The Standard's coverage of the Police Courts of the Metropolis at the engining of June make fairly grim reading. At Lambeth two brothers were arrested for being drunk and disorderly whilst daring each other to jump off Lambeth Bridge. When the case came to court their elderly mother revealed that the wife of one of them had died earlier week, having thrown herself off Shot Tower Wharf.
'The grave is my home. I have no husband. Let me go and drown myself'.
Her husband appeared in court and told Mr Slade he could think of no reason why she'd do such a thing. The magistrate, rather unsympathetically, sent her to prison for a week.
He was perhaps mindful that there was something of an epidemic of women trying to do away with themselves and was trying to issue a warning that the action was a crime that would be punished. Ellen Dalman (38) was also charged with attempting suicide. A policeman saw the book folder running down the stairs at London Bridge and intercepted her before she was able to plunge into the murky waters of the Thames.
Slade remanded her for a week so that enquiries could be made into her domestic circumstances and mental health.
At Wandsworth a former major in the army tried to avoid the disgrace of being arrested for drunk and disorderly behaviour by giving a false name. The justice – Mr Paget – saw through his subterfuge and fined him 10s for the drunkenness and gave him a dressing down for not admitting to who he really was.
Over at Bow Street (where the reporter offered a short recap of the cases there rather than any detail) another woman was prosecuted for attempting to drown herself; her mother promised she would ensure no further attempts were made and she was released. A clearly disturbed woman who'd smashed up the windows and property of a man she described as 'disreputable' was sent to a hospital instead of being imprisoned, showing some level of appreciation for her condition at least.
Finally a drunken man was prosecuted at Thames before Mr Saunders for beating up a young woman who was his neighbour and damaging property to the value of £4. She might have suffered a worse fate had not several locals 'rushed in and released her' from his clutches. The man, Michael Lynch, was sent to prison at hard labour for three months.
All of this was published in the Tuesday morning edition of the paper. The Standard was a daily paper with a morning and evening edition by the 1880s. It was broadly conservative in its outlook and reached an audience of over 200,000 by the turn of the 20th century. It has a long history, surviving into the 21st century under its current Russian owners and becoming a free paper for Londoners.

The Real Reason The Stars Of Bones Sued The Show
Fox/YouTube
By Patrick Phillips/March 16, 2022 1:56 pm EST
Throughout its 12-season, 245-episode primetime run on Fox, "Bones" ranked among the goriest and shamelessly goofy shows on television, and it's legacy continues to live on many years after it finished airing. The series, which ran from 2005 to 2017, is a compelling procedural drama that merely tempers its bloody, D.C. area tales of murder and mayhem with occasional bouts of gore and gags. At the center of almost every single investigation are the brilliant minds of Forensic Anthropologist Temperance "Bones" Brennan and FBI Special Agent Seely Booth, played by Emily Deschanel and David Boreanaz, respectively.
But surprisingly, it seems that Deschanel and Boreanaz's full run in the show very nearly wasn't the case, as the "Bones" stars actually filed a lawsuit against Fox in 2015 that many thought might derail the series moving forward. They did so alongside Kathy Reichs, who wrote the novels that inspired "Bones," seeking millions in damages. Here's why Deschanel and Boreanaz sued the show that helped make them household names.
Deschanel and Boreanaz felt they weren't getting properly compensated
As is often the case in such circumstances, fair compensation was indeed at the center of Emily Deschanel and David Boreanaz's lawsuit against Fox. Unlike many similar cases, however, the "Bones" stars were not merely looking for a per episode raise for their work in the show. As reported by TVLine in 2015, the duo were instead seeking to ensure Fox executives lived up to their contractual agreement to pay the series' headliners (who also served as executive producers) 3% of all profits generated by the show, including syndication and licensing fees.
Per The Hollywood Reporter, these particular fees were the basis of Deschanel and Boreanaz's complaint, as they believed that Fox was not being forthright about how they were charging affiliates, and particularly the streaming platform Hulu, to air episodes of "Bones." To their credit, the actors continued working on "Bones" for several years as the case played out in courts. Per the same THR report, Deschanel and Boreanaz were vindicated — and then some — in 2019, when an initial ruling came down in their favor to the tune of $179 million.
On appeal, that number was trimmed to $51 million, with the parties eventually settling the matter for good by agreeing to an undisclosed sum outside of court. But any way you cut it, this was a major win for the stars of "Bones," and it will hopefully ensure others are paid what they are due by major production companies in the future.

Q: Join two strings in Terraform I have two strings in Terraform:
"1.1.1.1,2.2.2.2"

"3.3.3.3,4.4.4.4"

How do I get
"1.1.1.1,2.2.2.2,3.3.3.3,4.4.4.4"

Seems very trivial, but could not find a function/workaround for it.

A: string templates and join are the immediate solutions I reach for:
locals {
  string1 = "1.1.1.1,2.2.2.2"

  string2 = "3.3.3.3,4.4.4.4"

  strings_join = join(",", [local.string1, local.string2])

Movie Review: The Killer Elite

The Killer Elite opens 9/23. Buy tickets now on Fandango.com.
Find out more about The Killer Elite at killerelite.com
I went to see "The Killer Elite" last week at a special press screening and I have to say I was blown away. I'm not normally one for assassin vs. assassin movies, but "The Killer Elite" is more than just your typical violence for the sake of violence film – it's actually a real interesting story about trained assassins, government corruption and the role the West has played in the Middle East. Entirely relevant for the current culture and political times today.
Both myself and Lisa, who came along, walked out after seeing it surprised at how much we really enjoyed the film because, at the end of the day, it told a compelling, redemptive story. Added bonus? Yvonne Strahovski (Sarah Walker from Chuck) plays the romantic lead.
"Based on a shocking true story, Killer Elite pits two of the world's most elite operatives – Danny, an ex-special ops agent (Jason Statham) and Hunter, his longtime mentor (Robert De Niro) – against the cunning leader of a secret military society (Clive Owen). Covering the globe from Australia to Paris, London and the Middle East, Danny and Hunter are plunged into a highly dangerous game of cat and mouse — where the predators become the prey."
Non-Spoilery Verdict:
Come for the explosions, car chases, stellar cast and leave with a compelling story.
Jason Statham does what he does best in this role: he plays the hard on the outside, teddy bear on the inside lead. As Danny he gets to really play with the tortured soul who is pulled back into the assasian business because of his friend. Robert DeNiro gets to play an excellent role as a foil for Jason's character adding to every scene he's in without having to outshine the rest of the cast. Yvonne gets to play a good Australian country girl, and even though her role is smaller than the male leads, she really lights up the screen at every turn. I was pleasantly surprised that her character wasn't as flat as I had anticipated she might be in this very male genre film.
Clive Owen is masterful and gripping in his role. Of the three male leads I really believed his character most of all.
At the beginning the movie did feel more like an independent film (long, non-actiony type shots), but the action picked up and left me interested through out. There were a couple unexpected turns that the movie made that I wasn't expecting and the overall message was redemption is possible and who you were does not have to define who you become.
Downsides to the movie (for me) was it was rated R for language (brief nudity) and violence (though the violence wasn't as bad as I thought it may be).
This is a really great movie based on a non-fiction book The Feather Men and I recommend you go see it for yourself.

'So pleased and thankful' - Woman makes more than 100 headbands for NHS staff
Published: 4:26 PM April 27, 2020
Updated: 7:16 PM November 22, 2020
Amanda Barnard, Boots assistand manager in Great Yarmouth has made over 100 headbands to make PPE more comfortable for hospital staff Picture: Boots - Credit: Archant
A woman has made more than 100 headbands to ease the discomfort of NHS workers who are sore and bruised from having to wear face masks all day.
Amanda Barnard, assistant manager at Boots in Gapton Hall, Great Yarmouth, has been making the accessories in her spare time.
The 49-year-old delivers them to the James Paget University Hospital in Gorleston or passes them to a friend who is a nurse.
They are made with a button so that the elastic of the face mask can hook around this instead of the ears, to help alleviate the ear pain.
Mrs Barnard, a mother of three from Great Yarmouth said: "I saw on social media nurses posting about their ears hurting from constantly wearing face masks so I wanted to help.
"One of my hobbies is upcycling materials so I created the headbands from fabric that I've collected over the years.
"It takes around half an hour to make the headbands and the nurses were so pleased and thankful when they received them."


