Shoprite Supports Female Community Champions
A community in rural Limpopo is celebrating following a partnership that resulted in a fully resourced creche, better equipped carers and good nutrition for preschoolers.
The partnership between Shoprite and Sweet Home Daycare Centre in Xigalo village, Malumelele followed the call made by President Cyril Ramaphosa in his maiden State of the Nation Address to end poverty by educating poor children in early childhood.
Shoprite has and will in the coming months take hands with women heading up early childhood development (ECD) centres in a multi-pronged initiative that includes training for teachers and managers, structural upgrades and access to nutritional meals.
One of these women is Khomi Maluleke. She founded Sweet Home twenty years ago, but faced many challenges maintaining the school, which provides a home away from home, to 109 children under the age of five and employs six people.
Khomi first partnered with Shoprite last September, when Sweet Home was chosen as a beneficiary of the Shoprite Community Network initiative - which meant a once-off R10 000 donation to the school. In line with the retailer's efforts to offer more sustained support to female community champions like her, Sweet Home was selected for a major intervention in which the Shoprite Group drew on the expertise of various implementation partners.
One of these was the Centre for Early Childhood Development (CECD), through which the retail giant was able to offer teacher training not only to carers at Sweet Home, but also their counterparts at seven other schools in the area.
"The building which housed the school was in a sad state of disrepair and without electricity, so with the help of local contractors we plastered and painted the walls, fixed the roof, installed a ceiling and upgraded the office and kitchen." - Rukea Shaik of the Centre for Early Childhood Development.
They were also able to complete an additional classroom Khomi and her governing body had started to build.
Fighting hunger is a central pillar of Shoprite's attempts to transform the communities in which it trades. Thus, for a year, learners at Sweet Home will be provided with a meal from the Lunchbox Fund. A food garden was also planted on the plot to ensure that there is always fresh vegetables available for the children to eat, courtesy of the Group's long-standing partner, Food and Trees for Africa.
We are very happy and grateful to Shoprite and CECD for what they did for our children. Our children will greatly benefit not only from the food and renovations, but also from the educational toys and equipment provided by them." - Khomi Maluleke
Maluleke Thomas, from the local division of the South African National Civic Organisation (SANCO), praised the retailer for the way in which it undertook to bring about change.
"My organisation supports development in this area and welcome this initiative. We need more private companies to assist like this because it cannot be left up to government to do absolutely everything." - Maluleke Thomas
Shoprite is partnering with ECD centres across the country to bring about transformation by enabling the education of the poorest and most vulnerable. Read more of these stories, such as the Ethembeni Edu Care Centre renovations and the intervention at Come one, Come all in Vrygrond.

Q: ROS services are not building properly I am trying to build my custom ROS services. They are inside a another parent package
the structure is as follows:
|--catkine_ws
| |--src
| | |--Parent
| | | |--CMakeLists.txt
| | | |--package.xml
| | | |--ChildA
| | | | |--CMakeLists.txt
| | | | |--package.xml
| | | | |--srv
| | | | | |--SomeService.srv
| | | |--ChildB

The packages are building correctly and I am able to use them in other nodes and packags.
however when I try to use rossrv list the custom services do not appear. I think that this is causing some issues when I try to build my Simulink controller and it cannot find the service message definition.
Does any one have any idea what is going on?

A: I was able to fix the problem, while not obvious, the solution was rather simple. I had to change the slightly change the structure of the package by making the parent package a meta package then do some handling to make sure that the sub packages still had access to the cmakes to locate my external packages.

Time Proved Partnership
IIB Chief economist spoke to the Hungarian weekly Figyelo on Brexit, the bank, the region
IIB chief economist on Brexit, the bank, the region
I am confident that Brexit will be materialized," said chief economist of the Bank (IIB). As for all the consequences for Hungary, the United Kingdom's exit will have a very limited effect, he added. "I am not afraid of worsening British-Hungarian relations. Knowing the current prime minister's sympathy for Hungary, if Boris Johnson stays in his office, I would not be surprised if one of his first trips abroad included a visit to Budapest, " says Elliott Auckland.
We are talking primarily about our region, Central and Eastern Europe (CEE), which is also the focus of NBB's activities, as the bank's owners and founders are mostly regional. Economic recovery in the CEE region has already increased, with the Czech and Slovakian economic growth rates slowing. The Chief Economist considers Hungary's situation stable, with good macroeconomic data, but the development of the German situation will affect Budapest as well as other countries in the region. My question is whether the exodus of Britain and the possible enlargement of the Balkans (Albania and northern Macedonia) could increase the importance of the region - provided that the Balkans are also considered to be part of the Central and Eastern European region - Elliott Auckland does not give a clear answer. But he notes that one consequence of Brexit over the medium term will be increased pressure on non-Eurozone countries to adopt the Euro – Hungary included.
Turning to IIB affairs, my interviewee signalled the decisive process in the bank's life and activities, its shift towards the Central and Eastern European region. In fact, this has been going on since the relaunch of IIB in 2012 and its most important feature is the gradual decline of Russia's role. This was symbolized by the relocation of the Bank's headquarters to Budapest and the continuing decline in the number of Russians among its staff, including staff. The role of the multinational investment bank is increasingly dominating from Moscow. "We are a European bank," says the chief economist.
In support of this, he says that while in 2012, only 11 percent of the bank's loans went to Europe, in 2019 the proportion of Europe (which means the bank's EU member states) increased to 53 percent. (Russia is not Europe in this respect). This year (until November), IIB's largest borrower, with 15% of total loans, is Romania, second with Russia 14%, third with Bulgaria 13%. The structure of the share capital (EUR 340 million), according to which the three largest owners are: 1. Russia 44.2 percent, 2. Hungary 14.7 percent, 3. Bulgaria 12.3 percent. The share of Europe (the EU countries) in this respect is almost identical to the borrowing portfolio, 52.2 percent. This means that, according to bank data, Hungary has so far contributed approximately EUR 50 million to its share capital.
When referring to the bank's relationship with similar financial institutions, Elliott Auckland says without comment that a joint development bank project for a similar institution to the IIB, planned by the Visegrad Four (Hungary, Slovakia, Czech Republic and Poland), has so far been halted. Consequently, IIB is the only multilateral development bank headquartered in the region. So far, the joint Polish-Hungarian project has received support from neither Prague nor Bratislava. IIB's relationship with other banks, as detailed in November 2019 fact sheet received, is determined by regional interests, Europe.
Its business partners include the World Bank , the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), the European Investment Bank (EIB), and the Nordic Investment Bank (NIB). Auckland highlights its relationship with the Black Sea Trade and Development Bank (FTKFB), which is about twice the size of IIB. The BSTDB, chaired by Russian Dmitry Pankin, also has an important relationship with Moscow. IIB is headed by Nikolai Kosov. By size IIB is a small bank. Its business policy is determined by conservatism. This also manifests itself in risk taking. The bank's MPL (Maximum Possible Loss) ratio is only 1.5 percent, far below the average. It has a high capital adequacy ratio. A very conservative level of 35 percent, more than double the required rate. The bank does not accept deposits.
The bank finances 50-60 businesses at a time. The average loan amounts to EUR 17 million. To support small and medium-sized enterprises, loans of EUR 5-10 million will be made to local banks involved in these projects, the chief economist informs. IIB also issues its own bonds in the currencies of its member countries. The average size of the bond issue is EUR 50-100 million. In Hungary, such issues have been made twice so far. Taken as a whole, the balance is set at around 70 percent in euros, but in Vietnam, one of the Member States uses dollar accounting, while in Mongolia, the dollar and the euro are mixed.
As far as Hungary is concerned, IIB is interested in the automotive, telecommunications, energy and agricultural projects. "We are helping to bring economic partners together in the region," Auckland says. Their biggest project at the time is to lend to Russian company, which purchases Czech airplanes (thus support of Czech export operations). About half of the bank's treasury portfolio is tied to green instruments.
Its transactions range from a few tens of millions of euros to several hundred million euros. In downtown Budapest, which occupies one of the floors of a modern office building on Váci Road, there are dozens of people working, but according to the bank's website, they are looking for workforce. They are looking for dozens of positions, from highly qualified English-to-Hungarian, high-level finance and senior staff in building and related matters, to senior executives who deal with the bank's clients. Proficiency in English is a basic requirement, knowledge of Russian or the language of another IIB member is an advantage. All job ads apply to the Hungarian Center. The bank's current resources are approximately EUR 1.4 billion. These are set to expand by a total of € 200 million over the next few years, says the chief economist. Thus, by the end of 2022, the bank's balance sheet total is estimated to be about 1.7 billion euros and its net loan portfolio is 1.2 billion euros. Last year, the Bank's net lending stood at EUR 753 million, rising to EUR 990 million at 21 November this year. Bad loans were down from 75 percent in 2012 to 1.8 percent in 2019. Like financial institutions set up for similar purposes, IIB is not profit-oriented and does not pay dividends. Its profitability is slightly above one percent. During the period 2016-2018, the Bank lent EUR 100 million to Hungarian companies. IIB basically deals with the SME sector. Over the last seven years, EUR 2.3 billion have been invested in the economies of the Member States.
frame: Born in 1992, Elliott Auckland, a British national, graduated from Oxford with a degree in history and economics. In addition to his mother tongue, he speaks Russian and French. He has been with the Bank for four years, and since 2017 has been Chief Economist of IIB, responsible for financial modelling, business planning and ratings. As chief economist, he analyzes and forecasts developments in the Bank's member countries, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Cuba, Mongolia, Vietnam and the Russian Federation. It reviews the Bank's business plan three times a year, assesses the adjustments needed to implement its 2018-2022 strategy, and reviews key financial indicators (such as interbank interest rates) on a global basis. Prepares monthly financial reports on the bank, key indicators (KPIs) and develops tactical recommendations for management. As the bank's chief executive responsible for the systematic rating of international credit rating agencies, he also monitors the views of key rating agencies - while also indicating the likely developments. (The bank briefing notes that there has been eight rating actions in the last three years and none of them negative). Currently IIB is rated A3 stable at Moody's, A- stable at Standard and Poor, BBB + positive at Fitch, and A- stable at Dagong China. IIB's latest bond issue was RON 500 million, or EUR 105 million, on the Bucharest stock exchange in November this year. The bond is a three-year bond with a coupon of 3.98% pa and is rated Moody's A3 stable.
Auckland is a member of almost all important IIB bodies (credit committee, strategy committee, finance committee) and chairs the Economic and Financial Markets Committee. He also frequently participates in investor meetings during the Bank's bond placements and represents the Bank alongside his colleagues twice a year at IMF and World Bank events.
Elliott Auckland is a member of the International Chess Association (FIDE) and is a competitor of the English Chess Association registered at 468592. "Hungary was one of the first countries I played chess in - I like the country and I really like Hungarian duck," he says.

