Uro-oncology Space set for Transformation by Pipeline Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors, Says GBI Research
GBI Research
21 Nov, 2016, 15:00 GMT
LONDON, November 21, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --
A new Analyst View from business intelligence provider GBI Research - Urological Cancer Treatment Landscape to be Transformed by the Approval of Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors - says that the uro-oncology treatment space, which includes malignancies such as bladder, kidney and prostate cancer, is set to be transformed by immune checkpoint inhibitors currently in the pipeline.
The oncology landscape has traditionally been dominated by small molecule chemotherapies that act on non-specific targets, and therefore affect both malignant and healthy cells. Immune checkpoint inhibitors, however, are targeted drugs that prevent cancer cells from turning off T cells by blocking ligand-receptor interactions that initiate immune checkpoints.
Associate Analyst Adam Bradbury explains: "Over the past five years, immune checkpoint inhibitor trials have reported strong clinical data in many tumor types across oncology, including melanoma, kidney cancer, colorectal cancer, and non-small cell lung cancer. Tecentriq (atezolizumab) and Opdivo (nivolumab) are the two currently approved immune checkpoint inhibitors within uro-oncology, and are marketed for bladder and kidney cancer, respectively.
"Other immune checkpoint inhibitors, such as durvalumab and avelumab, are expected to gain approval for bladder cancer in the next five years. This treatment group's uptake is predicted to be considerable due to the relatively high toxicity associated with chemotherapy agents and the typically poor performance status of many elderly patients, which necessitates the use of less-toxic targeted therapies."
GBI Research finds that, by contrast, the treatment landscape for kidney cancer already contains many targeted therapies, including angiogenesis inhibitors such as Sutent (sunitinib malate) and Votrient (pazopanib hydrochloride), and cancer immunotherapies such as the immune checkpoint inhibitor Opdivo, which gained FDA approval in November 2015 for metastatic kidney cancer patients who have received a prior angiogenesis inhibitor therapy.
Bradbury continues: "The list of cancers that may be susceptible to the checkpoint inhibitor class of immunotherapy drugs is rapidly expanding. In recent years, Opdivo has been approved for melanoma, Hodgkin's lymphoma and squamous non-small cell lung cancer, and it is likely to be approved for further oncology indications during the forecast period of 2015-2022. Increasing clinician familiarity will see Opdivo's uptake and usage expand, translating into strong revenues.
"Despite immune checkpoint inhibitors clearly holding much promise within the urological cancers market, with several in the late-stage pipeline, no substantial checkpoint inhibitor approvals are expected for prostate cancer - the most prevalent urological cancer - by 2022."

Windsor Salt to Invest $300 Million
The Windsor Star/Dave Hall
The owners of Windsor Salt have committed up to $300 million in new investment which will extend the life of the west-side mine for at least another 45 years, according to sources.
The investment was contingent on three union locals ratifying a new three-year collective agreement that calls for modest wage increases, benefit improvements and changes to the employee pension plan from defined benefit to defined contribution, effective Dec. 31, 2015.
Bill Wark, president of Unifor Local 1959 which represents about 230 workers in the fine salt and mine divisions, declined to disclose the amount of the investment for competitive reasons but sources told The Star it could reach $300 million.
"Let's call it a multimillion-dollar expansion which will keep good-paying jobs in this community for more than 50 years and allow us to retire a couple of generations of workers from the mine," said Wark. "It will extend the mine's life for 45 years beyond the current 10 and that's remarkably good news for everyone."
A company spokesperson would only say that "it would be premature to discuss the level of investment at this time given that we are in the early stages of developing a long-term plan."
The majority of long-service employees will be grandfathered and their pension switch won't occur until Dec. 31, 2015. Others will have their defined benefits plan switched to defined contributions and new hires will be enrolled in the defined contribution plan.
"It's awesome the way it turned out," said Tom Dupuis, a laboratory technician with 35 years seniority. "This protects jobs for our children and their children and provides security for the entire workforce.
"This will likely be my last contract and I don't see a downside," said Dupuis. "I know it won't satisfy everyone, and the pension issue is certainly a major part of that, but it protects jobs and these days I think that's very important."
Members of Unifor Local 240, which represents office workers, voted 92 per cent in favour of the new agreement, fine salt and evaporation plant employees voted 77 per cent in favour and mine workers voted 86 per cent in favour.
Mary Beth Nantais, Local 240 unit chairperson, said the agreement addresses inequalities in the workplace and also preserves jobs "far into the future.
"I think our members understood the issues and how important they were to the future of this mine and they voted accordingly," said Nantais.
Clovis Cote, unit chairperson for the mine's fine salt division, said the agreement recognizes that "there are no guarantees in any community these days.
"Nothing is forever, but this agreement positions us for fresh investment," said Cote. "We're among the highest-paid with the best time off and the best benefits package and we haven't given any of that up.
"We're just taking a look at some key issues from a different perspective," said Cote.
The agreement also includes improvements to language, vision care, life insurance, dental plan, shift premiums, long-term disability, boot allowance and retiree benefits.
It also include wage gains ranging from 30 cents an hour to 45 cents an hour in each year of the agreements as well as special wage increases for selected job classifications ranging from five cents to 25 cents an hour.
Windsor Salt is owned by Morton Salt, a subsidiary of K+S Aktiengesellschaft, the world's leading producer of salt.

California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) District #8, San Bernardino, Friday July 20, 2018, issued an update that work continues with the paving and guardrail project on State Route 18 (SR 18) to mill and overlay pavement and upgrade guardrail on the shoulder. The work is taking place between Lower Waterman Canyon and State Route 138 (SR-138)/Crestline Cutoff. The guardrail work has been taking place since last month and the paving portion of the project began Thursday, July 19th.
The paving project will be on the outside lane first on the northbound (uphill) SR 18 and then continue to the outside lane on southbound direction of travel. Once the southbound is complted, work will begin on the inside lanes. Guardrail work will continue at various locations with lane closures during the paving.
Motorists are advised that during the paving there will be necessary traffic holds for up to ten minutes to allow the paving trucks to stage in the work zone. The closure limits will be approximately two miles in length and flaggers will be on scene during the traffic breaks.
California Highway Patrol is also assisting Caltrans with traffic control and enhanced enforcement.
The work hours are 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday.
Motorists and truck traffic are advised that the paving will require reduced lane width. Please slow down and pay close attention while driving through the construction zone.
If possible use State Route 330 (SR 330) to avoid delays.
All American Asphalt is the paving contractor on the $17 million project, which is expected to be completed by the end of 2018.

