to a goal of accurately assessing what you know & what you don't, you'll be less vulnerable to reactive emotions, knee-jerk biases, & destructive habits in your decision making. You'll become more confident, calm, compassionate & successful in the long run.

import { DatePipe } from '@angular/common';

@Pipe({
    name: 'customNumbPipe',
})
export class customNumbPipe implements PipeTransform {
    transform(value: string): string {
        return value.toString().replace(/(.{3})/g,"`1")
    }
}

Then you can use the pipe like this {{ displayValue | customNumbPipe}}
I got that regex from here. It inserts an ` every 3 occurrences.
edit:

*

*changed value's type from number | string to string

*Just realized that it should insert an ` every 3 occurrences from the back. I think it can be done by reversing the string, inserting `'s, and reversing it back.

A: you could do something like this:

<input id="name" type="text" value="1000">

but the moment your users changed the value by entering something (in that input field) than your "value" would be gone replaced with what was entered.  you could write javascript that listened for change in the input field and at that time assign the value you need to the data you are collecting.

Melissa and Ashley were married on 29th March, 2008 at "The Centre" in Ivanhoe. They had hoped to be married outdoors in the rotunda in Warringal Parklands but unfortunately the weather was not kind that day so we put plan B into action. Always a good idea to have one! I felt very privileged to be able to perform the ceremony as we had known Melissa's parents for many years and we had watched Melissa grow up and our children were friends with Melissa and her brother Jason. Melissa is a very organised young woman and the wedding and the reception ran very smoothly and it was a great day.
Melissa and Ashley had given me some information about how they met and their relationship so I could write a personal ceremony for them. They also wrote their own vows and read them from a laminated card which I had prepared for them.
Melissa met Ashley in 1996 whilst she was working with his girlfriend at the time. They were all friends together and met socially on many occasions for many years. They both had their own partners and led separate lives. Melissa was even invited to be a guest at Ashley's wedding. It was a very enjoyable day and Melissa and Ashley had a dance together on the night even though she confessed she didn't know how to dance!
The very next day Melissa and her partner moved to Frankston and it was 4 years later, April 2nd 2004 to be exact, by coincidence their paths crossed again. "I picked him up on an internet dating site" Melissa told me, "and really thought he was hot!" I always admired and respected the way he treated his wife. After that first internet chat they realized how happy they were together and soon became inseparable.
"Melissa is very loving, caring, generous and much more, she looks after me when I'm sick and feeling like a typical bloke when sick." Said Ashley, She took up ballroom dancing to be with me and has come a long way from that first dance at my first wedding.
When Ashley met Melissa for the second time he fell for her bubbly personality and loved her smile and laugh. Never before had he met such a special lady, with such enthusiasm for life and drive and determination. Ashley loved the way she made him feel and made him laugh.
Ashley introduced Melissa to ballroom dancing and they now share that together. He remembers when he first said "I love you" whilst doing a modern waltz around the scout hall in Ivanhoe. They enjoy the movies (even though Melissa sleeps through many of the movies), and share a love of food hehe.
Saying I care means that I will support you in everything you try to accomplish.
Because your goals have become our goals and we'll achieve them together,side by side.
It means that I will never hurt you, that you can trust me.
And your hand and my hand will not be apart.
As you become my wife.
I will strive to give you the best of myself, while accepting you the way you are.
And to realize that they are sometimes different but no less important than my own.
To let you into my innermost fears and feelings, secrets and dreams.
In the only way I know how -completely and forever.
Melissa and Ashley are still happily married and have 7 year old twins Jack and Amelia!

BR 42 var ett tyskt ånglok som tillverkades under andra världskriget. Det var en av de tre huvudsakliga klasserna av Kriegslokomotive som användes av Deutsche Reichsbahn.

Loket tillverkades i betydligt mindre serier än det mindre BR 52 - endast 859 exemplar jämfört med 6300 BR 52. Med sin högre effekt och sitt högre axeltryck var det betydligt mer ekonomiskt än de mindre loken, men samtidigt begränsat till användande på linjer med högre teknisk standard.

BR 42 var en vidareutveckling av förkrigstida BR 44 där man hade minskat antalet delar och andelen dyrbara material för att snabba upp produktionen.

The law of attraction is operating all the time – whether we are aware of it or not. What we say, do, think and feel is creating the conditions that surround us.
In his new book, "Follow Your Passion, Find Your Power: Everything You Need to Know about the Law of Attraction," Bob Doyle reveals a step-by-step plan for us to harness this law so we can begin attracting positive things into our lives.
Doyle not only explains how the law of attraction works, but also reveals the concept of resistance, and how it can interfere with attracting the things we want in life. There is a chapter dedicated to techniques for releasing resistance and another to the concept of visualization.
The book also features a chapter answering the most commonly asked questions that come up when someone begins to consciously apply the law of attraction.
This is one of the best books on Law of Attraction that we have come across in a while!

