Man City take fight to UEFA on and off the field
Manchester City may be set to go to war with UEFA, but time is of the essence for the English champions to satisfy their quest to win the Champions League.
City head to the Santiago Bernabeu on Wednesday, knowing failure to beat 13-time winners Real Madrid over two legs could be their final European adventure for two years.
UEFA slapped a stunning two-season ban on City earlier this month for overstating sponsorship income between 2012 and 2016 to breach Financial Fair Play rules and failing to cooperate once an investigation was re-opened following the leak of internal emails to German magazine Der Spiegel.
City remain belligerent and insist they will beat UEFA off the field. An appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport will decide their fate for the next two years.
In the meantime, Pep Guardiola's men have to finally get it right on the field to satisfy City's long-wait to conquer Europe.
Now in their ninth season of Champions League football since Sheikh Mansour's takeover transformed the club's fortunes, City are still waiting for a landmark knockout win in the competition.
Even before the latest body blow of a European ban, the City support have not been enamoured by their new status as Champions League regulars.
The club have had to turn to social media influencers to try and sell tickets for group matches and the competition's anthem is routinely jeered.
"UEFA Cartel" and "UEFA Mafia" were among the banners that greeted their first home outing since the ban was handed down against West Ham last week.
A run to the semi-finals before being beaten by Madrid in 2015/16 is their best ever showing in the competition.
Despite re-writing the history books domestically, Guardiola's star-studded squad have fallen at the quarter-finals to English opposition in each of the past two seasons.
The contrast with Madrid could not be starker. For generations, Real have risen to the occasion on the Champions League stage, while City have crumbled under the pressure.
A former Barcelona coach and player, Guardiola hailed his old foes the "kings of Europe."
And in an interview with Spanish newspaper AS last week, City's Raheem Sterling insisted: "There is no better challenge than Real Madrid."
Guardiola's legacy on the line
However, a meeting with Madrid also offers City an opportunity to change the narrative.
The sort of ferocious atmosphere Guardiola has long pleaded for at the Etihad for Champions League games seems guaranteed when the Spanish giants travel to Manchester on March 17th.
With Liverpool streaking clear at the top of the Premier League, City's season and arguably Guardiola's legacy at the club comes down to what happens in this tie.
"If we don't win it everybody is going to say we are failures like the last five years," said midfielder Kevin De Bruyne. "It's something we've not won yet."
The only two Champions League winners in City's squad are back-up goalkeepers Claudio Bravo and Scott Carson.
Motivation could not be greater for a host of world class players like De Bruyne, David Silva and Sergio Aguero to cap their careers with Champions League success.
Moreover, doing so this season would have the added benefit of sticking it to UEFA by capturing their flagship competition.
"I can't believe they're in the competition now. What would happen if City win this season?" Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher told Sky Sports.
"UEFA will be desperate for Man City to be beaten by Madrid."
All the more reason for City to not give European football's governing body the satisfaction.

USA is ready to fund the restoration of Donbas infrastructure – conversation between Poroshenko and Biden
President of Ukraine held a phone conversation with Vice President of the United States Joseph Biden in the course of which the parties discussed the international efforts for the implementation of the peace plan in the Donbas and the restoration of the infrastructure on the territories liberated from terrorists by the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
According to the President, today, the Ukrainian army pays significant attention to the restoration of decent living conditions in the liberated cities, particularly to the restoration of water and energy supply, TV and radio broadcasting destroyed or damaged by militants. The Head of State stressed that the restoration of peaceful life in the Donbas was a priority for Ukraine given the horrors the residents of the East had to live through in the course of the terrorist attacks.
In response, Joseph Biden expressed his admiration for self-control and actions of Ukraine and assured of further support on behalf of the USA. In particular, Biden says that the United States is ready to consider the possibility of funding the projects on the restoration of the infrastructure in the Donbas following the example of the German initiative for residents of Sloviansk and Kramatorsk.
Also, Joseph Biden informs that the U.S. is ready to make efforts to broaden the support of international financial institutions for Ukraine.

Women's Experience in the Red Cross during WWII – Just scratching the surface for the Reenactor
About Laughing Moon Mercantile Pattern #139, WWII Red Cross Uniform and Civilian Skirted Suit
I am a patternmaker who has made 19th C sewing patterns. Before I publish patterns I include what I have learned about the garment, usually in a section called "History Notes". Sometimes it's like documenting an Easter Egg Hunt. I record little nuggets of information I have dug up in the innards of a huge book written by a smart textile historian or show a photograph of a raggedy piece of clothing rescued from eBay. This time I found so much information about the WWII era woman's Red Cross uniform it was more like the well-known phrase "taking a drink from a fire hose." Information about WWII and the American Red Cross abounds. WWII ended in August of 1945 with the surrender of Japan.At the time of this writing that was only 72 years ago. There are eye witnesses still with us. There are countless photos and films. And fortunately, there are many written accounts. And for the costumer, there are lots of surviving primary sources and actual clothing.So, I am only writing this so that I might make some of this information easier to find. I cannot hope to list all of it.

The best book I read while researching WWII and women was "Our Mother's War: American Women at Home and at the Front in WWII" by Emily Yellin written in 2004. No matter what impression you might want to do for a WWII reenactment, this book will give you information about it. It will also help orient you to the wider view of different roles American women played in the period. It is so good and complete I think it should be required reading.You can purchase a hard copy or you can read it online here:

You might ask, "Why do an impression of a Red Cross Girl?" I think most people immediately think of Army Nurse as the most logical person for a woman to portray in WWII. Nurses were certainly some of the most important people and lived through what might be the worst experiences. Their bravery was exemplary and some suffered greatly. But they weren't the only women that joined up to help in the war effort and nurse wasn't the only job available for those who wanted to contribute. Some of the books I have read certainly opened my eyes to that fact. One bit of information I learned from my reading was very surprising to me. At the end of the 1930s, when many of the people affected by WWII were growing up, America was very unsophisticated to our minds.Contrary to what I believed, though a nurse was considered a woman's job, being a nurse was not always considered an appropriate job for a "well-brought up girl". Stating it plainly, since nurses in their natural course of work would see naked men, and understand physiology, human sexuality, and venereal diseases, many parents found the job description unacceptable for their daughters.In fact, many nurses pursued their vocation over the loud objections and to the shame of some of their parents.Add that to the prevailing resistance to women joining the military and physically moving away from their home, nurses and Red Cross girls had a lot to stand up to. But stand up they did. By the end of the war over 35,000 Army and Navy nurses and 7,000 Red Cross girls were serving overseas. But not everyone was able to become a nurse or leave their homes. Fortunately for the patriotic woman, alternatives abounded.Many of these choices are listed in the excellent books, Dressed for Duty volumes one and two. There are many groups and corps listed that would make equally interesting material for women's WWII impressions. The Red Cross Girls that were hired to serve with the military overseas were a little different from those Red Cross volunteers who had to stay in the USA, though the uniform was the same. Incidentally, I am fully aware that these were women and not "girls", but in the vernacular of the day, that is what they were called. In any case the Red Cross had a stringent interview process for those women they were going to hire. They only wanted women who were at least 25 years of age and who had a college degree.They were not looking for teenagers, but well-rounded intelligent women with an education. They wanted women that could be trusted to take on a great deal of responsibility with a minimum of supervision, sometime in very far-away places during wartime with all its uncertainties, dangers, and difficulties.They were looking for women who would work hard and wanted to serve their country in the best way they could.So right from the start the Red Cross Girls gained an excellent reputation and were top flight. This countered some of the resistance the women faced from their families about serving. Once hired, the women went to Washington D.C. for weeks of training. The mission the Red Cross set for these women was to "bring a little touch of home to the boys away from home." (Ruth Register) After shipping out and arriving overseas they were assigned either to a Rest Home for the injured or Hospital, USO Clubs in the cities, a Clubmobile, or an Aero Club at aircraft bases and stations. They were stationed in the European, Mediterranean/African, and Pacific Theaters.
Ready to Serve As for Red Cross services provided at the home front, the involvement was huge. This website gives some of the story and statistics. The Red Cross was the largest organization that provided stateside services. The uniform in the pattern was also worn domestically as well as overseas. http://www.encyclopedia.com/history/news-and-education-magazines/home-front-organizations-and-services Here are some statistics from this website: During World War II (1939–45), the Red Cross was the largest civilian organization providing vital services to military personnel and their families. By 1945, the last year of the war, the Red Cross had 36.7 million adult members, 19.9 million Junior Red Cross members, 7.5 million volunteers, and 24,378 paid staff. Almost every household in the United States participated in some way in Red Cross activities. Between 1941 and 1946, when the average yearly U.S. family income was roughly $3,000, Americans contributed about $785 million to the Red Cross war fund.
Volunteering at the Canteen Red Cross volunteers meeting troop trains in the USA. Women of all ages volunteered in the Red Cross at home.

Activities for an Impression: Delivering the mail to soldiers – If the Red Cross was going out in the field they sometimes would also take the mail to deliver to the soldiers. Playing games, playing records, dancing, singing, putting on skits. This included going to dances in the evening wearing their uniform – as many as they could go to, including the USO clubs, and dances put on by the military bases and the local inhabitants where they were stationed. Dating the servicemen was allowed but many girls were wary of getting too involved. Talking to the servicemen, asking where they are from, about their loved ones back home, telling jokes, and being cheerful. 1940's slang words and definitions can be found listed on the Internet. Some of the women who wrote books mentioned how important subtle makeup, nail polish, and perfume were even though they were always in uniform and were not supposed to wear jewelry. The GIs would admire and mention it. Handing out small supplies and snacks: Donuts and coffee, snacks and juice, candy, chewing gum, cigarettes, playing cards, writing paper, stamps, and envelopes, postcards, sewing kits, books, magazines.Donuts were such a common snack for the Red Cross the Red Cross girls were sometimes called "Donut Dollies".

The link above takes you to this book so you can read it online. It is also available hard copy through the usual online sources.This book was written before WWII was over and could be regarded as a recruitment for the Red Cross.Nevertheless, it has great information about the direct involvement of the Red Cross giving war information including specific dates, places, names, and direct quotes from all the theaters of war. The following books provide excellent information about the lives of Red Cross Girls overseas through their letters home. Though sanitized by wartime censorship and burdened by the everyday minutia of letters ("Please send me some panties and more stuffed olives.") the writing is informing about these women's daily lives.

This book is a compilation of the letters of Elizabeth Richardson of her time in the Red Cross. The editor and writer of additional information is James H. Madison.

Ms. Petesch worked as a feature writer at the Chicago Tribune before the Second World War, and her expertise shows in this book. It was decided before she left that she would write one letter periodically that would be shared with all her family and then saved for her when she returned. She thereby kept all her family up to date and created a journal of all her experiences for the future. This book has excellent information about Clubmobiles. How to Play During a War: A Free Spirit's Life in Letters, by Evelyn Merritt, 2007, through her letters home. This book was edited by the author's son, Lynne Whelden. This book has interesting information about the Pacific Theater, the women assigned to hospitals, and the challenges they faced. This title is misleading, I think. The woman who wrote the letters in this book was very independent, but also very religious, traditional, and took her work seriously. Destination Unknown, LeOna Cox and Kathleen Cox, 2009.Excellent information about setting up a Red Cross club in North Africa and then moving on to Rome.

Menu developers get creative with proteins to control food costs and hook new diners
Nancy Kruse 1 | Feb 16, 2009
No wonder it's called the center of the plate. Protein is, after all, smack dab in the middle of most main dishes. But it's also a center of culinary attention as chefs strive to create memorable signature items. Protein is a major cost center as well, and this dogged economic downturn has generated some innovative approaches from corporate menu developers looking to lure customers while controlling the costs and maintaining the margins of their entrées.
They're exercising restraint. The ability to manage the amount of protein in a dish while still providing value and satisfaction can be a tricky proposition, but a number of corporate chefs have risen to the challenge with stick-to-your-ribs offerings in which meat plays a more subordinate role. In Marie Callender's seasonal Shepherd's Pie, seared pieces of beef mix with carrots, peas, mushrooms and zucchini in a mushroom-Burgundy sauce that's covered with creamy mashed potatoes.
Country Kitchen's Steak Stroganoff layers grilled sirloin over penne pasta along with sautéed mushrooms and onions in a sour cream stroganoff sauce. That dish is a reminder that, when the going gets tough, many chefs turn to pasta, a win-win ingredient that can minimize cost and maximize creativity.
Olive Garden provides specials in which the protein is carefully portioned, as with the current pasta promotion in which the focal point is Four Cheese Stuffed Mezzaluna that can be topped with either shrimp or sausage.
Another approach to protein portion control is the time-honored mixed grill and its variants, in which two or more meats can be offered in smaller bites. The new Mixed Grill Spiedini at Bertucci's marries grilled top sirloin with tender chicken, while Outback offers a combination of king crab legs and sirloin. Black Angus's Mixed Grill with Three Mouth-Watering Flavors features Guinness sauce, espresso sauce and white-wine-and-garlic sauce to accompany sirloin, pork and shrimp.
Lesser cuts of meat are also an option to combat corporate and customer cost concerns. Carrows recently launched two new entrées, Hearty Pot Roast and Carne Asada, which typically don't utilize choice beef. O'Charley's is promoting a new Grilled Meatloaf Dinner, and Maggiano's Braised Beef Cannelloni relies on beef that's been slow cooked to make the most of its flavor.
They're going over the top. One of the most audacious menu tactics in recent memory is the use of protein as a condiment, a concept ascribed to the menu and marketing gurus at Carl's Jr. The West Coast burgermeister and its East Coast corporate sibling Hardee's have had success with a series of premium burgers that sport a topping of an up-market and/or specialty protein. The Prime Rib Thickburger, a one-third-pound burger crowned with thinly sliced prime rib, is a good example. A limited-time offer, it joined a line of meat-centric specials including Pastrami and Philly Cheesesteak versions.
Putting protein over the top is not just a quick-service phenomenon; it's a strategy that's being employed all up and down the chain channel. Coco's Restaurant & Bakery, a midscale operation, has offered Salmon Oscar, a salmon fillet topped with shrimp. Similarly, the winter specials at casual-dining Outback Steakhouse include crab over tilapia. And the latest winner in T.G.I. Friday's ongoing Ultimate Recipe Showdown, a promotion that invites consumers to submit recipes, is the Triple Stacked Burger, in which the top stack is a slice of ham. Speaking of things porcine, prosciutto has become the protein condiment of choice in the Italian segment. In an unexpected variation on a classic, Carrabba's Italian Grill finishes Steak Marsala with prosciutto. It's wrapped around sea bass in Il Fornaio's Branzino in Camicia, and it's added to the chicken and shrimp in the Penne Rustica at Romano's Macaroni Grill.
Looking ahead, we may see patrons shift consumption to get their fill of meat and protein early in the day when menu prices are lower. Case in point: Denny's Prime Rib Sizzling Breakfast Skillet at $7.99 is a less expensive but still indulgent alternative to its $10.99 dinner counterpart.

