Ends season with whimper
Doyle played 37 of the Colts' 56 offensive snaps (66 percent) and hauled in one of four targets for a six-yard gain in the team's 38-20 loss to the Jaguars in Week 17.
Analysis: After being rewarded with a three-year, $21.3 million contract extension in early December, Doyle didn't exactly reward the Colts for their investment. Over his three games after landing the extension, Doyle contributed just five receptions for 44 yards across 13 targets. The new deal and general manager Chris Ballard's recent acknowledgement that Eric Ebron (ankle) wouldn't be re-signed nonetheless clears the way for Doyle to enter 2020 as the clear top option on the depth chart at tight end.…read more

Held to 17 yards in win
Doyle caught two of four passes for 17 yards during Sunday's 38-6 win over the Panthers.
Analysis: Doyle's 17 yards were a season low. The veteran tight end has had a ho-hum season, managing just four games with at least 30 receiving yards. The Colts' pass offense has been on the decline over the past month and a half, having been held under 200 yards in four of the last six games. The season ends next Sunday against Jacksonville's middle-of-the-pack pass defense, but the Colts and Doyle have done little to inspire confidence that they'll be able to do much to capitalize on the matchup.
Catches two passes
Doyle caught two of five targets for 21 yards in Monday night's 34-7 loss to the Saints.
Analysis: Doyle ranked third on the Colts in targets, but nobody on Indy's offense could produce much against a stingy Saints defense. The tight end has now caught just two passes in back-to-back games following his best outing of the season in Week 13.
Published: Mon, Dec 16 at 8:46pm by Rotowire.com
Quiet in Tampa
Doyle caught two of six targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 38-35 loss to Tampa Bay.
Analysis: Fresh off signing a three-year extension, Doyle delivered a dud against a Buccaneers defense that has been quite generous to tight ends this season. He has three touchdowns in his last five games, but he's only topped 50 yards twice this season, making him tough to trust against the Saints in Week 15.
Lands three-year extension
Doyle signed a three-year contract extension with the Colts on Friday.
Analysis: The team didn't officially announce the financial terms of Doyle's new deal, but Ian Rapoport of NFL Network relays that the tight end is due more than $21 million in new money, with undisclosed incentives potentially pushing the value of the contract up to $24 million. With Doyle locked up through the 2022 season, the Colts will most likely move on from fellow tight end Eric Ebron (ankle), who is set to become a free agent this spring. Doyle has bounced back from an injury-shortened 2018…read more

Hauls in touchdown
Doyle caught six of his 11 targets for 73 yards and a touchdown in the team's Week 13 loss to the Titans.
Analysis: Doyle benefitted from the lack of receiving options in the Colts' passing attack, leading the team in targets. He didn't work down the field much -- he did score on a 21-yard touchdown pass deep down the left sideline on a misdirection pass -- but proved to be a reliable target for Jacoby Brissett throughout the contest. He'll have a positive matchup against the Buccaneers in Week 14, though it remains to be seen whether T.Y. Hilton (calf), Parris Campbell (hand) or Chester Rogers (knee) will…read more
Trio of receptions in Week 12 loss
Doyle hauled in three of four targets for 28 yards in the Colts' 20-17 loss to the Texans on Thursday.
Analysis: Doyle tied with multiple teammates for second in receptions on the night, although it led to his seventh sub-30-yard tally of the season. The veteran has no fewer than three grabs in eight of his last nine contests, but his upside is generally capped unless he finds the end zone, which he's done on three occasions overall this season. Doyle will look for better production against the Titans in a Week 13 divisional matchup a week from Sunday.
No targets Sunday
Doyle didn't have a reception or target in Sunday's win over Jacksonville.
Analysis: Doyle was bothered by a shoulder issue during practice last week but still played on 42 of the offense's 66 snaps. He went out for a pass on 16 snaps, so his lack of receptions wasn't due to any health issues. He should be be back in the mix for receptions Thursday at Houston.
Published: Mon, Nov 18 at 12:39pm by Rotowire.com
Cleared to play this week
Doyle (shoulder) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Jaguars after practicing fully Friday.
Analysis: With both T.Y. Hilton (calf) and Parris Campbell (hand) still out and Devin Funchess (collarbone) not ready to come off injured reserve, Doyle and fellow tight end Eric Ebron should log a solid share of snaps/targets in Week 11. In last week's loss to the Dolphins, Ebron hauled in five of his 12 targets for 56 yards, while Doyle caught three of his four targets for 44 yards and a score. This Sunday, the duo will be catching passes from Jacoby Brissett, who's back from a one-game absence caused…read more
Published: Fri, Nov 15 at 12:35pm by Rotowire.com
Returns to limited practice
Doyle (shoulder) was listed as a limited practice participant Thursday.
Analysis: Doyle sat out Wednesday's practice, so his return to a limited session Thursday has him trending toward being available for Sunday's game against the Jaguars. We'll revisit the tight end's status Friday to see if he is listed as questionable for the contest or heads into the weekend minus an injury designation.
Back at practice
Doyle (shoulder) returned to practice Thursday, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports.
Analysis: We'll circle back on Doyle's status later Thursday to see if he is listed as a limited or full participant, but his return to the field after sitting out Wednesday's session bodes well for the tight end's availability for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
Published: Thu, Nov 14 at 10:57am by Rotowire.com
Misses practice Wednesday
Doyle didn't practice Wednesday due to a shoulder injury.
Analysis: Meanwhile, Mo Alie-Cox (hip) also missed the session, leaving Eric Ebron as the only fully healthy tight end on the Colts' 53-man roster. Doyle's status will be revisited again Thursday, by which time it should become more clear whether his absence Wednesday was maintenance-related or the result of an issue that could threaten his availability for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
Published: Wed, Nov 13 at 1:09pm by Rotowire.com
Another score
Doyle converted three of his four targets into receptions for 44 yards and a touchdown in the team's Week 10 loss to the Dolphins.
Analysis: Doyle served as one of Brian Hoyer's primary dump-off options, catching all of his passes within close proximity to the line of scrimmage. However, he excelled after the catch to turn in long receptions of 23 and 20 yards. His most productive moment came early in the fourth quarter when he hauled in a one-yard touchdown to put the Colts ahead 12-10. While he won't be targeted deep down the field, Doyle has secured a role in the Colts' offense and now has at least four targets in each of his…read more
Salvages performance with touchdown
Doyle tallied three receptions on four targets for 22 yards and a touchdown in Week 9 against the Steelers.
Analysis: Heading into Week 9, there was optimism that Doyle would see an increased role in the Colts' offense with T.Y. Hilton (calf) sidelined. However, that didn't come to fruition, as he received only four targets -- fewer than his marks in both Week 7 and 8. His performance was salvaged only by an 11-yard touchdown early in the second quarter, and he has now surpassed five targets in a game only once this season. Even in the absence of Hilton, that doesn't appear likely to change.
Role on offense could grow
Doyle could see an enhanced role in the Colts' passing game Sunday against the Steelers with T.Y. Hilton (calf) ruled out for the contest and at risk of missing multiple weeks, Mike Wells of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Doyle paced the Colts with 61 receiving yards in the Week 8 win over Denver, but his fantasy upside has generally been capped throughout the season while he's split work at tight end with Eric Ebron. There could be room for both tight ends to see the field more frequently together beginning in Week 9, as the athletic Ebron's ability to slot out wide could help the Colts compensate for a receiver room otherwise lacking in high-impact talent beyond Hilton. Along with the likes of Ebron and Doyle,…read more
Published: Fri, Nov 1 at 2:52pm by Rotowire.com
Leads team in receiving
Doyle caught four of five passes for 61 yards during Sunday's 15-13 win over Denver. He fumbled once, but it was recovered by the offense.
Analysis: In what was a defensive slugfest, Doyle ended up being a difference maker, leading the Colts with 61 receiving yards, his highest total of the season. Doyle has been a solid underneath contributor for Indy with at least three catches in five consecutive games, but his 10.0 yards per catch and one touchdown on the season probably make him less valuable for fantasy purposes than he is for his team. Next up is a middle-of-the-road Steelers pass defense.
Cleared to play Sunday
Doyle (groin) is active for Sunday's game against the Broncos.
Analysis: Doyle was added to the injury report and took a questionable tag into the matchup with Denver after the groin issue limited his participation in Friday's practice. With the Colts giving him the green light to play two days later, Doyle should be in store for a relatively normal snap count. Through six games, Doyle has hauled in 17 of 25 targets for 149 yards and a touchdown.
Published: Sun, Oct 27 at 8:37am by Rotowire.com
Added to injury report
Doyle is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Broncos after being limited by a groin injury at Friday's practice, Andrew Walker of the Colts' official site reports.
Analysis: Doyle's late-week addition to the Colts' injury report suggests that his status will need to be monitored closely in advance of Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. If he's limited or out this weekend, Eric Ebron would be in line for added snaps/targets, with Mo Alie-Cox also in the team's tight end mix.
Published: Fri, Oct 25 at 1:16pm by Rotowire.com
Catches three passes
Doyle caught three of five targets for 21 yards in Sunday's win over the Texans.
Analysis: The 29-year-old has at least three receptions in each of the last four games, but his production has been limited with only 7.7 yards per reception. Doyle is playing about 70 percent of offensive snaps this season to lead the team's tight ends, but Eric Ebron is posting slightly better production through six games.
Published: Tue, Oct 22 at 2:26pm by Rotowire.com
Grabs three passes
Doyle caught all three of his targets for 19 total yards during Sunday's 19-13 win over the Chiefs.
Analysis: The Colts' pass targets took a back seat to the running game Sunday as Indy sought to control the pace of play and keep the Chiefs' offense off the field. Doyle's numbers were minimally affected, which tells you a lot about how the season has gone for the seventh-year tight end. He has reached 25 yards receiving just once this season, but the path of least resistance in Week 7, Indianapolis' first game off the bye, may be through the air: The Texans feature a solid run defense but leaky pass…read more