An Indian launcher lifted off Sunday and placed France's Spot 6 commercial Earth imaging satellite and a Japanese secondary payload into orbit 400 miles high.
The Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle lifted off at 0423 GMT (12:23 a.m. EDT) from the Satish Dhawan Space Center on Sriharikota Island, India's primary launch site on the country's east coast about 50 miles north of Chennai.
Launch occurred at 9:53 a.m. local time, a delay of two minutes from the targeted liftoff in order to avoid colliding with an object already in space.
The 146-foot-tall launcher soared through a thin layer of clouds and disappeared from the view of ground cameras about a minute after liftoff, but telemetry radioed from the vehicle indicated it successfully deployed the Spot 6 Earth observation satellite.
The rocket also orbited the student-built Proiteres microsatellite for the Osaka Institute of Technology in Japan.
The 1,569-pound Spot 6 satellite will collect high-resolution imagery, resolving objects as small as 1.5 meters, or about 4.9 feet. A twin satellite named Spot 7 is under construction for launch in 2014.
Spot 6 was built by Astrium Satellites of France, and its imagery will be sold commercially by Astrium Geo-Information Services, another branch of the European aerospace company which markets products of France's optical imaging satellites and radar-equipped German spacecraft.
The Spot 6 and 7 satellites were privately financed to complement the Pleiades 1A and 1B imaging spacecraft owned by the French government. Astrium Geo-Information Services is also responsible for the dissemination of commercial imagery from the Pleiades satellite fleet.
Pleiades 1A was launched in December 2011, and Pleiades 1B is due for launch on a Soyuz rocket in 2013.
The Spot 5 satellite, which was launched in 2002, is beyond its design lifetime. Spot 6 and Spot 7 will continue the Spot Earth observation program until 2023, according to Astrium.
When both satellites are operational, Spot 6 and 7 will collect imagery of up to 1.2 million square miles of the Earth's surface each day, according to Astrium.
Astrium and Antrix - the commercial arm of the Indian Space Research Organization - announced the launch contract for Spot 6 in April. Launch services for Spot 7 have not been announced.
Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh viewed the launch from a control room at the space center, applauding as the mission director hailed the flight a success.
"I am delighted at having witnessed today's launch of India's Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle C21 carrying two satellites," Singh said. "On behalf of all Indians, I warmly congratulate the Department of Space and all members of the Indian Space Research Organization for this spectacular success."
The launch marked India's 100th space mission, including indigenous rockets and Indian-built satellites.
"As ISRO's 100th space mission, today's launch is a milestone in our nation's space capability," Singh said after the launch, which was the PSLV's third fully commercial mission.
It was the 22nd flight of India's workhorse PSLV family since 1993. All but one of the PSLV's flights has reached orbit.
"I have no doubt that ISRO will build on these glorious traditions and scale even greater heights," Singh said. "The ISRO community has always been a source of inspiration to our country through its quest for the stars."
After his speech, Singh met with members of the launch team, which wore white lab coats emblazoned with 'PSLV' on the back.

Servo Yachts Unveils Martini 7.0 Catamaran Yacht With Revolutionary Suspension Technology to Combat Seasickness
David Hall, Founder of Velodyne Lidar, Continues Entrepreneurial Ventures with Formation of Servo Yachts
Introduces Innovative Suspension Technology in New Martini 7.0
New Marine Stabilization Design Provides Seasickness Relief for Passengers
Rendered image of Martini 7.0 (Photo: Business Wire)
SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Servo Yachts LLC ("Servo Yachts" or the "Company") today announced the introduction of the Martini 7.0, a 165-foot catamaran yacht with revolutionary technology that provides seasickness relief for passengers. Servo Yachts is founded by David Hall, founder of Velodyne Lidar, where he invented the 3D lidar vision system that spawned the development of autonomous vehicles, lidar companies and advanced robotics.
Servo Yachts' Martini 7.0 was designed in conjunction with Shuttleworth Design, an award-winning, UK-based design consultancy that has been at the forefront of yacht design, engineering and naval architecture for more than 40 years. The Martini 7.0 incorporates revolutionary marine stabilization techniques that allow the yacht to glide more smoothly through the ocean, avoiding the kinds of motion that typically cause passengers to become seasick. The Company's electric suspension technology reacts in real-time to the sea's movement. In effect, the dual hulls manage and absorb the roll, pitch and heave motions induced by the ocean, providing increased levels of comfort for passengers.
According to the United States National Library of Medicine, 1 in 3 people are considered highly susceptible to motion sickness. However, almost everyone will become motion sick if exposed to intense movement.1
Mr. Hall commented:
"Growing up, I spent my summers on my grandfather's boat, where I developed a deep appreciation for marine travel. My grandfather, who was an engineer and scientist, encouraged my pursuit of invention and the sciences, which led me to spend more than 35 years in the field trying to combine mechanical and electrical engineering fundamentals to create solutions to problems we once thought were unsolvable. With the Martini 7.0, I believe we have found a way to solve seasickness and significantly improve the sailing experience so that everyone can enjoy traveling on the ocean. I am very excited for Servo Yachts to continue to push the boundaries of marine technology and transform ocean travel. Ideas for better ways to do things are always out there floating around, and it's up to us to find a way to make it happen."
Orion Shuttleworth, Managing Director and owner of Shuttleworth Design, commented:
"We are proud to work with David at Servo Yachts to design a new generation of seagoing vessels. It is exciting how his suspension technology can be applied to any type of marine craft for the advantage of many industries. We will see these on superyachts, day and work boats, ferries, navy transport craft, offshore transfer and Coast Guard search and rescue vessels, and more."
The Development and Technology of Martini 7.0
The Martini 7.0's unique suspension system connects the main cabin to two dynamic hulls, which adjust to the height and angle of the waves. The revolutionary design causes less drag than traditional yachts, resulting in a remarkably efficient vessel that is not only safe and comfortable, but faster in rough conditions.
The technology has been in development for over eight years and the Martini 7.0 is the next generation of a series of smaller prototype vessels, ranging from 17 feet to 45 feet, that have been developed and tested in San Francisco Bay. A variety of solutions have been explored and tested, including the Martini 6.0, a concept for a 150-foot high-speed catamaran yacht.
On the Martini 7.0, a new configuration was designed to maximize accommodation space, and the two hulls have been connected by four articulating mechanisms positioned at each corner of the suspended deck, which houses the main accommodation. A combination of pneumatic and electric rams adjust in real-time to keep the deck in a level position to control and safely absorb the roll, pitch and heave motions induced by the sea. The patented suspension technology, which minimizes seasickness and crew exhaustion, and enhances safety at all speeds, enables up to 12 feet of vertical travel in each hull. The result is a vessel that can move at high speed through an ocean swell with virtually no motion in the suspended deck where the crew and guests are located.
Like Mr. Hall's 3D vision invention, the Martini 7.0's suspension system adjusts to feedback received in real-time based on a computer-automated electro-mechanical system. This technology is an active method and is much more effective than current passive marine stabilization devices which take more time to react to the motion of the sea. The Martini 7.0's system requires very little power and no warm-up time or complex vacuum systems, making it the most immediate, effective and safe option available.
As well as providing total stabilization, the system also has the unique ability to sync the motion of the suspended deck with another moving target, including when docking alongside a larger ship or recovering a smaller vessel at sea.
About Servo Yachts LLC
Servo Yachts LLC is founded by David Hall, a serial entrepreneur and inventor with a 35-year history of successful businesses and inventions. Hall founded Velodyne Acoustics in 1984 with numerous patents and inventions that revolutionized the audio industry. After competing as one of the original entrants in the DARPA Grand Challenge, Hall invented 3D lidar technology in 2005 to give autonomous vehicles real-time 360° vision. Having transformed 3D lidar technology into the thriving company that is Velodyne Lidar, Hall turned to businesses based on his new inventions, including the stabilization platform for Servo Yachts. Hall continues to work on developing innovative technologies that can address a wide range of challenges in the modern world. Learn more at www.servo-yachts.com.
About Shuttleworth Design
Shuttleworth Design is a multi-award-winning, UK-based, design consultancy that has been working with an international client base at the forefront of yacht design, engineering and naval architecture for over 40 years. Shuttleworth Design was one of the first yacht design companies to develop the idea of "integrated design," a way of approaching the engineering and overall design as an integrated whole rather than a series of parts joined together. The company pioneered the use of computer-aided design and has always been actively involved in research and development. This innovative approach has resulted in boats that are lighter, stronger, safer and more efficient, and has firmly established the company as a leader in its field.

