handmade leather boot by japanese designer tatamba & tatarou. impeccably made shoes all hand lasted and hand sewn with vegetable tanned leather. Produced by Ryuta Komatsu in Osaka, these shoes will last for years and years. Since these shoes are made from vegetable tanned leather, there is a break in period as the shoes soften. the leather will also darken and develop a patina over time with wear and sunlight. please note the leather may show marks from water drops as in the natural nature of the leather. each pair is unique and leather grain may vary.
Sizing: Japanese, we will try to provide measurements soon, feel free to email to help with sizing. 24.5 is similar to a US size 7.5. Christie in the pictures is a US size 10 and wears the 26.5.
24.5 9 7/8" 10 1/8"
25 10 1/8" 10 3/8"
25.5 10 3/8" 10 1/2"
26 10 5/8" 10 7/8"


In 1994, she won her first George Foster Peabody Award as a Producer for The New Explorers, a PBS series profiling ground breaking scientific exploration. The series, produced by Kurtis Productions, was nominated for a national Emmy and went on to win numerous broadcast awards, including The Ohio State Award, The Chicago International Film Festival Gold Plaque and the CINE Golden Eagle Award.
In 1995, Ms. Finitzo became an associate of Kartemquin Films. As an associate of Kartemquin, she received her first production grant from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting in 1995 to produce 5 Girls. The film was a special presentation of the PBS non- fiction series P.O.V and premiered on national public television in the fall of 2001. 5 Girls was awarded the Henry Hampton Award for Excellence from The Council on Foundations, The Silver Award from The Chicago Film & Television Competition and an award for Outstanding Achievement from the Parent's Guide to Children's Media.
In 2002, she began work on her second documentary produced in collaboration with Kartemquin Films. Production began on Mapping Stem Cell Research: Terra Incognita with a significant production grant from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation. Completed in 2007, Mapping Stem Cell Research: Terra Incognita was screened in competition at many festivals including: The International Documentary Film Festival – Amsterdam (IDFA), The Chicago International Film Festival, The New Zealand International Film Festival, The Council on Foundations Film Festival, The 3rd Intl. Science Film Festival – Greece, The Kos International Film Festival, and the Coruna Science Festival and Mostra de Ciencia e Cinema – Spain. Terra Incognita was awarded, the Chicago Hugo Award by The Chicago International Film Festival, an Honorable Mention at DOCNZ, New Zealand's International Documentary Film Festival, two 2nd place jury awards at Mostra de Ciencia e Cinema in Spain, Best Feature Documentary from the Kos International Film Festival and the 2008 George Foster Peabody Award for Broadcast Excellence. The film was broadcast nationally in January of 2008 as part of the Independent Lens series on PBS. Chosen by the Independent Television Service to be a part of their Community Cinema Program, the film was shown theatrically in more than 70 different markets. Terra Incognita has also been broadcast in Canada, New Zealand, Australia, Israel, Spain and Sweden.
In 2007, she was selected by Sundance Institute to be a 2007 Sundance Documentary Fellow for the 2007 Independent Sundance Producer's Conference.
Most recently, she received an Illinois Humanities Council grant and an Illinois Arts Council grant to begin work on her next documentary film, In the Game, a film that examines the impact of Title IX on women's sports and the broader questions of inclusion and exclusion, fairness and tradition, principle and compromise, and level playing fields in all walks of life.
As an Associate of Kartemquin Films, Maria has mentored emerging filmmakers, supported student learning through our robust internship program and engaged the public in the range of issues her films address through the national outreach campaigns that accompany them. Each of her films produced in collaboration with Kartemquin Films has been the centerpiece for major symposiums. They are used by universities across the country as teaching tools and have been the focus of targeted community screenings both nationally and internationally. As a board member of Kartemquin Films, she provides institutional leadership, ensuring the longevity of the organization and the fulfillment of its mission to develop documentary film as a vehicle to deepen our understanding of society through everyday human drama.
In June of 2008, she was awarded an MFA from Northwestern University in Writing for the Stage and Screen. Life Lessons will be her first fiction film from her original screenplay.

December being the festive month, Priya of Cook Like Priya has suggested wonderful Christmas bakes from around the world for this month's Home Bakers Challenge, a baking group started by Priya of Priya's Versatile Recipes. She suggested an array of cookies, cakes and breads to choose from. I chose to make these cute snowmen cookies.
These melt in mouth snow man cookies are perfect for the season. The dough is quite easy to make, but making the snowmen shape needs lots of patience! My cookies have not come out perfect due to my impatience but loved the taste of these buttery cookies.
1. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in water and almond extract.
2. Gradually beat in flour and mix well. Place 1/3 cup each in two small bowls. Add red food coloring to one and green to the other and set aside.
3. Preheat the oven to 180 C / 350 F.
4. Shape remaining dough into twelve 1-inch balls and twelve 1 ½-inch balls. Place one smaller ball above one larger ball on baking sheets or tray and flatten slightly.
5. For each snowman, shape 2 teaspoons of colored dough into a hat and place above head.
6. For scarf, shape 1/4 teaspoon of each color into a 3-inch rope and twist ropes together, leaving one end untwisted. Place scarf around snowman's neck.
7. Insert jimmies for eyes and nose. Bake at 180 C / 350 F for 15-18 minutes or until set. Cool on wire rack.
Good one..looking yummy and cute.
Cute perfectly baked snowman butter cookies..
very beautiful cookies, love it!!!
Cookies look so cute and wonderful.. Am nominating you for the "Liebster award".. Please follow the link to grab your award.

