On one hand, compartmentation, or the division of spaces through fire-rated building materials, is critical to slowing or stopping the spread of flames and smoke in a fire event. On the other, the opaque forms of standard fire-rated building materials, like concrete and gypsum, limit light transfer and views. This is problematic in modern building design as numerous studies underscore the positive link between access to natural light and improved occupant well-being.
To help resolve this dilemma, project teams are increasingly turning to fire-rated glazing in commercial building design. Combining a transparent form with the ability to withstand temperatures up to 870 C (1600 F) or greater, it is uniquely positioned to bring fire safety in line with the daylighting design intent.
Depending on the selected product, building design teams can use fire-rated glazing to comply with codes and standards and maintain fire ratings from 20 to 180 minutes. As such, it is possible to employ the material to bring daylight deep into interior spaces formerly restricted by concrete or gypsum. Common applications include those in and around evacuation pathways, including stairwells, doors, entrances, corridors, atriums, and lobby walls—all of which benefit greatly from enhanced light transfer.
Today's fire-rated glazing products are virtually clear, wireless, and able to provide the same defence against fire as traditional fire-rated materials. Current offerings provide fire protection (defence against flames and smoke) or fire resistance (defence against flames, smoke, and radiant and conductive heat transfer).
CAN/ULC S106,Standard Method for Fire Tests of Window and Glass Block Assemblies.
In KMK Place, an office building in St. John's, large spans of fire-rated glazing separate the main structure from a glass atrium, preserving daylight and views for occupants inside.
Such glass is suitable for use in opening-protective applications, including transoms, borrowed lites, and doors. Fire-protective glass can also enhance safety and security as it offers greater visibility for people entering and exiting rooms.
UL 263, Fire Tests of Building Construction and Materials.
Glass products meeting these criteria keep radiant and conductive heat transfer at bay for the duration of their fire rating. Therefore, they can exceed the traditional size parameters of fire-protective openings, making them suitable for use in locations where the total glazing area exceeds 25 per cent of the wall. This greatly enhances daylighting design freedom. For example, instead of being limited to smaller windows, borrowed lites, and small view panes in doors, building teams can now have large expanses of glass meeting some of the most stringent fire-rated building codes.
Additionally, manufacturers now offer integrated fire-resistive glass and framing systems.
The term 'fire-rated glazing systems' refers to the fire-rated glass and frames designed and tested to work together as a cohesive unit, rather than individual components. They not only simplify specification, but also are suited to meet daylighting needs.
Fire-rated glass curtain walls are one of today's more common system solutions, providing a substantial area of glazing for interior or exterior applications with fire-rated criteria. One system achieves its multifunctionality by using fire-resistive frames (steel is usually the primary framing material) that are anchored to the structure of the building using common means such as clips, angles, or plates. The fire-resistive glass in the curtain wall system is then typically held in place with a pressure plate. The plate creates the necessary pressure between individual lites of glass, the framing, and glazing gaskets. This is critical to maximize air and water penetration resistance through the wall. It is also important to note the pressure plate fasteners are hidden under a finished cover to suit the desired appearance.
Given the success of fire-rated glass curtain wall systems, a growing number of manufacturers are now adding to their system solution lineup. Here is a look at three recent market introductions and the daylighting benefits they provide.

