The Park Tunnel
NOTTINGHAM PARK, the "Coney Garth" " or rabbit warren, as it was sometimes called, of Nottingham Castle, has a curious history whose story it would take long to unfold.
Suffice it to say that it was supplied with fishponds and was stocked with deer until 1717, when the herd was sold, although carted stag's were sometimes hunted here till about 1790.
These deer were objects of interest to a little army of poachers, amongst whom Thomas Booth, whose tombstone may be studied on the south wall of St. Nicholas' Church, was perhaps the most notorious.
The first house to be built in the Park was erected in 1827, but about 1850 when the estate was taken seriously in hand and developed for building purposes it was intended to make the main entrance through the tunnel from Derby-road.
Mr. T. C. Hine was the engineer of the project, and the Duke of Newcastle agreed that the gradient should not be more than one in fourteen.
However, it turned out to be one in twelve, which was found to be too severe, and other entrances to the estate had to be arranged.
The old tunnel, with its wealth of greenery and the soft yellows of its sandstone, is a very picturesque spectacle and a curious feature of the city.


Lakshmi Veeramasuneni (Sue) is a licensed realtor and speaks 3 languages, English, Hindi and Telugu. She went to catholic school while growing up in multiple cultures and religion believes. She is a proud immigrant and US Citizen combining the best of the both worlds and resident of Wheaton for over 12 years.
She bought, sold, remodeled houses and spent countless hours, sleepless nights with ever ending choices, options and confusion and many. At the end she gained valuable experience from lessons learned. With that experience she helped friends and family to find the best homes in South Western Suburbs as someone that has been though that complicated process.
Been through with good and bad experiences of buying and selling homes, she totally can understand first time or even second time buyers or sellers roller coasters of emotions.
In the industry many buyers and sellers mentioned selling or buying real- estate is combination of Confusing, Frustrating, Overwhelming, Disappointing, Shocking, Annoying experience filled with Nervousness, Foolishness, Oblivious, Remorseful feelings instead of Optimistic, Exciting, Encouraging, Relieving, Grateful, Fruitful, Hopeful and feeling being Smart.
She believes it doesn't have to be that way. She doesn't believe "getting done" is an option for few but "getting done the right way" is her way of solution. She listens, learns and understands her buyers and seller's needs, wants and desires to find the right solution to make their dreams come to reality. After all home is a sweet home.
She says, "Home is a castle of happiness, a place to share memories, a place to share hope and dreams...At the end it is an American Dream earned with hardworking money". The need and thought of finding sweet home is exciting for many while erasing foot prints for few with life time disasters of Death, Divorce and Unemployment. Buying, Selling or Upgrading is an emotional roller costar of emotion. Regardless it's a place for families to be together to grow, to share with friends and family with pride.
Sue understands the pain, she understands the gain, she understands the importance of your castle, your lovely home, and your sweet home as she always says "There is no better vacation other than your own home".
She believes opportunity is priceless; instead of waiting for it, she should find that opportunity, while doing everything possible and do whatever it takes for those who put their trust and confidence in her.
She welcomes that opportunity to work with potential buyers and sellers who are in the market at present or future regardless of that need is first time, second time, upgrade, moving, investment or even with desperation.

I don't like her outfit - she does not look good in sleeveless tops or dresses.
Why not! She has very toned arms. Very beautiful.
I like it very much. I think she is great.
Elegante y hermosa reina. Su estado de forma es magnífico.
I just love how she seems actually genuinely focused on what she is doing. Not on her hair or outfits.

Every Cock Has A Story
Magdalena W
Comedy, Events & Festivals, Reviews, Venues
The late hour and unbearable heat was not enough to deter the crowds gathering at the Katacombes last Wednesday night. The Zoofest show "Pretending Things Are A Cock" conjures up a few questions in mind like "Is this what I think it is?", "How is this a thing?" and "Why?".
Yes, it is what you think it is but it's so much more. The Australian comedian, Jon Bennett, travelled the world for years taking pictures of himself pretending things are his cock. This show is a documentation of those travels and the stories he's gathered along the way.
It's a beautiful story, if you can call it that, about a man whose obsession has turned into a touching, insightful and hilarious look into his own life.
The hundreds of images of famous monuments (the Golden Gate Bridge, Big Ben, the Statue of Liberty), objects (door snakes, the Stanley Cup, thongs – the ones you wear on your feet) and people construed into playing the part of his cock are the building blocks of this amazing show.
It all begins, and perhaps explains the "why?", at his childhood. Growing up in rural Australia in a family with a serious Pentecostal father and a dick-obsessed older brother. Jon bonds with the audience members who suffered at the hands of an older sibling, asking those who were the bullies of their families what they did to torment the younger ones. When a self-announced bully in the audience couldn't come up with anything Jon said "the older ones never remember!".
With this, he sets the tone for a rollercoaster of cringe-worthy moments, unbelievable stories and everlasting friendship that have the audience captivated in fits of laughter (the guy next to me choked on his beer at one point).
At the end of it all I felt like I had spent the evening with an old friend, recounting stories of his travels and leaving me dying to hear more.
Jon is a charismatic and engaging performer whose storytelling ability can capture the heart of any audience.
This is a must-see show so don't miss the last three dates of "Pretending Things Are A Cock".

Q: jQuery datepicker begin at future date I have added a jQuery date picker into my site but do not want anyone to be able to select a date before 1st June 2014. With the code I have it is fine but it changes every day! The datepicker has been on my site now for 9 days and I set it to 1st June 2014, problem is as each day passes the calender changes. Currently I am able to only select from 10th June! I think this must be because of the minDate setting but how do i stop this from changing every day? Thank you for any help.
Code as follows:
    <script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function() {
    $("#datepicker").datepicker({minDate: 129, maxDate: "+5Y", changeMonth: true,changeYear: true, showButtonPanel: true, dateFormat: 'dd MM yy'});
    });

    $('#form').on('submit', function(){
    return $('#email').val() == $('#emailConfirmation').val();
    });
</script>

A: You can just set the minDate to a specific date instead of number of days from today
$("#datepicker").datepicker({
    minDate: '06 June 2014',
    maxDate: "+5Y",
    changeMonth: true,
    changeYear: true,
    showButtonPanel: true,
    dateFormat: 'dd MM yy'
});

FIDDLE

A: $(function () {
     $("#datepicker").datepicker({
         minDate: new Date(2014, 5, 1)
     });
});

Apple's iPhone XR is winning over Android users: report
The dark horse shines through.
By Matt Binder Dec. 27, 2018
Apple may be experiencing a slump in demand for its latest iPhone models, but it is winning over one very interesting group of smartphone owners: Android users.
The lower-priced iPhone XR, the latest in Apple's current generation of iPhones, has been wooing more Android users to make the switch than previous models. A new report by Consumer Intelligence Research Partners found that users upgrading from an Android phone made up 16 percent of iPhone buyers in the month after the launch of the iPhone XR in October 2018.
After the launch of the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus in September 2017, 12 percent who upgraded to Apple's phones were Android users. Following the launch of the iPhone X in November of that year, those purchasing phones powered by Google's mobile operating system had made up 11 percent of iPhone buyers.
The report also found that iPhone XR, with a starting price of $749, is the more popular of the latest iPhone models. The XR accounted for a total of 32 percent of Phone sales in the U.S. in that same 30-day period while sales for the pricier iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max made up a combined total of 35 percent of iPhone sales in the U.S.
SEE ALSO: Apple reveals the most popular iPhone apps of 2018
Amid reports of stagnant iPhone sales and a decline in demand for Apple's smartphone, the Cupertino-based company announced in November that they would no longer be reporting sales numbers for its products. However, while still not giving specifics, Apple has said that the more affordable iPhone XR has been more popular than the XS and XS Max.
While Apple contemplates the future generations of its smartphone, it will surely look at what the iPhone XR offers thats wooing former users of its fiercest competition.

