One who used to have a pair of these in the mid-80's say that these sneakers are just as good as they were before.
Numerous satisfied consumers would recommend these trainers.
According to one purchaser, the ZX 280 SPZL looks better in person than in pictures.
A couple of users find this rare edition sneaker beautifully-made and well-crafted.
Many are fans of the throwback style as it can capture both the Spezial and the ZX range essence.
Few of the reviewers comment on how comfortable the Adidas ZX 280 SPZL is.
Some of the commenters appreciate the colorway of the sneakers.
One finds the price of these sneakers a bit too high.
Although the silhouette of the shoe is praise-worthy, the yellow Three Stripes does not appeal to one tester.
A purchaser mentioned that there are glue markings that are visible on the suede upper.
There is no stopping a designer from taking a look back to the archives and becoming inspired in recreating classic designs and making it adapt to modernity. The ZX 280 SPZL, an additional piece to Gary Aspden's creations, features a rave-era inspired shoe which the combines iconic SPZL and ZX series. The combination of two legends results into a unique sneaker that is modern yet delivers a major retro appeal. Although the price may be a tad steep at $130, users can go back to the Second Summer of Love through a beautifully-crafted shoe.
Extremely popular sneakers because of their price range, versatility when it comes to style, and freedom of movement. Almost everyone is guaranteed to have low-top sneakers in their shoe rotation.
Mid-top sneakers extend toward the ankle for a little more support and hold. These lie somewhere in the middle between low-top and high-top sneakers in terms of usage and popularity.
Sneakers with collars that go above the ankles for optimal hold and support are some of the most sought-after models in lifestyle shoes. Most of these shoes take their roots from basketball and have easily or fashionably crossed to mainstream wear.
Regardless of cut, it's always good to start with sneakers that can be worn for the daily grind, also called as "beaters" by some, as these are usually cheaper, easy to clean, and still gives that lifestyle "edge" before going for those wallet-thinning models.
Sneakers dominantly take their heritage from running, basketball, skate, tennis, training, hiking, and football. Still retaining a few of their performance-based technologies, these sneakers have transcended their respective niches and have successfully and popularly transformed themselves as staples of fashion footwear.
Sneakers designed for a laidback, "cool" vibe that is built for lifestyle wear right from the get-go.
Brands are now blending elements of performance and casual appeal in basically every sneaker. One can hardly go wrong with a sports-inspired sneaker or a simple casual shoe.
A masterful team-up between two or more entities, usually between brands and artists, pro-athletes, designers, and boutique labels. Limited Releases are very popular and are normally sold out in just hours or minutes upon release despite the hefty price tag. Collaborative works for General Release regularly come with a decent price tag, but can sometimes cost an arm and a leg because of hype, social media anticipation, or marketing strategy. Kanye's collab with Adidas is one such example.
Shoes sharing the same inspiration, history, materials, or technologies are routinely assembled under one compilation for the convenience of those who may wish to categorize or label their own collection as such. The classic collections like the Adidas Originals, Air Max 1, Air Force 1, new balance classic sneakers, and the Classic Leather head the pack of frequently asked about collections.
The Adidas ZX 280 SPZL is a tribute to the iconic silhouette previously released called Spezial. Initially launched in 1979, the sneaker was marketed to be a high-end handball shoe. The shoe was able to fill in the high demand for the sport and address the heavy friction and sharp movement of the players.
Because of the suede upper, the Spezial is often confused for the Gazelle. Because of its minimal appearance, matched with ample cushioning, reinforced heel panel, and gum outsole, users find it fashionable casual footwear during the 80s.
Designer Gary Aspden, took inspiration from the Manchester circa 88-89, when the mentioned sneaker was a party staple. The whole line he has created features the silhouette the SPZL recalibrated into the rave scene. With the comeback of the Spezial, its inclusion in the ZX family, another retro shape, gives a different twist and an interesting update on the classic.
As part of the Spring/Summer 2018 collection, Adidas creative consultant Gary Aspden digs more in-depth on the brand's history. One the second half of his line, he took inspiration from the United Kingdom's acid house music and rave parties called the "Second Summer of Love."
From going down the memory lane, Aspden was able to produce a tangible throwback that gives nostalgia, combining his experiences on summers spent in Ibiza circa '88 and '89. Because of this, the sneaker exudes the vibe of being the ideal shoe for all-night ravers.
The Adidas ZX 280 SPZL is a men's sneaker that is available in men's sizes ranging from 5-12. Women wishing to avail of this style can go 1.5 sizes down their usual for the ideal fit. Based on reviews, these sneakers fit a bit small. Because of this, it is recommended to go a half or a full size up. The suede reinforcement on the lace-up closure allows users to adjust the tightness of the sneaker to their liking.
They say when things aren't broken, don't fix it. Based on the updates done on the Adidas Gazelle, this seems to be the brand's mantra. The ZX 280 SPZL sports not only a vintage look but a retro-inspired EVA midsole, which may seem a bit outdated especially with the sea of footwear technologies, but still good enough to provide lightweight cushioning for everyday wear.
The upper of this shoe is composed of premium pigskin suede with textile quarter panels and underlays.
The label on the tongue sports a replica of the vintage Adidas logo.
These sneakers have a Spezial-branded sock liner which boosts the comfort when worn.

