The New Braunfels housing market offers a variety of choices. And considering the housing growth in New Braunfels and Comal County is amongst the highest in the state, a home in New Braunfels is not only a great place to live but likely a good investment.
New Braunfels Housing will vary from luxury condominiums to historic victorian homes, from garden home lots to standard size city lots. Or if acreage is your preference, the New Braunfels Housing Market area offers several acreage subdivisions. If being on or close to the water is your desire, then consider the opportunities available on the Comal or Guadalupe River or one of the area lakes.
Residential neighborhoods range from conventional subdivisions to gated communities.
Education is a value we do not compromise on and one that is deeply rooted in our community. Our New Braunfels founding fathers were the first to tax their citizens and create the first public school in Texas. Two public school districts (New Braunfels and Comal Independent School Districts) serve Comal County. Private and parochial schools play an important role in the diverse educational opportunities in New Braunfels.
NBISD encompasses 13 campuses to include: eight elementary campuses, two middle schools, one ninth grade center, one 10th-12th grade high school – NB HS Unicorns, and one alternative learning center. Comal ISD also serves many New Braunfels students.
Quality Post-Secondary Education has become a major goal in New Braunfels. Attracting such initiatives as the Central Texas Technology Center, offering courses from Alamo Colleges. Additionally, Howard Payne University is opening a campus in the coming years, classes are already offered and in progress.
Nestled throughout New Braunfels are restaurants of unique and diverse dining experiences. Dine on the banks of the Guadalupe on Texas Cuisine, gobble down delectable Tex Mex, and linger over authentic German dishes all in one little berg. For lighter fare venture into the Naeglins Bakery, the oldest bakery in Texas, sip a cool or hot one at a bistro or one of the coffee shops. Round out the day with a great picnic featuring our local award winning BBQ. For that special occasion of a vacation celebration experience, fine dining in historic downtown New Braunfels restaurants is always a great option!
Whatever you have a hankerin' for, find it in a local restaurant.
Explore unique boutiques, great antiques, and unknown treasures. Shop downtown New Braunfels, framed by historic facilities. Downtown retailers offer unique ladies boutiques, hard to find home furnishings, the oldest hardware store, Henne's, in Texas, and a treasure hunter's mecca of vintage finds. Or immerse yourself in Gruene Historic District and discover specialty stores, wine tasting, and Texana favorites. Creekwood Center recently opened with several big box stores anchoring the stores.
Lots of live music in New Braunfels. Gruene Hall has music pretty much every day of the week. Check out big name performers who headline on weekends. Other venues offer local musicians performances.
New Braunfels is host to Wurstfest – the 10-day salute to sausage typically in early November. Besides sausage and other favorite food, there is plenty of Ompah music and accordion playing while men in lederhosen and women in dirndls polka and schottische.
Schlitterbahn is a very popular attraction. Open during the summer, explore over seventy acres of shared family fun, thrilling adventure, and relaxation! Schlitterbahn is nestled along the beautiful banks of the Comal River and features world-famous attractions, epic river adventures, kid's water playgrounds, and beautiful spots to relax and share a picnic.
Landa Park is a 51-acre riverside park with a miniature train, nature trail, mini-golf, picnic tables & more.
There is plenty to do on the Guadalupe and Comal Rivers. Toobin is a favorite sport.


I hope you can join my team tomorrow, November 4th from 9am-10:30am in MSR 130 for the second staff-focused Presidential Transition Team open forum! We want to hear from you about how we can take our campus to the next level! Come share your thoughts with the team!

Ladies forgive me for invading your board. I'm almost 42 so I belong on the 40-44 year old board but I could use a reference point that I do not think I will find on my board as I am quite a bit younger than my husband. Are there any women out there with husbands in their late 50s to mid 60s?
I just miscarried our twins this past weekend. You know those lovely intelligent comments people make when you MC, well I've gotten my fill today. I think if one more idiot tells me that my miscarriage is a \"blessing\" because of my husband's age and then makes some reference to his dying I may resort to violence.
It is not like my husband is in poor health or they have a reason to make the comment. The man is more likely to have an accident felling a tree and crush himself than to have a heart attack. I buried a 41 year old husband before I met my current husband so I just do not believe in numbers anymore but right now I've developed an infection from the mc and I feel so crappy I could really use the moral support of knowing we are not alone.
Im so so sorry for your loss,Im so sad for you and so feel your pain.
I believe we cycled together.
I stoped worrying what people think long time ago cause no matter what,theyll always find something wrong with you!

Just ignore them and go on with your life,the most important thing right now is your close family,thats what I believe.
My husband is 53 and Im turning 47 in July and quite frankly this is no ones business how old you are.
In other words,dont bother too much with people,its not worth it.
Take the time for yourself right now cause youll need to heal from this terrible experience.

Ill pray for you to be able to cycle once more as soon as you`re ready.
pickles, i am so so sorry for your loss. People are so dumb. they say the stupidist things. i'm sure they don't think before they insert foot into mouth half the time.
Dear Pickles - I am so sorry for your loss. I had a few of those ignorant comments, too, but was really surprised at one from a preschool teacher. I had a m/c in fall 2007 and she said that it was for the best because of my dh's health. It threw me for a loop. She's a really sweet girl, too. Please take care of yourself, both physically and emotionally. Hugs to you.
I turned 51 in Feb. and had my twins 5 days later. My other daughter will be 5 in July, and my dh is 62-1/2. I KNOW that he's older and people don't need to remind me of that. He's also got Parkinson's and has had it for almost 18 years. We obviously didn't have these kids through 'oops' pregnancies and went into it knowing what our difficulties might be. The other night a woman asked my dd if dh was her grand dad...it was likely because his doctor adjusted his meds and the results have not been good (so he's going back to the old amounts) and he was walking like a really old man.
The age things doesn't bother me, and I just tell people that there's no guarantee a 40 year old will be around to see his/her kids grown, married, etc. You are one who already knows that first hand. I've had several friends and former co workers pass away in the last several years, and most of them have been in their 40's. Life does not give you guarantees. Period.
So to all those who think we shouldn't have kids at our ages, I thumb my nose at them. We are financially set, pretty much, and I'll be SAHM in a few years. We've been married for 27 years and just did the 'empty nest' thing first, and THEN had the kids. Not our choice, but it's the way things turned out and I actually am glad for it.
Yes, age is only a number. Dh and I intend to be around for many years.

