Real Estate 2001: Neighborhood Profiles
By Lissa T. Rodgers
Gentrification, a process that took SoHo the better part of two decades, hit the Lower East Side with all the speed and subtlety of a neutron bomb. Orchard Street's fabric-swatch and cheap-suit emporiums have been replaced by mod hair salons and "members only" techno bars. Clinton Street, once crowded with squabbling, semi-violent drug dealers, is now home to 71 Clinton Fresh Food, where it's impossible to get a table. As a result, real-estate prices in the area have doubled in the past five years—not just for swanky lofts but also for crumbling tenements with bathtubs in the kitchen. As one recent emigrant to Brooklyn puts it, "I lived in lower Manhattan for ten years while I went to college and waitressed. Now that I make a good salary, enough money to buy a house elsewhere, I can't afford even the tiniest Lower East Side apartment."
STREET LIFE: The punk-bohos who invaded a dozen years ago have been succeeded by professionals who can't quite afford SoHo or TriBeCa and are following the edgy designers and cafés east. The cognitive dissonance can be striking. Asks one landlord: "A guy making that much money, what does he want to live on Suffolk Street for?" Jacob Goldman at LoHo Realty describes them as "people who don't want to be called yuppies but are yuppies anyway."
CREATURE COMFORTS: You don't move here for the good schools but for the nightlife at rec-room-themed bars, French bistros, and clubs like Tonic and the Mercury Lounge. Still, there's a dearth of dry cleaners and supermarkets.
TIPPING POINT: Some say a 1997 New York Times feature that touted the neighborhood as "the new bohemia" was the Lower East Side's watershed moment. But with shopping complexes, hotels, and luxury high-rises all currently proposed for areas along Delancey and East Houston, it may be that the crowning symbol of the Lower East Side's rebirth is yet to come.
WHAT'S NEW: Four years ago, the tenants at the Grand Street Co-ops voted themselves shareholders, removed the price caps, and are now able to sell their apartments at market rates—potentially making over 4,500 units available. Elsewhere in the neighborhood, developers have created luxury lofts from plumbing-supply houses like the Davis & Warshaw building or piled them atop storefronts that still wholesale fake fur jackets, like 130 Orchard Street.
PROGNOSIS: Some see the transformation as inevitable. As Douglas Elliman's Andy Gerringer says, "We've seen it in Chelsea, we've seen it in SoHo, and now it's the Lower East Side." Of course, young people newly slackerized by the dot-com bust may not be so willing, or able, to pay these prices anymore.

The Story of the Jewish Community in Bratislava
Bratislava Before the Holocaust
Bratislava During the Holocaust
The Bratislava Community After the Holocaust
Their Legacies Remain
The Fischer Family
The Steiner Family
An Album of Slovakian Jews' Identity Cards
Jetty (née Elinger) and Yehuda-Julius Fischer were the owners of a small hotel and restaurant in Bratislava, which served as a meeting place for the local Jewish community. Yehuda's father and brother were rabbis in the Slovakian communities of Piešťany and Prešov. The couple had three children: Gisi (1892), Desider-David (1894) and Gustav-Isidor Gershon (1896).
The two boys received higher education – Desider became a doctor, and eventually became the head of the Pediatric Ward in the Jewish hospital in Bratislava. Gustav, the younger brother, became a doctor of law. Gisi was not enrolled in higher studies, although she possessed an exceptionally keen intelligence. She devoted her energies to public activities in the fields of Jewish welfare and emigration. Gisi married Joseph Fleischmann, a businessman, and the couple had two daughters – Aliza (Lizi) and Judith (Juzi).
Jetty and Yehuda Fischer were devout, and adhered to an Orthodox religious lifestyle. Their three children became ardent Zionists. The family hotel hosted meetings of Zionist youth. The father of the family, Yehuda, passed away in 1936.
In September 1939, Dr. Gustav Fischer was attacked by thugs on the way home from his office. Two days later he died from the injuries sustained in the attack. His widow, Lily, could not bear her sorrow, and committed suicide. Gisi, who was active in the Jewish Center, and later on became one of the leaders of the Working Group sent both her daughters to Eretz Israel at the end of 1939. In 1942 her husband Joseph died. In addition to her public role, Gisi took care of her mother who was ill; they lived together in a small apartment in Bratislava until the end of summer 1944. In light of the renewed danger of deportation faced by the Jews who remained in the city, Gisi and her brother Desider decided to hospitalize their mother in a Christian hospital.
Gisi was murdered in Auschwitz in October 1944.
Desider, his wife Lily and their son, Albert (later: Avri), survived the war in hiding. After the war they retrieved Jetty from the hospital; she passed away in December of 1945. Desider-David, Lily and Avri Fischer immigrated to Israel in 1949.
Gisi and Joseph Fleischmann's daughters, who moved to Eretz Israel alone at a young age, experienced difficulties in adjusting to their new surroundings. These difficulties, and the separation from their parents, marked the girls for life. Both passed away without having children of their own.
The Chatam Sofer, 1762 – 1839
ר' משה סופר (שרייבר), יליד פרנקפורט, שכונה "החת"ם סופר" (ראשי תיבות של חיבורו "חידושי תורת משה"), היה מגדולי הפוסקים בדורו. הוא היה רבם ומחנכם של רבנים וראשי ישיבות בעלי שם. תלמידיו הקימו ישיבות ברחבי הונגריה. הרב סופר כיהן כרב קהילת ברטיסלווה בשנים 1806-1839, פיתח את ישיבת פרשבורג בעיר ועמד בראשה. תחת הנהגתו ידעה קהילת ברטיסלווה פריחה רוחנית ונמנתה עם המרכזים הדתיים החשובים ביותר במרכז אירופה. ר' סופר היה מראשי המתנגדים לתנועת ההשכלה ולרפורמה. סיסמתו היתה: "חדש אסור מן התורה". צאצאיו היו רבני קהילת ברטיסלווה ומנהיגי הישיבה עד השואה.

Get ready for your heart to skip a few beats if you plan to see the current film "Mountain," featuring goosebumps-inducing footage of wingsuiters, tightrope walkers, BASE jumpers, skiers, mountain bikers and rock climbers pursuing passions that take them to the world's highest peaks, from Alaska to Tibet.
To make the movie, director Jennifer Peedom relied on the skills of Renan Ozturk, a cinematographer who's also a mountaineer. While Ozturk shot some fresh footage for "Mountain," the film is mostly assembled from existing clips he lensed, as well as other images from mountaineers culled from multiple suppliers, as evidenced by the film's lengthy credits list. Peedom, who also worked with Ozturk on her 2015 documentary "Sherpa," was impressed by the process.
Explaining the reliance on existing footage, Peedom says it could have taken 10 years to shoot "Mountain" if she and Ozturk had gone on every expedition portrayed in the doc. Sourcing material from mountaineers — many of whom are highly skilled shooters — sped up the process of making the film and offered a breadth of authentic scenarios that show why some people live to conquer peaks despite the risks and hardships involved.
The director notes she was in search of "beautiful, long, epic takes" for the doc because the film was crafted to work with a classical score performed by the Australian Chamber Orchestra, under the musical direction of Richard Tognetti, and narration adapted from British mountaineer Robert Macfarlane's memoir "Mountains of the Mind" and read by Willem Dafoe.

Богдан (умро после 1363) је био српски казнац у доба владавине Уроша V (1355-1371).

