LIV Golf: PGA Tour officially suspends golfers participating in inaugural event
Leave a Comment / Sports / By admin
After the start of the inaugural LIV Golf event near London on Thursday, PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan announced that all golfers playing in the breakaway series had been notified that they were suspended and would not were more eligible to participate in PGA Tour tournaments.
"As you are aware, the players listed below have not received the necessary event and conflicting media rights clearances – or have not sought clearance at all – and their participation in the Saudi Golf event League/LIV Golf is in violation of our tournament rules," Monahan said in a note.
"The same fate applies to all other players who participate in future Saudi Golf League events in violation of our regulations."
Players who have resigned from their membership will be removed from the FedEx Cup points list when the RBC Canadian Open scores are released on Sunday.
The 17 golfers listed, including former big winners Dustin Johnson, Phil Mickelson and Sergio Garcia, will not be allowed to play in PGA Tour tournaments as a non-member through a sponsor exemption or any other eligibility category. , reiterated the memo.
Mickelson, who previously held lifetime PGA Tour eligibility, said Wednesday that he has no plans to leave the Tour as he has earned the right to participate as he has "a lifetime membership that he has won and worked hard for."
Phil Mickelson defends Saudi-funded LIV Golf membership
Regarding what happens now for the PGA Tour, Monahan added in the statement: "You probably have more questions. And after? Can these players come back? Can they possibly play PGA TOUR champions? Trust that we are prepared to address these issues, and we will approach them the same way we have this whole process: by being transparent and respecting the PGA TOUR rules that you helped establish.
"These players made their choice for their own financial reasons. But they can't demand the same PGA TOUR membership benefits, considerations, opportunities and platform that you do. This expectation disrespects you, our fans and our partners. You've made a different choice, which is to abide by the tournament rules you agreed to when you achieved the dream of winning a PGA TOUR card and, more importantly, competing in the preeminent organization in the world of professional golf.
The LIV Golf Series is backed by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF) – a sovereign wealth fund chaired by Mohammed bin Salman, the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia and the man that a US intelligence report named as responsible for approving the operation that led to the 2018 murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi. Bin Salman has denied any involvement in Khashoggi's murder.
The tour consists of eight events around the world, starting in London on Thursday.
Led by former world No. 1 Greg Norman, the team series runs from June to October with the goal, she says, "to holistically improve the health of professional golf globally to help unlock the sport' (sic) untapped potential."
Saudi Arabia's PIF has pledged to award a total of $250 million in prize money. Each of the first seven events will have a total purse of $25 million, with $20 million split among individual players and the remaining $5 million split among the top three teams at the end of each week.
Ahead of the first event in London, the 12 teams were announced, along with their captains. On Tuesday, the captains selected the rest of their teams in a draft format similar to the NFL and NBA drafts.
Unlike typical golf events, the London event lasts three days, not four, with a field of 48 players starting with a shotgun start – all at the same time – in hopes of being a style event more engaging and action-packed.
Competing in a traditional move play format, the lowest score will be the winner.
LIV Golf responded Thursday to the PGA Tour's decision to suspend players by saying, "Today's announcement by the PGA Tour is vindictive and deepens the rift between the Tour and its members. It is troubling that the Tour , an organization dedicated to creating opportunities for golfers to play, the entity that keeps golfers from playing.
"It is certainly not the last word on this subject. The era of free agency begins as we are proud to have a full group of players joining us in London and beyond.

From the fate of the Atlantic Coast Pipeline to the future of Duke Energy's Coal Ash storage, an update on environmetal issues facing North Carolina. Mike Collins talks with environmental reporters and the newly-named Catawba Riverkeeper.
Last December, the Atlantic Coast Pipeline was dealt a blow by a court which invalidated a permit allowing the $7-billion project to be built through national forests and across the Appalachian Trail. Proponents of the pipeline, which would transport fracked natural gas, have vowed to fight the ruling.
We get an update on that and touch base with other environmental issues including coal ash and what the Bloomberg grant will do in the fight against climate change.

Hillary's False Flag Uncovered, US Elections in Peril!
Hillary has no support, so she's going to try and steal the election!
Alex uncovers the possibility that the globalists will use Russia as a scapegoat to throw the US into chaos, allowing Hillary to steal the election.
Hillary answers to foreign, multinational groups who want to permanently wound America and merge it into their global power structure which only they control.
To accomplish this, the globalists will likely try to steal the election for Hillary and start a military conflict with Russia. Both strategies are complimentary.
Notice how the U.S. is now staging a cyber attack against Russia, despite the fact that Russia doesn't have anywhere near the cyberwarfare capability of the U.S. government.
This is intended to create a public narrative that Russia poses a major cyber threat that will give the globalists an opportunity to blame Russia for "hacking the election" and respond with warfare.
There is one thing that could unravel their plan: patriots within the government who are aware of what's going on and don't want a nuclear war with Russia.


This essay centers upon sustainability as it correlates with direct by-products of small-scale commercial mezcal and pulque production. It synthesizes and augments earlier efforts on traditional production of mezcal and pulque as sustainable industries today. It is beyond the scope of this endeavor to even touch upon the historical utilization of agave, or its current uses unrelated to making fermented beverages and mezcal. It remains a work in progress and is by no means meant to be the definitive or a complete statement on the theme. Finally, the reader should be aware that it does presuppose a basic knowledge of traditional production of mezcal and pulque in Oaxaca.

