(4)Growth based on a constant exchange rate: 2022 exchange rates applied to 2021 figures
(5)Expressed as Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR), a standard metric for SaaS or subscription business. ARR is the average annual subscription value that customers commit to pay over the life of a contract. Revenue from platform transactions is not included as it is uncertain by nature and depends on the number of transactions effectively processed, which is not known at the time the contract is signed.
A record quarter and year
Esker once again experienced its most successful quarter and year in company history in 2022, closely approaching the 160 million euros revenue mark. Esker 2022 sales revenue amounted to 159.3 million euros, a 19% increase over 2021 based on current exchange rates (+13% at constant exchange rates).
Esker Q4 2022 consolidated sales revenue amounted to 42.5 million euros, an 18% increase over Q4 2021 based on current exchange rates (+13% based on constant exchange rates). Despite a slight decrease in documents processed during the quarter due to the economic slowdown, cloud-based activities (+23% based on current exchange rates) continue to drive growth, representing 80% of total revenue (97% with implementation services). This strong momentum is spread across all geographical areas, all of which posted solid growth, benefiting from the sales successes achieved throughout the year.
An outstanding quarter and year for new bookings
Esker also recorded the second-best quarter in its history in terms of bookings. The annual recurring value (ARR) of new contracts signed during Q4 2022 increased by +21% (at constant exchange rates) compared to Q4 2021, reaching 4.5 million euros (15.3 million euros over the total duration of the contracts).
The ARR of new contracts signed in 2022 increased by 19% (at constant exchange rates) over 2021 to reach 16.6 million euros (61.1 million euros over the total duration of the contracts). The pace of new bookings was extremely dynamic in the U.S. (+27%) and in the Asia-Pacific region (+46%). In contrast, Europe only saw a slight increase of 3% in bookings due to concerns about the war in Ukraine and inflation in energy costs.
A solid structure
In December 2022, Esker's workforce surpassed the mark of 1,000 active employees, which represents 972 full-time equivalents contributing to company growth.
As of December 31, 2022, company cash rests at 46.9 million euros (versus 39.2 million euros as of December 31, 2021). With 32.3 million euros in net cash (compared to 38.6 million euros on December 31, 2021) and more than 130,000 in treasury shares, Esker has the financial autonomy to pursue its strategy based on accelerating organic growth, complemented by targeted acquisitions to integrate adjacent markets and enhance value delivered to customers.
Outlook for 2023
Given the strong booking performance in 2022 and despite continuing economic uncertainties which could impact the number of transactions on the platform, Esker expects organic revenue growth between 12-14%. At this level of growth, profitability is expected to be between 12-15%.

It's safe to say that commuting to work is no one's favourite time of the day – sweatily standing in a hot and stuffy carriage, squashed between strangers trying desperately to avoid eye contact.
Whether it's a 10-minute tube ride or an hour-long train journey, travelling to work in rush hour is not for the faint-hearted – often subject to delays, cancellations and an unfortunate lack of seats, but if you want to work in central London – it's also absolutely necessary.
In the past few months, we've spent a lot more time than we would care to on public transport (ahem Southern Rail!) so we understand only too well the struggles of commuter life.
'Apologies for the delay ladies and gentlemen, the driver is currently having a cup of tea' – yes this writer has genuinely heard that excuse before.
And expressing your anger in the most British way possible: sighing loudly and passive-aggressively until they feel sufficiently guilty and embarrassed.
And then having to choose between completely ignoring them or making awkward small talk for the next hour and a half.
Or if you do manage to get a seat whilst others are standing – more often than not ending up with a stranger's genitalia in your face.
Then having to spend the whole journey smiling politely as your 'neighbour' loudly recounts their life story, going into detail about their many troubles.

It's always a McDonald's egg mcmuffin and the culprit is always the person next to you.
And then judging them, raising your eyebrows at the person next to you whilst secretly listening in.
And then having to tip out the contents in front of everyone (condoms, tampons etc.) in an attempt to find it, only to realise that you left it in your coat pocket.
And you hold back tears and play along so as not to cause any embarrassment on either end.
And having to use every ounce of self-restraint not to break down in tears or scream.

MENDELSSOHN VIOLIN CONCERTO IN E MINOR, OP. 64, 1ST MOV
CORNERSTONE LESSON MENDELSSOHN
One of the most frequently performed violin concertos, and also one of the most lyrical and flowing works of its type. The movement contains a variety of thematic expositions, developments and recapitulation of the themes, all of them examined by Professor Gyorgy Pauk and with the help of young talented Elena Kawazu.
Masterclass recorded in March 2015 ©iClassical Academy
Don't forget that it's a musical concert, so it's imperative not to get aggressive or rough in the quick passages and, as Maestro Pauk says, "keep singing".
History of the piece
At the beginning of the 20th century, it was universally accepted that German composers had produced four milestones in violin concertos: Beethoven's and Brahms' concertos were competing for the most profound; Bruch's was considered the most seductive, Mendelssohn's was viewed as the most brilliant jewel of the heart. Only a few know these three particular things about this romantic and virtuoso concerto:
Why the 1st and 2nd movements are connected? Many wrote that, because Mendelssohn hated the habit of audiences to applaud between movements, he decided that the 1st and 2nd had to be played without interruptions to prevent the audience from clapping. But it's more likely that he decided to do so because of his determination in developing compositive cycles to the extreme, which we also find in the third movement.
In this composition, Mendelssohn wanted to innovate the habit of the composers to let the orchestra play for a while, and have the violin coming in only after a certain number of bars. Hence, the violin plays already in the second bar!
Mendelssohn's presence made the difference. The first performance was in 1845 in Leipzig, where Mendelssohn couldn't conduct due to health problems. Six months later the concert was performed again in the same theatre, played by the same violinist (Ferdinand David), but this time with Mendelssohn on the podium, and it was a great success, confirming again how the soul and inner energy guiding any performance always makes the difference.
Articulations of the Octaves, and how to get up bow and down bow strokes even, combined with the need to make all the notes very clearly audible.
Following the Masterclass, you will learn how to be aware of how to stay clean in your sound, even during quick passages, how to keep the sound lyrical, and "cantabile", and how to organise your bowing when you have to be regular, as well as intense. Then, as any violinist knows, one of the most challenging things to do is to arrive at the finale strong and concentrated enough to render the growth of the atmosphere; but it comes precisely in a moment in which you risk to be tired, and possibly not intense and expressive enough. Gyorgy Pauk is one of the greatest Masters of this kind of school, and here you will find precious teachings to achieve this particular skill.
A particular passage with an escalation of intensity, so what's the best way to play it? Sustain your sound and keep a lot of vibratos.

