Edinburgh's ever-expanding foodie scene is set to become even bigger in the New Year.
As well as brand new arrivals, 2018 also sees the expansion of several well-known Edinburgh bars and restaurants to new locations within the city.
Brazilian restaurant chain, Fazenda, are set to open their first Scottish location in early 2018.
Offering traditional rodizio-style dining (with prime cuts of meat cooked on skewers and brought to the table for an 'all you can eat' experience), the luxurious bar and restaurant will be located on George Street.
Mexican street food eatery, El Cartel, are opening a new restaurant on Teviot Place in the new year, taking over the old premises of Central Takeaway.
The set up will be similar to their popular Thistle Street restaurant, with authentic tacos, antojito bites, frozen margaritas and tequila on the menu.
Currently with two locations in Edinburgh (on Constitution Street in Leith and East Market Street in the city centre), steak restaurant, Chop House, is due to expand with a third venue opening in spring 2018.
The new Bruntsfield restaurant will take over the site of Tribeca, which closed in mid-2017, and will serve up a range of steaks which are butchered and dry-aged in-house.
Following a soft launch at the end of 2017, KIN is set to make its mark on the Edinburgh cocktail scene in 2018.
The speakeasy-style basement bar is the first venture from Buch + Bax – award-winning bartenders Jody Buchan and Sam Baxendale, who have previously worked at top local cocktail bars such as Bramble and The Voyage of Buck.
The bar is located off Broughton Street (beneath Seasons restaurant), and will serve seasonal nibbles from the kitchen there, as well as an innovative and evolving cocktail list.
London-based pizza chain (with over 40 restaurants currently operating in the south of England), Franco Manca, are tipped to open their first Scottish location in Edinburgh in 2018.
Joining several other celebrated London restaurants in St Andrew Square, Franco Manca will be serving up their signature sourdough pizzas in Edinburgh's 'cuisine quarter'.
Details of this new venture are still under wraps, but Roy Brett (chef patron of seafood restaurant, Ondine) is rumoured to be opening a new site in Newhaven.
It's thought the new restaurant will focus on fresh Scottish seafood, serving gourmet fish and chips by the harbour.
The former Royal Bank of Scotland headquarters at St Andrew Square are currently being transformed as part of a £2 million refurbishment.
As well as serviced apartments, shops and offices, the new complex will also be home to a luxury bar and restaurant from Scottish chain, Di Maggio's, who also operate Café Andaluz and Cadiz.
Leith Walk-based taquiera, Bodega, are expanding with a new restaurant in Tollcross in 2018.
Taking over the former site of cafe, Leo & Ted, the restaurant is expected to serve up Bodega's much-loved tacos with fresh Mexican, Asian and American-inspired flavours.
Another well-known Edinburgh restaurant due to move into Bruntsfield in 2018 is The Scran and Scallie.
Although an official announcement is yet to be made, it's thought that Tom Kitchin's team will be opening a new neighbourhood gastropub in the coming months.

Josh Jackson is a Jayhawk

Josh Jackson better set up to succeed than previous KU wings | Tale of the Tait | KUsports.com
It seems to me that whatever lofty expectations are tossed onto the shoulders of the 6-foot-7, 200-pound wing player who likely will fill Selden's role in KU's starting lineup next season, Jackson is in the best position of any KU wing in recent memory to live up to them.
Bill Self wise to continue pursuing one-and-done talents such as Josh Jackson | Smithology | KUsports.com
The argument usually goes something like: Bill Self can't win with these one-and-done college basketball players, so KU should stop pursuing recruits the coaches know will only play one season in Lawrence before moving on to the NBA.

Chinese firms ordered to pay $194,000 to Disney, Pixar over copyright issues
Company - Himanshu Gill - Jan 02,2017
Rating - 5 stars 4 stars 3 stars 2 stars 1 star
stars - based on 21 reviews
A Shanghai court has ordered two Chinese companies to pay a compensation of 1.35 million yuan ($194,000) to Walt Disney Co. and Pixar over charges of intellectual property right infringement and unfair competition.
Disney and Pixar took the two Chinese firms to court charging them for copying parts of their hit movies "Cars" and "Cars 2". It said that the characters, titles and posters from Chinese animation movie "The Autobots", released in July 2015, were substantially similar to those from "Cars" and "Cars 2".
G-Point based in Beijing and Bluemtv from Xiamen in eastern China's Fujian Province are the two companies that have been proved guilty, according to local media reports. The Autobots was produced by Bluemtv and released by G-Point.
The case was first heard in the Shanghai Pudong New District People's Court in June, 2016. The court ruled that The Autobots' characters K1 and K2 were similar to animated cars Lightning McQueen and Francesco Bernoulli that featured in Cars and Cars 2.
The director of The Autobots, Zhuo Jianrong, has condemned the verdict, arguing that he haven't even seen the Disney movies and that cars on the streets also are similar to each other, but that doesn't mean any one is violating the law.
The compensation included one million yuan to cover the economic losses and 350,000 yuan for legal expenses. In the past few years, intellectual property wins for large foreign firms has been slewing due to increasing complaints of widespread copyright infringement in China. In 2016 itself, German carmaker BMW and basketball star Michael Jordan have both won intellectual property cases in China.
Disney is making a major push in its investments in China as it has recently opened a $5.5 billion theme park in Shanghai; the company's first on the mainland. Its animated movies like "Big Hero 6" and "Zootopia" have made large collections at the Chinese box office.

