I'm so blessed that I was able to work with Dr. Carcamo for the sleeve procedure!
I was unhappy, uncomfortable & just plain unhealthy before the surgery. I had tried every diet in the book & did not have much luck on my own. In only 6 months, I've been able to lose almost 80 pounds & only have 20 more to go. I couldn't be more happy with the entire staff, Dr. Carcamo & the experience as a whole. Thank you for helping me get my life back!

This is a simple package to break a UK postcode into its constituent parts.
It's really just a simple wrapper around this regex:
`(^[A-Z]{1,2})([0-9]{1,2}[A-Z]{0,1})\\s?([0-9])([A-Z]{2}$) `

This repository just adds some testing around it.

UK postcodes can be broken into parts thus:

Postcode	Outward code	Inward code

 	Area	District	Sector	Unit

M1 1AA  	M 	 1	1	AA

M60 1NW 	M 	60	1	NW

CR2 6XH 	CR	 2	6	XH

DN55 1PT	DN	55	1	PT

W1P 1BB 	W 	1P	1	BB

EC1A 1BB	EC	1A	1	BB

# Installation
`Install-Package PostcodeParser.UK`

# Usage
`Postcode.Destructure("EC1A 1BB")` will return the breakdown per the table above.
It will throw an `ArgumentException` if the postcode is not in a valid format.

`Postcode.IsValid("EC1A 1BB")` will return `true` if the format of the postcode is valid, otherwise it will return `false`.

The space in the middle of the postcode is optional. However, only zero or one spaces are accepted; more than one space is invalid. Similarly, leading or trailing spaces are invalid.

The parser has been tested with the full list of UK postcodes as downloaded from https://www.freemaptools.com/download-uk-postcode-lat-lng.htm. The BruteParse console app in the test folder can be used to test this.

# Performance
The Regex is compiled the first time you call either method, meaning there is a delay of a few tens of ms on the first call. Subsequent calls should perform in sub-ms time.

If you run the BruteParse app on the full 1.7 million UK postcodes, it should complete in a few seconds.

# Not supported postcodes
There are certain special cases as outlined in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postcodes_in_the_United_Kingdom#Special_cases that are not supported, e.g.:
- Overseas Territories
- British Forces Post Office (BFPO)
- Girobank

PRs to add support more than welcome. Part of the problem is to figure out how to parse them. For example, Ascension Island used "ASCN 1ZZ" and it is not clear how or if you should split "ASCN". If anyone can find the specification for that, please let me know. Anguilla and Virgin Islands, for example, compound the problem by having different layouts altogether.

However, the following special cases *are* supported.
- The Crown Dependencies, i.e. the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands (Jersey and Guernsey (which includes Alderney, Sark, and some other islands)), as they follow the standard rules
- Channel Islands seem to follow the standard rules so are not really a special case (?)
- Santa Claus / Father Christmas (XM4 5HQ)

Lafourche Parish Sheriff Craig Webre is asking residents to be cautious when hiring contractors as detectives are investigating multiples instances of alleged contractor fraud.
To avoid becoming a victim, never make a large down payment to a contractor prior to any work beginning. If required to make any down payment, it should be minimal. Beware of a contractor requiring a large down payment in order to purchase materials to begin your project. You should make payments as work is completed, but never pay for incomplete work, and hold final payment until all work is completed. Never pay in cash.
Before hiring, verify a contractor is licensed by using the "contractor search" on www.LAcontractor.org. Only work with licensed contractors, and ask your contractor for three references in writing. Speak to the references and ask if they were satisfied with the contractor's work and whether the contractor was on schedule.
Plan your project. Detail what you want to have done and who you will need to complete it. No two projects are the same and may require a specially licensed contractor.
Get two or three estimates. When comparing estimates, don't just compare the overall cost. Look at the cost and quality of materials, and be sure it includes total price and cost of materials.
Require a written contract. The contract should detail the description of work, material, and equipment to be installed. Be sure there is a timeline for payments and completion of work.
Monitor the work. Check in regularly on the progress of the work. Any and all permits should be displayed by the contractor while work is being done.
In addition to these tips, investigators say you should keep a file of all papers and documents pertaining to the project. This includes the contract, any written changes, all bills and invoices, receipts of payments, and all correspondence with your contractor. This should also include photos of the job in progress.
Citizens should beware of any contractor using scare tactics or high-pressure sales pitches, and door-to-door solicitations. Citizens should also be especially wary of contractors who demand cash, unusually large down payments, and verbal agreements.