We help businesses envision, create and sustain high impact pay strategies.
VisionLink helps businesses anticipate the rewards strategies that will be most effective in supporting their growth goals. We accomplish this through a process that helps organizations assess their current practices, define a compensation philosophy statement and evaluate options for designing plans that will be flexible, self-financing and drive results. All of this is done in the context of the company's vision for the future.
The process VisionLink uses to design specific compensation strategies ensures that every plan fulfills its purpose—that it produces the desired results. This can only be achieved by making certain that each plan is effectively tested and modeled, properly documented to meet all statutory standards and effectively introduced to participants. Our process comprehensively yet efficiently addresses each of these elements so clients can be assured that our designs will be accurate, relevant and impactful.
VisionLink considers what happens after a plan is designed and introduced to be just as important (if not more so) than what happens during the development stage. An "A+" rewards plan that is never talked about, reinforced or celebrated has little value to employees and therefore generates few results for the company. As a result, we help our clients develop a rewards reinforcement strategy to promote and market the plan to participants. That plan is then married to a rewards management system to help sustain the pay strategies and keep them fresh in the minds of a company's workforce.
FILL OUT OUR FORM ON THE RIGHT AND ONE OF OUR COMPENSATION EXPERTS WILL SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS.
Thought leadership on pay philosophies and practices that build an ownership mindset.

Why Ruben Loftus-Cheek should stay and fight for his place at Chelsea
by Llion Carbis share
26/10/2018 | 06:05am
The topic of youth integration at Chelsea is always finely precarious. For a club that flaunts such a substantial number of talented prospects, and an established pedigree at youth level, it's wasteful that so few of those budding youngsters are unable to become recognised first-team starters.
Andreas Christensen has come mightily close to integrating himself into the Chelsea starting eleven, yet following a series of high-profile mistakes, he lost his starting position towards the end of last season. Similarly, throughout his senior career at Chelsea, Ruben Loftus-Cheek has been on the periphery of a starting spot in their team.
Since making his debut for the club in 2014, Ruben Loftus-Cheek has amassed 35 appearances for Chelsea, scoring two goals. Additionally, he impressed while on loan at Crystal Palace last campaign, where he was regarded as one of the Eagles' primary creative influences. Despite his commanding presence, the Englishman is endowed with silky flair and refined technical quality; his ability to drive forward with menacing runs is a valued feature of his game.
His performances have been of such respected quality, that he has attained nine caps for England, four of which were earned during the World Cup. Typically, such acclaim would warrant considerable involvement at club level, but Loftus-Cheek is predominantly stranded on the periphery of the first-team.
This isn't a dismissal of his abilities as a footballer, rather an indication of the competition that he faces at one of the world's most recognisable clubs. Maurizio Sarri has a plethora of midfield options at his disposal. The list includes players of great repute and promise, such as Jorginho, Kante, Kovacic, Fabregas, Barkley, Loftus-Cheek, Ampadu and Drinkwater. Accordingly, Loftus-Cheek faces a difficult to challenge to penetrate what is seemingly an impregnable Chelsea midfield.
At his age, and having only amassed 60 appearances at senior club level, the 22-year-old requires regular first-team involvement to further his progression. This season, he has just received 99 minutes of football under Sarri's tutelage. Nonetheless, this shouldn't disincentivise the promising Englishman nor set the foundations for a move away from Chelsea.
The midfielder can take solace in the example set by his fellow club and international teammate, Ross Barkley, whose opportunities at Chelsea have derived from his ceaseless commitment to hard work. At the end of last season, the former Everton midfielder had only featured in four games for Chelsea, and his situation seemed problematic. He has already attained 12 appearances this term, and he's contributed towards four goals – two of which have been scored in his previous two appearances.
Seldom did you see Barkley complaining to the press regarding his disposition at the club, nor did he allow his injuries to curtail his chances of succeeding at Chelsea. Entwined with his commitment and admirable work ethic, the Englishman had the luxury (by being absent from Southgate's World Cup squad) to spend the entirety of the summer with Chelsea, which perhaps enabled him to make a more profound impression on Sarri.
Loftus-Cheek wasn't afforded such opportunities, a consequence of his World Cup participation, but what Barkley's ascension from rotational figure to important first-team player illustrates is that timing is essential. If Chelsea's squad were to endure an unfortunate injury crisis, Loftus-Cheek would plausibly be entrusted with more significant involvement.
The Englishman flaunts excellent potential, and he certainly has the necessary quality to represent a club of Chelsea's stature. Naturally, there areas of his game that require improvement, such as his goal contributions, and decision-making (he often takes too long to act with the ball at his feet), yet, his promise is undeniable.
While I've mentioned the need for consistent involvement, he shouldn't jeopardise his prospects at the club, in favour of short-term goals. Through perseverance and openness to adapt, Loftus-Cheek can succeed at Chelsea.

According the the HBO schedule anyway.
It's repeated at 10 and 11pm.
Is that online somewhere (sharpes Wiki pen)?
Click the Schedule button and select Week of 4/17.
I though they would choose "the things i do for love". But WiC is okay.
No, no advertisments, though the run time may well include two or three minutes of things for other shows.
Do they usually put new shows on all their channels for the premier? I am sure it is just for the first episode but still pretty cool that only HBO Family won't be showing it(and understandable why HBO family wouldn't be) Kind of like that idea so if anyone has the multiple HBO channels and is checking out what is on HBO that night they will see Game of Thrones on every channel and maybe decide to tune in.
Wow, that is just one big block after another on the schedule. Nice!
I love that they are promoting the heck out of this show.
Episode 2 is called The Kingsroad.
Huh. Interesting and surprising.. Very specific, unlike the first two.
I like the title. It seems like this will be a heavy Jon centric episode that deals with him adjusting to life on the Wall not being what he thought it would, and of course Thorne giving him that nickname. Since Donal Noye wasn't cast, they'll probably have Jeor give Jon the lecture that helps open his eyes to what a prick he's being to the other boys, which is a good move of the creators' part.
I liked Donal Noye, but with this being the third episode of a complicated series, I think it's more important for the viewers to be connected with Jorah, and with so many other characters for people to keep track, this will simplify things in a good way. I'd guess this is also the episode where we'll be introduced to Sam.
If Tyrion hasn't left yet, he might speak to Jon too. I remember in the book they had a conversation about nicknames and how to own them so they can't be used to hurt you. I can't remember when in the exact chronology that took place though.
We already know Tyrion takes at least some of Donal Noyes role, as we see him interrupt the fight in the Armoury (plus GRRM mentioned it some time back).
There could be additional dialogue between Jeor and Jon as well though.
You're right, we did hear about Tyrion taking on Donal Noyes role. I had a momentary brain lapse there. I am curious if we'll see Jon interact with Jeor as well in that episode.

So what are they calling the 4th episode?
According to the HBO schedule, it's 'Cripples, Bastards, and Broken Things'.


