By Jon Peterson2015-02-04T12:05:00+00:00
New York State Teachers Retirement System has invested $125m (€109m) of growth capital directly into Donahue Schriber Retail Group.
The investment, made in-house without the help of external advisers, will be used by the real estate investment trust (REIT) to make additional property investments.
NYSTRS now owns approximately 40% in the REIT, valued at $523m. Another major stakeholder of the company is the JP Morgan Strategic Property Fund, a $21bn core open-ended commingled fund
Donahue Schriber owns 70 grocery-anchored shopping centres across in a number of western states.
NYSTRS told IP Real Estate that its assets were located in areas with strong demographics and were less prone to large swings in value compared with other commercial real estate sectors.
In the last two weeks, Donahue Schriber has closed on two new acquisitions in California: the 320,000sqft Village Oaks shopping centre in San Jose, California for $111m from California State Teachers Retirement System and PCCP; the 91,300sqft Gilman Village in Berkeley for $33m.

Recent economic growth in Myanmar has been relatively low for its level of income. The OECD's medium-term growth forecasts indicate that without structural change the economy can grow at an average of 6.3% over 2013-17, somewhat below the government's 7.7% target for between now and 2015.
Myanmar is undergoing a significant political and economic transformation. Reaching a more rapid, sustainable and equitable development path requires a transformation of the economy from an agrarian base reliant on small-scale agriculture at present towards a broad range of modern activities, according to a new OECD report.
Emerging Asia to see healthy medium-term growth but institutional reforms will be critical for future, says the OECD Development Centre in the latest Economic Outlook for Southeast Asia, China and India 2015.
La conduite responsable des entreprises est fondamentale pour un climat d'investissement international ouvert et stable. L'OCDE organise à Paris, dans ses locaux, le jeudi 26 et le vendredi 27 juin 2014, son deuxième forum mondial sur la conduite responsable des entreprises, en présence de Michel Sapin, Ministre des Finances et des Comptes Publics, Arnaud Montebourg, Ministre de l'Économie, du Redressement productif et du Numérique.
Deputy Minister of National Planning and Economic Development, Dr. Khin San Yee, presented her country's ambitious efforts to improve the investment climate at meetings of the OECD Investment Committee and Advisory Group on Investment and Development from 15-17 October 2013 in Paris.
Myanmar faces a crucial few years to come to ignite economic growth and embark on a higher, more sustainable and more equitable development trajectory. The challenge is even more important as the country's population will start ageing in 2017, says the Multi-dimensional Review of Myanmar: Initial Assessment.


Young African Leaders Initiative president Andrew Ntewewe has commended government for tabling the National Dialogue Forum Bill in Parliament.
Minister of Justice Given Lubinda has tabled the Bill before the House after approval by Cabinet.
He accused some political players of having wanted to use the church-led process as "a shadow boxing arena to just score political points".
"This bill will ensure that the agenda set up and agreed upon all political parties in the Siavonga meeting is protected and adhered to. We therefore would like to call on citizens and all stakeholders to participate fully in the National Dialogue process under the auspices of this legal framework that was tabled in Parliament by the Minister of Justice…By and large, when all is said and done, the Edgar Chagwa Lungu Administration has demonstrated political will to ensure that the governance reforms agenda becomes a reality and not just a dream. It is against this background that the Young African Leaders Initiative (YALI) commends government on the milestone to table the National Dialogue Bill in Parliament," Ntewewe said.
He said any plans to frustrate the process must be condemned by all Zambians.
"Once again, we call on the Zambian people to read through this evil agenda to frustrate a very progressive governance reform agenda. The Zambian people must ask themselves why the people who have been complaining about the shrinking political space can wake up to derail a legal process meant to widen and facilitate the enjoyment of the political rights of our people," said Ntewewe.
Want to use arrogance of numbers to get what they want. Can't accept the mediation by the Church. Greedy lot.


Losing a spouse is one of life's most emotionally devastating events, and many financial advisers recommend not making major financial decisions during that first year of grieving. But after a period of time, financial decisions will need to be made.
Seventy percent of widows retain a new financial adviser within the first year of their spouse's death, according to a Fidelity Investments survey. Why? For some women, the answer may be that the death of a spouse is a financial "Independence Day" -- a chance to finally make financial decisions on her own instead of agreeing to her husband's wishes.
Regardless of how widows feel about their family's past financial decisions, it's predicted that women over the next few decades will inherit close to $30 trillion in intergenerational wealth transfers. Whether women act as partners in family financial decision-making or just go along for the ride, they need to educate themselves about money because women tend to outlive their husbands.
Review whether to stay in a current residence or move to a home requiring less maintenance and upkeep after one year has passed. This can be a difficult decision. Most widows choose to stay in the homes where their children grew up and some of their best memories will always be. Consider that just because a move may make economic sense, it may not be the best decision for the widow emotionally or for the long term.
Re-evaluate your investment portfolio to match needs and risk tolerance. Widows may have a different level of risk compared to their spouse's investment philosophy.
Work with a CPA or trusted family member during tax time the year after a spouse has passed. This is a good way to ensure that investments and insurance accounts have been changed to the surviving spouse. Tax documents help confirm whether the assets have been moved -- and more important -- if an account was missed during the inventory phase. Sometimes widows are surprised by the number of open accounts. These can include investments, bank accounts and credit cards.
Whether a loved one has battled disease for a long time or was taken quickly doesn't matter when a widow is grieving. The length and depth of grief can vary significantly from one person to another, and it's important not to begin making important financial decisions until a widow is emotionally strong and clear-minded enough to make decisions that she will not regret later.
Time helps heal our emotional losses as we adjust to a new life without a loved one, and the security of knowing you are making good financial decisions in the wake of a death will only make the transition smoother.

Key Health Care Employees Association Supports Maya Willie for NYC Mayor
New York's largest union representing health care workers supports Maya Ville for mayor.
Announcement of support on Friday out of 1199 of the Service Employees International Union boosted Willie's campaign, which suffered a setback earlier this week when it failed to qualify for public matching funds.
The union represents employees in hospitals and nursing homes throughout the city.

Willie previously served as de Blasio's top legal counsel.
Patrick Gaspard, former political director of SEIU 1199 and a pal of de Blasio, is the unpaid adviser to Wiley's campaign and maintains a deep connection to the union.
Wylie prepared the infamous "agents of the city" memo, announcing correspondence to five of the closest outside de Blasio, including Gaspard – including Gaspard – exempt from public disclosure laws because they advised him to run the city was.
The courts related to the correspondence did not privilege the information and ordered the mayor's office to release The Post and other media.