La  correspond usuellement au débarquement en 1492 sur l'actuel continent américain (aussi appelé ) d'un groupe d'une centaine de personnes commandé par le navigateur Christophe Colomb et mandaté par la reine Isabelle  de Castille, dans l'idée d'atteindre les Indes orientales par la mer, ignorant qu'un continent se trouve sur la route. La  est donc celle, documentée, du continent américain par les Européens de la Renaissance. En effet, vers l'an 1000, d'autres Européens, des Vikings menés par Leif Erikson ont touché le continent à partir du Groenland, établissant une colonie nommée Vinland, à l'embouchure du fleuve Saint-Laurent (Terre-Neuve), sans que leur expédition soit connue à l'époque du projet de Christophe Colomb de rejoindre l'Inde par la mer.

Durant la nuit du 11 au , la petite flotte menée par Colomb aborde ainsi l'île de Guanahani (actuel San Salvador, Caraïbes) avec deux caravelles (La Pinta et La Niña) et une caraque, La Santa María. Ce moment marque la rencontre de deux sociétés qui avaient quasiment évolué indépendamment l'une de l'autre pendant environ , après la disparition du pont terrestre de la Béringie.

Le nom , qui se généralise à partir du début du , est inventé par le cartographe allemand Martin Waldseemüller en compagnie du cartographe alsacien Mathias Ringmann et apparaît dans le planisphère qu'ils éditent en 1507. Il est donné en l'honneur de l'explorateur italien Amerigo Vespucci qui est l'un des premiers Européens à comprendre qu'il s'agit d'un continent différent de l'Asie.

Rapidement, les Européens ont commencé à explorer et à coloniser le continent au détriment de ses habitants autochtones nommés  par les premiers explorateurs occidentaux : à la fin du , on ne compte plus que  sur les 2 à  estimés au  sur le territoire des États-Unis actuels. Certains estiment le nombre d'autochtones vivant sur l'ensemble du continent lors de la découverte de l'Amérique à .

Controverses sur la formulation : « découverte » ou « conquête »

Les expressions  ainsi que  sont usuelles en Europe, mais sont controversées en Amérique, notamment du point de vue des autochtones, selon qui ce continent n'était ni « à découvrir » ni « nouveau », car il était habité depuis des milliers d'années.

Ces expressions sont donc accusées d'eurocentrisme par les populations d'origine amérindiennes, par .

Certains précisent que la découverte de l'Amérique a été en réalité le fait des premiers chasseurs paléolithiques arrivés sur ce continent il y a au moins 33 000 ans.

Toutes ces réflexions ont amené certains historiens à promouvoir des expressions plus « politiquement correctes » ou neutres telles que  ou .

On peut aussi utiliser l'expression  pour évoquer le processus de colonisation du Nouveau Monde après sa « découverte » en 1492.

L'expression « découverte de l'Amérique » reste cependant solidement attestée en Europe, étant donné qu'elle signifie (implicitement) .

Contacts européens précolombiens

Christophe Colomb () n'est pas le premier Européen à avoir atteint l'Amérique. À la colonisation viking des Amériques attestée du , s'ajoutent des contacts plus ou moins probables et précis de pêcheurs de morue (du Portugal et/ou des Açores) vers Terre-Neuve, d'éventuelles expéditions portugaises et danoises qui forment les contacts trans-océaniques précolombiens.

C'est cependant l'expédition de Christophe Colomb en 1492 qui a marqué le début de l'exploration, de la découverte et de la colonisation de ces terres. L'identification de ces nouvelles terres comme continent permit les échanges intercontinentaux avec l'Amérique, bouleversa les routes commerciales existantes vers l'Asie, ainsi que les équilibres politiques et économiques, et les écosystèmes à échelle planétaire. L'importance et la radicalité de l'événement en font le passage symbolique du Moyen Âge aux Temps modernes dans l'historiographie occidentale.

Les voyages de Christophe Colomb

Christophe Colomb est le premier navigateur dont les voyages transatlantiques sont attestés et documentés de façon détaillée.

