Defensive end committed in Hawkeyes' 2019 class won't be enrolling at Iowa
Dustin Schutte | 7 months ago
Iowa will be one down from its 2019 recruiting class, according to a report.
HawkeyeReport.com says that Michigan defensive lineman Jalen Hunt will not be enrolling at the University of Iowa this year. He had been a member of the Hawkeyes' 2019 class, but did not get admitted into the school.
"I didn't get admitted to Iowa," Hunt said. "I'm going to Iowa Western (Community College)."
Hunt had been committed to Iowa for a full year, giving his verbal pledge to the program in June 2018. He was a three-star defensive end at 6-foot-2, 262 pounds. He was listed as one of the top 50 strong-side defensive ends in the 2019 class and was a top 20 player out of Michigan.
Since Hunt did not qualify academically through the NCAA Clearinghouse, Hunt will have to graduate from junior college before being eligible to transfer to a Division I program. He says he will re-evaluate his options at that time.
With several offers on the table as a high school prospect, Hunt chose Iowa over Michigan State, Missouri, Minnesota, Pitt, Kentucky and Louisville, among other schools.
Iowa's 2019 recruiting class ranked 41st nationally and ninth in the B1G.

Designing Through the Wall: Cyan in the 1990s
View archive PDF
June 20–October 6, 2019
Born in East Berlin, Detlaf Fiedler and Daniela Haufe started the commercial graphic design agency Cyan soon after the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989. They would go on to become some of the first poster artists to utilize early desktop publishing tools like Photoshop and QuarkXPress into their work, while also looking back and drawing from the intellectual history of the famous Bauhaus art academy.
Cyan expands upon Germany's rich history as a leader in the printmaking world, their posters bursting with saturated colors, perfectly-executed text, and a precision of alignment few could replicate. They turn the tenets of "good design" on their head, proving that advertising does not necessarily need to be immediately interpretable to be successful. This Jewel Box show presents their early posters for the first time in New York City.

Daniela Haufe (born East Berlin, 1966) has no formal arts education, but was trained as a manuel typesetter in a publishing house. She joined the graphic design group Grappa where she met Detlef Fiedler, with whom she would go on to form Cyan—an agency they still run today. Between 1991 and 1995, she and Detlef co-edited the acclaimed critical design magazine form+zweck.
Detlef Fiedler
Detlef Fiedler (born Germany, 1955) is a trained architect and one of the five original founders of Grappa, the first graphic design agency in East Germany. Along with Daniela, he taught graphic design at the Academy of Visual Arts in Leipzig from 1996 to 2006, and continues to run Cyan with her today.

Kim K. slips post-baby body into bikini
After working hard to get in shape after giving birth, Kim Kardashian is having a love affair with white swimwear.
After working hard to get in shape after giving birth to daughter North in June, the 33-year-old reality star can't seem to stay out of a bathing suit. First, there was her infamous selfie - and now she's frolicking on the cover of Us Weekly in a revealing white bikini above the triumphant headline, "My Body Is Back! No Gimmicks, No Surgery."
The rumor that Kardashian has used cosmetic surgeons to revive her pre-baby curves is one that she's consistently denied. "I am very frustrated today seeing reports that I got surgery to lose my baby weight! This is FALSE," she tweeted in November. "I worked so hard to train myself to eat right & healthy, I work out so hard & this was such a challenge for me but I did it!!! I'm so proud of my accomplishment & NO ONE will take this away from me with fake reports!"
Kardashian's previously said that she's used a low-carb diet and regular workouts to shave off the extra pounds, and an "insider" tells People magazine that she's stuck with it while traveling with fiance Kanye West, who's been on his "Yeezus" tour.
Word has it that there's "a trainer on tour with she and Kanye and a chef to keep her meals carb free. It's hard, but she sticks with it pretty much all the time. She's so happy. Life is good."

Grade 6-10-- Based on the excavation of a fort near Hadrian's Wall, this book is distinguished by excellent, detailed illustrations. The defensive walls, living quarters, and adjacent buildings are all detailed in the drawings. Subjects covered include the structure's physical construction, the military necessity for its placement, lives of average soldiers and commanding officers, and a brief overview of the historical context of the fort. Unfortunately, the accompanying text is not so lively. Readers with little background in Roman history and culture can expect no help in the form of a glossary or even any explanation of some of the more technical terms. Good maps are also lacking. Use this to supplement more comprehensive works or where pictorial representation is needed. --David N. Pauli, Missoula Public Library, MTCopyright 1991 Reed Business Information, Inc.

Hey, Colts: Time to give the ball to Marlon Mack
Zak Keefer
INDIANAPOLIS – Wednesday afternoon had bled into Wednesday evening, practice was over and Chuck Pagano was loose and lighthearted. He was making jokes. At one point, with a sly smile, Pagano threatened to go "all Jim Mora" — a nod to the ex-Colts coach's infamous "Playoffs?!? Playoffs?!?" rant — just to give the reporters in the room something different to write about.
Now that would've been fun.
But, no, the current Indianapolis Colts coach wasn't doing that, not on this night. Instead Pagano left the podium wondering where his offensive coordinator was.
"Chud! Where's Chud?" he shouted.
Chud being Rob Chudzinski, the Colts' play-caller. Pagano, same as anyone who watched Monday night's 36-22 loss to Tennessee, wanted an answer to this conundrum: How — and why — had rookie running back/sparkplug Marlon Mack received only two carries?
Probed a few minutes prior for any relevant context behind the puzzling decision — Mack's first run of the game went for 22 yards, for goodness sakes, and he didn't get a single handoff after the first series — Pagano shrugged his shoulders, as if to say, "Beats me."
"There's none," Pagano said. "We've got to get him the ball more. It's on me. Yeah, and if it doesn't (add up), then blame the coach. I screwed that up. Everything runs right through this dude right here."

► Doyel: Indy's tale of two teams — hopeful Pacers and hopeless Colts
► Insider: Who should you blame for Colts loss to Titans? Take your pick
The Colts went to Mack on their second play from scrimmage Monday night; he raced off 22 yards. It was his fourth run of 20 or more this season — equaling the Colts' total from all of 2016, a total that left them dead last in the league. (Making matters worse, Andrew Luck had three of those runs.) It's the reason Mack was drafted. For splash plays like that.
These days, the Colts need them any way they can get them.
Mack had a second run on that drive that lost four yards, but never earned another carry the rest of the night. The Colts' offense sputtered in the second half. The run game disappeared. So did the lead. The Titans rallied, and Indy fell to 2-4.
"We had a number of (plays) up for him," Chudzinski said when asked about Mack on Thursday. "And my focus was, in that second half particularly, getting Jacoby (Brissett) back into rhythm. We had a couple of run-pass options that ended up going the other way, going pass."