Once a dominant world power that conquered much of the Americas, Spain is now of one of the leaders in world tourism. Blessed with abundant sunshine, world-class art and architecture, and wonderful food, beaches, and scenery, this seductive nation offers something for everyone -- from hiking in the Pyrenees and swimming in the Mediterranean to dining on paella and relaxing in a seaside sidewalk cafe (or all four). It may well have the most diverse set of attractions in all of Europe -- and Stride can help you sort through it all.
Viewing Antonio Gaudi's fanciful and enormously ambitious church of La Sagrada Familia in Barcelona, still a work in progress almost 90 years after the architect's death.
Swimming in the warm waters of the Mediterranean sea off one of Spain's alluring islands of Mallorca, Ibiza or Formentera.
Staring, amazed, at the detailed tile work in Granada's 14th-century Moorish palace, the Alhambra.
Staying in a parador, one of the government inns converted from former castles, monasteries, and other atmospheric buildings.
Making the rounds of the tapas bars in Madrid, downing a complimentary olive there, a slice of roasted potato there, and perhaps splurging on a grilled prawn or two.
Throwing tomatoes at strangers in Valencia's famous La Tomatina, a 40,000-person tomato fight held each August.
Admiring the Old Masters in Madrid's Prado Museum and Picasso's masterwork Guernica in the Centro de Arte Reina Sofia.
Taking in a flamenco show at a club in Seville where you know the dancing is authentic.
Joining the pre-dinner crowds along Las Ramblas in Barcelona as they enjoy their evening paseo, while passing chic sidewalk cafes and lively street entertainers.
Marveling at the formal gardens and fountains in Seville's Royal Alcazar Palace.
Spending an art-filled day in Toledo, home of the painter El Greco and a medieval masterpiece of a city.
Walking at least part of the Camino de Santiago in northern Spain, an ages-old, now newly popular pilgrimage route.
We were able to visit many wonderful sites in spite of a heat wave, thanks to air conditioned car and a pool to return to. We greatly appreciated the air conditioned bedroom and room fan that Maria provided. We loved living in the olive orchards and the rural surroundings! We appreciated that Dodge made it clear what to expect when we were choosing an apt.
Very organized. Sufficient free time.
There are so many great things to say about my European trip of a lifetime. The people that made it was my fellow topdeckers and of course the Fab Tour guide Matt Stewart. This is a trip that I will never forget, so many lovely memories I will cherish forever. We was very lucky with Matt because he really took time to talk to us and make us all feel relaxed with each other and asked us what we wanted to do. He was so knowledgable about all the places we went to, I remember thinking to myself this guy is pretty cool the fact he knows so well about the history and culture of each place especially the amount of cities we travelled to. Matt made the trip fun, interesting, exciting and I hope that if I was to ever do a top deck again one day he would be the tour guide or I think I would be disappointed. Have recommended top deck to so many people, memories I will have for a lifetime.
Our guide made the trip for the group. She was enthusiastic about her country and wanted to share it with us. She was knowledgeable and had lots of information that we wouldn't ordinarily know. She gave everyone in the group attention and helped to make the group cohesive and happy. The accommodations were not fancy but well picked to allow us to get to know more of the people in the towns we stayed in. The wineries were diverse and interesting as was the olive oil tasting. My favorite place was Montblanc where we stayed in a lovely place in the old city and had a home-cooked dinner by the owners. I can't wait to find another trip with Explore for next year.
Spain -- the tempestuous land of Don Juan and Don Quixote, Carmen and Figaro, bullfighting and flamenco -- once ruled an empire that stretched across the Americas and points beyond. By the 20th century it had fallen into decline, merely another poor nation in southern Europe. Now, in the midst of a cultural renaissance, Spain is much like a theme park devoted to the good life -- a sensuous feast of fun, food, and fine art and architecture.
Start with the beaches, as many visitors do. (Northern Europeans, who search out sand and sunshine like heat-seeking missiles, have made Spain their holiday central.) The most crowded stretch, the Costa del Sol along the southern Mediterranean, sports highly developed resorts like upscale Marbella and carnival-like Torremolinos, once quiet fishing villages now packed with sunbathers and bar-hoppers. The Mediterranean island of Ibiza is another incredible party scene, though with better beaches; the smaller island of Formentera is quieter.
In Spain, you can spend hours or days with Spanish masters like Velasquez, El Greco, Goya, Dali, and Picasso in Madrid's Prado and other top museums. Architecture? Frank Gehry's sensational Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao is one of the most talked-about buildings in Europe. You can even view ancient Roman ruins such as the two-millennia-old aqueduct in Segovia.
The Spanish have turned eating into an art form, not so much with the classical artistry of the French as with the playful palette of Picasso, a native Spaniard. Dining often begins by making the rounds of tapas bars -- grazing on small platefuls of delicacies washed down with glasses of local wine or sherry. It continues with multi-course meals that may run on till midnight. Seafood is often the centerpiece, sometimes topping giant platters of paella, the saffron-tinged rice dish that's almost synonymous with Spanish cuisine.
All of these cultural, culinary and recreational riches are set against a scenic backdrop as varied as any in Europe. To the east and parts of the west, the Mediterranean and Atlantic coastlines frame hundreds of miles of blue sea. To the north, the green and forested Pyrenees rise to form a mountainous border with France. In central Spain, arid brown valleys and high plateaus add dramatic contours to the landscape. And in the far south, the Andalusian countryside is reminiscent of Spain's onetime New World outpost, southern California. Each region is wildly beautiful in its own way.
The Spanish people enhance it all with their exuberant approach to life, much of it played out on the public stage. In cities and villages across the country, they emerge to see and be seen on their evening paseos, strolling often arm-in-arm with family or friends, typically dressed to be admired.
The narrow streets of Barcelona's old Gothic Quarter, the now-chic antiquity of Madrid's Puerta del Sol area, and the winding medieval alleyways of Seville's Barrio Santa Cruz and Granada's Sacromonte (gypsy) district are often packed far into the night with diners and revelers who see daybreak not as the start of a new day but the end of the old. The country's many fiestas rachet up the festive mood even higher. July's annual Running of the Bulls in Pamplona, March's Las Fallas de San Jose in Valencia, and Easter's Feria in Seville, among many others, all provide spectacular pageantry.
But when do they sleep? A partial answer rhymes with fiesta: siesta, an afternoon tradition that is struggling to survive the economic pressures of modernization. Tour leaders know to plan sightseeing and shopping trips in the mornings or late afternoons since many museums, stores and other attractions often close for two or three hours at midday. Take a cue from the Spanish: enjoy a leisurely lunch and rest up during the hottest part of the day.
All roads lead to and from stylish Madrid, the centrally located Spanish capital, which combines world-class art museums like the Prado with alluring public parks and nightlife. Just south of Madrid lies the photogenic and beautifully preserved medieval city of Toledo, immortalized by the artist El Greco.
Much farther south, Andalusia is a sunny, Moorish-influenced land that spawned flamenco and forms many people's mental image of Spain. Seville is a maze of courtyards, plazas, bars and restaurants, while Granada is home to the Alhambra, an ornately tiled 14th-century Moorish palace. Cordoba's 1,100-year-old Great Mosque, with its hundreds of colorfully striped columns and archways, is so vast that an entire Roman Catholic cathedral (added later) seems almost lost within it.
Barcelona, in the northeast, is the epicenter of the Spanish revival. The old Gothic Quarter, with its jumble of twisting streets, opens onto Las Ramblas, one of the world's great promenades, and Gaudi's surreal architectural legacy is everywhere. To its south, vibrant Valencia, birthplace of paella and the world's biggest tomato fight, is often overlooked -- but shouldn't be.
While not the dirt cheap destination of old, Spain is still a good value for Europe -- especially if you consider all that it has to offer. If you haven't visited Spain since the sleepy 1970s, you're in for a huge surprise.
Stride can help you find the tour that best represents what you most want from your Spanish vacation -- whether it's a tour of the classic sights, a multi-week trek along northern Spain's Camino de Santiago, a riverboat cruise along the Guadalquivir River in Andalusia, or perhaps a culinary tour where you can discover the secrets of making a great paella.
As in many travel destinations, shoulder season is some of the best time to visit if you're after milder weather and less intense tourist crowds. In Spain, there are exciting local festivals and events going on year round, and the food in the more rural villages and regions - while seasonality based - is always flavorful and delicious.
Spain is a popular wine tasting destination, which is a popular activity throughout the year. The most picturesque time to visit vineyards is generally Summer through Autumn. The vines are full and colorful and wineries are buzzing with activity - in the fall it's harvest time which is always exciting.
The vines are not exactly pretty to look at in the winter, but this is a less crowded time in the tasting rooms. So if you're interested in talking shop with the tasting room associates, this is one of the best times to visit - when they won't be distracted by large groups.
Unfortunately Spain is fairly expensive year round, even during shoulder seasons. Traveling with a tour can often help you save on food and activities such as attending local festivals.
All Spain tours, river cruises, expedition cruises, and adventure trips. Find the best guided trips and expert planned vacation and holiday packages. Average rating of 4.5 for all Spain trips.

