As Astral and Roshen stepped through the door at the far side of the dark room, they were met by a Techo with a slightly maniacal grin on his pointed face. "I have it!" he exclaimed.
"The ray?" asked Astral excitedly, her six paws clenching eagerly.
Astral's face fell slightly. "What is it, then?"
"Mirkelloyd's number on the Imperial Communications Network!"
Astral was silent. Roshen, understandably, had no idea what was going on, so the Aisha also kept silent and looked around the room. It was full of machinery, every contraption cobbled together out of what looked like rusty spare parts. He had no idea what any of them were for. He remembered Astral saying something about someone named Akzanti working on a detransmogrification ray, though. He assumed the Techo must be Akzanti, since the only other person in the machinery-filled room was Commander Pagger. The Lenny was fiddling with some dials on a machine that looked ready to collapse at any moment.
The Techo - Akzanti - sat and beamed at them, bouncing up and down and humming under his breath. Finally, in a resigned tone of voice, Astral said, "All right. Who's Mirkelloyd?"
"My old friend from the factory!" explained Akzanti. "He was something else, I remember that."
"I don't remember you telling me about him before," said Astral, slightly confused.
Astral closed her eyes for a moment, then opened them again. "Okay. Why do we need to know his communication number?"
Akzanti thought for some time. Finally, he said, "The reason's slipped my mind. I've got the number, though!"
"Oh, I finished that yesterday," said Akzanti cheerfully.
There was complete silence in the room. Roshen risked a quick glance at Astral; her eyes were closed. She seemed to be counting under her breath. "Why didn't you - never mind. You've finished it?"
"Yes!" said Akzanti cheerfully. He frowned. "Well, almost, anyway. All it needs is one more essential part, and it will finally be complete! And it'll be something else then, I can tell you that!" He proceeded to bounce up and down and chuckle quietly.
"What's the 'one more essential part?'" asked Astral in the tone of one who senses impending doom.
"Oh, nothing much," said Akzanti casually. "Just a paintbrush."
"A paintbrush?" gasped Astral and Roshen in unison.
"Yes, that's all," the Techo continued cheerfully. "Just one. Any color will do. I only need one so that the cellular influential beam projector can have a submolecular sample for-"
"Akzanti, no one but the Emperor has even seen a paintbrush in over fifty years!" Astral interrupted. "He's got them all locked up in some room on that Space Station of his, unless he's destroyed them by now, which is quite likely!"
"Oh, come on!" said Akzanti, still in that same cheerful tone. "Why would he do a silly thing like that?"
"Because he hates and despises the mere thought of any Neopet who isn't Mutant," said Astral flatly. "That's one reason why Caralen can't leave our hideout."
"Oh, yeah. Right," said Akzanti, nodding. He looked dejected for a few seconds, then brightened again. "Hey, didn't the Faeries used to give out paintbrushes?"
"Yes," said Astral sadly. "Unfortunately, the Faeries are all locked up in the Space Station too. The first thing the Emperor did after taking over was to have some Faerie hunter - Althabar or something - catch them all in bottles. The Emperor hates Faeries even more than non-Mutant Neopets."
At this, Akzanti's face fell. "Well, that certainly puts a stop to my work for now," he sighed. "I guess I can try to figure out some other way to work it, but I can't promise anything."
"Just do your best," said Astral. "You'll get it someday."
Akzanti nodded glumly and turned back into the room. He yelled, "Don't touch that!" at Commander Pagger just a moment before the machine the Lenny had been fiddling with collapsed on the floor, scattering small pieces in all directions.
"My goodness, it self-destructed!" began Commander Pagger in a tone of great amazement.
Astral and Roshen ducked out of the room quickly.
"Ah, a new recruit," said a soft voice to the right. "Good, we can always use more of those." Roshen looked over to see a table he hadn't noticed before. In the dark room, this wasn't surprising, though it was a fairly large one. A small Kacheek sat at it, her fangs clenched in concentration as she sifted through piles of hundreds of pieces of paper. A stub of candle flickered above her chair. "Do you have any more scraps?" she whispered without looking up.
"Yes, in fact," said Astral, digging into a pouch at her waist. "Five of them." She gently pulled five small scraps of paper out of the pouch and handed them to the Kacheek. Roshen recognized them, and the ones on the table, as the same pieces of old gray paper that blew through the streets all the time.
"Thanks," whispered the Kacheek. She took the scraps from Astral without once looking away from the ones on the table, sifting them in with the rest.
"Samrindela collects these little pieces of paper," explained Astral. "She's convinced that if she gets enough of them together, they'll tell her something useful."
"The key to the downfall of the Emperor," whispered Samrindela without looking up from the scraps. She slid them together and apart, sifting and sorting and matching, her gaze steady and unblinking. Occasionally, she would lick her paw and stick two scraps together. (Kacheek saliva, as everyone knows, can be used as glue when it dries.) "These are pieces of something called the Neopian Times," she explained softly, her gaze still intent on her paper. "As far as I've been able to tell, it was like the Obedience Pamphlets that the Empire sends out now, but it was full of interesting things." She stuck a small scrap onto the corner of a large sheet of reassembled paper and held it up in front of her. Aside from a few small holes, it was complete. She scanned it quickly, her dark red eyes flicking back and forth over the lines of faded print, then laid it on a stack of similar sheets on the edge of the table and returned to the scraps. "Apparently, someone named Snowflake sent it out every week, full of all sorts of things written by all sorts of people." A piece of paper fluttered off the edge of the table. Samrindela bent down to pick it up, then returned to her scraps. She continued in the same calm, whispering murmur. "They're probably all dead now, but their knowledge is still here in these scraps. Sooner or later, I'm bound to find something that will help us."
"Well, you already found us this place," said Astral. "In some article about the art contest that used to be held down here, right?"
"Precisely," said Samrindela. "Thank you."
"That's the cue for us to go," said Astral quietly to Roshen. They walked off towards yet another side of the huge room. When Roshen looked back at the small Kacheek at the table, he noticed for the first time the towering stacks of paper behind her. They stretched off into the shadows of the room, dusty and silent. The papers of decades.
"Samrindela's a bit crazy," Astral continued, noticing what Roshen was looking at, "but she's got a photographic memory. Every word on every page of those huge piles of paper is still in that brain of hers."
They walked off into the shadows of the room. Behind them, the tiny Kacheek sat in her chair, sifting through scraps of the knowledge of generations as the rest of it loomed high over her. Her tiny feet dangled above the floor and her gaze never wavered.
As he followed Astral across the floor of the room, Roshen finally asked his question. He'd been trying to decide whether or not to ask it since the Lutari had first pulled down her hood and he'd seen her face. The Aisha's curiosity had finally gotten the better of him.
"Don't answer if you don't want to," began Roshen, "but I always - everyone I know always said Lutaris were - well - extinct."
"Not quite," said Astral finally. She pushed the thought of that eighth one out of her mind. "There are still a few of us. There would be more if we'd had more time..." She was silent for a moment, trying to decide how to explain. "You see, most Lutaris didn't look like me. They had just four paws, for one thing, not six. They had shorter muzzles, thicker fur, were less long and thin in general..."
"What happened to you, then?" asked Roshen, and immediately wanted to kick himself. "I mean - um -"
"Not to me, said Astral, smiling. "To my great-great-grandfather, I think it was. He took a transmogrification potion - they came in bottles in those days - but something went wrong. I don't know why. Maybe Lutaris couldn't be turned into Mutants back then, or maybe there was just something strange about him. Anyway, it didn't turn him into a Mutant, not exactly. It just gave him an extra pair of paws and made him look a little different. Our family's been that way ever since - long, thin Lutaris with six paws. Unfortunately, that happened only a few years before the Emperor took over and put a stop to new species arriving. He didn't pay much attention to us at first. We were just a strange little family, the pathetic little misfits that - for some reason - were immune to paintbrushes and had shown up just in time to miss the last Beauty Contest. He didn't even notice us for a long time."