I'm ready to purchase my IFSA membership.
Coaches, juniors, and FWQ adult athletes must purchase an annual IFSA/FWQ Membership to compete in sanctioned events in North and South America. Once a member, you can sign up for events with your username and password. As you compete, you'll rack up points against riders within your division.
IF YOU ARE A JUNIOR...(FWQ Athletes scroll down lower)
In which age division do I belong?
Athletes who are 18 years of age can compete in FWQ Adult/Collegiate Series events OR continue to compete in the Junior Series. However, once an athlete competes in an Adult FWQ event or turns 19 years of age, they can no longer compete on the Junior Series.
IFSA Junior Athletes are broken down into three divisions:
12-14 year olds
Athletes competing in the Junior Series will compete in the age category that relates to their age as of December 31 leading up to that competition season.
Athletes cannot advance a division, even if their birthday is mid-season.
Athletes 11 years of age or younger on or prior to December 31st are eligible only for the U12 age category.
Athletes 12-14 years of age on or prior to December 31st are eligible only for the 12-14 age category.
Athletes 15-18 years or age or older on December 31st are eligible only for the 15-18 age category.
Take a look at our IFSA Junior Regional map below. Your geographic region is determined by the location of the states where you will be competing most often. This designation dictates how the points for your Regional Series finishes are calculated.
Eastern: Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, and New York
Rocky Mountain: Colorado and New Mexico
Intermountain: Idaho, Utah
Northern: Montana, Wyoming
Far West: California, Nevada
Pacific Northwest: Oregon, Washington, Alaska, (and Sandpoint + Schweitzer Mountain Resort, ID)
Canada: Alberta, British Columbia, Ontario, Quebec
South America: Chile, Argentina
NOTE: Teams and athletes out of Sandpoint, ID and Schweitzer Mountain Resort have been assigned to the Pacific Northwest geographic region rather than the Intermountain geographic region. The Schweitzer Mountain Junior Regional 2* will be considered a Pacific Northwest Regional Series event.
JUNIORS: Join A Big Mountain Team Or Club if Possible
As a Junior competitor, joining a big mountain team or club will teach you how to safely participate in Freeride while providing you with invaluable mountain sense, heightened decision making skills, and a supportive community that shares your love for Freeride. You will also benefit from learning alongside riders that will be competing at your level. Joining a Freeride team provides valuable insight pertaining to line choice, IFSA judging methodology, and how to succeed in Freeride.
BROWSE LOCAL TEAMS - CLICK HERE
JUNIORS: If You Can't Join a Team, Register as an IFSA Independent
If joining a team as a Junior isn't feasible or there isn't one in your area, that's OK; simply sign up as "IFSA Independent" when registering. We encourage independent athletes and parents to proactively seek information about freeride safety and judging protocol. This information will help athletes make sound line choices with safety as a priority in competition and practice. For more info, click here.
JUNIORS: Sign Up For Events
Once you have an active IFSA membership, you can begin earning points by competing in events. Athletes under 18 years of age will compete as Juniors, those older than 18 will compete in our Adult FWQ Series. Register for IFSA events through the The Driven platform. Information about registration times and links to The Driven registration pages can always be found on our event pages. Upon purchasing a membership, you will be added to our email list to receive updates about registration dates, important deadlines, community announcements, etc. Please also follow us on Instagram and Facebook for important updates.
Your points and rankings from the previous season will determine if you are extended a Pre-Qualified invitations to register for our 13 Junior National Series events. Registration for Nationals Series events always takes place in early-mid December. Registration for Regional Series events typically opens 6 weeks prior to the event date and runs first come, first served. (For more information, please see the IFSA Junior Handbook).
Each season, in mid-March, the top ranked juniors will receive an invitation to the North American Championships (NorAm Champs). The IFSA also provides a championship event specifically for our U-12 athletes and limited registration is rolled out on a first come, first served basis.
NOTE: The demand for competitive IFSA junior events is incredibly high. We are struggling to add new events to match the explosive growth of our junior community.
Event registration often sells out on the same date (or hour) that registration opens. We HIGHLY recommend reading our emails and making note of the dates and times that registration opens to increase the likelihood that you gain entry to the events of your choice. Purchase your IFSA membership well before event registration opens and have your login information handy. For more information on registration for junior events, please click here.
IF YOU ARE AN FWQ ADULT ATHLETE...
If you are new to Freeride, you'll need to earn points to establish a ranking on the FWQ Global Seed List. Invitations to FWQ 2*, 3* and 4* events in Region 2 are dictated by your Global Seed List ranking, sometimes refered to as your 52-week ranking. Registration priority is given to ranked athletes in the order in which they are ranked. Once the ranked athletes who have applied either accept or decline, invitations to unranked riders are extended in the order in which they have registered. Earn points while competing, and your 3 best scores in a 365 day period will be used to calculate your seed ranking. In Region 2, 6 top tier athletes will receive an invitation to compete as an athlete on the Freeride World Tour for a shot at earning the Freeride World Tour Championship title.
For more information on rankings and registration, please see the Region 2 FWQ Handbook.
If You Are A Full-Time College Student…
If you are a full-time college student affiliated with a registered IFSA Collegiate team, you will compete in the same FWQ events as any other FWQ athlete. With an FWQ Collegiate License you can attend events, rack up points towards your world ranking, qualify for the Freeride World Tour, and also earns points toward your member school's ranking. The university with the greatest points at the end of the season is crowned the Champion of the Collegiate Freeride Tour.
Check our listing of Collegiate Freeride teams.
When you go to purchase your IFSA FWQ Membership license, be sure to select: FWQ Collegiate Tour and select your institution from the dropdown menu.
If you would like to register your university with the IFSA to compete for the Collegiate Championship Title, please contact This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
On Adult FWQ Rankings: What is the Global Seeding List?
The Global Seeding List (also called the 52-Week Seed List) is designed to ensure a high level of competition at FWQ 4* events while providing registration priority to athletes with prior competition experience. The seed list ranks every athlete according to their top 3 finishes within a 52-week period. The seed list provides registration priority to competitors who have accrued more points and experience. The more points a competitor has, the easier it is for them to attend 4* events. Freeride World Tour finishes earn the most points, followed by FWQ 4*, 3*, and 2* events. For more information, please see the FWQ Region 2 Handbook.
NOTE: If you are an unranked athlete, you should not rely on admittance to 4* events, you are much more likely to recieve admittance to a 2* event.
JUNIORS & ADULTS
How Is My Competition Run Judged?
Rankings are segmented by divisions (snowboarding and skiing) as well as gender (male and female. Further the Junior Series is divided into age categories (U12, 12-14 and 15-18). Upon entering Freeride competitions, you earn points based on your performance. The type of event will also dictate the amount of points earned. Junior National events award more points than Junior Regional events. For adults, FWQ 4* events earn more points than 3* or 2* events.