In an exclusive interaction with Restaurant India, Deepta Gupta, Executive VP, Bikanervala shares, how non-traditional locations are doing the right business for restaurants.
What are the reason to choose locations like hospitals, campuses and railway stations when opening your store?
When we plan to open a store in these types of places we keep in mind that we have to serve better than others focusing on customer satisfaction, as we already know that these places are not so luxurious to have food randomly. We provide them good and hygienic food at a reasonable price.
How do you trend these locations differently from other locations?
Our main concept is to satisfy our customers by providing them good and hygienic food at a reasonable price. Basically, we all know that these places are reasonable and everybody can come and eat at our outlets and by this way we are increasing customer satisfaction and customer database and also spreading our brand name.
What is the business drawn out of these locations?
If our customer footfall is high at these places automatically sale will increase and making it profitable for us. And most of these outlets are running with good profit and we are happy with them.
How is the marketing strategy done for these locations?
Marketing is one of the departments where we have to work smart and hard, a very long list of companies where we have to set a strategy of marketing. Lots of companies are competitors and they also want customer growth; it's not an easy task to do. We have to give our 100 per cent effort on marketing strategy, because any outlet first of all depends on your marketing strategy. And we can't open a store if it has less footfall rather it should have heavy footfall of customers.
And the type of customers based in that particular location is also important, so that our outlet and our price should be according to that. This is not enough, there is also lots of points which need to keep in mind at the time of marketing strategy.
What is the number of non-traditional location's outlet?
We have total 70 outlets including where we are having good business.
What is the per cent of business done out of these locations?
Total percentage of business done is out of these location is 5 per cent out of total business done.
What is the expected growth from these sites?
We are expecting 25 per cent- 30 per cent growth in year on year basis.

To mark its 75th anniversary, Naval Weapons Station Seal Beach invited the public to come aboard a U.S. Navy warship last weekend and it drew big crowds.
Around 8,000 people visited the base for free guided tours of the USS Princeton over March 23-24, according to Public Affairs Officer Gregg T. Smith.
It was the first public ship tour at the base since 2012.
"Our Sailors, Marines and civilian staff were amazed and humbled by the great support the public has shown for the base, USS Princeton, and our Navy in general," Smith wrote in an email message to the Sun.
The USS Princeton is a guided missile cruiser and was commissioned in 1989, according to the U.S. Navy's website. The warship was named after the Battle of Princeton in the Revolutionary War and has served in support of the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz.
Crew members of the USS Princeton lead the tours which lasted about 45 minutes. Visitors were able to ask questions and learn detailed information about the ship's features including its firepower. One crewmember estimated the ship had 75 guns.
The tour went to multiple levels of the ship including into the bridge and even down into the Combat Information Center to see where threats are tracked. That was the only area where pictures were not allowed to be taken.
Founded in 1944, Naval Weapons Station Seal Beach "is the primary munitions installation for the Navy's Pacific Fleet." It stores Navy and Marine Corps munitions and provides Navy and Coast Guard ships with munitions.
The base is currently preparing for major renovations to the area that services visiting ships in Anaheim Bay.
The plan includes a replacement ammunition pier that would be able to accommodate larger vessels and more traffic.

Federal-Mogul Reports Fourth Quarter and Full-Year 2015 Results
Strong sales growth, largely offset by currency exchange rate fluctuations
Gross profit increase of $45 million, or 20% in Q4 2015
38% improvement in Operational EBITDA in Q4 2015, despite negative currency exchange rate impact; net loss of $58 million, driven by $98 million of non-cash impairment and restructuring charges
SOUTHFIELD, Mich., Feb. 29, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Federal-Mogul Holdings Corporation (NASDAQ:FDML) today announced financial results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2015. Net sales for the fourth quarter were $1,798 million, compared to $1,795 million in Q4 2014. Net sales increases from the acquired valvetrain business, as well as from strong domestic aftermarket sales in the U.S. and Canada, were offset by a $132 million negative impact from currency exchange rate fluctuations. Gross profit was $270 million, an improvement of $45 million, or 20 percent, compared with Q4 2014, despite a $21 million negative impact from currency exchange rate fluctuations. The increase in gross profit was primarily driven by operational improvements in both divisions. Net loss from continuing operations attributable to Federal-Mogul in the quarter was $58 million, or $(0.36) per share, which included the impact of non-cash impairment and restructuring charges of $98 million. Adjusted net income in Q4 2015 was $37 million, or $0.22 per share. Operational EBITDA in Q4 2015 was $164 million, up $45 million or 38 percent compared to Q4 2014, including a $12 million negative impact from currency exchange rate fluctuations.
For the full-year 2015, the company reported net sales of $7,419 million, compared to $7,317 million in 2014. Sales from acquired businesses as well as organic sales growth were largely offset by the negative impact of currency exchange rate fluctuations. Gross profit was $1,074 million, up $17 million or 2 percent, compared with full-year 2014, despite a $113 million negative impact from currency exchange rate fluctuations. Net loss from continuing operations attributable to Federal-Mogul for the full-year 2015 was $117 million, or $(0.71) per share, which included the impact of non-cash impairment and restructuring charges of $215 million. Adjusted net income for full-year 2015 was $114 million, or $0.69 per share. Operational EBITDA for full-year 2015 was $644 million, up $14 million or 2 percent compared to 2014, including an $84 million negative impact from currency exchange rate fluctuations.
Division Results
Powertrain Division
Federal-Mogul's Powertrain division reported fourth quarter revenue of $1,066 million, compared to $1,039 in the prior year period. The increase in Powertrain's revenue was principally driven by the valvetrain business acquired from TRW and was partially offset by a $75 million negative impact from currency exchange rate fluctuations.
Operational EBITDA for the fourth quarter 2015 was $105 million or 9.9 percent of revenue, the best quarterly performance in 2015, and a $14 million improvement over Q4 2014's Operational EBITDA of $91 million, or 8.8 percent of revenue.
2015 full-year Powertrain revenue was $4,450 million, compared to $4,430 million in 2014. The increase in revenue, principally from the inclusion of the acquired valvetrain business, was largely offset by a $407 million negative impact from currency exchange rate fluctuations. Excluding revenue associated with valvetrain sales, the division experienced a modest increase in revenue of nearly 1 percent, reflecting the effect of healthy North American and European light vehicle markets, declining light and commercial vehicle markets in Brazil and Russia and a declining global heavy-duty and industrial market.
Demand for Powertrain's emission-reducing and fuel-efficient technologies remained strong in 2015 with new and replacement bookings in excess of 110 percent of sales, making a strong contribution to future business.
Powertrain's 2015 Operational EBITDA of $428 million, or 9.6 percent of revenue, was $3 million less when compared to $431 million or 9.7 percent of revenue in 2014. The full-year Operational EBITDA provided by the acquired valvetrain business as well as performance improvements in the second half of 2015 were not enough to cover the negative impact of almost $60 million in currency exchange rate fluctuations, the global decline in mining, construction and agricultural equipment production, and the recessions in Brazil and Russia.
Rainer Jueckstock, Federal-Mogul co-CEO and CEO, Federal-Mogul Powertrain commented, "Powertrain's performance in 2015 is a reflection of both the success we found in the rapid and efficient integration of TRW's valvetrain business and the year-long challenges faced with currency exchange rate fluctuations, the fallout of the global industrial engine markets, and the significant car and truck production volume declines in Russia and Brazil." Jueckstock continued, "The first half of the year tested our ability to respond quickly to these changing market dynamics. By the second half of the year, our operations had stabilized and we are now delivering an improved operating performance demonstrated by a 9.9 percent Operational EBITDA margin in the fourth quarter – the best return on revenue in 2015."
Motorparts Division
Federal-Mogul's Motorparts division reported fourth quarter revenue of $792 million, compared to $823 million in the prior year period. Organic sales growth of $26 million was more than offset by a $57 million negative impact from currency exchange rate fluctuations.
At constant exchange rates, Americas sales of $447 million were up 6 percent, primarily driven by strong domestic aftermarket sales in the U.S. and Canada, which were up 9 percent in the quarter. EMEA sales of $285 million were down 3 percent compared to Q4 2014, mainly due to softness in Western European aftermarket and OE sales. Asia Pacific sales remained strong year-over-year and, at constant rates, were up 15 percent, with increases in both aftermarket and OE sales.
In Q4 2015, the Motorparts division recorded a $31 million increase in Operational EBITDA to $59 million, or 7.4 percent of revenue, compared to $28 million, or 3.4 percent of revenue in Q4 2014. The $31 million EBITDA improvement included further benefits from the integration of the Affinia chassis and Honeywell brake component acquisitions, benefits from prior period restructuring actions, improved operational performance and commercial actions. These benefits were partially offset by incremental costs associated with the continuing ramp-up of new major distribution centers in Southern California and Eastern Pennsylvania. As a result of the company's distribution center realignment, U.S. distribution costs increased by $7 million versus the prior year period.
2015 full-year Motorparts revenue was $3,253 million, compared to $3,192 million in 2014. Revenue growth, driven principally from the full-year benefit of the Affinia chassis and Honeywell brake component acquisitions, was largely offset by a $235 million negative impact from currency exchange rate fluctuations.
Motorparts' full-year 2015 Operational EBITDA of $216 million, or 6.6 percent of revenue, was up $17 million when compared to $199 million, or 6.2 percent of revenue in 2014. Adjusting for the $26 million negative impact from currency exchange rate fluctuations, EBITDA increased by $43 million, or 25 percent, in 2015 compared to 2014.
Daniel Ninivaggi, Federal-Mogul co-CEO and CEO, Federal-Mogul Motorparts commented, "Our fourth quarter results reflect improved operating and financial performance driven by our prior investments in productivity initiatives, restructuring actions, our globally-recognized brands and the integration of recently acquired businesses. While our financial performance improves, we are also continuing to invest in building a world-class distribution network and in various other strategic initiatives such as our 'Tech First' platform to support technicians and repair shops. During the fourth quarter, we also entered into two joint venture relationships to strategically expand our presence in China and Thailand, positioning Federal-Mogul Motorparts to play a meaningful role in the development of the independent aftermarket in the Asia Pacific region. I would like to thank our loyal customers and my colleagues at Federal-Mogul Motorparts for their continuing support as we transform our company into a world-class provider of products and services to the markets we serve."

