Largest Milk Dairy in the Hawaiian Kingdom
The east side of upper Manoa (and a roadway through it) is known today as "Woodlawn." It's named for the Woodlawn Dairy and Stock Company. It became the largest milk dairy in the Hawaiian Kingdom.
"This Dairy commenced business in June, 1879, under the name of "Woodlawn Dairy," with stock consisting of ten native cows." (Hawaiian Planters Monthly Advertisement)
"Mr (BF) Dillingham's beautiful residence, 'Woodlawn,' at Punahou, about a mile and a half from town, (is) where the dairy was originally started. Here there is about 350 acres controlled by the company, including land in Mānoa Valley …"
"… and on this pasturage there is a herd of about 450 head of cattle, including Short horns, Durhams, Devon, Ayreshires, Holsteins and Jerseys." (Pacific Commercial Advertiser, April 15, 1885)
"With the steady growth of the business, special regard has been paid to the importation of the best Dairy Stock. In the early part of 1883, a "Short Horn" Bull was imported from California, known on the Record as the '19th Duke of Manchester.'" (Hawaiian Planters Monthly Advertisement)
Later, a newspaper announcement noted: "Lost, Strayed or Stolen. "The 19th Duke of Manchester," a larger red shorthorn Bull, property of the Woodlawn Dairy & Stock Co., anyone finding this Bull and returning same to said Company will be suitably rewarded. Woodlawn Dairy & Stock Co." (Daily Bulletin, June 1, 1885)
"In 1884, the Thorough Bred Short Horn "Duke of the Valley" was purchased at $400; the animal was then 15 months old. In the spring of 1886 two thorough bred Holsteins were imported by the Company, from Syracuse, New York."
"These animals were sent out to California by rail, thence by sail to Honolulu. These are probably the finest bred animals for beef and milk combined, ever landed on these Islands."
"One of these bulls now in use at this Dairy weighed 1400 pounds when two years old, and about 1800 at 30 months."
"A few Holstein Cows and Heifers have been added to this stock, one Heifer from Syracuse cost $450 there. One Holstein Heifer raised here, came in with her first calf last spring, her age being about 30 months, and gave, for nearly three months, 16 quarts of milk per day. Several other heifers raised at this Dairy have given from 12 to 15 quarts per day."
"The Manager Mr. John Grace recently returned from a trip to California where he purchased with great care from the best dairy farms in that State, including the well-known Jersey farm of Mr. Maillard, 63 head of graded and thorough bred Jersey Cows and Heifers and one thorough bred Jersey Bull."
"Any one desiring to improve their stock Cannot Do Better than to apply to the Woodlawn Dairy and Stock Company for some of their superior young Bulls, raised in this country from as fine dairy stock as can be found anywhere." (Hawaiian Planters Monthly Advertisement)
"Visitors to the Pali, at the head of Nuʻuanu Valley, always notice the range of stables on the right of the road going up, at an elevation of about 700 feet above the sea, and upon inquiry are told that they are the property of the Woodlawn Dairy and Stock Company, who here own nearly 250 acres of fine valley and side-hill land."
"This locality is what was long known as the 'Wood's plantation,' where Mr. John Wood carried on for a number of years the cultivation of sugar cane and the manufacture of sugar." (The Nuʻuanu section was later called Highland Park.)
"Mr Dillingham purchased the property from Mr. Wood, and shortly after the Woodlawn Company was incorporated, and now the establishment is run on an extensive scale, with Mr. Graham as manager."
"This will be understood from the fact that the dairy has grown in the past five years from a beginning of ten cows, with an output of 600 quarts a month, to 150 cows in milk, with an output of 30,000 quarts per month."
"Adjoining the old Wood residence there has been erected a substantial and convenient dwelling, which is under the care of Mrs. Grace, the wife of the sub-manager, John Grace, who constructed the new buildings, stables, etc., and now superintends that branch of the ranch." (Pacific Commercial Advertiser, April 15, 1885)
"There are six men employed as milkers, each one taking a 'string,' as it is called, of twenty-five cows. When a milker is ready be opens the half door leading to his particular division of the milking platform, and calls the cows by name to come in to their breakfast or supper, as the case may be."
"They walk forward in an orderly, methodical manner, and each one, going to her own place, is locked in by the pair of bars previously described, which confine her loosely by the neck. Until 7 o'clock the whole of the herd, averaging 150 in number, quietly enjoy their generous feed and then are milked."
"Commencing at one end of his 'string,' the milker finishes with each cow in succession, releasing the one milked as soon as the operation is completed. She quietly walks out to the pasture again, where she generally enjoys a short nap ere resuming grazing."
"Thus the milker never has a cow behind him while at work, and when his 'string' is finished the stable is empty and ready to be washed out."
"From the milking stable the milk is carried into an adjoining room, where it is poured through strainers made of fine wire gauze and thick white flannel into the clean cans in which it is carried to the company's customers." (Pacific Commercial Advertiser, April 15, 1885)
Later, noted developer Charles Desky was identified as the 'sole agent' for lots in this 'Fashionable Section of Honolulu.' "This estate, Woodlawn, covering five hundred acres of the (Mānoa) valley and sloping up to the mountain top …"
"… is being improved by the construction of miles of automobile roads that on a gentle grade ascend the mountain side, giving great plateaus here and there with unmolested views of city, sea and mountains; ideal homesites, the views from which can never be obstructed." "These ideal homesites may be had from $750.00 an acre up." (Mid-Pacific Magazine, 1911)
Then, in 1920, Central Union Church's then-pastor, Dr. Albert Palmer, chose a desirable 8.3-acre site at Punahou and Beretania streets for the site for the relocated church. The site was "Woodlawn," for years the residence and dairy farm of prominent businessman BF Dillingham and his family.
Mrs. Emma Louise Dillingham, by then a widow, agreed to sell – she had been a member since Bethel Union days. In 1922, the cornerstone was laid, and the present sanctuary, designed in traditional New England style, was completed in 1924. Central Union Church, also known as the "Church in a Garden", moved to its present location on Beretania Street.