Stirling Highway narrows considerably as it goes through the suburb of Mosman Park, making that stretch quite dangerous for motorists. It's also risky for pedestrians because not only is there a high concentration of vehicles whizzing past but the footpaths are very narrow as well.
There's a very real reminder of the severity of this danger in the form of a makeshift cross on the corner of Glyde St, presumably left to mark the site of a roadside fatality.
About a week ago a dead possum appeared nearby. Now, this could have been someone's idea of a joke. But I doubt it. Mosman Park is one of the leafier suburbs of Perth and there are quite a few trees near this particular intersection. So I think that the poor creature was probably a local, and met the same fate as the human named Ricky remembered by the makeshift grave site.
In any case it was quite a sad and grimly ironic scene while it lasted.

Use some contact paper and glitter to create this simple, sparkly Valentine craft.
Fold your contact paper in half.
Peel the backing off the contact paper in each corner and tape those corners on to your bin or box. This is simply to hold the contact paper in place.
Peel the backing of the contact paper off to the fold line. Cut off the excess backing.
We are going to cut a heart shape out of the contact paper backing. Fold it over and cut out a heart shape.
Place some tape on the edges of your heart.
Carefully attach it to the center of your contact paper.
The next step is to glitter the entire piece of contact paper. Use as much glitter as you like, mix colors - have fun.
Tilt your box up and shake off the excess glitter.
Remove the contact paper from the bin and carefully remove your paper backer heart.
The contact paper will need a frame which we will create out of duct tape. Place one edge of the tape on the edge of the contact paper. Flip the contact paper over and fold the tape over the other side to seal. Be careful to line the duct tape up exactly. You do not want to see the other side of the tape through the contact paper.

Q: How to delete all rows in data table that contain a conserved string EDIT: tried grepl, as in:
DF <- DF[!grepl("M+1", DF$Column2, fixed=TRUE),]

(the fixed=TRUE is necessary because of the "+" in the string).
Original post:
My data frame contains a particular column that has a wide range of factors, and I want to delete any row in which that factor contains a particular string.
For example, I want to delete rows 1 and 3 from the table below, because they contain the conserved string "M+1".
Column1    Column2    Column3
x          [3]M+1     y
x                     y
x          [2]M+1     y
x                     y

I'd be fine if the column entry was just a static string, e.g.
DF <- DF[!(DF$Column2 == "M+1"),]

But unfortunately there are other, irrelevant components to the factors in the column. I considered using %in% but can't figure out how to make it "not in" rather than "in". I've tried here, here, here and here etc. but they're mainly dealing with deleting rows based on numeric values rather than factors (and based on the absolute value in the column, rather than whether it "contains" a particular value). Thanks.

Dentists Will Buy Back Halloween Candy From Kids
Patti Roth
| Health |
Patti Roth | October 29, 2015 | 7:02am
Rather than trash the surplus of Butterfingers, Reese's Cups, and Laffy Taffy hauled into your house by lucrative trick-or-treaters, bring it to one of a dozen South Florida dentists and orthodontists who are offering kids incentives for trading it in.
Some dentists pay kids a $1 per pound for dumping the sugary loot. At least two offices in Broward are dishing out $2 a pound.
It's a win-win: Parents are eager to be rid of the tempting sweets, and kids are delighted to receive money. "The smiles on their faces are priceless," said Stephen Bender, office manager for pediatric dentist Fara Bender in Lake Worth.
Dentists and orthodontists participating in the Halloween Candy BuyBack set up their own rules for when they accept candy drop-offs and what they provide in exchange. Some hand out goody bags with toothbrushes or other nonmonetary incentives, while many pay $1 a pound up to a preset limit. The sweets are packed up and shipped to Operation Gratitude, which includes them in packages sent to U.S. military troops overseas.
Some families write notes for the military personnel and add them to their Halloween haul. Usually, the youngsters surrender the sweets without objection, the dentists report.
"For the most part, I think they go through and pick out all the stuff they want and trade in the stuff that's not so important to them, and some kids don't care about candy," said dentist Brian P. Rask of Pompano Beach. Rask and dentist Robert Dolgow in Lauderdhill are each offering $2 a pound at their offices.
Before the piles are shipped off, dentists and their staff acknowledge, a few items may be pilfered.
"It's tempting," said Mary Ellen Blanco, an orthodontics assistant at Caponera Orthodontics in Plantation. "Reese's Pieces are a popular one here," she said. But the staff is selective, she said. "We left the good ones [for the troops]."
Information about participating dentists by zip code is on the Halloween Candy BuyBack website.