The Weekly Weasel — Week of Jan. 19
Here's the latest news from the Weasels.
Keep Calm and Top the Board
When I woke up last Wednesday morning, 14 people were signed up for Red Wednesday that evening. Players started jumping ship around Noon, and by 6:30, we were hoping a seventh would show. Fortunately, Edwin Kite, a British national and first-time Weasel, strolled into the Red Lion at around 7:15 to rescue the game. Better late than never.
Kite went on to top the board, which featured three other first-time Weasels, including Fred Townsend, a prolific player and writer from the 1980s postal hobby. The four new Weasels ran our Season 10 recruiting total to 20, just one short of the total for all of Season 9.
Check out the game summary.
Punch Your Masters Ticket at CODCon!
Based on the numerous posts on Facebook and Twitter, the 21 folks who attended the third biennial NADF Masters Invitational last weekend on the Gulf Shores of Alabama had a blast. In addition to three rounds of high-quality Diplomacy, the event included home-cooked communal meals, great camaraderie, and even a trip to a karaoke bar that featured an alarming number of Confederate hymns on the playlist.
Although the Masters is an invitation-only tournament, the invitation process is completely transparent. To score your bid to the 2017 event, all you have to do is finish in the top seven at any Grand Prix event this year or next. (By the way, the location of the 2017 event has not yet been determined, but if the first three are any indication — Austin, New Orleans, Gulf Shores — it's certain to be somewhere warm and fun. The Masters always occurs over MLK weekend.)
And more good news. Both CODCon and Weasel Moot are Grand Prix events, so you have two chances to qualify right here in your backyard. The first is coming up in less than three months. Make your plans to join us April 11-12 at the Student Resource Center at the College of DuPage in Glen Ellyn. As always, we'll play two rounds on Saturday with a hard ending at midnight, and one on Sunday. The tournament will end no later than 4 p.m. Lots of prizes, plus the usual after-parties in Oak Brook and/or Downers Grove, and the top seven finishers all will be invited to vie to be the next NADF Master.
Hope to see you at CODCon!
Premus Donno
And speaking of the Masters, the 2015 champion is Robert Premus of New York. Premus joined the face-to-face Diplomacy scene back in 2011 when he discovered DiplomacyCast and was inspired to forge a local hobby in New York City. In 2012, he attended WAC as well as the WDC here in Chicago, won the Boston Massacre, and even got a New York City tournament off the ground.
Last year, he attended the DipCon at #UltimateWAC, soloed in the third round, and competed for the North American Championship on the top board in the final round. His win at the Masters puts him in lofty company. The first two champions were Edi Birsan and Adam Sigal.
Tournament Director Matt Shields said it best in a tweet earlier today: "Couple years ago most of us only knew Rob as a guy who kept writing to a Diplomacy podcast. Fantastic to see new players succeeding!"
We field two local tournaments each year, so that means up to 28 bids for the Masters (which occurs every other year). We really ought to try to do a better job of supporting this great event. Peter Yeargin, Matt Sundstrom and I all attended the inaugural event in Austin in 2011, but only Aash Anand represented the Weasels in New Orleans in 2013, and he was already an ex-pat by then. This year, 12 of us received invitations, but only Paul Pignotti attended.
Let's go out and earn some bids at CODCon and Weasel Moot (as well as at out-of-town events), and then let's travel as a group to the 2017 Masters. The first three all have been nine-board tournaments, I believe. With our support, the Masters can grow.
Shout-Out to the Weasels
And speaking of Diplomacy Cast, episode 33 is out, and we get a couple of shout-outs in it. First host Nathan Barnes advises an e-mailer from Indiana to look up the Weasels if he wants to play face to face, and then later on, he talks about how active we are and commends us for pumping new blood into the traveling hobby. It's nice to have fans in high places. Now let's back him up. We need a few more of you to sign up for our current slate of open games…
You can subscribe to DiplomacyCast on iTunes or download it at the show's website.
February 7 at John Gramila's home in Humboldt Park, beginning at 11 a.m. Have one.
February 11 at the Red Lion in Lincoln Square, beginning at 6:30 p.m. until no later than 11. Have one.
March 7 at Dan Burgess' home in Downers Grove, beginning at 11 a.m. Have four.
Sign up for games here, on Meetup, or by emailing me (jimthegrey1013@yahoo.com).
Remember, the second Wednesday of every month is Red Wednesday at the Red Lion. These games are scheduled through December and will always start at 6:30 p.m. and go until no later than 11, so get 'em on your calendar. The next one is February 11!

NASCAR makes changes in Budweiser Shootout

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla., Aug. 27 (UPI) -- NASCAR officials say major changes will be made in the 2009 Budweiser Shootout with the field no longer be based on the previous year's pole winners.
The preseason, non-points race at the Daytona (Fla.) International Speedway will include the top six teams from Chevrolet, Dodge, Ford and Toyota, based on the final 2008 car owner points and its distance will increase from 70 to 75 laps on the 2.5-mile tri-oval track.
"Whether it's the (Race for the) Chase, the All-Star Race or the Bud Shootout, there's always going to be one of your top players left out of the lineup," Daytona International Speedway President Robin Braig said on NASCAR's Web site about the possibility of not having several stars like Ryan Newman and Joe Nemechek. "That could be growing pains, but we certainly realize that even in the format that we have for the Bud Shootout."
Starting positions will be determined by a blind draw.
The race is scheduled for Feb. 7.