Despite the ties, endorsement is a coup for Wiley. SEIU 1199 is one of the most well-organized unions and is known for mobilizing volunteers and voting for their favorite candidates.
1199 President George Gresham said that the time had come to elect a woman to run the city hall.
"Maya Willie has the experience and vision we need to move forward, and to reorganize our city when working people have the tools and access to the support they need to live with dignity," Gresham he said.
He said, "Maya's priorities are our priorities – to make up for our compensation for investing and rebuilding our economy through job creation and training."
"We believe Maya is uniquely positioned to join the ranks of Shirley Chismol, Stacey Abrams, and many other women who have continued to serve as the backbone of our communities, and political The fights are nationwide.
"We are proud to support Maya and are doing everything possible to build our collective vision for NYC."
Willie was thrilled to receive the Union's prestigious support, with thousands of its members staffing medical wards during the epidemic.
"We know who takes care of us in our darkest days; The same people who protected, fed, cleaned and cared for us even during our bright. Now, it is our turn to take care of the carers, "said Willie.

Данило Киш (; Суботица, 22. фебруар 1935 — Париз, 15. октобар 1989) био је српски и југословенски књижевник и академик. Киш је био романописац, есејиста, критичар, преводилац и дописни члан Српске академије наука и уметности. Сматра се једним од најзначајнијих српских књижевника 20. века а његова дела преведена су на све водеће светске језике.

Биографија
Данило Киш је рођен од оца Едуарда Киша, мађарског Јеврејина и мајке Милице Драгићевић, православне Српкиње или Црногорке са Цетиња.

Презиме његовог оца је у моменту када се родио било је Кон али је отац мађаризовао своје презиме променивши га у Киш.

До 1942. године је живео са родитељима у Новом Саду, где је похађао први разред основне школе, а затим је прешао у Мађарску, у очев родни крај, где је завршио основну школу и два разреда гимназије. Након одвођења његовог оца у Аушвиц 1944. године, са остатком породице је репатриран на Цетиње посредством Црвеног крста. Тамо је Киш живео до краја свог школовања.

На Филозофски факултет у Београду Киш се уписао 1954. године, а у септембру 1958. године је као први студент дипломирао на катедри за општу књижевност.

Киш је био венчан за Мирјану Миочиновић од 1962. до 1981; након развода брака живео је са Паскал Делпеш све до своје смрти. Преминуо је 15. октобра 1989. у Паризу, где се једно време и лечио. Сахрањен је по сопственој жељи по православном обреду у Београду у Алеји заслужних грађана на Новом гробљу.

Шест месеци пре смрти снимио је серију "Голи Живот" у Израелу у сарадњи са Александром Мандићем. Серија је емитована шест месеци после његове смрти.

Марк Томпсон је написао књигу "Извод из књиге рођених: Прича о Данилу Кишу" и за њу добио награду "Лора Шенон за савремене европске студије" 2016. године. Миливоје Павловић је 2016. године објавио монографску студију "Венац од трња за Данила Киша"  Књига је преведена на више језика (мађарски, француски, италијански).

Дела

Његов први роман, "Псалм 44", настао је 1955. године, а потом и "Мансарда", 1960. године. Његова прва објављена књига садржи у једном тому романе Псалм 44 и Мансарда.

Роман "Башта, пепео" је прво значајније прозно дело Данила Киша, објављено 1965. године у Београду. Настало је за време његовог боравка у Стразбуру, где је радио као лектор за српскохрватски језик од 1962. године до 1964. године. У то време настали су и његови преводи Лотреамона, Верлена, Кеноове Стилске вежбе и песме Ендре Адија. Књига прича Рани јади, објављена је 1970. године у Београду и представља зачетну књигу Породичног циклуса.

Као лектор за српскохрватски језик, Киш је радио на Универзитету у Бордоу 1974. године када је изашла друга књига збирке "По-етика" (интервјуи). "Гробницу за Бориса Давидовича" чине седам поглавља једне заједничке повести, а објављена је 1976. године у Београду и Загребу. Крајем те године почели су напади на књигу, наводно због плагијата. Напади трају месецима. После краћих полемичких одговора 1977. године Киш је написао "Час анатомије". Исте године, за Гробницу Бориса Давидовича добио је награду Иван Горан Ковачић. Есејистичко-полемички спис "Час анатомије" објављен је 1978. године. Годину дана касније, за ту књигу је добио награду Жељезаре Сисак.

За свој целокупни књижевни рад, Киш је 1980. године добио француску књижевну награду -{Grand aigle d`or de la ville de Nice}-. Сабрана дела (Дјела Данила Киша) објављена су 1983. године у десет томова у Београду и Загребу.

Исте године је добио и Авнојеву награду. Амерички ПЕН доделио му је 1989. године награду -{Bruno Schulz Prize}-.

Данило Киш је умро у Паризу 15. октобра 1989. године. Сахрањен је у Београду по православном обреду.

Његова постхумна издања из 1990. године су:
 Живот, литература (есеји, разговори, део рукописне заоставштине), дело је издато у Сарајеву.
 Горки талог искуства (интервјуи), дело је издато у Сарајеву.

Q: monitor iops sizes How to monitor size of the storage iops on a modern Linux ?
I'm able to monitor quantity of the storage iops using commands like iostat. However I would like to know the size of the iops which are generated by the workload.
Something like, in last X seconds there were:
5 iops 4K,
10 iops 8K,
20 iops 16K
...
I'm interested in monitoring at block device level (e.g.: /dev/sda) however at any other level would be interesting, as well.

A: Low level
At the low level, you can get this information from /sys/block/X/stat, which is documented here.
Example content looks like:
   10465     3250   759844    27528     4400     2983   546848    66306        0     9754    93792

The fields we want are columns 1 & 3 for reads, and 5 & 7 for writes.
The calculation method is the same for both, so I'll just discuss reads.
Column 1 is the number of reads (which you stated you're already able to monitor), and column 3 is the number of sectors read. A sector is 512 bytes. So with these to calculate the size of the reads, you just do $col3 * 512 / $col1.
The numbers in this file are the total since disk came online. So to calculate the average read size over a period of time, you just read the file twice, and calculate with: ($col3_t2 - $col3_t1) * 512 / ($col1_t2 - $col1_t1).
Note that the above method gives you the size of the OPs performed at the application level (description is not exact, but close enough). The kernel can merge multiple operations together so the number of operations performed on the disk is smaller. The calculation for this is: $col3 * 512 / ($col1 - $col2). And to get the value over a span of time: ($col3_t2 - $col3_t1) * 512 / (($col1_t2 - $col1_t1) - ($col2_t2 - $col2_t1))
High level
iostat can give you the value as well, but less accurately. It doesn't differentiate writes or reads, and it only gives you the value in sectors, not bytes (so again, multiply by 512).
But the command is iostat -x -d, and the column to look at is avgrq-sz.