If you are wondering what the best time to visit France would be, the answer is usually any time, since this country exudes beauty regardless of the season. And as one of the most romantic and magical countries in the world, there is very little doubt that you'll have a great time here, in spite of the weather.
France is found in Western Europe, next to countries like Belgium, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Germany, Italy and Spain. France spans 674,843 square kilometres and is composed of rolling hills, sweeping plains, and urbanized city centers. It lies north of the Mediterranean sea and east of the Atlantic coastline, with the English Channel to the north, ensuring people that are supplied with all kinds of attractions during their stay.
Given this, it comes as no surprise why France attracts as many as 82 million people per year and continues to be one of the most celebrated tourist destinations in the world. But to ensure that you spend your time well, here are some suggestions you should take into consideration.
While Paris is an unforgettable destination, don't miss Bordeaux and take advantage of the wine capital of the nation. Here, you'll get to relax and enjoy the countryside and then indulge in one of France's best export. There'll be no talks about politics or religion, just culture, arts and music. And to some degree, you'll be able to experience English hospitality instead of the standoffish French demeanour.
Now, apart from the vineyards, you'll also get to see other amazing highlights like Les Quais, La Victoire, the Pedestrian Center, and Gambetta Square. If you want to see where the biggest libraries in France are located, you might also want to check out Meriadeck. As an alternative, you might also want to check out Bourges and the UNESCO World Heritage Site it harbors – the cathedral of St. Etienne, which is said to have been constructed back in the 1200's.
The best time to visit France for these places would be during spring and summer, so you could avoid the cold weather. But you have to see to it that your trip does not coincide with local holidays because that may mean hotels are fully booked.
The French Riviera is another highlight you should not miss when you are in the country as it offers a refreshing retreat for those who enjoy water-based activities. Located on the coast of the Mediterranean, this destination not only features all the facilities you need for a satisfying beachside vacation, it also complements it with all the glitz and glamour you would expect out of the mother country. Who knows, you might even come across some celebrities during your romp. There is some great accommodation options on the Mediterranean coast, and don't forget to check out some handpicked villa holidays for a truly unique experience.
Now, if you do not want to get caught in the crowds, the best time to visit France for this would be outside of July and August since the summer months usually attract loads of people to the Riviera's shores. But if you only have that time off, you could always opt for lesser known attraction like the Gorges du Loup and Gourdon.