Worry, anxiety, and stress can lead us down an unhealthy path. Yes, our emotions of worry, anxiety, stress and the ever present "What if" game can cause us to be sick in our bodies. God has created our bodies so perfectly; they are designed to cope with stress in a fight or flight reaction, however, distress is another subject all together. Distress can lead to headaches, stomach upset, blood pressure rising, chest pain, and even problems sleeping. Research also suggests that stress also can bring on or even worsen certain symptoms or diseases. Our minds are so powerful it can effect our bodies.
I have played one too many times in my life the "What if" game. What if I can't pay this bill, what if cancer comes back, what if my child goes off the deep end. This list can get long and overwhelming, consuming our thoughts, and moving on to effecting our bodies. Even Abraham played the what if game in Genesis 12:12 when he worried about the Egyptians stealing his life and killing him. Abraham worried and did not trust God. Abraham found it easier to trust God in the far-off promises God had made to him rather than trust God for his right-now needs. When we worry we are doing the same thing as Abraham.
So how do we stop playing the what if game? How do we stop the worry and start trusting God?
1. We are to rejoice and not be anxious about anything! I know that is hard sometimes but think about the times God has come through for you in the past. He is going to come through again and again for you! We must trust Him and take Him at His word to us. We must read the Word of God as literal to us; it was left for us as our instruction manual! Do we rejoice about a bad doctors report? No! But we do rejoice in the God who is our Father, who loves us, and will lead us and comfort us. That is something to rejoice in!We are to trust Him. I know it can be scary, I too had that dreaded doctors report over 6 years ago, but I knew that I knew, that God was not going to leave me and I could trust Him! It instructs us to rejoice in the Lord, it does not say rejoice in the report given by the doctor.
3. Notice the verse instructs us in EVERY situation we are to trust, rejoice, and not be anxious. Every means just that…..EVERY. No matter what is happening, every single situation in our life we are to behave as these verses instruct: to rejoice in the Lord, not be anxious, know God is near, pray, be thankful, and tell God our requests.
4. We are to make requests of God through Prayer and Petitions. Petitions are requests we make to God. Prayer is communication we have with God. The note I want you to see here is we are to let God know our requests or even concerns. That is why I instructed you above to write things down. Now you do not have to write it down to be biblical, I am just suggesting to write them down. Then when you have them down spend the time talking with God about those thoughts and even your feelings on them. Guess what, God is not going to be angry when you tell Him you are angry or upset. He knows already. And just like we would not be upset at a child coming to us expressing their concerns He is not going to be mad either. So express to Him. THEN pray, pray for Him to take the problem, and actually give it to Him and do not take it back from Him. Know when you place it in His hands it is His to fix now, not yours. Which leads us to……..
5. Thanksgiving. Thank Him in advance for it being done. Even though you do not see it different in the natural know He is working on it and He is taking care of it. Know just like the last time He came through, He will do it again! He will move Heaven and Earth for you; His child. Trust and be thankful for all He is doing just for you.
Wow God will flood us with His peace, a peace we do not even understand or comprehend. And when we do what is instructed in verses 4-6 He promises His peace will guard our hearts and our minds in Jesus! Jesus is standing guard over our hearts and minds through the amazing peace of God.

Habits can't appear from nothing: they often are the results of your own conscious choices. They give freedom, they don't make you take decisions and watch after yourself every single second. Nearly 40% of your everyday life is formed by habits, so it shouldn't be bad to develop some of them. How about those which can make you happier, more successful and hard-working? Let's take a look on ways to work on these habits.
Everyday life is characterized with a high tempo. Due to this, you don't have time to think about your global life goals. Who do you wish to be 5 years later? What is the way for you to develop your skills in order to make your working performance higher? And what about developing yourself as a specialist? People are all different, that is why for someone 30 minutes a week is enough for such thoughts, someone needs more than one day, and somebody prefers thinking on world problems while having a bike trip.
Some people will think on eternity sitting alone with a notebook, others will meet their old friends and discuss everything with people they trust. The process is yours, the result is finding out what you really want.
Sometimes, while trying to reach the ambitious goals as soon as possible, people overload themselves and forget about small routine things. They are not less important for your comfort: it's sometimes useful to concentrate on small & controlled activities you can complete instantly. What do you need to study today in order to become a better student, and to get good marks (to become a good & well-payed specialist in future)?
Envy is an extremely negative emotion, but it can serve you as a good stimulus while analyzing yourself. If you feel envy on someone, this means that person has something you really want to get, too. Who do you envy: a friend who travels a lot, or a friend who never needs anything, or a friend who can talk without thinking? Feeling envy helps you to figure out the direction you want to go and the way you wish to develop your personality.
Plans like "to read more", "to wake up earlier", "to study something new" are too broad and unprecise. Say directly what you want to achieve. Shape your goal as a precise, measurable and controllable action. Example: "to visit meetings devoted to my future profession once in a month", "to read 60 books on my hobby during the year", "to spend two hours every Saturday reading the articles saved in bookmarks before". When put precisely, your goal will motivate you to act.
Control maintains a strange power upon a person. Mostly, when people only start controlling their behavior, their performance (in a job, or studying, or anything) becomes much better. Besides, there is no difference what kind of control happens: counting the quantity of steps from your apartment to the nearest supermarket or counting the number of your daily phone calls. The same activity can be applied for notating how much time you spend studying your learning books or practicing any new skill. Control the introductory process of a new habit, and this will help you move the right way.
A goal formed like "to study something cool" will constantly lay in a dusty part of your to-do-list storage. Yes, it is obviously important for you, but you don't have a determined deadline when to complete it, and that is the reason why you will constantly delay it for better times. Planning a precise time for learning something new is really important and helpful.
Delaying your job till another day is not worth it. If there is a task planned for any moment of time, don't do anything except of it. No email checks, no tea breaks, no phone calls. You'll do all the rest later, after things you planned are done. Otherwise, you'll constantly live with a feeling of something to be unfinished. That's sad.
This means spending your time with someone, who's habits you'd like to get for yourself. Researches confirm, that people can take the habits of their environment, so choose your company carefully. If you know some of your groupmates to have learning as their habit already, try spending more time with them. This will help you get used and will make the process of forming a new habit much easier.
And, probably, the most important thing you've got to know about habits. Everyone has to get habits, which can help them improve themselves as a person: to widen one's outlook, to level-up professional skills, etc. When you do something that is useful for you personally, you double your chance to get a new habit.

Notes on Veneto
With towns like Venice, Verona, Padua, Vicenza, Treviso and Belluno, Veneto is one of the most popular regions for tourists in Italy. But even though part of Veneto feels crowded at times, there are still plenty of relatively quiet and undiscovered places to visit.

Q: How does Intellisense decide to which project a file belongs to? I have two CMake projects in Visual Studio 2019 which are completely seperated and have nothing to do with each other.
If i open the first one with the "Open Folder" option and go to my main.c file, the navigation bar (below the file tabs) says "out.elf - Default-Config". I assume this means that Visual Studio has detected that the main.c file belongs to the project with the "Default-Config" configuration.
Now, if I open my second project the same way, the navigation bar says "Miscellaneous Files", so for me it looks like VS has no idea to which project the file belongs (I have only one project open at a time).
The reasons why this bothers me so much is because Intellisense error checking doesn't work, if the project of the file is not detected. In the microsoft documentation it says:

If the Navigation Bar says Miscellaneous Files, then that probably explains why you are not seeing error squiggles under incorrect code, or why a preprocessor macro is not defined.

Unfortunately it doesn't mention how you can avoid or fix that.
So my question is: How does VisualStudio decide to which project a file belongs ? How can I tell VisualStudio that all the files in the folder belong to one project with an already set configuration ? What could be the reasons why it works in one project but not in the other (I know I have not given information about the projects but i just don't know what would be relevant. For me there is no noticeable difference between them.)
I hope the problem is somehow clear (I'm realy struggling to describe it properly). If i have left out some important info just comment and i will add it. Thanks in advance.

