The first phase of Manhattan's massive new Hudson Yards project has already begun.
Here's what we know so far: The $15 billion, 26-acre mega-complex on the Far West Side will feature residential and office skyscrapers, a public square, a four-star hotel, and a huge sporting store.
That all sounds fine and dandy, but if the developers had asked us, here's what we would have wanted in that space.
Flatten the undersized and outdated Javits Center and build the conference center of tomorrow today (and not in Queens).
A mall-style food court--but instead of McDonalds and Subway, what's served is dumbed-down fare from all the great chefs whose restaurants you can't afford or can't get a reservation to (Michael White, we're looking at you!).
A casino or seven--Las Vegas on the Hudson and no need to drive 2.5 hours to AC to lose your shirt, oh, we mean WIN BIG!
An amusement/water park--all the fun and thrills of Disney with a NYC vibe (translation: infinitely less awful).
Massive indoor playspace for children (and husbands) with all the toys and electronics you can't fit in your junior-4. Think of it as a basement you don't have to heat or clean (perfect for rainy/cold days). Childcare, manicurists, barristas (maybe even mixologists!) on hand.
Drop-off bed bug fumigation facility that runs 24/7.
IKEA (that also delivers and has a repair team on site). No need to schlep out to Jersey/Brooklyn/Long Island every time a piece of awesomely priced furniture inevitably breaks.
Drive-in movie theater (bikes, scooters and skateboards welcome--this is New York after all).


HP: The World's Best Corporate Citizen?
HP may not be tops on Greenpeace's Guide to Electronics, but the computing company has still scored another honor in the sustainability realm: Best Corporate Citizen, as determined by Corporate Responsibility Magazine. The company surpassed Dell last year as the top PC seller, but that hasn't slowed down its commitment to doing good–HP received top billing on the list thanks to an impressive performance across seven categories (Environment, Climate Change, Human Rights, Philanthropy, Employee Relations, Financial Performance, and Governance).
Some of the other top 100 performers might surprise you. Much-maligned agriculture giant Monsanto ranked at number 31, McDonald's came in at 49, and ExxonMobil ranked at 51. One notable absence from the list is Google, which is described by CRO publisher Jay Whitehead as "one of the least transparent companies ever." It's a tactic that works well when it comes to protecting technology from competitors, but it doesn't serve Google in this case.
Despite some notable absences, this year's list is generally encouraging. The top company's score improved by 66% between 2009 and 2010, while the average score of companies on the list improved by 19%. Still, 40 companies from the 2009 list disappeared altogether–a statistic that could be explained by the impressive efforts of new entrants.

Rail transportation supports our economy and quality of life. But the tragic train derailment and explosion in Lac-Mégantic, QC highlighted the potential risks of transporting dangerous goods through our communities. FCM brings municipal rail safety priorities to the federal government and advocates to ensure municipalities have the resources they need to keep their communities safe
The federal government has responded directly to our concerns over issues such as insurance and liability, information sharing and Transport Canada's oversight of federal railways. In 2016, Ottawa committed $143 million over three years to improve rail safety. In 2018, it accelerated the phase out of legacy DOT/TC-111 rail cars.
We continue to work closely with Transport Canada to improve the safety of Canada's railways—and to address the concerns of cities and communities.

This morning I lost my Sam. Like any pet death, it was awful. But for me, it was heartbreaking. I had taken her out of her tank. She had been begging for me to pick her up, so I did. I gave her a little kiss on her back, and set her back in the tank. I put the lid on. My parents have told me to put a weight on top of the tank so they couldn't push it and get out. I thought the lid was on, so I place the weight on top of it. The lid wasn't on all the way, and the weight slid into the cage, and fell on my poor Sam, who was begging to be taken out again. When I picked her up, she was bleeding, and struggling. I whispered her name. Then she went limp. I rushed her downstairs to my dad (both my parents are vets). He started doing CPR but I knew it was too late. I buried her under a little red and green shrub, on top of and under some toilet paper shreddings, something she loved to curl up in.
She died in my hands.
I only had Sam for about two months. But they were such happy months. She was the sweetest little girl and I loved her like I'd never loved another pet. I can't help but feel responsible. Her life was short but sweet, and she made sure to share her sweetness with whomever took part in it.
Rest in peace my sweet Sam.
I'm so sorry for your loss. ;n; It's always hard when it feels like you're responsible for the death of a pet, but you did what you could for her, and remember that she doesn't blame you for it. Just learn from this to take even better care of your future animals.
Oh no, so many accidents today. :'( Im so sorry about Sam. Accidental deaths are so hard, especially when you feel like youre at fault. At least with effort, youve learned from your mistakes and the same thing wont happen again. Rest in peace, little Sam.
Oh no, I'm so very sorry for your loss. I know you feel really bad and nothing we say will make it better, but it was an accident. Don't be too hard on yourself. Sending you hugs.
I'm sorry for your loss. I've fretted the same outcome and understand the guilty feeling. I hope you'll feel better soon.
Oh my gosh. You people are making me cry. I find it so amazing how this community of people I barely know is so supportive and kind! Thank you so much!


The big news from last week was that ASB decided to move from Droga5 to Saatchi & Saatchi, bringing an end to ongoing speculation that relationship was on the ropes. And there's a bit more reshuffling to announce, with The Research Agency winning ASB's advertising and brand tracking research programme in a non-competitive pitch from the incumbent Colmar Brunton.
"ASB was looking for a new research partner to add greater value to their business," says partner Amber Coulter.
The Research Agency was already working with ASB in the product area, but this is the first time it's had a chance to get stuck into the brand and advertising.
But wait. There's more. It has also recently won the advertising and brand tracking work for Beam Global and became a media partner for cancer charity KidsCan.
The Auckland boutique agency now has ten staff, works with other big clients like IAG, Volkswagen, Frucor, NZ Lotteries and Vodafone, and was the 42nd fastest growing company in New Zealand in the Deloitte Fast 50 last year after taking 29th position in 2010.


