Birmingham-based Wragge & Co's antitrust team has hired Slaughter and May senior assistant Anne Clayton.
Birmingham-based Wragge & Co's antitrust team has hired Slaughter and May senior assistant Anne Clayton.
Ms Clayton trained at Slaughter and May and joined its competition and regulatory department on qualification in 2001.
During her time there she worked on a range of high profile matters including the Railtrack administration, the attempted Royal Caribbean/P&O Princess combination and the Cemex/RMC merger.
She also spent a period on secondment to the Office of Fair Trading.
Ms Clayton is experienced in the full range of European Union and UK competition and regulatory law matters, including merger control, behavioural issues, state aid, public procurement and sectoral regulation.
Based in Wragge's London office, she will work with antitrust partner Simon Taylor, who joined the firm from Allen & Overy in December.
Together with Mr Taylor, she is already advising new client MTR Laing Railway Company on its bid to run the combined Thameslink/Great Northern rail franchise.
Head of antitrust Bernardine Adkins said: "Anne is an excellent addition to the team. Having worked at Slaughter and May and the OFT, she has an enviable pedigree and possesses the ideal mix of competition and regulatory experience to support and strengthen our national antitrust practice."
Ms Clayton said: "Wragge & Co is a great firm. It has a strong reputation for competition work and it has the clients, credentials and high calibre lawyers needed to move up to the next level.
"I have joined a young, ambitious team at a time of exciting growth and opportunity."
The two-partner antitrust team operates as a single pool of experts, advising from London, Birmingham and Brussels. It advises on a full range of EU and UK competition and regulatory matters to bluechip and international clients including Cadbury Schweppes, RAC, Johnson Controls and the Society of Motor Manufacturers.
In the past 12 months it has won first instructions from SITA, Spirit Group and the Northern Ireland Authority for Energy Regulation.

After an undergraduate degree in post-colonial literature at the University of Kent at Canterbury and an MA in Latin American Studies at Sheffield, I completed my PhD at the University of Sheffield in 2011 with a thesis on the representation of bandits and banditry in Latin America. My research has since been published with the University of Wales Press (November 2015) as 'Revolutionaries, Rebels and Robbers: The Golden Age of Banditry in Mexico, Latin America and the Chicano-American Southwest, 1850-1950'. The book provides not only a fresh insight into individual bandits and bandit cultures in parts of Latin America, such as Argentina, Brazil, Cuba and Mexico, but also presents the argument that a golden age of banditry took hold on the continent during the late-nineteenth century, in which, in the popular imagination, if often not in reality, bandits were transformed into Robin Hood figures, agents of social and political change against an unjust establishment. In addition to the monograph, my research has provided material for articles that have been published in peer-reviewed journals, as book chapters in edited volumes and, more recently, online, on such subjects as: the rise of Colombian women assassins; the Mexican bandit novel; Pancho Villa; and the Mexican Revolution. I am currently preparing articles on the continuation of the bandit hero-aesthetic in Mexico and Colombia and on the cross-cultural bandit Joaquín Murrieta. I have also contributed to literary dictionaries and encyclopedias with profiles of Latin American authors and their work. Most recently I have been asked to submit an article for a volume on the Latin American detective novel which will focus on the presentation of women and power in two narco-novelas. This will feed into my next book-length study on the cultural representation of female outlaws in Latin America from 1915 to the present day. Before coming to UCD I worked at the University of Sheffield in the Department of Hispanic Studies and in the Lifelong Learning section, teaching extensively on language and cultural and literary modules at all levels. I also worked at the University of Edinburgh, delivering final-year modules on Latin American Literature. Here at UCD I am currently contributing to the provision of Latin American Studies with modules on the global representation of Latin America and a module on the development of Latin American literature from the time of the 'new novel' to the post-boom. In addition I am also contributing to school-wide modules with sections on Latin American literature as World Literature and to the module Cross-Cultural Encounters.

Q: C++ syntax for pointer and reference I'm doing a searching for swapping two nodes of linked list and found out a block of code as follow:
void swapNode(call * &head, call * &first, call * &second) {
    // swap values, assuming the payload is an int:
    int tempValue = first->value;
    first->value = second->value;
    second->value = tempValue;
}

My question is what the meaning for put the ampersand after asterisk?

A: Ampersand (&) here denotes reference. it is not the address operator.
This is the C++ way of being able to change the value of a passed-in pointer because C/C++ pass parameters by value. In C, you would use a double pointer to achieve the same.

The contraceptive injection contains a hormone called progestogen which stops you from becoming pregnant. The Contraceptive injection works for up to 3 months depending on the injection you have, which means you don't have the responsibility of remembering to take your pill on a daily basis, or have a condom at hand for those spontaneous times that might otherwise catch you out.
Depo-Provera which is the most commonly used contraceptive injection and will protect you for 3 months.
Noristerat is a short term contraceptive injection that is not commonly used now.
If you are interested in the contraceptive injection please make an appointment with your local GP who will asses your medical circumstances.
stop you from ovulating (producing eggs).
Thicken the mucus in your cervix which will make it difficult for sperm to pass through.
Thin the lining of your womb so if an egg where to be produced and fertilized it would have a low chance of attaching.
The contraceptive injection is 99 percent effective meaning 1 out of 100 women using the contraceptive injection would become pregnant, making this one of the best forms of contraception available.
When you're on the Contraceptive Injection you must consider any medication your taking as this can interfere with the way it works, so always ask your GP if any medication your prescribed will effect the injection. Also remember to go for your next injection on time, Lots of pregnancy occur due to the women not getting their follow up injection in time.

In recent month's we've been experiencing issues such as pages not loading or slow connections to our database, and know that our users have also been getting frustrated by similar problems. However, all that is now behind us as our brand new server is now online and hopefully everyone is enjoying better access and faster loading of Loquax.
The new server is in fact an additional server, and now brings the collection of machines powering our business to three. However, this set up includes looking after a few other sites we run but two machines are solely dedicated to the Loquax site – we need that much power. Hopefully we are now structured so that we can continue to expand and grow further.
Of course, none of this is possible at all without our service provider. Positive Internet have been hosting (and server managing) Loquax for almost 10 years and they've seen us grow and grow via their server range. They do a great job for us!
It's great that the site continues to grow, but sadly servers aren't free and this new addition now means extra costs.
Don't worry we won't be charging you (not this week anyway lol).
However, if you do want to support Loquax then you can do so quite easily by using things like our voucher codes when you shop online. Follow the links, use the codes, you save money, we get paid (and then can buy even more servers when the time comes).
Don't think support for the site just has to be monetary. Tell your friends, mention us on Twitter or Facebook! You can also support us by letting us know of new competitions or errors on site. Every little helps!
We're now hoping for a server problem free few months (year/as long as possible) and hope that you've seen a marked improvement when using Loquax this past week.