Le projet de Colomb : atteindre l'Asie par l'Atlantique
Installé au Portugal à partir de 1476, à une époque où les navigateurs portugais explorent les côtes de l'Afrique et espèrent trouver un passage vers l'océan Indien afin d'atteindre les Indes, c'est-à-dire l'Asie orientale (Inde, Chine, Japon), Christophe Colomb élabore un projet alternatif : atteindre les Indes en naviguant vers l'ouest, à travers l'océan Atlantique, la « mer Océane ».

Son projet est rejeté en 1484 par le roi de Portugal Jean II. Colomb se tourne alors vers les Rois catholiques, Isabelle de Castille et Ferdinand d'Aragon, et émigre en 1485 en Castille. Après une première entrevue en janvier 1486, il doit encore attendre six ans pour que les Rois catholiques signent les capitulations de Santa Fe en avril 1492, trois mois après la prise de Grenade () et la fin de la Reconquista. Plusieurs conseillers royaux ont joué un rôle important, notamment Luis de Santangel.

Les capitulations de Santa Fe (avril 1492)
Le contrat lui alloue trois navires (les deux caravelles La Pinta et La Niña, et la caraque La Santa María) et leurs équipages () pour six mois. La caravelle, type de navire inventé par les Portugais, est plus légère, rapide et maniable que la caraque ; la caravelle a également un coût d'armement relativement faible.

L'expédition est financée, grâce notamment aux énormes amendes et taxes prélevées auprès des Juifs et musulmans du royaume, qui alimentaient les caisses du Trésor royal et à l'aide pécuniaire de Santangel - lequel recevra la première lettre de l'explorateur, datée du .

Le premier voyage (août 1492-mars 1493)
Partie le 3 août de Palos de la Frontera, l'escadre fait une escale aux Canaries jusqu'au 6 septembre, puis part vers l'ouest et atteint le 12 octobre l'île de Guanahani où Colomb entre en contact avec les indigènes, qu'il nomme « Indiens » (Indios), croyant être aux Indes. Il s'agit probablement de l'île San Salvador des Bahamas mais ce point est sujet à débat. Le 28 octobre, il découvre Cuba et le 4 décembre, atteint l'île d'Hispaniola (Saint-Domingue), où il s'installe et entre de nouveau en contact avec les indigènes.

Le 25 décembre, la Santa Maria s'échoue de façon irrémédiable. Colomb décide de rentrer avec les deux caravelles, laissant sur place  dans un fortin (fort Navidad) construit avec le bois de la caraque. Il repart au début de janvier et atteint Palos de la Frontera le , ramenant entre autres six indigènes pour attester de sa rencontre avec les « Indiens ». La cour se trouvant alors à Barcelone, son voyage à travers l'Espagne suscite une immense curiosité et il est accueilli comme un grand d'Espagne par les Rois catholiques : il est désormais « amiral de la mer Océane, vice-roi et gouverneur des Indes » et ses deux fils, Diego et Fernand, deviennent pages à la cour.

Très rapidement, un second voyage est mis sur pied, avec dix-sept navires et des centaines de participants : il s'agit maintenant de coloniser l'île d'Hispaniola.

Les voyages ultérieurs

Au cours de ce voyage commencé en septembre 1493, Colomb découvre La Désirade, Marie-Galante, la Dominique, la Basse-Terre de la Guadeloupe, Montserrat, Saint-Martin et Saint-Barthélemy. Arrivé à Hispaniola, il découvre que les  du fort de la Navidad sont tous morts.

Après avoir organisé, en tant que gouverneur de l'île, les débuts de la colonisation de l'île (fondation de La Isabela, première ville espagnole fondée en Amérique), il repart en exploration et atteint Porto Rico, puis la Jamaïque. Mais à Hispaniola, qu'il a confiée à son frère Giacomo, les choses ne vont pas bien du tout, plusieurs officiers décident de repartir en Espagne, où ils critiquent Colomb à la cour. Il décide de rentrer en mars 1496 et parvient à regagner la confiance des souverains. Mais il a un peu plus de mal à organiser son troisième voyage, qui ne repart qu'en 1498.