Bea and I just got back from a lovely five days visiting family in California. Since we're nearing the end of tax season, Frank is gearing up and working longer hours. (Our "home by midnight" rule is being bent…) My mom was heading out anyway to help her sisters and my grandma sort out a transition to her next apartment at an assisted living facility and my dad agreed to fly with me so I wouldn't have Bea by myself, so it seemed like good timing. It's always wonderful visiting in the spring – everything is green and in bloom while we're still waiting on a few late snowstorms before blossoming. My aunt's house has an amazing hill to explore, so Bea went on many "'ventures" while we were there. She also got lots of cousin time in, which is always fun!
On a 'venture in Aunt E's backyard.
I read a lot of good books this month! Next on our Reading Challenge was Ayn Rand's We the Living. I think it's my favorite of the books I've read by her: Shorter (less than 500 pages!) and the most autobiographical. If you haven't read any of her work, I'd start here.
I finally read Luci Shaw after seeing her recommended by various people. The Crime of Living Cautiously was beautifully written and a great challenge. I also read Praying with Icons and am now thinking we need an icon corner in our house. One of my most spiritually moving moments was in a Russian Orthodox church so it was nice to read more about the practicality of using images while praying.
This was a month of reading thicker books that were quick reads. Monuments Men was a bit repetitive but such an interesting story I couldn't put it down. Hopefully we'll watch the movie, but our track record isn't great these days… I also read Americanah, on Leigh Kramer's recommendation and loved it! The story sucked me in and made me think about race and identity. Since my book club is still reading Disunity in Christ, it linked well with themes in that.
I'm still reading Girls Will Be Girls slowly – really trying to take my time with it. Next on my nightstand is Bend, Not Break by Ping Fu.
Bea has been really into Fantasia and Fantasia 2000 lately, so that's been on repeat. She loves announcing that she's ready to listen to Beethoven, even though I think she just means the soundtrack…. I had forgotten what fun movies they are, so it's been neat reconnecting with old favorites. When I was teaching, I would do a writing unit using Fantasia as an example of creating stories out of music and it's been so cool listening to Bea retell the stories and add her own little spin.
After a discouraging week in social media, Preston Yancey's reflection was just what I needed to read. I also loved Sarah Joslyn's A Prayer for Justice over at SheLoves Magazine. (Where, I just found out, I've been linked in their March Zine. Pretty cool!) Over here, my own favorite and most popular was Girls.
I love springtime in Colorado! One day it's 70 and sunny, the next, 40 and snowy. Our snow now is the fat, wet, spring snow that looks so pretty with tulips peaking through. We've been doing lots of Museum dates but now I'm thinking we'll transition back to Botanic Gardens dates. We also opened up the backyard sandbox, and Bea would live there if I let her. Probably my favorite time of year!
We also finally went to the Wild Animal Sanctuary, a refuge for abused large carnivores. It was a great experience and we'll definitely be going back. Highlight: Hearing a lion roar as he roamed his compound. Sad stories, but an amazing organization.
Checking out a tiger at the Wild Animal Sanctuary.
Linked with Leigh Kramer's What I'm Into. Head over there for fun books, activities, and goings-on from March.
Glad you were able to spend time with family and glad you enjoyed reading Americanah! I can see how it would pair well with Disunity in Christ.


Once upon a time there were two sisters and both had magical powers. Their powers came from a very special magic dust that they had inherited from their father. A tiny sprinkle was enough to transform anyone into anything they wished. The two sisters were very wise and kept the magic dust hidden and only used it when it was absolutely necessary. That was how they were able to live such peaceful and happy lives together for so many years. When the sisters got to be quite old, they found that it was very difficult to keep up with all the housework like they used to do. They knew it was time to get someone to help with the cooking and cleaning, but they did not want to hire anyone from the nearby village because it would be so hard to explain the magical things that happened around the house.
Then one day, the oldest sister had an idea. They didn't need to hire someone from outside, they could just use the magic dust to make themselves a servant. So they went out into the yard and sprinkled some magic dust on a young pig sow and she immediately transformed into a serving girl. They took the pig-girl inside and showed her how to cook the dinner and wash the dishes and scrub the floors. Everything went along fine until the weather began to get cold and the apples were all ripe on the trees. Pigs are very greedy about apples. When the pig-girl went to market she would spend all her money buying bushels of apples and bring them home forgetting to buy flour and sugar and other necessary things. In no time at all, the house was stuffed full of apples. The sisters, at their wits end, finally ordered the pig-girl to make candied apples and take them to the village for the Halloween celebration. They thought it was as good a way as any to get rid of all those apples.
When the pig-girl was making the candied apples, though, she realized that she didn't have any sugar. She had been so excited to buy more apples last week that she had completely forgotten to buy sugar. Then she remembered seeing a box full of sparkling powder that looked just like sugar up in the attic the last time she had cleaned it. Without telling anyone, she hurried up and dumped that box into the pot of candy apple glaze. When she had finished dipping all the apples, those were the most beautiful candied apples ever. She licked her lips while she was packing them up and she would have eaten one if the sisters hadn't come in right then to compliment her on her cooking and hurry her on her way.
At the village, the pig-girl added the candied apples to the food table. They looked so shiny and delicious that they were quickly grabbed up by everyone, young and old alike. Everyone said that they were so sweet and light and crispy and flavorful that it was almost like magic.
Of course, it was magic. That sparkling powder was the magic dust and every person who ate an apple was given the power to transform. Without anyone to say the magic words and tell what they should change into, each person changed into whatever they were thinking of at the time they ate the apple.
First to eat was a little boy. He had been whining all day for food and drinks and candy and treats, and his poor mother was at her wits end. As soon as they arrived at the celebration, the little boy jerked free of his mother's hand and ran straight to the big pile of apples. No one even noticed the him as he slipped under the table and crunched down on the apple. And no one noticed when, with a little POP!, he turned right into a big pile of candy.
The next person to eat an apple was a young girl. She had been dreaming of having her very own pony. Everyone DID notice when a lovely white pony with braided mane and tail appeared at the party, but they all assumed someone had just brought it in for the celebration.
The apples were disappearing quickly, and here and there people were being transformed. A young man suddenly grew a foot and big muscles popped out on his arms. A woman became as beautiful as a princess. Two men turned into goats and began butting horns at once.
An old woman ate one and immediately she was forty years younger. She was so surprised that she started to look for the village doctor to ask him about it, but on the way she heard the dancing music start and she couldn't resist joining in the dancing on young legs again. Hours passed before she left the dance circle.
By that time, the ordinary village celebration looked like a circus. There was a juggling clown, a striped tiger, and a woman so small she could fit in the palm of your hand. Somehow someone had swelled up like a big balloon and was floating around, bouncing off tree branches and the roofs of houses. And invisible girl slipped in and out of the crowds, and a boy darted around running so fast he was only a blur.
Several days passed before the pig-girl came back into the village to do her shopping. She couldn't believe what she saw. A rabbit sat in the sheriff's chair. The innkeeper was opening his shutters with hands that were solid gold. An old man flew (yes, flew!) right up to her and told her the whole story. Horrified, she ran straight home and told the two sisters all about it.
Of course, the first thing the two sisters did was to get out their box of magic dust. And of course, it was empty. When they heard what the pig-girl had done, they were terribly angry. Then they laughed just a little. Then they began to desperately search for something to do to fix the situation. In one of their father's old books, they finally found the recipe for a potion that could reverse transformations. Sadly for the village, it took about three months to brew. Still, the sisters went right to work. They also sent the pig-girl to the village to round everyone up and explain.
It was a long three months in the village. Being made of gold and being able to fly are not really as wonderful as they might seem like they would be. Being a goat is not wonderful at all. Even being forty years younger is surprisingly tiresome after a while. Finally the day came when the sisters called everyone to their house to take the potions. Those that could drink it, did. Those that couldn't had it poured over them. Soon everyone was back to normal, including the little pig running around in the sister's yard.
The sister's did not try any more transformations after that. They hired a nice young girl from the village to do their housework.
And no one in that village ever ate a candied apple again.

