City of Plattsburgh, NY / Part III: General Legislation / Streets and Sidewalks
Article II Awnings Over Sidewalks
[Adopted 10-20-1988 (Ch. 233, Art. III, of the 1989 Code)]
Pursuant to the authority and power granted by General City Law § 20, Subdivision 10, to grant rights to use the public ways of the City of Plattsburgh, the Common Council of the City of Plattsburgh does ordain and enact the following provisions.
As used in this article, the following terms shall have the meanings indicated:
A structure affixed to the face of a building which projects over property owned by the City of Plattsburgh, including sidewalks, and which shelters persons passing under the awning from sun, rain or snow.
The same meaning as the definition given in Article II of the Zoning Ordinance of the City of Plattsburgh.[1]
Editor's Note: See Ch. 360, Zoning, § 360-5.
Awnings may be constructed of natural or synthetic fabrics and such other materials as are specifically approved by the Building Inspector.
Awnings shall be so constructed as to be capable of supporting a minimum load of 40 pounds per square foot.
Awnings shall not project more than seven feet from the face of the building they are affixed to or beyond a point one foot from the inside of the curb, whichever is less.
The lowest part of an awning shall be a minimum of seven feet above the grade of the sidewalk.
Awnings shall be so affixed that they are not supported by posts or columns.
The Building Inspector may permit an awning to be supported by a post or column to be located on a City sidewalk, and he may permit an awning to extend more than seven feet beyond the face of the building, if he finds that the awning is necessary to protect the public from a danger of falling snow or ice; there is no other practical way of protecting the public from such danger; and the posts or columns will not interfere with pedestrian traffic or the removal of snow from City sidewalks or streets.
Lights may be used to illuminate awnings, provided that the lighting fixtures are not visible on the outside of the awning, and the light does not cause glare upon the street or adjacent property.
Awnings shall be maintained in a safe and attractive condition.
Permanent lettering, logos, emblems and insignias are permitted on awnings on the condition that the total area of such signage does not exceed, when taken together with other building signage, the maximum signage permitted under the City of Plattsburgh's Sign Ordinance[1] or 15% of the area of the horizontal plane covered by the awning, whichever is less.
Editor's Note: See Ch. 360, Zoning, § 360-27.
No permit shall be issued for the installation of an awning on an historic site without the approval of the Planning Board of the City of Plattsburgh. The Planning Board shall act upon such applications in accordance with the procedures and standards set forth in § 270-30 of the Zoning Ordinance of the City of Plattsburgh.[1]
An awning shall be deemed to be owned by the owner of the structure it is affixed to. The owner of said structure shall be responsible for the installation and maintenance of such awnings in a safe condition. Before a permit is issued for the installation of an awning, the owner shall furnish the City with proof that insurance is in effect that ensures the City against any loss or claim for damage or injury that may be caused by such awning. Such insurance coverage may be provided under a tenant's insurance policy. The type and amount of insurance coverage required shall be determined in accordance with the City's schedule of insurance requirements.
The provisions of this chapter shall be enforced by the Building Inspector of the City of Plattsburgh.
The Building Inspector shall issue building permits for awnings.
It shall be unlawful to erect an awning without a building permit.
In applying for a permit, the applicant shall submit a scale drawing of the building facade the awning will be attached to; a scale drawing or sketch showing the method of construction and attachment of the awning; the materials; the color; the exact signage, including type style and letter size; the location, type and method of connection of any lighting fixture; and such other information as the Building Inspector deems necessary to review the application.
The application fee for such permit shall be determined by resolution of the Common Council.
[Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General Provisions, Art. I)]
Any person, firm or corporation violating the provisions of this article shall be subject to a fine not to exceed $250 per day for each day the violation continues from and after the date such person is served with a notice of violation.

Q: Message queue configuration changes in Magento 2 EE 2.1 I've been looking at the EE message queues functionality, but it seems like it is incomplete.
Prior to 2.1 there was a reasonably functional implementation that allowed you to create a etc/queue.xml to define publishers, topics, consumers and queues as described in the official documentation: http://devdocs.magento.com/guides/v2.0/config-guide/mq/config-mq.html.
There were limitations such as not been able to create bindings unless they matched a topic defined in configuration, which limited the flexibility as you had to define all possible topic possibilities up front. The lack of a recurring install script also meant you had to do a bit of hacking to get the installer script to run again.
As of 2.1 the publisher, topic, consumer and bind elements in etc/queue.xml have been deprecated and the configuration is split between etc/queue.xml and etc/communication.xml, as can be seen here: https://github.com/magento/magento2-samples/blob/master/sample-module-sample-message-queue/etc/. The deprecated publisher/topic/consumer/bind schema can still be used in isolation, but not in conjunction with the revised broker/queue schema.
However, none of this has appeared in the official documentation and its not immediately clear why the configuration has been split and requires duplication in some cases. More importantly, there doesn't seem to be a facility to define binding now, with the topic name used as the routing key instead. This in turn also makes it impossible to use special characters for binding queues. So it appears to have been refactored but lost functionality.
On a positive note, the magento/module-amqp module now uses a recurring installer script so the queue config changes are installed when you run magento setup:upgrade. This change has not been applied to the magento/module-mysql-mq module yet though.
So I'd like to know:
a) Have I got this all wrong and there is actually way to create bindings and it is more flexible than it seems?
b) Why has the configuration been split?