IDFA 101: The Past and Present of Mobile Advertising on iPhones
June 18, 2021 Interceptd Mobile Ads
Reading Time: 11 minutes
The long-awaited iOS 14.5 is finally here. Apple released the update, iOS 14.5, on April 26. While this packs a lot of benefits for iPhone users such as the ability to unlock the iPhone with the Apple Watch, it also spells further doom for you, the mobile advertiser, with its App Tracking Transparency (ATT) framework.
What this feature does is that it requires apps to send standard iOS prompts to iPhone users to be able to track their activities when they're not in the app, such as when they're using other apps or when they're surfing the internet.
Already, Apple had killed the Identifier for Advertisers (IDFA) with the introduction of iOS 14, which now makes device ID advertising on iOS more difficult. You may ask, so what is the alternative to IDFA device ID tracking? We'll answer that in this article as well as explain in detail everything you need to know about IDFA.
What is IDFA?
IDFA, which translates to an Identifier for Advertisers, is a mobile advertising ID given to the users of Apple devices. With this Apple advertising ID, you can track user data on iPhone devices to provide customized advertising to iPhone users. IDFA allows you to perform device ID tracking without revealing personal information about your activities.
Because IDFA is unique to each iOS user, you can see just one IDFA per user and use it to provide unique adverts to that user as well as track the user's response to your ad campaign.
While IDFA is specific to Apple users, Google Advertising ID (GAID) or Android Advertising ID (AAID) is specific to Android users. Like IDFA, GAID allows advertisers to track ad activities on Android devices without disclosing their identity to the users.
How does IDFA work for attribution?
Before the introduction of iOS 14 and its advertising ID privacy policy, here's how advertisers have been using IDFA. First, they publish one of their adverts via an ad network on a mobile app. The iPhone user using this app then sees the ad and clicks on it.
The user's browser opens and s/he is then directed to the Mobile Measurement Partner's (MMP) page. The process is very swift, so the users wouldn't know that they have been directed to the MMP's webpage. They'll only notice a long URL on the address bar.
When the MMP website opens, the MMP takes ad ID tracking info from the user's devices such as his/her IDFA, IP address, location, device type, and user agent. The MMP will use this ad ID tracking information to tell mobile app advertisers the channel from which installs are coming.
From the MMP's website, the user is then led to the initial link s/he clicked, which can be the advertiser's app page on the App Store. Now, the MMP helps the mobile advertiser perform device ID tracking outside the app as the app wouldn't be able to do so as the user is no longer in the app.
If the user eventually installs and opens the advertiser's app, the SDK of the MMP will then track the IDFA, IP, and user agent of the user's device and match them with the corresponding click. With this, the advertiser now knows which channel or ad network the user installed the advertised app from.
What happened to IDFA with the release of iOS 14.5?
IDFA was such a great aid to mobile app advertisers, but Apple in its bid to protect its users' privacy, gave them the choice of blocking IDFA identifier at the app level with the introduction of iOS 14.5 and its privacy update. This iOS privacy update implies that apps will have to ask for permission to collect and share data for device ID advertising.
Will probabilistic attribution be back?
Before the advent of IDFA in 2012 with iOS6, MMPs were using a probabilistic method called fingerprinting to track the ad campaigns of mobile app marketers. Fingerprinting performs device ID tracking of new install of an advertiser's app by using the user's location, device type, user agent, and IP.
However, fingerprinting isn't 100 percent accurate, which is why it is termed probabilistic. If an advertiser tries to measure and track the clicks and installs coming from frequently-used devices in a crowded area, the possibility of getting an accurate result is slim. This is because it is impossible to precisely know the install coming from a specific ad network.
Now, with the update in the iOS privacy policy through iOS 14.5, which makes IDFA device ID tracking difficult, MMPs have switched back to probabilistic attribution methods other than fingerprinting. The challenge with fingerprinting is that if the iPhone user does not opt-in, it's difficult to use it.
Is the deprecation of IDFA a matter of privacy?
Yes, Apple's deprecation of IDFA is a matter of privacy. Apple stated in a video announcing the deprecation of IDFA that it cares for its users' privacy. Here are some IDFA usage examples Apple are afraid of:
Example 1: Someone is planning to buy a surprise gift for her partner. She then visits a website and finds a gift. If later, she and her partner browse Facebook together and come across an ad for this surprise gift, the woman would feel betrayed. Meanwhile, her IDFA device ID had only been used to provide her with customized adverts.
Another Apple IDFA example is the ease at which data from different apps can be merged through IDFA.
Example 2: An iPhone user may have an app that records his name through his IDFA device ID, another app that records his address, and a third app that records his phone number. In a case where data is leaked, the user's name, address, and phone number can be matched via IDFA.
However, the deprecation of IDFA changes the mobile advertising industry immensely. There ought to be another way of providing customized adverts for iPhone users that can be tracked. Apple introduced SKAdNetwork, not as an alternative for IDFA device ID tracking but as a solution to deterministic attribution without IDFA.
What is SKAdNetwork?
SKAdNetwork is Apple's alternative to probabilistic attribution. It is a way of assigning conversion data to app installs on iOS apps that is friendly to Apple's privacy policy. The SKAdNetwork shares this data related to conversion with advertisers and ad networks while providing zero data related to the user or the device. So far, SKAdNetwork is the only solution to deterministic attribution without IDFA, even though it does not provide all the data that you need.
The way SKAdNetwork works is this:
A publisher mobile app has assigned ad space on its screen.
The AdNetwork bids and sends an ad to the publisher.
The iPhone user clicks the ad and is directed to the App Store where he installs the advertiser app.
SKAdNetwork tracks his journey and sends a postback to the AdNetwork, telling it an install has occurred via their ad.
The advertiser is also able to see the conversions on SKAdNetwork's Dashboard
It is clear from the above that SKAdNetwork aims to replace the MMPs. However, its mechanism is remarkably different from the former Apple ad ID, IDFA.
What is a postback and how does it work?
A postback is the real-time notification of app install or in-app event that attribution providers send to ad networks. Before the deprecation of IDFA, the postback would contain the iPhone user's IDFA and granular data for device ID advertising. Although the SKAdNetwork's postback serves as an equivalent to those of MMPs, it doesn't include IDFA, the exact time, or the location of the app install. The user's IP and user-agent are only visible if the user had approved of it earlier.
The SKADNetwork postback includes conversion value instead. This is an overall conversion data that states how many installs occurred, how far the user went into an event funnel as well as the Ad network containing the app. Before the Apple IDFA changes, it was possible to make user-specific tracking as it was easier to see what the users do within different apps. With this knowledge, advertisers were able to call back the users by displaying targeted ads to them. Now, advertisers would have to interpret the overall data themselves with Apple advertising ID gone.
What is conversion value?
The conversion value in SKAdNetwork is a single number between 0 and 63 that you can set for any in-app event that you want to track. The chosen number is what the app shares with Apple. Apple then includes this number in the SKAdNetwork postback that it sends to the ad network responsible for the app install.
What this means in simpler terms is that SKAdNetwork tells the ad networks that it can send a postback stating that a user performed certain events or otherwise. However, the app advertiser needs to choose a maximum of 64 events and assign values to them. So, you will need to decide which event is more valuable.
As install normally takes Event 0, you'll have to choose the other 63 events to get a postback from SKAdNetwork when a user takes these actions.
Conversion value and timer
Conversion value in SKAdNetwork comes with its limitation. One of these limitations is the timer that Apple introduced to protect its users' privacy. This timer has a time window of 24 hours that starts counting down when a user clicks on your ad and installs your app. If you choose to update the conversion value, such value can only be increased and not reduced. For example, if the former conversion value was 20, you can't update it to 20.
Here are scenarios that perfectly explains how the SKAdNetwork timer works:
Scenario One
When a user installs your app, Apple informs the AdNetwork of his action through SKAdNetwork. However, this notification isn't sent in real-time. After this install event, SKAdNetwork starts the 24-hour timer. If the user doesn't perform any other action within the first 24 hours, SKAdNetwork starts a second random timer between 0 to 24 hours. It chooses a random moment between 24 and 48 hours after the install to send a postback to the Ad Network with conversion value zero.
Scenario Two
When a user installs your app, the first timer starts. If the user performs a second action within 24 hours, the first timer starts over. However, if there are no additional events in 24 hours, Apple then starts the second random timer. Within 24 to 48 hours, SKAdNetwork sends a postback to the ad network with the conversion value 1, informing it of the second event the user started. Event 1 overshadows event 0, which is the install, such that you can't tell the particular time that the install happened.
Scenario Three
When a user installs your app, the first timer starts. If within 24 hours, the user initiates an event, the first timer starts over. If he then initiates another event with a higher conversion value within 24 hours, the timer starts over again. If, at this point, the user repeats the first event it does not cancel out the timer because its conversion value is lower than the second event. The timer will continue instead. Then at the end of the 24 hours timer of the second event, the random timer starts for the second time and SKAdNetwork sends a postback to the ad network with the conversion value of the latest event.
The message here is that the postback takes the event with a higher conversion value into account. Typically, SKAdNetwork sends postback within the second 24 hours after the last event of the user, and each event causes the timer to start over one more time unless it's the repeat of a previous event.
This timer implies that you need to wait at least one week after initiating an ad campaign to see the results. As you can't track in real-time, you can't see the result quickly and act accordingly.
Time to develop new strategies for app user tracking
When you know about conversion value and timer, you can determine the 64 events of your app and their conversion values. This, in line with a well-developed strategy, will help you make the most of the aggregate data that comes with the postback.
One of the strategies you can employ is giving one event four (4) different price tiers, making it a total of sixteen (16) events that can be tracked with the 64 conversion values. For example:
AddToCart 0-$5 – Value 16
AddToCart $5-$20 – Value 17
AddToCart $20-$50 – Value 18
AddToCart $50-$100 – Value 19
Purchase 0-$5 – Value 20
Purchase $5-$20 – Value 21
Purchase $20-$50 – Value 22
Purchase $50-$100 – Value 23
Another strategy you can employ is ensuring that users who complete the same event have different conversion values if they have completed different event funnels. For example:
Install; ProductView; AddtoCart; Purchase – Value 10
Install; ProductView; AddtoCart; ClearCart; ProductView; AddtoCart; Purchase – Value 15
The issue, however, is that the mobile marketing ecosystem may not yet be fully equipped to set these new strategies. So, it's time for MMPs to sit back and strategize as they are the most trusted partner of advertisers to aggregate all their ad channels' data.
How were advertisers using IDFA for targeting in their ads?
When the Apple ad ID, IDFA, was still functional, programmatic networks displayed ads requested by app publishers after a real-time bidding process. This implied that advertisers were bidding higher to be seen by relevant prospective users. Here is how it worked: An app wants to display an ad to its users. Advertisers bid on that ad space and user in real-time. In other words, they know certain details about the user who will see the ad such as location, gender, and age. Thereby, it becomes possible to bid more for a relevant user with these enhanced targeting capabilities.
With this auction-based model which programmatic networks facilitate, you can compete for ad impressions in real-time instead of being placed in an order of demand partners. This ensures that publishers get the highest Cost per Impression (CPM) for their available inventory.
Also, before the Apple IDFA changes, IDFA made personalized advert possible using the iOS advertising ID. To target a user from other apps:
You use your MMP to generate target user segments.
The MMP can export the IDFAs of these users to be shared with programmatic ad partners.
These partners then display your ad to these users on another app, using IDFA
If the user clicks the ad, your app launches, and the user is re-engaged with your app.
The MMP then continues to track events and Lifetime Value (LTV) analytics.
Upcoming trends with the end of targeting
With the deprecation of IDFA, however, it is impossible (in case of low opt-in rates) to know who will see the ad, and because there is no guarantee that the ad will be seen by relevant people, advertisers will tend to pay less per impression to keep their install costs constant. On the other hand, ad networks will want you to pay more as the install rate of ads will decrease and they will have to show your ad to more users. This conflict seemingly reached an equilibrium with a slight increase in install cost, but the effect on different verticals can vary.
Also, retargeting capabilities are in a risky position. At the moment, you can retarget a user only if the user uses the same e-mail address on different platforms. For example, if a user installed a flower delivery app but uninstalled it after a while, chances are that the app will call him back before Valentine's Day. You can show the user some ads for flowers on social media platforms if they signed up with the same email address. Besides this, the flower delivery app cannot know where to find the user since it can't track his IDFA anymore.
Finally, as ad partners have lost visibility on conversion metrics, it wouldn't be unusual to expect ad networks to replace CPI-based operations with CPC- or CPM-based operations to push the impression-to-install conversion risk to the advertiser side.