The one thing the Indians' oft-critiqued offseason retooling did was leave the club little margin for error if the starting rotation crumbled.
In the 2019 Indians instruction manual, there's a chapter for how to piece together a sound bullpen with the relievers at hand. There's a similar chapter about the batting order, though it's written in hieroglyphics and in invisible ink.
There is no chapter for how to cope with a group of struggling starters. Once the front office decided to retain the right arms it dangled on the trade market, that left the club no option but to attempt to ride its starting pitching to the postseason.
That unit needed to be the team strength, the one constant, especially during an April of discontent. With Eric Stamets, he of the Antarctic wRC+ (-44), filling in for Francisco Lindor, the tallest order was supposed to arrive early. And, hey, it's better for issues to surface in April than in August.


Large High Altitude Air Shower Observation (LHAASO), located in Daocheng Haizishan, 4300m a.s.l., Sichuan Province, Chain, is under construction now and is expected to be completely operated by 2021. One of the main science objects of LHAASO is to precisely measure the cosmic rays energy spectrum of individual components from 1014 eV to 1018 eV. LHAASO is consist of four types of detectors: the Water Cherenkov Detector Array (WCDA), the Wide Field-of-View Cherenkov Telescope Array (WFCTA), electromagnetic detector array with an effective area of 1 km2 (KM2A-ED) and Muon detector array (KM2A-MD). In this work, several mass sensitive parameters measured by LHAASO hybrid detection are presented; and primary particle identification is carried out through TMVA analysis. The proton and a mixed proton and helium sample are selected with a purity of 90% and 95% respectively. Furthermore, the expected energy spectrum of light components of CRs is given.

Home » Andrew Sullivan: Christianists?
Ah! Answering my own question by actually searching Sullivan's website. (I know, what a genius am I?) He explains it here.
Yes. I mean by it the complete conflation of Christian faith and secular politics of the hard right. I don't see why I should concede my faith or my politics to those who share neither.
So he doesn't concede his faith or politics by creating a new label and category in which to put other people?

El Sahara español o Sáhara español (en árabe, , al-ṣaḥrāʾ al-ʾisbānīyya) es un territorio que ha sido provincia y colonia española desde 1884 hasta los acuerdos de Madrid de 14 de noviembre de 1975, nulos de pleno derecho según el derecho internacional.

Toponimia

Su nombre deriva del desierto del Sahara. Desde 1884 hasta 1958 su denominación oficial fue Posesiones Españolas en el Sahara. Entre 1958 y 1976 fue denominado oficialmente provincia del Sahara.

Geografía
Su territorio se halla situado en la parte nordoccidental del continente africano, y en la zona considerada subtropical. El trópico de Cáncer corta el territorio a la altura de la punta de la Sarga, en la península de Río de Oro. Limitaba al norte con Marruecos, al nordeste con Argelia, al este y al sur con Mauritania, y al oeste con el océano Atlántico, entre los paralelos 20º 45' y 27º 40' de latitud norte. Tenía una extensión de 280 000 km² y su costa, una longitud de 1200 kilómetros.

Historia

1884ː Fundación de Villa Cisneros
El 15 de octubre de 1884 el militar Emilio Bonelli, como representante de la Sociedad Española de Africanistas y Colonistas y con el apoyo de Antonio Cánovas del Castillo, emprendió una expedición a consecuencia de los intereses pesqueros de España, especialmente canarios, en la zona. Reconoció la costa entre cabo Bojador y cabo Blanco y el 4 de noviembre fundó Villa Cisneros, primer establecimiento español del Sahara. Además, se fundaron dos establecimientos más, uno en cabo Blanco, al que dio el nombre de Medina Gatell; y otro en Angra de Cintra, con el nombre de Puerto Badía. España anunció su soberanía sobre el territorio el 26 de diciembre de 1884. Por lo tanto, durante la conferencia de Berlín, la región situada entre el cabo Bojador y el cabo Blanco fue reclamada y concedida a España en 1884.

La Güera se ocupó efectivamente en 1920. Fue inicialmente una colonia separada, resultando anexada al Río de Oro en 1924. Tras la Expedición de Adrar de 1886 de Julio Cervera, Francisco Quiroga y Felipe Rizzo España reclamó sin éxito los derechos sobre el territorio de Adrar, que tras el tratado de París quedó bajo soberanía de la colonia francesa de Mauritania. En 1912 el tratado de Fez entre Francia y España reconoció los límites y soberanía española de la colonia del Sahara español, Ifni, y el protectorado español de Marruecos y la soberanía francesa del protectorado francés de Marruecos.

1938ː Fundación de El Aaiún
En 1934 el comandante Antonio de Oro y el capitán Galo Bullón Díaz llegaron hasta el puesto de vigilancia de los Izarguien el Hamra, y en 1938 fundaron el establecimiento militar fijo de El Aaiún, que en 1940 fue designada oficialmente ciudad capital Sahara Español en detrimento de Villa Cisneros.

1957ː guerra de Ifni-Sahara

En 1958 se abandonó el sistema administrativo de la agrupación de colonias españolas en el África Occidental Española. El Sahara español pasó a tener categoría de provincia española.

Hasta los acuerdos de Cintra (2 de abril de 1958), el límite concreto y pragmático del Sáhara Occidental (y entonces Sahara español) estaba dado por la vaguada del río Draa; es decir, incluía la franja de Tarfaya, que en esa época fue entregada al emirato de Marruecos.

En 1962 el INI comienza las prospecciones de Bucraa para la puesta en explotación del fabuloso yacimiento de fosfatos descubierto en 1958 por el geólogo Manuel Alía Medina. Además, se acometió la construcción de una cintra transportadora kilométrica para la exportación del mineral vía marítima por el cargadero de El Marsa.

En 1967 Basiri se instaló en Esmara como maestro coránico, huyendo de las autoridades marroquíes por su discurso nacionalista saharaui en el periódico Al-Shihab (La Antorcha), cuya fundación había impulsado. El 11 de diciembre de 1969 fundó el partido político clandestino nacionalista e independentista Organización Avanzada para la Liberación de Saguia el Hamra y Río de Oro o Movimiento de Liberación (Harakat Tahrir en árabe). Fue ejecutado  extrajudicialmente tras las protestas de Zemla de 1970.

