For nearly a year, Luna has been dealing with the death of her mother who was a famous model. When her movie-director father begins seeing someone new, Luna decides to pay a visit to her mother's studio which has been abandoned since her death. There, she finds her mom's cell phone with seven new voice mail messages on it. Luna opens the first one which starts her on an investigation into secrets her mother was keeping and what actually happened at the accident that caused her death. With the help of the boy across the street, Luna discovers many things about her mother and father that surprise her. This book has an intriguing premise and kept me interested throughout but I found myself annoyed when I finished because it didn't live up to my expectations. The author hints throughout the book that there is more to be discovered about Luna's mother but most of the revelations are done about halfway in. Several reviews are skeptical of the friendship between Luna and the adult model but that didn't bother me as much as the ease with which Luna becomes a famous photographer. I just feel a bit deflated after waiting for something huge to happen.

Beatles VI ist das neunte in den USA veröffentlichte Album der britischen Band The Beatles. Es erschien am 14. Juni 1965. Es ist das siebte Album der Beatles, das von Capitol Records vertrieben wurde.

Entstehung
Das Album Beatles VI war das sechste in den USA von Capitol Records veröffentlichte Studioalbum (Introducing… The Beatles wurde von Vee-Jay Records und A Hard Day's Night wurde von United Artists veröffentlicht, The Beatles' Story ist ein Dokumentationsalbum) und erreichte den ersten Platz der US-amerikanischen Billboard 200, wo es sechs Wochen verblieb, und war somit dort das fünfte Nummer-1-Album. Im Januar 1997 wurde das Album in den USA mit Platin für eine Million verkaufter Exemplare ausgezeichnet.

Das Album Beatles VI enthält die sechs Lieder des britischen Albums Beatles for Sale, die nicht auf dem Album Beatles '65 erschienen sind. Weiterhin enthält das Album die folgenden drei Lieder des britischen Albums Help!, das in Großbritannien erst am 6. August 1965 erscheinen sollte: You Like Me Too Much, Dizzy Miss Lizzy und Tell Me What You See. Der Titel Yes It Is ist die B-Seite der Single Ticket to Ride und das Lied Bad Boy wurde in Großbritannien erst am 10. Dezember 1966 auf dem Kompilationsalbum A Collection of Beatles Oldies veröffentlicht.

Die Single Eight Days a Week wurde der siebte Nummer-1-Hit in den US-amerikanischen Charts.

Das Album wurde in einer Mono- und in einer Stereoversion veröffentlicht. Bei der Monoversion wurden keine Veränderungen vorgenommen, es enthält die britischen Monoabmischungen. Yes It Is wurde für die Stereoversion des Albums in einer Duophonic-Version (Fake-Stereo) abgemischt.

Das Album wurde am 14. Juni 1965 auch in Kanada und am 25. September 1970 in  Japan veröffentlicht.

In Großbritannien wurde das Album Ende 1965 für den Export hergestellt (Katalognummer: CPCS-104).

Covergestaltung
Das Design des Albumcovers stammt von Bill Francis. Das vollständige Bild zeigt die Beatles beim Anschneiden einer Torte.

Titelliste
Die fett unterlegten Titel befinden sich auf dem Album Beatles for Sale.

Wiederveröffentlichung
Das Album Beatles VI wurde im April 2006 als Bestandteil der Box The Capitol Albums Vol. 2 erstmals als CD veröffentlicht. Die CD beinhaltet die Mono- und die Stereoversion des Albums. Im Januar 2014 wurde das Album Beatles VI als Teil der CD-Box The U.S. Albums erneut veröffentlicht. Es erschien auch separat und enthält wiederum die Mono- als auch die Stereoversion des Albums. Während bei den Boxen The Capitol Albums Vol. 1 und Vol. 2 die originalen Submaster von Capitol Records und nicht die Original Master der Abbey Road Studios verwendet wurden, wurden für die Alben der The U.S. Albums Box im Wesentlichen die im September 2009 veröffentlichten remasterten britischen Mono- und Stereobänder verwendet. Das Album ist seit dem 17. Januar 2014 als Download bei iTunes erhältlich.

Bowdoinham officials move toward using Recycling Barn
Bowdoinham residents voted 131-116 in favor of leasing the Recycling Barn instead of building a new public works structure at a June 15 town meeting.
By Maria SkillingsTimes Record
The Bowdoinham Recycling Barn has housed the town's recycling program for three decades. The Times Record
The Bowdoinham Select Board took its latest step toward returning its recycling services to the Recycling Barn last week, sending a draft lease agreement to the owner of the property.
Barn owner David Berry said he will review the document and propose possible changes before signing.
The town had leased the barn for 30 years, prior to 2020, when the select board voted to move operations to public works facility after officials raised concerns about the safety of the building.
Since then, Berry has been working to address those structural and safety issues so the recycling program could return. Berry said all repair recommendations made by the town fire marshal have been addressed, including new railings, rehanging of doors, a new foundation and a new concrete floor. He said the upgrades cost $30,000 at his own expense.
Town Manager Nicole Briand said the board has proposed a monthly payment of $1,616 to lease the barn, totaling $19,392 for the year.
Berry said originally the town suggested $16,000 a year, but he requested a $3,000 bump to offset the cost of the building repairs he had made. By increasing the rent to $19,392 a year, Berry said this allows the town to reimburse him for the upgrades made at 10% a year over 10 years.
Berry said that other than minor repairs, any upgrades going forward would be at the expense of the town.
Knowing he could make more money with the barn by "renting it out to store boats in," Berry said his passion for the recycling program he started in the 1980s is more important and he wants to use the barn as a "facility for the town."
"I'm still trying to improve the program so we can get off to a new start," said Berry.
Renovated Bowdoinham Recycling Barn to host open house
Berry said the new lease refers to the barn as a "transfer station," which drastically differs from the purpose of a recycling center. He said it could be done, but would require opening another building adjacent to the barn and would be very expensive for the town.
"I doubt the town would want to spend that much money," said Berry.
Once corrections have been made to the agreement Berry said he hopes to sign a lease with the town by Sept. 27.