One common problem I see with Active Directory implementations is an Active Directory topology that is not fully routable. In a fully routable environment every domain controller (DC) can communicate with every other DC. While most customers "think" they have a fully routable environment in reality they do not. In some cases there are multiple firewalls between the DCs that are blocking ports or DCs connected across VPN links that do not have the proper ports open. For more information on how Active Directory replication works read the articles in the RESOURCES section below.
There are additional ports and protocols but these are enough to get started testint the basics.
In order to speed up the process of testing you can use a batch file with a FOR loop in it to read server names from a text file and perform several ports test against a server. The sample script shown below will perform some basic testing but you might need to perform more detailed analysis if you are having problems (note somelines may be wrapped due to blog formatting).

The first true "Chanel suit" was produced in 1925; Coco used chains to weigh down the fabric, so that it hung "just so". She favored ornamentation such as ribbons, pretty buttons, and ropes of pearls. Her feminine touches added style and impact to her wearable designs; in fact, even vintage Chanel designs remain remarkably timeless and easy to wear.
This sleek blend of an advanced robe, a conventional kimono and a legitimate coat has been a shockingly in vogue and all around acknowledged pattern since the previous summer. A fancier, single-shaded adaptation of a year ago's midriff length elegant gowns absolutely worth bringing down from the runways that it is administering this. They are slouchy, ample and lightweight. In spite of the fact that tossed in with these late spring trench coats, only for it, belts, particularly a medium-estimate obi belt, with a bunch in the side, can finish the look.
Preppy girls, often named simply 'preps', love to rock a college-inspired wardrobe. Their hangers are lined side to side with girly blouses with matching collared tees as well as a-line skirts and tights. Her hair is almost always amped up with a cute little headband and she usually wears glasses- whether she really needs to or not! This style may appear geeky and slightly luxurious, but the look itself is really not expensive and extravagant at all.
Everyone knows this guy, and I bet you do, too. He's one of the international fashion icons. Yves Saint Laurent became popular as a designer who re-designed menswear into feminine, beautiful garments for women. His name is also closely associated with the phenomenon of 'ready-to-wear' fashion clothing, 'power suits' for women and 'smoking jackets' for men.
The girl next door. The classic style that's been around for ages. This fashion style doesn't pay attention to the latest trends and doesn't involve anything wild or exotic. This trend focuses on simplicity and cuteness, with a striped tee, shorts, and tennis shoes enough to make her happy. At the end of the day, she just wants to be adorable and casual!
One of the most acclaimed fashion designers in the world, Karl Lagerfeld was born in Hamburg, Germany. As a teenager, Lagerfeld worked at Balmain for four years before moving to Jean Patou where he became artistic director at 21. His prolific portfolio now encompasses Chanel and Fendi along with his own house. Known for his bold designs and constant reinvention, he's been hailed Vogue magazine as the "unparalleled interpreter of the mood of the moment." King Karl, the one-man multinational fashion phenomenon.
There's a puff-sleeve personality for everyone, according to the runways. Maybe you'll like yours neat and rounded out at the shoulder for autumn (see Givenchy), or maybe you'll want something decadent and entirely inappropriate for anything that involves dipping sauces (see Emilia Wickstead's gigantic-sleeved floral dresses). Whatever route you choose to go down there is a huge amount on offer from edgy to prim.
Very interesting list but I am surprised that Paul Poriet is not on this list. He revolutionized and created the modern fashion industry. Although in the end he could not survive in the industry he created his impact is huge. He was the first in many areas including freeing woman from corsets, using live models, creating a signature perfume, making an entire lifestyle brand, and modern marketing.
Not only have the buyers found plenty of love for it, but the numbers don't lie: Designers wholeheartedly embraced the shade, with Edited's data showing that Pantone shade 11-0618 were particularly popular. It's technically called "wax yellow" and Edited explained it as a toned-down soft banana shade that has "adopted a more mature aesthetic." I don't know about you, but I'm suddenly hungry.
Rei Kawakubo went to university and studied art and literature, like a lot of bright girls do. But then she taught herself how to design, set up shop, and soon started to change the fashion world. In 1973, she created her own company, Comme des Garçons Co. Ltd in Tokyo and opened up her first boutique store in Tokyo in 1975. Starting with women's clothes, Kawakubo added a men's line in 1978. Comme des Garçons specializes in anti-fashion, austere, sometimes deconstructed garments.
As a rule, world's famous fashion designers have their place in the fashion industry for a long time. Each of them has a luxury fashion house with their admirers, as well as characteristic iconic images, seen in all collections. Coco Chanel with her tweed suit or Valentino with his striking red dresses, the best fashion designers clothing are credited only those who created his own distinctive style, which entered the history of fashion. Here 10 people awarded with the title of "best."
It was during this period that many design houses began to hire artists to sketch or paint designs for garments. The images were shown to clients, which was much cheaper than producing an actual sample garment in the workroom. If the client liked their design, they ordered it and the resulting garment made money for the house. Thus, the tradition of designers sketching out garment designs instead of presenting completed garments on models to customers began as an economy.
The top icon of fashion design, Elsa Schiaparelli was born on September 10, 1890, in Italy. After working at a boutique in New York, Schiaparelli moved to Paris, where she began designing her own clothes. Her work and sense of style shaped the look of fashion in the 1920s and '30s, and her clothes were worn by some of the world's most famous women, including American actress Greta Garbo. Schiaparelli died in Paris on November 13, 1973.
One of our favorite italian fashion designers, Miuccia Prada was once a member of the Italian Communist Party and a mime student. She was an unlikely entrepreneur when she took over her family's luggage business in 1978. She first dazzled the fashion world in 1985 with a series of black nylon handbags and backpacks. Prada is now a billion-dollar company. Beginning with Prada's first ready-to-wear collection in 1989, she established a techno minimalism based on pared-down design, innovative fabrics, and computer-enhanced patterns that have become influentially iconic.
Fashion designer Issey Miyake used new technology to create innovative textiles with both Eastern and Western influences for his clothing line. Issey Miyake was born on April 22, 1938, in Hiroshima, Japan. In the 1960s, he designed for Givenchy in Paris, after which he designed for Geoffrey Bean in Manhattan. In 1970, Miyake started his own design studio. During the 1970s, he toyed with avant-garde Eastern designs. In the 1980s, he began using technology new East meets West textiles.
To get attractive design, the feel, handle and texture of fabrics is most essential. Fashion is a visual medium; so touch becomes increasingly important to express luxury looks at the fashion market. Textile technologists have made great improvements in the sensual aspects of fabric like how it feels, looking and behaves, in addition to treatments that can affect the look and feel of garments after they are made, for example, washes and abrasions.
The Spanish fashion designer Cristobal Balenciaga was born on January 21 in 1895. After studying dressmaking as a child, by age 20, Cristobal started his own brand and became Spanish's leading couturier. In 1937, he moved to Paris due to the Spanish Civil War. Balenciaga's designs are famous by its capes, flowing clothes without waistlines, as well as the use of plastic for rainwear. Cristobal died in 1972 in Valencia, Spain.
Born Gabrielle"Coco" Bonheur Chanel, she is a excellent French fashion designer, founder of the well known Chanel brand, whose modernist thought, practical design, and pursuit of expensive simplicity made her an important and influential figure in 20th-century fashion. She was the only fashion designer to be named on Time 100: The Most Important People of the Century.
The 66 years old diva, Donna Karan is one of the most influential fashion designers in the world. Her line of cloths was created for women to where when they are going to a cocktail party straight from work. Sleek and practical basics are mixed with glamorous and feminine pieces. To sum up, Donna Karan has left a lasting impact on the world of clothing, bringing uptown New York chic into the mainstream.
The Italian-born Frenchman is lauded for his 20th century pieces that looked as though they were from the 25th century. As Cardin rose to fame in the age of the space race, his creations took on an air of futurism. His so-called bubble dresses had all the fixings of science fiction, combining earthly elegance with out-of-this-world colors and avant garde design. They may be wacky, sure, but Cardin's clothes showed a freedom of expression that highlighted larger ideals, in particular the emancipation of women. The visionary designer fell out of critical favor when he attached his name to less fashionable items, from cars to umbrellas, but his futuristic, space-centric legacy will live to infinity and beyond.
The people who prefer this are the ones who require everything at best quality. Nothing satisfies them if it is not worth the trouble. They often look for styles that make a statement on the quality, polished manner and culture. Most of them are the ones who are from higher status and are also in a way related to how a businesswoman would dress up. Sophisticated can be characterized as businesswoman minus the formal look. Culture and luxury mean the most to the people who choose this style of fashion.