She sighed and closed her eyes again. "Then, a few months after the Emperor put the transmogrification potions into the atmosphere, all the other Lutaris started dying. No one knows why. The potions didn't harm them at all normally. Maybe they just couldn't handle having them everywhere. In the food, in the rivers - we used to live in the rivers before they were as slimy and polluted as they are now. Whatever the cause, all the Lutaris eventually died - except for my family. And not only did we survive, but we weren't affected by the transmogrification potions in any other way either. They didn't change us at all. Apparently, we were as immune to them as we were to paintbrushes. That was when the Emperor started to notice us."
"Immune to mutation," murmured Roshen. "So that's why..." He trailed off, unsure of how to continue.
"Why he's done his best to exterminate us all," Astral finished bitterly. "He drove the other species to extinction simply because he didn't like them, but we were a direct insult to his all-Mutant Empire. He was even more merciless to us than to the rest. Beat 'em if they won't join you. The simple method."
There was nothing Roshen could say to that.
Given the spare, scrounged look of the rest of the Headquarters, Roshen wasn't sure exactly what he was expecting the dinner to be like. If anything, he was trying hard not to expect anything.
That was why it was so surprising to find a veritable banquet of food on the crates that served as tables. Jellies, fresh fruit (not even rehydrated, but fresh!), bread, and - Roshen could barely believe his eyes.
Omelette. There was actually a piece of omelette in front of him. And not only one, but many. A whole plate full of them. Roshen had only heard of omelette before, as a nearly legendary food that only the Emperor ate, if it even existed at all. And now here it was, a whole plate of it.
Commander Pagger was the first to notice the Aisha's incredulous expression. "Now listen, young Aisha," he said with a chuckle. "If your mouths are hanging open like that, you ought to be sticking food in them! Eat with your mouths, not your eye!" With a grin, he pushed a slice of omelette onto Roshen's plate. Carefully, almost reverently, Roshen cut off a corner and put it into his central mouth.
If he had ever seen sunshine through the thick smog that covered the sky, Roshen might have compared his first taste of omelette to that. If he had ever had a warm place to sleep, he might have said that that was what the omelette was like. If he had ever experienced anything remotely pleasant in his not-so-long life, he might have had something to compare that first bite to.
But he didn't. So he simply sat there, his fork limp and forgotten, his eye closed in ecstasy. One by one, the others stopped eating to watch him. All of them except Trevor, anyway - he kept eating while he watched. A Grarrl has to keep his strength up.
"His first omelette, Sir?" murmured Pagger to Astral.
"So I assume," the Lutari replied, smiling at the entranced Aisha.
"I remember my first," said Akzanti dreamily. "It was something else..."
Around the time they were starting to worry just a little bit about Roshen - after all, he hadn't moved in five minutes - he sighed and opened his eye. He blinked happily at them, then cut off another piece of omelette and did the whole thing again.
Samrindela smiled briefly. Her face looked completely different without its usual concentrated expression. Then, her moment of distraction over, she returned to eating mechanically, her eyes and one paw on a small tray of paper scraps next to her plate.
Several hours later, Roshen finished eating his omelette. If it had been warm, it would have been stone cold by the time he was done, but it had been stone cold from the beginning, so that didn't matter. By that time, everyone had gone to sleep on various cushions and old worn mattresses in the corners of the room. The only ones still awake were Akzanti and Commander Pagger, still not-so-hard at work in the workshop. Roshen wandered in there. He was still enjoying the wonderful new feeling of actually not being hungry too much to sleep, anyway. "Where did you get all that food?" he asked Akzanti, who had his arm and head in a recalcitrant machine up to his shoulders.
Akzanti withdrew his head and spared Roshen a short grin before returning to the machine. "We got lucky when Samrindela found this place," he said, his voice echoing metallically from the depths of whatever it was. With his free claw, he gestured towards the ceiling above the crates they had eaten on. "We're right underneath the Emperor's personal food warehouse here. The best food in the entire Empire is right above our heads; all we have to do is saw through the crates and take it out. We've eaten better here than we ever have before in our lives. It's something else."
"Tell him about that poisoning attempt, Akky!" squawked Commander Pagger, a mischievous gleam in his eyes.
"Oh, that," chuckled Akzanti. He withdrew completely from the inside of the machine and leaned against it, grinning at Roshen. "It was just a couple of weeks after we moved into this place. Since the food in this warehouse goes straight to the Emperor's Space Station - right to his table, in fact - Astral thought we could try to poison it." He turned to glare accusingly at the side of the machine he had been leaning on and flattened a lump in the metal with a smack with his spike-covered tail. Smiling again, he turned back to Roshen. "We found this really nasty acid in a leaky pipe in the floor. It was something else; it melted through every container we tried to put it in. Eventually, we had to take a bit of the pipe out and bend it into a container. I don't know what that pipe was made of, but it was something else, I can tell you that. Anyway, we managed to get it into one of those crates of omelette up there (don't ask me how, it'd take hours to explain). After that, we just sat back and waited." He shook his head. "A few months later, the Weekly Imperial Obedience Pamphlet had a short note that the Emperor was looking for a new cook, since the one he had had until then seemed to have overcooked the omelette or something. It 'had tasted less than fit for the Emperor' one evening. That was all our attempt did..."
"I hope it at least gave him indigestion," came a thin voice from the back of the room. Roshen looked into the shadows there and could just barely make out a faint, light-colored figure. He never would have seen it if he hadn't been looking for the source of the voice.
"Hey, Caralen!" said Akzanti cheerfully. "Didn't know you were in here!"
"That shows I'm hiding well enough, I suppose," said the figure, stepping slowly out of the shadows.
Her fur was the most amazing part of her. All of the Neopets the Aisha had seen before had had fur or scales in green, dull blue, dull red, brown, gray, purple - all the dull, dark colors the Emperor loved. Hers was... yellow. The color was so unfamiliar to Roshen that it took him a moment to remember its name. The creature's short fur and the mane down her back were pale and scruffy from years underground, but still unmistakably yellow.
The creature - Caralen, Akzanti had called her - smiled wryly as she saw Roshen staring at her. "Don't bother asking," she said, as if she were used to being asked all the time. "I'm a Kyrii."
Roshen jerked back, startled. "A Kyrii? But-"
"A non-Mutant one," Caralen added quietly.
Roshen was gradually becoming used to the idea that the Neopets he had known all his life were, in reality, only one way that Neopets could look. He had never seen a Mutant Kyrii, and never hoped to, but it explained a lot to find that Caralen was... some other kind of Kyrii.
"As far as I know, I'm the only one left," Caralen continued. "All of the other Kyrii I knew before the Empire are either dead or, worse, mutated now. The atmosphere and the water are so full of transmogrification potions these days, it's nearly impossible to stay normal."
"You've done it, obviously," said Roshen.
The Kyrii's mouth twitched in a mirthless smile. "Only by half-starving myself," she replied. She held up a small metal tube on a thin chain around her neck. "If Akzanti hadn't made me this, I would have been mutated a long time ago. The Faerie Dust in this little thing can take transmogrification potions out of anything, but only in small amounts..." She trailed off.
"So you only eat food you've purified first," said Roshen in quiet amazement.
"Have you ever seen a Mutant Kyrii?" asked Caralen sharply.
"No, actually," Roshen confessed. He shuddered. "I've heard about them, though. I've heard they can-"
"Whatever you've heard, it's probably true," Caralen cut in. "Mutant Kyrii were typical Mutants at first - hairy and hulking - but Emperor Sloth wanted an elite group of soldiers, something to terrify the strongest and most rebellious of his 'subjects.' He somehow enhanced their mutations and got even more than he hoped for. They're almost too strange and horrible to be called Neopets now." She closed her eyes. When she opened them again, they were full of sorrow. "My brother was mutated six weeks into the Emperor's reign," she whispered. "I watched it happen. I am never, ever, ever going to let that happen to me, even if I have to starve to death first."
There was silence in the room. No one could think of anything to say to that. Finally, Caralen turned and shuffled back into the shadows.
"She's something else, that Kyrii," said Akzanti quietly.
That night, Roshen lay on his mattress and sighed happily. For the first time in several years, he was comfortable, safe - for now, anyway - and among people who weren't trying to hunt him down and lock him up. He sighed again, deeply contented, and closed his eye.
It would be a long time before he felt that happy again.
Because the next morning, the soldiers attacked.