Wednesday Night Dinner runs through the academic year. We begin the evening with a Wednesday Night Dinner. Reservations are needed, but for a reasonable price of $7.00 per adult (children and students eat for free), you can have a meal that usually includes a salad, entrée, beverage and dessert. Pizza is available for children and students, or anyone who is not interested in the menu for the week. Menus are listed under the Wednesday night tab on our website. Visitors are welcomed to join us, and then stay for adult Bible study or Children and Student activities.
Our Children enjoy singing in our Children's choir. They rehearse each Wednesday night at 5:30 PM in the Children's Building, learning songs that reinforce Bible lessons, learn music techniques and skills, and rehearse for occasional performances in Sunday morning worship and for a very popular event in the Spring – Dinner and a Show. On a Wednesday night in May, our Children's Choir performs their spring musical, while attenders enjoy a spaghetti fund-raiser meal prepared by students and their leaders, with proceeds going toward FBCHHI Youth Ministry Summer Camp expenses.
Following Children's choir, children move to Awana. Awana consists of four groups, Puggles for ages 2 – 4, Cubbies for ages 4 – K, Sparks for grades 1 – 3, and T&T (Truth and Training) for grades 4 & 5. This is a weekly program that teaches the Bible to children as they work toward goals that award them with patches for their shirts and vests, ribbons, certificates and sometimes trophies. There is always an Awards Ceremony and Ice Cream Celebration at the end of the school year that highlights the accomplishments of the children.
Students in grades 6 – 12 meet in the Student Building at 6:30 PM for fun activities and lessons from the Bible. Our student leaders understand the importance of allowing this age group to continue having fun activities, but also want them to gain a deeper understanding of the Bible and to enhance their relationship with Jesus. They often use music and media to enhance their lessons.
Adults have a variety of Bible Study classes to choose from. Bible studies begin at 6:30 PM. You can find a listing of these classes, where they meet and what they study under the Wednesday Night tab on our website. There is a separate women's Bible study, a men's Bible study, a study for families, and a co-ed Bible study that is working its way through each book of the Bible. Visitors are always welcomed to the co-ed Bible Study. You can also join the other studies, but they are Bible studies built week-by-week.
If you are vocally inclined, our Sanctuary choir is always looking for new singers. Our choir has a wide age range of adults, and you do not have to audition to participate. A love of singing – and hopefully the ability to carry a tune – are all the qualifications you need. The choir sings every Sunday morning, performs a Christmas musical program each year, and holds a Tenebrae service every other year to enhance the Easter celebration. Anthems can be either traditional hymns or contemporary Christian songs, whatever may be best to enhance the week's message from the Pastor. Call our Minister of Music, Richard Wade, for more information or just join us for rehearsal at 6:15 PM on Wednesday evenings to try it out.
If you need more information about any of these activities or studies, call our Church Receptionist, Paulette Gardner, or any of our other staff members at 843-785-4478.

Subject: Will Alibaba Buy Yahoo? Here's What YHOO Needs to Consider

Will Alibaba Buy Yahoo? Here's What YHOO Needs to Consider
By Jim Bach, Associate Editor, Money Morning • @JimBach22 • October 2, 2014
Now that Yahoo! Inc. (Nasdaq: YHOO) has sold most of its Alibaba stake, and cash-rich BABA just completed the biggest IPO of all time, will a major tech deal go down – as in, will Alibaba buy Yahoo?
It could sure be a good deal for YHOO shareholders …
Over the last few years, shareholders have watched as YHOO has struggled to turn its core business around, while most of its value as an investment came from its lucrative overseas holdings. YHOO's once 40% stake (now 16.3%) in Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. (NYSE: BABA) and its 35% stake in Yahoo! Japan were effectively providing the bulk of YHOO's earnings, but income from its own operations continued to sink.
"Absent the Alibaba investment, Yahoo as a stand-alone business is just about worthless," said Money Morning Chief Investment Strategist Keith Fitz-Gerald. "But that doesn't mean the company is worthless. The value infused by the Alibaba deal is a huge windfall for Yahoo shareholders and Yahoo management."
Per a 2012 repurchasing agreement, YHOO sold half its stake in BABA back to the Chinese e-commerce giant and negotiated a "proposed staged exit" that would wind down YHOO's investment in the company over a number of years. This boosted YHOO's cash hoard by about $2.8 billion and delivered $3.31 earnings-per-share (EPS) on the year, compared to 2011's $0.91 EPS.
YHOO shed another 140 million shares after the Alibaba IPO on Sept. 19, and has promised to deliver half of those proceeds to shareholders as well.
YHOO's remaining stake in BABA is worth $36 billion, and the key to YHOO's value at the moment is based almost entirely on the potential for this to grow before it is sold off and put back into YHOO's cash coffers.
But if YHOO wants to capitalize on the windfall in the best way possible and reward shareholders, its best bet is a sale to Alibaba and its Chief Executive Officer Jack Ma, who in 2011 said he was "very interested" in buying the company when YHOO was considering a sell-off.
But first, here are the tough decisions YHOO is going to have to make.

Aarong ensures the livelihood of over 65,000 artisans (85 per cent women) and their families, directly benefiting approximately 320,000 people. Here are some of the individuals who make Aarong more than just a store.
Since its establishment, Aarong has succeeded in creating and popularising products that celebrate the rich cultural heritage of Bangladesh through traditional arts and crafts. Today this pioneering and revered brand attracts talented designers, like Kamal Ahmed Maruf, from across Bangladesh. Designers must combine Aarong's unique style with innovation in order to please current-day market demands. They must also know how to provide the right work to the right producers.
Maruf personalises household-product designs for specific producers by taking their capabilities and skills into consideration. Maruf uses this opportunity to promote skills development, encouraging his producers to try more challenging and innovative designs. One of Maruf's most talented producers is a young entrepreneur named Prithwa who makes household textiles. Prithwa was anxious about some mistakes she made in a new, complicated design, but Maruf persuaded her to keep on trying. This particular bed-quilt design is now Prithwa's bestselling product, ensuring a steady flow of orders and source of income.
Maruf says he gets his motivation from his producers; his wish is to ensure and fulfil their financial needs, pushing him to create popular and original designs to catch the consumers' eye.
Married at 16 years of age, Prithwa found that her husband's income was not enough to support them. Eager to find a job, Prithwa was inspired by Aarong's mission to preserve traditional handicrafts. When she first approached them with her textile samples, Aarong was impressed by her creativity and helped her secure a deposit. With that money, she was able to establish her own production centre.
Now, 12 years later, Prithwa's production centre has achieved a high social compliance rating(health and safety evaluation). With a BDT 1.2 million loan that she received from Aarong two years ago, she was able to turn her production centre into an even safer environment for her and her colleagues. Since then she has noticed the positive effects of her actions, particularly the higher quality of work produced by her artisans.
Prithwa shows genuine pride and affection for the enterprise that supported her as a young, determined woman. The costing process for the products she creates ensures that her artisans are paid and that she receives 12 per cent of the profit as well.
Mohammad Nadim Hossain is second generation Bihari. He and his family live in the Kalapani Bihari camp in Mirpur, Dhaka. Whilst growing up in dire conditions and facing discrimination from mainstream society, Mohammad found himself discouraged from attending school, dropping out at age 12. After, he started working as a hand-embroiderer, earning BDT 3,000 per month. When he met Prithwaat age 19 through their community network, she trained him in machine embroidery, employing him for BDT 9,000 per month. Mohammad can enjoy the benefits of a fair wage due to the costing process that takes place in the Aarong headquarters. This process involves counting each individual stitch in order to assess accurately the time and skill-level required to complete the design.