Toyota to reveal updated Prius and Avensis
Updated Prius and Avensis models are set to premiere at the Frankfurt Motor Show, with Prius Plug-in and Prius+ seven seat versions joining the line-up. Toyota will also show the 2012 Hilux pickup and the new Yaris.
The Avensis benefits from overhauled styling, including a new front end designed to fit with Toyota's current design language, as well as improvements to the quality, look and feel of the interior. Driving dynamics have been enhanced, as have powertrains – although details of the powertrain changes are yet to be released. Toyota is calling it the most comprehensive midlife overhaul it has given to a model.
The Prius range has been expanded, and the Prius+ seven seater will be shown at Frankfurt alongside the Prius Plug-in model, which has the potential to deliver CO2 emissions as low as 49g/km. The Prius+ will be the first seven seater hybrid on sale and will deliver emissions below 100g/km.

Q: Xamarin/XCode register provisioning profile error I have the following problem. I'm creating Xamarin iOS application(by vs for max 2017) and during a building I have this error:

No installed provisioning profiles match the installed iOS signing
identities.

As far as I can understand the solution of this problem is connected with creating provisioning profile by xCode. But when I try to generate provisioning profile(with name testtesyui) by xCode I see this error:

Failed to create provisioning profile.
There are no devices registered in your account on the developer website.
Plug in and select a device to have Xcode register it.
No profiles for 'testtesyui' were found
Xcode couldn't find any iOS App Development provisioning profiles matching 'testtesyui'.

I don't have any real iOS device and I'm planning to use iOS emulator.
Below, I listed screnshoots from xCode ui(I've hid personal data):
xCode account settings,
xCode general settings
Could some one help with this problem? Please let me know if you need more details.
Thanks.
Updating:
I opened info.plist file in vs for mac and I saw the following:
info.plist content.
I've tried to sign in in my apple account, but in the end I saw this message:
signin. As a result, I still cannot select my team.
Could you please give advice where am I wrong?

A: my problem was in a solution configuration. By some reason, I tryed to build my application in Debug|iPhone mode, not in Debug|iPhoneSimulator mode.
When I switched to Debug|iPhoneSimulator mode, then the build works fine.

A:
You need to enable automatic signing to work with simulator

Once you've ensured you have an Apple ID connected to Visual Studio for Mac, you're ready to enable Automatic Signing
Steps

*

*In your iOS project, open the Info.plist file. In the Signing section, select your team from the Team dropdown:

Biden's next challenge: Selling the infrastructure bill
By Brett Samuels and Alex Gangitano - 11/09/21 06:58 PM EST
The White House is looking to refine its sales pitch for the newly passed infrastructure bill in a bid to boost the administration's standing with voters after a difficult election for Democrats and as President Biden Joe BidenMacro grid will keep the lights on Pelosi suggests filibuster supporters 'dishonor' MLK's legacy on voting rights Sanders calls out Manchin, Sinema ahead of filibuster showdown MORE has seen his approval ratings sink.
Officials have argued for months about the need for infrastructure investments to maintain the nation's economic competitiveness. Now, with one bill passed and another spending package working its way through Congress, Biden and his top aides are seeking to convince the public that the White House agenda is tangibly benefiting voters.
The president will head to Baltimore on Wednesday to tout new investments in ports that will alleviate supply chain issues. The White House has also assigned a handful of Cabinet secretaries with messaging the $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill to the public.
Ensuring the public is aware of how the bill is benefiting their communities will be crucial for the White House as it seeks a bump in approval after a difficult few months. Poll after poll has shown Americans concerned about inflation and the economy, and Democrats suffered key losses in state elections earlier this month, punctuated by a defeat in the Virginia governor's race.
"I think it's important for us day in and day out to make the connection to what has been done here and the day-to-day improvements in people's lives," said Tom Perez Thomas PerezClinton's top five vice presidential picks Government social programs: Triumph of hope over evidence Labor's 'wasteful spending and mismanagement" at Workers' Comp MORE, former Democratic National Committee chairman and co-chair of American Bridge 21st Century.
Perez noted a swath of Americans still don't realize the child tax credit they've received this year was part of the American Rescue Plan, which Biden signed in March, an example that underscores the importance of making sure the public connects improvements in their lives to what the administration is doing.
"We need to be the implementers-in-chief, we need to be the explainers-in-chief, and we need to be the marketers-in-chief. That is how we will succeed," Perez said.
The Biden administration intends to engage a broad coalition of outside organizations and government officials to help educate the public about the infrastructure bill, according to a White House official.
The White House will collaborate with labor groups, business coalitions and state and local leaders to reach Americans at the local level.
That community focus was on display Monday when Biden sat down for an interview with a local station in Cincinnati to discuss the bill's benefits for a nearby bridge that has long been in need of repairs.
In Baltimore on Wednesday, Biden will visit the Port of Baltimore and give remarks. White House deputy press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre Karine Jean-PierreThe Hill's 12:30 Report: Biden comes out swinging in 2022 Biden says he plans to run for reelection in 2024 'if I'm in good health' The Memo: Failure on big bill would spark cascade of trouble for Biden MORE, when pressed on why Biden is going to that site over other major U.S. ports, said the trip is focused on the investments to fix the supply chain.
"It's very important to the supply chain and all the work that he's doing to make sure that we deal with the issue that we're having currently," she said Tuesday.
Later in the week, Biden is slated to hold a Cabinet meeting to discuss implementation of the bill and expected results, including rebuilding roads, bridges and rails, expanding access to clean drinking water, ensuring access to high-speed internet and tackling the climate crisis.
Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg Pete ButtigiegAirlines warn of 'catastrophic' crisis when new 5G service is deployed Buttigieg says parenthood 'lights a fire' The Memo: 2024 chatter reveals Democratic nervousness MORE and Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo Gina RaimondoThere's a long road ahead for the infrastructure bill to reach success Biden's comprehensive Indo-Pacific economic framework isn't comprehensive at all Let's be honest: 2021 wasn't all bad MORE joined the White House press briefings on Monday and Tuesday, respectively, to talk about the bill. Their appearances are part of a broader delegation for specific agencies to highlight specific benefits.
The Transportation Department will spearhead messaging efforts on how the bill will improve roads, ports, rails and bridges; Interior will focus on the benefits for Native communities and combating climate change; the Energy Department will outline how the bill helps repair the electrical grid; the Commerce Department will lead messaging on implementing internet to communities without access; and the EPA will detail how the bill will allow for the replacement of lead pipes.
In Washington, administration officials have touted the mammoth bill as a historical investment and transformative piece of legislation. But the messaging in states should be different, argued Ryan McConaghy, former senior aide to Senate democratic leadership and partner at Forbes Tate.
He said the administration should focus on the tangible benefits of the package and what concrete, local impacts it will have on Americans when selling it across the country.
"I think the president is doing a good job going to Baltimore and deploying the Cabinet. They can't sell this from D.C. alone. That's particularly important for rural areas, where people feel like Democrats have abandoned them," he said.
McConaghy argued the administration needs to keep up with selling it beyond this initial push.
"They need to stay on this with progress reports, they can't just put a shovel in the ground and have a ribbon-cutting. They need to provide ongoing updates about money going out the door to fund projects over the next months," he said.
Biden has not yet signed the legislation into law and the White House has not yet indicated when that ceremony will take place. Congress is out this week and Jean-Pierre said on Monday Biden "wants to make sure the congressional members who worked very, very hard on this, when they come back, then we'll figure out a time to sign it."
McConaghy said involving members of Congress with selling the package will help Americans feel less disconnected from the bill's benefits.
"President Biden and Democrats in Congress can use this win to show that they are governing. Numerous administrations and Congresses have tried to do this for a long time, and it's happened now under their watch. The president has a great sales force with the members that helped to make this happen," he said.
"Working with them to localize the impacts on specific projects and the jobs and economic projects, they will have to be a key part of the strategy to reap the political benefits of this," he added.
Rep. Peter DeFazio Peter Anthony DeFazioOn The Trail: Retirements offer window into House Democratic mood Democrats confront rising retirements as difficult year ends Members of Congress not running for reelection in 2022 MORE (D-Ore.), chairman of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, said Americans will be able to see the benefits come next construction season.
"There's going to be one hell of a lot of jobs out there. Manufacturers are going to be making new bus sets. We are going to put a lot of people to work, moving America toward a 21st Century transportation bill. They will notice," he said.
Problem Solvers Caucus co-chair Rep. Josh Gottheimer Joshua (Josh) GottheimerDemocrats gain edge from New Jersey Redistricting Commission-approved maps Progressives look to regroup after Build Back Better blowup Transformational legislation should be bipartisan again MORE (D-N.J.) said last week he "can't wait" to go home to New Jersey to tout what is in the bill.
"From the Gateway Tunnel, which is the tunnel between New York and New Jersey, fixing a lot of crumbling roads — we've got the third worst roads in the country, a third of our bridges are considered unsafe. Looking forward to showing how we can deliver," he said.
"Also, talking about a significant investment in broadband — I've got big swaths of rural areas that do not have high-speed internet. We've got a lot of lead water issues and pipes. There's a lot to be [helpful] to our families," he said.