IFSA wants to remind all our riders and athletes that the sport of Freeride is subjective. We strive to promote a fun and creative environment where athletes are comfortable pushing themselves safely and responsibly. We want to see athletes both having fun, skiing with soul, and most importantly, riding in control and within their ability.
Our Expert Judges Score Your Performance On 5 Criteria
Line Choice: Higher scores are awarded to athletes choosing more difficult routes. Difficulty is determined by steepness, exposure, air, drops, snow, and course conditions.
Control: Competitors must remain in control at all times; loss in control will result in a lower score. Skillful recoveries will reduce penalties.
Fluidity: Constant direction towards a goal. This includes continuity, pace, and smooth transitions between sections of the course. Falling or stopping can have a negative impact.
Technique: Competitors are judged on style and turn quality relating to big mountain Freeriding.
Style & Energy: This encompasses the pace, energy and creativity with which a competitor attacks or descends his/her chosen line or route. Style focuses on execution of maneuvers.
Judges score rider between a 0-10 scale in each category. Each category score is added together to get the athlete's total score for the run. To see more detailed information please visit our Athlete Handbook section.
The Main Focus of the IFSA is Safety and Fun in Freeride
We recommend the following gear list and toolkit for all of our athletes to minimize risk and potential injury.
Back protection/ body armor
Backpack with sturdy avalanche shovel and probe
Avalanche transceiver

Posted on November 15, 2021 by J.J. Sefton
The Morning Report 11/15/21
Good morning, kids. The start of a new week and up front, the fate of Kyle Rittenhouse, on trial for the heinous crime of defending himself with a firearm from having his life mostly peacefully snuffed out by white dopes on punk, who have now been elevated to the status of honorary negroids because the race card must be played. Remember that despite all the players here being white, the rioting in Kenosha was to protest the death of a black man. . . 400 miles away in Minneapolis. (yes, I did overlook the incident with Jacob Blake but that would've been a nothing-burger without George Floyd)
As commenter "…" (elipsis) said "The Democrat Party is white everywhere you look but constantly hiding behind black people. It's political blackface." With the prosecution's case collapsing faster than a soused Hillary Clinton at a 9/11 memorial service, this calculus in the media was totally predictable. That was before Friday, but I digress.
Some people will look at what's going on here and of course to the events that led here and think America has devolved into a lawless society. If that were the case, to paraphrase a certain Mr. Manson, the actions of Kyle Rittenhouse would be "no more important than eating an ice cream cone." That's pregnant with meaning considering a Joe named Brandon who evidently consumes it on an hourly basis these days (one scoop each of Ben & Jerry's Broken Cherry Garcia and Rachel Corries 'n Cream).
If we were a "lawless society," human nature being what it is dictates that what happened in Kenosha and half a hundred other urban areas would have happened perhaps dozens of times given the events that occurred in the wake of the unfortunate yet sadly inevitable demise of George Floyd. Meh, the mostly peaceful rioting would likely not have happened because the presence of "rooftop Koreans" would have prevented it in the first place. And George Floyd might be alive right now since even with a perpetual crystal-meth-induced haze he'd have thought twice about pushing the queer in a store that might have an armed shopkeeper. But, that's not lawlessness. It is, as stated, human nature filling a void and doing its thing, as it has done now since Moonwatcher and his companions defended their turf somewhere in Olduvai Gorge 3 million years ago and the bone he tossed in the air morphed into an anti-sat weapon in low earth orbit.
No, America is not a lawless society at all. Mostly because American society as founded and as many of us grew up in, ceased to be as of last January 6th. But there are laws, alright, and you better believe they are being enforced mercilessly. Look at people from Donald Trump to David Daleiden to James O'Keefe to parents that are anti-CRT/vaccine/transexual rapists, to Boyd Camper and his fellow J6 political prisoners in the Garland Archipelago, to the Wyoming farmer fined $37,000 a day (where were the Cheneys?) to Ashli Babbitt, and so many others. The entire criminal justice system has been weaponized to absolutely crush any and all dissent while an unelected and unaccountable bureaucracy issues edicts that have the force of law which you will obey, or be punished. If they can rig and steal elections like they did in 2020, they can sure as hell rig judges and juries, as they did with Derek Chauvin, and given the bizarre turn of events on Friday with the special delivery from "the evidence fairy" seem poised to do with Kyle Rittenhouse.
The corporate media is shifting narratives about the Kyle Rittenhouse case because his self-defense claim is bulletproof. They want to erase the long-understood obligation for all able-bodied citizens to come to the defense of their community when the normal authorities are unwilling or unable to do so.
The constitutionally sound principle that allows and expects this is the left's most-abused part of the Second Amendment, the "well-regulated militia." This is the false premise being pushed by many historically ignorant moral scolds.
"Do we want a society in which political conflict is settled on the streets between people with guns? One in which everyone is armed and can therefore view the other people armed as a plausible threat?" MSNBC's Chris Hayes wrote on Twitter. "Is that the society we want?" It's tempting to answer with the online meme, "Your terms are acceptable". . .
. . . There is plenty of case law about this, but essentially it consists of able-bodied citizens who are available to help with the defense of the country. This can include actions against foreign enemies presenting a threat inside our borders, but it also includes cases of internal unrest or natural disaster. . .
. . . citizens are very likely to be the only force capable of responding in defense of the common peace and lawful order, at least for a short time. In the recent crisis, however, we have seen several occasions when the police vanished from afflicted areas of cities for a whole night or longer. Citizens who are left to themselves by a failure of state and local power have every right to defend the common peace and lawful order against those who would destroy it. . .
. . . This is exactly what happened in Kenosha. The authorities there ordered the police to abdicate their responsibility to protect and serve the law-abiding citizens. They abandoned the community to a violent mob. When local folks, including Kyle, who worked there and lived nearby, rose up to defend their lives and livelihood, they were acting entirely in accordance with the constitutional concept of the militia. . .
. . . The prosecution in the Rittenhouse case has even attacked Rittenhouse's right to defend himself in the face of obvious deadly threats. They asked why a man who threatened to kill you and then tried to take your weapon away was a danger, why being hit over the head with a skateboard warranted a response, and what possible harm could present from a guy with a pistol pointed at your head six feet away. It takes a strong aversion to the idea of self-defense to make those absurd arguments — and yet. . .
. . . The obscene part is that the charges of capital murder brought against him were entirely politically motivated to appease the very mob he and the others were defending against. But his fate now rests in the hands of a group of citizens who were also at risk from that same mob during the riots, just like Kyle.
The author seems confident that Rittenhouse will be acquitted but it's not clear if he wrote this very well done essay before the judge allowed the computer-corrected picture allegedly showing Rittenhouse "threatening" his would be assassins. More importantly, the fact that these jurors' identities are more than likely known by the armed militant wing of the Democrat Party – Antifa/BLM – makes an acquittal that much more problematic to say the least.
The Rittenhouse show trial – and that is exactly what this is since from the moment we saw the video evidence as well as the numerous eyewitness accounts we knew it was self-defense – is meant as a warning for anyone and everyone who dares oppose this regime. Make no mistake; the rioting and looting of last year were fully sanctioned by the Democrat Party as both voter intimidation and with the inevitable actions of someone like Rittenhouse to be used as a pretext to disarm the citizenry. Remember, the lowlife Antifa scum are heroic, peaceful demonstrators in support of justice and civil rights. Anyone who opposes them is an evil white supremacist oppressor and so must be severely punished "to preserve our precious democracy" (spit). And since the prime threat to "our precious democracy" (spit) is not the Chi-Coms, Russians, Iranians or the "Religion of Peace" but anyone who wants to return to the days of white supremacy and slavery, since the US Constitution itself is a sham and a lie that was written by the latter to oppress colored people of color, then the right to keep and bear arms is a negative right that must be abolished if we are to achieve true social justice. Shit, I can be a speech writer for Titty Caca and dress up in a "tax the rich" ballgown. Winning.
Seriously, this is topsy turvy world. I'm to the point where if Rittenhouse is railroaded, I'd say bust him out of jail and smuggle him to Brazil. If that skank murdering filth Joanne Chesimard can flee to Cuba and be hailed as a freedom fighter, we surely can protect our own. Frankly, I'm kind of shocked that her namesake godson Chesa Boudin is facing a recall election in Frisco. I would have thought that given the fact that with an eco-terrorist running the BLM (no, not that BLM, the other BLM) and a Mongoloid skell with the "economics" degree from Patrice Lumumba University may be running our banking system, that Chesimard, aka Assata Shakur, has still to be given a full pardon, returned to the US as a hero and given a cabinet position in the newly formed Department of Peace, alongside Mumia Abul Jamal.
I guess that that's what "President" Harris will do when she's sworn in.