Home » Travel » Better Brown Than Brassy!
During my ethnic phase, I used to be partial to browns. My colour schemes usually ranged from pale beige to taupe to dark mahogany, with warm colour highlights. Of late however, I find myself leaning towards the more contemporary white/grey palette. Strange how our tastes evolve!
Interior, Arts et Métiers metro stop.
All beautiful images, love the photo Cow – Varanasi india. Must admit, I like brown which is verging on orange. Great post.
Thank you David. I like rusty browns too.
The camel image is nicely captured–many stories can be imagined. Well done.
Brown in all it hues is such a lovely color; not given enough credit I think (in comparison to the brighter hues or B&W.
It certainly is. Thank you Angeline.
I like browns. They're so warm and rich. I still keep my family room at home decorated in browns and cream. It feels so cozy.
Great images of brown. I love how your blog covers cultures I haven't visited.
You got all your bases covered in a thorough study of brown. You just need a photo of Governor Brown or maybe Farmer Brown to complete this exploration. I couldn't pick a favorite, but am leaning toward "The smell of brown," which tickled my fancy.
Ah, Madhu, you got all browns covered nicely!
From sepia to ochre and burnt umber to tan, all beautiful.
Brown is my fave color – brown and shades of green, black. I love these pictures – so rich and earthy. To me, brown is the color of quiet elegance, a self-assuredness that comes from deep contentment… like the earth itself.
I agree. Some of the roadside stands have good tasting foods and beverages.My sister and her husband had a roadside stand to test recipes and to save money so they could open a restaurant. They opened the restaurant and the customers followed. They're retired now but they were great cooks of traditional Puerto Rican foods.
Clever of them! Have never tasted Puerto Rican food!
Oh, it's yummy. The taste is always robust. The herbs and spices tell your tongue that you've had a meal. It isn't spicey where you can't taste the food. It's more of a picnic of flavors coming out and saying ' Hello'. Depending on the region or how close to the water the menu will compensate for that. I hope you get to try it one day.
a feast for all our senses dear Madhu, so many marvellous browns!
I lean toward the Wadi Rum and the cow in Varanasi. All lovely images of this earthy color. Right now Ron and I are surrounded by brown, barren earth. The cotton and rice fields are mostly harvested as we tour the Mississippi and Arkansas Delta, then on to the bayous of Louisiana and then home.
Ah, a namesake 🙂 Thank you very much Madhu. Do you have a blog? Couldn't find a link on your Gravatar.
Perfectly understand your attraction to these lively colors!
Now why didn't I think of spice???
A great serie! Brown is great!
Great selection of browns especially tea and the taste f brown !!!
Thanks Praveena. There is a never ending choice of browns with food isn't there?
I love these, I still lean towards these colors. I suspect it might be my love of coffee and chocolate.
Shades of brown do appeal to me. You've chosen some wonderful subjects to showcase this color.
Many shades of brown in their best, Madhu – a wonderful collection!
Thanks Ailsa. The header is from Kerak, a crusader castle in Jordan.
That was from a tiny tea stall in Agra and was easily the best thing we tasted there, along with some special puris quite unlike any we had had before!
Brilliant! Awesome presentation amd very creative posting, Madhu. Your brown design looks so cool.
Wow, we have the same colour schemes! And I love brown in combination with blue.
And you have nearly the same angle on the Eiffel Tower as I had on one of my favorite shots. I just love your gallery of browns and my pick of this great bunch is the two "mugs" with tea or something.

Almost two months ago Rex Luciferius released Cross Roads and that Album contained a few of his Prophecy Songs.
It was quickly recognized by some as the Most Important Album in Music History and the Album put 5 songs onto iTunes TOP 10 Charts for New Releases and the Album has charted three #1 Songs on SoundCloud and since then Rex Luciferius has put over 20 Songs on SoundCloud into the TOP 10 Charts of 5 Genres of Music.
The past 6 weeks the music of Rex Luciferius has been played over 25 Million Times on SoundCloud thanks mostly to the songs being embedded all over Social Media and on some famous Alternative News and Underground Sites.
PROPHECY was officially released yesterday almost a full month ahead of the October 13th release date originally set on the Album.
Perhaps the Greatest Lyrics ever penned for a Love Song are in the new song titled Until the End of Time and that song will be on the future GOD Album of Rex Luciferius set to be released in early 2017. This amazing song explains how GOD created TIME so intelligent beings (Humans) could comprehend how God's Love is all there is and Time was created so Intelligent Beings could fathom how vast the LOVE of GOD really is.
The song explains how Mountains come go as do stars and even Galaxies but it's all made up things to measure Time, with GODS LOVE being the driving force of the Universe.
Such a complex concept expressed so clearly as Rex Luciferius does in the song, makes this Album 'GREAT', but when you realize the Album has real Prophecy Songs that have already been making direct hits in predicting where future earthquakes have occurred and where many major loss of life events such as terrorism has occurred, then the totality of what Rex Luciferius means to THE HISTORY OF MUSIC can be fully understood to those with an IQ high enough to get the lyrics and music videos of THE PROPHET of Rock & Country.
Every song was written by Rex Luciferius as well as the music. Every video was produced by Rex Luciferius as well. His voice is one of the deepest to ever sing a Rock or Country song. Some may argue as to how great his voice is, but the depth of the lyrics and the importance of them being Prophecy Songs cannot be debated.
So we recognize the PROPHECY ALBUM as the Greatest Album in Music History.