Periphery perform at South Africa festival
Review of Periphery's performance at the Krank'd Up South Africa festival.
by contributor Prog Nick
South Africa is predominantly a house and hip hop music market, and most other genres are poorly represented due to the relatively small size and remote location of the nation on Africa's southern tip. Yet there is a surprisingly vibrant metal market there, if tiny in world terms, and largely dormant until major metal bands tour there (the last to draw any significant numbers was Iron Maiden.) But there are, it seems, South African metal supporters in sufficient numbers, so promoters will, from time to time, call on mid-level overseas bands. This is usually done in the context of metal festivals that largely feature local bands, thereby lowering the financial risk.
Prog, as a genre, is disappointingly under-represented in South Africa, so when a band with anything marginally akin to Prog capabilities does appear, there is joy and celebration amongst South African Proggers, who are relatively few in number. Naturally, this includes the so-called Prog-metal and 'Djent' genres.
Periphery headlined the "Krank'd Up" metal festival in Alberton, Johannesburg, on September 24th. The festival is in its fourth year and is held in the grounds of a country pub south of Johannesburg. It has already established a good reputation, and the seconding of Periphery to headline the 2016 edition was news that has lifted this festival to a new level.
Periphery took to the stage at 22h00 sharp, after a long day of South African metal bands followed by Georgia's Norma Jean, and the band's impact was immediate.
Throughout the set, the band's Djent proclivities were obviously very clearly on display, but if they had not been, one feels the crowd, comprised largely by metal-heads, would have been disappointed. Melody was not abandoned, however.
The first noticeable fact, made apparent as the band kicked off, was that there were three guitarists but no bass player. (On interviewing Misha Mansoor afterwards, I was assured that Adam Getgood is still a key member and producer of the band, but is unable to tour due to personal reasons. His bass-tracks were pre-recorded and were evident at the gig.) With five other members on stage, this omission hardly made the difference that one might otherwise have feared.
The band were on good form and were greeted with due rapturous applause by their Prog-starved South African fans. Some of them had, it must be said, clearly partaken of South Africa's famous vine-sourced beverages, but their performance was nevertheless pretty much spot-on. (After a small gaffe in the second song, singer Spencer Sotelo announced to the crowd: "Whoever bought me wine tonight, that's on you!")
Although the band made no bones about their heavy Prog-metal intentions for their South African audience, their latest album, "Periphery III; Select Difficulty" (featuring far more melody than past albums), was not ignored. This less abrasive side to the band's sound appeared in the third song of the set, continued with "Marigold" and a melodic guitar interlude played by the three guitarists on their knees in a huddle, with at least one of them being handed a cigarette to smoke on stage.
Then the devil horned hands in the air returned, and Djent dominated, until the last song of the main set, where Sotelo announced "This song is about love. Put your cell-phones away and enjoy the moment. Show some love to the person next to you. This song is called 'Live'." The song that followed was a highlight of the show, combining melody, crunch and a wash of emotion that covered the band and the crowd equally.
As the set ended, superstar drummer Matt Halpern did not leave his kit before the encore, as a drummer generally does – he just carried on playing what appeared to be a mini-solo of his hi-hat/snare chops- prompting Sotelo, on his return, to announce :"It's not his kit but he obviously likes it". Various members of the band showed their absorption of South African culture by announcing "Lekker, my chinas" (Great, my friends), "Don't drive p****d to the robot" (traffic light) and various other choice epithets and swearwords in Afrikaans. At one point, Sotelo descended into the crowd, singing with them for a good five minutes. Two songs were played as encores, and before you knew it, drumsticks and plectrums were being thrown into the crowd, and a keyboard wash waved the band off.
The sound at the beginning of the set started off somewhat muddier than this band must be used to, but it gradually improved as the set went on, and ultimately, became more than acceptable. The lighting was stellar throughout. Songs that appear on Netflix were played, mistakes were made, difficult passages were triumphantly mastered, screaming vocals were meshed with melody, the atmosphere was charged, alcohol was everywhere, and there was even the odour of a distinctly African herb in the air at one point. But one thing is certain – there was a palpable bond between Periphery and their geographically remote South African fans, some of whom flew in from as far afield as Cape Town. The night got quite chilly (in fact downright cold) towards the end, but the crowd, numbering at least two thousand, were going nowhere.
During the mayhem after the gig, I had a brief discussion with Misha Mansoor, who informed me that he is Mauritian and was brought up in Harare, Zimbabwe (as was I) therefore he was no stranger to South Africa. Who knew?
Periphery were welcomed by a passionate and surprisingly large crowd in South Africa, and I have no doubt they will be back.
The organizers of Alberton's "Krank'd Up" festival (Turning Tricks Entertainment) should be congratulated. It was an extremely well-organised event, successful in all respects, world class in quality, and comfortably hosted one of the world's leading Prog-metal bands, to their own stated satisfaction.
A couple of quotes from the band, courtesy Tim Nell, who recorded them:
Spencer: "Not only was this one of the coolest shows we've ever played but the whole experience of just being in South Africa in general – it's one of my favourite trips I've ever done. I've had the time of my life here…Dude, if they bring us back, trust me we'll take the first offer we get to come back."
Mark: "It's a very surreal experience to be here…I think the crowd was into it, we were definitely into it…we'll come back. We're blown away, I have no words. I never thought I would come here. A Prog band…to play in South Africa, which is about as far away from our country as you could ever get. To us that's the ultimate gift. You can't quantify that. It's real."
Well done Krank'd Up and Periphery – the Prog-metal scene in South Africa just got a little better.

