I am just back from Canada and here comes my ultimative Toronto travel guide for design lovers. Yes, I was in Toronto as a guest of the Tourism Board of Ontario and my mission was to discover cool design spots, green corners, and great places to enjoy food and coffee across the Canadian metropolis. That task was both easy and difficult. Easy because Toronto boosts with cool design spots. Difficult because of the same reason. Hence, there will be more posts coming up. But here is my first personal selection of cool spots across Toronto. I hope you'll enjoy!
Toronto has a huge array of great hotels to stay. However, I will suggest only three places here. First the Thompson Hotel where I was staying. If you like understated cosmopolitan design, urban vibes, and probably the most fabulous rooftop pool and bar – the Thompson Hotel is your choice! This luxurious hotel is located in downtown Toronto and is a real hotspot in the city. During my stay there were many glamorous parties, red carpet events, weddings. But my highlight remains the fantastic rooftop with a heated pool and an amazing view of Toronto's iconic CN Tower. Extra tip: Order some breakfast in bed – you know, you gotta spoil yourself from time to time!
If you prefer a younger metropolitan vibe, I suggest the cool Drake Hotel in Toronto's buzzing West Queen West district. The hotel resides in a building from 1890 and is one of the city's finest boutique hotels. It exhibits art from young artist, features cool and compact rooms, a vibrant bar, basement club, and rooftop restaurant. Plus loads of cool design shops and restaurants down Queen Street West! Not bad, huh?
Two blocks further you'll find the Gladstone Hotel, entitled Art Boutique Hotel. Their motto 'Get in Bed with Art' is not only an ad. You can take it literally! Every room is different and features art from various artists. It is like a big Kinder Surprise Egg for design lovers. The building itself has lots of history as it dates back to 1889. This hotel is also in close proximity to cool shops and bars.
In Toronto you can enjoy international cuisine, eat from budget friendly to expensive, drink excellent coffee, and indulge in yummy pastries. Obviously, you will not starve in Toronto! Impossible to mention everything, but here are some highlights.
Union: This restaurant is inspired by a Paris bistro and is on Ossington Avenue, just off Queen Street West. This area offers a bounty of shops, bars, restaurants. But I stopped at Union for lunch and loved it! The food was excellent, the atmosphere very relaxed with a delicate Parisian vibe. Good place for a lunch break after shopping in West Queen West area!
Bang Bang: Just opposite of Union you can go and indulge in a great dessert there. It is a crazy popular artisanal ice-cream parlor and bakery. They make some insanely yummy ice-cream sandwiches, cookies, and cinnamon buns. Watch out: on weekends there might a big queue!
Bellwoods Brewery: In the same neighborhood as the previous two, the Bellwoods Brewery is a fab place not only to enjoy their artisanal beer but also to have dinner. Probably one of Toronto's best microbreweries offers very good beer (I tasted one with blackberries, yum!) and a great terrace for alfresco lunch or dinner. P.S. Their packaging design is ace, too!
Buna Coffee / Nunu Restaurant: On Queen Street West you can immerse yourself in a different kind of coffee culture. At Buna coffee you can experience an original Ethiopian coffee ceremony with exquisite beans from this east African country. Next doors is their Nunu restaurant with great Ethiopian cuisine.
Colette Grand Café: In downtown Toronto, just next doors to the Thompson Hotel, you can opt for great breakfast at the Colette Grand Café. It feels like Paris in there and the pastries are as French as the interior.
360 Restaurant: Impossible to leave it out – the 360 Restaurant on top of the iconic CN Tower is a fantastic option for great Canadian cuisine and a 360 degrees view of Toronto. The restaurant itself is on a turning platform and makes a full circle in 72 minutes. Reservations are a must!
Strange Love Coffee: Also downtown is the cool Strange Love Coffee. This small café features lovely plants and a good cup of coffee!
Portland Variety: Yet another great place for coffee and dinner, just at the corner of King Street West and Portland Street.
Quantum Coffee: More good coffee? Stop over at Quantum Coffee on King Street West.
Soma Chocolatemaker: For the sweet tooth among us, there is another must-stop. From what I have heard this is one of Toronto's best chocolate makers in town and you will not only find yummy treats for yourself but great chocolate to bring home as a gift too. They have a shop on King Street West and another one in the Distillery District.
Dineen Coffee Company: This is fab option if you find yourself in Toronto's main thoroughfare Yonge Street. Great coffee and a great space as well as outside seating area.
Arvo Coffee: This is a fabulous coffee place at the Distillery District. Go there and enjoy a great cup of quality coffee made with passion and know-how. Their coffees are served in beautiful ceramic cups that can be purchased in their shop too.
Run & Gun Coffee: This is a rather recent coffee shop on Dundas Street West. Great atmosphere, lovely plants, good coffee and sandwiches. Also, many good vintage shops around the corner.
Planta: Further up north, in Yorkville, you can find Planta, a vegan restaurant for the herbivores among you. Plant-based food is served in a great space. Very popular and busy, you better make reservations.
Oretta: A beautiful Italian restaurant in downtown Toronto. Great interior design, great pizza and pasta!
Yes, you can also shop till you drop in Toronto! If you want to avoid dropping though, here are a few suggestions for the design and vintage lovers. In general two great areas to shop for design and vintage items are the West Queen West area and the Distillery District.
Distill: This is a beautiful shop featuring finest Canadian design – from fashion to ceramics, art, accessories. It is located in the Distillery District and is a gem if you look for original Canadian design.
Blackbird Vintage Finds: Also in the Distillery District is this cute shop with a mix of new and vintage items. Walk around the Distillery District for more design and vintage shops!
Made Design: Just around the corner of the Distillery District is the shop of Made Design. Here you will find Canadian design by independent designers. Great to get a notion of Canadian design!
Drake General Store: They have various addresses across town, the biggest shop is close to the Drake Hotel on Queen Street West. Here again a great mix of Canadian design awaits the customer! My favorite: The soft Hudson's Bay blanket! P.S. I regret not buying it!!!
Stylegarage: This store features great contemporary furniture design and home accessories made in Canada.
VdeV: A beautiful shop with home accessories and a distinct focus on a boho and eclectic style.
Kensington Market: Great area to stroll around and take in the vibes. Don't miss a stop at Organic Press for great healthy juices and some plant shopping!
Cambie Design: A wonderful boutique by a Peruvian-Canadian lady featuring Peruvian textiles, Moroccan rugs, and accessories by Canadian designers.
Dynasty: Great plant shop in Toronto! For the plant lovers among us.
Crown Flora Studio: For flower and plant lovers alike. They have two shops on Queen Street West. Amazing flower arrangement and great scented candles!
The Wanderly: For the bohemian souls – a great mix of fashion, homeware, and jewelry.
Umbra: Modern home decor by Umbra and Umbra Shift is sold worldwide but this design company was founded in Toronto in 1979. Check out their flagship store in downtown Toronto!
Mjölk: This shop is for the puristic design aesthetes and is packed with refined design from Scandinavia, Japan, and Canada.
Stamen & Pistil Botanicals: More plant shopping for the Urban Jungle Bloggers among you! Great plant shop with quirky arrangements and plant pots. That's where I got a fun head planter.
There is so much to see and visit in Toronto so I will only focus on four highlights in addition to the aforementioned plethora of places and addresses.
Art Gallery of Ontario: A great museum featuring Canadian art as well as international art. Currently there is a great exhibit about the work of American modernist painter Georgia O'Keeffe.
Cruise to Toronto Islands: A great way to enjoy Toronto and its skyline is a boat trip to the close Toronto Islands. Excursion boats are departing from Toronto's harbor.
Allan Gardens Conservatory: If you are a plant person like moi, this is the place to go. In downtown Toronto, with beautiful greenhouses, and lush plants all around. One of my highlights! Look out for a more detailed tour on Urban Jungle Bloggers soon!
Distillery District: As mentioned above, this historic area is great to stroll around and shop, eat, and drink. It is a restored old distillery with many Victorian industrial buildings and part of Toronto's history.
That's more than enough for today. I hope this gives you a slight idea of how cool and vibrant Toronto is for design savvy travelers. It was my second time there and I would not mind going another time again. As mentioned above I will share more Canadian highlights over the course of the coming days and weeks. So stay tuned!
This blog post has been brought to you in collaboration with Ontario Travel. As always all opinions and photos are my own. Thank you for supporting the brands and regions who support this blog!
Thank you Anya!! Yes, Toronto is really worth a visit as it boasts with cool shops, cafés, and green spaces. All of the things I love – and I guess most of the blog readers love too. I always find blogger travel guides much more helpful – even for my own trips – compared to the regular travel guides. I will share a bit more of my Canadian adventure soon on the blog. So stay tuned!
Thanks for sharing this post! I'm heading to Toronto in two weeks and needed some inspiration and recommendations! Love your blog!
Thank you Tesia! Hope you gonna enjoy Toronto as much as I did!!

