Family holds vigil for victim of South Congress stabbing attack
by: KXAN Staff
AUSTIN (KXAN) — Family of the kitchen manager who died in a stabbing attack in south Austin held a vigil Sunday evening in his honor.

Family members of the man who died confirmed his identity as Johnathan Aguilar, a 34-year-old kitchen manager at Freebirds World Burrito.
Remembering Johnathan
Dozens of family and friends gathered near an East Austin home where Aguilar's family lives to honor his life on Sunday. Many people held candles and shed tears as they remembered Aguilar. The group prayed and released balloons into the night sky in his honor.
Esteban Aguilar Jr., Aguilar's uncle, had traveled to Austin to grieve with the rest of their large, extended family. Aguilar Jr. explained that their family has had roots in Austin for more than a century.
"That's why we're always so close, we're always together," Aguilar Jr. said.
Aguilar Jr. described his nephew as a quiet, gentle soul who loved hard rock music.
"He was a kid who went to work, went home, took care of his son and his wife," Aguilar Jr. said of his nephew. "A good kid, you know."
Aguilar Jr., who had a career in law enforcement, says he is awaiting more information from the police investigation into this case.
"I'm just knowing that it will come out at the end, you know," he said.

For the time being, he said, the family will spend time together and continue sharing their memories of Aguilar.
"It is what it is," Aguilar Jr. said. "We're going to go on, but remember [Johnathan], that's what we have to do."
Joshua Najera, the boyfriend of Aguilar's sister, explained that Aguilar had become a dear friend of his over the past few years. Najera said they all were scheduled to hang out later on the day that Aguilar was killed.
"He was kind, loving, wonderful smile," Najera said of Aguilar, tearing up at the prospect of going back to Aguilar's place again without him there.
"It will be really hard just going over there and just being reminded of him," Najera said through tears, "because damn he was a great person. He would have been my brother-in-law, I love him."
The attack
According to the family, Aguilar was opening the store when the suspect entered. They say he was there with another manager.
Police confirmed Saturday that the suspect that killed him and injured another man is homeless.
On Saturday morning, the restaurant was shut with a sign in the window reading, "This location is temporarily closed. Our thoughts are with our Tribe and their family members."
The restaurant at the center of the incident remains closed, at last report.

Police described the attack on Friday morning as "completely random."
They say the suspect assaulted a customer at a coffee shop "for no apparent reason," then ran to a nearby restaurant where he stabbed two people, before climbing up and jumping off the roof of the building.
APD says the suspect, who is 27 years old, is in the hospital due to injuries from jumping off the roof. Police said he remains in critical condition Friday evening, after sustaining life-threatening injuries.
Sgt. David Daniels with APD said the suspect ran from Bennu Coffee on Congress Avenue, where he injured one person and caused the initial call at 7:49 a.m. Police said in a press release Friday night that the suspect had "assaulted another patron for no apparent reason." During the struggle to arrest the suspect, he was able to break free and ran from the business, police said.
A witness at the coffee shop, Stacy Romine, said the suspect hit an elderly man in the back of the head with an object. The witness said the elderly man was sitting with his wife, completely unaware of what was about to happen, and had his back to the suspect.
"I feel like everybody immediately responded because they saw this man being assaulted," Romine said, noting she'd never seen the suspect before at the coffee shop. "My reaction — I think I probably screamed and said to stop him. Someone on his laptop, another gentleman, jumped on top of him. People are trying to stop him — even a police officer came through the door. And there's four men trying to, like, hold this guy down and couldn't keep him apprehended and he ran toward the door."
Meanwhile, the suspect ran into Freebirds, then stabbed two people inside, Daniels said. One of those victims, a man in his 20s, was pronounced dead when medics found him. The other victim was taken to the hospital after ATCEMS performed CPR on-scene. Austin police reported Friday evening that he was in stable but serious condition.
The suspect made it out of Freebirds, and then climbed to the roof of a nearby business.
A KXAN viewer shared the below video near the scene, showing police in the area. The suspect is seen climbing up a building, and then taking his shirt off.
"It looked like he came out of Freebirds," the viewer said. "Then he ran down the area between the building and the creek area, he then climbed a ladder laying against the building. He jumped from that ladder to the ladder attached to the building." The viewer said as the police officer got closer to him, the man tried to push the construction ladder over.
Daniels said then the suspect jumped off the roof and was hurt. Daniels said the suspect is still alive and was taken to the hospital.
Brice Bowden, a friend and coworker of Aguilar's, says that he worked with him from 2008 to 2016.
"John was a beautiful, kind and loving soul," said Bowden.
Bowden said Aguilar had a child. He says that the restaurant has two doors that employees often left unlocked, as they didn't expect anything to happen. He says he believes the restaurant's general manager was also stabbed, but isn't sure.
KXAN is not naming other victims because police have not confirmed their identities.
Freebirds World Burrito CEO Alex Eagle sent a statement saying, in part, the restaurant is closed until further notice.
Freebirds World Burrito is cooperating with authorities who are investigating the incident that took place at our South Congress location. Our thoughts are with our Tribe members and their families who have been affected by this tragedy. The location will remain closed until further notice and we ask for respect of our Tribe members' privacy during this difficult time.

Bennu Coffee sent a statement Friday afternoon about the "tragic incident" and thanked everyone for their concern about those involved. It said its South Congress location will be closed at least through the rest of the day.
We are heartbroken about the injuries to innocent people and the loss of life and are fully cooperating with authorities. Our number one priority is the safety of our customers and employees.
Bennu Coffee statement
In a tweet on Friday afternoon, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said:
"When all facts are revealed, I bet you'll learn that the killer was a homeless man with prior arrests. If so, Austin's reckless homeless policy puts lives in danger to murders like this. Austin leaders must answer for their perilous policies."
Austin Mayor Steve Adler delivered his condolences on Twitter Friday night.
My prayers–and those of our city–are with the victims of today's horrible stabbing on South Congress, as well as their families.
— Mayor Adler (@MayorAdler) January 4, 2020
Adler also told KXAN Investigator Kevin Clark over the phone that Gov. Abbott's tweet was "incorrect, misleading and wrong."
He went on to add, "To equate experiencing homelessness with being a criminal is incorrect."
In another tweet on Saturday, Gov. Abbott insisted he was "not attacking homelessness."
He added, "I'm criticizing the lawlessness promoted by the City of Austin.
"The City's top job is public safety and they are failing. Yesterday's tragic murder is the most recent example."
Police are asking anyone with video or information about this incident to call Crime Stoppers at 512-472-TIPS or email homicide.apd@austintexas.gov. You may remain anonymous.
The crime is the first homicide in Austin of 2020.
Stabbings in Austin
KXAN Investigates: Austin stabbing victims say attacks could be better tracked
In February 2019, a KXAN investigation analyzed stabbing crimes in Austin. At that time, Austin had 12 deadly stabbings since 2016, including the first two homicides of 2019. KXAN is working to get updated official numbers from this past year from APD, but KXAN's records indicate there were 3 fatal stabbings in 2019. KXAN is also following up with Austin police, who at the time did not separately monitor stabbings.
World News / 1 hour ago
ST. LOUIS (AP) — A 21-year-old eastern Missouri woman who was seen inside the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6 riot made her initial court appearance.
Emily Hernandez, of Sullivan, was released after the virtual hearing Tuesday. She was ordered to remain in the eastern district of Missouri. Her next court appearance will be in Washington D.C.


One of the many mistakes of the Bush administration was cancelling the uptick rule. This has caused undue damage among the financial and other stocks. We have enough problems now without the hedge funds pounding stocks undeservedly to satisfy their need for profit.