Q: Windows Phone Toolkit AutoCompleteBox I am using the WPToolkit's AutoCompleteBox in my application.
XAML is as follows-

<toolkit:AutoCompleteBox Name="ACB" ValueMemberBinding="{Binding Name}" MinimumPrefixLength="0" IsTextCompletionEnabled="False" SelectionChanged="ACB_SelectionChanged">
    <toolkit:AutoCompleteBox.ItemTemplate>
        <DataTemplate>
            <StackPanel>
                <TextBlock Text="{Binding Name}"/>
                <TextBlock Text="{Binding Color}"/>
            </StackPanel>
        </DataTemplate>
    </toolkit:AutoCompleteBox.ItemTemplate>
</toolkit:AutoCompleteBox>

I need help in the following scenario-
The itemsource of the above AutoCompleteBox is a list of objects of a class with 2 properties - Name and Color.
Now, when I enter the text in the box, the items need only be filtered by name and they are filtered fine. But if I select the item, it is not selected correctly.
The case is as follows-
Suppose there are 4 items-
Item 1 - Name= "Pencil", Color = "Red"
Item 2 - Name= "Pencil", Color = "Green"
Item 3 - Name= "Eraser", Color = "Red"
Item 4 - Name= "Eraser", Color = "Green"
Now I enter the text "pen" in the AutoCompleteBox. Then first 2 items are shown. But if I select the Green Pencil, The Red Pencil is selected instead.
Maybe because both items have the "Name" as "Pencil". But I need to manage this scenario.
There can be 2 items with the same name. but the correct one needs to be selected.
How can I do that? Do I need to apply some custom Filter?
If so, how?

A: I think the problem is the binding via  ValueMemberBinding. You could remove it and use the ItemsSource instead. For this you need to create your own filter and to override the ToString() method of your object class.
A shorter workaround would be to not use selection changed event for your autocomplete box and use Tap evant on each item
    <toolkit:AutoCompleteBox Name="ACB" ValueMemberBinding="{Binding Name}" MinimumPrefixLength="0" IsTextCompletionEnabled="False" >
<toolkit:AutoCompleteBox.ItemTemplate>
    <DataTemplate>
        <StackPanel Tap="TapEvent">
            <TextBlock Text="{Binding Name}"/>
            <TextBlock Text="{Binding Color}"/>
        </StackPanel>
    </DataTemplate>
</toolkit:AutoCompleteBox.ItemTemplate>

And in c#:
   private void TapEvent(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
   {
        StackPanel stack = sender as StackPanel;
        if (stack == null) return;

        MyClass item = stack.DataContext as MyClass;
        if (item == null) return;

        //here I have the selected item which I want
   }

Aerial Radiometric Survey in West Cumbria 1988.	Final Report: Project N611
Sanderson, D.C.W. and Scott, E.M. (1989) Aerial Radiometric Survey in West Cumbria 1988.	Final Report: Project N611. Project Report. Scottish Universities Research and Reactor Centre, Glasgow, UK.
Details and results are presented of aerial radiometric measurements undertaken in summer 1988 over an area of restricted livestock movement in West Cumbria. The project was planned in June and July on the basis of discussions between MAFF and SURRC. The prototype aerial spectrometer developed at SURRC in March was used in a helicopter for three purposes. Firstly the sensitivity and spatial resolution attainable over variable and, in some places mountainous, terrain was confirmed, supporting the conclusions of earlier flight trials in Scotland. Secondly it was confirmed that 134Cs could be detected semi-quantitatively within the survey area, providing insight into the origins of anthropogenic deposition of 137Cs. Finally the distribution of both natural and anthropogenic gamma ray emitting radioactivity was determined within the survey zone. The survey was conducted successfully in between 22nd August and 3rd September 1988. Despite unseasonably poor weather more than 1800 measurements were recorded from an area of over 45000 hectares. The detector performance and sensitivity was as expected, and it has been possible both to detect 134Cs and to produce high resolution maps of the radioactivity within this area. A comparison of the results of other analyses of environmental materials from parts of the survey area, including a programme undertaken by MAFF in 1988, and the aerial results confirms the overall validity of the calibration method used. Both 134Cs and 137Cs maps show considerable spatial variation throughout the survey zone and can be used to identify the areas of peak deposition due to Chernobyl. This basic information may be of use for devising and evaluating agronomic strategies to minimise the transfer of artificial nuclides through the food chain, and to help alleviate the problems experienced by farmers working in the restricted areas since the Chernobyl accident. The prototype detector and method used both show considerable potential for further development.