Een tweeter is een luidspreker die vooral is ontworpen om hoge tonen weer te geven, en vormt daarmee onderdeel van een luidspreker van bijvoorbeeld een hifi-installatie. De meest moderne (2003) luidsprekerkasten voor hifi-systemen bevatten twee of drie luidsprekers, waarvan de kleinste een tweeter wordt genoemd. Een tweeter heeft over het algemeen een frequentiebereik van 2000 tot 20.000 hertz. Sommige tweeters gaan nog hoger, al is dit boven de gehoorgrens van het menselijk gehoor.

Een tweeter heeft een laag bewegend gewicht
Meestal wordt als tweeter een elektrodynamische luidspreker gebruikt, omdat het gewicht van het bewegende deel (de spoel) bij een elektrodynamische luidspreker lager is dan het gewicht van de bewegende magneet bij een magnetodynamische luidspreker. Een laag gewicht is van belang omdat bij de hoge frequenties de snelheden van de trillende conus ook vrij hoog zijn. Een lichtere luidspreker is met minder elektrisch vermogen in beweging te zetten dan een zwaardere luidspreker.

Een tweeter heeft een kleine omvang
Een tweeter heeft een kleine diameter ten opzichte van een gewone of een basluidspreker (woofer), namelijk rond de 3 cm. De reden hiervan is dat een kleine luidspreker hogere resonantiefrequenties heeft, waardoor deze juist in het hoogfrequente gebied, correct geluid kan afstralen.

Elke luidsprekerconus vertoont resonanties vanaf één bepaalde grondfrequentie. Onder de laagste resonantiefrequentie zal de conus van de luidspreker als één geheel, als een piston, heen en weer bewegen. Daarnaast vormt de massa van de luidsprekerconus met de veerkrachtige montage in de tweeter ook een trilsysteem met een resonantiefrequentie: de luidsprekerresonantie. Het is tussen deze resonantie en de membraanresonanties dat het geluidssignaal met een gewenste uitstralingsvorm afgestraald wordt naar de omringende lucht. Wanneer de conus in resonantie komt, treden er andere bewegingen op (andere patronen van trillingen), waardoor de luidspreker een onvoorspelbaar gedrag krijgt, bepaalde frequenties worden te veel of te weinig geaccentueerd. Onder de luidsprekerresonantie wordt de amplitude steeds zachter zodat andere luidsprekers nodig zijn om dit frequentiegebied correct hoorbaar te maken.

Verschillende soorten
De elektrodynamische tweeter, heeft een magneet die een conus aandrijft met behulp van een spreekspoel. De meest gebruikte conus vormen zijn de bolvormige conus (dome) of de kegelvormige konus, de traditionele luidspreker vorm. Dit is de meest toegepaste tweeter constructie omdat hij vrij eenvoudig is te produceren en een relatief hoog rendement heeft. Daarnaast beschikt de elektrodynamische tweeter over goede klankeigenschappen in de vorm van een groot frequentiebereik en een goed afstraalgedrag. Veel gebruikte conusmaterialen zijn: geweven geïmpregneerd textiel (softdome), kunststof, aluminium, titanium en magnesium.
Daarnaast worden er soms zeer exotische conus materialen toegepast zoals beryllium (giftig) en diamant. In wezen gaat het om een vrij eenvoudige constructie waarbij een spreekspoel in een magneetveld een conus aandrijft.

De elektrostatische tweeter, die vrij weinig voorkomt, maakt gebruik van een hoogspanningsbron die een relatief groot membraan in beweging brengt, meestal in de vorm van opgespannen draden waar tussen een gemetalliseerde folie beweegt. Het kunststof membraan is erg licht en heeft dan ook een zeer goed oplossend vermogen. Het geluid van een elektrostaat is zeer doortekend door het hoge oplossend vermogen. Nadelen zijn o.a. de verticale spreidingshoek omdat het membraan vaak langwerpig is en het lage rendement. Elektrostatische luidsprekers zijn gevoelig voor een hoge luchtvochtigheid in verband met de toepassing van hoogspanning waardoor overslag kan plaatsvinden.

De magnetodynamische tweeter, die evenals de elektrostatische tweeter een vlak kunststof membraan gebruikt, maar dan met geëtste vlakke sporen aluminium als "spreekspoel". Dit membraan wordt door sterke staafmagneten aangedreven. Deze tweeter beschikt ook over een zeer licht membraan en heeft vergelijkbare klankeigenschappen als de elektrostatische tweeter maar met een beter rendement.

De ionentweeter, die slechts zelden wordt toegepast door zijn beperkte rendement en de productie van ozon gas. Deze tweeter maakt gebruik van een hoogspanning die gas ioniseert en de lucht in trilling brengt. Het grote voordeel is dat er geen mechanische delen worden aangedreven en de geluidsgolf direct gevormd wordt zonder tussenkomst van een membraan. De praktische toepasbaarheid is echter beperkt in verband met het lage rendement, kosten en ozon productie.

De piezotweeter maakt gebruik van een kristal dat onder invloed van een wisselspanning een membraan aandrijft. Hij is relatief goedkoop te maken maar biedt een nogal scherp geluid en wordt zelden in hifi-toepassingen gebruikt.