29 May - 23 June 2019
Holland Festival 2019 concludes a legendary edition
The Holland Festival drew to a close last weekend with the Polish director Krystian Lupa's performance The Trial, Gregory Maqoma's Cion; Requiem of Ravel's Bolero and Colin Benders's Electro Symphonic Orchestra. The festival's 72nd edition was its first working with associate artists – this year, William Kentridge and Faustin Linyekula. The spectacular world premiere of aus LICHT was the largest production ever taken on by the Dutch National Opera, Holland Festival, Royal Conservatory The Hague and the Stockhausen-Stiftung für Musik.
A total of 119 performances were staged in 26 days. The festival had more than 76.000 visitors and a seat occupancy of 84%. There were various free events, including Parlement debout in Amsterdam-Zuidoost, The Invisible Exhibition and Vehicle in Frascati theatre and Opera at the Park: Pelléas et Mélisande was screened live at Park Frankendael. And the programme included an extensive context programme, with discussions, debates, films and an exhibition.
The festival collaborated with two associate artists from Sub-Saharan Africa: William Kentridge (South Africa) and Faustin Linyekula (Democratic Republic of Congo). The festival coproduced new work by both artists, in addition to staging existing work and, in consultation with the associates, invited artists associated with them. The opening performance was Kentridge's impressive music theatre production The Head & The Load, about the hundreds of thousands of Africans who were used as bearers in the First World War. His 'ciné-concert' Paper Music was staged, as well as his interpretation of Kurt Schwitters's Ursonate. The Eye Filmmuseum opened Kentridge's exhibition William Kentridge - 10 Drawings for Projection. We staged Linyekula's Not Another Diva ..., a theatrical concert with three strong female performers. His multidisciplinary classic Sur les traces de Dinozord and his new work Congo were also staged. In Amsterdam-Zuidoost, Linyekula staged the theatrical procession Parliament debout with local staff.
The context programme included films, debates and discussions which contextualised the associate artists' work and thinking. The subjects corresponded to the current discussion in the Netherlands about (neo)colonialism, oppression and history writing. In addition, Frascati theatre was Kentridge and Linyekula's 'home' for two weeks, staging work by them and talented, often young artists from either Kentridge's Centre for the Less Good Idea in Johannesburg or Linyekula's Studios Kabako in Kisangani.
The programme also included work by artists connected to the associate artists. Antony and Cleopatra, for example, by Portuguese director Tiago Rodrigues, who, as artistic director of Teatro Nacional D. Maria II, made Linyekula city artist in Lisbon in 2016. The Colombian Mapa Teatro, led by Kentridge's former fellow students, presented Los Incontados: un tríptico. The South African choreographer Gregory Maqoma has worked with both Linyekula and Kentridge. Maqoma's choreography Cion and his solo Beautiful Me, which included choreographic material by Linyekula, could be seen. Maqoma was also a dancer in his own choreography of The Head & The Load.
aus LICHT
This year's most eye-catching world premiere was aus LICHT. 9.226 people visited the Gashouder for three performances of the three-day marathon performance. It featured many highlights from Karlheinz Stockhausen's LICHT opera cycle, more than fifteen hours of live music. Over six hundred people worked on stage and behind the scenes for four years on this once-in-a-lifetime event, co-produced by the Dutch National Opera, the Royal Conservatoire The Hague and the Stockhausen-Stiftung für Musik. aus LICHT was received with great enthusiasm. The New Yorker called it 'one of the great theatre events of this century.'
Striking work
Other work that stood out this year was the Belgian Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker, the Rosas dancers and the B'Rock Orchestra's rendition of The Six Brandenburg Concerts - Bach as it has never been seen and heard before. The Polish director Krystian Lupa was at the Holland Festival for the first time with his Kafka adaptation The Trial. The theatre maker Philippe Quesne made his debut at the festival with his expressive and absurdist Crash Park, la vie d'une île. The controversial Spanish theatre maker Angélica Liddell returned with The Scarlet Letter. The composer Bryce Dessner also returned with the new music theatre performance Triptych about the American photographer Robert Mapplethorpe. Following this performance, Melkweg Expo and Holland Festival organised the powerful exhibition Eyes on Robert, which can be seen until 31 July.
Mitra was oppressive music theatre about an Iranian psychoanalyst's tragic fate. The Iranian composer Aftab Darvishi and the Dutch director Miranda Lakerveld's Turan Dokht was an 'intercultural rewriting' of the classical opera Turandot. The French writer and rapper Abd Al Malik was at the Muziekgebouw with his 'rhythmic rebellion' Le Jeune Noir à l'épée, in which he recounted his childhood and escape from the French banlieues, using texts by Charles Baudelaire and Édouard Glissant.
The Dutch composer Michel van der Aa's virtual reality experience Eight was so popular that the festival doubled the number of time slots to satisfy the overwhelming demand. Eight is one of the ten films shortlisted for the Dutch Film Festival's Golden Calf award in the Best Interactive film 2019 category.
VPRO Audience Favourites
The audience was able to assess performances or concerts using a voting card and the Holland Festival app. The audience favourites were: 1. aus LICHT together with Cion; Requiem of Ravel's Bolero, 2. The Head & The Load, 3. The six Brandenburg Concertos together with Le Jeune Noir à l'épée.
Bill T. Jones (United States, 1952) will be the associate artist for the Holland Festival 2020. The festival's artistic team is going to work with him to compile part of the new festival programme. At this edition the festival bids farewell to general director Annet Lekkerkerker. She will be succeeded by Emily Ansenk on 1 September.