Q: Matlab - Singleton expansion for more than two inputs I have a function that takes in more than 2 variables
eg.
testFunction = @(x1, x2, x3, x4) x1.*x2.*x3.*x4;
testFunction2 = @(x1, x2, x3) sin(x1.*x2.^x3);

Is there a function available like bsxfun that allows singleton expansion for functions with more that 2 inputs?
example of bsxfun
binaryTestFunction = @(x1, x2) x1.*x2;
x1 = 9*eye(10);
x2 = 3*ones(10,1);
A = bsxfun(binaryTestFunction , x1 , x2);

Expands the singleton dimension in the x2 vector.
bsxfun is faster than repmat and also highly iterative and hence I want to know if singleton expansion my testFunction is possible.

A: You can define your own class which enables automatic usage of bsxfun:
classdef bdouble < double
    %BDOUBLE double with automatic broadcasting enabled

    methods
        function obj=bdouble(data)
            obj = obj@double(data);
        end
        function r=plus(x,y)
            r=bsxfun(@plus,x,y);
        end
        function r=minus(x,y)
            r=bsxfun(@minus,x,y);
        end
        function r=power(x,y)
            r=bsxfun(@power,x,y);
        end
        function r=times(x,y)
            r=bsxfun(@times,x,y);
        end
        function r=rdivide(x,y)
            r=rdivide(@rdivide,x,y);
        end
        function r=ldivide(x,y)
            r=ldivide(@ldivide,x,y);
        end
    end
end

Usage:
 testFunction(bdouble([1:3]),bdouble([1:4]'),bdouble(cat(3,1,1)),bdouble(1))

If you prefer bsxfun syntax, you can put this on top:
function varargout=nbsxfun(fun,varargin)
varargout=cell(1:nargout);
for idx=1:numel(varargin)
    if isa(varargin{idx},'double')
        varargin{idx}=bdouble(varargin{idx});
    end
end
varargout{1:max(nargout,1)}=fun(varargin{:});
end

Example:
n=nbsxfun(testFunction,[1:3],[1:4]',cat(3,1,1),4)

A: Just nest functions:
testFunction = @(x1, x2, x3, x4) bsxfun(@times, bsxfun(@times, bsxfun(@times, x1, x2), x3), x4);
testFunction2 = @(x1, x2, x3) sin(bsxfun(@power, bsxfun(@times, x1, x2), x3);

Note that you should implement bsxfun inside the function and not rely on the user calling the function with bsxfun, thus the interaction with the function is seamless regardless.
Note also that there is little speed penalty between using bsxfun when straight element-wise operations could have been used.
There was a file on the file exchange that overides the array operators so that bsxfun was automatically used on all operators, but I cannot remember its name. I used this for a while, but then you run the risk of users not being aware this is implemented.

So, the rest of November and all of December has been busy for me, but not with running. I stopped after the 10/31 10K to give my Achilles tendinitis some rest. I'm delighted to report that pain there has eased off, but unfortunately I have been experiencing more pain in my right hamstring and glute (and piriformis). I finally went to a renowned sports doctor (musculoskeletal care and all) and he diagnosed me with ischeogluteal bursitis. So I'm not running for the rest of the year. Come January 1, 2016, I plan to dip my toe back into it (or do a Polar Bear Plunge in Coney Island, effectively dipping my toes into the Atlantic Ocean after a quick sprint on the beach) slowly.
I wisely did not sign up for any winter races or early spring ones. I'm hoping to be well enough to do the Cherry Blossom 10 miler (I won lottery entry) in early April, then squeeze in either a later April half or the Brooklyn Half May 21. My new physical therapist assures me this is all quite possible.
I've been filling my running time with other fitness, mainly through ClassPass. I'm at the 3 times a month maximum at RowHouse and approaching it at Flywheel. I've also taken a few dance classes with friends. Despite my few years dabbling in ballet, tap, and jazz back in elementary school, picking up hip hop dance choreography is not one of my strong suits. It's more fun with friends because I can laugh at myself and my inability to shake it during the Hotline Bling Remix.
I also have hopped on a real bicycle (not just stationary ones in spin class). I rode from TriBeCa to 125th St. and back with a friend during the amazing weather this past weekend, where I took the picture above. I'm coming for you, George Washington Bridge and Little Red Kighthouse! I rode 15.5 miles roundtrip (and usually hit over 20 miles during spin class), so actually going somewhere will feel great in that distance will feel great. I just had to add a cycling tag to this post because this was only my 4th time out on the bike this fall, but I foresee more of it in my future (weather cooperating).


A special report by BBC Inside Out London on the London Bridge attack revealed explicit terrorist tutorials on the dark web, which included step-by-step instructions on how to make a bomb, and a detailed description of how to create a fake suicide vest. The reality of our young children being groomed over the internet, via WhatsApp, pulled into conversations on the dark web and being befriended by these terrorists and extremists is a real time threat to us and our communities.
To help tackle these issues Warwickshire Community Safety Team Prevent Officer and Cyber Crime Advisors have created an informative, interactive session for Warwickshire parents to learn how to prevent their children from being groomed into this type of world. Parents and carers will be taught how to spot the signs if their young people are being groomed over the internet and provided with advice on what to do about it. Parents are shown in the session how to monitor the types of websites their children access and how to apply security measures onto all devices in the household in order to keep children safe.
Stats show that there are more than 500,000 predators are online everyday targeting our young people and children aged 12-15 years are more susceptible to being groomed and manipulated by offenders online.
Inside Out London's reporter said: 'In July 2016, we discovered that a terrorist organisation was touting on Twitter and Facebook for British Muslims to stage attacks at specific London locations. 'We began conversing with one of their recruiters, who then invited us to chat privately on a secret messaging site. This proves that the every day apps and websites our children are using should be made safe and monitored.
For further information on booking onto the Prevent Online Grooming – Keeping Your Family Safe two hour session, see the flyer below.
More information about keeping safe online can be found on the Cyber Safe Warwickshire website.

Q: How does the concatenation of a String with characters work in Java? The following is a problem from codingbat.

Given a string, return a string where for every char in the original, there are two chars.
  e.g.:
doubleChar("The") → "TThhee"
doubleChar("AAbb") → "AAAAbbbb"
doubleChar("Hi-There") → "HHii--TThheerree"

I have two statements that can do this, but the statement in the comment doesn't give the excepted output:
public String doubleChar(String str) {
    String str1 = "";
    for(int i=0;i<str.length();i++)
    {
        //str1 += str.charAt(i) + str.charAt(i);
        str1 += str.substring(i,i+1)+str.substring(i,i+1);
    }
    return str1;
}

If I change the commented part to str1 = str1 + str.charAt(i) + str.charAt(i), the output is as required. I am not able to understand this. If the concatenation doesn't, then it shouldn't work for either of the case. Can you help me in this?