1973: Fos Bucraa y el Frente Polisario
En 1973 el Sahara español, especialmente El Aaiun, experimentó un auge económico por la puesta en explotación de la mina de FosBucraa. Ese año el proyecto nacionalista de Basiri fue recuperado, dando lugar a la fundación del partido político clandestino Frente Polisario en la población minera de Zouérate (Mauritania), cuyo primer secretario general fue Brahim Gali, de Esmara.

El Frente Polisario inició una serie de atentados terroristas contra la Fuerzas Armadas, la Administración del Sahara español y civiles, combates basados en una estrategia de guerra de guerrillas, la primera en el mundo organizada en un desierto y a gran escala, como el atentado contra el Puesto de Gobierno de Tifariti de agosto de 1974 o el secuestro de Antonio Martín de 1975.

A finales de 1974 se impulsó un partido legal proespañol, el Partido de Unión Nacional Saharaui (PUNS), creado para controlar la posibilidad de la autonomía redactando un borrador de estatuto de autonomía. Existía una asamblea de notables, la Djema'a, con limitadas capacidades de gobierno.

Por último, España comunicó a la ONU la intención de celebrar un referéndum de autodeterminación en 1975, quien así lo dispuso en su resolución 3458 B del 10 de diciembre de 1975.

El 16 de octubre de 1975 Tribunal Internacional de Justicia emitió una opinión no vinculante acerca del estatus del Sahara español. Indicó que la región no era terra nullius (tierra de nadie) antes de la colonización española y dictaminó que "ni los actos internos ni los internacionales en que se basa Marruecos indican, en el período pertinente, la existencia o el reconocimiento internacional de vínculos jurídicos de soberanía territorial entre el Sáhara Occidental y el Estado marroquí. Incluso teniendo en cuenta la estructura específica de ese Estado, no muestran que Marruecos ejerciera ninguna actividad estatal efectiva y exclusiva en el Sahara Occidental".En el contexto político de la crisis final del franquismo, el 21 de octubre el ministro-secretario general del Movimiento José Solís se negoció con Hassan II en Marruecos la resolución de la crisis con Marruecos a cuenta del territorio del Sahara español.El 28 de octubre comenzó la operación Golondrina para la evacuación de Mahbes, Edchera y Hausa, donde en agosto se había producido un ataque del FLU. La operación consistía en la salida del Sahara de un total de 10.000 civiles, 7.000 militares y miles toneladas de equipo y vehículos.

Invasión de Marruecosː Marcha Verde de 6 de noviembre de 1975
Las perspectivas de que, tras la descolonización de España, fuera a constituirse un territorio independiente no satisficieron a Marruecos, que hábilmente aprovechó la debilidad política de España e hizo ver a EE.UU. los riesgos de los intereses de Argelia en el Sahara dentro del contexto de la Guerra Fría Árabe. Por lo tanto, el 6 de noviembre de 1975 Marruecos invadió la frontera norte del Sahara español mediante la Marcha Verde (organizada por el rey Hassan II de Marruecos con el respaldo efectivo pero no oficial de EE.UU.), sin llegar hasta las posiciones de los militares españoles.

Días después de la Marcha Verde, el 14 de noviembre de 1975, España firmó los Acuerdos de Madrid. Se estableció entonces una administración temporal tripartita constituida por España, Marruecos y Mauritania. El 27 de noviembre la VII Bandera de la Legión entregó Esmara a Marruecos.

Operación Golondrinaː 26 de febrero de 1976

Tras el Acuerdo Tripartito de Madrid, España interrumpió su proceso de descolonización y abandonó el territorio pero sin traspasar su soberanía sobre el mismo ni su condición de potencia administradora. El Ejército español abandonó definitivamente el Sahara español el 26 de febrero de 1976 con la culminación de la operación Golondrina, que supuso una importante labor logística para en 160 días lograr la repatriación de personas civiles y militares, además de intendencia, enseres y pertenencias de toda clase.El 28 de febrero de 1976 se arrió por última vez la bandera Española en el edificio de Gobierno General del Sahara de El Aaiún.

Desde entonces, el territorio que ocupó el Sahara español es denominado Sahara Occidental y es un territorio en disputa. Es disputado por Marruecos (Región de El Aaiún-Saguía el-Hamra y Región de Dajla-Río de Oro), que ocupa efectivamente el territorio,  y la República Árabe Saharaui Democrática.

Organización territorial
El Sahara Español tenía dos subdivisiones: el norte se denominó Saguía el Hamra y el sur Río de Oro.

Saguia el Hamra

Saguia el Hamra es el territorio correspondiente a la zona septentrional de la antigua provincia española del Sáhara Español. En un principio fue una colonia española en el Sáhara, pero más tarde fue unido a Río de Oro. Tenía una superficie aproximada de 82 000 km². La capital era El Aaiún. Otra población importante era Smara, fundada por Ma el Ainin y considerada centro religioso.

Su denominación, que podría traducirse en español como "arroyo rojo", proviene del gran arroyo homónimo, que desembocaba unos kilómetros al oeste de El Aaiún, un poco al norte de su puerto.

Del cabo Bojador partía la línea divisoria con el territorio de Río de Oro, ubicada en el paralelo 26º que le servía como frontera sur. El paralelo 27º 40' marcaba la frontera con los territorios del Protectorado español de Marruecos al norte.

Río de Oro

Río de Oro (Ued el Dahab en árabe) es uno de los dos territorios en que se dividía el Sáhara español antes de la creación de la provincia de ultramar (1958). Su capital era Villa Cisneros (actual Dajla). En un principio constituía la Colonia de Río de Oro, que posteriormente creció al añadirse la Saguía el Hamra. Con una superficie de 184 000 km², ocupaba la zona central y meridional del territorio.

Atravesada por el trópico de Cáncer, el paralelo 26º marcaba su frontera septentrional, con Saguia el Hamra. El límite sur era el cabo Blanco, una península en la que se halla la población de La Güera, la cual fue anexionada por Mauritania entre 1976 y 1979.La frontera establecida entre las zonas ocupadas por Mauritana y Marruecos comenzaba en la costa, a unos 35 km al norte de Villa Cisneros, en el paralelo 24º, y terminaba en la frontera con Mauritania, a la altura del trópico de Cáncer (23º27').

La denominación original del río se debe a que en 1442 unos portugueses parecen haber obtenido un poco de oro en polvo a cambio de sus mercancías, y creyeron haber descubierto un rico país aurífero.

Llegó una expedición española ya en los años 1885 y 1886 a declarar que no existía río alguno que desembocara en el golfo, pudiendo llevar a una posible equivocación la forma larga y estrecha del golfo que los descubridores portugueses tomaron por el estuario de un río.

Inicialmente se entregaba el mismo diseño que el resto del país, pero posteriormente se entregó una segunda versión que se diferenciaba del resto por su color rojo, y el pasaporte españoles, junto con el libro de familia, y todos los documentos correspondientes. Este hecho demostraba la plena nacionalidad española de sus habitantes y fue esgrimido en los recursos realizados por ciudadanos saharahuis a fin de demostrar que su pérdida era nula, dado que ningún nacional español puede ser desprovisto de ella y así fue reconocido por el Tribunal Supremo.