Au début de ce voyage, il débarque sur le continent sud-américain au niveau de l'actuel Venezuela et passe également à Saint-Vincent, Grenade, Trinité, Margarita. Rentré à Hispaniola, il est confronté à une situation très difficile : les colons espagnols sont mécontents, les Indiens se révoltent, etc. De nouveau, les critiques pleuvent à la cour et un inspecteur est envoyé en 1500, Francisco de Bobadilla.

La disgrâce (1500) et le dernier voyage (1502-1504)
Celui-ci estime que la situation à Hispaniola est catastrophique par la faute de Colomb et il le met en état d'arrestation. Il est immédiatement renvoyé en Espagne, où les Rois catholiques le libèrent, mais en ne lui laissant que le titre d'amiral, le jugeant incompétent, voire dangereux, en matière d'administration. Ils lui interdisent même de faire escale à Hispaniola durant le quatrième voyage.

Durant ce voyage (1502-1504), qui est donc seulement d'exploration, Colomb navigue le long des côtes du Veragua et du Panamá. Mais sa flotte se détériore gravement et est contrainte de faire escale à la Jamaïque, où les navigateurs vont rester une année, attendant que le gouverneur d'Hispaniola (qui déteste Colomb) veuille bien envoyer des navires de secours. Colomb rentre en Espagne en 1504, très affaibli par cette épreuve, et meurt en 1506. Son fils Diego est nommé peu après gouverneur d'Hispaniola.

Colomb et le Nouveau Monde
Persuadé d'avoir atteint l'Extrême-Orient, il est mort sans savoir qu'il avait découvert un continent inconnu des Européens. On attribue à son compagnon florentin Amerigo Vespucci d'avoir identifié ce monde comme un nouveau continent, et non comme l'extrémité orientale de l'Asie.

Colomb, navigateur au service de l'Espagne, est le premier Européen à avoir découvert et revendiqué les terres qui furent peu après identifiées comme un nouveau continent : l'Amérique. Cette revendication entraîna la négociation du traité de Tordesillas signé le , qui établit le partage du Nouveau Monde entre l'Espagne et le Portugal sous l'égide du pape Alexandre VI, et la ligne de partage des terres découvertes ou conquises selon le méridien localisé à  () à l'ouest des îles du Cap-Vert — méridien qui se situerait aujourd'hui à 46° 37' ouest. En conséquence, les terres découvertes ou conquises peu après, du Brésil et d'Amérique du Nord, passent respectivement sous souveraineté portugaise et espagnole jusqu'à la contestation de l'autorité papale par les autres puissances maritimes d'Europe.

Commémorations de la découverte colombienne
La découverte de l'Amérique est commémorée en Espagne et dans les pays hispanophones le 12 octobre sous le nom de Jour de l'hispanité ou de Jour de la Race. Le Jour de Christophe Colomb est célébré le deuxième lundi du mois d'octobre dans plusieurs pays d'Amérique.

I found the process to be uneccisarily difficult and kind of pointless, plus the smell was a little strong and unpleasant for me. BUT my hair did feel super soft for a few days after and i really think it moisturised it well so overall not too bad!
recommended by my dermatologist, I have combination skin and this is perfect for a gentle cleanse that doesn't leave my skin tight, dry or flaky. It seems to reduce redness and unevenness, and makes my skin feel soft and healthy. I use it then immediately after apply Vanicream lite lotion and that routine really reduces my breakouts.
my dermatologist reccomeded this to me for sensitive skin prone to small pimples under my skin, especially on my forehead. It goes on smooth and grease free, and i put it on every night and morning. It is free of dyes and scent, and it really evens out my skin and provides balance.
sweet, clean smell. I use this as a more day to day perfume rather than for special occasions, since the scent is light and sweet without being overbearing. Lasts probably 5 hours, but i can still smell it on my wrists by the end of the day. I have the perfume bottle and the roll on for when I need an on the go refresher.

Today we travel to Taif, a city authorized for non-Muslim travelers in the province of Mecca. This city, located at almost 2000 meters above sea level, is popular for its mild climate, so every summer the Saudi Government moves to this point -not as hot as Riyadh-.