Биографија
Богдан се спомиње у два историјска извора. Један је натпис пронађен у нишком граду из кога се види да је Ненад, син казнаца Богдана, подигао Копријан. Други податак потиче из повеље којом се регулише замена жупе Звечан за Брвеник између великог кнеза Војислава Војиновића и челника Мусе. Повеља је издата на јесен 1363. године. Казнац Богдан се помиње у повељи као владар села Глушце у Брвеничкој жупи. Исто село је имао у свом поседу извесни Белобрадић. Вероватно је село било подељено између два пронијара. Није позната даља судбина Богданова, нити да ли је доживео владавину кнеза Лазара. Богданово село је прешло у руке челника Мусе те је и сам Богдан био његов вазал. Богданов син Ненад био је у Лазаревој служби.

Use bare carbon steel material i.e. without any internal coating with a corrosion allowance.
Use bare carbon steel with corrosion inhibition.
Use carbon steel pipe with internal coating or lining.
Use carbon steel with cathodic protection.
Use Corrosion Resistant Alloy (CRA).
Carbon and low alloy steels are routinely specified for chemical, petrochemical, paper, oil production and gas processing equipment for sweet and sour service provided the general and pitting corrosion can be maintained within acceptable bounds and the materials are resistant to sulfide stress cracking. Carbon steel with adequate corrosion allowance is suitable for many applications and performs satisfactorily at temperatures between -29°C and 427°C. If the predicted corrosion rates of carbon steel are not sustainable for the design life of the plant facilities considering an acceptable corrosion allowance, an active means of protection of carbon steel must be considered. In most cases a corrosion allowance of 3 mm is considered appropriate to meet the design life for carbon steel material. In many engineering organizations a 6 mm corrosion allowance is considered as the upper limit of corrosion allowance.
Low-temperature carbon steel is used for subzero temperatures and low-alloy carbon steel is used for high temperature applications. After carbon steel, stainless steel can be used for many corrosive service applications followed by duplex steels and other corrosion resistant alloys such as Inconel 625 and Incoloy 825. Metallurgist or Corrosion Engineer is in most organizations responsible for preparation of material selection philosophy, material selection report and material selection diagrams. The material selection report and material selection diagram forms the basis for developing the piping material classes.
ASME B31.3 lists the commonly used metallic piping materials. Table below lists the various ASTM codes for Ferrrous and Non-Ferrous materials used in plant facilities.