Naast deze hoofdgroepen bestaan er allerlei varianten b.v. in de vorm van gevouwen membranen die als een harmonica op en neer worden bewogen door magneten zoals de AMT-tweeter van Dr Oscar Heil. Dit is in wezen ook een elektrodynamische luidspreker waarbij een spoel een membraan aandrijft.

Richtingskarakteristiek
Men kan zich nu afvragen waarom andere luidsprekers wel groot moeten worden uitgevoerd, als een kleine omvang zoveel voordelen biedt. De reden hiervan is de richtingskarakteristiek van een afstralend oppervlak. In het ideale geval dient een luidspreker een bolvormige afstraling te hebben. In dat geval is het geluid naar alle richtingen even sterk.

De gewenste bolvormige afstraling is echter slechts mogelijk tot een bepaalde frequentie, die afhangt van de grootte van de luidspreker. Geluidstonen met een hogere frequentie worden gebundeld afgestraald wanneer de golflengte van de afgestraalde toon gelijk is aan of kleiner dan de diameter van de luidspreker. Het meeste geluid wordt dan afgestraald loodrecht op de luidspreker. Onder een grotere hoek is dan weinig geluid hoorbaar.

Een andere reden is dat een kleine piston niet in staat is voldoende geluidsvermogen af te stralen bij de lagere frequenties. Hoe groter de luidsprekerconus, des te minder sterk hoeven de trillingen te zijn om de lagere tonen te produceren.

Resonantie van de conus ophanging
De ophanging van de conus ten opzichte van de luidsprekerkast is bij elke luidspreker relatief slap (anders kan de conus niet bewegen). Deze ophanging vertoont ook resonantiefrequenties. Bij een tweeter ligt deze resonantie meestal rond de 1000 hertz. Voor een vervormingsvrije weergave van hoge tonen kan een luidspreker doorgaans minimaal één octaaf boven de eigen resonantie de tweeter ingezet worden, dat wil zeggen vanaf 2000 Hz.

Oracle reported second-quarter 2005 earnings that beat analyst expectations on Monday, thanks to new software revenue and continued gains from licence updates and product support.
The rosy results came in right before the company announced that it finally wrapped up its takeover bid for PeopleSoft, agreeing to pay US$10.3 billion (NZ$14.5 billion) for the company.
Revenue for the quarter ended November 30 came in at US$2.76 billion, an increase of 10% over the US$2.5 billion it reported for the year-earlier quarter. Net income totalled US$815 million, an increase of 32% compared to US$617 million it brought in a year earlier.
Earnings per share landed at US$0.16, beating predictions made by analysts surveyed by Thomson First Call by two cents a share.
The quarter represents the company's highest level of profitability yet, Oracle said in a statement.
New software revenue came in at US$971 million, a 14% increase over the US$855 million reported for the year-earlier period. Software license update and product support revenue totalled US$1.3 billion, representing a 12% increase over the year-earlier quarter.
Service revenue increased slightly to US$533 million, 1% more than the US$529 million figure of a year earlier.
However, Oracle's emphasis on Monday was on its applications.
The recent quarter was great, but the real highlight was the 57% growth in new application sales, CEO Larry Ellison said in a conference call following the results.
And with completion of the PeopleSoft merger expected by December 31, Oracle predicted that its applications business would continue to make strides, increasing by double digits for the remainder of its fiscal year.
Although the company is planning a US$150 million reduction in research and development costs across both the Oracle and PeopleSoft product lines, it expects its application sales force to increase by 50% worldwide, allowing it to keep costs down while increasing revenues.
"Our sales force says something about how many applications we expect to sell," Ellison said.
Sales of its database software is also on track, Oracle said, after seeing its fifth consecutive quarter of growth.
Looking ahead, the company said that it expects total revenue for its fiscal third quarter to come in at between US$2.70 billion and US$2.79 billion, or an increase of between 8% and 11% year-over-year. New software license revenue is expected to be up around 8% for the third-quarter, while earnings per share should be in the US$0.14 to US$0.15 range, it said.
The company predicted that it would pay off its PeopleSoft buy within two years. Ellison added that the company would not consider any other large mergers until it had proven that this one worked.
The company was due to report its results on Thursday, but moved up the release in case it needed to discuss details from the quarter while in court this week, where it planned to continue its fight to take over PeopleSoft. That litigation has now been dropped.

Using all three seems a big excessive. What's the best method of categorizing and populating a magazine style layout. Just being driven by the category of the article, etc? Or are their plugins/methods for the editors to directly choose specifically which article appears where.

Colorado, the nation, and the world are facing the dire reality that climate change is having real and devastating impacts on our planet. Our state has seen years of prolonged drought, catastrophic forest fires, epic flooding, and unpredictable snowfall, and climate change is having an unprecedented impact on our outdoor recreation and tourism economies. Additionally, climate change and air pollution of all types more highly impact those who can least afford it, most specifically communities of color.
According to the recent IPCC report, scientists suggested that we must cut our carbon emissions by 50% by 2030 and 100% by 2050 (carbon neutral) to ensure a sustainable future. This is a goal that every responsible citizen should keep in mind and fight for. Unfortunately, the federal government is currently led by climate change deniers, so it's up to the state and local governments to take the lead. As activists, it's our duty to ensure that Colorado will take the lead, together with other blue and purple states in this country.
The five largest emitting sectors in Colorado are electricity, transportation, residential heating and cooling, industrial process, and oil and gas development. We need sector specific policies to reduce emissions, as well as a carbon emission cap consistent with the IPCC recommendation. Economists have a strong consensus on this - at a similar level as the consensus reached by scientists on anthropogenic climate change - we must put a price on carbon emissions to bring in a fast and just transition to a clean energy future.
Support a price on carbon in Colorado in 2019 and a nation wide price on carbon in 2021.
Ensure that Xcel will stay with its current stated emission goal; encourage Black Hills Energy and other electricity providers to do the same or more.
Ask Polis's Admin to get to 100% renewable electricity sooner than 2040.
Support Low Emission Vehicle and Zero Emission Vehicle standards.
Support the electrification of 100% of the transportation sector by 2050.
Quickly build up and expand electric car charging network.
Advocate for policies with a focus on the transportation of people, not cars.
Support better building codes with higher efficiency standards.
Support policies and incentives to electrifying residential heating and cooling.
Consider the implications of residential density on climate: higher density means lower per capita energy footprint, better land use, and better public transit.
Oil and natural gas have significant impacts on our environment, including methane and carbon pollution, air and ozone pollution, surface and groundwater contamination, and habitat fragmentation. It's particularly dangerous to develop near Superfund sites, homes, schools, water sources, wildlife habitat, and sensitive public lands.
Ensure that oil and gas development is prohibited on, under, or near any Superfund sites (Colorado has 20+, including Rocky Flats (Jefferson) and Rocky Mountain Arsenal (Adams)).
Ensure that oil and gas development is prohibited near homes, schools, water sources, wildlife habitat, and sensitive public lands; Increase setbacks.
Enforce more stringent leak detection, reporting and make the industry liable to adverse health and safety impacts.
Redefine the mission of the Colorado Oil and Gas Commission to put a priority on public health and safety.
Institute a 9-month moratorium on O&G drilling permits until the health and safety impacts can be better understood.
Support local control to increase regulations over gas and oil development.
Modifications to Forced Pooling Law.
Make the industry take the financial responsibility with better systems of bonding and financial assurance so that the state is not left footing the bill for damages created by oil and gas development.
Increase in Severance Tax to offset the downstream costs to communities for maintenance and mitigation of abandoned wells.
Enforce methane gas leak detection and capture during extraction and transportation.
Ensure that low income and color communities are not adversely affected during the transition.
Colorado's population is projected to grow by 50% by 2050. The population increase, together with gas and oil extraction activities, changing climate, pollution, overuse, growth of tourism and traditional management approaches are putting stress on our public land, water, air and wildlife habitat. Further, the ongoing federal deregulation that guts the Endangered Species Act, Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, and public land protection is threatening the economy of Colorado, our health and our lifestyle.
Support Governor Polis's Clean Water Plan: set water conservation goals, protect clean water, stop unnecessary water diversion.
Stop Denver Water's Gross Reservoir Expansion project.
Advocate for administrative protection of our public lands.
Advocate for expansion and protection of our state lands.
Protest the elimination of Offshore and Arctic National Wildlife Refuge bans.
Protest the gutting of Endangered Species Act, Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act and public land protection.
Protect the funding and authority of EPA.
With so much at stake, it's essential that each and every one of us will take action.
Call or meet with Cory Gardner or Michael Bennet - oppose the worst Cabinet nominees from an environmental perspective.
Call, email or meet with the Colorado administration including Governor Polis, Will Toor (the new Energy Director), state House members and state Senators to express your support for environmental protection and climate crisis legislation.
Testify at the State Legislature when legislation is being considered. Write citizen's testimony during public feedback periods for regulation changes or for big projects.
Write Letters To Editors to local newspapers.

