Hart is therefore in a unique position to talk about the current state of the British hospitality market. But, it transpired, the messages he had to pass on were certainly mixed and most unexpected. Despite the current recession, business is best at Hambleton Hall where the average bill . (This article appeared in Southeast Asian Affairs, ). In , while the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) proudly looked back at its past thirty years of accomplishment in forging regional peace and security, vibrant economic growth, and higher levels of social welfare, a new issue – economic security – confronted the grouping's economies.
Fears of recession have been expressed by economists, especially with a slowdown in the global economy. Both the economies of the United States and China, the two largest economies in the world, have slowed down. Ongoing trade wars between the two countries, have contributed to this decelerated growth. How will the slump in the global economy affect the Indian scenario? Honeywell emerged from the Great Recession in better shape than it did the recession in terms of sales, net income, and cash flow, despite the fact that the downturn was much more severe.

We caught up with Garson by phone in her rent-controlled Manhattan apartment. The capacity to cope with the coming recession today depends to a large extent on how the governments assist markets in carrying out structural shifts. During the Great Recession, China put into place a huge fiscal stimulus package so that the economy only slowed down marginally (from 14% in to 9% in ), whereas other countries.
ASEAN has ably brought together former rivals and among the world's most (ideologically and socio-economically) diverse nations under a single roof. Yet, with the rise of China and the demise of the old American-led order, the ASEAN is facing an existential moment, which may require strategic soul-searching and major institutional reforms.
"Within a system which denies the existence of basic human rights, fear tends to be the order of the day. Fear of imprisonment, fear of torture, fear of death, fear of losing friends, family, property or means of livelihood, fear of poverty, fear of isolation, fear of failure.

Merry Christmas to me! The set that I have been BEGGING Audra, from Kindred Stamps, to make has been made! Epic set, for reals! The new Space Explorers set is the most amazing stamp set ever created!
For the last release of Kindred Stamps, I created the following cards! Can you tell I learned how to use Deco Foil? Uhm, it is AMAZING and I'll be using it a lot in my life!
For these two cards, I used the stencils from the Out of This World mini kit from Papertrey Ink.
For this card, I found a great hexagon stencil in the home decorating/painting section of Michael's. YES, they have stencils too, and that section should not be overlooked!
For this card, I used the Quilted Hexagon Dies from Sunny Studio Stamps and some Tonic Mirror Card Stock. I have SO many ideas for this cardstock, and by far I think this is my favorite card of the set!
My sentiment was stamped on vellum, so I adhered it to my card using Ranger Multi Matte Medium using the smaller hexagons and the characters to hide the adhesive points. I just LOVE the dimensions in this card!
Playing with this set has been a dream come true! I just love everything about this set, from the super large spaceship to the characters, the quote in the set, everything is super perfect and I hope I have inspired you to play with it!
I absolutely love all of your cards and really wish I would have seen this post earlier. I just checked and the stamp set is sold out. 🙁 Thanks for the inspiration for when it comes back in stock.
Amy, make sure you add your email account to the notification list! It will be restocked really soon and you'll get yours shortly!


Remember to Dance like no-one is watching you!
Our Mission is Fun! Fun! Fun!
Our aim is to give you the best possible service & introduce the passion of Dance into your lives.
DON'T JUST JOIN A STUDIO….JOIN A TEAM!!!!
With the reputation and credibility of 28 years in the business teaching young and young at heart we are proud to be the longest running RocknRoll/Swing Dance Studio in Sydney, Sydney's West, Central Coast and Newcastle with Headquarters in Gosford.
Retro Vintage Dance Classes Swing, Rockabilly & RocknRoll!
Family friendly classes including kiddies, teens, adults, seniors of all ages, all genders just having FUN teaching happy feet the Happy Dances!
Anna Ocello founded Blue Suede Shoes Dance School in 1991. Anna's lifelong love of dance led her initially to Ballroom and Latin Dancing in 1988 and in the early 1990's Anna became involved in the RocknRoll movement through the Australian RocknRoll Dancesport Council, S.A.T.D, and F.A.T.D. and qualified with all three bodies. In 2017 Anna with fellow dance associates formed the NSW RocknRoll Association for teachers and dancers.
Her first studio was opened in 1992 at Ashlar Golf Club in the Blacktown District of Western Sydney. She began teaching RocknRoll, Latin and Social Ballroom classes, specialising in teaching children from beginner through to competition levels. In 1995 Anna's love of the 1940's led her in another direction when she became involved in the Swing/Lindy Hop dance craze.
Home of the Swing Kids – The studio was founded on children's classes and continues to this day to teach the juniors. We are also an ACTIVE KIDS Provider and staff are registered with Working with Children.
In her passion to keep these dance styles alive in Australia, she trained and enrolled into many workshops with the best of the international talent, including Frankie Manning, Sylvia Sykes, Sing Yuen Lim, Jonathon Bixby, Rhythm Hot Shots – Mattias & Eva (W) , Marcus and Barbl and many, many more. In the early days it was primarily Savoy Swing style and now the studio also blends hollywood and westcoast swing styles. More recently Blue Suede Shoes staff and some of the students travelled to Rock That Swing Festival in Munich (2013) and Frankie 100 (2014) in New York where they engaged in further workshops with Stephen & Chandrae, Patrick & Natasha, Kevin St Laurent, Max and Annie, Nick Williams and once again a list too long to mention. The Staff have also been influenced by Boogie Woogie and enrolled in workshops with William and Maeva, Thomas and Alice and Thorbjorn and Suzanne in the last few years and in 2017 travelled to Lake Como for the Swing Crash Festival.
From the initial studio at Blacktown, Blue Suede Shoes expanded classes covering a vast section of Sydney, from the Inner West to Outer West of Blacktown, Emu Plains & Camden and the Central Coast/Newcastle region. See our Lessons Page for locations.
Over the last 28 years Blue Suede Shoes Dance School has been a mother and son family run business with Justin Di Paola taking the position of Manager and in addition to teaching, together they have expanded to include hosting 6 major Dance Events, including Chromefest at The Entrance and the Western Sydney Dance Championships/NSW State Titles and diversified into retro/vintage fashion with One of a Kind Clothing Store.
Anna with the assistance of her son Justin has brought much success and interest to the studio over the years and continue each year to engage new courses, new venues, and new events. The Blue Suede Shoes Dance School is now full time dancing for Anna and Justin. Come dance at one of their venues and see why they are one of the longest running schools and be greeted by Anna, Justin or one of the friendly team members. They also travel and offer workshops interstate, internationally and regional areas.
Justin also is the co-founder of the performance dance troupe Sydney Swing Katz, one of the first troupes in Sydney and the Swing Katz are available to book for corporate functions, weddings and festivals. Please visit Sydney Swing Katz for more details regarding this spectacular premier retro vintage dance group.