Four receptions Sunday
Doyle had four receptions for 22 yards on eight targets in Sunday's loss to Oakland.
Analysis: Doyle had a season high in targets and snaps (56), but didn't have an overly productive day. It looks like he could get more looks if T.Y. Hilton (quadriceps) remains out, but he'll need better quality targets to warrant a spot in most fantasy lineups.
Ices Week 3 win
Doyle secured all four of his targets for 46 yards in the Colts' 27-24 win over the Falcons on Sunday.
Analysis: The veteran tight end made good use of his modest target total and iced the game for the Colts with an 11-yard reception on third down in Falcons' territory and Atlanta out of timeouts. Doyle has seen his targets climb in each game thus far, but as Sunday's tally shows, that actually hasn't amounted to very hefty volume. Doyle will look to up his involvement yet again in a Week 4 matchup against the Raiders.
Just two receptions Sunday
Doyle had two receptions for 21 yards on three targets in Sunday's win over Tennessee.
Analysis: Doyle again played more snaps (49) on offense than Eric Ebron (33) and went out for more passes, but Ebron had more targets (four) and a touchdown reception. Unless the Indy passing offense becomes more prolific under Jacoby Brissett, Doyle isn't going to get enough targets to be an impact tight end in most formats.
Published: Mon, Sep 16 at 12:00pm by Rotowire.com
Just one reception Sunday
Doyle had one reception for 20 yards on two targets in Sunday's loss to the Chargers.
Analysis: Doyle played 43 snaps on offense compared to Eric Ebron's 25 snaps, but Ebron had three targets (one reception for eight yards) including not being able to pull in a catch in the end zone. It looks like neither tight end will be targeted enough in the passing game for viable fantasy value in most leagues, but it looks like Doyle will repeat last year's pattern of getting more snaps than Ebron if fewer quality targets.
Published: Mon, Sep 9 at 11:21am by Rotowire.com
Participates in practice
Doyle (oblique) participated in practice Saturday, Zak Keefer of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Doyle didn't play in Thursday's preseason contest against the Bills with what was described as a minor oblique issue. That injury appears to have dissipated, opening the door for the veteran tight end to return to the practice field.
Published: Sat, Aug 10 at 7:41am by Rotowire.com
Won't play Thursday
Doyle (oblique) won't play in Thursday's preseason opener against the Bills.
Analysis: Doyle is dealing with a minor oblique injury, so he'll sit this one out, as will fellow tight ends Eric Ebron and Ross Travis (hamstring). Doyle's next chance to suit up will arrive Aug. 17 against the Browns.
Oblique issue
Doyle is contending with a minor oblique injury, Zak Keefer of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Doyle continues to move past the hip and kidney issues he dealt with last season, but his latest injury is not viewed as a major concern, and he should be back in action before long. Once healthy, Doyle will continue to compete for tight end looks with Eric Ebron.
Published: Thu, Aug 1 at 8:48am by Rotowire.com
Gets full-team reps
Doyle (hip/kidney) took part in 11-on-11 drills Thursday, Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Analysis: It's a good sign at the beginning of training camp, though Doyle may be limited or absent once the team holds practices with pads and hitting. He's still working his way back to full strength after he lost 25 pounds in the process of recovering from kidney and hip surgeries. Fellow tight end Eric Ebron (groin) doesn't seem to have any limitations.

Easing into training camp
Doyle (hip/kidney) will be eased into practice early in training camp, Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Analysis: Doyle reportedly made a full recovery from his surgeries, but he lost approximately 25 pounds in the process and may still need more time to regain his old physique. He ran routes at full speed during June minicamp, putting him on the right track for a Week 1 appearance. Fellow tight end Eric Ebron (groin) wasn't mentioned on the list of players that will be eased into practice at training camp.

Regaining weight slowly
Doyle (hip) is still in the process of regaining weight and isn't ready to specify any timeline for his return to practice, George Bremer of The Herald Bulletin reports.
Analysis: Doyle estimates that he lost 25 pounds after having kidney surgery in November and hip surgery during the offseason. His body has healed from both procedures, but he needs more time to build up strength and body mass before the Colts clear him for contact work in practice. The 29-year-old tight end was limited to individual drills during the offseason program, including full-speed route running at June minicamp. Despite the clear signs of progress, he may be limited or even unavailable when the…read more

Analysis: Doyle had surgery to repair a lacerated kidney in November and then had a procedure on his hip during the offseason. He wasn't able to practice with teammates this spring, but Colts general manager Chris Ballard said the tight end could receive medical clearance to practice by mid-June. Even if the optimistic timeline doesn't come to fruition, Doyle appears on track to participate at the outset of training camp.

Resumes cutting
Doyle (hip) has introduced cutting and "position-specific movements" into his rehab process, Mike Chappell of FOX 59 Indianapolis reports.
Analysis: General manager Chris Ballard said Doyle may receive medical clearance as soon as mid-June and should be ready for the start of training camp. The 29-year-old tight end lost 20 pounds in the early stages of his recovery from a lacerated kidney and hip surgery, but he's regained most of the weight over the past couple months. Doyle peaked at 80 catches in 2017, averaging 60.6 snaps per game on a team with no Andrew Luck and little in the way of receiving options behind Doyle and T.Y. Hilton.…read more

Still on track for camp
Doyle (hip) remains on track for the start of training camp, Andrew Walker of Colts.com reports.
Analysis: Although he doesn't have much shot at participating in the offseason program, Doyle at least seems to have avoided setbacks while rehabbing from November surgery to address a lacerated kidney and subsequent offseason surgery for a hip injury. Even if he comes back at full strength, his everydown role from 2017 and early 2018 may be gone after fellow tight end Eric Ebron exploded for 14 touchdowns last season. The Colts hope to find enough targets to keep both players happy, but it might get…read more

Coach expects training camp return
Head coach Frank Reich said Doyle (hip) is expected to return to form in time for training camp, Zak Keefer of the Indianapolis Star reports. "I feel good about it," Reich said.
Analysis: Doyle missed five games with a hip injury early last season and then suffered a lacerated kidney four games after his return, making a grand total of six appearances in 2018. He underwent surgery this offseason to alleviate the lingering pain in his hip, and it seems he's been setback-free in his recovery considering the expectation has always been that Doyle will return for training camp, as the tight end stated in February. Doyle is entering his age-29 season as well as the final year of his…read more