HB2 has generated international headlines and opposition from hundreds of companies. PayPal dropped plans to expand in Charlotte with hundreds of jobs as a result of the law.
Jackson called HB2 "the elephant in the room" as the House debated its budget. "It's not the wooden elephant that stands on people's desks," he told Republicans, referring to their mascot, "but it's the potential loss of federal funding. But I understand that is a debate for a different day and a different time."
Jackson has tried multiple strategies to repeal HB2 during the current short session. He filed a bill that so far hasn't gotten a committee hearing. And he's seeking signatures on a "discharge petition" that would force a vote on his bill if he can get 61 House members to sign – a difficult task given that a number of Republican signatures would be needed to meet the requirement.

The new Subaru XV is an example of why crossovers are trendy
We attended the launch in Taiwan

Crossovers are so handy it's amazing no one thought of them sooner. They have the comfort of a sedan, most of the ground clearance of a typical SUV, and the space of a hatchback. And lately all of them are sport great designs.
Case in point is the all-new, second-generation Subaru XV. Its predecessor was a runaway hit for the Japanese carmaker, despite not having a turbocharger. It reached out to a new market that wanted the stability of all-wheel drive, the Japanese build quality, and a bit of performance.
We were able to sample the new XV during its launch in Taiwan a few months ago, and it is better than the first generation in every way. And because they look so alike, there's a strong visual continuity here too. Current owners will likely be tempted to upgrade, and it'll bring in new buyers as well.
The official Philippine launch is happening in a few weeks, so stay tuned for updates about this cool crossover.

Nyingma Pa is the oldest sect of Tibetan Buddhism, its name literally means "ancient,". It was created by Padmasambhava in 760 AD, whom came to Tibet together with Shantarakshita being invited by King Trisong Detsen. During that time, about 108 translators were brought to Tibet spending years to translate large scriptural of Dharma-teachings. Those translated scripture formed the base of the development of Buddhism in the Tibetan plateau.
There are six monasteries known as "Mother monasteries" of the Nyingma Pa lineage, which are as follows: Katok Monastery, Dorje Drak Monastery, Mindroling Monastery, Pelyul Monastery, Dzogchen Monastery, Shechen Monastery. Among those, 4 monasteries of Katok , Palyul , Shechen , Dzogchen , are located in Derge county in the eastern Tibet of Kham, which has made Kham the center of this lineage.

Senior schools and the college in the city have taken over the plays and will perform a selection at the first Lichfield Mysteries Festival in February.
Students from Lichfield Cathedral School, The Friary, King Edward VI, Nether Stowe and South Staffordshire College will take part in the non-competitive event.
Arranged by the Trustees of Lichfield Mysteries Community Arts the festival will also feature a production by Adolf Reichwein Schule Theatre Group, from Lichfield's twin town of Limburg and der Lahn.
Lichfield Cathedral School will present Adam and Eve and The Burial and students have been working with Head of Drama Beverley Dunne on new interpretations of the original scripts.
Mrs Dunne said: "We have taken Adam and Eve and looked at it to see what is relevant about this story for an audience in 2019.
The play will be performed as a comedy, set on a building site with God as the Gaffer. "As the builders act out the story, a much darker twist takes place as Lucifer is personified as two violent and brutalised gang members who force Adam and Eve to take drink.
In The Burial, the students have explored the context of the body of Jesus being played by the whole cast.
Students from all schools have been working hard over the last few weeks to present both traditional and more modern interpretations of the plays.
There will be three adjudicators at the Festival – Elle Knight B.Ed LLAM FLAM, Malcolm Flanagan CBE and author and director Peter Sidgwick. They will provide written adjudications for each production.
The festival is in the theatre of The Friary School, Eastern Avenue, Lichfield, on 9th February at 2pm.
Tickets are £3 – the money being divided between the participating schools and college – and are available from the Samuel Johnson Birthplace on Breadmarket Street.
I like the idea of metaphor in drama, and I'm a huge fan of Ibsen, Chekhov etc. but, really? God as "the gaffer"? Presumably, and in name of realism, the builders will be taking long protracted breaks and taking 4 times longer than expected to deliver thier lines?
Is Adam and Eve being staged in Paris?

Shopping for real estate is one task that should never be taken lightly. If you are looking for investment opportunities and not sure what industry you would like to make profits in, then you can't go wrong with investment properties. There are many different ways you can invest in the real estate industry. You can purchase run down or foreclosed home, fix them up and rent them out for profit. You could also purchase property and open up a business. Some people like to make some money by purchasing tax deeds and turn them for profit when the delinquent owner pays their back taxes with the added interest. No matter how you decide to make you money, the key to doing so is to shop around for the best pieces of property for your needs.
Depending on how you intend on making money with real estate, you may need to be very selective about what properties you decide to purchase. You shouldn't rely on a picture when you are choosing property. You also shouldn't rely on what someone tells you about any property. When it is all said and done, once you have purchased property under the assumption that there is nothing wrong with it, only to find out later that there is something wrong with it, you are the one that is responsible for making the necessary repairs to bring that piece of real estate up to code. Go to your local county building and dig up the records for any property you want to buy. Find any and all disclosure agreements on the property and inspect them so you can learn about the true condition of any property you want to purchase. Protect yourself and make sure that any property you purchase meets or exceeds your expectations.
Another way to make investing in real estate much easier for you is to have a partner or a property agent help you with your search for investment property. They can help you find property that may not be available right away but will be placed on the market soon. They can put you in contact with other professionals that can help you with your property. If you need to find contractors for inspection, renovations and even relisting they can provide those extra resources for you. Keep in mind that depending on what your specific needs are, it may take you a bit of time to find everything you need. Don't let the searching process make you lose sight of your goals. Remember, in order to make money, sometimes you have to be willing to make smart investments with it. Relax and use your first experience as a learning one and each experience that follows as a foundation for the next. Brush up on the laws and regulations regarding property in your state, that way you know your rights. This will also protect your interest and your future investments.