As a side note, as I've been experimenting with this I've been using one of the topology examples from the RabbitMQ tutorials at https://www.rabbitmq.com/tutorials/tutorial-four-php.html:

This deprecated configuration achieved the topology for the most part:
queue.xml:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework-message-queue:etc/queue.xsd">
    <topic name="quick.orange.rabbit" schema="Example\MessageQueue\Api\MessageInterface" publisher="default" />
    <topic name="quick.orange.fox" schema="Example\MessageQueue\Api\MessageInterface" publisher="default" />
    <topic name="lazy.pink.rabbit" schema="Example\MessageQueue\Api\MessageInterface" publisher="default" />
    <topic name="lazy.orange.elephant" schema="Example\MessageQueue\Api\MessageInterface" publisher="default" />
    <topic name="lazy.brown.fox" schema="Example\MessageQueue\Api\MessageInterface" publisher="default" />
    <consumer name="consumerOne" queue="queueOne" connection="amqp" class="Example\MessageQueue\Model\Subscriber" method="processMessage" executor="Magento\Framework\MessageQueue\BatchConsumer" />
    <consumer name="consumerTwo" queue="queueTwo" connection="amqp" class="Example\MessageQueue\Model\Subscriber" method="processMessage" executor="Magento\Framework\MessageQueue\BatchConsumer" />
    <bind queue="queueOne" exchange="magento" topic="*.orange.*" />
    <bind queue="queueTwo" exchange="magento" topic="*.*.rabbit"  />
    <bind queue="queueTwo" exchange="magento" topic="lazy.#" />
</config>

UPDATE:
The documentation has now been updated. Wildcards are now not supported, so the flexibility of a topic exchange is rendered null. So I tried to recreate the following direct exchange:

communication.xml:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:Communication/etc/communication.xsd">
    <topic name="orange" request="Example\MessageQueueExample\Api\MessageInterface" />
    <topic name="black" request="Example\MessageQueueExample\Api\MessageInterface" />
    <topic name="green" request="Example\MessageQueueExample\Api\MessageInterface" />
</config>

queue.xml:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework-message-queue:etc/queue.xsd">
    <broker topic="orange" type="amqp" exchange="magento">
        <queue consumer="consumerOne" name="queueOne" handler="Example\MessageQueueExample\Model\Subscriber::processMessage" consumerInstance="Magento\Framework\MessageQueue\Consumer"/>
    </broker>
    <broker topic="black" type="amqp" exchange="magento">
        <queue consumer="consumerTwo" name="queueTwo" handler="Example\MessageQueueExample\Model\Subscriber::processMessage" consumerInstance="Magento\Framework\MessageQueue\Consumer"/>
    </broker>
    <broker topic="green" type="amqp" exchange="magento">
        <queue consumer="consumerTwo" name="queueThree" handler="Example\MessageQueueExample\Model\Subscriber::processMessage" consumerInstance="Magento\Framework\MessageQueue\Consumer"/>
    </broker>
</config>

However, when you run the consumers, only the "green" topic is routed to consumerTwo, it ignores the "black" topic. So it seems that the best that can be accomplished is a direct exchange with only one binding per queue and consumer.

A: We've published documentation about 2.1 message queues at http://devdocs.magento.com/guides/v2.1/config-guide/mq/config-mq.html and http://devdocs.magento.com/guides/v2.1/config-guide/mq/queue-migration.html

ISWAP Releases Five Kidnapped Aid Workers
Home/Featured/Joblessness, Intimidation: First Class Honours Graduate Cries Out
Joblessness, Intimidation: First Class Honours Graduate Cries Out
Eric August 3, 2019
When in 2013, Maryann Okafor graduated with a first class honours in Economics from the Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, Anambra state, she was full of hope. She was looking forward to a stupendously bright future having burnt the midnight oil to the best of her activities, and came out victorious.
But hope has a slender body that breaks too soon. The best graduating student of her set, who doubled as a Masters Degree holder in Economics from the University of Lagos, is till today roaming the streets of major Nigerian cities, searching for opportunities to as much as feed.
Recounting her experience, Miss Okafor said she struggled hard, in the midst of nothing to graduate as the best student of the Class of 2013, but sad today as there is nothing to show for it. She added that not finding a job is not her greatest headache but the fact that she had been neglected as all entitlements due First Class graduates have been denied her. Among such entitlements is a token N1, 000, 000 given to Anambra State natives who made first class by the Anambra State government. More so, she revealed that the state government has started recruitment of first class graduates from 2014 – 2018, wondering why it did not extend to 2013 when she graduated.
Hear her: "I struggled so hard while in school and graduated as the best student in the class of 2013 but it seems that I have nothing to show for it.
"The most painful part of the story is that the information reaching me from a reliable source said that UNIZIK is giving appointment to first class graduates from 2014 to 2018 set. How come they didn't start from my set which is 2013.
"Anambra state government was previously giving a token of N1,000,000 to indigenes who made first class but immediately it got to my set, it was scrapped."
Emotionally explaining how she had been mocked in recent times, Okafor, passionately seeks the assistance of well meaning Nigerians to come to her aid as she is well and able to help push the nation forward in every facet.
Nigerians must understand that letting a talent like Maryann Okafor waste will be a disaster to the nation, especially at this time the country needs all its best brains.
Again, it is imperative to come to her aid as soon as possible if consideration is given to the high level of suicide prevalent in today's Nigeria. The highly educated Economist is gradually sliding into depression, and needs help urgently.

