We're excited to announce our recent acquisition of Diversified Labeling Solutions, Inc. (DLS).
Headquartered in Itasca, Ill., U.S., DLS was founded by Bob Hakman in 1985 and has since grown into one of the largest B2B label companies in the country. Today, DLS is a leading labeling solutions provider with over 200 team members; four locations: Illinois, Georgia, Texas, and Nevada; and over 320,000 square feet of production space.
Under this acquisition, DLS will remain a separate entity, retain its name and brand, and maintain all of its current employees and executive leadership – including its current CEO, Jim Kersten. All four major locations will run and operate as usual serving distributors and value-added resellers.
For more information about this acquisition, we invite you to check out the full press release here or contact John Otott at +1 (657) 258-0808 x 108 or john_otott@tscprinters.com.

Michael Douglas Has Been Accused Of Masturbating In Front Of An Employee
The latest in a long line of men to be accused of sexually inappropriate behaviour is Michael Douglas, with a former employee stepping forward to state that he masturbated in front of her during a meeting in order to humiliate her.
Susan Braudy worked for Michael Douglas's production company back in the 1980s and was speaking to NBC's Today programme about the encounter. You can watch a clip of that below or just simply read her account underneath that:
Michael thought he was the king of the world and that he could humiliate me without any repercussions.
He unzipped his chinos and I registered something amiss. Still complimenting my additions to our E.T. imitation, his voice lowered at least half an octave. I peered at him and saw he'd inserted both hands into his unzipped pants.
I realised to my horror that he was rubbing his private parts. Within seconds his voice cracked and it appeared to me he'd had an orgasm.
I said nothing. I was surprised I wasn't falling to pieces even though I was humiliated. I realised he thought he could do anything he wanted because he was so much more powerful than I was. Michael ran barefoot after me to the elevator, zipping his fly and buckling his belt. "Hey, thank you, you're good. You helped me, thank you, thank you."
One of my friends said, "You better not tell people about him." People were frightened for me.
Sounds like a completely inappropriate and downright bizarre encounter if it is true, but who's to say whether we'll ever find that out? Douglas has categorically denied that this happened and any wrongdoing and is probably powerful enough and rich enough in Hollywood that this will just get buried. Hopefully something will change though.
For more of the same, click here. A whole load of new allegations this week.

Bus Stop Cafe Feeds Kids in South Jersey
By Megan Holmes	• Published July 11, 2017 • Updated on July 13, 2017 at 7:20 am
School is out of session which is music to the ears of many children. For some, however, no school means less food.
School programs, such as the National School Lunch Program, often provide affordable or free lunches throughout the school year, but when school comes to a close, so do the programs.
The Food Bank of South Jersey is reaching out to those kids with its Bus Stop Cafe.
The Bus Stop Cafe will go to the children carrying FBSJ staff and food. It will be going to four different locations in Salem County, and will be making stops every day.
In 2016, the Bus Stop Cafe was modified to not only provide food but a place for kids to eat lunch.
"On behalf of Betty Zipf, who championed this project, we are thrilled to support a program providing children with an opportunity to eat and enjoy their meals in a safe and friendly environment," said Kathleen Schroeder, Trustee of the Peter G. Schlotterer and Elizabeth M. Zipf Charitable Trust, a group that helped to reconstruct the bus.

Bus Stop Cafe will also be providing over 6,000 books from First Book.
It is also providing a little extra motivation for kids to get their daily sustenance. Kids will get a stamp for visiting the bus ten times and are then entered to win four Philadelphia Eagles regular season tickets.
The Bus Stop Cafe is an extension of the FBSJ Summer Meals Program which is expecting to deliver a half million meals to 8,000 low-income kids by September 1.

As Christmas approaches and the year comes to an end, I've been reflecting back on my time at Center for Champions thus far. It has been a long but wonderful transition from a traditional after-school program to a life on life mentoring program. We are more than halfway through that transition and we expect to continue to move forward in 2018. One thing that has been crystal clear is God's faithfulness. Our mission is not our own with God's backing, rather it's His mission, given to us for us to get behind. I feel privileged to do the work I do for the God I serve.
2017 has been amazing. Our Rooted program for younger students is all one on one this year and it has been incredible! 4 students made a decision to follow Jesus, behavior has vastly improved, students are engaged, mentors are no longer assistant's but rather full-time role models while students are at the Rooted sites. Our hope and prayer is for Rooted Teens to follow this same model.
As a non-profit organization we are committed to being good stewards of our resources. We run an efficient program but we've found that we can do more. Many of you are financial donors to Center for Champions. As any non-profit leader will tell you, that is invaluable and we are grateful. If you are not already a financial supporter, please do consider it. Monthly commitments through Sponsor a Child make a world of difference. If you cannot make a monthly commitment, we've decided to list below some of our on-going practical needs. In 2018, I will post this list on our website and update it as needs are met. Though some of these needs may appear insignificant, they really are not. In-kind gifts have the same effect on our budget as many financial gifts.
This passage has been on my mind a lot this season. In the Old Testament, the high priest acted as the mediator between man and God. Sacrifices were brought to the priests where blood was shed as a symbol of the forgiveness of sin. But it was a shadow and the priests were men, just as infected by sin as everyone else. Jesus is the great and final high priest who makes the shadow a reality. His blood was shed on our behalf. Without the cross, Christmas really becomes pointless but knowing that we have a great "high priest" who is the mediator between God and man, that is the greatest gift of grace we could ever receive.
With that in mind, have a Merry Christmas!
We will add to and update this list as needs get met. Tangible donations or cash donations are accepted.