Bottom Feeders Scouring Author Obituaries?! A New Low in the Industry!!!
We were contacted this week by an individual who stated they knew one of our BookLocker.com authors had recently passed. He then demanded to know "who was profiting" from the sale of the book now.
Turns out that firm wanted us to hand over the author's family's contact information because they wanted to republish the author's books at their company (for a fee, of course). And, here's the kicker. He offered to "share the profits" with us! What a shmuck!
Second, how dare that person demand to know who's profiting from the books written by a deceased author…someone who did not even know that individual? Unfortunately, this isn't the first time this has happened.
the family about "keeping the legacy alive," thus using the family's grief to prey on them for money.
are selling. Some bottom feeders may make the families of authors think the book will be quickly ripped off the market because the author died. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Just like some bottom feeders scour Amazon for "new" books by self-published authors, and then try to convince them to pay that firm even MORE money to re-release their book through that company, this type of scum in the industry should be avoided at all costs. They really have hit a new low.
contacts us about that person's family, we'll protect that family from them as best we can.
POD POACHERS! When Bottom Feeders Lure Authors Away from Their Existing Contracts, and Charge Thousands More!
Where Are These Cheeseball Bottom Feeders Coming From?
7 Responses to "Bottom Feeders Scouring Author Obituaries?! A New Low in the Industry!!!"
There are other unscrupulous publishers out there with a similar 'go after the family' plot. A friend recently contacted me about an author's daughter who wants to bring her father's books back into print. An established publisher quoted her a figure of $10,000 to republish each (not all of them). I suspect this publisher will also treat them as traditionally published books, which would mean that she'd never recover those huge charges with 10-15% royalties.
I told him that was absurd, that she could self-publish those books as facsimiles for essentially nothing or for a few hundred dollars she could OCR them and create new editions. And this reminds me, I need to get back to him to discover what she is doing.
Angela, I like your idea of a beneficiary clause in the author contact. All too many wills leave that out and, as a result, the literary rights fall under the residuals clause. That's how John Steinbeck's own children lost control of his literary estate. When he died, those rights fell as residuals to his third wife. On her death, they fell to her children not his. The result has been a long series of horrors, culminating in this.
I got to know Gail Steinbeck, wife of Steinbeck's son Tom, during an earlier stage of this dispute when we were both involved in a legal action. She'd temporarily regained control of the estate and was trying to protect his legacy. These losses must hurt her greatly and they drive home an important point. If you have a literary estate, make sure it will pass to those you trust. You don't want it to be left to the vagaries of probate.
At the time when I was reading and filling out your contract, I remember that the beneficiary clause impressed me. One more out of hundreds of reasons to sign with BookLocker. Cheers!
My lover sold my soul at the crossroads for immortality. Rather cheaply, too.
So, one step closer to publication with no ambulance-chasing lawyers on the horizon, ever.
Mayhap I should've traded for the virtue of patience, as I seem to possess so very little.
Closer, always closer, yet never close enough.
One day soon, m'lady . . .
Thank you for the article; some people, like doubt, are parasites.
Hi, Angela, It's not just authors. Those ghouls are everywhere. I was amazed at what crawled out of the woodwork after my wife died. One bank–a household name–hassled me for months over an account that turned out to have ten cents left in it.
Hi Anglea, I've been a follower/subsciber of yours for the past couple of decades and have seen you write about all sorts of scams, but I've never seen one like this. There are a lot of creative criminally minded people out there.
Yes, it's absolutely disgusting. And, the demanding, rude tone of the email was unbelievable!!!

Trudeau defends high number of Haitians rejected by Canada's refugee system
By Staff	The Canadian Press
WATCH: Canada could see another wave of Haitian migrants coming to our country in the next year. The Trump administration is ending the Temporary Protected Status of nearly 60-thousand people. Mike Le Couteur went to find out what the government is doing to get ready.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says Canada's refugee system isn't meant for those who are merely seeking a better economic future.
Trudeau is citing the case of thousands of Haitians who have crossed into Canada from the U.S. in recent months to claim asylum, only relatively few of which – about 10 per cent – are being granted status.
READ MORE: U.S. ending temporary permits for nearly 60,000 Haitians, putting Canada on alert
Trudeau says when people ask for refugee status, it means they have nowhere else to go and they aren't being protected by their home state.
But he says that while Haiti has its economic challenges, it's not a failed state and there are people from elsewhere in the world who have more urgent needs.

The issue is up for discussion later today at the sixth meeting of the federal-provincial task force overseeing irregular migration into Canada.

Q: EPPlus Dispose Doesn't Work I want to create workbook and then write data using EPPlus. When I create new workbook, it can create successfully. But when I want to write some data to that worksheet, it failed and error says

The process cannot access the file 'filename' because it is being
  used by another process.

I have disposed previous ExcelPackage but the error still show when I write data.
//Create new Workbook
private void PengisianBaruBW_DoWork(object sender, DoWorkEventArgs e)
{
    this.Invoke(new MethodInvoker(delegate
    {
        SetPengisianBtn.Enabled = false;
    }));

    FileInfo filePath = new FileInfo("D:\\Data Pengisian SLA Surabaya\\" + day + "_" + date + ".xlsx");

    if (File.Exists(filePath.ToString()))

    {
        var schedule = pck.Workbook.Worksheets.Add("Schedule");
        var cart = pck.Workbook.Worksheets.Add("Cartridge");
        var unsche = pck.Workbook.Worksheets.Add("Unschedule");
        var rekap = pck.Workbook.Worksheets.Add("Rekap");

        //My Code here

        pck.SaveAs(filePath);
        pck.Dispose(); //I have disposed ExcelPakcage here

    }
}

//Write Data to Excel File

        {
            FileInfo file = new FileInfo("D:\\Data Pengisian SLA Surabaya\\" + day + "_" + date + ".xlsx");

            using (ExcelPackage pck = new ExcelPackage(file)) //error here
            {
                var rekap = pck.Workbook.Worksheets["Rekap"];
                var data = pck.Workbook.Worksheets["Data"];

                //my code to write data here

        }
    }
    else
    {
        MessageBox.Show("Silakan isi PIC terlebih dahulu !");
    }
}

I have added this code to check whether my excel file is active or not. But the error still exsit. I set breakpoint and I see that stream value is null that indicate that my excel file is close. But why the error still exists ? Can anyone help me ?
string file = "D:\\Data Pengisian SLA Surabaya\\" + day + "_" + date + ".xlsx";
                var path = Path.Combine(Path.GetTempPath(), "D:\\Data Pengisian SLA Surabaya\\" + day + "_" + date + ".xlsx");
                var tempfile = new FileInfo(path);

                FileStream stream = null;

                try
                {
                    stream = tempfile.Open(FileMode.Open, FileAccess.ReadWrite, FileShare.None);
                }
                catch (IOException)
                {

                }
                finally
                {
                    if (stream != null)
                        stream.Close();
                }