The Respondent is Reza Aeg-Electric Bolvare Shikh Mofid of Sirjan, Islamic Republic of Iran.
The disputed domain name <aeg-electric.net> (the "Domain Name") is registered with OnlineNic, Inc. d/b/a China-Channel.com ("OnlineNic").
The Complaint was filed with the WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center (the "Center") on November 14, 2011. On November 14, 2011, the Center transmitted by email to OnlineNic, Inc. a request for registrar verification in connection with the disputed domain name. On November 15, 2011, OnlineNic, Inc. transmitted by email to the Center its verification response confirming that the Respondent is listed as the registrant and providing the Respondent's contact information.
In accordance with the Rules, paragraphs 2(a) and 4(a) of the Rules, the Center formally notified the Respondent of the Complaint, and the proceedings commenced on November 24, 2011. In accordance with the Rules, paragraph 5(a), the due date for Response was December 14, 2011. The Respondent did not submit any response. Accordingly, the Center notified the Respondent's default on December 19, 2011.
The Center appointed Felipe Claro as the sole panelist in this matter on January 18, 2012. The Panel finds that it was properly constituted. The Panel has submitted the Statement of Acceptance and Declaration of Impartiality and Independence, as required by the Center to ensure compliance with the Rules, paragraph 7 of the Rules.
The Complainant, AB Electrolux, is a Swedish company founded in 1901 and formally registered in 1919. AB Electrolux is a world leading producer of appliances and equipment for kitchen and cleaning. Electrolux is also one of the largest producers in the world of similar equipment for professional users. In addition, Electrolux leads the market in many of the individual product categories in which it competes.
Electrolux sells more than 40 million products to customers in 150 countries every year. The company focuses on innovations that are thoughtfully designed, based on extensive consumer insight, to meet the real needs of consumers and professionals. Electrolux products include refrigerators, dishwashers, washing machines, vacuum cleaners and cookers sold under esteemed brands such as AEG, AEG-Electrolux, Electrolux, Zanussi, Eureka and Frigidaire. In 2010, Electrolux had sales of SEK 109 billion and 55,150 employees.
The trademark AEG has gained its prestige due to the extensive and long-term use of the products and services of the Complainant and, in connection therewith, the tremendous costs incurred by the Complainant in connection with the production, distribution and advertising of the products and services bearing a well-known trademark associated with high quality within the areas for appliances and equipment for floor care, air conditioning, sewing machines, etc. As a result, the trademarks and the products and services designated by this trademark are connected with good reputation and international recognition. The AEG brand exemplifies all that the best German marks stand for: a strong heritage, exceptional engineering, and enviable innovation.
AEG was founded in 1883 in Berlin by Emil Rathenau, who had bought a few patents from American inventor Thomas Edison. The company was first known as Deutsche Edison Gesellschaft für angewandte Elektricität (DEG) but was renamed to Allgemeine Elektricitäts Gesellschaft (AEG) in 1887. Initially, AEG only produced electric light bulbs. Over the years, it evolved to include everything from cars, trains, power tools and electric machines to instruments, cables, nuclear power, motors, microelectronics, etc.
Moreover, AEG has, from the beginning, always been characterized by pioneering achievements synonymous with German engineering, thoughtful performance and precision. In its essence, the brand is about functional style and form, that combines top performance with excellent German design. This is stated in the tagline: "Perfekt in Form Und Funktion". The brand is founded on more than 120 years of innovation.
The Complainant has registered the trademark AEG as word and device marks in several classes in countries all over the world. The trademark AEG was registered long before the registration of the Domain Name. The Complainant has also registered the trademark AEG as a domain name under several gTLDs and ccTLDs worldwide, among these being <AEG.com>.
The Complainant contends that the Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in the Domain Name. The Complainant further asserts that the Respondent has registered and is using the Domain Name in bad faith because the dominant part of the Domain Name <aeg-electric.net> comprises the term "AEG" which is identical to the registered trademark AEG, which has been registered by the Complainant as trademarks and domain names in numerous countries all over the world.
The Complainant is the owner of the worldwide registered trademark AEG. The Respondent has registered the Domain Name which is confusingly similar to the trademarks owned by the Complainant. The addition of generic term to a trade or service mark is legally inconsequential and does not prevent a finding of confusing similarity.
In view of the Respondent's failure to file a response as required under paragraph 5 of the Rules, this proceeding has proceeded by way of default. Hence, under paragraphs 5(e), 14(a) and 15(a) of the Rules, the Panel is directed to decide this administrative proceeding on the basis of the Complainant's undisputed representations. In that regard, and apart from deciding this proceeding on the basis of Respondent's default, the Panel makes the following specific findings.
The Domain Name is confusingly similar to the trademark AEG. The Domain Name comprises the trademark AEG. The addition of the suffix "electric" is not relevant and will not have any impact on the overall impression of the dominant part of the name AEG, which is instantly recognizable as the world famous trademark. The suffix is an English word which is closely connected to the Complainant's electrical products. In AB Electrolux v. Ilgaz Fatih Micik, WIPO Case No. D2009-0777, regarding the domain name <electrolux-aeg-servisi.com>, the panel stated that "Respondent's addition of the generic term "service" does not reduce that confusion". The same discussion applies in the current case, namely the Domain Name adding the generic term "electric".
The addition of the top-level domain (Tld) ".net" does not have any impact on the overall impression of the dominant portion of the Domain Name and is therefore irrelevant to determine the confusing similarity of the trademark.
With reference to the reputation of the trademark AEG there is a considerable risk that the public will perceive the Respondent's Domain Name either as a domain name owned by the Complainant or that there is some kind of commercial relation with the Complainant. By using AEG as a dominant part of the Domain Name, the Respondent exploits the goodwill and the image of the trademark, which may likely result in the dilution and other damage for the Complainant's trademark.
The Complainant has not found that the Respondent has any registered trademarks or trade names corresponding to the Domain Name. It is also clear that no license or authorization of any other kind has been given by the Complainant to the Respondent to use the trademark.
In Guerlain S.A. v. Peikang, WIPO Case No. D2000-0055, the panel stated that, "in the absence of any license or permission from the Complainant to use any of its trademarks or to apply for or use any domain name incorporating those trademarks, it is clear that no actual or contemplated bona fide or legitimate use of the domain name could be claimed by Respondent". See also Akbank v. Dr. Mehmet Kahveci, WIPO Case No. 2001-1488 and Citigroup Inc.,Citicorp and Citibank, N.A. v. Ghinwa and Gaiia and Faouzi Kh, WIPO Case No. D2003-0494, etc.
The Respondent registered the Domain Name on July 3, 2011. The mere registration of a domain name does not give the owner a right or a legitimate interest in respect of the domain name.
Because the Respondent has no registered trademarks or trade names corresponding to the Domain Name, the Respondent may not claim any rights established by common usage. In Chinatrust Commercial Bank, Ltd. and Chinatrust Bank (U.S.A.) v. China Holding Company, WIPO Case No. D2001-0826, the Panel was of the opinion that "The Respondent is not connected to the subject Domain Name either through its name or its business", which clearly indicated lack of legitimate interest.
The Respondent has intentionally chosen the Domain Name based on registered trademarks in order to generate traffic to a commercial website. The website has the look and feel of an official website luring visitors into believing that the Complainant is operating the website. By doing this, the Respondent is misleading Internet users to commercial web sites and consequently, the Respondent is tarnishing the Complainant's trademarks. There is no disclaimer on the website declaring the non-relationship with the trademark holder.
The Respondent uses the Domain Name as a gateway to what appears to be an official website. The Respondent is not a reseller of AEG nor has it received any permission to register the Domain Name. The website is maintained in German; the Respondent is located in Iran and when entering the Respondent's email address in Google, multiple Chinese web forums are returned mentioning the Respondent's email address. It would seem as if the Respondent has some sort of business in China. There appears to be no rhyme or reason behind this registration. Instead, the Respondent has intentionally chosen the Domain Name based on a registered trademark in order to generate traffic to sites where visitors would enter the website with the belief that the website is affiliated with the Complainant or has been endorsed by the Complainant. Similar elements can be found in Aktiebolaget Electrolux v. shang hai guang dian dian qi ji tuan gu fen you xian gong si, WIPO Case No. D2009-1443, where the Respondent also registered a domain name, <aeg-powercontrol.com>, connected to what appeared to be an official website by the Complainant. Likewise, the Respondent had placed the Complainant's logo and product's bearing the Complainant's trademark was seeking to be sold through the website.
The considerable value and goodwill of the Complainant's trademark is, most likely, a significant reason for why the Respondent registered the Domain Name at issue here. Since the Respondent appears to be offering service for products of the brand AEG which has not been granted by the Complainant by license or permission, the Respondent is misleading Internet users by suggesting a relationship with the Complainant that in fact does not exist. The nature of the website to which the Domain Name leads leaves little doubt that the Respondent was aware of the Complainant and its mark. There is a strong indication that the Respondent intentionally chose the Domain Name based on the Complainant's registered well established trademarks in order to generate more traffic to his website. In other words, the Domain Name has been registered and is being used in bad faith.
The Complainant first tried to contact the Respondent on September 22, 2011 through a cease and desist letter by e-mail. The Complainant advised the Respondent that the unauthorized use of the AEG trademark within the Domain Name violated the Complainant's rights in said trademark. The Complainant requested a voluntary transfer of the Domain Name and offered compensation for the expenses of registration and transfer fees (not exceeding out of pocket expenses). There was no reply from the Respondent and a reminder was sent on September 27, 2011. Since the efforts of trying to solve the matter amicably were unsuccessful, the Complainant chose to file a complaint according to the UDRP process. It has been mentioned in earlier disputes that the failure of a respondent to respond to a cease and desist letter, or a similar attempt at contact, has been considered relevant in a finding of bad faith, as exemplified in News Group Newspapers Limited and News Network Limited v. Momm Amed Ia, WIPO Case No. D2000-1623, Nike, Inc. v. Azumano Travel, WIPO Case No. D2000-1598 and America Online, Inc. v. Antonio R. Diaz, WIPO Case No. D2000-1460.
The Domain Name is currently connected to a website seemingly identical to the official AEG website. The Respondent is also using the Copyright symbol at the bottom of the page which enhances the impression that the Respondent in some way is associated with the Complainant. On the Respondent's website, Complainant's products are offered without permission to do so. A reseller can be making a bona fide offering of goods and services and thus have a legitimate interest in a domain name if the use fits certain requirements. One of these requirements is that the site shall accurately disclose the registrant's relationship with the trademark owner. Nowhere does the Respondent point out the relationship (or lack thereof) between himself and the Complainant. None of the above criteria are met in the current case.
In another case, Aktiebolaget Electrolux v. Jose Manuel, WIPO Case No. D2010-2031, regarding the domain name <grupoelectrolux.com>, the panel there stated that, "…by registering and using the disputed domain name incorporating the Complainant's widely-known and widely-registered trademark ELECTROLUX, the effect is to mislead Internet users and consumers into thinking that the Respondent is, in some way or another, connected to, sponsored by or affiliated with the Complainant and its business; or that the Respondent's activities are approved or endorsed by the Complainant." These circumstances apply in this case as well.
The Respondent was aware of the rights the Complainant had in the trademark AEG and the value of said trademark at the time of the registration. By using the Domain Name, the Respondent is not making a legitimate noncommercial or fair use without intent for commercial gain, but is instead misleadingly diverting consumers for his own commercial gain. The Respondent has failed to respond to any of the Complainant's request for transfer. In such circumstances, the Respondent must be considered to have registered and be using the Domain Name in bad faith.
For the foregoing reasons, in accordance with paragraphs 4(i) of the Policy and 15 of the Rules, the Panel orders that the Domain Name <aeg-electric.net> be transferred to the Complainant.