Vai ter copa

Se você não odiar a Copa, não virar as costas pra ela, meu caro… é um alienado político! Um brasileirinho acomodado que aceita tudo isso.

Passei as ultimas duas semanas pensando se deveria curtir a copa, infelizmente nao estarei no país. Desde criança sonhei em ver uma copa "em casa", nao será dessa vez…

Entretanto, essa minha idéia de que não deveria curtir a copa por causa da corrupção eu já joguei de lado.

Fosse assim, eu deveria parar de assistir a F1 no Bahrein, Interlagos, China e tantas outras corridas bilionárias feitas em lugares sem o minimo de condições…

Fosse assim, as olimpiadas de Pequim deveriam ter sido boicotadas mundialmente, inclusive por mim…

Fosse assim, eu não usaria um macbook fabricado em sabe-se lá quais condições…

Fosse assim, eu não comeria carne vermelha, nem industrializada, não usaria carro, luz elétrica, agua na privada…

Acho que meu desafio como cristão é viver neste inferno sem me tornar um demonio… o "chefe" já disse: não quero que eles saiam do mundo, apenas que sejam livres do mal. Amém!

Me deixem curti-la sem culpa.

The DPS-700 redundant power supply (RPS) is designed to conform to the wattage requirements of D-Link's Ethernet and Gigabit switches. It is external RPS units enclosed in solid metal cases with sockets to AC or DC power sources on one end, and connect to a switch's internal power supply on the other end. It provides a low-cost, simple solution to the problem of an inadvertent failure of the internal power-supply of an Ethernet switch, which can result in the shutdown of that switch, the devices attached to its ports, or an entire network. Supporting full output power for the switch, these redundant power supplies can maximize the power availability of the switching device.

Sister, Sister's Marques Houston and Wife Miya Dickey Welcome Their 1st Baby
By Riley Cardoza
Blue Gregory
This Sister, Sister star is now a father! Marques Houston and his wife, Miya Dickey, welcomed daughter Zara on Thursday, December 2, Us Weekly can exclusively confirm.
Celebrities Who Secretly Welcomed Children
"Miya chose the name Zara because she just felt like it was exotic. [There was] no special reason," Houston, 40, gushed to Us on Wednesday, December 8. "She just wanted our girl to have a memorable name that wasn't the average name. It still feels surreal, like, it hasn't set in yet that we are actually not just babysitting one of our friends' kids. But not getting any sleep definitely reminds us that we are now parents."
The pair did not publicly announce their pregnancy news prior to their little one's arrival.
The actor got engaged to the California native, 21, in March 2019 after five months of dating. "She said 'YES,'" Houston told his Instagram followers at the time.