A: str.charAt(i) returns a char, adding two chars results in a char with a codepoint equal to the sum of the input codepoints. When you start with str +, the first concatenation is between a String and a char, which results in a String, followed by the second concatenation, also between a String and a char.
You can fix this a few ways, such as:
str1 += String.valueOf(str.charAt(i)) + str.charAt(i);

or
str1 += "" + str.charAt(i) + str.charAt(i);

or, as you've already discovered, and likely the most readable:
str1 = str1 + str.charAt(i) + str.charAt(i);

A: The method public char charAt(int index) returns a char, so the line
str1 += str.charAt(i) + str.charAt(i);

performs the + operator on two chars.
According to the Java Specs:

15.18. Additive Operators
The operators + and - are called the additive operators.
AdditiveExpression:
    MultiplicativeExpression
    AdditiveExpression + MultiplicativeExpression
    AdditiveExpression - MultiplicativeExpression

The additive operators have the same precedence and are syntactically left-associative (they group left-to-right).
If the type of either operand of a + operator is String, then the operation is string concatenation.
Otherwise, the type of each of the operands of the + operator must be a type that is convertible (§5.1.8) to a primitive numeric type, or a compile-time error occurs.
In every case, the type of each of the operands of the binary - operator must be a type that is convertible (§5.1.8) to a primitive numeric type, or a compile-time error occurs.

so a char + a char is addition, not concatenation.
Every char is actually an integer value that is interpreted as an character.
Section 15.15.3 of the Java Specs says:

15.15.3. Unary Plus Operator +
The type of the operand expression of the unary + operator must be a type that is convertible (§5.1.8) to a primitive numeric type, or a compile-time error occurs.
Unary numeric promotion (§5.6.1) is performed on the operand. The type of the unary plus expression is the promoted type of the operand. The result of the unary plus expression is not a variable, but a value, even if the result of the operand expression is a variable.
At run time, the value of the unary plus expression is the promoted value of the operand.

Therefore, adding two chars produces an int. When you += that int, it is converted to a String concatenated to said string.
To fix this problem, you can use any of the answers to this question: How to convert a char to a String?, e.g.
str1 += String.valueOf(str.charAt(i)) + str.charAt(i);

or
str1 += "" + str.charAt(i) + str.charAt(i);

A: public String doubleChar(String str) {
 String newStr="";    // created variable to store our result.
 for(int i=0;i<str.length();i++){ // loop through each char in the string.
   char add = str.charAt(i); // take out single char from the string and store it into am variable.
   newStr+=""+add+add;     // add each character
 }
 return newStr;
}

A: The problem is that you are trying to add two chars, which behaves differently to adding two strings. All you need to do is save the char as a string and you can add them the way you want.
public String doubleChar(String str) {
    String str1 = "";
    for(int i=0;i<str.length();i++)
    {
        String currentChar = Character.toString(str.charAt(i);
        str1 += currentChar + currentChar;
    }
    return str1;
}

A: public String doubleChar(String str) {
  String result = "";
  for ( int i=0;i<str.length();i++){
    String ww = str.substring(i, i+1);
    result += ww + ww;
  }
  return result;
}

The Comfort Classic was a golf tournament on the Champions Tour from 1988 to 2000. It was played in Indianapolis, Indiana at the Broadmoor Country Club (1988–1993) and at the Brickyard Crossing Golf Club (1994–2000). Title sponsorship was from Comfort Inn.

The purse for the 2000 tournament was US$1,250,000, with $187,500 going to the winner. The tournament was founded in 1988 as the GTE North Classic.

In 2000, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway started hosting the United States Grand Prix, which created an unfavorable tight scheduling conflict with the golf tournament. In addition, competitors had begun voicing complaints about the unchallenging nature of how the course was being set up for tournament play. In December 2000, Comfort Inns ended their sponsorship, and the event was not held again.

MANFRED ERJAUTZ
MANFRED ERJAUTZ (born 1966 in Graz) is an Austrian artist.
From 1985 to 1990 Manfred Erjautz studied at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna under Prof. Bruno Gironcoli. He is a member of the Vienna Secession and the Forum Stadtpark [de].
Manfred Erjautz is a versatile Austrian contemporary artist who works with the genres of sculpture, installation, graphics and photography, in addition to producing art for public spaces. His oeuvre is always considered to be conceptual and is characterized by formal clarity. Logos, bar codes, advertising texts, objects and material with specified content (Lego) are Erjautz' main materials. In 1989, early in his career, the artist already used Lego bricks to create some of his sculptures.
The first work made of Lego was a gun used in a fictitious bank robbery filmed by a surveillance camera. By building an electric chair out of Lego bricks in another work he reversed the original meaning of Lego "play well" (Danish: leg godt). A controversial Lego cross, which featured a Lego truck instead of the body of Christ, was installed on the altar of the Jesuit Church, Vienna in 2004. The playful character of the Lego should relativize the seriousness and ceremoniousness of the liturgy (more than vice versa).
One day before Christmas Eve 2008, the sculpture was vandalised with parts stolen by unknown perpetrators. It has been relocated to a much safer place on the pulpit.