The Dangers of Vaping: How It Can Harm Babies and Children
Dr. Mea Ramos
Vaping has become a popular alternative to smoking in recent years, with many people turning to e-cigarettes as a way to kick their smoking habit. While vaping might possibly be a safer option than cigarettes for adults, it can be extremely dangerous for babies and children.
E-cigarettes have various components which can be harmful to children
The vapor produced by e-cigarettes contains a number of toxic chemicals that can be harmful when inhaled. These chemicals, which include such as formaldehyde and benzene, can cause serious respiratory problems and may even increase the risk of cancer. In addition, the nicotine in e-cigarette vapor is highly toxic and can be especially harmful to young children, who are still developing and are more susceptible to the effects of toxins.
The liquid used in e-cigarettes, which is often flavored to make the vapor more appealing, can be especially dangerous for young children. Many of these liquids contain sweet flavors that can be tempting to kids, but ingesting even a small amount can lead to serious health problems. The liquid can be toxic if swallowed, and inhaling it can cause respiratory problems and other serious health issues.
But the dangers of vaping don't just end there. E-cigarettes and their accompanying devices, such as charging cables and batteries, can also pose a serious risk of injury to children. The small size and sleek design of e-cigarettes make them easy to swallow or choke on, while the batteries and charging cables can be a hazard if they are not properly stored or handled.
It's important to note that the dangers of vaping aren't just limited to children. Pregnant women who vape are also putting their unborn babies at risk. The chemicals produced by e-cigarettes can harm the developing baby. The nicotine can reduce blood flow to the placenta, which can lead to a variety of serious issues in the development of the baby.
In conclusion, it's clear that vaping can be extremely dangerous for babies and children. While it may be a safer option for adults who are looking to quit smoking, it's important to keep e-cigarettes and their accompanying devices out of reach of young children. Pregnant women should also avoid vaping to protect the health of their unborn babies. If you or someone you know is struggling with a smoking addiction, there are safer and more effective ways to quit, such as nicotine replacement therapy or prescription medications.

Kopin's Golden-i Infinity Wearable Gains Momentum; Approximately 100 Organizations Have Already Signed up to Pilot the Unique Smart Glass Platform
Golden-i Infinity AR Evaluation Program Assists Enterprise Customers in Realizing the Vast and Immediate Productivity Benefits of Golden-i Infinity's Hands-free Computing Capabilities
WESTBOROUGH, Mass.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Kopin Corporation (NASDAQ:KOPN), a global pioneer in wearable technologies for training and simulation, industrial and enterprise markets, today announces that it has begun shipping evaluation units to a wide range of customers, including over a dozen Fortune 500 companies and leaders in the oil and gas, transportation, wireless telecom, logistics and manufacturing industries as part of its Golden-i™ Infinity Evaluation Program.
With approximately 100 companies already registered, the evaluation program is designed to assist enterprise customers in making an informed purchasing decision when it comes to wearable mobile computing and assisted reality solutions. Golden-i Infinity is purpose-built for enterprise level clients that want a voice-enabled, hands-free wearable computing solution designed to increase worker productivity, improve worker efficiency and reduce work-related errors.
Unlike other wearable AR products in the marketplace, Golden-i Infinity is unique because it acts as an accessory for a mobile phone or Windows laptop and harnesses that device's computing power and storage – so Infinity is incredibly lightweight, tiny, low cost, and easy to develop for. Golden-i Infinity weighs less than a golf ball and is about the size of a Bluetooth headset, yet delivers incredible power for field workers.
Press interested in experiencing Golden-i Infinity first-hand will be able to do so at Pepcom Digital Experience, taking place January 7th in Las Vegas.
"We understand the complex challenges that today's IT departments face when equipping workers with new technologies. AR solutions are no different," said Mike McMahon, VP Business Development and Marketing, Golden-i Infinity. "While we believe that the feature set, future-proof design and vast compatibility of Infinity makes it an attractive contender, we want our customers to be absolutely sure of their decision to deploy it. By creating the Golden-i Infinity pilot program, we're making it possible for enterprise customers to test drive Infinity and evaluate its capabilities to ensure it's a proper fit for their organization's workforce."
Designed to serve the needs of field workers in a variety of different industries, Golden-i Infinity is the first voice- and gesture-controlled wearable smart screen device that supports Android and Windows 10-based computing solutions. Golden-i Infinity adds a smart head-worn display and hands-free voice control to smartphones and mobile PCs for improved worker productivity and efficiency. By design, Golden-i Infinity relies on Android or Windows 10 PC devices as their host device, leveraging the technology investments made by an organization opposed to stranding those spent dollars. On top of that, Golden-i Infinity was designed to be future-proof. When an organization invests in new smartphones and PCs with greater capabilities, Golden-i Infinity by design automatically benefits from those upgrades.
While in most cases, realizing the return-on-investment of equipping a workforce with Golden-i Infinity would be fast, Kopin's Golden-i™ Infinity Evaluation Program will allow organizations to grasp its capabilities and understand its numerous implementation benefits, such as:
Ultra Lightweight and Versatile Form Factor: Weighing under two ounces, it is comfortable to wear for extended periods.
Minimal Safety and Security Concerns: the device has no storage or wireless capabilities – all computing capabilities reside on the host device.
Minimal IT Support Required: Processor, Battery, Storage, Radios, applications and other technology all reside on the host device. Infinity simply serves as an extension of systems already deployed to the workforce.
Leverages Current and Future Computing Solution Investments: Infinity works with Android and Windows 10-based computing solutions that feature a USB-C interface. This means that Infinity works with existing computing hardware that enterprises already own and conform to their standards list.
Works Out of the Box with Most Enterprise Apps: IT departments need not worry about having to have enterprise-specific software rewritten to support Infinity.
SDK Available for Greater Application Customization: While Infinity does work out-of-the-box with most apps, organizations can further utilize Infinity's capabilities via an SDK.
Works in Even the Most Unforgiving Environments: No matter how loud a work environment may be, Infinity is equipped with Kopin's Whisper® technology that allows workers to hear and be heard clearly — keeping hands free to perform the work. Infinity also utilizes Whisper's active crosstalk elimination, so it hears only speech from the wearer. Infinity's microdisplay is the brightest microdisplay offered by Kopin, which allows the screen to be viewed clearly, in perfect detail, even in harsh sunlight.
Works with All Eyewear: Infinity boasts the industry's most innovative mounting solution that allows it to work with all types of eyewear, and can be used with the left or right eye. Its strong magnetic attachment bracket allows it to be quickly and easily shared among multiple employees/shifts.
Military Tough and IP67 Rated: Infinity holds up well and will ensure years of durability even in the harshest Enterprise environments.
Golden-i Infinity will be available through professional value-added resellers (VARs) at a suggested price of $899. Enterprise customers and software partners interested in evaluating Golden-i Infinity can register to do by visiting: https://partners.golden-i.com.