I am a beginer in learning French. I came to see this sentence somewhere.
"La cravate" - The tie.
I am curious why 'the tie' is a feminine word?
I'd wager that's because in French, baring other factors (e.g. certain suffixes), nontechnical words whose pronunciation ends in /-at/ tends to be strongly feminine. If that specific sense was borrowed from German, it's probably borrowed in the same gender (Krawatte is also feminine in German).
It's however not entirely clear what the sequence of borrowing was (it's ultimately from Croatian hrvat, which also gave, well, croate).
Otherwise, this is really threading into the most arbitrary aspect of language (especially if you're gonna follow this up with "why are words in /-at/ feminine?"). Asking "why does this language function differently" is typically not much more useful a question as asking "why do different languages exist". French has grammatical gender. No matter what the word is, if it's a noun, it's going to have a gender, and this sort of categorization is going to have some level of arbitrariness by definition.

Harry Yoshimura, owner of the Mutual Fish Company on Rainier Avenue in Seattle is one of three generations in the Yoshimura family who've run the retail/wholesale seafood market since 1947.
The Yoshimura family knows all about the freshest seafood around, and with the Dungeness crab sport fishing season in full swing here is a recipe that involves not "frying" but "baking" up some tasty crab cakes.
In a food processor, pulse cornflakes until ground coarse and spread in a shallow baking pan. In a large bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, mustard, Old Bay seasoning, cayenne, and yolks and add crab meat and salt and pepper to taste, tossing mixture gently but thoroughly.
With a 1/4-cup measure, form crab mixture into slightly flattened rounds about 2-1/2 inches wide and 3/4-inch thick and gently coat crab cakes with cornflakes, transferring as coated to a wax-paper-lined baking sheet.
Chill crab cakes, covered with plastic wrap, at least 2 hours and up to 4 hours. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Transfer crab cakes to a large baking sheet. Put about 1/2 teaspoon butter on each crab cake and bake in middle of oven until crisp and cooked through, about 15 minutes. Serve crab cakes with tartar sauce.

Home Car Reviews Sportscars & Supercars 2020 Nissan GT-R NISMO – Car Review – The Digital Dinosaur
2020 Nissan GT-R NISMO – Car Review – The Digital Dinosaur
Ken Saito
You can tell the Nissan GT-R was made and engineered by people who are truly enthusiastic about cars. The endless tinkering and tweaking of the GT-R over the years since its launch in 2007 shows the unbridled pursuit of perfection. Just being good or even great is never good enough.
I've tested a variety of GT-Rs since coming to Japan in 2015. The first was the standard MY2015 road car. After that was the 2017 refresh of the NISMO version and more recently the 2020 50th Anniversary special edition. Now though it's time for the big one – the new 2020 NISMO.
The GT-R range is a fairly straightforward affair compared to its rivals (looking at you, Porsche). You start off with the standard car at a not-too-unreasonable $205,000, the 'Premium Luxury' spec at $211,000, and the Track Edition at $240,000. Step up to the NISMO and you're looking at well in excess of $370,000. Yikes. That still hasn't stopped it from being a popular choice for Japanese buyers. For example, in the sales month of April/May 2020, Nissan sold a total of 84 new GT-Rs in Japan of which 21 were NISMOs.
All GT-Rs regardless of trim level are powered by a hand-built 3.8-litre twin-turbo V6 that's been powering the R35 generation since 2008. For 2020, the NISMO churns out 441kW and 651NM of torque, a 25kW increase over the standard car. On top of the power hike you get massive carbon ceramic brakes from Brembo (410mm up front), more carbon fibre body panels resulting in a 30kg weight drop, lots of aero parts, a new vent on the fender, and GT3-style wheels.
Those extra add ons to give the NISMO a bit of a boy racer look. Some will love, some will hate it. I absolutely adore it. It looks purposeful and it does have the performance to back up those cartoonish looks, but more on that later. This thing has presence. It's a big old thing and takes makes no apologies for the brutish way it sits on the road. You see this thing you get out of its way.
12 years on the R35 has become a familiar shape on our roads. But in NISMO form, regardless of the year, is still a rare sight. Perhaps it's me being in Tokyo that's got me jaded and spoilt but where you see a GT3 RS almost everyday, seeing the rarer NISMO GT-R on the road is much cooler than seeing yet another green RS.
Here's the wonderful thing about the NISMO. Yes it's a stripped out hardcore version of an already hardcore sports car and yet there's still four seats, it's still got an infotainment system with Apple CarPlay, and the boot you can actually use to carry things around in. If you really want to you can fit a human body in there. Trust me, I tested it.
At the end of the day the GT-R is still a practical Nissan. Sure, the rear seats aren't exactly the best for carrying around adults in all the time but because the NISMO has lighter carbon-fibre Recaros that are narrower than the standard car's seats, you actually get more legroom in the back.
Apart from those awesome seats not much has changed inside. You get lashings of alcantara to make it look sporty, NISMO-badged gauges, and there's an appropriate amount of carbon fibre trim inside but that's about it. It's GT-R as usual inside which isn't a terrible thing but nor is it something you'll be bragging about to friends at the pub. Sure it looks its age inside (the digital read out on the instrument cluster looks very 10 years old) but there's also something very comforting in being in a familiar environment.
This is where it gets good. Even though it's a bit long in the tooth now the GT-R still drives spectacularly well. There's nothing on the market that drives like a GT-R. It's a totally unique driving experience, I don't think there's a car that's quite as misunderstood as the GT-R. People think because it's a near 1.8-tonne car with grippy AWD, a dual-clutch transmission, and because it's made in Japan there's no excitement in the driving experience. They say there's no soul. Well, they're all wrong.
Last time I drove the 2017 NISMO I took it on a mega 1000km road trip across Japan. This time was a more concentrated drive on some of the best mountain roads near Mount Fuji. There must be something about that mountain because the Japanese icon came alive.
It makes all these mechanical noises. At idle there's a sense the car is itching to get a move on, putting it in gear comes with a nice old school industrial sound, and getting up to speed you have the unmistakable sound of the VQ38DETT engine along with the whooshes of the twin turbos. There's no stop/start nonsense here, the GT-R is on all the time. It's almost blasphemous restricting this car to city driving. It wants to be let loose. It's all very exotic and exciting.
That said, not quite as exciting as the way it goes. Nothing, and I mean nothing, goes up a twisty Japanese mountain road quite like a GT-R. It claws at the tarmac and grips on to the road harder than Kevin Spacey trying to hold on to what's left of his career. Anyone can get in this car and drive it to its limits without killing yourself in the process, but just because it's easy to drive fast doesn't mean it's not involving. Driving a GT-R at speed is very much a physical experience.
The way it goes about eating up mountain roads is absolutely brutal. It takes no prisoners in its execution and pursuit of speed. It's the only car I've driven where you can enter a corner, go around said corner, then exit all the while having your foot flat on the go-faster pedal. It's quite literally breathtaking, and if you're not careful you might pull a muscle or two from all the g-forces. An afternoon spent with this car going up and down your favourite piece of road will result in sore limbs, sweaty palms, and will leave you in a complete state of shock.
How a car this big, this heavy, and this old can so effortlessly demolish a tight and twisty piece of road as if it was half a tonne lighter is simply awe-inspiring.