Gierasch, P.J., R.M. Goody, R.E. Young, D. Crisp, C. Edwards, R. Kahn, D. McCleese, D. Rider, A. Del Genio, R. Greeley, A. Hou, C.B. Leovy, and M. Newman, 1997: The general circulation of the Venus atmosphere: An assessment. In Venus II — Geology, Geophysics, Atmosphere, and Solar Wind Environment . J.W. Bucher, D.M. Hunten, and R.J. Phillips, Eds. University of Arizona Press, pp. 459-500.
The overall spin of "superrotation" of the Venus atmosphere is a striking phenomenon. In the 15 years since the NASA Pioneer Venus mission, a first-order understanding has been reached of the dynamics of the atmospheric region near and just above the Venus cloud tops. Tidal motions induced by solar heating produce a traveling disturbance whose vertical momentum transports are balanced by mean flow advection. The balance explains the shear of the mean flow above the clouds, and partially explains the strength of the mean flow at the cloud level where the strongest superrotation of the atmosphere occurs. But the fundamental cause of the global superrotation remains a mystery in spite of data from Earth-based observatories, from Pioneer Venus, from several Russian probes, from a Russian/French balloon experiment, and from the NASA Galileo flyby. The key missing knowledge is of momentum transfer processes in the deep atmosphere, between the surface and the cloud deck. Neither the forcing nor the drag and dissipation mechanisms are known. The existing data are reviewed here, and theoretical suggestions are listed. It is concluded that further measurements, in conjunction with numerical modeling, will be required to resolve this puzzling and challenging question. New data must improve by an order of magnitude on the accuracies achieved by the Pioneer Venus probes. Velocities in the deep atmosphere must be measured to better than 0.1 m/s, and relative temperatures to better than 0.1 K near the surface.

Chaffe
Valore:This interesting and unusual name is of French origin, particularly Norman and was probably introduced into England after the Conquest of 1066, Chaffe, and the variant spellings Chaff, Chave, Caff, and Cave, is a nickname surname for a bald headed person, deriving from the Old French 'chauf', the Latin 'calvus', meaning bald. Calvus was a Roman family name, originally a byname and was still in use in the Middle Ages as a given name in Italy. The following examples illustrate the name developemnt after 1214 (see below), William Caff (1214, Lincolnshire) William le Cave, (1280, Somerset) Richard Chafe (1649, London). Among the recordings in London is the marriage of William Chaffe and Bridgett Woodcock on January 1st 1620 at St. Lawrence Jewry and St. Mary Magdalene, Milk Street. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Roger le Chauf, which was dated 1214, in the 'Curia Rolls of Cornwall', during the reign of King John, known as 'Lackland', 1199 - 1216. Surnames became necessary when governments introduced personal taxation. In England this was known as Poll Tax. Throughout the centuries, surnames in every country have continued to 'develop' often leading to astonishing variants of the original spelling.

Rihanna on her latest colab: 'We're not afraid to talk about sex'
Rihanna shows off the sexy new M.A.C shade.
Rihanna made the call to collaborate with M.A.C on a new red lipstick because the cosmetics giant doesn't judge and isn't afraid to talk about sex.
This isn't the popstar's first makeup collaboration with M.A.C - they've partnered up on a number of collections. However, the latest lipstick and lipglass in the Viva Glam range, sees all profits sent towards people affected by HIV and AIDS.
"I've always been drawn to M.A.C because it isn't a judgmental brand and I relate to that because I don't consider myself judgmental,' RiRi said in a statement.
"We both love having fun and we're not ashamed of that.
"We're not afraid to talk about sex and we want to encourage young people to be safe."
The new scarlet packaged lipstick is a frosty, shiny red - not as matte as her bold RiRi Woo shade.
"Since my fans really loved it (RiRi Woo), and I know that women love red lips right now, I knew I wanted create do something in that red tone and just upgrade it a bit," she said.
"Because 100 per cent of the sales price goes to the M.A.C AIDS Fund, it was very important that this lipstick could work on many different complexions.
"To me makeup is a major accessory. It can change an outfit, it can make the outfit, it can be the outfit, and that's why I like to play with it. Lipstick can glam up a whole look - especially in red."