Richie Incognito reportedly arrested at funeral home following death of his father
Richie Incognito is once again in trouble with the law, as Pro Football Talk reports he has been arrested and is facing counts of disorderly conduct and threats.
According to Scottsdale, Arizona police, Richie Incognito has been arrested and is facing counts of disorderly conduct and threats. More to come at PFT.
— ProFootballTalk (@ProFootballTalk) August 21, 2018
TMZ Sports also reported on this story, noting Incognito was arrested at a funeral home after the death of his father.
"We're told … the 35-year-old offensive lineman was talking with staffers at the funeral home when he suddenly exploded and began yelling at various people. Cops were called to the scene to respond to an "out of control" Incognito. He was ultimately arrested for disorderly conduct and taken to a nearby station where he was booked and posed for a mug shot."
The former Buffalo Bills, Miami Dolphins and St. Louis Rams starter has had a string of off-field incidents come up recently, including an incident at a gym in which he allegedly threw a dumbbell at another person, prompting an involuntary psychiatric hold.
Throughout his time in the NFL, Incognito's on-field achievements have been overshadowed by his issues off the field, including the bullying scandal involving Jonathan Martin when he was a member of the Dolphins.

Abstract: The work is devoted to development of an original mathematical model of filtration constructed by analogy with the quasigasdynamic system of equations and allowing implementation via explicit numerical methods. The model is generalized to the case of multiphase multicomponent fluid and takes into account possible heat sources. Test predictions of three-phase fluid flows in homogeneous porous medium are performed.
Keywords: fluid flow in a porous medium, quasigasdynamic system of equations, explicit finite difference schemes.

Those of you that were here for last year's #31Nightmares are in for something special today. Not only do we have another returning guest, but he's bringing a Part II of his story from last year.
You may have guessed by now I'm talking about author, Bill Friday.
The angle of the sun was wrong.
Every year around this time, he thought it. To his closest friends, he even said it. The last person he ever said it to was her.
But she wasn't here anymore, so there was no one left he cared enough about to say it to.
By the calendar, it was October the 31st.
Nobody looked at calendars anymore. Life moved at a slower pace than calendars now. You wore warm clothes when the weather was cold, and less than that when it got warm. Life was simpler without calendars. Like life was simpler without cellphones. Sure, it took time to adjust, as the people died and there weren't enough left alive to bury all the bodies. Still, people made the adjustment. The people who were left adjusted to almost everything.
He never thought he would miss people. And by people, he meant all of humanity. And by all of humanity, he meant his friends. And by his friends, he meant everyone who died.
You can never have enough friends, he thought, sometimes. He didn't always believe that. Actually, he believed the opposite. She believed that. But that kind of thinking got ruined for him a couple of years before friends became obsolete. A couple of years before the world went the way of friends.
Right before the world died.
Walking didn't bother him anymore. He used to drive everywhere. He never took public transportation; never had Uber on his phone. The last car he had was a gas guzzler, and he wouldn't drive that very far for fear it was going to break down on the side of the freeway and cost him more to repair than the Blue Book value was worth. He lived a lot of his old life in fear of things beyond his control. Now that everything was beyond his control, he had little left to be afraid of. This wasn't a comic book where the dead got back on their feet to live a zombie version of the Keto Diet. And for some reason, mosquitoes didn't carry whatever killed everybody from corpse to corpse. Time and desiccation did what disbanded municipal services could not. The world was a swift-rotting string of roadside corpses, a lot like abandoned gas guzzlers from a time long ago. Plants grew food, wild, for his risk-reward eating pleasure. If he recognized it, he ate it. If not, well, maybe he'd be another corpse for the roadside. His call, because there was hardly anyone to be the boss of him anymore.
And none of them he would call friends.
The crash of the intruder was loud enough to separate the lone man him from his dream.
It was dark. He only slept in the dark now. Daylight gave him no cover from the random wanderers who wouldn't care that he didn't have anyone to mark the hours that he closed his eyes and, in broken recollections, remembered the life that was.
It was dark. A thin line of orange in his eyes told him where the sun was rising, and where the boot of the unwelcome visitor kicking in his front door made of wooden pallets came from. Then there was pain in the sound of a crack in his ribs, and a thud in the side of his head. His breath left his lungs, and he saw the sunrise no more.
There's no such thing as ghosts, he regularly told himself. If there were, she would still be speaking to him. She'd be telling him he had to get up now, whether he liked it or not. On some days, he liked that hers was the only voice he remembered. On this day, his body felt as broken as his soul, and he just wanted to lie there with his eyes closed, waiting for the end to come. But the end was more fickle than he told himself she had ever been.
The pain in three broken ribs woke him from concussion sleep. The sun was up and not helping the throb behind his eyes. A brief look around told him that the wooden pallets he had made shelter from were gone, along with his gear. No pack, no food, no booze, and definitely no water. Whenever it was that he got mule-kicked to sleep, it could've been days by now, didn't matter anymore, it was all gone.
He laid his head back down and wished himself never to wake up again.
He knew he was a ghost because, after a lifetime of seeing no need at all for god or the church, he lived behind a church, on the edge of a graveyard – how ironic on so many levels, being a ghost because… graveyard, and an atheist ghost because… church – but they let him stay as the church folk looked right through him like the rest of the dying did. And they allowed him to eat left-overs from the shiny dumpster next to the boarded-up back door. He even slept behind it when the wind blew extra cold some nights, and his overflowing morning newspapers couldn't seem to keep the wind out of his ghost-self bones.
Because this is what ghosts do.
But in a world where everyone is dead, do the ghosts even matter?
"That was rude. And wrong.
Thank you for having me around for another year of 31 Nightmares. I love this time of year for so many reasons. THIS is definitely one! You're the best!