Hear Our Stories
Hear Our Stories empowered participants to make powerful and brief visual narrative, usually focused on a single moment in someone's life. Learn more about this unique way to make a short video.
Watch Carmen's story, and learn what one 20 year old mother thinks about being judged for being a young parent..
Learn more about the lived experiences of expectant and parenting young women.
Young mothers took part as storytellers in a series of creative, hands-on workshops. More than 30 participants produced digital stories — short films that combine still images, video, a voiceover recording, music, sound and text. New understandings produced in "Hear Our Stories" transform public conversations; ultimately, the project is shaping more sensitive public programs and policies focused on young parenting Latinas.
Our team-based sensory ethnography was rooted in digital storytelling workshops and involved participant observation of script writing, story circles, media production and story screening. Data were also generated from interviews with storytellers, an arts-based sexuality program, body mapping, and leadership and training activities in the context of the Women Organizing Across Ages (WOAA) group. Intertextual analysis of the stories as well as textual analysis of interviews and field notes expose structural vulnerabilities as well as everyday practices of being a young parent.
The "Hear Our Stories" project brings together a team of social science researchers, young parenting women, sexual and reproductive justice advocates, and strategic communications experts in order to create alliances for community mobilization, leadership, and policy development. Our project elevates the experiences of young parenting Latinas through digital storytelling, an innovative method to create powerful visual narratives. We showcase the digital stories in the public realm for media and strategic communications purposes.
Welcome to "Hear Our Stories"
"Hear Our Stories" uses new media to amplify young parenting Latinas' voices in larger public conversations. Existing programs and policies focused on these women fail to use relevant local knowledge and rarely involve them in messaging efforts. "Hear Our Stories" aims to transform stigmatizing assumptions about young parenting Latinas through the innovative use of digital storytelling. The ultimate goal of the program is to shift conversations about family making, sexuality, health, and rights across generations.

The definitive biography of Cristiano Ronaldo, named Football Book of the Year at the Cross Sports Book Awards 2016
Fully updated to include the 2017-18 season and Ronaldo's transfer to Juventus
Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the greatest footballers of all time, a dream he pursued from the age of just twelve when he left his humble origins on Madeira behind.
It wasn't long before he had the biggest clubs in Europe knocking on his door, but it was Manchester United who won the race for his signature. Under the tutelage of Sir Alex Ferguson, Ronaldo developed into the complete footballer and athlete, winning three league titles and a Champions League along the way.
He then became the biggest galáctico of them all when he transferred to Real Madrid for a record-breaking fee. Unprecedented success in the Champions League and a record-equalling five Ballons d'Or followed, before his sensational move to Juventus in the summer of 2018.
Guillem Balagué, respected football journalist and expert on the Spanish game, provides the definitive account of a twenty-first-century footballing icon.

Unearthing the Dead
By Lisa Helton
In Blog, Litigation and Dispute Resolution
Unearthing the Dead2020-02-062020-02-07/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/srvh_color.pngSRVH Lawhttps://srvhlaw.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/blog_helton_gravesite_pic.jpg200px200px
You never know what – or who – lies beneath the surface. Imagine you are engaged in construction, landscaping, or some other improvement to real property, and suddenly you make a grim discovery. You have unknowingly stumbled upon an unmarked grave with human remains. The following is an overview of the laws in Tennessee regarding your obligations after accidently disturbing a gravesite and the emphasis in Tennessee on treatment of the dead with the respect and dignity that they deserve.
The first thing you need to do is STOP. Once you realize the nature of your discovery, you suddenly have several important legal duties that you must fulfill or face potential criminal penalties. With some exceptions for farming and surface collecting activity, Tenn. Code Ann. § 11-6-107(d) requires parties who encounter or accidently disturb human remains to immediately cease disturbing the ground and contact the state coroner or medical examiner and local law enforcement. Failure to comply with these requirements is a Class A misdemeanor. Tenn. Code Ann. § 11-6-107(d)(5). Either the coroner or the medical examiner must examine the find and, within five working days, determine whether the site merits further investigation. If the coroner or the medical examiner and law enforcement have no forensic or criminal concerns with regard to the site, then the coroner or the medical examiner shall notify the Tennessee Division of Archeology.
So you've notified the proper persons, and there are no forensic or criminal concerns. What now? Tenn. Code Ann. § 11-6-119 imposes with some exceptions a duty to rebury the remains within six months of the discovery and details the manner in which the remains must be reburied, providing for scientific analysis of the remains. Tenn. Code Ann. § 11-6-104 discusses the treatment of artifacts recovered at the gravesite, stating that these objects may become the property of the state of Tennessee and placed under the custodianship of the Division of Archeology. These statutes apply to the inadvertent unearthing of human remains per Tenn. Code Ann. § 11-6-107(d)(4).
The difficulty comes when you find it necessary to relocate the gravesite, such as if the graves are discovered during the construction of a residential neighborhood, and you had planned to build at or near where the remains are located.
The difficulty comes when you find it necessary to relocate the gravesite, such as if the graves are discovered during the construction of a residential neighborhood, and you had planned to build at or near where the remains are located. Tennessee has a set of statutes outlining the procedure for termination of a site as a burial ground. Tenn. Code Ann. § 46-4-101 to -104. Either the owner of the real property where the grave was discovered, certain governmental entities, or any other interested person may bring the petition in the chancery court in the county where the grave is situated. Tenn. Code Ann. § 46-4-103(a).
Tenn. Code Ann. §§ 46-4-102, -103(b) and relevant case require the petitioner to make reasonable efforts to locate potential interested persons. "Interested persons" is defined in Tenn. Code Ann. § 46-4-102 to include the nearest relative(s) of the decedents. From a practice standpoint, genealogy websites can come in handy for this task. Tenn. Code Ann. § 46-4-103(b) provides that known defendants who are minors or otherwise incompetent or under disability shall be represented by a guardian ad litem. If the petitioner cannot locate the interested persons, then the petitioner may notify unknown defendants by publication. Tenn. Code Ann. § 46-4-103(b). Effective 2018, Tenn. Code Ann. § 46-4-103(c) contains provisions requiring notice to the Tennessee Historical Commission.
To be successful, the petitioner in such an action must show to the court that the burial ground is no longer suited or proper for use as a gravesite: (1) because the burial ground is abandoned; (2) because the burial ground is in a neglected or abandoned condition; or (3) because of the existence of any conditions or activities about or near the burial ground that the court finds render the further use of the burial ground inconsistent with due and proper reverence or respect for the memory of the dead, or for any other reason unsuitable for those purposes. Tenn. Code Ann. § 46-4-101.
As part of the petition, the petitioner must have a plan in place for relocating and reburying the decedents. The petitioner must show to the court's satisfaction that the removal and reburial of all the remains will be done with due care and decency and that suitable memorial or memorials will be erected at the place of reburial. Tenn. Code Ann. § 46-4-104. From personal experience, the court may want to know such details as what type of marker will be placed at the new gravesite and the permanency of the memorial, such that the grave is not lost again in the future.
Some of the above discussion varies depending upon whether the grave discovered contains Native American remains or artifacts. For a detailed discussion of rules applicable in such a situation, see State ex rel. Comm'r of Transp. v. Eagle, 63 S.W.3d 734, 743 (Tenn. Ct. App. 2001).