Management utilizes Operational EBITDA as the key performance measure of segment profitability and uses the measure in its financial and operational decision making processes; for internal reporting; and for planning and forecasting purposes to effectively allocate resources. Operational EBITDA is defined as EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization), as adjusted for additional amounts. Examples of these adjustments include impairment charges related to goodwill, other long-lived assets and investments; restructuring charges, certain gains or losses on the settlement/extinguishment of obligations; and receivable financing charges. During 2015, the Company modified its definition of Operational EBITDA to adjust for financing charges related to certain receivable financing programs. Comparable periods have been adjusted to conform to this definition.
Operational EBITDA presents a performance measure exclusive of capital structure and the method by which net assets were acquired, disposed of, or financed. Management believes this measure provides additional transparency into its core operations and is most reflective of the operational profitability or loss of the Company's operating segments and reporting units. The measure also allows management and investors to view operating trends, perform analytical comparisons and benchmark performance between periods and among operating segments.

Q: Как экранировать знаки / в переменной Есть строка в переменной, например "123/456/789". Нужно экранировать все знаки /, чтобы перед каждым слешем был обратный слеш

A: Например sed:
NEW_VAR=$(sed 's,/,\\/,g' <<< $OLD_VAR)

или просто на баше
NEW_VAR=${OLD_VAR//\//\\/}

A: Смотря для каких целей в дальнейшем требуется выполнение:
a="123/456/789"
b=${a////\\/}

a - имя переменной
// - разделитель
/  - заменяемый символ/набор (что)
/  - разделитель
\\/  - набор/символ замены (на что)

echo $b
123\/456\/789
Если переменная будет проходить несколько этапов обработки, то количество символов экранирования следует увеличить.
Пример:
su user -c "echo $b"
123/456/789
Следует поставить дополнительные экраны:
b=${a////\\\\/}

т.е. в данном случае мы ставим экран на каждый из экранов и теперь команда
su user -c "echo $b"
вернет: 123\/456\/789
но теперь если выполнить команду
su user -c "ssh user@hostname echo $b"
экраны снова выполнят свое предназначение, экранируя символы и исчезают
Для того, что бы экраны передались и в этой команде, мы снова экранируем каждый из них дополнительно:
b=${a////\\\\\\\\/}

И теперь выводом
su user -c "ssh user@hostname echo $b"
будет: 123\/456\/789

Long Island Center Sells Despite Debt

Jan 29, 2009
Selling a retail property–or any property, for that matter–with a big debt attached is no simple feat in the current real estate climate, but Sperry Van Ness has managed to do just that. Acting on behalf of Stillwater Capital and partners, the real estate services firm closed the sale of the 131,900-square-foot Voice Road Plaza in Carle Place, N.Y., to a 1031 multi-family investor for just over $36.2 million, including the assumption of a $23 million mortgage.
Occupying 8.3 acres on Long Island, Voice Road Plaza was developed in 1951 and renovated in 1996. In December 2006, Stillwater, along with two operating partners, snapped up the property from First Allied Corp. for nearly $35.4 million, with plans for a short-term hold.
Vacancy at the property–anchored by Staples, Big Lots, Party City, Dress Barn and Bass–reached its current level of 98.8 percent. Then the tide turned. The seller had put the community shopping center up for sale through another broker before turning to Sperry Van Ness, which originally marketed the asset with a price tag of $41 million, before lowering it to $39 million.
"We had higher offers but we didn't have the confidence that they had the ability and intention of closing at hat number," Joseph French, national director of retail for Sperry Van Ness, told CPN. "We had a large pool of potential buyers, but the property had a $23 million loan in place and they had to come up with an additional $13 million in cash, so the pool of buyers kept shrinking and shrinking."
After 10 months and 175 sale packages, Sperry Van Ness found a buyer represented by Double-Click Realty. Considering that Stillwater purchased Voice Road Plaza in the glory days of 2006, and sold during one of the lowest points in the real estate market in quite some time, the fact that the company walked away with a nearly $1 million profit is somewhat significant.
"It wasn't what they hoped to make but it's better than losing money–and believe me, there are people who are going to lose money," French said. "Everything went as planned for the seller, except the market tanking. But they're quite happy to get out with a profit."