When working on HANA projects, we often run into questions related to HANA DB performance; How many concurrent users can the current appliance handled; What will be the performance during the peak time when we have many concurrent users writing and reading from the same table; How many rows can i insert per second; What is the best way to partition my table , and so ..
JMeter is a very good tool to get started on some of those performance test plans.I should mention that the performance test numbers are very subjective and depends on many factors such as, the number of columns in a table, the data type of the columns in the table, number of partitions in a table, network band width between your client and the HANA DB, number of rows in the table ( This might impact the delta merge time ) and many such factors.
In this document i would like to take though a step-by-step process of creating a test plans for two very common methods of accessing HANA; JDBC and ODATA.
In the first part we will take a look at the steps that are required to build the test plan using JDBC, and in the second part we will look at steps required to create test plan using ODATA.
Before we get started, you need the below two things to build a test plan using JDBC.
You need HANA JDBC JAR file. You can find the JAR( ngdbc.jar) file in HANA client.
Unzip the JMeter installation file that you have download from the JMeter site and copy the ngdbc.jar file that you have copied from the HANA client to the ./lib folder. JMeter will automatically pickup any .jar files placed in the lib folder ( Only .jar files are picked up).
We are going to follow the below steps to create a test plan.
First step for any test plan is to create a thread group.
Thread group configuration will control the number of threads JMeter will use to execute the test.
Test plan -> Add -> Threads -> Thread Group.
Number of threads is 10 and the Loop count is 1000, so the number of queries will be 10 * 1000 .
Ramp-up period is 1, so all the threads will start at the same time, there is no delay between the threads.
and database connection details in this section.
Variable Name is very important, it uniquely identifies the configuration.
We will use the same Variable name in the JDBC sampler.
You can change the Max number of connections and the Pool Timeout based on your requirement.
This step is optional. You can define Counter or variables optionally.
You can use these later in your SQL statements to dynamically send the data.
We are going to use this config element as a sequence when we insert the data.
REFERENCE NAME is particularly important as we will be referring the counter by this name.
Next step is to add a JDBC sampler. The sampler would let you send JDBC request to a database.
Right click on the Thread group, Add -> Sampler -> JDBC Request .
The variable name is the same name we have used for the variable name field in the JDBC connection.
In the above case we are inserting data into the ORDERS table.
We are using ORDER_ID as a counter to increment the value for the ORDER_ID column.
are listeners that show a tabular view of the results and so on.We can add one or more lister.
In our case we are going to add Summary report, results tree and results in a table.
Right click on the Thread group, Add -> Listener -> Summary result.
average time for each request is 21 ms.
The above report gives the time it took for each request and the status of the request.
From the above report you can see the request that was sent and you can see the response data as well.
In the next part we can take a look at steps needed to do performance tests for ODATA services.
Thank you for writing this blog post. I can see it's been almost 3 years since you wrote this blog post but I am struggling with settings up a JDBC connection with JMeter and Hana, and wondering if I can clarify something.
Are you sure it shouldn't be com.sap.db.jdbc.Driver?
I am struggling with previous step where you mention we should place the ngdbc.jar driver in the ./lib folder relative to the JMeter install. I can't for the life of me get JMeter to see this driver.


Mallinckrodt said the handles in that shower were broken in the "on" position and guards controlled the flow from the central shut-off valve, where they were able to turn up the water temperature to excruciating levels.
Aside from an apparent temporary suspension of the warden and a few others for "deficiencies in the kitchen" noted during an audit of Dade Correctional Institution, according to the article, nothing has been done. It is reasonable to assume that staff will continue its brutal abuse of patient inmates in the mental unit, and killing for sport at the facility will continue unbridled.