Moving forward Chudzinski won't have much of a choice — he'll have to get Mack the ball more, simply due to the fact that the Colts are down a running back. Robert Turbin was hurt Monday night doing a very Robert Turbin thing, scraping for every conceivable last yard on a screen pass. He got nine to set up a pivotal 4th-and-1 the Colts would fail to convert. But Turbin's left arm landed awkwardly, and painfully, and it very well could cost him the season.
The Colts are now mulling whether to put Turbin on injured reserve.
It's a sizable blow to a running back room that's as effective and balanced as it has been in years. At no point in the Luck era have the Colts featured a capable backfield with real, tangible depth. They have that now — or did until Turbin went down. The days of Trent Richardson and Boom Herron and Josh Robinson are over. Frank Gore has been a bedrock of durability; Turbin has excelled in short-yardage situations; Mack has become the home-run hitter.
Now, the Colts are going to have to get Mack more carries. With Turbin out, they don't have a choice.
"A lot of Frank, a lot of Mack," a half-jovial, half-feisty Pagano offered Wednesday. "Mack and Frank. Frank and Mack. Mac and cheese — whatever you want to call it. We're going with Frank and Mack. Frank and Mack attack. You guys like it? I like it. I just made it up."
(Don't forget about third-stringer Matt Jones, who saw an uptick in his practice reps on Wednesday and figures to see some carries.)
But let's be honest — the onus is on Mack. He does what no one else in the running back room does. Time to get him the ball.
And to think: He's only had one more rushing attempt this season than Brissett, the team's starting quarterback.
"Got to embrace it a lot," Mack said of an expanded role. "Just got to be ready whenever my name is called. Going out there with the legend, Frank, every day feels great. Just working hard, getting out there and doing good."
Through four career games, Mack is the very definition of feast or famine. For starters, consider his stat line in his NFL debut: 10 carries for 24 yards, with a long of 24. That's nine carries for a grand total of 0.
Twelve of his 27 career rushes have gone for no gain or less (10 have lost yards). Eight have gone for 10 or more and his two rushing touchdowns really could be four. Pagano failed to challenge a would-be TD in Week 1 in Los Angeles against the Rams, and Mack just missed a second touchdown against the San Francisco 49ers a week ago, coming up inches short.

But he nearly single-handedly won them their Week 5 game against the 49ers, ripping off a 35-yard burst in overtime that set up Adam Vinatieri's game-winning field goal. Mack is certainly the future, possibly the present.
"We all prepare for the same thing," Mack said this week. "We're just focused on going out there and just balling out. With Turbin out, we just got to step up to the plate. Next man up."
This time, he's the Next Man Up. Time to see what the kid can do.