Today, I'm sharing Korean Pickled Onion, we call Yangpa Jangajji.
It is one of the essential Korean pickle/preserved foods you must have in your refrigerator!
It goes so deliciously with Korean BBQ (My favorite cut of meat to eat this pickle is Samgyeopsal!), Korean savory pancakes, dumplings and more!
This Korean pickled onion can be replace for kimchi, if kimchi is not available for the refreshing savory sour taste.
The ingredients are super simple, and directions of this recipe is can't be easier!
In a sauce pan, add water, soy sauce, sugar and white vinegar and stir with a spoon so sugar will dissolve. Bring it to boil over high heat then reduce heat immediately to medium and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
Add fresh lemon juice form 1 lemon into pickling liquid and stir, set aside.
Mean while, cut onion into bite size cubes, and slice chilies.
Device onion and chilies equally into 3 of 32oz. mason jars, or any container you are using. Place chili slices between onions, so spiciness will spread out evenly.
Pour still warm pickling liquid over onion and chilies, into mason jars.
Cover tightly with lids and let it cool on your kitchen counter. When it's cool, place pickle jars in your refrigerator. You can eat this pickle right after it cooled down but I like it the best after a couple days.
After you ate all the onions and chili, you probably have some pickling liquid left. Don't through away! Bring the liquid to boil (to get rid of excess moister from onion), replace into container and eat as a dipping sauce for dumplings, savory pancakes and etc!
Are you able to make more pickled onions by just adding more raw onions to the liquid?
If you meant making another batch of pickles; I don't recommend to do that way, because the vegetables you add at the first time soak up all the sweet, sour and saltiness form the liquid. (also the vegetables leave a lot of natural water.) The leftover liquid is great for dipping sauce or salad dressing. If you really want to use it again, boil the leftover liquid to get rid of extra moister from the vegetables, but there's no guarantee it will taste same as the first one though.
Hi! Chanced upon this post. May I know how long can the jar of pickled onion be kept for?
I have same question as the question above from Jan.
How long can it be kept in the refrigerator? Love this recipe! Thanks.
Can lower sodium soy sauce be used? I have a family member who has to watch their sodium intake but I'd really like to make these. Thanks!
Sorry for my late reply!! But yes, you can use low sodium soy sauce!
Thank you for your recipe. I live in Korea and I accidentally ordered 15kg of onions! Hahaha! I will use some to make rhis 반찬! God bless you and hope you have a lovely day.
안녕하세요! That's a lot of onions!!! Wow! lol there will be lots of yummy banchan for sure!! Hope you have a lovely day too!

Mavericks Even Series Against Heat at 2-2 Behind Dirk Nowitzki
June 8, 2011 Updated: Aug. 28, 2017 1:07 p.m.
DALLAS (AP) -- Dirk Nowitzki and the Dallas Mavericks have pulled off another stunning comeback, tying the NBA finals at two games each.
And this time, Nowitzki did it while battling the flu.
Nowitzki shook off three poor quarters to score 10 of his 21 points in the final period as the Mavericks outscored the Miami Heat 21-9 over the final 10:12 for an 86-83 victory in a memorable Game 4 on Tuesday night.
The Mavs avoided going down 3-1, a deficit no team has ever overcome in the finals, and guaranteed the series will return to Miami for a Game 6 on Sunday night. Game 5 is Thursday in Dallas.
"We just played with incredible heart and passion," Dallas center Tyson Chandler said.
Dwyane Wade scored 32 points, but fumbled an inbounds pass with 6.7 seconds left. He knocked the ball back to Mike Miller for a potential tying 3-pointer, but it wasn't even close to hitting the rim.
Chris Bosh scored 24 points for Miami, but the Heat got a stunningly unproductive game from their biggest star, LeBron James. He scored only eight points, making just 3 of 11 shots. He contributed nine rebounds and seven assists, but his lack of scoring sticks out because of the loss.
Nowitzki opened the game looking just fine, making his first three shots. But then he missed 10 of 11, and missed a free throw for the first time since Game 4 of the conference finals. By then, word spread of his illness.
With the game -- and likely the series -- on the line, Nowitzki found a way to come through. He made only 2 of 6 shots, but that included a terrific layup with 14.4 seconds left; he made all six of his free throws.
Hey, if he could win Game 2 with a left-handed layup two days after tearing a tendon in the tip of his middle finger, what's a little temperature?
"We all seen him go through walkthroughs," Chandler said. "Every time he started to talk he started coughing. He was wheezing."
Miami was poised to take a commanding lead in the series when Udonis Haslem hit a jumper that made it 74-65 early in the fourth quarter. It was the Heat's biggest lead and the way Nowitzki was playing, the Mavericks didn't seem capable of pulling off another rally like the 22-5 finish that won Game 2.
Yet Jason Terry -- who kick-started that comeback with six straight points -- made consecutive baskets, and the surge was on. Terry ended up capping it with two free throws with 6.7 seconds left that forced Miami to need a 3-pointer.
Dallas finally got the balanced scoring attack it wanted.
Terry had 17, Shawn Marion 16 and Chandler had 13 points and 16 rebounds.
DeShawn Stevenson, who moved to the bench so J.J. Barea could join the starting lineup, scored 11 points.
Miami, as usual, got little beyond its three superstars. Miller scored six points, Mario Chalmers had five and Haslem and Joel Anthony each scored four points.
The series is up for grabs now. Both teams are 1-1 at home, so all those stats about who wins under various circumstances seem pretty moot.
The bottom line is, it's a best-of-three series now.
It was an electric night from the start, with 20,430 fans again clad in their blue "The Time Is Now" giveaway T-shirts standing and screaming from the time Kelly Clarkson finished the national anthem.
The score was tight most of the night. Each team had its share of runs, but there also were long stretches of trading baskets.
The Mavs made half their shots in the first quarter, but gave up so many offensive rebounds -- nine in the first 10 minutes, matching Miami's total for Game 3 -- that the Heat tied it after one period despite shooting only 29 percent.
Miami got going in the second quarter, putting together a 12-2 spurt. Soon after Haslem went to the bench with three fouls, Dallas went back ahead being a 9-0 run fueled by defense: a travel, a charge, a shot-clock violation and two turnovers. Then it was Wade's turn.
He made two tough shots, then somehow got a shot to fall after being hit in the body and arms while driving to the rim. That three-point play started a 7-2 jag that left Miami up 47-45 at halftime.
Both teams sensed the game and series was on the line at the start of the third quarter. The action became more physical and both teams were up for the challenge, putting together six lead changes and five ties in the first 6:11.
In one flurry, Bosh hit a jumper with a man in his face, Barea darted to the rim and somehow got up a shot that then spun off the backboard and rim before falling, followed by Wade making a jumper over Marion as the shot clock was running out. Marion walked away shaking his head, smirking and saying, "I don't know, I don't know." Then Marion came back and banked in a hook shot over James.
NOTES: Stevenson scored in double figures for the first time since Feb. 2. ... Marion's first break this game was longer than he sat out all the previous games. ... Finals jitters? Bosh and Terry each missed their first two free throws. Both were making 81 percent of their foul shots this series. ... Mavs coach Rick Carlisle got a technical foul late in the first quarter for questioning what looked like a questionable call. All Carlisle appeared to say was, "C'mon, Monty," with his hands up and a smirk on his face. ... The elderly fan who appeared shaken up when two players flew into him during the second quarter of Game 3 was back in his usual courtside seat.