Due to the effects of the 08 financial crisis, by certain road blocks to the financial advancement of the world, but coming from a global standpoint, the economy is without question slowly improving, most persons are quite optimistic. Different countries contain introduced a related plan to spark economic creation, increase purchase in commercial infrastructure, to enhance employment, help people to boost confidence in the economic recovery. Especially found in Questionnaire, The european union, and Asia. Therefore , the by metal demand part, demand of metal suppliers remains to be fairly huge, but in the supply price could possibly be relatively large fluctuations.
Terms of resource and selling price of Chinese steel, Chinese suppliers steel import and export is still fairly active, even though experienced a variety of relatively significant price variances, the acute appearance within the highest value, suddenly metallic prices lost his balance to a minimum value, but out of now appears that the supply-demand marriage, or perhaps basically stabilized. Listed below to show further more, you will get more options to buy metallic or more lovers via several material attributes, based upon on the information. First of all, about things about galvanized steel, provide you with a lot of introduction to assist you to better be familiar with quality within the zinc-coated metal. The galvanized steel metal it applies selection of the welding parameters is small , credited to the contact area of low resistivity, low firmness, the low burning point for the zinc coating, so that the call resistance is without question reduced, the actual uneven field distribution, affect the formation and size of the piece. Lessen the electrode your life, because of the low melting stage of zinc layer, the surface easy burning, stir up the contaminants electrode established on the electrode surface, easy to heat up and curve, reduce electrode existence. Vulnerable to welding splashes, impact the stability in the solder joint quality.
So far as the creation and supply of galvanized metal, together with the production of the domestic economic climate, especially in the automobile, appliance and construction companies, the require to get galvanized metallic is greatly increased. And in the method, appliances, due to the constant improvement from the program level, offers been produced in the expansion of item variety. Naturally , came away to meet the preferences of China's economic development and advancement, a large number of Offshore material mills experience improved the high intensity of the export, but likewise on product quality and price, compared to other countries of very similar products and more advantages, so that it features got the best of many countries, such simply because zinc coated metal coil, chilled thrown steel, scorching rolled coils, etc.
The second thing is, that is regarding angle iron, angle material demand is extremely big, as it has cheap antivert generic features other metallic products, viewpoint iron applications is very huge, this sort of as widely used in different setting up buildings and design constructions, this kind of as light beams, bridges, indication tower, hoisting and transfer machinery, boats, industrial heater, reaction tower, container shape and storage facility shelves, etc . For China's the slope iron resource and require relationship with respect to Chinese imports, exports Position each some volume, largely imported out of Japan, and Western The european countries. Exporting location is mainly to Hong Kong, Macao, Southeast South america, Which include America and Arabic countries. Move development enterprise chiefly for the steel vegetable in Liaoning, Hebei, Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin and other contrAi??e and cities (rolling mills). Of course, the above mentioned is a basic instruction regarding different metal from Taiwan, Since Dish is considered a metallic resource abundant countries, and has a number of merits in stainlesss steel creation technology, therefore the material price is quite good to be accepted by a large number of countries, As a result, the procurement of material supply by china manufacturer is as well an excellent choice for lots of foreign establishments, regarding to China's current plan, they will as well get a many encouraging conditions.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell may need to start ordering takeout in Louisville.
The Kentucky Republican abruptly left Sarino, an Italian restaurant in Schnitzelburg, on Sunday night after protesters blared Public Enemy's "Fight The Power" and yelled "no justice no peace."
It was the second time this weekend that Louisville protesters have heckled McConnell to abolish U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
"They did it to hold McConnell accountable," Ibañez said. "One person had a megaphone ... and then management kicked them out."
"It was nice to see people giving their elected leaders (crap) when they aren't doing their best," Norton told the Courier Journal.
A call to Sarino was unanswered and owners Carmelo and Michael Gabriele did not return a Facebook message requesting comment.
A McConnell spokeswoman said the senator had no comment.
This was the second protest during McConnell's weekend in Louisville.
On Saturday, McConnell was eating lunch on Bardstown Road when a group of protesters confronted the senator over ICE and the Trump administration's policy of separating migrant children from their families at the border. Faced with widespread criticism, Trump later issued an executive order to stop the practice.
Jonathan Shell, Kentucky's outgoing House majority floor leader who was dining with McConnell, called the protesters "a small group of extremists."
In a statement last month, McConnell said he supported a bill to keep families together at the border.
"The safety of Americans and the security of our nation require that people who illegally cross our border are not simply released into the United States. But when families with children breach our border, we should keep those families together whenever possible while our legal system fairly and promptly evaluates their status," McConnell said.
A few weeks ago, McConnell and his wife, U.S. Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao, were confronted by protesters over immigration as they left a dinner at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C.
Chao confronted the protesters saying, "you leave my husband alone. Leave my husband alone."