Matriculación de vehículos

La matrícula de la provincia era «SH», y a partir de 1971 funcionó con sistema alfanumérico, a semejanza del resto de provincias. Tras el abandono del territorio saharaui en 1976, España estableció un breve periodo de transición para que los vehículos con matrícula SH cambiaran su matrícula por otra de otra provincia española; pasado dicho periodo, España dejó de reconocer como matrículas españolas válidas todas las matrículas que empezaban por SH.

Tercios Saharianos

En junio de 1956 se crea la XIII Bandera para operar en el entonces conocido como territorio del África Occidental Española. La presencia legionaria se inicia con el desembarco de esta bandera en Hasi Aotman (inmediaciones de El Aaiún) el 1 de julio de 1956. La XIII Bandera se creó específicamente para prestar servicio en esta provincia, permaneciendo en ella hasta junio de 1969 en que será disuelta y sus componentes pasarán a prestar servicio en los Tercios Saharianos.

En agosto de 1958 se ordena el traslado desde el protectorado del 3º y 4º Tercios al Sahara Español y añaden a su nombre el apelativo de "saharianos". El 3º Tercio "Don Juan de Austria" se instala en Sidi Buya (El Aaiún) y el 4º Tercio "Alejandro Farnesio" en Villa Cisneros.

Los Tercios Saharianos tenían una orgánica propia, encuadrando cada uno de ellos, además de las Banderas de Infantería, a un Grupo Ligero de Caballería (I en el 3º y II en el 4º) y una Batería de Artillería (estas últimas fueron disueltas en 1964). Además el 3º Tercio contó con una Compañía de Carros de Combate AMX-30E, compañía denominada "BAKALI" en recuerdo al héroe legionario Daniel Gómez Pérez, precursor del arma acorazada en España.

Tras el repliegue ordenado por el gobierno de Madrid, que se efectuó de forma escalonada, el Grupo Ligero de Caballería II fue la última unidad en abandonar el territorio embarcando en Villa Cisneros el 11 de enero de 1976; quedando acuartelado el 3º Tercio en Puerto del Rosario (Fuerteventura) Fuerteventura y el 4º Tercio disuelto.

Agrupación de Tropas Nómadas

La primera unidad de tipo militar que se creó fue la Mía de Policía a Pie en Cabo Juby en 1926, integrada por nativos y mandada por oficiales españoles. Creada para el control de la frontera con Marruecos, así como el mantenimiento del orden y la vigilancia de sus costas.

El 13 de octubre de 1928 nacen las Tropas de Policía del Sáhara dotados de dromedarios con el principal objetivo de asegurar la fidelidad de los jefes tribales.

Las dos unidades se organizan así:
 Mando
 Tres secciones de tiradores
 Pelotón de Armas de Apoyo
 Tren de Convoy

La Mía Montada se organiza en fergas; constando su uniforme de:
 Camisa (aderraj) blanca bajo otra azul oscuro
 Pantalón ancho (zerual) de color blanco, garbanzo o azul oscuro
 Turbante (lesa) del mismo color que el pantalón

Durante la Guerra Civil (1936-39) se refuerza el despliegue militar en el Sáhara con un tabor del Grupo de Tiradores de Ifni (1934-1969). Tras la provincialización (1959) se reorganizan las unidades creándose la Agrupación de Tropas Nómadas en dos grupos formados por la Plana Mayor y tres mías cada grupo. En 1963 se añadiría un tercer grupo.

La unidad fue disuelta en 1976 sin que ninguna otra conservase su historial.

For quite a while ParkourCraft has been under the direction defined by upper staff members leading projects or me. We intend to make a new way to pass ideas to us through a political system.
The written guidelines for this system can be found here, and will remain there if anything is updated.
While I recommend you visit that page and give it a once over, I will do my best to summarize.
There are three steps to this process. Firstly, the community-based input will occur through a Proposal Thread where anyone can submit an idea under the preset format. That thread will be reviewed by members of the Committee, and if deemed proper, a new thread known as a Discussion Thread will be started by an Overseer. Over a specified period of time the community can civilly argue over the Proposal, and then the thread will be locked and a Voting Thread will begin. There, members of the committee will have a vote, deciding whether or not the idea should go through.
The committee is comprised of three types of members: Delegate, Overseer, and Minister. All staff members by default are considered Delegates, but they can also be nominated on a per-proposal basis or nominated through a Proposal Thread. Those nominations will be decided by an Overseer.
If you are interested in taking part in this process I highly recommend you take a look at the google doc.

Coral Dubai Deira
Excellent performance from HMH hotels in UAE
Hotels operated by HMH – Hospitality Management Holding in the UAE are exceeding expectations with an outstanding performance for the year-to-date.
The Bahi Ajman Palace Hotel recorded an impressive 23 per cent growth in revenue, while Coral Beach Resort Sharjah and Coral Dubai Deira averaged between 5 to 10 per cent increase in revenue year-on-year.
Ferghal Purcell, COO of HMH, attributed this performance to a diversified and balanced business mix, as well as an increase in the wholesale business. He said: "We have been witnessing extremely positive trends with certain markets performing better than expected.
"There has been a very strong return of the wholesale market from the CIS and Europe including the Nordic and Baltic States, which helped boost the numbers. In addition, the GCC market remains very strong with very successful school holiday periods."
Diverse markets
Highlighting the significance of tapping diverse market segments, Purcell added: "Appropriately, a diversified and an optimal business mix enabled us to drive improved revenue and profit outcomes. Our strategy has been to drive business across all verticals that has given us a steady mix of corporate, long-stay, leisure, e-commerce and FIT segment; which in turn has kept our figures firm."
All hotels under HMH enjoy superb locations and are in close proximity to key commercial and leisure attractions in Dubai, Sharjah and Ajman.
Looking to the future, Purcell said the group remained "extremely bullish, as we try to maximise profits".
He added: "To sustain our growth in a highly competitive environment, it is absolutely essential to have a stronger grip on our business. Besides existing markets, in-bound tourism to the Middle East from emerging markets is also growing rapidly and consistently, thanks to the vast global airline network, growth of low-cost carriers, outstanding communication services, etc. It represents undeniable opportunities for our brands as we are seeing a sizeable increase in the number of guests from emerging markets."
Rafat Gotta
• In a separate development, Rafat Gotta has been appointed as the new general manager at Coral Dubai Deira Hotel. He has more than 18 years of experience in the industry, having worked at properties managed by international brands such as InterContinental Hotel Group, Kempinski and Marriott International. Prior to taking over the new role, Gotta was the hotel manager at Holiday Inn Express Dubai Airport.
Purcell said: "We are delighted to welcome Gotta to our team and believe he is the perfect candidate to lead the team at Coral Dubai Deira Hotel. Having worked in reputed hotels across the UAE, Qatar and Jordan, he brings extensive experience and is well familiar with the region's business and cultural landscape. We are confident Gotta's expertise will prove to be invaluable in optimizing Coral Dubai Deira's performance and building on its success."
Gotta added: "Coral Dubai Deira Hotel is a fabulous property with tremendous potential for growth. I look forward to working with the team at the hotel to maintain and enhance the standards in order to deliver the highest level of guest satisfaction."