Humans have not really given up on ideas of an Edenic life. Which is why they often seek to escape to paradises amidst nature whenever they get the chance. Here is a list of 15 treehouses from around the world that turn living among trees into a literally amazing experiences.
Shaped like an egg, this creation by Baumraum may make you feel like living inside a docked space capsule. This tree house in Northern Germany can be accessed by two ship ladders separated by a lower terrace 3.8 metres high. The entry to the elevated pod is at the second deck 5.6 metres above ground. The weight of this entire structure is carried by four inclined steel supports enhanced by the connections to the trees. There are also two terraces located adjacent to the pod on the two oars. Only the roof is constructed of metal, which is zinc. The resemblance to an egg is strengthened by the elliptical windows set on a rounded glossy white front façade which provides a better view of the surroundings. To make it a really unforgettable experience, the beds are placed at the side of the windows. Check more photos.
Located in Mount Qiyun in China, the Treehouse M had been designed by Andong Lu and Pingping Dou of the IanD studio. The Cambridge graduates envision this as an intimate retreat for couples who want to completely soak in the park's natural landscape. While made of wood, it minimized the environmental impact by decreasing the total build-time. This was done by using timber and steel fittings made off-site. The materials have also been kept at their standard sizes so that the structures can be recycled. There is a lot of traditional Chinese element with a contemporary twist. It comes with its own portico, dressing room, washroom with its own bathtub and a bedroom designed as a room within a room.
The 7 th Room is actually a luxury hotel in Northern Sweden just near the Arctic Circle, and it is one of the most beautiful places in the world. Situated 33 feet above the ground, it is supported by 12 pine columns in an isolated evergreen forest and is designed like the traditional Nordic cabin. From the large windows, you can settle in the cosiness of the light interior with your coffee and take in the marvellous views of the Swedish Lapland brightened by the winding Lule River. The biggest hit among visitors is the outdoor terrace on a netted base which allows amazing views of the Northern Lights. Check more photos.
The HemLoft was designed and built by Joel Allen who left his job as a software developer to be, yes, a carpenter. It is located in the backwoods of Whistler, just beneath some of the richest mountain homes in Western Canada. Initially, there were some doubts regarding the fate of the house. Its exact location was kept secret by Allen. It was built on Crown land, and this cute little egg-shaped structure was not really liked by the rich mansion owners. It gained a new lease of life once Allen featured it in a blog and people around the world took note. It is now a feature of the Medicine Trail of the tour company Canadian Wilderness Adventures (CWA).
Another offering from Canada located in a heavily forested area of the coastal region of the Vancouver Islands. Actually, it is not one, but a collection of three spherical treehouses. One of them is 9 feet in diameter, while the rest are 10.5 feet each. These are located at a considerable height supported by the pine and fir trees. However, these spheres are just for enjoying the views and the experience. Guests can stay in the Free Spirit Spheres guest resort where there is access to a sauna just near the Qualicum Beach. Check more photos.
A treehouse would look like a smiling face in a country with a forest cover of 67%. And if that is not enough to show the love for nature, then you should know that this culture had its first contemporary treehouse in 1993. Takashi Kobayashi chose this name precisely because he wanted to bring to life a place where people would be one with nature. His furniture items across the 120 stores showcasing his work too are based on the same principle. Today, this treehouse is among the most popular meeting places amidst the calm and mysterious trees. It serves as a cafe and meeting place. The biggest achievement of Kobayashi and his brilliant team is their serious effort at sustainability. Unlike most other architects, they do not damage the tree supporting treehouses. The Tree House People main purpose is to draw people's attention to the threat to ecology brought on by unsatiated human quest for petty pleasures. The treehouse shows how to address it constructively.
This is yet another piece of sheer art by the German company Baumraum. Strictly speaking, this is not a true treehouse as it relies on elevated stilts (which happen to overlook a reflecting pond) for support. This treehouse has most of the contemporary features and has an area of 92 square feet. The 100 square fett terrace is made of tatajuba wood. The cabin can be reached through some steps and a small catwalk. The structure is located in a private backyard in Munster, a city in North Rhine-Westphalia in Germany. Check more photos.
This is among the most beautiful structures in this list. It is designed by architect Claudio Beltrame, in collaboration with DomusGaia, an Italian company specializing in wooden prefabricated houses. It is located in the Italian Alps in the town of Ugovizza and is e specially suited for stargazing. It serves as a holiday home. It is shared like the pinecone native to the coniferous forests of T arvisio where the architect has his studios. Beltrame was not only inspired by the ideals of ecotourism, but also by Michel Foucault's theories of Heterotopias (essentially spaces operating outside society and thus outside its rules). It is suspended at a height of 10 metres and supported by the surrounding fir trees. It can be accessed only by a bridge.
This building project was started in 2014 in Skamania County in Washington in a valley of the Columbia River Gorge . It centres on a multi-platform treehouse which includes sleeping accommodations and electricity support. It also has skating facilities, along with a wood-fired soaking tub. Those doing the construction work were from varied backgrounds, some being professional carpenters while others learning the whole process during the course of building. The brainchild of Foster Huntington, it now has an instructional book documenting the formation in order to raise funding on Kickstarter.
Built by Cape Town-based architectural firm Malan Vorster, this isn't your typical treehouse. This unit of four wooden cylindrical towers is not exactly a treehouse because again, they are supported on stilts. It was originally built for a resident who wanted to revisit their childhood treehouses. The glass walls are covered by red cedar battens which ensure the privacy of the residents while offering them breathtaking views. The interior has contemporary furnishing, making it nothing less than a luxury retreat. Check more photos.
Built by London based Basa Architects for an eco-hotel in the Panama Islands, this cocoa pod- shaped treehouse can be accessed only by boat. It has been designed keeping the scenic beauty of the Caribbean islands in mind. The entrance at one side of its bulbous form splits the structure into two, giving it the appearance of a cocoa pod. The remote nature of the island contributes to the serenity as there is no risk of being drowned in a sea of tourists. It is made of bamboo using local knowledge of construction and has an area of 25 square metres.
How can the French be far behind when it comes to aesthetic luxury? Having the unique shape of a bird's nest, it is supported by a 100 years old oak tree. The small patio around the house further enhances the nest-like ambience with its feeling of protection. A platform suspended on another tall oak thirty meters away is used to access the house. As it has the shape of an octagon, offering are amazing views 360 degrees. It has a living area, a bedroom, a corridor and a dressing room. Check more photos.
And now we have an entire hotel dedicated to treehouses. Opened by Kent Lindvall and his wife Britta in 2010, the Treehotel has contributions by seven Scandinavian architects. They include a mirrored cube, a bird's nest and a charred timber cabin among others. The Lindvalls got the idea from 'The Tree Lover', a film by Jonas Selberg Augusten. At that time, their original traditional guesthouse business situated on the same site, was failing.
Situated just north of Acapulco in Mexico, the Playa Viva takes living the green life to a whole new level. The beachfront house of 700 square feet was designed and conceptualized by D eture Culsign and completed in 6 months. This bilevel house is made of bamboo; electricity and water are provided via solar power. There is an open-air sitting room, along with an outdoor shower facility in one part of its bathroom. There is a wonderful view of the beach from the bed in the sleeping room. Need we say more? Check more photos.
Located in British Columbia, this not only invites humans but also birds. It comes in an A-frame and is situated in the forest slopes of the small village of Windermere in the Columbia Valley of Western Canada. It is 9 feet above ground level and is supported by wooden stilts. 20 feet high, it blends in beautifully with the trees. It occupies an area of 100 square feet. Apart from supporting two people at a time, it is also available for free for 12 species of birds with their specific nesting facilities , or any other creature who drops in for a stay for that matter.
Beautiful, aren't they? The best thing is, you can have a far greater experience compared to busy luxury urban hotels at very cheap rates. So next time you are looking for some peace, give these places a thought.


But Free Price Compare is very eager to hear from talented individuals to join the ever expanding team.
We're helping people make smarter choices. We've made a great start, but there's so much more we want to do.

" Narrator, politician and journalist. His novels, with a distinctly social tone, fell within the naturalist style."
He was born in Valencia in 1867. He is the author of a vast narrative work. His ideology was republican. He settled in Madrid and suffered two brief periods of exile, during which he came into contact with the French naturalist movement. In 1894 he founded the newspaper "El Pueblo", which would become his political platform, close to Pi i Margall. He was elected six times as member of the Spanish parliament. In 1914 he published the novel that would lead to him becoming internationally renowned, "Los cuatro jinetes del Apocalipsis" (The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse). In 1921, with the arrival of Primo de Rivera's dictatorship, he decided to retreat to his house in Nice, where he wrote his last novels, of which "La barraca" (The Holding) (1898) stands out. His later books were more commercial than those written during his years of political fight. He died in Menton (France) in 1928.

A highly diverting celebration of television's favourite naturalist, packed with games, trivia and Attenborough-inspired activities. Attenborough. Just saying the name makes everyone feel better. Words like 'dependable', 'inspiring' and 'soothing' cascade like the rains returning to the sun-parched savanna. And according to a recent poll, he's the most trustworthy person alive, above Michelle Obama and The Queen. As the saga of Boaty, McBoatface showed (the research ship was finally called RRS Sir David Attenborough), British people love silliness. And this book is a celebration of our two favourite things: Attenborough and silliness. You'll find games like Guess the animal from David's description, the David Attenborough drinking game, Create your own Attenborough coat of arms, Spot the fake species, Attenbingo, come up with a new animal print design for David's patented blue shirt in Patternborough, and if you find yourself in times of trouble, seek solace with the What would Attenborough do? self-help guide. Everything you've ever wanted to know about the great man - from fun facts and remarkable quotes, plus ludicrous games - lies within the sustainably forested habitat of these pages. It's the perfect present for, well, anyone, really.