A: So i found the reason why VisualStudio says "Miscellaneous Files" in one project. The project was mixing C and C++ sources, which caused the error checking of Intellisense to break. But i still don't have any idea why Intellisense can't work with .c and .cpp files simultaneously.

Album: Rock Of The Westies (1975)
Songimage
Three years after "Rocket Man," Elton John released this song, which tells the story of a "pilot of the future." The lyric, written as usual by Bernie Taupin, was inspired by Dan Dare, the comic strip character who first appeared in the British Eagle in 1950.
Guitarist Davey Johnstone used a talkbox on this track. Although the device had already been around a few years when Rock Of The Westies was released, it did not really catch on until the release of Frampton Comes Alive two years later. >>
Alexander Baron - London, England, for above 2
Recorded at Caribou Ranch studios in Colorado, the album title is a play on the phrase "west of the Rockies," referring to its location.
Personnel on this track are:
Davey Johnstone - guitar
Caleb Quaye - electric guitar
Kenny Passarelli - bass
James Newton Howard - clavinet
Roger Pope - drums
Elton's "Don't Go Breaking My Heart" duet partner Kiki Dee sang backup along with Quaye, Johnstone, Passarelli and Ann Orson.
More songs from Elton John
More songs with boys' names in the title
More songs with occupations in the title
More songs featuring a talkbox
Lyrics to Dan Dare (Pilot Of The Future)
Elton John Artistfacts
Michael from Jersey ShoreWith all due respect to both Davey Johnston (yes, I have vivid recall of back to back shows of him with Elton John in the summer of '76 shows at MSG) and the outstanding contribution of Peter Frampton's monumental LIVE recording from Winterland, "Frampton comes alive", I feel two phenomonial musician/guitarists are often overlooked in the "talk-box" discussion. So please try include both legendary singer and songwriters, Joe Walsh (on his extremely influencial, "Rocky Mountain Way") and unsung producer/writer/guitarist and "why isn't he in the Rock 'N Roll hall of fame" SHAME ON ALL, Rick Derringer (Teen Age Love Affair) when mentioning breaking the respective mold of "Talk box" for those who appreciate originators and pure talent in Rock and Roll. Thank you!
Paul from Rothesay, Nb, CanadaWe all know that Elton gave us a ton of hit singles during the 70's, but there are so many great album cuts that come to mind as well..."Love Lies Bleeding", "Ticking", "Have Mercy on the Criminal"...the list goes on and on. "Dan Dare" is just another great under-rated Elton classic!

Lenovo notebooks have traditionally been available online and through specialty retailers, but starting April 3rd, you will be able to walk into Best Buy and find the Lenovo B560 laptop, IdeaPad Z565 and Lenovo V560 notebooks.
This is the first time that Lenovo notebooks will be sold in Best Buy and is a very important move for Lenovo as many users still prefer to see and feel their notebooks before purchasing. The main focus will be on the IdeaPad line of consumer notebooks, but at the start, the primary notebook will be the IdeaPad V565.
Best Buy has carried the Lenovo ThinkPad Edge notebooks in Best Buy for Business locations since late 2010 and you have been able to order some Lenovo notebooks at BestBuy.com, but this is the first time the consumer notebooks will hit the shelves of Best Buy.
First up will be the IdeaPad Z565, an AMD Phenom II Dual Core powered 15.6″ notebook that is designed to deliver, "the ultimate entertainment experience" with Dolby Advanced Audio and OneKey Theater II.
The Lenovo V560, a 15.6″ metal chassis notebook with WiMAX, will also be arriving at Best Buy, but only at 200 retail locations. This notebook uses a Core i3 processor and has a built-in fingerprint reader.
The Lenovo notebooks are being welcomed to Best Buy with a Reward Zone promotion that will give members double reward zone points for any Lenovo PC purchase made in April.
As we mentioned, this is a big deal for Lenovo, and for any consumers who have been thinking of getting a Lenovo notebook. Even with the many notebook reviews out there, it is still incredibly important for many users to actually touch the notebooks that they want to purchase, and Best Buy is one of the primary places that American's shop for notebooks, laptops and tablets.


Playing table tennis requires not simply abilities but a sturdy and reputable table too, just like the Butterfly Club Ping Pong table. A shabby table just will not do given that tables play an essential part in the gameplay.
The quality construction of the top and frame of this Rollaway Table Tennis Table, the easy roll-and-fold feature, the low price and the 3-year warranty were the assets that made this table truly popular among buyers.
In the event you first see the pictures of the Butterfly TR35 Premium Rollaway Table Tennis Table and the unit specification, the idea of it being a "fold-and-roll" table may be the aspect that lights most.

It's time for #RallyTogether to die and for #BurnOn to take its place
There's a red moon rising on the Cuyahoga River
By Matt Schlichting@MattSchlichting Jan 23, 2020, 12:00pm EST
Share All sharing options for: It's time for #RallyTogether to die and for #BurnOn to take its place
#RallyTogether is washed up.
Once an elite slogan in Major League Baseball, the hashtag just doesn't inspire fervor anymore. It used to be an Ace; now, it's relegated to mop-up duties. It comes out flat whether you type it or say it out loud, and god knows nobody ever shouts it.
The problem is that being an Indians fan feels kind of flat right now, too. There hasn't been much that all Indians fans can agree on lately. We actually do need something around which to #RallyTogether; Ironically enough, getting rid of the old hashtag might be the easiest way for the team to generate excitement for the coming season.
No, I don't expect anyone to listen, but #BurnOn should be the next social media motto for the team.
Why #BurnOn makes perfect sense for the Indians
It's the title of Randy Newman's song that plays during the introductory credits of Major League. It's burned into the collective subconscious already.
The undercurrent of sarcasm in the line keeps anyone from taking it too seriously. #RallyTogether started with a fun earnestness about it, but now it just feels hokey. The song is referring to the Cuyahoga River catching fire multiple times throughout its history. It's not really something that Cleveland can be proud of, per se, but it speaks to the character of the city. It strikes me as capturing the essence of what the Browns were after when they missed the mark with "Hardland of America". A god damn river burst into flames over and over again as the city charged ahead into economic ruins. The people that stayed despite all of that are the ones that burned on, you know?
It matches the moment in which the franchise finds itself. Despite the flat feelings that follow a near-miss of the playoffs; despite trading away, once again, a Cy Young winner; despite dealing with ownership that is now actively belittling fans of the team while accepting undeserved awards; despite this and more, the players and fans continue to believe in this window of contention. I think you need to be a little crazy already to avoid going entirely insane as a fan of the Indians, and in that way we continue to burn on as fans.
It doesn't look like any organization, movement, or reclusive subculture is currently using the hashtag/phrase.
It sounds cool and is fun to say.
Could there be copyright concerns? I'm not a lawyer (we should all be thankful) and that's not my problem. If I had to guess I would think that merchandising might be the only potential issue. However, if I'm Randy Newman and I was okay with the song getting used for a movie (compensation details notwithstanding) then I would guess something could be worked out for the slogan to be used for the real team.
I've considered a few other options, but none of them fit the team, the city, and the fanbase as well as #BurnOn. Plus, if things really go south and the Indians decide to burn the whole thing down, we get to be snarky as hell about it.
I just can't think of a different phrase that better encapsulates the experience of being an Indians fan. It was true back when Major League was a hit movie, and somehow it's even more true today. So, for 2020, let's #BurnOn.