Buffalo Bills new stadium: Pegulas in "fact-finding mode"
The Bills are still collecting information as they plan what to do with the future of their stadium.
By Matt Warren Jun 22, 2016, 7:00am EDT
Share All sharing options for: Buffalo Bills new stadium: Pegulas in "fact-finding mode"
The Buffalo Bills need to do something about their aging stadium. The team knows it, the owners said it when they bought the team, the NFL is pushing for it, and fans are bracing for it. That doesn't mean anyone is going to rush into things.
"We're in the fact-finding mode," owner Kim Pegula told the Democrat and Chronicle. "We want to make sure we have all the information that is relative to our community, to our fan base. We're not Atlanta, so it's hard for us to say we're going to build a stadium like Atlanta. We can't. It's not just a yes or no, it's a lot more involved than that. We don't talk about it now because we don't have all the answers and we don't want to get misconstrued because things change."
Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta is currently being built at an estimated price tag of $1.4 billion. Atlanta is using local and state money in addition to charging up to $45,000 for Personal Seat Licenses. The Atlanta area is the eighth-largest designated market area in the country, though.
"We are the 53rd DMA in the country (Green Bay is No. 70)," said Bruce Popko, the executive vice-president of business and development for PSE. "Our realities are different than a lot of other markets. There are realities and real ceilings that everyone has to understand."
There are financial limitations as well, as the Pegulas' employees are readily willing to admit. But they aren't talking about the team's owners, they are talking about fans who plunk their hard-earned money down for tickets and can't afford hefty Personal Seat Licenses.
"Just because we think the community should pay a quarter of a million dollars for a suite doesn't mean the community is going to pay a quarter of a million dollars for a suite," said Popko. "Having it in discussion is very different than the reality of a conversation when you're sitting across from someone negotiating these types of deals."
"When you look under the Christmas tree everyone wants brand-new toys, that's easily said," team president Russ Brandon said. "But when you go through the process and look to see exactly what makes sense for our community, that's what we have to be very thoughtful of. With a new stadium comes a lot of things — public-private partnership, there's PSLs (personal seat licenses), there's cost increases across the board. We've been successful in Buffalo with a volume model; lot of seats in the building, lot of suites in the building, and we've been able to keep costs down because we've been able to manage a 43-year-old building and we've been able to do that very well. That equation, economically, changes with a new building."
Brandon continued to echo Kim Pegula's thoughts on taking a long look at the situation before making a decision, dating back several years to even before the Pegulas were the owners of the team.
"When you look back at the (2013-14) renovation, we took a very holistic approach to that," said Brandon. "We looked at the new stadium model, the complete retrofit model, and the renovation model, and we came to the renovation number ($130 million) because we didn't feel it made sense at the time (to build a new stadium), with everything that was on the horizon. We're going to take the exact same approach with this and see what makes sense."
It seems that for now, pragmatism will win out over pie-in-the-sky ideas. In the long run, that's how you want hundreds of millions of dollars to be spent anyway.

Xia Yian was regareded as a talented Prime Minister by Wang Shizhen in terms of his calligraphy skills that attract the collector's attention. Sadly, his calligraphy artwork was not largely passed to next generation as he unfortunately stepped down following a failure of political wresting with Yan Song. West Villa Poems in Running Script, Jinmotang Calligraphy Research Foundation's collection, were written by 1534 ,a bit later than Wen Zhenming's another poem of West Villa. Compared to both poems, we can assume that West Villa played a vital role not only as an royal garden, but also a place for worship where emperor Jiajing indulge himself in Taoism.
The aim of this article is to analyse a famous handscroll Painting of Tang Ying, a current collection of Freer Gallery, should be attributed to another painter according to the long colophons. After a long debate between Prof. James Cahill and Mr. Jiang Zhaoshen in 1960s, it is a bit surprising, but interesting, to observe that this masterpiece is an example of how the name of author was cut off and the fake was created instead.
In Tang Dynsaty, correspondence was not as important as Northern sung after Su Shi and Huang Tingjian. Even Auyang Xiu thought, reading and collecting the correspndence, could help people remember and respect the predecessor. During Ming dynasty, the number of collection and circulation of correspndence is increasing. Correspondence in Jinmotang Calligraphy Research Foundation's collection mainly focus from Ming to Qing period. We are glad to introduce 6 copies of correspondence dated from Chenghua to Jiajing period from which we could imagine the social life and obligation among literati.
Cai qi was not only an officer in Qing period, but also quite a famous collector when we found that there had been a close bond between Wang Hui and him in art aspect. However, very few details about the patronage from Cai qi were recorded until this painting was acquired and studied. According to this research, Cai qi had collected not less than 12 Wang Hui artwork on which his collector seals could be found.
In this thesis, we would go over the letter and documents in order to find out the Artisit-Patron relationship between them.
Jinmotang Calligraphy Research Foundation (JMT) acquired a handscroll containing five correspondences of Mo Shilong. The second correspondence written to Wang Zhongyan, a notable officer and literati, related to the content of another undated correspondence in Qian Tangjing collection. The essay is to look up the history and identify the writing year. On the other hand, a correspondence to Zheng Zhixu (now in Taiwan Palace Museum's collection) and the first correspondence of JMT should have connection in terms of the writing year and the history of literary gathering.
An album of Li Ti's inscription left us a message that Li Ti had aquired a calligraphy artwork in silk of Huang Tingjian and ordered the craftsman to make an imitation in the year of Muxu  although it was believed not as good quality as the original one after he wrote a Jiu Ge poems on it. Having studied the collector seals, we found that it was acquired formerly by a collector,namely Jiao Youlin in Daoguang period as well as a Taiwan collector, Lin Xiongguang, during the period of Japanese Occupation. Through this case study, the research attempts to examine the life of Li Ti and discuss his calligraphy style and status in terms of history of calligraphy.
Baiyan Poems album, originally mount as a handscroll, was written in the year of the sixth year of Jiajing  including 8 poems literally refer to the theme of white goose. It was also mentioned that the album was to present to Tan Dongshi, a friend of Lu Shen. Through a case study of this album, this thesis is to analyse the political meaning in the poems. Also, the research attempts to examine how Lu Shen derived his calligraphy from learning Zhao Mengfu and Li Yong, and discuss his status in the history of Chinese calligraphy.
This calligraphy piece, Xiaomaiwang studio, in seal script was wriiten by Zhao Zhiqian requested by Panzhuyin who was one of the most important officer in late Qing period. The name originally came from a collector studio, Maiwangguan, in Ming dynasty. It is believed that the artwork was finished between the tenth and eleventh year of Tong Zhi [1871-1872].
Through this horizontal panel, the article attempts to examine the "artist-patron" relationship between Zhao Zhiqian and Pan Zhuyin.
A Xu Youzhen calligraphy artwork in Jinmotang's collection present a very strong skills and personal style in cursive script. The inscription leaves us a message that Xu went for visit with his two compatriots, Zhu Hao and Liu Jue. Although he didn't mention the year of this travel, it is expected he finished the artwork after his retirement to Suzhou from the court. The seal in the bottom left corner, namely Donghai Xuyuanyufu, is consistent in style with the examples in Biehou Tie (Palace Museum) and Taohuashuwutu (National Museum), but not with the one mentioned in Zhongguo Shuhuajia Yinjian Kuanzhi which was edited by Shanghai Museum. The aim of this article is to re-consider the authenticity of Xu Youzhen's seals.
A three-folio manuscript of Dunhuang provenance (ms. 羽619) located in the Kyōushoku collection (杏雨書屋) was described by the editor of the Dunhuang Miji (敦煌秘笈) as a different version of the Zengyi ahan jing (增一阿含經, T 125), and possibly belonging to a so far unattested or lost Ekottarika-āgama sūtra. The research project presented in this thesis aimed at verifying this hypothesis.
In the course of my preliminary survey, I was able to locate another manuscript (ms. 近墨堂1002.hs), which, in facsimile, appeared very similar to ms. 羽619. This research finds that ms. 羽619 and ms. 近墨堂1002.hs can be collated and are in fact a single manuscript. After the collation, it was possible to closely inspect the content of ms. 羽619+近墨堂1002.hs. This contains stories of six eminent disciples of the Buddha, among whom five are bhikṣuṇīs.
At first glance, the text may appear to belong to the chapter on bhikṣuṇīs in the Zengyi ahan jing (增一阿含經). On closer inspection and comparative textual study, however, I came to the provisional conclusion that the text may be closer in genre to a commentary such as the Fenbie gongde lun 分別功德論 (T 1507), an unfinished Chinese commentary on the Ekottarika-āgama. The text in question, though, cannot be identified as stemming from the Fenbie gongde lun (分別功德論) itself nor from a different version of the same work.
As regards the dating, Fang Guang-chang (方廣錩) (2013) assigns ms. 近墨堂1002.hs to the Eastern Jin period (東晉) (AD 317–420). Since the translation of the Zengyi ahan jing (增一阿含經) was completed in AD 385, a new commentary (i.e., 羽619+近墨堂1002) based on this very translation could only appear later. Provided that manuscript 羽619+近墨堂1002 appears to belong was a commentary on the received translation of the Zengyi ahan jing (增一阿含經), on the basis of close parallels in phraseology between 羽619+近墨堂1002.hs and the extant Zengyi ahan jing (增一阿含經), I would suggest a dating to the period AD 385 onwards.
Song Ke, a native of Changzhou, was a foremost calligrapher as well as an accomplished poet during late Yuan and early Ming period. Having a good reputation among the literati in Suzhou and Songjiang region, he then bonded well with lots of famous people. Also, His excellent calligraphy techniques had, no doubt, a profound influence on the later calligraphers in the first century of Ming dynasty. A Song Ke calligraphy album, with 11 leaves in Jinmotang's collection, was signed "Guangping Song Ke" himself which also appeared in the inscription of a Zhao Mengfu album recorded in Shiqu Baoji. Compared the text of 2 artworks, we are able to confirm Guangping is his hometown and analyse the historical background and reasons of writing this text. This datable album is of vital importance to understand the skills and styles of his calligraphy in accordance with other museum collections, except one dated to Hungwu period in Tianjin museum.
A Bodhisattva Banner of Dunhuang, datable to Tang or Five Dynasties, displayed in Beijing Guardian Auction in 2014, was acquired by Jinmotang Calligraphy Foundation. This banner was collected by Zhang Daqian earlier before and then passed to an old Japanese collector. The painter originally drew the lines on a rectangular red silk by yellow ochre pigments, leaving a blank rectangular space in top left corner without inscription of the Bodhisattva name. Comparing with the other similar banners in the museum collections, we try to analyse and understand the historical and art value of this artpiece.
Among Wang Duo's extant calligraphies, almost half were made to fulfill social obligations. Wang's attitude towards writing that is meant to satisfy social obligations was complex. On the one hand, he was willing to write calligraphy for financial gain and to expand and maintain his social network; on the other, he was sometimes annoyed at the pressure to deliver work. To preserve the quality of his output, he would postpone deliveries or refuse commissions.
On occasion, Wang Duo brushed calligraphy at social gatherings, where the presence of an audience created an atmosphere of keen anticipation and heightened his urge to perform. Wang possessed a keen sense of drama that made his energetic performances on these occasions memorable. Especially at gatherings like these, he made certain to include strong contrasts among the elements of his work to make a vivid visual impression on his expectant audience.
The phrase "artworks of social obligation" is often understood to refer to careless work executed in haste. These works are contrasted to those done for self-amusement or as personal gifts, circumstances customarily taken to be optimum for the production of good quality work. The body of Wang Duo's output, however, includes many brilliant pieces that were made to meet social obligations. This suggests that our presumption of a direct relationship between artworks of social obligation and the quality of such works should be reconsidered.
Zhu Yunming was recognised as the grestest calligrapher in Ming Dynasty, but it is not uncommon to see the fake works and copies of his soon after his death. The number of fakes even raised until the late Ming period. As a result, it is hardly to have a fair criticism and judgement on him. We know little about his typical style before we identify most, if not all, of his calligraphic works. In this article, Graphology would be applied to re-analyse his works.