Hubballi, 18 Aug 2017: RSS Sarasanghachalak Dr Mohan Bhagwat paid tributes to Usha Tayi Chati at Shraddhanjali Sabha held at Samiti Karyalaya, Hubballi, Karnataka today.
Rashtra Sevika Samiti's former (3rd) Pramukh Sanchalika Vandaniya Ushataiji Chati left her body peacefully yesterday morning at Devi Ahalya Mandir (Samiti Karyalaya) Nagpur. She was 91 years old.
Pujaniya Mohanji Bhagwat –Sarasanghachalak, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh paid his final homage to her today at Matrumandir (Samiti Karyalaya) Hubballi-Karnataka.
While refreshing the old memories with her Mohanji mentioned that Ushataiji always inspired all Sangh and Samiti karyakartas with her attitude and determination. She was the woman of firm words and always made it a point to deliver on a particular task. Her smiling face in any and all situations was an inspiration to everyone. He termed her as 'Atmavilopi Vyaktitva!' He further said that Ushataiji always would spread zeal wherever she went and now there would a void. It is our duty in Sangh and Samiti to fill in the void by learning and practicing her virtues.
Pujaniya Mohanji planted a tree in the premises of Matru-Mandir in divine memory of Vandaniya Ushataiji.
« Ushatai Chati, former Pramukha Sanchalika, Rashtra Sevika Samiti no more.

You're in the market for developing a new real estate website. You realize a professional, modern website provides a critical first impression to many of your prospective investors, tenants, and industry contacts, but you don't know exactly where to turn for the project.
With the multitude of agencies, self-service tools and freelancers, there are enough options to make your head spin.
To assist with this quandary, consider the following 10 questions as you move forward to select a real estate web design agency for your next project.
It's paramount to know what you're getting into and what you are paying for, ultimately.
While a developer may have a lot of talent and ability to create your perfect website, they may lack the experience to see the project through to the finish line. Experience, especially "diverse experience", provides lessons that are not illustrated on any chalkboard or in any books. It's one of the few things money can't by directly.
There are always unique situations that arise for any website project. A developer who has "been there and done that" will be able to face the challenge and provide expertise to overcome issues, as they see the project holistically and understand all of the specific details and moving parts involved in manifesting the entire image.
You are not just buying a website, you are purchasing a service, and with it a lasting relationship with the people who are creating your digital presence.
2) What expertise do you have in our industry?
Commercial real estate (or residential real estate) is an intricate industry with a unique lexicon, themes, and pain points. A company with CRE experience possesses the ability to speak in the vernacular and understand your specific challenges.
Qualifying the particular experience of a digital marketing agency will most likely save you time and frustrations in the long run, as they will already have a clear understanding for what you want to achieve and what your clients (investors, tenants, brokers) expect.
Of course, every project has its nuances, but it is one less thing to worry about when communicating the specifics of your company and/ or property website.
3) Do your designers and developers work in-house?
This is a very important element to clarify. Why? Because if a marketing company has to constantly communicate with another external source in order to get something done, then you are increasing the likelihood of something getting lost from point-A to point-B, even if it's a simple change.
It's akin to the telephone game we all played in grade school. The message starts out the same, more or less, then eventually evolves to something totally different by the end of the line.
Finding a company with in-house developers and designers will limit the confusion when generating your website. It's more efficient and effective to have all of the moving parts under one roof.
There's also that intangible factor of synergy. A company with an in-house team has chemistry, and a collective empathy for what must be done. This chemistry only comes with working together over time.
4) What else can you offer besides web development?
Your prospective web agency can create a website that is exactly what you want, and they can do it within your budget, what then? Can they provide effective marketing solutions to generate the traffic the website merits? Do they have the means, or knowhow, of measuring those metrics and providing consultation for how to best navigate the ever-changing waters of the Internet?
It's essential to find a company that is well versed in SEO, for starters. If a property webpage for vacant space is optimized with SEO, the property has a better chance of being found by tenants and/ or investors. Additionally, if the company has digital marketing experience, they can also help tailor custom Google AdWords campaigns to use keywords and attract potential customers efficiently.
Furthermore, if you're investing in those campaigns, hopefully they are showing you the results of those dollars. A digital marketing firm that generates SEO and marketing reports will show you where your dollars are going, why your dollars are going there, and what the outcome of your investment is. They also will be able to tweak and alter the campaigns to perform better and better, ideally.
You don't want a commodity, you want a strategist that can provide you advice and offer a full breadth of capabilities.
5) Who manages technical issues?
This is similar to question #3. Are issues resolved by the team that you now know through building this professional relationship? Or are you subjected to call an 800 number only to be put on hold and transferred 10 times to finally get that comma in paragraph 3 of the Home page changed to a period?
It's not pessimistic, but rather realistic to say that issues will arise. It's the complex nature of technology; there are kinks and unpredictable elements that present themselves. It's all a matter of having experts readily available to tackle them effectively.
This is part of the relationship you build throughout this process. It's essential to look for a team of experts who have your back when duty calls, even if it's something as simple as changing a comma to a period.
6) How can I make updates to the content?
Say you just want to make a simple change to the website's content. Do you have to go through gatekeepers in order to edit your own site?
Hopefully, the company you choose will not only build your site with a user-friendly CMS (Content Management System) such as WordPress, Drupal, etc., but also provides the guidance for you to make your own changes if need be.
You want to have full autonomy to make rapid and easy updates to your site without delay or frustration. If you're dealing with roadblocks to make simple changes, you may miss an opportunity to add salient content right away or make updates that are vital to your business.
Make sure you at least have some control to do so, without the overwhelming responsibility of taking down the site somehow with an erroneous edit.
Both are more than attainable if you choose the right company using the right tools for your website.
7) Can you walk me through the development process?
Web development shouldn't feel like you're at a magic show. You see the results, but you have no idea how they got there.
Make sure the process is transparent and illustrated, so you know exactly what's going into the page and how it is getting there from start to finish.
This adds to the idea of building a relationship. One that is honest and clear will lead to a healthy, more fruitful product for both parties. Yes, you should feel confident and comfortable with the fact that they are the experts and they will manifest what you envisioned, but don't be afraid to inquire about the process.
8) Can you provide examples of previous work?
The company you are investigating has the experience, the knowledge, and the services you're looking for, or so they say.
Do they have proof of the pudding? Do they have prior real estate websites they can send over, so you can do a proper inspection and know what you're going to purchase?
This couldn't be stressed enough, make sure they show you what they can do. Don't just trust the words, as much as they seem to line up with your needs.
Additionally, this will help you see exactly how your property or company website will look and feel. You can tangibly visualize the end result, and that will hopefully be an incredible professional, clean, modern website that perfectly represents you and your real estate brand.
9) Do you work with templates or will you build us a custom site?
Take note: if the site builder is using templates, then an important question to ask is, "how many other companies are using the same one?" If your website is the carbon copy of many other sites online, then it will surely get lost in the fray. While the logo and other elements will be true to your brand and unique, the structure of the site (and the fact that many others are using it) will limit the potential of your site and ultimately the potential of your brand.
On the flip side, if the site is custom and built from scratch, the site will be tailored and optimized for you. If you're hiring a company that not only has experience in real estate websites, but also offers digital marketing and understands SEO, then the site will be specifically designed to attract your ideal tenants, investors, and buyers from the very first line of coding to the finishing touches.
It's all a matter of what your priorities are. Having a website custom-made for you will probably cost more, but in the long run, your final product will very much represent exactly what you want and be an original website in an Internet filled with copy/ paste websites.
You deserve to stand out among the digital crowd.
10) How do you base your pricing? What about additional work?
Lastly, but certainly not least, comes the cost of the website. How much is this website going to weigh on your overhead?
Does the company you're researching have a basis for what they charge? Cost per hour of development? Cost per project, regardless of additional items? If issues or unforeseeable elements arises or customization is needed to the property site, what can you expect as a bill for the time spent?
All of this is important to the bottom line. In fact, it may be the single most important factor in this procedure. You are willing to spend X-amount in order to accomplish this goal. It's what you are getting in return that will make it worthwhile.
That is why these questions are so important to illustrate when you're in the market for a commercial real estate website.
Remember this: your website is an investment, and if done right, you will see the returns. Whether it is attracting more serious investors, better quality tenants, or more viable buyers, the efforts you put into the process will pay out eventually.
Find a company that not only has the creativity and experience to get the website done, but a professional with the right depth of experience with whom you'd like to have a lasting relationship.