The Razor Skyline – Dark Water Oasis
September 15, 2013 September 15, 2013 / Jason's Jukebox
How does one respond to adversity? People like to repeat cliché statements on social media or plaster those statements onto a photograph of a famous person. "Sometimes adversity is what you need to face in order to become successful." "Most of the shadows of this life are caused by standing in one's own sunshine." The funny thing about cliché statements though – most of them are true. The RaZor Skyline is a band who has persevered through lineup changes to deliver their strongest album, Dark Water Oasis.
The band was formed in Seattle in the mid 90's by Karen Kardell and the_gun. Between 1996 and 2003 The RaZor Skyline released 3 albums that showed that they were inspired by Siouxie & the Banshees as well as The Cure (for the Cure fanatics reading this, you can throw The Glove in there too). Whereas those bands were clearly in the post-punk and Goth (but don't call it Goth per Robert Smith) camps, TRS took those influences and incorporated some metal influences into the mix. Lead singer Karen Kardell left the band after the 2003 release of The Bitter Well, leaving the future of the band in question. Fortunately Miska Kazda (formerly of Dalet-Yod) was able to step in as the new singer in 2009, leading to the release of Dark Water Oasis. It is clear from the very first moments of the record that this is a band rejuvenated, making each note count. Nods to the Goth crowd are there, but so is an eclectic mix of synths, ethnic percussion, and soulful vocals.
Salvation lies in our grasp… (album highlights)
Vittoria gets the album started off on a strong note, the doom-like synths that open giving way to a driving guitar refrain and tribal drumming. Miska's vocals use the perfect blend of command and emotion. Key lyrics: "I can see in your eyes the innocence / of a child who has never been afraid / and I hope that your eyes will never see / all the fears in this world we have made"
View of Paradise shows a bit of a metal influence (which I spoke about earlier in this piece), the guitars weaving in and out of the mix. Vocals are muted, fitting within the overall dark atmosphere of the track. Synth pop metal? Something like that. "Salvation lies in our grasp, but we cannot pay the price / Every day the children dream with a view of paradise"
Dark Water qualifies as the album's title track and is a masterful song that plays to the band's strengths. Soulful vocals, sinister synths, metal tinged melodic guitar – it is all there. The chorus is my favorite on the record, emotion spilling out of Miska's voice with these words "Dark water that kills the sea / it terrifies me"
This is a record that you'll find yourself reaching for over and over and comes highly recommended. You can find out more about the band via their website http://www.razorskyline.com or look them up on The Social Network – https://www.facebook.com/TheRaZorSkyline.

Bonilla Literary: Dirt Stars Series Chronicles Effects of Permanent Hurricane on Earth
Bonilla Literary wasisbe
The hurricane season is upon us once again, and so is Hector Luis Bonilla's new release, "Dirt Stars Shovel One Judgment Day" in conjunction with Lulu the world's fastest-growing provider of print-on-demand books. Shovel One takes us back 65 million years to a possible scenario of our solar system when Venus and Mars were alive and the people of waterworld Neptune were the little giants of the solar system. Atlantis did not sink, she is hidden. Dirt Stars One is the grand opening of a fun fiction series depicting the record of the sins of the angels against the universe starting at the time before the Sun was born, followed by Earth's global surface ascension, and ending with the realization that everything is frozen nothing. However, at the same time that the author regales his readership with the fun story of the Air Hunters, Bonilla's real public service consists in introducing his Universal Similarity Theory. And that is why this fascinating book series bears a terrible omen, the possibility of Earth begetting a permanent hurricane; one that dry land would not be able to stop, a storm so wide and powerful that it could last up to six months. And that is just the beginning. So, if the thought of the passage of Hurricane Katrina feels bad still, feel again! A reader must feel in their mind what it would be like to live under the hard winds of a hurricane that just wouldn't go away. The first two books of Bonilla's Dirt Stars Series will portrait what exactly is like to experience the wrath of a permanent cyclone. The next two will content nature's mechanical possibilities for such a future. Links to publication: http://www.permanenthurricane.com and http://www.lulu.com/dirt Hector Luis Bonilla's career researching general global warming and atmospheric dynamics began in 1985. He studied philosophy and psychology at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. Dirt Stars One is a self-publishing effort by Bonilla Literary of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

It can be hard to break the cycle of alcohol abuse. Anyone can become dependent on alcohol after prolonged abuse which makes any effort to stop drinking harder. Help is always an option, though. Although it can take time, there are places you can reach out to that will help you break the cycle of dangerous drinking and will help you stay sober.
Alcohol abuse can have harmful effects on your body, your mind, your relationships, and many other aspects of your life. Many people want to stop their dangerous drinking habits. Some may try to stop on their own. If you try to go through withdrawal on your own, you're far more likely to relapse.
There are a lot of factors that make people abuse alcohol in the first place. Some of these factors include serious life events, relationship problems, untreated psychological issues and simply drinking too much. If you don't take the time to identify these factors, they can become triggers to drink and you'll feel a craving for alcohol anytime any of them appear in your life. With the right help, you can identify those triggers and learn how to cope with them without turning to alcohol.
People that struggle with alcohol dependence will experience withdrawal symptoms anytime they try to stop drinking. Withdrawal symptoms can vary from mild to severe depending on how long you've been drinking and include shaking, irritability, confusion, sweating, nausea, and vomiting. People who have been abusing alcohol for years can even experience seizures and hallucinations. Getting through those withdrawal symptoms alone can be almost impossible and relapse can lead to even more health issues.
There are treatment centers that help people recover from alcohol abuse and addiction. The staff at these centers help patients recover mentally, physically, and, in some cases, spiritually.
The first step for many people going through treatment should be withdrawing at an alcohol detox center. These treatment centers specifically help patients work through withdrawal. There is staff at the facility at all times to make sure patients go through the withdrawal process comfortably and safely. Adjustments are made in treatment as the patient's symptoms worsen and then improve.
Some detox centers only help patients through withdrawal. Others start working with their patients so they can learn about and cope with their drinking triggers before they start alcohol rehab. A quality Florida detox center like Serenity House Detox in Fort Lauderdale offers early treatment options including one-on-one therapy, meditation classes, and chiropractic care, alongside their medically safe detox. These same detox centers are likely to help patients transition into a rehab center once they're ready to move forward with their recovery experience.
Some detox centers will only help you through the pains of withdrawal. Other centers will prioritize your desire for life-long sobriety. You want to enter detox at a facility that puts your comfort and emotional stability during recovery first.
Serenity House Detox will prioritize your comfort at their alcohol detox centers in Florida. We understand that every patient is different, no matter what substance he or she is struggling with. That's why we work in a nurturing way with all of our patients individually. We want to help you through the difficulties of withdrawal and prepare you for the rest of your journey to sobriety in a way that will actually be beneficial for you.
If you or a loved one is abusing alcohol, help is always available. Let Serenity House Detox help you get on the path to long-term sobriety. Call us today at 866-294-5306 to get a proper start to your journey right.


It was over two weeks ago but the memory still rings with warmth, softness and love. I stood and read a story at Mother Tongue about my mother and about grief. Mum was in the audience at my invitation and when I started to cry she came and stood with me. I clearly remember the gentle clicking of support from the audience that bore me up as I stood, too overcome with emotion to speak.
I was terrified before hand. Sitting in the audience while other women bared their souls, I told the persistent nag in the back of my brain that we weren't going through with it. When my turn came I calmly rose and took the stage. My mother, the family historian, proudly introduced me with six generations of matrilineal ancestors, all the way back to Brigid who got on a boat in Ireland. I was and am so pleased at her joy in that moment, sharing a knowledge that is seldom appreciated.
All night people approached us to thank us for sharing it and to share their own stories. "You are not alone, you are not alone, you are not alone." they said, each in their own way. I'm so glad Mum was there to receive that with me, to know that her experience has echoes in other people's livess. It felt so right to be sharing the story together, even though I wrote it, it belongs to us both.