Music Is a Potent Source of Meaning
But new research finds younger and older people largely listen for different reasons.
Tom Jacobs
(Photo: Jose Oller/Flickr)
"Music," wrote Ludwig van Beethoven, "is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy." Granted, as a composer, Beethoven wasn't exactly an objective observer. But for most of us, music is still the art form we turn to most frequently, and the one that gives us the greatest satisfaction.
The source of music's power has long been debated, with many psychologists concluding its primary benefit is emotional regulation (that is, stress reduction or relaxation). For many of us, that has always seemed awfully reductive—Beethoven would no doubt respond with some dissonant, dissenting chords—and recently published research suggests we may be right.
An exploratory study finds emotion regulation may be "a secondary outcome of music listening," write psychologists Jenny Groarke and Michael Hogan of the National University of Ireland in Galway. Rather, the "fundamental drivers" of our thirst for music appear to be the intense emotions a given melody produces, the way it facilitates reminiscing, and—as we age—its ability to produce transcendent experiences.
Older people are more interested in music as an intense, inner experience, while younger ones view it as a way of escaping bad moods and connecting with friends.
In the journal Psychology of Music, Groarke and Hogan report older and younger people tend to express different ideas when asked why they listen to music. While the responses of four groups of participants—two featuring people under 30, and two composed of those over 60—were predictably wide-ranging, the researchers found some distinct patterns.
For younger adults, social connection is a strong component of music listening; you bond with your peers over your choice in tunes. By one measure, this consideration placed second only to "mood improvement." (This finding aligns nicely with the theory that music originally developed as a source of social cohesion.)
But that aspect of listening was far less important to older adults, who largely looked at music as therapeutic—a source of meaning and personal growth. While some younger participants did refer to music's ability to provide them with a private "personal space," the bulk of the responses suggest older people are more interested in music as an intense, inner experience, while younger ones view it as a way of escaping bad moods and connecting with friends.
Using advertisements, Groarke and Hogan recruited volunteers to participate in four discussion groups, two of which featured music lovers between the age of 18 and 30 (24 in total), while the other two consisted of seniors ages 60 to 85 (19 in total).
The sessions began with the question "Why do you listen to music?," which was followed by a period of reflection, a detailed discussion of the ideas it generated, and a voting process in which participants selected five benefits of music listening that "they believed were most significant for enhancing well-being." The winners were then analyzed by a computer program that determined how they related to one another, and clarified the responses by folding them into a structural model.
Not surprisingly, the researchers found "affect regulation"—that is, relaxation or stress reduction—was "a common and highly endorsed function of music listening by both older and younger adults." However, rather than a primary reason for turning on that CD player or streaming service, affect regulation was largely seen as a side benefit that was "enhanced by other music listening functions."
"A greater proportion of younger adults considered social connection through music listening as significant for their well-being," the researchers write. "Younger adults considered social connection an important antecedent of (emotion) regulation and mood improvement."
The idea that music can inspire personal growth or be otherwise therapeutic was endorsed far more among the study's older participants.
"Paradoxically, younger adults also endorsed the use of music to avoid social connection, highlighting how music can be used to create a private space," they add. "It may be that young adults are using music to counteract the stresses of their more active social lives, while older adults are using music to compensate for and regulate feelings of social isolation."
Both groups felt the power of music to evoke reminiscing was important, but for somewhat different reasons. Younger adults saw it as a double-edged sword, distinguishing between "spontaneous, purposeful, positive, and less-adaptive reminiscing, such as reliving painful memories by listening to 'break-up' songs." Older adults, in contrast, viewed music-inspired reminiscing as a positive influencer on personal growth.
Indeed, the idea that music can inspire personal growth or be otherwise therapeutic was endorsed far more among the study's older participants. Many also spoke of music in terms of transcendence, and as meditative—ideas that did not reach the younger participants' radar screens.
This all suggests music retains its importance as we move through life, but the benefits it provides shift somewhat as we age. To again quote Beethoven, "Music is the mediator between the spiritual and the sensual life"—the sensual life of the young, and the spiritual concerns of those who are facing the fact that their days are limited.

Q: Create a PHP table with an if condition in it Assignment description
I have an assignment and it requires to create a table with 2 dimensional array and the third column to report the grade according to grading system as it shows in the picture.
I made the code for table creation, but I am stuck with the conditioning for the grade column and how to apply it in the table.
Can someone please help me with this ?

<?php
$a=array('0'=>array('Course','Mark','Grade'),
         '1'=>array('OS',90,''),
         '2'=>array('MIS',85,''),
         '3'=>array('WD',99,''),
         '4'=>array('OOP',67,''),
         '5'=>array('DS',70,''),
         '6'=>array('Prog',80,'')
         );
     echo"
";
     for($x=0;$x<7;$x++){
     echo"
";
     for($y=0;$y<3;$y++){
     echo "".$a[$x][$y].'	';
     }
     echo"
";
     }
     echo"
";
     ?>

A: Stackoverflow is not for answering assignment questions, but it seems like you have put your effort. You have to display grade  in the third column ie, when $y =2 (0,1,2). So you can do it like this.

<?php
$a=array('0'=>array('Course','Mark','Grade'),
         '1'=>array('OS',90,''),
         '2'=>array('MIS',85,''),
         '3'=>array('WD',99,''),
         '4'=>array('OOP',67,''),
         '5'=>array('DS',70,''),
         '6'=>array('Prog',80,'')
         );
     echo"
";
     for($x=0;$x<7;$x++){
     echo"
";
     for($y=0;$y<3;$y++){
        if($y == 2)
        {
            //Your grade logic
            $grade = logic($a[$x][1]); //You can define some function that takes marks and return grade
            echo "".$grade.'	';
        }
        else
        {
             echo "".$a[$x][$y].'	';
        }
     }
     echo"
";
     }
     echo"
";
     ?>

Edit

    <?php
    $a=array('0'=>array('Course','Mark','Grade'),
             '1'=>array('OS',90,''),
             '2'=>array('MIS',85,''),
             '3'=>array('WD',99,''),
             '4'=>array('OOP',67,''),
             '5'=>array('DS',70,''),
             '6'=>array('Prog',80,'')
             );
         echo"
";
         for($x=0;$x<7;$x++){
         echo"
";
         for($y=0;$y<3;$y++){
            if($y == 2)
            {
                //Your grade logic
                $marks = $a[$x][1];
                if($marks > 90)
                {
                   $grade = 'A';
                }
                else if($marks > 80)
                {
                   $grade = 'B';
                }
                else if($marks > 70)
                {
                   $grade = 'C';
                }
                else if($marks > 60)
                {
                   $grade = 'D';
                }
                else
                {
                   $grade = 'E';
                }
                echo "".$grade.'	';
            }
            else
            {
                 echo "".$a[$x][$y].'	';
            }
         }
         echo"
";
         }
         echo"
";
         ?>