Open auto transport is one the best option for people who choose auto shipping services. Open auto transport simply means that the car carrier we use is open to the elements as opposed to enclosed. Open carriers are the most cost-effective method of shipping and provide fully insured, door-to-door service.
It's important that you are a part of the inspection process at both pick up and delivery. This documentation is important for your records, especially if there were to be any issues such as damage. In most cases, the insurance provider will refuse to recognize any claim without proper documentation including the damage notation at delivery.
Ensure the exterior of your vehicle is clean at the time of pick up. This will help the driver complete an accurate evaluation report of the exterior condition before loading it for transport.
Before the driver does his report, take some time to inspect the exterior of your vehicle. Walk around your car and note any scratches, dings, dents, or blemishes. This will allow you to compare your inspection to the carrier's condition report. You may take pictures for your own record, but in most cases, these pictures will not be accepted by the insurance provider as documentation. This is mainly due to the fact that the camera does not capture many small dents and scratches. As mentioned above, it's more important to note any issues on the delivery inspection form when it comes to a claim with the insurance company.
Make sure to have your inspection sheet from pick up readily available when the carrier arrives. Perform a walk around inspection of your vehicle again, using your initial inspection as a guide.
In the unlikely event that there is damage to your vehicle, not noted on your original inspection, make a note on the delivery inspection form before signing. Be as specific and detailed as possible when it comes to the area and type of damage. Providing as much detail as possible will make the paperwork more accurate when filing a claim with the carrier and/or their insurance company.
Contact our Resolution Specialist who will assist you with the process of filing and resolving this claim with the carrier and their insurance provider.
Our enclosed transport service is simply the best money can buy. All of our trailers are hard sided & equipped with a lift gate service, which means the ramp will lower all the way flat to the ground and then the vehicle is driven on the ramp and the ramp raises back up into the carrier; this will prevent any scraping while loading.
Are you looking for a safe and secure way to transport your vessel? Are you looking for an auto transport company that you can depend on – that works to earn your business by delivering top-notch customer service, and specializes in using the finest auto carriers in the country, that provides door to door service with free insurance included?
One of COTONOU-DIRECT specialties is its heavy haul transport division. This consists of tractor/trailer combinations used for the movement of heavy equipment and materials at legal maximums and special permit loadings for oversized loads.

Q: speed when downloading static files with servicestack.net I am testing out a pretty basic ServiceStack setup, where i at the moment want to host some static static files. I am hosting the static file by placing them directly in the servicestack root directory.
When i want to fetch the file i just issue a normal get request as in : http://somehost.net/somefile.bin
When i issue this request, using chrome, on the computer which hosts servicestack i get a immediate download of the file. If i try to down the files from another computer on the LAN (1Gbit network) the download crawls at around 6Kb/sec.
Anyone else had speed issues when hosting files like this with servicestack?
P.S: This is NOT a network issue.

Why Do We Like Crime Shows?
It appears that all television provides today is truth TV and crime series, however what is the factor for this? Both are very popular and have an exceptionally large fan base, but what is the genuine appeal of these sorts of programs? When it pertains to crime series in specific, there are a few different reasons thought to explain their general appeal.
Crime series such as Crime Story and Wiseguy have actually reached heights of unbelievable popularity, and there are a number of reasons believed to be behind this. The most major is that people are interested in basic by crime and how crimes are fixed, therefore reveals such as CSI, for example, which give us an in-depth account of the steps that are required to capture the bad guys actually get our interest.
Not just that but they likewise consist of the audience as a part of the program, as throughout the duration of the program there are numerous tips and clues which are considered that the audience can try to utilize themselves in order to piece the puzzle together.
Although crime series are generally liked by all, there has been some controversy surrounding them, especially just recently. For one there has been much argument on whether or not these crime series are playing a role in the increased rate of violence in the genuine world. It is thought by some professionals that because more people are seeing violence and crime in these sorts of shows that they are bring this violence into their own life.
Research study on the effects of not only violence in TV but in the media in basic has actually been performed thoroughly over the previous couple of years in specific, and whether exposure to media violence causes increased levels of aggression and violence in youths is truly the question of media impacts research study these days.

LTTE urges China to consider Tamils plight at UN
[TamilNet, Friday, 20 March 2009, 07:31 GMT]
Political Head of the Liberation Tigers of Tamileelam (LTTE), B. Nadesan, on Friday urged Chinese government to allow Tamils plight to be discussed at the UN Security Council for a second time. "The Sri Lankan state is not only denying the Tamil sovereignty, but it is waging a genocidal war against them of catastrophic dimensions," said Mr. Nadesan adding that Colombo was engaged in a propaganda campaign saying that the conflict is an internal matter.
LTTE Political Head B. Nadesan
"We urge China, Russia and all the powers of the world not to ignore the plight of the civilians who face a genocidal war by the Sri Lankan state," he said when contacted by TamilNet following reports that China was not in favour of a second UN Security Council meeting on Sri Lanka.
Earlier, there were reports of Russia not willing to discuss the issue in the Security Council. The UN Security Council later had a briefing.
"Denying medicines, humanitarian supplies and the deliberate, inhuman targeting of civilians constitute serious war crimes and crimes against humanity on the part of the Sri Lankan state," Nadesan said.
More than 70 million Tamils of the region and the Tamil diaspora share a deep concern about the plight of their beleaguered brethren, he pointed out and urged China to discuss the plight of the Tamil people at the UN.
The LTTE's representatives were willing to explain the plight of the Tamils to the Chinese authorities, he further said.

Nestled just west of Grand Junction, Colo., rests the small town of Fruita. First settled by a couple in 1882, it's grown into one of Colorado best tourist destinations.
After digging into Fruita's history, we've found some interesting facts about the small town.
Here are seven things you may or may not know about Fruita.
In 1886, farmers in the area could buy 5 acres, 200 fruit trees and water for $500.
The first residents in Fruita were Mr. and Mrs. Albert Lapham lived in a pre-existing dirt floor cabin with a blanket door in 1882.
When the town was founded by William E. Pabor, he included a provision where alcohol couldn't be produced or sold in the town. That law stayed in effect until it was voted out in the 1970s.
Fruita is rich in ancient fossils. In 1900, Elmer Riggs found the first-known Brachiosaurus in an area now known as Riggs Hill.
Not to be outdone by the first dinosaur remains. Fruita has two dinosaurs named after the town. The first, the Fruitadens was found in the 1970s and 1980s. The second, the Fruitafossor was found in 2005.
After his owner cut off his head, Mike the Headless Chicken lived for 18 months. Mike became an infamous side-show freak.
Fruita hosts miles and miles of premier mountain bike trails. The most famous, the Kokopelli trail starts in Fruita and continues 142 miles to Moab, Utah.