55 FIRMS SHUT DOWN SINCE COUP
Sunday, March 10, 2019 NewsdzeZimbabwe 0
OVER 50 companies have been liquidated since President Emmerson Mnangagwa came to power in November 2017, throwing thousands of people out of employment.
Documents obtained by Standardbusiness from the Master of High Court's office showed that 55 companies were granted a provisional order to be liquidated from November 2017 to December 2018.
Between January and October 2017, 49 other companies were granted provisional orders to be liquidated.
Theresa Grimmel, who oversees some of the liquidated firms through her company Trivade (Private) Limited, told this publication that stringent loan collateral requirements as well as unreliable power suppliers were to blame for the company closures.
"The cost of borrowing money and the punitive interest and short-term on loans; the stringent security requirements for loans; the instability of the electricity network; frequent power outages can cause machinery to fail — very expensively, and the interruption to the manufacturing makes it difficult to continue," said Grimmel, in emailed responses to Standardbusiness.
"Management is tired — every day there is the need to 'make a new plan', the machinery is old, the skills have left the country. Artisans are in very short supply.
"The constant changing of the goal posts — refer to the recent overnight change in the duty rates, this makes business very hard."
Some of the companies, which Grimmel oversees as a liquidator include Cheney Pelmets (Private) Limited, Laputa Trading (Private) Limited, Tadnet Investments (Private) Limited, Riverside Funeral Services (Private) Limited, and Retnim Pumps Importers & Maintenance (Private) Limited.
Cheney Pelmets manufactured pelmets, blinds and other curtain tracks, but the company closed due to lack of security, electricity challenges and cheap imports.
"It was a long established company and closed because the facility from, which it operated in Chitungwiza was rented and part of a large complex. When there was no electricity to enable Cheney to operate its machinery, the company had to close," Grimmel said. "It was also facing competition from cheap Chinese imports."
On Laputa Trading, Grimmel said: "It was a farm, which operated on a rental agreement from a new owner.
"The new owner decided to take back large portions of the farm, despite the lease agreement, and the company was reduced to farming small portions of the land available.
"Coupled with a bad agricultural season and the fact that the new owner then held on to all the machinery, the company closed."
Laputa Trading was granted a provisional order to liquidate on December 7, 2018, a year after the current government took office.
Other companies on the list of liquidated firms from 2018 include GT Tavarura Bus Services, Oil Seed Processing (Pvt) Ltd, Gramlex Investments P/L, Bush Mills, Chegutu Canners (Pvt) Ltd, Zimbabwe Oil Soap Manufacturing, Malacoe Investments and BCL Ltd.
Others are Notofy Enterprises (Pvt) Ltd, Kingmaker Corporate Resources, Heritage Printing (Pvt) Ltd, Better Agriculture (Pvt) Lt and Grafax Cotton (Pvt) Ltd, among others.
The closure of these companies is a reflection of serious economic challenges and is an indictment on Mnangagwa's "Zimbabwe is open for business" mantra, observers said.
"For the past 20 or so years we have not found adequate investment to retool," said Charles Nhemo, a liquidator.
"Our companies are competing with global entities, which are using modern technology.
"You talk of a company using equipment, machinery bought with the latest we have in most companies being in the 80s going back and you are competing with modern technology, which produces products with less labour."
He said Chinese and South African industries, which were using modern technology, had a competitive advantage as they were in a better position to churn out improved products.
"The major issue is the economic environment," Nhemo said.
"When we changed from the Zimbabwe dollar to US dollars, there was no investment into new equipment and almost every company's capital was wiped away because you had no exchange of the Zimbabwe dollar into the US dollar.
"So whatever you had in your bank was wiped away and companies are undercapitalised across the sectors."
Lawyer Tawanda Chiurayi, who handles company liquidations, said the recent monetary policy changes would make the environment even more difficult for local firms.
"The question really is looking at the effect of moving from the one-to-one to the RTGS dollar will have on what people owe," he said.
"Statutory Instrument 33 of 2019 said whatever amount or liabilities people have will be converted to RTGS dollars, which in essence suggests amounts have been discounted by about 2,5, which is the official rate.
"So companies that are heavily indebted and have access to forex will find that as a benefit, but those who do not have access to forex will remain in the same position.
"The question would then be: are companies going to be able to improve production and so forth?
"So, really, it is a question of performance. If they owe money, then effectively what it means is that they may still be in a very difficult position."
A number of companies have been struggling to operate due to foreign currency shortages that have forced them to either suspend or shut down some production lines. Standard