International experts arrive for major transport and climate change event
Sinn Féin Transport Minister Conor Murphy said people must work together to tackle the massive environmental challenge of climate change.
Speaking as he addressed an international conference delegation which included leading world climate change experts who arrived in Belfast today for the first National Travelwise Association (NTWA) Conference to be hosted by the Six Counties, the Minister said:
"Decision-makers in the business, engineering, environment and communications sectors all have an obligation to effectively address issues relating to climate change and transport.
"It is vital that key stakeholders have a clear understanding of the potential impacts and response strategies to climate change. This conference will assist them with the development of environmental protection plans by offering expert advice from respected international authorities."
The two day Conference entitled 'Transport and Climate Change: Understand the Problem, Be Part of the Solution' has been organised by Travelwise NI, a Department for Regional Development (DRD) Roads Service initiative, and examines the global impact of climate change, focusing on how the private and public sectors can react to help build a more sustainable future.
International expert and Canadian academic Dr Barry Wellar from the University of Ottawa, acclaimed for his pioneering work on alternative transportation strategies told the conference: "Society's contributions to the problems of climate change far exceed its contributions to the solution. We are faced with many sustainable transport principles but it is very difficult to find evidence of achieved sustainable transport practices. Therefore, this Belfast forum is an excellent opportunity to put this matter on the public agenda."
Other international speakers at the conference include: Swedish expert Mats Dryselius from "ResSmart" whose exemplary work has assisted in making Stockholm's transport system more efficient and environmentally-friendly, and Simon Barnes, Environment Manager from the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders, who will examine the complex relationships between road transport and climate change, technology and sustainable consumption.
The event is sponsored by Translink, the Department for Transport & Marine, Balfour Beatty Infrastructure Services and Atkins.
The conference will take place in the Europa Hotel, Belfast on Thursday 8 - Friday 9 November 2007.
Other conference speakers include representatives from the Chartered Institute of Environmental Health, BT, Merseytravel, Queens University, DRD Roads Service, London European Partnership for Transport, Improwise, TravelSwitch, Translink, Sustrans and Belfast City Council. There will also be creative workshops.
The NTWA is a partnership made up of Local Government Authorities and other public organisations that work together to promote and encourage sustainable and health travel choices. NTWA aims to reduce society's dependence on the car by raising awareness of the environmental, health, economic and social effects of car use. Today there are over 160 members representing organisations within 11 regional groups. Visit www.travelwise.org.uk
Travelwise NI is an initiative of the Department for Regional Development's Roads Service to promote sustainable transport options such as car-sharing, walking, cycling and public transport.
The 2007 NTWA Conference is a climate neutral event - carbon emissions will be offset with Climate Care.