Home Money Money: Reason for One's Happiness or Sadness
Money: Reason for One's Happiness or Sadness
Medha Shukla
It is said that: "Time and tide waits for none" — Certainly it's a fact that one cannot deny. Time is that essential factor of our life on which both our success and failure depends. It's because of the time that we come to know what we have gained and lost in life. Be it a school going child or an adult, a working employee or an aged person, for everyone time is important and a judging factor of life. Now, when we have talked about time, we often hear that 'Time is Money'. Obviously, if we give a look to the present scenario of people working for their livelihood, we have to stick to this obviously, if we give a look to the present scenario of people working for their livelihood, we have to stick to this point. For them, time is equivalent to money.
But the thing that people do not understand or just ignoring is that this particular money is snatching away all the time. Because of this money, people are unable to give time to the ones for whom they are working. This money is ruining serious relationships. Although we can't even deny this fact that money too is an essential part of life. It's all because of money that people are staying away from their families. They don't spend time with them. It's an obligation for them to do things that they don't want to. But it is we who has to decide whether we want money to make us happy or sad.
As it is, all a matter of priorities, so for some money is everything. No matter what turn, life is taking because of it. People are living with a myth that materialistic possessions can bring happiness. But unfortunately they are so deeply trapped in this trap that it becomes difficult for them to come out of it. This is a misconception that money can buy you happiness. But it can't. Research has shown that the rich people are more prone to stress. It's because they throughout their life stay involved in making money and gathering wealth. But they never realize the untold fact that in the race of earning more and more wealth they are losing many things.
We always keep wondering about what all we could do after having lots and lots of money. The thought of having enough money and acquiring all those lavishing things just makes us happier. What we don't know is that after having more money and being rich, people are unable to enjoy their life. They in the greed of having more made their schedule so busy that they all the time deal with stress and tension. It's just that money can bring satisfaction. But more and more money can bring extra happiness is just a misconception.
Apart from these things, money what gives rise in society is discrimination among rich and poor. The ones who have enough felt themselves as the superior and there begins the discrimination when they exploit the one who don't have. There arises the comparison people deal with their surroundings because of money. It's like the game of 'Who's more powerful'. Certainly, our society has set a benchmark of being powerful, weighing the amount of money they have.
These are all negative impacts what money carries with it. But in the world of flint, everyone is busy making money and finding ways to earn more. Meanwhile, they stay deprived of the ultimate happiness which they realize after it's too late. The need is to understand that money is the way to find satisfaction by fulfilling the basic needs. It's not the path where you walk and find happiness. There have been many people who died staying unsatisfied throughout their life because of the greed of acquiring more. It's good to just make money your friend not family and to stay content with what you have because — "Contentment is happiness".

Бензилазид — органическое вещество класса азидов. В органическом синтезе применяется как компонент [3+2]-диполярного циклоприсоединения и источник бензиламинной группы.

Получение
Бензилазид доступен коммерчески. Методы его получения основаны на замещении атома галогена в бензилгалогениде на азид под действием азида натрия. Например, реакция с 0,5 М раствором азида натрия в ДМСО уже за 1 ч при комнатной температуре позволяет получить бензилазид с выходом в 98 %. Также описана реакция в воде с микроволновым облучением. Очистить бензилазид можно перегонкой, однако такой метод не рекомендуется из-за потенциальной небезопасности. Поэтому интерес представляют методики с высокой конверсией.

Получить бензилазид можно также из бензилового спирта под действием азида натрия в присутствии эфирата трёхфтористого бора. Выход составляет 85 %.

Строение и физические свойства
Бензилазид растворим в этаноле и диэтиловом эфире, нерастворим в воде. В инфракрасном спектре он даёт характеристическую полосу азидной группы при 2099 см−1. В протонном ЯМР-спектре бензильные протоны дают сигнал при 4,35 м. д., тогда как аналогичные протоны бензилбромида — при 4,44 м. д. Разница между этими сигналами составляет 0,09 м. д.

Химические свойства

Реакции циклоприсоединения
Как и другие азиды, бензилазид вступает в реакции [3+2]-диполярного циклоприсоединения с алкенами, алкинами, нитрилами и связями C=N. Региоселективность такого циклоприсоединения низка: оба региоизомера образуются в сравнимых количествах. Гораздо большей региоселективностью обладает вариант циклоприсоединения с алкинами, катализируемый медью (CuAAC). Он приводит к образованию 1,4-дизамещённого триазола.

Циклоприсоединение с алкенами даёт триазолиновые циклы. Оно протекает значительно медленнее и даёт два региоизомерных продукта. При фотолизе триазолины теряют молекулу азота, превращаясь в азиридины.

Реакции восстановления

Бензилазид превращается в бензиламин под действием многих восстановителей, например алюмогидрида лития, боргидрида натрия, водорода на палладиевом катализаторе. Это открывает дополнительные возможности для использования бензилазида в синтезе, в частности он позволяет вводить бензиламинную группу в соединения. Предложены также методы одновременного ацилирования образующегося бензиламина.

Генерирование нитренов
При фотолизе в присутствии ацетофенона бензилазид превращается в нитрен, а далее в N-фенилимин и дибензиламин. Если же фотолиз проводить в присутствии бензофенона, образуется только один продукт — имин бензальдегида.

Безопасность
Бензилазид является потенциально взрывчатым соединением, как и все органические азиды.

Maserati Set To Bloom Under Stellantis
by Marinelle Adams June 29, 2021, 12:20 am
Source: topspeed.rs
Maserati is a name synonymous with class and elegance, a brand with a long history and a proud legacy. If you're worried that the illustrious brand will fade into obscurity under the new Stellantis empire, fear not. The 2023 introduction of a hybrid version of the Maserati Ghibli was only the first salvo in an onslaught that will see the brand reinvent itself for a sustainable future. Thirteen new Maserati derivatives will be launched from 2023 to 2023, of which six will be electric vehicles (EVs). While most are bound for the European market, we hope to see these make their way Stateside, too. The Ghibli Hybrid is the first Maserati to offer any electrical assistance and uses a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine to produce nearly the same horsepower and performance as the base model six-cylinder model, but with 20 percent better gas mileage.
As a reminder, here is the range of Maserati models currently available in the USA:
Maserati Ghibli and Ghibli Hybrid mid-size luxury sedans
Maserati Quattroporte full-size luxury sedan
Maserati Levante mid-size SUV
Maserati MC20 sports car
Exciting New Maseratis Waiting In The Wings
You can peruse the current Maserati car lineup here, but the next round of launches will kick off later in 2023 and include the following:
Maserati Grecale and Grecale EV. Possibly the last vehicle that features the Giorgio platform underpinning the Alfa Romeo Giulia and Stelvio, this will be the long-awaited compact luxury crossover Maserati to take the fight to the Porsche Macan. It is expected by the end of 2023 and hybrid versions will probably follow later. Anticipating the electric next-generation Macan, Maserati plans to launch a Grecale EV in 2023. Since the inability to electrify the Giorgio platform was given as one of the main reasons for retiring it, we're not sure how Maserati has managed to get around the problem, but an electric compact luxury crossover is certainly what the market demands – and the rivals will be plenty.
Next Maserati GranTurismo, GranCabrio, and EV. The positively ancient though still beautiful GranTurismo was updated and facelifted umpteen times before finally being retired in 2019 after 12 years on the market. A new one will be coming in 2023, joined by not only a drop-top version but also fully electric derivatives of both body styles.
Maserati MC20 Spider and EV. The current gas-only MC20 will lose its roof in 2023. It will still be powered by the bespoke 621-horsepower Nettuno engine. However, the coupe will be offered in a fully electric version from 2023.
Next Maserati Quattroporte and EV. The current Quattroporte is already eight years old and has been updated several times, so we'll get a brand-new one in 2023. While the current Quattroporte does not even feature a hybrid model, the new one will be offered with a fully electric drivetrain to do battle with other EV super sedans, such as the Porsche Taycan, Audi e-tron GT, and Mercedes EQS.
Next-generation Maserati Levante and EV. Having gone on sale in the US as a 2017 model, the current Levante mid-size SUV is expected to be replaced by a brand-new one in 2023. This leaves a relatively short lifespan for the current model, especially in comparison with the long-running GranTurismo and Quattroporte models. The next Levante will be offered in a fully electrified version, which is the likely reason to fast-track the introduction of the current model's replacement.
Maserati Levante Hybrid. During 2023, the current-generation Levante will be fitted with the 48-volt mild-hybrid drivetrain already fitted to the Maserati Ghibli. It should provide performance that is only slightly off that of the 345-hp V6 Levante, claiming a sprint from 0-60 mph in six seconds. It should offer 20 percent better miles per gallon than the V6 though. The jury is still out on whether the hybrid will make it stateside, however.
The Future Is Green
Source: uk.motor1.com
Now that Maserati is part of Stellantis and has access to a massive conglomerate's green tech, the brand is finally getting onto the EV bandwagon – and in short order, too. All brands falling under Stellantis are given ten years to prove themselves and establish successful business cases. Maserati has taken the opportunity and investment to massively expand its lineup. Its new three-motor, 800-volt Folgore EV powertrain uses next-generation silicon-carbide inverters and should rank near the best in its class for performance and efficiency.
Why adapt?
Going green is a non-negotiable for automakers wishing to remain relevant, and with some of the biggest names in the motoring industry moving forward towards fully electric vehicles, even the ultra-luxury cars known for their monstrous engines and raucous soundtracks will need to adapt. The benefits of forgoing traditional combustion engines – at least in part – are not limited to merely improved fuel economy and soothing the eco-warrior conscience. There's also the status that comes with being able to produce hybrid and electric vehicles that are capable, comfortable, and still utterly desirable, sans global-warming-triggering power plants; and, to be honest, who wouldn't want that kind of feather in their cap?
Joining other sports-car brands such as Porsche and Ferrari in committing to a sustainable future, the rejuvenated Maserati has all the ingredients for a stay of execution when Stellantis' ax comes down in 2031. It beat Ferrari to the SUV game and there will soon be a compact crossover too to compete in a very lucrative market segment – and a lot more drivetrain configurations than currently available. No doubt, the market will consolidate in the years to come and not all brands with us today will still be around tomorrow – or they will be absorbed by the larger players. For now, Maserati's sustainable future seems secure.