Highest and Best Use – Optimizing Commercial Real Estate
Before professional appraisers can assign a market value to a property, they must perform two preliminary steps. First, they must gather and analyze the property market and marketability. Secondly, the appraiser determines the highest and best use by performing a highest and best use analysis. In this article, we'll define and explore highest and best use. We will also illustrate the concept with a case study, provide tips and answer FAQs.
What Does "Highest and Best Use" Mean?
The Appraisal Institute uses this definition for highest and best use:
"The reasonably probable and legal use of vacant land or an improved property that is physically possible, appropriately supported, financially feasible, and that results in the highest value."
Highest and best use analysis proceeds from the uses of land as if unused. However, it also accounts for existing land improvements, such as buildings, and possible changes to those improvements.
The appraiser will help you determine whether you should develop the land or leave it vacant. If left vacant, the appraiser should estimate when future development would be financially feasible. For land already developed, appraisers consider further improvements to optimize the property's highest and best use. That is, the appraiser determines whether to keep, alter or demolish existing improvements. Furthermore, if the property warrants renovation or redevelopment, the appraiser should estimate when to build the new improvements.
For more information, read this comprehensive guide to commercial real estate appraisals. In addition, you can check out this complete guide to commercial remodeling and building renovation.
Video: What is the Definition of Highest and Best Use?
How to Perform a Highest and Best Use Analysis
If existing property, as improved, out-values the land as though vacant, then improvement is the highest and best use. The appraiser starts the highest and best use analysis by evaluating the land as though vacant. Then, the appraiser evaluates an improved property's highest and best use via the property's demolition, continuation or modification. The effort the appraiser expends analyzing the highest and best use of the land as though vacant varies. If the land truly is vacant, then the appraiser concentrates on highest and best use of the land. However, improvements outvaluing the raw land will shift focus to highest and best use analysis of the property as improved.
Highest and Best Use of "Land as if Vacant"
The definition of highest and best use of land as if vacant requires appraisers evaluate the following four criteria.
1. Legal Permissibility
Appraisers begin their highest and best use analysis reviewing building codes, zoning, private restrictions, environmental regulations and historic controls. Furthermore, they evaluate whether they can successfully appeal any restrictions in order to realize highest and best use. Certain private restrictions involving titles, deeds and long-term leases might impact building heights, setbacks and materials. Some local ordinances can increase costs without prohibiting use of the land. For example, a municipality might require an oversized water retention basin for a proposed shopping center. Historic controls can stop development right in its tracks, as can environmental regulations.
2. Physical Possibility
Appraisers evaluate land characteristics, including terrain, shape, size, frontage, depth, irregular shape, accessibility and risk of natural disasters. Obviously, land that is easier to access has higher utility. Naturally, views, or lack thereof, might affect certain types of properties (i.e., apartment buildings) but not others (i.e., factories). Clearly, requirements like grading or foundation construction can add costs, reducing the site's competitiveness relative to nearby suitable sites. Other factors might include subsoil, topography, and proximity to sewers and utilities.
3. Financial Feasibility
Once a land parcel passes the legal and physical tests, appraisers next turn to financial feasibility. Generally, land use that delivers value in line with its costs is financially feasible. To that end, the appraiser uses data from the earlier market/marketability study to evaluate the property's financial feasibility. Without enough demand for the property's use, income will be insufficient for profitable results. Specifically, income must exceed the total of financial obligations, operating expenses and capital amortization.
Timing might be a factor, due in part to community changes. A retail property might be the highest and best use in several later, but apartments might provide better returns today. One can contemplate a mixed use facility that accommodates both uses. In other words, the developer could create the apartments now and postpone retail development until the time is ripe.
Appraisers can use the three valuation methods we describe in our article on commercial real estate appraisals. For income-producing alternatives, the appraiser estimates net operating income (NOI) for each use. From these estimates, the appraiser can identify which uses provide the best rates of return. To be financially feasible, the property must generate a positive rate of return. Appraisers must also evaluate risks, such as a specific use's continued relevance.
4. Maximum Productivity
The appraiser has eliminated uses that fail any of the first three tests. Therefore, it's time to identify the use with maximum productivity. First, for a use to be the highest and best use, it must be financially feasible. However, it should also provide the best rate of return, given the amount of risk. As described earlier, the appraiser can estimate both NOI and risk in order to figure the risk-adjusted rate of return.
Alternatively, the appraiser can adopt the cost approach to find the use that maximizes the land's residual value. The use includes the land and improvements. This technique estimates the value of the use and then subtracts the costs. Specifically, costs include labor, capital and entrepreneurial effort.
A third approach is to investigate the going cost of land for various uses. For instance, apartment land might cost less than retail land. This is strong evidence that retail land is more valuable, as voted and ultimately determined by buyers' dollars.
Appraisers can indicate the maximally productive use in general terms. For example, the highest and best use might be a commercial building or an office building. In some cases, market/marketability data may require a more specific recommendation. In other words, the appraiser might specify a 10-story office building or a 25,000-square-foot retail store.
Highest and Best Use of "Property as Improved"
Land with developed property requires a highest and best use analysis in light of existing improvements. The three possible outcomes are:
Continue the Existing Use: The acquirer might simply buy the existing property and leave it as is. Alternatively, the acquirer can undertake renovation, rehabilitation or expansion of the property.
Modify the Existing Use: The acquirer will adapt or convert the existing property to a new use. For example, developers can repurpose an old factory building as loft apartments.
Demolish the Existing Improvements and Redevelop: The acquirer might decide to demolish an existing improvement and redevelop the site. For example, the buyer might acquire an abandoned apartment building and replace it with a hotel. To this end, you can read the articles Can I Buy an Apartment Building? and Multifamily For Sale: Complete Buyer's Guide.
Highest and Best Use Case Study
Imagine a 100-year-old brick building in the central business district of a small city. The building currently serves as a retail space. The building is 15,000 square feet (SQFT), and its estimated value as vacant land is $150,000 ($10/SQFT). Some residents and businesses have relocated elsewhere over time. The building is 11% vacant and currently generates rent of $12/SQFT. The cost of operating the property is $34,000 annually and the NOI is $126,200. Professionally, the appraiser uses a 9% cap rate, yielding a property value of $1,402,222 (i.e., $126,200 / 0.09).
Alternatively, you could convert the property to an office building. Market and marketability research indicate the neighborhood is conducive to professionals, such as accountants, lawyers, designers, and architects. Interestingly, local office rent is $21/SQFT, and is increasing 2% per annum. Operating costs are about $5/SQFT on average and increasing by $0.25 per year.
Factually, redevelopment will cost $850,000 in Year-1, with an average vacancy of 75% during the renovations. Helpfully, vacancy will drop to 20% in Year-2 and then stabilize at a vacancy of only 5%. Of course, this equates to an occupancy rate of 95%, which is quite good. Resale after Year-5 earns $2,629,402, from dividing Year-6 NOI by the 9% cap rate. The net present value of all cash flows at a 10% discount rate is $1,485,848.
Based on this highest and best use analysis, the appraiser recommends converting the property to office space. This will maximize returns, as it produces additional value of ($1,485,848 — $1,402,222), or $83,626.
Tips for Highest and Best Use Analysis
We have formulated our best tips for the highest and best use as responses to four crucial questions. Appraisers and developers must be crystal clear on the answers to these questions to avoid costly mistakes. The four questions are:
What can I do with the property? This requires that you understand not only zoning and other public restrictions relevant to a highest and best use analysis, but private restrictions as well. Private restrictions can take the form of deed or lease restrictions, and more.
What is physically practical? Some uses of the property simply won't work from a physical standpoint. For example, you likely can't repurpose an old apartment building for heavy-duty manufacturing without having to demolish the old building first.
Which uses are worth my time and money? In other words, how much money will you have to sink into the property to profit from improvement? Furthermore, will the return on improvement be the best use of your money?
Which use maximizes my return? You should try to make your estimates as precise as possible. Moreover, you should put all estimates on an equal footing by taking the net present value of each use.
Finally, if you hit a roadblock that you can't overcome, perhaps you should walk away from the deal. There might be better ways for you to invest your money.
Frequently Asked Questions: Highest and Best Use
How do commercial real estate appraisals help determine highest and best use?
First, they determine if the use is legal and physically possible. Next, they identify which remaining uses are financially feasible. Finally, they specify which financially feasible use provides the best return on a risk-adjusted basis.
How do you determine land value?
You evaluate the land as if vacant. You can estimate the NOI of any projected use, and then plug in a cap rate to obtain the value. Or you can compare the going rates per square foot of land uses. Alternatively, you can estimate the present values of projected revenue minus the cost of improvement.
What is a feasibility study?
A feasibility study is an evaluation of whether a proposal is practical. You can consider the first three tests of the highest and best use analysis as a feasibility study. That's because only properties that pass these tests have the potential to be the highest and best use. If none pass, the entire project needs re-evaluation.
How do I find a good commercial real estate appraiser?
A good place to start is your local Appraisal Institute chapter. In addition, we at Assets America® have long experience with professional appraisers.