The after creation of the forthcoming film Project Ghazi has been finished. The film will be displayed for its blue pencil screening before the Central Board of Film Censors (CBFC) tomorrow, after which it will get a blue pencil declaration for discharge in film houses all around Pakistan. Undertaking Ghazi is booked to discharge March 29 while the CBFC control meeting is to be hung on March 27.
Limited time crusades for the film are going all out the whole way across the nation. The cast, which incorporates Humayun Saeed, Syra Shehroz, Sheheryar Munawar and others are at present in Lahore in this association. Merchants and film proprietors who trust it will be a super hit film are getting ready for its discharge.
"Undertaking Ghazi will discharge in both present day and conventional films in Pakistan, particularly Lahore, Karachi and Islamabad," a Distributors Club official disclosed to The Express Tribune, looking for obscurity.
Undertaking Ghazi is an account of grit and energy. Adjacent to this, there are components of satire inside the film for people in general. Shehroz is trying the job of a researcher while Munawar will assume the job of Major Zain. Saeed will be viewed as Salazar Salah Uddin. Senior on-screen characters Talat Hussain and Adnan Jaffar will likewise be performing fascinating jobs.
It is appropriate to make reference to that Project Ghazi is discharging when two other Pakistani movies Sherdil and Laal Kabootar are as of now right now in films and doing great business. Within the sight of these neighborhood films, Project Ghazi needs to substantiate itself however as per wholesalers, this film will be commanded film houses.