**Yes, these total more than 20 because some mentioned more than one tactic.
What did this list tell me?
There is no magic elixir.
Some recruiters use social media. Some don't.
Some recruiters just wanna chat on the phone.
Others just want to email.
Some want to find you on Twitter.
So it means you need to look good and be present online and offline.
And even for those offline situations, recruiters will check your resume to see what you're about before they direct message you, meet you at the bar, or email you.
So look good on your resume, at the minimum.


I sold my first flowers!
I've kind of been waiting for sales to fall into my lap, rather than like picking flowers and then hustling to sell them. Kind of pathetic, I know.
A woman in the local flower growers/florists network said she needed marigold flowers (without stems). Here's a photo of some of the 30 (36?) that she took.
I was concerned that many looked too far developed, but that's kind of where they are at late in the season. I've really been in denial and it's becoming increasingly clear that winter is coming. Early.
I was excited to click on the link to this list of Best Gardening Podcasts of 2018. I heard about it from Slow Flowers, whose podcast is on the list (although I – and Debra herself – would categorize it as an American Flower Industry (growing, designing, selling) podcast. I don't listen to any of the others from the list. I prefer to listen to things that are more on the farming side, like the Farmer to Farmer podcast and Farm Small, Farm Smart. I recently found another flower farming podcast called Team Flower (does that link work for you?). I also really like Earth Eats (out of my in-laws' town – Bloomington!). And I am subscribed to a whole lot of other food/food industry/sustainable agriculture/food nonprofit shows such as Delicious Revolution and Living on Earth. I've recently added a bunch in that last list of categories that I haven't listened to very much.
And yes, I'd love to do a sustainable agriculture podcast. I have ideas of guests and questions to ask. Not just the "softball" questions.
I haven't been spending enough time in the garden lately. I'm getting a bit burnt-out on spending most of my garden time watering seedlings (I have 13 trays started so far). I've been using the old plastic greenhouse for germination, and then moving the trays (5 so far) to the new-to-us greenhouse. I think a lot of the plants are stunted due to not enough light (or it could be the cold lol although these are mostly greens). According to weather underground, it got down to 35 or 36 degrees outside last night!
I got a big order of seedling trays this week. I'm interested in experimenting more with the ones that have 100+ holes. I've been using the 6-packs that fill up a tray with only 48 cells, and I will run out of greenhouse space at that rate. At that point I would get some short shelving units to put under the shelves- probably nbd (or stepping stones for rats to get to the top, we'll see).
I keep meaning to start some summer crops for the fundraiser for my kid's preschool that is in a month. I am not sure what to start that the school isn't already growing. Some herbs? A tray of summer crops? I got some 2.5″ pots so maybe people can get individual plants. I have no sense of how big the plants will be.
I have mowed the northeast section 4 or 5 times, always intending to put the silage tarp I've bought down to kill the grass (wonder if it would kill the flea beetles in my mustard cover crop?). Maybe I'll fill in the deep holes in that area and get the tarp out tomorrow (Friday).