Family of Teen Killed in Drunken UTV Crash Sues Deer Camp Owners, Teen Driver
The family of a 16-year-old aspiring model in Texas has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against adult property owners of a deer camp and a group of teens.
According to news reports, the girl was killed in late July after being ejected from a utility task vehicle (UTV) during a 3 a.m. ride on the property. Authorities said the teens were consuming alcohol throughout the day and playing drinking games. They had been out riding earlier, and someone suggested they go out again in the middle of the night.
The operator of the UTV in which decedent was riding made a sharp turn at a fork in the road. This caused the vehicle to slide and roll, smacking the edge of a dirt road and pitching right. Decedent was ejected 20 feet from the vehicle, striking her head and body on the ground.
She suffered a traumatic brain injury. Her friends located her and returned to the deer camp, where they contacted a neighbor and called 911 for assistance by paramedics. Decedent ultimately died of her injuries.
Decedent's family alleges in the lawsuit that there were several parties at fault here.
First, they assert the property owners were liable because the condition of the premises created an unreasonable risk of harm because the grading of the roadway was dangerous, particularly for UTVs. They further allege the owners of the property failed to ensure the vehicle they were operating was entrusted to a driver who was competent.
Also named as a defendant is the friend who supplied the alcohol to his minor friends and encouraged them to drink, thus creating a situation that was unreasonably dangerous. An older adult, in whose name the property was rented, is accused of failing to adequately supervise minors entrusted to his care, while another is accused of encouraging excessive use of alcohol. Several of those involved are also accused of failure to properly render first aid and assistance.
The family is seeking damages for pain and suffering, medical expenses, funeral expenses, mental anguish and loss of consortium.
News reports were initially that the teen girl was driving the UTV, but the lawsuit indicates that was not the case. The girl, who had just received an invitation by a California modeling agency for an audition, reportedly "never left the driveway without a seat belt on," according to her mother.
The girl tweeted in the hours before the crash about the group having 160 beers to share.
In Florida – as in Texas – it is illegal for minors to consume alcohol. Those who supply alcohol to minors face not only criminal charges, but civil liability as well.
As our Palm Beach injury attorneys can explain, F.S. 768.125 is known as the "dram shop law." It states that an establishment that sells or furnishes alcohol to a person of lawful drinking age won't be liable for injury or damage resulting from that person's intoxication. However, there is an exception when a person or establishment willfully and unlawfully sells or furnishes alcohol to someone who is either under the age of 21 or who is known to be habitually addicted to alcohol.

1" tall x 18" wide. Silver Nailwort is a tough-as-nails groundcover with tiny green thyme-like leaves and silver seed heads that look like white flowers. Recommended as an improved substitute for white thyme because it's more durable and drought tolerant. Drought resistant/drought tolerant plant (xeric).
Paronychia (Nailwort) - A low growing groundcover native to limestone areas of the Pyrenees and Alp mountain ranges of Europe.
Plant in low fertility ("lean"), fast draining soil in a full sun location. Avoid clay. Mulch with gravel or not at all.
Water regularly the first growing season to establish the plant. Thereafter, infrequent but deep watering is all this plant needs.
Paronychia is an evergreen, mat forming plant that needs little pruning or clipping. The white flowers quickly form showy white seed heads which stay on the plant for many months. Old seed heads can be scratched loose and swept or blown off (with a leaf blower) in late summer.


In a globally dynamic business environment, continual training is a key driver of sustainable employee performance in the 21st century organizations. A survey of Kenya firms revealed that on average, businesses allocate 3% of their operating budgets to private security services and security upgrade. The main objective of the study is to determine the influence of training on employee performance in the Private Security Industry in Kenya. The study sought to improve employee performance, efficiency, and effectiveness in service delivery. The study adopts descriptive research design and positivism research paradigm; study unit of observation was the Private Security Guards. The target population is 150,000 and the sample size was 213. Kaiser-Meyer-Oklin was used to measure of sample adequacy. Purposive and systematic random sampling technique was adopted. The pilot test of 10% of sample size was used. Test for validity was done through Bartlet's sphericity test. Reliability was determined through Cronbach's Coefficient Alpha. Triangulation was adopted in data collection tools. The study adopted descriptive data analysis, use of statistical inferences and hypothesis testing. The Data Analysis was done with the help of STATA Version 13.0. The quantitative data was presented through tables and descriptive statistics analysis, correlation, regression and ANOVA was adopted in the analysis. The study found a practical and statistically significant positive relationship between training and employee performance at regression coefficient of 1.112, t-value = 2.63 and P-Value 0.010. Interpretation: the magnitude of the coefficient of training is 1.112; this implies that, ceteris paribus, a one unit change in the score of training leads to 1.112 units change in the score of employee performance. Hence, training is a key driver in the PSI. The study recommends focus on offering relevant and effective training, identifying approved training centers, have a well developed standard training curriculum and improved terms and condition of employment.

Spandex Fibre is something that is being hailed as the fiber of the future. It is not a new type of fiber but its new uses have been discovered lately and it is becoming more and more mainstream. Spandex Fiber is being used for creating multiple products including clothes, sheets, furniture covers, sportswear, and a lot of other products. Here are seven things that you need to know about the Spandex Fiber or Lycra, elastane.
The fiber of Future:
It is being considered the fiber of the future but it is a product that was created back in the 19th century by DuPont, which is an American manufacturer. This fiber has many amazing characteristics that make it a potential candidate for the future of fiber.
Durable and Long Lasting:
This fiber is one of the most durable, and long-lasting fibers. For that reason, it is being used for the creation of durable, and long-lasting dresses. Most of this production happens in China and India, but it is also being used for creating wearables in Pakistan, the United States, and some South American countries as well.
Breathable – Allows Air To pass:
This fiber is not just a durable, and long-lasting product, but also a breathable one. For that reason, it makes a great choice for not just wearables, but also seat cushions, and furniture covers for home products. This fiber has so much elasticity that you can scratch it to create breathable portions on the fiber. These elastic parts are used for breathable wearables and covers.
Good For Sports Wear:
Spandex Fiber has become a favorite choice of many international sportswear manufacturing brands. This is because it allows the brands to create more comfortable, easy, and durable sportswear of high quality. Clothes made of Spandex Fiber are being worn by almost every major franchise player in the world. The lightweight fiber feels very comfortable when wearing and that has contributed towards the popularity of this fiber.
Super Stretchable:
It is a type of fiber that is made of polyester, which is known for being highly stretchable. Similarly, this is also a super flexible and stretchable fiber that you can wear, and use for other purposes. Its stretchability allows the sportswear brands to create more breathable shirts, underpants, sports bras, and more products. Also, the super stretchability and elasticity of this fiber are very useful in making a lot of things.
Multiple Uses:
The use of spandex fiber is not just limited to sportswear. It can be used for making a lot of products. You can create virtually any product that has needs like stretchability, breathability, and durability. For example, apart from sportswear, this fiber is being used for making seat cushions, and furniture covers. There are many similar examples of the uses of Spandex Fiber.
Lighter and Versatile:
This is also a very versatile and lighter product. It is virtually weightless as compared to polyester, and other stretchable products. This stretchability and weightlessness make it suitable for creating a ton of products. These were the seven most important things that you needed to know about the spandex fiber to better understand it, and why it is popular or why it is used. You should know that there are also multiple types of spandex fiber. Three types of it are more popular as compared to others. These include Spandex, Elastane, and Lycra. Spandex is a trademarked product, meanwhile, elastane is the most common name in Europe, meanwhile, the Lycra is a trademark sign that is owned by the creators of Spandex, the DuPont Corporation.