Beauty World Plaza
April 24, 2022 /0 Comments/in Misc /by myreservejalan
The Bukit Timah Town Centre has many retail outlets to choose from. Located at the Upper Bukit Timah Rd, 140, Beauty World Plaza is part of the Singapore Town Centre. Here are the details for Beauty World Plaza. You can call the mall or check out their website for more information. The mall has 30 units. It is also accessible via King Albert Park MRT station and Pei Hwa Presbyterian Primary School. Beauty World Plaza mall is located near many major roads including Dunearn Road and Clementi Road. It will bring in convenience for The Reserve Residences residents.
Built in 1982, the Bukit Timah Centre was the last shopping mall to be built in the area. Originally, the mall was built as a redevelopment centre for those who were displaced from the Beauty World Market/Town. It is composed of a five-storey commercial podium connected to the Bukit View car park podium. It also includes 20 storeys of residential units. It was first developed by the URA as an Anak Bukit Resettlement Centre. In 1989, Pidemco Land bought the mall and sold it to individual shopowners. The mall is strata-titled, similar to Bukit Timah Plaza.
Beauty World Town is an area a few minutes away from the MRT station. The area surrounding the MRT station is dotted with shopping centres. Many of these malls are surrounded by residential areas. Beauty World Town is the most popular one in the area. It has a wide range of shops, from clothing to food and accessories. The shopping centre is also a popular destination for locals. The mall is located near the exit of the Bukit Timah MRT station.
Located at 140 Upper Bukit Timah Road, Beauty World Plaza is a historical building that is part of the District 21 area near The Reserve Residences. The mall has a 999-year leasehold commercial property that is primarily used as a shopping mall. It is also near the Bukit Batok MRT station (NS2) and several bus stops. You can also find Al Ameen Eating House and Beauty World Food Centre within the vicinity.
Located in the vicinity of the new Bukit Timah MRT station, Beauty World Plaza sits in a convenient location in the city. Those who work downtown will appreciate the mall's proximity to transportation hubs. Alternatively, visitors can head to the nearby Bukit Timah MRT station to avoid the parking hassles and drive straight to the centre. A short walk to the new station, located in the vicinity, will also make it easy to get around.
In addition to the NTUC Fairprice Supermarket, Beauty World Plaza is also conveniently located nearby for The Reserve Residences residents. It is within walking distance of numerous restaurants, supermarkets, and schools. A swimming pool, jacuzzi, and kids' swimming pool are available for residents of Midwood Hillview. Additionally, the mall is within close proximity to several schools. You can find an elementary school within a kilometer from the centre.
Before the Second World War, the area was largely made up of kampongs. The region was home to numerous pineapple and rubber plantations. The predominant kampong, Beauty Timah Village, was built in this area. The area was also known as Chin Huat, a Chinese mandarin who settled in Singapore during the early 20th century. The area was destroyed during the Japanese occupation and was replaced by the Halfway House nightclub.
The surrounding area was originally known as Chin Huat before WWII. The area is now bounded by Upper Bukit Timah Road and Cheong Chin Nam Road. The district used to have two roundabouts, Ewart Circus and Bukit Timah Circus. At one time, this area was also known as Chin Huat, a district where many sultans and other ethnicities settled. The name is related to the grand Peranakan house that once stood nearby.
The Bukit Timah Shopping Centre is another mixed-use development that is part of the Singapore City Centre for The Reserve Residences. This mall consists of a seven-storey podium, a 14-storey tower, and an atrium. Unlike Beauty World Centre, Bukit Timah is smaller, and its corridors are narrower. It has one theatre that used to show Chinese and Tamil films. This theatre closed in the mid-1990s. Today, it houses interior design companies and maid agencies.

Massachusetts was at the center of the national struggle for women's rights. Long before the Civil War, Lucy Stone and other Massachusetts abolitionists opposed women's exclusion from political life. They launched the organized movement at the first National Woman's Rights Convention, held in Worcester. After the war, state activists founded the Boston-based American Woman Suffrage Association and Woman's Journal to lead campaigns across the country. Their activities laid the foundation for the next generation of suffragists to triumph over tradition. Author Barbara Berenson gives these revolutionary reformers the attention they deserve in this compelling and engaging story.

Military, War, & Peace
Boston's black and white abolitionists forged a second American revolution dedicated to ending slavery and honoring the promise of liberty made in the Declaration of Independence. Before the war, Bostonians were bitterly divided between those who supported the Union and those opposed to its endorsement of slavery. The Fugitive Slave Act brought the horrors of slavery close to home and led many to join the abolitionists. March to war with Boston's brave soldiers, including the grandson of Patriot Paul Revere and the Fighting Irish. The all-black Fifty-fourth Massachusetts Regiment battled against both slavery and discrimination, while Boston's women fought tirelessly against slavery and for their own right to be full citizens of the Union.

Der rote Prinz ist ein österreichisch-deutsches Filmdrama aus dem Jahre 1953 von Hans Schott-Schöbinger mit Inge Egger und Peter Pasetti in der Titelrolle als Habsburger Erzherzog Johann Salvator alias Johann Orth.