E. Armata making its exhibition debut at the 2018 New York Produce Show
by Christina DiMartino | November 08, 2018
E. Armata Inc., located on the Hunt Point Terminal Market, is excited to be exhibiting at the New York Produce Show for the first time this year. The exhibition trade floor opens at 10 a.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 12, at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York City.
"We are excited to make our debut exhibiting at the 2018 New York Produce Show," said Michael Armata, who oversees berry buying and sales for the family-owned-and-operated company. "E. Armata will occupy Booth Nos. 363, 365, 367 and 369."
Paul Armata, vice president of E. Armata, with Chris Armata, president, and John Acompora, sales and procurement manager.Armata is the son of E. Armata President Chris Armata. Another son, Nick Armata, works in sales and procurement, and daughter, Chelsea Armata, serves as office manager.
Chris Armata works alongside his brother, Paul Armata, who serves as the company's vice president.
Also key to the E. Armata team is long-time sales and procurement manager, John Acompora.
Company representatives will have a presence throughout the New York Produce Show, which runs Dec.10-13.
"This show has always been a great experience for our team," said Armata. "It's an excellent opportunity to network with other industry leaders to stay in tune with current trends, build new relationships and further improve our existing relationships."
At its exhibition booths, E. Armata will be featuring its new website, www.earmata.com, which showcases its more than 100-year history and its entry into the future of produce distribution.
"We will also be promoting our tropical department at the show, along with our E. Armata brand labels," noted Armata. "Our long-standing relationships with growers and shippers have evolved to now enable us to carry an extensive assortment of products year-round."
He added that the company will also be introducing Pedro Orama who helped launch its tropical department in July 2017.
E. Armata will also feature its emphasis on food safety at the event.
"E. Armata is certified by Good Management Practices, commonly referred to as GMP, and HACCP, with a 100 percent superior rating," stressed Armata. "Also, we are in full compliance with the City of New York's sanitation laws. Our next step in our food-safety initiatives is working toward SQF certification. Our inspectors are trained by U.S. Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Marketing Service inspection standards."
Today, the company is considered a leading, highly professional Northeast produce distribution company with an outstanding industry reputation. Its continued goal is to maintain its business in as updated a condition as possible.
In addition to its four new units, over the past few years its entire facility has undergone a major renovation in not only its dock and warehouse space, but also in its streamlined and elegant offices.
Its long-standing stature is also attributed to the company's focus on every detail of customer service.
Armata noted that in addition to E. Armata's new website, the company continues to invest in its future with ongoing facility acquisitions, renovations, technology upgrades and fleet additions.
"Our newly renovated facility has temperature controlled storage, including a new fruit and vegetable house," explained Armata. "We have a dedicated warehouse and repacking facility in a separate building at one end of the market, which organizes our racking system so every item is just a click away.
"In addition, we've recently expanded our fleet of trucks to efficiently keep up with our growing customer base," he continued.
"All of our trucks are tracked for route optimization so our customers receive their orders when they need them. These new upgrades enable us to offer a large variety of produce that can be picked up easier and more efficiently than ever; either at our Hunts Point facility, or delivered by our expansive fleet of trucks at our customers' convenience."

Jazz is a fun but technical dance style that relies heavily on originality and improvisation. Many jazz dancers mix different styles into their dancing, incorporating their own expression. Jazz dancing often uses bold, dramatic body movements, including body isolations and contractions. A good jazz dancer needs to be flexible and have good technique.


I must post a few questions about cargo shipping to Warsaw, Poland and how is the best method for us to receive an on time delivery. Our warehouse is located at Berlin, Germany, and we are preparing a small shipment of automotive parts that will be delivered to a local distributor. These parts will be packaged and palletized onto 3 pallets. The pallets will be shrink wrapped and the shipment will be ready for you to pickup. The shipment will be ready for shipping in the middle of next week. When is your company available?
We would also like to have an estimate of our cost for shipping with your company. With the information you send us, will you also include when you will deliver to Warsaw? Please also include whether your company included tracking information in your standard shipping rates, or if tracking is an additional charge to us. I think the most efficient method for you to send your shipping information to us is through the message system on this forum. Thank you for providing this information.

America's purported plan to bomb Russia
Michael Kuznetsov sent the following in regard to "Britain as Superpower":
I offer here a few quotes from William Engdahl, and some of my thoughts, for your possible interest:
"While still ostensible allies, during the World War II the United States started to prepare for war with the Soviet Union. In the summer of 1945, at the time of the Conference in Potsdam, the United States had secretly adopted a policy of 'striking the first blow' in a nuclear war against the Soviet Union. To that effect a secret document JCS 1496 was drafted on July 19, 1945. The first plan for nuclear attack was drafted soon afterwards by General Dwight Eisenhower at the order of President Truman.
The plan, called TOTALITY (JIC 329/1), envisioned a nuclear attack on the Soviet Union with 20 to 30 Atomic-bombs. It earmarked 20 Soviet cities for obliteration in a first strike: Moscow, Gorki, Kuibyshev, Sverdlovsk, Novosibirsk , Omsk, Saratov, Kazan, Leningrad , Baku, Tashkent, Chelyabinsk, Nizhni Tagil, Magnitogorsk, Molotov, Tbilisi, Stalinsk, Grozny, Irkutsk, and Jaroslavl. Detailed in Michio Kaku and Daniel Axelrod, To Win a Nuclear War: The Pentagon's Secret War Plans, Boston, South End Press, 1987, pp. 30-31. The secret Pentagon strategy since the end of the Cold War to use modernization of its nuclear strike force and deployment of missile defense technology is but a modern update of a policy established in 1945 — Full Spectrum Dominance of the world, via the destruction of the only power capable of resisting that dominance — Russia."
"The pressures of an increasingly desperate US foreign policy are forcing an unlikely 'coalition of the unwilling' across Eurasia. The potentials of such Eurasian cooperation between China, Kazakhstan, Iran are real enough and obvious. The missing link, however, is the military security that could make it invulnerable or nearly, to the sabre-rattling from Washington and NATO. Only one power on the face of the earth has the nuclear and military base and know-how able to provide that — Vladimir Putin's Russia. The Russian Bear sharpens its nuclear teeth . . ."
http://www.engdahl.oilgeopolitics.net/Geopolitics___Eurasia/Putin/putin.html
End of quotation.
Which is why I call my country Russia a Superpower.
As to the numbers of soldiers . . . I am convinced that what matters is not the QUANTITY but QUALITY.
For example, Israel has been successfully pitting against the innumerable Arab enemies surrounding it with the ratio 1 to 40. Imagine: ONE to FORTY! Nevertheless, the Arabs can never defeat the Jews. This is because of the Israeli soldiers' very high QUALITY. They are made of "different stuff" than their Arab adversaries.
The Russian soldier is the best in the world. We are made of different stuff than that of our potential adversaries. By my calculations we can gather an army of 30 million Russian MEN. Not women, of course! It is sheer misogyny to send women overseas to kill and be killed!
As long ago as in October 2007, as you may remember, our President said: "Why worsen the situation and bring it to a dead end by threatening sanctions or military action?" Putin asked. "Running around like a madman with a razor blade, waving it around, is not the best way to resolve the situation."
We Russians do absolutely agree with our President. To stop the madman who is approaching our throat with a razor blade we need a very good, big and reliable nuclear club.
So, I regret to say that soon all of us, the Russians and the Westerners are most likely to see with our own eyes "who is made of what stuff", including each nation's resilience and the capability to arise from the ashes after the all-out thermonuclear devastation.
We believe that with the Lord God's help we Russians shall arise again as it happened always in our long history.
We the Russian people are like a stone, like a single monolith, like one colossal organism. At the same time the West is made of individuals separated like grains of sand. Moreover, we Russians trust in God and rely upon His Divine mercy towards us, while the Westerners have sunk in their godless sins and abominations like sodomy, etc., etc., etc.
God seeth everything. We fear no one on earth but only the Lord God in heaven. Which is why Holy Russia is invincible.
Lawrence responds:
I had never heard of Engdahl, but when I read him, I discovered he uses some common anti-American terms. And what does "Totalitarian Democracy" mean? Since the words mean opposite things, I am not tempted to read Engdahl further to see what he has in mind. Also, this "smoking gun" of his, this secret TOTALITY (JIC 329/1) plan for the bombing of Russia. Why can't I find it on the internet? Where is it? If he has it and it says what he says it says, why doesn't he reference it? I have spent a lot of money buying the best historians on such matters as these. How come none of these historians knew about plans to bomb Russia. They know that General Navarre wanted to bomb the Vietnamese at Dien Bien Phu. They know that MacArthur wanted to bomb China during the Korean war. Why didn't they know that Truman and Eisenhower wanted to bomb Russia? Heck, Engdahl knew it. Why didn't the historians who get paid for being historians know it?
I question Engdahl's understanding of history. He doesn't seem familiar with the most reputable historians. He doesn't seem aware of the real grand strategy created by George Kennan and Acheson during the Truman administration. What went on back then has been scrupulously documented, and it isn't what Engdahl says it was. What he imagines as America's motives is bizarre in the extreme. Think of what America was as late as 1941, a nation opposed to getting involved in European wars. It was "isolationist," something I have written about on several occasions. It didn't think it needed to be involved in European wars. As I wrote, it took Churchill to talk American into helping Britain out. And Davies views this as of critical importance as I believe it was. Using common sense, try to imagine how this anti-war, isolationist nation could in the space of 4 years be turned into a diabolical Machiavellian demon-possessed war-machine champing at the bit to bomb Russia as soon as possible. I know Chomsky can imagine that and apparently so can Engdahl but I can't, and no reputable historian of this period could either.
Some of the rest of what you say doesn't make sense to me – it sounds as though you are trying to work yourself into a frenzy so you can go to war with the west. Not only does it make no sense, but Russia wouldn't do well in an aggressive attack against the West, unless it used nuclear weapons, but if it did that then it wouldn't do well with capital letters.
Do I believe Stalin was unjustly maligned? How can I when reputable historians examine the Russian archives and agree with the statements coming out of Russia that Stalin was indeed as bad as knowledgeable authorities have said he was. I am only interested in evidence in regard to this matter. I am willing to buy and read the best authorities available, but this is not a partisan matter. He either did the things he is accused of or he didn't. So what does the evidence say? I just started a book entitle Stalin, the First in Depth Biography based on explosive new documents from Russia's secret archives.
Oh, one more thing. Any military worth its salt has "plans" for every possible scenario. These plans are "war game." – battle mockups to test officers skills and to figure out the best possible approach to any possible scenario. They are not "plans" in the sense of plans that represent foreign or diplomatic policy. I hope Engdahl isn't referring to war-game plans. If so then he adds ignorance of military procedures to his other ignorance.