McDonald's Corporation (MCD) Sales Struggle On Asian and European Weaknesses – Burger King Worldwide Inc (BKW)
Published on February 21, 2013 at 10:12 am by The Motley Fool in News
McDonald's Corporation (NYSE:MCD) reported a drop in January sales as it experienced declines in the Asian and European markets, though the U.S. same-store sales showed marginal improvement of 0.9% in sales. The fast food chain had already warned of a fall in the same-restaurant sales, which plunged 1.9% in January as the Asia Pacific, Middle Eastern, and African market witnessed a severe 9.5% sales decline. The Oak Brook company saw a similar fall in Europe, where sales decreased 2.1% compared to a 7.3% growth in the prior year period. The fall came as the Japanese market remained weak while the Chinese economy's appetite declined on account of supply chain concerns. Let's take a look at the situation.
Reasons behind falling figures
Japan, which is the largest Asian market with 3,200 outlets, reported a 17% drop in same-store sales for the month. Demand slumped in this market as consumers reduced their spending since the 2011 tsunami and prefer to eat at home. In addition, Japan's third recession in the past five years is also dampening consumer confidence, resulting in sluggish demand. In fact, McDonald's is shutting down stores here after suffering a fall in comparable-store sales for 10 months in a row. However, the company is undertaking steps to customize its offerings and stress staples like the Big Mac and breakfast instead of focusing on its Big America Series promotion.
China, the next biggest Asian market, faced some issues with regards to food safety, which led to reduced sales for the food giant. The Chinese food safety agencies recently conducted an investigation through which they discovered that some poultry suppliers of both McDonald's and archrival Yum! Brands, Inc. (NYSE:YUM)' KFC outlets used inappropriate levels of antibiotics in their chicken. Though both companies terminated their agreement with these problematic units to ensure consumer food safety, that has adversely affected the sales. Yum! estimates its sales will plunge as much as 25% in the first quarter of the year.
Europe, which is the biggest market for McDonald's, saw a drop in customer traffic where business saw lackluster growth. Though the UK and Russian market posted good results, they were dragged down by the dull performance in France, Germany, and other markets. Analysts forecast a marginal improvement of 0.1%. However, the company continues to stay focused and expects the situation to improve.
In contrast, the US market saw sales increase, as the company had put in the effort to make some changes in the menu card. The world's top hamburger chain also kept its restaurants open on Christmas in its second largest market. Fast food restaurant chains are targeting budget sensitive consumers in the domestic economy. McDonald's got back to advertising its Dollar Menu and added the Grilled Onion Cheddar burger to its offering to boost customer traffic in stores. It is testing new items like the chicken wings to attract more numbers and increase sales. Fellow competitor Yum! is experimenting with new items such as the Cantina Bell steak burrito and loaded grillers.

1- Credibility: The author uses successful business people who had to start out just like many of us want to. Successful people may fail sometimes but they never quit. They test out, start in garages, their kitchens, etc. We have to start somewhere. I like how this is presented and the reference to "Monday Blues." Don't be afraid to start small.
2- Inspiration: We will always be stuck in our current position if we don't get out and try something new. This resonated with me because of where my life is headed currently. It's applicable to everyone. He also provides a five step guide to help you figure out how to start your business or dream. He speaks honestly about not having the support of everyone. It's okay. Dust yourself off and get to work anyway doing something you love.
3. Although the model presented in some chapters reference big business brands, the idea of an exit strategy can apply to someone wanting their own firm, practice, home based business and so forth. Don't settle for the 9-5 when you know there is more that you can do. The author also talks about social media marketing and building a brand business. In the age of technology, it is important to not just rely on word of mouth customers. If your product is solely online, a social media presence will be worth it based on the algorithms for ads and such. Instagram is also great for hashtags and ads. I also like Twitter but these are just the networks I use.
4. Research is important. Whether you need to secure funding or need to save for your home based business, do what you need to do in order to build. Make sure you bring together the best team possible for your brand, should you need one.
Overall, there is so much to take away from this book, whether you have a bis business plan concept or small home based business. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to take a leap into profiting from their passion. It will be worth the read.