Handlung
Österreich-Ungarn in den 1880er Jahren. Der österreichischen Erzherzog Johann Salvator gilt als Rebell im stockkonservativen Herrscherhaus Habsburg. Da wundert es nicht, dass er die Familie mit einer seiner revolutionären Ideen wieder einmal in Rage bringt. Diesmal ist sein die Familie in Wallung bringende Einfall höchst privater Natur, denn seine Hochwohlgeboren beliebt seine Geliebte, die nicht unbedingt standesgemäße Tänzerin und Sängerin Milly Stubel zu ehelichen. Im allerhöchsten Auftrag stellt sich ein höfischer Intrigant, der selbst ein Auge auf Milly geworfen hat, gegen ihn und sorgt dafür, dass der Erzherzog kurzerhand für unzurechnungsfähig erklärt wird und all seiner höfischen Ämter und Titel verlustig wird.

Johann und seine Milly werden auf Schloss Ort im beschaulichen Oberösterreich interniert, doch gelingt es dem ungleichen Liebespaar von dort zu entfliehen und nach Genua zu entkommen. Dort wollen sie das Schiff "Santa Margaretha" besteigen und in ein neues, von allen Konventionen befreites Leben segeln. Der nachreisende schurkische Höfling will auch dies verhindern und plant, das Schiff in die Luft zu sprengen. Doch Erzherzog Johann, der nun den Namen Johann Orth angenommen ist, kann den feigen Anschlag verhindern und wirft den Schurken über Bord ins Meer. Dann verschwindet das Schiff im Nirgendwo und ward nimmer mehr gesehen. Auch Johann, "der rote Prinz", und seine Geliebte Milly bleiben verschollen.

Produktionsnotizen
Der rote Prinz entstand Ende 1953 in Thalerhof bei Graz (Atelier) sowie in den österreichischen Drehorten Gmunden, Schloss Schönbrunn, Schloss Ort am Traunsee, Mittendorf und Bad Aussee. Der Film wurde am 12. März 1954 in Dortmund uraufgeführt. Die Wiener Premiere war am 23. Juni 1954, die Berliner Erstaufführung am 17. September desselben Jahres.

Auguste Barth-Reuß übernahm die Produktionsleitung, Eduard Stolba entwarf die Filmbauten. Otto Reinwald war Aufnahmeleiter. Franz Antel soll ungenannt an der Regie mitgearbeitet haben.

Walther Reyer gab hier mit einer kleinen Rolle sein Filmdebüt.

Wissenswertes
Drei Jahre zuvor hatte derselbe Regisseur bereits einen Filmstoff über einen Habsburger Erzherzog Johann, und zwar Johann von Österreich, unter dem Titel Erzherzog Johanns große Liebe gedreht. Dort spielte O. W. Fischer die Titelrolle.

Kritik
Im Lexikon des Internationalen Films ist zu lesen: "Die romantisch ausgeschmückte Geschichte des österreichischen Erzherzogs Johann Salvator (1852–1891), der sich mit seinen aufrührerischen Schriften in Gegensatz zur Krone stellte, degradiert wurde, auf Rang und Würden verzichtete und wahrscheinlich auf einer abenteuerlichen Seereise ums Leben kam. Im Mittelpunkt des durchschnittlichen Kostümfilms steht die Liebe des Prinzen zu einer Wiener Sängerin."

Jai Shri…Vidyasagar
The miscreants hadn't sought out Vidyasagar, all they had needed was a concrete head to roll
The bust of Ishwarchandra Vidyasagar that was vandalised during Amit Shah's roadshow in Calcutta on on Tuesday, May 14, 2019. Those who destroyed it did not know that Tagore once said Vidyasagar's greatness lay in his determined, uncompromising humanism
Picture by Suman Ballav
Upala Sen | Published 19.05.19, 05:23 AM
In a state ruled by the lone woman chief minister of India, last week, some anti-socials thought nothing of vandalising the bust of Ishwarchandra Vidyasagar. The 19th century educationist reformer from Bengal might be famed for his vast scholarship, but it is his efforts towards women's emancipation that are more singular than any boast about his knowledge. He gleaned evidence from Hindu scriptures to support his case for widow remarriage. Later, he solemnised such marriages at his own risk. And his efforts were not restricted to the higher castes alone. As he married off his own son to a child widow, he wrote to a friend: "I am not a mere slave to custom. What I think to be justified for the good of myself or of society, I will do."
How's the josh?
Though polygamy became illegal in India in 1956, it was Vidyasagar who began the crusade against it exactly a hundred years before that. He set up school after school across Bengal for girl students with money from his own not-very-deep pockets. As someone pointed out — even as the Trinamul and the Bharatiya Janata Party cried conspiracy and sabotage and every other party made hay — the miscreants hadn't sought out Vidyasagar. All they had needed was a concrete head to roll.
They know not what they do
They didn't know of the resistance he had braved from his own for his reformist endeavours. They wouldn't know that it was said of him by one of his earliest biographers that he had "injured the Hindu religion through an excess of kindness and self reliance". They did not know that Tagore once said of him that his greatness lay in neither his vidya or daya but "in a determined, uncompromising humanism which had made him look at the life of a women in a fundamentally distinctive way". They would have had no clue that often enough, the poor Brahmin was fed up of his circle of bhadraloks. That, as historian Sumit Sarkar points out, in his later years he believed the country could improve only if the present breed of men were totally uprooted and human beings of a new kind planted. In all likelihood they were not aware that the last 18 years of his life he was so fed up of his ilk that he settled down among the Santhals. Had they known all this would they have stopped at smashing the glass case that housed the bust, or would they have proceeded to pulverize the dead man and all that he stood for?