We recently undertook some research with Fertility Network UK to look at why more people from the UK are going abroad for fertility treatment. We found that the high cost of private IVF treatment in the UK was the primary driver, with over 76% of our respondents believing it was too expensive. Nearly 80% felt it is twice as expensive as they were willing or able to pay. According to our survey, people were willing to pay between £1000 and £5000 for IVF. In the UK, IVF can often exceed £10K when additional expenses are taken into account.
The research also revealed some of the shocking ways people were funding their IVF treatment and the impact this was having on them. We found that 62% of couples were forced to dip into their life savings, putting added pressure on their ability to fund pensions, pay for educational fees or support other family members. Some of the respondents had to remortgage their houses, sell personal belongings, ask for help from family and friends or even start crowd funding campaigns to fund treatment.
Facing such financial pressures at home, it is little wonder why more people are seeking a better deal abroad. Treatment in some countries can be up to 50% cheaper than the UK equivalent.
General medical advice is to get a fertility assessment after trying to conceive for one year without success. However, couples should not fall into this "one year" trap. This advice is for younger couples (less than 30 years of age) who, if given adequate time, will conceive naturally in 80%-90% of cases. The remaining 10% may need some help. When the female partner is older or has any known medical conditions which may impair her fertility, early fertility assessment is imperative. The one-year rule does not apply to this group of women because the longer they wait, the more their fertility declines. They should see a fertility specialist after about six months of trying naturally. For example, a woman with endometriosis may have an ovarian cyst or a blocked tube, which might require laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery. If they wait for a year, the endometriosis may worsen and impair her fertility still further. Starting IVF early in the journey increases chances of success; reducing the number of cycles required and saves thousands of pounds in the process.
Don't just look at the IVF price as advertised – make sure you make a note of any additional expenses that may be incurred such as flights, accommodation, medical insurance and living expenses. You may also need to take some time off work which will affect your earnings and if the treatment doesn't work first time, you'll need money aside for future treatments should you wish to continue.
Treatment costs tend to be fairly transparent but watch out for any "hidden" extras. For example, is the first consultation deductible from the treatment cost? Is sedation included in the price for egg collection? Is sperm or embryo freezing included? Are there any guarantees e.g. can you pay for two cycles and get a third free? Most clinics will expect you to have undergone certain tests such as mammograms, sperm analysis, HIV and so on before your trip –– so make sure you find this out before your visit. Clinics will charge extra to have these tests done on site.
It is worth having a look for clinics that offer a 'shared risk programme' to mitigate possible failures. For example, some may allow you to pay for two cycles, and if they don't work, offer a third round for free. At the very least this could save you some money. Egg sharing is another option, which can significantly reduce the cost of IVF. Egg-sharing is an In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF) treatment that brings together women who produce surplus eggs (an egg sharer) with those unable to produce eggs (an egg recipient). Egg-sharing enables these two groups of women to help one another – egg sharers receive free standard IVF treatment, whilst egg recipients receive the eggs they need for IVF.
Many clinics will try to promote treatment add-ons to enhance success rates, but we advise caution in paying for these as we believe many are unnecessary. Add-ons such as embryo glue, time-lapse monitoring or endometrial scratching are often offered by clinics, but in our experience their impact is minimal and probably not worth the added cost. Better save your money for further rounds than waste it on unnecessary perks. It's always a good idea to consult with your GP and/or fertility professionals about add-ons offered by your clinic. Some women under certain circumstances may benefit from additional treatments – e.g. women over 40 or those with medical conditions, such as endometriosis or irregular periods – but make sure you get a professional's opinion before you get the credit card out.
Take the time to investigate different countries across Europe and the world. Some 'less popular' countries – Turkey, Greece, and Russia may actually offer what you need in terms of donor selection or the law around anonymity and be cheaper. For example, Finland has different rules on donor anonymity than most of Europe and is up to 15% cheaper than Spain, one of the more popular destinations. The country you choose could be down to something as simple as personal preference or as critical as IVF age legislation. One of the more common factors aside from cost, is anonymity. In the UK, the identity of egg and sperm donors is not protected by law, which can have far reaching consequences in the future. If this is a concern to you, you should look at countries where donations are anonymous, such as Spain, the Czech Republic and Greece. Other considerations may include the cost of living, expense of travel or accommodation costs. Different countries also have different age legislations for IVF treatment, or there may be specific laws on the number of embryos that can be transferred. These could be a deal breakers before you even step on the plane.
Many clinics have deals with local hotels where reduced room rates are offered to patients. Some clinics even have their own hotel e.g. IVF Zlin in the Czech Republic. Always ask the clinic if they have accommodation deals to help reduce your travel and living expenses.


Yom Ha'Atzmaut- Israel's 64th Birthday!
A committee headed by Betty Klein and Gayle Stamler transformed the Merrick Jewish Centre into the State of Israel. The event was sponsored by the Merrick Bellmore Community Council and members of all of the congregations enjoyed the celebration.
Those entering the MJC lobby, went through Passport Control and entered into the land of Israel. People shopped on Ben Yehuda Street, ate falafel, visited a Bedouin Tent, sat in a Cafe on Dizengoff Street, visited a Kibbutz for ice cream among other activities.
Enjoy photos of the event by Hank Arkin for an overview of MJC's Israel Experience.

President Donald Trump and his Republican allies in Congress are engaged in what has become a war for America. Trump woke up Friday morning with the next battle firmly fixed in his mind as he wages into an unpreceded rift with his own Justice Department. Using his favorite form of mass communication, the president started the weekend with a shot that could be heard 'round the world.
Trump wisely included this last bit to assure the hardworking men and women of the nation's top law enforcement agency that he was not Obama 2.0. Trump ran a campaign partially based on promising police officers that he would have their back…quite unlike the last guy. With his war against the leadership of these agencies, he must carefully distinguish between calling out malfeasance at the top levels of the Justice Department and any beef one might perceive with the agents who go out and do their jobs to protect this nation.
And yet, problems cannot be ignored.
While the secret "Nunes Memo" had not been released to the public as of Friday morning, there is already more than enough evidence available for even a slow-witted observer to conclude that something was badly amiss in Obama's DOJ. There are the text messages sent between Agent Peter Strzok and his mistress. There is the fact that the FBI secured surveillance warrants against American citizens using the flimsy opposition research known as the dossier as their only argument. And there is the ongoing mystifying response from congressional Democrats, who insist that any oversight of the FBI and the Justice Department amounts to obstruction.
To be sure, what comes next will not be pretty. There are reports that FBI Director Christopher Wray may resign if the memo is released. Top Democrats in the Congress and the Senate are calling on Paul Ryan to remove Devin Nunes from the House Intelligence Committee. And on Friday – whether this was simply wishful thinking or a report based on something substantial – there were even stories indicating that Robert Mueller could bring an indictment against a sitting president for the first time in American history.
It may seem hyperbolic – silly, even – to refer to what's happening right now as a war for the future of this country, but we don't know any other way to describe it. One side will win. One side will lose. And the victor will determine where we go from here. Will our democracy be thwarted and yanked away from the people by a handful of bureaucrats and Obama-allied ideologues in the intelligence community? Or will these people be exposed for attempting nothing less than a third-world coup in plain sight?
May you live in interesting times, says the old proverb. And boy do we.

Marble/Whitney/Parmenter Farm
Click on photo to enlarge
Let's start with the witch trial connection. In 1692 Joseph Marble, resident of Andover, posted bond for his two nieces accused of witchcraft. Abigail Faulkner, his wife's sister and their mother, had already been convicted of witchcraft and sentenced to be hanged. Her execution was deferred because she was pregnant. By the spring of 1693 the witch hunt frenzy was over. Abigail was pardoned, her daughters never brought to trial. Subsequently, records show Joseph Marble buying 140 acres of land in Sudbury in 1704. Exactly what land Joseph bought and from whom has not been researched, but a good guess is from William Brown and at the northeast border of what is now Maynard. When Stow incorporated in 1683 this section remained part of Sudbury (Joseph is recorded as attending Sudbury town meetings). Not until 1730 did Joseph's son John Marble and his neighbors successfully petition to switch their land to Stow. In 1871 the same land was included in the creation of Maynard. Thus, over the years the Marble/Whiney/Parmenter homestead was part of three towns, and connected to Marble family history, Whitney family history and Parmenter family history. All three of these historic New England families immigrated from England during the 1630's as part of the "Great Migration."
The Marble family line at the homestead was as follows: starting some time after 1704 with Joseph Marble, then his son John, John's son John, and that John's son John. John-the-last is buried in Glendale cemetery with his wife Lois. Their daughter Sarah Marble married Daniel Whitney and they inherited the house. Their daughter Mary Whitney married Joel Parmenter. Mary and Joel lived in Sudbury until Daniel Whitney died in 1871, then back to the homestead, making it the Parmenter house until Joel died in 1919. Mary's and Joel's son Harry owned half of the house and none of the farm by the time the house burned to the ground in 1924. The house was never rebuilt and the barns (spared by the fire) are long gone. The land is owned by the town of Maynard.
A few highlights: The original immigrants John and Judith Marble, John and Elinor Whitney and John and Briget Parmenter all arrived in New England in the 1630's as part of the Puritan Great Migration. Joseph's "witch" sister-in-law gave birth to Ammi Ruhamah Faulkner in 1693. His name was derived from Hebrew and translates as "my people have been saved" – apt for a child who's pregnancy saved his mother's life! Around 1740 Ammi moved to South Acton and bought the mill. His home is now the historic Faulkner Homestead. His first cousin John Marble was already in residence at the Marble homestead, a mile down the road. The Stow Lower Village Cemetery is full of Whitneys, including Daniel Whitney's great-grandfather Richard Whitney, Richard's wife Hannah, and Richard's second wife, also Hannah. They are lined up Richard, Hannah #1, Hannah #2. Our local Whitneys were related to all the famous Whitneys: Eli Whitney, Whitney museum, horse-racing Whitneys, owner-of-the-Mets Whitneys… Joel Parmenter bought his way out of the Civil War draft, but his great-grandfather Deliverance Jr. fought in the Revolutionary War and his grandsons Joel F. Parmenter and Daniel L. Parmenter served in the U.S. Army in WWI and are listed on the monument in Maynard's Memorial Park.
House and barns before the fire of 1924
What Maynard owns is a 28' x 32' house foundation and surrounding property of what was one of the first households in Maynard. Granite steps descend into what had been the basement. The Marble family had built an imposing, Georgian colonial style house plus large horse barns. In April 2009 Maynard's Boy Scout Troop #130 cleared the site and installed a post and chain fence. This was an Eagle Scout project by Jason Schomacker. A plaque at the site shows an undated photo of the house and barns. The site borders the future Assabet River Rail Trail. With good hiking shoes it is possible to walk 0.8 miles on the trail from Maplebrook Park (south end of Maple Street) to the farm site. Or drive to Rockland Avenue and park in the driveway of the boarded-up white house, just past the site.
Behind the story: In January 2010 the Maynard Historical Society newsletter published an expanded (4000 word) version of this history. The long version is also in the 2011 book "MAYNARD: History and Life Outdoors" (available via Amazon). Visit the site during daffodil season for an additional treat!