As Sisi (not real name) prepared for her trip, getting documents she would be needing for the meeting with the clients and other professionals ready, one of the admin staff called out to her saying, " I was instructed to give you these for your expenses since you might be taking care of your self over there." She was handed $300 and off she left to prepare for her trip.
Upon her return, Sisi came to the office and being a Christian, alongside giving feedback from the meeting, she held unto $200 to return back as she only spent $100. After discussing with her boss, she handed him over the remaining of the money that was given to her. Her boss looking surprised and happy at the same time told her that she should keep it. Thanking him, she left for her desk.
Shortly before she went to her boss, she was asked by colleagues how her trip went and if she had any funds remaining of what was given to her. She said yes and upon mentioning that she would be returning it, she was advised to keep it and was even laughed at and called a "mumu" (someone that is not smart).
Sharing this real life story with you is to encourage someone out there that it's okay to be ridiculed so far you are doing the right thing. If you did it bad, you will still be ridiculed and called names more so if you say you are a Christian. Our lives as Christians is the only book most of our colleagues get to read. They are watching us, taking notes of our every actions. When we leave there to a better place or go to be on our own, can they remember you for what you stood for? Or they'll be joyful you are no longer there?
Oh yes, "Temptations abound when great opportunities present themselves." When you are told, spend your money on such and such and fill an invoice for the reimbursement. Do you spend a certain amount and when requesting for the reimbursement, double or triple it? Hmm!!! I remember being told severally to just round up the amount I need. But thank you my darling. I'll rather stay put than go that route. What of you who is given money to buy basic needs and instead of 10, you get 8 and keep the amount for 2? Hmm, God is watching you in three dimension!!!
You say, one needs to be smart. Hey, is that being smart or reaping where you have not sown or worse still sowing a seed of stealing?
Oh yes, I understand how bad the economy is these days and you aren't paid what you are worth or qualify to receive. But let me ask you, has it gotten better since you have been hoodwinking?
Ever wondered why things are just not fine with you? Or a part of you is doing okay and another not?
As Christians, God's utmost desire is to take care of us just like the birds and the grass. But when you begin to help yourself out your own way, only that area flourishes. All other areas suffer. Little seeds you sow go a long way. "Sowing are not limited to good seeds. You can sow bad seeds and suffer the harvest or your children do the suffering." Let me share with you my dear reader, one of my principles I live by: "Wherever God places me (job) and that place provides to care for me and pay my bills, it is my home." So imagine you stealing from yourself. Does that make you richer? Off course not. If everyone begin to ride along life with this motto, imagine how well we will all be.
As a Christian employee, dare to be different. Let colleagues be uncomfortable to cheat in your presence. Let them know your stance that you wouldn't change your dance steps the moment the song changes.
Finally, do not give worry a place to thrive. It is like a hunger bang waiting to be feed. Many a times in a bid to satisfy this worry, Christians tend to dilute their once undiluted convictions. Some even go on to break their once rock solid faith in God to provide all their needs.
Next Day 1 – Favour without Boundaries.

Call it Thanksgivukkah or call it Chanugiving, by the time you lovely readers fall eagerly on this issue of the Copenhagen Post (as I know you always do), it will be upon us.
If you haven't heard about it already, don't feel bad. If you aren't Jewish and from the USA it doesn't really affect you. But for some of us, it is looming large.
On Thursday November 28, the Jewish holiday of Chanukah will coincide with Thanksgiving, the US holiday when families gather together to give thanks and eat turkey. Both holidays have positive overtones when it comes to interfaith understanding. Thanksgiving is a day that can be celebrated by all races and faiths in the US, while Chanukah, which usually falls in December, makes it possible for Jewish parents to survive Christmas.
Much to the chagrin of rabbis who would, quite rightly, like us to think of the spiritual dimension, Chanukah does a great job as a 'get out of jail free card' for Jewish parents.
Besides offsetting Christmas, for most Jewish families the Chanukah customs are many and fun. The festival commemorates the victory of a Jewish rebellion that led to the rededication of the temple. There was only enough oil to light the lamp for one night and it was going to take much longer to get more oil back to the temple. The oil miraculously lasted for eight nights and now Jews light a Chanukah menorah, adding a new candle for each of the eight nights. Presents are exchanged, there's a game with a spinning top called a dreydl, and lots of fried donuts and potato latkes are consumed, followed by plenty of antacid medication.
But what of Chanugiving? Well it is a seriously rare event for Chanukah and Thanksgiving to collide like this – so rare it has never happened before. The last time Chanukah was this early, there was no Thanksgiving, and it won't happen again for 75,000 years.
One person who is happy about the unusually early timing this year is Rochel Loewenthal, a native of Pittsburgh in the US and the co-director of Chabad Denmark, the Danish branch of the largest Jewish outreach organisation in the world.
Rochel and her husband, Rabbi Yitzi Loewenthal, have organised a yearly Chanukah celebration with the lighting of a giant menorah in the city centre since 1998.
This year promises to be bigger and better than ever, and the Copenhagen Jewish community organisation Mosaiske Trosamfund and the City Council are also on board. The event Chanukah i Byen (Chanukah in the City) will take place on Tuesday December 3 at Rådhuspladsen. Meanwhile, for Jewish Americans there will be a Chanukah-Thanksgiving dinner (all details are available on the Chabad Denmark website).

Q: How to extract ROI on grayscale image using edge detection I want to extract the white area on the image below (ROI) by using edge detection. I want to do this beacouse I must get very precise mask of white region. The image loks like this:

If I use some of matlab's inbuild functions the problem is that I also get edges outside of the white areas (on the border between black area and gray area), so if I erode outside edge I lose corners of white region at the both sides...

I also have to close the whole white area to get mask, after properly detected edges...
Any other suggestions to calculate mask of white area on the first image? I already tried thresholding and the method was quite succesfull...

A: If the images all look like that it looks really easy to solve:
Ibw=I>somevaluebiggerthangrey;

Then, if you want the perimeter, do
Iperim=bwperim(Ibw);

You shouled be able to find the value of somevaluebiggerthangrey as you rimage has clearly 3 colors. Find the "peak" value of those colors (e.g. result could be 0, 0.5 and 1) and give a value between the two peaks, such as somevaluebiggerthangrey=0.75. You shoudl be able to do this automatically using histogram and maybe findpeaks

Q: symfony2 twig html tags I'm fairly new with twig, so I'm having a little trouble.
I pass a variable to my twig template in Symfony2

{{ var.description|length > 100 ? var.description|slice(0, 100) ~ '...' : var.description }}

this variable contains html tags that were showing up so I stripped them

{{ var.description|striptags|length > 100 ? var.description|striptags|slice(0, 100) ~ '...' : var.description|striptags }}

But then the links and features don't work.  Is there a way to just output the html from the variable in a functional way?