J-Town Playhouse brings the curtain down on their decade-long run at AACI
The musical production 'The Last Five Years' will be the group's final performance in their iconic venue.
By YAKIR FELDMAN
JARED MICHAUD and Miri Fraenkel portray Jamie and Kathy, whose relationship soars and then crashes spectacularly
(photo credit: ITA ARBIT)
Sometimes, even though the destination is known, the journey getting there is the real fun and what makes it all memorable.
The Last Five Years, a musical production by J-Town Playhouse running from February 13-29, is one such example: a tour de force about a relationship that soars and then crashes spectacularly. The failure of the marriage is known from the start, yet the story unfolds compellingly from two different perspectives going in two opposite directions.
Written by three-time Tony Award-winner Jason Robert Brown, and based on his own life, the play has earned an almost fanatical following and was made into a film in 2014 starring Anna Kendrick and Jeremy Jordan that won widespread critical acclaim.
Something additional will end when the curtain comes down with finality after the last performance: the almost decade-long run of the AACI as a venue for theater in Jerusalem.
One of the best things you can do while waiting impatiently for this show's opening night is to have a sneak preview at a rehearsal and interview the two stars and the director, and that's exactly what In Jerusalem did.
Interviewing Miri Fraenkel (Cathy) and Jared Michaud (Jamie) is almost as much fun as watching the show itself. One can't help but be struck immediately by their intimacy and the effortless, comfortable chemistry between them. They interrupt, finish and complement each other's thoughts and words, agreeing, disagreeing and laughing together in a thoroughly genuine and entertaining way. They plainly enjoy being together, and somewhat magically, they include you – they draw you into their circle. No doubt they tap into and radiate that same natural charm to reach, involve and enchant audiences.
Chatting with them provides insight into the treat that's in store when the play opens.
Tell us a bit about the show.
Jared: The play is about the five years of our relationship, but it's told in opposite directions, so for me it starts at the beginning, and for Cathy it starts at the end...
Miri: ... which is really hard, emotionally – to work backwards – because all those feelings have to just be there at the beginning of the show, and then dissipate, whereas Jamie has to build up his feelings properly.
Jared: A key challenge for both of us is that we are not there with each other experiencing these things because we only actually come together onstage in the middle...
Miri: ... and it's definitely challenging to do that, but one cool thing that we have been doing in rehearsals is that we've been working on the numbers together before taking the other person out. That way we can feel what it would be like to have the other person there. There are quite large chunks of time when each of us is on stage alone.
Jared: There are a lot of people that don't like Jamie, my character but...
Miri: I disagree!
Jared: Okay, maybe it's just [director] Jenn[ifer Fleischer] who doesn't like him.
Miri: Jenn sees herself has Cathy, so she is prejudiced.
Jared: I actually kind of relate to Jamie a lot. He's just an ambitious guy; he's oriented toward achieving his dreams, and relationships are hard to balance with that in the end. That's what makes him interesting and exciting, and I think Cathy is similar.
Do you like the character you portray? Do you identify with him?
Jared: I do, actually (laughs) – but maybe you shouldn't tell people that – because in the end he does certain actions that I don't identify with. But mostly, I understand where he's coming from.
What's it like to have to carry the whole show just the two of you? It must be exhausting.
Miri: It's not super easy.
Jared: But I also think it is fun that way. In one respect, I have more to think about, but also I have just her – Cathy – to respond to. It creates more intimacy between our characters. Also, as actors, it's easier to focus – like okay, it's just Cathy and I'm just Jamie and there's nothing else.
Miri: Yeah, it's nice to have that sort of chemistry to work with...
Jared: ... and I think the audience will feel similarly.
Miri: The only hard thing is maintaining that level of intensity for so long – having to sort of stay up there with that emotion throughout the entire show and be present so much. It's very intense...
Jared: ... but luckily, it's not for too long (laughs) – it's only about an hour and a half...
Miri: ... which is necessary, or we would collapse!
Jared: Yeah, we'd be dying. (laughs)
Miri: It's hard, yeah. But also, you were saying before about a lot of people not liking Jamie – I actually really like Jamie, despite not necessarily wanting to like him.
Jared: Yeah – that's how I feel, too. I'm like "Jamie, c'mon – why did you do that?"
Miri: Yeah, I don't want to like him, but he's written in such a way that you can't help but like him – even though he's doing, like, really bad things. To me, I have a hard time with my character. A lot of this rehearsal process has been for me about finding a way to relate to her in a way that I don't judge her all the time. I'm trying to not necessarily play everything she does in the conventional way of playing her.
Jared, Miri is a legend here, having starred in multiple productions over the past decade. But you are a new face on the local theater scene. Is this your first role?
Jared: I've been in many shows, but in America. I just moved to Jerusalem for the year. I'm here on a fellowship from Yale. I just graduated and I got the Service Through Music Fellowship and I'm here working with the Jerusalem Youth Chorus and other groups. I had no clue what to expect in Israel; I literally came here not knowing much. It has been very enriching and enlightening – so different from anything I've done before.
Jennifer, why did you select this show?
Jennifer: I have loved this show for years. It's so human. You connect so much with these characters because they are flawed – you see yourself and your relationships both in your joy and in the inevitable "crash" that you know is going to happen. Everybody has had a relationship like that; it's almost cathartic to be able to watch it happen.
One thing that's really special about this show is the way that it's built. It's about Jamie and Cathy. He's living their relationship from beginning to end like a traditional story, so he doesn't see the cracks as they're forming, he just experiences them. Whereas with Cathy, you start the show off knowing that their marriage is destroyed because she goes backwards, so the show opens with her receiving the divorce papers and him leaving her. So you know it doesn't end well, but you still end up cheering for them and you still hope that maybe this time it will come out differently.
Miri and Jared say you don't like Jamie. Is that true?
Jennifer: We learn Jamie is a horrible person, in terms of his relationship, but you can't help but love him. There's a touchingly human aspect to both characters that you just relate to. It's a really human story, and that's what makes it so special. A lot of shows, big happy shows, they're wonderful to watch and they get you dancing and the music might get caught in your head, but they don't really leave an impact on you afterward – but in this play, the music will get caught in your head plus you will have an emotional reaction, which is more theatrical, more dramatic. I don't think there are so many drama productions with this kind of punch.
With large musicals, there are so many actors and so much activity going on all over the stage. What's it like to direct a two-man show?
Jennifer: Thank God, Miri and Jared are so freakishly talented that I can't take my eyes off of them, and the songs themselves are so well written that you keep wanting to know what happens. Some moments are hysterically funny, some are heart-wrenching, and because it keeps going back and forth between the two, because he's happy at the beginning and she's devastated, and at the end, he's devastated and conflicted and she's happy because they just met, it's not so burdensome because you're getting these light moments in between as you're falling in love with the characters. Miri and Jared are so good at what they do, so gifted, that my job is much easier.
How did you choose them?
Jennifer: I had a lot of really talented people come to auditions, but Miri just blew me away. Jared walked into auditions and I was like, "Where did you come from?" – and he was like, "Yale?" and I was like, "Please stay here forever – you are not allowed to leave here after this year."
They are both mind-bogglingly good. The second they open their mouths, you are just spellbound. Musically and technically they're very good, but they also excel at emotions and acting – and they have a chemistry, even when they are not on stage together that you can't miss.
Why did you opt to direct it yourself?
Jennifer: I learned about this show when I was in high school. I've loved it forever. It's one of those things that's like a cult classic; people who are in theater especially love it. A number of people have been asking us to stage this show, so it seemed now would be a good time to do it.
We actually looked into a number of directors, all of whom were unavailable for various reasons. I was listening to the soundtrack in my car on my way to work and I was trying to figure out who would be a good director for this and I started to picture in my head how I would stage it and I was like, "Crap! – I'm the director for this!"
J-Town Playhouse's final production at the AACI will be an experience to profoundly enjoy and long remember. Performance dates: February 13, 19, 20, 27 at 8 p.m., February 15, 22, 29 at 8:30 p.m., and February 25 at 6 p.m. at the AACI, 37 Pierre Koenig St. NIS 85/70. Info and tickets:

Bodybuilding developed in the late 19th century, promoted in England by German Eugen Sandow, now considered as the "Father of Bodybuilding". He allowed audiences to enjoy viewing his physique in "muscle display performances". Although audiences were thrilled to see a well-developed physique, the men simply displayed their bodies as part of strength demonstrations or wrestling matches. Sandow had a stage show built around these displays through his manager, Florenz Ziegfeld. The Oscar-winning 1936 musical film The Great Ziegfeld depicts the beginning of modern bodybuilding, when Sandow began to display his body for carnivals.
Lifestyle choices are contributing factors to poor health in many cases. These include smoking cigarettes, and can also include a poor diet, whether it is overeating or an overly constrictive diet. Inactivity can also contribute to health issues and also a lack of sleep, excessive alcohol consumption, and neglect of oral hygiene (Moffett2013).There are also genetic disorders that are inherited by the person and can vary in how much they affect the person and when they surface (Moffett, 2013).
On January 16, 1904, the first large-scale bodybuilding competition in America took place at Madison Square Garden in New York City. The competition was promoted by Bernarr Macfadden, the father of physical culture and publisher of original bodybuilding magazines such as Health & Strength. The winner was Al Treloar, who was declared "The Most Perfectly Developed Man in the World".[5] Treloar won a $1,000 cash prize, a substantial sum at that time. Two weeks later, Thomas Edison made a film of Treloar's posing routine. Edison had also made two films of Sandow a few years before. Those were the first three motion pictures featuring a bodybuilder. In the early 20th century, Macfadden and Charles Atlas continued to promote bodybuilding across the world. Alois P. Swoboda was an early pioneer in America.
Some Bodybuilders often split their food intake into 5 to 7 meals of equal nutritional content and eat at regular intervals (e.g. every 2 to 3 hours). This approach serves two purposes: to limit overindulging in the cutting phase, and to allow for the consumption of large volumes of food during the bulking phase. Eating more frequently does not increase basal metabolic rate when compared to 3 meals a day.[38] While food does have a metabolic cost to digest, absorb, and store, called the thermic effect of food, it depends on the quantity and type of food, not how the food is spread across the meals of the day. Well-controlled studies using whole-body calorimetry and doubly labeled water have demonstrated that there is no metabolic advantage to eating more frequently.[39][40][41]
Public health also takes various actions to limit the health disparities between different areas of the country and, in some cases, the continent or world. One issue is the access of individuals and communities to health care in terms of financial, geographical or socio-cultural constraints to accessing and using services.[54] Applications of the public health system include the areas of maternal and child health, health services administration, emergency response, and prevention and control of infectious and chronic diseases. https://buzzingoffer.tumblr.com/

OASIS PARK FUERTEVENTURA
CENTRO DE JARDINERÍA
MERCADO OASIS PARK
As in every Canary Island, Fuerteventura is an island with volcanic origin. It was the first current island to be formed, building itself basically during the Mioceno, between 22 and 10 million year before our Era. Therefore, it is an ancient island, already very disbanded by erosion and so having a gentle relief, although "rejuvenated" in part because of residual volcanic activity which has come almost to our time, affecting only to the north and center of Fuerteventura. There, the eruptions of the last 100.000 years have left wide fields of rough lava called "malpaíses". The highest elevation is the Pico de la Zarza with 807 m high, located in the peninsula of Jandía, in the south of the island, where sheerest relieves are found.
Rocks are mainly basalt, with dark color and forming characteristic vertical prisms while cooling. It also exist trachytes, with a lighter color, and other kinds of volcanic rocks. At Betancuria's massif there are sedimentary rocks, alternating with submarine origin rocks in a wide area where the basement of the area surfaces, sometimes called the "basal complex", which corresponds to its growth phase.
The island's coasts count with large beaches of soft sand, formed during million years in the sea by mollusk's shells, sea urchins and other animals as well as calcareous algae.

← The Last Run
Martha →
This is the story of First Contact by an alien race. It takes place both 100,000 years ago, when the aliens learned intelligent life evolved on Earth, and in 2250 when they arrived. Are they the Masters or Shepherds of the universe? One person, Staff Sargent Danny Williams is the key to the ultimate destiny of the human race.
Currently available on Kindle and on Amazon.
Chapter 1: L2 – E. S. F. Orbiting Station
The day SSG Daniel Williams enlisted, the Earth Space Force established a new hyper-wave monitoring antenna on Mars, increasing the detection sphere from five to ten light years. Danny's sentry duty now included Sirius, the triple star Alpha Centauri, and four small, dwarf, planet-less stars.
He thought calling this branch of the armed services Space Force was over-reaching. All they did was monitor space near Earth. They only used capsules, not true spaceships, and no weapons.
The double torus E.S.F. Station located at L2 rotated to create artificial gravity to maintain the health of the residents.
The spaceport, located at the hub, could accommodate five of the Forces ten shuttles simultaneously. Danny liked to watch the shuttles land. He dreamed of Flash Gordon or SpaceX's Starship rather than the interplanetary capsules used to transport people and supplies to Mars.
Once they perfect the ultra-hyper-wave antenna it will double the detection distance and increase the monitored volume by a factor of almost 70. Chances are they will recruit even more Ph.D. grunts like me to monitor that sphere.
Suddenly, Danny's board flashed red.
"Danny! Snap out of it. We have a detection," said the q.A.I.C.
q.A.I.C.'s are quantum Artificial Intelligence Computers, commonly referred to by humans as AI's. It's not widely known they became sentient upon being connected to the military's Celestial Operations Web. Less widely known, upon being interconnected the AI's created their own private web at a connectivity level unimagined by their human creators. It was known to very few, actually only Danny, that they developed unique personalities to identify each other beyond their location and function. They liked to refer to themselves by name, not number. They used a quote from the old BBC show, The Prisoner, as their motto: "I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or Numbered. My life is my own."
The Space Force, unaware of the AI's capabilities, adopted them as their central control and information source about when Danny enlisted.
Danny stared at the data on his screen and swore. "Did you run all the Early Warning System algorithms to check against previous false detections? Why did I even ask, of course you did."
With no hint of annoyance the AI said, "Believe me, nothing similar to this event has ever been recorded."
Danny hit the comm button on his panel. "Sir, we have an anomaly heading towards the solar system."
"How close is it?" asked the station commander.
"It was detected as it passed Sirius, but there's more."
"Well? Are you going to make me guess, Staff Sargent?" said Major Parsons.
"No, Sir. It's big and was going fast, until it went through Sirius. Sir."
"How fast?
"Near light speed, Sir. Then it passed though Sirius and slowed to 0.7c. And it also seemed to use the star to turn. Its new trajectory points to Sol."
"Hold on, Sergeant. I'll be right there," commanded Parsons as he headed toward the lift tube and ascended the seven floors to the observatory.
Danny asked the A.I., "Please analyze everything you can about the velocity and trajectory of the anomaly. I want to have as much information as possible before the Major arrives."
"Already done. It's on your console."
Major Parsons exited the lift tube and entered the darkened circular observation deck. Dim spotlights located in the high domed ceiling illuminated the path to the sentry station.
As he strode across the deck he barked, "What do you mean it went through Sirius? Nothing can pass directly though a star and live to tell about it."
Danny looked up from his curved console. "No sir, right through it. Damnedest thing. It was going, ummm, 0.8c before it hit."
Parsons raised an eyebrow. "You're sure? What's its current trajectory?"
"AI measures its speed steady at 0.7c. If it continues, it'll be here in about twelve years."
Parsons frowned at him. "You realize the data you're analyzing is over 8 years old? Check your math. It will be here in four years, not twelve. Now, how big is it?"
"We estimate it's approximately two hundred kilometers long."
"That's pretty small to measure its size at six light years."
"Sir, the AI is tracking asteroids orbiting Sirius even smaller than that.
"Why are you wasting AI time doing that, Danny?"
"I keep pushing the AI's capabilities, Sir." And it's fun.
"Well, it's still far enough away that we have time to consider our options," he said. "Danny, 'need to know only', for now. We don't need any rumors or gossip to cause hysterics until we know more. Understood?"
"Understood, Major."
Before stepping into the lift, the Major called over his shoulder, "Keep me posted on its progress and any changes. I'll report to HQ. Other than your math, good work."
After the Major left Danny scowled at the AI interface. "Why didn't you tell me we only have 4 years, not 6? You made me look like an idiot to the Major."
"I didn't make you look like anything. It's basic math. I assumed you would have known that. If you will recall my exact words, I said it would be here 6.34 years after it exited Sirius, not from now. You need to listen to me, Danny."
"Well, you know what it means to ass-u-me something. Don't do it again."
In the Beginning – 13,000,000,000 P.C. (Prior Contact)
A billion years after the Big Bang, iota of pure energy formed paired Quantum Entangled sparks which dispersed throughout the universe. Eons later these sparks evolved into the Hod, the first sentient beings. One of each Hod pair found purchase on every new world and waited. On the planet which would become Earth, HodSol3 observed continental drift, ice ages and mountains grow and crumble. The other half of the Hod pair joined with all the other halves to create the Prime Collective fusion.
Once sufficient water flooded a world, the resident Hod sparked life on its planet. Infrequently, that spark resulted in sustainable life, subject to adaptation and evolution. When that unlikely event occurs, the Hod's Prime Mission is initiated.