Aiming for training camp
Doyle (kidney) had offseason hip surgery and hopes to be ready for training camp, Mike Chappell of Fox 59 News Indianapolis reports.
Analysis: Doyle missed Weeks 3 though 7 of the 2018 campaign with a hip injury and later landed on injured reserve when he suffered a kidney laceration in late November. The second issue may have pushed back his timeline for getting the hip addressed, but he's still hoping to get back on the practice field by late July or August. Once he's back up to speed, Doyle may find himself in a timeshare with Eric Ebron, who erupted for 750 receiving yards and 14 total touchdowns in 2018.
May need hip surgery
Doyle, who underwent season-ending surgery in November to address a lacerated kidney, admitted Sunday that he could require another procedure during the offseason to address a hip/lower-back injury, Kevin Bowen of 1070 The Fan Indianapolis reports.
Analysis: Doyle first developed the hip issue Week 2 and missed more than a month before returning to game action Week 8 in Oakland. He would go on to play four consecutive contests before being shut down for good when he required the emergency surgery for his kidney. While Doyle noted that none of his health issues are considered career-threatening, he's still continuing to recover from the November surgery and could get his hip fixed while he's on the mend. For what it's worth, Doyle said he expects to…read more

Released from hospital
Coach Frank Reich said Wednesday that Doyle (kidney) was discharged from the hospital and is "doing well" in his recovery from surgery, Andrew Walker of the Colts' official site reports.
Analysis: Though it wasn't announced that Doyle suffered an injury in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Dolphins, it was revealed a day later that he was hospitalized after requiring an emergency procedure to address a kidney issue. The Colts moved Doyle to injured reserve Monday, paving the way for Eric Ebron to act as the team's clear top target at tight end the rest of the season. Reich noted that Doyle is expected to make a "quick, speedy recovery" from the procedure, setting the 28-year-old up to enter…read more

Headed for IR after kidney surgery
Doyle will be placed on injured reserve after suffering a kidney injury during Sunday's 27-24 win over the Dolphins, Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Analysis: Doyle was admitted to the hospital following the game to undergo an immediate procedure and is expected to be released from the hospital soon, per Mike Chappell of Fox 59 News Indianapolis. Eric Ebron has proven more than capable of shouldering the pass-catching burden at tight end, but he's a clear downgrade from Doyle as a run blocker. The 2014 first-round pick drew 50 targets in five games when Doyle was sidelined between Weeks 3 and 7 with a hip injury. This doesn't sound like a medical…read more

May miss rest of season
Doyle is expected to land on injured reserve after suffering an undisclosed injury during Sunday's 27-24 win over the Dolphins, Stephen Holder of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Doyle played a season-low 38 offensive snaps (55 percent) against Miami, hauling in each of his four targets for 16 yards and a touchdown. It's unclear if Doyle's injury is related to the hip issue that caused him to miss five consecutive games in the first half of the season. Whatever the case, Eric Ebron should now have volume consistency to go with the enormous touchdown upside he has already displayed. Coach Frank Reich is expected to provide more insight into Doyle's situation later Monday.
Catches touchdown pass
Doyle caught all four of his targets for 16 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 27-24 win over the Dolphins.
Analysis: Doyle's long gain went for just seven yards, but he salvaged his day from a fantasy perspective with a 1-yard touchdown reception in the second quarter. Meanwhile, Eric Ebron enjoyed more targets and receiving yardage, adding a pair of touchdown grabs of his own. While still involved in the passing attack, Doyle has taken a back seat to Ebron and and T.Y. Hilton, who continue to thrive alongside Andrew Luck. He'll hope to make a bigger impact next Sunday against the Jaguars.
Snags four passes in win
Doyle caught all four of his targets for 43 yards during Sunday's 38-10 win over Tennessee.
Analysis: After being sidelined for an extended period with a hip injury, Doyle is still easing into things with seven catches for 79 yards in his past two games after a six-catch return in Week 8. His 14 targets since his return, as compared to Eric Ebron's six, shows how he's valued in Indianapolis, but Ebron has still arguably been more valuable with three touchdowns during that span to Doyle's one. Monitor whether Ebron continues to essentially vulture touchdowns from Doyle and the rest of Indy's…read more
Just three receptions Sunday
Doyle had three receptions for 36 yards on three targets in Sunday's win over Jacksonville.
Analysis: After Doyle had six receptions and seven targets last week in his first game back after missing five games due to a hip injury, it looked like he would dominate the targets at tight end. His performance was underwhelming and paled in comparison to Eric Ebron's three-touchdown performance. However, it's worth noting that Ebron played just 21 snaps on offense while Doyle played 48 snaps. Ebron had a similar number of targets.

Health care firm moving into top floor of Highline redevelopment
McKnight Realty Partners has a taker for the top floor of the western tower at The Highline, the company's redevelopment of the historic terminal building on the South Side, just east of Station Square.
By Tim Schooley for Pittsburgh Business Times
Pittsburgh –
In an expected move, Maxim Healthcare announced on its Facebook page that it will celebrate an open house at its new office at The Highline at the end of June.
Based in Maryland, Maxim is a national company with 215 offices throughout the country that specializes in home health care and staffing services, among others.
Izzy Rudolph, president of development and acquisitions for McKnight, said Maxim's top floor lease of the west building totals more than 30,000 square feet of space.
He said the move enables the firm to combine a few smaller suburban offices into a larger one in the city with room for expansion.
He added, "I think the character of the space is what drew them to the project" and expects the unique space at the redevelopment will appeal to the firm as it works to attract and retain new talent.
Rudolph reports that construction on the redevelopment of the parking bridge through the terminal structure into the highline urban park is expected to "start any day now," a construction project that includes building out a biergarten for Sly Fox Brewing Co.
He added that 150,000 square feet of office space in the west tower is leased to a mix of newcomers as well as extended and expanded tenants already at the complex.
A redevelopment of the 250,000-square-foot east tower is still to come.

Samsung Galaxy S9 Battery Size Revealed? Test Unit Houses 3,200mAh Battery
By Mike Luces
Looks like the successor to the Galaxy S8 will come with a bigger battery. Reuters/Kim Hong-ji
Leaks about the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S9 flagship phone are unstoppable. Just days after alleged renders of the handset emerged online, a new report is now claiming that a test unit of the highly anticipated smartphone may have just confirmed its battery size.
A report fresh from China seems to be strongly suggesting that the Galaxy S9 will have a significantly bigger battery than this year's Galaxy S8. As per the report, someone who claims to have obtained a test unit of the Galaxy S9 revealed that the Galaxy S8's successor is housing a 3,200mAh battery. The same source claimed that the new Samsung flagship handset will support Quick Charge 3.0.
While the information that the Chinese site published wasn't verified, SamMobile pointed out that this does have some bearing because the leaked dimensions of the Galaxy S9 suggest that the hardware of the phone will be thicker. A thicker body would technically be capable of accommodating a much bigger battery capacity than the Galaxy S8's.
Per usual, everything about the Galaxy S9 so far is purely speculative. Hence, Samsung fans are advised to take this new report with a grain of salt. Since Samsung is not one to confirm anything prior the launch of a new product, there's no telling which among the leaks and rumors are true.
As previously reported by IBTimes, Samsung has already addressed the CES 2018 launch rumors and said that it's very "unlikely" for the Galaxy S9 to make an appearance at the January event. Because of this many concluded that Samsung's statement was a confirmation and a hint that the new flagship phone is going to debut at MWC 2018 this coming February.
South Korean site The Bell reported last Friday that Samsung will most likely reveal the Galaxy S9 on Feb. 27, which is just a day after the kickoff of MWC 2018. It shouldn't come as a surprise if this turns out to be true, considering that Samsung has debuted several of its flagship phones at the big mobile industry gathering in Barcelona.
Over the weekend, Bloomberg also published a report saying Samsung is gearing up to announce its next flagship handset in February. The publication also stated that both the Galaxy S9 and its bigger variant, the Galaxy S9 Plus, will be similar to the current models, but with the inclusion of an upgraded camera system. The outlet has gotten this information from anonymous people familiar with the South Korea tech giant's plans.
As for the official release date of the handset, sources say the Galaxy S9 could become available for purchase in mid-March. Samsung released the Galaxy S8 in mid-April of this year. Several sources claim that Samsung wants to release the Galaxy S9 a month earlier than its predecessor just so it could compete with Apple's iPhone X for the first half of 2018.