(SPOT.ph) How brave of Oakwood Premiere to hold a Pasta Festival at this point in time, when a huge chunk of Manila has deemed carbohydrates the enemy. You cannot blame them; when you're armed with a special menu of excellent pasta dishes from Executive Chef Jerome Cartailler, brave is what you become.
Tagged Pasta E Basta, which means "nothing else but pasta" in Italian, the special menu consists of 10 pasta dishes to choose from, which are all served with a cup of minestrone soup and rosemary foccacia.
We were able to try four of the 10 dishes on offer, and if anything, it's a month-long feast of huge flavors. They remain loyal to Italian flavors, yes, but Oakwood has taken a lot of inspiration from other places like the Mediterranean region and even deep-South Louisiana, as well.
Taking front and center is Hot Jammin (P550), which is a homemade tricolor, tomato-based parpadelle topped with jerk chicken, Palermo (which is a mishmash of Italian sausages), and parma ham. The jerk chicken, sausages, and parma ham assures any diner of a spicy explosion.
The Gnocchi Gorgonzola (P600) is a treat for any Cheese enthusiast. It's al forno pasta on a plate of Italian blue cheese and walnut cream. We especially like how the strong blue cheese is nicely tempered so you get something nice, rich, and cheesy instead of the blue cheese deluge.
The Capellini (P595) won't wow you with complicated highfaluting flavors-it's tomato-based angel hair, after all-but it will most definitely bring you back to your comfort zone. Tomato, along with asparagus, smoked salmon, broccoli florets and Pecorino cheese, the Capellini is a straightforward pasta dish that we all know and love.
The Spaghetti Veneto (P550) is a very tasty squid ink fettucine, thanks to chunks of sea bass, artichoke, clams, and roasted garlic. While the fettucini may be a tad too thick, especially on a date-careful twisting the noodles around your fork- we get why it must be fettucini. It is big enough to wrap the flavors around it.
The biggest surprise, however, is dessert. Black and White (P495) it's called, the dessert is, of course, still pasta. The Black and White, called such because it is chocolate and vanilla Tortellini, is surprisingly light. It sits on a bed of Semifreddo, which makes the ensemble taste and feel more delicate than it already is. So light is this dish that you forget you had a plateful of carbs earlier; you may even find yourself considering having another go at it, this time with coffee. We suggest you do.

Q: Как вывести не статическую информацию в методе .replace? JS Я загрузил текстовый файл через input и через метод replace создал объекто-подобный текст и разделил их на отдельные объекты, но в итоге получил кучу объектов с одинаковой переменной:

Как видите, каждый объект имеет одну и ту же переменную. Могу ли я как то добавить Уникальный ID для каждой новой переменной? Пробовал через цикл, но цикл уходил в бесконечность, Возможно что то не так написал в коде. Буду благодарен даже за совет , куда стоит копать. Спасибо!

A: Фунция replace может принимать фунцию
str.replace(regexp|substr, newSubStr|function[, flags])
У функции есть такие аргументы:
function replacer(match, p1, p2, p3, offset, string) {
  // match - найденное
  // p1 - группа 1, p2 - группа 2, p3 - группа 3 ...
  return [p1, p2, p3].join(' - ');
}

let a = 'a a a a';
let count = 0;
a = a.replace(/a/gi, function(t){
  const res = `object${count}`;
  count++;
  return res;
});

console.log(a)

It seems as though we have crammed an entire summer into just a couple weekends, and it has been worth every single moment. This weekend was no different and was exactly what our family needed to close out the summer adventures! Check out how we ended our summer and gain some ideas on how you can too!
We were supposed to be in Disney this past weekend, but my grandparents needed help clearing out brush, deadfall and creating a space for family to come camp on their property. Naturally, we pushed our Disney trip up and made sure that we were there to help grandma and grandpa out with their beautiful Colorado mountain real estate!
We had three days (2 half days and 1 whole day) to clear about an acre of land, build a wall between property lines and enjoy some great family time. We all came together and were able to get a lot accomplished and have some end of summer fun too!. The wall is still a work in progress, but it is looking great so far and in the next year it will be really awesome!
While the men were working (sterotypical right…), the women were also…working. Look people, raising kids and cooking in the mountains is not for the faint of heart…throw 6 large dogs in the mix and you are up for a challenge. The ladies did our fair share but we also made sure that our kids were having an epic time. The littlest learned to ride his first ATV and was such a crack up when he figured out how to push the button.
The oldest and I also wanted to enjoy some ATV time so we took off on a little adventure. First, we packed our Danimals yogurts to go and some waters and headed out for a little mother-son time on the trails. I love Danimals because they are a quick and delicious snack that we can take anywhere.
They are great for camping and keep well as long as they are in a cooler or camper fridge. They are full of calcium and vitamin D which we all know are super important for kiddos growth and they are tasty too! The price point at Walmart is perfect as well and I love the 12 packs that come with a good variety of flavors. Our kids love the strawberry and watermelon flavors!
We stayed on the well maintained trails because this mama still needs to take it easy, but we were able to really enjoy the scenery and each others company. I think my little guy needed some mom time because his sister has been pretty demanding lately.
Next, we stopped for a yogurt break and my son notified me that this was the exact spot that him and his dad had saw a moose that morning. I was immediately jealous because I have never seen a moose and this 7 year old of mine has now seen three. Moose or no moose, that view is amazing.
A little ways down the trails we found some friendly horses who also wanted some yogurt. Not kidding, they were trying to go after his Danimals the entire time we were over there. The horses were super sweet and you could tell that they really loved people. We kept our distance but they were quick to follow us along the fence line and let us know that they were there.
No summer camping trip is complete without a little BB gun competition. My little man is getting really good at aiming and I am so proud of the responsibility and pride he takes in handling his gun and being safe. He also whooped us all at the competition!
We ended our last night camping with some delicious s'mores and of course the kids had their Danimals in hand as we enjoyed a fun and colorful fire. It was a great way to send summer off and awesome to be with family. We were able to accomplish everything that we came up there to do and spend time with each other. Everyone got some time for fun in and we cannot wait to get back up there for even more!
Check out more of our summer and backyard craziness here. Bonus points if you catch the puppy in on this video!


A Tree is Nice by Janice May Udry and illustrated by Marc Simont won the 1957 Caldecott medal. It's a celebration of trees and why they are nice.
The reasons listed are simple things like "they fill up the sky" to fun ones like you "can roll in its leaves." They provide shade for animals and homes for bird nests. And so forth.
The illustrations in each page spread alternated between line drawings and one watercolor illustrations. It's an usual but eye please combination. See the blog post at No Big Dill for examples of both.
As there's not much in the way of plot for this book, Harriet and I read the book once. Then we went back and looked at the illustrations and talked about the trees around we live.

I was very weary leaving my 85k Range Rover after hearing the horror stories, however my experience was brilliant, I had no issues whatsoever and I was not kept waiting. My tracker was switched on I was monitoring it each day whilst I was away, and my car was not driven at all. I would recommend this company to anyone.
Brilliant service ... great location (for terminal) and good price... Very happy, Many thanks!!
Very good service, simple and straightforward. Would use again.
Excellent service. Have used this service numerous times and always found the staff friendly and the service efficient. Both pick up and collection went well.
This was a perfect experience. On arrival at the terminal the driver was waiting and very polite. The keys were handed over and a receipt was given to us. Two weeks later when we returned, we contacted the company as detailed on their documents and the car was waiting for us in the short stay car park. I've used meet n great services before and this was one of the best. So good, we're using it again in April and again in May. Great service and a great company to deal with. Highly recommended.