This section summarizes main features and key functionality.
Read-and-write throughput is provided by concurrent main-memory data structures and a highly optimized distribution infrastructure. Applications can make copies of data dynamically in memory through synchronous or asynchronous replication for high read throughput or partition the data across many system members to achieve high read-and-write throughput. Data partitioning doubles the aggregate throughput if the data access is fairly balanced across the entire data set. Linear increase in throughput is limited only by the backbone network capacity.
The optimized caching layer minimizes context switches between threads and processes. It manages data in highly concurrent structures to minimize contention points. Communication to peer members is synchronous if the receivers can keep up, which keeps the latency for data distribution to a minimum. Servers manage object graphs in serialized form to reduce the strain on the garbage collector.
Subscription management (interest registration and continuous queries) is partitioned across server data stores, ensuring that a subscription is processed only once for all interested clients. The resulting improvements in CPU use and bandwidth utilization improve throughput and reduce latency for client subscriptions.
Scalability is achieved through dynamic partitioning of data across many members and spreading the data load uniformly across the servers. For "hot" data, you can configure the system to expand dynamically to create more copies of the data. You can also provision application behavior to run in a distributed manner in close proximity to the data it needs.
You can also improve scalability by implementing asynchronous "write behind" of data changes to external data stores, like a database. This avoids a bottleneck by queuing all updates in order and redundantly. You can also conflate updates and propagate them in batch to the database.
In addition to guaranteed consistent copies of data in memory, applications can persist data to disk on one or more members synchronously or asynchronously by using a "shared nothing disk architecture." All asynchronous events (store-forward events) are redundantly managed in at least two members such that if one server fails, the redundant one takes over. All clients connect to logical servers, and the client fails over automatically to alternate servers in a group during failures or when servers become unresponsive.
Publish/subscribe systems offer a data-distribution service where new events are published into the system and routed to all interested subscribers in a reliable manner. Traditional messaging platforms focus on message delivery, but often the receiving applications need access to related data before they can process the event. This requires them to access a standard database when the event is delivered, limiting the subscriber by the speed of the database.
Data and events are offered through a single system. Data is managed as objects in one or more distributed data regions, similar to tables in a database. Applications simply insert, update, or delete objects in data regions, and the platform delivers the object changes to the subscribers. The subscriber receiving the event has direct access to the related data in local memory or can fetch the data from one of the other members through a single hop.
You can execute application business logic in parallel on members. The data-aware function-execution service permits execution of arbitrary, data-dependent application functions on the members where the data is partitioned for locality of reference and scale.
By colocating the relevant data and parallelizing the calculation, you increase overall throughput. The calculation latency is inversely proportional to the number of members on which it can be parallelized.
The fundamental premise is to route the function transparently to the application that carries the data subset required by the function and to avoid moving data around on the network. Application function can be executed on only one member, in parallel on a subset of members, or in parallel across all members. This programming model is similar to the popular Map-Reduce model from Google. Data-aware function routing is most appropriate for applications that require iteration over multiple data items (such as a query or custom aggregation function).
Each distributed system member manages data on disk files independent of other members. Failures in disks or cache failures in one member do not affect the ability of another cache instance to operate safely on its disk files. This "shared nothing" persistence architecture allows applications to be configured such that different classes of data are persisted on different members across the system, dramatically increasing the overall throughput of the application even when disk persistence is configured for application objects.
Unlike a traditional database system, separate files are not used to manage data and transaction logs. All data updates are appended to files that are similar to transactional logs of traditional databases. You can avoid disk-seek times if the disk is not concurrently used by other processes, and the only cost incurred is the rotational latency.
Clients can send individual data requests directly to the server holding the data key, avoiding multiple hops to locate data that is partitioned. Metadata in the client identifies the correct server. This feature improves performance and client access to partitioned regions in the server tier.
There may be multiple, distinct users in client applications. This feature accommodates installations in which clients are embedded in application servers and each application server supports data requests from many users. Each user may be authorized to access a small subset of data on the servers, as in a customer application where each customer can access only their own orders and shipments. Each user in the client connects to the server with its own set of credentials and has its own access authorization to the server cache.
Scalability problems can result from data sites being spread out geographically across a wide-area network (WAN). Models address these topologies, ranging from a single peer-to-peer cluster to reliable communications between data centers across the WAN. This model allows distributed systems to scale out in an unbounded and loosely coupled fashion without loss of performance, reliability or data consistency.
At the core of this architecture is the gateway sender configuration used for distributing region events to a remote site. You can deploy gateway sender instances in parallel, which enables an increase in throughput for distributing region events across the WAN. You can also configure gateway sender queues for persistence and high availability to avoid data loss in the case of a member failure.
In messaging systems like Java Message Service, clients subscribe to topics and queues. Any message delivered to a topic is sent to the subscriber. GemFire allows continuous querying by having applications express complex interest using Object Query Language.
C#, C++ and Java applications can share application business objects without going through a transformation layer such as SOAP or XML. The server side behavior, though implemented in Java, provides a unique native cache for C++ and .NET applications. Application objects can be managed in the C++ process heap and distributed to other processes using a common "on-the-wire" representation for objects. A C++ serialized object can be directly deserialized as an equivalent Java or C# object. A change to a business object in one language can trigger reliable notifications in applications written in the other supported languages.

We have a conversation with our friend Kirsten about the fine line between edginess and integrity when you are creating art as a Christian, and in the middle of it all we end up talking about many other tangential topics, which is mainly the reason for the length of this episode. We also share a bit about what the Christian response to tattoos and piercings should be (one of Kirsten's favorite topics), cause, you know, body art.
Oh, and we have a new website. A real website this time. Christianartistshow.com!
God's Not Dead: We talked a bit about this movie and the fact that it really wasn't all that great, but we didn't get into the specifics because someone already did that for us (and he did a much better job then we could have). So check out this video!
Exodus: Gods and Kings: We also don't recommend seeing this movie. At least if you get angry at horrible inaccurate movies about Biblical events.
Noah Score: But if you like film scores (like Caleb), you should check out this.
Thou Shalt Not Judge?: Here's a fantastic video explaining the Bible's actual views on judging.
The Dragonlance Chronicles: Caleb recommends this fantasy adventure series, especially if you like classic Tolkien-esque fantasy. Lots of fun, lovable characters and epic adventure.
David Farland's Million Dollar Outlines: Caleb also recommends this fantastic book on outlining a novel. David Farland talks about the theory of stories preparing your brain for dealing with stressful situations in this one. Check it out!
The Rest Is Up To You: A fantastic Relient K song about being responsible for your own actions. We recommend it. And you'll probably hear us talk about Relient K a lot on this podcast. 'Cause we like them.