Back in the spring of 1980, my older brother and I saw this trailer (or some variation of it) while waiting for another movie. My brother looked at me, serious as a heart attack, and said "We have to see this movie." Since my Dad (who was divorced from my Mom) was coming for his monthly visit the following weekend, we were going to do everything in our power to have him take us to see this R-rated film. To my Dad's credit, he wanted to take us to see "The Black Stallion," which, as far as G-rated films go, is pretty superlative. But my brother was beyond the age where G-rated films were remotely cool, and me, by extension as a spineless younger brother, agreed 100%. So after much cajoling, my Dad bought the tickets and we settled in for something that completely blew me away (and needless to say, was completely inappropriate for a 10-year old). Not only was "Mad Max" full of action, but a lot of people died … in very painfully graphic ways. I was seriously disturbed, but also completely thrilled. Of course, my brother and I completely ruined any future chance of seeing a transgressive movie like this by excitedly telling our Mom in graphic detail what we just saw. My Mom berated my Dad, who sheepishly shrugged his shoulders and tried to say, "I had no idea what kind of movie this was." Wherever you are Dad (he's since deceased), sorry for putting you in that position … but also thank you for taking my brother and me to such an awesome flick.

Home ICONIC CUENCA ECUADOR HOTEL, MANSION ALCAZAR, OFFERS SAVVY INVESTORS A MULTITUDE OF PROFIT-MAKING POSSIBILITIES
ICONIC CUENCA ECUADOR HOTEL, MANSION ALCAZAR, OFFERS SAVVY INVESTORS A MULTITUDE OF PROFIT-MAKING POSSIBILITIES
Cuenca, , Ecuador
The iconic Cuenca Ecuador hotel, Mansion Alcazar, offers savvy investors a multitude of profit-making possibilities whether acquiring a world-class hotel at a spectacularly low price or turning this luxury boutique destination into high-end residential suites, a lavish condo complex; a restorative spa or retreat; a meeting, special events or conference center; or whatever the desire of the new investor might be.
Mansion Alcazar is recognized for its unsurpassed elegance and luxury, and a step back into history that cannot be duplicated. This is the hotel of Presidents, dignitaries, and local and foreign celebrities … and the jewel in the crown of Cuenca's UNESCO World Heritage Site City.
The listing price for this fully furnished 14-room boutique hotel and premier Cuenca landmark is $2,5 million.
The sale price includes the Mansion building, all of the furnishings and artwork, beds and bedding, glasses, dishware, tables, chairs, beds, desks, dressers, all of the kitchen and hotel equipment, a formal restaurant with an extension set in a romantic pergola and a sophisticated Paris-type bar.
There is also a brand-new adjacent property with a stand-alone building — The Sucre Suites — with four Executive Condos, an elevator, a commercial space, and a business center, as well as 5 modern Garden Suites and a spa that are available for $1.5 million.
Should the buyer want to purchase both the colonial hotel and the additional adjoining properties, the listing price of $4 million can be negotiated.
Located on one of the most celebrated avenues in Cuenca — Simon Bolivar — this stately Cuenca Mansion was built in the late nineteenth century, and its classic architecture evokes the golden years of Ecuador's early Republic days. Yet don't let the history fool you. Every modern amenity and service has been included in what is one of the best high-end boutique hotels in South America. Consistently receiving awards, including the prestigious Conde Nast award of excellence, Mansion Alcazar is beloved by locals and visitors from around the world.
A complete restoration of this beautiful 130-year-old colonial, 1,017 sq meter Mansion began in 1999 and in 2001 the boutique hotel first opened its doors to rave reviews. Set on 1,057 sq. ft of land in the heart of downtown Cuenca, the hotel is only a 10-minute drive to Cuenca's airport that connects with international flights in Guayaquil and Quito.
The hotel is the benchmark of opulence in the city of Cuenca, Ecuador's cultural capital, and the country's third-largest city. Cuenca is renowned for its gorgeous patrimonial architecture, quaint cobblestone streets, its four picturesque rivers and Andes Mountains backdrop, and, for its international cuisine, culture, and hospitality.
Each room and suite in the Mansion has its own identity and a name that christens it, offering guests a unique experience on each visit. The interior decoration, both in the public spaces as well as in the hotel rooms and suites, transports guests to a refined style of elegance and distinction from a glamorous epoch. It includes a selection of fine furniture, ornaments, and art objects that once embellished the city's most palatial homes and estates — all included in the purchase price.
In the colonial part of the hotel, there are 10 charming Double and Single rooms and 4 Garden Rooms with beautiful views into the inner garden that will captivate your senses.
Past the alluring gardens that include an arboretum, a stunning pergola, native birds and hummingbirds, and an abundance of flowering shrubs and trees are the 5 modern Deluxe Premier Suites equipped with large sleeping and seating areas, set around the garden backdrop.
Here too is the Mansion's spa — the Shanti Boutique Spa — where highly-trained therapists offer a carefully chosen selection of massages and treatments from a variety of ancestral traditions blending western, indigenous Andean, and millenary treatments from India.
The newly-built Sucre Suites includes four Executive Suites, each featuring king-sized beds, a separate living area, dining area, and a kitchenette. The Sucre Suits building has an elevator and an office center and is the ideal place for business executives or full-time residents of Cuenca who desire a high quality, independent living or vacation condo, with all the amenities an on-site hotel can provide. This 360 square meter Sucre Suite Building, plus the 5 adjoining Garden Suites, can be sold separately or negotiated as part of the overall sale of the hotel.
The Mansion also has a beautiful restaurant — Restaurant Casa Alonso — that has a seating capacity for 26 persons. It is decorated with fine art objects, pewter plaques, silver cutlery, artisanal glass-made plates, crystal glassware, and hand-woven tapestries from around the world, all included in the purchase price.
El Bar – a wood-panelled bar with a sophisticated Paris vibe – is the perfect place for a relaxed business conversation or a casual pre-dinner drink with your family, friends, or business partners. All club chairs, table, and barware are included in the sale.
Mansion Alcazar is also known as the number one choice in Cuenca for special occasions and events such as wedding, birthdays, anniversaries and graduations. Additionally, the hotel hosts international conferences and business affairs throughout the year. This tradition can easily be continued and expanded by the new owners.
Together, these diverse elements have made Mansion Alcazar a unique space in the city that combines masterful elegance, nature, amenities, delicious food, and the highest quality service. The hotel's staff and management are excited and willing to come back to work for investors and the new owners allowing the Mansion hotel to be a complete turnkey operation and a seamless transition.
The asking price for the entire palatial colonial complex is $4 million negotiable. The price for the Mansion Alcazar hotel alone is $2.5 million. The separate 4-unit Sucre Suites building plus five additional Garden Suites is $1.5 million.
More information and a tour of this iconic Cuenca Ecuador hotel, Mansion Alcazar, and its stand-alone Sucre Suites building, are available upon request for serious buyers. Negotiated prices may be available when purchasing the entire bundle of properties.