Comparison of Viagra, Levitra, Cialis
Which one is better? I will answer the question. Currently, there are three types of ED treatments: Viagra, Levitra, and Cialis. For over 20 years after Viagra was released, the only ED treatment was Viagra, so I wasn't confused about the choice, but if there are three types as it is now, which one is better? How should I use it? I've come to hear a lot of voices saying I don't understand. Therefore, it is easy to understand, and a comparison of each ED treatment drug is summarized in the table. Since there is a difference between the effect of food and the onset time and action time, it is good to use it properly depending on the situation. Basically, Viagra, Levitra, and Cialis all work within an hour, so it's okay to take them one hour before the act. Viagra is a good choice for name and security, Levitra 20mg for speed and strength, and Cialis 20mg for long-term action and easy to use. Cialis is recommended if you eat on a date and cannot measure the time to act, or if you want to make the drug work untill the following day. The duration of action of the drug doesn't mean staying erected during that time, but means the time of erection in response to a stimulus, so there is no need to worry about the duration of action for being too long and it does not interfere with daily life.

I have been in development for over 14 years now and still every day is a school day. Everyday I'm faced with a puzzle that I can get my teeth into and create a solution for. I have worked with some great people and great brands in my time and hope to continue to produce great work.
My path to becoming a developer is a windy one. I started out doing an art foundation course after my A-levels. It doesn't sound too weird until I tell you I did Maths, Physics and Chemistry which is a bit of a change, but it doesn't stop there.
After my year as an artist I decided to go to University and do 3D motion graphics degree but after my first year I found the web and started playing with flash and html. Tables where all the rage back then. Once I started working in action script I haven't really looked back. My progression led me to PHP and all the technologies I am using today.
If I'm not writing code I enjoy going to the gym, playing squash, unfortunately only watching rugby these days and snowboarding. It's a good job Zeal is full of snow loving folk.

Farewell to Hull House
The Jane Addams Hull House Association shut its doors last week. The Chicago Tribune detailed the organization's financial troubles:
Jane Addams Hull House Association will be out of business Friday, leaving employees and clients scrambling to fill a void the 122-year-old organization will leave. * * *
On Jan. 19, the agency announced it would close this spring. But by the following day, Saunders said, the board realized Hull House did not have enough funds to pay employees beyond January, and the decision was made to close in a week.
With government funding taking a hit and the need for services climbing, Hull House's revenue dropped from $40 million in 2001 to just $23 million in June.
"We could not possibly raise enough money to sustain the organization," Saunders said.
Read the full article here. The Association offered services to victims of domestic violence, senior citizens, small businesses and youth.
The Jane Addams Hull House Museum, a separate entity (and part of the College of Architecture & the Arts at the University of Illinois at Chicago), is not closing. Here's how the Museum describes the importance of Hull House in American History:
Founded in 1889 as a social settlement, Hull-House played a vital role in redefining American democracy in the modern age. Addams and the residents of Hull-House helped pass critical legislation and influenced public policy on public health and education, free speech, fair labor practices, immigrants' rights, recreation and public space, arts, and philanthropy. Hull-House has long been a center of Chicago's political and cultural life, establishing Chicago's first public playground and public art gallery, helping to desegregate the Chicago Public Schools, and influencing philanthropy and culture.
For more on Jane Addams and Hull House, a few books come to mind: Jane Addams, Twenty Years at Hull-House (1910); James Weber Linn, Jane Addams: A Biography (1935); Louise W. Knight, Jane Addams: Spirit in Action (2010) and Jean Bethke Elshtain ed., The Jane Addams Reader (2002).