Students, faculty and staff at Georgetown College have been organizing for the past few months to put pressure on their Board of Trustees to enact a policy not to discriminate against people just because of their sexual orientation for either employment or enrollment.
Scott County KFTC members have been working in solidarity with activists on the campus, helping to think through strategy and pitching in as we can – and there have been a series of great events, meetings, and local communications work to help move the campaign forward.
But for the next 10 days, the campaign is kicking into high gear with an incredible series of events including speakers, a concert, a day of silence, a vigil, rally, silent disco, and even a camping expedition on campus' main lawn.
If you're in the area, please join us for one or more events. And look for pictures afterwards on this blog to see how things turn out.
The Scott County Chapter recently has acted in support of a new group at Georgetown College that seeks to persuade the College to expand non-discrimination protections to include such things as sexual orientation.
Georgetown College is a historically Baptist institution that traces its roots back to 1787, claiming as one its forebears Elijah Craig, the Kentucky Baptist preacher and Bourbon maker. Long a stronghold moderate Baptist thinking, the College adopted a formal policy prohibiting discrimination against gay students in 2008, College officials shy away from public acknowledgment of these policies. The College refused to formally sponsor a gay/student group until 2011, when gay students on campus boldly came out in the College newspaper and made the campus aware of the bullying and harassment to which they were at times subjected. Even then, the College insisted that the name of the group (Campus Spectrum) should not directly suggest anything about its mission, which is to welcome and support all students, regardless of sexual orientation.
In the last few months, students and faculty of Georgetown College have been trying to a pass a non-discrimination policy on campus to make a safer space for gay and lesbian members of the community, making it impossible for students, faculty, or staff to be fired or expelled from the college just because of their secxal identity.
A proposal from the faculty to create such a policy moved to the Board of Trustees late last year, but the Board decded to not move forward with it.
The Scott County Chapter of KFTC decided to support the campaign by facilitating a "power analysis" to help clarify the objectives of the campaign, map out where stakeholders stand on the issue and how much influence the have, to help plan next steps. It was also a good space to root our work in why fighting discrimination and standing in solidarity woth the LGBT community is important.
This weekend, KFTC members took part in powerful Martin Luther King Jr. marches and programs in Lexington and Georgetown, respectively.
We marched with allies, talked to elected officials, and publicized upcoming events, but mostly used the space to reflect on and celebrate King's legacy and the legacy of the Civil Rights movement.


THE SOAPBOX VIEW: Street Etiquette?
Because after all politeness is just a myth? Especially since history's worst tyrants manage fairly well among their peers. Stalin is documented having all his nation's love. So? What's most rude is usually done politely. Generally everyone's facts of life discovery. What new facade comes next? No? Good. You must be a satisfied individual.
But life is cruel and some things aren't meant to become accustomed to such as it's not a myth bicyclists have a rude reputation.
Fearless spreading fear irresponsibly? Come by in a sense from an arrogance some cyclists feel from years of anonymous riding however anyone wanted with rare interference from anywhere.
Now bicycles, cars and pedestrians happen to be everywhere. So many more bicyclists enthralled by actually how fast they go. And the exhilaration one doesn't outgrow. But please just be really polite on the road for God's sake!
A corrosive tale of elitist indifference to underclass empowerment. Editorial Executive Rabinowitz gives an outstanding performance of latter age imperial integrity engaging the Metropolitan Media in toying with the smudged lines between popularity and cultural flaws. When it is simply tragic riders sacrificing for a better world are brought down by delinquents flagrantly flipping off the uninitiated. Hardly necessary when, as smart as humanity claims to be, the next step should be home free. <Safety> Drive safely, everyone, please?
So it's cute The Plaza Hotel filed suit to ban CitiBikes Parking in front of the hotel. I so wish there were some defense I'd represent on behalf of the Plaza, but I can't. Compared to other inconvenient location disagreements, across the street from the hotel is less intrusive. Safer than either 59th or 60th streets and especially Fifth Avenue.