Accepted foam materials include EPS, XPS (Extruded Polystyrene), PSP (Polystyrene Paper), EPE (Expanded Polyethylene), and EPP (Expanded Polypropylene). In order to provide these foam recycling capabilities, Fairfax decided to purchase their very own densifer. According to Tankersley with their new equipment they are able to efficiently process 400 lbs. of foam an hour. After the foam is compressed by the equipment, the blocks are purchased by buyers in China, who then uses the material to create picture frames.
In order to recycle your foam for free, the foam must be clean and separated prior to dropping it off at the facility. If the foam is mixed with any other materials like cardboard, plastic, or green waste, there will be a standard landfill cost of $30 per ton.
Approved foam products are accepted at 7301 East Speedway (end of Prudence Road) Monday through Friday, 7:00 am to 4:00 pm, and Saturday 7:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. (closed Sunday). For photos of accepted materials, visit www.TheFairfaxCompanies.com. If you have any questions please call 520-290-8588.
Have you ever wondered how you can start recycling polystyrene foam in your community? Check out these recycling tips that explain the foam recycling process. The process is seamless, and can leverage a city's existing curbside recycling infrastructure. As more cities and organizations adopt foam #6 recycling programs, the demand for processors, brokers, pelletizers and manufacturers will grow.

Stocks Rebound After Manchin Walks Back Refusal To Support Biden $2,000 Stimulus Plan
Update (1400ET): After the sudden market selloff following news that Manchin would block Biden's $2,000 stimulus checks, it appears that Manchin has gotten the tap on the shoulder, as Bloomberg reports:
MANCHIN TO EVALUATE BIDEN AID PLANS WHEN TIME COMES: AIDE
His full statement is below:
NBC reporter Sahil Kapur chimes in and tweets that "Manchin's spokesperson tells me he isn't drawing a red line against $2K checks, that he's open to hearing Biden admin's case for new payments but believes vaccine distribution should be a higher priority; he does prefer relief that's targeted to those who've lost their job."
He also elaborates that his "absolutely not" quote was meant as a response to whether $2,000 checks should be the #1 priority now; he's not with Schumer on that part, but doesn't promise to vote against more direct cash either."
As Manchin's office tells it, his "absolutely not" quote was meant as a response to whether $2,000 checks should be the #1 priority now; he's not with Schumer on that part, but doesn't promise to vote against more direct cash either.
— Sahil Kapur (@sahilkapur) January 8, 2021
And so the first blue wave block has been successfully neutralized. And realizing that this is just the first case of political theater for the new admin, stocks have promptly bounced back:
Wall Street – which is now certain that the Democratic sweep will lead to trillions in new stimulus (Goldman yesterday revised its outlook to expect as much as $750BN in fresh stimulus as soon as next month, the first of many) – has to put the champagne on ice (if only for a few days until the backroom negotiations are completed) because as the WaPo reports, "Biden's plans for a major new economic relief package boosting stimulus payments to $2,000 have run into possibly fatal opposition from his own party Friday as Sen. Joe Manchin III (D-W.Va.) said he would "absolutely not" support a new round of checks."
Manchin, described by WaPo as "a moderate who will hold great sway in a Senate split 50-50 between Democrats and Republicans" made his views known even as the Biden team worked to develop a coronavirus relief package that would include new stimulus checks, extended unemployment benefits, and much more. The only problem: Biden did not expect one of his own to turn against him in what appears to be the first reversal of the blue wave.
Biden has made new stimulus checks a central promise, specifically telling Georgia voters that they would be getting $2,000 payments if Democrats won Senate elections in the state this week. Little did Georgia's Democratic voters know that one of their own Senators was about to crash that plan, even though following the Georgia wins, Chuck Schumer also pledged that the $2,000 checks would be an early priority.
The problem is that with a slim margin of just one vote in their majority – one which assumes Kamala Harris will be the Senate tiebreaker – Biden and Schumer can't lose even a single Democratic vote if they attempt to move legislation under special Senate rules that allow bills to pass with a simple majority, instead of the 60 vote margin generally required.
Well, Manchin has emerged as just that vote.
As the WaPo notes, "Manchin's opposition to new stimulus payments could kill Biden's proposal altogether, or force him to reshape it dramatically. And it offers an early preview of the challenges Biden will face in governing over the next four years even with his party controlling both chambers of Congress."
"Absolutely not. No. Getting people vaccinated, that's job No. 1," Manchin said in an interview with The Washington Post when asked if he would support a new round of checks.
"How is the money that we invest now going to help us best to get jobs back and get people employed? And I can't tell you that sending another check out is gonna do that to a person that's already got a check," Manchin added.
"You know, we have a difference of opinion," Manchin said regarding Schumer's promise to move quickly on the checks. "That's the beauty of our whole caucus. We have a difference of opinion on that."
That may be just the start. Biden is also expected to push for additional funding for vaccine distribution, as well as money that will help states and cities, as part of his initial package. Goldman expects the next Democratic stimulus package to amount to $750BN, including $300bn for additional stimulus payments, $200bn for fiscal aid to state and local governments, $150bn to extend both broader eligibility for unemployment benefits and a top-up at an amount that gradually fades overtime, and $100bn in other spending, as shown in the chart below.
However, without a united Democratic front, Biden will need to attract at least one Republican vote for his proposal and while some Republicans have supported $2,000 stimulus payments, there is scant GOP support for other elements of Biden's emerging plan, such as extending unemployment benefits. Unless of course Mitt Romney "shocks" everyone and officially flips to the Democrats.
So is this the end of the Blue Wave?
Probably not: one can imagine that the West Virginian – who has now emerged as the most important person in the Senate – will be swayed if and when Schumer throws a few metric tons of pork at him and his constituents. But for now, it appears that what until just moments ago was a guaranteed blue wave is suddenly crashing on the (metaphorical) shores of landlocked West Virginia, and stocks have finally woken up to the new – if temporary – reality.