The endless tinkering and tweaking of the GT-R over its 12-year life has culminated in something truly wonderful. The 2020 NISMO is at the time of writing this the ultimate iteration of the R35 generation, that is until the ItalDesign comes out but since that's a strictly limited production car it's unlikely us commoners will be able to drive one. Which is fine because like a fine wine, the standard R35 has just gotten better with age.It's still a unique driving experience and one that can keep up with the best of what its contemporary rivals can throw at it. Few cars on the road can keep up with this. While it may have also gotten more expensive over time to reflect how good it's become, the NISMO will always be a car that'll sell in limited numbers.It's not a car for everyone and not everyone will understand it. But those who do will have a proper face-bending, tarmac-warping, visceral driving experience.I absolutely love it.

(New York – May 1, 2017) – Jonathan Rose Companies, a leading affordable housing real estate development, investment and project management firm, has announced the opening of its new Freedom Square office in Independence, Ohio.
Following the purchase of Forest City Realty Trust's Affordable Housing Business in March 2017, Jonathan Rose Companies evaluated the needs of the two business lines based in Ohio – Rose Community Management and Rose Community Capital – and decided that a new, expanded space was needed to strengthen and grow the overall company.
The new office, located in the suburbs of Cleveland, was recently renovated to offer an open space concept to foster collaboration. An onsite café was also added for employees to enjoy an array of food and beverage options, which will also serve as an alternative collaborative meeting space. Jonathan Rose Companies is currently recruiting for six open positions at the new office, slated to officially open May 8, 2017.
Rose Community Management will continue to build upon Forest City's reputation for quality management, while adding Jonathan Rose's focus on green buildings and building Communities of Opportunity. The recent acquisition more than doubled Jonathan Rose Companies' total affordable unit count to nearly 15,000 owned and under development/contract in 13 states and the District of Columbia.
Jonathan Rose Companies' goal is to take each of the properties through the Enterprise Green Community Program, facilitating capital improvements aimed at achieving measurable reductions of energy and water use and climate impact. An increase in social programming at each asset to improve the lives of its residents is at the forefront of the plan. In order to achieve its goals, the company will be recruiting a variety of new members to the team.
Rose Community Management is a mission-based company that currently manages in excess of 8,000 affordable and mixed income projects nationally. The company is based in Independence, Ohio. Rose Community management t is committed to creating a positive and inclusive culture where people can openly share ideas, collaborate, challenge one another, learn from their experiences, and are rewarded for their hard work. The company is proud of the dedication of its senior team, who on average, have been with the company for 20 years.

Q: Trying to get columns while reading multiple csv files. Only getting first two columns I am reading all csv files in a folder (approx. 90 files). Each file has around 85 columns and I'm just interested in 2, so I'm trying to copy just these in my df. But the df I'm getting is only showing the first two columns.
The csv files look like this: csv file
My code:
csv_files = glob.glob(os.path.join("C:/User/Documents/Auswertung/2/Vent_2022/*.csv"))
frames = [pd.read_csv(file, sep=';', low_memory=False, usecols = ['LOCALTIME', 'Flow_filter'], names = ['LOCALTIME', 'Flow_filter']) for file in csv_files]
df_vent = pd.concat(frames, ignore_index = True)
df_vent.drop([0,1,2], axis=0, inplace=True)

display(df_vent)

What I'm trying to get:

LOCALTIME
Flow_filter

01.07.2022  00:01:00

24.07.2022  22:46:00

Does someone know why this is happening and how I can correct it? Thanks in advance :)
EDIT
I followed a suggestion of removing

names = ['LOCALTIME', 'Flow_filter']

but know the df's first column is a mixture of column 1 and 3. Something like this:

LOCALTIME
Flow_filter

01.07.2022  00:01:00
69

24.07.2022  22:46:00
167

3
38

3
51

Here's a picture: odd df

A: When you pass the names = ['LOCALTIME', 'Flow_filter'] option to pd.read_csv, you are actually overriding the header row in the file, and thus saying that those are the names of the first two columns. Then you say pick those two columns, therefore the first two.
Since your file has a header row, simply removing that option will let pd.read_csv read the column names for you, and then usecols = ... should work as you expect.