A: EXAMPLE HERE
First define your grade logic function...
// Define your Grade Logic function
function getGrade($grade){
 if($grade>20 && $grade<40){return 'D';}
 if($grade>=40 && $grade<=60){return 'C';}
 if($grade>=61 && $grade<=80){return 'B';}
 if($grade>=81 && $grade<=100){return 'A';}
}

Then apply it in your loop...
// Start table
echo "
";

//Loop through your array
foreach($a as $k=>$v){

// If key is 0, means its the column row, echo headers
if($k==0){
  echo "
".$a[$k][0]."	".$a[$k][1]."	".$a[$k][2]."
";
} else {
// Else echo the table TD's
// Start table row
echo "
";
// loop through the array of grades for each row
foreach($v as $key=>$val){

   echo "";
   // If key is 1, that means we get the grade from our function
   if($key==1){
     $grade = getGrade($val);
   }
   if($key==2){
    // If key is 2 that means we need to echo the $grade
    echo $grade;
   } else {
    // else we just echo the array value
    echo $val;
   }
  echo "	";
 }
   // Finish table row
   echo "
";
   }
 }

// End table
echo "
";

A: Simple and easy ;)

<?php
$data = array(
    array('Course', 'Mark', 'Grade'),
    array('OS', 90, ''),
    array('MIS', 85, ''),
    array('WD', 99, ''),
    array('OOP', 67, ''),
    array('DS', 70, ''),
    array('Prog', 80, ''),
    array('Prog', 50, ''),
    array('Prog', 40, ''),
    array('Prog', 30, ''),
    array('Prog', 20, ''),
    array('Prog', 10, ''),
    array('Prog', 0, '')
);

$grade_chars = array('E', 6 => 'D', 'C', 'B', 'A');

echo "

foreach($data as $row) {

    if($row[2] == '') {
        $val = (int)($row[1] / 10);
        $row[2] = $grade_chars[$val > 5 ? $val : 0];

The birds in a single population will vary by 5–10%; subspecific differences may increase this to 15% or more. Again like human beings, most raptors additionally show sexual dimorphism, for some species and genera very marked, but with the females the larger. Length, to the end of the tail, is taken either from the tip of the bill or from the top of the head. Sometimes this varies according to the bird family. Thus, long-beaked waterbirds always include the bill, while owls usually and raptors often are measured from the top of the head, particularly when museum skins are made up without the bill pointing forwards.

The atypical frog/reptile-eating accipiters are less dimorphic than the bird-eaters. Old World vultures that take some living prey are more dimorphic than those that live on carrion alone. As a further specific example of mixed diet, the Palmnut Vulture Gypohierax angolensis might be expected, as the only primarily vegetarian raptor, to show virtually no sexual size dimorphism, but males are actually slightly smaller (92%) and a part of the prey consists of fish, amphibians, and crabs and other invertebrates.

BACKGROUND: Families' experiences of assisted dying are under-investigated and families are rarely considered in clinical guidelines concerning assisted dying. AIM: To systematically review family experiences of assisted dying. DESIGN: A systematic literature review using thematic synthesis. DATA SOURCES: MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, AMED (Allied and Complementary Medicine) and PsycINFO databases (January 1992 to February 2019). Studies investigating families' experiences on the practice of legalised assisted dying were included. We excluded studies prior to legalisation within the jurisdiction, secondary data analysis and opinion papers. RESULTS: Nineteen articles met the inclusion criteria. Publications were derived from four countries: The Netherlands, United States (Oregon, Washington and Vermont), Canada and Switzerland. Dutch studies predominately investigated family involvement in euthanasia, while Swiss and American studies only reported on assisted suicide. Eleven studies had a qualitative design, using predominately in-depth interviews; seven were retrospective surveys. Five analytical themes represented families' experiences in assisted dying: (1) context of the decision, (2) grounding the decision, (3) cognitive and emotional work, (4) experiencing the final farewell and (5) grief and bereavement. The results showed that families can be very involved in supporting patients seeking assisted dying, where open communication is maintained. Family involvement appeared to be influenced by the type of legislation in their country and the families' perception of the social acceptability of assisted dying. CONCLUSION: Our data confirm that families across all jurisdictions are involved in assisted suicide decision and enactment. Family needs are under-researched, and clinical guidelines should incorporate recommendations about how to consider family needs and how to provide them with evidence-based tailored interventions.

Theatre Review: Shaun Kitchener's new play Positive
Positive is a new play, by young playwright Shaun Kitchener, showing at the Waterloo East Theatre in London, after tryouts in Edinburgh last year. Based on real, modern stories of people living with HIV (including those presented in Attitude itself), the plot follows Benji (Timothy George) and flatmate Nikki (Nathalie Barclay), both of whom are dealing with the complexities of the medical and social issues that still come with having the condition today. Benji goes through the trials and tribulations of medical appointments, being rejected half way through a one night stand, and figuring out how to reveal his status to a new love interest. Although Nikki's subplot was less interesting, she stood out in most scenes she was in, with a simple but strong characterisation. Special mention also goes to Sally George as Benji's mother, who brings a familiar style of painfully middle class camp at first, but shows a performance of true substance once the nitty gritty of family rows gets going. Although the theatre is small and the production quaint, this play is very well written - the promising playwright himself also stars as Benji's love interest. It gets across strong messages that will speak to people who have experienced HIV in their own lives, and educate those who have not. Make a point of checking it out while it runs this month! Rating: 4/5 Positive plays at the Waterloo East Theatre until 1st June 2014. west-avenue.co.uk @PositivePlayLDN

To many people, the dining room should be designed to be practical meaning it should have the tables and chairs and other complimenting furniture items. Unfortunately, the lack of attention to details can be very frustrating for the homeowner in the long run. Therefore, even if you value substance over style, you should plan how to design your dining room to avoid the building frustration with the dining room layout in the long run.
If you are starting from scratch, one of the first things you should do is to measure the dining area. This would give you a good idea of how large or small the table would have to be to provide enough space around the room for everyone. The measurement would be good information when out in the market for a table for the dining room.
Apart from measuring the dimension of the dining room, you should also consider how many people would be occupying the room in a normal situation. If you have a large family, you should look for space saving tables which would not sacrifice the number of people it can serve. If you have a small family on the other hand but you are also expecting your family to grow in the very near future, you should take this into consideration.
Aside from the table, the chairs also take up too much space in the dining room. If you chose the wrong chairs, you could have a cramped dining area which can be frustrating for everyone involved. Some chairs are too bulky which would not be a good fit for smaller dining areas. Even if they are the most comfortable dining chairs, you should always look into the practical side of things. If they are taking up too much space, they are not the most practical choice.
Whenever in the market for dining room furniture, always consider go for things that you are sure would work well for your home. If you think that the dining room furniture "may" be a good addition to your dining room, it is best to look for another choice.
Although it is best to only buy practical dining room furnishings, you should also try to match these furniture pieces. This way, your dining room would be practical and appealing as well. This could make your dining experience more appealing. It is also not a big problem if you want to mix and match dining room furnishings to match your unique style and preference for home decoration.