The Media Resource Control Protocol Version 2 (MRCPv2) allows client hosts to control media service resources such as speech synthesizers, recognizers, verifiers, and identifiers residing in servers on the network. MRCPv2 is not a "stand-alone" protocol -- it relies on other protocols, such as the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), to coordinate MRCPv2 clients and servers and manage sessions between them, and the Session Description Protocol (SDP) to describe, discover, and exchange capabilities. It also depends on SIP and SDP to establish the media sessions and associated parameters between the media source or sink and the media server. Once this is done, the MRCPv2 exchange operates over the control session established above, allowing the client to control the media processing resources on the speech resource server.

Standard Chartered Bank to give $200m loan to Pakistan
Source: Tribune Published in Business & Economy on Friday, August 03, 2018
ISLAMABAD: The Standard Chartered Bank will give a $200-million commercial loan to Pakistan to help the country finance its liquefied natural gas (LNG) imports, as Islamabad continues to weigh options to meet gross external financing needs.
With the fresh facility, SCB-London's exposure to Pakistan has increased to over $1.1 billion in the last two years, said officials in the Ministry of Finance and Economic Affairs. They said the new loan has been secured at a 12-month floating London Interbank Offered Rate (Libor) plus 1.4%. This brings the total cost at the current Libor rate to over 4.2%.
SCB Pakistan declined to comment on the terms of the deal.
Officials in the ministry said the agreement has a provision of additional financing.
Earlier, in fiscal year 2017-18, SCB-London had provided a $200-million commercial loan in three tranches received between November and January. The last $200 million loan will mature next month.
The fresh facility will be used to finance LNG imports, which are growing after the fuel-based power plants started commercial operations. In the last fiscal year, Pakistan imported $2.5 billion worth of LNG to run power plants, which was 87% higher than the preceding year, according to the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics (PBS).
Pakistan trying to ink fresh LNG deals at lower rates
Last week, China also agreed to extend $2 billion in loans to Pakistan to offset pressure from foreign exchange reserves. The Islamic Development Bank (IDB) has also activated $4.5 billion worth three-year facility for oil imports. These two facilities have helped take the pressure off the rupee with the currency recovering some of its value against the US dollar in the inter-bank market.
During the week ending 27 July, SBP's gross official reserves increased by $1.339 billion to $10.35 billion due to official inflows, the central bank reported on Thursday.
However, these measures provide short-term relief, and are not sufficient to address overall financing needs of the country, estimated in the range of $25 billion to $28 billion.
In an interview with Bloomberg, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Asad Umar, the man tipped to be finance minister, said the decision to overcome external financing challenges needs to be taken in the next six weeks. He listed the International Monetary Fund (IMF), friendly countries and issuance of diaspora bonds among options to bolster depleting reserves.
Even after the arrival of Chinese aid and activation of the IDB's facility, Pakistan's external financing gap is in the range of $8 billion to $9 billion for this fiscal year, said officials in the finance ministry.
Caretaker Finance Minister Dr Shamshad Akhtar on Thursday said that work on IMF programme was under way, although Pakistan has not yet formally approached the Fund. She said that the caretaker government would hand over the plan to the incoming government.
Unlike the last programme, Pakistan's chances of getting an IMF bailout on favourable terms are not very high due to explicit opposition by the United States. US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has already warned against the IMF bailout being used to repay Chinese debt, extended in large part due to CPEC, to Pakistan.
The caretaker finance minister reiterated that there was no relation of CPEC with the IMF programme.
She said that there was no immediate pressure on the government for loan repayments, as some major debt and interest payments were due in the second quarter of this fiscal year.
Third LNG-based power plant completed
To a question, the minister said that the value of dollar-rupee parity is decided by market forces and it is difficult to forecast the exact value.
Shamshad said that Pakistan was facing challenges of acute macroeconomic instability and fiscal deficit. The country needs strict financial discipline and consistent policies to overcome this challenge.
She stated that the government needs to take on board experts and modernise statistical data production services, which would ultimately help in effective policymaking and rationalising goals.
Umar said on Wednesday that the PTI would set up two consultative forums – an Economic Advisory Council and a Business Advisory Council. He said the prime minister will himself chair the EAC meeting.