A: I simplified your snippet for testing. It all worked as it should. Are you sure there is no other cause of the file access problem, like a virus scanner, backup program etc. since you also have another question with the same basic problem.
Take a look at the snippet below, try it and see if this one works. If not the problem is not in the code.
FileInfo filePath = new FileInfo("ExcelDemo.xlsx");

if (File.Exists(filePath.ToString()))
{
    File.Delete(filePath.ToString());
}

using (ExcelPackage pck = new ExcelPackage(filePath))
{
    var schedule = pck.Workbook.Worksheets.Add("Schedule");
    var cart = pck.Workbook.Worksheets.Add("Cartridge");
    var unsche = pck.Workbook.Worksheets.Add("Unschedule");
    var rekap = pck.Workbook.Worksheets.Add("Rekap");

    pck.SaveAs(filePath);
}

using (ExcelPackage pck = new ExcelPackage(filePath))
{
    var rekap = pck.Workbook.Worksheets["Rekap"];
    var schedule = pck.Workbook.Worksheets["Schedule"];

    rekap.Cells[4, 1].Value = "Added data";
    schedule.Cells[4, 1].Value = "Added data";

    pck.SaveAs(filePath);
}

A: As already stated, the basic code should work just fine. However, looking at your code, I sense that you are using some kind of BackgroundWorker (PengisianBaruBW_DoWork name suggests this).
If so, you might run into accessing the same file from another thread (PengisianBaruBW_DoWork executes in parallel with PrintScheduleBtn_Click).
To help you more, you should add where (what line) do you receive this error and the call stack.
[Edit]
Based on additional comments, I think of one of these scenarios:
1) PengisianBaruBW_DoWork gets called many times and sometimes it happens to do work with the file, while PrintScheduleBtn_Click is trying to do work with the same file
2) An unhandled exception in _DoWork might get swallowed and leave the file opened (highly improbable since you have a disposable context).
Either way, put a breakpoint at the start of your _DoWork and one at beginning of PrintScheduleBtn_Click and use step over (F10).

A: I know this an old post, but it never got solved. I ran into the same problem, but i think i found the solution for it (at least it unlocked my excel file):
        excelPackage.Dispose();
        excelPackage = null;
        GC.Collect();

Head to Miyazaki Prefecture and pay a visit to Takachino Gorge, the "power spot" of the region. The Amaterasu railway that runs through this area is in fact a converted mine cart. With such a small capacity, there can be a struggle for places to ride this so reservations are a must. The prefecture experiences more sunny and longer days than other parts of Japan, even in winter. The warm climate this brings makes the region a place for professional soccer and baseball teams to hold their training camps, as well as for people to head to the resorts for a round of golf.