A fire broke out at a recycling plant in Stanton-by-Dale on 15th September and burned for several days.
Contractors at the site worked alongside firefighters, using diggers to move unaffected wood and reducing the amount of recycled material nearby.
Derbyshire Fire and Rescue Service advised local residents to keep their windows and doors shut wherever possible due to the amount of smoke coming from the site.

One-pot dinners! Because who wants to wash a bunch of pots and pans? I'm guessing most of us would rather do something else after dinner, so I've rounded up 18 different one-pot meals – everything from easy weeknight dinners to guest-worthy dishes – that won't leave you with a pile dishes in the sink. Take a browse and I hope you find something new to try!
Whether you're craving a hearty pasta, a cozy slow-cooked dish or quick and easy dinners made with chicken, beef, or seafood these one-pot dinners are all about making life easier in the kitchen. Click on the photos or recipe titles to get the recipes for these all of these one-pot meals!
CREAMY ONE-PAN CHICKEN AND RICE – Girl Gone Gourmet | An old favorite gets a few upgrades! This chicken and rice dish has a creamy Gruyere cheese sauce and fresh broccoli and all of it cooks up in just one pan on the stovetop. It's a hearty and comforting dinner for a chilly night.
SKILLET CHICKEN LASAGNA – Girl Gone Gourmet | I love a traditional lasagna, but the work required can be a drag so here's a lasagna recipe that comes together in one skillet. Just like traditional lasagna without the hassle.
CREAMY MUSHROOM AND SPINACH GNOCCHI – Salt and Lavender | Not only is this a one-skillet creamy gnocchi dish, but it only takes 30 minutes – double win! I love easy recipes like this one that looks like something you might order in a restaurant, but you don't have to go anywhere. You can make this right at home.
GREEK MEATBALLS WITH LEMON DILL RICE – Dinner at the Zoo | So many great flavors! These savory Greek-spiced meatballs nestled in creamy lemon dill rice look like a delicious weeknight dinner.
CHICKEN WITH LEMON-GARLIC GREEN BEANS AND POTATOES – Girl Gone Gourmet | Light and packed with veggies this chicken with lemon-garlic green beans and potatoes is an easy one-pan recipe.
SKILLET CHICKEN WITH BACON, CAPER, AND OLIVE SAUCE – Coffee and Crayons | Not your average (aka boring) chicken dinner! This skillet chicken (inspired by the blogger's child!) has a wonderful combination of flavors – I imagine the smoky rich bacon plays well off the briny capers and olives – and is begging for a side of crusty bread to soak up all the sauce.
MARSALA CHICKEN ORZO SKILLET – Taste and See | Another chicken dinner idea – classic marsala chicken cooked in a single skillet with orzo. Looks delicious!
HEALTHY ONE POT ENCHILADA PASTA – Peas and Crayons | Is your Taco Tuesday fare getting a little tired? This healthy enchilada pasta is a fun twist on a classic and is packed full of veggies and black beans. Serve with all your favorite toppings like sour cream, fresh cilantro, and cheese.
BAKED RAVIOLI WITH SPINACH ROSA SAUCE – Girl Gone Gourmet | The best weeknight dinners are ones that are low-maintenance yet look and taste like you cooked all day. A few smart short-cuts make this baked ravioli so easy to pull together – it goes from stove top to oven in just one pan and requires very little prep work. It's definitely a weeknight dinner win.
PORK LOIN WITH BRAISED APPLES, FENNEL, AND ONIONS – Lively Table | Apples and pork are a classic combo and this one-pot dinner looks like a cozy dinner for a chilly night.
ONE SKILLET STEAK AND SPRING VEGETABLES – Platings and Pairings | Juicy flank steak, fresh spring vegetables and a bright mustard mint sauce – this easy skillet dinner is easy enough for a weeknight and totally guest-worthy, too.
PIZZA PASTA – Sugar and Soul | For a long time, we only had oven-ready lasagna noodles – you know, the kind you don't have to boil before assembling a baked pasta dish. Now, there are all sorts of pasta shapes that don't need to boil on their own, which means you can cook the pasta along with everything else in one pan. This recipe uses no-boil macaroni for a fun twist on pizza that's done in less than 30 minutes.
STICKY ASIAN POMEGRANATE CHICKEN – Salted Mint | Chicken dressed up in a sauce made with pomegranate and fresh ginger with steamed bok choy on the side – looks amazing!
ONE POT PENNE WITH SAUSAGE AND ARUGULA – Girl Gone Gourmet |A light and easy dinner idea that cooks up in one pan in less than 45 minutes! This one-pot penne with sausage and arugula with white wine is full of fresh flavor and won't leave you with a pile of dishes in the sink.
CHICKEN CHASSEUR – What a Girl Eats | Chicken Chasseur, or Hunter's Chicken, is pure comfort food especially if you serve it with creamy mashed potatoes on the side. You might think this is an all-day kind of recipe, but the chicken cooks in about an hour – perfect for a cozy Sunday supper.
ONE-PAN SPAGHETTI BOLOGNESE WITH SUNDRIED TOMATOES – Girl Gone Gourmet | Spaghetti bolognese goes from a weekend kitchen project to weeknight go-to dinner thanks to a few key shortcuts that help get dinner on the table in less than an hour. Italian sausage and ground beef cook together in a simple short-cut sauce brightened with a pop of sun-dried tomatoes and fresh herbs. It's hearty and comforting with minimal clean-up.
COCONUT CURRY SHRIMP – Plating Pixels | This lightened-up shrimp curry is a great way to get a lot of good-for-you veggies and tender juicy shrimp in about 30 minutes using just one pan.
CHICKEN WITH CHEDDAR BROCCOLI RICE – Dinner at the Zoo | There are chicken and rice dinners that require two pans and then there's THIS chicken and rice dinner with crispy-skinned chicken thighs on a bed of cheesy cheddar broccoli rice. And, yes, you only need one skillet.
Thanks so much for including my gnocchi! I love one pan dinners… they're such a weeknight lifesaver. Sharing!
Pinned! Loving this super tasty one pot round up – thank you!
Love one pot meals! Thanks for including me in this great collection of tasty dishes!