Apple adds more television providers to Single Sign-On in new iOS 10.2 beta
Submitted by Marshall Walker on December 6, 2016 - 2:43pm
More television providers have been added to Apple's Single Sign-On in the fifth iOS 10.2 beta. CenturyLink Prism, Hawaiian Telecom, MetroCast, and GTA are now available in the new TV Provider section of the Settings app on iOS devices. The four new providers join DirecTV, Dish, Hotwire, Sling TV, who singed up to support the new feature since it was originally announced. While it is safe to assume Apple will be adding more providers in the future, some major companies, such as Comcast, are still holding out, and may eventually decide not to support the new feature at all.
Apple has been focusing on improving its television and movie streaming capabilities with the upcoming launch of tvOS 10.1 and iOS 10.2. A lot of television services offer individual apps on Apple TV and iOS devices, but they all require users to sign in individually to access each app's content. Single Sign-On allows users to authenticate only once on supported apps across multiple devices.
Apple has also introduced a new TV app to iOS devices so users can easily access all their purchased media through one hub. The new app features a Watch Now section that displays content, such as newly released television episodes, from all of your connected apps. It also includes a Library with all purchased movies and series, and a Store for making additional purchases through iTunes.
Both iOS devices and the Apple TV will be more user friendly when tvOS 10.1 and iOS 10.2 are finally launched to the general public, presumably in December. Apple today has added universal search support to both the AMC and The Hallmark Channel, bringing the overall list to around 40 supported channels in the US.
Single Sign-On and universal search are two of the new features in tvOS that finally put Apple TV on the track to be the product Apple always promised it would be. The new additions should also help holiday sales of the set-top box.
The fourth-generation Apple TV is available starting at $149 through apple.com. It ships with Apple's redesigned Siri remote, Siri support, and its own App Store for purchasing games and third party apps.

It soon moved on to the gaming industry, creating so-called Alternate Reality Games (ARG).These are games that, based on the Internet as a main hub, use(d) multiple other technological platforms like telephones, email and real offline mail to tell and simultaneously create different parts of the game's story in those medial habitats relevant to the players. So not just transmedia telling, but transmedia engagement that requires interaction from every gamer in order to bring the game's plot to the next level. In other words: "Players interact directly with characters in the game, solve plot-based challenges and puzzles, and collaborate as a community to analyze the story and coordinate real-life and online activities."

The Toronto-based Interactive Advertising Bureau of Canada has appointed Adam Kardash to the position of special counsel. Kardash is the head of the national privacy and information management practice group at law firm Heenan Blaikie, as well as managing director of its AccessPrivacy group. Kardash and a staff from Heenan Blaikie will lead the bureau's communications efforts concerning privacy and marketing.

The multi-sensory theater '4DX' meets with the multi-projection system 'ScreenX' to more vividly display the concert of the girl group 'Twice.' On the 7th, CJ CGV releases 'TWICELAND,' the concert movie of Twice celebrating its 3rd anniversary of their debut, at the 4DX with ScreenX theater in CGV Yongsan I-Park Mall.
'TWICELAND' vividly conveys the scenes from the live concert 'TWICELAND ZONE2: FANTASY PARK' which was Twice's second tour and was held in May at Jamsil Arena as well as interviews with the group members. It also presents their international tours in Singapore, Bangkok and Jakarta as well as behind-the-scenes. This is a collaboration of JYP Entertainment and CGV ScreenX and the first alternative content released at the integrated theater. In addition to the visual enjoyment of ScreenX, the motion effects, as well as environmental effects of 4DX such as bubbles, snow, wind and fragrances, added even more pleasure.
'TWICELAND' 4DX with ScreenX gives off excitement from the start. The scent of grass and wind effects are added to the movement of the chair as if taking a rider to the concert hall, and the three-sided screens display Twice greeting the fans in a green garden. Then the movie vividly presents the exciting performances of Twice singing 17 songs including the hits 'Like OOH-AHH,' 'CHEER UP,' 'TT,' 'KNOCK KNOCK,' and 'SIGNAL.' The audience can also enjoy getting the first chance to hear the song 'Be As ONE' that is to be released on December 12 in the third album.
The synergy with ScreenX to maximize the effects of a concert movie gives a sense of realism and presence to the audience by showing the entire stage at the center and close-up images of the artists' faces on the left and right. The actual concert was filmed with the ScreenX camera so that the audience can enjoy various angles of the concert displayed on the three sides. And the scene that shows the audience filled with Candy Bongs from the artists' view is also displayed on the screens like a panorama.
The dance moves for each song are also implemented in the 4DX motion effect so that the audience can feel as if they are literally dancing along. The 4DX bubble effect used when Twice is making an appearance truly elevates the fantastic mood. The air shot effect comes on when the firecrackers are set off onstage, adding more vividness to the experience.
4DX with ScreenX also offers the sing-along version of the movie. The audience can sing along while shaking the Twice official light stick Candy Bong and feel as if they are actually enjoying the live concert.
4DX with ScreenX is the world's first integrated technology theater developed by CGV, combining the multi-sensory theater 4DX that provides various effects for different scenes of the movie with the multi-projection system ScreenX that displays images on three sides. In April, this theater won a Silver Award for 'Media and Visual Communication' entertainment at the 2018 Edison Awards of the US, which recognizes new innovators.