The couple tied the knot in August 2020 in California, two months after Houston defended their age difference.
"With all that's going on in the world, my love life shouldn't be a topic," the singer wrote via Instagram in June 2020 amid the coronavirus pandemic. "But since it is, let me just give y'all the facts so you don't have to 'allegedly' believe or create rumors. … This is not music or television, this is my family, my future wife and my life."
The former IMx member went on to write that he didn't start dating Dickey until "she was an adult," writing, "We have [our God] Jehovah's blessing. So to all the rumors about me, none of it is true! And that's the story. No twists, no turns, no scandals, just true love. There is nothing that can come to light, because there's no darkness in my life."
The Los Angeles called his partner his "forever love" in an April Instagram tribute. "Not perfect, far from it. But two imperfect people with Jehovah No. 1 can be perfect for each other and that's us," Houston wrote.

Berlin mulls tighter gun laws
Germany's coalition government has promised to seek whatever legal means necessary to prevent another mass shooting. But if the weapon was acquired illegally, stricter controls on gun purchases may not be the answer.
https://p.dw.com/p/1JUzM
In the wake of the shooting in Munich that left nine people and the gunman dead, German leaders on Sunday were already preparing talks on stricter gun control.
Both ruling parties, the center-right Christian Democrats (CDU) of Chancellor Angela Merkel and the center-left Social Democrats (SPD), agreed that more stringent laws were necessary to prevent copycat attacks.
"We have to very carefully gauge if and how it is possible to use legal means," to stop another such incident, Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere told the "Bild am Sonntag" newspaper.
Vice Chancellor Sigmar Gabriel echoed this sentiment in other media outlets, yet the problem remains that Germany's laws are already so tough the government is left with little more that it can do legislatively.
Strict gun statutes
Although they are usually kept out of sight, Germans do not necessarily shy away from guns. Indeed, the country has the fourth-highest gun ownership per capita in the world. But weapon ownership is considered a privilege, not a right, and a firearms license is only granted after an individual has met numerous stringent criteria, including expert knowledge (usually gained by attending a months-long course), and necessity - under which rule self-defense is not considered good enough reason.
There are three levels of gun permits in Germany: for competitive shooting, hunting, and for experts and collectors whose purchases must be individually submitted for approval.
Investigators have revealed that the 18-year-old German-Iranian man who committed the attack on a Munich shopping center was known to suffer from depression and said in a YouTube video that he had received in-patient psychiatric treatment. This means he would not have passed the psychological exam and "personal adequacy" provision needed for a gun license.

Authorities probe how teen acquired gun illegally
Police have confirmed that the killer did not have a permit, and thus that his weapon was obtained illegally, though how still remains a mystery. This also means that any legal preventive action will have to address the illicit gun market, for which action by the German government may not be enough.
Indeed, some analysts have suggested that the free movement allowed by the Schengen Area has allowed for guns more easily purchased in eastern Europe, either inside or outside the EU, to be funneled all over the continent. This means the problem might be best addressed at the European level.
As the Munich shooting was the third act of violence targeted at random civilians in Europe in a little over a week, one might hope not only Berlin but also Brussels will act quickly to address the bloodshed across the EU.
Expert: Depression is no motive for mass violence
Police have said the suspected Munich attacker exhibited "signs of depression." In a DW interview, suicide researcher Georg Fiedler discusses the complexity of the case and draws parallels to similar previous incidents. (23.07.2016)
Munich shooting - teenager kills nine and himself
Police currently believe that an 18-year-old German-Iranian acted alone, killing nine people and then himself. They have not yet identified a motive; the man had no criminal record. Munich spent hours under lockdown. (23.07.2016)