Maritime News, Publication > Professional Mariner, Tugboats & Towing
Thirst for data and efficiencies expected to spur growth of satellite service
On a recent morning, while sailing back to South Florida from St. Bartholomew in the luxury yacht Battered Bull, Capt. Jeff Ridgway and crew heard over the radio that two large cargo ships had collided nearby.
Few vessels were passing through this part of the Caribbean, about 60 miles north of the Dominican Republic, and Ridgway's 171-foot yacht was the first to arrive at the scene.
Throughout the episode, Ridgway and his crew relied on the yacht's satellite phone to communicate with the U.S. Coast Guard hundreds of miles away. The crew also used the device to reach the home office of a British company that managed one of the damaged vessels.
"We originally contacted the USCG on 2182 kHz and then called them on our VSAT voice line. We did not hear responses from any other local traffic on the VHF radio throughout the duration of the incident," he said in an e-mail.
"My first thought was to contact the USCG (using) the SSB thinking that the call would be received by a Coast Guard vessel in the Caribbean area or one of the USCG shore stations. If that had failed we would have then went to the satellite phones," he continued. "We ended up performing most of the communications with the USCG and the M/V Seagate's home office via the VSAT voice line."
Although maritime satellite technology was initially created for this type of emergency, its applications have grown a great deal since the 1970s and 80s. Depending on the system, a shipping company's office staff can track their ship's speed, troubleshoot and repair engine problems and send revised cargo manifests to the captain in a matter of seconds from thousands of miles away.
As large containerships faced crew shortages in the last decade, many installed satellite systems that could handle vast amounts of data. While off duty, crew could play games online, update their Facebook pages and, depending on the policies of their employer, stream video or movies.
The days of unlimited crew Web streaming are largely over amid the hyper-competitive shipping market, according to industry expert Alan Gottlieb, of Gottlieb International Group, in Arlington, Va., a company that advises businesses on satellite communications. But for many smaller boats that work in the United States or near the coast, the days of widespread use of satellite communications have yet to arrive.
Most workboats will now have some kind of satellite system on board, but most of the time the devices gather dust as crews communicate over radio or smartphones for most purposes. Others use basic satellite systems that send text messages back and forth between the office rather than installing Web-ready systems.
Jim Rhodes, a Norfolk, Va.-based communications consultant who advises companies on maritime satellite systems, says the main reason modern satellite has been slow to arrive on many vessels is cost.
"They don't like to use them because the per-minute rates are so high," he said. "These are not what you use to talk to your wife back home and ask, 'Hey, how are the children doing?'"
"The short answer is that where universal terrestrial cellular coverage is available, there is no competition," he added.
Modern satellite systems offer a seemingly unlimited number of options that target different ends of the market.
According to Gottlieb, fishing boats or other small vessels that require very little data could get by with an Inmarsat or Iridium satellite phone that costs about $1,000 to buy and about $1 a minute for voice calls.
For so-called "lightweight users" on mid-sized cargo or tanker ships, VSAT systems that offer two or three phone lines and broadband Internet that allows for Web browsing can be had for anywhere from $1,500 per month and up, while the antennas alone can cost $30,000 or more. Many companies, Gottlieb says, lease the antennas to save money.
Heavy users such as tankers and containerships that require advanced broadband Internet capability to send and receive large amounts of data and have additional bandwidth often spend up to $3,000 a month and buy or lease up to eight-foot-wide antennas that cost between $50,000 to $100,000.
"There are many alternatives depending on what the function of a vessel is, how large the vessel is, and exactly what you want to do on the vessel on the Internet," Gottlieb said.
Despite concerns about the cost of satellite, which industry officials insist is more perception than reality, steady growth is expected in the maritime satellite industry over the next decade.
"Onboard bandwidth requirements keep growing, driving the maritime market in a direction quite beneficial to satellite communications," said Wei Li, senior consultant for the firm Euroconsult. "Fully integrated IP applications providing Internet access, audio and video streaming, and the integration of ships into corporate networks generate significant capacity demand at sea."
Gottlieb said the trends toward more data capability that took off in part as a tool to boost crew welfare will continue as companies learn they can use satellite systems to cut costs.
"Part of it is the need to increase efficiency," said Gottlieb. "On the ship of the future, you will see all sorts of telemetry coming over satellite back to headquarters for analysis. You will be able to remotely diagnose and fix problems on the vessel."
Those factors may drive the very large ship market, but what about smaller vessels that currently have limited use for satellite systems?
Frank Coles, president of Inmarsat Maritime, foresees a host of factors that will ultimately drive these companies toward satellite. For one thing, cell coverage isn't always available, a situation that he says could become more common as networks become more congested.
"What we believe is there is going to be a huge uptick in data in the next five years," Coles said. "If you look at what has happened ashore in the consumer industry, you can see it happening already (in the maritime industry)."
He also believes the same desire for new onboard amenities and operational efficiencies that spurred growth on larger vessels will one day arrive at smaller boats.
"Our research tells us, in the general merchant market, if you enable communication and run proper business tools across a satellite connection, you can run your vessel more efficiently, operate more effectively and have a happier crew because you are able to provide them with more services and benefits," Coles said.
Jim Dodez, vice president of marketing and strategic planning for Rhode Island-based KVH Industries, agrees it's a matter of when, not if, satellite becomes more prevalent on smaller vessels — especially for firms with a fleet of vessels operating in different places.
"Just as people in businesses on shore learned they can significantly improve their company's profitably and performance with a network, we are starting to see that now with a lot of maritime markets," he said, "even on tugs and barges."
Dann Marine Towing, of Chesapeake City, Md., is one company that's considering adopting a more advanced maritime satellite system for its fleet of 18 inland and oceangoing tugboats along the Eastern Seaboard, the Gulf of Mexico and the Great Lakes.
Jason Wisneski, the company's safety manager, said vessels are outfitted with satellite phones and a Boatracs system that sends and receives messages between the home office and other boats. The satellite phone is used only as a last resort, after the Boatracs system, onboard cell phones and radio, he said.
Wisneski said the company is considering a different Boatracs system that would greatly expand what the crew can do while on the water.
"Let's say you have a new employee and you needed him to fill out a change of address form," he said. "He could log on to site, the form would pop up and you could fill it out and print it here in real time."
The system could also give the company more flexibility to change orders and communicate with upcoming ports and receive updates mid-route, he said.