The theatre building is situated in the north part of the historical town centre in Dlouhá street 7 (no. 98), far behind the street front line. Its west side is facing a narrow street leading towards the stairs to Žižkovy sady. The back of the house with its multi-axial front face also faces Žižkovy sady and it's situated on the edge of a rampart.
The history of the theatre in Hradec is associated with the anti-reform Baroque theatre of the Jesuits ran by the students of their college. According to historical documents, the first school performance took place in 1637 – the play the Birth of Christ was performed in the St. Antonius church on Mýtské předměstí (today Nový Hradec Králové). In 1668, the Jesuits made a special "beautifully painted" hall available for their annual performances and on 27 September of the same year the Czech play St. Wenceslas was performed there. Regular performances, both in Czech and Latin, took place in this hall until 1766. Then, the theatre performances were officially banned. After the enforcement of the Enlightened Acts of the emperor Joseph II, any theatre production had to gain permission from the regional offices. This meant that the theatre activities in Hradec generally declined. In the late 18th century, a German amateur theatre group of army officers and townsmen performed in the house no.139 and in the shooting range. There was also a modest attempt to establish a Czech theatre in 1791.
In 1796, the Czech amateur theatre group adapted the pub hall U zlatého orla (no. 126 on Malé náměstí) which become the first permanent theatre stage in Hradec. A court record dated 4 June 1798 states that the reconstruction of the hall to suit theatrical performances of "the society of the theatre lovers", was managed by Ferdinand Ritschel, the checker of the salt warehouse and the treasurer of the amateur theatre group, and implemented by the building contractor Josef Veliš. The bricks were supplied by the municipality and the wood by the saw mill of the miller Střemcha. More than a quarter of the century later, in 1819, the revivalist publisher Jan František Pospíšil attempted to introduce a Czech play written by Štěpánek entitled How is it going to turn out. This play represented the beginings of Czech theatre in Hradec Králové. In the same year, the grammar school professor and dramatist Václav Kliment Klicpera came to the city. As a playwright and a theatre director he brought some fresh energy to the amateur theatre activities in Hradec. In 1825, the first opera had its opening night in Czech language in Hradec Králové – Der Freischutz by C. M. Weber, and from 1830s Czech plays were performed regularly by amateur theatre groups. According to Sommer's Topography of Bohemia (1836) the theatre hall in Hradec, used by the owner of the pub also as a dance hall, had three boxes on the left, stalls for 200 people and a circle with 28 seats opposite the stage. A great public interest in theatre provided the justification for the efforts to reconstruct the hall U zlatého orla. The reconstruction took place in winter 1838–1839 and was coordinated by a regional engineer called Pavlovský from Rosenfeld. The stage was expanded, the benches were replaced by seats, and the number of the boxes was increased from three to four. The original curtain with simple "blue veilings" was replaced by a new one painted by the painter of Prague State Theatre Tobiáš Mössner with a veduta of Hradec Králové. Apart from Mössner, the new decoration of the theatre was designed by a painter called František Bernard Václav Achbauer. After further reconstruction of the hall which took place in the period from 1875 to 1876, the stage had a new curtain with veduta of Hradec Králové plus an additional figural staffage. The author of the painting on the curtain was František Řezníček who sourced his inspiration from lithography published in 1864 in Prague by Gottlieb Haas.
After V. K. Klicpera left Hradec Králové for Prague in 1846, the local theatre activities slowed down again. In 1852, the city hosted the first group of strolling actors. The amateur theatre was revived in the 1860s. In 1868, a society called The Union of Theatre Amateurs was established and its members initiated the construction of a self-contained theatre building. On 11 March 1877, the union decided to "accumulate capital for the construction of a decent theatre". In 1880, the stage in the hall U zlatého orla was expanded by the building contractor Josef Falta, however, the hall was officially closed down due to the fact that the owner refused to respect strict fire safety regulations (for example the need for emergency exits).
In 1881, a summer stage designed by Stanislav Červený was built in the garden of the Oskar Lhota house (no. 124). His arena-shaped auditorium with the dimensions of 24×16 metres has the capacity of 200 seats. In 1881, the above mentioned union, which saved money for the construction of the theatre from public collections and proceeds from performances and balls, issued a memorandum for the town representatives with the request to build a suitable building to house the theatre. After some political squabble, the city council passed a decision in February 1882 to build a theatre at a cost of the municipality which would be named after Klicpera. The theatre was to be situated between the secondary school and Vodička's barracks. The city council announced an open competition of tenders for the delivery of the construction plans. Out of the ten delivered proposals, the winning project was that of the architect Vratislav Pasovský with the slogan "Cum musis ad sepulcrum" and a total budget of 53 109 golden coins. Due to political disagreements, the whole competition yield no real official results and Pasovský's project was not realized. The city council held another meeting with the agenda of the theatre construction on 20 July 1883 and adopted a resolution which solved the matter temporarily by a reconstruction of municipal offices. The construction of the new theatre building was not passed until 1884 when the entire building fund of the union (1 030 golden coins and 64 doits) was transferred to the city council. The final positive decision was much to the credit of the deputy mayor Ladislav Jan Pospíšil. A local architect Viktor Weinhengst († 1903) was commissioned to implement the construction project the budget of which was increased by 80 000 Crowns. In June 1884, the local newspapers Polabské noviny published a commentary to the construction: "... the walls of the first-floor level were completed, the towers and front parts of the building were also elevated up to the first-floor level and roofed. There is a lobby and a cloakroom on the ground floor... on 20 July the work on the façade may commence." The Neo-Renaissance theatre building - an incoherent building in terms of its volume – was officially opened with the performance of Klicpera's Eliška Přemyslovna and The Kiss by Bedřich Smetana on 24 March 1885.
The front face of the theatre had one floor. The ground floor, which opened with three semi-circular entrances in the middle, was decorated by quoins. "Piano nobile" were divided by pilasters topped with attic accents above the principal moulding. The original auditorium had a rectangular floor plan with a vaulted circle which came out on the sides into wings composed of open boxes. The row of boxes reached up to the stage portal which was clenched by pilasters with fluting on the parterre level and smoothly framed on the level of boxes. There was an upper circle above the dress circle. The interior decoration financed by the Union of Theatre Amateurs was designed by Nejedly brothers from Novy Bydžov. The ceiling of the auditorium was divided into a symmetrical network of square fields with rounded plastic frames which had a circular chandelier screen in the middle. Around the screen was stucco garland girdled with ribbons. The Neo-Renaissance painting on the ceiling depicted a majestic allegorical composition of muses of Music, Lyrical Poetry, Tragedy and History, and personifications of the Painting, Sculpture, Rhetorics and other free art forms with satyrs and nymphs on a rich ornamental frame with yellow and celestial background. The circle walls had paintings depicting a perystyle with drapery; thirteen fields were divided by caryatids and lion heads; front fields were filled with discs with symbolic emblems and ornaments. The portal of the proscenium was also decorated with thumbnail sketches and ornaments.
In 1886, it came out that the theatre building had a bad foundation. Cracks appeared in walls; a part of the back of the building built on a slope even collapsed and the theatre was closed down by the authorities. Extensive repairs had to be done immediately. They involved not only the replacement of a large section of walls, but also a new iron structure for the ceiling in the auditorium and a complete reconstruction of the stage. All reconstruction work was carried out at the expense of the failed building contractor Weinhengst. After its completion, the architect Čeněk Gregor was assigned the task of providing the expert's opinion and drafting an expertise on the safety of the building structures which had to be made available for the final building approval. The theatre was officially reopened on 17 December 1886. The central heating was installed in the auditorium in 1891 according to the project of the Vienna engineer Lešeticky. It was not until 1895 that Klicpera's theatre received the main stage curtain with the painting depicting the Arrival of the Forfather Cech to Říp, which was bought for 65 golden coins from the concert hall at the Exhibition for Architects and Engineers in Prague (in 1910 the painted curtain was sold to the newly adapted Municipal Theatre in Náchod).
Greater modernization of the theatre was initiated by the town council in 1910 according to the project of M. Gottlieb, the inspector of the National Theatre. The roof was repaired, the boxes in the auditorium were newly designed, and the original painting of the ceiling was replaced by Art Nouveau decoration of the famous designer František Kysela. The photographs from this period which can be found in the book written by J. V. Tolman (1918) show a longitudinal layout of the auditorium with eleven rows in the stalls, an aisle in the middle, and a low wooden partition wall behind the last row which separated the room for standing audience. The circle supported by columns opened up in a large arch on the first floor level at the back of the auditorium. The circle continued with boxes on the sides which reached up to the stage portal and were separated by concave wooden walls. There was an upper circle rising above the circle. The parapet of the circle and the wings of the boxes were decorated by geometrical ornaments of diagonal grids and elliptical shapes. The back wall above the circle was filled with colourful rectangular frames with vases for flowers. A coherent painted frieze with identical designs also covered the walls above the boxes and on the sides of the stage portal. The ceiling of the theatre auditorium was decorated with square fields with geometrical designs. Small cube lights hung from the corners of the central field of the ceiling; similarly designed prismatic lamps were symmetrically installed on the front parapet of the circle and the boxes. The stage frame had most probably a slightly slant scuntions and rounded upper corners. In 1911, the foyer was also renovated; a new stage floor was installed, and some of the stage technical equipment replaced. The dressing room was divided and electrical lighting was installed in the entire theatre (the first performance lit by electric lights took place in 1906 with help of an external power source).
The decorations painted by Kyselova was destroyed during another theatre reconstruction implemented by the city in 1927 at the cost of 350 000 Crowns according to the project designed by Oldřich Liska. A part of Liska's project was technical improvement of renovated stage by installing a light control, a new cyclorama and two movable traps. The lobby was enlarged – a new cloakroom was built, and new seats installed in the auditorium. The capacity of the hall was then expanded to one thousand people. Another theatre reconstruction was implemented in 1949 according to the project of the architect Jan Rejchl from Hradec.
A narrower ground-floor prismatic volume, which was connected to the historical part of the building by quoins, was built in front of the hexaxial face front of the building. It is assumed that it was built during the late 20th century reconstruction. The volume carries an open terrace surrounded by iron railings which can be accessed from the foyer of the theatre. Photographs from the 1970s show a triaxial entrance portal in a right-angled frame which was located in the middle of this annex building. There was a row of low windows on the sides of this portal. After some maintenance work and minor repair work carried out by 1989, which probably included the installation of the lights with the shape of grapes in the side halls on the first floor, the theatre interiors had not undergone any major modernization until 1990s. The last reconstruction of the theatre auditorium took place in the second half of 2004 and a major renovation of the stage was done during the summer break.
The symentrical layout of the square in front of the theatre gives an imperession of a ceremonial courtyard. The inconsistent asymmetric volume of the theatre building in terms of its height and layout has a cold façade mask which shows tendency to classicist style as well as some features of Neo-Renaissance style. The building has a hexaxial front with a prismatic ground-floor buttress which stands out in the front and a modern portico gallery. The shafts of its columns are covered with stone boards; the corpuses of the columns' capitals with slightly cubist design are made of sheet-steel. Behind the columns at the back of the portico gallery, there is a wooden glassed-in wall with two entrances in the centre. The buttress is horizontally segmented by a bossage, and its flat roof serves as a terrace accessible through the double-wing doors from the foyer. The hexaxial part on the first-floor level is dominated by the left five-axial front with high rectangular windows. There is a uni-axial right part with rectangular lowered window attached to this front. There are longitudinal plastic mouldings running across the front of this "piana nobile" approximately in two thirds of the window's height and also just above the windows. Two combined pilasters with stucco floral decoration of the capitals flank the middle axis of the left part, which is topped with low segmented attic gable above the principal moulding (the attic originally had no opening; now there is a circular hole opening). There is a modern dormer behind the attic gable with an arched roof window. The side axis of the soffit front is divided by similar, but more freely positioned, pilasters. Rectangular attic gables which come out above the level of the principal moulding are divided - at about a half of their height - by another moulding supported by plastic dentil.
The central part of the theatre is covered with keel roof with soft lines and modern red roof cover. It has some parts covered with metal plates on the north side. There is a low prism with sheet metal jacketing rising from the roof ridge which leads towards the foundation of the flyloft on the east side. The exterior of the flyloft has smooth façades broken only by austere bands of lisena. There is an oblong wing attached to the eastern side of the theatre building which connects it with the street front of Dlouha; the front part of the wing forms a house which used to be a self-contained house (no. 99) with quadraxial street front.
From the north-west corner of the portico gallery, the volume of the theatre building is broken twice in its layout in the right angle. The western face front of the building has five axis and rich relief designs of the hood mouldings, window sills, and sets of pilasters. The plastic segmentation of the façade frames the windows with triangular frontons and parapet fillings on the first floor level, as well as the oblong windows in tower extensions of the corner buttresses. The buttresses form the side axes of the front face and slightly protrude to the front of its middle part. There is a robust rustic work in the corner volumes in the parterre; the central semi-circular entrance is also bossed. On the first-floor level, the hewn stone rustic work decorates only the corners of the façade, its frontside is hatched with only shallow bossage. The middle part of the western front opens on the first-floor level with a tree-part window with semi-circular furnicular arches. A moulding runs around the first floor above small stucco consoles. Low roofs on top of the tower cover the attic gable extensions. The back façade of the theatre facing the park is currently largely shaded by tall trees. Its simple segmentation consists of bossage on the ground floor and a smooth plaster on the first floor level cut by symmetrically positioned rectangular windows with horizontal hood mouldings.
All public interiors of Klicpera's theatre now have purely contemporary design - including the floors, lighting and other detailed features. The visitors of the theatre enter from the lobby through a modern multi-arm staircase into a foyer, and from there into the stalls. The rectangular auditorium, bevelled in the corners near the stage, has a rising floor filled with eleven rows of seats. There is a sound booth with large pull-down windows in five axis behind the last row under the circle which takes up the whole width of the auditorium. The right-angular circle has seven levels of rows. There are two wings with three side boxes coming out symmetrically on each side of the circle which subside and descend towards the stage. The wall coating is up to the level of the boxes made of wood which enhances the acoustics of the auditorium. There is a relief circular disc on the flat ceiling from which hangs a chandelier. Its beam-shaped decoration evokes a light wheel. There is a continuous line of dot-lit lamps along the bottom edge of the boxes and the circle. Similar line of small lights runs above the boxes and the circle.