A: If you want to render the first 100 characters of the description as html use this:

{{ var.description|length > 100 ? var.description|raw|slice(0, 100) ~ '...' : var.description }}

using the raw filter will allow html tags to be rendered.

When it comes to protecting your family's skin from sun damage, there's nothing more important than applying a good layer of sunscreen whenever you're spending time in the sun, so I've put together this guide to the best natural sunscreens for the face and body.
We all know the importance of thoroughly applying sunscreen before spending time in the sun, but when it comes to choosing the right sunscreen for everyone in the family it can be hard to know where to start. Natural and organic sunscreens are designed to form a physical shield on the skin to prevent sun damage, and come in a range of different formulas to suit the face and body as well as kids' delicate young skin, great for providing year-round protection from the sun's harsh UV rays.


EPC/CON or C/CON hangs at "P4" on boot.
The timing is incorrectly set.
There are problems with the modems or the phone lines.
There is a hardware problem with the host adapter or the concentrator.
Make sure the timing is set properly.
Verify the modems and the phone lines aren't the cause of the problem.
If it is possible, swap out the concentrator or switch the positions if there is more than one in the chain (adjust the node number appropriately). If the problem follows the concentrator it is probably a hardware issue with the concentrator (i.e. the concentrator may be defective). If the problem remains with the position it could be the cable, or a hardware issue with the adapter. If changing the cable does not solve the problem, then run the appropriate diagnostics on the host adapter to determine if there is a hardware problem with the host adapter.

Granted, wearables have become part of daily life for millions of consumers, especially considering the proliferation of fitness devices; however, their role in education doesn't get much visibility. According to a new report released on Market Research Reports and Technavio, things are about to change.
Analysts forecast the classroom wearable technology market in the US to grow at an annual growth rate of 45.52% during the period 2016-2020.
Some of the growth will come from common wrist wearable smart devices, such as watches and fitness trackers; however, most of the momentum is with head-wearable technology geared toward virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR).
This certainly isn't a new topic...many outlets have relayed the benefits of interactive and immersive learning for years. It's the steep rate of adoption that's getting the most attention.


Kendal is a vibrant, growing town of almost 30,000 people in South Lakeland and is also a gateway to the Lake District national park – itself a Unesco world heritage site. The town, eight miles south-east of Windermere, is listed in the Domesday book but while there is history to explore, it is the opportunity to experience great landscapes and outdoor pursuits that best sum up its many natural wonders.
Kendal and South Lakeland attract road and mountain bike enthusiasts, due to the beautiful and challenging terrain. For road cyclists, there are great short routes such as Kendal to Grange-over-Sands or Windermere, both 15 miles or less. The scenery is captivating and there's the option of a train ride back to Kendal, too. Road bikers who want to clock up the miles can try routes across the Lakes or into the Yorkshire Dales. And for the fit, and competitive, there's the annual Fred Whitton Challenge (13 May), with its 112-mile Lakeland circuit featuring the one-in-three slopes of Hardknott Pass. Recommended for mountain bikers are the Grizedale or Whinlatter trail centres where there is something for all abilities: singletrack or trail riding, along with bike hire, parking and cafe facilities.
With views over the Winster valley and four miles from Whitbarrow national nature reserve, this inn, which dates back to the 16th century, is the perfect pitstop. It's especially good in summer, when the terrace comes into its own. For cyclists who want to work up an appetite, there's a challenging road-ride loop via the Lyth valley and past Gummer's How, with views of Windermere; and for walkers a 1½ mile walk around Gummer's How.
Hidden up one of Kendal's many alleys is Red Door Kitchen, which makes the most delicious soups, with flavours such as pea and ham, sweetcorn and lemongrass, and mushroom and rosemary. Other dishes reflect a mix of styles, including Spanish, south-east Asian and South American. For example, beef and pork ragú with messicani pasta and nasi goreng (Indonesian fried rice). The coffee is top-notch as well. And Baba Ganoush, on Finkle Street, serves healthy lunches – the soups and salads are favourites.
Although it has a steep start, a walk from Kendal town hall and up Beast Banks to Brigsteer takes you on the old racecourse to the limestone escarpment of Scout Scar, with views of Morecambe Bay, the Langdales and central Lake District. It's a steady walk down to Sizergh Castle and Garden, where you can stop at the National Trust tearooms. Or continue for about 600 metres to the cosy Strickland Arms for classic pub grub and a beer garden in summer.
Nothing beats a summer evening swim at the lakeshore park of Fell Foot, at the southern end of Windermere. Last summer I took part in the Summer Solstice Starlight Swim (22 June, £22), a social swim followed by a glass of Pimms. It starts at 10pm and the swim lasts around 30 minutes. It was raining when I did it but the friendly atmosphere more than made up for it. The park also offers canoeing and kayaking, walking routes and running trails.
Not many inland towns can boast of a cliff-edge run but, starting in Kendal, a 10km loop will take you over the magnificent Scout Scar, with views over the Lyth valley to Morecambe Bay, and to the fells of the Lake District. Try it towards evening and there's a chance you'll catch an awesome sunset.
Visit Kendal has created a wonderful woodland trail – actually a circular walk – that sets off from Kendal Castle and heads onto the impressive limestone crag of Scout Scar and provides breathtaking views over the Lakeland fells and Morecambe Bay. It is also the summit of choice for the Kendal Mountain Festival 10k Trail Race.
The Howgills, a group of hills to the east of Kendal, aren't dramatic mountains like some in the Lakes: they're rounded and grass-covered, cut through with deep valleys. However, they have their own beauty and are the perfect place to escape the crowds (and traffic) that can afflict the Lakes at certain times of year. Walk from picturesque Sedbergh up to The Calf, the highest top in the fells (676 metres). Or explore the waterfalls at Cautley Spout from a hard-to-beat spot at the 400-year-old Crosskeys Temperance Inn.
An excellent rainy-day option – and/or a chance to improve existing skills – Kendal Wall climbing centre features England's highest indoor climbing wall (25 metres). It's a five-minute drive north of Kendal and also offers three bouldering spaces, a via ferrata, known as Skyline, and has a decent cafe.