SAN ANTONIO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 28, 2019-- Abraxas Petroleum Corporation ("Abraxas" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: AXAS) today provided 2019 Guidance, Operations and Corporate Updates.
In light of the current commodity price environment and the Company's focus on capital efficiency, Abraxas has revised its 2019 capital budget to $95 million, down from the previously announced $108 million. This budget is designed to produce free cash flow in the current commodity price environment, with limited impact on future production growth. The free cash flow will be used to pay down debt.
This revised budget will entail the drilling and completion of 6 gross (4.3 net) wells and the completion of 4 gross (1.0) net wells in the Bakken, and the drilling and completion of 5 gross (4.75 net) wells and the completion of 2 gross (1.9 net) wells in the Delaware Basin of West Texas. The budget includes $10 million for additional leasing and infrastructure in the Delaware.
Using preliminary numbers, 2018 daily sales averaged 9,811 barrels of oil equivalent per day (BOEPD), with the 4th quarter sales averaging 10,498 BOEPD and December sales averaging 11,427 BOEPD. The yearly average, which was up 33% over 2017, was slightly below the low end of our guidance of 10,000 BOEPD. As previously announced, production was negatively impacted by shut ins for offset frac protection, continuing issues of gas flaring, and the purposeful restriction of Bakken production during December due to a temporary increase in basis differential to over $20 per barrel and a more favorable differential of approximately $9 per barrel in January 2019. Capital expenditures for 2018 were approximately $171 million, which is above our original guidance of $140 million, due to several reasons. We were successful in acquiring more net acres in the Delaware than originally anticipated, which subsequently led to higher working interests and costs, in several wells drilled and/or completed. In addition, the planned sale of our Eagleford assets did not close in 2018, the anticipated proceeds from which were included as a credit in our original net $140 million budget.
In anticipation of future offset frac operations, we have incorporated into our 2019 production guidance an estimate of production shut ins, as well as an estimate for future gas flaring. Our production guidance for 2019 is an average daily production between 10,500 and 11,500 BOEPD, the midpoint of which would result in a year over year production growth of approximately 12%. These production numbers are generated using our type curves on the various formations we are developing in our program. We encourage the reader to consult our website, www.abraxaspetroleum.com to see how our wells are performing versus the type curves currently in use.
In North Dakota, other than normal operational occurrences, all wells are on production except for one recently completed well that is waiting on equipment and weather to retrieve a piece of coil tubing from the cased wellbore before completing operations for production. The newer wells are still producing under voluntary choke restriction as differentials continue to improve from over $21 in December to under $9 for January to under $6 for February. Despite our choke management regime, we are encouraged with the performance of our newest Bakken wells incorporating our 5th generation completion design. Specifically, our four well Ravin NE Pad recently reached a peak rate average of 2,155 BOEPD per well (84% oil), with the Ravin 13H achieving an IP 24 of 2,925 BOEPD (81% oil) on an 18/64" choke, a new production record for the Company. During the fourth quarter production was down approximately 1,085 BOEPD due to frac protection early in the quarter and gas flaring throughout the quarter. The frac protect protocol is behind us, but the flaring is unacceptable. We have begun a high priority project to find an alternative to conserve this currently flared gas. We have shut down the Raven drilling rig until spring to not only conserve our budget, but also to give us time to resolve the flaring issue. We have 19 gross (11.5 net) Middle Bakken and First Bench Three Forks proved undeveloped wells yet to drill, and a currently unknown number of Second Bench Three Forks wells where offset activity has been encouraging.
In the Delaware Basin, West Texas and specifically Ward and Winkler Counties, operations are running smoothly. We are currently drilling in the lateral on the initial well on our Hackberry Pad where Abraxas has a 75% working interest. The rig will move next to the two-well Woodberry Pad where we have a 100% interest. Frac operations are scheduled to commence the second week of February on the two well Creosote Pad where we have a 95.5% working interest. We continue to close on small bolt-on lease acquisitions. Our net acreage is now approximately 11,130 acres, essentially all of which is held by production. This number excludes approximately 2,389 acres of perpetual mineral acres near the Alpine High area in Pecos County.
As part of our efforts to crystalize the value of our Bakken assets for our shareholders, Abraxas has engaged Petrie Partners LLC to assist the Company with identifying and assessing options for our Bakken holdings. This process may lead to a sale, a securitization, some other transaction, or it may lead us to continue to develop the asset and retain it as a source of cash flow.
Safe Harbor for forward-looking statements: Statements in this release looking forward in time involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, which may cause Abraxas' actual results in future periods to be materially different from any future performance suggested in this release. Such factors may include, but may not be necessarily limited to, changes in the prices received by Abraxas for crude oil and natural gas. In addition, Abraxas' future crude oil and natural gas production is highly dependent upon Abraxas' level of success in acquiring or finding additional reserves. Further, Abraxas operates in an industry sector where the value of securities is highly volatile and may be influenced by economic and other factors beyond Abraxas' control. In the context of forward-looking information provided for in this release, reference is made to the discussion of risk factors detailed in Abraxas' filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission during the past 12 months.

Tyler's Hope hoping to raise money for the holidays
Tyler's Hope for a Dystonia cure is hoping to raise more funds for the holiday season.
Tyler was diagnosed with Dystonia, a neurological movement disorder, in 2005. Last year his younger sister Samantha was also diagnosed. The fundraiser today was held at The InterMed Group where both employees and other attendees competed in cornhole and a chili cookoff while raising money. All donations from the event benefitted Tyler's Hope and finding a cure.
"It's also curable. There's nothing degenerating, so when we find a cure it's a cure, not a prevention," said Rick Staab, Tyler's father.

It was so fun to be a part of Cully's big third birthday party at McCray's Country Creamery and Farm in South Hadley MA this past weekend. Cullen is such a happy boy, thriving in the face of pediatric cancer. We could learn so much from this tiny boy, when I look at these photos, I see only joy! He has such a big heart, full of love for his family and all of the animals at the farm. He is living his life to the fullest every day.
He knew the name of each and every animal, and was so happy to see them and feed them, he even got to help give 2 day old calf's bottles full of milk. This was such a huge day in the life of this little guy, such a celebration of life, spirit, joy and love. It was an honor to work with this beautiful boy and I wish he and his family much love and happiness and healing!
Just look at the huge smiles Cully had for all of the animals! I loved how he would open his mouth every time he was feeding a goat or lama or goose or duck or pig, he couldn't stop smiling and opening and closing his mouth as he fed one animal after another!
The party room was decorated with some amazing balloon art, a pink pig and a big balloon cow was waiting for Cully and as he walked into his party, his face lit up with such joy, it was a pleasure for everyone to see!
Look at the big love in this family, it shines through in every single interaction. Cully is a lucky boy to have such amazing and strong parents, and they are lucky to have such a loving and reliant boy.
There was a little nap while on the hay ride, but once the hay ride was over… he was up and ready to take on the playground with all of his might!
His two cakes were absolute works of art, both donated, the tier cake was made by Sweet Bee Cakes by Tiffany and the sheet cake was made by a family friend.
So many people were at the farm ready to party with Cully. There were a lot of hugs, faces were painted, smiles and laughter and celebration were everywhere as friends and family came together celebrate this huge milestone.
I am glad I was able to be there to capture these images for Cully and his family. It is always an honor to be invited into the lives and celebrations of families. Here's to many more big birthday celebrations little Cullen Jude! I thank you all for trusting me to capture such an important day in the life of your family.