Thanks, Alec.
Engdahl twisted the information in a little different manner than I guessed. JIC 329 isn't even a "plan." It is an intelligence evaluation. The people who prepared this intelligence believed Stalin had aggressive plans and history bears them out. So it wasn't the aggressive "plans" of the US that caused the JIC people to offer this option, it was the fear of Stalinist aggression. Also, this intelligence was one step away from an actual war-game plan. Whether the US war-gamed this JIC estimate isn't indicated.

Laura scoops top national Women in Housing award
Orbit is celebrating after an employee was announced Professional Woman of the Year at the national Women in Housing Awards 2019.
Laura Tutton with her award and Orbit's Chief Executive, Mark Hoyland
Laura Tutton, who works as Area Maintenance Manager at Orbit's Stratford upon Avon office, was presented with the award at a ceremony in Manchester.
Organised by Inside Housing trade magazine in conjunction with the Chartered Institute of Housing, the national Women in Housing awards recognise and celebrate the achievements of outstanding women who work in the housing sector.
"I was absolutely shocked when I heard my name called out," Laura said. "I was up against some very tough competition, including some who were director level. I am really pleased to have won this award though, it means a lot."
As Area Maintenance Manager at Orbit, Laura is responsible for the turnaround of empty properties ready to be re-let to new customers. Her team of seven are responsible for in excess of 100 properties at any one time across the Midlands and she is always looking at ways to improve the lives of customers and give them homes they can be proud of.
Laura has been with Orbit for 11 years, since leaving Nottingham Trent University. She started as a temp, but as a Real Estate Management graduate, it wasn't long before she was taken on as an Area Surveyor. She then became a Team Leader before becoming Area Maintenance Manager.
She won the award for always looking at ways to improve the lives of Orbit's customers through the implementation of new business practices.
Laura has transformed the way customer inspections take place at Orbit and has also been involved in the trial of its 'carpets and curtains' project, which offered new customers the chance to keep certain existing soft furnishings, in order to reduce their moving-in costs. Laura is now involved in a similar trial, this time re-using furniture to ease the costs associated with moving to a new home for Orbit customers
"Sometimes our most vulnerable customers can arrive at their new home with little more than the clothes they are wearing, so anything we can do to help them is worthwhile. Furniture poverty is a real issue for a lot of people, so this is the next thing we want to change to help support our customers," she added.


Like many telecommunications companies, Deutsche Telekom is seeking new ways to drive revenue and business growth. One of those initiatives, the "connected car" program, is being driven by the company's T-Systems unit, which delivers information and communication technology (ICT) solutions.
As Thomas Wieger, solutions architect for T-Systems International GmbH, explained to WSO2Con US 2013 attendees, connected car is a modular, service-oriented architecture (SOA) based platform that integrates vehicles with the Internet and enterprise processes. For instance, trucks can be connected with a back-end infrastructure, or fleet management software can be used to monitor vehicle maintenance and driver efficiency. Electric vehicles, which are also growing in popularity, also require technology such as mobile applications that provide monitoring and control of energy usage.
T-Systems has several types of clients for its connected car business, and several use cases—for example, big car manufacturers want to provide mobility service to their fleets, and auto dealers want to improve customer satisfaction by remotely diagnosing car problems.
Instead, Wieger explained, T-Systems recognized early on the need for a single platform to enable solution development and services across all of its customers and services, using common components as well as a modular, SOA.
Open source middleware at the core of the platform was a requirement, Wieger observed, since T-Systems was building a platform to serve millions of cars and customers and wanted to avoid the burden of licensing costs. In addition, the company wanted the ability to troubleshoot and fix solutions on its own if the vendor was not addressing the issue.
T-Systems first decided to work with WSO2 in 2011 after evaluating WSO2 Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) and choosing the software for its scalability and cost-effectiveness. Today, everything in the connected car platform is connected to WSO2 ESB, Wieger said.
In addition to WSO2 ESB, T-Systems also uses WSO2 Identity Server for access management—since security is a high concern for many customers, WSO2 Application Server to host services in the connected car platform, WSO2 Business Activity Monitor (BAM) for monitoring and control, and WSO2 Governance Registry.
For more information about T-Systems development of its middleware platform, view Wieger's WSO2Con 2013 presentation.