And possibly my best friend too. I feel that spring is in the air and my spirits run high. I'm feeling giddy when I think I shall return home to find the guy I want to be with forever and ever waiting there for me.
I love him loads and since I found this beautiful love song from Ed Sheeran – I have been listening to it on repeat. Imagining him with me (not Ed, my beloved).
I want to slow dance with him, I want to put my head on his shoulder, feel him as he takes me in his strong arms, bask in the warmth of his gaze, drift slowly into nothingness as nothing really matters when I'm with him.


Flysystem is a filesystem abstraction layer, that was developed by Frank de Jonge and is used in Laravel. It gives you an interface for many different filesystems e.g. AWS S3, Dropbox, SFTP, Rackspace, Memory and a lot more. With this layer you are able to swap out filesystems without application wide rewrites.
Why did we create the magento2 flysystem module?
More or less with every project you get to the state where the customer wants to upload media files. Then you have to create a SFTP-Account, tell the customer how to upload and later use the files inside Magento. Or the customer has the files on his computer and is uploading the files three times for different products, categories, pages and so on. If you worked on projects, you know these kind of problems.
We decided to build a module with which you can select all files in one place. It does not matter if you need the image for products or catalog pages. And we also wanted to use this file pool in our custom modules on code base.
After some research we found Flysystem. The idea about a filesystem abstraction layer wasn´t really new to us, but we hadn´t found a performant (7.82 scrutinizer) and small library (around 41kb) before.
Actual feature set of Magento2 Flysystem module?
We need the Magento Community to help use extending this module and get configurations for all Flysystem adapters into Magento2. We want to use the filesystem abstraction layer in pages, blocks and so on. More or less everywhere, where the customer can input or change files (one file-pool). It would also be great if we find other module developers who are interested in using Magento2 Flysystem in their modules.
You can install the module by using composer. Check out the Installation & Configuration Guide. A complete documentation you can find on github wiki pages. If problems occur or you will find a bug, please create an issue on github.
At the end I have to say … big thanks to my colleague Robin Homberg who created this awesome Magento2 Flysytem module. And last but not least to Frank de Jonge for creating Flysystem.

Work on Coventry's new £36.7m water park is progressing fast, with the round building now starting to resemble the structure seen in computer generated images.
Demolition first began in October 2016, but it was not until September 2017 that the shell of the park properly took shape .
The water park is on the site of Spire House and Christchurch House next to Christchurch spire.
It has been designed to reflect the city's weaving past – with the outside appearing to be wrapped by a swirling ribbon.
Plans for the water park and leisure centre were given the go-ahead in summer 2016 by the city council.
Coventry Live first revealed plans for the water park, which will replace the loss-making Coventry Sports and Leisure Centre in Fairfax Street, in February 2014.
It is hoped the water park will be open by spring 2019.
Are you looking forward to the opening of the new water park in Coventry?

Oh my, where do I begin with A Cure for Wellness, it is a difficult film to approach because individual aspects of the film are quite interesting, but yet other parts of the film were horrific, and yet still so much of was just an overextended morose mess. Ok, to start the review off we will go through the setup of A Cure for Wellness, talk about its interesting aspects, and then look at its many, many issues.
TL;DR – Somewhere deep down in the heart of this film there is a good message, we need to value our teachers more, unfortunately, that message is drowned out with some really problematic script choices.
So, to be honest, I was not expecting much from Fist Fight, it is one of those films that you can kind of get the sense of whether or not you are going to enjoy it from watching the trailer, but I was hoping to be pleasantly surprised, as I am always an optimist. But wow where to begin, in many respects Fist Fight is one of the more problematic films that I have seen in quite a while, but also there is a good message in there somewhere, it's a difficult film to approach. So with this review, I'm going to set the scene and then talk about its positives, because there are some, and then I'll break down why I found it to be so problematic.

The proposal involved the clearing of all the land required for the residential development, roads and APZ. After the clearing had been undertaken the main bushfire threat would have then been the forest in the three connecting drainage lines/riparian corridors which dissect the subject property.
The drainage lines/riparian corridors containing the bushfire threat are characterized by steep sides which include slopes of 10 to 15 degrees. However in some sections the bank drops to 18 degrees or more. This steepness cannot be managed as an APZ and this constraint has been considered in the lot layout development.
This assessment specified specific building setbacks on some of the proposed lots. Habitable buildings will not be permitted within the area nominated as having a building setback. However the remainder of the site can support habitable buildings. The building setbacks were required as a condition of development consent. The consent authority is required to ensure that a mechanism is established to ensure the setback is enforced.
The APZ's located outside the residential lots was composed of a two-way public road, road side reserve and stormwater treatment swales and drainage.
It was proposed that a perimeter road or a fire trail to provide a buffer from the bushfire hazard was established. Also the proposed access needed to supply a perimeter road with two way access deliniating the extent of the intended development.