MY most vivid recollection of the Publisher is when I was trying to climb on his shoulders, at the risk of plunging into the square below, while he was leaning out of an upper window of the Johnson House to see a Zeppelin passing that was dropping bombs. The police were shouting at us, and threatening to raid the house, if we did not go in and turn out the lights. The great airship was slowly sailing overhead, brilliantly illuminated by the flare of the searchlights and the explosion of shells, and as we were a company of twenty-eight in the upper room just under the roof, a chance bomb falling upon the house would, in all probability, have shattered the majority of us.
The Publisher had kindly invited me to be his guest at a supper of the Johnson Club. At supper Mr. Clement Shorter sat on my right, Mr. Augustine Birrell just beyond him, and a group of members of Parliament were sitting around the secretary at the head of the table and opposite to us. After supper a paper was read on the cynicism of Dr. Johnson. Before the discussion began the secretary was asked to look in the dictionary to find the precise definition of a cynic. While he was doing so, a loud explosion was heard outside and near by. I did not recognize the sound; it was very loud, but dull, and did not reverberate: so I turned to Clement Shorter to say that a Zeppelin raid was in progress, when another and nearer explosion confirmed my suspicions; and a remarkable change in Mr. Shorter's complexion and expression made it evident that he also realized the situation. A very pronounced increase in the beat of my heart, and the colour, or the lack of it, of a tall man opposite, who had risen, as most of us were doing, caused me to search for the signs of an emotion of fright: but all that I found was that of an intense feeling of curiosity to see the airship, a curiosity that I had never known before, and which became so powerful, that in the struggle to get up on the Publisher's back—he had been quicker to reach the window than I—I almost precipitated both of us into Gough Square.
"Oh!" we all groaned in varying notes of surprise, alarm, and execration, as the thing passed immediately over us, sailing eastward. It was very high, and soon disappeared, although a little man beside me persisted in saying he could still see it; and when I suggested that he only saw the Pleiades through the thin veil of smoke, he resentfully remarked that it was the Zeppelin, because he had often seen airships manœuvring at night over Lake Constance. The police had now become so insistent, that we reluctantly left the window, and retook our seats at table to discuss "the cynicism of Dr. Johnson."
Birrell, I think, led off, and thirteen others took part in the debate. Half an hour after the raid a visitor would not have discovered in the calm of our procedure that anything unusual had happened. The porch of the Lyceum Theatre had been blown up, a drinking house opposite partly destroyed, and a number of people killed. The Morning Post building was on fire, and all the windows in that part of Fleet Street and the Strand blown out. When we left the Johnson House, at eleven o'clock, I looked up at the constellation of stars which my neighbour at the window took for the retreating Zeppelin, and as he passed me I said, "Do you see the Pleiades?" To which he responded in an aggrieved tone, "Yes, yes." In Fleet Street we walked through what seemed to be masses of broken ice, and stood for a few minutes watching the firemen on ladders against the Morning Post building, putting out the fire. There I left the Publisher, thanking him for his kind and novel entertainment, and proceeded across the bridge to Waterloo Station.
The lights were out, soldiers and others were lying about, and no trains were running. Hurrying to the underground I took a train to Richmond, that was redirected to Ealing on the way, and got down somewhere at 2 a.m. A kind policeman roused up a man from his bed, who drove me in a taxi to The Hermitage, which I reached at three o'clock, to the great relief of my family. This was the first air raid. During the two long years which followed, they were so frequent that they became a commonplace thing to the Publisher and his wife, who, from their windows in Adelphi Terrace, had a free view of the ships and planes that flew up and down the Thames every moonlit night.
The day after the supper in Gough Square I came into London to see the effect of the raid upon the people. The Strand and Fleet Street were densely crowded with sightseers on foot, gaping in wonderment at the havoc that had been made. Less than half a mile away, in Oxford Street, the traffic was going on as usual, and the pavements were crowded with shoppers, who either did not know, or did not care, that a murderous and destructive raid had taken place.
I first met the Publisher at No. 14, Buckingham Street, Strand, long the residence of Joseph and Mrs. Pennell, whose hospitality to fellow-craftsmen and to publishers and Pressmen was proverbial. I found in the Publisher a pronounced Free Trader, a warm disciple of his father-in-law, Richard Cobden; and as he was also a member of various Liberal Clubs, I thought him a trifle distant, and that he no doubt suspected me of being a Protectionist and a Conservative.
Old parties have been riven asunder by the war, and old names have given place to new ones. "Unionist" is no more, and if "Conservative" and "Labour" still remain like embers of dying causes, "Profiteer" and "Proletaire" are more popular. The things themselves still exist as faculties of government, but the names, as expressions of theories or doctrines, have been discarded for Internationalism, Proletariat, the World State, and other glorified denominations that are intended first to dress out human nature in a garb of common mediocrity, and then gradually to reduce man to the condition of the ants and the bees.
These advanced doctrines have both alarmed us and drawn us closer together, as, happily, most men of integrity and goodwill have been gathered into a solid phalanx to defend themselves from the complots of schemers, who have conjured up a mirage of illusions to tempt the foolish and covetous. In addition to the weaknesses of human nature, the variable climate of this planet makes the realization of every Utopian idea impossible.
Two portraits of the Publisher were painted—one in his old-fashioned Adam room, at No. 1, Adelphi Terrace, and the other at The Hermitage. When Mrs. Cobden Unwin saw the first portrait, she was as frank as Mrs. "Colonel" House, and said, "I do not like it—it's all lavender." In one thing the Publisher is conservative. His clothes are the colour of lavender; and this tint is enhanced by a yellow necktie that is perpetually renewed. In the second portrait I avoided lavender, and succeeded in pleasing Mrs. Cobden Unwin with tones of brown and gray.
The sittings at The Hermitage were enlivened by amusing talks about men and women who appear in books; and as the Publisher has had many opportunities for the study of authors, as well as of the people they write about, I have made mental notes for a volume of "Studio Causeries." These talks, whilst he sat for me, to pass the time, and perhaps keep him from going to sleep, led him to reveal some of the experiences of his profession; and it was interesting to me, as an American, to find his wide knowledge of American publishers and literary men, which he seems to have obtained during the last forty years or more. In the middle 'eighties he became the publisher of The Century and St. Nicholas magazines, which at that time, and for a good many years, were two of the best American periodicals; and they contained work by many of his and my friends, both artists and literary men. Joseph Pennell and his wife, both of whom I have painted, were great contributors to these magazines, and they were naturally acquainted with the Publisher; and I gathered they frequently met, and sometimes on the scenes of the artist's work. For instance, when Pennell was doing his English Cathedrals they spent week-ends together at Canterbury, Gloucester, and Ely; at the latter place, apparently, the Publisher had to go down to help the artist out of some copyright trouble with the local photographer, who was inclined to assume that the artist could not draw the cathedral without his help. Then again he was with Pennell when he was drawing The Oldest Church in London, St. Bartholomew's the Great, and again at Chelsea; these pictures eventually took book form. The book on Chelsea was written by Dr. Martin, another American, who collaborated with Lawrence Hutton, known to his friends as "Uncle Larry," in that good book Literary Landmarks of London.
Another suggestion for articles, which came, apparently, from the Publisher, was a visit to the Thames. The Publisher, with Mr. and Mrs. Pennell and other friends, paddled from Oxford to Kingston. The result of this excursion was issued under the title of The Stream of Pleasure.
Again and again they must have met in Paris for the opening of the Salon: Mrs. Pennell at that time wrote her well-known articles on Art for the New York Nation under the initials N. N. On one of these visits a party of artists and critics discovered in the shop of a picture-framer in Montmartre a large collection of paintings by Van Gogh, which must have been given by the artist in payment for paints and brushes. Only one of the party, the Publisher, dared to speculate with a few sovereigns. These masterpieces are now sold for hundreds and even thousands of pounds. If only the party had been wiser, even if worse critics!

Songwriter Lineup
Posted on Dec 23, 2019 in Central Square Records , 30A Songwriters Festival , Vinyl Records , January–February 2020

The 30A Songwriters Fest comes to town, plus new artists featured at Central Square Records By Edward Jack Manager, Central Square Records
Central Square Records welcomes in another year with some great new releases, from seasoned songwriters like Leonard Cohen and Allison Moorer to rising new phenoms like Billy Strings. There is certainly something here for everyone. Already some great new music for the new year!
Allison Moorer – "Blood" – "Blood" serves as a musical compendium to Moorer's staggeringly forceful memoir of the same name, recalling a childhood rich with rural imagery, Southern culture, and unfortunately, unspeakable horror. Moorer, along with her little sister, singer-songwriter Shelby (Lynne), witnessed the murder of their mother by their father, who then took his own life moments later. But "Blood" is not a tell-all chronicle of this traumatic event, and its manifold repercussions, but takes a loftier, meandering route through themes of grief, acceptance, and eventually, hope. From the first track "Bad Weather," Moorer sets the scene, as if laying out the emotional road map for the journey ahead. But conversely, "The Rock and the Hill" shows Moorer taking her fate in her own hands, and pushing back against the eternal struggle that is her every day. Both memoir and album are hard to separate, one informing the other, but both creating a haunting beauty, experienced by a brave and amazingly descriptive storyteller.
Leonard Cohen – "Thanks For the Dance" – The posthumous album of midnight crooner/poet/sage, Leonard Cohen, was meant be a second chapter of his 2016 album, "You Want It Darker," according to his son, and co-producer, Adam Cohen. Sadly, Adam had to finish production after his father's death, but he made decisions based on Leonard's musical vision for the songs. Leonard made a point of inviting some great guest artists, including Leslie Feist, Beck, Daniel Lanois, and Damien Rice, to name a few. From the lightness of the charming title track, to the heavy-handed tone of "Puppets," Leonard creates a variety of moods throughout the album. "The Goal," an older poem of his, now put to music, exhibits the mundane aspects of the ravages of age, though achieving a glimmer of hopeful clarity by the song's end. "Thanks For the Dance" is a powerful musical in memoriam of a lost father, lovingly curated by an adoring son.
Jon Batiste – "Chronology of A Dream" – Jon Batiste's follow-up to his critically-acclaimed "Anatomy of Angels," released earlier this year, finds him in a live setting at New York City's legendary Village Vanguard. Accompanied by a team of stellar jazz musicians, Batiste settles in nicely on this live date. The loss of trumpeter Roy Hargrove at the beginning of recording sessions in 2018 definitely had its effect on the emotional clime of the album, reflected in a treatment of Hargrove's own tune, "Soulful." From the funky opening track "Blacck," to the crowd-frenzying "Kenner," Batiste offers up a command performance. Other highlights include the hard-bop soul of "Higher," and the brass-heavy, "Birthe."
Billy Strings – "Home" – Blistering young picker Billy Strings flies out of the gate with his riveting sophomore release, "Home," showcasing new heights of his bluegrass-meets-heavy metal pedigree. Strings gives us a snapshot of where he is musically nowadays, with the help of his backing band, comprised of guitar, bass, and mandolin. His dexterity is beyond superb, and the speed with which he changes directions is nothing short of jaw-dropping. With guest spots from veteran dobro player, Jerry Douglas, and rising sensation, Molly Tuttle, on guitar/ vocals, Billy adds more depth to his songwriting, as evidenced in "Must Be Seven," and "Love Like Me." Though known mostly for his white-hot live performances, "Home," proves that he can make a studio album that is just as captivating.