The Postponed and Delayed Video Games of 2021
by Ray Ampoloquio updated March 3, 2021
Video game delays are par for the course. They just happen and we need to accept that. However, the year 2021 is a rare exception. This is because many games with release dates that were supposedly already set in stone are being postponed and delayed, sometimes indefinitely, much to the dismay of fans.
Outriders will be available in April 2020, nearly six months after its initial release date.
Unlike 2020, where some release dates were pushed back for a couple of months, 2021 will see, and in fact, has already seen, more than its fair share of video game delays.
With that said, we've decided to round up all of the big video game delays confirmed so far.
The following information is accurate as of July 6, 2021. We'll take games off the list as they release.
Elite Dangerous: Odyssey
Cyberpunk 2077 Free DLC
Five Nights at Freddy's: Security Breach
Next God of War Game
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake
Release date: September 14, 2021; delayed from May 2021
While fans are understandably excited for Arkane Studios' co-op shooter, Redfall, the developers of Dishonored has something that's going to release much sooner in the form of Deathloop.
Deathloop is looking a lot like the Dishonored games with a clever twist. In this action-adventure title, players will take on the role of Colt, an assassin who finds himself stuck in a time loop. To escape, Colt will have to take out eight different targets before midnight. Otherwise, time will reset and he'll gave to go back to the start. Also, if Colt dies in the middle of the loop, Colt is taken back to the start of the entire loop.
Deathloop is also spicing things up with a multiplayer component. This added feature lets players jump into other player's games as Julianna, an agent sent to protect the time loop by hunting down Colt.
Deathloop should've been out by now with a May 2021 release date. Unfortunately, this was pushed back to a later date. Now, Deathloop isn't expected to release until September 14, 2021, which is a long way off.
Release date: October 12, 2021; delayed from August 2021
Turtle Rock Studios' spiritual sequel to the Left 4 Dead games won't be available until October 12, 2021, which is a huge shame as it would have been available in August originally. But, if it gives the studio more time to polish the experience, who are we to complain?
Back 4 Blood is looking every bit like a more modern version of Left 4 Dead with its own unique twist to it.
Be sure to check out the latest trailer above to find out more about Back 4 Blood.
Release date: August 31; delayed from May 2021
After spending years trying to get into the gaming industry, it seemed like Amazon finally had the right game in New World. However, the multi-national e-commerce platform just can't seem to catch a break, as the game has already been pushed back to an August 31 release after being originally slated to release on May 2021.
Amazon claims that the delay was to make sure that their MMO title will have proper end-game content at launch.
This is arguably the best move that they can make. It would be wise for them to learn from what Marvel's Avengers did when it was released with a serious lack of endgame content - there was nothing to keep gamers around and interested in the long haul.
Release date: October 7, 2021; delayed from February 2021
It seems like players will have to wait a while to work together with the Amigos to try and take down the tyrannical rule on the fictional island known as Yara.
After being confirmed to release in February 2021, Ubisoft has since stated that Far Cry 6 will instead launch before September 2021.
Release date: Fall 2021; delayed from late 2020
An expected Xbox Series X launch title, Microsoft ultimately decided to put an indefinite hold on Halo Infinite. However, as 343 themselves later confirmed, the game is indeed set to launch sooner than expected, with a Fall 2021 timeline.
Now, we don't really know just yet what prompted the delay. Unlike others who have been transparent about the difficulties brought on by the pandemic, 343 nor Microsoft have cited a reason for the delay. Either way, we are thankful that Halo Infinite will finally release after years of waiting.
Release date: Late Spring (PC) and Fall 2021 (Console); delayed from early 2021
True, it's an expansion and not a full title. But, that doesn't mean that the delay hurts gamers any less.
Frontier Developments note that the delay is the direct result of the "ongoing impact of the pandemic", citing UK's renewed lockdowns as one of the main reasons why they had to push their development timeline.
The upcoming expansion is a big one for Elite Dangerous as it will add the much-awaited feature of being able to land and explore the game's numerous planets on-foot.
Release date: late 2021; delayed from early 2021
CD Projekt Red has their work cut out for them as they fight the uphill battle of salvaging their reputation and turning Cyberpunk 2077 into the game they billed it as. However, doing so by releasing DLC content will have to wait as they work hard to fix the game and make sure that it's playable on all consoles, including the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
Patch 1.2 for Cyberpunk 2077 is expected to release in March 2021.
Release date: late 2021; delayed from late 2020
Five Nights at Freddy's: Security Breach is the first big release in the FNaF series in a while. It was scheduled to release in late 2020 before it was postponed to early 2021 and eventually to late 2021. There is no specific release date available for Security Breach as of yet.
Security Breach will be a timed exclusive for the PS4 and PS5, as well as PC, before coming to the Xbox platforms at a later date.
Release date: 2022; delayed from 2021
Hogwarts Legacy was set to be one of the highlights of 2021 for current-gen and next-gen consoles but was instead delayed to 2022.
Warner Bros. didn't really specify a reason behind the delay. They also didn't clarify just when exactly in 2022 the game is set to release. This means that the 2022 release date is just as much of a mystery as that of its originally planned 2021 release window.
Gran Turismo 7 was one of those titles that Sony seemed pretty sure would release in 2021. However, Sony has now confirmed that this is no longer the case. Instead, the game will now launch in March 2022, with Sony citing "COVID-related production challenges" forcing them to delay the first numbered Gran Turismo title in years for a full year.
If it's any consolation, Gran Turismo 7 is also coming to the PS4 on top of its expected PS5 launch.
After confirming their ambitious plan to release one major expansion per year until 2022 starting with Beyond Light, Bungie had no choice but to adjust their plans due to the pandemic. As a result, the next Destiny 2 expansion, The Witch Queen, will launch during the first half of 2022 after being slated for a 2021 release.
If it's any consolation though, Bungie seems confident that 2022's Lightfall expansion will release as planned. Or, at least, that's what we're getting from their lack of announcement regarding the third and final expansion from their three-year plan.
There's not a lot of info to go on in the next God of War game. All we know is that it's coming to the PS4 and won't release until 2022 instead of the expected 2021 release date.
Release date: Later date; delayed from March 18
The Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake is unlikely to make an appearance this year. This is after Ubisoft has delayed it once before, after it was pushed from its original January 2021 release date to March 2021, with the title now expected to release at an unspecified later date.
Release date: late 2021; delayed from February 25
Ubisoft's "massive multiplayer playground" for sports enthusiasts, where players can bike, ski, or ride a wingsuit across heaven will not release on February 25 as initially intended. Instead, the game will arrive later in 2021, as confirmed in a recent statement.
Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2
Release date: Indefinitely; delayed from 2021
A delay to an unspecified date and a change in developers right around the same time a game was expected to launch never bodes well for any title. This includes Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2, the sequel to the highly anticipated cult classic.
Paradox Interactive made the decision to do both earlier this year, citing that they needed "a change" although they did not discuss exactly just what kind of change the development needed.
At this point, the game is very well stuck in development hell. The indefinite delay is just the latest in the long line of delays and departures.
Back 4 Blood, Cyberpunk, Cyberpunk 2077, Deathloop, Destiny, Destiny 2, Destiny 2: The Witch Queen, DLC, Elite Dangerous, Elite Dangerous: Odyssey, Far Cry, Far Cry 6, Five Nights at Freddy's: Security Breach, God of War, Gran Turismo, Gran Turismo 7, Halo, Halo Infinite, Hogwarts Legacy, New World, Riders Republic, Vampire, Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2