R.L. Lewis has enjoyed far more job security than most politicians.
He's been a member of the Milton City Council for 28 years and never yet drawn an opponent for re-election.
He did have opponents in 1984, the very first time he ran, but he won that race easily, taking 47 percent of the vote in a five-way contest.
The election made Lewis the first black person to be elected to office in Milton – or Santa Rosa County for that matter.
But while he's proud of the accomplishment, he doesn't dwell on the racial aspect.
Lewis is especially eager for Milton to pave and upgrade more streets and to draw more jobs to town.
He would like to see businesses and organizations provide tuition money to deserving young people so they can take classes to be certified as police officers, firefighters and emergency medical technicians. He also likes the notion of a thriving tourism district, which would mean more visitors and more money.
He's pleased with work on Canal and Sanders streets and the new tennis courts, and he's glad the city bought Sundial Utilities, which will help Milton expand its utility business around Bagdad. The new fire station is another sign of Milton's progress.
Lewis became interested in politics many years ago as he volunteered for activities in church and civic groups.
He decided "I could be of service from both sides of the fence," and so he ran for the council. He works hard to make sure citizens know what city government is doing and that city government knows what citizens want.
Lewis works as a counselor at Trahan Funeral Home in Pensacola; he has been in the funeral home business for most of his 72 years.
He's the fifth generation of his family to live in Milton, and he expects the string to continue. He and wife Paulette have a daughter, Cheryl Shakur, a granddaughter, Shante Shakur, and Lewis's "pride and joy," great-granddaughter Isbella Pinkey.
There are currently no comments on R.L. Lewis appreciates 28 years of citizen confidence. Perhaps you would like to add one of your own?


GBP is remaining weak against the strong USD which is still supported by the strong economic data.
The support rests at 1.35900 with resistance at 1.36350 which both lines are below the weekly pivot point at 1.38510. The EMA of 10 is moving with bearish bias in the descendant channel and it is below the EMA of 200 and the EMA of 100. The RSI is moving in oversold area, the Stochastic is moving in low ranges and MACD line is below the signal line in the negative territory. The ADX is showing sell signal.
The decline will continue towards 1.349.


Ha… That's a witty question. But it's not my idea, I took it from the The Cut. On the one hand, there is Karl Lagerfeld, who recently declared to Focus magazine that "no one wants to see curvy women". On the other hand, there's singer Beth Ditto (of Gossip), an icon of 'fat pride' who has starred editorials and covers in several fashion magazines, such as Love and Jalouse.

DENIA is a 15 minute drive away. At the heart of the town is the castle situated on a slight hill, by the sea. Nearby is the archeology museum displaying Denia�?´s past, the art centre and toy museum are all worth a visit. On every street and square as you stroll around this interesting town you will find that traditional, special Spanish charm.
The Marques de Campo is the town's main paseo here you will find both traditional and trendy bars, restaurants and shops and the evening craft markets along the port. There are 20 kms of beaches all you have to decide is if you want to laze away the days in a tranquil cove or join in the many activities the choice is yours. Sports lovers will find everything they need sailing, canoeing, jet ski, diving, swimming or fishing there is something for everyone. You could even take a ferry to Ibiza either for a day's cruise or a night's dancing!
But it isnt just sea and beaches, you can walk the beautiful mountain paths and cycle around the Montgo Nature park which is ideal for bird watching and is rich in flowers and fauna.
Fiestas provide entertainment for all ages. You can experience fire, colours and passion the whole year round. From the Moors and Christian mock battles to bull running. The fallas in March.
OLIVA is a 5 minute drive away here you have the bustle of a thriving town but you can leave this century and travel back in time by walking around the winding medieval streets with their beautiful churches and Moorish castle.
The locals seem unaffected by time - so why not join them and have a quiet beer in one of the many plazas, and just watch the world drift by.
The tree-lined boulevard, in the more modern part of town, is home to the weekly Friday market, a busy and thriving centre which offers you the chance to buy anything from fresh local produce to fashions - and of course the price is a lot cheaper than you would find in the high street.
For the rest of the week there is the permanent covered central market which offers daily fresh produce.
Oliva is home to many bars and restaurants which offer food and drink ranging from home cooking through to Chinese restaurants, at exceptional value. Try a menu del dia which typically includes three courses, Wine or beer and bread, all for the princley sum of E7.
Quite literally there is something for everyone.


Employability is: 'a set of achievements – skills, understandings and personal attributes – that makes individuals more likely to gain employment and be successful in their chosen occupations.' (Mantz Yorke & Knight 2004 p7).
In this activity you will look at your learning design with a focus on employability. You will consider what skills, attitudes and knowledge your students will need to demonstrate to succeed in their chosen profession.
Are there opportunities in your design for students to choose modules or work areas within a module so they can tailor the content of their course to their perceived needs / interests?
Are the communication lines and relationships between students, and between teacher and student, set up so that appropriate professional attitudes can be developed and discussed?
Is it clear where work related learning activities take place in the course? How are these made explicit to students?