Finding Your Way In the Wild New World
Marketing podcast with Martha Beck (Click to play or right click and "Save As" to download – Subscribe now via iTunes or subscribe via other RSS device.
The way that many people still think about work has its roots in the Industrial Revolution where workers were told to go to a place at a certain time and perform work to specific requirements until such time as the whistle blew signaling a time that we could now go home and be with our families.
This concept of work then led people seek ways to create boundaries and balance that would allow them to then have a more fulfilling life outside of work. In many instances this simply led to an emotionless workplace where the clock was to be punched.
The world has changed so radically over the last decade that the entire concept of work, and certainly the concept of workplace, has be been altered forever – the question though is have we caught up with these changes?
The grand opportunity that exists today is that because you can choose to work in just about any way that suits your life, there is no reason to do work unless it feels like art to you. There's no reason to separate work from the things that charge and energize and fulfill you emotionally and spiritually.
My guest for this week's episode of the Duct Tape Marketing podcast is Martha Beck, life coach and author of the new book Finding Your Way in a Wild New World: Reclaim Your True Nature to Create the Life You Want. Beck is a columnist for Oprah's O magazine and was a frequent guest on her show over the years. One of Beck's earlier books, Finding Your Own North Star should be required reading for every college student and perhaps every parent raising those college students.
My favorite line from the interview is this: Love sells better than hate. Beck was talking about how your approach to what you're doing has a tremendous baring on the success of the venture. If you don't enjoy your work, it'll show. If you love what you're doing people will be attracted to that.
So much of the belief about what is work and what our relationship to work should be is beaten into us as small children by school systems and even well intentioned, but equally battered, parents that breaking free sometimes takes years.
My firm belief is that if you don't find a relationship with what you do for a living that also serves what you do for life, you'll constantly struggle with a false sense of teetering imbalance.

Career mentor: So many, but a few who come to mind that I would credit with helping shape me as an attorney are Michael Arif, Edward Rosenthal, John Kiyonaga and Judge T.S. Ellis III.
What was your most memorable criminal case? It is very difficult to choose because I have been fortunate enough to work on some very interesting and challenging cases over the past two decades, but one of the top contenders would be a recent federal case in which I represented a lovely woman who spent the majority of her time caring for her 11 grandchildren and serving proudly as the First Lady of her church. She had no active involvement in her husband's business dealings outside of his ministry, which was the foundation of the charges. Despite her lack of involvement, she found herself charged with nearly 30 counts of wire fraud and money laundering. After an eight-day trial, a jury acquitted her on all but seven counts. Ten months later, (in October 2018) the court granted our motion for acquittal on the remaining seven counts. It was a hard-fought battle and a truly just result.

Q: How to remove the address bar on non-Secure http page I try to remove the address bar on EDGE Win10,
I can remove the address bar by installing a test page as an EDGE app,
but if the page is non-secure HTTP the address bar remains.
As you can see in this test:
test with HTTP and HTTPS
How can I prevent EDGE to insert the non-Secure warning / address bar within specific HTTP contents?
Please note that HTTP content is inside INTRANET as web applications.
I should try regedit first to design the policy later.
Please could you help me about?

A: You can't hide the address bar in any way if it's through Group Policy or the registry. Also, it is not recommended to do it. Users should see what URL they are browsing. Otherwise, it may cause security issues.
If a website doesn't have a valid certificate. The information sent to and from it is not secure and can be intercepted by an attacker or seen by others. There's a risk to your personal data when sending or receiving information from this site. In my opinion, users should know if a site is at risk to decide whether to continue accessing it. Otherwise,as mentioned above, it may cause security issues.
Therefore I don't think your requirement can be achieved. Maybe you could refer to this doc: Securely browse the web in Microsoft Edge