It is an international certification comparable to a notarisation in domestic law, and normally supplements a local notarisation of the document.
Satisfaction 100% Guaranteed
Flexible service delivery
The Hague Convention Abolishing the Requirement of Legalisation for Foreign Public Documents, the Apostille Convention, or the Apostille Treaty, is an international treaty drafted by the Hague Conference on Private International Law. It specifies the modalities through which a document issued in one of the signatory countries can be certified for legal purposes in all the other signatory states. A certification under the terms of the convention is called an apostille. If the convention applies between two countries, such an apostille is sufficient to certify a document's validity, and removes the need for double-certification, by the originating country and then by the receiving country.
How to proceed if you need certified translation services.
Apostille / Legalization of Documents / Certifying Documents / Certificate Authentication / Certificate of Authenticity
The official translation of an apostille must be bound with the entire document legalised by means of an apostille.
The official apostille translation consists of (usually) four pages, which the translator binds and staples together and endorses the document with his official stamp.
Front page: Identifies the official translator and the client.
The client identification must include: first and last name and the address of the person who orders the translation.
Second page: apostille
Third page: translation of the apostille into the target language.
The translation must be done by an official translator authorised by the judicial authorities of the respective state.
Fourth page: Translator's Certificate. The last page of the official translation of the apostille consists of the translator's clause stating that this is a true and correct translation of the original. It bears the imprint of the official stamp of the translator and his signature.
What to do if I need an apostille translation?
1. Scan the entire apostilled document.
2. Upload the scanned document via ILUMINATA e-shop at www.translatecee.com or attach it to an e-mail addressed to info@iluminata.sk.
3. Select the target language.
4. According to the target language and the method of delivery and picking up the physical copy of the translation, you will receive an e-bill with the delivery date.
Client request: official apostille translation from Romanian into Slovak
Steps of the delivery process:
1. Upload the scanned document to which the apostille is attached
2. Specify target language
3. You will receive an e-bill and an address to which you must send the document for further processing
4. We will send you the translation not later than 72 hours of your payment receipt to an address you indicate by registered mail

Finding stores where you're able to purchase food and household staples without packaging can be a challenge. I've compiled a list of stores throughout the country that will allow you to purchase unpackaged staples in your own containers. You can use this list to help you find bulk goods while traveling, or if you're just starting your transition to a zero waste lifestyle.
All of the stores on my list allow or encourage you to bring your own bulk bags, jars, or containers. I've focused on smaller, locally owned grocery stores and co-ops because in my experience they're more likely to welcome containers brought from home. But, it's possible that a larger store near you will allow you to fill your own containers at their bulk section, too, so consider trying out a few larger stores close to your home if you can't find what you need at smaller outlets.


Two years after a few Indian youth fled to the frontlines of Syria to fight jihad alongside Islamic State (IS), the militant group has released a video showing the Indian fighters in its troops. Dressed in military fatigue, a boat full of Indians — streaming on the Orontes river in Homs, western Syria — are depicted carrying Kalashnikovs (see pic), and amongst them are members of Indian Mujaheedin, an unidentified fighter with a stutter and boys from Kalyan, Aman Tandel and Fahad Shaikh. All fighters vow to take revenge against atrocities unleashed against Muslims in Kashmir, demolition of Babri Masjid, communal riots in Gujarat, Assam and Muzaffarabad.


If you're getting married on Moon Bridge, there's only one song you can walk up the aisle to. Moon River of course!
It's hard to find a unique spot for your wedding but Moneera and Tim pulled that off with style. They chose a stone bridge over a meandering stream, tucked away along a bush walk in Sydney's Cooper Park. It was the first time a ceremony had been held there and it worked brilliantly, with the bridal party and groomsmen standing either side of a stairway leading up from the bridge, and Tim and Mon at the bottom. It gave the whole ceremony a great sense of theatre and occasion.
Tim and Mon are a couple destined to be together. They were born in the same hospital, in the same month of the same year, they went to the same school and they have the same friends. So as Moneera walked up to the bridge to that special song, sung live by a friend, it was a very natural progression of their friendship.
A close long-term friend shared some wonderful words about the bride and groom. The vows they'd written for each other were both reflective of their personalities, and they received an impromptu round of applause from family and friends as they said them. Moneera dropped a rose from her bouquet into the stream to remember her father, and her mum rounded things off with some moving words.
And as for the date? Well – May the 4th be with them as they head into married life!

Schupan Buying Indiana Metal Recycling Facility from Shapiro
TAGS: Mergers and Acquisitions Metals
Schupan & Sons Inc. said it is buying the South Bend, Ind., metal recycling facility of Shapiro Metals Inc. for an undisclosed amount.
The Kalamazoo, Mich.-based Schupan said in a news release that with the recent shrinking of the recreational vehicle industry, the deal makes sense for both companies. Shapiro will concentrate on growth in other areas of the country and Schupan can fully utilize its industrial scrap processing capacity in Elkhart, Ind., which is near South Bend. The company operates 10 facilities in the Midwest.
The St. Louis-based Shapiro is a metal recycling business with nine recycling centers nationwide.
Marc Schupan, owner of Schupan & Sons, said he has known Shapiro Metals president and CEO Bruce Shapiro for almost 40 years. "Both companies' business philosophy in servicing their customers was very similar," Schupan said.
Schupan & Sons has three divisions, in industrial recycling, aluminum sales and plastic sales. The company is one of the largest independent recyclers of deposit beverage containers in the United States.
As far as future moves, Schupan said, "We will continue to look for acquisitions and strategic partnerships as the opportunities arise."