Monmouth Museum features 'Petopia!' exhibit through Jan. 5
By KELLY GIULIANO, Staff Writer
Donna Kessinger, the executive director of the Monmouth Museum, was determined to make the 2019 holiday exhibition "over the top."
But not the kind of "over the top" Kessinger observed in December 2018 when the holiday exhibition theme was "food" and plastic fruit was strung on the museum's Christmas tree.
This year, Kessinger believed a cute animal theme would suffice.
"Petopia!," an exhibit which features almost 100 aesthetically varied portraits of pets, is on display at the Monmouth Museum on the campus of Brookdale Community College in Lincroft through Jan. 5.
The exhibit celebrates the unique bond humans have with their furry companions.
The exhibit, which features portraits of cats, dogs, rabbits and cattle, spotlights local and international artists who were selected through a juried submission process. The works, which are available for purchase, are priced from $50 to $11,799.
"Why not raise the level of art to a subject everyone can get into? … We needed to make the exhibition cute and endearing to our members," Kessinger said in an interview.
Each year, she said, the Friends of the Monmouth Museum – a group of volunteers – decorates a Christmas tree to imitate the holiday exhibition theme. This year the Friends adorned a large Christmas tree with Beanie Babies, stuffed animals and framed photographs of animals.
"Petopia!" is complemented by the museum's annual model train display. Portraits of pets that surround a bustling model train diorama contribute to the child-like enchantment of the holidays.
Laura Oncea, public relations director, said each portrait in the exhibition expresses the unique way unconditional love is conveyed by a human toward their pet.
"The way (the artists) create their (pet's) face, I feel like there is an emotion that comes out when you look at the face they create," Oncea said as she complimented a portrait of a dog, "My Sadie" which was created by artist Heather Lynn Gibson.
An example of unconditional love toward a pet also appears in Stacy Pritchard's work "A Very Very Good Girl." The artist painted two black and white artistic renditions of her beloved dog.
The first of two images features the words "a very very good girl" around the canine's physique, which is accompanied by a halo-like silhouette. A pink heart-shaped tongue serves as the work's focal point.
In the second image of the canine, the dog's pupils are replaced with pink hearts.
In her artist's statement, Pritchard said, " 'A Very Very Good Girl' is an original hand-painted woodcut of my little black dog Ruby. Ruby came into my life the year after Hurricane Sandy. My dog was heartsick for a companion after our neighbor and his dog friend were forced to move away.
"So the next spring I started to search for a second dog. I found Ruby from a rescue group. When she first came home to us, she was scared of literally everything and had had no socialization with people. She had a big attitude and would nip and ask questions later.
"The vets believe she is much older than we were originally told, which makes us just want to love her more. She has had some medical issues in the past and has pulled through like the fighter she is. She recently got an infected eye and had to have surgery.
"While she underwent surgery, I sat at home and worked on these woodcuts. It allowed me to occupy my mind and hands while waiting to hear she was OK. She is OK. As a matter of fact … she is A Very Very Good Girl," Pritchard wrote.
Not all of the artists in the exhibition have imitated their pets. Artist Marjan Morravej's work "Extinct Animals-Caspian Tiger" features a large watercolor tiger painted on a broken mirror. The portrait is priced at $11,799.
According to an artist's statement, Morravej said, "the artwork depicts the role of humans in shattering the circle of life."
"Petopia!" gallery hours at the Monmouth Museum are Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The gallery is open on Sunday from noon to 5 p.m. Admission is $10. For more information, call 732-747-2266.

IMPORTANT! Watch the video below for a THOROUGH overview of how the Alex Trebek life insurance program works before continuing reading. The video will give you an excellent overview as to how the insurance works, and what the "fine print" is all about. Enjoy!
What's Kind Of Life Insurance Is Alex Trebek ACTUALLY Endorsing?
Dave! Are you trying to sell me an Alex Trebek plan?
Today, I would assume you're browsing my website in search of ANSWERS to your questions about final expense life insurance and burial insurance.
Maybe you're looking for life insurance on yourself or a loved one like your parent.
Again, if I may be sold bold, more specifically you are here because you're wondering what this so-called "Alex Trebek life insurance" program is all about.
If you're like many people I do business with, you're DROWNING in junk mail… television ads… and constant solicitation for final expense life insurance.
And chances are… you've seen "The Jeopardy Guy" attempting to convince you at the wonders of the burial insurance product he's endorsing.
And maybe you've been CONVINCED that this particular type of life insurance product "is the one" to get!
Having the FACTS (not FICTION) is important to making a decision, wouldn't you agree?
ESPECIALLY if it's about something as VITAL as ensuring your loved ones have cash on hand to pay your funeral, cremation, and final expenses.
I'm going to discuss exactly WHAT Alex Trebek life insurance is. Then, I'm going to SHOW you how it works. That INCLUDES showing you the fine print.
And lastly, I'm going to give you my opinion on the PROS and CONS of Alex Trebek life insurance.
That way, YOU and YOU ALONE can make up your OWN mind if the Alex Trebek life insurance product is right for YOU and YOUR FAMILY. Or if something else may be better.
OK – let's get on with it!
Alex Trebek life insurance is NOT the name of the company or the life insurance product.
You see, Alex Trebek is a paid endorser of Colonial Penn's life insurance products.
Odds are pretty high that if you see Alex Trebek talking about life insurance, he's promoting Colonial Penn Life.
Colonial Penn Life Insurance is a Philadelphia, Pennsylvania-based life insurance company.
Originally, AARP co-founder Leonard Davis, founded Colonial Penn, with AARP for a time working with Colonial Penn as its life insurance partner, offering coverage through Colonial Penn to AARP members.
As mentioned earlier, Colonial Penn is best known through its endorsers.
Currently, Alex Trebek endorses Colonial Penn.
And in the past, Ed McMahon, Jerry Lewis, and Joe Theismann also endorsed Colonial Penn.
Most folks recognize Colonial Penn through their onslaught of television and junk mail advertisements.
For people over 50, they will receive solicitations with fancy brochures and applications from Colonial Penn on a monthly (if not weekly) basis until they breath their last breathe!
And if you enjoy watching "The Price Is Right," re-runs of "Bonanza," or the "Steve Harvey Show," it is likely you will see Alex Trebek himself extolling the virtues of Colonial Penn, including why you should buy their life insurance.
So you see the constant television ads.
And you get the weekly junk mail from Alex Trebek Life Insurance (Colonial Penn Life Insurance).
HOW does this life insurance product from Colonial Penn REALLY work?
But first, let me see if the following "highlights" from the commercial sound familiar to you.
Coverage is guaranteed NEVER to cancel due to health or age!
Your premiums are guaranteed NEVER to go up for any reason!
And most importantly… as long as you fit the age range, you CAN NOT be declined. Your acceptance is guaranteed!
Bet that's what you hear every time you see a Colonial Penn commercial, right?
…And thankfully, all of those benefits are absolutely, 100% true!
HOWEVER… there are significant fine print issues that you must examine FIRST before determining if this Colonial Penn product is right for YOU and your family.
SOME life insurance is better than NO life insurance.
I will go to my grave believing that even an inferior insurance product is much better than NO final expense burial insurance product.
And so it is with Colonial Penn life insurance.
It is undeniable that there are obvious advantages to buying Colonial Penn's "Guaranteed Acceptance" life insurance product.
One major advantage to the Alex Trebek life insurance product is that your coverage cannot cancel due to age or health.
Because we don't know when we're going to die!
Plus, why take a chance with a life insurance product that may cancel BEFORE you die?
Wouldn't you agree having insurance that does NOT get more expensive is a GOOD thing?
I'd argue it's a GREAT thing!
And Colonial Penn's guaranteed-acceptance life insurance product does just that!
When you buy a guaranteed acceptance life insurance product from Colonial Penn, whatever premium you're quoted is LOCKED IN. Forever!
So… no dreaded RATE INCREASE letters from the insurance company.
The premium you pay TODAY stays IDENTICAL to the premium you'll pay at ANY time in the future!
You're probably wondering at this point if I'm attempting to persuade you to buy life insurance from Colonial Penn.
Why? Because, there are some obvious benefits to buying an Alex Trebek life insurance plan that can benefit certain people.
HOWEVER… there some not-so-obvious issues that we need to cover before totally deciding if coverage from Colonial Penn is right for you.
This feature of the Alex Trebek life insurance program CAN be a benefit to some.
But to others… guaranteed acceptance may be a considerable DRAWBACK.
It's true. As long as your age falls within the age brackets Colonial Penn offers, you cannot be declined for life insurance coverage with Colonial Penn's Guaranteed Acceptance product.
The truth about Colonial Penn and their whole life insurance will probably shock you.
I've sat with hundreds of people who owned a Colonial Penn life insurance program.
By simply showing them the fine print, they are shocked to see how the Colonial Penn product was NOT in their best interest.
Colonial Penn is one of the most common guaranteed whole life insurance carriers.
In reality, you're not going to get the best value if insurance companies don't know your health history.
Now, you may have health problems. BUT… that doesn't mean you can't get a better value!
Colonial Penn wants to convince you their whole life product is the cat's meow, as my mom would say.
Guaranteed issue means they don't ask you any health questions.
They don't know what condition your health is in.
For example, you could be on your death bed or be perfectly healthy.
Point is, they take anybody and everybody who expresses interest, so they assume the worst about your health.
Why Not Guaranteed Whole Life Insurance?
Life insurance companies are designed to make money.
They do that by not providing any coverage for natural causes for the first two years of your insurance policy.
This means if you die of natural causes within the first two years, they will NOT pay the full death claim.
They will refund your money to your beneficiary plus a little interest.
Trust me. What your beneficiaries will receive will NOT result in a lot of money.
And most likely, DEFINITELY not enough to pay for a full funeral or cremation!
Look… Do NOT take my word for it! Watch the video below where I actually SHOW you the fine print regarding the MANDATORY waiting period that's built into ALL Alex Trebek life insurance plans that offer "Guaranteed Acceptance" coverage. Watch the video in its entirety to discover – word for word – how these plans work.
We don't know when we're going to die!
I've sold life insurance across the nation since 2011. I specialize in burial insurance.
It is shocking the number of perfectly healthy people that I've sold insurance to who died within the first two years of their policy.
I can think of two gentleman in Georgia in particular.
Both were in perfect shape when they took out an insurance policy.
The first one discovered he had brain cancer a year later and died within two to three months. It was such a sad occasion.
Keep in mind… Colonial Penn WOULD NOT have paid the $20,000 death claim since he passed away from natural causes within 2 years of his burial insurance program.
The second gentleman died six months after he took his life insurance plan out with me.
Had he had one of these guaranteed issue companies like an Alex Trebek life insurance program, he would not have had coverage to leave to his family and his wife.
If you're looking for a life insurance product, you want to get the best value, right?
In other words, the key is to get as MUCH coverage as quickly as possible. AND get it for the best price.
Watch the video below now for my final thoughts on Alex Trebek life insurance, and what you can do RIGHT NOW to give yourself the best opportunity for the highest value of coverage.
If a limitation of coverage for two years with an Alex Trebek program is something you weren't aware of, AND you want to work with somebody who is going to give you the best value, I highly encourage you to give me a jingle.
Call me at 888-626-0439 now.
I'm happy to source quality life insurance coverage with the goal of qualifying you for first-day full coverage if possible.
You can also submit a message or chat request below. Or go to my contact page and send me a message here.
Hi Nenita – give me a call at 888-626-0439 and I'd be happy to help! Your husband sounds like he may have an easy to getting approved with one of my final expense carriers.