A royal palace, a prince, and a very propah rani. That's hardly the right place for a vibrant, quirky, almost boho clothes. But then there's the movie Khoobsurat and Sonam Kapoor pulling off the most outrageous looks in this high-society setting.
Sonam Kapoor plays Dr Milli Chakravarty in Khoobsurat, and her hard-to-miss outfits will get your fashion radar beeping. There are quirky colours and prints, perfectly complimenting her candid dialogues. Karuna Laungani, who has designed costumes for Sonam Kapoor in Khoobsurat , explains how it all came together.
How did you go about creating the look for Sonam Kapoor in Khoobsurat?
I was inspired by her character Milli- she's a very unique personality. She doesn't care what the world thinks of her, and is bit of a tomboy. But she's also feminine, a bit Indian and modern. Her look is therefore a bit androgynous mixed with prints. She has lots of things running though her mind at a time, which shows on her clothes. So she would probably end up in a pair of mismatched socks!
What did you keep in mind while designing Sonam Kapoor's look?
The director Shashanka Ghosh's brief was clear—Milli needed to stand out. The movie is mostly set in a royal palace, so everyone and everything there is very proper. With her kooky persona, the reaction she is mostly likely to elicit from people is: "OMG, what is she wearing?!" But Milli carries off the look and makes it her own. Sonam's look by itself may not make sense, but with her character's personality, it all falls together.
So what is Sonam wearing in Khoobsurat?
Since Milli she expresses herself with what she wears, I've played around with androgyny that's mixed with Indian prints. There is also plenty of layering, and mixing of colours and prints. Since she's eccentric and experimental, she may not wear a typical salwar-kurta. Instead she'll wear dhoti pants and a Rajsthani patchwork jacket. And she'll wear boxers with cute onesies as nightwear.
Where did you source Sonam Kapoor's costumers from?
The sourcing was too much fun! We got to try a whole range of brands, looks and designers with all sorts of garments and accessories. I sourced a lot from Indian designers like Anupama Dayal, Karishma Shahani, and Pero (for scarves). From high Street, I chose Bhane for basics, and other brands like Vero Moda, Only, Zara and Asos. Her sneakers are from Adidas, worn with Happy Socks.
Milli's accessories are fun, just like her. She wears Adidas sneakers throughout the film, they're very sporty! You will also see her in jootis (since she's living in Rajasthan) and her red watch. You would have already seen her maroon oversized spectacle frames in the posters and trailers. When it comes to jewellery, she's wearing sensible studs (she's a physiotherapist after all!), and there's an arm party happening with lots of arm bracelets and arm bands! She probably got them on Friendship Day from her student days.
What is the one trend that you think stands out in the movie?
The Workout Look. Since Milli is a physiotherapist, she needs to wear practical clothes for working out. But she has fun even with her active wear. So she ends up wearing pink or blue tights with a striped sports bra, and interesting bomber jackets with floral prints.
What is the one thing you would to steal from Milli's wardrobe?
EVERYTHING!! I like prints, colours, Indian textiles, and I love mixing everything up so it's really difficult to say. But if I had to pick just one thing, I'd choose her sneakers.
What is your favourite look from Khoobsurat?
It's already on the poster. It's a purple and pink cropped sweater with checked pants. Also, I like the dhoti pants with a blouse and blue shrug, with purple aviataors. It's such a cool Indo-western look.
What advice would you give anyone who wants to take inspiration from Milli?
Think out of the box. You can clash prints and mix them up, or wear a fun tunic or kurta with denim and sneakers. You could try a printed skirt and printed blouse, but make sure they go together. It's nice to wear Indian-inspired accessories (like silver jewellery) with skirts and shorts or even shirts. Electrical blue skirts would look great with sneakers and Indian kurtas.
All you need is the right attitude, and should know your style constraints. Of course, good taste in putting things together really helps. Most importantly, think about your personal style and what works for you and your body.
What was it like working with Sonam Kapoor, a fashion icon?
Sonam is an actor first, then a fashion icon. For her, it was getting into the skin of the character above anything else. She was very sporting and I loved how she could make every look work. She kind of inspires you to push the edge and try to do better. So when I would hesitate, she would say, "Come on, add another layer to this look", and voila! It would look great.
Khoobsurat releases September 19 in cinemas across India.
Get stylish casuals to dressy club wear at Vero Moda this Spring / Summer. They've got a wide colour palette (bright fuchsia, mint green, white) in simple easy-to-wear silhouettes. The prints include two-tone bold stripes, ombre effects, tie and dye and the ever-popular florals.
Detailing includes beading, with lace and neon hints on lightweight and sheer fabrics like silk, satin and organza.
PS—British model Poppy Delevingne is the face of Vero Moda for 2013, chosen for her fresh look and easy elegance.
The "True Summer Look": Lots of soft hues in pinks, whites and washed blues, seen on light fabrics.
Updated Florals: They're on dresses, tops, pants and shorts—but get a 2013 summery twist with the new colour palette.
Black and White: This classic combo gets a bold edge at Vero Moda from Spring/ Summer 2013, with larger-than-life stripes and prints.
Shopping News: Phoenix Market city opens in Kurla, but will we see new brands?
The mall Mumbai shopaholics have been waiting for is now open! Phoenix Market City had a quiet inauguration last week, and our fashion radar tells us that a few stores and restaurants are open (no specifics yet, but I'll update you as soon as I know more).
Phoenix Market City is technically not located in a "prime" shopping area—it's in Kurla, but it's huge. With retail area of over 16 lakh square feet, wonderful atrium for special events, and an Adlabs multiplex, this mini-city is bound to get shoppers from all over Mumbai.
As for the fashion brands that will open at Phoenix Market City, I expect the usual suspects like Zara, Mango, Benetton, and the rest of the gang to open there. After all, there will be plenty of room for everyone. BTW, we have confirmation that Vero Moda and AND have opened at Phoenix Market City.
While a new mall is always good news, I really wonder if Mumbai needs another one. Especially if it's going to be like any other mall.
What would really excite me is if we get some new brands, concept stores or a new whole new look. Things we haven't seen before, stores we haven't explored before. And of course, the mall's layout would play a huge role in deciding whether Phoenix Market City will be a comfortable place to shop and hang around. I don't want this mall to be yet another giant structure that looks like every other mall, only larger.
What say, shopping lovers and mall rats? Anyone been to Mumbai's Phoenix Market City yet?
The classic sweater is comfy, soft and available in a range of colours.
Wear it different: Sweaters can be fun. If you like colours, opt for jumpers in pop colours or with patterns.