Dataview is a new website set up by Ofsted. It is another way that parents can look at how school's are performing in terms of test data along with information about attendance and the context of schools.
If you are interested in looking at this information please click here and you will be taken direct to the website.


Although we're trend watchers, we're not bandwagon jumpers. We don't seek to build things just because they're popular. We build things that make sense for our clients. Still, when a tidal wave is coming (or arguably already here) we have to chime in.
So here's a pocket guide to marketing to your pocket.
If you really want your site to fit in their pocket, it should be tailored to fit properly. Unfortunately, it's basically impossible to make your site work well on both a full-size browser and a mobile device. However, if you build one site for full-size users and a separate mobile website design (the preferred approach), the site can automatically detect which medium your visitor is using and send them to the correct pages.
Building a mobile version of your site means adapting the design, content and the features.
Design – Simplify the design. Consider a one-column layout. Use few graphics both to save space and load time.
Content – If writing for websites is about being brief, writing for mobile sites is even more so. Remember, you've got about one tenth as many screen pixels. Turn your sections into single pages and your paragraphs into sentences.
Example: visit https://www.orbitmedia.com on your cell phone – notice how you're redirected to the mobile site (http://m.orbitmedia.com)? Compare it to the regular site. You may get some ideas on how a mobile website design is a bit different.
Unlike mobile sites, these are downloaded and installed from the marketplace on your phone (such as the iTunes store). We're talking about small, self-contained programs that don't use a browser. So what are you thinking?
I want to get rich quick by making the coolest new iPhone application.
Selling apps is big business. By 2012, more money will be spent on mobile apps than on music CDs. Keep in mind that the most popular applications are games, followed by mobile shopping and social networking apps. The best apps have great usability, integrate with other systems and often take advantage of sensors on the phone. The best apps are made by masters of both design and technology. Its also important to note the app users have a low attention span in that 95% of apps aren't used a month after download and or that only 20% get touched the day after downloading.
I want to promote my existing business.
You need to think about your audience (What would they like? How can we help them?) and your marketing plan (How can this help us?). Unless your app answers both these questions beautifully, go back to the drawing board.
Either way, you need a great idea. Remember that great ideas are usually simple. You also need a marketing plan. Don't assume that it will catch on like mobile wildfire.
The original way for marketers to appear on someone's phone is to text them. Like any outbound marketing, the results will be based on the how receptive the recipient is. In other words, it's about the quality of the list.
Entertainment venues with young, loyal followings.
Do you know other groups finding success with SMS? Comment below.
Ready to try? A word of caution: Sending text messages will cost you (you'll need to work with an SMS marketing company) and may also cost your recipients. Ever heard the phrase "standard text messaging rates apply"?
Before you jump in, ask yourself if you're getting all the results you can with Twitter, which is similar but easier to use and measure. It's also free.
There are more ways to reach your audience today. We have more inboxes than ever before and mobile marketing is connected to most of them. Of the seven inboxes shown in Figure 1, six of them could be in your customer's pocket! Stay open to new ideas, consider your audience, and keep one eye on the small screen.
This timeline shows how the number and types of inboxes have grown over time. It also shows the approximate dates for mass adoption.

Various rooms on the ground floor are used for a language school, NGOs or meeting spaces, the salon, which also has a bar space has witnessed many debates, performances of all kinds, fashion shows, screenings and parties over the years.
"An art space is not a rigid program," Zico underlines. "It is a space that always has room, that can receive projects, new projects, contemporary works, has all the equipment to allow for that. It operates on a small scale, there are always gaps, so that it can pull together an exhibition in one month. It caters for foreign artists who want to meet local artists, it can for jam sessions, or host musicians who want to perform or Lebanese from outside who want to come here, working with a local group – all of that an art space should be able to arrange and we can arrange that."
"Zico House also helps other festivals by providing equipment. We have worked with other festivals, managed other festivals, collaborated with the Danish and Swiss Embassy, did an array of projects, served as a once-off production house for a web series, location for films, etc".
Initially, Zico didn't have big projects in mind but merely wanted to open his house to allow artists to rehearse or use it for projects. However, four years down the line, Zico House was working like an institution. "We started with a programming, which was a bit more formal but still had an open doors approach. We were experimenting, cultural management wasn't something anybody knew much about, being a curator, we were not sure about what it entailed… We had links with others undertaking similar efforts, in the region, and within Lebanon. We were one team, and then it spread out like rhizomes. Lamia Joreige, Ashkal Alwan through Christine Thomé, Ghassan Masri – all were part of that initial drive," Zico points out.
For two decades, Zico House has been an incubator for ideas and activism, bringing civil, cultural, environmental, human rights, leftist organisations. Zico readily admits that once they started experimenting, some ideas and projects were met with success, some flopped. Among the success were street festivals, and many projects that later morphed into reputed entities.
Zico House has four rooms that are rented out. They are mostly taken up by (foreign) artists staying in Beirut, wanting to immerse themselves in the local art scene.