Whether luck or skill or some combination, pure math is all that matters in the MLS world of aggregate-score playoff series. And Buddle's goal was all the Galaxy needed to take a 1-0 win in its playoff opener Sunday at Qwest Field.
However, Schmid quickly reminded that the result reflects only half of a 180-minute competition that will determine which club advances to the Western Conference finals.
Buddle only smiled when told of Schmid's implication that the goal had been lucky.
Los Angeles coach Bruce Arena also lamented his team's missed opportunities to increase the advantage that it will take to Home Depot Center in Carson, Calif., where the series will conclude Sunday.


The human population is made up of 65% of visual learners. This means that we can influence 65% of consumers using images.
Since time immemorial, visuals have been used by marketers to grab their customers' attention, which means that there must be something about the images that leads to conversions.
People can remember more than 2,000 pictures with at least 90% accuracy. This is another way of saying that they will recall your brand if they are prodded with images right on point.
This is the major reason why my website design team spends so much time picking the right image for our clients, an image that is chosen keeping in mind the visitors and their behaviour.
So how exactly can an image help you reach those conversion goals that you have planned for your website?
First, let us quickly go through what conversion rate means for a website.
It is the ratio of the number of visitors who have completed the desired goal on the website, (could be buying the product or services, contacting or may be subscribing for a newsletter) and total visitors who visited the site.
t'd be legit to say that the conversion rate is the mission of creating a website. The essence of conversion is quite simple.
Create an unforgettable experience for the users.
Now there are more than one ways of creating an unforgettable experience when the visitors come to your website. Some of the most popular being seamless navigation, fast loading pages and compelling buttons and images.
While 3 out of 4 of the above-mentioned techniques are mostly strategy based, the technique of using images for website conversions requires a perfect blend of strategy and creativity.
It is imperative to obtain this perfect blend to encourage the visitors to consume your content the way you want them to and eventually influence their decision-making.
Looking for images and shortlisting is not the tricky part. What is tricky is doing the research before that. When you pick an image, you are actually picking an emotion. An emotion that is accepted and taken well by your target audience.
Your understanding of the target audience comes into play here. The gender, age, interests etc. of your target audience will determine the emotion of the image you will pick.
Images have the power to create an emotional connect. Thus, pick the right images and hit the nail right on the spot.
It is important to understand that the page where the user lands, that is the landing page of your website, is the first look of your product. Therefore, the right balance should be struck when it comes to image size.
Blog: Images in the blog vary as per the content area. The width should be equal to the area of the content and the height anywhere between 400-500px.
Needless to say that pictures should be HD. The image quality also plays a very important role in forming an impression on the mind of the visitors. Here is an example from a website that has low quality images.
The quality of image shows how serious a brand is about its reputation. Low-quality images equal non-professionalism and non-seriousness. You can fail at the very first step of gaining the trust of the visitors.
If mere showing the product off could get you conversions, why would big brands spend so much on models?
The images without context are like words without emotions. Until you are not able to take the visitor on a nostalgic or fantasy journey where he can visualize himself using your product, you just cannot expect him to buy it.
An image with faces, be it a stock photo, a celebrity photo or your own photo, increases your credibility and psychologically assures your visitors that you are not hiding something.
Even the website eye tracking studies reveal that users 'Users fixate on those elements on the page that are relevant for their task'.
It means if the visitors come to your website looking for a dress, they would definitely connect better with a model wearing a dress instead of a photo with the dress on a rack or a hanger. By focusing on this parameter, you can control the way the user looks at the images.
Prefer images that focus on people using the product or images that have people in the background. This gives the images a realistic touch. Remember, 2018 is all about humanizing your brand whichever way possible.
Microsoft revealed some time back that our attention span has decreased to 8 seconds which is one second less than a goldfish!
This has made the work even more challenging. Human brain has an ability to decipher the whole image just by understanding what a portion of the image is about. Putting it in simpler terms, our brain focuses on small portions of the image at a time to get the hang of the emotion hidden beneath it.
This is the reason why it is advised not to bombard your landing page with multiple images and focus on a single, effective image. Your message will be delivered most powerfully when you will not confuse the brain with too many ideas and images.
An image should have one and only one focal point. When the visitor sees the picture, his eyes should stop right on the focal point and rest everything should become faded in the back of his mind.
See the image above. The image of Nestle Cheerios on the right-hand side of the webpage is mesmerizing. If you pay close attention, the bowl of milk has the right portion of Cheerios in it, enough that the focus still remains on the Cheerios and not the milk or the bowl.
Once the user sees the images of your products, it is your responsibility to drag their focus on the product and make unimportant details disappear!
So choose wisely on which aspect of the image you want to grab the user's attention to and then amplify that aspect using zooming, highlighting or using the line of sight technique where the images point in the direction of text or object that the user is supposed to see.
When we talk about responsive web design, it means adaptable layouts or liquid layouts that smoothly flow and fit different screens of the users. It has the ability to detect the users' screen orientation and change layouts accordingly.
While selecting images for your website, ensure they have the same characteristics. Always test the image on your mobile screen to make sure that it doesn't get distorted.
Check if the images that you have chosen fit screens of all sizes. With 80% of internet users having a smart phone, of internet users having a smartphone, it is very likely that your website is viewed on a mobile instead of a desktop. So when you pick images for your website, make sure they fit all screens and are equally effective.
It's wise if you pick image according to mobile size as that will resize easily on the website.
Also, with 91% of social media users are accessing social channels via mobile images should be resized keeping in mind various social media platforms.
Speculation and contemplation is a collective psyche of consumers while buying a product. This process gets even more prolonged even more time when the product they are buying is expensive and holds much importance for them. Being in that state, it is natural to not settle for the first thing that they see.
To this psyche, it is necessary to depict a detailed version of your product. Include maximum features in the product image and as many close-ups as possible. If you are offering a product having intricate details, zoom in feature on the image enhances the user experience fourfold and increases reliability.
Include different angles of the product images to help your users gain correct perspective of the product. Include different focus, angle and details in every image you add.
This how multiple angles of Sennheiser headphones give the customers a clarity on what they will be getting once they order it.
This enables the users to get a better judgement about your product and deepens the faith in the mind of the visitors.The more clarity the visitor has about the product, the more trust is built around the brand.
This is another way of building emotional connect with your target audience. A mascot can be animal, person or an object.
Don't you all recall cute little Ow.ly the moment you think of Hootsuite?
It should not be confused with a logo which is strictly meant for branding purposes. A mascot also gives a friendly and warm feeling and leaves a long-lasting impression.
Apart from that the look and feel of a mascot is fun and approachable which helps the company to build those vibes. This especially works wonders for small business owners wherein a mascot helps them to win a brand recall from the visitors.
If you're convinced that your brand needs a mascot (believe me, it does!), the next process is selecting which mascot fits the best for conversions.
There are two aspects of creating a mascot for the brand.
You can create a mascot that is the personification of your brand. This involves using the emotions that fit your brand. If it is modern, casual, fun-loving etc., the colors and the mood of the mascot will be set according to what personality your website wants to wear.
You can also create a mascot that is the personification of the customer's persona. This rolls mainly on visitor's emotions. All that time that you spent researching your target audience and defining user personas pays off here.
Your mascot with personality traits of your users can evoke a feeling of nostalgia and relatability.
Here are some of the most memorable mascots that are standing out from the competition.
So decide how you want to approach your visitors and create that indelible impact that you'd been dreaming of.
Often it is prescribed not to use pictures from stock photos and give more preference to professionally clicked photographs because of the redundancy that the stock photos have today.
However, I have a slightly different take on this. Professionally clicked photos are all good, but what if you want to save some time and bills on that?
You can use stock photos for your website after retouching and tailoring keeping few points in mind. The challenge always remains in how you do the retouch.
Never use images that are generic without adding text. Stock images without text look so offbeat and boring and out of context. Why would you want to bore your visitors?
Give the stock photo a tinge of your brand. You can use your brand specific colors on these images or even use your logo. This transforms a regular stock photo into your brand specific photo.
Change the focus of the stock photo to use only those components that are essential to your content. You don't have to use the whole photo, be creative and change your focus. Zoom into parts of the image that holds weight as per your content.
If that image were to be used for website development services, it would not hold much weight on a visitor's mind as the focus of the image is somewhat unclear.
Here, I zoomed in the laptop, threw some light on the image, and made my message quite conspicuous that I am offering website development services.
Use tools like Canva for these retouches and editing and you will successfully be able to use stock images to your benefit without looking redundant and boring.
A website is like your online store that is open 24×7. It is the cheapest and the easiest way to put your product out there.
That is why 55% of the inbound marketers consider growing company's website as their topmost priority.
Website conversion rates don't happen overnight, you need to work hard and keep testing to stumble upon that perfect formula that works for your audience.
Even though every business has its own unique formula, the ingredients remain the same. It's just the matter of ratios.
So are you ready to start tweaking your perfect formula to boost conversion rate?