The buttoned V-neck and round-neck cardigan is a winter essential for both men and women. Dark colours are especially great for the incredibly short days and long nights.
Wear it different: The "unbuttoned" cardigan (aka "cover-up") is a chic way to show off your top below or keep it casual. Think kimono-style cardigans with no buttons, cardigans with in-built belts and loosely worn cover-ups.
Long sleeves, muted colours, simple patterns and a hint of detailing—that's a winter dress.
Wear it different: Try a knitted or crocheted dress with feminine frills like lace or other sheer fabric.
How are you wearing your woollens this winter—the basic way or with a twist?
Fashion designer Priyadarshini Rao and her husband Jaydeep Shetty have a new baby—Mineral. This ready-to-wear label made its runway debut at Lakme Fashion Week Summer/Resort 2011, and bids goodbye to fashion seasons (its tag line is "no more seasons"). The focus is on bringing postmodern, versatile and stylish fashion to Indian women.
Priyadarshini Rao talks to Speaking Chic about Mineral, seasonless fashion and the Indian fashion scene.
What's the story behind the Mineral concept?
I've seen the evolution in the Indian fashion industry over the past 15 years, and even though retail has become significant, Indian designers are largely focussing on wedding, trousseau and bridal wear. There is a pressing need for affordable, good-looking fashion, for both impulse and pre-meditated purchases. The brands that have come in from foreign countries focus on western wear for Indian women. Indian women do like to wear good, sophisticated clothing, but not necessarily spend Rs 5000-10,000 per outfit. At Mineral, we realise this, and address this need.
What's the idea behind "no more seasons" at Mineral?
We've become used to the idea of fashion seasons, though in Indian cities like Mumbai seasons don't matter, and don't make sense to people. Hence the idea behind seasonless fashion, though this doesn't mean that the clothes in the stores won't change. Our mission is to provide something classic and stylish that will last beyond six months. We focus on a great product, that is wash- and heat-friendly, and will be cherished for a few years.
What has been your key learning from your earlier retail experience with Shoppers' Stop and Sepia?
There is a lot of learning everytime you do something new. In Shoppers' Stop, I realised that unless you give your 100 percent, you can't do well. At that time [2008-09], it was tough to sell clothes in the price range Rs 3000-6000. I worked on Sepia in its formative year; it started well and people related to it. I'm in charge of product and will not dilute quality—will raise it like my own child. With Jaydeep's 18 years of retail experience, we know which way we want to go, though we know that mistakes do happen.
How is Mineral different from your eponymous label?
Priyadarshini Rao is clearly a different product from Mineral, and I've pushed it to the level of luxury pret. It's got my aesthetics and signature, with a lot of fusion wear and the garments are priced between Rs 10,000 and 15,000. A woman may buy a "Priyadarshini Rao" product three to four times a year, for special occasions, even as she buys Mineral 10, maybe 20 times, a year.
Who is the Mineral woman?
She is a working woman trying to balance her home and office. She's well-read, connected and travelled. While she's not too much into fashion, she wants stylish clothing and looks for garments to wear to meetings and other places without needing to change thrice a day. The woman who comes to Mineral to buy understands what looks good on her, and often buys 3-4 garments at a time.
Which brands do you consider competition?
The competition is tough now with some Indian brands. In terms of quality I'd consider brands like Vero Moda, Esprit and Tommy Hilfiger as competition. While Zara concentrates on fast fashion, and Mango is kind of high fashion, Mineral is more about core fashion such as a linen shirt.
What are the challenges you face at Mineral, considering it's a new venture?
We have our own design team and we produce smaller lots, which makes production more expensive. Our design team is always on its toes, and keep their fingers on the pulse of the Mineral customer. Luckily, the team is deeply committed and involved in the product, and we realise how important it is to keep things moving, and to keep customers coming. We introduce 15-20% change to our collection every 6-8 weeks.
Mineral's flagship store is at Infiniti Mall, Malad (Mumbai). Also available at select Central and Shoppers' Stop stores. Prices range from Rs 800-2500.
Great for work and play, and versatile enough to be worn in several ways. Go casual with jeans, flats and an eye-catching clutch or wear it to office with tiny earrings or pearls and a formal office tote.
Below: white shirt from French Connection.
Capris, three-fourths and cropped pants are just what we need for summer! They're available in a range of colours this season from the basics to the brights, and the latter are perfect to spice up the drabbest of looks. Get them printed or plain.
If you've got great gams, flaunt 'em! Cotton and linen ones will be comfiest for summer, and are great for casual outings and lounging at home. Dress them up a bit by pairing with a nice blouse, and you're set for a movie with friends.
Put your leather boots in your closet for the next few months, and shop for some fun flip-flops, flats and chappals. They're everywhere, from the high-end stores to local street markets.
Fashion glossies say hemlines are longer this season (think maxis), but that doesn't mean we ignore the minis. Wear sheath mini skirts with fun blouses and simple detailing, or with an over-sized tee.
Below: Pink blouse from Vero Moda, orange tee from Zara.
What are you shopping for this summer?
TGIF—yup, it's that day of the week again. If you're confused about weekend plans, let Speaking Chic be your guide.
Chic Thing No 1: Gear up for summer!
Its' getting warmer, so it's time to do some spring cleaning. Purge your wardrobe of clothes that really really need to be discarded: the sweatshirt you wore almost every week in the past few months, or the sweater you've had for years. Then reward yourself with a trip to your favourite store or mall for a spot of window shopping. New collections are in stores (Esprit, French Connection, Vero Moda, Chemistry), so take a look at the trends before you decide on the clothes you really really want this summer.
Chic Thing No 2: Get straight silky hair, go to Lakme fashion week!
Lakme Fashion Week starts March 11, and it's going to be fashionable fun! Not got an invite to fashion week? Not a problem—just visit any Lakmé Salon or Studio in Mumbai, ask for the Sleek Mystique service. If you're one of the first 500 customers, you could get into one of the LFW fashion shows!
It's simple actually—every time someone buys one of two Giorgio Armani fragrances (Acqua di Gio and Acqua di Gioia), they generate a donation of 100 litres of drinking water per year to children and their communities.
Once you buy the perfume, you can log on to Facebook's Acqua for Life application, enter the code on the perfume carton, and build your own community with friends.
FYI, this campaign was showcased at Giorgio Armani's Fall/Winter 2011 show at Milan Fashion Week recently. The Acqua for Life project is part of Armani's partnership with Green Cross International and the Unicef Tap Water Project. (Hey, this is a great piece of trivia the next time you want to silence a pretentious hobnobber).