College Signing Day!!
Date: Wednesday May 1, 2019
High school seniors officially sign their letter of intent with a collegiate program each year on the first Wednesday in February. National Signing Day is a moment that players will never forget because most have been working since age five or six in order to get there. Signing to play college soccer is an amazing accomplishment that requires talent, dedication and commitment. On an average year Coast FA will have between two to ten players reach their goal of playing at the next level. These players fulfilled their dream today and will forever add their name to the Coast FA collegiate and professional players that came before them seen below.
Jahmar & Jahmier Watson - Coast 99 Red – Socastee High School - Committed to University of South Carolina Sumter in Sumter, South Carolina. The Fire Ants compiled a 6-13-0 record last season and compete in the Carolinas Junior College Conference . " I have known these two since they were six or seven years old and they have played for Coast FA all of their life.. It is wonderful to see them get a chance to play in college and it is due to their dedication to the game. We can now watch from afar with pride as they progress in the collegiate soccer system " said Coast Director of Coaching Ross Morgan..(Click for Photo)
John Cetin – Coast 99 Red – Socastee High School – Committed to Wofford College in Spartanburg, South Carolina. The Terriers were 5-11-1 last season in the Sothern Conference." It has been a pleasure having John in the Coast FA system for many seasons and seeing his game get better each year. John had a lot of success in goal with a very strong 99 Red side. He benefitted greatly during the summers working against older players on our PDL team. John is totally prepared to be successful in D1 college soccer" said Coach Morgan..(Click for Photo)


I have chosen to include a Mexico flag on my shadow box because it represents me and where all my coulters come from. The four blue flowers that are in the top represents the parties we have. It also represents El Dia de Los Muertos (The Day of The Dead). Our culture may seem boring and not interesting to other people, but in reality they are fun and enjoyable. We put different bright colored flowers because we like to have happy colors and items to stand out. It makes it look embellishing. People place those in the streets to decorate 5 de Mayo(Celebrating independence day). We use that to decorate. Another thing that I put was Nochebuenas (Poinsettias). The Nochebuenas (Poinsettias) represent Christmas(the day Jesus was born) because it represents the day he arrived. I also put rice and beans because that represents the most topic food in Mexico. Wherever you go in Mexico, every plate will have rice and beans if not, they will offer you. I decided to put pesos (Mexican money) to show that we go to Mexico where my parents are from. People assume that we are boring, that we don't go out but in reality, we like to explore new places. We like to travel to Mexico by car because we see new things every time. People also assume we don't embark because they think we are immigrants from being Mexican. I took a decision to write my first and middle name Yureida Jamilett because it's part of my identities. Yureida is a two-in-one name which makes it very unique. My middle name Jamilett is also unique but not as much as Yureida. I thought that my last name Gastelum should go in between the three colored flags because it comes from Mexico. The candle is behind the Virgen because in my religion we use the candles to give thanks by something she did/made. Last but not least, the pictures represent how we all stick together and have fun. I put the rosary because it represents my couture as well! That's when I did my first communion. I am proud of doing it.

I am amazed by your shadow box  because it has many objects and I love the flowers you added. I love how you added the Mexican flag on the sides because that is a really cool idea. One part of your artwork that stands out for me is is where you added cups of rice and beans on the sides. I think this is unique because I did not think about putting that in a shadow box. I think that is is cool because it really does represent latinos since we eat that a lot. Another part of your artwork that stood out to me was that you put the christmas flowers. This stood out to me because in my house we also use those flowers to decorate in christmas time. Thanks for your artwork. I look forward to seeing what you make next, because you have amazing ideas for decorating projects. You did great good job.
I liked your piece because I felt a close connection to your culture. I also go to Mexico a lot and celebrate the same dates as you do. I think it is cool and this piece of art may bring us closer as advisees because we have so much in common! Keep up your good work!
Hey Yureida my name is Crystal and i really like how you did your shadow box.I see that you put some of your culture stuff and i like that because people should not forget where they're from their roots. From what i see you are mexican what part of mexico?.Had you ever been there do u like it? So basicly u made your shadowbox cultural because you want to show your culture.I really like that you made your shadowbox look so happy because it gives it more color positive things.I currently did the same project as u but in Fremont High School.
Hi, My name is Juana and I'm writing from Fremont High School. I really like how you put a lot of colorful flowers. I really liked everything in the shadowbox represents something of you. I really liked the interesting things that happened to you and how you have pride of being a mexican girl. you did an awesome job. What does your name mean? Who picked your second name? why?
Hi Yureida Gastelum I really liked your shadowbox and the way you explained all your work.It's really interesting to see the way you set up your shadowbox and the things you added like the Mexican money.You did a great job.I have some questions for you, How long did it take you to do this project? , Do you still follow the traditions from Mexico? , Why did you decide to explain your name? .I did something similar to your shadowbox but I did mines at Fremont High School.
I really like how you did your shadowbox because you included interesting things about your culture or country that is Mexico. But also of how you decorated it it looks really nice especially the Flowers and La Virgen De Guadalupe because that is the first things that caught my attention. And I agree with you that people might think differently about your culture because they don't know it that well but you putting out the ideas and the important dates that Mexico celebrates it makes other people understand your culture and how are the festivals are. And it was really interesting reading your story because it's about your heritage and country.
Do you celebrate the festivals are important days in Mexico here in America with you Family?
When you said that when you and your Family travel to Mexico you go by car because you like to see new things. So what are the things you like to see when you go there?
What do you think and feel about immigrants that are coming in the USA this past years?
I hope you write more stories about you because your stories are unique and interesting. Thank you for writing and sharing about your shadowbox with others.