Sport Sets Pace for Climate Action as IOC and Other Sports Organisations Join Race to Zero Campaign
Submitted by International Olympic Committee
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has joined the UN-backed "Race to Zero" campaign, which is aimed at rallying climate leadership from non-government entities to work towards a carbon-free world.
The announcement was made at a session devoted to sport entitled Sports for Climate Action – On the Race to Net-Zero, held during the UN Climate Summit COP26 taking place in Glasgow, Great Britain.
"It is no exaggeration to say that the climate crisis will make or break the future of our planet," said HSH Prince Albert II of Monaco, Chair of the IOC Sustainability and Legacy Commission, addressing the session in a keynote speech. "This crisis is a call to action for everyone, also for all of us, in the world of sport. As the leader of the Olympic Movement, the IOC has a responsibility to be a part of the solution, and we have a responsibility to be ambitious about leading the change in the sporting world."
"Four years since we launched the Sports for Climate Action Framework, more than 280 sports organisations have committed to the overarching objectives of aligning sport with the goals of the Paris Agreement," said Patricia Espinosa, UN Climate Change Executive Secretary, during the event.
"The sector eagerly took up the challenge, but also told us that they want to do more and to do it faster. These organisations are now being challenged to reduce emissions 50 per cent by 2030 at the latest and to achieve net-zero emissions by 2040," she added.
Other sports organisations joining the Race to Zero Campaign include the Organising Committee for the Olympic and Paralympic Games Paris 2024, FIFA, World Sailing, the IBU and Formula E.
Like many other sectors, sport is increasingly affected by climate change, both in winter and summer. Unreliable snow and temperatures impact winter sports, while increasing summer heat threatens the health of athletes, event organisers and fans.
As part of its efforts to address climate change, the IOC recently committed to reduce its direct and indirect carbon emissions by 50 per cent by 2030, in line with the Paris Agreement and responding to the latest science on climate change.
"This is key to how we will make the shift from a carbon-neutral to a climate-positive organisation by 2024. Following this commitment, we urge all sports organisations to follow suit," Prince Albert added.
IOC's Climate-positive commitment
Already carbon neutral, the IOC aims to become climate positive by 2024.
This will be achieved by:
reducing the IOC's direct and indirect emissions by 30 per cent by 2024 and by 50 per cent by 2030, across the three scopes defined by the GHG Protocol, in line with the Paris Agreement;
compensating more than 100 per cent of its remaining emissions, mainly through the Olympic Forest project; and
using its influence to encourage the broader Olympic Movement, as well as its supply chain and other stakeholders, to take action against climate change, and make the sports world more sustainable.
In 2018, working with UN Climate Change, the IOC co-developed the UN Sports for Climate Action Framework. Launched at COP24 in Katowice, Poland, the Framework is aimed at driving climate action across the sports world. More than 280 sports organisations from around the world have signed up to it so far, including the IOC itself, which is also leading on its implementation.
Climate-positive Olympic Games
In March 2020, the IOC took the decision to make the Olympic Games climate positive. From 2030 onwards, each Organising Committee for the Olympic Games (OCOG) will be contractually obliged to:
minimise and compensate its direct and indirect carbon emissions; and
implement lasting zero-carbon solutions for the Olympic Games and beyond.
All upcoming Olympic Games organisers have committed to carbon neutrality, with Paris 2024 aiming to become the first climate-positive Games even before the 2030 deadline.
"The Olympic and Paralympic Games are the biggest event in the world, and we are currently facing humanity's biggest challenges," said Paris 2024's Director of Environmental Excellence Georgina Grenon. "That's why Paris 2024 has since its bid committed to full alignment with the Paris Agreement to reduce emissions by 50 per cent and host the first Games with a positive impact on the climate," she added.
Inspiring change
The COP26 sports session also featured double Olympic champion in sailing and IOC Sustainability Ambassador Hannah Mills, speaking about the power of sport to inspire positive change. With the IOC's support, Mills has recently rallied athletes from around the globe in a powerful plea to world leaders to increase their ambition to tackle climate change.
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) is a not-for-profit independent international organisation that is committed to building a better world through sport.

In the spring issue of 1972, Overland published the short story 'Crabs' by then little-known writer from Bacchus Marsh, Peter Carey. In 1986, 'Crabs' was made into the film, Dead End Drive-In. To coincide with the forty-fifth anniversary, Overland is republishing 'Crabs', alongside an interview fiction editor Jennifer Mills conducted with Carey about the tumultuous period the story came out of, and about Carey's work more generally.
Overland has also teamed up with the Melbourne International Film Festival to screen Dead End Drive-In and host a discussion about the story and, more broadly, to examine the ongoing phenomenon of Australian dystopia in print and on screen.
Dead End Drive-In is showing as part of an all-night retrospective at the Astor, alongside other sci-fi classics. Here's a taste.

Enterprise Florida to lead trade mission to Peru
Registration now open for Florida companies to participate in international business development trip
ORLANDO, FL – Enterprise Florida, Inc. (EFI), the state's principal economic development organization, will lead a trade mission to Lima, Peru from March 23-25, 2015. Florida companies are invited to join EFI and other business leaders for an export and trade event with Florida's eighth-largest trade partner. The mission will provide Florida companies with the opportunity to expand through trade with Peruvian businesses.
Secretary of Commerce and president & CEO of EFI, Gray Swoope said, "EFI-led international trips are a great way for Florida companies to network with like-minded global companies. International business accounts for 17 percent of Florida's economy and Florida has the second highest number of exporters in the U.S. This mission to Peru is another way for companies to take advantage of Florida's unique global position and unmatched trade access with South and Latin America."
EFI's Export Development Mission to Peru is part of its strategy to market Florida exports and companies in Latin America. More than $2.8 billion in Florida products were exported to Peru last year, and Peruvian imports totaled $2.6 billion. In 2013, Peru achieved its 15th consecutive year of economic growth at 5 percent and Peru continues to be one of the best performing economies in Latin America. The U.S. has a free trade agreement with Peru, making market entry and doing business in Peru much easier than it would be in other markets.
EFI Senior Vice President of International Trade and Development, Manny Mencia said, "Peru has a dynamic and expanding economy, and is projected to be one of fastest growing in Latin America for years to come. This presents unique opportunities for Florida exporters. If you look at the products that are in demand in Peru, they are all sectors in which Florida specializes. The market is well-positioned for Florida companies to expand, and there's also interest from Peru in expanding relations with Florida."
Peru target industries include, but are not limited to:
Security and Safety Equipment
Food Processing and Packaging Equipment
Mining Industry Equipment
Plastic Materials and Resins
Oil and Gas Machinery
EFI will offer a limited number of Gold Key Matchmaking one-on-one appointments through the U.S. Commercial Service for participating Florida companies. The pre-screened meetings allow participants to talk with qualified companies interested in forming trade relationships with Florida businesses. The price of this service is $1,050. Small and mid-sized Florida manufacturers, high-tech companies and professional service providers may qualify for a Gold Key Grant, which will offset 100 percent of the registration fee for the first company representative.
EFI maintains an extensive schedule of overseas trade missions and exhibitions worldwide. In fiscal year 2013-14, EFI hosted 17 major international trade shows and missions with 724 participants, generating more than $820 million in total projected export sales.

Gold Key Registration Deadline: December 12, 2014
Delegate Package Registration Deadline: February 20, 2015.