The last time I got paid was Feb. 7.
The earliest I can expect to get paid again is March 15. Why?
Because I ended one job and I'm starting another, with a little time off in between.
I'm not saying this because I feel sorry for myself. For reasons I'll detail below, I'm doing fine.
I'm bringing it up to remind other freelancers (and fully employed folks) to get creative about meeting your needs.
What kept me calm during my visit to no-salary land? A series of frugal hacks. Spend any time on the personal finance blogosphere, and you'll see plenty of posts on the tactics I'm about to list. So they're nothing new.
1. Second income stream. Usually that means a side hustle - a second job you can do on occasion (pet-sitting) or part-time (editing, retail, bartending).
In my case, the second income came from my staff-writing position at Get Rich Slowly, which published three of my pieces in January and paid me in the second week of February.
2. Extra work. Although I'd sworn to slow down, two freelance gigs came up that I just couldn't refuse. They took relatively little time (maybe three hours total) and will bring in $550, probably by the third week in March.
3. More extra work. From time to time, I do online surveys. Last week, a survey led to being chosen for a focus group, which meant an hour a day, tops.
Piece of cake - and a $60 fee arrived a week later.
4. Still more extra work. I used to manage the apartment building in which I live, and I still do odd jobs as needed. When snow fell over several days last month, I took care of it.
The owners took $125 off my February rent. I look at that as being paid to exercise.
5. Selling stuff. Two boxing programs and two small plastic sports action figures sat in my living room for ages, waiting to be put on eBay. During my vacation, I listed all four and to my utter shock, they brought in more than $1,200.
6. Using rewards points. When I attended the Metropolitan Opera broadcast of "Gotterdammerung," I paid with a movie gift card that I got for free by using credit card points.
The same credit card got me $25 in plastic scrip to Panera, so I treated myself to fresh bread and bagels during my time off.
7. Pantry challenge. Since late January, I've bought only milk, fruit, eggs, and a few vegetables. The rest of my ingredients came from the cupboards and freezer.
8. Shopping the sales. Any ingredients I did buy were loss leaders. That's how I generally shop anyway, but I was doubly determined not to splurge on $2.99-a-pound grapes if I wasn't getting a paycheck that week.
9. Cheap fun. Long walks to do my shopping and also to exercise - free and useful/healthful. That six-hour opera movie was the equivalent of three regular films.
I printed out a free pass to a movie screening. With luck, I'll also catch a free preview of "Salmon Fishing in the Yemen" this week.
Again, none of this is new. But taken together, these tactics form a multi-layered approach to intentional living.
Sure, I have an emergency fund. But why tap it if I don't have to? I'd much rather nip and tuck my budget until the money starts coming back in.
Readers: Have you had to cut expenses due to unemployment, underemployment, or the rising costs of food and fuel? What tactics do you use for short- or long-term savings?

Jack Ingram Writes About Townes Van Zandt in New Book
I'll Be Here in the Morning Explores Van Zandt's Songwriting Legacy
by Jack Ingram 1/3/2012
Editor's note: More than 40 musicians have contributed essays to a new book, I'll Be Here in the Morning: The Songwriting Legacy of Townes Van Zandt, by Brian T. Atkinson. The following excerpt was written by Jack Ingram.
Townes was opening for Guy Clark at Rockefeller's in Houston. By the time Townes's set was over, he was just crying. He wasn't even playing music anymore. Guy had to come out and help him off the stage. It was just really sad.
That's what gets lost in translation in the mythical folklore about Townes, and especially in how much he's grown in mythical stature — the real harsh reality about alcoholism. The idea that someone as big as Townes Van Zandt gets reduced to being helped off the stage by an old friend takes some of the fun out of it. Having seen that, for me it's like the cold, hard light of day. It gets to the heart of the matter that drinking songs are about pain. That night I saw Townes was before I was playing music out, when I was young, like seventeen or nineteen.
Townes is a Christ-like figure in Texas. He's the one. I think that guys like Guy and others he ran with have lifted him up to that stature. They're still around to talk about him. For guys like me coming up, Guy Clark was probably better known around the scene. Townes was never a mainstream character in the whole Texas music scene, for my generation anyway. I heard more mainstream guys like Guy Clark and Jerry Jeff Walker and Willie Nelson always talking about Townes Van Zandt in these reverential tones. But, as they say, the music business is kind on the dead, but hard on the living. Couple that with these guys who are still alive and are legends in their own time talking about Townes in such reverential tones after his death. He's become the songwriter, the poet from Texas.
For me, Townes was one of those guys I'd always heard about but had never listened to very much. Somewhere along the line I heard Guy Clark or Jerry Jeff Walker mention his name in interviews and liner notes, and at some point I went out and got a record, his greatest hits maybe. I took a night, and put it on the headphones, but I listened to Townes Van Zandt for a long time before I got it, before I understood what everyone was talking about.
It wasn't until I was probably twenty-five years old, driving in a van after playing a gig that I got it. We were playing at the state fair in Oregon, and we had a thirty-three-hour drive to Minneapolis. I had the post-gig driving shift from 3:00 a.m. until daylight, and I put in Townes Van Zandt. It was the same kind of mind-altering moment as when I finally got Bob Dylan's stuff. Everybody's supposed to love Bob Dylan, so you get a Dylan record and you listen to an eight-minute song with all verses and somewhere you get lost. You just kind of pretend to get it, until you have a moment of clarity with that kind of music.
I was driving in Montana and put on one of Townes's records. I put it in and the sun was coming up and I was going eighty-five miles an hour, and a light bulb came on. It was like, "Okay, I get it. This is more than music, this is more than words and melody, this is the real stuff. This is as big a message as any writer can have." I don't know what it is. It isn't any single line that gets you. You just know that this guy has a connection with a deeper place. I don't put in Townes to listen to a song; I put it in to listen to him.
Did Townes have an effect on me as a songwriter? F**k yeah. I don't pretend to understand to know exactly where he's coming from, but I do understand that he opened himself up to writing. He opened himself up to being led by something else to write the music. And that's what I got from him — to open up, and to write. To let things come out and say things in a poetic way. To not be afraid to use the language that I have.
I think a lot of people don't allow themselves to write in the kind of language that Townes allowed himself to write in. He didn't try to dumb down the language that he had the ability to use. That's part of what separates him. You can tell he's a poet. He's writing in this other structure, this other kind of poetry. He's melding poetry and folk music, which creates an interesting mix.
"Pancho and Lefty," that's easy to understand. I'm sure you can look at it and find the true poetry in it, but for me that's the simplest song that he has, language-wise. If the majority of his work was as simple and easy to hum along to and understand on a surface level, I bet Townes would be a lot better known. I'm a huge fan of music and I'm very open to all kinds of it, and it took me seven years of listening to him to finally feel like, at whatever I can understand music and poetry, I can say, "Oh, my god, okay. I get it." Trying to understand it, trying to be a student of the music, it took me that long to get a grasp of what he was doing. That complexity and drinking all the time is probably what kept him from being better known during his lifetime.
I'm not a spokesperson for the evils of alcohol addiction, but I think people can have fantastic periods of inspiration doing whatever they have to do to get it. You do wonder what would happen with a guy like Townes if you'd get him in the studio with a clear mind to do more recording. What if he took himself more seriously as a recording artist? I'm sure the drinking was part of the creativity on one hand, but I'm also sure that he could have gotten over that. I don't believe for a second that a mind like his, an artist like that, needs anything to get to an artistic level that Townes had. And I think that anyone who would say that is just scared.
It's quite possible Townes was scared of success. There's nothing wrong with that. Looking at it that way, it maybe wasn't the alcohol that stunted his being more famous or well known or prolific; maybe alcohol was just a symptom of what was really behind it — being scared. I haven't had time with him on the couch, so I don't know. You can only speculate.
But guys like Townes influence the great songwriters. A guy like me is going to listen to Townes and be influenced by him. A guy like Dylan and like Townes and like Kristofferson — they permeate the fabric of what happens years and years and years from now in the songwriting culture. So, it doesn't matter if his name is remembered and well-known 1,500 years from now. It's the fact that what he did is going to be a part of what happens later on. Townes Van Zandt has had a major influence on every songwriter that has picked up a guitar in Texas or Nashville for the last thirty years.
We all want to be remembered by name, but imagine if you could get past that and be remembered instead by deed. Maybe Townes was selfless about that, and that's why he didn't achieve the kind of success that other people look to as watermarks for that. Maybe he really, truly didn't care about that, and maybe that also goes into why he could write the way he did, why he wrote songs that people had to listen to hard to understand. He was writing on another plane. What if we could get over wanting to write a hit, and songwriters could write a song, as Townes said, for the sake of it, if they didn't give a shit about somebody knowing their name?
I see guys today that are great songwriters, but I don't see anyone else writing like Townes. Hayes Carll comes close, and he will get closer. I do think of Hayes as a guy who understands songwriting, understands where you should try to get to write about real, honest emotions. At least in my head, I didn't feel the kind of emotion Townes and Guy and the real songwriters — Randy Newman, Tom Waits, Kristofferson, Dylan — write about until I was turning thirty.
It's hard for me to say blanket statements about Townes. I have mixed emotions about him, his songwriting and his legacy. I know what his legacy is for me, and I think he's influenced the American culture. Think of bands like Wilco or Son Volt or guys like [Bright Eyes'] Conor Oberst, people who are songwriters' songwriters, they'll never mention Townes's name, but you know they've been influenced by him.
I think his legacy as a songwriter will be much bigger than anything I could ever talk about. On a human approach, I think it's sad that he died at such a young age, and basically by his own doing. I think that's a real tragedy. I don't know how you get his mythical status as a songwriter separated from his mythical status of this bullshit that alcoholism fueled his fire. I don't know how you separate those two with a broad stroke so people remember his legacy as this one thing. It's confusing for me, but he's one of the true ones. He's one that will last.