Loló Cevicheria, the vibrant sister restaurant of Loló on Valencia Street, is closing. Owner Jorge Martinez said the last day of service will be Saturday.
The original Loló is going to remain open.
"Our lease just came to an end," Martinez said.
There's a history of musical chairs in the 22nd Street space, which was home to the original Loló. In 2014, when Loló moved to its current, larger home on Valencia, the Loló team of Martinez and his wife/designer Lorena Zertuch were not planning on opening a second spot. But once the new Loló hit its stride, the staff they needed for another location became available, which made the opportunity a little more appealing. It didn't take long for Loló Cevicheria to became a popular neighborhood spot, with its pared-down menu of tacos and small plates.
It ended up filling a a vacant niche category in the Mission District.
The good news? Martinez said this isn't the end for Loló Cervicheria.
"We're already looking for another location for the restaurant," he said.

Chapter 291 What would you do if I die?
"Stop!"
The policeman's voice just sounded behind me.
I didn't care so much at all. I rushed straight in to the doorway, and I stooped down across the cordon into the hallway.
The corridor was empty and there was no one here.
For a moment I didn't know where to go.
When I hesitated, the police had caught up and held my arm directly. He yelled, "Are you a journalist?"
"No!" My arm was twisted and pressed by the police, and I couldn't turn back. I could only say, "I'm really the fiancee of the dean. He didn't go home. Tomorrow is his birthday, so I'm worried!"
I knew it was impossible for me to escape.
The police listened and hesitated. "Do you have a picture of you?"
A picture of us?
I thought about it and shook my head. "No."
"You don't even have a photo of both of you. And you tell me you are boyfriend and girlfriend. How could I believe that?" The police were angry. "I think you are a journalist!"
As he said, he took out the phone and called directly. "You send someone to the Sunshine Hospital. I caught a journalist."
I was anxious, "I'm really not a journalist! I'm a designer, and I can prove it!"
"Designer?" The police let me go, "Prove it."
I quickly took out my phone and looked up some of my old news from the internet for the police.
Fortunately, there were some interviews about me I have had before.
The policeman pressed me with one hand and held the cell phone with another hand. After watching the news, he stared at me suspiciously and said, "Although you prove that you are not a journalist, you cannot prove your relationship with the dean. I cannot tell you what happened."
"Then tell me if there are any dead in the hospital."
That is enough!
The policeman looked at me hesitantly and said, "I can only tell you that the dean is still alive."
These words made me feel at ease.
My nervousness calmed down.
But I quickly responded, "If he is alive, why is his phone turned off? Is something wrong? Is he injured?"
"No! If you do not leave now, my colleague will come and take you to the police station."
The police was getting tired of me.
However, I also saw that he really couldn't say anything about the hospital.
I had to leave the hospital.
When I got home, I checked it online. Sure enough, I found some news about the hospital.
I learned from the online news that the MERS epidemic was found in the Sunshine Hospital, and the entire hospital was now blocked.
I checked MERS online again.
I found out that this was a respiratory disease caused by a new coronavirus. This infectious disease was similar to SARS but had a higher lethality.
I panicked when I knew the news.
Will Ming be infected? Will he be okay?
"Happy broken pupa, gorgeous new impulse..."
When I was in a panic, my phone rang!
It was Ming!
I have never felt so excited at the moment because I saw Ming's phone!
"Ming, are you okay?" When I answered the phone, I asked first.
The phone was silent for a while before the man said, "Do you know all?"
Ming's voice was raucous and full of fatigue.
"I looked it up online. Some people said there was MERS virus in your hospital. I know it is a very contagious virus. Where are you now? Is everything okay? Are you infected?"
I asked several questions quickly.
But there were more questions in my mind.
I can not wait to see him!
"Well." He said calmly, "No, I am fine. That is... The hospital is blocked, so I can not get out."
Ming's voice had always been soft before.
But I could hear the husky voice in his voice this time. It was like an inflamed throat. I was nervous. "Are you sick?"
"No, I, uh..."
Ming tried to say something, but suddenly he coughed.
It was only a very light sound.
Apparently, Ming covered the phone when he realized he was going to cough, but he slowed down a bit and I heard that sound.
"You are sick!" At this moment, I finally realized he was in danger, "You are infected?"
"No." Ming quickly denied, "But we may not be able to celebrate my birthday together."
Because I just checked it online, and I was fully aware that...
"You are quarantined, are not you?" I asked Ming.
"You lied to me!" I have got a lot on my mind. "Ming, can you tell me clearly your situation? Don't make me worry!"
After I spoke, the phone fell silent again.
This silence was the kind of complete silence.
I guessed Ming must be coughing. He was afraid I could hear it. I simply said, "Don't cover the microphone. I can hear it!"
"Is that so?" The man suddenly spoke and coughed before saying, "I am so glad to hear that you are worried about me."
"I am really worried about you." I had no intention of covering up my thoughts and I said to him, "If you don't tell me what is going on over there, I will leave with Lester."
"All right." Hearing what I said, Ming quickly agreed.
I had my cell phone in my hands, and I was so nervous.
Although I wanted to know the situation over there, I was extremely nervous, and I was afraid to hear Ming was infected.
Because I learned from the Internet that even if this disease can be cured, it will cause great damage to the patient's body.
My ear was pressed against the phone, and I could hear a little heavy breathing from the man, so I made sure he did not cover the microphone.
A moment later, I heard him say, "I have a fever."
I was nervous again
He continued, "A few days ago, a patient was admitted to the hospital and had a fever. He started to experience kidney failure yesterday. I found out that he was infected with MERS. Now that patient has died, and we immediately told the CDC about this news."
"Later, people were sent over to block the hospital and observe the patients. The patients have all left now. There are only doctors in the hospital who are in close contact with the deceased. At present, two people have a fever. Unfortunately, I am one of them."
I listened to Ming, and my heart was perturbed.
I held the phone and asked him with courage, "That means you are infected?"
I was really afraid the answer was yes.
However, he asked me, "If I am infected and could die at any time, what are you going to do?"
"I will not allow it!"
Hearing what he said, I felt fierce heartache!
At this moment, I really found that he was very important to me!