Western Heights Historic Area
Under $1,000,000
Located just north of the Santa Monica Freeway in Historic West Adams, Western Heights HPOZ is an architecturally diverse enclave filled with custom built homes and modest commercial buildings dating from the turn of the 20th century. The residential streets are characterized by two and two-and-one-half story single family residences in architectural styles including Queen Anne, Craftsman, Tudor Revival, and Spanish Colonial Revival, designed by some of the most prominent architects of Los Angeles, such as Myron Hunt and Paul Williams. The commercial part of the HPOZ along Washington Boulevard features fine examples of the Streamline Moderne style as well as commercial adaptations of the Spanish Colonial Revival style. Much of the community's architectural integrity remains intact despite the construction of the Santa Monica Freeway.
*Please note that the MLS/Claw does not categorize Historic Districts and, as such, some properties may be listed that are adjacent to the HPOZ neighborhoods or in the same zip code. Please feel free to contact us with any questions you have regarding the historic status of a home.
Recognizing the need to identify and protect neighborhoods with distinct architectural and cultural resources, the City of Los Angeles has developed an expansive program of Historic Preservation Overlay Zones (HPOZs). HPOZs, commonly known as historic districts, provide for review of proposed exterior alterations and additions to historic properties within designated districts.

What Role for UN Peacekeepers in Tackling Ebola?
By Michael R. Snyder
Image: NIAID/Flickr
This article was originally published by IPI Global Observatory on 8 September, 2014.
The spread of the Ebola virus in West Africa is "racing ahead" of efforts to control it, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). On Friday, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon issued an " international rescue call" for a surge in assistance, including doctors, beds, supplies, and vehicles needed to halt the spread of the outbreak in West Africa. Of all the countries affected by the virus, Liberia is one of the hardest hit, with 1,698 reported cases and 871 deaths as of August 31.
Understandably, international media attention is focusing on the efforts of frontline health and humanitarian organizations such as the WHO, UNICEF, and Médecins Sans Frontières. However, UN peacekeepers currently stationed in Liberia as part of the UN mission there known as UNMIL could also play a role.
Comprised of around 4,500 troops, including eight formed police units, with a presence in 11 of 15 of Liberian counties, UNMIL represents a sizable international military and civilian presence in the country at a time when outside assistance is sorely needed. Depending on how the Ebola crisis evolves, UNMIL could prove to be the lynchpin of international efforts to maintain peace and security in the country. Alternatively, it could end up doing more harm than good.
It is therefore worth asking what role UNMIL is playing in the fight against Ebola. What are peacekeepers doing to stop the virus and protect civilians? Can and should they be doing more?
These are important questions—not only for the people of Liberia but also because UNMIL is in the midst of a gradual drawdown, with plans for a full withdrawal and turnover to Liberian security forces by 2016. Following the outbreak, however, the secretary-general asked the Security Council to delay the drawdown and rollover the current mandate by three months. The mission's ability to contribute positively to the situation in Liberia will no doubt weigh heavily on the Security Council's decision in the coming months.
Initially authorized in 2003 following the country's decade-long civil war, UNMIL does not have a mandate to stop the spread of disease, nor is it equipped to address a major biological outbreak. However, as a multidimensional peacekeeping mission, its mandate includes the provision of humanitarian assistance and, crucially, the protection of civilians. In the past, this mostly meant protection against armed groups; however, UNMIL now needs to interpret this language to mean supporting the government in its effort to protect the population against a deadly pathogen.
Since the outbreak occurred earlier this year, UNMIL has primarily played a supporting role. It has provided humanitarian and logistical support, such as donating vehicles for use against Ebola and medical trainings, and coordinated with other actors such as WHO and UNICEF. Significantly, the mission is disseminating lifesaving information on Ebola prevention via UNMIL radio and community outreach, which is critical to educate the public about the disease and quash myths and misconceptions.
UNMIL also provides a reassuring security presence. Not only has the public health situation been devastated by the virus, the security situation has deteriorated as well. The West Point incident, in which the Liberian government quarantined the population of the West Point slum, setting off clashes between residents and security forces, is the most high-profile example of the breakdown of law and order in the country. If the situation deteriorates further, one option is for UNMIL
to provide a critical failsafe by maintaining stability and providing other policing and military support (assuming this idea can gain traction in the Security Council).
Limited Engagement
Despite these positive contributions, UNMIL's policy toward Ebola might best be described as one of limited engagement. As one UN official confided, UNMIL is helping the government lead the fight to end the disease, but it is not directly confronting the challenge. For instance, UNMIL is not involved in any quarantine or isolation operations. While peacekeepers are on "standby" to monitor Ebola victims, according to UN officials, they haven't yet been called upon to do so. Finally, UNMIL "has not, and will not, enforce the government-imposed isolation of affected areas," according to the secretary-general.
In reality, the mission may be more concerned with how to prevent its peacekeepers from doing more harm than good. There are major risks in rotating out peacekeepers who have not been properly screened. Perhaps the only thing more devastating to the UN's credibility and public image than the cholera outbreak in Haiti, in which Nepali peacekeepers are believed to have introduced a cholera strain into the country, would be the spread of Ebola outside of Africa by way of the UN.
As a result, the mission has taken robust measures to ensure the safety of peacekeepers and civilian staff, including restricting all personnel to essential movement only. An isolation center has been established to screen UN personnel for infection, and a treatment center is now being set up. These efforts are also carried out in a bid to reassure troop- and police-contributing countries that their peacekeepers remain safe, especially after the Philippines announced in August that it would withdraw its troops due to safety concerns.
Looking Back and Forward
In reality, the mission's most important contributions may be both behind and ahead of us. UNMIL has operated in Liberia since 2003 with a broad mandate to reform the security sector, promote the rule of law, and extend the authority of the government by strengthening national institutions and capacities.
The obvious fragility of Liberia's security and governance institutions calls into question the effectiveness of these statebuilding efforts. If Liberia's institutions continue to slowly erode in the face of a viral epidemic, this will inevitably raise the question of why UNMIL, which has been in Liberia for over a decade at a cost of more than six billion dollars, has not been able to build up a functioning government and professionalized security forces which can prevent the breakdown of law and order.
Looking forward, there are steps that the mission could take to play a more proactive role in stopping the spread of the virus. For instance, UNMIL could adopt a coordinated strategy with Liberia's police and security institutions. The West Point debacle might have been prevented had UNMIL provided better advisory support or, as a last resort, intervened.
Additionally, peacekeepers could play a more active role in supporting international efforts to isolate the disease, such as by providing security escorts for international health experts to Ebola-affected areas. Given the strict precautions for UN personnel, the fears of troop- and police-contributing countries are not fully justified, especially given that these countries frequently put their troops in arguably more dangerous situations as part of robust peacekeeping missions, such as MINUSMA in Mali.
The following weeks and months will be a decisive test for the Liberian government. If not handled carefully, the Ebola scourge might reverse the fragile gains made by the UN in the country over the last 10 years. UNMIL can help to tip the scales—and preserve its own legacy—by bringing to bear the full resources and capabilities at its disposal as part of a proactive and coordinated approach to snuffing out the Ebola virus.