The Triangle is a 2001 thriller television movie directed by Lewis Teague and starring Luke Perry and Dan Cortese. Released on August 13, 2001, it was filmed in Barbados and Canada.

Plot
Three high school buddies, Stu (Luke Perry), Tommy (Dan Cortese) and Gus (David Hewlett), decide to go on a pleasure cruise through the Bermuda Triangle. Stu's fiancée, Julia (Polly Shannon), insists on attending.

When they arrive in Bermuda, Gus and Tommy stumble across a voodoo sacrifice. Gus takes a photo, causing a voodoo priestess to utter a curse under her breath, so they leave.

When Tommy, Gus, Stu and Julia get to the dock, they find that their chartered boat is a wrecker run by Captain Morgan (Dorian Harewood) and Charlie (Olivia d'Abo). They agree to go out. While diving, Julia sees the ghost of a little boy and begins to drown. A heavy fog engulfs the boat and the electronic equipment on board begins to malfunction. Suddenly a large ship, the RMS Queen of Scots, appears on the horizon. Everyone agrees to board the vessel in order to try and salvage parts to fix Morgan's boat.

They quickly find the captain's log, and they realize that the Queen of Scots was experiencing similar technical difficulties. Morgan insists that he can repair it, and everyone splits up to search for the ship's power source. Morgan and Tommy discover an elevator that is running without power descend to their level. When the door opens, a cricket ball rolls out. They find that Morgan's boat has drifted away.

Captain Morgan decides to go back down to the engine room and try to get the engine running, and they split up again. While in a room, Gus sees the same ghost that Stu's fiancée saw, and suffers a fatal heart attack. Stu encounters a vault filled with money and an old cricket bat. He is gathering money when Julia intervenes and tries to stop him, but he kills her in a fit of rage.

Tommy and Charlie both awake from the same nightmare, and discover Gus's body. They frantically search for Stu, but they only find Julia's bloodied flashlight outside the ship's vault. Stu sneaks up on them and throw them in the ballast, locks the door, and begins to flood the compartment with ballast water. They discover the ballast contains the skeletal remains of the ship's passengers and crew. They also find Julia's body and realize that Stu killed her.

Captain Morgan is still working in the engine room and doesn't hear any of the previous commotion. Stu confronts him, and Captain Morgan is mortally wounded. Before he dies, he tells Tommy that Stu is acting like one of the original passengers on the final voyage of the Queen of Scots, who went crazy and killed everyone with a cricket bat.

Tommy and Charlie attempt to escape, but Stu pursues them. Tommy pushes Stu through a pane of glass, and he and Charlie cover the boat with petrol and attempts to board the small dinghy that originally came from Captain Morgan's boat. Charlie boards the dinghy, but before Tommy has the chance, he is attacked by a bloodied Stu. Charlie loosens the pulley while the cords are entangled around Stu's feet causing him to be pulled off the ship and hanged. Tommy escapes to the dinghy, and the ship suddenly comes back to life and begins to pursue them. Tommy shoots a flare at the Queen of Scots, igniting the petrol and causing it to explode.

Their dinghy is discovered by patrolmen, and Tommy and Charlie tell them their story. The patrol men are shocked to learn that they are survivors from Captain Morgan's ship, and just before the credits roll a radio broadcast is heard that reveals that Captain Morgan's boat was lost at sea over four years ago, while the movie seemingly transpires over a single day, implying that the Bermuda Triangle is a wormhole.

Reception

The film was a ratings hit, becoming the most-watched movie on basic cable during the month of its release. In spite of the film's success with audiences, it was not as well received by critics, as most reviews were lukewarm at best. Michael Speier of Variety called it "a B movie in the truest sense of the genre," and went on to criticize its acting and special effects. Tom Shales of The Washington Post had a marginally more positive reaction to the film, noting the appeal of some of the performers and a few impressive effects shots. However, he ultimately panned the film for being dull and slow.