Chetan Sharma: An Overview I Former Indian Bowler I
Leave a Comment	/ Players / By sarthak
Chetan Sharma was a bowler who used to play for the Indian cricket team.
Chetan Sharma was born on 3rd January 1966 in Ludhiana, Punjab. His cricket coach used to be Desh Prem Azad. Interestingly, Desh Prem also used to be the mentor for legendary Indian cricketer Kapil Dev.
Although he was born in Punjab, he played first-class cricket for Haryana and West Bengal. He made his first-class debut when he was just 17 years old. He made his international debut as a part of the Indian ODI team against the West Indies on 7th December 1983.
If we talk about his test debut, he made it against rival Pakistan on 17th October 1984. The match took place in Lahore. Interestingly he dismissed Pakistani batsman Mohsin Khan in his very first over. This made him the 3rd cricketer in the history of Indian cricket to have taken his very first wicket in the first over.
In the next year, he showed his talent by managing to take 14 wickets in just 3 test matches in Sri Lanka. In 1986, he was an integral part of the team which defeated England by 2-0. He took a whopping 16 wickets in both these tests.
He took ten wickets in the Birmingham Test. Chetan Sharma also took a 10 wicket haul against England. His performance was great while he played but he was greatly affected by the injuries that he sustained.
In the 1987 cricket World Cup, he managed to take the first-ever hat trick of the tournament. He achieved this feat while playing against the New Zealand cricket team.
It wasn't like that he performed well only while bowling. He scored 101 runs against the England cricket team in the prestigious Nehru Cup.
Chetan Sharma Test Debut
Chetan Sharma made his test debut against the Pakistan cricket team. By taking a wicket in his very first over, he created history. In that game, Pakistan won the toss and opted to bat first. Where they put up a massive total of 428 runs with a loss of 9 wickets.
Chetan was one of the best bowlers who managed to take 3 wickets in this innings. Pakistan managed to make such a big total due to the excellent innings of their skipper Zaheer Abbas. He scored 168 runs.
The Indian first innings meanwhile were not that great and they were all out on just 156 runs. Only skipper Sunil Gavaskar and Dilip Vengsarkar managed to score some decent amount of runs. India was then invited to follow on in which they managed to score 371 runs for 6 wickets. This was made possible due to the century of Mohinder Amarnath.
Chetan Sharma ODI Debut
On 7th December 1983, Chetan Sharma made his ODI debut against the West Indian cricket team. Where he picked 3 wickets. The match was held in Jamshedpur.
India won the toss in that game and they opted to bowl first. West Indies managed to score 333 runs in their innings thanks to the innings of Sir Viv Richards (149 runs), Sir Gordon Greenidge (115 runs), and Jeff Dujon (49 runs). If we talk about the Indian bowling, then Kapil Dev was the most successful bowler of all as he took 3 wickets while maintaining an economy rate of 4.89. Madan Lal and Ravi Shastri also managed to take 1 wicket each. The Indian cricket team meanwhile did not manage to chase the set target although some of their batsmen performed well.
Sunil Gavaskar (83 runs), Ashok Malhotra (65 runs), and skipper Kapil Dev (44 runs) tried their very best but failed to make sure that India reached the set target.
Chetan Sharma Head of Selection Panel
Chetan Sharma was named as the head of the Indian cricket team's selection panel by the BCCI on 24th December 2020. The BCCI's CAC (Cricket Advisory Committee) which had members as Sulakshana Naik, Rudra Pratap Singh, and Madan Lal had a virtual meeting to select three members for the BCCI's team selection committee.
They made a choice and decided that Debashish Mohanty, Abey Kuruvilla, and Chetan Sharma were the best fit for the committee. They further made a clarification and said that Chetan Sharma would be heading the trio as he was the most senior player of the three based on the number of test matches played.
Their recommendation will stay valid for the next 1 year and their performance will be reviewed then. These three selectors will be joining Harvinder Singh and Sunil Joshi under the selection committee. Interestingly, Ajit Agarkar also wanted to become a selector but eventually, he was not given the chance.

Kyova Tri-State Mall is located at the corner of US Rt. 60 @ I-64, Ashland. It is a Regional Center which opened in 1989 and was last renovated in 2009. It is an Enclosed shopping mall with 2,700 parking spaces and a food court with 150 seats.. It covers an area of 448,677 sqft. and has about 30 stores.


Yesterday, Google posted a blog post on the webmaster blog that was actually posted months ago on the security blog, we covered it in February. So I was scratching my head as to why Google posted it months later on the webmaster blog.
Well, it turns out, it seems like webmasters are now receiving notifications via the Google Search Console for Deceptive Site / Social Engineering Detected Warnings.
I spotted a bunch of threads in the Google Webmaster Help forums, but only linked to two, around this yesterday.
On said they received a message in the Google Search Console that told them they have "social engineering detected on some pages of the website, possible due to hacking/ malware code or third party ads." The other said they get the "Deceptive site ahead warning in Chrome" but the Google Search Console says they are clear.
So I dug into them and it seems the one that has the message in the Google Search Console as "social engineering detected on some pages of the website" is actually removed from the Google index. Since it was publicly posted in the forums, it is nice to see a real live example.
I clicked through the site but didn't see any deceptive download buttons. Maybe I am missing it or maybe the webmaster removed it?
The webmaster blamed the "on-click pop-under advertisement wit Propeller Ads Media," but who knows.
The other webmaster's site ranks in Google, but when you click on it Chrome does give you the red page warning. So it seems like a different issue.
I guess this is why they reposted it yesterday on the webmaster blog.