Arrest Hillary, Judge Finally Declares
The FBI bet nobody would look up from the TV last weekend. During the NFL playoff game between the New York Giants and the Green Bay Packers, they posted more than 300 emails crooked Hillary let fall into the hands of foreign powers.
Leftists are boo-hooing because this traitor missed her chance to sit in Obama's big chair, but maybe we can still send her to the big house!
For decades, Hillary has been walking around like O.J. Simpson. Everybody knows she's a murderer. Still, she manages to get away with it. If you're like me, you can't get away with doing 70 in a 65 but crooked Hillary commits treason once a week and she's playing Freebird in the back of her limo.
According to Judge Andrew Napolitano, the messages posted January 8th prove Hillary is guilty of a felony.
Clinton sent hundreds of emails to her colleagues, most notably Sid Blumenthal, aka "Sid Vicious". For 20+ years, Sid cashed in more than $10,000 a month from the Clinton Foundation while smearing anyone who crossed Bill or Hillary. Now we can prove Hillary sent him sensitive information he had no business seeing. "It turns out — and the Sunday night release proves this — that Mr. Blumenthal was hacked by intelligence agents from at least three foreign governments and that they obtained the emails Mrs. Clinton had sent to him that contained state secrets," Judge Napolitano wrote in a letter to The Washington Times.
It's nothing new to say Hillary had loose lips with American secrets and put America in danger. (Benghazi anyone?) However, this new leak confirms it- she needs to be held accountable for her reckless disregard. More than two years ago in a memo from their counterintelligence division, the FBI admitted that "a federal crime or a threat to national security has or may have occurred" on Clinton's private e-mail server, and the leak "allegedly contains information at a classified & SCI level." However, the FBI Director James Comey gave her free pass after free pass. "She should have known better," was about all he managed to say. Seems she has friends in high places.
Clinton has the audacity to blame her election loss on Russian hackers and "fake news".
Guess what Hillary? You're the one they hacked. How's that for Karma?
China, Russia and Israel are among the countries who hacked Clinton's emails and the SCI they contained. For those of us who might need to fill in the blanks, SCI is sensitive compartmented information; aka "above top secret." Clinton didn't just send sensitive information, she sent SCI. Her attempt to downplay it is like saying "I burnt the spaghetti" when really she burned down the whole damn kitchen.
As for the "fake news", well it looks like Hillary's definition of fakers are the ones telling the truth, whereas the big guns, like CNN are belting out the web of lies.
However in just a few short days, Donald Trump will take over the Oval Office. Hillary won't have a president in her pocket anymore. The government will return to the task of protecting the American people. Judge Napolitano points out that prosecutors don't have to prove the person deliberately risked national security in order to convict her – only that she actually did allow classified information to fall into the wrong hands. There's no doubt about that, so maybe it's time to tell Hillary what her possible prison sentence is. Prosecutors finally have the evidence Americans have speculated on for quite some time now.
Using the playoffs to distract us from the proof of Hillary's foul play is just another Clinton cover-up effort. Nonetheless, what goes up must come down. I think it's time for Hillary to eat her words. What's that she said in the debates? Oh yes, I remember now: "There should be no bank too big to fail and no individual to big to jail." I sure hope she saved that orange suit of hers…

"A pet, or companion animal, is an animal kept primarily for a person's company or entertainment rather than as a working animal or livestock. Popular pets are often considered to have attractive appearances, intelligence and relatable personalities, but some pets may be taken in on an altruistic basis (such as a stray animal) and accepted by the owner regardless of these characteristics.
Two of the most popular pets are dogs and cats; the technical term for a cat lover is an ailurophile and a dog lover a cynophile. Other animals commonly kept include: rabbits; ferrets; pigs; rodents, such as gerbils, hamsters, chinchillas, rats, mice, and guinea pigs; avian pets, such as parrots, passerines and fowls; reptile pets, such as turtles, alligators, crocodiles, lizards, and snakes; aquatic pets, such as fish, freshwater and saltwater snails, amphibians like frogs and salamanders; and arthropod pets, such as tarantulas and hermit crabs. Small pets may be grouped together as pocket pets, while the equine and bovine group include the largest companion animals.
Pets provide their owners (or ""guardians"") both physical and emotional benefits. Walking a dog can provide both the human and the dog with exercise, fresh air and social interaction. Pets can give companionship to people who are living alone or elderly adults who do not have adequate social interaction with other people. There is a medically approved class of therapy animals, mostly dogs or cats, that are brought to visit confined humans, such as children in hospitals or elders in nursing homes. Pet therapy utilizes trained animals and handlers to achieve specific physical, social, cognitive or emotional goals with patients.
People most commonly get pets for companionship, to protect a home or property or because of the perceived beauty or attractiveness of the animals. Some scholars, ethicists and animal rights organizations have raised concerns over keeping pets because of the lack of autonomy and the objectification of non-human animals."
"The better I get to know men, the more I find myself loving dogs."
- Charles de Gaulle
"I am fond of pigs. Dogs look up to us. Cats look down on us. Pigs treat us as equals."
"Until one has loved an animal, a part of one�s soul remains unawakened."
- Anatole France"

This Elderflower Grapefruit Mimosa puts a fun spin on the traditional orange juice mimosa!
Looking back on my childhood, I see now that Mother's Day was GREAT training for being an adult daughter. Mother's Day gave me a moment to pause, do something nice for my Mom, and thank her for (what little I understood to be) her sacrifices.
As the oldest of three girls, I'd rally my sisters out of bed early so we could surprise mom Mom with some celebratory Mother's Day pancakes. We'd pick some flowers from the backyard and decorate the kitchen table with all the cute plates and cups we could find. We'd take our turns thanking her for "being our Mom" and then dig into the half-burnt, half under-cooked pancakes.
The years between now and then have not only drastically improved my kitchen skills (most of which, she taught me) but also my ability to recognize this most amazing woman.
Now an adult, I try to keep the meaning behind Mother's Day in mind each and every day. I cook for her often, seek her wisdom, lean on her friendship, and thank her as often as possible. She, like all you Moms reading this right now, is a remarkable woman and it's my job to remind her (you) that it doesn't go unnoticed.
This year, we're celebrating with this Elderflower Grapefruit Mimosa! I made them on the San Antonio Living (a local NBC morning show) this past week and they were a HIT!
The elderflower flavor comes from a floral-infused liquor called St. Germain. It comes in the most beautiful bottle and really adds a fun spin to the brunch time cocktail classic! To make this Elderflower Grapefruit Mimosa, add a splash of St. Germain, glug of grapefruit juice, several more glugs of prosecco or another sparkling wine, and then garnish with a fresh sprig of thyme. If you're looking for a fun Mother's Day inspired meal to pair this drink with, you might love our Quiche Lorraine which is so lovely!
Happy Mother's Day, you lovely ladies.
Pour an even amount of grapefruit juice, about 3 tablespoons, into 6 different champagne flutes. Add ½ ounce of St. Germain, about 1 tablespoon, to each flute and then top with the chilled prosecco.
Garnish with a sprig of fresh thyme and enjoy right away.
I made this for a dinner party with elderflower syrup we make with blossoms harvested from our tree. It was fantastic! Thank you!!
Yum! So cool that you have your own elderflower tree!


Sandeep Kumar Singh, a PhD student from IIT Kharagpur in India was on research exchange to SINTEF Ocean in the #RE-food project from August to October last year. During his stay he worked together with researchers at SINTEF Ocean and NTNU on dynamic routing in the whitefish supply chain connected to the #iProcess project.
The mission of the Indo-Norwegian project RE-food is to strengthen the collaboration between India and Norway and specially to enhance the sustainable technologies for food processing and preservation. This is in accordance with the Norwegian Government's strategy for cooperation with India. Research exchange is an important initiative of the RE-food project, and so far in the project we have had two researchers from SINTEF Ocean visiting our partner institutions in India, which are IIT Kharagpur, CIFT-CFTRI and AMITY University. Currently, 6 students from NTNU are on similar exchanges. PhD students from IIT Kharagpur have visited SINTEF Ocean and NTNU for a few months. Sandeep was one of these students.