Podcast: "Dollars and Change" interviews Alan Murray of Fortune and TIME Inc
In this episode of "Dollars and Change," hosts Nick Ashburn and Sandi Hunt talk with Alan Murray, President of Fortune and Chief Content Officer at Time Inc., to discuss the important role the press plays in advancing the dialogue for businesses to do social good, as well as his perspective on the growing interest in "doing well by doing good".
Murray shares his observations of how businesses are increasingly doing well by doing good through spearheading the Fortune and Time's the CEO Initiative, a day-long meeting that brings top business leaders around the world to discuss purpose in business.
"It became clear to me 4-5 years ago that there was this growing concern about public trust and confidence in business," said Murray when asked about the start of the CEO Initiative, "that economic progress and business progress was aligned with social progress."
In other words, there was a feeling in the developed world that the business system wasn't working the way it's supposed to be.
However, it has become clear to Murray that businesses have started to take note and interest in harnesses the power to do good things. "The starting point of any business is purpose first. What can I do to solve people's problems and then build a business around that?"

As most you will know if you're signed up to receive our email alerts, I've taken over from Mark Magee as your Registrar. I'm looking forward to working with you all and continuing to make our roads some of the safest in the world.
I joined the Driving Standards Agency (as it was then) in 2004 and have worked in Information Assurance, Policy, and Communications before becoming Deputy CBT Register Manager in 2012 and taking over as Deputy ADI Registrar in 2014.
I wanted to give you some information on why instructors might fail their standards check, so you can better prepare yourself for your own standards check.
During your standards check, your examiner will be looking for evidence that you meet the national standards for driver and rider training.
The 17 areas of competence are listed in the ADI standards check form, which the examiner will assess during your check. Look at these before you take your standards check, so you know what the examiner will be assessing.
The standards check replaced the old ADI check test on 7 April 2014. After it had been running for 3 months, we analysed the results to understand which areas most people were failing on, so that we could help people focus their training in those areas.
We have repeated the exercise this year, analysing data from over 2,000 standards checks.
If you fail the standards check, the examiner will recommend that you seek further development from an instructor trainer.
If we fail a standards check should it not be up to you at the DVSA to help us. We pay the DVSA to be on your register but then you tell us to go find an instructor trainer, surely if we are failing your test then you should give us the remidal training to put us back on track, if not what are we paying the DVSA for?
Excellent information - will be used in the new booklet we are preparing. It never ceases to amaze me how many ADIs go for their appointment completely unprepared and then wonder why they fail.
Instructors would not fail their check test if they would just treat it as another lesson and do what they normally do and not put an act on.
The problem is were they given the correct training in the first place.
one of the best articles the DVSA have put out in a long time and full of information that can be used. Jane Taylor you are correct ADi's are not prepared enough and do not look at what themselves anywhere near as much as they should. Top Tip guys is to use a reflective log it helps with the lesson planning.
Excellent information given. I booked a few lessons with a qualified trainer before my check test and it helped me understand exactly what was needed from me for passing it.
Could we have a similar subject for motorcycle instructors? It seems that every time we get assessed the DVSA have changed the way they wasnt is to do things but don't tell us. We are supposed to provide Compulsory BASIC training, but our DVSA overwatch seem to treat us as of we should be providing advanced training.
We should be teaching them how to keep themselves safe on the road, Not trying to ascertain whether or not they should put in a lifesaver check - they have enough to think about if it's their first time on the roads.
Very useful information and I don't feel alone as a self employed because I know you are here to support me?

Q: Problem with creating multiple OBX segments in Mirth Connect I have DB from where I'm getting my data of measurements. This is my code for looping through my measurements and adding them to OBX segments:

//getting MeasurementsData
    var data = msg['measurements_measurement_data'].toString();
    logger.info(data);

    //inserting data in dictionary
    var dictMeasurements = {};
    for (var measurement in data) {
        dictMeasurements[measurement] = data[measurement];
    }

    var dictSize = Object.keys(dictMeasurements).length;
    var measureResult;
    var measureType;
    var counter = 1;

    //Creating OBX measurements segments
    while (counter <= dictSize) {
        for (var key in dictMeasurements) {
            //measure and result of measure
            measureType = key;
            measureResult = dictMeasurements[key];

            createSegment('OBX', tmp, counter);

            tmp['OBX'][counter]['OBX.1']['OBX.1.1'] = counter;
            //ST-string or NM-numeric
            tmp['OBX'][counter]['OBX.2']['OBX.2.1'] = isNumeric(measureResult);
            tmp['OBX'][counter]['OBX.3']['OBX.3.1'] = ('ABI.' + measureType);
            tmp['OBX'][counter]['OBX.3']['OBX.3.2'] = measureType;
            tmp['OBX'][counter]['OBX.5']['OBX.5.1'] = measureResult;
            tmp['OBX'][counter]['OBX.11']['OBX.11.1'] = 'F';
            counter++;
        }
    }

If I run this code locally, it returns what I want (measurement type and its result), like:
cuffSizeArmLeft
1
cuffSizeArmRight
1
diaArmLeft
66
diaArmRight
66
But when I run it on MirthConnect chanel I get every letter from measure type in it's own column:
ST|ABI.0^0||{||||||F
OBX|2|ST|ABI.1^1||"||||||F
OBX|3|ST|ABI.2^2||c||||||F
OBX|4|ST|ABI.3^3||u||||||F
OBX|5|ST|ABI.4^4||f||||||F
OBX|6|ST|ABI.5^5||f||||||F
OBX|7|ST|ABI.6^6||S||||||F
OBX|8|ST|ABI.7^7||i||||||F
OBX|9|ST|ABI.8^8||z||||||F
OBX|10|ST|ABI.9^9||e||||||F
OBX|11|ST|ABI.10^10||A||||||F
OBX|12|ST|ABI.11^11||r||||||F
OBX|13|ST|ABI.12^12||m||||||F
OBX|14|ST|ABI.13^13||L||||||F
OBX|15|ST|ABI.14^14||e||||||F
OBX|16|ST|ABI.15^15||f||||||F
OBX|17|ST|ABI.16^16||t||||||F
OBX|18|ST|ABI.17^17||"||||||F

*

*and my key in for loop is returning some numbers instead of measurement type, like it does locally.

This is similar question, but it didn't helped me.
Creating OBX segments from multiple DB rows
My another problem is that my function "isNumeric", is always returning a ST(string) instead a NM(numeric) type. Locally runs perfect.

function isNumeric(result) {
    var reg = /^\d*\.?\d+$/;
    if (typeof(result) == 'number') { return 'NM'; }
    else { return 'ST'; }
}

console.log(isNumeric(140));  //return NM
console.log(isNumeric('test')); //return ST

Thanks for your help!

Did you know that before being a medical practice, this iconic building was a famous live music venue? During its heyday in the 1970's, it played host to some of the biggest bands of the decade, including AC DC, The Dingoes, Spectrum, Skyhooks and Cold Chisel. The venue was also the setting for the extremely rare, 1976 vinyl LP, "Live At The Station Hotel."


When is a quantum space not a group?
We give a survey of techniques from quantum group theory which can be used to show that some quantum spaces (objects of the category dual to the category of C*-algebras) do not admit any quantum group structure. We also provide a number of examples which include some very well known quantum spaces. Our tools include several purely quantum group theoretical results as well as study of existence of characters and traces on C*-algebras describing the considered quantum spaces as well as properties such as nuclearity.