THE IMPOSSIBLE MADE POSSIBLE!
PUNE: The tanks at Shivnerigad have water, and yet the adivasi folk staying at the foothills of the Sahyadris have been facing a problem. And, this was taken into note by the Tehsildar office in the area. The office began working in full vigour to make the required change.
The result: As of today, there are ten tanks full of water made by drilling holes into the rocks around the Sahyadri range for utilisation by the adivasi community out there. This being a clear example of - if the administration takes it upon themselves, they can as well create the change required.
Natural Tanks atop Shivneri gave the idea-
The state is facing drought throughout. Drinking water availability issues have been nagging the state most. The adiwasi clan in the western region of Junnar taluka have been facing drought situation time and again every year. This area located in Pune district is not far away from the residing spot of the adivasis in the Sahyadris. Here, extreme conditions of torrential rainfall during the rainy seaon and acute scarcity of water during the summer prevail. As a result, every year, the Junnar tehsildar would look up the issue as to what must be done to reach water tankers up to these areas. Last year, a driver of one of the water tankers being transported to this area was killed in an accident on the narrow winding ghats of the region. This incident put the current tehsildar of Junnar Digambar Raundhal in a fix. Here stood an adivasi village that had everything they needed provided by mother nature. All the same, they had been kept in want of the most basic need of any living being - water. The nearby situated water tanks atop Shivneri stay full all through the year. It was this idea that struck Raundhal as a potential way to do away with the problems the adivasis of the Sahyadris were facing.
Ten tanks put up-
Now, Tata Ltd. had contributed in the construction of the roads in Junnar. Keeping this in mind, he contacted the Corporate and Social Responsibility department of the company and implored them to help implement this idea of his, and in the process, received the assistance of the sub-divisional officer of Junnar - Sunil Thorve. Working on this completely from the scratch was found to be a tedious job. As an immediate response to take away the strain of carrying water from faraway lands by the adivasi women, the company dispensed Rs 15 lakh to begin the project. The next step taken by Tehsildar Raundhal was to personally visit the area and find all possible spots where these natural tanks could be set up. Some areas he noticed were rocky. He had talks with the landowners here and got them to donate those land spots for the project, thus paving the way clear for the erection of these man-made but natural water tanks. Today, there exist ten such water tanks spread out in the area. This has given the adivasis here a new lease of life by doing away with the acute shortage of water they faced earlier. And this happiness can be seen in the faces of each and every adivasi woman living out there.
Water unavilability issues nullified-
Ambi, Hatviz, Sukalvedhe, Durgewadi also benefitted from these ten water tanks erected in their surrounding. Junnar and the surrounding villages now have drinking water at their disposal throughout. "As a result, we have now stopped cribbing for water to be amde available to us, and this is forever," says Kamal Dengle, a resident of Hatviz village.
A Success model-
This successful project in Junnar taluka's adivasi region is now a model for other areas in the state experiencing the same problems. It is a classic example of how one can make use of the nature's available resources to the best of one's capacity as per the requirement. "This should be held up as a success model for other regions across the state. Implementation of this project across will erase any traces of water shortage and rought -related problems faced by people across," Sunil Thorve, sub-divisional officer of Junnar taluka said.

Former MSU Graduate Leading East Lansing Through Pandemic
CREDIT: McConnell Adams TSM Lansing
According to the Lansing State Journal, Aaron Stephens, who is a former MSU graduate, would take to the street to remind students of the city's COVID-19 mandate requiring face coverings and even pulling out a box of disposable masks if they needed one.
Aaron Stephens is the mayor of East Lansing and he takes his job seriously by looking out for other people.
"As the mayor, he spends a majority of his waking hours walking East Lansing streets, coordinating with MSU, government and business leaders through Zoom meetings and educating students and the MSU community during the coronavirus pandemic." (LSJ)
Stephens is an amazing young man. He announced his campaign for a seat on the city council as an MSU junior and voters elected him in 2017 as a 21 year old senior.
So how did Aaron Stephens wind up as the mayor of East Lansing? "Mayor Ruth Beier and former Mayor Mark Meadows both resigned during a July 14 meeting following a heated argument over a city attorney contract." (LSJ)
As a council member and pro tem, Stephens was thrown into the council's top position and instantly became the youngest mayor in city history.
I find this very interesting just to see how far Stephens will go with his newly found position as mayor of East Lansing.
Stephens said his most important mayoral duty is simply listening, whether to a city council member or a city resident who doesn't agree with him on a certain issue.