The sun has begun its descent, forcing shadows to stretch from any object fortuitous enough to bask in its glow. There is an inequality in the distribution of this prestigious light, for only the tallest buildings in this city benefit from its glory. As the sun rises and falls, these concrete towers consume its light with voracity, casting stifling shadows that obscure those less fortunate. This is the way things are, and all have accepted it as such; it is a daunting task to dethrone the kings of the sky: they are too numerous, too strong, their shadows reach too far.
Behold, a corpse walks upon the sidewalk, arms hanging limply at his side. Three cans of cat food occupy his bony fingers. He drags his feet with each step; his shoes peel against the grainy texture beneath his feet. There is dejection in his gait; he lacks the capacity for grace. Eventually, his shoes will have deteriorated completely and it will be his skin that peels against the sidewalk. He is just another monster in a world saturated with millions just like him.
What becomes of this cadaverous rambler when he comes upon a crossroad? An intersection shrouded in an oppressive darkness, each direction offering only uncertainty, doubt, distress... does he continue? Does he turn back? Is there anything to be gained from continuing? But then, does he have anything to return to?
How foolish he was to believe that he could offer protection for or nurture anything. It is not his place, nor his role. He will be diced and discarded on a whim. This is his role. He operates within the shadows of the lofty. He is unwelcome, a peasant, a virus: an unwitting contributor to a global sickness, one in a world saturated with millions.