Jessica-Lee Hirst is a freelance writer based in the Yarra Valley.
With its contemporary, vibrant atmosphere and fresh, local inspired menu Innocent Bystander/Giant Steps is a restaurant that has mastered modern dining. In the Yarra Valley finding a good place to dine is not difficult, there seems to be an endless amount of wineries, restaurants, cafes and gourmet pubs. Healesville is a small but bustling town that hosts many fine dining experiences in the heart of the Valley.
It's hard for a restaurant to stand out amongst the hive of activity. But Innocent Bystander/Giant Steps has managed to do just that – stand out and be outstanding. The building itself is modern with high ceilings, exposed steel beams and walls of glass (can get a little loud with background noise if busy). On a warm day, the timber decks outside are full of happy customers sipping on beers and wine or having light lunches. If you plan on visiting on a weekend make sure you book, especially if the weather is nice.
Indoors there are sitting booths for large groups and smaller tables for couples and you can watch the chefs work their magic in the open plan kitchen. They make their own wine and you can enjoy tastings everyday from 10am to 6pm, with winery tours also available daily at 11am and 3pm. Here you can experience the wonder of their gravity flow system, fermenting tanks and barrel hall. Their two wine labels are very different from one another, the 'Giant Steps' label focuses on using the blend of single vineyard grapes from in the Yarra Valley. 'Innocent Bystander' is their other label that allows the picking and mixing of grapes from other great vineyards within the Yarra Valley and further.
Ask for advice on wine and a passionate waiter will help you navigate the wine list. A popular choice is also their boutique beers, well known labels such as 'Little Creatures' and 'White Rabbit' on tap. The ladies favourite is 'Moscato', naturally sweet and effervescent, made from old vines and Muscat grapes, also on tap.
The menu changes from time to time depending on local ingredients and the season. There are always wood fired pizzas, old-Italian style with thin crusts and delicious toppings. Other options include fresh salads, duck and mushroom pie, pan fried ocean trout, slow cooked lamb and red curry of rockling. There is something for everyone, even the kids, with a selection of meals catering for the littlies.
They have a range of quirky tapas and fresh sour dough bread for starters. The service is faultless; the staff members are chatty and passionate. They love what they do and are experts on wining and dining. When having dinner with my family of four a few nights ago, we ordered the Tomohawk Steak, a new addition to the menu. It's one kilo of rib eye beef, quickly grilled and then slow cooked for an hour. I am personally not a red meat person, but after hearing rave reviews of the Tomohawk I had to give it a shot. It was melt in your mouth delicious; the meat was tender, full of flavour and easily fed four adults. It came with slow cooked veggies and you can order it with a bottle of Mule Shiraz for a little bit extra. The Mule Shiraz is their latest wine using grapes sourced from a biodynamic vineyard in conversion in McLaren Vale. It is a smooth young Shiraz, perfect accompaniment with the Tomohawk Steak.
It would have been nice to have dessert, maybe a goats milk cheese cake (my favourite) or a French pastry bread and butter pudding (my mum's favourite) but we were too full! So we settled for a coffee. They roast their own beans and source from countries including Columbia, Brazil and Indonesia. On busy morning the restaurant fills with the aroma of sweet coffee while people utilize the free wireless connection. They serve their coffee strong so be sure to ask for a weak coffee if that's how you prefer it.
If you're after a casual dining experience with a special someone or are heading out with a group consider Innocent Bystander/Giant Steps, you won't be disappointed. You can even just pop in for a coffee and pastry. Laze around in the sun on the deck. Enjoy the simple pleasures that the Yarra Valley is so proud of.

Selling with webinars has been proven to be very profitable.
This is because they are simple, fairly easy to create and convert easily when you have a list.
However, for many marketers, they shy away from talking to tens, hundreds, or even thousands of people at one time.
However, there is another way, and the best thing with this method is that you don't need to own a list to run webinars.
As long as you have a great service or product you want to sell, you can approach list owners and split the profit with them.
Most list owners prefer webinars because it always brings cash to the bank easily.
All they need to do is send out a couple of emails to their list, and you do the rest of the work.
This will give you an opportunity to market yourself to other people's lists.
Another benefit of doing webinars on other people's list is that you will be marketing your products to a highly targeted group.
Your partners promote your webinar to their big, active list and their list members come to your site to sign up.
Webinars are an instant product by themselves.
You can sell your webinar if it is information-rich.
You can also give your webinar recording as an incentive when building your list.
And the best thing with webinars is that they can be replayed to generate more sales.
Plus, you record it once, you can continue to use it on your websites to make more sales.
You can request list owners to put it on their website as well.
And another kicker you probably have never considered is that webinars can help you build your own list.
Partner with someone such that they send traffic from their big list.
You might get 500 sign-ups, and 200 of those attend your webinar.
15-20 of those buy your product.
You have made sales and added 500 new people to your list.
Webinars provide high-conversion, quality traffic and quick product creation for both paid and free products.
They also woo people easily to buy products from you.
After all, people will believe you more when they hear you talking about how beneficial a product you are selling is.
Plus, they are one of the best ways to build your list.
Imagine if you did one webinar a week- you could achieve a lot in your business.
After a lifetime of broadcasting (CNN / BBC) about business, I have now taught almost 100,000 people how to start their own business from home. You can be next!
I run this site independently of any service, company or business.
All opinions and comments are my own, based on real-world experiences of business.
I may receive commissions when you click a link and make a purchase – however, this does not impact my reviews and comparisons.