You see, the chickens could still be kept inside of an overcrowded space.
Instead look for labels that say free range (update: free range may be just as bad as "cage free," as the chicken's door to go outside may be extremely too small to accommodate all of them) or pasture-raised as the chickens are much more likely to have easy access to a large enough outdoor area.
Normally they would only eat grass and bugs.
Instead, labels such as organic and no antibiotics are much more important to look for.
To test this out yourself, check to make sure the yolk is a dark orange hue, opposed to a brighter yellow.
You can't get enough of the stuff right.
The truth is… this doesn't address the real issue… you see, "the dose makes the poison." And the real reason why people say to get more omega 3, is because they're getting too much of omega 6… which should ideally be around the same amount.
The problem is omega 6 can be found in unhealthy seed and vegetable oils coming from soybean, corn sunflower, canola, etc.… which is found in most processed foods, which makes up about 63% of the Standard American Diet (the initials being SAD for a reason).
It's a fact that the American diet is designed and engineered for a shelf in a ware house, not for the American gut.
Which is the reason why it's the cause of approximately two-thirds of the deaths due to disease in America.
So now instead, you'll be much better off reducing your intake of unhealthy foods, and then you wouldn't need as much omega 3.
The healthiest fats that will cause you to lose weight however come from olives, coconuts, and avocados… and to get oils from them it has to say extra virgin to still be considered healthy. The last thing to consider is that not all omega-3 fatty acids are treated equal… an animal has to first digest omega 3 before we're able to absorb it more fully (being classified as DHA and EPA)… in contrast to ALA which is from plant based foods like flax seed.
Sounds good, since you don't want the saturated fats found in red meat right?
The truth is as long as it's grass-fed and pasture-raised, it's perfectly fine.
You can tell if the beef was grass-fed, since it would have a darker red hue… opposed to grain or corn fed beef.
Grass-fed beef also contains a much more equal ratio of omega 3 and 6 fatty acids.
Also, it's much less likely to contain bacteria such as e-coli… which is why it's okay to eat raw egg yolks as long as the hen is grass fed and pasture raised.
Ultimately you decide what goes into your body. Consider this as well, High amounts of protein are not only good for your bones, but also help maintain healthy amounts of blood sugar and thus control blood pressure. Even butter is okay when it comes from an animal that was grass-fed and pasture-raised.
You can assume that since you don't want your animals eating grains, then you probably don't want to either.
In fact, I can speak for myself that if I go a day without eating any grains… the very next day I have a ton of more energy and feel better.
But let's look at history, the agricultural revolution happened fairly recently since humans have evolved and since then our genes haven't really changed all that much.
The truth is there is a reason why animals and humans never naturally ate grains… it's because they contain very few nutrients compared to other foods (which is why they have to be artificially fortified with vitamins and minerals all the time), and they also contain anti-nutrients like Phytic acid which blocks the absorption of nutrients from other foods that you do eat.
However, grains happen to be the easiest and cheapest food to mass-produce… hence this is the real reason why it's number one on the food pyramid.
This type of wheat however is the cause of a slew of health problems; both minor and serve... mainly because it contains large amounts of a protein known as gluten which wreaks havoc on our bodies and our brains.
And If that's not bad enough, since it's a fast-releasing carbohydrate, meaning it turns into sugar very quickly in our blood stream… it causes you to get hungry faster, and your body to hold onto more fat, and it even alters our brain chemistry to create an addiction… behaving the same way an opiate in a drug causes an addiction and withdraw symptoms believe it or not.
This explains why so many people claim that they could live off of cereal for every meal.
So it's important to only eat these sparingly.
Seems like it would make sense, however it couldn't be further from the truth.
But most people are so distracted checking the calories and fat content that they don't research how extremely dangerous these artificial sweeteners really are.
They can literally kill you, or drastically affect you overtime, as aspartame will turn into poisonous formaldehyde inside of our brains.
Aspartame, being the worst, is literally made from the genetically modified bacteria found in rat feces.
And yes, the same company is also responsible for making genetically modified organisms, or GMO food and it's really that bad for you.
The idea here is that this helps to keep your metabolism going so that it continuously burns fat… only problem is that it's a myth.
While it is true that the process of you chewing raises your metabolism slightly while you're digesting the meal, it's the total amount and type of food that determines the amount of fat that gets burned naturally, NOT the number of meals you eat in a given day.
For some people eating 6 meals instead of 3 meals will cause them to feel less full, and thus this would promote binge eating.
And it's a fact that fasting or having larger breaks between meals actually allows our body the necessary time to detoxify itself, which also gives us feelings of more energy.
False, nearly all fruit juices are pasteurized.
It means that the juice is heated up to kill any bacterial that may develop while it's in transportation to the grocery store.
The problem is that this also kills the anti-oxidants and all the good stuff in the juice too.
For this reason it's far more healthy to just eat a whole orange or squeeze it fresh.
The healthiest things to drink would be purified / alkaline / mineral water, fresh coconut water, green or herb tea. Adding lemon (to make it more alkaline, or in other words to help match the pH level of the water to be more close to the pH level of your blood) and sometimes adding a very small pinch of sea salt (not table salt, to add essential minerals) will boost the health benefits of anything you drink.
The same problem exists for milk, in that it's pasteurized.
The only way to safely get around pasteurized milk, is to live in relatively close proximity to a local farm that has the ability to provide you with un-pasteurized milk. This is why we have to use our money more wisely to "vote" for local farmers, by buying from them.
But, not only that... there's a reason why so many people are lactose in-tolerant. It has to do with the breed of cow that produces the milk.
The stereotypical white cow with black spots produces milk that's missing a few chains of protein when compared to the older species of brown cows. Specifically it's the difference between the protein known as beta-casein... either being A1 or A2.
This is why milk will taste so different for people from different countries.
Similar with the grains, depending on the type of cow... you should only have dairy products sparingly.
However, a healthier alternative comes from goat's milk... because of the fact that it's the closest resembling human breast milk.
Another even better option is Kefir. Which is similar to probiotic yogurt that you often see... they both contain live active cultures of good bacteria to improve your digestion system.
Normally people will tell you to do this as to prevent yourself from choking on your meal.
However, drinking cold water during a meal may limit and dilute the effectiveness of the digestive enzymes in your stomach. Thus not all of the food would be properly broken down and absorbed.
It is a best practice to drink warm water or tea (close to your body's natural temperature) before a meal or at least a half hour after a meal. Also, unprocessed foods are often full of water and thus wouldn't require you to drink with them usually when compared to drier processed foods.
Drinking something warm first thing in the morning is also very important, opposed to something cold.
People may actually report that they feel better and lose weight by doing just this.
And of course make sure you're drinking enough water throughout the day regardless... but also consider the fact that if you eat lots of watery fruits and vegetables that they do count towards your required daily intake of water.
Also, one of the biggest causes of improper digestion still seems to come from people not chewing their food thoroughly enough.
It is possible to steam food, while only losing minimum nutrients if any at all. Another method is to very quickly sauteed on high heat... but again, it would need minimal time exposure to the heat.
Boiling food in water will cause the water to soak up all of the nutrients. This is okay however, if you plan on using the water in a soup.
Over-cooking meat to the point that it becomes black actually produces cancerous chemicals within the meat... anti-oxidants such as rosemeric found in the herb known as rosemary has the ability to counteract the effects however.
Beans, legumes, nuts, and seeds all contain high amounts of the female hormone estrogen.
Soy beans (or edamame) contain the most amount... which makes it very unhealthy for us to eat. Even if you are female it has dangerous hormone effects if too much is eaten. The most common products are seen as soy milk, soy sauce, and tofu.
In the case of children... it may delay puberty in boys, and accelerate it in girls if eaten too often.
The only thing that may render soybeans safe for human consumption would be fermenting it, which detoxifies the soy getting rid of the anti-nutrients that inhibit mineral absorption. Although, it's much less likely to find fermented soy compared to un-fermented soy.
For men, it may cause them to become sterile... unable to produce children. Beans and legumes also contain high amounts of anti-nutrients... as a sort of defense mechanism to protect themselves, similar to grains.
Nuts however usually feature a hard shell as they're defense mechanism, so they don't contain nearly as many anti-nutrients. Oh and peanuts are not really nuts... they are in fact legumes.
Thus, beans and legumes should be eaten sparingly .. seeds should be eaten on occasion (pumpkin seeds being the healthiest option)... and nuts may be eaten a bit more often (hard shell nuts like almonds are the best, along with a few others).
There actually is a way to dis-able many of the anti-nutrients... and that's if you soak beans, legumes, nuts, or seeds over night before eating them. This will allow them to begin to sprout, thus getting rid of the enzyme inhibitors that aren't good for our bodies.
Normally this statement would be correct... unless you live in the United States where over 90% of corn crops are genetically engineered (GMO), which still isn't required to be labeled.
In almost all other countries, it's at least required by law to be labeled so you can have a better chance to avoid them.
This is very bad, especially when you consider how many food products corn is added into simliar to how soy is over-used in many food products.
Other foods that are mostly genetically engineered include: sugar beets, potatoes, tomatoes, squash, golden rice, soybeans, vegetable oils (these aren't just the cooking kinds, but are the ones that get added to prepackaged foods that are commonly seen), animal feed (usually will also include soybeans, unless labels say otherwise).
Now the next thing is going to be salmon, as recent experiments are able to produce a fish that's twice the size of a natural salmon.
And don't be mislead... the reason why they are able to sell these genetically engineered foods legally is because they were deemed "safe"... but laboratories owned by the same companies that profit from selling them are the ones that deemed them to be "safe"... meanwhile small independent laboratories that did study their effects deemed them to be very harmful, and so now it's against the law in many countries for independent laboratories to conduct experiments with GMO foods.
Yes, it really is that ridiculous. To learn more about this you may want to watch this video.
The truth is that it's impossible to burn fat from a targeted area on your body. But you may build targeted muscle groups... so by performing exercises that will build muscle underneath a layer of fat, it will actually cause that part of your body to stick out more so.
Instead a full body workout is required to burn fat and build muscle evenly.
It is very easy to do too much cardio, in which it will actually cause your body to hold onto more fat than before. Especially if you reduce your caloric intake.
In reality the more muscle you have, the more fat your body naturally burns. And this is the key. You're not going to be burning the majority of your weight off directly through exercise routines... but naturally as your body will start to use it for energy throughout the day.
Also, running on the tread mill or doing repetitive movements for extended periods of time are horrible for your joints. Consider this... the average person that runs professionally never seems to live to as old an age as the average person that limits their running.
Most people think this is all they have to worry about... but the truth is that you're body will actually start to hold onto fat more the less calories you eat.
This explains why most people will lose weight in the beginning of their diets... but then find that they hit a plateau where it seems they can no longer lose anymore weight.
This is your body's natural defense mechanism... so the best thing you could do is to eat the roughly the same amount of food, but substitute fake food for real food.
The preservatives, added sugars, artificial nutrients, etc. found in processed foods are not good for you. Eating real food that is living like fruits and vegetables... and natural meat is the way we were suppose to eat.
Get rid of the chemical loads on your body from these fake foods, and you'll be amazed at how much more energy you'll have, how much clearer you're able to think, and how much better your body and skin will begin to look.