Happy birthday 'Cannonball' Dick Redding
Happy birthday to "Cannonball" Dick Redding, a Negro Leagues pitcher who threw a no-hitter for the Lincoln Giants in 1912 and likely threw dozens more.
Redding, born on this date in 1890 in Atlanta, no-hit the Cuban Stars in Atlantic City on Wednesday, August 28, 1912, for a 1-0 victory. Redding played for a variety of teams from 1911 through 1928 and has been described as throwing as many as 30 career no-hitters — seven in 1912 alone. Unfortunately, finding box scores for Negro League games is a challenging endeavor, so it's tough to add more exact dates to our
One other Redding no-hitter was referenced by the New York Press in its story about the August 28 no-no — an August 5 perfect game against the Cherokee Indians during that club's East Coast barnstorming tour.

Report: Scooter Braun sells the masters of Taylor Swift's albums to an investment fund
Axelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic
Earlier this month, Taylor Swift fans celebrated the fact that she's now legally free to re-record her old albums — something she said last year that she intended to do. Well, she might want to get to it.
Variety reports music manager Scooter Braun has sold the master rights to Taylor's first six albums to an investment fund. He first purchased the masters — as well as Taylor's former record label, Big Machine — 17 months ago for a little more than $300 million.
At the time, a furious Taylor said the sale took place without her knowledge and claimed she hadn't been offered the chance to buy the masters herself outright.
Taylor also said at the time that she planned to re-record her catalog in order to ensure that the new recordings — and not the old ones owned by Braun — would be the ones that are streamed by fans and used in ads, TV shows and movies. In this way, Taylor hoped to rob Braun of any income he planned to make from her old songs.
Taylor's decision was partly driven by the fact that she considers Braun an enemy. It's not clear how she feels about the new owners of her masters, who have yet to be disclosed.
As for why Braun would have gotten rid of Taylor's masters at a time when well-known musicians' catalogs are selling for millions and are increasing in value, Variety says some insiders think a reason why he'd want to "divest of such property" is the incoming Biden administration, and an anticipated increase in capital gains taxes.
So far, Taylor hasn't publicly responded to the news.

We use Ixia's free Qcheck utility and Chariot network peformance evaluation program to put HomePlug power line network gear through their paces. We use the simple test setup pictured below to run our tests under four different conditions.
Testing is done in a wood frame two floor residence of recent-construction with 200Amp split-phase electrical service, no whole-house surge protection installed. A HomePlug to Ethernet Bridge (the "reference bridge") is used to provide a HomePlug connection into our Ethernet test LAN and is plugged directly into a wall outlet in our office test area. There is an assortment of networking gear and computers plugged into three APC UPS units on the same power circuit, and usually two to three computers running. A HomePlug adapter or Bridge (from the same manufacturer unless other wise noted) is attached to a client laptop and measurements are taken at four locations.
Condition #1: Client in same room as reference bridge, both plugged directly into same power outlet (same branch circuit, same mains phase).
Condition #2: Client in upper floor room directly above, connected to different branch circuit, same mains phase.
Condition #3: Client in upper floor room, opposite end of residence, approximately 60 feet away, different branch circuit, different mains phase.
Condition #4: Client on upper floor external porch, opposite end of residence, approximately 60 feet away, different branch circuit, different mains phase.
1) Transfer Rate - More commonly known as Throughput, this test is a measure of how fast data moves between the two test partnets. The test sends a file from client to client, measures how much time it takes, and calculates the result in Mbps (Megabits per second). Our test sends one MegaByte of data (the most that Qcheck will do). Higher numbers are better.
2) Response Time - This test measures the delay (also known as lag, or latency) in the test setup, and is essentially what you'd measure by using the ping command. This test sends a small packet of data from one test partner to the other, and measures the time it takes to receive a reply. Our test setup runs the test 10 times in a row and calculates the average and maximum times. Lower numbers are better, especially for gaming and any voice or video applications, but anything under 10ms (milliseconds) is fine.
3) UDP Stream - This test measures how well a continuous stream of data is handled. In addition to giving an indication of whether you'll have trouble listening to Internet audio or watching video program streams, it tends to show whether there is a high bit error rate, or poor speed autoranging algorithm. It uses the connectionless UDP protocol, which has less overhead and error recovery mechanisms than the TCP protocol (picture a fire hose being turned on vs. a water bucket brigade). Our test setup pushes data at a 500 kbps (0.5Mbps) rate for 10 seconds and results in two numbers. You want the Actual Throughput number to be as close to 500 kbps as possible and the Lost Data to be ideally zero.
Tests are run from the Qcheck console in the laptop, with data flow from the laptop to the Ethernet LAN client, which is running the Qcheck endpoint.
We also sometimes use Ixia's Chariot network peformance evaluation program to run longer transfer rate/throughput tests and then plot the results. This can be helpful to get a better idea of how a network performs with large file transfers, and also the variation in throughput during an extended period of time.We use the Throughput.scr script (which is an adaptation of the Filesndl.scr long file send script) unmodified, and run the script for one minute in batch mode and don't poll the endpoint. We then use the Chariot Comparison program to generate comparison plots and statistics for various groups of tests.
We tend to use the same computers to run the tests, with the Ethernet client running Win98SE or WinXP, and having 300MHz or better processor speeds and memory configurations in excess of 256MB. The test laptop, however, has a 266MHz Pentium, with 96MB of memory, running WinXP Home. The test machines have no other applications running during testing.


Quilting may not necessarily seem like the kind of skill that a 21st-century learner would want to develop. It's a really low-tech and finicky process, but a strong interest in sewing among a group of Grade 3 students led to Ms. Sharon Goodman and Ms. Lynn Porteous excitedly launching the new Quilting Club last week.
Over the course of the after-school club, Sharon and Lynn hope the Grade 3 students learn how to thread a needle and sew a basic seam, so that by the end of the year they each can proudly walk away with a small patchwork square that shows off their handiwork.
"It's kind of a lost art, and it's really cool to see how into it they are," Sharon says.
Of particular interest to the Junior School is the fact that the Quilting Club provides the students with an opportunity to work on their fine motor skills.