A chance to catch up on our five most-read items of the week.
In fifth place this week is a piece about the pernicious rise in the use of Community Protection Notices in order to ban otherwise completely legal activities.
Yesterday's High Court ruling that MPs must be allowed to vote on the decision to implement Article 50, caused a furious reaction today, both in the press and on social media, with the Daily Mail labelling the three judges who made the ruling "enemies of the people". This piece looks at some of the angry and even violent reactions to the ruling and argues that it is a worrying sign that the country is moving in a dangerous direction.
In third place is a piece which looked at a new report this week into the Brexit options under consideration by the government. It found that the UK has to overcome a maze of obstacles in order to achieve anything even resembling a smooth exit from the EU.
Next we have a piece looking at Labour's vague response to Brexit and the reasons why the party remains so unclear about what it's priorities are.
And in the top spot this weeek is a piece looking at this week's High Court ruling on Article 50. It welcomes it as a return to a semblance of reason and empiricism in British politics.

FBI Recommends No Charges Following Clinton E-Mail Investigation
Director Comey addresses reporters during a July 5, 2016 press briefing at FBI Headquarters on the investigation of Secretary Hillary Clinton's use of a personal e-mail system.
FBI Director James B. Comey said today that the Bureau has recommended to the Department of Justice that no charges are appropriate following an extensive investigation of Hillary Clinton's use of a personal e-mail system during her time as Secretary of State.
The FBI investigation followed a referral last July from the Intelligence Community Inspector General and focused on whether classified information was improperly stored or transmitted on Secretary Clinton's personal e-mail servers during her four-year tenure.
"Although there is evidence of potential violations of the statutes regarding the handling of classified information, our judgment is that no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case," Comey said during a 15-minute press briefing to reporters at FBI Headquarters.