Zack Snyder's Original 'Justice League' Trilogy Plans Revealed by Kevin Smith
It's no secret that when Zack Snyder set out to make Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, he was establishing an interconnected universe with long-range plans. Man of Steel was a test balloon of sorts, and based on the relative strength of that film, Warner Bros. felt emboldened to go full-throttle with their DC properties in direct competition with the burgeoning Marvel Cinematic Universe. Looking back, Batman v Superman sets up a lot, from time-traveling Flash to nightmarish flashforwards that tease a hellscape on Earth created by iconic DC villain Darkseid. And yet, none of these plans will ever come to pass.
Batman v Superman performed solidly at the box office but suffered negative reaction from both critics and some fans. By the time BvS hit theaters, Justice League was already filming, and so Warner Bros. was forced to try to "course-correct" this franchise while the train was already speeding onward. As we all know, Snyder was fired off of Justice League during post-production, Joss Whedon came in to write new scenes, direct reshoots, and oversee editing (albeit with Warner Bros. calling the final shots), and when Justice League hit theaters, it landed with a thud—it was outgrossed by Warner Bros.' horror movie It.

I'm of the opinion that WB should have just let Snyder finish Justice League his way, for better or worse. And while we'll never see what Snyder had planned, we now have an idea of where things would have gone had Snyder made Justice League 2 and Justice League 3.
On the latest episode of his podcast Fatman Beyond (via Syfy), Kevin Smith revealed that when he visited the set of Star Wars: Episode IX, he spoke to people "who worked on both versions of Justice League" and got the lowdown on where the trilogy would have gone. According to Smith, these people had access to previsualization materials and other aspects of the Justice League trilogy plans—albeit acknowledging that plans certainly change over time, and this may not have been where the trilogy exactly went.
Smith says he was told that in Snyder's version of Justice League, the fim's ending was similar to the one we see now but with one major difference: as Steppenwolf zooms up the Boom Tube back to his home planet, defeated, Darkseid appears at the other end and glimpses the Justice League:
"[The League] saw Darkseid, and Darkseid saw them," Smith said. "Boom tube closes, and that's the end of the fucking movie. With them all knowing there's something out there, and we have to go."
Smith also says that the shot in the Justice League trailer of Jeremy Irons' Alfred talking to an unknowon person offscreen was meant to be Green Lantern's arrival, not the re-emergence of Superman. This would have opened the doors for a sequel set off-Earth:
"Justice League 2 was going cosmic as they take the fight to Apokolips … and the Lantern Corps was involved."
The end of Justice League 2, however, would have been a defeat, with Smith referencing Empire Strikes Back and Infinity War, noting that Darkseid would have defeated the Justice League then gone back to Earth to desecrate the world, forming the hellscape we glimpsed in Batman's Knightmare in Batman v Superman. This would have led to the third and final film being a showdown with Darkseid:
"That was going to be the entire third movie," Smith said. "The heroes' last stand against Darkseid and the forces of Apokolips — holy fuck!"
Alas, none of this will come to pass. Warner Bros. has no current plans to revisit the Justice League franchise, and with news that The Batman will introduced a new, younger Bruce Wayne, it appears we're in line for a fractured timeline in which Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman and Jason Momoa's Aquaman still exist—owing to the success of their individual films—but Ben Affleck's Batman is gone. Ezra Miller's Flash status is still TBD as production on that standalone film has been delayed yet again owing to delays on Fantastic Beasts 3, which won't start filming until late fall/winter of this year.
So yeah, that's what Zack Snyder's Justice League trilogy would have looked like. It admittedly sounds pretty interesting, and I would have liked to have seen what a Zack Snyder cosmic movie looked like, but the doom and gloom nature of Batman v Superman suggests fans may have gotten too exhausted by his tone and aesthetic by the time we got around to Justice League 2.
For now, Darkseid is on ice and Warner Bros. is simply taking it one movie at a time. Meanwhile, Snyder has moved on and is next making a zombie movie for Netflix. Perhaps one day he himself will open up about what he had planned.

To gauge your potential as a true professional, an employer may ask you about your professional development plans in a job interview. If you're not interviewing for a job and are a new hire, expect the question to come up during your performance appraisal. Here's how to create a professional development plan.
If a pay raise or advancement at your current employer is a priority, a good place to start formulating an effective plan is to meet with your supervisor. Ask her or him what areas of knowledge or skills you should develop that will add the most value to your department.
If you have peers performing similar jobs in your department, examine the backgrounds of any outstanding performers. Identify the skills or knowledge base that contribute to the success of these employees and consider if you should also develop these strengths.
Review typical job titles for your occupation and lists of job titles appropriate for different positions in your field. Search major job sites like Indeed or Simply Hired for job titles similar to yours, or any jobs you would like to have.
Look for patterns in the qualifications that employers say they're looking for. Make a list of the most frequently referenced requirements, compare them to your strengths, and choose a few areas to target in your development plan.
It's also beneficial to review the agendas for workshops and seminars offered by your professional organization. Identify areas of knowledge and skills that are cutting edge in your field.
Include at least one technology-related objective in your plan. Tech-savvy employees are often the most sought after, whether the job is technology-based, or not.
Next, figure out how and when you can acquire the skills necessary for your future success. A good place to start is consulting with your professional association about local, national, and online seminars, as well as workshops and tutorials related to your interests.
You can also ask your Human Resources and IT departments about any in-house resources. And, you can look into any educational opportunities offered at local colleges and adult education programs.
Can you take online classes or seminars? How about a boot camp held on evenings or weekends?
Are there professional association meetings or development workshops specifically for my occupation that I can attend?
Are there general classes, especially for upgrading my tech skills?
Then, decide how much time you want to invest in your professional development because you need to balance your career needs with your lifestyle needs. Taking on too much at once is a good way to burn out fast. You need to figure out what activities will fit into your available time.
It's also smart to include a list of goals with tentative deadlines for each career activity. Be sure to update your LinkedIn profile and your resume each time you upgrade your skills. It's important to advertise your qualifications, especially when they are in-demand skills that employers are seeking.
As with most plans, execution is critical to success. Make sure you follow through and engage in as many professional development activities as possible. You'll not only enhance your career; you'll have a compelling story to tell during interviews and performance reviews.
Remember, having even a tentative career path in place will help you respond to interview questions about your goals for the future, and assist you in determining the next phase of your career.