Thanks to Paula for this Frugal Baby Tip!
Going out on a limb here, but what does using a Snappi have to do with keeping poop in? Isn't that related more to how well you fold the diaper and how well your cover holds the prefold? I, personally, hate Snappies. I don't like how they make the top of the prefold bunch out. Then the baby's clothes get tucked into the top of the cover because it's pooking out from his tummy. Give me a nice pair of old fashioned metal diaper pins any day!


This Arbitration arose pursuant to Agreement between the Portland Police Association, hereinafter referred to as the "Union", and the City of Portland, Oregon, hereinafter referred to as the "City", under which C. ALLEN POOL was selected by the parties to serve as Arbitrator through procedures of the OREGON EMPLOYMENT RELATIONS BOARD. The Parties stipulated that the matter was properly before the Arbitrator and that his decision would be final and binding.
The hearing was held in Portland, Oregon on July 24, 2000 at which time the parties were afforded the opportunity, of which they availed themselves, to examine and cross-examine witnesses and to introduce relevant evidence, exhibits, and arguments. The witnesses were duly sworn and a written transcript was made of the hearing. Posthearing briefs were received in a timely manner (October 16, 2000) thereby bringing the hearing to closure.
Will Aitchison, Esq. Stephanie Harper, Esq.
Did the City violate the 1996-1999 Collective Bargaining Agreement when it assigned supervisory sergeants after-hours call triaging responsibilities on a rotating basis? If so, what is the appropriate remedy?
The events leading to this arbitration began in 1966 when the City's Bureau of Police made the decision to merge/combine the positions of Detective and Sergeant within the Bureau's Detective Division. The two positions were equal in rank and pay and the resulting merger left one position, Sergeant. However, their respective functions and responsibilities did not change; namely that of that of investigative, detective work for specific crimes.
The organizational structure of the Detective Division, then and now, is about the same. The Division commander is a Captain who reports to the Bureau Chief. Directly subordinate to the Captain are Lieutenants that supervise various sections within the Division. Next in the hierarchy are Supervisory Sergeants who assign and supervise the work of Investigative Sergeants within the Sections. Supervisory Sergeants and the Investigative Sergeants are equal in rank. They both members of the Union's bargaining unit. Though the two receive the same compensation, Supervisory Sergeants receive a 3% premium for their role as supervisory sergeant.
Supervisory Sergeants perform an essential role in what was characterized as a Triage System. When a crime is committed, the presence of an Investigative Sergeant may or may not be required at the crime scene. It depends on the nature and type of incident and the circumstances.
When a patrol officer, usually a uniformed sergeant, believes an investigator may be needed, he/she will call the Detective Division where a Supervisory Sergeant will assess the situation and make a determination whether to dispatch an Investigative Sergeant to the scene. If it is determined that the presence of an Investigative Sergeant is required or needed, the Supervisory Sergeant will assign an investigator to the crime scene. It is the process of assessing and determining whether an investigator is required or needed at the crime scene that constitutes the Triage System.
The second event of significance was the Bureau's decision in April of 1998, triggered by budget cuts, to eliminate one of three shifts within the Detective Division, specifically the graveyard shift that operated between 12 midnight and 7:30 a.m. That decision left the Detective Division with the task of performing its responsibilities with two shifts. However, crime does not stop with the clock and the Detective Division was still mandated to provide investigative services between the hours of 12 midnight and 7:30 a.m.
In January of 1999, Captain Suzanne Sizer took command of the Detective Division. On assuming command, a number of concerns about how the after-hours Triage System using the Lieutenants were brought to her attention. She immediately began an examination and analysis of the after-hours Triage System.
At about the same time, another problem, unrelated at the time to the issue in this arbitration, manifested itself. As a result of some changes in accounting procedures within the Bureau, a number of grievances (about 50) were filed concerning overtime. The City and the Union met and reached a Settlement Agreement dated February 12, 1999. The first sentence of Paragraph No. 1 of the Agreement read as follows: "The terms of this agreement shall set precedent in similar situations as long as the current collective bargaining agreement (1996-1999) remains in effect (Emphasis added). Paragraph No. 13 addressed the question of how to compensate officers who received work-related telephone calls while off-duty. The language of paragraph 13 read, "If the City makes a work-related telephone call to an employee at home outside of regular work hours, the employee shall be compensated for the actual time worked on the telephone call, rounded up to the nearest hour" (Employer Exhibit No. 15, p. 1 & 6).
In an Inter-Office Memo to Captain Sizer dated February 22, 1999, Lt. Schwartz submitted a status report on the use of the four Lieutenants to provide after-hours Triage between 12 midnight and 7:00 a.m. His report, among other things, identified the problem of not having enough detectives on the voluntary list for call-out during the hours of 12 midnight and 7:00 a.m. The report also contained a statement revealing why only lieutenants were assigned to the after-hours rotating triage system: "Due to contractual issues concerning overtime, lieutenants were tasked with taking calls during non-coverage hours and making decisions on the appropriate response" (Emphasis added. Employer Exhibit No. 4, p. 2).
In the next month, March, the Detective Division was subjected to another reorganization that aggravated the problem. One of the four lieutenants was taken away from the Division. That left only three lieutenants available for assignment to the rotating after hours-triage system.
Meanwhile, Captain Sizer continued with the examination and analysis of the after-hours triage system. There were a number of individual conversations, exchanges of memos, and staff meetings regarding the triage system (Employer Exhibits 5 and 6). The record did not show that Capt. Sizer discussed the matter directly with the Supervisory Sergeants. On August 18, 1999, a staff meeting was held. The agenda included an announcement by Captain Sizer that Supervisory Sergeants would be included in the rotating triage system. Captain Sizer's copy of the Agenda contained a handwritten note stating, "advised Sgts. of changes to call out system" (Employer-8) (Emphasis added). She testified that she made the announcement but did not discuss the "parameters".
On August 24, 1999, Captain Sizer distributed the after-hours rotating triage schedule for September 1999 through January 2000. The schedule, for the first time, included Supervisory Sergeants. Details and instructions did not accompany the schedule. She testified that discussions were held with individuals concerning the use of alcohol, pagers, telephones, beach homes, etc. with the bottom line being "just be within pager range". There was no written policy in effect at the time nor had one been written at the time of this arbitration. Capt. Sizer communicated two general expectations that supervisory sergeants must meet. First, you must respond to the page. Second, you must not be impaired to the point where you are unable to exercise good judgment when you respond to the page (City Brief-16).
On September 28, 1999, the Union learned of the "mandatory on-call system" and filed a grievance the next day, September 29th (Employer-1). On September 30th, Captain Sizer sent a memo to Assistant Chief Dennis Merrill informing him that the change in the system had been implemented on Wednesday, September 29th at 0000 hours.
Captain Sizer's reasons for the change were that the Supervisory Sergeants knew how to do the job; triaging was part of their normal duties on their regular shift. The other reason was that the three lieutenants were "burned out". She also reported to Captain Merrill, her superior, that a method of compensation was provided through the Settlement Agreement with the Union dated February 12, 1999 (Employer-10).
The Union's grievance was processed and proceeded to this Arbitration.