Rear Adm. Keith Smith, commander of Force Readiness Command, signs the Memorandum of Agreement alongside Dr. JoAnn W. Haysbert, Chancellor and Provost at Hampton University, Jan. 30, 2018. This MOA means another year of partnership between the Coast Guard and Hampton University through the Coast Guard College Student Pre-Commissioning Initiative program. U.S. Coast Guard photo by Lt. Cmdr. Kelli Dougherty.
How can the Coast Guard recruit and maintain a proficient, self-motivated and adaptable workforce in today's world?
As a way to build this diverse and demographically relevant workforce, Force Readiness Command (FORCECOM), in coordination with Coast Guard Training Center Yorktown, established a partnership with Hampton University (HU) in Hampton, Virginia, in December 2015. Hampton University is one of several historically black colleges and universities in the U.S., and is home to the Coast Guard's College Student Pre-Commissioning Initiative (CSPI) Scholarship Program.
Students who are accepted into the CSPI program are enlisted in the Coast Guard and receive full funding for two years of college. Their funding includes payment of tuition, textbooks, and other school fees, along with receiving a full-time Coast Guard salary, housing allowance and medical benefits. Hampton University offers degrees that are relevant to the Coast Guard missions and help identify student and faculty research and development opportunities in areas of interest to the Coast Guard.

On Tuesday, Jan. 30, 2018, Rear Adm. Keith Smith, FORCECOM commander, sat down with Dr. JoAnn W. Haysbert, Chancellor and Provost of Hampton University, to sign the Memorandum of Agreement between the U.S. Coast Guard and the university. The signing of this document symbolizes another two years of a fruitful educational partnership between the university and the Coast Guard. The signing of the memorandum also coincided with the university's 150th anniversary since the Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute was founded in 1868.
Hampton University is one of the few universities that still has a curfew in place for the students to keep them out of trouble and focused on the future they are building for themselves. In addition to having a curfew, students at HU cannot have a car on campus until their junior year. This rule is in place to maximize the students' opportunities to remain on campus where they can foster stronger bonds with their fellow classmates. These rules, as well as others put in place by the university, help to graduate talented men and women who share the core values of the Coast Guard: Honor, Respect, and Devotion to Duty.
Since the late 80s and early 90s, when the Coast Guard first came to Hampton University, there have been 30 students/graduates who have served, are currently serving, or will be serving in the Coast Guard following graduation from the university and the CSPI program.
Officer Trainee Jonathan Rogers, a senior at HU pursuing a degree in Marine Environmental Science, asked Smith how his transition from an enlisted Coast Guardsman to an officer made him a more effective leader.
Officer Trainees Camarie Clark (junior), Jonathan Rogers (senior) and LaMaya Samuel (junior), pose together after briefing Adm. Keith Smith on the history and importance of Hampton University. These three trainees will go on to graduate and serve full-time in the U.S. Coast Guard.

FORCECOM, through Training Center Yorktown, has recruited new CSPI students by fostering Coast Guard recruiter presence on campus to spread the word about the program and the opportunities of a career in the Coast Guard. This program grows and develops more each year, and FORCECOM is happy to be partnered with Hampton University in this effort to better the Coast Guard through a quality workforce.