Hot cross buns are traditional Easter Rolls that are marked with a cross, usually made from frosting. The bun, filled with dried fruit, was originally baked in honor of Eastre, Godess of Spring.During the Middle Ages all breads were marked with a cross — bakers felt that the holy marking would keep the devil from causing the bread to mold or burn. In the 1600s, under the pressure from Puritans, this practice was discontinued except on certain holy days. In fact the only time baked goods couple be marked with a cross was Good Friday.
Here's the deal. While I love raisins and other dried fruit out of the box I rarely like it in any sort of baked thing. The texture changes and it just bothers me. Hot cross buns are generally a minefield of rum soaked dried fruit and, while I am not adverse to rum for breakfast, the whole package together is just not something that most of my family would enjoy. Keeping that in mind I decided to throw caution to the wind, remove whatever nutritional value might be lurking in the buns, and substitute the dried fruit with white chocolate chips.
These are big, chewy, sweet, spicy buns with a fragile sugar crust on the top that teases you with a crisp shell that melts away in seconds. Cloves, nutmeg, and roasted cinnamon make the whole house smell amazing while they are baking. As you eat them you get random blasts of white chocolate. They are not as sweet as a cinnamon roll but way more interesting than a piece of toast. Slightly warmed with a slather of orange marmalade?
Now, there's no reason that you need to wait for Easter to make them. Hot Cross buns are just as yummy on a dreary, rainy Wednesday as they are on Good Friday. Maybe even better.
If you are pushed for time you can even cover the unbaked, shaped rolls loosely with greased plastic wrap and let them rise in the refrigerator overnight.
Hot cross buns are a traditional Easter treat that has a tradition that goes back centuries. This updated version is perfect for those that dislike dried fruit – white chocolate chips are substituted for the raisins and currants.
Lightly grease a 9″ x 13″ pan.
Mix together all of the dough ingredients except the white chocolate chips.
Knead until the dough is soft and elastic.
Mix in the white chocolate.
Arrange them in the prepared pan.
Cover the pan, and let the buns rise for 1 hour.
Whisk together the reserved egg white and cream, and brush it over the buns.
Bake the rolls for 20 minutes, until they're golden brown.
Mix together the icing ingredients.
Pipe a cross on the cooled buns.
It's best to keep this a little cooler than normal or the white chocolate will melt into the dough. Use 100 degree ingredients instead of 110 and let rise in a spot that's under 100 degrees for a little longer if necessary. Hot cross buns can be frozen (unfrosted) for up to 3 months.
do you have a recipie for chelsea buns that doesnt include dried fruit as my daughter hates dried fruit but has to make chelsea buns art school. She loves cinnamon so wondering if i could us eteh same recipie as for hot cross buns?

Senate GOP Says Democrats Support Iran Sanctions
by Oren Dorell
http://dubowitz.pundicity.com/17011/senate-gop-says-democrats-support-iran-sanctions
Republican senators will press ahead with a bill that would increase sanctions on Iran as a backstop to negotiations and said no Democrats have abandoned the effort despite lobbying by President Obama.
"We still have 59 co-sponsors on the sanctions bill," said Sen. John Barrasso, R-Wyo., a member of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations. Barrasso said he spoke to committee chairman, Sen. Robert Menendez, D-N.J., "and he's fully supportive" of seeking a vote on the bill.
"We're going to try to attach it to every vote that comes up before the Senate," Barrasso said. "That plan is not changing."
Mark Dubowitz, executive director of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, disagrees. The bill is "carefully drafted so it provides flexibility the administration needs to peacefully resolve the Iranian nuclear crisis in a way that doesn't give Iran a nuclear weapons breakout capacity," Dubowitz said.

The AIDS Healthcare Foundation, better known for its efforts to put condoms on porn actors, is suing Los Angeles to stop a high-rise development that would go next door to its Hollywood headquarters.
The suit, filed Thursday in Superior Court, also names the Pallidum Project's developers.
It seeks to overturn the City Council's approval last month of two 30-story towers containing more than 730 apartments, as well as shops, restaurants and parking.
The foundation, headquartered in a 24-story tower next door, has been an opponent of huge development in the area.
It says this project packs too much residential development into too small an area.
It also accuses the city of violating environmental quality standards and other regulations.
The project's supporters say it would bring needed housing to the area.

At a glance can see these nissing.
Fpl draft divisionals and first draft.
Let me guess, most of them in the wrong forums!
The 2019 league is still be discussed in the 2018 thread, but I believe the others are in the correct forums?
Added TFF 500, Fantasy King and TFF Championship, drafts also appear to be under discussion along with the TFF 2019 League.
Found that one easily enough, the Fantasy Kings is a bit too hidden for my liking.
Might be why I'm struggling for numbers! Are you in again vid?
There are other ones that I play too (some might be private, others have a limit to the number of players) - FISODAS, Ralf's Both teams to score & Ralf's PL prediction league, SP4's Enormous one, murf's TFF Highlander league, Striker's draft TFF and FPL games, bspittles Draft H2H Divisionals. Sure there are some I have forgotten!
No currently active threads for FISODAS, nor any that I've seen for draft games, unsure whether the Private Predictions Forum is actually still private.
Not sure if Spencer4's and Ralfberg's games are open to all?
I think I've more or less caught up, any glaring omissions then please let me know!
The Championship has certainly come into its own and has secured a niche! ~ To celebrate, here's a League just crying out for your participation?
" The best way to spend £2 this season..."
WITH all the sadness and trauma going on in the world at the moment, it is worth reflecting on the death of a very important person, which almost went unnoticed last week. Larry LaPrise, the man who wrote The Hokey Cokey, died peacefully at the age of 93. The most traumatic part for his family was getting him into the coffin. They put his left leg in … and then the trouble started.
Will do. I hope I won't forget (both to start it in time and to remind to update it here ).
I would but I'm a computer idiot.
thanks flyingkiller for setting up Fiso league for prediction game.

Earlier this week we shared the story of Power Woman Farida van den Stoom (click here to read her feature in Dutch). She told us how she flicked the switch in her mind after a series of setbacks. Your mindset determines how you react and deal with situations. How do you deal with setbacks? In this blog we offer you a few suggestions.
When you are in a positive flow, you can get pretty down after a few setbacks. Whether it's an injury after you've just started working out again, a financial setback when you just saved up to invest in your company or a partner who decides to leave you even though you were under the impression your relationship couldn't be any better. It is hard work staying positive during those moments. Especially when you experience several setbacks within a short time period. Never forget at these times that you are the director of your life; you can't always decide what happens to you, but you can decide how you deal with it.
Keep your goal in mind. Whatever happens, if your goal is still the same, hold on to it. Go back to the basics; why did you start this in the first place? Place reminders of your goal everywhere you can; post-its in the house and in the car, add a screensaver on your laptop and phone, etc.
Don't be too hard on yourself. It is not the end of the world if it's going to take you longer to reach your goal, or if you have to start over again. In reality, you don't really start over, because you've learned from your past mistakes and are therefore further along than before. As long as you know what you are doing and you keep your goal in mind, you are unstoppable!
Put your setback in perspective. In relation to other suffering in the world, your setback is certainly unpleasant but not insurmountable. Things could always be worse.
Stay positive. If necessary, change your password to Happiness  just like Farida. Do things that make you happy. This will bring you back to a positive vibe and you will feel motivated to pick up where you left off in no time. Last but not least, don't forget to enjoy the journey towards your goal.
How do you deal with setbacks? Do you have a clear goal in mind? Do you have any tips you would like to share? Let us know in the comments. Do you want to share your story to inspire others? Mail us at info@wgotthis.nl. We'll be in touch!