The Question: Would subscription television help or hurt sports?
Jimmy Jemail
Mayor of New York
"Television has brought sports into every home and added much interest to home life. People who never saw big-time sports have become fans. A small TV charge might be the only way the minors and some big-league clubs could survive. In football, small colleges, never on TV, deserve a cut."
ELMER E. ROBINSON, San Francisco
"It would help. The subscription idea could expand the popularity of sports. It's always beneficial to have anything well-advertised. After people get accustomed to subscript ion TV, few will object to a small charge to see a great sports spectacle. But the charge should be small, say 25¢."
EARLE KNIGHT
Mayor of Billings, Mont.
"Billings is the largest city in Montana. We are very sports conscious. We'd like to see the big sports events on TV and we're willing to pay. The World Series came to us a week late on a kinescope, and a bad one at that. Those who won't pay on TV can see our team play in the Pioneer League."
JOHN B. HYNES
Mayor of Boston
"It will help. The revenue would be a blood transfusion for sports. TV keeps people away from sports, events. In Boston we used to see many busloads come to the ball parks from outlying areas. Now they watch games on TV. However, there should be no charge for hospitals and shut-ins."
NORRIS POULSON
Mayor of Los Angeles
"It will help. Lots of people want to go to ball games, but traffic congestion, parking problems and the annoyance of getting in and out of ball parks make it an ordeal rather than relaxing jaunt. If fans can pay a modest fee and see the games on television, they'll be glad to do so."
GEORGE VERGARA
Mayor of New Rochelle, N.Y.
"If properly handled, subscription TV could be a great boon to sports. Revenue, earmarked for sound promotion, would, in effect, be a public subsidy. It would be one way to keep abreast of Russia's state subsidy of athletics and would allow sports to be kept in the hands of the people."
JAMES S. SMITH, Charlotte, N.C.
Carolina Textile Brush Co.
"It will help. The fact that we will be able to get the sports we want when we want to see them will be a boon to all sports. Also, when people have to pay a fee for a game on TV, some might rather patronize our own local ball games, which we wish they would do. It will be a boost all round."
FAY WHEELDON
Mayor of Sioux Falls, S.D.
"I'm sure the effect will be more helpful than harmful. Many more sports will be televised if the telecasts make a fair profit. Look how television has boomed wrestling. Most people are willing and expect to pay for something that is good. If it isn't they won't look anyway."
W. C. NELSON
Mayor of Sarnia, Ont.
"I think this new wrinkle will hurt sports, generally. Coin TV or whatever system is used to make the viewer pay would reduce the coverage. The change-over would create resentment and lessen interest. Fewer people would look. What's wrong with the present system of sponsored telecasts?"
DR. ALTON N. ROBINS, Burlington, Vt.
"We are in a rural district. The nearest big league ball park is 260 miles away. Most of us seldom have the opportunity to see a big-time baseball or football game. For us, subscription television would be a boon. Even in metropolitan areas a million persons can't crowd into a ball park."
DAVID ARONBERG, Ashland, Ky.
Civil Defense director
"People down my way feel that the air belongs to the public. However, although hardly anyone would pay to see an outstanding dramatic show over a closed network, many would pay to see a championship boxing contest. If we have to, we'll probably pay gladly to see sports."

BY KAREN GERHARDINGER | MIRROR REPORTER — An upcoming performance by indie-folk band Oliver Hazard – named for War of 1812 hero Oliver Hazard Perry – will raise funds to honor area veterans and first responders.
Third Street Cigar in Waterville is hosting a special charity event on Thursday, August 9 to raise funds for Veterans Memorial Park in Whitehouse. Oliver Hazard will perform on the shop's outdoor patio that evening from 5:30 to 9:00 p.m.
The tickets are $60.00 and include a silent auction, a cash bar and hors 'd oeuvres from chef Bruce Saba, said Third Street Cigars' Dave Webb. A representative from Battleground Cigars will bring an excellent boutique cigar with a military motif, he added.
The concert is one of the few remaining stops before Oliver Hazard heads out on a multi-state tour. The band, which consists of Perrysburg grad Mike Belazis and Anthony Wayne alumni Devin East and Griffin McCulloch, quickly gained national recognition with its release 34 N. River.
"They really have arrived," said John Henry of Third Street Cigar, noting that their performance at the Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival signaled how quickly the Waterville-based band has grown. In less than a year, the trio has gone from hanging out to opening for national acts like KC and the Sunshine Band, Mt. Joy, Michigan Rattlers and Red Wanting Blue. Oliver Hazard has also had 2 million plays on Spotify and been featured in national magazines.
It all started over Christmas break in 2017. Mike was back from California, where he's an Outward Bound instructor, leading teens on challenging backpacking trips.
While hanging out at 34 N. River Rd. – which Devin and Griffin rent from the city of Waterville – the three friends began writing songs together. In two weeks, they wrote 10 songs. At the same time, they won a Facebook competition to record one song. But when they went to the studio, they suggested recording all 10 songs, live, for $75.00. From there, the recording was sent to a few connections in California, and was released in June with R&R Digitals.
Waterville is at the core of 34 N. River, said Mike, especially as the circa 1877 home known as the Tobacco House was the inspiration behind many of the songs.
According to the Waterville Historical Society, the house is where David Hall, and later his sons Reuben and Orlando Fish Hall, sold tobacco. The brothers were members of Waterville's Brady Guards that formed and served in the Civil War.
One song, "Henry and Pearl," is an ode to the owners of the Kam Wah Restaurant, which was torn down to make way for the new Waterville bridge. An eclectic mix of "stuff" from the house is featured in the background of the album cover, such as an alligator head, an old globe, a six-pack of beer and several instruments.
"That is all our stuff. Plus Griffin is a mild hoarder," Mike said.
The three became friends after high school, playing in a variety of bands including Conestoga Trace and Fewer Crooks.
Despite having two Anthony Wayne graduates in the three-man band, the band is named after Oliver Hazard Perry, Perrysburg's namesake and the hero of the Battle of Lake Erie.
"We wanted a simple, local name and settled on Oliver Hazard, not so much because of his fame as for the simplicity and name recognition," Devin said.
Oliver Hazard has upcoming performances on Friday, August 10 at Promenade Park; on Friday, August 17 at Wapakoneta's Rhythm and Brews Court 33 festival; and opening for Mt. Joy in Cleveland on August 23 and in Akron on August 26. The band is also tentatively scheduled for a Friday, August 31 show on Third Street in Waterville. From there, it's on the road to a multi-state tour.
For more information, visit www.olihazard.com. For tickets to the August 9 fundraiser, call Third Street Cigar at (419) 441-0020 or Whitehouse Village Hall at (419) 877-5383.