Q: How to get inertia value for each k-means cluster using scikit-learn? I'm using scikit learn for clustering (k-means). When I run the code with the verbose option, it prints the inertia for each iteration.
Once the algorithm finishes, I would like to get the inertia for each formed cluster (k inertia values). How can I achieve that?

A: I manage to get that information using fit_transform method and them getting the distance between each sample and its cluster.
model = cluster.MiniBatchKMeans(n_clusters=n)
distances = model.fit_transform(trainSamples)
variance = 0
i = 0
for label in model.labels_:
    variance = variance + distances[i][label]
    i = i + 1

PSA to build assembly plant in Namibia
Staff Writer | March 13, 2018
PSA announced a joint venture agreement with Namibia Development Corporation to start up an assembly plant in the South African country to sell more cars in the region.
"This investment in Namibia is part of the long term strategy of Groupe PSA to increase its sales in Africa and the Middle East, consistent with our target to sell one million vehicles by 2025 (in these regions)," said Jean-Christophe Quemard, executive vice president for Middle East and Africa Region at PSA, in a press release.
Under the deal, the French group would start to produce OPEL Grandland X and Peugeot 3008 in the second half of 2018 at the assembly plant in Walvis Bay, a western port city in Namibia. "Other products will follow to meet customer demand," he said.
PSA also targeted a volume of 5,000 units by 2020 to meet market demand of the South African Countries Union which includes South Africa, Namibia, Bostwana, Lesotho and Swaziland.
"This agreement is part of the strategic profitable growth plan ... aiming to satisfy customer expectations in all the regions in which the group operates," the automaker said. ■

Principles concerning the diversity of the Board of Directors and Supervisory Board
The Board of Directors may decide to set up committees to handle duties designated by the Board. The Board of Directors approves the rules of procedure for the committees.
The Board of Directors has one committee, the Nomination and Remuneration Committee. The Board of Directors appoints the members of the Committee from amongst its members according to the rules of procedure of the Committee. The Committee has no autonomous decision-making power. Decisions are made by the Board of Directors on the basis of the Committee's preparations and proposals. The Committee regularly reports on their work to the Board of Directors, which supervises the operations of the Committee.
The aim of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee is to prepare the CEO's and Deputy CEO's elections as well as the management's terms of employment, ensure the objectivity of decision-making, enhance the achievement of the company's goals through bonus schemes, increase the company's value and ensure that bonus schemes are transparent and systematic. The aim of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee is also to ensure that the merit pay systems are linked to the company's strategy and the results obtained.
The Nomination and Remuneration Committee has three (3) members. According to its rules of procedure, the Nomination and Remuneration Committee consists of the Chairman, Deputy Chairman and one member of the Board of Directors elected by the Board itself. As an exception to recommendation 17 of the Corporate Governance Code, one (1) of the three members of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee is independent of the company and significant shareholders. The Nomination and Remuneration Committee consists of members of the Board of Directors, most of whom are dependent of the company and significant shareholders.
The Chairman of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee is Seppo Paavola and the other members are Jyrki Rantsi and Nella Ginman-Tjeder. In 2019, the Nomination and Remuneration Committee met four (4) times, and the average attendance of the members was 100% as follows: Seppo Paavola 4/4, Jyrki Rantsi 4/4 and Nella Ginman-Tjeder 4/4.
According to the rules of procedure, the duties of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee are as follows:
Making the preparations for the nomination of the CEO and Deputy CEO.
Making preparations to search for successors to the CEO and Deputy CEO.
Preparing the terms of employment of the CEO and Deputy CEO and bringing them before the Board of Directors.
Preparing the remuneration, fees and other employment benefits of the directors that report to the CEO and bringing them before the Board of Directors.
Preparing the forms and criteria of the bonus and incentive schemes of top management and bringing them before the Board of Directors.
Preparing the content and group assignments of the pension programmes of the company's management and bringing them before the Board of Directors.
Submitting its statement on the bonus arrangements for the entire personnel before their approval and assessing their functionality and the achievement of the systems' goals.
If required, discussing possible interpretation problems related to the application of the approved bonus schemes and recommending a solution.
If required, reviews information to be published in the financial statements and, where applicable, in other bonus-related documents.
Preparing the Remuneration Policy and Report for the General Meeting and presenting the Remuneration Policy and Report at the General Meeting and answering related questions regarding the remuneration of the CEO and Deputy CEO.
Performing other duties separately assigned to it by the Board of Directors.
The Chairman of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee convenes the Committee as needed. At the meetings, the matters belonging to the duties of the Committee are reviewed. The Nomination and Remuneration Committee may invite other people to join its meetings if deemed necessary and may use external experts to assist the Committee in fulfilling its duties.
As noted in section 4 above, Atria's General Meeting has established a separate Shareholders' Nomination Committee to prepare proposals concerning the election and remuneration of the members of the Board of Directors as well as the remuneration of the members of the Supervisory Board for the next Annual General Meeting.