When you hear the words Orange County California, you probably think of MTV's show The Hills and Fox's The O.C. When you think of places to go within Orange Country one big one probably comes to mind – Disneyland. While it is a fabulous place to go (and I might frequent it a bit), there is a far more to Orange County than Mickey Mouse.
There are so many amazing hikes in the Southern California hills. Potato Chip Rock is a very well-known and popular location given its "Instagrammable" stopping point, but this isn't really toddler-friendly (but it is dog-friendly so long as you keep them on a leash). If you are looking for a hike to do with tots, Top of the World has a park with awesome playground equipment nearby (it is officially called Alta Laguna Park, but locals often refer to it as Top of the World Park). There is ample parking here, and the trailhead for the West Ridge Trail opens here. If you are bringing toddlers on the hike, it is recommended to utilize a baby carrier for hiking. There are beautiful views of the coastline that will stun you with your beauty here.
The outdoors rule. The weather can get gray and a little cold (if you consider the 50s cold), but with all this beautiful weather, it is natural to get outside and explore. Parks abound in the OC. If you are near Camp Pendleton, a favorite park is Courtney's Sand Castle. It is a vast park of playgrounds, interactive pathways and a water feature that will entertain infants to adults, and it accessible for all, including those in wheelchairs.
On a rare rainy day, or when you are looking for some indoor fun – there are so many options for adventuring with kids in tow. The We Play Loud indoor playground in Lake Forest is a great place to let the little expel energy in a clean kid-friendly environment, while the parental units enjoy a coffee or snack from the café. Another fabulous indoor space is Pretend City Children's Museum. This clean and large open space has so much to offer for kids of all ages. Each unit is reflective of what children need for stimulation to learn all the developmental milestones of childhood while keeping play as the focus. Highly recommended – even when the weather is beach perfect!
There is no shortage of good food in Southern California. Being along the coasts allows for plentiful seafood, and the short commute to farms allows for farm to table produce. A hidden gem within the OC is The Hive. Just off the PCH and nestled near the Ritz, this local gem offers a menu of non-dairy and sugar-free options of popsicles that are just delicious. The staff are sweet, and the chocolate is tasty. They also feature local artisans – when we visited there was a whole host of bracelets and jewelry. Local shops supporting local artists – what a better place to purchase an item to remember your trip or to send to a friend as a representation of quintessential SoCal.
If you are looking for a delicious cup of joe, wonderful staff and (the parent perk!) a drive-thru to pick up said item, then look no further than Zebra House Coffee. The lavender latte is my go-to. The owner recommended the Chipotle Mayo on an Egg Sammy, and haven't gone back to without mayo since!
Being on the coastline, there are so many beaches to choose from. Thanks to the advocacy of groups like Surfrider, these beaches will be protected from development allowing access for all to enjoy. One of the best surf locations in Orange is Trestles, named for its location along the train trestles. Because it is a well-known surf location, it is often forgotten as a place to go to enjoy the beach. The southernmost portion is rocky and not for beach going, but the further north you go toward the San Clemente Pier, the sandier it becomes. It is beautiful and less crowded than any other SoCal beach on a summers day.
While Victoria Beach is listed under beaches on the California website, it does take a hike to get to it – and it is totally worth it. This hidden "Pirate Castle" dating to the 1920s is a sight to behold when you reach it and is well worth the hike through the rocks to get there. If you go in the winter months, this hike is very rocky – even on the beach but is filled back with sand throughout the rest of the year. Parking here is not easy – so it is best to get there early in the day to find street parking.
There is so much to offer in Orange County. Whether you live at the south, north or west part of Camp Pendleton – there is a bevy to explore, so you can't go wrong! The above are few favorites that are sure to please visitors and locals alike.