They say that behind every good athlete there is a good coach.
Coaching is integral to every athlete's performance, from beginner to elite level – and archery is no different. Since archery requires technical, physical and mental skills, coaches come from a wide variety of backgrounds and specialise in many different aspects of the sport.
World Archery offers a coaching accreditation system and trains coach trainers around the world.
Many national federations also manage their own coach accreditation systems offering information on standardised archery coaching techniques.
Member associations implement coaching certification programmes nationally, based on their respective needs and situations.
World Archery does run instructor training and coach trainer courses, and provide coach certification frameworks, particularly for member associations with no established coach accreditation programme.

Mouse Hsp25, a small heat shock protein. The role of its C-terminal extension in oligomerization and chaperone action
Robyn A. Lindner, John A. Carver, Monika Ehrnsperger, Johannes Buchner, Gennaro Esposito, Joachim Behlke, Gudrun Lutsch, Alexey Kotlyarov, Matthias Gaestel
Under conditions of cellular stress, small heat shock proteins (sHsps), e.g. Hsp25, stabilize unfolding proteins and prevent their precipitation from solution. 1H NMR spectroscopy has shown that mammalian sHsps possess short, polar anti highly flexible C-terminal extensions. A mutant of mouse Hsp25 without this extension has been constructed. CD spectroscopy reveals some differences in secondary and tertiary structure between this mutant and the wild-type protein but analytical ultracentrifugation and electron microscopy show that the proteins have very similar oligomeric masses and quaternary structures. The mutant shows chaperone ability comparable to that of wild- type Hsp25 in a thermal aggregation assay using citrate synthase, but does not stabilize α-lactalbumin against precipitation following reduction with dithiothreitol. The accessible hydrophobic surface of the mutant protein is less than that of the wild-type protein and the mutant is also less stable at elevated temperature. 1H NMR spectroscopy reveals that deletion of the C- terminal extension of Hsp25 leads to induction of extra C-terminal flexibility in the molecule. Monitoring complex formation between Hsp25 and dithiothreitol-reduced α-lactalbumin by 1H NMR spectroscopy indicates that the C-terminal extension of Hsp25 retains its flexibility during this interaction. Overall, these data suggest that a highly flexible C-terminal extension in mammalian sHsps is required for full chaperone activity.

In light of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT), I thought it fitting to pay tribute to one of the best and more obscure offshoots of those comic book turtles: the TMNT role-playing game.
When you mention Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, most people immediately think of the clownish children's cartoon, with its infectious theme song and villainous buffoons. The original incarnation of the TMNT franchise was a dark, gritty, violent black-and-white comic book, and that version of the turtles was the inspiration for the classic Palladium Books RPG Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Other Strangeness.
Full of illustrations by Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird, the original creators of the TMNT, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Other Strangeness was much more than a slapdash licensed RPG, like so many spin-offs from other intellectual properties. Instead, Palladium Books created a RPG system for creating a multitude of mutant animals (samurai aardvark? raccoon assassin? no problem), from a variety of backgrounds.
Players could take the role of any kind of mutant animal they could imagine. From zoo animals like tigers or baboons, to pets like parakeets or housecats, TMNT & Other Strangeness allowed players to slip into the role of a ninja, super-spy, assassin, other any of a multitude of backgrounds, all wrapped up in the form of a mutant animal.
The setting was gritty and urban, just like the original comic books. Palladium Books created not just a extension of the TMNT's adventures, but a whole world of mutant animals and villainous scientists, evil psychics and ninja assassins.
While most people just remember 'heroes in a half-shell', when I think of TMNT, I will always remember TMNT & Other Strangeness.

Q: what is the source of the random user ID's (userxxxx)? They all seem to have exactly 1 point associated to their accounts.
For example: https://stackoverflow.com/users/536443/user536443

They ask only a single question, never seem to accept an answer.
I suppose these are throwaways; are they being auto-generated by something or someone?

A: When the users do not choose a nickname (the Display Name which appears in edit profile page), their nickname will default to userxxxxxx where xxxxxx is the successive unique user ID number as is been assigned in the users table of the database.
As to the reputation, everyone get 1 rep to start with. It will stick to 1 rep if they do not ever accept answers or ever get upvoted. They can be downvoted, but the rep won't go lower than 1.

A: I'm not really sure what you're asking, but they're probably just users looking for the solution to a single problem who don't realize they can ask without registering. They make an account, ask their question, get an answer, and leave immediately and forever

Rashida Jones is a Actor, Scriptwriter, Producer and Thanks American born on 25 february 1976 at Los Angeles (USA)
Birth name Rashida Leah Jones
Birth 25 february 1976 (44 years) at Los Angeles (USA)
Rashida Leah Jones (born February 25, 1976) is an American actress, comic book author, film producer, and screenwriter. She is known for playing Ann Perkins on NBC's comedy Parks and Recreation, Louisa Fenn on Fox's Boston Public, and Karen Filippelli on The Office. She has had film roles in Our Idiot Brother, The Social Network, The Muppets, I Love You, Man, and Celeste and Jesse Forever (for which she wrote the screenplay). She is also the screenwriter, along with writing partner Will McCormack, to the upcoming Pixar film Toy Story 4.
Jones was in a relationship with actor Tobey Maguire, ending in 2000 after two and a half years. She became engaged to music producer Mark Ronson in February 2003. He proposed on her 27th birthday, using a custom-made crossword puzzle spelling out "Will you marry me?" Their relationship ended approximately one year later. In 2009, she was dating Jon Favreau, who had become the Director of Speechwriting for President Barack Obama.
Though raised Jewish, Jones began practicing Hinduism in her early teens with her mother after the two visited an ashram in India. As an adult, she practices Judaism. She told a reporter:
In this day and age, you can choose how you practice and what is your relationship with God. I feel pretty strongly about my connection, definitely through the Jewish traditions and the things that I learned dating the guy that I dated. My boyfriends tend to be Jewish and also be practicing... I don't see it as a necessity, but there's something about it that I connect with for whatever reason.
On her multi-racial identity, she has remarked "I have gone through periods where I only feel black or Jewish. Now I have a good balance."