PEOPLE v. STAPF
The PEOPLE, Plaintiff and Respondent, v. Kurt Albert STAPF, Defendant and Appellant.
Decided: October 11, 1994
Mark D. Sutherland and John R. Farris, Jr., Santa Ana, for defendant and appellant. Michael P. Judge, Public Defender, Los Angeles, and John Hamilton Scott, Deputy Public Defender, as amici curiae on behalf of defendant and appellant. Michael R. Capizzi, Dist. Atty., Orange, Maurice L. Evans, Chief Asst. Dist. Atty., Wallace J. Wade, Asst. Dist. Atty., David L. Himelson and Gregory J. Robischon, Deputy Dist. Attys., for plaintiff and respondent. Terry C. Andrus, County Counsel, Orange, Laurence M. Watson, Asst. County Counsel, Thomas C. Agin, Karyn J. Driessen, and James Persinger, Deputy County Counsel, James K. Hahn, City Atty., Los Angeles, Debbie Lew and Katharine H. MacKenzie, Deputy City Attys., Susan Minasian, County Counsel, Butte, and Gregory P. Einhorn, Chief Deputy County Counsel, as amici curiae on behalf of Orange County Municipal Court, Harbor Dist.
As has frequently been said, the answer is often a product of how a question is posed. Here, the appellate department of the superior court asked, "May a court, pursuant to the authorization of Penal Code [section] 959.1[, subdivision] (c)(1) institute a criminal action for the violation of Vehicle Code [section] 40508[, subdivision] (a) against an individual who signs a written promise to appear after being stopped for a traffic offense and subsequently fails to appear for arraignment?" (Fn. omitted.) The appellate department concluded such an action by the court would violate the separation-of-powers doctrine. (Cal.Const., art. III, § 3.) Maybe so, but the question should have been this: 1 Does a court clerk's causing the filing of a criminal complaint for failure to appear violate article III, section 3 of the California Constitution? 2 The answer to that question is, no.3
Kurt Stapf failed to appear on five different traffic tickets filed against him in the municipal court. The court clerk caused an additional count to be added for that violation in each case (Veh.Code, § 40508, subd. (a)). The cases were tried to the court, with a certified law clerk representing the district attorney on all of them; and defendant was convicted on the five failures to appear, among other things.
Stapf appealed each failure-to-appear conviction on the basis that "[t]he trial court was without jurisdiction since no complaint was filed by the [d]istrict [a]ttorney as to the [Vehicle Code section 40508, subdivision (a) ] charge." Astonishingly, although the district attorney elected to prosecute every one of the cases, he conceded defendant's argument in the appellate department and continues to support his position in this court.4
We begin with a reading of the pertinent portion of Penal Code section 959.1, italicizing the key provision added in 1990: "(a) Notwithstanding Sections 740, 806, 949, and 959 or any other provision of the law to the contrary, a criminal prosecution may be commenced by filing an accusatory pleading in electronic form with the magistrate or in a court having authority to receive it. [¶] (b) As used in this section, accusatory pleadings include, but are not limited to, the complaint, the information, the indictment, and any citation or notice to appear issued on a form approved by the Judicial Council. [¶] (c) A magistrate or court is authorized to receive and file an accusatory pleading in electronic form if all of the following conditions are met: [¶] (1) The accusatory pleading is issued in the name of, and transmitted by, a public prosecutor or law enforcement agency ․ or by a clerk of the court with respect to complaints issued for the offenses of failure to appear, pay a fine, or comply with an order of the court." 5
Thus, the clerk, not the court, is authorized to file an accusatory pleading for failures to appear or pay fines and for violations of court orders.6 Does this somehow violate the separation-of-powers doctrine? For several reasons we think not.
People v. Municipal Court [Bishop] (1972) 27 Cal.App.3d 193, 103 Cal.Rptr. 645, a case much discussed in the torrent of briefs we have received, does hold, "Due process of law requires that criminal prosecutions be instituted through the regular processes of law. These regular processes include the requirement that the institution of any criminal proceeding be authorized and approved by the district attorney." 7 (Id. at p. 206, 103 Cal.Rptr. 645.)
But the phrase "authorized and approved" is subject to interpretation. When and how must the public prosecutor authorize and approve the complaint? 8 We will conclude in the context of the offenses listed in Penal Code section 959.1, subdivision (c)(1), a failure to advise the court sometime before trial that a particular electronically filed charge is "unauthorized" is sufficient authorization. In that way subdivision (c)(1) can be reconciled with Government Code section 100 (set forth in fn. 7) to promote the efficient operation of the courts and maintain all the prerogatives of the public prosecutor. In other words, rather than interpret subdivision (c)(1) as an exception to Government Code section 100, we read them together. Although it matters little to the outcome (affecting only the question of whether the public prosecutor retains the right to refuse to "authorize" a clerk-generated complaint), that interpretation gives each statute the fullest possible effect.
In Bishop the municipal court allowed a private citizen, Florence Pellegrino, to file a criminal complaint against Douglas Bishop, and when the district attorney refused to proceed with it, appointed a special prosecutor. The district attorney earlier approved the filing of a complaint based on the same incident against Pellegrino that was signed by Bishop, also a private citizen.
The Court of Appeal found the district attorney's rejection of the Pellegrino complaint dispositive and the appointment of the special prosecutor unauthorized by law. Presumably, however, had the district attorney agreed to prosecute her complaint, the result would have been different because the Court of Appeal had no problem with the complaint signed by citizen Bishop. And that is this case: The district attorney did in fact successfully prosecute all five of defendant's failures to appear. He will not be heard now to complain the prosecutions were unauthorized after pursuing them to a successful conclusion at trial. Prosecution will always be authorization.
Moreover, court clerks do not exercise judicial functions; they act in a purely ministerial capacity. (Copley Press v. Superior Court (1992) 6 Cal.App.4th 106, 115, 7 Cal.Rptr.2d 841; Riley v. Superior Court (1952) 111 Cal.App.2d 365, 367, 244 P.2d 474.) And the Supreme Court has refused to apply the separation-of-powers doctrine in a rigid manner, particularly where merely ministerial or clerical acts are involved: "As this court explained nearly half a century ago: 'The courts have long recognized that [the] primary purpose [of the separation-of-powers doctrine] is to prevent the combination in the hands of a single person or group of the basic or fundamental powers of government. [Citations.] The doctrine has not been interpreted as requiring the rigid classification of all the incidental activities of government, with the result that once a technique or method of procedure is associated with a particular branch of the government, it can never be used thereafter by another.' " (Davis v. Municipal Court (1988) 46 Cal.3d 64, 76, 249 Cal.Rptr. 300, 757 P.2d 11 [italics added by the Supreme Court].) The court also observed, "Indeed, as a leading commentator on the separation-of-powers doctrine has noted: 'From the beginning, each branch has exercised all three kinds of powers.' (1 Davis, Administrative Law Treatise (2d ed. 1978) § 2:2, p. 63.)" (Ibid.)
So far as possible within the confines of the Legislature's goals, our obligation is to construe statutes to avoid constitutional difficulty. (Metromedia, Inc. v. City of San Diego (1982) 32 Cal.3d 180, 186, 185 Cal.Rptr. 260, 649 P.2d 902; Rowe v. Superior Court (1993) 15 Cal.App.4th 1711, 1722–1723, 19 Cal.Rptr.2d 625.) That is not a problem here. Clerks witness the crimes described in Penal Code section 959.1, subdivision (c)(1), frequently in arraignment courts unmanned by a prosecutor or in the office of the clerk when defendants fail to pay fines or appear to set misdemeanors or infractions for trial by posting bail. Akin to a private person making a citizen's arrest, clerks then initiate these routine proceedings. But if, for some reason, the public prosecutor does not wish to pursue a particular charge added by a clerk, the court need merely be informed it is "unauthorized"; and the matter must be dismissed, as in Pellegrino's case.9 (People v. Municipal Court [Bishop], supra, 27 Cal.App.3d at p. 206, 103 Cal.Rptr. 645.)
Thus, as we interpret it, the current system preserves the prosecutor's prerogatives and promotes efficiency in the courts, to the detriment of exactly no one with a legally cognizable objection. Stapf, for example, had all the process he was due when the district attorney assigned a law clerk to prosecute him, a trial was provided, and he was convicted for each failure to appear. To require the thousands of these automatic violations to be referred to the district attorney or a city attorney to exercise "discretion" to prosecute would exalt dry formalism over an exhausted fisc. As the Legislature implicitly recognized in 1990 when it added subdivision (c)(1) to Penal Code section 959.1, the system cannot afford such niceties.10
Moreover, the Supreme Court has long permitted streamlined procedures in relatively minor criminal matters in the municipal court. (See fn. 10.) For example, the court noted in the case of In re Dennis B. (1976) 18 Cal.3d 687, 695, 135 Cal.Rptr. 82, 557 P.2d 514, "Unconstrained by the more stringent procedural requirements of a major criminal trial, municipal courts and prosecutors are free to develop innovative procedures to expedite traffic cases․ This type of flexibility benefits all parties: defendants gain a swift and inexpensive disposition of their cases without risk of major penalties; and the prosecution, the court system, and ultimately the public benefit because judicial and law enforcement resources are freed to concentrate on serious criminal behavior." Surely the Governor and a unanimous Legislature are entitled to similar leeway to promote efficiency and reduce costs. Or, put another way, de minimis non curat lex.
The judgments of the municipal court are affirmed.
1. The settled statement was apparently the source of the confusion. As pertinent, it reads as follows: "The only issue presented on appeal involves the court's computer-generated filing of a Vehicle Code section 40508[, subdivision] (a) charge. Defendant failed to appear for arraignment in violation of his signed promise to do so. In response to defendant's failure to appear, a computer-generated failure to appear charge was added to the underlying offense(s) by the court. The Vehicle Code section 40508[, subdivision] (a) charge was electronically added to the charge(s) listed on the citation by the clerk of court after notification that defendant had failed to appear." (Italics added.) "Court's" and "By the court" are obviously synonym phrases for "by the clerk of the court" because in local practice where there is a failure to appear for arraignment on a traffic infraction, the file never leaves the clerk's office. No judge, consequently, participated in the filing of the added failure to appear charges.
2. Article III, section 3 provides, "The powers of state government are legislative, executive and judicial. Persons charged with the exercise of one power may not exercise either of the others except as permitted by this Constitution."
3. Indeed, dated case law suggests even the question asked by the appellate department should have been answered in the negative. (See, e.g., People v. Superior Court [Copeland] (1968) 262 Cal.App.2d 283, 68 Cal.Rptr. 629.) We express no opinion on that issue, but note in passing that each delict described in Penal Code section 959.1, subdivision (c)(1) is in the nature of an indirect contempt of court. Courts have historically initiated and pursued contempts on their own, of course. (See also fn. 8.) The public prosecutor has a parallel power to prosecute contempts. (Pen.Code, §§ 166, 657; Ex Parte Morris (1924) 194 Cal. 63, 227 P. 914.)
4. The concession reads, "Appellant's position appearing to be meritorious, the People do not contest the appellant's claims of error on appeal." We have taken judicial notice of other pleadings where the district attorney has taken the opposite position, vigorously defending the filing of added charges by court clerks.
5. The amendment passed both houses of the Legislature unanimously and was signed by the governor, although some misgivings were expressed concerning a possible violation of the separation-of-powers doctrine as the amendment wended its way through the legislative process.
6. Subdivision (a) of Penal Code section 959.1, when read in context, does not authorize the court to initiate prosecutions. It merely allows the court to receive electronic filings of accusatory pleadings.
7. As the Orange County Counsel points out, Bishop is a somewhat flawed opinion because it purported to rely on former article VI, section 20 of the California Constitution. It read, "The style of all process shall be, 'The people of the State of California,' and all prosecutions shall be conducted in their name and by their authority." The difficulty is that article VI, section 20 was repealed November 8, 1966, almost six years before Bishop appeared, and replaced by Government Code section 100. That section provides, "(a) The sovereignty of the state resides in the people thereof, and all writs and processes shall issue in their name. [¶] (b) The style of all process shall be 'The People of the State of California,' and all prosecutions shall be conducted in their name and by their authority."
8. The district attorney suggests he could give the court clerk a blanket authorization to file the offenses listed in Penal Code section 959.1, subdivision (c)(1). But would that not also violate the separation-of-powers doctrine if, as he argues, the clerk is considered part of the judicial branch? It would seem so.Next, the district attorney falls back on the "exclusive powers" vested in public prosecutors; but, as we have seen, those powers now flow from the Government Code, not the Constitution. The Legislature is free to make exceptions to Government Code section 100, and the more recent and more specific Penal Code section 959.1, subdivision (c)(1) could be viewed as an exception to the general rule. (Article V, section 13 of our Constitution makes the Attorney General the chief law enforcement officer in the state, but does not purport to restrict the scope of those who may file criminal charges.)Contrary to the district attorney's argument, there are instances where the Legislature has created exceptions to the allegedly exclusive power of public prosecutors to initiate prosecutions. For example, a police officer does that when issuing a traffic citation; and nothing prevents a grand jury from bringing an indictment on its own. The California Constitution provides, "One or more grand juries shall be drawn and summoned at least once a year in each county." (Cal.Const., art. I, § 23.) But the grand jury is given the power to initiate prosecutions by statute. Penal Code section 917 provides, "The grand jury may inquire into all public offenses committed or triable within the county and present them to the court by indictment." Although the reality may be different, the grand jury is not, as commonly supposed, a creature of the public prosecutor. It is "a judicial tribunal" (Greenberg v. Superior Court (1942) 19 Cal.2d 319, 323, 121 P.2d 713) impaneled and charged by the superior court. (Pen.Code, § 914.)
9. Ordinarily, once a complaint is filed, only the court has the power to dismiss. (Pen.Code, § 1385.) If the prosecution is deemed "unauthorized," however, the public prosecutor retains the power to derail it without the court's consent. (People v. Municipal Court [Bishop], supra, 27 Cal.App.3d at p. 206, 103 Cal.Rptr. 645.)
10. Much more disturbing to us is the practice of trying traffic cases in the total absence of a prosecutor, as apparently occurs with some frequency locally and in other parts of the state. That presents a far more serious separation-of-powers problem than the gnat in this punchbowl, but the practice has been approved by the Supreme Court. (People v. Carlucci (1979) 23 Cal.3d 249, 152 Cal.Rptr. 439, 590 P.2d 15.)