Obese 11-year-old girls 'get lower school grades'
"Study links obesity in teenage girls with lower academic results," BBC News reports. Previous studies have reported that child and adolescent obesity has a wide variety of adverse consequences...
"Study links obesity in teenage girls with lower academic results," BBC News reports. Previous studies have reported that child and adolescent obesity has a wide variety of adverse consequences in both the short and long term.
A large study of UK secondary school pupils has now looked at whether being overweight or obese at the age of 11 influences educational attainment on SAT tests at 11 and 13 years of age and GCSE grades achieved at 16 years of age.
The researchers found an association between obesity at 11 years of age and poorer academic achievement in GCSE exams five years later in girls, even after adjustment for a wide range of factors that could have influenced the results (confounders).
They say that the difference in academic achievement was equivalent to one-third of a grade at age 16, which would be sufficient to lower average attainment to a grade D instead of a grade C. However, the association between obesity and academic attainment was less clear in boys.
The reasons for an association between obesity and academic achievement in girls are unknown, but causes may include the health effects of obesity that could lead to girls missing school.
The study was carried out by researchers from the universities of Dundee, Strathclyde, Bristol and Georgia. It was funded by the UK Medical Research Council, the Wellcome Trust, the University of Bristol and the BUPA Foundation.
The study was published in the peer-reviewed International Journal of Obesity. The article is open access, meaning it can be accessed for free from the journal's website.
The results of this study were well reported in the media.
What kind of research was this?
This was a cohort study that aimed to determine whether being obese at 11 years old was associated with poorer academic attainment at 11, 13 and 16 years old. It also aimed to look for factors that might explain the relationship seen.
Cohort studies are the ideal study design to address this sort of question, although they cannot show a cause and effect relationship as there could be other factors (confounders) that are responsible for any association seen.
What did the research involve?
The researchers looked at the association between weight status at 11 years old and academic attainment assessed by national tests at 11, 13 and 16 years of age in 5,966 children who were part of the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children.
Children were only included in the study if they did not have a psychiatric diagnosis or special educational needs.
The researchers measured the weight and height of children when they were 11 and 16 years old, and their body mass index (BMI) was also calculated.
Healthy weight was defined by BMI "z-scores". Z-scores show how different an individual's BMI is from the average in the UK population (more precisely, it shows the number of standard deviations different it is).
There are no agreed cut-offs in the UK, but the World Health Organization (WHO) defines being overweight as more than one standard deviation higher than average and obesity as more than two standard deviations. This study has used a lower level to define obesity. In this study:
normal weight was defined as a BMI z-score more than 1.04
being overweight was defined as a BMI z-score of 1.04 to 1.63
being obese was defined as a BMI z-score of 1.64 or more
Academic attainment was assessed from performance in English, Maths and Science on Key Stage 2 tests at age 10/11, Key Stage 3 tests at 13/14 and GCSEs at age 15/16. The researchers concentrated their analyses on English attainment.
The researchers looked at the association between weight status and academic attainment. Boys and girls were analysed separately, as differences have been seen in academic attainment between the sexes.
The researchers also looked at whether the association seen between weight status and academic attainment could be explained by:
depressive symptoms at age 11
IQ at age 8
age of girls when their periods started
The researchers adjusted their analyses for a large number of potential confounders.
What were the basic results?
At 11 years of age, 71.4% of children were a healthy weight, 13.3% were overweight and 15.3% were obese.
After adjusting for all potential confounders, girls who were obese at the age of 11 had lower English marks at 13 and 16 years of age compared with girls who were a healthy weight. There was no significant difference in marks for overweight girls compared with healthy weight girls.
The association between obesity and English marks were less clear in boys, with a significant association only being seen for obesity at the age of 11 and lower English marks at 11.
Neither depressive symptoms nor IQ explained the relationship between weight status at 11 and academic attainment at 16 years old for boys or girls. The age at which girls had their first period also did not explain the relationship between weight status at 11 and academic attainment at 16 years old for girls.
The researchers also looked at changes in weight status. Changes in weight status had no effect on English attainment at GCSE in boys.
However, girls who were overweight or obese at age 11 and 16, or who changed from being overweight at 11 to obese at 16 had poorer English attainment at GCSE than girls who remained a healthy weight.
Girls who were a healthy weight who became overweight and girls who became a healthy weight from being overweight had no difference in English attainment at GCSE than girls who remained a healthy weight.
How did the researchers interpret the results?
The researchers conclude that, "For girls, obesity in adolescence has a detrimental impact on academic attainment five years later". They say that, "Being obese at 11 predicted lower attainment by one-third of a grade at age 16. In the present sample, this would be sufficient to lower average attainment to a grade D instead of a grade C."
The researchers go on to say: "Mental health, IQ and age of menarche [period] did not mediate this relationship, suggesting that further work is required to understand the underlying mechanisms. Parents, education and public health policy makers should consider the wide-reaching detrimental impact of obesity on educational outcomes in this age group."
This large UK-based cohort study has looked at whether being overweight or obese at age 11 influences educational attainment on SAT tests at 11 and 13 years of age and GCSE grades achieved at 16 years of age.
It found an association between obesity at 11 years of age and poorer academic achievement in GCSE exams five years later in girls, even after adjustment for a wide range of confounders.
The researchers found that depression, IQ and the age girls started menstruating could not explain the association. The association between obesity and academic attainment was less clear in boys.
The reasons for an association between obesity and academic achievement in girls are unknown. The researchers suggest that obese girls may miss school because obesity affects physical and mental health. They also suggest that obese children's academic attainment may suffer because they tend to be stigmatised by other children or teachers, or because excess fat might affect brain function.
Strengths of this study include the large sample size, cohort design, adjustment of analyses for a wide range of confounders, and the fact that BMI and educational attainment were objectively assessed. However, it should be noted that the researchers defined childhood obesity at a lower BMI level than that used by the World Health Organization.
However, as the researchers noted, despite the adjustment for a range of confounders, cohort studies cannot prove a cause-and-effect relationship, as there might be other confounders that are responsible for the association seen. They also point out that many of the confounders were only measured at one point and they were unable to adjust for change, such as changes in depressive symptoms.
The researchers suggest that future studies should explore the influence of other potential factors that could explain the association seen, including self-esteem, absenteeism, school environment and the role of the teacher.

Three teenagers have been arrested after tricking people into handing over their mobile phones in Lichfield's Beacon Park.
The arrests followed incidents at the weekend in which victims were also threatened.
The three, two aged 14 and the other 16, and all from the Birmingham area, were arrested on suspicion of robbery.
A 14-year old youth is due to appear at Tamworth Magistrates' Court today charged with conspiracy to rob. A 14-year old youth and a 16-year old youth have also been charged with conspiracy to rob and given bail with conditions that they do not travel to Lichfield.
Maybe this is why the helicopter was flying over Lichfield on Saturday evening for about half an hour?