The City violated the CBA when it unilaterally instituted a mandatory after-hours on-call system that included Supervisory Sergeants on the schedule. Article 3 of the CBA requires that "Standards of employment" be maintained "at not less than the level in effect at the time of the signing of this Agreement". By its action, the City substantially changed wages, hours, and working conditions for Supervisory Sergeants. Article 3 – Existing Standards bars such unilateral action by the City. The City had a duty to negotiate before assigning supervisory Sergeants to an on-call status.
The Grievance should be sustained. The Arbitrator should rescind the mandatory on-call system and make whole Supervisory Sergeants who served on on-call status. They should be compensated at a rate of pay the arbitrator deems appropriate for all hours assigned to on call duty exclusive of the hours actually worked for which payment has already been made.
The City did not violate the CBA in making the decision to assign Supervisory Sergeants to perform call-triaging responsibilities after regular hours on a rotational basis. Article 2 – Management Rights recognizes the City's retention of the exclusive right to exercise the customary functions of management. This includes determining the level of service, methods of operation, work schedules, and assignment of work. Nor is the Management Rights provision of the CBA abridged by Article 2 – Maintenance of Standards provision. Moreover, a lessening of a standard did not occur; and, the call-triaging system is not an on-call system. The Union also waived its right to bargain the issue when it elected not to bring the matter to the negotiation for the current CBA but to allow the matter to be resolved through the arbitration process. The Grievance should be denied.
Throughout the hearing and the throughout the evidence record, the Union repeatedly referred to the after-hours triaging system as an "on-call" system. The Union's understanding and use of the term was incorrect. Within the context of labor relations, industrial relations or whatever one labels it, the term "on-call" has a precise and legal definition. A regulation issued under the FLSA articulates very clearly the criteria for an "on-call" system. To paraphrase the regulation, an "on-call" employee is required to remain either on the premises or be so close to the work site that he/she cannot use time effectively for his/her own purposes. However, if the employee is not required to remain on or nearby the employer's premises but is merely required to leave word where he/she may be reached the employee is not working while on call (City Brief p. 17.
The Roberts' Dictionary of Industrial Relations, 3rd Ed., Bureau of National Affairs, Inc, 1986 mirrors the FLSA criteria with its' definition of "on-call time pay". It's "A method of compensation whereby individuals are paid for the time during which they are 'on call' or on standby, ready and able to go to work. These individuals are paid on a call time plan rather than for the actual time worked".
The City's after-hours call triaging system is not an on-call system. The supervisory sergeants placed on schedule for one week every ten or eleven weeks are free to go about their normal, usually activities when off duty. For the one-week period, though, they are required, while off duty, to respond to a page or telephone and not be impaired to the point where they would be unable to exercise good judgment after responding to the page (City Brief p. 16).
The evidence record did highlight some technical problems with the system. These problems are mostly a result of the shortcomings of available technology related to pagers, cell phones, and radios and how well they work in Oregon's mountainous terrain. However, these are shortcomings for which accommodations can probably be reached.
The Union made very clear that the sole purpose of this grievance was to address the City's unilateral institution of a mandatory system whereby supervisory sergeants are included in the rotating after-hours triaging system (Union Brief-4). The contention was that unilateral acts by the City which affect mandatory subjects of bargaining are prohibited by the CBA and that the City must first negotiate the matter. The evidence record did not support the Union's position.
First, the Union argued that the City violated Article 3, Existing Standards. However, the Union offered nothing into the evidence record to show that the City, by its actions, "lessened" a particular standard of employment. Second, Article 2, Management Rights clearly sets forth the City's right, absent expressed prohibitions in the CBA or an established past practice, to mandate that supervisory sergeants be included in the rotating after-hours call triaging schedule.
The City's rationale for inclusion of supervisory sergeants was persuasive. The City is required, as a vital service to the public, to provide call triaging services during the hours of midnight and 7:30 a.m. For months, the City provided this service with a rotating weekly schedule using four lieutenants and then with three lieutenants. However, when the number of lieutenants in the Division fell to three lieutenants, a real problem manifested itself and the need to modify the system became a necessity. With only three lieutenants available, the City obviously could not meet the need to provide an effective after-hours call triaging system between midnight and 7:30 a.m. Budget restrictions prevented the restoration of a third shift and the evidence record showed nothing to support the idea that a volunteer program for inclusion of supervisory sergeants would be effective. Moreover, since triaging was a duty performed by supervisory sergeants during their regular shift, it was only appropriate that they be included as a necessity means to continue providing the public with this vital service.
The City's decision was obviously based on an operational need. Therefore, there was no violation of the 1996-1999 CBA. The City had the right to include the supervisory sergeants in the triage system. Moreover, the Settlement Agreement dated February 12, 1999 provided a basis, a precedent for compensating the supervisory sergeants for the work-related telephone calls taken while assigned to the after-hours triage system.
Subsequent to the inclusion of supervisory sergeants in the triage system, negotiations for the current CBA commenced in the fall of 1999. During negotiations, the Union informed the City it would not be making any proposal regarding the issue in this instant case because it believed the matter would be resolved through the grievance procedure (Tr. 233 & Union Brief-15). The decision not to make a proposal during negotiation was the Union's to make. The Union's reasons for this choice were not made known to this arbitrator. However, it is clear to the arbitrator that the Union could have offered a proposal concerning the matter, and if a proposal had been offered, the matter could very well have been resolved through the collective bargaining process.
Though the mandatory system was not a subject of negotiations, the question of compensating officers for responding to work-related telephone calls after work hours was discussed during negotiations and an agreement was reached by the parties. In essence, the Union and City took the intent and the language of the Settlement Agreement of February 12, 1999 and memorialized it in the current CBA, namely Article 43.6, Work-related Telephone Calls.
In summary, the City's decision to include supervisory sergeants in the after-hours triage system did not violate the 1996-1999 CBA. The City exercised its right under Article 2, Management Rights, to institute a method of operation and a work schedule that was appropriate to meet the need of continuing to provide an effective after-hours triage system. Nor did the City violate Article 3, Existing Standards. No "standard of employment" was "lessened". The Union, albeit it after the system was implemented, did have an opportunity to negotiate the matter with the City but declined the opportunity. Instead, the Union chose to continue the pursuit of a resolution of the matter through the grievance process, this arbitration.
For the reasons discussed in the foregoing, the Arbitrator's conclusion is that the City did not violate the Collective Bargaining Agreement. The grievance is denied.
The Grievance is denied. The City did not violate the 1996-1999 Collective Bargaining Agreement when it assigned supervisory sergeants after-hours call triaging responsibility on a rotating basis.
 There was a question raised whether the shift ended at 7:00 a.m. or 7:30 a.m. However, the question was not material to the issue.
 That same issue was a subject of negotiations and the above language, with minor modifications, was agreed to by the parties and became part of the current collective bargaining agreement (CBA), namely Article 43.16.