Home » Dessert » How To Make The Best Meyer Lemon Pudding Cake!
Fluffy Meyer lemon pudding cakes, that are nut-free, and made with coconut flour make the most amazing dessert! Top with some coconut whipped cream for a delicious gluten-free treat! Paleo, dairy-free!
Recently, at the grocery store, I was in the produce section. Lots of colors and heaps of food everywhere. It was what I call an organized mess, in a way. (a.k.a. a foodie's happy place).
But, out of the corner of my eye, I spotted a mound of vividly bright yellow lemons. Time to make my Meyer Lemon Pudding Cake!
Try to have all ingredients at room temperature. It is easier to mix, whip etc… And the lemons release their juices easier when at room temperature. I store lemons and limes on the counter at all times.
If making coconut whipped cream, prepare ahead of time and store in the refrigerator so it is ready to go.
Honestly, I didn't realize how much I adore lemon desserts until I made this Meyer Lemon Pudding Cake. It is a recipe that I get requests for and once made seems to disappear quickly.
I would say the taste is a cross between a cake and pudding. The top has a cake like crust, but then down below you find a more pudding consistency.
These delicious pudding cakes pair well with freshly made coconut milk whipped cream. In the photos, I have used a piping bag with tip to get the swirly design to top off the pudding cakes.
Then I garnished with coconut chips and lemon zest.
Meyer lemons are not always available in my neck of the woods. So, whenever they are available, I pick up a few to make these pudding cakes.
Meyer Lemons first came to the US in the early 1900's from China by Frank Meyer. They are described by some as a cross between a lemon and a mandarin orange.
The tip on squeezing lemons works the best with really ripe, somewhat soft lemons that easily release their juice. Look for a vivid orange-lemon rind because it means the fruit was fully ripe when picked at harvest. Meyer lemons spoil quickly, so buy when the skin is bright and shiny.
After a few days, they will shrivel and become hard, so it's best to use them right away. This has happened to me so I started using the fab tip below. You will always have Meyer lemons available with this tip!
Tip: if you know you won't use your Meyer lemons right away, zest and juice them. Both can be frozen. I place the juice in an ice cube tray or silicone mold and freeze. Then when I need I have zest and juice available and nothing goes to waste.
Refrigerate the can of coconut milk overnight (or for at least 5 hours) because you want the coconut milk to be very cold. This is how it whips up into a "cream".
When ready to make your coconut whipped cream, scoop out the thick, white, coconut cream in the can. The "coconut water" that is left is great for smoothies.
Put the cold coconut cream in the bowl of an electric mixer and using the whipping attachment, whip for about 2-3 minutes until very creamy with no lumps.
Then add the powdered sugar and whip for one more minute. Add the vanilla and mix thoroughly. It should be ready to go at this point. Do a taste test to see if it is sweet enough. I like to use a piping bag with tip for serving, but that isn't necessary.
I really like this great, step by step, a tutorial showing how to make the coconut whipped cream.
A delicious, refreshing dessert custard pudding cake. I have topped mine in the photo with coconut whipped cream. For best results, use Meyer lemons.
Place 6 ramekins on a baking sheet and spray ramekins lightly with spray oil (I use coconut oil).
In a new, separate mixing bowl, place zest, lemon juice, yolks, coconut milk, maple syrup and vanilla extract and whisk until fully incorporated.
To this mixing bowl, add coconut flour, salt, and mix until combined.
Next, add whipped egg whites and gently incorporate by folding until fully combined.
Pour mixture into the ramekins (or can use a small glass baking dish) filling almost to top.
Bake for 20-25 minutes until pudding cups are just slightly browned on top and filling is set.
Cool and then top with coconut milk whipped cream to serve.
Notes: I have also made this pudding by using one larger glass baking dish or a few larger baking dishes and scooping out portions. It works just as well. I have shown an example in the photos.
I have made this recipe using 3 extra large eggs (instead of 4 regular eggs) and it worked well.
*I have also used 3 extra large eggs and the recipe worked well.

Recipe looks good! One question, does it call for 1/3 cup zest?
Hi Alex! You'll need 1/3 cup meyer lemon juice and zest of one meyer lemon. Enjoy!