We are a group of teachers, administrators and entrepreneurs who value the myriad benefits of studying languages and cultures abroad. We take pride in our ability to provide linguistic and cultural training combined with a level of service and hospitality rarely encountered in study abroad programs. Our native Spanish-speaking instructors are both experienced and engaging. Each possesses a university degree and is passionate about sharing his or her knowledge.
At Nosara Spanish Institute, we use a communicative teaching approach. Our primary objective is to better the student´s communication skills and competency. We encourage spontaneous and creative use of the Spanish language in real life situations. Our instructors carefully monitor the progress of each student and adapt their teachings to suit individual learning styles and capabilities.
Rather than follow the lessons and activities of a single textbook, we utilize a variety of well-defined content and linguistic goals that remain flexible to the competencies, needs and interests of our students. All course materials will be provided by the instructors throughout the program. Students are required only to bring a notebook, pen or pencil and folder to organize class handouts.
Programs are offered year-round Mondays through Fridays. The minimum teaching unit is 1 hour and 40 minutes and is divided between two 50-minute lessons.
To offer high quality Spanish courses to our visitors and non-native residents.
To enrich the community of Nosara by providing a non profit English program to the local Spanish speaking population.
To encourage integration of non-native residents into the community.
In an atmosphere of tolerance and openness to diversity, we aim to cultivate a better understanding of the social and cultural impact of enhanced communication through language learning.
Nosara Spanish Institute uses the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFRL) for the creation of its language syllabus and curriculum guidelines. We maintain an open and student-centered curriculum. Utilizing clearly defined goals; our instruction is adapted to the abilities, needs and interests of our students. Read more about Level System CEFRL here.
Despite the diversity of methodologies currently available in the field of foreign language instruction, there is a strong consensus around the importance of developing a students' communicative competencies. The Nosara Spanish Institute utilizes a modern and open approach to foreign language acquisition.
From day one, advanced, intermediate or beginner students will benefit from total immersion into the Spanish language. In the classroom, our experienced instructors will develop a class and instruct students exclusively in Spanish. They will use clear diction, gestures and audiovisual strategies to provide a well-rounded, comprehensible approach enabling students to participate and communicate in Spanish from day one.
Situated in the Guanacaste province on the western edge of the Nicoya Peninsula, Nosara is a place of rare beauty and tranquility. Famously referred to as a Blue Zone, Guanacaste is one of five places in the world known for the remarkable longevity of its population. Whether due to climate, food, water or relaxed lifestyle, scientists are still pondering, but locals commonly live to be 100 or older.
In addition to the unique beauty of the natural environment, Nosara provides a wonderful example of responsible planning and development. In spite of the numerous homes, restaurants and services that can be found here, first time visitors will be impressed by the pristine beach and jungle surrounds that remain in tact.
The community of Nosara also promotes alternative and sustainable types of recreational and adventure tourism, and is respectful of the local culture and values. At Nosara Spanish Institute, we pride ourselves in our ability to teach both Spanish and English language programs, which provide an invaluable opportunity for linguistic and cultural exchange.
Hotel chains and fast food restaurants do not exist in Nosara. Instead, visitors will find smaller boutique hotels and quaint, family owned restaurants serving a variety of international cuisine. Nosara remains a truly eclectic mix of Costa Rican and international culture where surfing, yoga, wellness and other new age practices readily compliment the Costa Rican "pura vida" lifestyle.
Nosara Spanish Institute is located in the beach area known as Playa Guiones. We are walking distance to the town center where amenities include: a community pool, full service bank with ATM, bakery, ice cream, smoothie, crepe & sandwich shops, minimart with local and international products, coffee shops, bars and restaurants, a walk-in private medical practice, car, atv, bicycle, and scooter rentals, yoga, Pilates and fitness studios, surf instruction and nature tour operators, among other services.
NSI is ideally situated within walking distance to Guiones Beach. Stretching 9km in length, Guiones is exposed to swells coming from various directions, creating a year round, consistent beach break. We have aptly earned the reputation as one of the best surfing spots in Costa Rica.

How can I revert a Live USB back to a regular USB?
I was reading the article How To Create A Portable Ubuntu Installation USB On The Mac How To Create A Portable Ubuntu Installation USB On The Mac How To Create A Portable Ubuntu Installation USB On The Mac Read More , which worked great. Now I'm wondering how do I get my USB back to just a regular uSB? I am working on a Mac. Thank you!
Sorry for the last responce! Please try the command "diskutil mountDisk /dev/diskN" without quotes, then retry the steps I provided above.
Figured it out, but thanks for responding!
I tried both just dragging the files into the trash & erasing them through Disk Utility and neither of them work. When I try to put it in the trash I get "Unexpected code (Error -61)". With Disk Utility, the erase tab is there, but all the options are grayed out.
I think the cause of the problem is, when I was originally creating the live usb, one of the steps (linked above) was "diskutil unmountDisk /dev/diskN". Is there a terminal command that might work to undo that?
That's just my guess at the problem, but I'm open to other suggestions.
The appropriate file system for mac is HFS+, not FAT32.
Macs can viably read FAT32, it's a universal file system where as HFS is geared only towards macs and may not be recognized on other systems. As I doubt he is storing his MBR on his flash drive, I think it's safe to assume that only non-critical files will be stored on it, which is a perfect job for FAT32.
Just delete the files off the USB or format it (essentially the same thing).
Go to applications -> utilities -> Disk Utility and click on your USB Drive. A dialog will popup, choose the erase tab. Make sure you mount the appropriate file system, such as FAT32.


The discussions come at a key time for the construction industry, with a report from The Construction Skills Network published today revealing that 60,000 jobs were lost in the sector last year, while there was also a 9% drop in output after public sector housing building fell by 20%, private housing construction slipped by 5%, commercial sector work decreased by 10% and infrastructure construction saw a 15% downturn.
Among the "key figures" invited to be part of the Construction Industrial Strategy Advisory Council (CISAC) are the CEOs and directors of some of the sector's biggest names, including Barratt Developments, Travis Perkins, Laing O'Rourke, Kier Group and Skanska. While the vast majority of members of the CISAC are representatives of construction employers, no representatives of construction workers were asked to join the discussion.
The IER suspects that the construction industry would be the ideal place to begin developing sectoral bargaining and collective agreements to ensure appropriate standards are maintained over a wide range of employment rights, including health and safety, training and apprenticeships, and pay and conditions. Taking this path – which ensures firms compete on the basis of innovation and investment and not by undercutting workers' rights – is the only progressive way forward, but the government's choice to exclude unions from discussions suggests they will be turning a deaf ear to such advice.
Once the review is complete, the CISAC will launch their industrial strategy for construction in the summer.