Q: conditionally convergent but not absolutely convergent series I'm stuck on the following exercise:

Let $\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} a_n$ be a series of real numbers which is
  conditionally convergent, but not absolutely convergent.
Define the
  sets $$A_+:=\{n\in\mathbb{N}:a_n \geq 0\}$$ and
  $$A_-:=\{n\in\mathbb{N}:a_n<0\},$$ thus $$A_+ \bigcup A_-=\mathbb{N}\ \text{and}\
 A_+ \bigcap A_-=\emptyset.$$ Then both of the series $\sum_{n\in A_+}a_n$ and $\sum_{n\in A_-} a_n$ are not absolutely convergent.

$\sum_{n\in A_+} a_n$ and $\sum_{n\in A_-} a_n$ can't be both absolutely convergent at the same time is straightforward since it follows that $\sum_{n\in A_+\bigcup A_-}a_n =\sum_{n\in\mathbb{N}} a_n$ is absolutely convergent, a contradiction.
What I haven't been able to do to is exclude the possibility that one of the two converges and the other diverges, i.e. that the remaining two cases:
(1) $\sum_{n\in A_+} a_n$ absolutely convergent, $\sum_{n\in A_-} a_n$ not absolutely convergent;
(2) $\sum_{n\in A_+} a_n$ not absolutely convergent, $\sum_{n\in A_-} a_n$ absolutely convergent;
it leads to a contradiction.
So, I would appreciate any hints about how to carry out this part of the proof.
Best regards,
Lorenzo.

A: Let $b_n = (|a_n| + a_n)/2$ and $c_n = (|a_n|-a_n)/2.$
Then the partial sums satisfy
$$\sum_{n=1}^m a_n = \sum_{n=1}^m b_n - \sum_{n=1}^m c_n, \\ \sum_{n=1}^m |a_n| = \sum_{n=1}^m b_n + \sum_{n=1}^m c_n.$$
If $\sum a_n$ converges and $\sum |a_n|$ diverges, then both $\sum b_n$ and $\sum c_n$ diverge, since
$$2\sum_{n=1}^m b_n = \sum_{n=1}^m |a_n| + \sum_{n=1}^m a_n, \\ 2\sum_{n=1}^m c_n = \sum_{n=1}^m |a_n| - \sum_{n=1}^m a_n,$$
and the sum or difference of a divergent and convergent series is divergent.
Furthermore, we have divergence to $+\infty$ in each case, as the partial sums of $|a_n|$ form a non-negative, non-decreasing sequence.
Note that
$$\{b_n: n \in \mathbb{N}, b_n \neq 0\} = \{a_n: n \in A^+, a_n \neq 0\}, \\ \{c_n: n \in \mathbb{N}, c_n \neq 0\} = \{-a_n: n \in A^-\}, $$
and it easily shown that
$$ \sum_{n\in A_+} a_n=\sum_{n=1}^\infty b_n = +\infty\\ \sum_{n\in A_-} a_n = -\sum_{n=1}^\infty c_n = - \infty
$$

A: Notice that
$$\sum_{n=0}^\infty a_n=\sum_{n\in A_+}\vert a_n\vert - \sum_{n\in A_-}\vert a_n\vert$$
So if either of them converges absolutely, so does the other since $\sum_{n=0}^\infty a_n<\infty$

Ionad Hiort
UIG, ISLE OF LEWIS
Dualchas have been selected to masterplan the new Ionad Hiort project in the Uig area of Lewis. Partnering with Norwegian practice Reiulf Ramstad Architects the internationally important project will involve the development of a visitor and resource centre which seeks to be not only an outstanding piece of architecture but also cuturally and economically important to the Western Isles.
Iain Buchanan, chairman of Ionad Hiort Ltd – the charitable company formed to take the project forward – said: "The vision presented by Dualchas and RRA was outstanding and we are confident that we have people of the highest quality developing every aspect of the project, in close consultation with local interests".
Plans for Ionad Hiort had their origin in a competition sponsored by HIE, Comhairle nan Eilean Siar, VisitScotland, the National Gaelic Arts Agency and the National Trust for Scotland to identify the best location for a St Kilda Centre.
St Kilda is a double World Heritage Site and, subsequently, UNESCO adopted the project as a "pilot" for how to develop remote access to the many World Heritage Sites which are not easily available to visitors.

I don't know what I like about them, but every now and then, I see a set of goggles that somebody made, and I just can't stop staring.
Here's a set of WW2-era aviator goggles.
And here's a set of titanium aviator goggles that inspire me to build a time-machine.
Kristen - ha! It might be a matter of collecting, as opposed to wearing, so I dunno that I would call it a *fashion* obsession. There aren't a lot of occassions that aviator goggles are appropriate to wear, you know?
I know how you feel! x) I LOVE love goggles too! x) They are so awesome! I wonder where I can buy some...?
I'm sure you have gotten a lot of feedback on those beautiful goggles.
I am a fashion photographer and we are working on the styling for a photo shoot that will appear in the premiere issue of Bayfront Magazine. Miami/Naples Florida publication.
I am doing the shoot at the lab in the Edison Ford summer estate.
... and finally my question. Would you be willing to loan your goggles to us for the shoot. We would give you credit in the Magazine as well as the image we use. Of course we would treat them with great care and return them to you directly after the shoot.
Those aren't my goggles. They're on the websites that I linked to.
dude I really want some of those goggles to go snowboardin with but with tinted glass I think it would be so awesome do you know how much they would cost????
For those of you wondering where to buy them, or how much they cost, I have some disappointing news for you.