Divorce is a horrible painful thing. If you can save your marriage, I recommend you put all your effort into it.
If your marriage can not be saved, divorce is the process of ending it. This process is expensive, takes time and effort and is very upsetting.
First, just look at the process from a non lawyer perspective. There are two people with assets and one set of bills. After a divorce and during, there are two sets of bills and the same income. It does not work.
Second, a divorce attorney is going to want a $5,000 retainer to start. This retainer is billed hourly. Unfortunately, the billing seems to go on and on despite the fact that most cases can or could be settled early on in the process. This is generally caused by the emotion of the parties. The parties are upset, that is why they are filing for divorce. This generally leads to unnecessary litigation because the parties are being unreasonable. By unreasonable, I mean the parties are upset and want to fight.
Third, the process is adversarial. The parties are already mad at each other and now the process itself leads to more expense and taking an adversarial position in the litigation process.
Remember, there are NO WINNERS in a divorce. It is an expensive, adversarial process that by definition ends with two people splitting their assets and having double the bills.
I always examine the situation and recommend a fair settlement. The process is by statute. Generally 50-50 split of assets and debts. If a settlement can not be reached, I will do as instructed by my client.
In the end, there is a hearing in front of a Judge, no jury, and the Judge will make the decisions for you in what he or she believes to be a fair manner.
As with all cases, I will provide a free consultation to evaluate your individual situation.
Just be advised, divorce is difficult both emotionally and monetarily. Being able to remove the emotion and being ready to compromise can save time, aggravation and money.

"Harlequin (software)" is a raster image processor first released in 1990 under the name ScriptWorks running as a command-line application to render PostScript language files under Unix. It was developed by Harlequin, a software company based in Cambridge, England.

History
ScriptWorks was created in 1986 as the final year University project of software developer Andy Cave. The project was dedicated to building a subset of a postscript interpreter that could preview the conversion of LaTeX to PostScript so that the PhD students would use less paper on the new LaserWriter. Although only a subset was required, Cave ended up creating quite a complete implementation. In 1987, Cave joined Harlequin Limited, founding the RIP division.

In the early 1990s, Harlequin was commissioned by Xenotron to develop a raster image processor to run on Macintosh computers to drive their Ultre-based image setters, exposing onto film and resin-coated paper. The Macintosh version proved successful, and Harlequin signed up a number of other Original equipment manufacturer (OEM) partners to sell it, including Pongrass, ECRM, Autologic, Xitron, Koronix, Purup, Graphic Enterprises and Compose.

In 1992, a DOS variation of ScriptWorks was developed, and was also sold through OEM partners, before being replaced by a version running under Microsoft Windows in 1993.

In 1999, Harlequin went into receivership and was bought by Global Graphics. The Harlequin Group, including all staff and assets, was renamed to Global Graphics Software Limited. The Unix-based command-line version of ScriptWorks was phased out, and a few years later ScriptWorks was renamed to Harlequin RIP.

RIP variants
From 2004 onwards Global Graphics expanded the reach of the Harlequin RIP by producing a number of variants for different market sectors:
 The Harlequin Server RIP (HSR) is designed for use in most production print segments other than pure-play digital press systems. It includes a graphical user interface (GUI) and can accept files from a wide variety of sources and export rasters to a huge number of output devices and file formats using input and output plugins.
 The Harlequin Host Renderer (HHR) is designed for use in digital front ends (DFEs) for digital production presses. It can be integrated very tightly with the rest of the system and can be effectively implemented in large RIP farms. HHR can also be integrated into software applications where there's a need for creation of raster representations of pages.
 The Harlequin Embedded SDK (EBD) is designed for use on controller-boards embedded within home and office printers.

The Harlequin RIP is sold only through OEM partners, each of whom builds it into their own prepress system, Digital Front End (DFE) or controller. It is therefore sold under a variety of names and it is not always easy to identify whether a system uses a Harlequin RIP or not.

RIP capabilities
Current versions of the Harlequin RIP can interpret:
 PostScript language files
 Portable Document Format (PDF)
 XML Paper Specification (XPS)
 Encapsulated PostScript (EPS)
 Desktop Color Separations (DCS)
 Tagged Image File Format (TIFF)
 JPEG
 JPEG 2000
 JPEG XR / HD Photo
 Bitmap Image (BMP)

The Harlequin Embedded SDK also supports  Printer Command Language 5e, PCL 5c and PCL XL, including HPGL and Printer Job Language (PJL).

All file formats are interpreted natively, without conversion to an intermediate format (PDF is not converted to PostScript and vice versa, for example). Global Graphics claims that processing without conversion allows for higher speeds and avoids artifacts arising from the conversion.