Food Restaurants
Chef Scott Conant Brings Peace, Love, and Pasta to the Hudson Valley
Photos courtesy of Abrams Books
The Chopped celebrity chef dishes on his new cookbook and what's next on the menu at Cellaio, his Resorts World Catskills restaurant.
Scott Conant wants to keep things simple.
It seems like an irony for the celebrity chef, who regularly graces the judging panel on Food Network's Chopped when he's not hopping back and forth between his multiple restaurants. Yet for Conant, a Culinary Institute of America graduate and industry pro with more than 35 years of experience, food, a.k.a. the backbone of his career, shouldn't have to be complicated to be delicious.
Scott Conant with his daughters
Need proof? Just flip through Peace, Love, and Pasta, his new cookbook that's all about simple and easy-to-prepare recipes that are packed with flavor. Inside the book, the celebrity chef behind Cellaio, the Italian steakhouse restaurant at Resorts World Catskills in Monticello, introduces food lovers of all skill levels to recipes that he's collected from his earliest days in the kitchen at the Sea Loft in Waterbury, CT to his current role as an acclaimed chef and father.
To celebrate the cookbook's September 2021 debut, we sat down with Chef Conant at Cellaio to talk about his inspiration, recipes, and upcoming plans in the Hudson Valley (and beyond).
Peace, Love, and Pasta
We last spoke in 2018, when Cellaio first opened at Resorts World Catskills. What have you been up to since then?
There's been so much going on, particularly in the last year and a half. We were shut down here [at Cellaio] for a little while. With the help of the hotel in general and the team overall…we've really not missed a beat. If anything, I think we're better than ever in the restaurant and continually evolving.
Chef Frank [ed. note: Chef Frank Dimino is the Executive Chef at Resorts World Catskills] is really trying to help the team set it up for success in ways that a lot of other hotel partnerships don't work from the culinary side and the hotel side. It's a true partnership that I really appreciate, and I think, because of that partnership, it's always getting better. I feel like the feedback from guests as I was walking around the dining room just last night is nothing but positive. It's a great feeling.
Congrats on the cookbook! When did you come up with the idea for Peace, Love, and Pasta?
It was in the back of my head for a while, particularly with the title, Peace, Love, and Pasta. There's just an overall evolution that I think should happen in life. I've been cooking for 35 years now, so my intention was to be able to showcase some of those recipes, the highlights of the recipes that I've been cooking over time and tweak them a little for the home kitchen.
Is it just us, or does the title have Woodstock vibes?
Well, I listen to a lot of Dylan. [Laughs.] I think it's part of the overall evolution that I was referring to. When I first started cooking, I was always focused on just work. It wasn't until I had children that I really started to take time. I started working six days a week instead of seven when I had kids.
I feel like there's just a certain – it's hard to explain – but an overall calm that comes over you in a certain part of your life, hopefully. You know what I mean? Hopefully it happens.
Creamy polenta with stewed mushrooms
I just changed my perspective and really started to think more about happiness and that work/life balance, and I think COVID helped with that quite a bit as well. Just identifying the things you love out of both aspects of your life, both work and home, I think that's where it stems from.
[Peace, Love, and Pasta is] something I've been writing on books for years. It was a personal/spiritual aspect of things as well.
What type of person do you think would love this cookbook?
I think it really is a spectrum. There are things in there for people who are really picky eaters, much like my youngest daughter – and I reference that quite a bit – and things that, you know, you could sit down and then have fusilli with chicken livers and neonata, Calabrian chilis in this little Italian fish sauce. I mean, there's a spectrum of food.
[At Cellaio], we were even serving the baked stuffed lobster that's inside [the cookbook] that I made at my first job at the Sea Loft in Waterbury, CT. There are tweaks with it and stuff like that, but still, you know, it's a baked stuffed lobster, which is so old-school, and there's something about seeing it put on the table here that just warms me a little bit. It's cool to experience.
Fusilli with chicken livers and neonata
Which of the recipes in Peace, Love, and Pasta do you reach for the most?
You know, chicken cutlets are something that are in the book both as a sandwich and a play on a parmesan – melted baby tomatoes, burrata with chicken cutlets – and that's something that my mother used to cook. I feel like every single culture in the world has their version of a chicken cutlet. Despite what your background is, there's some kind of chicken cutlet there. It's just the best thing in the world.
It's weird because in a restaurant if you deep-fry it, it's such a completely different experience than if you pan-fry it. If you pan-fry it, it just tastes better. There's just something about it. It's nostalgic, you know what I mean?
That's what I think so much of this book is about and what food is about in general for people is that it gives that sense of nostalgia that takes you back to that "ratatouille" moment…to a place in life that you can identify with.
Chicken cutlet with burrata
How did the cookbook evolve for you?
I signed this deal before COVID. Inevitably, it changed a little bit, but not a lot. It was meant to be something that was a bit more chronological – my first job, second job, traveling through Europe, traveling in this place, working in this place, doing this. But then when we looked at it, it was kind of disjointed. It would be really hard for someone to pick up the book and say, "Where can I find this?" It wasn't sectioned with meats and fish and stuff like that.
That was the only change, really, but the direction was the same. It's things that I've experienced in my life and now I'm cooking at home for my children and trying to get them to open their own taste buds.
Is Cellaio your first stop on your book tour? Will you be visiting your other restaurants to celebrate the debut?
I am, but because of COVID it's all changed. The book tour I was going to do, visiting different cities, we're still trying to work it all out. But yeah, I'll do dinners at the other restaurants [ed. note: Conant also leads Mora Italian in Phoenix, AZ and The Americano in North Scottsdale, AZ]. We'll see, I might do something at friends' restaurants down the road.
Besides the cookbook launch, what else is on your plate right now?
I'm looking at some new projects, so I'm traveling to look at projects in various cities. I'm also shooting Chopped, and we have some other stuff on the shooting schedule as well. I'll be in Tennessee to shoot Chopped and then back home for a bit. It's just a lot of that over the next three months until the middle of December. I'm ping-ponging around to different places and different cities. It's a great problem to have.
Cavatelli with braised duck ragu and black truffles
What's on the horizon for you in the Hudson Valley?
We have menu changes coming up for fall soon [at Cellaio], which we're excited about. We have this beautiful pork belly that we're going to put on with autumn squash. It looks great. We'll have more player development dinners [with Resorts World Catskills] and things like that. It's really about making sure this menu is tight and making sure the team is [tight]. Like the entire world, we're looking for cooks and making sure our team is full. Food and beverage in particular I think has taken a hit across the country, not just here.
There's a lot of monotony when it comes to restaurants, like make sure you do the same thing over and over. It's really about consistency and identifying that consistency. It's not glamorous at all but it's necessary.
Vegetable risotto
Ok, last question: What one recipe in Peace, Love, and Pasta do you think people should start with?
Great question. I'm going to go back to those chicken cutlets with the melted baby tomatoes and burrata. It's just delicious. I mean, it's kind of a play on a chicken parm, and I don't know anybody who doesn't like chicken parm, right? You have these beautiful tomatoes and you don't have to do much with them. You don't have to get stuff from the cabinet and jarred stuff. With olive oil, garlic, tomatoes, and maybe a little bit of oregano and basil, you're good to go.