This week I was challenged to create five new versions of some of my images in black and white (it's called: "the five day black and white challenge" on Google+). Regular readers here know that a huge percentage of my images feature color and to take part in a black and white challenge was a lot of fun for me.
If you'd like to find out more about my black and white conversions (and this shot of Sumatran Tiger, Sukacita) then be sure to keep reading after the jump.
I love looking at really well done black and white photography. I've been to plenty of gallery exhibitions and what I see always blows me away.
It's not that I don't know how to do them – it's just a different way of thinking for me. I've been shooting a very long time and that includes using film. Back in those days I saw a scene based on the film that was loaded (and the filters on my lens). Today is a bit different since almost every digital camera is capturing full color images. To create a black and white image requires a conversion but removing color isn't always enough to make a really great looking black and white shot.
Without the advantage of color you need to work a bit harder to control how a viewer looks at your image. By selectively darkening and lightening a shot (also called "dodging and burning") you can create amazing contrast that is the hallmark of good black and white images.
But controlling the brightness and darkness of a shot isn't the only way to direct a viewers eye. Sharpness and blur are also powerful tools for a black and white photographer. In both my color and colorless shots I use all the tools available to me in an effort to achieve my final image.
In the case of my shot of Sumatran Tiger, Sukacita, I began with a basic black and white conversion using Photoshop. My tool of choice with this shot was the gradient map adjustment layer. This adjustment layer is a powerful way to get a black and white shot with great contrast in a single click.
With the color removed I use three curves adjustment layers (one for dodging, one for burning and one for contrast). Once I have the brightness, darkness, and contrast worked out I then add sharpness to important parts of the image and I apply a little blur to the edges and the background. The end result should be a shot with eye catching contrast – both in brightness as well as sharpness.
That's all for now. Be sure to check back next week for another Featured Image of the Week!

Q: How did this formula use convexity and parallelogram law? Given a closed convex subset $M$ of a Hilbert space $H$, let $x \in H$ be a point s.t. it is not in $M$, i.e. $x \not \in M$.
Let $d = \text{inf}_{y \in M}||x-y||$, where $||.||$ is the inner product and $d$ is the smallest distance from $x$ to the unique point $y$ in $M$..
The text am reading says that there is a sequence of vectors $y_n \in M$ s.t. $||x-y_n|| \rightarrow d$.
Now, it says that using the convexity of $M$ and the parallelogram law, we can show that $y_n$ is a Cauchy sequence, i.e.
$$
||y_n-y_m||^2 = 2||y_n-x||^2 + 2||y_m-x||^2 - ||(y_n+y_m)-2x||^2 \rightarrow 0 \quad \text{as $n,m \rightarrow \infty$}
$$
But I could not figure out how the above formula was derived....
how does one apply (1) convexity of $M$ and (2) the parallelogram law to get this formula?

A: The parallelogram law is $$
2||x||^2 + 2||y||^2 =
||x+y||^2 + ||x-y||^2.$$
So
$$
2||y_n-x||^2 + 2||y_m-x||^2 = ||(y_n+y_m)-2x||^2+||y_n-y_m||^2.$$


Pack your bags for flight attendant school.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is the government agency responsible for overseeing and regulating civil aviation matters. The FAA requires flight attendants to undergo proper training to efficiently and safely manage an aircraft cabin. The FAA defines a flight attendant as an individual who works in a cabin with 20 or more seats. If the aircraft has less than 20 seats, the FAA does not consider you a flight attendant, though you can still attend flight attendant school.
Attend the flight attendant training program offered by the airline. This program is approved by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). You'll learn about flight attendant duties and responsibilities, aviation terminology, aircraft systems and exits, medical emergencies, security, weather conditions/turbulence, fire fighting and evacuation procedures.
Attend private flight attendant school. There are numerous schools available. Be sure the school you choose is approved and recognized by the FAA.
Research each flight attendant school to choose the best one for you. Consider the cost of tuition and whether tuition assistance is available. Determine whether job placement services are offered.
Apply for your "flight attendant certificate of demonstrated proficiency" after finishing school and joining an airline. The application is submitted by the airline administrator. All flight attendants are required to have this credential before working aboard aircraft.