Elastane is a fabric, and it is also known as Spandex or Lycra. Elastane and Lycra are commonly used in Europe, the UK, Australia, and the Middle East; however, Spandex is commonly used in the North American region.
It is a lightweight, synthetic fibre commonly used to make clothing such as sportswear. Elastane is primarily made up of long-chain polymers called polyurethane, which is present up to 85%. Elastane has an amazing stretching ability, and it also comes back to shape when released. The fibres are strong and versatile, normally lighter than rubber, making them superior.
Production of Elastane
Production of this fibre generally consists of six steps and three phases. Elastane can be made in 4 different ways, and they include melt extrusion and reaction spinning, solution dry spinning, solution wet spinning, and last one is solution drying spinning and solution mixing.
The three phases involved in making this fabric include polymer reaction, fabricating the fibre, and the final processing. Most of the production methods are considered inefficient, which is why dry spinning solution is better and frequently used to produce approximately 95% of the world's elastic supply.
The process starts with producing a polymer that functions as the basis for forming elastane fabric. This step is accomplished by mixing macro-glycol with a diisocyanate monomer in a particular type of vessel.
When the conditions are favourable, these two chemicals interact with each other to form a prepolymer. You should maintain the ratio between these two substances, and this is the most critical step; most commonly, a glycol to diisocyanate ratio of 1:2 is used. After using the dry spinning process, the prepolymer is then reacted with a diamine acid, and this is done by a method known as a chain extension reaction. Later on, this solution is diluted with the solvent making it easy to handle.
Then, it is placed inside a fibre production cell—the cell Spence for producing fibres and covering the elastane material. The mixture is pushed through a spinneret, a device similar to a showerhead and has many tiny holes.
Converting the solution into fibres which are later on heated with nitrogen and solvent gas solution. It is done for performing a chemical reaction that forms liquid polymers into solid strands. They have then collected altogether as they leave the cylindrical spending cell and are compressed also.
Fibres get twisted and converted into different thicknesses and can be used in clothing and other applications. In addition, magnesium stearate or a different polymer is also used to treat the elastic material as a finishing agent. It is mainly done to prevent the fibres from sticking with each other.
Then the fibres are transferred to a spool where they are dyed or woven. Properties of Elastane Important characteristics of this fabric are that it is extremely lightweight, smooth, soft, and that is why it is used in making clothes, particularly sportswear. In closing, this fibre prevents sagging and bagging and is also very scratch-resistant. The fibre is very strong, durable, and more stretchable than rubber.
Elastano
Elastane is very resistant to damage by body oils, lotions, sweat, or detergent, so the outfits are made up of fabric we use for strenuous exercise. The most amazing ability of the fibre is that you can stretch it repeatedly, and it can recoil very easily to the original shape.
You can dye elastane very easily and in different colours of your choice. Elastane is widely used in making athletics sportswear, including swimwear, exercise wear and cycling suits. It is also used for making accessories like belts and gloves, socks and tights. In addition to this, you can also find skinny jeans, shorts, ski pants, and yoga leggings made up of elastane in the market.

In the apparel and garment industry, denim has been a huge attractiveness with excessive capacity that makes use of it a stylish fashion everywhere. Fabrics used for denim are flexible and durable.
Denim marketplace has an awesome marketplace length at the cost of $57,312. Five million and it's far has predicted that the denim marketplace could have an annual boom price of about6.4% as time passes by.
The denim region with the biggest contribution price to the worldwide sales with better foremost merchandise many people of all age groups will be predicted to retain in developing within the destiny jean marketplace.
With a lot of preference, the denim region has to continuously evolve the material homes to fulfill client wishes consisting of flexibility, form preservation, abrasion resistance, as well as snug to put to use in any respect times. High aggressive capacity in this region pushes the agencies to provide possibilities of various fibers; practical yarns use that makes contributions to material homes.
Core Spun Yarn is a type of fabric that is mostly used to create the majority of denim apparel. Core spun yarns are a type of fabric that is typically made by wrapping a staple polyester or cotton wrapper around a non-stop filament package deal of polyester fibers at some point of spinning, then plying those yarns into a stitching thread. The non-stop filament polyester middle makes up about 60% of the thread construction.
Why Use Core-Spun Yarn?
Core spun yarn is one of the finest fabrics out there. There are several superior fabric properties that core-spun yarn possesses, which makes it a perfect fabric to use in denim. These properties include:
High level of tenacity, which means higher strength per length
The strength, size, and other physical characteristics are uniformly distributed.
A better preliminary modulus or resistance to stretching contributing to higher loop formation and decreased seam puckering.
Superior abrasion resistance & durability
Better ply security – less unravel-type thread breaks.
The manufacturing of fabrics like Core-spun yarns is mostly accomplished efficiently through numerous systems used to spin the fabric continuously. Each gadget has its own personal features. The traditional ring spinning, easiest and economic systems; however, the middle positioning within the center is often seen to be a bit on the tough side. Most importantly, in the next technique, strip lower back trouble may also rise, and the middle filaments get tangled up. Nevertheless, the middle positioning may be set appropriately and mostly used to supply the commercial yarns.
Applications of Core-Spun Yarn
There are numerous applications of core-spun yarn. As threads, it can be used in leather products, mattresses, and quilts such as women's shoes, handbags, etc. The immense strength and durability make the core-spun yarn used widely in rice bags too. There are various spinning methods of the core-spun, such as self twist spinning, vortex spinning, electrostatic spinning, ring spinning.
How are Such Yarns Made?
Core Spun Yarn threads are made by spinning 100% Polyester staple fibers into yarns, after which plying those yarns into a stitching thread. Spun Polyester threads are usually made in or three-ply structures relying on the yarn size. As a result, spun polyester threads normally have an awful lot less single give up breaking energy than this particular type of Yarns. Dual core-spun yarn, made with its own twist, is changed into a ring spinning gadget, which changed into the design using a further gear for facilitating each fiber feeding simultaneously. Next, each PET filament is pushed with the aid of using an advantageous feed curler separately. These additives are then made to enter the nip factor through a V-grooved curler, and each time, cotton fibers are passed in such a way that cover up those additives.
The most common approach of core-spun yarn manufacturing is via way of integrating and combining several filament packages in the shape of a ring. A spool of filament opens up on its own to enter into the filament into the tip of the drafting rollers present on the front. This method is mostly used to supply polyester or cotton stitching threads.
To produce yarns that are made stretch-to-match garments, a filament that is elastomeric is passed below. The need for such a filament yarn within the center, including cotton fiber, is broadly utilized in garb applications. Some latest trends encompass the usage of multiple center filaments included via means of cotton.