NYTimes profiles LaHood, HSR is what keeps him up at night
The New York Times has an interesting profile of Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood today. It focuses mainly on the fact that he's an erudite bipartisan bridge in the cabinet who actually has little experience in transportation. He's even quoted as saying that would be just as happy as Secretary of Agriculture. Yet despite his apparent indifference to transportation issue, there's one that catches his interest:
But one of the astonishing things about Mr. LaHood, 63, is how limited his transportation résumé is, how little excitement he exudes on the subject (other than about high-speed rail) and how little he seems to care who knows it.
Mr. LaHood describes himself as highly interested about issues relating to high-speed rail, and he has been a cheerleader for the administration's "green" transportation initiatives, like bicycle paths and streetcars. But vehicles are only a small part of his portfolio. "Yes, he's secretary of transportation, but he's kind of our ambassador at large," Mr. Emanuel said in an interview.
It's a good read about the man who is theoretically directing a lot of this all important stimulus money. And even if his particular interest wasn't high-speed rail and green transportation, he's at least toeing the party line of an administration that is proving to be very favorable to these issues.

PREPA Battery Storage Electric Grid Energy Efficiency Energy Policy Natural Gas Ratepayer Risk Renewables Solar Utility Trends Puerto Rico
IEEFA U.S.: Biden administration has historic opportunity to rebuild Puerto Rico electricity grid
January 27, 2021 (IEEFA) — The devastation caused by Hurricane Maria in 2017 highlighted Puerto Rico's "antiquated, expensive and fossil fuel-dependent" electricity grid, providing the Biden administration with an historic opportunity to transform a vital part of the island's economy.
The Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis (IEEFA) recommends in a new policy brief that the administration battle entrenched interests that have served Puerto Rico poorly with four basic steps to meet its campaign promise of "low-cost, reliable and clean electricity" for the island.
It should immediately halt the use of federal funds that encourage costly and unnecessary natural gas infrastructure. The Puerto Rico Electrical Power Authority (PREPA) wants to use $850 million in federal money to build natural gas projects around the island, despite objections from its regulator, the Puerto Rico Energy Bureau.
The Biden administration should push hard for the release of federal grants to be used for projects that strengthen resiliency, such as small-scale solar and battery systems that can provide power during prolonged outages.
Given Puerto Rico's long history of contracting scandals, expenditures of more than $10 billion in federal money that have been promised to modernize its grid should be monitored closely. IEEFA recommends the use of an Independent Private-Sector Inspector General to oversee the project, similar to the office used to supervise contracts for debris removal from the World Trade Center site after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.
The Biden administration needs to audit a restructuring agreement that covers $8.3 billion in legacy debt. The deal will require Puerto Rico to cover at least two-thirds of the amount owed, an unsustainable sum even before the global coronavirus pandemic and a series of earthquakes rattled the island's economy.
"Deep reform of Puerto Rico's antiquated, expensive and fossil fuel-dependent electrical system has been needed since long before Hurricane Maria devastated the grid," said Cathy Kunkel, an IEEFA energy finance analyst who developed the recommendations with Tom Sanzillo, the institute's director of financial analysis. "A new electrical system driven by renewable energy will support the goals of reliance, affordability and fiscal stability."

Labyrinthine Crew presents: Urlo In Silenzio, a work of Spiro Oblium.
Ispired by recordings of: sounds, noises, voices, soundscapes, musical instruments, synthesizers and situations.
Dimension eXtreme EP is the first release on Warromaja Records produced by Paranoia Sector.
It has four tracks which combine dark and chaotic sounds with powerful hightech noises.
Special thanks to Feratek, Osmosis and Warromaja Records for this release.
Coming up first is a brand new Axis Mundi original, blending morbidly humorous voices with clean, in-your-face bass, abstract, carefully arranged percussion and synth lines corrosive enough to eat the chrome from a car bumper. Rhythmic stutters collide with chaotic collusions to build segments of tension and release, topped off by resonant glassy pads and pitch-riding breakdowns.
The title track to this EP is written with passion and illustrates what drives its author along his path. Galloping percussion provides lopsided rhythm while tweaked, resonant filtered bleeps and blurps fill out the aural panorama. Reverbed snares sound crisp, adding to the groovy atmosphere of the beginning. The layers and tension build up subtly, but within a few minutes, the energy is in full firey bloom.
Inspired by a children's tale with a dimension-crossing story, this track is intended to pummel both dancefloors and egos, using touches of humore to imply a subtle message. Rhythmic slicing and elastic curtains of pads and sweeps are meant to give your body something to float on while dirty bass and low-frequency growls keep your feet and soul grounded.
Axis finishes his EP off with a bang. Having remixed Brazilian colleague Silent Enemy's frenzied darkpsy track with plenty of his signature psychedelic sounds, beat and bar manipulations, and adding contorted halftime breakbeat intros and segments. Keeping true to the original track's agressive full-moon mood, Axis' remix is an attempt to put the "Acid" back into "Acid Violence".
All rights reserved to the owner of the produced work.
Released on JellyFish Frequency Recordings.
Anomalistic Records & Lamat Records have joined forces to bring you "The Deeper Layers" from SooSpicey & Dirty Phreak. This collection of 5 mind-bending tracks is packed full of insane rythms, deranged arrangements, absurd melodies, and powerfull driving basslines. As the journey continues, you will fall deeper and deeper into the psyche….


The film If Beale Street Could Talk is a rarely in Hollywood – a black love story, played out by a largely African-American cast.
Barry Jenkins' movie If Beale Street Could Talk has three Oscar nods at this year's Academy Awards.
While it's not a patch on the eight nominations his acclaimed film Moonlight received in 2017, the 39-year-old director isn't fazed.
"There's only five slots, and for me to see it as a snub would mean that I see my work as being more worthy than someone else's and I never think of it that way.
"I wish we could have 30 slots and just celebrate everyone… I just feel very fortunate to be in the conversation at all.
"Even having won best picture with Moonlight, I try not to let that affect my relationship with my own work."
But he admits that winning an Academy Award has increased the number of eyes on his follow-up film. He said: "It piles on the attention, that's for sure."
The presentation of the best picture award - overseen by Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty - became the most memorable Oscar moment to date when La La Land was mistakenly announced as the winner.
Jenkins has since described it as "an out-of-body-experience".
The story brings together two seemingly disparate themes - love and injustice.
The film's miscarriage of justice is dealt out to Fonny Hunt, played by Canadian actor Stephan James, who is sent to jail for a crime he didn't commit.
When I ask the actor if the same thing could happen today, he tells me: "1000%. It's telling I didn't have to look back to the 1970s to see who I could base this character on… quite frankly I could have looked back to yesterday and found some example.
"The reality is it's happening far too often in the US and it's time to speak up."
James says his aim was "to bring a level of humanity to these men who never get their stories told".
While not denying there's still a long way to go, Jenkins has a more positive take on the current social situation.
"I think we've made a tonne of progress in certain ways. For someone like me to be centred in the way I was with Moonlight, and the way I have with this film - as a black storyteller telling a very black story - I think that's a symbol of progress.
"But I think we have to consider progress a direction not a destination. To say, 'Oh Moonlight won best picture, now it's all done, let's pack it all up, progress is here', would be a gross mistake. We have to keep checking in three years, five years from now to see if the progress we feel we see in the present day really has taken hold."
Jenkins says it's merely a case of cinema finally catching up with culture.
He tells me: "There are millions of black babies born every year, and those black babies are born out of love. So, ipso facto, we should see more of these black love stories. For me, all I can do is not be concerned about filling the vacuum and just try to do the best I can to tell these stories in the way they demand to be told."
James agrees: "It's crazy that in 2019 we say, wow, this looks different (a black love story), but we never get to see it.
"Part of the appeal of being in a film like this was understanding that this idea of black love doesn't exist because we never see it ever.
"To show black people as more than lovers, more than best friends, to show them as true soul mates - there's real power in that.
"I'm happy to bring something like that to the screen."
He said: "One of the things I love about writing films and writing screenplays is it's a very humbling process.
"No matter how many awards you have behind or ahead of you a blank page is a blank page. In that sense it's quite grounding."
"This idea of snubs would mean that I have an expectation of wanting or deserving something. Once I get to that point then I'm going to be separated from what's really important which is to create the best work that I can."