Robert Harnek / $50,000
Baltimore – Robert Harnek has the good fortune of having a serious Maryland Lottery player for a best friend. The Harford County engineer rarely buys Lottery tickets, except when the two hang out, and then he only plays Powerball and Mega Millions.
Steve Lax / $250,000
RALEIGH – Just as many other lottery winners, Steve Lax of Archdale says his win – a $250,000 Powerball prize − couldn't have come at a better time.
Rob Maser / $2,000,000
CLIVE, Iowa — A Des Moines-area man said he called person after person after realizing he'd won a $2 million Powerball® prize, and no one believed him – not even his wife or his dad. Rob Maser of Urbandale said he quickly realized that he must have a reputation as a jokester.
Milton Price / $50,000
Baltimore – Milton Price of Maryland has big plans for when he hits the jackpot in a Powerball or Mega Millions game: "I'm going to open up a shelter. I want a church, a place where the homeless can come to shower, rest and eat."
Jin Jung / $50,000
Baltimore – When multistate Lottery jackpot games begin rolling to ever-higher amounts, more and more people begin to play in hopes of becoming multimillionaires. Jin Jung of Olney joined in the chase that ended March 27 with the $768.4 million Powerball jackpot going to a Wisconsin player and a $50,000 prize going to him!
Alonzo MacDonald / $50,000
A St. Louis man recently made a routine stop at a convenience store to buy some gas and check his Powerball tickets, but the errand ended up being anything but routine.
Alonzo MacDonald said he plays Powerball about once a week. Several days after the April 6 drawing, he decided to check his tickets. He scanned his ticket for the April 6 drawing on a Check-A-Ticket machine at a convenience store, which advised him to claim his prize at a lottery office.
Al Ciappa / $50,000
Baltimore – Al Ciappa plays the Maryland Lottery's jackpot games – Powerball, Mega Millions and Cash4Life – regularly, so he was paying close attention to news reports when the Powerball jackpot rolled to $750 million — and eventually $768.4 million — for the March 27 drawing.
The 58-year-old carpenter wasn't thinking about any prize other than winning the third-largest jackpot in U.S. history and the second largest in Powerball history.
"Gina Jones" / $50,000
Baltimore – "Gina Jones," a recent Maryland transplant, plans to put a new car in her parking space after winning $50,000 playing her favorite numbers in the March 23 Powerball drawing. She matched four white balls — 24, 25, 52 and 60 — and the Powerball — 5 — to capture her big win.
"I play Mega Millions and Pick 4 often, but I rarely play Powerball," said the College Park, Md. winner. "When the money is big, I will play."
Timothy, David and Michael / $50,000
"It's actually very funny, I had always said when I grow up I want to be a Powerball winner," said Timothy B., a Schuylkill County resident who is sharing a $50,000 Powerball win with two co-workers and friends, Michael P. of Luzerne County and David B. of Lehigh County. This was only the second time the friends played Powerball together.
Stan Heberlie / $50,000
Stan Heberlie of Farmington generally buys his Powerball tickets from the same local convenience store. Stopping in at Convenience Barn, 1000 Ste. Genevieve Ave. in Farmington, before the March 27 Powerball drawing, he continued the usual trend. What was unusual, however, was that a ticket he purchased would match four of the five white-ball numbers drawn plus the Powerball number for a prize of $50,000.
After watching the 10 o'clock news that night, Heberlie remembered to check his tickets.

We try to be as transparent as possible by providing you with real guest experiences. Find out what other diners are saying about Cafe63 - Eastville Toowoomba.
Everytime I have visited Cafe63, I have always been impressed by the cleanliness of the dining area. Tables are promptly cleared of plates etc when people leave and then set up ready for the next customers. This is all done without fuss and with every care. Staff are always very welcoming and are not territorial being always ready to help. Meals are so good - well-cooked, attractively served and the menu provided a range to cover all tastes. The prices are so good and I am always smiling when a meal is served and it looks to good and then I think of the cost! This is a delightful place to dine at any time f the day and at prices which make other places outrageously expensive. Well done and thank you for providing a delightful eatery.
Cafe 63 never fails to impress. The atmosphere is lovely, and they easily cater for solo diners to large groups. Booking a table is quick and easy on Quandoo. The menu is extensive, and even the fussiest of eaters like me can easily find plenty to choose from. The staff are always polite and friendly, and the service is amazingly fast. The coffee is delicious, up there with the best in town. We love Cafe 63, and are regular visitors at this great little place. Whilst you're there, why not grab a bunch of gorgeous reasonably priced flowers for yourself or your loved one.
From the moment we stepped in we were made to feel welcome. The staff were friendly, attentive and smiled. Once our orders had been taken it was only about ten minutes later that our food arrive. The two of us were pleasantly surprised. The quantity, taste and quality of the food was amazing! At the end of the night we both felt that we had been to a high class restaurant. The only negative comment would be the cases of water that were stacked beside the cash register, which could have been hidden out of sight of the dinners.
My very first visit to a Cafe 63 was very enjoyable. One could not fault the attention by the team members. The cafe's decor was bright and attractive. It appeared to be 'sectioned' to allow for personal preference by customers as to where they wanted to sit. I enjoyed the extensive choice of menu, appreciated the 'all day breakfast' on offer, and although I didn't experience it on the day, I will certainly be ordering from the sweets menu the next time I visit! Ah! ... the coffee is magnificient!!!
Another great experience at Cafe 63. They have recently change the menu, and my favourite Rainbow Warrior Crossiant is no longer on the separate breakfast menu. When I asked the waitress if I could still order it, she told me she had read the new menu the night before and remembered seeing at the back of the menu. She was very helpful and polite. We look forward to visiting again soon.