As the days of our modern world whirl about us, every simple task seems to become more complicated, and Valentine's Day is no exception. Any simple box of chocolates and flowers once would do, but now the candy shelves are packed with choices ranging from the inane to the mundane to the insane. Puzzled over what to pick? No need to worry– the Candy Wrapper Museum is here to serve as your guide to what's hot.
These are oh, so 2013.
First, let's back up and look at what was on trend last year: all things smart phones and apps. The world was going ape over apps. Why say, "I Love You" when "<3 Ya!" will suffice? People are busy– let's not waste time! Say it with an emoticon or don't say it at all.
This year, the app craze with all its wee details has vanished and has been replaced with something big—BIG boxes. Perhaps the most laughable and/or disturbing are the "torso boxes" by Elmer Chocolates (modeled above to show scale by Yours Truly). Who wouldn't love this? The men's box takes things to the next level by depicting a torso that is evocative of other… shall we say… masculine parts of the body?
Reflect the timeless quality of your love with one of today's passing fads.
Meanwhile, Frankford delivers with tributes to two of last year's most annoying crazes, the "Keep Calm" and "Moustache" fads. Hurry to snap these up because chances are they won't be around next year. I also saw moustache suckers on the shelves if you prefer to make your romantic statement that way, but it's hard to top "Eye moustache you to be my Valentine." As I write, I find myself confused about the bow. Is it part of the rebus? If so, the message is "Eye moustache you to be my Valentine beau." Well, no need to overthink this. Nobody else is.
One devastatingly romantic way to express your love.
Love 'em or hate 'em, the Duck Dynasty guys survived scandal and are here to offer you this unbridled romantic offering. Will we see more candy from them next year? Stranger things have happened, but you might want to heed the duck call and get this happy happy happy candy while supplies last, Jack. Remember, when it comes to love, war, and candy, the #1 rule is there are NO RULES.
Images of death and declarations of "Just Friends" are options for expressing yourself.
Some trends have persisted over the last few years. One is candy for romantic also-rans. I realize that the BFF! candy might indeed be an innocent gift for a friend, but I can't help hearing the awful squishy sound the recipient's heart being crushed when he or she receives this, and the nature of the relationship is made crystal clear with a big exclamation point. And although I know some people who would enjoy receiving a black box of candy with a skull and headphones (a sure sign of isolation) on it, this doesn't appear on the surface to be the most encouraging token of affection on this day of romantic days.
The gift for the woman who makes your life a living hell?
For those henpecked guys who must buy something for their woman but want to make a subversive statement at the same time, I suggest the devil woman Altoids. It looks pretty, but it's a nice way to suggest that something smells in this relationship, and it sure ain't you.
Yes, there is indeed a rich spectrum of offerings this year to spark new relationships, stoke a fire under existing ones, squash one-sided loves, hedge on romances on the brink, and say nothing when that is better than saying anything at all.
If none of these offerings grab you, you might prefer these tins available at Target. Cute robots, pugs, chicks, googly eyes, puns, and candy hearts are there for your picking. Cute, sweet, and that is all. I'll take all three. Now the big question is: what am I going to do with all this candy?!

Tregothnan Tea - A Truly English Tea
Posted by Cornish Hampers on July 10, 2016
The ultimate Cornish cream tea wouldn't be complete without Tregothnan Tea. Grown in the perfect conditions on the Boscawen family's ancient Cornish Estate and on Tregothnan land throughout South Cornwall, it is the world's first true English tea.
What is Tregothnan tea?
The tea – Camellia sinensis – thrives on English soil, giving us the first version of Britain's favourite drink made on its own land, as opposed to ordinary English breakfast tea, which is just the name of the particular blend.
What is the history behind Tregothnan tea?
Tregothnan was the home to the first outdoor camellias in the nineteenth century, as a result of the Boscawen family's passion for growing rare plants. Since then a tea plantation was established in 1999, which would go on to provide the first ever tea native to the UK. Developing this special tea has not been easy. A freak storm practically wiped out most of the plants a few years after they were established, but the estate has persevered resulting in a successful range of teas created in Cornwall.
How does Tregothnan tea grow in Britain?
Tregothnan have had to carefully consider how to produce tea in the particular microclimate found at their estate on the banks of the River Fal. The climate is moderated by the Atlantic Ocean. The humid air loses its damaging saltiness and mimics the high foothills of the Himalayas.
Tregothnan have studied tea from around the world, taking in success stories as well as failures, to build the wealth of knowledge needed to establish a successful tea plantation. They have been careful to create small tea gardens to minimise the risk of disease and monitor their plants at all times to create a suitable annual cycle and are still learning what makes a good and what makes a bad tea year. Too much cold weather at the wrong time of year has been found to be unhelpful! They plant around 6,000 new tea bushes every October and then picking begins in the spring.
How does Tregothnan tea taste?
The tea made purely from Camellia sinensis leaves has a light and delicate taste. The refined flavour of Tregothnan's English breakfast tea doesn't necessarily pack a punch, but is a quality, natural taste developed using the finest ingredients. The tea is made using only natural oils, which aren't always as strong in flavour as synthetic equivalents, and no extra tannin is added which artificially deepens the colour and flavour of tea. The leaves grown by Tregothnan are also mixed with other varieties to produce of different tea blends and herbal infusions.
Where can you buy Tregothnan tea?
Tregothnan tea can be found in delicatessens and farm shops across the country as well as Waitrose supermarkets. The tea can also be purchased directly from Tregothnan and features in some of Cornish Hampers' delicious cream tea hampers!
Tregothnan tea can be found in our afternoon tea by the sea hamper.

WATCH: Trump's 70-pound enviro mic drop

During his speech at the Department of Transportation Friday, President Trump brought on stage part of a 70-pound environmental report to showcase the burdensome regulations that developers have to deal with when trying to commence infrastructure projects.
— Mic (@mic) June 9, 2017
The president visited the Transportation Department Friday as part of his goal to advance infrastructure reform. He pushed for a deregulatory policy so that the U.S. can better compete and "once again be the envy of the world."
President Trump argued that it takes years, and sometimes decades, for transportation projects to receive the permitting needed to break ground on construction.
He explained:
As one example, and this happened just 30 minutes ago, I was sitting with a great group of people responsible for their state's economic development and roadways, all of you are in the room now, and one gentleman from Maryland was talking about a 18-mile road, and he brought with him some of the approvals that they have gotten and paid for. They spent $29 million for an environmental report weighing 70 pounds and costing $24,000 per page. And I said, 'Do me a favor, I'll make a speech in a little while. Do you mind if I take that and show it?' So I'm going to show it.
While delivering his remarks, the president announced that he has established a new White House office in the Council of Environmental Quality to advance "massive permit reform" so that private developers can clear the federal bureaucracy.
"This Council will also improve transparency by creating a new online dashboard allowing everyone to easily track major projects through every stage of the approval process," the president said, adding that it will "root out inefficiency, clarify lines of authority, and streamline federal, state and local procedures so that communities can modernize their aging infrastructure without fear of outdated federal rules getting in the way."
Trump pointed out that it only took one year to build the Empire State Building, four years to build the Golden Gate Bridge, and five years to build the Hoover Dam. "But today it can take 10 years just to get the approvals and permits needed to build a major infrastructure project," he exclaimed.
Reuters reports that the White House is proposing a $200 billion government program spread over ten years as part of an initiative to secure additional private funding for an infrastructure revitalization project totaling $1 trillion.