Q: bind a method with dynamic arguments I want to bind my clickHandler in my constructor for performance reasons and want to pass an index to the click Handler while render().
constructor(){
  this.clickHandler = this.clickHandler.bind(this);
}

render(){
  array.map(item,index)=>{
     <input onclick={this.clickHandler} />   //Here i want to pass the item & index as args
  }
}

Any suggessions?

A: create a handler then call it on onClick prop and  pass the index from there.
Example
// Creates and returns a function to be called with click event
clickHandler = index => event => {
  console.log(index)
}

<input onClick={this.clickHander(index)} />

or
clickHandler = (index, event) => {
 // handle here
}

<input onClick={() => this.clickHander(index, event)} />

use regular functions if you are using ES5

A: Create an anonymous function around it, in this way you'll be able to pass arguments to your function
     <input onclick={() => this.clickHandler(item,index)} />

In case your compiler doesn't support fat arrow syntax, you can
     <input onclick={function() {this.clickHandler(item,index)}} />

A: You could potentially use a kind of curried function:
    constructor(){
      this.clickHandler = this.clickHandler.bind(this);
    }

    clickHandler(index) {
        return function(e) {
          // do click things
        }.bind(this);
    }

    render(){
      array.map(item,index)=>{
         <input onclick={this.clickHandler(index)} />   //Here i want to pass the item & index as args
      }
}

You can't really avoid creating a new function callback for each index.

A: Try this. :)
render() {
    array.map((item,index) => <input onclick={() => this.clickHandler(item,index)} />)
}

Review: Original Tommy's
Hamburglar Hadley
5 Printer-Friendly Version
Published: May 17, 2005 Last Updated: August 9, 2018
Speeding toward Original Tommy's at Beverly and Rampart at 3 a.m. early Sunday morning, the first thing my drinkin', dining, 'n' driving companion and I spotted was not the blaring red signs famous across Los Angeles for marking the location of the city's favorite chiliburgers, nor the parking-lot shack that started it all 54 years ago. What really caught our eye was the ring of about forty cops standing in the neighboring lot, as more and more squad cars pulled up for support. Had the Crips and Bloods backed out of their truce? Was Robert Downey Jr. on the loose and jonesing again? Had the Governator flipped a circuit and gotten stuck on kill mode?
Tommy's considerable legend began when first-generation Greek-American Tommy Koulax opened his shop in 1946 and praise spread through word of mouth, as it does still does today, as Tommy's does not advertise. Known for its legion of imitators and for the hamburger-eating contest it supports at USC, it is recommended that you ward off charlatans using and abusing the Tommy's name by looking for the shack depicted on the red sign. This location, the first of 27 Tommy's, serves more than 15,000 hungry burger lovers a week, according to well, Tommy's.
We took our place in the considerable line, made up completely of well-dressed and even-better coiffed Latino twenty-somethings (think Y Tu Mama También, not American Me) and the gorgeously put-together chicas who love them. Three thugged-out and tattooed security guards clung tight to one another in anticipation of some skulls to bust, buoyed by the presence of the entire LAPD next door.
As the line speedily snaked along, the parking lot provided more than enough scenery to take in, with a collection of bangers and bros getting together to talk cars, girls, and burgers. Plus, as you get closer to the heat of the grill, you can watch the burgers a-cookin' by the white-uniformed staff. Although faint shit-talking was detected, possibly spawned by the length of the line or the presence of an out-of-favor army of Rampart cops, the love emanating from the kitchen was palpable. Once our five-minute wait was up, the burgers were our only point of focus. Stepping up to the repetitive-motion-stressed cooks, we made our order, which was met instantaneously by our delectable chili cheeseburgers being plopped in our hands for under $2 a pop. Could they be using the new HyperActive Bob technology or are they just "that damn on it" at Tommy's? We can only wonder.
The strategy behind eating one of Tommy's delicious burgers after a night of copious liquor, quaffed to the tune of an 18-piece Brazilian band at Little Pedro's Blue Bongo, is questionable for sure. Even more so when that sucker is unwrapped from its thin wax paper at the chairless counters that dominate Tommy's. Chili gets everywhere. Yes, everywhere. The bite is what matters though, and Tommy's does not disappoint. Although the patty and bun look a little more Ronald than Angus, the taste is simultaneously comforting and new, warm chili contrasting brilliantly with the fresh toppings of a double-cheese, pickle, onion, and beefsteak tomato.
Sometimes a messy burger is in order, and the generous amount of oozing chili intermingled with the soft patty and melted cheese at Tommy's make for an unrivaled taste combination that is both delicious and nutritious—OK, well, one out of two ain't bad. As the burger quickly soaked up a stomach of vodka and Newcastle, I was tempted to go for a second, something my stomach and the other passenger in the car would undoubtedly regret.
Scarfing down the last bites, it became apparent what some of the adjacent fuss was about. Although 50-plus cops seems to be an overwhelming response to one skinheaded gangbanger, it was one more dude off the streets and a lesson to those who seek to menace hamburger lovers the world over. Overlooking Rampart one last time, my partner-in-crime jumped behind the wheel of his low-key Nissan Maxima and we headed West toward a new horizon, a new day, and new burgers.