When you visit Seattle for work or leisure, you can either stay with fellow tourists in an area hotel, or live with the locals inside one of our luxurious Seattle Vacation Rentals.
We have multiple options for you in four of Seattle's most desired neighborhoods: Downtown, Pike Place Market, Capitol Hill and West Seattle.
Where you stay depends upon the type of experience you most want to have.
If you're visiting Seattle on business, a luxury rental in a downtown condominium building is the place to be. You'll be within walking distance or a quick ride share trip away from The Washington State Convention Center, downtown office buildings, and the business technology centers of South Lake Union.
If your convention is at a downtown hotel, a nearby vacation rental affords you the luxury of stepping away from the crowds for a quiet evening of peace after a busy day of networking. If you're visiting for fun, Belltown is a thriving nightlife area; it's adjacent to Pike Place Market and Seattle Center where you'll find the Space Needle and MoPop (the Museum of Pop Culture, formerly known as the Experience Music Project). If you're entertaining yourself or your clients, CenturyLink Field (home to the Seattle Seahawks), T-Mobile Park (home to the Seattle Mariners), Key Arena, and the world famous Space Needle are all close at hand; not to mention Seattle's best restaurants, theater, live music venues, and more.
The entrance to Pike Place Market, home to the original Starbucks coffee shop, is second only to the Space Needle as the most iconic place in Seattle. When you stay at a nearby luxury vacation rental, you can visit the bustling market in the morning and return home to enjoy the fresh artisan foods, flowers, and gifts you picked up from the lively, personable merchants.
We have many units available in Newmark Tower, only steps away from the main entrance to Pike Place Market. These luxury units include garage parking, 24 hour concierge, and access to the indoor pool and hot tub, scenic decks, and fitness room. Our exclusive unit at Waterfront Landing is between the market and nearby attractions such as The Seattle Aquarium and The Seattle Great Wheel (Seattle's waterfront Ferris Wheel).
If you want to truly escape the hustle and bustle of the city, consider staying across Elliot Bay in West Seattle. We offer a modern condo in the heart of West Seattle Junction (a walkable main street featuring restaurants, boutiques and a Sunday Farmers Market); plus a vintage bungalow single family home on scenic Alki Beach, close to waterfront restaurants and bars.
The best way to access downtown is via the West Seattle Water Taxi that whisks you across the water and docks close to The Seattle Aquarium, the Seattle Great Wheel, and the western entrance of Pike Place Market. The West Seattle Bridge also gets you downtown by car or bus in mere minutes.
Diversity is the main attraction in Seattle's famous Capitol Hill neighborhood, located just east of downtown, up the hill from I-5. Bars and nightclubs that cater to Seattle's vibrant LGBTQ community are intermixed with restaurants, galleries, live music venues, boutiques, parks and other attractions. Seattle Oasis offers luxury condos right along Cap Hill's Pike/Pine corridor and even more units within walking distance by Washington State Convention Center.
No matter what location you choose, you can take comfort in knowing each unit we offer lives up to the high standards set by Seattle Oasis Vacation Rentals. Our units are professionally cleaned between guests, linen cabinets are fully stocked, beds are appointed with luxurious high thread count sheets, kitchens are packed with coffee, bottled water and other treats, and bathrooms are filled with all the essential luxury toiletries.

Dr Dre and Jimmy Iovine: 'We're thinking about who'll be the next Steve Jobs'
Talking beginnings, business and billion-dollar Beats, Dr Dre and Jimmy Iovine reveal how their partnership kickstarted a digital revolution...
Kenneth Cappello
It takes a beat to find music mogul Jimmy Iovine's Los Angeles mansion. Hang a right off Sunset Boulevard, swerve up past the Armand Hammer Golf Course and soon you'll find yourself staring at Hugh Hefner's old place, the Playboy Mansion – or, rather, what is left of it.
Jimmy's place, pretty much directly opposite the late Hef's lair, was designed by Wallace Neff, the architect who developed what became known as the "Californian style". It's a sprawling, multilevelled labyrinth, with bright, white-washed walls, a John Pawson-style pool house, a home cinema the size of your local Everyman and a football pitch in the back garden; the house and gardens are influenced by Spanish and Mediterranean buildings of the mid-20th century. "I've been here three decades," Iovine confesses as he welcomes us, a catheter hanging out of his left arm from a saline and vitamin IV he took earlier this morning in a bid to banish an encroaching head cold. "Still not entirely happy with it, if I'm being totally honest..."
Iovine, as one might imagine, isn't a man who gets complacent or comfortable. I'd first met him a year ago at London's Connaught hotel, where he and his wife, Liberty Ross, pretty much always stay. "She's currently doing up a large place in the countryside," he explained over Earl Grey and chipotle smoked salmon finger sandwiches. "This suits me fine, as this hotel is walking distance from Annabel's. You go? I'm there pretty much every night for an hour or so."

Yet, unlike some puffed-up billionaire moguls who lock themselves away behind a wall of head-bowing flunkeys or behind a convoy of blacked-out G-Wagen windows, Iovine was nothing but convivial and happy to talk about it all: how he got his first foot on the ladder as a music engineer with John Lennon in the early 1970s; the production he did on Born To Run with Bruce Springsteen; working with icons such as Tom Petty and Patti Smith; becoming cofounder of Interscope Records; how he came to sign controversial rapper Tupac Shakur at the dawn of "gangster rap's" commercial success; his dalliances with Suge Knight, Biggie and Death Row Records; his global success with Eminem, 50 Cent and, of course, his unique business partnership with Dr Dre and the formation of Beats Electronics and Beats By Dre, their headphone and music streaming company that was sold to Apple for a jaw-slackening $3 billion.
Despite the heaps of cash, the cultural markers achieved and the hard work already put in, however, there was something else simmering away underneath Iovine's skin during that first meeting. Something that perhaps wasn't dealt with in The Defiant Ones, the stunning four-part series about Iovine and Dre's lives and dovetailing career paths that came out in 2017, a piece of filmmaking that not only entertained, but educated an entire new generation about the pair's rise and impact on music, technology and culture. I got the distinct impression that Iovine felt – and feels – that he still has work to do. He has an innate restlessness. I felt it while in London and I can feel it today as we take a tour of his pad, artworks by Jasper Johns, Jean-Michel Basquiat and Andy Warhol dropping in and out of shadow as we walk and talk.
Dr Dre (real name Andre Young) is also somewhere in the house; he's here to talk, a coup considering Dre just doesn't do interviews any more. (I mean, why would he? He's Dr Dre.) Iovine and I poke our heads into one of the upstairs rooms where the producer, rapper and hip-hop icon – fresh from working with Kanye West – is getting camera-ready. Dre, ever polite, stands, grins and does something entirely unnecessary: he introduces himself. As we leave him to get a fresh trim, Iovine quips to everyone but no one in particular, "Why's Dre got a bigger dressing room than I do? It's my fucking house!"