Open Cities 13 Winter Break Reading
Posted: March 5th, 2010 ˑ Filled under: Open Cities Blog ˑ No Comments
Sometimes fiction may reveal more than statistics. In a footloose world, bookstalls in airports and railway stations prepare travellers for their journey. On display are travelogues on cities they intend to visit, reassuringly from the perspective of their point of departure. For those with an appetite for greater displacement there are authors from ethnic minorities who unravel their ambiguous relations between their adoptive countries and their home lands. Like many travellers they are living in cosmopolitan cities and contributing to their make-up. Written by displaced people from all over the world novels about their present or their past may shed some different perspectives on the meaning of 'open cities'.
Multiculturalism from West to East
Staying in Europe, there is Herta Mueller's The Land of Green Plums (1999, Granta Books). This tale of exclusion takes place in Rumania under dictatorship. In an atmosphere of all pervasive fear students from ethnic minorities who are expected to enter integrated adult life are dismissed from their jobs, their only tie with legitimacy. They perceive themselves as 'transfinite', without a place between their confused exiled ancestry, their non belonging to majority rule, their dehumanisation by torture, abuse and deception. Hanging themselves and jumping from windows they exercise ultimate self-exclusion. Emigrated to Berlin, fleeing Ceaucescu's Securitate, Mueller writes about the limbo which a growing number of emigrates, immigrants, in-migrants inhabit – for ever searching a self, a compromise between their childhood memories and the persona constructed in their adopted cities.
Dia 1 Herta Mueller The Land of Green Plums
Conversely, The Ministry of Pain by Dubravka Ugresic (2005, Telegram) tells the tale of an immigrant from Croatia to Western Europe. Refugee in the Netherlands, she has been asked to teach the differences between the cultures which had made up Yugoslavia. Yet, she is criticised by post-Yugoslavia political correctness by Dutch natives and 'émigré' ex-Yugoslavs alike. She conveys her dual sense of not belonging anywhere anymore while grappling with the humility of an educated woman who is forced to live off social handouts. Meanwhile, her displaced setting enables her to reflect on the discords between the various ethnic factions during the demise of Yugoslavia and ever after.
Dia 2 Dubravka Ugresic The Ministry of Pain
Further afield in time and space, Ali and Nino by Kurban Said (2000, first published in Germany in1937, Vintage) takes place in the Caucasus during the Russian occupation between a Muslim Azerbaijani boy and an Orthodox Christian Georgian girl. Seen through the eyes of the novel's well to do adolescents the novel depicts the customs of Muslims, Armenians and Georgian Orthodox Christians in Baku, in a summer resort in the Georgian mountains and in Persia. A fascinating background to cultural pluralism at the interface of Europe and Asia the story takes off before the first world war and the Russian revolutions and leads through the first world war and its disastrous effect on the short lived Republic of Azerbaijan. Abundance of oil had allured Nobel, the Russians and the Ottomans, followed by the British who in leaving too early opened the flood gates to a Soviet invasion. Lessons for openness are that territorial conquests have no ideological bounds but they are bound to destroy long standing multicultural coexistence.
Dia 3 Kurban Said Ali and Nino
Khaled Hossein's A Thousand Splendid Suns (2007, Bloomsbury) is another tale of geopolitical upheaval, this time in Central Asia. The backcloth is the fall of the Afghan monarchy, Soviet domination till 1992, subsequent Taliban regime (1964-2003) to the story of Mariam, an illegitimate child of a lower cast Harami mother and a wealthy father who married her off to an old man. Displaced, disgraced, maltreated she builds a world of female relations to counter male violence with ultimate violence, while continuously longing for the impossibility of a 'home' in the nomadic life of a refugee. In The Kite Runner (2003, Bloomsbury), Khaled Hossein reflects his own trajectory as a rich exile boy of a Pashtun tribe to the United States, leaving his troubled world behind while destroying his most loyal supporter, a Hazara servant descendant of Moguls. Here the cultural clashes are among local Muslim factions, temporary criss-cross allegiances with the West, but also male rivalry and betrayal, a legacy which cannot bring the remorse return of the author any solace.
Dia 4 Khaled Hossein A Thousand Splendid Suns
Miss Chopstick by Xinran (2008, Vintage) is an account of cultural clashes between country and city lived by women. It is about how three sisters from rural China grapple with life in the big city Nanjing against the context of breathtaking social change since the cultural revolution. Through these three trajectories the female author also comments on the chances of differently gifted girls in a society which is reinforcing its class structure. While openness of the city gives all of them a better life chance than the countryside, menial and hard work has more survival power then opportunities for intellectuals.

This is just a random sample of an enormous wealth of literature by authors who have experienced displacement, how cities have received them and how they have adapted to their host cities in turn.

I'm Not Skinny: Ipsy, I'm in love with you Ipsy.
Ipsy, I'm in love with you Ipsy.
I feel like I hit the motherlode (a Sims 3 reference for any of you Simmers). However, seriously this is the most amazing beauty box - bag I've gotten so far! It's like they continue to get more amazing. I'm blown away.
All 5 of the products from my June Ipsy Glam Bag are full size, and thanks to ipsyMatch they are epic and perfect for me. The June 2013 Ipsy Glam Bag aims to encourage our wild side. Get a little playful, you foxy minx you. Even the bag (which is leopard print with a neon zipper and inside lining) says HAVE FUN IT'S SUMMER!
Alright, enough of my babble right. You're just thinking WHAT DID YOU GET, WHAT DID YOU GET!? Which is what I was thinking when my sparkly pink bubble wrapped mail showed up.
This product retails for $6.00. The color is great, really good pigment , a little bit goes a long way and it's pretty simple to blend. If you're looking for a long wearing, long lasting blush...this is it.
Intended to lift and brighten the eye, dark circles and blemishes. I haven't tried this yet, but as a life long insomniac I can say that my now 29 year old eyes are RAVAGED with those evil dark circles and I'm in constant search of a product that will help me look and feel human again. Without actually using concealer because clearly my 'girly' transition isn't complete. Oh, it retails at $18.00 a pencil.
Really you had me at the cat logo, because I'm a crazy cat lady and was even before it was cool. ☺ I took one look at these and was in love, then I tried a little bit of the gold and birds sang to me. I have a roaring 20's party to attend on Tuesday, and now I have my make up for that. Smooth, neat application with a non greasy finish. YES PLEASE! Retails at a very affordable $4.49.
This might be a good time to mention if you sign up for ipsy's glam bag you also get access to coupon codes for the products included in each bag. You should probably sign up.
A moisturizing lip pencil that doubles as a highly pigmented color. I'm a fan of the high pigmented lip look, and have been playing around with that much more so I'm sure I'll have fun with this product. This particular color is a matte, which I'm finding I really do like. I tend to like things glossy but something about a matte lip looks so complex and sophisticated. This product retails at $12.00.
WOW! Just WOW! This might replace every other eyeliner I have. I might invest in several of the colors and actually toss everything else. I don't know if it's the brush or the gel formula, I'm sure it's actually a combination of the two but this made eyeliner easy. I'm going to have some purple smoky eye pictures coming up in the future. This product retails at $21.00 and I'd pay that for it.
1. I pay a mere $10.00 a month for IPSY and this bag was well worth it. It's my second bag, and I'm more in love this time than I was with the last one, and the last bag had nail polish.
2. These are great products. I'm in love with/planning to invest in at least 3 out of the 5 products in this bag.
3. Why haven't you signed up yet!?
Please remember if you're clicking links to join from here that I did use my referral code, because I do like free things and earning points. If enough people sign up, I could potentially get a month or so for free. However, I'm paying for this bag, no one is giving me free things to review these products or to talk about these bags.
Wow that is super awesome to pay just $10 dollars for all of those great beauty products! It's totally fun getting surprises in the mail.
Lucky you, you are going to have fun playing with those colors.
Makeup heaven!!! I really need to try their subscription program.
I'm sure you'll get in soon. I think I waited about 2 weeks and got approved. I got a bag last month and should have blogged about it, but I was just too excited and had to use everything right away. I clearly lack any patience.
What a great variety of products for a terrific price! I love subscription services they are my weakness.
Would be nice if they are free though. hehehe Nice sparkly shades for the lips.
It's nice to always find deals like this.
Nice goodies and great beauty products. Haven't heard of this until now.
it is pretty amazing for just $10 monthly subscription you'll get all of this. more than what you paid for. good job. I am not a big fan of makeup so i'll passed this one for now.