Breaking News: Court Stops FG From Seizing Ex-Zamfara Governor's Assets
The judge further barred ICPC and AGF from infringing on Yari's fundamental rights as enshrined in sections 34, 35, 37, 41 and 43 of the 1999 Constitution, as amended.
The Federal High Court sitting in Abuja, on Monday, restrained the Independent Corrupt Practices and other related offences Commission, ICPC, and the Attorney General of the Federation, AGF, from seizing or interfering with assets and properties belonging to the immediate past Governor of Zamfara State, Abdulazeez Yari.
The court, in a ruling that was delivered by Justice Taiwo Taiwo, made the restraining order following an ex-parte motion Yari filed through his lawyer, Mahmud Magaji, SAN.
Justice Taiwo further barred the Respondents to the motion (ICPC and AGF), from infringing on Yari's fundamental rights as enshrined in sections 34, 35, 37, 41 and 43 of the 1999 Constitution, as amended.
He held that all the parties should maintain status quo ante bellum, pending the hearing and determination of the fundamental right enforcement suit Yari filed before the Court.
It will be recalled that the court had last Friday, also granted ICPC the nod to freeze six separate bank accounts belonging to Yari and two firms that were linked to him.
Meanwhile, Justice Taiwo said his later ruling would not affect Yari's funds in Polaris and Zenith banks, which he ordered ICPC to freeze.
Specifically, he granted Yari's prayer for: "An order of interim injunction retraining the respondents from seizing, impounding, taking over, confiscating or otherwise forfeiting the assets and properties of the applicant wherever they may be located within Nigeria or anywhere else in the world pending the hearing and determination of the hearing and determination of the notion on notice
"An order of interim injunction restraining the respondents from unlawfully interfering with the Applicant's rights to Sections 34, 35, 37, 41 and 43 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended) until the hearing and determination of the substantive suit.
As well as, "An order of this honourable court directing the parties to maintain status quo pending the hearing and determination of the substantive suit".
On his grounds for the approaching the court, Yari who was the erstwhile Chairman of the Nigerian Governors Forum, said he had been subjected to various forms of intimidation, arrest and detention, based on spurious allegations some powerful elements of the All Progressives Congress, APC, levelled against him.
He said: "These individuals thus decided to carry out a vendetta and revenge against the applicant including instigating the respondents against the applicant upon their spurious conclusion without evidence that the applicant was guilty of corrupt practices as former governor of Zamfara State and was in breach of the Code of Conduct Act.
"This witch-hunt, is clearly politically motivated, baseless, and has been designed only to discredit and humiliate the applicant in a bid to decimate him politically and this court is statutory empowered to protect any violation against the applicant's fundamental rights.
"The 1st and 2nd respondents are determined on a follow up attack upon the applicant and his family by the use of allegations of wrongdoing which had been concocted against the applicant in 2019 immediately the Supreme Court decided all elected officials of the All Progressives Congress (APC) should step aside for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as an excuse to arrest the applicant and his wife and to arraign them on trumped up charges.
"The agents of the 2nd respondent invaded the applicant's private residence and nothing incriminating was ever found against The Applicant despite the several investigations carried out by the respondents.
"The applicant is the immediate past Executive Governor of Zamfara State and before then he was elected into the House of Representatives.
"The applicant states that he has been having series of harassment and intimidation by the agents of the respondent some arisen from the lost of the All Progressives Congress in Zamfara State to the Peoples Democratic Party.
"The said lost arose from the decision of the Supreme Court wherein the court directed that all the elected officers in Zamfara State should vacate office for the 2nd runner up of the 2019 General Election", Yari added.
ICPC had told the court that it was investigating the former governor based on intelligence report that he diverted public funds into his personal accounts, as well as funds that belonged to the Nigerian Governors Forum while he held sway as its Chairman.