Kerala Government – Alcohol Fixes and Border Tiffs
A couple of days into the lockdown that was announced by the Central Government, some strange but not unforeseen factors of the lock-down began to surface. Of all those, Kerala Government had to deal with two extremely ridiculous, but important issues!
Suicides of Alcohol addicts.
Even as the State had announced a lock-down much before the Central Government, the beverage outlets hadn't been closed down. They did have a lot of pressure to do so. But the Kerala Government tried to keep it open as long as possible not only because it was a major source of revenue, but also because the lack of supply could cause other issues. Keralites are known to be tanker lorries when it comes to consuming alcohol. Hence it shouldn't have been shocking to see that people were committing suicide for want of alcohol. As of 29th Mar 2020, there were 9 deaths in the state; 7 suicides, 1 cardiac arrest and 1 case of having drunk aftershave lotion (Source:news18).
Following this, the CM Pinarayi Vijayan said that people who were suffering from withdrawal symptoms, could approach government hospitals and obtain a prescription from a doctor stating that the patient was having withdrawal symptoms. This along-with certain other documents could submitted to the excise department, who will then give a pass to the patient. This pass can be shown to the beverage corporation who'll then provide limited quantities of liquor. Tipplers (someone who often drinks alcohol) were also being urged to approach de-addiction centers. (Source: Business today)
Here is an excerpt from News18.com:
"According to the Kerala Mental Health Survey, 2018, there are about 50,000 men suffering from alcohol-related problems. Moreover, nearly 10,000 to 15,000 of them may develop serious problems like alcohol withdrawal fits, hallucinations and depression. The number of deaths in a couple of days endorses the projections available from the survey," said Dr CJ John, a senior psychiatrist.
Indian Medical Association and the Kerala Government Medical Officers Association (KGMOA) are against the idea of prescribing alcohol as it is unscientific. Alcohol isn't a medicine and a liquor prescription could result in cancellation the Doctor's license.
Death Due to Closing Down of Borders
The other disturbing issue the Kerala Government had to face was when the Karnataka closed the border on the Kasargod side of Kerala. The move is understandable as the Coronavirus cases in Kasargod have been high. A State has to protect its people.
Mangalore is a medical hub. When you have a city with multiple hospitals and top notch facilities, the neighbouring towns and villages will all be dependant on that city for medical emergencies irrespective of whether the city is in another State. That is how it has been for the residents of Kasargod. Being bordering States, Mangalore depends upon Kasargod for their medical staff and Kasargod depends upon Mangalore for their medical facilities.
When the lock-down was imposed, Karnataka government dumped a mound of mud at the border to stop the vehicles from Kerala. A kidney patient was being treated in a hospital in Kasargod. When his conditional worsened, the hospital discharged him and referred to a hospital in Mangalore. The Karnataka police didn't let them through and he died on his way back. With each medical emergency, the Karnataka Police didn't let the ambulances go through and 3 patients succumbed on their way back or soon after, while a woman had to give birth in the ambulance.
The deaths weren't due to Coronavirus. The deaths were sacrifices so that Coronavirus didn't spread to anyone in Karnataka. I completely understand why the roads are blocked, but I don't understand how why we can't bend rules if we're discussing a case of life and death! How about letting in only the critical cases through the border? Ensure that they're isolated (To keep Coronavirus at bay in case they have it), and ive them the treatment they came for (with all the precautions taken by doctors; gear et al). Meanwhile collect their samples and in three days, you'll know if they have the virus while saving their lives. I am not a government official or a medic. This was an off the top of the head solution and while there maybe flaws here, I know for a fact that a solution can be found instead of just letting people die!
While this is an action Karnataka could have taken in the beginning, after much requests from the part of Kerala CM, an agreement was reached between the two states. Karnataka will let non-Covid patients through the checkpost provided they submit the relevant papers and only one attendant will be given entry with the patient. It certainly is an improvement compared to the earlier scenario.
But it makes me wonder why there's always a lack of harmony between neighbours. When I look at the South Indian States alone, I keep seeing an underlying hatred between all of them and scenarios like these seem a bit too insensitive to me.

Balaka says:
This is ironical..they are closing borders to stop the spread of Covid19 so that people do not die..but least bothered about the lives of patients suffering from other diseases and letting them die on the road. Once the pandemic is over, I am sure there would be more deaths due to collateral damage than covid19.
Sinjana (@backpacknxplore) says:
Thanks for bringing this to light. Strange coincidence- I too wrote about Kasargod. For a state with such commendable medical services, this distrct seems to be highly neglected, which is not a good thing. But patients suffering from other diseases are suffering across the country these days. It's something that needs urgent attention.
Kikibee says:
Yeah its even disheartening! But I hope Kasargod improves it health care. Having its own trauma care that people won't seek Mangalore for any instances.

This is sad and disheartening. Government officials need to be authorized to be empowered to make proper decisions without fear of repercussions. It is horrible to believe that officials are afraid to bend a blanket shutdown when it is properly justified.


BSP-SP alliance, UP Elections, UP Election, UP Elections 2019, Lok Sabha election, Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP), Samajwadi Party (SP), BSP, SP, 80, 80 Lok Sabha seats, Uttar Pradesh Election 2019, Uttar Pradesh Elections, UP Elections Results, UP Election Results 2019.
One of the most surprising alliances in the Lok Sabha Election 2019, is the partnership between Samajwadi Party and the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) in Uttar Pradesh. It is considered as a shocking alliance, since both the parties have ended 25-year-old bitter rivalry joining hands to fight BJP and Congress in the Uttar Pradesh which has the highest number of Lok Sabha seats.
There are several reasons behind the alliance, one of the primary reasons is that both the parties need to consolidate their position. These parties were struggling to get retain their positions, when BJP backed by Narendra Modi wave which swept the entire country in the 2014. In the same year, when the Lok Sabha election concluded, Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) could not win a single seat out of the 80 seats, while Samajwadi Party (SP) managed to win five seats. Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) won 71 seats. In terms of polling percent, BJP garnered 42.63 %, while the Samajwadi Party got 22.35 % and BSP got around 19.77 %.
In 2017 Assembly elections, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) won the election by 278 seats out of 325 seats. The party was able to get 41.35 % without projecting a chief ministerial candidate before the election. Samajwadi Party and the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) won 54 and 19 seats respectively. They got around 28.08 % and 22.23 % votes.
The BSP-SP combine has potential to challenge the BJP's poll math. When we observe the 2014 Lok Sabha vote share, one can see a clear picture. In 2014, the BJP received around 43.3 percent of the votes and won 71 seats (90 per cent) of the 80 seats. This victory has been only possible since the BSP and SP which were in the opposition and had divided the votes. When we combine this new alliance, it would be around 42 percent which is almost equal to BJP alliance. If they had joined in the election they could have brought all their votes in a common alliance and won more seats than BJP.
There is a rising discontent among the people in Uttar Pradesh. Several opinion polls have predicted that UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath's popularity has been slipped significantly in the past several months. Some of the most important factors are incidents of lynchings, cow slaughter, fake encounter killings by UP police. These have angered the common man and express their displeasure about the working of the government. Besides, unemployment, persistent problems in Agriculture, rising price of commodities, communal issues have hurt the people. Besides, the BJP was also accused of polarizing the election in communal lines.
SP-BSP combination has the capability to bring together of two strong social bases Other Backward Classes (OBCs) and the Dalits. This unification may actually turn the tables on the BJP. Besides, this alliance could avoid the split of Muslim votes as it did in the past. Many political experts believe that if the BJP is defeated in the Lok Sabha elections and Congress manages to win 100-plus seats in the Lok Sabha polls, the SP-BSP combine could extend their support to the centre. Besides, depending upon the seats they could also demand a share of power.
The most surprising alliance in the Lok Sabha Election 2019 could emerge as the strongest force in the entire country. With around 80 seats in the state, strong collaboration of the big political parties like SP and BSP has the capability to capitalise on the errors and mistakes committed by ruling BJP in the State. With around a month left for the polls, UP will be witnessing a bitterly fought election.
Can India have simultaneous elections for both Parliament and state assemblies ?