Sept 26, 2015 Tomorrow evening is the last eclipse of the blood moon tetrad. Is it the last warning before the start of the Apocalypse?
We are at the end of the month of September, a month that started the Jubilee year on Yom Kippur and ended the Shemitah year on 9/13. Tomorrow on the feast of Sukkot or Tabernacles that start at dusk can it portent the start of the Apocalypse by the signing of the seven year covenant described by the prophet Daniel 9: 27 as the UN discusses the Palestinian state and the division of Jerusalem? Is the chapter and verse of the prophet Daniel a prophetic clue 9/27 as to the month and day this covenant will be signed? Will the blood moon eclipse that will happen also on this day also point to the covenant that will start the Apocalypse?
Is that the reason the Pope has been on the constant screen shown on our television screens since his meeting with Obama?
Is the Antichrist Barack Hussein Obama meeting his supporting cast during the Apocalypse, the Pope in the role of the False Prophet?
Well I believe the answer to all of the above questions is a resounding yes. The article by Mr. Paul Grevas a devout Christian and retired statistician brings the above points as well and I also agree with him. The web site presents magnificent charts that explain the tetrad of BBM (Biblical Blood Moons) and their prophetic significance in God's plan and the restoration of Israel as the nation where He will establish the throne for His Kingdom rule at the end of seven years from tomorrow on the Sukkot of 2022 at His return to earth. Is the Chapter 22 of the book of Revelation also point to the year of His return?
Rev 22:3 states: 3No longer will there be any curse. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city, and his servants will serve him. The city referred here is Jerusalem!
Thanks to Mr. Mark Biltz who discovered the significance of the tetrads and Mr. Paul Grevas who has done and excellent job of doing charts and articles about them.
VIA MEGA SPEC, RAPTURE could LIKELY be this THURS, OCT 1 (LIBRA 11…..'judg/judg').
Jesus attended Succoth at MID Succoth (Tishrei 18), John 7:9.
Mid trib (1260 days past RAPTURE) is NISAN 10, 2019….a.c. 'rises' w/ intent to initiate the NEW WORLD SATANIC ORDER matching the great ENTRANCE of Messiah on Palm Sunday.
RETURN is VIRGO 1, 2022 (Mon, Aug 22) minus the tilt is AV 9, earth straight.
RETURN plus 75 days is SCORPIO 15, TRIB END, the new, Millen TISH 15 & OCT 15.
The 2300 days Temple Desecration span NISAN 10, 2016 (Apr 18) to AV 9, 2022 (Aug 5-6).
At the RETURN, the earth 'loses' 21 days……back to Aug 5-6 (AV 9)..
The 7 mths (moons, 7 x 28 = 196) burying spans TISHREI 21, 2015 (Oct 4…..Ezek 38 Divine Victory) to NISAN 10, 2016.
The 2550 days (2520 + 30) span LIBRA 8 (Signing?), TISH 15, 2015 (Blood Moon) to LIBRA 1, 2022, the ISA 63 Temple Entrance.
EVERYTHING matches a THUR, OCT 1, TISHREI 18 RAPTURE, but NOT after!
To clarify, earth will take 3 days to straighten, thus the AUG 22 RETURN minus 20 days PLUS 3 days is AUG 5-6, AV 9.
Well, the entire trib according to the above spec scenario spans SEPT 28, 2015 (Tish 15 possible SIGNING/Blood Moon) to trib end at TISHREI 22 (Oct 18, 2022)……………….WITH the tilt minus considered.
RAPTURE: likely SUNDAY, OCT 4, 2015 ….??
RETURN at SUN, Aug 28, 2022 (Elul 1) minus the 23-day tilt loss is AV 9 (Aug 6)…..earth STRAIGHT ("FAST DAY to JOY"…..Zech 8:19). Av 9 is Israel's worst FAST DAY w/ 9 horrific catastrophes in Jewish history.
AV 9, 2022 (Aug 6) is exactly 2300 days (+3 mid trib/uncounted) past PASSOVER 2016 (Apr 22, 2016….Lamb Slain). Thus the start of the 2300 days 3rd Temple Desecration (Dan 8:13-14) is the slaying of the Passover Lamb on NISAN 14, 2016 (Apr 22). If applic, Apr 22 is also TAURUS 1 (anger of BULL/Deut 33:17)…..spec.
AV 9, 2022 (earth straight) +75 days (30 mourning/45 judg Nations) is TRIB END at Oct 22, 2022, the new TISHREI 22 via the perfect/Millennial calendar….8th /Last day Succoth (Lev 23:39).
RAPTURE (same day as SIGNING) is likely SUNDAY, TISHREI 21 (7,7,777) & LIBRA 14 (7,7)……Oct 4……..7th month, 7th Feast, 7 days long, 21st (777) day……the GREAT HOSHANA RABAH. Jesus said that the Jews would SEE Him again when they AGAIN shout HOSHANA…..and this day may possibly pertain to that verse.
Rapture and Signing is likely the SAME DAY because the trib span til the RETURN is 2520 days……divided into two 1260's.
All Biblical main events related to perfection (Creation) and Christians occurred on a SUNDAY (Creation, Creation count start 7 days later, Palm Sunday, Resurrection Sunday, Pentecost, and probably the RAPTURE).
TRIB END at OCT 22, 2022 is the 'NEW/MILLEN' TISHREI 22 (8th Day Succoth) because Oct 22 WILL BE TISH 22 and SCORPIO 22 in the MILLEN…..all in sync. April 1 will be Nisan l and Taurus 1 and Oct 1 will be Tishrei 1 & Scorpio 1.
RAPTURE is the ACTUAL TISHREI 21, Oct 4, 2015 (Hoshana Rabah 7th Day Succoth) and trib end is the NEW TISHREI 22 when all is adjusted…………….ONE DAY……"DAY of the LORD"….?……a difference of 'ONE DAY' separated by 7 Jewish yrs (workable since there is a II Adar in the span as well).
The NISAN 14 PASSOVER 2016 start of 3rd Temple Desecration (Apr 22, 2016) is exactly 7 months burying (7 'moons'…..196 days….7 x 28) past Oct 9, 2015, the possible EZEK 38 Divine Victory in Israel…..spec.
Interestingly OCT 9, 2015 is TISHREI 26 and the trib end (when all is adjusted) is also TISHREI 26 (Oct 22, 2022). That 'may' be the 7-yr span of FUEL USE mentioned in EZEK 39:9…….TISH 26 to TISH 26…..interesting as well.
At the RAPTURE there will be world chaos + the Northern Invasion of Israel (spanning Oct 4-9)….w/ the Ezek 38 Victory in Israel's mts.
MID TRIB (a.c. breaks covenant/Abom Desol/a.c. killed) is 1260 days past Oct 4 Signing/Rapture……..SUNDAY, II ADAR 10; and 3 days later when a.c. satanically rises is Wed, II ADAR 13 (March 20, 2019)…….Esther 3:13 (notice the 13's)……………the same day Haman planned to kill all of Persia's Jews, but foiled by Esther's revelation. So Satan enters the 'risen' a.c. on the same day that the pogrom was planned…..perhaps applic. II ADAR 14 was PURIM, the VICTORY over Haman's evil plan.
Know that TISHREI 21 is the greatest day of the Hebrew Calendar….Hoshana Rabah……celebration of Yom Kip forgiveness and the completion (ancient) of the 70 animal sacrifices of days 1 through 6 of Succoth.
TISHREI 22 was Jesus' Circumcision day when He was 8 days old (blood clots as prothrombin/Vit K is released) and is the great LAST/EIGHTH DAY of SUCCOTH (Lev 23:39)…..the close of the entire calendar. Jesus' B-Day was TISH 15 (1st Day Succoth).
When the earth is straight, months will again be 30 days each. So the RETURN at ELUL 1, 2022 (Aug 28/SUNDAY) plus 30 days (perfect mth) will be TISHREI 1 (ROSH), the Isaiah 63 Temple Entrance (w/out the -23 considered).
SURE looks like this SUNDAY!!!!!
1-yr warning before catastrophe (as trib start) = Jerem 51:46…..Oct 4, 2014 (Yom Kippur) to Oct 4, 2015….. one perfect solar yr.
On the climax of SUCCOTH, the great Hoshana Rabah, Tishrei 21, while all of the following activities were occurring, Jesus shouted, "If any man thirst, let him COME UNTO ME & drink"….and note Rev 4:1….."COME UP HERE" as John saw an open door.
One more interesting fact (if applic): OCT 4 was Rosh Hashana of Jesus' Birth year because 14 days later on OCT 18 was His B-Day which was 280 days past Jan 12 (really Dec 31), the anniv of the 8th day of Creation. Creation (8th Feast) was KISLEV 24 and the 8th Day was TEVET 1 (8th day of 8th Feast)…..then +280 days gestation was TISHREI 15…..TABERNACLES, Jesus' Birthday. This is the case due to the 12-day calendar error (1500's/Pope…..to 'balance' the Mazzarot w/ each month). Thus each Mazzarot sign presently begins on the 21-23rd day of each month…………….and when the earth straightens, losing 23 days, the earth will enter each Mazzarot sign on the 1st of each month.
Know that all 8 Feasts were fulfilled by Jesus; and the 8th Feast (Hanukkah/Temple Dedic today) was His Conception (TEVET 1, 8th day of 8th Feast) because +280 days is TABERNACLES, His Birthday.


This image displays plant 1.1-1.2 m tall.
Photinia Fraseri Little Red Robin is a small evergreen shrub that is similar to its better known big brother Photinia Fraseri Red Robin, except that Little Red Robin is a smaller, more compact, dwarf version and also has smaller, more rounded foliage. Apart from this, it has all the winning features of the very popular full sized Red Robin plant - glossy dark green leaves that are a vibrant bright-red when young. It produces small white flowers in spring and fruits in late summer. Over time, Photinia Fraseri Little Red Robin will reach a maximum height and spread of circa 1 metre, so it is never going to get overly large.
A recently introduced dwarf cultivar, Photinia Fraseri Little Red Robin is a lot slower growing than the popular Red Robin but it more than makes up for this as it has even more vibrant red foliage from spring to autumn and has a denser growth habit.
Little Red Robin is very easy to maintain and will only need a light clip once or twice a year. Plant in full sun or partial shade.
Use Photinia Fraseri Little Red Robin for growing a low hedge that will provide year-round interest in the garden. Little Red Robin is also ideal for beds and borders as a compact shrub in smaller gardens and also will grow well in containers.
Photinia Fraseri Little Red Robin is also available as in tree form.