Luke Shaw's transfer to Manchester United stalls
By Kirsten SchlewitzMay 24, 2014, 9:11 AM EDT
It's been talked about so long, the deal almost seemed inevitable: Luke Shaw would start the 2014-2015 Premier League season as a Manchester United player.
But now, it seems, the deal is not as certain as many (especially many Manchester United fans) would like to believe.
Bringing in Shaw seemed necessary at the end of the season. Patrice Evra's contract was about to expire, he'd be off to Italy or France, and only Alex Büttner would remain. As such, before his sacking, David Moyes was already laying the groundwork for Shaw's transfer. United would meet Southampton's asking price of £30m (~$50m), and would offer the 18-year-old a salary of £100,000 per week (~$168,000).
However, on Friday Manchester United offered Patrice Evra a one-year contract extension, news that came as a surprise to many. Now, it could be that Louis van Gaal wants to keep the 33-year-old available as a backup. But many believe offering an extension to Evra was a sign things weren't going smoothly in United's pursuit of Shaw.
That, or van Gaal simply isn't interested in paying inflated prices for a teenager who's impressed with one strong season at Southampton. It's already been made clear that United's new coach will be shopping the Bundesliga for many of his transfers, where he can find talents at lower prices than those in the Premier League.
Then again, £30m for Shaw could be a steal, if United could hold on to him for, say, 15 years. Making that sort of investment would show they're not interested in just a superficial makeover at the club, but in really laying the groundwork for a successful future.

ONE YEAR ON: A Bulls and Rhinos game like no other
Rob Burrow plays one more time as Bradford and Leeds clash
By Nathan Atkinson @NathanA_TandA Reporter
GIVEN everything that has happened over the last 12 months, it is hard to believe that it is a whole year since arguably the most emotional game ever witnessed between Bradford Bulls and Leeds Rhinos.
January 12, 2020, saw a packed out Headingley host Rob Burrow and Jamie Jones-Buchanan's joint-benefit match, just weeks after the former confirmed he had been diagnosed with motor neurone disease.
The contest ended 34-10 to a clearly superior Leeds side, but the game was all about the legends who came on towards the end, whether they be Robbie Hunter-Paul and Stuart Fielden for Bulls, or Jones-Buchanan and Kevin Sinfield for Leeds.
But the biggest moment of the day came in the 76th minute, when Burrow ambled out on to the field.
A few neat passes showed the scrum half had not lost his touch with ball in hand, and it was a pleasure to witness.
There was a not a dry eye among the 20,000 or so Leeds and Bradford supporters after the game, as Burrow spoke of his honour at getting the chance to play, his voice clearly already ravaged by the effects of the incurable MND.
A video also played on the big screen after the game, showcasing the magnificent little half back's career highlights, of which there were so many.
Many have followed Burrow's plight over the last year, with interviews on national television showing the impact the disease is having on the 38-year-old.
Rob Burrow: My Year with MND was broadcast on the BBC in October and sadly showed how much the Yorkshireman's condition has deteriorated. He is largely confined to a wheelchair and is no longer able to speak.
But he has stayed positive throughout, and appears eternally grateful for the love and support of his young family, as well as a whole host of friends.
And one hopes, just like all those who were in attendance or watching on television, that Burrow will never forget the last time he stepped on to a rugby pitch and had the fans singing his name.
January 12, 2020, one of rugby league's greatest days.

Harrogate lap-dancing club told to fix panic buttons and record "rule-breaches" as licence renewed
The Kings Club on Oxford Street.
Lachlan Leeming
A well-known Harrogate lap-dancing club will have to fix panic buttons and keep a log of "rule breaches" by clients, as part of conditions imposed by Harrogate Borough Council.
The Kings Club, on Oxford Street, had an application for a renewal of their sexual entertainment licence approved by the council's licensing sub-committee earlier this month.
However, the panel of councillors who green-lighted the renewal imposed multiple new conditions on the lap-dancing club, including the fixing and maintenance of panic buttons for workers.
Harrogate lap-dancing club under fire for 'normalising objectification of women'
They also stipulated that a record of any rule breaches must be kept - with incidents to be logged including contact between dancers and customers, and any "self-stimulation" by clients.
The application for renewal briefly attracted controversy last month when members of anti-violence against women charity Press Red criticised the club, accusing it of "normalising the sexualisation and objectification of women".
"It makes me feel very sad and angry that a club like this exists in Harrogate, and it's wrong wherever it is - it's not a case of not in my town - it's a case of not in our world," Press Red head of development and Harrogate resident Laura Brett said.
In response, club owner Paul Kinsey stressed the business was a highly regulated environment where safety was paramount.
"A lot of people have an inaccurate and completely outdated impression of lap-dancing clubs, and what actually goes on in them," he said.

"But they are highly regulated environments, and we regularly liaise with police and the council and have regular inspections."
On the same day that The Kings Club renewal was approved, the sub-committee also granted permission for a temporary liquor licence for a section of the Stray.
The licence will enable the creation for West Stray UCI fan zone, created for the cycling championships set to hit the town in September.

Pex??? A or c. Copper rings???
(02-01-2019, 09:19 PM)Pirate Wrote: Curious about how you easily remove copper rings?
I know the tool has existed for years but I haven't found I needed one. I don't care for plastic fittings because they take away one of the advantages of PEX; it's freeze thaw stable. Plastic fittings are not. I re-use brass fittings. When I cut the PEX I leave at least 1/2" past the fitting to give me something to grab with pliers. A quick pass over a torch flame softens the PEX enough that it slides right out of the ring.
I just watched the video. The PEX is still on the fitting! I can promise you that a torch is faster and easier. Do you already have a torch and two pliers? Try it.
I ended up with the cooper ring style- bought the tool from Menard's. $80, includes 3/8, 1/2, 3/4 and one inch dies. The crimper holds one die at a time, so it is fairly easy to use in tight quarters. I did the small job ( moving a washer and dryer ) and had no issues at all. I am a fan of pex!
I think you mean Pex A or B. Pex A is uponor with the pex rings and Pex B used copper rings or stainless bands.

the tool to use them fits in much smaller spaces than the tool for crimp rings, at least of the two tools I've used.