My brother was two years old when he drowned. This was before pool regulation and codes came in. My mother was in the lounge room and my father out the back of the house. Mum thought he was watching my brother. 30 seconds. It took 30 seconds for my brother to drown and no one even knew. He was riding his bike around the pool when he fell in. The bike fell on top of him so he couldn't get out. Mum still cries to this day. All my life I have had this helpless feeling. How could something happen so fast? A life was taken away in a matter of seconds and my mother had to watch her child get pulled out of the pool. I know how she feels. She says "if I had gone out just a minute earlier, he would be alive.". Still there is nothing I can do or could have done. I wasn't even born yet.
People say to me on his birthday or the anniversary of his death. "Why are you upset, you never met him?" And the answer is this. I miss the though of him, I think about what would have been different in my life if he was here. I think about what he would be like. but most of all, I cry for my mother. I wish I could take away her pain but its something that will never go away.

Italian authorities expose organization recruiting mercenaries for Donbas
Thursday, August 2, 2018 11:00:47 AM
As result of a special operation by Italian authorities, six people were arrested after an investigation revealed that they were recruiting mercenaries to participate in military operations in Donbas on the side of the pro-Russian militants. The Ukrainian embassy in Italy reported that among the arrested there are citizens of Moldova and Albania.
"On the night of August 1st, Italian law enforcement authorities exposed an organized criminal group, which recruited and financed persons to participate in combat actions in the Donbas region," reads the statement published on the Ukrainian Embassy's Facebook page.
The operation was coordinated by the Prosecutor's Office of Genoa. Carabineers conducted a series of searches and arrests in Milan, as well as in Parma and Avellino. There were 15 people under investigation. Six of them were arrested, seven of them were searched.
"The Embassy and the Consulate General of Ukraine in Milan keep the matter under special control", -assured the diplomatic mission.
Earlier the Italian newspaper La Repubblica reported the arrest of members of the group, which was engaged in the recruitment of militants to participate in military operations against Ukraine in Donbas. As data shows, initially the investigation concerned unlawful activities of ultra-right groups in Italy.
The Associated Press reported that three members of the group are on the wanted list. According to the newspaper, the investigation established a connection between the arrested and the Russian neo-Nazi group "Rusich" the fighters of which in 2014-2015 fought in the Donbas. The leader of the group Alexey Milchakov aka "Fritz", demonstratively tortured and killed Ukrainian prisoners. In 2011, he was in the field of view of the media and the Russian police in connection with the cruel murder and dismemberment of dogs, photos of which he published on social networks.

Climate metrics were created by first downscaling outputs of the Weather Research and Forecasting Model (WRF; Rasmussen and Liu, 2017) for the present-day period (1 Oct 2000 to 30 Sep 2013) using a combination of local lapse rates and terrain corrections for solar radiation as described in Lute et al., (in prep). Downscaled data was then perturbed by the multi-model mean delta from CMIP5 to create climate date reflecting pre-industrial conditions (1850-1879). Climate metrics are available on a ~210 m grid for the western United States in both netCDF and GeoTiff formats.

This directory contains climate metrics for the pre-industrial period
and represents a subset of the SnowClim Dataset
(https://www.hydroshare.org/resource/acc4f39ad6924a78811750043d59e5d0/).
The SnowClim Dataset was developed following the methods presented in
Lute et al., (in prep). The pre-industrial climate data was created by
downscaling 4 km climate forcings from the Weather Research and
Forecasting (WRF) model (Rasmussen and Liu, 2017) over a thirteen year
period (1 Oct 2000 to 30 Sep 2013) and then perturbing the downscaled
data using multi-model mean deltas from CMIP5 to create climate data
that reflects conditions during 1850-1879. Climate data was summarized
into climate metrics at ~210 m spatial resolution for the western US.
Additional details about the downscaling approach can be found in Lute
et al., (in prep).
File Organization:
Climate metrics are available in separate files. For accessibility,
metrics are available in both GeoTiff and netCDF format. The suffix
'_PRE' indicates that the data represents conditions under
pre-industrial climate. Metrics with values for each month have values
for January through December.
- downwelling shortwave
units: W m-2
Monthly mean downwelling shortwave radiation at the surface,
downscaled from WRF (Rasmussen and Liu, 2017; which accounts for
cloud cover) using the R insolvent package to correct for aspect,
self-shading, and shading by adjacent terrain.
- minimum air temperature (tmin)
units: °C
Monthly mean of daily minimum 2m air temperatures, downscaled from
WRF (Rasmussen and Liu, 2017) using local lapse rates.
- maximum air temperature (tmax)
Monthly mean of daily maximum 2m air temperatures, downscaled from
- mean air temperature (tmean)
Monthly mean of daily mean 2m air temperatures, downscaled from WRF
(Rasmussen and Liu, 2017) using local lapse rates.
- mean dew point temperature (tdmean)
Monthly mean of daily mean 2m dewpoint temperatures, downscaled
from WRF (Rasmussen and Liu, 2017) using local lapse rates.
- precipitation (ppt)
units: meters (m)
Monthly total precipitation, downscaled from WRF (Rasmussen and
Liu, 2017) using local lapse rates and bias corrected using PRISM
precipitation data (PRISM Climate Group, 2015).
- number of temperature sign changes (tschange)
units: count
Annual number of times that temperature (°C) changes sign.
Calculated from 4-hourly air temperatures downscaled from WRF

The transitive dependencies management is a feature which lets you get dependencies of your dependencies, transitively. In order to address this general problem, ivy needs to find metadata about your modules, usually in an ivy file. To find the metadata and your dependencies' artifacts (usually jars), Ivy can be configured to use a lot of different repositories.
If you browse this documentation from your installation of Ivy, you can also check the online version for the latest updates.
You can also browse this documentation offline either by downloading the documentation distribution, or by checking out the doc directory from svn. This documentation uses xooki as its documentation engine, so you can very easily edit it and submit patches when you browse it from source.
Report a bug or feature request in our issue tracking system.
The introduction part is particularly useful: it defines some vocabulary, explains main concepts such as dependency resolvers and patterns, and gives an overview of how ivy works internally.