Color Printing -- Specimens
Color Prints -- 19Th Century
Printing -- History
American inventor William Weeden's manuscript account of his experiments in color-printing seeking a simpler alternative to the complex and laborious process of chromolithography, with thirteen small-scale specimens of color printing from blocks of solid, water-soluble ink, compounded of gum and powdered watercolor. Weeden's experiments constitute a largely unknown effort to revolutionize color printing by devising a means of printing multiple colors simultaneously. As an inventor and patent holder, Weeden was aware of the importance of documenting the history of his inventions to address any legal challenges that might arise, and he composed the present, thorough account expressly for that purpose. William N. Weeden (1841-1891) was born in New Bedford, Massachusetts, where he was apprenticed to watchmaker, jeweler, and engraver James Tucker Almy. He removed to Boston circa 1860 and opened a watch repairing shop, and also made stencils and dies. Weeden evolved into an inventor of diverse ability, working both independently and for such firms as Merriam & Co. (seal engraving and die sinking) and the Novelty Maufacturing Co., both of Boston, as well as Benedict & Burnham (manufacturers of lamp burners) and the Waterbury Watch Company, of Waterbury, Connecticut, and his own Novelty Metal Works and Weeden Manufacturing Company of New Bedford. He held over forty patents for various lighting innovations, magic lanterns, luminous match safes, a music box, mechanical banks, and numerous steam-powered toys. An artist as well, he made several trips to Europe, where he studied both art and the most current printing processes.
Weeden's account is divided into three sections: a preliminary history of his engagement with the problem of color printing and his efforts to develop a new process; a description of the process he developed; and a record of his experiments "to determine the right proportions and materials to be used in making the solid colors to be used in my Multi-colour Printing Process." He relates that his interest in color printing improvements dates from "some time between 1868 & 1872" when he was called upon to view the apparently innovative "Rice colour printing press," which he found "to be merely a new press for inking by rolls a line of type with a separate colour. The process being merely mechanical and not having in it the elements of a new idea really...." He adds that while examining this press his "mind became first filled with the thoughts of a future Process for colour Printing to take the place of Chromo Lithography."
Weeden had gained considerable experience of printing technologies while in Boston where he worked as a copper and steel plate engraver, and prepared blocks and plates "for Colour Printing on Soap Labels, Show Cards &c &c." Once his mind was stimulated by the possibility of an innovation in color printing he readily embarked upon the search for a new method, and he made numerous experiments to that end over the course of more than a decade. He describes his ideas and efforts in detail, especially those most immediately leading to the method he developed: "At last it came to my mind that if the block for printing was itself made of ink I could get an impression. This was the dawning of a grand idea! I soon saw that if my block could be made of solid ink, it might be of many colours...I saw before my mental vision a solid block of ink or colour--the greens of green ink, the blues of blue ink &c &c Each colour extending down through the entire block so that the printing block was but a Mosaic of many tinted pieces of solid ink. Together with the Solid Ink idea came the accompanying thought of how easy the solid ink, just on the surface could be made liquid at the instant of printing. I soon decided that a mixture of colour with gum easily soluble in Water would be just what my idea required...I immediately went to my factory and taking a small box of cake Water colours , I secured 10 of them together in a wood clamp and then with a file I smoothed off the ends of the group of colours until I had a level surface. I thus had a printing block which answered the requirements of my mind. I then dampened a piece of paper and applied it to the end of my colour block, the moisture of the paper at once softened the gum holding the colour and an imprint of 10 colours at one impression demonstrated my reasoning to have been correct and this first impression, which I have carefully preserved, was the very first practical demonstration of my new process..."
Weeden's first impression, dated June 1886, and impressions he made in London in July of 1886, remain preserved in an annotated envelope tipped into the journal. While crude, they clearly demonstrate the general viability of his method, at least on a small scale. However, in spite of Weeden's confidence--repeatedly expressed in his account--that he had discovered an innovative and important new method of color printing, it of course failed to come into general use and displace chromolithography.
The collection contains a hand-written manuscript by William N. Weeden detailing his printing techniques ("Multicolour Printing. A New Discovery…1886") and 13 specimens of color printing on small scraps of paper, most with annotations. The collection also contains accounts of ink recipes and an experiment log.


Many evolutionary systems, as for example gradient flows or Hamiltonian systems, can be formulated in terms of variational principles or can be approximated using time-incremental minimization. Hence they can be studied using the mathematical techniques of the field of calculus of variations. This viewpoint has led to many discoveries and rapid expansion of the field over the last two decades. Relevant applications arise in mechanics of fluids and solids, in reaction-diffusion systems, in biology, in many-particle models, as well as in emerging uses in data science.
This workshop brought together a broad spectrum of researchers from calculus of variations, partial differential equations, metric geometry, and stochastics, as well as applied and computational scientists to discuss and exchange ideas. It focused on variational tools such as minimizing movement schemes, Gamma convergence, optimal transport, gradient flows, and large-deviation principles for time-continuous Markov processes.


It's been a tough parenting week. Little people around my house are growing up so fast, and their friends parents are stepping up the pace by allowing their kids to do things my kids are not allowed to do. (boo-hiss). This makes for awkward and uncomfortable conversations between me and my girls I really wish we didn't have to have yet.
I found this sweet letter one of my girls wrote me awhile back. I think I will leave it up here and hope the sweet little munchkin still means it.
Those are the things that get us through the tough moments. My daughter just planned a surprise bithday party for me (it was last night). What she asked of everyone was to write me a letter. A letter about our relationship and what it means to them. They were all amazing but especially the ones from my husband and my children (who are so grown now). We have had our battles and through it all, after reading their letters, they get it. I believe they know it was all because I love them. Letters like yours and mine, are to be cherished. God knows there will be a time when I will need to pull their letters out again to remind me it will all be ok.
Aren't you so glad you kept that? Love it!
Love it!! Our kids are very sheltered because I think it is more important for them to be kids than mini-adults (who do not have the brain maturity to be adults). It's those little times of appreciation and love that makes it all worth it, isn't it? Priceless.
Been there, done that. Now that my girls are older they would tell you they survived, and are probably better off because of it. Hang in there.

TIA reaches agreement with ride-sharing companies
TAMPA (FOX 13) - Thursday morning the Hillsborough County Aviation Authority approved contracts with Uber, Lyft and a third company, Wingz, for their drivers to pick up passengers at Tampa International Airport - officially.
They had been doing so without any agreements for a couple years. Spokesperson Janet Zink said that's now in the past.
"They can pick you up at the curbside and they can drop you off at the curbside you're only charged for pickups," Zink said. "Previously if we found a ride share company operating here a driver would be warned after three warnings they'd be trespassed."
In June, the board approved trip fees for commercial ground transportation. For taxis, that goes into effect early next year.
For Uber and Lyft, the $3 fee kicks in immediately. Next year, it'll be $4 and the year after that it tops out at $5.
Travelers like Joel Gonzalez are on board.
"It might make it a little busier for Ubers to come in and out but I think it's a great idea," Gonzalez said.
Tiffany Williams is a driver for both Uber and Lyft.
"Yes, I am very excited, more money," Williams said.
But taxi drivers like Sha Jahan don't share that same enthusiasm
"We're already losing money to Uber and Lyft," he said. "It is not good for our business for Yellow Cab or United Cab for nobody," he added.
The airport says this isn't about pitting one service against another but rather providing options for busy travelers.
Lyft's Senior Manager of Airports and Venues, Kirk Safford issued a statement saying, "We worked collaboratively with the team at Tampa International Airport to arrive at an agreement that brings Lyft's safe, reliable, and affordable service to travelers at TPA. While we are happy to be offering our services to Tampa passengers, we are concerned about the annual fee increases and are hopeful that we can revisit this part of the agreement after six months of operation to ensure that Lyft rides to and from the airport remain affordable for travelers. Airport fees are collected from the passenger as part of the fare, which allows for the best passenger and driver experience at the airport. It does not impact driver earnings."