Roger C. Field (31. juli 1945 i London) er en industridesigner og opfinder med over 100 patenter.

Field voksede op i London, Canterbury og Schweiz. Han gik på kostskolerne The King's School, Canterbury og Aiglon College i Villars-sur-Ollon. 1965 rejste han til Californien og lÊste industriedesign med et diplom fra California College of the Arts. I 1972 kom han til Tyskland.

Field er ogs kendt som gituarist og har blandt andet spillet med Chet Atkins, som han har vÊret venner med, og med Merle Travis.

Hans mest kendte opfindelse er Foldaxen, en elektrisk guitar, der kan foldes sammen, som han lod bygge til Chet Atkins. Denne kan ses i Atkins bog Me and My Guitars. Den 30. september 1987 tog Field en af sine FoldaxeDes-guitarer med i et Concordefly og spillede sangen Mr. Sandman som en reklamejoke "gennem lydmuren". Med denne guitar vandt Field en vigtig designpris (Designer's Choice Award) i USA. Ogs Raymond Loewy ¯nskede ham skriftligt tillykke hertil.

Field har fotograferet mange prominente personer med Foldaxe guitaren, bl.a., Keith Richards, Sir Mick Jagger, Sir Paul McCartney, Hank Marvin, David Copperfield, og Eric Clapton. Der skal takkes Roger Field for, at Hank Marvin og Bruce Welch enes efter et mere end 10 Âr varende skÊnderi og igangsatte en afskedsturne med deres gamle band The Shadows gennem Storbritannien (2004) og Europa (2005).

Marcel Dadi komponerede sin sang Roger Chesterfield til Roger Field (CD Guitar Legend Volume 1).

Field er i verdensmedierne kendt som Arnold Schwarzeneggers ven og engelsklærer i München 1968.

Hempfest Permitted for One Day in September 2019
This year, Parks and Recreation Commissioner Chris Cook has informed MassCANN, the organizers of Hempfest, "The City requires event permitees to abide by their permit conditions.

Hill reported that the donation will go towards completely replacing the entire film and sound editing space in City Lights.
"I'm really impressed with this project and they've been very generous," Hill said.

At about 9:20 a.m., on Jan. 29, detectives assigned to District D-4 (South End) responded to the Bloom Couture Floral Studio, 769 Tremont St., for a breaking and entering report. On arrival, officers spoke to a store employee who stated that, upon opening the store at 9:10 a.m., she discovered that the store had been broken into. Upon looking around the store for evidence of a break-in, officers observed several signs confirming that the store had been broken into including damage to a rear exterior door, the door jamb and a cash register. After reviewing the store's security camera, officers were able to generate a description of the suspect. Moreover, a check of fingerprints lifted from the store's cash register and later processed by the BPD's Latent Print Unit enabled officers to identify a potential suspect. In light of the aforementioned, detectives applied for an arrest warrant for Luis Mercado, 44, of Boston charging him with the crime. At about 11:29 a.m., on Sunday, Feb. 17, officers located and arrested the suspect in the area of the 112 Southampton St. homeless shelter. While being taken into custody, the suspect stated, "I'm all done, this is it." Mercado is charged with Unarmed Breaking and Entering into a Building (Nighttime). The investigation remains active.