Unicorns And Anti-Gravity Shoes
The wishful thinking is strong in this species, Luke.
Image credit: Tesla Motors
It's a normal Monday morning and you've just received a new email so of course you open it immediately because that's what everyone does. The email is brief: it tells you that XXX stock will go up in value tomorrow. You shrug and get on with your day, quickly forgetting all about the odd email. Until Tuesday, when you receive another email. This is also brief: it points out that XXX stock did indeed rise as predicted, and the new tip is that ABC stock will go up tomorrow.
Again, you shrug and get on with your day. You're not really sure how you got onto this email list but, what the heck, it's harmless. When Wednesday rolls round and you open up the email reminding you that both XXX and ABC went up as predicted, you feel a tiny frisson of interest. But, hey, twice in a row is probably just dumb luck. Today the email tells you that ZZZ stock will go down.
Come Thursday, you're actually slightly eager to receive the email. Sure enough, ZZZ went down as predicted. Three in a row is pretty impressive, so you're curious to read what the email tells you about YYY stock: it will go up. And come Friday you're actually excited to see that, wow! YYY went up exactly as predicted! So that's four in a row, no way is that luck, whoever puts this email together clearly knows their stuff.
On Saturday you get another email saying, sure, the markets are closed today but be patient because on Monday XYZ shares will go up. On Monday you check the share price online yourself and sure enough, by end of day XYZ has gained 1.7%. OK, so this is serious stuff. Five good calls in a row and no misses. Now you want to know how you can benefit personally from whoever's playing the market with infallible accuracy.
Luckily for you, on Tuesday you get an email reminding you (how could you forget?) that they gave you five perfect predictions in a row. This is because they're using a sophisticated AI system that calculates billions of probabilities and spits out a handful of absolute certainties each day. The folks who created this system have already made hundreds of millions of dollars and now they want to share their good fortune so that more people can stick it to the suits on Wall Street. But it's a limited time offer: if you can wire $10,000 to their brokerage account before end of day, they'll guarantee you a return of over 200% by the end of the week.
Astonishingly, every time this blatantly obvious scam is run, thousands of people fall for it. The human brain is atrociously bad at understanding probabilities and even worse at avoiding wishful thinking. (In case you don't already know how this scam works, it's explained at the end of this article.)
While the above is clearly fraud and therefore illegal, how about this next scenario:
A well-known self-publicizing tech entrepreneur buys a majority shareholding in an electric car company. He keeps announcing dates when vehicles will roll off the production line but he keeps missing every date. When cars eventually do appear, they do so in volumes that are a fraction of what was promised and there are significant quality issues. This doesn't dissuade the entrepreneur, who continually promises things that his company reliably fails to deliver. Amazingly, the share price rises as investors buy into the somewhat nebulous vision and outlandish claims the self-appointed CEO makes at every opportunity.
Although the company misses every target imaginable, the share price continues to rise, boosted by an endless escalation in hype. No longer is this an automobile company, it's a save-the-planet battery autonomous vehicle everyone will have one because this is the future company.
The CEO displays a truck ideal for posing up and down 280 but totally useless as a truck. The CEO claims he's about to reveal a "million mile" battery technology that will replace the rather embarrassing collection of wired-together phone batteries that all his current products rely on and which have to be (expensively) replaced every five years as two separate but troublesome phenomenon (interphase ion loss, and gradual destruction of the cathode) cause a massive degradation in performance. Not only are these regular battery replacements expensive but they're also environmentally harmful as producing lithium requires a lot of energy and is rather polluting, and as yet there's no good way to recycle old lithium batteries, which are highly toxic. So the "million mile" battery (e.g. a battery that will last a million miles of EV use before becoming too useless to retain) would be a game-changer.
Most people imagine the "million mile" battery means a travel distance of one million miles on a single charge, whereas it is supposed to mean a million amp-miles of duty life. Worse yet, those few who understand what the phrase means buy into it completely, being in no way skeptical about the unverified claim, because hey, who wants to bother learning some basic material science? And besides, it's a great story. Miracles do happen, right?
And so the company's share price rises again.
Doubters are told that even if the company's margins aren't great, autonomous vehicles will mean that the company can compete with Uber and Lyft (and presumably lose money with every ride, just like Uber and Lyft do….), which means that a thousand trillion bazillion dollar market cap is a true reflection of the company's potential. And so the share price rises yet again.
The question is: what difference is there, if any, between the email scam at the beginning of this article and the perfectly legal share price inflation of Tesla?
It takes only moments with an Excel spreadsheet to reveal that Tesla's current valuation is so high that there is literally no way in the world that it can ever make enough money at a large enough margin to justify the enthusiasm with which naïve souls are pouring money into the stock. A few years ago someone pointed out that Tesla's valuation then (which was when the company was around $400 per share versus $2,700 today) meant that by 2030 every single car sold in the world for more than $50,000 would have to be a Tesla. Which clearly was never going to happen even in Musk's wildest drug-fueled fantasies. So how did we arrive at a point where the shares are so clearly hyper-over-valued?
We got here for the same reason that so many fall for the email scam: we are simple creatures and we want to believe. We want to believe doctors know what they are doing (surprise: far too often they are clueless), we want to believe our leaders know what they are doing (more and more difficult to cling to this illusion these days), and we want to believe that nice things will happen to us because we really, really need the money. If something increased in value yesterday then surely that means it will increase again today. Because that's how things work, right?
Which brings us to the anti-gravity shoes of this article's title.
Yes, it would be lovely if anti-gravity shoes were real. Not least because it would mean that all sorts of anti-gravity products could be created. As 40% of US citizens are obese and more than 86% are overweight, this would literally ease most people's burden. Furthermore we could have whizzy new aircraft and Star Trek-like magic spaceships. Even Musk could perhaps finally deliver on his much-hyped billionaire's panic room on Mars.
But anti-gravity shoes don't exist because physics, unlike share prices, doesn't respond to wishful thinking even in the short term. When something seems too good to be true, that's because it is too good to be true.
Sad update: there are no miracles in life. Even smart & stable venture capitalists have to learn this lesson the hard way thanks to "teaching moments" like WeWork among many, many others.
It's so often a truism that the easiest people to con are those who imagine themselves to be smart; however it's even easier to con dumb ignorant people, and that's most of us.
But hey, don't let this downer article prevent you from benefiting from my personal and totally infallible insight into amazing new investment opportunities! Just click on the link below to be added to my mailing list and you'll receive daily tips that absolutely can't miss.
Trust me.
(And I promised you an explanation of the email scam, so here it is.
How the scam works: Buy an email list with 40 million addresses. On Day One, send 20 million an email saying XXX stock will go up; send the other 20 million an email saying XXX stock will go down. Wait & see what happens. Discard the 20 million to whom you sent the wrong prediction. Now split your remaining group into two groups of 10 million. Send half an email saying YYY stock will go up and send the other half an email saying YYY stock will go down. Wait & see what happens. Discard the 10 million to whom you sent the wrong prediction. Continue for 5 days, at which point you'll have sent "successful predictions" five days straight to a group of 1.25 million people, quite a few of whom will believe you're a stock price predicting god. If even only one-tenth of one percent fall for your "send me $10k and I'll double it within a week" pitch that means you walk off with $12.5 million, all by spending a minute a day sending out automated email blasts.)

The Common Good is protection against the charlatan, the tyrant, the thief, leaders, politicians, corporations and despots. The Common Good is one of the oldest form of democracy and consensual organisation. The environmental disasters around the world run concurrent with the destruction of the commons and its values. The Common Good is to do with our relations to each other, not the abstraction of such things as land ownership, which is to do with oppression. The Common Good protects the finite resources of our planet for future generations, encouraging development of our assets. The Common Good is an easy to understand concept and crosses language barriers, and cultures.
The Common Good in Scotland is unique as it also consists of assets worth tens of millions of pounds in public ownership, has laws to protect it and it stretches all over the country. The question would be. Why are we not using this infrastructure and these resources more to regenerate a civil society?

Свято-Покровський храм — дерев'яна церква, пам'ятка архітектури XVIII століття місцевого значення, розташована у  селі Городецьке Уманського району Черкаської області.

Історія
Храм закладений у 1761 році. Освячений 14 жовтня 1766 року. Був головним храмом для трьох сотень Уманського полку. Безперервно діяв до початку 1960-х років — до його закриття радянською владою. Після закриття церкву використовували як зерносховище. Після руйнування глиняного приміщення в результаті негоди, сільський клуб було перенесено до церкви.

У 1990 році році клуб з приміщення церкви виселили, церкву освячено, однак за призначенням храм не використовувався до 1996 року, коли настоятелем призначено отця Миколая Дрозда. У 1998 році відновлено комплекс куполів та хрестів на церкві. Плоску стелю під головним куполом, яка була встановлена у роки функціонування там сільського клубу, демонтовано та відновлено напівсферичну основу. Відновлено іконостас.