M.anifest Returns With Innovative New Project The E.P.ilogue
Image via Instagram - Manifestivities
A year after his critically acclaimed Madina To The Universe album, award-winning Ghanaian rap artiste and musician M.anifest unveils an innovative new project titled The E.P.ilogue.
Created throughout 2022, while M.anifest was touring across Europe and America, including packed out shows in London, New York, Oakland and Berlin, to mention a few, the 6-track project comes with international collaborations with Anik Khan (New York), M.I Abaga (Lagos), WavyPae (Atlanta), Alee (Accra), and a surprise written introduction from world-renowned writer Nayyirah Waheed.
The E.P.ilogue
The E.P.ilogue continues on from where M.anifest left off on last year's album, as he brings his captivating lyricism and rich global sounds to the forefront once again, to deliver a bold, creative and expansive offering that brings his Madina To The Universe journey to a cohesive wholeness. It was crafted with production from frequent collaborators MikeMillzOn'Em (Busta Rhymes, DarkoVibes), Drvmroll (Burna Boy, Frisco), Joey Turks (SuperJazzClub), Guy Furious (Dreamville, Nicole Scherzinger), and Rvdical The Kid (Tems, Amaarae), most of whom were involved in the making of the Madina To The Universe album.
Official Tracklist - The E.P.ilogue
As the acclaimed Nayyirah Waheed aptly puts it, "From creating a new form to introducing new sound - it is new forms of Universes he continues to explore on MTTU + The E.P.ilogue. Here, M.anifest is inventing creations. He is touching everywhere from Madina to the universe and beyond. He is unafraid of the After - and taking us straight into the end of a universe + what comes After. M.anifest is a new astronaut. The E.P.ilogue is a new astronaut. It's time for new astronauts".
The project opens with a reflective M.anifest on GPS as he waxes lyrical about coming a long way and being guided on his journey. Nigerian music legend M.I Abaga then joins him on the much anticipated collaboration Too Bad with both rap icons trading verses about their longevity in Africa's rap game and how they have a lot more to give. The smooth Wussup with Anik Khan sees M.anifest in flirtatious mode, while Plenty Feelings is an intimate romantic conversation, with Travel Noir and Times Square revealing M.anifest's musing on travel, ambition and reaching the furthermost parts of the universe.
The E.P.ilogue represents yet another bold and resonant offering from the consistent and unwavering Ghanaian musician.

One of the brightest stars in classical music, teenage cellist Sheku Kanneh-Mason has been announced as one of the musicians at the Wedding Service of Prince Harry and Ms. Meghan Markle next month.
19-year-old cellist, Sheku Kanneh-Mason won BBC Young Musician 2016, made his BBC Proms debut the following year, and released his debut album, 'Inspiration', earlier this year. Sheku is a student at the Royal Academy of Music and combines his studies there with a busy international concert career. He is passionate about making classical music accessible to all and is Junior Ambassador for the music education charity London Music Masters. Last June, Prince Harry saw Sheku play at an event in London in support of the work of Antiguan charity the Halo Foundation.
It is the latest chapter in Sheku's extraordinary career so far, which has seen him catapulted into the spotlight following his triumph as winner of BBC Young Musician 2016.
Sheku made chart history with his debut album, 'Inspiration', which was released earlier this year on Decca Classics and features his personal selection of music – from Shostakovich's Cello Concerto No.1 to Bob Marley's 'No Woman, No Cry'. It was recorded in Birmingham and his hometown of Nottingham with the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra (CBSO) and Music Director Mirga Gražinytė-Tyla.
Sheku's version of Bob Marley's 'No Woman, No Cry' went viral worldwide and he became the first BBC Young Musician winner to enter the Official UK Albums Chart with a debut recording, as well as the youngest cellist ever to reach the Top 20. He is one of this year's biggest breakthrough artists – across any genre.
Sheku has been on a whirlwind adventure in the past few years – performing twice at the BAFTAs, playing at 10 Downing Street for the 30th anniversary of Black History Month, making his BBC Proms and Carnegie Hall debuts, performing at Paris Fashion Week, as well as high-profile TV appearances (including two BBC documentaries) and a busy international concert career. All this whilst completing his A-Levels and starting his studies at the Royal Academy of Music in London.
Sheku comes from an incredible musical family in which all 6 of his siblings (he is the third child of 7) play instruments to a phenomenally high standard – yet neither parents are musicians.
Sheku Kanneh-Mason has garnered huge critical acclaim for his performances with The Times describing him as "spellbinding" and "magnetic". The Royal Wedding is sure to be an unforgettable day for this amazing teenager.


Teacher's Notes: Last week we learned that as Christians, we should be imitating Jesus Christ. And we found that in order to do that, we need to get to know Him better. So this week, we will begin to look at how Jesus reacted to different situations, and consider what we can learn from it. This week's lesson will focus on Jesus' temptation by Satan in the wilderness, and how Jesus used Scripture as a sword to defeat him.
Opening prayer: Lord, thank You for each student who's here, today. And thank You for Your Word, our Holy Bible. Help us, this week, to understand how important it is to know Your Word, and be ready to use it when we're facing temptation. And thank You for Your Holy Spirit, and the way He helps us learn and remember what You've taught us. Open our ears and hearts to Your lesson for us today. Amen.
In our lesson today, we're going to see that Jesus had to fight a dangerous enemy; it was Satan. But He didn't go into the battle empty-handed. Jesus had "the sword of the Spirit," which is the Word of God, ready to use. And He also knew the right way to use it!
Last week we talked about becoming imitators of Jesus Christ. So this week we're going to find out how He defeated Satan, when he came to tempt Jesus to do wrong. And we'll find out how we can learn to defeat Satan the very same way!
Do you ever feel tempted to do something you know would not be pleasing to God? You have a choice…to give in to the temptation, or fight against it. But in order to fight, you would need a weapon. Jesus gave us a great example of what to use as a weapon against our greatest enemy, Satan.
2And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred.
3And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.
4But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
11Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.
Satan does not wait until we are ready and watching for him to strike. He often strikes when we're tired and weary, and he thinks we are weak. And this is just what he did with Jesus. He met Jesus there, in the wilderness, and began his attack right where He thought Jesus would be the weakest at that moment…His need for food.
We can learn a very important lesson from this temptation, too. When we do use God's Word to help us through a temptation, or to remind us of God's promises, it is important to understand those verses, as well as the ones around them. We call that using the verse "in context." So when we learn a memory verse, let's make sure we understand what that verse really means!
So in our journey to become more like Jesus Christ, what have we learned from His temptation that we can use in our lives today?
We learned that we can use Bible verses as a spiritual sword in our war against Satan, and his temptations.
We learned that if we want to be able to use this weapon (God's Word), we need to spend time hiding God's Word in our hearts, so it will be there when we get ready to pull it out.
We also found out that Satan tried using God's Word, too. But he used verses that didn't fit the situation to try to trick Jesus. We need to understand the verses we are learning so we can apply them properly in our lives.
We learned that Satan can make an offer sound really good. But if what he offers means we have to disobey God, then we need to remember that it's God, and only God that we serve.
Remember, though, that it's important to use the Bible verses as God intended them. This verse was written by the apostle Paul to believers in Christ who were living in a way that was pleasing God…they were doing all they could to help meet Paul's needs.
And like this verse, we can find many other promises from our Heavenly Father in His Word. If we learn them (hide them in our hearts) then, when Satan comes to tempt us, or we become discouraged or afraid, we can pull out our swords of the Spirit and fight against those foes…and beat them, just like Jesus did!
Closing Prayer: Lord, thank You for Your Holy Word that can lead us and guide us, and help us get through temptations. And thank You for Your Holy Spirit, who can bring to our minds the verses we have learned. Help us to be diligent to hide Your Words in our hearts, so we won't sin against You. And most of all, Lord, thank You for Your Son, Jesus Christ, who shows us what You are like. Help us to want to know You better, so we can become more like Christ in everything we think, and say, and do. Remind us, as we go through this week, to be like Jesus and use Your Word when Satan comes to tempt us. Amen.
Class Discussion/ Activity: Ask the students if they remember be tempted by anything this week. (for example: to take something that didn't belong to them, to read or watch or listen to something they shouldn't, to say something unkind to or about someone, etc.) Then encourage the students to take turns reciting any verses they have memorized before that might help with these temptations. For example: "Thou shalt not steal." Exodus 20:15, when you're tempted to take something that does not belong to you.
Then encourage the students to try to become more aware, this week, of times when Satan is tempting them to do wrong. Recognizing the temptation is a big part of winning the battle, too!