Why Go to Seminary?
November 12, 2012 | Mark Rogers

How to Start a Pastoral Training Program in Your Church
A God-Sized Vision
Resources for Training Short-Term Mission Teams
"What Else Can We Do Besides Send Short-Term Mission Teams?"
Doing Short-Term Missions Right
All citations are from Timothy Dwight, A Sermon Preached at the Opening of the Theological Institution in Andover (Boston: Farrand, 1808).
Why go to seminary? Why not just take classes online, or learn what you can from your pastor? Why not just get busy doing the work of ministry and learn as you go? Why take the time, why spend the money, why uproot your life?
These are the same questions (minus the online thing) Timothy Dwight had in mind when he stood to address an assembled crowd at the opening ceremonies of Andover Seminary in Massachusetts. Andover, the first seminary in America, opened its doors in 1808. Until its founding, aspiring ministers desiring theological education usually learned what they could through an apprenticeship with a local pastor. However, Dwight, the president of Yale College and grandson of Jonathan Edwards, believed something more than a liberal arts education and a mentor were needed to prepare future pastors. So before the first seminary class was offered in America, Dwight sought to answer the question, Why go to seminary? His answers may be 204 years old, but they can still help us today.
1. Time to Study
Dwight explained that the new seminary would give future ministers sufficient, undistracted time to learn. Too often, he lamented, men began their ministries "very imperfectly fitted for their profession," because they didn't have enough money to "pursue their studies through a sufficient length of time." Andover sought to address this problem by providing instruction, use of books, and, "at least to a considerable extent," housing and living expenses.
The times of free seminary tuition, food, and housing are long gone. Many today go into ministry "very imperfectly fitted" because they don't think they can afford the years or money needed to obtain a seminary education. Of those who do attend, too many are burdened with excessive student loans. Seminaries that can keep tuition low and provide substantial scholarships and grants provide a great service to future pastors and their churches. This kind of investment should be a priority of every denomination and local church. By serving students in this way, churches will also bless themselves with pastors who have taken the time to prepare for ministry.
2. The Library
One of the greatest strengths of Andover Seminary, Dwight argued, was that it would have a library "sufficiently various, and extensive, for the purposes intended." Full-time students have lots of time to read—-more than they'll ever have in full-time ministry. Broad and deep reading is one of the main purposes of seminary. Professors are there to teach and mentor, but also to force you to read. As you read, you learn and grow, you learn how to read, and you learn what's worth reading.
You can't afford all the books, journals, articles, and dictionaries you're required to read. That's why strong seminaries and divinity schools have extensive and growing libraries. A good library gives you access to vast amounts of knowledge and distilled wisdom you cannot find online. If you're in seminary, take advantage of the library—-you'll miss it when you're gone.
3. The Faculty
Mastering any one of the "branches of theological learning" (Bible, apologetics, systematic theology, church history, practical theology) is enough to exhaust "the utmost talents of a single man." Therefore, Dwight observed, it's impossible for a single pastor to teach all these disciplines to those he mentors. If there were a pastor "ever so competent," his other pastoral duties would make it "impossible for him to command sufficient time to communicate the knowledge, which ought to be considered as indispensable."
The seminary, on the other hand, has professors who devote themselves to a level of study and teaching that isn't possible for a single pastor. Don't misunderstand Dwight (or me). There are things your pastor can teach you that no seminary professor can. That's why local churches must not outsource pastoral training to the seminaries. But there are also things that a good seminary can teach you that most pastors have neither the time nor ability to teach. In most cases, it takes both a good local church pastor and a good seminary faculty to train a good future pastor.
4. The Other Students
"All ministers ought to be friends." And in order to develop friendships, they have to know each other. However, Dwight explained, when "ministers are educated separately and solitarily, this knowledge, in ordinary cases, cannot exist." But at a seminary, "being educated together, being of the same age, pupils of the same instructors, tenants of the same buildings, engaged in the same delightful pursuits, and actuated, as we may reasonably hope, by the same spirit, they can hardly fail to be of one accord, and of one mind."
Good seminaries strengthen the unity between churches by building bonds between ministers. The friendships you build while you're in seminary will strengthen your ministry for years to come. The guy who sits next to you in 8 a.m. Hebrew class may someday lead his church to support your missionaries. The couple you meet at orientation may pray for you and your family for the rest of your life. The classmate you study with for a final may someday labor beside you for reformation in your denomination. So go to seminary, devote yourself to reading, and learn all you can from your professors. But don't fail to invest time in relationships while you're there.
5. The Doctrine
In making his case that such a thing as a seminary was needed, Dwight concluded by assuring his hearers, "The doctrines, which will be taught here, are the doctrines of the Reformation." He went on to explain how Andover's teaching would be biblical and orthodox and beneficial for building up the church. The seminary, Dwight assured his listeners, would exist for the benefit of the churches.
In 1808 there was only one seminary in America. Today there are dozens. But the fact remains that a seminary's most important task is to pass on sound doctrine to the next generation of pastors for the benefit of the churches. Choose a seminary that takes this responsibility seriously, and you will bless both yourself and your future church.

The majority of students must take out a loan in order to fund their higher education, according to a recent survey from Halifax.
A full 57 per cent of parents surveyed said that their children either or already have a student loan or are planning on taking one out.
And approximately two-thirds of parents said that they would help to pay their children's wages with their salaries.
Neil Chandler, head of Halifax Unsecured Personal Loans, said: "For most parents, taking your child to university for the first time is a proud but emotional moment.
"It is important to consider how best to support your child with the minimal amount of strain on your pocket as this commitment is likely to last for several years."
When a child goes off to university there are many costs that must be paid immediately such as accommodation and books.
Meanwhile, recent research from Abbey discovered that students take an average of £3,324 worth of possessions with them when they go to university.


You may have had trouble with maya viewports when using MentalRay shaders. They don't always display properly in your viewports... in particuclarly when using "combined texture" previews. I despise when I see a flat black shape, unable to generate a preview. Often renderLayers compound display problems, as shaders swtich from one type to another. Honestly I haven't yet figured out all the possible combinations of issues that break proper viewport display. Often I just need to place a hilite or some other utility light, and I just cannot get a proper preview of diffuse and specular.
So, I've taken to creating a "lightingPreview" renderLayer. This one I switch to, just to see overall light levels and specular positions/intensity. I usually give it a material override, unless individual colors are important. You can obviously apply any material/s you like to get the preview you like. RenderLayers can help you clear up your viewports and see what you need to, interactively. I've been finding this more and more useful as scenes get more complicated.
if your materials are pure mentalray (mia_architecture or fast_sss for example), cheat by connecting up a regular maya material to the same shading group, disconnect, reconnect. The viewport will now shade with the maya node. If you then click 'supress maya shaders' on the SG, mentalray will only see the mentalray material.
you can then wire up whatever textures your using to the maya material for extra viewport joy.
Emm Why not just go to the UVtexture editor and Then set the Texture to the uvs so it will then display the correct representation of ur assigned texture in the viewports. I hope this is what ur talking about Because I found that whenever I use an sss shader the model goes red so I found that if I do this it show's what the models texture is supposed to look like in the viewport.


We now have all watched sufficient Hollywood motion pictures to know what precisely hashish oil is or to make use of the extra common time period, marijuana. Individuals have had experiences which can be laborious to recollect at first after which tough to neglect. When Harold and Kumar go looking for marijuana, they had been not likely in search of its medicinal properties. However over the course of time, the medical properties have turn into a subject of scorching debate, amongst stoners and non-stoners alike.

Aside from the overall munchies (after smoking up), hashish oil is thought to induce starvation. That is important for individuals who want to achieve some weight particularly after some sickness or harm.
Though it is going to be presumptuous to minimalize the seriousness of despair and anxiousness, hashish oil does assist to loosen up the thoughts, cut back stress and convey a way of calm and peace to the physique.

For that tender, supple and glowing pores and skin, one may wish to change to utilizing this because it helps do away with useless pores and skin cells and promote the looks of a wholesome pores and skin.

Aya Nakamura, geboren als Aya  Coco Danioko (Bamako, 10 mei 1995), is een Franse zangeres van Malinese afkomst. Ze brak in 2018 internationaal door met het nummer Djadja.

Biografie
Nakamura is afkomstig uit een familie van traditionele verhalenvertellers (zogenoemde griots: zangers en dichters uit de orale traditie). Nadat zij, als oudste van vijf kinderen, met haar familie naar Frankrijk geëmigreerd was, woonde zij in Aulnay-sous-Bois. In Frankrijk heeft zij een modeopleiding gevolgd.