Is Alrawabi School for Girls a Real School?
Kriti Mehrotra
Created by Tima Shomali and Shirin Kamal, 'AlRawabi School for Girls' is a Netflix original Arabic series, the second on the platform, wherein we see the world of modern-day Arab women come to life. Starring up and coming talents, this teen drama series reworks the likes of 'Mean Girls' and 'Get Even' as it follows a group of outcast teenage girls seeking revenge on their school bullies. In their mission to implement takedowns, they turn everyone's lives around in a way no one could ever expect. So now, let's find out if actual events inspired the fascinating narrative of 'AlRawabi School for Girls', shall we?
Is AlRawabi School for Girls Based on a True Story?
No, 'AlRawabi School for Girls' is not based on a true story. Although it is a teen drama through and through that touches upon universal subjects like bullying, alienation, friendship, and ultimate understanding, the producers and show creators did not base it on an individual or group experience they'd come across. Even the lead cast members – Andria Tayeh, Noor Taher, Joanna Arida, Yara Mustafa, and Rakeen Saad – had absolutely nothing to do with the initial idea. Yet, they did add their own little nuances to make all the scenes seem realistic and genuinely pull at our heartstrings.
A post shared by تيما الشوملي (@timashomali)
The main motive for this series, which it accomplishes, is not to highlight the aspect of revenge but to rightly show young Arab girls that people like them do exist, even in the entertainment industry. Tima Shomali, who also serves as the director and co-creator, candidly told Arab News, "It was important for me to tell the story of these young girls because I felt that we haven't seen it in depth. This age group has so many stories, and their secrets, their insecurities, their relationships, their loves, have always been a mystery."
She further added, "I wanted to give a small glimpse into social issues such as cyberbullying, the gap between the families and their daughters, and the gap in social conversation more broadly." For this, the Jordanian actress and writer sat down with numerous girls from different backgrounds and cultures in the name of research, only to discover that every woman goes through the same struggles at separate points in their lives. It's just that most of them come to light when they're developing teenagers.
Tima has always strived to give women like her a platform in order to help them see that now is the time to stand up for themselves. While speaking to The National, she additionally explained, "I wanted to do a project that talks about women's stories from the perspective of women for a long while. And I wanted to do it with a team of women. So, as we started writing a high-school drama, it became obvious that this was the project I was waiting for."
Even Rakeen Saad, who plays the role of Noaf, admitted that this spirit of empowerment inspired her because the behind-the-scenes crew primarily comprised women as well. In short, despite the fact that 'AlRawabi School for Girls' is as fictional as it can be, it is also authentic as every one of us, no matter our roots or personal experiences, are humans with the same needs and ambitions in life. We all want to be seen and heard, so it is natural for us to find ourselves relating to at least one of the characters in this simple yet bold and powerful show.

E Street offspring join Giants Stadium jubilation
Updated Apr 02, 2019; Posted Jul 29, 2008
By Jay Lustig | For Inside Jersey
TONY KURDZUK/THE STAR-LEDGER
Bruce Springsteen holds the microphone out to the crowd during Sunday night's concert at Giants Stadium.
Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band. Where: Giants Stadium, East Rutherford. When: 7:30 p.m. Thursday. How much: $65, $95. Call (201) 507-8900 or visit ticketmaster.com.
It was E Street Family Night at Giants Stadium on Monday.
Drummer Max Weinberg's 18-year-old son Jay substituted for his father on "Born to Run," pounding the skins with authority as the elder Weinberg watched from the side of the stage. Bruce Springsteen's 16-year-old daughter, Jessica, danced onstage during the show-closing "Twist and Shout," and even took a little rock-star leap at the end. Also, Springsteen led the crowd in singing "Happy Birthday To You" to his wife, E Street Band member Patti Scialfa. She turned 55 yesterday.
This was the second of three shows that Springsteen and the band will be presenting at Giants Stadium this week, and though it was slightly longer than Sunday's show, it still lasted more than three hours and featured 28 songs. Sunday's show was better overall; the band was sharper, and played with more drive. But Monday's show still had some priceless moments, particularly in the encores.
The "Detroit Medley," featuring segments of songs like "Good Golly Miss Molly" and "Devil With the Blue Dress On," was explosive. Singer-songwriter Jesse Malin and Dave Bielanko of the band Marah -- two younger musicians Springsteen has befriended and worked with -- helped out on the final, celebratory "Twist and Shout."
Bruce Springsteen performs Out in the Street
It was good to hear "Born To Run" -- a song Springsteen has played at virtually every E Street show of the last 33 years -- in slightly different form. With Jay leading the way, the band took it at a faster clip than usual, and this was enough to give it a fresh feel. Coming right after that, "Glory Days" -- a song about looking back at your youth -- seemed particularly relevant.
The setlist changed considerably from Night One to Night Two: Half of the songs were not played on Sunday. Among these were the show-opening "Out in the Street," "Drive All Night," "She's the One," "Two Hearts," "Hungry Heart," "It's Hard to Be a Saint in the City," "Sherry Darling" and "Thunder Road."
Bruce Springsteen performs Radio Nowhere
"Because the Night" featured dynamic playing and equally dynamic acrobatics from guitarist Nils Lofgren, who did a somersault and turned in circles as he played. The evening's biggest surprise was "Held Up Without a Gun," a fast, short, almost punkish 1980 B-side that bears a resemblance to another 1980 Springsteen song, "Crush On You." Springsteen has only performed this song at two other concerts.
Bruce Springsteen performs No Surrender
Springsteen also got his biggest laugh of the night before this song, which includes a reference to high gas prices. "I want to dedicate this to what it cost you guys to drive here," he said.
Here is the setlist from Monday's show:
"Out in the Street"
"Radio Nowhere"
"No Surrender"
"Two Hearts"
"The Promised Land"
"Hungry Heart"
"Summertime Blues"
"Tunnel of Love"
"Held Up Without a Gun"
"It's Hard to be a Saint In the City"
"Sherry Darling"
"Waitin' on a Sunny Day"
"Because the Night"
"She's the One"
"Livin' in the Future"
"Mary's Place"
"Drive All Night"
"The Rising"
"Last to Die"
"Long Walk Home"
"Badlands"
Encores
"Girls in Their Summer Clothes"
"Thunder Road"
"Detroit Medley"
"Born to Run"
"Glory Days"
"American Land"
"Twist and Shout"

Becoming Jane
National Geographic Museum
Celebrate the 60th anniversary of Jane Goodall's ground-breaking discoveries in Gombe in this hands-on, transportive multimedia exhibition.
Dr. Jane Goodall, UN Messenger of Peace, braved the unknown to give the world a remarkable window into humankind's closest living relatives: chimpanzees. While conducting her intensive, long-term study in Gombe, Tanzania, Dr. Goodall kept a field journal. With hologram technology we brought these notes and illustrations to life as a visual representation of her discoveries.
One goal of this exhibit was to inspire ways that we can help our planet, and we brought environmental awareness to visitors with the Tree of Hope. As individuals pledged to make changes to their lifestyle, their names were added as leaves to a tree that became full and vibrant — showing that many small efforts can create change in our environment when done as a group.
Because of JGI's innovative science, we can now understand the change of chimpanzee habitats over time, and we helped consolidate this data in an easy to digest interactive map. Users could guide themselves through the different parts of the chimpanzee range in Africa, gaining a better understanding of how these habitats have been impacted by deforestation and the other consequences of human expansion.
"Becoming Jane" is a partnership with the Jane Goodall Institute and is supported with generous assistance from the Linda K. Berdine Foundation and Dov and Elma Levy.
See inside the "Becoming Jane" Exhibit
The Evolution of Dr. Jane Goodall celebrates Jane Goodall's 86th birthday and marks the 60th anniversary of her trip to Gombe. Take a peek at our work at The National Geographic Museum in Washington, D.C.