Michelle Berrey — the woman who replaced Chimerix CEO Kenneth Moch in 2014 after the company notoriously denied a dying child compassionate use of its experimental treatment — has stepped down for undisclosed reasons, the Durham, North Carolina-based drug developer said on Wednesday.
Berrey, who served as the company's chief medical officer prior to becoming CEO, came to Chimerix from Pharmasset where she was also CMO until the company was swallowed by Gilead in 2012, enabling the latter to generate billions in hep C drug sales. She steered the ship at Chimerix as the company sought to spin setback after setback in the late-stage developmental program of its oral antiviral drug, brincidofovir, for the prevention of cytomegalovirus (CMV) disease in kidney transplant patients.
Eventually, the company terminated developing the drug in that indication and shifted focus to testing the drug for smallpox, among other patient populations. Data from two pivotal smallpox studies in rabbits and mice are expected this year, and if positive will form the basis of a marketing application. Meanwhile, an IV version of brincidofovir is also in development.
Over the last three years, the company has kept a relatively low-profile. On Wednesday, Chimerix said a newly created office of the CEO — encapsulating three senior executives Garrett Nichols, Timothy Trost and Michael Alrutz — will man the fort while a replacement for Berrey is found.
The three will also continue to serve in their original posts: Nichols as CMO; Trost as CFO, senior VP and corporate secretary; and Alrutz as senior VP, general counsel.
Chimerix declined to comment on Berrey's departure.
The company went public in 2013 under Moch — who quickly found a way to temper the firestorm of public criticism that emerged in response to the rejection of the compassionate use request in 2014 — by enrolling the child Josh Hardy in a small open-label trial set up in agreement with the FDA.
Still pointing fingers 5 years later, wonderful leadership!

Vulture bone flutes
BBC News: 'Oldest musical instrument' found.
Scientists in Germany have published details of flutes dating back to the time that modern humans began colonising Europe, 35,000 years ago. The flutes are the oldest musical instruments found to date. The researchers say in the Journal Nature that music was widespread in pre-historic times.
The team from Tubingen University have published details of three flutes found in the Hohle Fels cavern in southwest Germany.
The most well-preserved of the flutes is made from a vulture's wing bone, measuring 20cm long with five finger holes and two "V"-shaped notches on one end of the instrument into which the researchers assume the player blew. The archaeologists also found fragments of two other flutes carved from ivory that they believe was taken from the tusks of mammoths.
I play a solid silver Gemeinhardt flute, and my first thought on reading this was "how do they sound?" The vulture bone flute is curved, and it looks to be a vertical instrument instead of the modern transverse flutes, more like a tin whistle than my own flute. It has four visible holes on one side, probably a thumb hole on the back. The article includes a sound clip of a reconstruction of the vulture bone flute and it is surprisingly tuneful.
There was a noticeable difference in tone between my original silver-plated Elkhart flute, and the solid silver Gemeinhardt, the new flute made the old one sound like a cheap penny whistle. Rumour has it there is a similar difference in tone when you go up to a solid gold flute like the one played by James Galway.
Wooden instruments have a very different sound to metal ones, they are warmer, less precise, and more breathy. The curve of the vulture bone would affect the sound, flutes generate standing sound waves of varying lengths depending on the keys pressed, and you need a straight tube for a good standing wave.

Q: iOS print without allowing UIPrintInteractionController to appear I am researching a potential app for a client, and I had a question I wasn't able to find the answer on. What I would like to do is print automatically, without having the UIPrintInteractionController get displayed. An important point I should make is this will not be a production app. I know that otherwise this could violate the user's privacy to just print without the user's consent, but again this will not be a public app on the App Store. One app I found that seems to be able to this is Printer Pro. The user is prompted to print a test page, and the page prints without the UIPrintInteractionController appearing - this app is on the store, so I'm assuming there's a legal way to do it. Anyone know how this is done?

A: As far as I know it is not possible to print in iOS7 without invoking the UIPrintInteractionController and displaying the system print dialog.
However, iOS8 now provides a provision for printing directly to a print without showing the dialog. The basic idea is that you obtain a UIPrinter object and use this in conjunction with the new - printToPrinter:completionHandler: method of the UIPrintInteractionController to print without showing the dialog.
Obtaining the UIPrinter object for your printer can be accomplished in a couple of ways.
The most straightforward is to use the new UIPrinterPickerController. But this would show a dialog and so doesn't meet your needs.
The alternative is to create a printer via its URL using the UIPrinter method
+ printerWithURL:. I'm not entirely clear how to obtain this URL but it may be contained in the printer's HTML admin pages. And I believe you can obtain it programmatically using the Bonjour API. More info here:
https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/NetServices/Introduction.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/10000119i
Bonjour is a service discovery API which includes discovery of IPP printers, which the is the protocol used by AirPrint.
As for how the Printer Pro app is able to print without a dialog in iOS7, I would guess they are interacting with the printer at a very low level (e.g. raw HTTP posts, etc.).