The emotions live in Headquarters, Riley's conscious mind, where they influence Riley's actions and memories via a control console. Her new memories are housed in colored orbs, which are sent into storage at the end of every waking period. The most important or "core" memories are housed in a hub in Headquarters and power five "islands", each of which reflects a different aspect of Riley's personality. Joy acts as the dominant emotion to keep Riley in a happy state, but she and the others do not understand Sadness's purpose, other than making Riley cry.

Roles Julia
Former teen salsa champion Bruce Garrett (Nick Frost) is now an engineer. Bruce gave up dancing after he was brutally bullied by older boys. When he finds out that his new boss, Julia, (Rashida Jones) is passionate about salsa dancing, he decides that the only way he can win her over is by re-mastering the art of dance. He seeks out his old teacher Ron (Ian McShane), who forces him to confront the reasons he quit dancing in the first place. He struggles with low self-esteem, as well as a bullying coworker and rival, Drew (Chris O'Dowd), who constantly dominates the attention of their boss Julia who they're both interested in seducing. With the help of his salsa classmates, teacher, and his former dancing partner, his sister Sam (Olivia Colman), Bruce gets up the courage to relearn all his 'rusty' dance steps and to recapture his lost "corazón" (heart), not only for the dance but for his life. When ready, his friends convince him to enter the local nightclub's salsa dance competition, with the idea that he'll invite Julia to be his dance partner. But when he goes round to hers to ask her out to the dance, he is tricked into believing that he's interrupting an intimate evening she's spending with Drew, so leaves before asking, disillusioned. Julia, meanwhile, discovers what Drew is up to and outright rejects his advances, then kicks him out whilst threatening his position at work. Julia follows Bruce to the nightclub, where he's been doing quite well with his old partner (his sister) and an old routine, and is about to enter the final heat/round of the competition. When he notices Julia had followed him to the club, he's elated and finally plucks up the courage to ask her to dance. They dance the last round of the competition, where Bruce goes on to lose the competition, but regains his true self and finally wins the girl.

A campaign featuring some of Sydney's best-known actors and leading theatre producers has been launched to save Sydney's historic Theatre Royal.
A deal done nearly 40 years ago to ensure the theatre had a permanent home is being ignored by the current owners. The Theatre Royal has operated from its current site since 1875.
Live Performance Australia's President, Andrew Kay AM, said the live theatre industry isn't going to sit idly by while over a century of history is destroyed so a property developer can make a few extra dollars.
In 1972, faced with demolition by the developer of the MLC Centre, Sydneysiders rallied to save the Theatre, with thousands attending protest meetings at Sydney's Town Hall. Sydney's leading actors, politicians, combined with trade unions to force the developer to change their plans.
Faced with a huge backlash from Sydneysiders, the development company Lend Lease agreed to change their designs for the future MLC Centre to include a new purpose built 1200 seat theatre to replace the old Theatre Royal. In exchange for saving the theatre, Lend Lease was given up to 8000 square metres of extra commercial office space or close to six additional floors as compensation. The value of this 'deal' provides to the owners and shareholders an additional $9-11 million of commercial office rent per year or when capitalised adds over $200m to the building's value.
However, the new owners DEXUS/GPT are now reneging on this deal and the theatre has been closed for over two years.
"We are turning away shows every month due to a lack of suitable venues in Sydney in which to show them. This building needs to be retained as a theatre contributing to the culture of Sydney, not yet another high end retail outlet," said Kay.
Media, Entertainment & Arts Alliance Chief Executive, Paul Murphy, said the shortage of theatre space in Sydney is currently costing hundreds of jobs for performers, creatives and crew every year.
An online petition calling on the owners to reopen the Theatre has been launched today.
"Unless someone intervenes, Sydney is about to sacrifice yet another great venue to the altar of developer greed," Andrew Kay AM, LPA President said.