44 Hislop Road, ATTADALE WA 6156
Sold $1,200,000
The Bold And The Beautiful!
THIS amazing Hislop Road, Attadale home has plenty of Beverly Hill panache, and Hollywood style, a little bit of Melbourne's Toorak, and a dash of Italian palazzo, in an eclectic mix that reflects the owners' international travels.
The exterior's black brick walls and series of gothic-arch windows are a nod to Melbourne, London and Edinburgh, while inside is pure New York Hamptons, fresh and modern with cavernous light-filled spaces and stylish modern fittings.
The massive black timber front door pivots gently to reveal a sweep of engineered white-washed oak floors that are practical and beautiful, and an enormous lounge/living room, dominated by a towering, timber bookcase, painted the home's signature black to contrast with its crisp white walls. Bifold doors on the south side open onto a small walled courtyard, carpeted in artificial turf which is perfect for the owners' young son to safely crawl on.
On the north side more bifolds lead to a stunning semi-enclosed alfresco area, complete with a sassy timber chandelier and a built-in-barbeque kitchen with a sink and fridge. Nearby is a swathe of real grass for older kids to play on.
This is a home designed for entertaining and formal dining is a breeze in the huge kitchen/dining area. The kitchen is a chef's delight with a huge island bench for preparation and serving and plenty more marble-look tiled bench space flanking the deep, porcelain double sink. There's masses of storage, including a floor-to-ceiling pull-out pantry.
Three of the four bedrooms, and a bathroom, are downstairs, each with built-in-robes. Stunning concrete-look, glass and chrome stairs lead to the second level parents retreat, a majestic space redolent of a luxury resort, with a wall of glass, and massive arched windows. The twin robes of the dressing room form a corridor to the en suite, a vast and opulent space where the taps are gold and the double vanity and walls marble.
This stunning home is a two minute walk from the Attadale river foreshore, and Point Walter is just up the road.
There are shops and cafes nearby, and it's a 5 minute drive to Garden City, while Perth and Fremantle are not much further.
Please call me for further details.

Map of The Worlds Hemispheres
The planet's four hemispheres are shown on the map above, and each is shaded a dark gray.
The Equator, that red imaginary horizontal line at 0º degrees latitude at the center of the earth, divides the earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.
The red vertical imaginary line called the Prime Meridian, at 0º degrees longitude, and its twin line of longitude, opposite the Prime Meridian at 180º longitude, divides the earth into the Eastern and Western Hemispheres.
Therefore (with some exceptions) all countries north of the Equator are in the Northern Hemisphere, while all countries south of the Equator are in the Southern Hemisphere. In addition, all countries west of the Prime Meridian are in the Western Hemisphere while those east of the Prime Meridian are in the Eastern Hemisphere.
Generally the Eastern Hemisphere includes most of Africa, about half of Antarctica, all of Asia and Australia/Oceania, and most of Europe.
The Western Hemisphere includes about half of Antarctica and all of North and South America, which includes the Caribbean, Central America and Greenland.
The Northern Hemisphere includes all of North America, the northern reaches of South America, about two-thirds of Africa, all of Asia excluding (parts of Indonesia) and all of Europe.
The Southern Hemisphere includes most of South America, one-third of Africa, all of Antarctica, a small sliver of Asia (parts of Indonesia) and all of Australia/Oceania.
There are exceptions as some continents (and their countries) based on the straight-line divisions of the Equator and Prime Meridian are a part of two hemispheres.

Albert Curry
Other Federal Exonerations with Misconduct
On August 5, 2001, a 24-year-old woman reported to police that she had been sexually assaulted the night before by 41-year-old Albert Curry during a party in Kyle, South Dakota.
The woman, S.O., said she had no memory of the assault because she passed out from drinking alcohol, but that Curry had been making sexual advances toward her during the party.
S.O.'s sister, L.S., said she came into the bedroom and found Curry pulling up his pants. A rape kit was taken and DNA tests identified Curry as the source of the semen.
In November 2001, Curry was indicted by a federal grand jury on a charge of sexual assault. The case was prosecuted in federal court because the incident occurred on the Pine Ridge Agency, a Native American reservation.
Curry went to trial U.S. District Court in March 2002. S.O. testified that Curry made sexual advances during the party and that she went to bed, passed out and had no memory of what happened.
S.O.'s sister testified that she went to check on S.O. and discovered Curry pulling up his pants. She said S.O. did not speak.
An FBI agent who had taken statements from S.O. and L.S. inadvertently disclosed during his testimony that he had a prepared a "memorandum of interview" based on his interview of L.S. Curry's lawyer objected, saying he had not received the memo and asked for a mistrial due to the prosecution's failure to disclose the memo.
Judge Karen Schreier took the motion for mistrial under advisement and ordered the trial to continue. The judge did not order the prosecution to turn over the memo.
Curry testified in his own defense. He told the jury that he and S.O. had been partying most of the day and evening and that S.O. encouraged and consented to the sexual encounter.
On March 7, 2002, the jury convicted Curry of one count of sexual assault. Prior to sentencing, the judge reviewed the memo and discovered that L.S. had told the agent prior to trial that when she came into the bedroom, S.O. sat up, grabbed her blanket and asked L.S., "What are you doing?"
The defense filed a motion renewing the request for a mistrial and to vacate Curry's conviction based on the failure of the prosecution to disclose the memo because it contained a statement from L.S. that contradicted her trial testimony and could have been used to impeach her.
On May 31, 2002, Judge Schreier granted the motion for a mistrial and vacated Curry's conviction. Noting that the prosecution's evidence was "not overwhelming," Judge Schreier ruled that he had received an unfair trial due to the failure of the prosecution to disclose the memo. She also ruled that the prosecutor, during closing arguments, improperly injected his personal opinion on Curry's credibility and improperly appealed to the sympathy of the women jurors.
Before a retrial commenced, the defense then asked that the case be dismissed on the ground that the prosecution had intentionally made improper closing arguments to provoke a mistrial because the prosecutor knew that the memo was favorable to the defense and should have been disclosed. The defense claimed that a second trial would violate Curry's constitutional protection against double jeopardy.
Judge Schreier denied that motion and the defense appealed. In May 2003, the Eighth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals upheld Judge Schreier's ruling and noted that at a retrial Curry would "have the opportunity to impeach (L.S.) with her prior statements."
On August 19, 2003, Curry went to trial a second time. On August 23, 2003, the jury acquitted him.