Jeff Heuerman progressing in knee recovery
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. —** About seven weeks after suffering a torn ACL, Jeff Heuerman is making big strides every day.
"I wouldn't call them big strides," he said with a laugh on Thursday, "not literally, because they're actually pretty small strides—but I'm making progress."
OK, well, every day Heuerman is making bigger strides.
"Each day's a bigger step, which it kind of sounds corny and it kind of sounds like I'm just saying that, but it really is," Heuerman said.
He said he started walking about a week ago and expects to be able to get back in the weight room with the training staff in a week. Each step, large and small — every bit of physical progress has him thrilled.
Draft pick Jeff Heuerman's first day as a Bronco
Broncos third-round pick TE Jeff Heuerman arrived at Dove Valley for his first day as a Bronco.
"I'm getting my flexion back in my knee, bending it — getting a few degrees each day is exciting," Heuerman said. "That's kind of what I look forward to now is getting those few degrees in my knee and being able to walk and not limp."
Early in May during the Broncos' rookie minicamp, Heuerman was running a route and when he made a cut, his knee gave out. "I didn't know how bad it was, but I knew it wasn't good. I knew I wouldn't just get up and walk away," he said.
Such an injury so early in his career is difficult blow. And for Heuerman—who was a talented hockey prospect in his youth and who said "I'm playing until I can't move ... Until I can't do my job to the best of my ability, that's when we'll call it" after an injury before Ohio State's National Championship game—this is one injury he can't play through with gritted teeth.
But Heuerman remains upbeat because he has the benefit of time on his side, and he knows there's no pressure on him.
"I'm not pressed for time," he said. "I've got a full calendar year until I've got to be back ready to go, which is good. I can get rehabbed right and not have to rush anything."
Patience isn't exactly Heuerman's strong suit, he'll admit, but that's because he knows too much of it can lead to complacency. However, that's not an issue for him right now. There's no timetable in his mind and he can just focus on finding the best pace to rehab.
Prospect History: Jeff Heuerman
Take a look back at TE Jeff Heuerman's collegiate career at Ohio State.

Though the injury cut short the physical process of learning the offense, Heuerman was still with his teammates in the few weeks before his surgery. "I was here that whole time in meetings learning everything and if you want to take a positive out of the situation, that's one of the things you can do: sit back, learn the playbook for a year, learn everything and go from there," he said.
So since then he's been doing that and watching film of tight ends, and naturally that includes a lot of tape of Owen Daniels' work in Head Coach Gary Kubiak's offense over the past decade.
He's also been able to get advice from his teammates, some who have gone through the same recovery process that he's beginning. And there's also a veteran in Ryan Clady who's right there with him in rehab.
Last year Chris Harris Jr. and Von Miller went through the same process and said that their simultaneous rehab pushed one another, and Heuerman has been following Clady closely because he knows there's few people better to learn from than a multiple-time All-Pro and Pro Bowler.
"He's in there every day with me and I definitely take notice and pay attention to how he handles it because there's no one better to follow recovering from an ACL than an All-Pro," Heuerman said. "He's going to know how to do it, he's going to know how to go about it like an All-Pro and get himself back to being an All-Pro. I definitely take notes and watch and learn from him. That's been really beneficial."
The path will be long and it won't be easy, but Jeff Heuerman is clearly taking the right steps to a strong return.

Q: Mac OS X: how to open vim in terminal when double click on a file I have defined my own custom vim file type with highlighting etc.  I would like to open it using the terminal based vim when I double click on it.  I am using mac os x.  Any pointers on how to start on this?

A: Create an Automator Application to run the following applescript:
on run {input}
   set the_path to POSIX path of input
   set cmd to "vim " & quoted form of the_path
   tell application "System Events" to set terminalIsRunning to exists application process "Terminal"
   tell application "Terminal"
      activate
      if terminalIsRunning is true then
         do script with command cmd
      else
         do script with command cmd in window 1
      end if
   end tell
end run

Save the automator application. (eg. name it Vim Launcher)
Right click (or control-click) on your custom vim-type file (eg. use .vim as the extension) and under Open With… choose the bottom option Other… and find your Automator Application (eg. Vim Launcher), double-click it.
Boom.

A: From the five or so minutes I spent playing with it to see if it would I couldn't find a built -in option to do so.
However, you can probably write a simple Applescript that will take the files absolute path and then run vim {path} in a bash shell.

A: set the_path to POSIX path of input
   set cmd to "vim " & quoted form of the_path & "; exit"
   tell application "System Events" to set terminalIsRunning to exists application process "Terminal"
   tell application "Terminal"
      if terminalIsRunning is true then
         do script with command cmd
      else
         do script with command cmd in window 1
      end if
      activate
   end tell
end run

I use this AppleScript instead. It activates Terminal.app after (not before!) execution to stop things from acting odd when using Spaces. It also closes the window after Vim exits. Just set Terminal.app to close after clean exits.

A: I just wanted to add a comment to the accepted answer with the code changes needed to make it work in Yosemite, but since I don't have sufficient reputation couldn't add a comment, and hence attempting to reply via an answer.
The "Open File in Terminal from Finder" script was working fine in Mavericks, but it stopped working after the upgrade to Yosemite. In Yosemite, the code in the accepted answer would work only the first time - meaning when I double click the first file in the Finder, it opens fine, but when I click the subsequent files, they would just open blank new terminal windows (vim won't open) with command prompt.
After going through multiple sites, cobbled together a version that works just fine. I am sure there is a better way to do it, but I have no experience with Applescript and so will leave it to others to suggest any improvements.
on run {input}
    set the_path to POSIX path of input
    -- set cmd to "vim " & quoted form of the_path
    -- we can do a change directory to make NerdTree happy
    set cmd to "clear;cd `dirname " & the_path & "`;vim " & quoted form of the_path & "; exit"

    tell application "System Events" to set terminalIsRunning to exists application process "Terminal"
    tell application "Terminal"
        if terminalIsRunning is true then
            -- CHANGED code starts --
            set newWnd to do script with command cmd
            do script with command cmd in newWnd
            -- CHANGED code ends --
        else
            do script with command cmd in window 1
        end if
        activate
    end tell
end run