BAGHDAD, March 26 (Reuters) - Iraqi special forces advanced on central Tikrit on Thursday as U.S.-led coalition planes joined the largest offensive yet against Islamic State militants holding out in Saddam Hussein's home city.
A spokesman for Iraq's Defence Ministry said the coalition had carried out 17 strikes in Tikrit so far, in addition to 24 by Iraq's own airforce.
The mayor of Tikrit said coalition and Iraqi planes were striking the palace complex as well as the northern Qadisiya district, part of which is still held by insurgents, and the Shisheen neighbourhood in the south.
Jaafar al-Husseini, a military spokesman for Kataib Hizbollah, criticised Prime Minister Abadi for inviting the coalition to take part and threatened to withdraw from the battlefield.
Speaking at an air base where Iraqi planes were taking off to fly sorties over Tikrit, Iraq's Defence Minister Khaled al-Obeidi played down the role of Iranian advisers in the battle.

Eddie Murphy was born in Brooklyn on April 3, 1961. As a teenager he started doing stand up comedy.. and then later joined the cast of "Saturday Night Live." In fact, Murphy auditioned six times before he was hired as an extra on the show. . At age 21, Murphy co-starred with Nick Nolte in 48 Hours...and then in 1983 "Trading Places" with fellow SNL alumnus Dan Aykroyd. His next film, "Beverly Hills Cop" as Axel Foley hit No. 9 on the list of all-time box-office hits.
Murphy has gone on to star in several box-office bombs and box-office successes.. In the summer of 2001 he voiced the character of Donkey in the animated feature "Shrek", also featuring the voices of Mike Myers and Cameron Diaz..In 2006, Murphy signed on for a screen adaptation of the Broadway musical "Dreamgirls", featuring Jennifer Hudson. His performance as soul singer James "Thunder" Early earned him a Golden Globe award and an Academy Award nomination.
Hey Eddy, I recently watched your Mark Twain awards, and I listend to what your peers said about you, seems like you have amazing friends. I admire the fact that you got up on stage and made the world laugh again, Moreover i wanted to inform you that through my perception, "(Your Reputation Exceeds and always will Exceed your Age!)"
I am an avid movie fan. After 61 years of being exposed to the many fantastic artistic works of your industry, I had the privilege of watching Mr. Church.
Normally I expect an Eddie Murphy movie to leave me laughing. Today you have brought tears to my eyes as you played the role of Mr. Church.
I never consider reaching out to anyone with my feelings. However, after watching you in this wonderful movie I was compelled to do so.
You are God's gift to this world sir. Do not forget that. It is people like you that make this world worth enduring.
I do not expect to be here much longer. Unfortunately I never amounted to anything, but take solace in the fact I have had the opportunity to experience the gift called Eddie Murphy.
Just wanted you to know you have made this man smile, laugh and cry. I am so grateful for your efforts.
The best movie you have made so far! Might not be the best critic but it's my first text ever so you'll know it's true and genuine.
I grew up watching Eddie Murphy in Film. Mr. Church is by far, his finest work as an actor. Such a moving role, and a complex character. (My opinion).
I hope he enjoyed making the film, as much as I enjoyed watching it.
It's Christmas Eve, just watched Mr. Church. I loved it!
It is so refreshing to watch a movie where people are just good! What a wonderful man Mr. Church was. His legacy lives on in the love this author portrayed. And you Eddie Murphy made it great! You are a superb entertainer in what ever avenue you portray. God bless you! Thank you for sharing your talent with us! You make so many people happy with your work.
What makes others cry in movies normally leaves me flat. Saw Zefirrelli's 'Romeo and Juliet' as a teen. It inspired nada - not one tear - even in the face of all my friends practically turning the theater into Lake Michigan with their tears. But Mr. Church; now there was a man whose life and death could inspire a good cry. And because of you, it did; thank you for that.
I was on a flight from Townsville in Queensland Australia to Sydney and was looking for something to dull the pain of a few hard days away from home.
I was looking for a decent drama and found Mr Church. Wow what a find, a magnificent story of good people, with all their human flaws, just being honest, loving, kind and family.
Eddie Murphy is sensational with his portrayal of Mr Henry Church, maintaining a privacy all the while building a loving surrogate family with, in the end, three magnificent women (1 being little Izzy).
The team that put this together have brought a truly beautiful story to life, as a 57 year old man, I was happy to have a tear or two on the plane. I am now on a mission to get this movie here in Australia so my wife can share this wonderful story, she is tired of me talking about it and wants to see it for herself.
Thanks Eddie and the rest of the team, magnificent.
I have been a long time watcher of the series "The PJ's". i am currently watching one now. I thought to myself how it would have been nice for Eddy Murphy to do a Movie with with himself as "The Suppa", bringing all the characters to real life.

Two killer whales, who have been captured by hunters are on their way to display during the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics. Animal protection adviers say the exhibit effort – was cruel and a "callous attempt to cash in on the Olympics".
The killer whales are the largest dolphin species on earth, reaching lengths of over 22ft are to be kept in a "small concrete tank" after a 4,614-mile flight from the far east of Russia. Campaigners say the two killer whales, along with six others, are being held "in small pools" near Vladivostok.
A source told the Sunday People: "This is so wrong. The Sochi Dolphinarium is shamelessly trying to cash in on the Olympics by exploiting these creatures who should be roaming free in the wild.