International Exchange Center
2019 World Intellectual Property Organization China Summer School Comes to a Successful End
The 2019 World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) China Summer School program held at ECUPL was successfully concluded after two weeks of intensive learning and exchange activities. Professor Ye Qing, the President of ECUPL, attended and spoke at the closing ceremony in the Jiaoyi Building on Changning Campus on September 27. Some faculty members, including the Party Secretary of the School of Intellectual Property Hu Ye, the Deputy Director of the International Exchange Center Ma Le, Associate Professor Chu Xiang, He Jiong, Ruan Kaixin and Li Xiaofu, and more than 60 students from China and abroad also attended the closing ceremony. Professor Huang Wushuang, the Dean of the School of Intellectual Property, presided over the closing ceremony.
In his speech, Ye Qing congratulated the Chinese and international students on their completion of all Summer School courses, and thanked the experts, teachers and people who worked at the Summer School. In the past two weeks, the school has provided more than 30 topic-based lectures, fieldtrips, case studies, group discussions and other learning activities for the students to understand the general functions of WIPO, to learn about the current situation of the administration and judicial protection of intellectual property (IP) in China, and to acquire an all-round and in-depth knowledge concerning patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, resolving disputes and so on in the field of IP in China. The program has broadened the students' horizons, increased their knowledge, enhanced communication and friendship among students from various countries, and has produced extremely desirable results. Ye Qing pointed out that IP is the driving force for innovation and development, and now China pays unprecedented attention to IP protection. In China's critical period of the development of IP, Shanghai, as a forerunner in China's reform and opening up, is promoting systematic and practical innovation in the management and protection of IP, and making unremitting efforts to build Shanghai into the IP center of the Asia-Pacific region. Ye Qing continued that ECUPL must seize this historical opportunity, give full play to its geographical and human resource advantages, strive to build a high-level IP education and research base, and train IP professionals so as to make due contributions to the development of IP in China. Additionally, he expressed his hope to reflect on the experience of running the program, and to learn from other colleges and universities when the WIPO China Summer School program is regularly conducted at ECUPL, so as to make improvements and innovations and to find new ways to run the program even better.
Ms. Anastasia Skovpen, a foreign student representative from Russia, said in her speech that she was very pleased to have come to Shanghai and ECUPL in this golden autumn season. In the past two weeks, she and more than 50 students from different countries have studied together and exchanged ideas. With IP as their shared interest, everyone has not only acquired new knowledge but also become closer to one other. She is very happy to have made friends with people from around the world, and feels grateful for the learning and exchange platform offered by ECUPL. She also hopes to meet everyone again in the future.
Mr. Xie Hongxing, a staff member from The Clean Air Alliance of China (Beijing), said in his speech that he has worked as an engineer in the environmental field for more than 15 years. After systematic training in this summer school, he has obtained all-round knowledge about IP. Besides this, he also got to know English legal terms in courses conducted in English. Students from different countries presented the physical application and practice of IP laws in their own countries, which broadened their international vision and enhanced international exchanges and cooperation. Mr Xie hoped that ECUPL will be able to provide online courses on key and popular topics in the future, and to help Chinese and foreign IP professionals and students carry out deeper case analyses and discussions online. Finally, on behalf of all the trainees, he once again expressed his heartfelt thanks to WIPO and ECUPL, and to all the teachers, staff and student volunteers. He hoped that the summer school program will continue, and that it will promote the steady progress of China's IP.
Ye Qing presented graduation certificates to the students one by one, and then presented certificates of honor to outstanding student volunteers who worked hard, and took photos with everyone. In the warm applause of the guests, the 2019 WIPO China Summer School came to a happy end.
The WIPO China Summer School program has been held at ECUPL three times. ECUPL has practiced its development concept of being Open and International over the years, and will continue to deepen exchanges and cooperation with high-end IP management and service institutions at home and abroad to give full play to the social service function of colleges and universities. The leaders of ECUPL attach great importance to conducting this summer school program. Relevant departments and schools have cooperated fully and closely to guarantee that the resources needed were available, and carried out all the work during the preparation and implementation of the program in a solid and orderly manner. In the half-year preparation process, the School of Intellectual Property together with the International Exchange Center maintained good communications with the WIPO Academy, WIPO's China office, the Shanghai Intellectual Property Administration and other agencies and institutions, and repeatedly discussed the curriculum scheme with them. Ruan Kaixin, and other young teachers whose efforts made the summer school possible, all earnestly helped with matters such as inviting more than 20 experts from the Intellectual Property Court of the Supreme People's Court, the State Trademark Bureau and other institutions to give lectures, recruiting Chinese and foreign students, meeting the invited experts, and rendering assistance to the students in their studies and lives, regardless of their own personal interests.

well i only lost 1/4 pound in the last 11 days. not good. and i'm really missing food! as in big-slices-of-cake food. when started diet/exercise i wasn't missing it which was great. but now i am and we have loads of cake and chocolate around the house.
Don't give up! That slice of cake won't taste as good as reaching your goals will feel.
What helps me is to indulge my cravings when I have them. After all, I don't want to diet the rest of my life. That's not living! So I either have a little of what I want, or I make a healthy substitution for it. Sometimes I find that I like the fake stuff just as much or better.
Either way, you are worth this. And you can do this. Food has the most power over us when we label it as bad and tell ourselves we can't have it. Good luck!
hmm maybe will investigate healthier sweet options. prob is at the moment i live at home so i don't do the shopping. about to go away for three weeks too. but def something to think about for when i go to uni this autumn.
also i lost 1.5 pounds this week total of 6.25 pounds now. aiming to lose a stone so getting towards half way.

Q: Can't find any working examples of using the official Google Translate Java API (rev41) It took me about 5 minutes to use the Google Translate REST API from Javascript, NodeJS, WGET and Java via Sun's Jersey library, but I cannot find any working examples for the current version of the official Google Java Client (rev41), or how to configure it using Maven. I sat for an entire morning trying to work it out from the source code (and swearing a lot) to no avail. Working out the Maven stuff was easy enough but I cannot for the life of me work out how to use the Java API - a crazy situation as it took so little time using basic generic technology.
For reference - this is my Maven config:
<dependency>
    <groupId>com.google.apis</groupId>
    <artifactId>google-api-services-translate</artifactId>
    <version>v2-rev41-1.20.0</version>
</dependency>

My bigger question to the lovely Google folk is - why is the Java library harder to implement than using straight REST? Surely the sole purpose of the Java library is to provide a wrapper that makes using Google Translate simpler, and there are only about 3 REST calls to wrap, how hard can it be? What exists now would appear to be the opposite: a number of web articles actually recommend using a thirdParty non-official Java library, or even Google's text-to-speech service (How to use Google Translate API in my Java application?). All of this suggests to me that this area needs some attention or should be thrown in the bin, it's not currently adding any value.

A: The second part of the question is not answerable, as it isn't specific and instead seems like a loaded question. I'll just answer the first part.
The Maven config can be found in the Translate documentation for the Java API Client. In the "Add Library to Your Project" section, click "Maven."
Although there is not an example specific to Translate, you can take a look at other samples, such as the CalendarSample. If there is a specific step that still isn't obvious please bring it up specifically, such as OAuth, constructing the Translate class, or knowing where to start. I'll also note that the Translate JavaDocs are linked to from the above documentation.