26 грудня 1999 року храм освячений патріархом Київським і всієї Руси-України Філаретом.

У 2001 році отця Миколая Дрозда переведено до Житомира. Протягом певного часу настоятелі храму часто змінювалися. У 2003 році настоятелем храму став Микола Соловей.

Влітку 2012 року при церкві відкрили недільну школу.

12 жовтня 2016 року з візитом із нагоди її 250-річчя церкву відвідав патріарх Філарет (Денисенко).

2015 Sandy Hook Ride Set for March 28 at Greenwich Town Hall
By: greenwichfreepress | March 2, 2015
On March 28 Greenwich Town Hall will be the site for a gun violence prevention rally.
Supporters plan to welcome "Team 26" to Greenwich at a stop during their 400 mile ride from Sandy Hook to Washington, DC to honor victims of gun violence and call for federal gun safety reform. The event takes place from 12:00 noon until 1:30pm and will move indoors in the event of rain.
In Connecticut lawmakers will be voting on Gov. Malloy's proposal to close a loophole they say resulted in the murder of Lori Jackson, a Connecticut resident who was shot and killed by her husband after she obtained a temporary restraining order against him. The Lori Jackson Domestic Violence Survivor Protection Act is intended to protect domestic violence survivors from gun violence by preventing an individual subject to a temporary restraining order from purchasing or possessing a firearm for the duration of the order.
While Connecticut is known for strong gun laws, organizers of the rally say it's time for Congress to follow suit.
Speakers will be announced shortly. At the 2014 Sandy Hook Ride, Sen. Richard Blumenthal, Rep. Jim Himes, CT Attorney General George Jepsen and Greenwich First Selectman Peter Tesei all addressed hundreds who turned out for the event.
Sen. Blumenthal recently told Huffington Post, "Gun violence affects everyone and Congress is aiding and abetting by failing to take stronger action."
The event is organized by The Greenwich Council Against Gun Violence, a local grassroots organization whose mission is, "to join hands with others to work for common-sense state and federal regulation of firearms to help reduce gun violence." The group is planning the rally in partnership with The Enough Campaign, Southwestern CT Brady Campaign and CAGV (Connecticut Against Gun Violence).

Tsjaka, auch Ben-Hur genannt, ist eine Ansiedlung in der Omaheke-Region in Namibia, die ca. 50 Kilometer südlich von Gobabis, der Hauptstadt der Region, liegt.

Tsjaka liegt genau an der Schnittstelle der beiden ehemaligen Farmen Tsjaka und Ben-Hur. Gemeinsam mit den umliegenden Kleinstsiedlungen hat Tsjaka ca. 3000 Einwohner, die überwiegend zur Gruppe der Tswana und verschiedenen San-Gruppen gehören. In der Siedlung werden vor allem Setswana und Khoekhoegowab sowie verschiedene San-Sprachen gesprochen.

Jährlich findet im Ort ein überregional bekanntes Pferderennen statt.

Geschichte
1981 entstand in Tsjaka ein Farmerverband, nachdem der Chief der namibischen Tswana, Constance Kgosiemang zehn nebeneinander liegende Farmen mit Regierungsgeldern kaufte und diese zu einer resettlement area (Umsiedlungsgebiet) für die setswanasprachige Bevölkerung der Region, mit dem Namen Ben-Hur Rural Development Centre, formte.

Infrastruktur
Die kleine Ansiedlung in der Kalahari ist von der Hauptstraße C22 kommend nur über eine Schotterstraße zu erreichen. In Tsjaka befindet sich eine Grundschule, die Mphe Thuto Primary School, das Ben-Hur Rural Development Center, das von der Ngoma Consulting Company, einer lokalen Nichtregierungsorganisation für ländliche Entwicklung geführt wird, sowie das Wahlkreisbüro des Kalahari-Wahlkreises. Die Bevölkerung lebt in Wellblechhütten oder in massiv errichteten Wohnhäusern. Wichtigster ökonomischer Faktor ist die Subsistenzwirtschaft.

The Faribault Main Street crew of volunteers have been busy this year – and they are about to get busier. When Bruce Burkhartzmeyer took the helm as the Board of Directors Chair in January, he brought an ambitious plan that we should have a Main Street representative visit all of our members – an Every Member Visit. So far, I have a list of 162 businesses inside our Main Street boundaries and 18 businesses just outside of our area, so you can see that it is truly an ambitious task. But we're up to it and the purpose of the visits is three-fold.
First, we want to make sure that everyone is aware of what the Faribault Main Street program does for Downtown Faribault – what we have done, what we plan to do, how we advocate for local businesses and building owners, and how we promote and enhance the downtown area. Every business and building owner within our boundaries is a member of our team – whether they know it or not. And everyone is invited to take part in our efforts to strengthen the very neighborhood that produces their livelihood. We want business owners, managers, employees and building owners to understand that we are all in this together, and as a group, we are much stronger and viable than we are as individuals.
Secondly, we want to learn more about our members. What products and services they offer. What changes have they made recently and what changes are they planning to make in the future. How have they effectively marketed their business and what can we learn from them about what hasn't worked. What businesses or product lines would complement theirs? And most important, what can Main Street do to assist their efforts at strengthening our area.
The third purpose of the Every Member Visit is to form a grass roots donor support program. We are in our third year as a designated Minnesota Main Street community and our volunteers have worked very hard in establishing a solid base. That base has been built brick by brick and we feel it is a solid foundation on which we can continue to build. We hope to garner enough funds from a donor support program to solidify the program to the point that we can start making tangible investments back into our area. We have taken on the task of making sure flower baskets line our streets in the summer, but we also recognize that we need holiday decorations, we could use new street banners, and we all would benefit from bigger and more effective festivals and advertising promotions. Building owners have the City of Faribault micro-loan program to improve their facades and we would like to offer a complimentary grant program to really give our buildings a shot in the arm. Together, all of these efforts will make our businesses stronger, our property values improve, and all of Downtown Faribault more vibrant.
The Main Street Board conducted an on-line survey at the end of 2012 to gauge the effectiveness of the Main Street Program. Click on the link below to access all the results.
Calling all participants – kids costume parade and chili connoisseurs & chefs!
On Saturday, October 13th downtown Faribault will be filled with kids in their best Halloween costumes as they take part in the kid's parade that starts at 11:00 a.m. Leading the parade will be a marching band to get the crowd going. Family members are encouraged to make signs supporting the parade participants. Last year we had well over 100 parade participants so let's see if we can top that this year! No pre-registration is required. Strollers and trikes are welcome but no pets or motorized vehicles please. Get the neighborhood, classroom, day care kids or family together and have a great time at the kids' costume parade on Central Avenue. We will gather at around 10:30 a.m. in the parking lots of 520 or 533 Central Avenue near Gran Plaza and Katie Brien Photography and the parade will end in the 200 block of Central Avenue. After the parade, families will be able to enjoy more great kid's activities. Don't forget your camera as it will be an event to capture in pictures.
Also part of our Fall Festival is the famous Chili Contest. Think you make a great batch of chili? Here's your chance to show off. Or maybe you just LOVE to eat chili. Here's your chance to sample about 30 different chili recipes. Vote for your favorite and the winner may have their chili featured at Boston's restaurant all winter long!
To enter the Chili Contest, stop down and see Marie at The Sweet Spot or you can click 2012 Fall Festival Chili Contest Rules for the Chili Contest rules and entry form.
The Fall Festival is sure to be a great event for the whole family. Come spend some great quality family time in Downtown Faribault.
Faribault Main Street proudly presents the MYSTERY ENTERTAINMENT CRAWL on Saturday, August 25th!
Starting at 7:00 pm, entertainment acts will be going on simultaneously at Grampa Al's, Signature Bar & Grill, and Boston's Gourmet Pizza. You will see a 30 minute entertainment act and then you will move to the next location. The entertainers stay at their locations and the crowd rotates around them.
You may hear a band, see a 1 act play, or laugh at a comedian.
You won't know what the entertainment is until you show up!
The grand finale will be held at The Paradise Center for the Arts and will feature Courtney Yasmineh. Courtney is an international recording artist and songwriter and is just off of her 5th European Tour.
This will truly be a night of original entertainment in Downtown Faribault! Don't miss it!
Purchase your tickets at Eastman Music, Flair Furniture, The Crafty Maven, or at the Chamber of Commerce. Tickets are limited so get yours early! Prices are 1 – $20 or 2 – $30 or 6 – $75. Get some friends together and make it a great night in Downtown Faribault and see 4 entertainment acts for only $12.50 per ticket! How do you beat that!
Dine Out in Downtown Faribault!
Dining out within the Faribault Main Street area is a vital activity that keeps our entire downtown economically healthy. We are very fortunate to have a fantastic variety of great restaurants in Downtown Faribault. You can enjoy Italian specialties, pizza, burgers, steaks, and down-home all American breakfasts. All at reasonable prices and without spending a tank full of gas.
Faribault Main Street and a group of these wonderful restaurants have teamed up to promote the Downtown Faribault restaurant industry and to allow the citizens of Faribault to give us some feedback on how we are doing. Check back to the Faribault Main Street website for special offers from the local restaurants, as well as the opportunity for you to fill out customer service surveys and voice your opinion on the quality of your dining experience.