Q: Authentication on iPad for HTML5 web app I have created an HTML5 web app, works great. However, when I pin it to the home screen to make it behave like full-screen native app, every time I open it, I have to authenticate with my corporate Windows intranet. If I switch to another app, and switch back, I need to once again authenticate.
When I open the app in Safari, I don't ever need to authenticate.
Is this normal? Or can anyone perhaps think of a reason why my network would be configured in a fashion where I need to constantly authenticate? It's getting to be a bit of an annoyance.
Thanks!
Chris

The AMA's Guide to Politically Correct Language: Advancing Health Equity
Home/Science-based Medicine Blog • Uncategorized /The AMA's Guide to Political …
Dec 3, 2021 Harriet A. Hall, MDScience-based Medicine Blog, UncategorizedAMA, health equity, politically correct language, politics, racism, social justice
The AMA urges us to promote health equity by adding progressive political language to what were once simple statements of fact.
The American Medical Association has just released Advancing Health Equity: A Guide to Language, Narrative and Concepts. Jesse Singal has been tweeting about it, calling it "a strange document that calls for doctors to insert progressive politics into even plain statements of fact."
Some of the most egregious language can be seen in Table 5:
While this is all true, I think such language is too cumbersome, convoluted, confusing, and inappropriate to have it intrude on doctor/patient conversations. I think those conversations should be focused on science and medicine, and political statements can be expressed elsewhere. But that's my personal opinion, as well as that of my husband: he says if his doctor said anything like this, he would find a new doctor. He goes to his doctor for medical reasons, not to be harangued by someone's political agenda.
We are urged to reform our language, to call ex-cons/felons "Formerly incarcerated/returning citizen/persons with a history of incarceration". To call diabetics "persons with diabetes". To avoid the use of the words "blackmail" and "blackball". To say "enslaved person" rather than "slave." To avoid using the words "master" and "slave" in software/tech. To say "white" rather than Caucasian, and not to capitalize "White". To avoid saying target, tackle, combat, or other terms with violent connotation when referring to people, groups, communities, or public health measures (no more "war against drugs" or "war against cancer".) To replace "homeless" with "people who are experiencing homelessness".
The AMA says "our current state is built on the land and labor of others in ways that violated the fundamental principles of equity". And "health equity cannot be achieved without explicit recognition and reconciliation of our country's twin, fundamental injustices of genocide and forced labor".
I don't disagree with that, and I think we should all be more aware of these issues, but I don't think forcing the discussion into the doctor/patient conversation by specifying the language to be used is the best cure for the inequity that exists throughout our society. Words matter, but our language evolves slowly, not by fiat. The AMA's Guide is misguided, but it has value in that it will make us think and engage in productive discussions.
I have always been skeptical of "politically correct" language, never more so than in the 1970s when I wrote a letter from the flight surgeon's office to all the missile officers at F.E.Warren Air Force Base. The letter was kicked back to me for revision because it featured "politically incorrect" language. I had used male pronouns, and they said I should have used language that included women. I refused to revise it because women were not allowed to be missile officers for the Minuteman missiles stationed on our base and I knew that every single one of our missile officers was a cis-gender male. They wanted me to include individuals who were not, and could not be, included. "Political correctness" would have been factually wrong. Political correctness has clearly gone too far.

We are often asked about how to keep warm in a marquee, well there are different methods depending on what you budget requires. We have a direct or indirect methods of heating a marquee.
This is the more costly way of heating a marquee, yet it is a more safer method of the two as the heater is located outside the marquee and hot air is then ducted into the marquee through a venting system.
We do recommend this method if health and safety is an issue and there are a large number of clients or guests and the event.
With this method the gas heater is placed within the marquee. The heater blows hot air into the marquee. Although this is the cost effective way to heat a marquee is it the less safe especially around children, so caution is always recommended, this heater would also need someone to manually switch it on and off.
This method is usually adopted by clients that are on a tight budget or clients having a small private event..

Ofer Shapira was born and raised in Israel and lives in a village in the central district of the country, with his wife and their two children. He holds a B.A in Computer Science and an M.B.A in Business Management, with expertise in marketing.
As with most Israeli's, Ofer served in the army before his entrepreneurial spirit was allowed to flourish and he co-founded an e-commerce company with his brother. The success of the company has allowed Ofer to diverge to other interests and led him to publish his first children's book, Amazon Jeff's Big Discovery, which is about a deer who is looking for something different but realizes that he is already special in his own way.
In his free time, Ofer spends much of it with his young family but enjoys writing just about anything, from computer code to love letters. He is inherently curious and likes to experiment in the kitchen, cooking and baking new things.
He has also published a book that summarized 3 years of funny Facebook of friends, has created a board game based on the Israeli army that is similar to Monopoly and has been a serial builder of websites.
Ofer hopes that Amazon Jeff will become a big hit with children and intends to create a series that will provide a range of exciting adventures.

No bugs, video recording works in software mode using the second camera application.
And could upload more photos?
this in Spanish? , Updated by OTA, have no problems with the flashlight or camra or record videos?
Goes faster than the stock rom And it works youtube?
If anyone found out where to fix it for this version, I would be glad to hear about it.
Problem my 4G is very slow with this rom !


Having access to the freshly baked cookies is all the matter of timing – and this is the day when you hit the bull's eye! So delighted you will be by the thought of being the first customer to the just opened bakery that you end up trying all the offerings in a single visit. More frequent visits to that specialist of good taste are on cards. If you have a sturdy digestive system, this is the day to give it an endurance test. If it fails, your food though not by choice, would be something good to settle those jitters.

Q: .NET's SslStream is always negotiating to the least secure cipher I have. How can I change this? SslStream is supposed to negotiate the cipher type, key length, hash algorithm, etc. with its peer SSL stack. When using it in my code, I find that the negotiation always defaults to RC4 & MD5. I would like to use 3DES or AES for some added security.
Looking around the web I find only a few references to this problem and no solutions; one poster is claiming this actually makes sense, since the lowest common denominator between the two stacks is secure while has the added benefit of being faster/using less CPU resources. While this may be technically correct, my particular trade-off between complexity and cost lies elsewhere (I prefer to use AES with a long key).
If anyone can help I'd appreciate it.

A: SSLStream uses Schannel that is supplied with the operating system.
The suites are listed in the default order in which they are chosen by the Microsoft Schannel Provider for :
Windows Vista:

RSA WITH AES_128 CBC SHA
RSA WITH AES_256 CBC SHA
RSA WITH RC4_128 SHA
...

Windows XP:

RSA WITH RC4 128 MD5
RSA WITH RC4 128 SHA
RSA WITH 3DES CBC SHA
....