A: Follow these steps to Print the Documents without prompting..
First Search for Devices Using the Below Code...
if (NSFoundationVersionNumber > NSFoundationVersionNumber_iOS_7_1) {
    UIPrinterPickerController *printPicker = [UIPrinterPickerController printerPickerControllerWithInitiallySelectedPrinter:nil];

    [printPicker presentAnimated:YES completionHandler:
        ^(UIPrinterPickerController *printerPicker, BOOL userDidSelect, NSError *error) {

            if (userDidSelect) {
                //User selected the item in the UIPrinterPickerController and got the printer details.

                [UIPrinterPickerController printerPickerControllerWithInitiallySelectedPrinter:printerPicker.selectedPrinter];

                // Here you will get the printer and printer details.ie,
                // printerPicker.selectedPrinter, printerPicker.selectedPrinter.displayName, printerPicker.selectedPrinter.URL etc. So you can display the printer name in your label text or button title.

                NSURL *printerURL = printerPicker.selectedPrinter.URL;

                NSLog(@"printerURL--->%@",printerURL.absoluteString);

                NSUserDefaults *defaults = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
                [defaults setObject:[printerURL absoluteString] forKey:@"printURL"];
                [defaults synchronize];
            }
    }];
}

And Print the Documents by without prompting by using the below code...
if (NSFoundationVersionNumber > NSFoundationVersionNumber_iOS_7_1) {
   NSUserDefaults *defaults = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];

   UIPrinter *currentPrinterObj = [UIPrinter printerWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:[defaults stringForKey:[defaults stringForKey:@"printURL"]]]];

   UIPrintInteractionController *controller = [UIPrintInteractionController sharedPrintController];

   if(currentPrinterObj) {
        [controller printToPrinter:currentPrinterObj completionHandler:^(UIPrintInteractionController *printController, BOOL completed, NSError *error) {
            if(completed) {

            } else {
                NSLog(@"FAILED! due to error in domain %@ with error code %u", error.domain, error.code);
            }
        }];
    }

How to Buy 90th Birthday Gifts for a Woman Who has Everything
By eHow Contributor
Find the perfect gift for your favorite nonagenarian.
Brainstorming gift ideas for a soon-to-be-90-year-old woman who has everything can seem an intimidating prospect. Whether she's your grandmother, mother, wife, friend, or relative, you want to get her something special on this milestone birthday. But what? Learn how to buy gifts suitable for a 90th birthday for the woman who's reached this amazing age, but who already has everything she could possibly want.
Ask the almost-90-year-old birthday girl about her past, while subtly trying to get her talking about past birthdays. Not only will you both have a great time talking about a time long gone by, but it's also the perfect chance to find clues about what she might want. Did she always wish for a bouquet of violets on her birthday? Gold-embossed birthday invitations? A whole box of chocolates to herself?
Assess whether she's the kind of person to appreciate a gag gift. To do this, ask her if she's ever had a surprise birthday party, and whether or not she liked it. Someone who can laugh at being surprised might very well laugh at a humorous birthday present. Funny gag gifts give a gift that money truly can't buy -- laughter.
If she has a good sense of humor, consider getting her a book about turning 90. Go wild and get her 90 balloons and 90 party streamers to represent each year. Or try a T-shirt with a humorous saying about looking fabulous at 90.
Buy her a gift steeped in nostalgia, since memories are another thing that are precious (and don't cost a lot). Assemble a leather-bound photo album for her woman with photos of her family and friends and go through it with her at the party.
Buy her a trophy gift -- a gift that celebrates the fact that she's reached the milestone age of 90 and is rightfully proud of it. Jazz up a 90th-birthday gift clock with a balloon. Or get her the "sure thing" birthday present: a gourmet birthday gift basket filled with goodies she can nibble on for days.
Whatever present you buy, present her 90th birthday gift with flair, ideally at a 90th-birthday party to commemorate what an achievement 90 really is. Any 90-year-old woman worth her salt will gladly accept the gift in the spirit with which it was meant.

Adapting old buildings
By Roger Hunt | April 10, 2015
The need for fresh air and light in buildings is something I'm often talking and writing about because it's central to creating a good home, but the theme is nothing new.

Building lime knowledge
By Roger Hunt | March 26, 2015
Lime, in the form of mortars, renders, plasters and paints, is a key component of old buildings and essential to their repair – or at least it should be. Today lime-based materials are also emerging into the mainstream and being used within low carbon construction systems, employed in everything from homes to superstores. All this…
Drain problems
A blocked drain is not a pleasant thing to wake up to. What's worse is the realisation that it's something that can generally be avoided by doing what I'm always talking about: maintenance. The drainage system is easily forgotten because much of it is hidden away underground but, as with any element of a building, it…

New techniques and materials aimed at producing low carbon solutions mean this is an exciting time to be involved with new build and retrofit.