The holiday season is commonly a really packed social calendar, so what to put on is the pinnacle of mind. With a lot on the agenda, it is a laugh time of 12 months to get a touch playful together along with your non-public fashion.
Jeans, or cotton spandex denim, are arguably one of the most flexible and long-lasting clothes in any wardrobe. They are available in myriad exclusive hues, shapes, sizes, styles – you call it. And even as it's smooth to pair your preferred denim with an image tee for an informal look, identifying the way to get dressed up denim as a way to lead them to ideal for any event takes a touch bit of extra creativity.
Luckily, there are such a lot of road fashion mavens, style bloggers and influencers who've cracked the code for us. So, during our occasional loss of sartorial imagination, we are able to flip to those fashionistas and allow them to encourage us with their effects of cool and conventional ensembles.
Ways to Dress and Style Up with Jeans:
Keep the appearance easy together, along with your preferred snug striped top. Wear snug heels and your preferred clutch. One of the very best approaches to get dressed up a traditional pair of black thin denim and cotton spandex denim is with a sublime blazer. So have a few laughs with it and pick out a sample in place of a strong for a touch little bit of an assertion this season. This is an exceptional manner to boost an easy white tee, too.
The system of a dressy jacket plus tapered-leg light-wash denims is constantly an awesome idea. This appearance is a tasteful nod to the '80s, and we're definitely right here for it. To play up the female factor, strive for a luxe velvet hair bow and knee-excessive boots. Puff-sleeved pinnacle is a laugh manner to feature a bit of aptitude to any cotton spandex denim look. If you've been given a couple of longer denim in your closet, strive to include a puffy sleeve and dependent lower back for a clean and polished ensemble. Add in a few heels or heeled booties for even greater elegant vibes. Slim fit denim may be worn with the entirety from equipped tees to collared shirts and informal suits. Men with longer legs may also discover that slender denim is tighter around their calves or thighs. If that is the case, you could pass up a size – simply make certain to modify the hem and duration accordingly. These also are famous these days, so locating a couple of reasonably-priced denim in slender reduction shouldn't be too hard. Given the extra tailor-made appearance of thin jeans, they're favored for extra clever informal looks. Think thin jean combinations with knitwear, collared shirts, and informal blazers and ties. They also can paint with extra informal portions like an easy tee and bomber jacket. Conclusion: Holidays are the perfect time to socialise with people. When you do so, you wish to look the absolute best. Wearing denim is one of the most comfortable attire one can go for. There are different ways one can style denim wear. Here in this article, We talked about four such ways of designing and styling ourselves while wearing denim. Read More: The 10 Most Comfortable Denim that Offers Overarching Confidence & Energy
Significance of Air Pressure in Air Covered Yarns
Air-covered yarn production incorporates the usage of two different materials, one is elastic and the other is non-elastic. Of the two, the non-elastic yarns are the one that has filament such as polyester, which accounts to enrich the evenness, durability, aesthetics, and functional properties of the fabrics. While for the elastic yarn, lycra is used as a core material. Elastic core yarns usually have greater uniformity in size, strength, and elongation.
These yarns have the advantage of uniformity in length, plus the used fabrics are cover and abrasion-resistant. The higher initial modulus and stretch resistance contribute to a better loop formation, excellent abrasion resistance and durability, which are the added advantages of the air-covered yarn.
Air Covered Yarn can be divided into two categories:
Nylon ACY
Polyester ACY
Yarn manufacturing companies produce air-covered yarn, which is further used to make different types of clothes including comfortable wear such as socks, underwear, and swimwear. Additionally, the air-covered yarns possess significant elasticity and can be designed for knitted, sewed, and woven fabrics depending on the properties.
Air Pressure effect on the yarn production
As mentioned earlier, the production of air-covered yarn leverages an elastic yarn such as lycra and a non-elastic yarn such as polyester. The polyester yarn contains filaments that aid in enriching the abrasion resistance and uniformity in length for the Air covered Yarn. On the other hand, while testing the effects of air pressure on air-covered yarn, elastic core-spun yarns are used and lycra remains the core material of inelastic yarn.
The usual parameters of the air-covering machine are as follows:
Delivery speed- 110 meters/min
Air pressure- 4,6,8 kg/cm2
Elastic draw ratio- 2
Overfeed to jet %- 5
Given that the air pressure is the most crucial aspect of Air Covered Yarn production, there are a few characteristics that are tested for in the air covered yarn:
Denier of air covered yarn
The denier of the air-covered yarn is nothing but the unit of measurement for the linear mass density of used fiber.
The denier of fiber is measured by preparing lea on hank meter and weighing it on weighing pan. This is done by preparing the lea by wrapping the reel for 80 revolutions of a 120 yards long and then the denier calculated.
The pressure is increased from 4kg/cm2 to 8kg/cm2 and it is obvious that the denier of the yarn increases with the increase of the pressure. On the whole, the increase in denier is a consequence of the increase in the bulkiness of the air-covered yarn.
Loop density
The properties of the air-covered yarn are directly associated with the number of loops, thus it is very important to measure the number of loops per 1m of yarn when it's in an ideal state.
It should be noted that the loop density increases with the increase in pressure. This is due to the fact that the height of the loop changes as the air pressure changes, which results in an increased number of loops when the length of the yarn remains the same.
Contents of the components in the yarn
Lycra and polyester are the two components of the air-covered yarn, Hence it's vital to separately calculate the amount of both. It is done by weighing 1m of air-covered yarn. Then, Lycra is separated from the yarn and is being weighed. Now weighing the leftover part gives the weight of the available polyester.
Also, it is usually observed that as the by increasing pressure, the lycra content decreases while the polyester content increases. Hence, it's clear that the percentage of both the components i.e lycra and polyester changes as per the pressure variations.
Concusion
The combination of two or more yarns is used in the usual process of air covering yarn, which results in the formation of yarns having unique characteristics. Air pressure plays a vital role in the formation of these characteristics by the adjusting the air pressure between 4 to 6 and 8 kg/cm2.
By all apperances, the change in the pressure has a notable effect on the air covered yarn's characteristics including loop density, loop stability, denier of the yarn,and the lycra and polyester content. Also, it results in a decrease in the lycra content and loop instability.