Toen zij later in de muziek ging, nam zij de artiestennaam Nakamura aan, naar de naam van het karakter Hiro Nakamura uit de NBC-televisieserie Heroes. Nakamura bracht haar muziek, waaronder de nummers Karma en J'ai mal, online uit, wat haar veel volgers opleverde. Dembo Camara, een oude vriend van haar, werd haar producer en manager. Haar nummer Brisé, geschreven door Christopher Ghenda, werd op YouTube 13 miljoen keer bekeken en haar duet Love d'un voyou met rapper Fababy werd een top 10-hit in Frankrijk.

Nakamura bracht in 2017 haar debuutalbum Journal intime uit, waarop een aantal gastartiesten zijn te horen. Haar bekendheid in Frankrijk groeide hiermee snel. Ze gaf tevens een drukbezocht concert in het Modibo-Keita-stadion in haar geboortestad Bamako, waar ze in het voorprogramma stond van de Nigeriaanse ster Davido.

In 2018 bracht Nakamura het nummer Djadja uit, waarmee ze internationaal doorbrak. Het behaalde in diverse landen de hitlijsten en werd niet alleen een nummer 1-hit in Frankrijk, maar ook in Nederland. In Vlaanderen werd het nummer bekroond met viermaal platina. De bijhorende videoclip werd bovendien ruim 690 miljoen keer bekeken via YouTube. In november 2018 verscheen het album Nakamura, dat met name in Frankrijk, Nederland en België een groot succes werd. De single Copines leverde haar een tweede Franse nummer 1-hit op.

In 2020 scoorde Nakamura opnieuw een grote hit met Jolie nana, dat werd uitgebracht als voorloper op haar derde album Aya.

These questions were made apparent in discussions of the NYC Mayor's Commission on Monuments, where Jack Tchen, Professor of Public History and the Humanities at Rutgers University, served as a panelist. In this episode, Tchen walks us through the ways the city's public history has been organized, the processes and findings of the Commission, and a vision to re-establish Lenape life, history, and culture into historical discourse of the region.
This episode features audio from the public program "Who Decides? The History and Future of Monument Creation in New York City," held on October 9, 2018, in the Segal Theatre at the CUNY Graduate Center. This program was the second event in the series "Difficult Histories/Public Spaces: The Challenge of Monuments in New York City and the Nation," sponsored by the American Social History Project/Center for Media and Learning, The Gotham Center for New York City History, and the CUNY Public History Collective. The series is supported by a grant from Humanities New York and the National Endowment for the Humanities.


Laura Appelman's sophisticated 2013 collection, titled "Flyover Abstracts," takes her work in a compelling new direction. Exploring the confluence of abstract art and polymer clay techniques, each subtly convex or hollow round or flat oval bead is, in effect, a tiny and elegant, veneered polymer painting. The subject matter recalls the experience of flying over stunning geometric fields of forests, farmlands, flowers and waterways.
Having come to polymer clay jewelry design as both a figurative and abstract painter, she finds this new work brings into play her love of abstract shapes, the power of both subtle and dramatic shading, combined with the dynamism of matte and pearlized colored clay.
Each bead's veneer is the result of a complicated artistic process that relies on refined techniques and myriad steps--clay conditioning, color-mixing, slicing and rolling, layering and baking. Laura creates the silky surface of each bead by hand-sanding each disk with up to 6 increasingly refined grades of sandpaper. She strings each neckpiece with selections of semi-precious stones, Swarovski crystal beads, fire-polished Czech beads and sterling silver beads and rondeles. Most clasps are created by the artist and all are sterling silver.
Laura is currently at work designing a similarly themed extension to this collection: earrings and bracelets.

Go behind the scenes to uncover Scotch: from Scotland to the world
We've launched a short film uncovering the heritage and making of Johnnie Walker, the world's favourite whisky. 'Scotch: from Scotland to the world' takes viewers to the places where Johnnie Walker is made and introduces them to the talented people who make it.
Feature 11 JUL 2018
For two centuries Johnnie Walker has been made by craftsmen and craftswomen, creating a distinct, centuries-old blend that is recognised as a benchmark in excellence. The brand was established by John Walker, a grocer, in 1820. By 1920 Johnnie Walker was in 120 countries - taking blended Scotch whisky from the four corners of Scotland to the four corners of the world. Today this quality and authenticity is maintained by a small team of 12 expert blenders whose skill, dedication and knowledge of whisky goes into every single blend of Johnnie Walker.
Dominic Redfearn, Global Brand and Communications Director, Diageo said: "We produce some of the best grain and malt whiskies from our 29 distilleries across the length and breadth of Scotland. Johnnie Walker is at the heart of our business and in producing this film, we want viewers to hear from the heroes of our business, as they reveal how they make the world's favourite whisky."
Two of the people featured in the film are Emma Walker, a member of Diageo's whisky specialist team, who ensures the consistent quality of Johnnie Walker and works on new innovative blends, and Alan McGee who works closely in the distillation process of Caol Ila, on the North Eastern coast of Islay.
Emma Walker, Whisky Blender, commented:
"There's nearly 200 years of heritage, history and the craft of blending that we are now responsible for. It comes from across the four corners, it's intrinsically linked with the people and the places where it's made and to see that all come together in the blend and then that to be shipped all round the world and enjoyed."
Alan McGee, Distiller, Coal Ila added:
"We take great pride in our place, in the whole history associated with Scotch whisky and more so with Johnnie Walker…It really goes to the whole core of who we are and what we're all about".
Whisky from our distilleries all over Scotland contribute to Johnnie Walker and earlier this year, we announced a £150 million investment to transform Scotch whisky visitor experiences. The centre-piece of the investment will be a new state-of-the-art Johnnie Walker immersive visitor experience based in Edinburgh. Four distilleries, Glenkinchie, Cardhu, Caol Ila and Clynelish, will be linked directly to the Johnnie Walker venue in Edinburgh, creating a unique Johnnie Walker tour of Scotland.

Winter storm brings rain and snow to San Diego County
San Diego County encourages flu shots amid concerns about COVID and RSV
County launches new combined Respiratory Virus Surveillance Report that will provide San Diegans with a detailed snapshot of common respiratory illness activity.
Author: CBS 8 Staff, County News Center
Published: 5:31 AM PDT October 21, 2022
Updated: 4:40 PM PDT October 21, 2022
SAN DIEGO COUNTY, Calif. — Flu season has arrived and County health officials are encouraging San Diegans to familiarize themselves with the signs and symptoms of influenza, as well as other respiratory illnesses, and to get a flu shot to protect themselves and their family members.
To date, more than 1,600 San Diegans have been diagnosed with a lab-confirmed case of influenza. The 1,664 cases reported to the County since July 1 of this year, are more than seven times higher than the 217 cases reported at the same time last year during the 2021-22 flu season. While the County monitors flu activity year-round, flu season is typically October to March or later each year.
Respiratory illnesses historically increase during fall and winter as many people move gatherings indoors, but flu activity typically does not peak until December or January.
This year, the County has already seen several large suspected respiratory outbreaks in October, including a cluster of illnesses at local schools. The high number of flu cases and other respiratory illnesses this early in the season is prompting health officials to urge San Diegans to take precautions.
"We have reason to believe that respiratory illnesses could be extremely disruptive in the region this year for businesses, hospitals, and people's lives. San Diegans must do their part to prevent the spread of these illnesses," said Wilma J. Wooten, M.D., M.P.H., County public health officer. "I want to remind San Diegans to use precautions we know are effective in protecting against illness, including the flu."
Wooten added that people should recommit themselves to the following precautions this fall and winter:
Wash hands thoroughly and often;
Use hand sanitizers, if unable to wash hands;
Stay away from sick people;
Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth;
Clean commonly touched surfaces; and
If you are sick, stay home and avoid contact with others.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that everyone 6 months and older get a flu shot every year. It takes about two weeks for immunity to develop after vaccination. The CDC also says you can get a flu and COVID-19 vaccination at the same time, including the new bivalent booster dose. The COVID-19 vaccine does not work against influenza and vice versa.
The influenza vaccine is available at doctors' offices and retail pharmacies and is covered by medical insurance. People with no health care coverage can get vaccinated at one of the County's six public health centers or a local community clinic. To find the nearest public health center location, visit the County's Flu Vaccine Locations page or call 2-1-1 San Diego.
Flu Symptoms
COVID-19 and influenza are both spread from person-to-person, especially indoors and in crowded places. Symptoms for both viruses include fever, headache, and muscle and joint pain, as well as a sore throat and coughing.
Since symptoms for both the flu and COVID are similar, but treatment varies, testing is the best tool to help sick individuals determine a plan of action.
"Get tested for COVID-19 and the flu when you develop respiratory symptoms and stay away from others if you are sick," Wooten said. "Protect yourself and your loved ones. Seek medical treatment if your symptoms worsen or if you have an underlying condition that puts you at an increased risk of severe outcomes from the flu or COVID."
High-risk individuals include:
People with chronic medical conditions like asthma, diabetes and lung disease, even if symptoms are under control;
Pregnant women;
People aged 65 years and older; and
People who live with or care for others who are at higher risk.
During the 2021-2022 flu season, 4,192 flu cases were reported and eight San Diegans died from influenza. During the 2020-2021 flu season, a total of 848 influenza cases were reported in San Diego, including two deaths.
County Launches Respiratory Virus Surveillance Report
The County of San Diego Health and Human Services Agency is introducing a new combined Respiratory Virus Surveillance Report that will provide San Diegans with a detailed snapshot of common respiratory illness activity in the region on a weekly basis.
The new report will be released each Thursday and contains, for now, both flu and COVID-19 activity, including cases, outbreak information and deaths. The report contains graphs and tables that allow the community to compare illness activity this year to activity during prior seasons.
The Respiratory Virus Surveillance Report replaces the separate Influenza Watch and COVID-19 Watch reports the County released previously.
"The new report paints a more comprehensive picture of respiratory illness activity in the region," said Wilma J. Wooten, M.D., M.P.H., County public health officer. "The report is a one-stop-shop for community members and healthcare providers, and we will continue to update it with new features in the future, as necessary."
San Diegans can sign up for the report here, or access it on the County of San Diego COVID-19 website and Influenza website.