Linoleum naturally
By Roger Hunt | August 25, 2014
Lino is a bit like Marmite, people either seem to love it or hate it. For some it conjures thoughts of cold and institutional floors and it's often (wrongly) used to describe vinyl. Unlike vinyl, which is petroleum based, linoleum has outstanding eco credentials and antimicrobial and hypo-allergenic properties. A hard-wearing and almost totally natural product, linoleum…
Research, research, research
Location, location, location may be the estate agent's mantra but when you buy an old house research is just as important – it helps you understand what you're buying and will make a renovation project more successful. What's more, much of the fun of working on an old property is finding out more about its history…
By Roger Hunt | August 7, 2014
Water is a finite and precious resource, we all know that – or at least we should. I was reminded when I visited Bermuda. Here the architecture is influenced by the need to collect rainwater. Stepped and whitewashed roofs are a key feature of many buildings with their wedge-shaped limestone 'glides' designed to channel rainwater into…
Energy: Nest Thermostat

American Barns

Switching on to style
There's nothing very sexy about light switches or power sockets. At least this is what I'd thought until I went to a recent launch event for MK's Elements range of 'decorative wiring devices'. I came away realising that switches can be cool. What's more I delved a bit deeper into wireless light switch solutions which…
Repair not restore
Visiting Coventry to speak at an SPAB Old House Eco Course I was reminded of the complex philosophical issues associated with caring for our built heritage, particularly the value of good new design in an historic environment and the need to understand the fundamental principle of repair rather than restoration. The ruins of Coventry Cathedral…
Insurance and flooding
Flooding is something I've already written about but it seemed important to think about the insurance implications relating to old buildings. In this Q & A I've asked Amanda Harman, who works as senior client manager of High Value Households at Aon Private Clients, for her views: What are the particular insurance issues relating to…
Responsible retrofit
Retrofit requires an understanding of the building coupled with an holistic approach. This may sound simple but it isn't, buildings – especially old buildings – are many layered entities and it's not only the structure that has to be considered, it's the behaviour of the building's occupants. When planning retrofit strategies, heritage, technical and energy…
Chimney draughts
Speaking and answering questions at shows generally doesn't leave much time to explore the stands and see what's new. This was the case at this year's Homebuilding & Renovating Show but it soon became clear, from what visitors to the advice centre were telling me, that there was one product that I had to go…
Using wood wisely
I didn't see a monster on my visit to Loch Ness but I did end up learning something about forestry and how the use of timber can be maximised. I'd travelled to a forestry site called Glen Brien, close to the southern end of the Loch, where 73 hectares (180 acres) of Lodgepole pine (Pinus…


Stuffed bellpeppers / Bharwan shimla mirch is a unique, tasty side dish. I have stuffed the bell peppers with potato filling. The choice of filling can be made according to your interest and creativity and can be made with spiced up paneer, veggies, quinoa, rice, etc. and you can also top up with cheese if you bake. You can also bake, steam or deep fry in oil. The quantity of the filling depends upon the size of the capsicum. My bell peppers were medium in size. I toasted it on stovetop in a pan. The measurements given are for 6 medium-sized bell peppers.
Boil, peel and cook potatoes, mash well. Heat oil in a pan, add cumin seeds, grated ginger, green chillies,(add onions now if using), peas and saute for a while. Add potatoes, salt and all other ingredients given for stuffing, mix well. Switch off the stove. Add coriander leaves, mix well and allow it to cool a bit.
Meanwhile, wash the bellpeppers, pat it dry. Cut the top portion of the bellpeppers, de-seed, spread little salt inside and outside of the capsicum and rest it for 5 minutes. Grease the capsicum with melted butter, heat the pan and cook on all sides until you see white spots. Take out and when cool, stuff the potato mixture.
Again brush bell peppers with melted butter, heat the pan, arrange the stuffed bellpeppers, and cook in a low flame. Turn it on all sides with a tong until the bellpeppers change the colour and have light brown spots on it. Be careful not to burn it. If using a microwave oven, cook in micro-high for 5 minutes. Turn in-between. I would like to have this crunchy. You can also cook until it shrinks. Serve hot with rotis or with rice as a side dish.

Q: Pandas DataFrame replace value in 1 column given an index value This seems like something simple. But I've tried several different things and read probably a dozen StackOverflow questions that seemed related.
I have market data for crypto currnecies (BitCoin and others). The Order Book is a list of all the 'asks' and 'bids' for a given currency. I am wanting to store the data in a Pandas DataFrame. (I'm not stuck on using DFs just thought it might provide easier plotting down the road.)
So the setup right now is a DataFrame where the Rate (price) is the Index and it is a float. The quantity of coins available at that price is in a column named Amt.
When I get an update to the Amount at a given Rate I want to simply replace that value. Of all the possible solutions I found this option to be the most intuitive to me:
df.Amt[df.Rate == rate] = new_amt

While I don't get any errors from this, when I check to see if the Amt changes I find that it has not. I assume this is one of those copy/slice issues vs working on the DataFrame itself.
Example:
df.head()
Out[77]:
       Rate        Amt
0  0.018021   0.319033
1  0.018009  29.994000
2  0.017999  28.121000
3  0.018042   2.233781
4  0.018055  13.433394

df.Amt[df.Rate == 0.018021] = 20

df.head()
Out[79]:
       Rate        Amt
0  0.018021   0.319033
1  0.018009  29.994000
2  0.017999  28.121000
3  0.018042   2.233781
4  0.018055  13.433394

What am I missing? I've worked with DFs in the past to change whole columns but not generally just 1 row.

A: Correcting the error and incorporating @JohnE's comment
You were accessing the pd.Series object with df.Amt and slicing it with [df.Rate == 0.018021].  When what you want is to pass the boolean array to loc and assign that way.
df.loc[np.isclose(df.Rate, 0.018021), 'Amt'] = 20

       Rate        Amt
0  0.018021  20.000000
1  0.018009  29.994000
2  0.017999  28.121000
3  0.018042   2.233781
4  0.018055  13.433394