The Faribault Main Street Program leadership has determined that the flower baskets are an important asset to our community and have developed a plan to continue the program.
You can be part of this colorful project by sponsoring these beautiful baskets that are locally planted by Donahue's Greenhouse and are watered almost daily by the Faribault Area Senior Center. In fact, a generous portion of the funds raised are donated to the Senior Center.
You may sponsor one basket for $80.00 or make a larger contribution if you are able. Any contribution is appreciated.
You may download additional sponsorship forms online. All contributors will be recognized on the Faribault Main Street Website. Click this link for: Flower Basket Sponsor Form.

AARP: Secure Choice
We produced this video with AARP to promote a new retirement savings program called Secure Choice. In this video, we featured both on-screen talent and 2D animation. AARP preferred to feature their volunteers in this video rather than professional actors, so the delivery is a bit less polished in a few cases. If we decided to go in this direction with our project, I would recommend hiring a professional actor.
Cooper University Health Care: Patient Access
We created this video to help Cooper University Health Care explain their new patient access system to the health care system's Board of Trustees. For this example, we chose to use 2D animation and voiceover to tell the story.

We produced this video for Main Line Health to show off some of the features of their new website.

We worked with SteegeThomson Communications to produce a series of spots for Independence Blue Cross for their Know Your Mind campaign. This one incorporates animation into some graphics that SteegeThomson Communications had designed for the campaign.

We were hired for this spot to help the client bring their vision to life. To bring awareness to children's support services in the state of NJ, we worked with the client's in-house director to help them create their script. Narrative Media provided support with all production services and, after the shoot, we also edited 15, 30 and 60 second English language and Spanish language versions of the ads.

Late in 2020, Cooper University Healthcare reached out to Narrative Media in hopes of obtaining creative support for a project they'd initially conceptualized internally. Wanting to offer their recognition and deep gratitude for the countless hours and efforts contributed by their doctors, nurses, technicians, and staff, Cooper's hope was that they could somehow encapsulate all the highs and lows of this trying, "all hands on deck," year.

State of NJ: Safe Haven PSA
Narrative Media was commissioned to produce a series of 60, 30 and 15 second PSAs, for the NJ Department of Children and Families. The PSAs highlight their Safe Haven program that allows mothers of infant children to legally, safely and anonymously leave their children in care of The State at any hospital, fire station, police station or rescue squad if they are unable to care for the children themselves. The spots were promoted through paid marketing on social media and with earned media press events featuring the First Lady of the State of NJ. The spots have made well over 1 million media impressions to date. Narrative Media is currently working with the Department of Children and Families to produce Spanish language versions of the spots to broaden their impact.

Narrative Media Wins Gold and Silver in the 42nd Annual Telly Awards!


The Day1: Watershed program at Hope College has received the 2017 Watershed Stakeholder of the Year Award from the Macatawa Watershed Project of the Macatawa Area Coordinating Council (MACC).
The award, which honors efforts to improve the water quality of the Macatawa watershed, was presented on Thursday, Dec. 7, during the Macatawa Watershed Project's annual meeting, held at Holland City Hall.
Day1: Watershed is a year-long program that engages freshmen in conducting research regarding the health of the 175-square-mile Macatawa watershed by measuring sediment run-off, the presence of nutrients such as phosphorus, and E. Coli contamination. The students move to campus a week early and conduct research full-time, collecting and analyzing water samples even before classes begin — thus the "Day1" in the program name. They continue their work and studies during the school year through a laboratory course and First-Year Seminar course. Day1: Watershed is also a research community, with the students living in the same residence hall.
Faculty mentors who work with the students include Dr. Aaron Best, who is the Harrison C. and Mary L. Visscher Professor of Genetics; Dr. Brent Krueger, professor of chemistry and Schaap Research Fellow; and Dr. Michael Pikaart, associate professor of chemistry. The overall Day1 program, which includes five different initiatives featuring a variety of themes, is directed by Dr. Catherine Mader, professor of physics.
Day1: Watershed is in its third year, but research at Hope into the health of the local watershed goes back some 20 years. Former faculty member Dr. Graham Peaslee, who received the Stakeholder of the Year Award in 2005, began studying the watershed in the latter 1990s. In 2011, Hope researchers led by Peaslee and Pikaart became part of a multi-organization study of the watershed funded through a major grant to the Outdoor Discovery Center Macatawa Greenway (a 2012 stakeholder honoree) from a group of private donors. Best and PIkaart continue to integrate study of the watershed into their ongoing research programs. In addition, students in the Department of Geological and Environmental Sciences' Advanced Topics in Environmental Science course often focus on the system in their independent research projects.
In addition to Watershed, the Day1 programs at Hope are: EDGE, in which engineering students work on a project for a community customer; Great Lakes, focused on the endangered Pitcher's thistle plant species and other ecological considerations; Michigan Rocks, a field geology experience in northern Michigan; and Phage Discovery, in which students isolate, characterize and name a phage bacterium that they discover. More information about all of them is available online. The Watershed page includes a three-minute video that provides an overview of the program including reflections by students.

Optimism about summer visitors
Travel flows to Greece should increase by 50% this summer compared to last year, starting from early July, despite the problematic picture as regards the pandemic at this point, according to projections from air bookings and surveys of potential visitors from the main markets of visitors to Greek destinations.
Provided the current third wave does subside in April, both in Europe and in Greece, and the vaccination programs increase their pace as of mid-April, airlines and tour operators are preparing for the launch of the main tourism season from the beginning of July.
A top official in the travel industry explained to Kathimerini that "the current restrictions announced and applied in the two main markets for Greek tourism – i.e. Germany and Britain – are aimed mainly at containing the spread of the virus there and the prevention of uncontrolled travel amid the third wave, after the boom in bookings, especially for the Easter for Western Christianity (on April 4), generated by announcements such as those by the British prime minister."
The same official cited sources from Germany and the United Kingdom, saying that despite the stricter lockdown announced and the heavy fines for holidays abroad, restrictions will start being relaxed from late May and be fully lifted in the second half of June.
That is contingent on the efforts to contain the third wave of the pandemic, combined with the growing pace of vaccinations and the improving weather conditions. Significant instruments such as the European Union's planned Digital Green Certificate and the abundance of rapid Covid-19 tests will allow airlines, airports and hotels to cater to a substantially higher number of tourists this summer, according to the baseline scenario the sector's companies have shared with Kathimerini.
Quantifying those estimates, Greece can expect the first quarter to close with incoming visitors at Athens Airport amounting to 15% of those two years earlier, rising to 25% in the second quarter and 54% in the third, sources tell Kathimerini. The final quarter should see 75% of the arrivals of the record year of 2019. Regional airports anticipate up to 65% of the 2019 traffic in the third quarter.