Kawhi Leonard out for Game 6 in Houston
By Kurt HelinMay 11, 2017, 7:25 PM EDT
Through the playoffs, the San Antonio Spurs have been 20.9 points per 100 possessions better when Kawhi Leonard is on the court. If fact, they have generally struggled when he sat.
The big exception to that was the fourth quarter and overtime of Game 5, when Leonard sat with a sprained ankle and Manu Ginobili played like it was a decade ago to lead the Spurs to a huge win against the Rockets. Now the question becomes, can the Spurs do that for 48 minutes on the road.
Because Kawhi Leonard is out for Game 6, Popovich announced pregame.
Jonathon Simmons will get the start after a strong Game 5.
The Spurs have a long history of the next man stepping up and making plays, if the Rockets let up because of this it will cost them. Houston has to play with real desperation — and their role players have to knock down threes.
Will Leonard be ready to go if there is a Game 7 Sunday? It's going to be hard to keep a competitor like that off the floor, but Popovich isn't going to let his star risk long-term injury.

Lady Gaga 'Joanne' Track List 2016: Here are all the songs off new album and our top picks
ByMathew Rodriguez
Gaga's Little Monsters, and the rest of the world, have waited 3 years for new pop from the shape-shifting goddess herself. Friday at midnight, the artist answered that call when she dropped Joanne, her fifth pop album.
The album offers 11 tracks and clocks in at just under 40 minutes, while those willing to dish out the money for the deluxe edition will get 14 tracks and 47 minutes worth of Gaga' new signature blend of electro-infused country and blues.
The track list is as follows:
1. "Diamond Heart"
Those looking to peruse through some of Joanne's best tracks should check out the fun and funky "A-Yo," released as a single just three days prior to the album. The trippy country jaunt "John Wayne" sums up the album's aesthetic well, while the album's title track "Joanne" offers more contemplative vibes.
Only one credited vocal collaborator joins Gaga on this album — Florence and the Machine's Florence Welch. Their duet, "Hey Girl," is also worth a listen.
The album's first single "Perfect Illusion" sits in the center of the album, bridging the more uptempo first half with the more serene ballads of the back side. Out of all 14 of the new offerings, no other song a bolder hook or a more brazen key change.
You can also check out Mic's full review of the album here.


The two pictures below may look like your standard Sunday morning service pictures... but really, they represent so much more.
These pictures are a reminder of a young mother's prayer, prayed 10 years earlier as she had just step out in faith, answering a call from the Lord.
A prayer prayed not for herself, but for her small children.
A prayer asking God not to forget her children.
-The Lord hears our heart's cry.
-He hasn't forgotten about us.
-His plan is perfect... His timing is perfect.
-He cares... even about the small stuff. He can even use the small stuff for His glory!
This particular Sunday, we had at least 5 different nationalities represented, who attend this church regularly. They each read a passage of Scripture in their native language, following with the congregation reading of the same passage together in English.
What does this have to do with the young mother's prayer 10 years prior? Glad you asked!
My husband and I felt the Lord calling us to homeschool our children. Honestly, at that time, our area didn't even have that many options or resources readily available. Stepping out in faith, we agreed to take homeschooling a year at a time and see where the Lord would lead.
As a parent, you want to provide every positive opportunity possible for your child that they would need. I didn't know what that would look like with us homeschooling. In the back of my head, I always told myself, "We will do it for a few years..." Each year, we still felt the Lord was telling us to keep homeschooling.
Progressing toward the high school years made me feel unequipped. So many high school classes I didn't feel qualified to teach. I specifically remember in the early years wondering how in the world I would teach a foreign language or Geometry.
As I stood, listening to all these beautiful languages reading the Word of God, I smiled as I heard the Lord say, "See... I didn't forget your children."
You see, my son is learning German this year. One of the widowers from our church was born and raised in Germany, and my son has been meeting weekly with him to practice speaking his German.
My daughter has a passion for another country, which there is another lady at our church she is good friends with who speaks that language as well.
My son is now playing guitar every Sunday morning on our church's worship team. What started as a simple interest, God saw fit to see him use his talents in service for him. This time last year, he would have never agreed to go up on stage to play the guitar with all those people able to see him. But the Lord had spoken to his heart, and worked out the timing of the invitation to play with the worship team to happen at the right moment. Don't you just love it when you can see God's hand every step of the way!
My daughter loves to sew, but I don't really know anything about it... A little over a year ago, a group of ladies from church started a crafting / quilting group that meets once a month, and my daughter can get individual instruction or answers to her questions on various projects. Those same ladies have invited us into their homes to also teach various sewing skills. He cares about our children's hearts and interests. This was something she enjoys, and He surrounded her with a wealth of knowledge on the subject!
During these past 10 years, our family have served the seniors of our church in their monthly gathering. My daughter was a toddler when we began serving, and at that time, the kids' main job was to put the salt and pepper shakers out on the table.
As they grew, they took on new jobs and responsibilities, but what I noticed the most... they were learning from those precious people how to be a servant for the Lord.
I could keep adding to the list... and what I found is that the Lord provided in ways I never expected.
So, this past Sunday, through the reading of His Word in over 5 different languages, God reminded me that He hasn't forgotten my prayer that I prayed 10 years ago as I began our homeschooling journey.
He has a greater plan than any I could have ever created on my own.
I'm not implying my kids will have the world's top teachers and learn everything about all these subjects from these resources the Lord provided at this very moment... but it was His whisper to me, letting me know He hasn't forgotten them. They will get what they need.... and learn some pretty awesome lessons about life and God's provisions along the way.
Be encouraged this Monday in your homeschool. Let Him lead.