Australian inmate is first prisoner to face revised US military tribunal rules.
Hicks' lawyers and human rights monitors observing the hearings say the trials are rigged to ensure convictions and allow evidence to be submitted that has been obtained through coercion.
That he intentionally provided support to a terror organisation involved in hostilities against the United States.
That he provided support for preparation, or in carrying out, an act of terrorism.
The new tribunal was established by the US congress after the supreme court found the Pentagon's earlier version to be unconstitutional.
Speaking to reporters before Monday's arraignment hearing, Air Force colonel Morris Davis, the chief prosecutor for the tribunals, said prosecution planned to prove Hicks had provided "support for the al-Qaeda organisation".
Hick's lawyer told the judge his client pleaded guilty to a charge that says he intentionally provided support to a terror organisation involved in hostilities against the United States.
He denied a second charge that he provided supported for preparation, or in carrying out, an act of terrorism.
Hicks was originally charged with war crimes and conspiracy to commit murder, and critics say the new charges are less specific.
Human rights groups have criticised the tribunal saying the process lacks legal safeguards, while the crime with which Hicks is charged did not even exist when he was captured in 2001.
Last year the US congress, then under a Republican majority, passed a law authorising a reconstituted tribunal regime with some adjustments but still operating outside of regular US courts or military courts-martial.
The law permits hearsay, evidence obtained through "coercion", to be admitted and forbids detainees from appealing against their detentions in US courts.
News of Hicks's guilty plea was welcomed by Australia's foreign minister who said he expected him to return home soon to serve his sentence in an Australian jail, under an agreement reached with Washington.
"My guess is he will be able to come back (to Australia) fairly soon," Alexander Downer told Australian Broadcasting Corp. radio.
Earlier Hicks's Australian lawyer, David McLeod, said Hicks was convinced he would not get a fair trial and might plead guilty if it would get him home sooner.
McLeod said there had been discussions about a potential plea agreement under which Hicks would receive a reduced sentence if he pleaded guilty.
During Monday's initial arraignment hearing Hicks told the judge he was satisfied with his Pentagon-appointed attorney but wanted more defence lawyers and paralegals "to get equality with the prosecution".
"I recognise that around the world, 'Guantanamo,' when you say the word, has a negative connotation"
But the judge, marine colonel Ralph Kohlmann, said two civilian lawyers, including a defence department lawyer, were not authorised to represent him.
The two were ordered to leave the defence table when Hicks said he would not settle for them being designated as legal consultants.
One of the lawyers, Joshua Dratel, said he refused to sign an agreement to abide by tribunal rules because he was concerned the provisions do not allow him to meet with his client in private.
The US military flew Hicks' father and sister to the base and allowed them to meet privately with him in the court building before the hearing started.
Hicks has previously appeared before an earlier military tribunal system created by a presidential order, which the US supreme court later ruled unconstitutional.
Hicks is not accused of involvement in the September 11 attacks on New York and Washington DC and Human Rights Watch has said he could easily be tried in a regular US court.
Davis admitted critics had effectively turned public opinion against the Guantanamo tribunals but said he expected that to change once the military begins presenting evidence.
"I recognise that around the world, 'Guantanamo,' when you say the word, has a negative connotation," he said. "One thing I hope is that in the way we conduct these proceedings, maybe we can change some of those attitudes."


I like abundance. (This is a problem when you share closet space) There is no better place to revel in plenitude than the rose shop in Hotel Costes on the Rue St Honore. It is absolutely overflowing with luscious, heavy, velvety roses in every color and the scent is heavenly.
Such a great place and is right downtown in the financial district! Dropped my phone and cracked the screen of my iPhone and it was a year before I could upgrade. With the glass being cracked to the point where I couldn't use the phone, I needed a cheap way to get it fixed and Réparation iPhone Paris came highly recommended!

SEC offers relief for pandemic-hit financing, lending firms
January 8, 2021 | 7:26 pm
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has offered regulatory relief to financial and lending companies to help them cope with the effects of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic.
In a Dec. 22 memorandum circular, SEC Chairman Emilio B. Aquino said one of the regulatory relief measures for companies is the relaxation of the required maintaining net worth of financial companies under Republic Act No. 8556 or the Financing Company Act (FCA).
Under the implementing rules and regulations (IRR) of FCA, financing companies are required to have a minimum paid-up capital of P10 million for those in Metro Manila and other first class cities; P5 million for those in other classes of cities; and P2.5 million for those in municipalities.
The law also requires a financing company to put up a minimum additional capital for each branch or extension office. An additional capital of P1 million should be allotted for those in Metro Manila and other first class cities; P500,000 for other classes of cities; and P250,000 for municipalities.
"The commission hereby provides the following regulatory reliefs to financing companies and lending companies to help the covered entities manage the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic," Mr. Aquino said in the circular.
Another relief that companies can opt to avail is the lower required investment in financing and lending activities, the SEC said.
Based on the rules, more than 50% of a financing company's fund must be allocated or invested in its financing activities, while under the IRR of Republic Act No. 9474 or the Lending Company Regulation Act (LCRA), lending companies must use at least 51% of their funds for direct lending purposes.
The other relief that companies may avail is the relaxed period in the commencement of financing and lending operations under the IRRs of LCRA and FCA.
Under the said laws, a financing and lending company must start its operations within 120 days from the release of its certificate of authority to operate.
Mr. Aquino cited Republic Act No. 11494 or the Bayanihan to Recover As One Act (Bayanihan 2) as the reason for the regulatory relief measures. The law gave the SEC the authority to assist the industry in managing risks and potential losses amid the pandemic.
Meanwhile, the SEC said companies that avail of the measures are required to send documents such as a letter showing the intention to avail of the relief, the specific relief chosen and the reason behind choosing it, and a resolution from the company's board of directors that approves the use of a regulatory relief.
"The company's application to avail of the regulatory reliefs shall be subject to the commission's evaluation, which shall be on a case-to-case basis," Mr. Aquino said.
Recently, the SEC allowed the staggered booking of credit losses to help licensed financing companies, lending companies, and accredited microfinance non-government organizations during the pandemic.
It allowed the staggered booking of credit losses on or after Dec. 31, for a maximum of five years using the straight-line amortization method as seen in the profit or loss statement. — Revin Mikhael D. Ochave

Aprilzi (auch Apriltsi, ) ist ein Gebirgskurort und der Verwaltungszentrum einer gleichnamigen Gemeinde in der Oblast Lowetsch im Norden Bulgariens mit rund 3000 Einwohnern.

Lage

Der Ort liegt 500-600 m ü. d. M. im nördlichen Teil des Kalofer-Gebirges, an den Flüssen Ostreschka (Novoselska), Vidima und Sla Reka. Die nächsten größeren Städte sind Trojan in 25 km Entfernung im Nordwesten, Sewliewo 41 Kilometer im Nordosten und Gabrowo 57 Kilometer im Osten. Aprilzi besteht aus den Ortsteilen Nowo Selo, Vidima, Sla Reka und Ostrez, die früher eigenständige Dörfer waren und dadurch ziemlich weit auseinander liegen.

Geschichte
In Aprilzi wurden bereits 1812 eine Einklassenschule und eine Kirche gebaut, im Jahre 1850 eine weltliche Schule eröffnet. 1872 gründete Wassil Lewski ein geheimes Revolutionskomitee, das gegen die osmanische Herrschaft gerichtet war. Auch die Gegend um Aprilzi beteiligte sich 1876 am Aprilaufstand (auch Novoselker-Aufstand). Die Novoselsker Republik wurde proklamiert, die sich neun Tage lang gegen die Übermacht der Gegner verteidigen konnte, ehe sie blutig niedergeschlagen wurde. Es gab 150 Tote und zahlreiche Verbannte. 772 Gebäude waren zerstört oder ausgebrannt, darunter auch das Mädchenkloster und die Kirche aus dem Jahre 1812. In diesem Kampf fiel der Woiwode Zanko Düstabanov, der mit seiner Freischar aus Gabrovo den Aufständischen zu Hilfe gekommen war. Ein Großteil der überlebenden Einwohner wurde gezwungen, den Ort zu verlassen.