Q: how can i remove space between ^I and letters how can i remove space between ^I and letters?
I do not understand. how can i remove space between ^I and letters?
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main()
{
    char c;
    int z = 1;
    char ll = '\t';
    char cur = '\0';

    FILE* file = fopen("2.txt", "r");
    while ((c = getc(file)) != EOF) {
        if (c == ll)
            printf("^I");
        putc(c, stdout);
    }
    fclose(file);
    return 0;
}

OUTPUT:
 ^I     В случае успеха,
 ^I     функция возвращает указатель ^I на string.
 Если конец.
 файла был достигнут и ни один символ

не был прочитан, содержимое string остается
неизменными и возвращается нулевой указатель.

Если происходит ошибка, возвращается нулевой.

A: If I understand your code correctly, you want to replace '\t' with '^I'.
The problem you have is that you insert '^I' if the character is a tabulation, but still print it. You need to print the character that have been read only if it is not a tabulation, like so :
if (c == ll)
    printf("^I");
else
  putc(c, stdout);

Also, EOF is an integer type, you need you variable c to be an int

Playboy Set to Release an Issue Shot Entirely by Terry Richardson
Kate Dries
While some commercial and editorial clients are distancing themselves from Terry Richardson, others are celebrating their relationship with the photographer-slash-sexual harasser. Playboy magazine plans to release a 100-page special issue shot by their "great partner" Richardson called California Dreamin' in February of next year. (Images NSFW.)
Aldo Shoes Kicks Terry Richardson to the Curb
Terry Richardson has shot nine ad campaigns for Aldo Shoes since 2010; the Canadian company with a…
On Friday, Richardson teased a tease of the spread in Playboy's July/August 2014 issue on his blog, which says it's supposed to come out in September. When asked for details about the issue, a spokeswoman emailed Jezebel the following:
Yes, Terry has shot for the magazine many times over the years, and has been a great partner. His latest collaboration with Playboy is a 100-page special edition of the magazine titled California Dreamin' in which he photographed four Playmates in a variety of iconic California locations from Joshua Tree to the Chateau Marmont. This special edition is actually set to hit newsstands around Valentine's Day 2015. Playboy's July/August 2014 issue (on newsstands now) features a 6-page preview of California Dreamin', and the magazine plans to run additional previews of California Dreamin' in its December 2014 and January/February 2015 issues.
When asked why the issue would no longer be released in September, the spokeswoman said that the production schedule had changed. "We are releasing our annual Playmate calendar in September, and have a few additional projects in the pipeline which are scheduled for release around the same time. Instead of competing with ourselves on the newsstands, we decided to push publication of California Dreamin' to early 2015."
A request for comment about the choice to pursue this partnership with Richardson at this particular moment – especially given the recent decisions by some of Richardson's clients not to work with him – was not answered.
Playboy has worked with Richardson before; he most recently shot the 2014 Diesel calendar that came with their Kate Moss 60th anniversary issue, posting behind the scenes photos of their offices on his blog from that shoot last August. He was also responsible for a 2009 cover of the magazine.
I Truly Read It For The Articles: On Playboy's 60th Anniversary Issue
Playboy magazine's 60th anniversary issue – you know, that one with Kate Moss on the cover –…
In a blurb in the July/August issue, Richardson is described as a "legendary fashion photographer":
Terry Richardson has photographed hundreds of the world's most beautiful women (Kate Upton, Rihanna and Miley Cyrus among them). And now you can add Playmates Audrey Aleen Allen, Alyssa Arce, Pamela Horton and Jaclyn Swedberg to that lovely list. Here's an exclusive preview of our upcoming special edition of California Dreamin', in which we turn Richardson and the Playmates loose in iconic southern California locations, from Joshua Tree to the Chateau Marmont. The results are by turns sub-dappled, sassy, langurous and, most of all, revealing in the very best way. Look for the complete 100-page special edition on newsstands in all its dreamy glory starting September 2.
Allen has posted shots of the photos on her Instagram and Twitter accounts and Richardson put nude photos of Arce on his blog in October after he worked with her for the French men's magazine Lui. "Love this shot from @terryrichardsonstudio," Arce wrote about a close-up of her tongue from that issue with the words "Alyssa Par Terry Richardson" (Alyssa by Terry Richardson) pasted across it.