Make way for the quintessential luxury automobile. The BMW Concept X7 iPerformance is an extraordinarily innovative vehicle, crafted with an eye for ground-breaking design and inspiring presence. Equipped with an unbelievable amount of space and comfort, it's prepared for a smooth yet powerful debut.
Merely opening the doors makes it apparent—BMW Concept X7 iPerformance embraces spatial luxury. Generously dimensioned windows, combined with the panoramic glass roof extending from the windshield to the rear, generate an incomparable sense of airiness that brings new meaning to the phrase "out on the road." The seats themselves, a mix of dark olive-bronze and Smoke White leather, serve as a nod to exclusivity, down to the finest details.
Pile in Without Piling On.
Comfort and roominess never take a backseat in BMW's largest SAV. On one hand, the X7 Concept iPerformance was built with the driver in mind. The raised seating of the driver's cabin provides unbeatable visibility, and the 12.3-inch instrument cluster puts control at the driver's fingertips while keeping a "reduced to essentials" aesthetic. For the passengers, the adjustable second row allows for easy access to the 3rd row, so even when this 6-seater with Captain's Chairs is filled, it doesn't feel too full.
More Than Just A Conversation Starter.
This is a new form of car talk. The BMW Concept X7 iPerformance takes an unprecedented leap forward in the realm of playful and functional interaction. Second row passengers can access a plethora of infotainment courtesy of the rear-seat touchscreens. From there, the versatile, state-of-the-art interface allows passengers in the first and second rows to share content with each other—and the world at large.


When the Wittler brothers took over the company, they had to do a bit of retooling to incorporate newer high-tech cars rather than the older, less sophisticated classics their father had specialized in.
There's certainly no shortage of BMWs, Mercedes and Audis cruising around the Washington D.C. metro area—but that doesn't make it any easier for Proprietor and General Manager Sam Dawood.
A 2013 Audi A4 came in with a complaint of low power along with an illuminated Check Engine light that we were asked to diagnose.
This article will discuss the refinements that BMW has engineered to the intake system of the gasoline internal combustion engine, or ICE for short.
Snap-on has increased the optional European coverage available for Software Upgrade 16.2 to give technicians the unmatched confidence they need to keep even the toughest European repair jobs in-house.
The added European coverage available in the new Software Upgrade 15.4 puts even more power in the technician's hands to increase repair opportunities and keep even the toughest European repair jobs in-house.
If you are working on European vehicles you know that one of the most common procedures that you will need to perform after replacing a component is Coding.
Working on European cars can be a challenge, so to help automotive shops expand their diagnostic tool's capabilities, Snap-on is offering a free European vehicle adapter kit worth $350 when they buy European Vehicle Software now through Aug. 31, 2015.

Four Tet: There Is Love In You
Chris Martins
There Is Love In You
Over the course of a truly inspired career, London's Four Tet, a.k.a. Kieran Hebden, has remained ahead of the curve, sidestepping obsolescence by folding new strains of sound into his already rich jazz/hip-hop/folk base. Last year's Ringer EP found Hebden reveling in the hypnotic, developing 10-minute songs that ditched the dissonance of 2005's Everything Ecstatic in favor of calmer waters and subtler effects. There Is Love In You, his first proper album in five years, is smoother still, and to great effect—if this isn't the best Four Tet record yet, it's certainly a fresh face for Hebden.
These songs make no bones about their rhythmic inspiration. Most are four-on-the-floor, built atop recurring samples, but only the single, "Love Cry," outwardly indulges in Ibiza-flavored house. (Even then, it's under a dark cloud of dubstep digitalia.) Instead, Hebden does his contemporaries in The Field one better by using repetition as the beginning of the experiment, rather than its final resting place, as if thinking, "The music's going to move in circles; now, how to interrupt those perfect curves?"
Each song is an exercise in craftsmanship, with the crystalline opener "Angel Echoes" patiently coming into focus, "Circling" starting over halfway through to rebuild with a new set of sounds, and "Sing" finding its pulse in a curious mix of Nintendo glitch and tined instruments—African thumb piano, an open Rhodes organ. Each unfolds into the next gracefully, until "She Just Likes To Fight," one of the album's shorter songs at five minutes, closes There Is Love In You. Sleepy as this final song is, it's the record's most surprising, beginning with a club beat, then morphing into live post-rock punctuated by hand-smacked percussion. It's further proof that Hebden is incapable of phoning it in, and that he has plenty more tricks up his sleeve for the coming years.

Odd Future: The OF Tape Vol. 2


While doing a "summer clean" (as opposed to a "spring clean", which I somehow missed), I came across this article that I had clipped out from The West Australian newspaper when I was back in Perth in September last year. I thought I should share it with you.
It turns out the columnist's grandfather, George Emery, had been for many years a very well-known typewriter mechanic in Western Australia.
Interesting article. I like the thoughts, but find the final thoughts a bit incomplete. Thanks for sharing this!
Being an Oasis fan proves she has good taste.
Nice article. There are a lot of neat freaks and anti-clutter activists taking over the world who need to read this.
All of this 21st Century tech is all well and good, but sometimes I just want to feel the reassuring weight of a Len Deighton paperback, sometimes I want to load a CD into a player and hear the music reverberate off the walls (not piped directly into my ear-drums), and sometimes I just want to sit down at a typewriter and just write without waiting for it to boot-up or get distracted by the internet.
I realise that I'm preaching to the converted here, but all of this old analog technology that we covet holds a beautiful simplicity that isn't reliant on recharge cords, scrolling down pages or anti-virus software.
And yes, it was a nice article. I wish there was more to it.
I suppose one could still judge a person by their goodreads.com profile and reviewed, but who would want to?
I'm definitely a judge-a-home-by-its-books kind of guy. A home without books is no kind of home at all, even if it has the latest electronic reader thingummy.


Apple has an event planned for September 9, and many industry watchers expect it to launch a wearable device, possibly called the "iWatch." 9to5Mac is reporting that "two sources with knowledge of the new device" have said that the wearable will run apps created by third-party mobile development firms and may have an App Store. They added that Apple seeded an SDK for the new device to several well-known app developers, including Facebook.
Other sources have reported that the wearable will include fitness sensors and mobile wallet technology. It is believed the device will be go on sale in early 2015.