I'm a Black Dad. I Fear for My Kids. But I Also Have Hope.
'Today' Anchor Craig Melvin is rethinking how he'll talk to his children about race.
By Craig Melvin
In 2013 and 2014, I was living a double life.
Professionally, I was reporting on the trial of George Zimmerman, who was charged with (but found not guilty of) murdering Trayvon Martin, an unarmed Black 17-year-old. I spent time in Ferguson, Missouri, where I spoke with the family of Michael Brown Jr., another unarmed teenager shot dead, this time by a white law-enforcement official. I watched the demonstrations that followed.
I experienced firsthand the pain, the confusion, and the rage that accompanied these acts of violence. My life was filled with death, doom, and destruction—all of a racial nature.
Subscribe to Men's Health
But then at home, personally, my wife and I were preparing for the arrival of our first child, a boy. My wife, Lindsay, is white. I'm Black. Barack Obama was president, and my wife and I were living in a post-racial America, we thought.
The fact that our son would be biracial wasn't a chief concern. We had more conversations about how cool it was going to be to have a child in a new America. In looking back on that time, I now realize that perhaps I had been lulled into a sense of complacency.
Craig Melvin, with his wife, Lindsay Czarniak.
Astrid Stawiarz
My mother, Betty Jo, grew up in the 1960s. She lived in the projects. She sat in the front of the bus when sitting in the front of the bus was a statement. She knew "hard" racism. But she also did what she could to shield us.
She named me Craig and my brother Ryan. She made sure that we grew up in a diverse neighborhood and had friends of all colors. She raised us not to see color. I'm not blaming my mother for my inability to see "soft" racism, but consequently I may be doing the same thing with my children that my mother did with Ryan and me: shielding.
Today, my son is six, and we also have a daughter, who is three. I don't know when it happens in terms of age, but they haven't even questioned race yet. That's remarkable. At what point in our lives do we decide to classify everyone? I know that it does happen, and there will come a day that the Band-Aid is off and there's no putting it back on.
I've been covering the killing of George Floyd and its aftermath, and I'm still trying to reconcile my double life in 2020. I've always been good at compartmentalizing. I've always left the story at work. But what I did not fully appreciate until a couple years into fatherhood was that there's a residual effect of uncovering certain kinds of stories that is changing how I parent as a Black father.
I am not an emotional man, but now I cry a lot more than I used to. I've had to fight and coach myself into pulling it together—sometimes before I go on the air, sometimes while I'm on the air.
My wife and I haven't had a conversation with our son about race yet. Some of that is because we're not sure what to say yet. We are still having these conversations—between ourselves and among our family—conversations about how it doesn't matter how high-profile your job, what your ZIP code is, or whether you "yes ma'am" or "no sir." The reality is that on some chance encounter with an officer where something goes wrong, you realize that there's nothing you can do.
Right now my son and daughter are upstairs playing together with friends. I can hear them running around and having a great time. There's peace in that innocence. As a parent in this moment—today—I feel like that's the best I can offer them.
At some point I'll have to talk to my son about how to deal with the fact that he will go from being a cute kid with great hair to being labeled as a threat in society.
I'll have to talk to him about how to deal with circumstances he doesn't have control over. I'll have to talk to him about how he's going to carry himself in a world that doesn't always make sense.
But before I have this conversation with him, I'll continue to have this conversation with myself.

A Laboratory Comparison of United States and British Army Typhoid-Paratyphoid Vaccine

A laboratory comparison of the potency of United States and British Army TAB vaccines in routine use in Egypt has been made. The investigation was undertaken with the foreknowledge that the British vaccines failed to prevent large epidemics of typhoid and a relatively high overall enteric fever morbidity in the post World War II environment of the Suez Canal Zone.
Current British TAB inoculation routine with both alcoholized and phenolized vaccines conveys to an individual at least three times as much bacterial material, including twice as much of the typhoid component, as does the present American practice.
The British alcoholized vaccine, compared with the equivalent phenolized product, produced significantly greater amounts of "Vi" agglutinin in mice. Very much larger amounts of American vaccine were required to equal the "Vi" agglutinin production of either type of British vaccine.
In a series of mouse protection tests the British alcoholized vaccine proved to be significantly more potent than the equivalent phenolized product. In the same experiments the American vaccine, even allowing for quantitative differences in bacterial content, compared with the British, was surprisingly ineffective.
The significance of these findings is discussed.

In Questioning Answers, thirty-six first year graphic design students of the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague (KABK) were challenged to interpret the subject of interviews.
What is a question? What is an answer? Their findings have been compiled in more ways than one; this booklet is one of the many outcomes. Whereas other investigations were heavily content-driven, this booklet compiles an array of more subjective visual conclusions to Q and A's.
During the spring of 2017, this booklet also functioned as a catalogue to accompany a larger exhibition presenting the students' interpretations.
The project was mentored by Bart de Baets, Susana Carvalho, and Rob van den Nieuwenhuizen.

While the two terms sound extremely similar, they have very different meanings.
INTERstate movers transport household goods from one state to another (for example, a move from Chicago, IL to San Francisco, CA is an interstate move). These types of moves are regulated by national laws under the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) and are held to a high standard of business and transportation.
INTRAstate movers transport items within the borders of a state (for example, a move from Austin to Dallas, TX is an intrastate move). These types of moves are regulated by each state, so services may vary. In most states, these companies are required to file tariffs (or rates) and prices must be consistent with what's documented.
If you're moving to a neighboring state or moving coast-to-coast, you'll need to find a service that does interstate moves.
Full-service moving companies handle your move from start to finish – packing, loading, transporting and unloading. While it may seem more convenient than other moving options, it's typically the most expensive. They also charge based on the weight of your shipment, which is difficult to accurately estimate and can result in unexpected costs. These types of interstate movers also have transit times anywhere from 2-6 weeks, which is a long time to wait for your furniture and other items to arrive.
DIY moving is completing the whole move by yourself – usually using a rental truck. Not only are you in charge of the packing and loading, but also all the driving. This means you'll need to budget for fuel, insurance coverage and travel costs (food, hotels and road tolls) on top of the rental fees. And if you're moving with children, you may need to drive separately from the rest of your family. Many rentals only have seating for two people and you can't put car seats in a rental truck.
Hybrid interstate moving companies are the best of both worlds. You do the packing and loading and someone else does all the driving. This practical solution is convenient, flexible and affordable for those needing to stay within a budget (and it lets the entire family travel together). If you need some help moving across state lines and want to save as much money as possible, try a hybrid service like U-Pack®.
Many customers choose U-Pack because of the price – and because they don't have to drive a bulky rental truck across state lines! Our rates include the driver, fuel, sales tax, road tolls and liability coverage. Get a free moving quote today and see how U-Pack prices compare to truck rental and full-service moving companies.
How do you know if interstate movers are qualified?
Do they have a U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) number?
Do they have a motor carrier (MC) license number?
Are they registered with the FMCSA?
Even if you answer 'yes' to all of these questions for the company you're considering, we recommend looking them up on the FMCSA website and sites like yelp.com, the BBB and Facebook. Doing a little research and reading reviews can help you make the right decision.
While researching the best interstate moving companies, consider U-Pack! Our primary transportation partner, ABF FreightSM (DOT #082866 and MC #299107342), is one of the nation's most trusted carriers. ABF Freight is licensed by the FMCSA as an all commodities carrier, which includes, but isn't limited to, household goods. Experience a hassle-free out of state move with U-Pack!

Q: Fast Way to reserve Ports in VB.NET I have a need for my application to reserve certain port numbers. All I need to do is reserve them. I don't have to receive messages or anything. What is the fastest and easiest way to do this. I've tried the following:
ClientNetwork.hack_port_reserver1 = New UdpClient("localhost", 2020)
ClientNetwork.hack_port_reserver2 = New UdpClient("localhost", 2220)
ClientNetwork.hack_port_reserver3 = New UdpClient("localhost", 2021)
ClientNetwork.hack_port_reserver4 = New UdpClient("localhost", 2221)

But I think this reserves a random port to listen for messages coming from the port #'s I specified, because when I look at my ports I see that my application has reserved ports 4702 - 4705, when I wanted it to reserve the ports listed above.
I know that my application should not have to do this, but I don't work in fluffy coder candy land where everything is designed properly.
Thanks

A: Well I was closer to my answer than I thought. The following works:
ClientNetwork.hack_port_reserver1 = New UdpClient(New Net.IPEndPoint(address, 2020))
ClientNetwork.hack_port_reserver2 = New UdpClient(New Net.IPEndPoint(address, 2220))
ClientNetwork.hack_port_reserver3 = New UdpClient(New Net.IPEndPoint(address, 2021))
ClientNetwork.hack_port_reserver4 = New UdpClient(New Net.IPEndPoint(address, 2221))


Totally heart-warming, this vegan soup is all about balance. It has the spice of ginger and turmeric, sweetness of the Japanese sweet potatoes and the creaminess and richness of the coconut milk/cream. I hope you like it as much as Tashi did.
Chop the sweet potatoes into cubes and put into a soup pan.
Add water and coconut milk. Bring to a boil then turn heat down to simmer.
Add ginger, turmeric and garlic.
Mash through with a potato masher to break some of the sweet potatoes. (I like my soup chunky).
Add the chickpeas and simmer for another minute or two.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