Avoid Overhydration and Hyponatremia


Drinking expensive champagne brands has always been considered the attribute of the rich and famous, yet even though you may not be able to get the most expensive champagne, you may still be able to enjoy even the less expensive champagne, if you share it with friends!
Champagne is probably the greatest and most costly types of wine in the entire world. Its name originates from France where people are mainly utilizing it for festivities and other situations. Even though it's a top quality drink, it's refused by a number of religions groups since it gets their followers intoxicated, but these situations are unusual.
Even though there are several people who don't wish to have anything to do with this beautiful wine, we find that it is widely approved around the world these days. Therefore, people have created a few specific and expensive champagne types which are meant for more potent individuals as well as for significant events.
We intend to enumerate six of the most expensive champagne models in the following paragraphs.
1.   The Shipwrecked 1907 Heidsieck. This champagne brand has the cost of $275,000 and it is well known as the most high-priced one in the world. This champagne was first destined to be delivered to the Russian imperial family, however it never arrived at its destination. It was only identified not too long ago, in 1997 and there are just two hundred bottles in the entire planet.
2.   The Pernod-Ricard Perrier-Jouet. This is another extremely popular champagne model because of its higher cost. It's the next most costly champagne in the world and it's also priced at $50,000. This brand doesn't have a historical past to it and it is only advertised for the wealthier persons.
3.   The Dom Perignon White Gold Jeroboam. The next champagne model on our list, it is priced at $40,000. This champagne was bought in a white gold container and it was utilized in 2005 for celebrating the city of New York. Back then, there were just 3 liters in the entire world.
4.   The 1928 Krug, that was acquired at the cost of $21,000. This champagne was created only from the finest grapes in the whole region of France and it is considered to be bottled in the year of 1938.
5.   The Cristal Brut 1990 "Methuselah". This one was obtained at $17,625 at a bidding in New York, 2005, by a mysterious buyer. Cristal is one of the most well-known champagne models in the entire earth, due to the fact that it was widely advertised in music videos and rap songs.
6.   Perrier-Jouet Champagne, pricing $6,485 is the last high-priced champagne brand on our list. It is yet another brand that's only marketed for the richer folks and doesn't have a rich history behind it. It features gleaming tastes making it among the most enjoyable wine related beverages in the whole world.


Musicpb over at Flickr.com posted a recipe for his own version of pepper cheese spread – an adaption of a pimento cheese spread recipe from well-known chef Paula Deen (who is one of the more popular personalities on the Food Channel).
I've been given permission to post this recipe along with the accompanying photograph here at the Crossroads – with the orange of the cheese and the red from the bits of pepper or pimento, I have to say that this could make an excellent lunch or snack for enjoying the Summer Solstice!
by the way, I would definitely love to see musicpb come and cook for me – the photographs of all those breads and pies just makes my mouth water!
The following is an adaptation of Paula Deen's recipe. I like to use jarred roasted red peppers because they have a better flavor than pimentos. I use all extra sharp cheddar because I like a stronger taste. I have also doubled her recipe.
1. Beat cream cheese until smooth and fluffy with an electric mixer.
2. Add mayonnaise, pepper, and seasoning and beat.
The following is Paula Deen's original recipe from which the above was created. It's a milder version that doesn't have quite the same strong flavor, but it's still quite delicious! Bobby is Paula's son – you may have seen him on her show, and I think he and his brother have their own show on the Food Network as well.
Using an electric mixer, beat cream cheese until smooth and fluffy. Add all of the remaining ingredients and beat until well blended. It can be used as a dip for vegetables or as a sandwich filling.


Sometimes we experience foot pain and do not know the cause. We ask ourselves: what could I have done to my foot? If you've been wearing poorly fitting shoes or sprained your ankle, it's easy to figure out the source of your foot pain. However, a lot of foot pain is the result of medical conditions such as arthritis, high blood pressure, pregnancy or diabetes. In fact, any medical condition that causes an imbalance or poor circulation can cause foot pain. Therefore, if you experience any foot pain, you should visit one of our Podiatry offices in Beverly Hills, Encino, Thousand Oaks, Valencia, Pasadena, Long Beach and Oxnard.
Shoes, shoes, shoes! If you are wearing ill fitting shoes such as high heels or cowboy boots that either pinch or cause excessive pressure on your toes and feet, stop wearing these shoes and give your feet a break. Even if the shoes look terrific, they aren't worth the damage to your feet. You will be surprised how fast your foot pain leaves once you start wearing proper footwear.
Posture—are you walking around with your shoulders slouched? It's time to take your Mother's advice and stand up straight because improper walking due to poor posture can cause foot pain.
Temperature changes—Perhaps the source of your foot pain is as simple as the weather. Weather fluctuations can cause temporary changes in foot size and shape–feet contract with cold and expand with heat. These changes in size and shape may result in foot pain.
High Impact Exercising—Are you doing the same high impact workout over and over? This repetitive motion may be putting a lot of stress on your feet which can result in corns, calluses, blisters, muscle cramps, acute knee and ankle injuries, plantar fasciitis, and metatarsalgia. Try adding some variety to your workouts such as alternating days between jogging and swimming. This will reduce the amount of stress you put on your feet and joints. Plus, it will keep your work out from getting boring.