On behalf of Butler Giraudo & Meister posted in Child Custody on Friday, May 30, 2014.
For parents with minor-aged children, matters related to child custody are among some of the most difficult and emotionally charged of all divorce issues. In some cases involving children under the age of 18, parents are able to agree upon child custody and visitation matters. In many cases, however, parents have strong differing opinions on what's best for a child. When this happens, parents must turn to the courts to help determine child custody matters.
There are a number of factors that must be taken into consideration when determining the terms of a child custody agreement. Through a process known as child custody mediation, both parents are required to meet with a court-appointed mediator who works with both parents to devise a workable and agreeable parenting plan. While a judge has the last say in finalizing a child custody agreement, he or she will rely heavily upon the mediator's recommendations and proposed parenting plan.
In every child custody mediation, the court-appointed mediator works to devise a parenting plan that serves to meet the best interests of the child. It's important, therefore, that a parent is prepared to voice his or her opinions and concerns related to the child's physical and emotional safety and wellbeing.
For most parents, issues related to child custody are highly emotional. It's wise, therefore, to write concerns down prior to the formal mediation and to clearly communicate one's opinions and concerns during mediation. Additionally, a parent may present the mediator with the names and contact information of so-called collateral contacts such as teachers, medical providers and counselors that may be able to provide additional information and insight about a child.
When possible, parents are also advised to reach out to an ex-spouse and attempt to work out certain issues prior to mediation. Being able to agree upon some issues prior to a child custody mediation helps bring peace of mind and, in many cases, sets a positive tone for the mediation process. Parents should not, however, feel pressured into signing any agreement with which they are not comfortable. Throughout the entire process, a divorce attorney can answer questions and provide advice.

Draft Guide Can Help Energy Companies Reduce Cyber Risk
The National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) is requesting comments on a draft guide to help energy companies better control who has access to their networked resources, including buildings, equipment, information technology and industrial control systems. The center, part of the U.S. Commerce Department's National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), works with IT developers and providers to help businesses reduce their cyber risk.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security reported that 5 percent of the cybersecurity incidents its Industrial Control Systems Cyber Emergency Response Team responded to in fiscal year 2014 were tied to weak authentication. Four percent were tied to abuse of access authority. The guide, Identity and Access Management for Electric Utilities, could help energy companies reduce their risk by showing them how they can control access to facilities and devices from a single console.
"The guide demonstrates how organizations can reduce their risk and gain efficiencies in identity and access management," said Donna Dodson, director of the NCCoE. "It provides step-by-step instructions to help organizations as they tackle the challenges of identity and access management."
To develop the guide, NCCoE researchers met with representatives from the energy sector to identify their cybersecurity challenges. Often, identity management is controlled by numerous departments within a single company. For example, different people and systems control the company's information technology (e.g., business systems), operational technology (which controls the production and distribution of energy), and physical access to facilities. Yet, unauthorized access to any one of these systems could affect the entire company.
This decentralization of identity management makes it difficult to trace the sources of attack or disruption, and to establish accountability.
The draft guide includes two versions of an end-to-end identity management solution that provides access control capabilities to reduce opportunities for cyber attack or human error. It also takes into account the risks that centralized control can present.
In collaboration with experts from the energy sector (mainly electric power companies) and those who provide equipment and services to them, NCCoE staff developed a use case scenario to describe a security challenge based on normal day-to-day business operations. The scenario centers on a utility technician who has access to several physical substations and to remote terminal units connected to the company's network in those substations. She leaves the company, and her privileges need to be revoked, but without a centralized identity management system, managing routine events like this one can become cumbersome and time-consuming. A centralized access control system would make changing or revoking her privileges simple and quick.
While the reference solution was demonstrated with a certain suite of products, the guide does not endorse these products in particular. Instead, it presents the characteristics and capabilities that an organization's security experts can use to identify similar standards-based products that can be integrated quickly and cost-effectively with an energy provider's existing tools and infrastructure.
The draft guide provides detailed example solutions using multiple products that achieve the same result, and instructions for implementers and security engineers, including examples of all the necessary components and installation, configuration and integration.
The draft guide also maps security characteristics to guidance and best practices from NIST and other standards organizations, and to North American Electric Reliability Corporation's Critical Infrastructure Protection standards. The guide is modular and suitable for organizations of all sizes, including corporate and regional business offices, power generation plants and substations. They can adopt this solution or one that adheres to these guidelines in whole, or use the guide as a starting point for tailoring and implementing parts of a solution.
The draft guide can be found on the NCCoE website. Comments should be submitted via an online form or to energy_nccoe [at] nist.gov by October 23, 2015.
The NCCoE is the U.S. cybersecurity national lab, addressing businesses' most pressing cybersecurity problems with practical, standards-based solutions using commercially available technologies. The center collaborates with industry, academic and government experts to build modular, open, end-to-end reference designs that are broadly applicable and repeatable.

At people&baby, all our centres are approved by French Mother and Child Protective Services (PMI) and eligible for subsidies from the French Family Allowance Office (CAF).
French mother and child protective services (PMI)
Under the authority of the departmental board president, mother and child protective services (service de protection maternelle et infantile) (PMI) is responsible for ensuring the health of young children.
The PMI plays a vital role in young children's lives. It intervenes in new childcare centre projects. For instance, it reviews technical details with developers and towns as new childcare centres are being developed (new centres, the size and quality of teams, operating regulations, safety standards, etc.) until they are authorised to open.
To obtain authorisation to open, a doctor from the PMI does a tour of the centre. The purpose of this tour is to evaluate if the premises and design meet the health and safety standards for the age and needs of the children to be cared for.
After new centres open, they are audited and monitored by PMI officials.
The French family allowance office (CAF)
As we develop our network of centres, people&baby works in direct collaboration with the French Family Allowance Office (Caisses d'Allocations Familiales) (CAF).
The CAF keeps people&baby informed of childcare needs in France. It also reviews the viability of a project and helps fund some construction costs. people&baby teams and CAF advisers work together to come up with the best childcare solutions for families.
people&baby centres are audited every year by the CAF, which checks to make sure we are respecting current legislation and verifies our quality of service. By adhering to all standards, particularly in terms of family contribution costs, all people&baby centres are eligible for CAF subsidies. Parents enjoy the same rates in our multi-formula centres as they do in public facilities.

Santa Rosa Beach, in Florida's Walton County, is a quiet place with sugar-white sand, a pleasant surf and signs warning visitors to stay out. The largely rural county on Florida's Panhandle is at the center of a battle over one of the state's most precious resources: its beaches. Most of the 26 miles of beaches are already privately owned. As of July 1, homeowners with beachfront property in Walton County can declare their beach private and off-limits to the public. The new law has sparked a standoff between wealthy homeowners and other local residents.
In Walton County and in Tallahassee, where Gov. Rick Scott signed it into law, an earlier version of the bill was known as the "Huckabee amendment." Fox News commentator and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee has a beachfront house in Santa Rosa Beach. Since the bill went into effect, opponents of the law have speculated about Huckabee's role in getting it passed.