Foundation Repair | Lancaster, OH | 43130
Facts About Lancaster
The earliest known inhabitants of the southeastern and central Ohio region were the Hopewell, Adena, and Fort Ancient Native Americans, of whom little evidence survived, beyond the burial and ceremonial mounds built throughout the Ohio and Mississippi valleys. Many mounds and burial sites have also yielded archaeological artifacts. (See also: Serpent Mound and Hopewell Culture National Historical Park, which though not located in Fairfield County, are close by.)
Prior to and immediately after European settlement, the land today comprising Lancaster and Fairfield County, Ohio was inhabited variously by the Shawnee, nations of the Iroquois, Wyandot, and other Native American tribes. It served as a natural crossroads for the intertribal and intra-tribal wars fought at various times. (See also: Beaver Wars) Noted frontier explorer Christopher Gist reached the vicinity of Lancaster on January 19, 1751, when he visited the small Delaware town of "Hockhocking" nearby. Leaving the area the next day, Gist rode southwest to "Maguck", another Delaware town near Circleville.
Having been ceded to the United States by Great Britain after the American Revolution by the Treaty of Paris, the lands north of the Ohio River and west of the Appalachian Mountains became, in 1787, incorporated into the Northwest Territory. White settlers began to encroach on Native American lands in the Northwest Territory. As the new government of the United States began to cast its eye westward, the stage was set for the series of campaigns that culminated in the Battle of Fallen Timbers in 1794, and the Treaty of Greenville in 1795. With pioneer settlement within Ohio made legal and safe from Indian raids, developers began to speculate in land sales in earnest.
Knowing that such speculation, combined with Congressional grants of land sections to veterans of the Revolution, could result in a lucrative opportunity, Ebenezer Zane in 1796 petitioned the United States Congress to grant him a contract to blaze a trail through Ohio, from Wheeling, West Virginia, to Limestone, Kentucky, (near modern Maysville, Kentucky) a distance of 266 miles (428 km). As part of the deal, Zane was awarded square-mile tracts of land at the points where his trace crossed the Hocking, Muskingum, and Scioto rivers. Zane's Trace, as it has become known, was completed by 1797. As Zane's sons began to carve the square-mile tract astride the Hocking into saleable plots, the village of Lancaster was founded in 1800. Lancaster predated the formal establishment of the state of Ohio by three years. There were also many villages and townships settled right outside of Lancaster around the same time i.e. Lithopolis, Royalton, and Greencastle, Ohio which contributed to the booming success of the small village.
The initial settlers were predominantly of German stock, many from Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and had migrated from Pennsylvania. Ohio's longest continuously operating newspaper, the Lancaster Eagle-Gazette, was born of a merger of the early Der Ohio Adler, founded about 1807, with the Ohio Gazette, founded in the 1830s. The two newspapers were ferocious competitors since they were on opposite sides of the American Civil War, with Der Ohio Adler anti-slavery and supporting the Union. The city also had numerous migrants from the Upper South who sympathized with the Confederacy. The two newspapers merged more than two generations later in 1937, seventy-two years after the war's end. This was shortly after the Gazette was acquired by glassmaker Anchor-Hocking. The newspaper is currently part of the Newspaper Network of Central Ohio, which is in turn a unit of Gannett Company, Inc. Initially known as New Lancaster, and later shortened by city ordinance (1805), the town quickly grew; formal incorporation as a city came in 1831. The connection of the Hocking Canal to the Ohio and Erie Canal in this era provided a way for the region's rich agricultural produce to reach eastern markets.


UK: A day in the life of an analyst - CITY ANALYSTS.
Ewan Fraser is at the top of his profession. Aged 44, he is Extel's number two ranked metals sector analyst. Educated at Eton and Christ Church, Oxford he took a first class degree in Modern History and stayed on to complete a PhD, before joining Rowe Rudd as electronics analyst in 1972. Three years later, he left to follow engineering and metals at James Capel where he stayed ever since. Despite his protestations that "my day is never typical" he gave this breakdown of a typical day.
7.00 Leaves house in north London. Reads Financial Times on the journey.
7.45 Arrives at James Capel's office in Bevis Marks in the heart of the City. Quick scan of the business pages of the other "heavies" - Times, Telegraph, Guardian and Independent and chat to other two analysts in Capel's engineering team.
8.00 The morning meeting. Held on the trading floor and attended by all the firm's 70 salesmen, plus analysts. Any analyst who has anything to announce - overnight developments, results expected, takeover news - speaks at the microphone in the middle of the room. The salesmen listen intently. Capel's offices in the Far East and Europe also listen in. In New York, the firm's traders will hear a recording when they arrive for work. Fraser takes the stand to discuss the impact of British Steel prices on British Steel. He tells the salesforce the shares are more a buy than a sell with some risk involved."
8.30 The meeting ends. Fraser returns to his desk to write up his contribution for the morning meeting notes. Sent to clients, they are a detailed digest of the meeting.
9.30 Fraser leaves the office for a results briefing for analysts from one of the major companies he follows - British Steel, ASW, Glynwed, IMI. When the meeting ends, he phones through his views to the rest of his team. One of his colleagues takes the microphone and gives a quick rundown of Fraser's views.
10.30 Returns to Bevis Marks and takes over to give a fuller picture.
10.40 Fraser returns to his desk and begins calling 40 to 50 institutional clients with his reaction and views. It could take two days before he speaks to them all. Meanwhile, he is constantly watching the Topic share prices screen and keeping an eye on the wire services for any news and announcements. Colleagues and clients constantly phone with market stories and rumours for his advice and for him to check.
12.30 Lunch in the office with a group of fund managers from one of Capel's institutional clients - Allied Dunbar, Barings, Eagle Star, Coal Board Pension Fund. Fraser is pressed for his views in the market and his sector.
2.30 Afternoon meeting. Same as the morning but not as long. Fraser takes the stand, to comment on the day's events in engineering and steel. New York listens in.
2.45 Continues calling clients. Starts writing up a fuller paper on the results.
4.00 Deadline for the paper. Fraser sends his copy to the communications department. His words will land on clients' desks in the morning. He catches up on the day's gossip. A journalist calls with a story. Fraser gives his opinion.
4.30 This is the time when the stock market closes. This doesn't affect Fraser at all as James Capel's traders carry on dealing after hours and New York is still open.


Gonjiam Psychiatric hospital, well known locally as one of the most haunted places in South Korea, gained international notoriety when CNN named it as one of the '7 Freakiest Places on Earth.' Shrouded in mystery, the desolate location is the home of urban legends telling of abandoned patients, deranged doctors and horrific experiments. With all the elements for a perfect horror movie in place, director Jung Bum-shik went to work and ended up making the surprise hit of 2018 and the country's second most successful horror movie of all time.
The found footage format has been a horror staple since the Blair Witch Project first wormed its way into the collective fears of a generation, showing just how successful a film an original idea and a couple of video cameras could make. Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum gives the format a modern update, with GoPro cameras and drones live-streaming the action for YouTube, yet the core remains the same; take a cast of unknowns, throw in an isolated location and an urban legend, and watch the terror unfold.