We walk back down the stairs to find a place to talk. Iovine and I settle in what can only be described as an "office" of sorts. "I guess this is a den," the mogul explains. "I do a lot of thinking in here. Some phone calls. I was just in here the other night playing guitar..."
While the rest of the house is a hue of ivory and biscuit with pops of antique furniture, the chosen room has walls the colour of charcoal. In the centre is a large Damien Hirst sculpture – "Baloo" the bear on his back, tumbling with "Mowgli" from The Jungle Book, both covered in pieces of luminescent coral – from a series entitled "Treasures From The Wreck Of The Unbelievable", while on the far wall is an enormous image of an eye's iris (Iovine's own, as it turns out). But it's the details you want to zoom in on here, as that's where you'll find the clues and show-stoppers, all priceless relics from Iovine's distinct career and life.
Against the window there's an original black and red U2 iPod from 2004, when Iovine was still chairman of UMG's Interscope Geffen A&M Records. It is under well-polished plexiglass and signed by the band, Iovine and Steve Jobs.
On the far bookshelf is a single black Maxell C46 cassette tape with "Because The Night" scrawled in red pen on the "A" side label. As Iovine explains to me, "That's the original demo that Bruce [Springsteen] gave to Patti [Smith] in September 1977. I was working with both of them. Bruce had recorded the track but he wasn't happy with it. It was, as he said, 'just another love song'. Incredible song, of course. I told him I thought Patti deserved a hit and asked if I could take it to her. He told me, 'If she can do it, she can have it.' Patti added her own lyrics and it went on to become her biggest single."
'We're thinking about who'll be the next Steve Jobs, the next Bob Iger, the next Dr Dre'
In the corridor that leads from the office to one of many sumptuous living spaces is perhaps the single most important framed piece of paper Iovine owns: the original (2006) patent for the Beats By Dre headphones Dre and Iovine designed and manufactured for Beats Electronics. Looking at it, it's like peering at Iovine's very own Rosetta Stone: a grail after which everything would be different.
"Beats Electronics, Beats headphones and Beats Music streaming service were formed and were successful for two reasons," Iovine explains, as Dre sits down to join us, the pair on two suede armchairs. "Streaming was coming, we knew this from Napster – although the music industry was in denial and had tried to shut it down, the genie was out of the bottle. Piracy on the internet was going to be a problem and it was just a matter of time before more and more people listened to music through a streaming service. The other problem was hardware: the products that people were using to listen to the music. That's where Dre came in. Dre was the sound connoisseur – here was someone who had spent an entire career in a studio, working with music and beats."
A quality streaming platform and great-sounding headphones: Iovine knew, even back then, that these were two of Apple's blind spots. Yes, Apple had put "1,000 songs in your pocket" with the iPod – and beautifully so – but Iovine, ever the pioneer, knew that eventually the company would need more than the flat-out purchasing power of iTunes; they would need a streaming service, available via a subscription that connected all their products and customers in a hub of algorithmically enhanced content.
"We came along at the right time with the things they needed," he continues. "That's why the sale [of Beats to Apple] made sense. I've said before that Beats to me always felt like it belonged with Apple, because of the way Steve [Jobs] and Tim [Cook] were able to marry technology with culture. They knew, as I know, that the really cool shit is happening at the intersection of the most rapidly expanding industries. This is why education has got to change too." Education? "Yes, education. That's the goal."
Ah, so there's the source of that niggle. Who would have thought this would be Jimmy Iovine and Dr Dre's next moonshot: to revolutionise the way institutions, first in America, and then ultimately internationally, educate future generations. "I think [Dre and I] are now in a position to think about who's going to be the next Steve Jobs, the next Bob Iger, the next Dr Dre... It's always been something at the back of my mind," Iovine explains, "and it's staggering to me why no one else is looking at it like we are.
"Look, we always wondered what would happen. Now we know: companies, content companies, are being bought by tech companies. Right? And when we were working on Beats we had a similar problem. We couldn't find employees who could speak both languages: employees that were savvy at the tech and business, the back end, while also kings of creativity, liberal arts and content. It was a problem even before we launched Beats Music. That's why we started looking into it, due to a shortage of hire options for Beats. Now it's no longer an option – this is happening. In 2020, if you want to run with the best, you have to speak both languages; you need to know the 'why' of the other person down the line. And this is what our school is aiming to do: to bring those worlds together to create the next generation of leaders."
On 2 October 2019, Dre and Iovine cut the ribbon on the Iovine And Young Hall, a permanent home for their one-of-a-kind school. The programme started in 2013, with the music entrepreneurs gifting the University Of Southern California $70 million to create their academy, a school where students could earn a unique bachelor's degree in arts, technology and the business of innovation. "I met with Jimmy early on," explains Erica Muhl, an accomplished composer of contemporary classical music who became the first executive director of the Jimmy Iovine And Andre Young Academy and then its new dean when the academy was named the university's newest professional school in 2018 – only the 20th full-standing school in USC's 140-year-old history. "Right from the start it was obvious that what Jimmy wanted was something that had never been done before: to specifically address the need for hybrid thinkers, people who understand all sides of the way business is done today."
Surely, I ask Muhl, trying to breed a generation of multi-skilled innovators isn't without its challenges? Usually, whether in the UK or the US, students will, sooner or later, have to home in on a particular set of attributes – whether that be law, music production, tech or business. Can these challenges be taught to the same students all in one course? "The idea is to find industries where these skills intersect and see what we can learn from them. Take the music industry, for example, [which] is going through its third or fourth largest disruption in under ten years."
'Streaming was coming... The genie was out of the bottle'
For Muhl, Iovine and Dre, ultimately it's about getting students more career-ready: "We have a limited number of years and classes with each student that comes in," Muhl continues. "And the generation that comes in today is more impatient than ever, mostly due to the fact that their access to information has never been so uninhibited. Thus their expectations of their daily lives have changed. But it's not just about going to work sooner; it's about wanting to have an impact once they are there. They have more power in the palm of their hand than any generation in history – and it's power to influence, to understand and to do good. We are what we like to call career agnostic here. For the first time in history students can come to our school, define or redefine their horizons and then become empowered to follow a particular path that might be very different to the one they'd previously thought about."
Students from the Jimmy Iovine And Andre Young Academy have already gone on to land roles with some of tech's biggest companies, becoming product designers at Facebook, AI engineers at Apple, marketing and development executives at Google. "We've also had some students already aiming bigger with their own innovations," continues Muhl. "An extraordinary group that graduated last year have founded a company called Wren and they've developed an application that allows an individual to calculate their carbon footprint within minutes and then do something about it by directly funding a carbon protection programme. They just got their first $1.5m in seed funding. I also have a graduate team developing mock MRIs for paediatric patients and another called Infinity Box, which is all about recyclable shipping materials."
For Dre, such educational opportunities, such a springboard, was something he never even dreamed about growing up. "I grew up around violence. It was only about survival where I was from, you understand?" Dre started out by attending Vanguard Junior High School but was transferred due to gang violence and was mostly raised by his grandmother in the New Wilmington Arms housing project in Compton. Although further down the line he did attempt to enrol in an apprenticeship programme at Northrop Aviation Company, his poor school grades meant he didn't get in. From that point on he focused on his social life and music, becoming DJ "Dr J" at a club called Eve After Dark in the early 1980s. It was here that he met an aspiring rapper called Antoine Carraby, who would later become DJ Yella of NWA. "We know that one of these kids that comes out of our academy has the potential to do something that will change the world," continues Dre. "That's the number one thing for me. To provide that nurturing and start that I never received."
So what about those kids from underprivileged backgrounds? The academy takes around 25 students a year, from about 400 applications, and all presumably must pay fees. Iovine, as always, has an answer: "So we're going to start a high school," he announces, with typical nonchalance. "We're starting it right outside of USC. And it's for that neighbourhood. And it's going to be free. We're doing it with Laurene Powell Jobs [Steve Jobs' widow] and XQ [a fund launched in 2015 to change state schooling in America] and the USC. We want to give underrated kids an edge. We want to market our high school, we want to make it appealing for kids to stay in school and learn. Most don't want to be there." Dre is firmer still: "Most [kids] hate it."
What was Dre's experience of high school? "To be honest with you, it was a pain in the ass. I never liked school. Fortunately for me I was able to build a life and career without it, but that's not possible for everyone. I [now] understand the possibilities it can create. Back in my old school, sure there was math and reading and all that, but nothing for me to get my teeth into. I'm an artist. This thing we're building, it has everything I needed."
"I hated every second of school," nods Iovine, smiling at his business partner. "There wasn't one second of it I enjoyed. Kids nowadays won't stand for that, not the smart ones. All they see all day is Instagram and this and that, while millennials read time and time again how Mark Zuckerberg left school and became a trillionaire. What kids want nowadays is a shot at the ring – that's what they want. So the best way to empower these impatient kids is to give them the tools for this new world we live in: give them an education, combining liberal arts with tech. The thing that Dre and I can sprinkle over the curriculum is our hustle. That's what we as individuals can offer, that "don't quit" attitude. I've never claimed to be smarter than anyone else; I just had more hustle. I could just take more pain than anyone else."
"I don't remember not having hustle," agrees Dre when I ask if he too had that same ferocious drive growing up. "I would hustle if I was cutting grass, just to be able to buy shoes. I came from a place where you had to go out and do your thing if you wanted to have those nice things. It was never going to come to you; you had to go out and fight for it." So who taught you how to strive for the top? A mentor? A teacher you remember? Another artist? "Yeah, I'm sitting next to him," say Dre, laughing as he points at Iovine. "I never liked the business side of things, I just knew I had to take care of it. Beforehand, I had to figure it out myself. Teach myself how to create, be a DJ, how to engineer, and so on."
What about Iovine? Did he have good teachers? "I was very fortunate along the way," he explains. "I came out of Brooklyn, no skills whatsoever. I got a job, I met a woman called Ellie Greenwich, who took me from a job in a clothing store and got me a gig at three different recording studios. Then inside those studios I found my own mentors, people who taught me everything, from how to sweep floors to working a console. A guy named Roy Cicala at the Record Plant studios, while working with John Lennon, taught me how to record a record. Literally step by step, all the while with Lennon on the other side of the microphone. Incredible generosity. And the other man is David Geffen. He's someone who's been a constant with me; I always check in with him. He's turned business into an art form. Great taste, killer instinct. In fact, I'll see him this week. I'll fly to where he's at and then just sit and talk."
Time is almost up; the LA sun is dipping just below the swaying trees that line up like guardsmen at the back of Iovine's yard. After our conversation, we all bump shoulders and continue to dip in and out of topics as we roll back through the house. Dre has family waiting and has to shoot, and Iovine has a 4pm meeting waiting in the living room, although, to be fair, his guests are more than absorbed with the rolling TV news about the death of basketball star Kobe Bryant that happened yesterday. "What a terrible tragedy," Iovine says, shaking his head. "Awful. And [Bryant] was probably just rushing as he knew he had kids waiting for him at his own institution, the Mamba Academy. He didn't want to let them down." Does it make you wonder, I ask, about maybe slowing the pace, about putting the breaks on the hustle? "Slowing down?" Iovine walks off, laughing quietly to himself. After a few paces, he turns, looks at me with his arms outstretched, his palms upturned to the wide, royal blue Californian sky. "What do you mean slow down? I told you: I'm officially retired!" And with that Jimmy Iovine goes back into his house, back to his extraordinary life and back to work.