The relentless stream of news about toxics in our environment can sometimes feel overwhelming. At the same time, complacency can grow. The obstacles are too great, we tell ourselves; the struggle is futile.
Yet living in an environmental soup is not inevitable. We can take steps to protect our families and ourselves, as well as the greater families of our communities and our world.
Many women and men have stepped beyond fear and complacency to take action. Some have been inspired by the revelation of their own cancer, others by the threat of harm to their loved ones.
Here we offer not only an innovative model for activist-scientist alliances, but also profiles of a number of advocates who have worked against the seeming inevitability of compromised environments. At Silent Spring Institute we take inspiration from the words and deeds not just of Rachel Carson, the woman who single-handedly sparked the modern environmental movement, but also all those who walk along her bold path.

The above picture shows the home screen of the BAM portal. The home screen lists all the BAM view's currently configured in the environment and it list all the BAM databases configured.
From a monitoring perspective it's important to keep an eye on the size of database data and log files. BizTalk 360 eases this process by displaying them on the home screen as shown above.
When you expand the BAM node in the object explorer it automatically list's all the BAM views deployed in the environment. For example, in the above picture the current test environment got 2 BAM views deployed.
A BAM view can have one or more activities, Activity search functionality allows users to query the activity data as shown above.
When the user selects a "BAM View" from the object explorer, the above screen is shown, it automatically populates all the activities in that "BAM View" in a drop down list. The user can then select the appropriate activity.
Once the activity is selected, all the available columns in that activity are populated on the "Available Columns" list, the user can then move the required columns to "Selected Columns" list, optionally user can also tell how to sort the results by moving appropriate columns to "Order by Columns". (Note: multiple columns can be selected and moved between available, selected and order by columns).
There is also a powerful query builder functionality to fine grain the results, which is explained bit more in detail in next section.
Once everything is set, user can then press the "Execute Query" button to see the results.
BizTalk 360 integrated BAM portal comes with powerful query builder, which allows the support people to query the BAM data seamlessly.
Instead of asking the support person to enter the data manually, BizTalk 360 pre-populates the available values in the drop down list, so the user can simply select the appropriate ones.
BizTalk 360 automatically understands the data type of the column and displays a corresponding input type, for example if its a date time column, it displays a rich calendar/time picker as shown below.
In order to view the "BAM data" users should have appropriate permission. BizTalk 360 comes with integrated user permission display screen which lists all the users and roles that got permission for that particular BAM View as shown below.
When you create and deploy BAM activities, by default it will have an active time window of 6 months. It's important to review activity time window based on your requirement and change it if necessary. You can refer to this previous article BAM Production Environment management to understand the importance of activity time window. The BAM data will reside in the active BAMPrimaryImport database based on the active windows time frame. Normally you can get to this data only by using the command line BAM management tool bm.exe by passing right arguments, but BizTalk 360 makes it seamless and bring the information straight into the integrated BAM portal as shown below.
BizTalk 360 piggy backs the security infrastructure provided by BizTalk server to access any BAM related data. This gives the maximum protection and it respects the existing BAM security setup. It's important to make sure the BAM data is protected, since it might have some sensitive information.
eamless access to all the required information. That's the main objective behind BizTalk 360 and the integrated BAM portal functionality is one of them. This avoids the support person to jump into different tools to get to different data all related to the same application/environment they are supporting.
PS: If in case you haven't noticed BizTalk 360 is a web based (RIA) application, built using Microsoft SilverLight. The above screens are accessible via browser. There is no necessity to install anything on the client PC except Microsoft SilverLight.

Coming to Disney+: Natalie Portman Narrates Disneynature's Dolphin Reef
We've already learned so much about all the incredible content to come on Disney+, Disney's brand-new streaming service, when it launches this November… but leave it to them to surprise us with something more!
In honor of this month's recent Earth Day celebration, Disney+ revealed that Academy Award®-winning actress Natalie Portman (Black Swan) narrates the next feature film from Disneynature, Dolphin Reef—which will debut on Disney+. The film dives under the sea to frolic with some of the planet's most engaging animals; created with Disneynature's signature storytelling style, the film introduces audiences to Echo, a young Pacific bottlenose dolphin who can't quite decide if it's time to grow up and take on new responsibilities. Dolphin society is tricky, y'see, and the coral reef that Echo and his family call home depends on all of its inhabitants to keep it healthy… But Echo has a tough time resisting all the adventures the ocean has to offer! Keith Scholey, director of Disneynature's Bears, helms the film.
Dolphin Reef will join Disney+'s crazy-cool slate of original nonfiction programming, including Be Our Chef, Encore!, Ink & Paint, The World According to Jeff Goldblum, and so much more. (Plus, Disneynature's most recent release, Penguins, will be available on Disney+ in 2020.) We can't wait to join Echo and his friends "under the sea"!

Disney's Aladdin Tour Welcomes Two Millionth Guest
Just a few days ago, the North American tour of Disney's Aladdin not only celebrated its second anniversary, but it also welcomed its whopping two millionth guest—a lucky gal by the name of Marcela Bloise—at The San Jose Center for the Performing Arts.
Marcela, who lives in San Jose, and her friend Manuel Ortiz were surprised with an upgrade to premium orchestra seats for the performance; later, they were treated to a special backstage tour, as well as a photo opportunity with the show's stars. (And the entire experience was nothing short of life-altering for Manuel—Aladdin was his first live theatrical experience ever!)

Jerk Box got dinged for the second time in six months with a yellow card. They didn't provide a handwashing sink and didn't clean washroom fixtures.
My dear, darling, Weston King Neighbourhood Centre got a yellow card for inadequate pest control and not keeping food cold enough.
The Bonita Restaurant got yellow-carded for not maintaining their dishwasher. That's the third yellow card they've pulled in three years.
Alex's Deli was warned for not preventing contamination with a cover.
P&M's, you know I love you, but would you please, please put your food on pallets? You were told to a few months ago, and you've just been warned again.
Weston Station! You're back! Way to go, buddy. About the towels and soap though: I know nobody eats at your place, but let's keep up appearances, okay? And that's two warnings this year. And tidy up, would you?
Continental Noodles. You're a Weston gem, and you've had no infractions at all for two years.
Devon House—we've never had the pleasure. You just keep on keeping on, though. No warnings for you in two years either.
And Pelmo Restaurant. Nice, guys. Those inspectors are all over you—8 in two years—but they can't find so much as soap spot. Well done.
re Jerk Box- I think they are getting dinged on a technicality. They do have a sink to wash hands but maybe not specific to JUST washing hands. None the less, the Jerk chicken is wicked good. I order it all the time and so far my health is intact.
I also just wanted to add, that in that respect, at least in the case of Jerk Box, I think your headline is unfair. Let's try and support our local restaurants!
Ah, I see. Well, yes, I suppose my headline might be unfair. But, on the other hand, they could install another sink.
I agree that we should support local restaurants. For sure.
I've thought about it, and you're right, Brigitte. I've changed the headline.
Support local…if local is worth supporting.
I am sorry but if the local establishment is dirty, gross,unclean….why would I support it.
Where is Jerk Box located?