You can also modify the list of cipher suites by configuring the SSL Cipher Suite Order group policy settings using the Group Policy Object snap-in in Microsoft Management Console (Windows Vista)
But the issue is that Windows XP doesn't include AES in the list of ciphers available for SSLStream.
However, it's possible to change Registry settings in Windows XP:
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\FIPSAlgorithmPolicy 1  for getting 3DES cipher.

A: You can select which protocols are available for selection by making some simple registry changes.  We remove the ability to select RC4, for example.  You only need to make the change at one end of the connection (eg server) because the client and server negotiate to find commonly supported algorithm
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms925716.aspx
Best wishes
James

A: It should be using the most secure set of algorithms that were in both lists. I find it hard to believe that it isn't, because SslStream is wrapping the SChannel SSPI, and if that were broken then Internet Explorer, IIS and everything else on Windows would be broken too.
It could be that you have an outdated version of SChannel.dll/Secur32.dll. What OS and Internet Explorer version do you have installed?
It is possible to disable protocols in SCHANNEL. Could you check that this hasn't been done?

A: I'm using XP SP3 and IE7 with all updates. The registry seems configured with everything enabled.

A: In Java you can order the various algorithms/ciphers according to your needs and preferences. May be there is a similar API in .NET...

Donald The Dove Plans to Withdraw From a Nuclear Weapons Treaty
The New York Times first reported over the weekend that the Trump regime is planning to withdraw from the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty (INF) treaty, a pact signed in 1987 that limited deployment of nuclear weapons.
Trump is reportedly going to argue that withdrawing from the treaty is necessary to join an arms race with China.
The Trump administration is preparing to tell Russian leaders next week that it is planning to exit the landmark Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty, in part to enable the United States to counter a Chinese arms buildup in the Pacific, according to American officials and foreign diplomats. [...]
The White House said that no official decision had been made to leave the treaty, known as I.N.F., which at the time of its signing was considered a critical step in defusing Cold War tensions. But in the coming weeks, Mr. Trump is expected to sign off on the decision, which would mark the first time he has scrapped an arms control treaty, the American officials said.
There's a lot going on here, but what immediately jumped out to me is that this was one of Ronald Reagan's signature accomplishments. The Republican party as we know it today hasn't been the "party of Reagan" in a long time, but they've now circled 'round back to withdrawing from Reagan's treaties. Trump is probably going to say the treaty was a "bad deal," just like he always does, but this won't be a Democrat's deal he's withdrawing from.
Now, all things considered, it's still possible this won't happen. Trump says and does a lot of things that didn't happen and never will happen, so it would be reasonable to be skeptical until we see an official announcement.
With that said, I think he'll go through with this. Trump probably thinks this is a macho move that will place more pressure on China to give in to his nondescript trade demands. It's more likely they'll simply shrug.
Speaking of which, the whole world will have another reason to shrug the next time Trump or other American officials point fingers at Iran or even North Korea who, last time I checked, is still closely aligned with China. It may be true that Russia has been violating the INF for years, but if Trump decides to formally abandon it, that's on him.
How can we demand that other countries abandon their nuclear weapons programs if we forge ahead with another buildup?
Bolton to Lecture Russians About Nukes As Trump Withdraws From INF Treaty
Interviews From Earth One: "Tony Atamanuik"
Charlie Pierce this morning:
This has to be Bolton. Or Pompeo. Or both. Kelly's too smart for this reckless nonsense and the president* doesn't know a Pershing missile from a wombat. In any case, it's a profoundly perilous and stupid thing for the United States to do, injecting the old Cold War into whatever it is we have for an international order these days. Like I said, this combination of ambition and idiocy has to be Bolton.
Mikhail Gorbachev said Donald Trump's decision was not the work of "a great mind," which shows us all exactly how to throw shade, as the kids say.
Blowing up everything Barack Obama did makes a sociopathic sort of sense, since Obama made fun of Trump at the White House Correspondents Dinner 'way back in 2011. Blowing up one of Ronald Reagan's achievements is simply nuts.
I don't think anyone except Trump's adoring fans will find this decision anything but alarming.
Unless the adults put the brakes on this guy..get used to everything being torn up.

"How can we demand that other countries abandon their nuclear weapons programs if we forge ahead with another buildup?" Pick any issue and our stature and leverage has been decimated by the Orange Regime in the same fashion: climate change, human rights, free elections, treaty commitments, basic decency, you name it. Everything about our legitimacy on the world stage has been tarnished and sullied by Dotard Squatter currently in the White House.

Anti-bullying crusade at Mt. Olive carnival
Michael Izzo
@MIzzoDR
MOUNT OLIVE – The township's first responders took the stage Thursday at Mount Olive's annual carnival to make an anti-bullying pledge.
Mount Olive firefighters, police officers, and emergency medical technicians took the pledge that is part of a national crusade against bullying called the Anti-Bullying Squad, promoted by personalities including former New York Giants running back Lee Rouson and retired New York Yankees catcher Rick Cerone.
Flanders Fire Department spokesperson Doug Fenichel said emergency workers all too often see the effects of bullying on the job.
The Anti-Bullying Squad urges people to step in and stop bullying when they see it, creating an environment that will no longer tolerate bulling and its effects.
The Mount Olive effort is led by Flanders Fire Department First Lt. Bruce Gallagher, who sees bullying both as an EMS provider and as a youth counselor at a local church.
"This is a great opportunity for us to raise awareness and do something about it," Gallagher said. "We'd rather prevent the pain and damage from bullying instead of responding to the crises it causes."
Thursday was the second night of the five day carnival that, in addition to rides and games, also includes musical performances.
Today's acts include Aisle Five and Saturday will feature Wicked Kitty & the Wildcats, Blind Dog Rosie, and Say Uncle.
The carnival is located at Mount Olive's Turkey Brook Park. It is open 6 to 11 p.m. today and Friday, 3 p.m. to midnight Saturday, and 3 to 8 p.m. Sunday.
Fireworks are scheduled for 9 p.m. Saturday. Unlimited ride wristbands are available for $35 today and Sunday. Individual ticket sales are Saturday.