Land Exchange/Community Property Project: Ruth L. Carlson provided the final report as follows: It is with great pleasure that I submit this final report for the Crane Lake Land Exchange Project. It is finished! Started at the organization of the Town of Crane Lake in 2002 by the US Forest Service, it answered one of the major requests in the first Community Action Plan of more private land ownership. It has been a long, sometimes frustrating project of fifteen years. Records are available with the Town Clerk to follow its progress. This item may be removed from the agenda's Old Business. The corporation formed to comply with US Forest Service rules will be dissolved. I wish to thank the Town Board for their support, our attorney Huck Andresen for his knowledge of land exchanges, consultant Dave Schmidt, deceased, for his knowledge of US Forest Service requests, Deena Congdon for her expertise in land transaction, and I wish to thank the people of Crane Lake for their support. And what will become of the land owned by the Town? Plans must be formed. An item under New Business requires appearing on the agenda, Land Use Project. Manage it well.
Jacque Eggen Memorial Fund: There was no new report. The Board decided that the suggestion of lighting with hanging floral baskets along Gold Coast Road becomes a separate agenda item – Street Lighting. The Board recommended that the people be asked their opinion at the March annual meeting.
VNP-Visitor Center/Campsite: An email was received from VNP Superintendent Bob DeGross suggesting a meeting to share information on the National Park Service's Rivers, Trails and Conservation Assistance (RTCA) program in regard to what the community, DNR and VNP are attempting to achieve in the Crane Lake area. DNR's Scott Kelling and Gary Cerkvenik agree that there should be a meeting. Jim will communicate with all to determine the next step.
Frontier Internet: Jim sent an email to the Clerk, which was forwarded to the Board stating that Frontier has completed all cutovers so the only work that has to be done is at the main station in International Falls. That work should be done by the end of March. Jim also spoke with Verizon. The plan for the tower is that they will be putting equipment there, but not until the budget allows – either this year or 2018.
E) permit ATV travel on Pfeifer Lake Road to help with connection to the Iron Range at Britt.
On February 13 and 14 Steve Koch and Bruce met with Rep. Rob Ecklund, Sen. Tom Bakk, ATVAM lobbyist Ray Bohn, Gary Cerkvenik and trail planner Ron Potter to discuss SF 414 requesting $150,000 to engineer a Master Plan; and to testify before the Minnesota Senate Environmental Committee. Conversations were very positive and the bill was moved forward. The club is being scheduled to testify for the companion bill in the Minnesota House of Representatives.
Trails Report: Deena Congdon was not present to report. The Trails Committee provided a letter to the Board to be sent to the VNP with trail creation and existing trail improvement requests. A motion was made by Butch, supported by Jim, to send the letter to VNP Superintendent Bob DeGross. All voted in favor and the motion carried.
Crane Lake Comprehensive Plan: There was no update. This item will be removed from the agenda.
MN Dot Aeronautics: There was no update. This item will be removed from the agenda.
Lodging Tax Follow-Up Letter: After review of the Ordinance and phone calls to those that have not paid their lodging tax for 2016, the Board agreed that follow up letters should be sent with specific details of amounts owed.
RAMS Re-visit: There was no support of joining Range Association of Municipalities & Schools (RAMS) at this time.
Board of Appeal & Equalization Meeting Date & Time: St. Louis County has set the date and time for the Board of Appeal in Crane Lake as April 11, 2017 between 1 & 2PM. The Meeting will be at the Fellowship Hall.
Other New Business: Jerry reported as Rainy & Namakan Lakes Rule Curve Public Advisory Group member that they plan to have their recommendation ready for the International Joint Commission (IJC) in April. Jerry will be attending a meeting in early March to finalize their proposal.
Comments from Officers: Jerry thanked Ruth L. Carlson for her 15 years of service on the Land Exchange project.
Public Comments: Bruce Beste said that St. Louis County is considering a bounty on Beaver to decrease the population.

Breaking Me Open: Reflecting on International Day of Persons with Disabilities
byKelsey Peterson
December 3rd was International Day of Persons with Disabilities
Since I became a quadriplegic/tetraplegic, there have been drastic changes in my physical activity, my sex life and my general ability to connect with others physically - and in turn energetically and emotionally.
I'm always wondering how these changes and losses from my disability have affected my mental and emotional health, because I feel them.
I struggle with these drastic shifts everyday, asking myself questions like:
How can I feel satisfied and content in this body?
How can I express all of me with this body?
How can I show my love from this body?
What CAN I do now, so that I don't have to be tormented by what I CAN'T do?
When you live in a body like mine - a body that can't feel or move from the chest down - it leaves you feeling trapped inside an insatiable cell, barred by loneliness and separateness.
I am constantly trying to morph my way of moving and connecting into an accessible, authentic, and enjoyable experience for myself, as a person with a disability. How to hug, how to stretch, how to dance, how to make love, how to experience the pleasures of LIFE in new ways, and in turn how to be the happiest and healthiest version of myself.
This is why I will never stop believing and working for a cure for so many of us dealing with paralysis. It's also why I do the hard work necessary for happiness and self-love in the present.
I'm both cursing and celebrating that my disability has broken me open and forced me to let go of things, embrace new ones, and be more creative and vulnerable. It has demanded that I move forward, communicate better, ASK for things and say what's on my mind when my body can't do the talking. It's urged me to dig deeper and plant new flowers; to slowly carve a new path toward empowerment, connection and joy with my tiny little quad hands.
Paralysis has given me a deep sense of longing alongside a chance to learn, to share, and to teach. We're just scratching the surface on these topics. Stay tuned, things are gonna get beautifully and challengingly weird(er).