Wayne Bingham brought an early-1980s Colnago to the Classic Rendezvous Weekend that featured many Colnago-engraved components, including a very special brakeset.
Wayne Bingham, renowned bicycle collector and owner of vintage bicycle emporium Velo Classique, brought a trio of Italian bicycles with him to the Classic Rendezvous Weekend that each featured brakesets manufactured by Modolo, but branded with the names of other component manufacturers.
Modolo first introduced their brake levers in 1952, and during the 1970s and 1980s their brakesets were often the first alternative component on otherwise full Campagnolo-equipped bikes. Modolo's first full brakeset, the Professional, came out in 1976. In 1983, their top-of-the-line model, the Master Pro, was introduced and it came in several different colors and featured Modolo's "sinterized" brake pads that had a compound in them to increase stopping power in wet conditions.
The Italian company also did a good business as a contract builder for other manufacturers, including, notably, French component brand Mavic, who used Modolo-built brakesets in their component groups for many years. Later in the 1990s, after Mavic switched to Dia-Compe for their brake supplier, Modolo produced brakesets and calipers for German company Sachs, who featured them in their popular New Success groupset.
After the mid-1990s, Modolo focused exclusively on their bar and stem components, along with their Morphos "brifter" levers that feature multiple cogset and derailleur manufacturer compatibility. Today, these products comprise Modolo's offerings along with a recently-introduced line of bags.
The green and silver early 1980s Colnago that Bingham displayed featured a number of Colnago-branded components on it, including the headset, bar and stem, seatpost, chainrings and a special Modolo brakeset with "Colnago Ernesto" engraved on the calipers. Most of the Colnago-branded components were made by either Campagnolo or Cinelli, but the special "Ernesto" calipers have a special story behind them, as Bingham explained.
"In the late 1990s, after I'd bought Mel Pinto Imports, I was going through stock in the warehouse, and came across these Modolo brakes with "Colnago Ernesto" engraved on the caliper arms, and accompanied by a personalized note from Ernesto to Mel," he said. Pinto was a long-time importer of several European brands in the U.S., including Modolo, and he knew many of the big names in the bicycle industry very well.
Using the unique, one-off brakeset as a foundation, Bingham assembled a full ensemble of other Colnago-branded components to create this aesthetic masterpiece.
An eyeful of cloverleaves from every angle!

Schwab: Can't have good government? Have a good laugh
White House and other D.C. comedy writers are keeping us chortling, dark and ironic as it is.
Saturday, November 9, 2019 1:30am
OpinionColumnist
By Sid Schwab / Herald columnist
As defending his Ukraine extortion gets increasingly desperate for Trump and his excusers, who'd be calling for imprisonment were it anyone else, it's time for some levity. Everyone needs a good laugh, especially those trying to defend the indefensible. It's gotta be dispiriting.
Remember that big, beautiful, Mexico-funded wall, the money for which Trump diverted from veterans' benefits, military-base schools and more than a hundred other Pentagon projects? Remember how he ballyhooed the design, declaring it'd be impenetrable? Well, how 'bout that professional climber who free-climbed it in 27 seconds; or the 8-year-old girl who did it in a minute? Even a Trump supporter topped it, using suction cups. One hopes Trumpists got a cleansing laugh out of that.
Heard the one about smugglers using battery-powered, readily-available saws to butter through those beautiful slats, and, because the slats are so tall, bending them easily after a single cut, allowing passage? (It's physics!) Did Trump think they'd need miles-long extension cords? What a kidder!
For more grins, observe the flailing contortions of Trump's defenders as they pirouette around damning testimony. First it was a "perfect" phone call. Then there was a friendly request but no quid pro quo, because if there had been, well, that'd be bad. Then, OK, there might have been something quid-like and quo-ish, but not very much. And now it's, yeah, well, obviously, there was a quid pro quo, but let's not, you know, call it anything like a shakedown. For one thing, he didn't have evil in his heart.
Yep, one of Trump's most comedic senatorial excusers, John Kennedy (ironic, huh?), actually said, "Did the president have a culpable state of mind? … Based on the evidence that I see, … the president does not have a culpable state of mind." Get it? He said "does not have," not "didn't." To have any state of mind, a functioning one is required. Slipped that little joke right on by. Who says Trumpists are humorless?
"Culpable state of mind." The creativity is impressive, if gelastic. While extorting a foreign leader into smearing political opponents, no one would have that, right, whatever it is. If a Republican senator says someone's state of mind isn't "culpable," game over. Because those guys are curators of the mind. Heck, Lick-boot Lindsey says he doesn't even need to read the evidence, because he knows "it's b.s." That's powerful mind-grok.
So, sure, the "president" attempted extortion, perverting foreign policy and using taxpayer money, but lacked the requisite thoughts when doing so. Besides, according to a just-passing-through attorney general, abuse of power isn't a crime. True enough: Everyone kept their wallets. Classic comedy, that. Then Gordon Sondland, ambassador to the European Union, recanted his lies, choosing truth over Trump. First in a sitcom series?
If tears of laughter aren't yet streaming, check out Trump's spawn appearing on Fox "news," criticizing Hunter Biden for making money off the Biden family name, declaring their disgust at political nepotism, deadpan as Buster Keaton, self-aware as stone. Ivanka, Jared, Lara, Ben Carson Jr., Candy Carson, John Pence, Kyle Yunaska; good one, guys.
Another: Trump finalized reneging on the Paris climate accords just as scientists warned of impending "untold human suffering." And handing the world's economy to China? Priceless. Talk about comic timing! In China, they're still laughing. (Washington Post: tinyurl.com/joke2asia)
For another knee-slapper, get a load of Trump's mobsters ignoring Congressional requests to testify. Ponder that preposterous piece of parchment providing protection from presidential perfidy. Who claims, with a straight face, it applies to Republicans? And who doesn't get the joke as they demand legally-protected whistleblowers appear in person, while going all Marceau over those Trumpic refuseniks? Plans to sabotage the public hearings they've been demanding? A million laughs. Magnificent mummery, Republicans saying they're the law-and-order party. Comedy pyrite. Like Trump bribing impeachment-jury senators with campaign money and pressuring William Barr to prostitute himself again. Hilarious. Did coffee just come out your nose?
Stop me if you've heard this: Trump is considering reading an incomplete "transcript" that isn't one. Selling "Read the Transcript" T-shirts to his gullibles. We'll have even more gut-busting giggles when his accountants, under court order, release his tax returns.
Finally, if your sides aren't already splitting, there's that photo of a gag of millionaire evangelical preachers blessing Trump. Now THAT is high-level humor. Not a godly person in the room. Stop! Yer killing us!
They say laughter is the best medicine. With Trump in office, it's amazing anyone gets sick.