Women tend to worry a lot about the way their nails look. They are always searching for the perfect nail shape to make themselves stand out from the rest of the crowd. If you are searching for the perfect nail shape for yourself, just remember that nail grooming is just as important as the shape you choose. Your nails need to be well-shaped and their hygiene must be maintained at all times. After all, the way you treat your nails will determine how beautiful your hands look. It will also make shaping the nails a little bit easier. First, you must choose the right shape for your nails and this can be a difficult task. Like most women, you may not be too familiar with all the various acrylic nail shapes that are available. This can make it difficult to find the one that will be perfect for you. Let's look at ten popular acrylic nail shapes and perhaps you'll be interested in one of them.
Have you ever noticed the curve on the top of your lipstick? Lipstick nails use the same shape as that curve. The sides of the shape are straight while the top has a straight, but diagonal curve. There are numerous variations of lipstick nails. Women usually wear them to informal events.
Nails that are shaped like ballerinas or coffins are similar to the stiletto nail shapes, except these have a tip that's squared off. This makes the design of these nails resemble the shape of a coffin. It also tends to resemble the shape of the slippers that ballerina dancers wear on their feet while they're dancing. Some people turn their natural nails into this shape, but it is much easier to do with fake nails.
Duck or flared shaped nails are a unique acrylic nail style. Women like them because they can grow their real nails as long as they want and it won't affect the look of the duck shapes. These nails often have wide tips and narrow nail beds. With these nail shapes, you can experiment with a lot of different nail arts.
Almond shaped nails give women a feminine and classy look that no other acrylic nail shape can provide them. If you want your fingers to appear thin and long, then almond nail shapes will be perfect for you. The only problem is the shape won't allow the nails to be able to extend. So, if you want to grow your nails then this particular shape won't work out well for you.
Mountain or stiletto shaped nails are becoming increasingly popular. You'll often see Hollywood actresses and celebrities wearing these nail shapes on their hands. They are typically long and extended shapes that have a pointed tip. If you have long nails, then you can purchase fake nails of this particular shape and then file them down as you see fit.
Squoval nails are a combination of oval and square shapes for your nails. This unique shape is suitable with virtually all nail beds, which makes them popular with women all around the world. Just remember the sides of the nail beds need to have straight walls. You also need to shape the top of the nail into one that looks like a smooth oval.
Oval shaped nails are really just a combination of rounded, square, and almond shaped acrylic nails. This allows the oval nails to be suitable for women with short, medium, or long nails. You can even turn the tip into an oval shape with a file. If you want a more feminine look, use the file on the sides as well.
Square nails are trending like crazy amongst women who like acrylic nail shapes. What's even more popular are the square nails that have sharp or edgy corners to them. Women like this look because it makes their hands look more appealing and prominent. The width of these nails does not get altered either, which allows you to try different nail designs out on them.
If you like shorter nails, then you can't go wrong with round nail shapes. Just beware that these nail shapes are quite prone to breaking. The good news is they can be fixed very easily too. With a file, you can maintain the shape of your nails with ease. Then after they grow out from their nail bed, you can file them into a nice round shape.
Square shaped nails resemble a classic French nail style that is perfect for women who have a wide nail bed. Once the nails grow longer, they can be filed in the appropriate shape. Women all around the world are starting to use acrylic square nail shapes because it is the new hot look in female fashion. It doesn't matter if you're old or young because square shaped nails look beautiful on all women.

Marketing the "Diwali" Way | Business Article | MBA Skool-Study.Learn.Share.
Personally speaking Diwali has always been a festival of joy, hope and celebration for me. As a child I remember my grandmother used to quietly slip a hundred rupee note in my pocket so that I could buy crackers. My mother says I used to be so excited on receiving it that it made her think that I got my first pay check. Nevertheless, it wasn't even less than a pay check for me. She knew those miniature form of "atom bombs" would make me jump out of bed.
I grew up in a small middle class family. One thing that used to amaze me was the number of gifts that rained on Diwali. I always wondered why did people exchanged gifts on this day. Silly thoughts encircled my mind like suddenly on the eve of diwali everyone becomes rich and so to "show off" they give gifts. Also, I loved the Cadbury chocolate pack which Papa used to bring for us. All siblings fought over the chocolates for the simple reason that it was "chocolate".
As I write this today all those memories are revived. Now I think all those questions have eventually lost their meaning.
Besides fun and enjoyment there are some very special things related to Diwali which leaves an endless impact on our mind. I am talking about Diwali Commercials we see every year. Each year it comes with different message, though brands remain the same but the presentation, picturization and concept comes in a unique way.
From a festival of joy and victory, Diwali has turned into a huge event for big companies like Cadbury, coca cola, Maruti to define a brand new relationship with consumers. A relation of love, trust and most importantly spreading happiness.
When asked Which is the Diwali commercial that has been an all time favourite for the industry?
The above ad has been beautifully made and serves to convey the underlying message to the consumer in a very subtle manner. Cadbury chocolates serves as a simple and essential way of making up for past mistakes and as a token forgiveness. Going by the expressions of the young man and the so called " Chacha" a instant connect is developed between the viewer and the ad. In the middle of this Cadbury chocolates pop up and bring a smile on their face.
Cadbury's seems to be the brand and campaign to have captured minds and hearts. Every ad has something special, unique and quintessential about Diwali & India.
But this all comes at a massive cost. Biggies shell out huge amount of money every year for such ad campaigns. Just go to Cadbury celebrations official facebook and see for yourself what marketing is all about. You will be taken away by a beautiful tagline imprinted on eye capturing saffron background.
Thumbs up for this. Is n't it a nice strategy to tap customers from facebook- the largest social networking platform? A survey says 25% of the retailer's online revenue comes from Facebook. Advertising on Facebook has tripled from last year.
On an average 3.2 billion people like and comment everyday. When you have a strong presence on Facebook, your business is part of these conversations and has access to the most powerful kind of word-of-mouth marketing — recommendations between friends.
In a yet another move to push sales in India Volkswagen has launched a new exciting contest ahead of Diwali. It is named as "Post it". It involves press, digital and out of home media to woo customers in the car market.
Smartphones are flooding market this festival season.
Nokia is back this Diwali with "Lumia 510". It will hit the market few days from now. The company is promoting it as a Diwali gift for the youth in the 18-24 year age group. It's a move to regain smartphone market in india.
Even before the launch of iPhone 5 in India telecom operators such as Airtel and Aircel have announced their exclusive data plans.
eBay- the popular ecommerce site as usual is offering attractive discount deals.
Indians love to buy gold during Diwali. Keeping that in mind and going by TOI this year the sale of gold is expected to rise by 40%. High gold prices are unlikely to come in way of demand. According to Rahul Singh- House Head Marketing light weight jewellery is in demand with rise in prices. People are buying gold in anticipation that prices will rise in near future. Indiatimes is giving 10 % additional discount on purchase of gold coins this year. Go grab the offer.
HDFC has also announced its credit card offer. Now with every purchase on a HDFC credit card you get 2 % cash back.
Mahindra is promoting its scooters(Duro dz) it's way. Now with every purchase of Mahindra scooter petrol worth rupee 2000 is on the platter.
Now let's talk about something very very interesting. Asian paints has come up with an idea which is sure to grab your attention. Just visit Asian paints facebook page and see for yourself what's awaiting you. Participate In 'Colour Ki Ladi' Contest.
3 prizes worth Rs. 1,000/- each will be announced every week.
If that is not enough to excite you than one lucky person can even get a chance to win a complete home makeover- all for free by Asian Paints.
At the end we realize that this is a time for consumers to do lots of shopping and for business's to make lots of profits. I wish as any other year this Diwali also brings with it lots of sparks, joy and goodies. Just make sure you enjoy all these benefits with your dear ones and make the most out of diwali schemes. Business houses will anyway find their way into your home through new and innovative marketing tricks. With all new packaging for the crackers, marketers will blow life into our very own local brand crackers. At the very first sight of these crackers one think if they have all taken a special "make over" from Shehnaz Hussain's boutique. With these thoughts I take leave from all my dear readers.