If you're reading this on your computer or phone, that's partly thanks to the diodes. Diodes—usually rigid electrical components that easily conduct current in one direction—are used for many important electronic functions, from converting AC to DC and converting mechanical to electrical energy. power to serve as a switch component enabling digital display etc. Electronic devices, such as robots or medical devices, are becoming more versatile as technology advances, so, Penn State researchers have developed a fully rubber stretchable diode to maintain performance.
The team published their results in scientific advance.
"This diode is entirely made of stretchy rubber — that rubber material strategy is key," says corresponding author Cunjiang Yu, Dorothy Quiggle Associate Professor of Career Development, Engineering Science Engineering and Mechanics, and associate professor of biomedical engineering and materials science and engineering. His team has previously developed other rubbery electronic materials, such as transistors. "By creating a rubber diode, we have enriched our rubber electronic library so we can get closer to creating integrated devices electrical circuit and all-rubber systems."
Than flexible device According to Yu, could behave more like biological tissue, allowing for better bio-integrated devices. An example might be a soft patch device that could be implanted in the heart.
"The beating heart generates electrical signals," he said. "With a rubber diode, a device can convert AC to DC inside the body, which is currently not possible."
To achieve such electrical performance while mechanically stretching, the researchers logically considered the device architecture, vertical structure, and layout, said Yu. In addition to the benefits for more flexible medical devices, the development also has implications for energy management systems in these countries. medical devices towards self-sustainable systems.
"The energy obtained from the harvester always needs to be rectified before the energy can be stored for use—and this is important in many emerging fields," says Yu.
Yu gave the everyday example of luminous sneakers, which contain a piezoelectric energy collector to convert mechanical energy—one step—to the electrical energy to light the LED. A rectifier circuit converts the received AC power into useful DC power.
"Researchers and industry are using conventional diodes, but they want something that can stretch out, like what we report in the paper," he said. "Such rubber diodes open up many possibilities."
Yu says that the next steps include further optimizing the diode and integrating it into more complex systems.
"We are looking for ways to improve the structure and performance of the diodes and to achieve undisturbed operation even under very great mechanical strain or strain," he said. "We want to use these diodes to address critical equipment needs in various emerging applications such as robotics and biomedical devices."

Q: What's this product of groups? Let $G=\Bbb Z[\frac12]/\Bbb Z$ be the (additive) Prufer 2-group and let $\Bbb Z$ be the group of integers.
Let $X=G\times \Bbb Z$ be the following product:

Let $g_n$ be the subgroups of $G$ in increasing order.
So $g_0$ is the smallest (the trivial) subgroup of $G$ and let $g_n$ be defined recursively so $g_n=\left\{x\in G,\nu_2(x)\geq-n,\right\}$
Then $X=\bigcup_n\left(g_n \times \Bbb Z^n\right)$

Is there a name for this form of product $G\times \Bbb Z$?
Is there a name for this group $X$?

It's isomorphic to the ordinal $\omega^\omega$ adjusted by a map which sends the coefficients of every term in Cantor normal form from $\Bbb N\to\Bbb Z$, with the elements of $G$ serving to indicate whether any given coefficient is positive or negative.

Matri Mandir is an imposing temple in Jairambati. The temple stands at the same place where the holy mother took birth. The original home of her father was exactly at this place. It is dedicated to the Holy Mother, Sarada Devi. The temple was built in 1923 and the marble image of Holy Mother was installed here in 1954. The temple enshrines a beautiful image of Holy Mother made out of marble. Daily puja and worshipping is performed here. The holy relics of the Sarada Devi are encrypted in the Sanctum Sanctorum of the temple. The temple structure is eye catching. Many devotees visit this Matri Mandir to offer their prayers to Holy Mother. A small Shiva Lings is also worshiped at this temple.

The Volcker Ambiguity - The triumph of political discretion over financial clarity
The Volcker Ambiguity. WSJ Editorial
The triumph of political discretion over financial clarity.
Wall Street Journal, Updated Dec. 11, 2013 3:52 p.m. ET
Just in time for Christmas, financial regulators have come down the chimney with a sackful of billable hours for securities lawyers. Truly a gift that keeps on giving, the Volcker Rule adopted on Tuesday by five federal agencies will create a limitless supply of ambiguity and the need for experienced counsel.
We supported former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker's simple idea: Don't let federally insured banks gamble in the securities markets. Taxpayers shouldn't be forced to stand behind Wall Street trading desks. What we can't support is the "Volcker Rule" that was first distorted in the 2010 Dodd-Frank law and has now been grinded and twisted into 71 pages of text plus 882 more pages of explanation after three years of agency sausage-making.
The general idea is to prevent "proprietary trading," in which a bank makes trades not at a customer's request but simply for its own account. Or at least some trades. The rule's new trading restrictions do not apply when Wall Street giants are trading debt issued by the U.S. government, state and local governments, government-created mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and in some circumstances foreign governments and even local or regional foreign governments.
You'll notice a pattern here. Like so many recent financial regulations, the Volcker Rule offers banks and investors big incentives to lend money to governments rather than private businesses. One Wall Street objection to the Volcker Rule has been that it will reduce liquidity in America's capital markets. And fear of a lack of liquidity in the market for government debt—especially Treasurys and European sovereign debt—is precisely the reason politicians and regulators have gone to such lengths to exempt government bonds from Volcker. Maybe Wall Street has a point.
What we don't know about the new rule are important details that will only become clear over time. At least that's according to Commissioner Daniel Gallagher of the Securities and Exchange Commission, who dissented on Tuesday along with fellow Republican appointees Michael Piwowar of the SEC and Scott O'Malia of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission.
Mr. Gallagher said the vote occurred in "contradiction of our procedural rules for voting on major rule releases, including the longstanding guideline that Commissioners should be given thirty days to review a draft before a vote." He added, "Not until five days ago did we have anything even resembling a voting draft, giving us less than a week to review the nearly one thousand pages of the adopting rule. In short, under intense pressure to meet an utterly artificial, wholly political end-of-year deadline, this Commission is effectively being told that we have to vote for the final rule so we can find out what's in it."
Lawyers will certainly find plenty of opportunities for judgment calls that will generate all those billable hours. Banks are still allowed to make markets in securities and to underwrite the issuance of new stocks and bonds, all of which often requires them to hold securities in anticipation of customer demand.
Banks also retain some ability to hedge—to make trades for the purpose of offsetting other risks that they've taken on for clients. The work required to define the difference between legal market-making, underwriting and hedging on the one hand and illegal proprietary trading on the other will now be ample enough to spark a new building boom at downtown D.C. law offices.
Rest assured banks will find loopholes. And rest assured some of the Volcker rule-writers will find private job opportunities to help with that loophole search once they decide to lay down the burdens of government service.
The long, convoluted Volcker process and result illustrate the central problem of Dodd-Frank: the belief that regulators given ever more discretion to craft ever more complicated regulations will yield a safer financial system. The Bank of England's Andrew Haldane and Vasileios Madouros have shown the opposite is true. The complexity of banking rules before the crisis failed to prevent catastrophic risks and made the job of addressing the crisis harder by obscuring the true condition of giant banks.
Especially with banking regulation, simple rules that are difficult for lobbyists and bankers to game are likely to work far better. Bankers would know what to expect and couldn't cry ambiguity if they crossed a line. And regulators would be far more likely to spy violations. The danger with this Volcker Complexity is that we'll get litigation, investing loopholes, and greater financial costs, but not a safer system.