Cimafunk is a cimarrón (fugitive slaves who settled in the wild to lead a free life in Cuba), a free being defying classification, a pilgrim in search of new musical miscegenation and the reunion of black music. He believes in nothing but the power of the Groove and the cathartic communion of dancing bodies. A renaissance man, conscious of his roots and musical ancestry, Cimafunk's music looks firmly into the future.
Singer, composer and producer, Cimafunk offers a subtle and bold mix of funk with Cuban music and African rhythms, a life-affirming sound, a UFO in the island's music scene.
His debut album "Terapia" (Independent Production, 2017) and especially his electric live shows are inexorably conquering a multitude of audiences from Havana to Paris. He broke attendance records in iconic venues such as the Fabrica de Arte Cubano, El Sauce and La Tropical.
Cimafunk is the winner of the Havana World Music Festival "Primera Base" Contest. In 2018, he was awarded the Cuerda Viva Awards (category "New Artist") and his videoclip for "Me Voy" was elected Most Popular Video of the Year for the Cuban Lucas Awards.
Subgenre: Caribbean
From: Havana, CUBA

Michael says he won't join Jackson 5 reunion
Michael Jackson denied on Thursday that he would take part in a reunion of the Jackson 5, a day after elder brother Jermaine said the faded pop star was on board.

A reunion of the Jackson 5 is not quite as easy as "ABC."
Michael Jackson denied on Thursday that he would take part in a reunion of the famed Motown singing group, a day after elder brother Jermaine said the faded pop star was on board.
"My brothers and sisters have my full love and support, and we've certainly shared many great experiences, but at this time I have no plans to record or tour with them," the self-proclaimed "king of pop" said a statement.
Jackson, 50, said he was in the studio working on "new and exciting projects."
But Jermaine Jackson, 53, said in Australia on Wednesday that the clan was working on the music and logistics for a tour next year.
"It is going to be more like a family affair," he was quoted as saying by the Australian Associated Press. "(Younger sister) Janet's going to open and, of course, the original Jackson 5 ... Michael, Randy and the whole family. ... We're in the studio, we're planning on being out there next year."
Michael Jackson has not encouraged reunion talk. He did not show up with his brothers to collect a lifetime achievement award in Los Angeles in September.
The Jackson 5, whose lineup is rounded out by Jackie, 57, Tito, 55, and Marlon, 51, as well as unofficial member Randy, 47, rose to fame in the early 1970s with such singles as "I Want You Back," "ABC" and "I'll Be There." The group last toured in 1984, by which time Michael Jackson was a huge star in his own right.
His statement was credited to a spokesperson dubbed "Dr. Tohme." The publicity firm that distributed the statement declined to elaborate on the person's identity.

Trump to allow U.S. companies to sell some parts to Huawei

President Trump, as part of a broader pause in tensions with China, said Sunday that U.S. companies can continue to sell parts to embattled telecom firm Huawei, provided there are no national security concerns specific to those products.
Why it matters: While many of the concerns were around Huawei's networking business, U.S. sanctions were also threatening the viability of the company's smartphone business too, given its reliance on chips and software from the U.S.
Between the lines: It's not clear just how much a reprieve Trump is granting, nor how long it will last. A White House official said Sunday that the exemption will cover only widely available goods.
What they're saying:
Sen. Mark Warner said he wants to see the details "but we need to remember that Huawei represents a threat to our national security. Allowing Huawei to participate in building our next generation communications networks should be unacceptable for everyone. If the President's deal goes too far, Congress would certainly act to reverse it."
Sen. Lindsey Graham, on "Meet the Press," said: "There will be a lot of pushback if it is a major concession," to Huawei.
Our thought bubble: Conflating a trade dispute and national security concerns is a dangerous game.