MORNINGSIDE HEIGHTS, NY—Despite all of the fanfare surrounding Columbia University's promulgation two years ago of a so-called "Sexual Misconduct Policy"—a policy touted as a "national model"—Columbia, under intense and broad public criticism, has silently altered the text of its scandalous assault on student rights and decencies. Visitors to the web page of Columbia's nearly two-year-old policy now will find a section that became "effective September 28, 2001." Most of the changes are efforts to move hesitatingly toward meeting FIRE's objections, without a single admission of prior and ongoing injustices. "The flawed policy was nothing less than a systematic withdrawal of fundamental fairness and due process from male students. These secretive half steps toward a modicum of justice are not worthy of a great university," said Alan Charles Kors, president of FIRE.
Nonetheless, the changes indicate that Columbia is beginning to understand the infamy of the policy it had so tenaciously defended. For example, Columbia has responded to one of FIRE's most essential criticisms. In the original policy, there was no recording or transcript made of the proceedings, preventing any serious internal appeal or recourse to the real legal system. Instead, the very authors of a judicial decision would "summarize" the case for the official charged with hearing appeals. Now, Columbia University will keep a recording or full transcript of the hearing, thus offering at least a minimal means of legal and moral remedy for the victims of this kangaroo court. A student can now sue the school and have evidence that demonstrates the Star Chamber behavior of this elite university.
Indeed, the changes all seem to be an effort to respond somehow to FIRE's initially private appeal to Columbia University's administration and trustees, an appeal that Columbia had rejected out-of-hand. FIRE's appeal, had it been followed in good faith, would have spared the Columbia community ignominious public shame. As Justice Brandeis rightly observed, however, "Sunlight is the best disinfectant," and FIRE's public campaign against the nightmare of Columbia's sexual misconduct tribunal has produced some important concessions. Now that it actually specifies the procedures under which a student will be tried, the policy has almost tripled in length. The revised policy at last declares that a student is to be presumed innocent until proven guilty by "clear and convincing evidence." The original policy offered no such presumption and specified no burden of proof. In addition, the policy now permits those involved to view witness testimony on closed-circuit television, and grants that accused individuals must be informed of their rights.
Columbia still denies accused students the right to face their accusers, allowing them to be present for their accusers' testimony only if the accusers consent.
Columbia still denies students the right to cross-examine witnesses, requiring that all questions for witnesses be submitted to the hearing panel for approval.
Columbia still denies students the right to effective legal representation.
Columbia still denies students the right to an effective appeal. Columbia still insists on applying a gag order on students, meaning that an accused student could not discuss the case outside a pre-approved circle of people.
Columbia still requires the hearing to be held by "specially trained" individuals who are "educated" on sexual misconduct by the Sexual Misconduct Office.
Although Columbia now keeps a transcript, it is kept for the benefit of "the panel and for purposes of any appeal"—meaning that the student and the public still may not have any access to this secret record of a judicial proceeding.
FIRE has previously noted that, despite Columbia's claim that the policy is an unfinished piece of work, one student already has been punished under this amorphous and fluid policy. As reaffirmed by these recent actions, students at Columbia face punishment under a policy that could change at a moment's notice, and without any warning.
FIRE is a nonprofit educational foundation that unites civil rights and civil liberties leaders, scholars, journalists, and public intellectuals across the political and ideological spectrum on behalf of individual rights, due process rights, freedom of expression, and rights of conscience on our campuses. FIRE's efforts to preserve liberty at Columbia and elsewhere can be seen by visiting www.thefire.org.


So what is it about the Millennials that made them such effective advocates for Barack Obama?
His brilliant use of the Internet and his get-out-the-vote efforts will be studied as a textbook example not so much of a multichannel marketing campaign as an every channel campaign.

Founded in 1990, SHS International Inc. began as primarily an audio company which supplied and serviced sound reinforcement products to wholesale retailers throughout the midwest and southern regions of the United States.
After establishing a repuation for honest and reliable gear in the audio world, SHS steadily evolved into a variety of areas which now includes almost every aspect of musical instrument and accessory item known. Not content to simply follow the masses, SHS International began to create it's own proprietary product brands which, after seeing the need for quality bluegrass instruments in the marketplace, established the Morgan Monroe line of acoustic instruments that has since become a highly profitable and well respected name in the industry.
Soon after, more proprietary brands were created such as: Indiana Guitar Company, ModTone Guitar Effects, Eddy Finn Ukuleles, Tune Tech Tuners, Sundown Amplification, Stone Case Company, Echosonic Strings, Royal Percussion, Stage Mate Accessories and the ongoing SHS Audio line of products that gave musical instrument retailers even more quality, unique choices, and selection for their customer's needs.
What started with humble beginnings has now branched into several global partnerships in the retail music industry that provides wholesale dealers and distributors, in nearly 25 international markets, with access to the entire world of SHS International products. From physical retail stores, to the vast world of online sales and service, SHS International continues to be an industry leader in all areas of the retail music industry.

POINTLESS


No other room better embodies the word 'haven' quite like the bedroom. From cosy Sunday mornings spent with tea in hand, to those lazy afternoons with a good book, the bedroom is a place of calm. A place to forget the rest of the world and relax.
If you're not one for filling an entire room, a feature wall is a great way to give a sense of design, while allowing you to give minimal touches to the rest of the space.
In this Resi designed room, this wooden feature wall gives a focal point to the room. It's soft grey tones perfectly suite the white, gold, and dusty pink palette. With these soft colours against the other white walls, this modest sized room is made to feel bright and airy, giving a sense of open space.
However, if you'd like to opt for something darker, why not look into art murals?
If you've got a lot of space to play with, and want to separate your practical elements from your snuggly, then a partition might be the answer. Rather than completely break up your room with a seperate walk-in closet, you can create something similar through some clever partitioning walls.
As architects, we're all about clever functional design. Some of our favourite partitions are those that are able to provide great practical results, while still tying in with the aesthetic of the room. Look into open shelves to keep light flowing through the room.
If you're converting a loft into a bedroom space, don't let those wonderful trusses go to waste!
Exposed wooden beams are a wonderful, unique touch to add to any bedroom. The wood helps bring warm tones into the space, adding to that much desired cosy feeling. To get the best results, talk to your architect early on in your loft conversion. Even if you don't have the right beams to expose, they'll be able to offer advice on adding in this desirable feature.
Light, light, and more light. That's the secret of a happy home.
Increasing the natural light in your home is scientifically proven to boost your mood, as those sunny beams help stimulate the serotonin in your brain - aka the happiness hormone! What's more, installing floor to ceiling windows is the perfect way of utilising any stunning skylights, or rural beauty spots, that might surround your home.
Of course, there are many factors to consider when looking into glazing. For starters, it's worth investing in thermal controlled glass. This will stop your bedroom from becoming an igloo in winter, and keep your heating bills down. However, good glass costs money, so you'll have to be prepared for a big investment at the start. To work out how eco-friendly your new windows are, check out their U-values. The lower the U-value, the more heat they'll keep in.
Think bunk beds are just for kids? Think again. More and more people are now seeing the benefits of utilising their high ceilings, with some amazing multi-level bedroom designs.
By moving your bed higher, you open up space for any number of desirable features, such as: an office, reading nook, or simply somewhere to kick back with some Netflix. Now granted, you'll need some tall ceilings to make this work. You don't want to be waking up to a bump on the head everyday. But for those living in tall Victorian townhouses, this is a great option for turning one room, into two.
For a sturdy structure, talk to an architect about your options. Wooden bed frames were fine when you were five years old, but grown-ups need a little more… support from their high rise beds.

Q: non-static method openInputFile(String) cannot be referenced from a static contex java Here is my code in question:
public File openInputFile(Scanner kb)
{
  if(kb == null)
  {
     throw new RuntimeException("ERROR! Scanner Not Detected.");
  }
  System.out.print("Enter Name of File: ");
  String fn = kb.nextLine();
  File inf = FileUtil.openInputFile(fn);
  return inf;
}

I am getting the following error:
FileUtil.java:33: error: non-static method openInputFile(String) cannot be referenced from a static context
      File inf = FileUtil.openInputFile(fn);
                         ^

Nothing is static, so I'm not sure why I'm getting this error. Can anyone help?

A: File inf = FileUtil.openInputFile(fn);
tells the compiler that openInputFile(fn) is static method of class FileUtil because you are trying to make a call to the method from the class name itself. This is why compiler said
FileUtil.java:33: error: non-static method openInputFile(String) cannot be referenced from a static context
So, all you need to do it is, make an object of file util and call the method from that object.

A: FileUtil class has a method openInputFile() that seems to be non static, hence you have to call it by creating instance of FileUtil
FileUtil fileut= new FileUtil();
fileut.openInputFile();