Be prepared for the future of legal practice. This year we have hosted many events, social gatherings, talks and workshops. April featured Your Future in the Law conference and Ideas for Careers: Policy and Law Reform workshop. The fantastic attendance at these events demonstrates the commitment of new lawyers to carve their own path in a changing legal profession. We have also embarked on a series of initiatives to help secure a bright future for new lawyers. This year the YL Executive has committed to improving wellbeing for young lawyers, helping close the gender pay gap, and ensuring that young lawyers are prepared for the future of legal practice. Despite efforts throughout the profession in recent years, poor mental health remains concerning for everyone from law students to the judiciary. YL is working to help ensure young and new lawyers have the necessary skills and networks for the lifelong resilient practice of law. You will see more initiatives from us this year.


I was going to suggest Cascades on Saturday.
Bernd & Stuart will be there _early_ on Sunday (when I won't be riding) so could this still a goer? Failing that perhaps Morgan Road minus any climbs that will make my chain slip (still waiting for those parts... Grrrrrr!).
with Stuart and possible 2 other.
I'd like to organise a beginner / lurker ride - probably manly dam or Terry hills.
This stems from me thinking I would like to see some of the folks on this forum!
What do you think? Maybe organise at a more convenient time eg. 10:30 sunday morning this week or next?
Respond to this message in the forum with your preference for time / date / place - once I get enough interest I'll set it up.
Saturday 25th - any takers?
Hey I am up for a ride on Saturday.
Have an appointment in the morning so looking for riders for a lunchtime/early afternoon ride.
Several of the crew are heading off into the mountains for easter riding.
Have fun Dave and crew whom are off to Thredbo for a week over easter.
Michelle and I are having Justin and Liz, Paul Boxal and family down to our lodge in falls creek for a week in Easter moutain bike riding falls creek and Mount Beauty. Mount beuty is famous for its great cross country riding and is a regular host to the asutralian championships.
will send a report on this.
anyone up for Terry Hills this Sunday??
I like the look of the swift. Not sure about the sprung saddles, I've got suspension already.
Although the brooks saddle is not actually much heavier than an average plastic saddle.
Warning, don't try this at home, only for the slightly MTB mad.
Ok, here's my experiment. I've got crappy OEM grips on my Reign, my hands are killing me. SO I spent $10 on some handlebar wrap (used for road bikes) as they were out of ODI lockons and the other grips were really bad.
I've just wrapped the grips with this and it's pretty interesting, I'm not going to be going on the Tour as the official handlebar wrapper anytime soon, but it does feel comfortable and there is no movement under the hand.
So... bets on how long this will last?
I reckon there's at least another 10Km to add with Booralie/Bibbenluke/Sandy tracks in this area. Have updated http://nobmob.com/node/7 accordingly.
It's time for the classic - a loop (or two?) of Manly Dam on saturday morning.
08:30 start at the corner of King and Orana sts Manly Vale.
Contact me on the number below for any more info.
Alternate ride for those with limited time - please contact Stuart at the contact details below if you are keen!
Greg is completly correct i have already spoken to Justin to make changes.
The majority of the key riders feel exactly the same.
...VARIETY IS THE SPICE OF LIFE...!!!
Good on you Robin for encouraging a bit of variety to the 'single pack mentality'.
Alternative groups wanting to improve on their much needed technical skills etc etc rather than slogging it out on the same old hills should be commended not discouraged.
Smaller groups tend not to 'tailgate' and wait herded up when a less skillful rider flounders on an 'obstacle' en route!!.
- I think Stuart is planning something around Terry Hills very early on Sunday which I might join.
"A whole hour of footage from this years National Championships will be televised on SBS, Sunday the 19th of Feb, at 11am.
It'll also include a helmet cam run down the course with Junior Downhill World Champion Amiel Cavalier."
Has anybody ridden "Power Lines" at Morgan Road recently, ie last six months. The Sydney Trails Book I have says it has some steep and progressively bigger shutes the further into the trail you go, but this review is atleast three years old. I am trying to gauge what it is like before I commit to it and the associated long uphill back out of it.
How about a helmet cam?
This seems quiet interesting... anyone game to build one?
For sale - 2004 Cannondale Gemini 2000.
How to build a 1,024,000 mcd portable light.
You've just built a bike light which is brighter than most car headlights and weighs in under two pounds with batteries.
Not sure how viable it is though, esp. reading the comments below the main article, but might be worth a look anyhow.
Read this in case you are interested and definitely before you buy!
The track was quiet dry when we rode today, and parts had been sort of graded (some hills that were previously rocky were now mostly sandy).
The outcome of all this dry, and in places deep sand was that balance through the stuff made more of a difference to our pace than usual. Actually, it was very deep in some corners and great care was required so as to not repeat the experience of my last outing here (took a roll in the sandpit that was one corner for that very reason).
With the Highland Fling just around the corner thought I would post some information about nutrition. I am guessing most people will be looking at completing this event in 5-7hrs so you probably burn around serious energy during the day and if you don't get it right you may run out of juice before the finish line.
Now depending on the intensity of the exercise depends on the percentage of each system it is using to get the energy from. As intensity does up it swings in favour of anaerobic and as intensity decreases, it moves towards aerobic.
For those that are looking at competiting in some endurance events thought I would share some information about using Coca-Cola during races, especially when you start to bonk.
"Coca-cola: Many athletes use Coca-Cola as a sports drink, but does exercise really go better with Coke?
Top athletes seem to love Coke, not just as a dinner drink to wash down a cup of yoghurt, a cinnamon-raisin bagel, and a bowl of broccoli, but as a sports drink to provide a little fire during the last stages of a prolonged endurance competition.
As a suggestion for an away ride I can recommend the Yellowmundee Regional park just out of Penrith. It took me about 1hr15mins to drive out there from Lane Cove. It's basically a 10-12km circuit (I think) that takes about 45-60mins to cover. It has a variety of sections to it, bridge crossings, climbs, jumps, all on single track. My favourite part is a series of jumps where you can safely get some air (well no rocks to land on).