E-commerce based businesses have been on the rise for past many years. In fact, they are outdoing physical businesses for most part. According to one research that ask buyers about their shopping preference, 60% buyers responded in favor of online shopping as compared to traditional shopping. There is a strong buzz in market as for development of e-commerce website, as more and more software houses are getting into this business.
Personally as a SEO consultant, it is almost overwhelming to see the number of E-commerce based businesses approaching for search engine optimization. E-commerce industry in Pakistan is relatively new as compared to European, American or Chinese market and people have just started to take interest in E-commerce shopping. As a SEO consultant Pakistan I have been at the receiving end of numerous questions for search engine optimization of E-commerce site. Thus I decided to chalk-out few important considerations for a successful online store.
For all the possible reasons, choosing the right platform is the absolute necessity for any successful E-commerce website. It is simply a compulsion to choose the right platform as per your needs and requirements. Choosing the right platform also depends upon the amount of traffic you assume to be drive at your site.
Today there are various platforms which you can use to build your e-commerce website including: WordPress (the most used), Joomla, Magento, Opencart, osCommerce, Shopify, Zen Cart etc.
Among the listed platforms, WordPress is the most preferred and used e-commerce website platform. It is not only used for blogging purpose, rather it is also effective for portfolio, magazines and e-commerce websites. Today over 140million installations is recorded for WordPress worldwide, not to forget one is every sixth website that accounts for top million websites driven by traffic is built on this versatile platform. These stats simply reflects the popularity and acceptance of WordPress as the preferred website development platform. My personal experience as SEO consultant in Pakistan for WordPress powered e-commerce websites have been tremendous, as I have always found it versatile and adaptable. They can be easily integrated into different themes and plug-ins and are customizable.
Once you have your desired platform sorted out, it's time to focus on e-commerce plug-ins for your website. To put it simply, e-commerce plug-ins help putting in place the shopping store on your website, this include tracking of sales, sales evaluation and most importantly installing payment gateways. There are various e-commerce plug-ins available in market today, but if you asked my preference then as an SEO expert Pakistan I love Woo-commerce.
Woo-commerce is a truly adaptable and easy to integrate e-commerce plug-in that enable shopping cart designing, implementation of checkout process and products' allocation. You can also search out some great extensions and add-ons for Woo-commerce; which are easily available. Most of all, I personally find it easy to work with from SEO point of view.
Now that's something of a love. No matter how efficient and rigorous platform or plug-ins you have incorporated to your e-commerce store, until you have made it SEO friendly, you aren't going anywhere with your sales.
Search Engine Optimization is the heart of all e-commerce businesses and as an SEO consultant I will definitely recommend you to hire services for some SEO expert in Pakistan while in development phase, so as to ensure your website is SEO friendly. Remember, the higher your site's visibility, greater the chance of attracting traffic.
A common misconception that I have seen prevailing in minds of e-commerce businesses in Pakistan is about their casual behavior towards getting the right SEO. There are hundreds of SEO consultants working in industry and as a professional SEO expert I myself advise all people out there to never ignore the importance of SEO friendly website (especially when its about ecommerce website).
Since as long as I have been working as a SEO consultant, one thing that have retained its importance is the content. Remember, back in days we use to hear slogans, "Content is king"? Well, this is true even today and you got to have your website content written in most proficient way, not only to attract traffic but also to rank in search engine ratings.
Make sure you update your website's content on daily basis and make sure your content is written professionally with proper keywords incorporated. This will help you greatly in achieving higher SEO ratings and thus more traffic.

Week 13 (March 26-April 1): Make a list.
The letter-writing idea for the week of March 26-April 1 is a fun letter-writing hack: Make and share a list. It could be a list of things you're doing this summer, places you want to visit, books you want to read, bucket-list items you want to check off, foods you want to try, friends you need to visit, and so on.
That list is all related to the fact that I've been mostly on my back the past two months, waiting for my lower back/SI joint and knee to recover so I could start running again. And running is the best way for me to keep my head on straight and not get super depressed, especially when it's cold and gray out. I've got the blues, or maybe the mean reds, or possibly a mix. February and March are hard, y'all.
By the way, remind me the next time I think I'm having a heart attack that I'm having an anxiety attack, which is a thing that happened three times in March.
Ok, so that particular list is a lame one to send a pen pal.
Describes self as "a gun-toting southerner".
Unironically lists Applebee's as one of his favorite "hot spots".
Says he's "ethically non-monogamous", whateverthefuck that means.
So you can see how lists can be a fun letter-writing hack.
During my most recent anxiety attack, which I'll briefly discuss in a bit more detail in a future post, I made a list of Things That Bring Me Joy to help distract myself while I brought my heart rate back down. I like to think that cats appear on the list multiple times because Rupurrt was rubbing my arm while I was writing it, but maybe I've just paved the way to my future as a crazy cat lady. Either scenario seems equally likely.
Week 1 (January 1-7): Send a Happy New Year's note.
Week 2 (January 8-14): Send a Thank You note.
Week 3 (January 15-21): Send a postcard from your community.
Week 4 (January 22-28): Mail a postcard or letter to another country.
Week 5 (January 29-February 4): Mail a Valentine to a pal.
Week 6 (February 5-11): Mail a minor.
Week 7 (February 12-18): Mail an oldie.
Week 8 (February 19-25): Write a note to a pet.
Week 9 (February 26 – March 4): Clear out clutter.
Week 10 (March 5-11): I see you.
Week 11 (March 12-18): Write a letter to yourself.
Week 12 (March 19-25): Share a memory.