Q: Custom PDF creation - Large images Looking for a Java based PDF creation library. We're currently using Apache Velocity with HTML to render PDFs on the fly.
We'd like to be able to find a way to render large images (sometimes as big as 3000 x 1700) in a creative manner within the PDF container. For instance, a scrollable image pane within a PDF. This might not be possible within a PDF, I might be wrong.
Open source would ideal.

A: For a good PDF library you should take a look at iText: http://itextpdf.com/
I have used images of around 5000x4000 with iText without any problems.
I don't know if it is possible to create a working scrollpane inside a PDF, unless of course you were doing it through a custom PDF creator/viewer.
iText is open source but make sure to check out the AGPL license before you use it commecrially: http://itextpdf.com/terms-of-use/agpl.php

A: For just creating PDF files from images iText is a little overdimensioned. Give xsPDF a chance, it has no limits for images sizes and seems to be appropriate for your problem.

A: Just a FYI for anyone that may run into this in the future:
I used a library called PDFBox (http://pdfbox.apache.org/) to open a pre-existing PDF and modify the PDF with a custom sized PDFRectangle with the dimensions of the image. Then inserted the image and rectangle into that new page and got the desired results.
I didn't realize you could have multiple page sizes in a single PDF.

'This is going to be a castle': What's in store for this Swansea entertainment complex
Charles Winokoor
SWANSEA — "This is going to be a castle," Joe Estrela said.
Perhaps not literally, but the Swansea resident says his multi-faceted activities and entertainment complex now being built on Route 6 will definitely have a medieval flair.
Estrela said the idea of creating a family oriented, indoor recreation and dining facility had been percolating in his mind the past 10 years.
A vacation stay in a former castle in Ireland that had been converted into a hotel sealed the deal in terms of historical motif.
The two-story 87,000-square-foot building that will house Silver Stone Castle & Family Entertainment is being constructed on a 19-acre site at 358 GAR Highway — which, up until 2016, had been a miniature golf, driving range and batting cage business called Coles River Family Fun Center.
Estrela estimates his total investment, including purchase of the land in 2019, eventually will likely come close to $20 million.
What types of activities are planned
The somewhat eclectic mixture of activities and amenities will feature a two-story, electric go-kart track, a "resort-style" 120-foot-long swimming pool and a restaurant/tavern with seating for 230 with an option for warm-weather, outdoor dining.
He said his independent restaurant won't be a chain eatery and will feature basic American fare but with a Portuguese overtones.
Silver Stone Castle & Family Entertainment will also include a 220-person ballroom that can be broken up into separate sections, four to five smaller birthday party and private event rooms, an arcade with games and a rock climbing wall.
Estrela says if Swansea selectmen give him the green light he would like to keep the entire facility open from 11 a.m. to as late as midnight.
He initially considered incorporating laser tag, amusement rides and an overhead rope course but ultimately decided that it wouldn't be feasible.
The rear of the building, Estrela said, will be equipped with an outdoor deck with a clear view of the Coles, or Cole's, River that extends from Dighton through Rehoboth and Swansea.
He said the interior structure will be equipped with soundproof walls to prevent audible spillover from one section of the facility to the other.
Estrela says his father, Gabriel, owner and founder of Atlantic Lighting, a commercial lighting manufacturer in the Fall River Industrial Park, and his mother, Eduarda, have supported him in terms of monetary investment.
Estrela noted that prior to embarking on his ambitious project he'd spent 23 years working at his father's business.
He says his mother, in particular, has collaborated with him to design and make the front entrance area of the property more attractive.
In addition to a photogenic archway, suitable for special events, and 8-foot-high rose bushes, plans are in the works to create a waterfall and at least two small ponds with water fountains.
Estrela expects to eventually hire as many as 120 people to work at Silver Stone Castle & Family Entertainment, which he said should be open to the public by next September.
He says his sister Aimee Cyr is the franchisee of the new Camp Bow Wow dog daycare and boarding center, which sits less than half a mile away at 222 GAR Highway.
"My family now owns the land from the edge of her building to Coles River," Estrela said.
Estrela says the town's board of selectmen have been "gracious and supportive" of his plans to redevelop what for the past five years has been a large, unused tract of land.
This includes, he said, their having granted him a full liquor license well in advance of opening his restaurant.
Traffic concerns on Route 6
Estrela said access to his site from heavily traveled Route 6 will incorporate a single entrance lane and two exit lanes for right- and left-hand turns.
What he really wants is for the state to install traffic lights to create a three-way intersection on the only section of Route 6 in Swansea that he says has a speed limit of 50 mph.
"It's a long strip of road here (and) it would be beneficial for everybody," he said.
For that to happen, Estrela said, the town would have to petition the state to agree to install traffic signals to ensure that visitors can more safely drive in and out of the site.
Estrela is a graduate of Diman Regional Vocational Technical High School in Fall River. He calls himself "a hands-on guy" who built his own house and still enjoys operating construction equipment.
Before embarking on his project he says he sought out market research on similar business ventures but had difficulty finding what he wanted.
He instead took trips in 2017 and 2018 to Orlando where an expo show with a variety of different vendors is held each year.
"That's where I really learned most of my stuff," Estrela said.
He says there will be 300 parking spaces, most of which will be behind the building.
Estrela initially planned to have closer to 400 spaces but was forced to reduce that number because of wetland and flood zone restrictions.
"I had to add eight feet to lift the building," off of the flood zone, he said.
He's going to remove a row of old telephone poles behind his building — which will also have a number of additions to accommodate various activities — where netting used to be attached to catch driving-range golf balls.
Estrela said he envisions Silver Stone Castle & Family Entertainment as a first-rate operation.
"I pride myself on cleanliness and beauty," he said. "Everything has to be clean and look good."
'A Swansea guy'
Estrela said he got offers from officials in Seekonk, Rehoboth and Somerset to locate his entertainment and activities complex in their towns.
And even though he said he believes he could have saved some money by settling in any of those three municipalities he ultimately opted for his hometown.
"I'm a Swansea guy," Estela said. "I spent a little more so I could stay in my town."
He also notes that the town stands to benefit from the property taxes he'll be paying but says it's too early to say exactly how much it will be.