The Life and Work of Man Ray, Modernist Artist
Humanities › Visual Arts
McKeown / Getty Images
by Jeffrey Somers
Jeff Somers is an award-winning writer who has authored nine novels, over 40 short stories, and Writing Without Rules, a non-fiction book about the business and craft of writing.
An enigma during his lifetime, Man Ray was a painter, sculptor, filmmaker, and poet. He is best known for his photography and experimental art in the Dadaist and Surrealist mode. Ray was one of the rare artists who never seemed to struggle. After launching a serious career in his youth, he moved effortlessly between media, formats, styles, and geographical locations. Today, Ray is revered as a modernist icon.
Fast Facts: Man Ray
Known For: Painter and photographer associated with the Dadaist and Surrealist artistic movements
Born: August 27, 1890 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA
Died: November 18, 1976 in Paris, France
Major Works: The Rope Dancer Accompanies Herself with Her Shadows, Le Cadeau (The Gift), Le Violon d'Ingres (The Violin of Ingres), Les Larmes (Glass tears)
Spouse(s): Adon Lacroix (1914-1919, formally divorced in 1937); Juliet Browner (1946-1976)
Man Ray, circa 1952. Michel Sima
Man Ray was born Emmanuel Radnitzky in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on August 27, 1890. Shortly after, the family moved to Williamsburg, Brooklyn, where Emmanuel—known as Manny to his family—grew up. In 1912, when Emmanuel was 22, the Radnitzky family changed their name to Ray in an effort to avoid the antisemitism they had encountered. Emmanuel and his siblings changed their first names to match. A cultivator of mystery, Ray often refused to admit that he'd ever had a different name.
Ray demonstrated artistic skill at an early age. In high school, he learned the fundamentals of drafting and illustration, and after graduation announced his intention to become a professional artist. Ray's family was concerned about the viability of this career decision and would have preferred their son apply his artistic and creative talents as an architect, but nonetheless supported him by creating a studio space in their home. During this period, Ray took work as a commercial artist and technical illustrator in order to support himself and his family.
Early Work and Dada
The Gift by Man Ray. Public Domain
In 1912, Ray moved to New York City to attend the Modern School (also called the Ferrer School). In New York, he founded his footing, moving away from the classic painting styles of the 19th century and embracing modern movements such as cubism and Dada. Two years after arriving in New York, Ray married his first wife: poet Adon Lacroix. The couple couple separated five years later.
Early paintings such as The Rope Dancer Accompanies Herself with Her Shadows saw Ray using modernist techniques to capture a sense of movement in painting; the work is an explosion of images that make no obvious sense but which pull together as a memory of a tight-rope walker. Later, Man Ray absorbed the concept of Readymades from friend and fellow artist Marcel Duchamp during this period, creating works such as The Gift, a sculpture created from everyday objects combined in an unusual and striking way—in this case, an old iron and some carpenter's thumbtacks. The result is an object with no definable use that nonetheless comments on the gender divisions of modern life at the time.
Ray brought immense discipline and planning to his work. This attitude subverted the popular notion that surrealism relied on luck rather than artistic ability.
Paris, Photography, and Surrealism
Le Violon d'Ingres by Man Ray. Public Domain
In 1921, Ray moved to Paris, where he would live until 1940. Unlike many American artists who flocked to Paris only to return a short time later, Ray quickly became comfortable on the European stage. In Paris, he concentrated on his photographic work, exploring techniques such as solarization and rayographs, which he produced by arranging objects directly on photographic paper. He also made short experimental films in the surrealist mode.
At the same time, Ray became an in-demand fashion photographer, with work regularly gracing notable fashion magazines such as Vogue and Vanity Fair. Ray took on the fashion work to pay the bills, but by integrating his surrealist sensibility and experimental approach into his fashion photography, Ray used the work to strengthen his reputation as a serious artist.
Ray's photography was unpredictable and surprising, treating his subjects as objects that could be modified or arranged in unusual ways. One famous example is his photograph Le Violon d'Ingres, which features Kiki de Montparnasse, with whom Ray was romantically involved for years. In the image, de Montparnasse is photographed from behind wearing only a turban. Ray painted the sound-holes of a violin on her back, noting the similarity in shape between a violin and a women's body.
Another example of Ray's surrealist approach to photography is Les Larmes, a photo that at first glance appears to be a model looking upwards with glass tears affixed to her face. Even that superficially artistic impression is inaccurate, however; the subject isn't a model at all but a mannequin, expressing Ray's longtime interest in mixing the real and the unreal.
Interrogating the Past
Les Larmes by Man Ray. Public Domain
World War II forced Ray to move back to the United States from Paris in 1940. Instead of New York, he settled in Los Angeles, where he would live until 1951. In Hollywood, Ray shifted his focus back to painting, as he believed fervently that all modes of artistic expression were equally interesting. He also met his second wife, dancer Juliet Browner. The couple married in 1946.
Ray and Browner moved to Paris in 1951, where Ray began to interrogate his own artistic legacy. He recreated earlier pieces that had been destroyed in the war as well as other iconic works. He made 5,000 copies of The Gift in 1974, for example, many of which can be found in museums around the world today.
Death and Legacy
Black and White by Man Ray. Public Domain
In 1976, the 86-year-old Ray died of complications stemming from a lung infection. He passed away in his studio in Paris.
Active and creatively vibrant up until his final days, Man Ray is remembered as one of the most important and influential modern artists of the 20th century. His early efforts in the Dada style helped establish the Dadaist movement. Ray's painting and photography work broke new ground, redefining the boundaries of subject matter and broadening notions of what art could be.
"One of the satisfactions of a genius is his will-power and obstinacy."
"There is no progress in art, any more than there is progress in making love. There are simply different ways of doing it."
"To create is divine, to reproduce is human."
"l paint what cannot be photographed, and l photograph what l do not wish to paint."
"I do not photograph nature. I photograph my visions."