Als Meldehund wurde in Deutschland im 20. Jahrhundert ein Hund bezeichnet, der militärische Nachrichten überbrachte. Meldehunde waren Diensthunde. Aufgabe des Meldehundes ist es im Ersten und Zweiten Weltkrieg gewesen, die Verbindung zwischen zwei Posten aufrechtzuerhalten. Die militärischen Nachrichten überbrachte der Meldehund in einer Kapsel, der sogenannten Meldekapsel, die an seinem Hals befestigt war. Auch transportierten Meldehunde in dafür angefertigten Geschirren Brieftauben. Meldehunde wurden zum Überbringen von Nachrichten eingesetzt, weil sie ein kleineres und beweglicheres Ziel darstellten als Meldegänger oder Fahrzeuge. Gleichwohl wurden auch sie beschossen und getötet. Mehr als 30.000 Kriegshunde im Ersten Weltkrieg sind als Meldehunde eingesetzt worden. Vielfach wurden sie auch von Privatpersonen rekrutiert.

Ausbildung
Die Ausbildung der Meldehunde erfolgte auf unterschiedliche Art und Weise. Angesprochen wurden bei dieser der Hör- und der Geruchssinn des Hundes sowie sein Erinnerungsvermögen.

Durch Hin- und Herrufen zwischen zwei Hundeführern lernte der Hund zunächst, kurze Distanzen zu überwinden und sich die jeweilige Strecke einzuprägen. Im Verlauf der Ausbildung wurde die Distanz zwischen den Hundeführern so vergrößert, dass der Meldehund letztendlich Entfernungen von einigen Kilometern überwinden konnte.

Statt mit den Ohren lernte der Hund sich die Meldestrecke auch mit der Nase einzuprägen, indem eine Geruchsfährte mittels einer Tropfkanne ausgelegt wurde, die für ihn eine angenehm riechende Flüssigkeit enthielt. Meldestrecken von bis zu zehn Kilometern konnten dergestalt überwunden werden.

Hunderassen
Eingesetzt als Meldehund wurde der Dobermann. Ebenso der Airedale Terrier. Auch der Deutsche Schäferhund gehörte zu den vorrangig infrage kommenden Hunderassen.

New Street View coverage 2016
Today we are looking at progress made by Street View in 2016. The map below shows not just changes to Street View but also some other changes Google has made to Google maps over the course of the year. Subtle changes in the fonts results in much of the text being highlighted. In some cases labels have been moved or removed or added (usually this just means a change to what zoom level they appear at). There are also changes to the coastline of northern Greenland and more minor changes to coastlines and water bodies worldwide. Google has increased the promotion of user contributed views which resulted in blue dots being shown on the map even when zoomed out. In the past, one could only see them when zoomed in quite a long way. Sadly user contributed views still do not work in Google Earth. The blue dots are shown but you cannot view the imagery.
The map does not track updates to Street View where there was already existing Street View.
Changes to the Street View map over 2016. Blue: previously existing Street View, Red: changes to the map including Street View.
Large version
The main new recipients of Street View were:
Reunion in February
Sri Lanka in March
Kyrgyztan in May
Albania and Montenegro in November
Puerto Rico and US Virgin Islands in December
Bangladesh, Mongolia, the Philippines, Indonesia Thailand, and Bolivia saw significant increases in coverage.

Hi Tim, to help with highlighting just the street view coverage layer changes, try grabbing the tiles using an empty base map. You can make an invisible base map using the style wizard at https://mapstyle.withgoogle.com/
Of course, we'd want the 'difference map' layered back on top of a normal base map for posting! could also be made into KML using a transparent PNG.

As usual per the trend Google focuses on third world nations instead of updating existing ones. 😛
Google is a communist company and has heavily *donated* towards such causes. They are no longer the small company they once were ran by people who care.
I hardly ever use Google anymore.

ARTPOP je treći studijski album američke glazbenice Lady Gage. U prodaju je pušten 6. studenog 2013. godine od strane izdavačke kuće Interscope Records. U prvom tjednu prodaje popeo se na prvo mjesto Billboard Hot 200 ljestvice albuma s 258.000 prodanih primjeraka.

Album je nastajao od 2011. do 2013. godine, tijekom turneje Born This Way Ball, te tijekom Gaginog oporavka nakon operacije kuka u veljači 2013. Tekst pjesama je napisala Lady Gaga, a u produkciji albuma su, osim nje same, najznačajniji DJ White Shadow, Madeon i Zedd.

Album je dobio većinom mješovite i pozitivne kritike.

Singlovi

Dijelovi pjesme "Applause", prvog singla s albuma, procurili su nešto više od tjedan dana prije predviđenog datuma objavljivanja, te je 12. kolovoza 2013. pjesma postavljena na iTunes. Video spot za pjesmu objavljen je 19. kolovoza, snimljen je u Los Angelesu, a režirao ga je fotografski duo Inez van Lamsweerde i Vinoodh Matadin koji je kreirao i omot singla. Pjesma je dosegla Top 5 na Billboard Hot 100 ljestvici, s najvišom pozicijom na 4. mjestu.

Gaga je 9. rujna objavila Twitter anketu u kojoj je obožavatelje zatražila da izaberu drugi singl s albuma, a u izboru su bile pjesme koje je izvela 1. rujna na iTunes Festivalu u Londonu. Iako je pjesma "Sexxx Dreams" skupila najviše glasova, objavljeno je da će drugi singl biti pjesma "Venus" koju je producirala sama Gaga. Kao promotivni singl, 21. listopada objavljena je pjesma "Do What U Want" te je nakon vrlo pozitivnih reakcija publike zamijenila planirani drugi singl. Prije izlaska albuma objavljen je još i promotivni singl "Dope". Video za "Do What U Want" nikada nije objavljen.

Pjesma "G.U.Y." objavljena je kao treći singl s albuma 8. travnja 2014. godine nakon Gagine višemjesečne stanke. Izlasku singla prethodio je kratki film kao umjetnički prikaz razloga Gaginog izbivanja sa scene krajem 2013.

Canada examines aboriginal past
Government panel seeks to shed light on forced education and abuse of aboriginal children.
Canada's Truth and Reconciliation Commission will hold its first national event next month to examine what is now seen as one of the darkest chapters in the country's history.
The government now admits to the cruelty behind its forced education scheme for aboriginal children, a programme it ran for more than 150 years, where the children were often taken from their families at an early age and many were physically and sexually abused.
Al Jazeera's Steve Chao has more.