1976 schlossen sich anlässlich des 100. Jahrestages des Novoselker-Aufstandes die Dörfer Nowo Selo, Vidima, Sla Reka und Ostrez zur Stadt Aprilzi zusammen, wobei Novo Selo das Verwaltungszentrum wurde. Der Name der Stadt leitet sich vom Aprilaufstand ab.
Durch den Zusammenschluss wuchs auch die Bedeutung der Stadt als Winterkurort.

Sehenswürdigkeiten
Das Batoschevski-Kloster liegt 20 Kilometer nordöstlich von Aprilzi, 4 Kilometer südlich des Dorfes Batoschevo. Es wurde im 13. Jahrhundert während der Herrschaft des bulgarischen Zaren Michael II. Assen gegründet. Im 14. Jahrhundert wurde es beim Eindringen der Osmanen zerstört. 1838 wurde es wieder aufgebaut. Die Wandmalereien stammen aus dem Jahre 1869. In der Klosterschule haben Vater Matej Preobrashenski (Mitkaloto) und Batscho Kiro gelernt. Von besonderem Interesse sind die Kirche im Stil der Architektur der Bulgarischen Wiedergeburt (18./19. Jahrhundert), die Ikonen von Meistern aus der Trjawna-Schule und die kunstvoll geschnitzte Ikonostase.

Aus dem Dorf Batoschevo (etwa 25 km nordöstlich von Aprilzi) kamen während des Aprilaufstandes, an den ein Denkmal erinnert, die meisten Freiwilligen. Das Denkmal in Ravni Bunar, oberhalb von Ostrez am Nordhang des Berges Russalka, bekannt auch als Mara Gidik. Hier fanden am 11. Mai 1876 die letzten Kämpfe zwischen den Aufständischen unter der Führung von Zanko Djüstabanov und den türkischen Verfolgern statt. Von Ostrez aus führt ein markierter Wanderweg am Denkmal vorbei zum Berg Russalka und zur Hütte Tascha. Aprilzi ist Ausgangspunkt für Wanderungen im wunderschönen zentralen Teil des mittleren Balkangebirges, dem Kaloferski-Balkan mit seinem höchsten Berg, dem Botew-Gipfel (2376 m).

Verkehrsverbindungen
Es gibt regelmäßigen Busverkehr nach Trojan, Sevlievo, Gabrovo, Pleven, Lowetsch und in andere Orte. Innerhalb der Stadt verkehren Ortslinien. Der Busbahnhof ist in Novo Selo. Die Busse aus Sewliewo halten auch in Batoschevo und am Batoschevski-Kloster.

Lung cancer occurs when abnormal cells grow, multiply and mass together within the lung invading nearby healthy tissue. It is the leading cause of cancer deaths in both men and women. There are two major types of lung cancer: non-small cell lung cancer (which is the most common form and usually spreads to different parts of the body) and small cell lung cancer, which is a fast-growing type of lung cancer and generally spreads much more quickly than non-small cell.
Lung cancer is a very aggressive form of cancer and is almost always caused by smoking or secondhand smoke. The earlier a person starts to smoke and the more cigarettes per day that are smoked puts one at a greater risk for lung cancer. When a person simply stops smoking, the risk of lung cancer decreases dramatically each year because normal cells will naturally replace abnormal or damaged cells. There are cases of lung cancer that have been diagnosed in people who have never smoked. Additional causes of this cancer include a family history, asbestos exposure, radon gas exposure, high levels of air pollution, long-term exposure to cancer-causing chemicals such as uranium, coal, gas, diesel exhaust, etc.
Lung cancer is typically only symptomatic in the latter stages and might include chronic coughing, coughing up blood, wheezing, chest pain, fever, fatigue and repeated bouts of pneumonia or bronchitis. If a person has a long history of smoking, then its important to discuss these symptoms with a specialist so that lung cancer can be ruled out, or diagnosed early.
Surgery is the first step in treating the cancer along with radiation or chemotherapy or a combination of the two. The treatment plan will depend on the specific type of lung cancer and if the cancer has spread.


Imagine being an amateur player in the field of the 70th U.S. Women's Open Championship and getting to play a practice round with the No. 3-ranked player in the world.
Now imagine that same player, who has won 11 LPGA tournaments and earned a boatload of accolades, being interested in your success on the course and even showing you how to play a few shots around the green.
It might sound too good to be true, but three young players from Mexico had that experience Tuesday afternoon during a practice round at Lancaster Country Club with Stacy Lewis, the LPGA's 2014 Rolex Player of the Year.
Why were they the recipients of such inside knowledge?
But more importantly for Lewis, it's about helping young players get ready for a big event like the U.S. Women's Open.
"They are Razorbacks and a future Razorback, that's part of it, but I want to see these kids be successful," said Lewis, a four-time All-America player and 12-time winner at Arkansas, where she was also the individual 2007 NCAA Division I champion.
Lopez got an on-course lesson Tuesday from Lewis on different ways to play out of the course's penalizing rough. Lewis considered hitting a 5- or 6-iron for one shot, but ended up selecting a hybrid club and using a three-quarter-swing punch shot to pop the ball out and roll it onto the green.
Lewis encouraged Lopez to try hitting the shot the same way. Much to the collegian's surprise, it worked.
The other thing Lewis did was to expose the three amateurs to the most distracting and nerve-racking aspect of her job. They witnessed large crowds pressed around tees and practice areas, fans seeking autographs, media asking questions and Lewis maneuvering her way through it all at a major championship.
Lopez agreed, watching as Lewis was greeted greenside by media even after her Tuesday practice round.
Fassi learned that, while she may not have the same amount of experience as many others, she still has a chance to play well this week.
Lewis kept the atmosphere relaxed, but also helped the players to focus on their preparation.
Lewis returns to Arkansas several times a year to practice alongside the collegians and to serve as a volunteer assistant coach for the team. She knows the players and they know and respect Lewis.
"She's continued to support us every way she can and she's still interested in helping us be the best that we can be," said Estes.
If the three young players can get comfortable with the kind of attention that Lewis draws every time she steps onto the course, they will leave this week's Open with more experience than they ever imagined.

It's been two days that I can't stop thinking about my exams. I'm worrying like mad cuz I knew I screwed up my finals.
It has been a really tough semester for me. Maybe because I take 6 subjects which is 18 credit hours. Usually I'd take 4 or 5 subjects only. My limit is 15 credit hours per semester. Don't know why this semester I was so itchy to take 6 subjects.. Sigh.
Plus, the gap in between my exams are so short!! The maximum gap I was given, were for 2 days only!! And I also got 2 exams in one day! And a back-to-back papers for 3 days! (28th & 29th and 4th:9am and 2.30pm!). This has never happened to me before. I usually get to have like 6 or 7 days gap! Or even 13 days like last semester!
Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God. I am so worried.
The Manegerial Economics paper was so freakin' tough!!! It wasn't like any other past years papers that I did! Even the smartest guy in my class said, he would be grateful enough if he pass ME. Oh my god! What about me?? Am I gonna fail my ME? Oh please God. Please don't let me fail! iskkk.. Seriously, I would be VERY, VERRY thankful and grateful if I could get a C!
Although I hate to have C in my record, but at least it is better than repeating the same subject!
I don't know how my result will turn out! I really hope everything will be just fine. No fails please!
Oh, I need my pills.
Oh yeah, that'd be great.
yeahhh!!! ME sangat susah giler nak mati!!!
at least ur carry marks tinggi!
annis: tu la pasal..i pon takot ni! im supposed to have fun.. but i cant stop thinking bout me failing..
mrs hafiz: oh i hope so too!!
n...i pon tgah tkt sbb exam aritu sgtlah susah dan rase mcm xblaja lsg bile tgk question paper tu. wuuaaa tktla!!