NEY PUT
Neymar set to sign lucrative new PSG contract after 'accepting Barcelona cannot afford transfer'
Marc Mayo
Updated: 3 Nov 2020, 19:59
NEYMAR is reportedly ready to rule out a return to Barcelona and commit to Paris Saint-Germain.
A five-year deal with the Ligue 1 club is now on the agenda for the Brazilian following multiple transfer sagas involving his old team.
Neymar, 28, is set to finally end talk of a move to Barcelona and sign a new PSG contractCredit: Getty - Pool
According to FootMercato, Neymar told PSG bosses that he wanted to sign a fresh contract during their run to the Champions League final.
Bayern Munich beat Les Parisiens in their first trip to the showpiece match, with RB Leipzig, Borussia Dortmund and Atalanta conquered in the knockout rounds.
It was after PSG's victory over the Serie A side that the 28-year-old is said to have made his mind up on staying.
Currently earning north of £600,000-a-week, Neymar is reportedly content with a contract on the same terms.
He is said to have communicated his desire directly to PSG chairman Nasser Al-Khelaifi, although negotiations are not expected to be completed overnight.
PSG are thought to be focusing on renewing Kylian Mbappe's contract as a matter of greater urgency.
The Frenchman, 21, is a massive target for Real Madrid next summer, with both players' deals expiring in 2022.
Ruled out until the end of the month with a groin injury, Neymar has two goals and four assists to his name in 2020-21.
A move back to Barcelona was strongly touted last year and the winger even told PSG he wanted to leave.

City of Ottawa reclaims some of the $558,000 stolen in fraud scam
OTTAWA — The City of Ottawa says it will reclaim at least some of the funds that were stolen after the local Salvation Army homeless shelter was targeted by fraudsters.
Laura Osman, The Canadian Press Apr 22, 2022 2:42 PM Apr 22, 2022 3:05 PM
An automated donation stand for the Salvation Army is seen on the way out of a grocery store in Montreal, Monday, Dec. 21, 2020. The City of Ottawa says it will reclaim at least some of the funds that were stolen after the Salvation Army homeless shelter was targeted by fraudsters. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Paul Chiasson
Last week, city treasurer Wendy Stephanson announced the city had been defrauded out of $558,000 after staff noticed an irregularity related to a payment made to a partner agency.
In a memo to councillors, Stephanson now says that partner agency is the Salvation Army Ottawa Booth Centre, a local homeless shelter that was the victim of "illegal action."
The city's bank says that $355,000 of the stolen $558,000 is in the process of being returned to the city's account, and more is expected in the near future.
The Salvation Army is co-operating with the police investigation.
The city has also launched its own internal investigation into how the money was stolen.

By Rana Novini, Lori Bordonaro and Nicole Avella	• Published July 9, 2018 • Updated on July 10, 2018 at 6:25 pm
A 35-year-old woman was running through Bronx River Forest Park at around 8 a.m. Monday when a stranger tried to rape her.
The woman was able to escape, but encountered the man a second time and was able to take a picture of him with her cellphone.
The NYPD is still trying to identify the suspect who is described as 17-25 years old with a slim build.
After fighting off a would-be rapist, a woman ran into her attacker a second time while trying to escape the Bronx park where she was jogging, police say.
The 35-year-old woman was running through a wooded section of Bronx River Forest Park at around 8 a.m. Monday when a stranger came up behind her, according to NYPD.
The attacker tried to cover her mouth with his hand as he pulled her backwards, but she was able to fight him off and call out for help before running further into the park to escape.
The victim ran into her attacker a second time as she tried to find a way out of the park, and was able to snap a picture of him with her cellphone.
She was able to escape the park with minor injuries which were treated at the scene by EMS.
A witness who had been passing the park saw the suspect leaving the scene, but was unaware of the situation at the time.
"We see somebody running. We didn't know what it was and then he just disappeared into the bushes," the witness told News 4 New York.
Neighbors say the park isn't exactly known for being safe, but were surprised nevertheless to hear about the attack.
"The neighborhood is usually pretty safe. I walk my dog late up the street like 10 o'clock at night," said Robin Seamon.
The NYPD is looking for help to identify the attacker using the photo taken by the victim. The suspect is described as 17 to 25 years old with a slim build, as seen in the photo above.
Anyone with additional information is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA. Tips can also be submitted through the Crime Stoppers website.