The quote above makes you think, doesn't it? At the very least, you might consider the validity of such an assertion. Even if it's for a fleeting moment. Who knows, there could be some surprises in store for you. The person you least suspect may have had the greatest impact on your life. Or will.
For me, I've spent more than a minute on Ms. Harefa's philosophical observation. I've thought about those people who fill my life now, as well as others with whom I've crossed paths.
In doing this mental exercise, I focus on the positives. Because that makes me truly see and understand everyone in my life better. And I feel rewarded for really knowing them.
Even when you're different . . .
. . . You can learn from one another.
Carole: So long ago I was at my wit's end with a teen-aged daughter who struggled in school. A young inquisitive mind that I sadly was about to give up on because she was not me. Meaning she colored outside the lines; I, on the other hand, at her age, tended to do what was expected. Her "renegade behavior" turned out to be — in her life — a very good thing. But, at that critical time, the teacher in you calmed and reassured me. And you turned me around, suggesting — more or less — that square pegs don't fit round holes. It turned out she learns differently. By recognizing that, I was better able to help and nurture her. Overall, it was a lesson in understanding.
Barbara: I was behind you in line at the grocery store, I think. And I was watching you laugh and cut-up with the cashier, a person unknown to you. Someone you'd probably never encounter again. I enjoyed the light-hearted banter between the two of you. You lifted his spirits, I could tell. And as he gave you your receipt, your change or whatever it was, you looked him straight in the eye to bid him goodbye. I admired how you reached out to someone unknown and connected. And so from that day forward, I've always tried to mimic you. Smiles swapped between two people are the best gift of the day. Overall, it was a reminder that we all are human and deserving. No one is better.
Denise: I hurt, and you cry. You have this uncanny way of getting right to the heart of a matter. You ask questions and you listen. And then you come back to inquire again how it's all going. You aren't afraid to tackle or share the most personal aspects life dishes up. You are up close and meaningful. I cannot just recount one story, because when it's personal, they all seem important. You have reminded me continuously that the best friendships are not meant to be kept at arm's length. Sometimes you have to get in the trenches with them.
Why certain people are in my life has caught my attention. I am entertained, because they remain such a staple to my being. Even though we are so different.
Yes, I think we do invite people into our lives for a reason. The interesting part is paying attention to how they contribute to you as a person.
Others important to me, since this has become a love letter of sorts to my peeps . . . .
Pamela has inadvertently taught me some things about accountability. Kathy: the importance of humility. Kate — patience and understanding. Kel: perseverance. Jimmy: independence. Teresa: living without fear of failure. Kitty: generosity. Helen: family ties. Bryan: living the moment. The list could continue.
I have also channeled positive lessons from those in my life who were less than kind, or impatient, or insensitive, or just unknowing. I think there is always a possible positive to a negative. It's always how you choose to look at things. For the most part anyway.
So, the question of the day . . . who has impacted you the most and in what way? Can you find the positives in all the people you either know or love?
Previous Tis Apple Season. And the Time for a Healthier Pie.
Next What's for Lunch: My Big Stuffed Tomato!
As my mama always said, " it takes being a friend to have a friend." Nothing quite as fulfilling and nurturing as a good girlfriend.
Susan, what a moving piece. thank you for being a dear friend.
Susan, what a beautiful, moving post. Thank you for being a dear friend.
You are a lucky person to have so many friends who truly care for you. I think each of us could write a similar column, acknowledging the unconditional loyalty and love that you bring to us.

Auschwitz


On March 7, 2019, the Department of Labor ("DOL") announced the long-awaited proposed rule containing the new salary threshold for employees to be exempt under the Fair Labor Standards Act. The new proposal would update the salary threshold from the current $455 per week (or $23,660 annually) to $679 per week (or $35,308 annually).
The proposed rule would make it such that employees making under $35,308 would be entitled to overtime pay (time and a half) if they work more than 40 hours per week. The job duties tests for the white collar exemptions would not change under the proposed rule.
Although this is a substantial jump from the current salary threshold, it is significantly lower than the Obama administration's proposal of $913 per week (or $47,476 annually). While the Obama administration's proposal would have impacted an estimated 4.2 million employees, it was blocked by a federal court in 2016. It is estimated that the new salary threshold would impact over 1 million employees. Of course, this will affect any employer who currently classifies an employee as exempt, but compensates the employee below the new threshold.
Along with the new proposed rule, the DOL is asking for public comment on whether the salary threshold should be updated—in the DOL's discretion—every four years. Any such periodic update would require notice to the public and a time for public comment. Another change would be the salary level for the Highly Compensated Employee ("HCE") exemption. The new rule would significantly increase the salary level for HCEs from the current $100,000 to $147,414.
The proposed rule is expected to be published in the Federal Register in the coming weeks. At that point, there will be a 60-day public comment period. Although many experts expect that the new rule will be the subject of multiple lawsuits, the DOL expects the final rule to go into effect in January 2020.

He started showing interest in classical music at the age of four and began studying the tuba at the age of nine. Mr. Guimaraes is presently a Doctoral of Musical Arts student at the University of Georgia's Hugh Hodgson School of Music where he serves as the tubist for the Bulldog Brass Society Quintet.

Preceding his studies at Yale, Joseph earned his Bachelor's of Music degree in tuba performance from the Lynn University Conservatory of Music in Boca Raton, Florida, and before that, he studied Marine Biology at Florida Atlantic University.
Joseph is currently a student of UGA tuba Professor David Zerkel and works closely with trumpet Professor Philip Smith. While at Yale, he studied with Philadelphia Orchestra tubist, Carol Jantsch, and during his undergraduate studies, he was a student of Empire Brass Quintet tubist and educator Kenneth Amis. Aside from his primary teachers, Joseph also studied extensively with former Florida Atlantic University tuba Professor Sean Murray and former Florida Philharmonic tubist Jay Bertolet.
Mr. Guimaraes is a 2017 Paul and Daisy Soros Fellow. The fellowship committee awarded Joseph this prestigious award as one of thirty inductees from a pool of nearly eighteen hundred applicants. As part of this lifetime award, he was a recipient of an educational and professional development stipend.
Joseph is an active chamber musician whose ensembles have concertized throughout the United States, Canada, and Japan. His groups have performed in chamber master classes for members of the Saint Louis Brass Quintet, Empire Brass Quintet, Dallas Brass Quintet, Center City Brass Quintet, Canadian Brass Quintet, and Orpheus Chamber Orchestra among others.

Joseph marched with The Cadets Drum and Bugle Corps in 2006, 2008, 2010, and with the Spirit from Jacksonville State University Drum and Bugle Corps in 2005.
During his time at Yale, he served as the teaching assistant to Yale director of bands Thomas Duffy.