The world's 500 largest fund managers managed to surpass the assets under management (AUM) record they held collectively in 2015, up 5.8% to US$81.2 trillion in 2016.
According to the latest figures from the Willis Towers Watson, the AUM of North American managers expanded by 7.7% to US$47.4 trillion in the said year. A similar expansion was seen in the AUM of European managers, which managed to record a growth of 2.8% to US$25.8 trillion.
However, in the UK, the AUM figure is on the downtrend, extending its decline with a 4.5% slip to US$6.3 trillion.
The annual growth rate of Canadian asset managers in the past five years is 12.1% in local currency terms. However, due to the increasing strength of the US currency, the AUM growth rate in US dollars is only at 6.1%.
Of the 50 largest fund managers, four are from Canada. The country's largest in terms of AUM is Sun Life Financial, which ranks 34th in the list. Its AUM reached US$670 billion in 2016. Sitting at 35th place is Manulife Financial Corp, with assets reaching US$660 billion.
At the 41st slot is Great-West Lifeco with US$489 billion. The Royal Bank of Canada is also in the upper tier of fund managers, ranking 46th with its AUM of US$433 billion.
Meanwhile, Blackrock maintained its position as the largest asset manager. It has been at the top since 2009. For the third consecutive year, Vanguard and State Street complete the top three.
One interesting finding is the increasing representation of managers from North America, particularly US-based ones. The share of managers in the emerging markets of Brazil, China, and South Korea has also been expanding in the past ten years. In contrast, asset managers from Japan and some other European markets have lost market share during this period.
Another phenomenon affecting the growth of assets in certain markets is the increasing strength of the US dollar, which has had a dampening effect on asset managers in the markets of Australia, Canada, the Eurozone, Japan, and in the emerging markets of Brazil, India, and South Africa.
Is Canada's ETF growth sustainable?

Q: How to show 'arrows' for windows in other workspaces in the launcher? Previously in Ubuntu 11.10, when I had Libreoffice open in several workspaces, I would click on the Libreoffice icon to get an exposé-esque preview of all windows from all workspaces. With Ubuntu 12.04, this no longer seems to be the case. One might argue that this is better, but the usage of clicking that icon and picking the right window has become part of my workflow, and I'm very much missing that feature now.
How do I allow the Unity launcher to show all open windows of one application, regardless of their position or workspace?

A: Ubuntu 12.04
It seems this may no longer be possible, but what may work for you is using Alt+` (grave key) to switch between windows. To get this to show all instances of one program, you have to uncheck viewport bias in CompizConfig Settings Manager. (Install CCSM if you don't already have it)
To remove desktop bias-

*

*Start CCSM

*Click Ubuntu Unity Plugin

*Click the tab Switcher

*Uncheck Bias alt+tab to prefer windows on the current view port


A simple thing you can do to foster a sense of team-building at work is to name the section of your office something indicative of the people that make up that group of cubicles. Not only do you have the opportunity to be creative, but you give you and your peers a common identity by which you can all identify.
Figure out who will be in your group.
Decide on an overall group name.
Pick individual nicknames related to the group name.
Share the name with other people.
It really is that easy, and pretty soon, you'll be looking back on your days as a member of the Yiddish Clowns.

Speed the F up: Express F train service coming this September
By Meaghan McGoldrick • July 10, 2019 @ 11:35 am
Photo via Mtattrain/Wikimedia Commons
Two pairs of express F trains will run on weekdays starting this September.
Two trains will run express in the morning toward Manhattan, and two in the evening toward Coney.
Limited express train service is coming to the F line this fall, the MTA announced Tuesday.
Starting this September, two peak-hour Manhattan-bound F trains will run express from Church Avenue to Jay Street-Metrotech between 7 a.m. and 7:30 a.m. A pair of peak-hour Coney Island-bound trains will do the same between 5 p.m. and 5:40 p.m., the agency said.
The F train has the longest local-service-only portion of any subway line in the system, according to the agency.
"We're adding some limited express service to the F line in Brooklyn because our customers asked, and we listened," MTA NYC Transit President Andy Byford said in a statement. "It will benefit thousands of commuters by getting them to their destinations faster instead of sitting waiting as their train makes all local stops."
The MTA estimates that the new express lines — which will be identified by the letter F inside a gold diamond, as opposed to the classic orange circle — will shave off close to an hour from some riders' commutes.
Local service schedules will be adjusted to ensure even train spacing for riders who might not be lucky enough to get onto one of the two express trains on either of their commutes.
Local politicians — some of whom have been advocating for the return of such a service for years — have called the move a good start.
"Undoubtedly, our neighborhoods need better and faster public transportation options, and I know the MTA agrees," Councilmember Kalman Yeger said in a statement. "I'm hopeful that this express option expands to more hours in the near future." Yeger represents Bensonhurst, Borough Park and Midwood, all neighborhoods along the F lineYeger's predecessor, David Greenfield, often blasted the MTA for playing politics with the line he called "the F-Bomb in Brooklyn."
"Southern Brooklyn residents have really received the short end of the stick for years when it comes to mass transit," Councilmember Mark Treyger told the Eagle Wednesday morning, adding that, while other neighborhoods are constantly celebrating improvements, he and his colleagues in the south of the borough are too often advocating against cuts. "We needed to see some more transit equity, so I'm pleased to see the MTA taking these first steps."
Byford, Treyger said, is a "man of his word."
"When I met with him, I told him that Coney Island alone is slated to see at least 5,000 to 10,000 new units of additional housing over the course of the next few years," he said, stressing that, for countless Coney residents, the commute to Manhattan can be an hour and a half each way — on a good day. Coney Island, the last stop on the F train, is among the neighborhoods in Treyger's district.
"Residents who live on the western end of the peninsula have a 15- to 20-minute bus ride to the Stillwell Avenue station. Add a 50-minute train ride, when there aren't signal delays, and you've got a really burdensome commute," he said. "I think this is a welcome first step, but we need something more permanent."

Out-of-service bus explodes in Stockholm, driver injured
The driver of the bus was rushed to the hospital with burns. No passengers were on the bus.
Watch a bus engulfed by flames in Stockholm
By Janelle Griffith
A bus exploded after crashing into a barrier near the entrance of a tunnel in Stockholm, Sweden, on Sunday, police said.
The city's police department tweeted that the driver of the bus was rushed to the hospital with burns. No passengers were on the bus.
The department said the incident was being investigated as a traffic accident.
Photos from the scene posted on social media showed the bus consumed in flames and thick black smoke rising from the wreckage.
The Stockholm police told the Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet that the bus ran on natural gas.
Stockholm fire and rescue officials were called to the Klara Tunnel in central Stockholm at about 11:25 a.m. local time.
A witness, Björn Wallentin, told Aftonbladet: "I heard a big explosion and then several smaller ones. It sounded like the scaffolding of a building falling down. I thought it was a terror attack."
The newspaper said the out-of-service bus was on its way to a bus depot in the northern part of the city where the driver's bus route was to start.