The Anatolian Shepherd Dog is a rather large breed that was developed in Turkey where it was primarily used to guard livestock. It is known by numerous names including the Anatolian Shepherd, Anatolian Shepherd Dog, Anatolian Blackhead, Blackhead, Anadolulu Karabas, Kara Bas, Kangal, Coban Kopegi, Chien de Berger d'Anatolie, Perro de Pastor de Anatolia, Karabash and the Anatolischer Hirtenhund. Anatolian Shepherds got their name from their home of origin, which was Anatolia in Central Turkey. It is thought that the breed dates back about 6,000 years when tribes from Central Asia brought Mastiffs to Turkey. These early dogs were crossed with various sighthound breeds to produce the Anatolian Shepherds we know today. The main purpose of Anatolian Shepherds throughout the years has been to guard flocks of goats and sheep. While these dogs were extremely protective over their flocks, they could be quite vicious when faced with predators. They were first brought to the U.S. in 1970, and shortly after their arrival, the Anatolian Shepherd Dog Club of America was formed.
The Anatolian is a large, strong and muscular dog breed with high endurance levels. It has a large head, thick neck and is known for its calm expression. Antolian Shepherds have dense double coats that need to be brushed regularly due to shedding. The Anatolian Shepherd is a large breed of dog that can weigh anywhere between 80 and 150 pounds when fully grown. This is an extremely muscular dog that has a broad head sitting atop a thick neck. It has small, triangular drop ears, a long tail and eyes that can be light amber or dark brown in color. The coat of the Anatolian Shepherd dog is short and can be fawn-colored, liver, cream, white or brindle. Many of these dogs also have a black mask and/or white "stockings" on one or more legs. Typically, Anatolian Shepherds have black noses, with the exception of liver-colored dogs, which can have self-colored noses. Personality: Anatolians are gentle giants who take their role as family protectors very seriously. They were bred to herd independently of humans, so they need to be socialized early otherwise they can be territorial and aggressive towards strangers. Anatolians are intelligent dogs that like to roam, so they need ample daily exercise. The Anatolian Shepherd Dog is friendly towards children but not very playful breed. While Anatolian Shepherd Dogs are very intelligent, they can be quite independent and stubborn. Furthermore, a full grown Anatolian Shepherd can be extremely hard to handle if it is not trained properly. As such, it is essential that you begin training your pet when it is still young. Although these dogs can make great family pets, due to their large size, they are not recommended for people who have small children. Active dogs of this size can easily knock over and hurt a small child. Additionally, if you choose one of these dogs, it is important to provide it with a lot of space to exercise. If you are looking for a dog that will make a wonderful companion and guard dog, an Anatolian Shepherd may be the breed for you. While these dogs are quite distrusting of strangers, they are very protective of their human family members. They are also extremely active and love to run and play.

The grooming requirements for Anatolian Shepherd Dogs are quite minimal and basically involve an occasional bathing and brushing. However, you will want to brush your pet daily during shedding seasons. Additionally, you should check its ears regularly and wipe out any excess wax with a damp cloth. If the nails grow overly long, you can cut the tips of them using a pliers-type pet nail clipper.
Are you an Anatolian Shepherd Dog Parent?
While a healthy Anatolian Shepherd Dog can live about 10 to 15 years, there are some health conditions the breed may be prone to developing. These issues can be found listed below. Nevertheless, it is essential to note that responsible breeders test for these issues, and do not use dogs suffering from any of these problems in their breeding programs: Hip Dysplasia, Entropian, Skin Allergies, Lipomas, and Anesthesia Sensitivity.

Steelers Defeat Browns 34-21 (AP)
AP - Ben Roethlisberger missed a second straight game with an injured knee, though it hardly mattered to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Their other three quarterbacks were just fine. Charlie Batch improvised a 1-yard touchdown run late in the second quarter, and his passing led to another score before he left with a broken right hand. The Steelers withstood their second QB injury in three weeks to beat the rival Cleveland Browns 34-21 Sunday night.
Bucs Roll Dice to Beat Redskins 36-35 (AP)

Colts top Texans 31-17, improve to 9-0 (AP)
The Indianapolis Colts have a message for the NFL: The Triplets are back and better than ever. Not to mention still perfect.

Panthers win sixth straight, ground Jets (AP)
When the Carolina Panthers handed cornerback Ken Lucas a $36.5 million free-agent contract, more than a few eyebrows were raised -- even inside their own locker room.

Bears win on 108-yard missed FG return (AP)
What the heck? Nathan Vasher caught the missed field goal deep in the end zone on the final play of the first half and decided to bring it out.

Special teams TDs lift Vikes over Giants (AP)
The Minnesota Vikings reversed two negative trends Sunday despite having their worst offensive day of the season. The Vikings became the first team in NFL history to return a punt, kickoff and interception for touchdowns, then their offense came to life long enough to set up kicker Paul Edinger's 48-yard field goal with 10 seconds left in a 24-21 win over the New York Giants.
Unknown Gado helps Packers upset Falcons (AP)
Dr. Gado, paging Dr. Gado. You're needed in the Green Bay Packers' backfield.

"It was surreal," said Gado, who was given the game ball.
Steelers lose QB Batch, top Browns 34-21 (AP)
For many NFL teams, all these quarterback injuries might ruin a season. The Pittsburgh Steelers simply plug in another player and keep winning. Charlie Batch improvised a 1-yard touchdown run late in the second quarter, and his passing led to another score before he left with a broken right hand. The Steelers withstood their second QB injury in three weeks to beat the rival Cleveland Browns 34-21...
Alexander, Seahawks run by Rams (AP)
It was as if dice-rolling coach Mike Martz was calling plays from his St. Louis-area home Sunday. The Rams, actually under the direction of assistant head coach Joe Vitt while Martz recovers from a heart virus, were lining up for a field goal in the second quarter to add to a 3-0 lead against first-place Seattle.
Brady rallies Patriots past Dolphins (AP)
Bill Belichick showed again how resourceful he can be. Not that Nick Saban expected anything less from his mentor. With no running back, a Saban castoff at fullback and reserves at three other offensive positions, Belichick and the injury-riddled New England Patriots still beat Saban's Miami Dolphins 23-16 Sunday.
Mistake-free Broncos beat Raiders 31-17 (AP)
Jake Plummer threw a slant pass toward Rod Smith when Kirk Morrison stepped in front, seemingly poised for an interception and maybe even a touchdown return. He dropped the ball. That's the kind of season it's been for Plummer: Even when he makes mistakes, somehow he escapes unscathed. Now, his Denver Broncos are in command of the AFC West.