Forrest Firm
March 29, 2019 Uncategorized
Location: Statewide • Year Founded: 2011 • Number of Employees: 45
When real estate paralegal and mother of two Christina McComas decided to leave the large corporate law firm she had been with for 17 years to join Forrest Firm, she admits she was a bit nervous. "It was definitely a leap of faith," she says.
Her new employer was unlike any law firm she had ever worked for. However, after meeting James Forrest, the firm's founder, she knew it was the right decision.
Christina McComas with her children
"Forrest has an entirely different vision for what a law firm can be," McComas says. "I can be there for my children. I'm happy, and I've never looked back."
Forrest Firm is a full-service corporate and business law firm and certified B Corporation with a team of 45 people in eight offices across North Carolina. The firm has been growing consistently and has been recognized for creating a work environment that values the health, well-being, and happiness of their employees as much as it values the needs of their clients.
When Forrest launched the firm in 2011, he had a successful background in corporate law but wanted to build a firm more closely aligned with his values. He started out working from home and kept an eye on overhead costs. As he grew, he attracted entrepreneurial attorneys who— like himself—wanted to work hard and be out meeting people, not necessarily sitting at a desk all day.
Forrest also wanted to create a family-friendly environment in his firm—an approach that is rare in the legal profession. Forrest Firm's unique work-from-anywhere policy for attorneys and the family friendly, flexible approach for staff grew organically from the vision he had for his team.
"I am definitely more productive because of how I can structure my day."
For attorney Leslie P. Lasher, who is pregnant with her second child, the set-up has been ideal. She works several days a week from home and heads into the office when necessary. "The firm offers a truly supportive culture that starts with senior leadership," says Lasher. "Our founder does a great job of modeling work-life balance. He prioritizes time with his family and encourages us to do the same."
Attorneys can structure their days in different ways. For instance, some fence off blocks of time when they're with their family and then pick work back up later in the evening once their children have gone to bed.
"I am definitely more productive because of how I can structure my day," says Lasher. "If my child has a doctor's appointment or a school event, I can be there, and it's not a problem. It's not a secret if we're spending time with our family."
And, perhaps surprisingly for some, clients support the firm's approach. "You're not less of an attorney because you value your family," says Lasher. "Our clients recognize that you can have a very sophisticated law firm that is structured differently. We respond within 24 hours, travel to meet our clients, and focus on their needs."
Lasher has found that if she has an out of office message that lets people know she's with her family on vacation or at an event, they'll inquire. "My clients actually ask. They want to know how the event went or how vacation was," says Lasher. "Our approach is building and fostering a deeper relationship with our clients. I'm not just drafting a contract for them."
Forrest Firm's offices are staffed full-time during regular working hours by office managers and paralegals, and attorneys are free to work or meet clients in one of the firm's offices. To encourage connection, the firm uses cloud-based phone, computer, and chat platforms to communicate, and the full team meets in person from across the state periodically. In addition, a liberal travel policy encourages attorneys to visit other offices and get to know their colleagues across the state.
"It takes courage but it's possible. Don't be afraid to try something different."
"We continue to think about ways to foster a team environment with people working remotely," says Lasher. "For example, we're very purposeful about discussing work and non-work issues via instant messaging to encourage community even if we're not sitting right next to each other."
McComas believes Forrest's approach is an antidote to the physical, mental, and emotional demands that contribute to high turnover in the legal profession. "We all do our best to help the firm," says McComas, "and we don't have to sacrifice our families to do so. There is a lightness—a happiness—in our firm that I haven't experienced elsewhere."
Change is not easy, but Lasher is optimistic. "You have to be brave to create change in an industry that is so steeped in tradition," says Lasher. "It takes courage, but it's possible. Get feedback from your employees on what they like and what they don't. Don't be afraid to try something different."
Sample Benefits at Forrest Firm

Motorcycle club surprises 93-year-old WWII veteran with $20K gift
OREGON CITY, Ore. — At 93 years old, James Walker – better known as Buddy – thinks he's found his forever home.
It's situated on the end of a row of mobile homes at Maple Lane Estates in Oregon City. His home faces a large grassy area and trees; it's just the space he was looking for. He just moved in a month ago, after six years of waiting.
To him, despite the imperfections, it's perfect. He knew he'd have a few repairs to make, but it was nothing the World War II Navy veteran wasn't prepared for.
"The pipes under the house were brass and they were too small, and had to be replaced," Buddy explained.
Buddy joined the Navy in 1943. He was just 17 years old at the time.
"My dad said, 'Buddy you sure you want to do this?' And I said, 'Yes, sir. I'm little but I'm tough, and I know they need me.'"
Two years later, he'd find himself on the shore of Hiroshima, five days before Enola Gay dropped the atomic bomb on the island. He was prepared to die.
"We were going into Japan and [our captain] told us to write home and say goodbye to our families, because we were going to be dead," Buddy said.
The atomic bomb ended up saving his life, and he would survive the war, but he does still carry some trauma from his service. Buddy is disabled and suffers from post traumatic stress disorder.
"We ride with those who can, for those who can't," Ken "Chopper" Klarfeld, the president of the Oregon chapter of the Disabled Veterans Motorcycle Club, said.
The motorcycle club honors veterans and just recently became a 501(c)(3) non-profit.
"We thought, you know what, we could expand this to help other disabled vets," Ken said.
Now, the motorcycle club works to help disabled veterans in a variety of ways, from home repairs to groceries.
By day, Ken is a contractor. That's how he first met Buddy and learned his story.
"I climbed up on the roof and said 'oh my goodness this place needs a roof in the worst way,'" Ken said.
Buddy knew his new home would need some work, but a project this big, one that would cost roughly $20,000 according to Ken, was not something Buddy was anticipating.
Ken decided he would work with roofers and other companies to make sure Buddy doesn't have to pay. The generosity is something that leaves Buddy nearly speechless.
"I never thought a thing like this would be possible," Buddy said.