Q: Use cases for Ruby's EOB construct I recently came across the Ruby EOB / -EOB construct within this context (from the Ruby id3 library) :
def initialize(...)
  # ...

  instance_eval <<-EOB
    class << self

      def parse
        # ...
        # Method code
        # ...
      end
  EOB
  self.parse # now we're using the just defined parsing routine

  # ...
end

I understand that the code is used to generate a method on the fly, yet I would like to know if it would be possible to use the EOB snippet within a method. I would like to write a method which generates some other method code , which is to be included in yet another class. This sounds a bit confusing, I'll try to illustrate my intention with some simplified code samples :
# This class reads the code of another
# Ruby class and injects some methods
class ReadAndInject

  # The method which defines another method
  def get_code_to_be_injected
    "\tdef self.foo\n"+
    "\t\tputs 'bar'\n"+
    "\tend\n"
  end

  # Main entry point, reads a generated Ruby Class
  # and injects specific methods within it
  def read_and_inject

    # Assume placeholder for currently read line,
    # add the generated code within
    current_line += "\n#{get_code_to_be_injected}"
  end

end # class ReadAndInject

This would work, since the method to be injected is added correctly. Yet I was wondering if using the EOB construct would yield some advantages (e.g. better visibility of the code, since no cumbersome tabs or string concatenations would have to be added.
To conclude, is this a good use case for EOB ?
It seems like a shady yet powerful construct, I've ducked it, googled and stackoverflow'd it yet no significant code samples other than one from RubyCocoa were returned. I've only recently started to use meta constructs in Ruby, so please be gentle :-)
Thanks in advance!

A: These are called "here documents", which are supported by several languages, and allow you to make a multi-line string. You can actually use any delimiter, not just EOB. Ruby has some extra features for heredocs: for example, the - in <<-EOB allows you to indent the delimiter.
You might use it like this:
def code_to_be_injected
  <<-EOS
    def self.foo
      puts 'bar'
    end
  EOS
end

Some additional features in Ruby:
myvar = 42
<<EOS
variable: #{myvar}
EOS #=> "variable: 42"

<<'EOS'
variable: #{myvar}
EOS #=> "variable: #{myvar}"

print <<A, <<B
This will appear first
A
and this second
B

Christ Has Returned to Earth and Preaches Here Nightly
Leonard Gardner
From the small, flat, hot, treeless, asphalted valley town of Tracy, California—split by a six-lane highway and surrounded by fields of sugar beets, alfalfa, and tomatoes—an enormous pink car one day departed by the eastern end without previously entering by the western end, this car being the property of a permanent resident, Ernest Grubb, nineteen, who was in turn the property of a finance company. Ernest's fingernails were rimmed in black and there were black specks embedded in the blemishes on his cheeks. Painted on the rear fenders of the car, though it was only a week out of the show room, were the words VALENTINO RETURNS.
Sunk in the passenger side of the front seat were the meager contours of Harry Ames, also nineteen, with a complexion he sometimes attributed to parental malice. His fingernails were clean. He had just been removed from unemployment insurance rolls in accordance with a code section under the leading "Failure to Seek Work." Harry was taking Ernest Grubb, with Ernest furnishing the car and gas, to a rendezvous with two divorcees in the neighboring town of Stockton. Until that day he had only mentioned one divorcee (and he mentioned her at every opportunity), but now it appeared there had always been two and that he divided his attentions equally between them, which made it sound as if there were only one. Ernest felt an innate caution around friends in need of chauffeurs, but as he had yet to score anything with his new car in a week of cruising, he could not decline Harry's proposition.

Artists were inspired by the workshop that was held at the International Image Film Festival for Women at St Andrews International High School in Blantyre on March 22.
The workshop organised by Zimbabwean-based International Image Film Festival in conjunction with Malawian First Wave Pictures, was part of a film festival held at the school and was attended by Saint Andrews High School Senior Drama Students, Artists from Nanzikambe Arts, Dikamawoko Arts, as well as amateur film makers from Blantyre.Artists were inspired by the workshop that was held at the International Image Film Festival for Women at St Andrews International High School in Blantyre on March 22.
The workshop organised by Zimbabwean-based International Image Film Festival in conjunction with Malawian First Wave Pictures, was part of a film festival held at the school and was attended by Saint Andrews High School Senior Drama Students, Artists from Nanzikambe Arts, Dikamawoko Arts, as well as amateur film makers from Blantyre.
The theme of the film festival was theme Women Alive: Women of Heart, aimed at giving Malawian women a spotlight and it draws funding from European Union.
During the workshop, participants discussed issues that affect women filmmakers in Africa and Malawi. The workshop included a review session of the films that were screened during the festival.
Some of the films that were screened and subjected to debate included Imbabazi, a film based on the Rwandan Genocide and I want a wedding Dress – a film shot in Zimbabwe which triggered debates on gender issues in film.
Villant Ndasowa director of First Wave Pictures said they realised the uniquesness of film in comparison to other art forms since it combines numerous art forms.
"We realized through the festival we capture most art forms from literature, visual arts and performing arts at once," said Villant.
She decried lack of funding as one of the challenges the film industry is facing in Malawi and Africa.
"We are planning to hold a similar event at Mzuzu University in April and we are hoping it will also have great patronage as it was in Blantyre," said Ndasowa.

In a shocking twist of events for ride-hailing app Uber, Transport for London (TfL) has refused to renew its private hire operator license in London and slammed the company for lacking "corporate responsibility". Uber management has stated that they will immediately challenge this ruling in the courts.
The taxi service will continue on London roads until the company has exhausted the appeals process, which could reportedly take months.

I'm a Mess
FRANK IERO and the PATIENCE. announces second album
September 7, 2016 — Leave a comment
Months after changing the name of his new group, former My Chemical Romance guitarist Frank Iero has announced plans to release a new album. On Wednesday (Sept. 7), the vocalist/guitarist confirmed not only the group's new moniker, but also the title of their sophomore album. The new record will be titled Parachutes and is set to be released on Oct. 28 through Hassle Records.
"It's a team that had been on my mind for a while. I heard stories about Ross that scared me to death, but honestly, nothing could have prepared me for the reality of what it is like to work with him," explained Iero about working with producer Ross Robinson on the new album earlier this year.
"It was the most heartbreaking yet uplifting, depleting yet inspiring experience I have ever had. I found out things about myself and the songs I was writing that changed me forever. I am so proud of this record, it really took everything I had, and I know I could not have made it with anyone else."
When he reached the topic about changing the band's name from Frnkiero and the cellabration to Frank Iero and the Patience, he had the following to say: "When I first started this journey, I brought a band along that filled in the gaps of what I lacked. I was uncomfortable in my position, so I brought a celebration or a 'cellabration' to distract from my awkwardness. Now, in my life, I need to learn how to slow down and love where I am. I need the patience to appreciate the now."
In addition to the official name changes and the new title of the album, Iero and company have also released the lead single from the upcoming album. The new song is titled "I'm a Mess" and can currently be streamed below.
According to Iero's social media accounts, he advises fans to keep an eye out for more news later this week which will feature some upcoming tour stops. Parachutes is the follow-up to the band's 2014 release, stomachaches.