Brown, Knicks get first win, beat Kings (AP)

James reaches mark, Cavaliers win in OT (AP)
LeBron James made history. Donyell Marshall helped make sure it came in a victory.

"Unbelievable," Cleveland coach Mike Brown said.

LaFrentz, who had his 2003-04 season cut short following right knee surgery in December 2003, matched his career high for points, added eight rebounds and...
Iverson helps Sixers win fourth in a row (AP)
Lee Nailon was startled when he saw the sizable crowd in front of his locker that left him less room to move than when he's trapped in even the toughest double team.

Minus Martin, Nuggets beat Timberwolves (AP)
Marcus Camby had another dominant game, DerMarr Johnson came through in a surprise start and the Denver Nuggets finally started looking like the good team many people thought they'd be this season.

Sonics need OT to beat winless Raptors (AP)
Rashard Lewis hated the thought of losing to the lowly Toronto Raptors, so he played his best game of the young season. Lewis scored 41 points Sunday, and the Seattle SuperSonics recovered after blowing an 18-point lead in the fourth quarter to beat the winless Raptors 126-121 in overtime. "It would have been real bad for us if we didn't win," Lewis said.
Arenas' 43 lift Wizards over Spurs (AP)
Everything was going in for Gilbert Arenas on a 43-point night, right down to a 30-foot heave off the glass at the third-quarter buzzer. And nothing was going in for Tim Duncan on a 3-for-18 night, right down to putbacks with the ball near the rim. In a game the hosts insisted might as well have been against any ol' team -- rather than a meaningful, show-how-good-we-are matchup against the reigning...
Bucks' Williams beats buzzer and Pacers (AP)
Mo Williams predicted Indiana's last defensive strategy and it worked out for the Milwaukee Bucks. Williams hit a 3-pointer at the buzzer, rallying the Bucks from a 14-point deficit in the fourth quarter as they beat the Pacers 103-102 Saturday night. "I felt like they would play for the drive. Rather than shoot the tough shot, I tried a shot I know I can make," he said, preferring the open floor...
Gasol denies Hawks first win at buzzer (AP)
The Memphis Grizzlies knew that they were due to win a close game. Pau Gasol's tip-in at the final buzzer lifted the Grizzlies to an 85-84 victory over the winless Hawks on Saturday night. Shane Battier scored a season-high 22 points, but his biggest play may have been his ability to get just enough of his hand on a missed 3-pointer by Mike Miller to push the ball to Gasol for the game-winning tip.
There's a lot to like about the new NHL, but don't count the schedule – void of a Power Rankings showdown – on the list of positives.
Bertuzzi's trick leads Canucks by Wings (AP)
The only difference Todd Bertuzzi sees in his game is a little good fortune is now coming his way. Bertuzzi notched his fourth career hat trick Sunday night, lifting the slumping Canucks to a 4-1 victory over the NHL-leading Detroit Red Wings. With five goals in three games, Bertuzzi matched his total from the previous 33 -- dating to the 2003-04 season when he scored just 17.
Frolov, Conroy get tricks in Kings' win (AP)
The Los Angeles Kings were concerned about being shown up. The Columbus Blue Jackets should have been the worried ones. Alexander Frolov scored three goals in the opening 12:35 -- on a power play, at even strength and short-handed -- and Craig Conroy also had a hat trick to lead the Kings to an 8-2 victory on Sunday.
Turco keeps Stars hot, beats Ducks 3-1 (AP)
The Dallas Stars were too busy killing penalties in the first period to mount any offense. Once they did, it was too much for the Anaheim Mighty Ducks to overcome. The Stars went more than 12 minutes before getting their first shot Sunday night. But they scored on their third and fourth attempts against Jean-Sebastien Giguere, as Philippe Boucher and Jere Lehtinen connected 50 seconds apart in the...
Bell scores twice, 'Hawks top Oilers (AP)
Nikolai Khabibulin finally displayed the skills that earned him a big contract with the Chicago Blackhawks. Khabibulin, who signed a four-year, $27 million deal this past summer, made 26 saves -- including several tough ones -- to lead Chicago to a 3-1 win over the Edmonton Oilers. The Blackhawks took a 3-0 lead in the first period on just five shots against Jussi Markkanen.
Thrashers end 'Canes streak with 9-0 win (AP)

Understanding the difference between home equity loan and second mortgage.
Everyone has a dream to get their own house at some point or the other in their lifespan. Getting yourself a house is not an easy task and if you are not prepared with a budget then they are few options which one can consider, they are home equity loan and a second mortgage. Well, both are loans that can be used, but it is vital to understand the difference between both types of loans because they have differences in the interest rates, the repayment structure is different etc.
So what is a second Mortgage?
The second mortgage is nothing but another form of loan where you will get a lump sum amount as per your first mortgage. This loan can be available after your first mortgage and usually, the closing rates are considered to be very low compared to that of the first loan. The interest rates and the repayment structure for your second mortgage will be the same process.
The loan process is simple and the success rate is actually a lot higher because your profile has already been audited before giving out your first loan. The key to getting a second mortgage loan is that the individual should have a valid income proof and also a good history of clearing the loans. This will help to expedite the process.
So what is Home Equity Loan is all about?
Most of the time people tend to use HELOC as a secondary mortgage and creates a confusion while opting the loan. It is always advised to make sure and go through the fine prints or the documentation offered by the bank to understand whether it is a second mortgage or a true line of credit.
It is like a credit card where you will have a certain limit to it in terms of spending and the repayments can be done based on how much amount of money has been utilized. The limit is actually determined by your qualification and also property evaluation.
So what is the difference and which one is better?
Both of the loan types can help you accomplish your goals and also reduce your debt. Also, second mortgages are usually tax deductibles. So while opting any of the loans, i.e. Second Mortgage or home equity loan, make sure that you don't deplete all of your home equity.
Also, the sum of both the loans cannot be more than 90 to 95 percent of the home value. This will help you to have some cash for yourself when you decide to sell your house. Please read through all the documents pertaining to the loans and consult your lender before opting any of the loans.


I'm here because I've been told to try out teaching semi-professionally. I thought to myself "Why not"?
I'm willing to do the first class free of charge (but I prefer the first class to be just 30 minutes) but I'm hoping this will be semi-regular.