Native processing of live transparency in PDFs was recognized by several awards: Publishing Essential's Impact Award for "RIP of the Year" in 1997 and 1998 and the Silver Award in the Pre-press News and Publishing Awards of 1997 for "RIP/Server product of the year".

The Harlequin RIP also explicitly supports PDF/X-1a:2001, PDF/X-1a:2003, PDF/X-3:2002, PDF/X-3:2003, PDF/X-4, PDF/X-4p, PDF/X-5g and PDF/X-5pg and can be set to reject files that do not comply with those standards, or to include conformance information on the control strip of a proof.

Harlequin's OEM partners have built DFEs with full support for additional formats such as the Personalized Print Markup Language (PPML) around the Harlequin RIP.

A number of extra components are available for the variants of the Harlequin RIP, leading to descriptions of the Harlequin Server RIP as a "prepress workflow in a box". Included and additional options include:

 ColorPro – in-RIP color management (formerly known as Harlequin ICC Profile Processor (HIPP)). (Available in EBD, HHR, HSR).
 Font emulation – if a PostScript or PDF file is submitted to the RIP and does not include all of the fonts required embedded within it, and if those fonts are also not pre-installed in the RIP then they can be emulated to provide a reasonable simulacrum of the original font. The emulated fonts match the widths, weight and general style of the missing font and it is claimed that reproduction is usually good enough that a reader who had not seen the page with the original fonts in place would not notice any issues. Font emulation is therefore very useful for quick-print and corporate reproduction departments, and for display advertising in publication and newsprint. Global Graphics was presented with a GATF Intertech award in 2007 for font emulation. (Available in EBD, HHR, HSR).
 Harlequin Cross-Modulated screening (HXM) – this halftone technology combines aspects of stochastic and conventional screens to retain fine detail without the problems of noise occasionally encountered with pure stochastic screens. (Available in HHR, HSR).
 Harlequin Dispersed Screening (HDS) – this stochastic screening technology can be used to retain fine detail in images. (Available in EBD, HHR, HSR).
 JDF support – the JDF Enabler can be added to a Harlequin RIP to enable it to accept jobs in CIP4's Job Definition Format (JDF). The Harlequin RIP with the JDF Enabler was the first product to be formally certified by CIP4 in 2004. (Available in HSR).
 Open Prepress Interchange (OPI) – 'thin' PostScript and PDF files containing low resolution "For position only" (FPO) images may be submitted to the RIP, which will replace the image data with high-resolution files held locally. The equivalent Desktop Color Separations (DCS) format is also supported, as are reference XObjects in PDF files. (Available in HHR, HSR).
 PDF Retained Raster – a technology designed to maximize performance of Variable data printing (VDP) jobs, even if they are delivered as basic PDF files instead of a specialist VDP format. Shared page backgrounds are identified and rendered only once, then merged with variable text foregrounds. (Available in HHR, HSR).
 Simple imposition – fully automated in-RIP imposition of PDF files for 2- and 4-up saddle stitch, 4-up perfect binding, step & repeat, cut & stack etc. (Available in EBD, HHR, HSR).
 TrapPro – in-RIP trapping solution, supporting trap zone and trapping parameters delivered in PostScript language or PJTF commands within a PDF file, and also configuration within the RIP's GUI. TrapPro includes a number of advanced features such as small object protection, mitered, sliding, anamorphic, narrowed and feathered traps. (Available in HHR, HSR).

Over the years, thousands of visitors, many from all parts of the world, have enjoyed the steam train excursions through the Sierra National Forest. Current features include the daily one-hour narrated steam train trips, Moonlight Special complete with a New York steak barbecue and musical entertainment, and gold panning for the 'little' ones.
Among the nearly sold-out first trip of the season March 7, was Dustin and Teri Smith, who along with their two children, Emilie, 6, and Bryce, 4, rode the train for the first time, along with nana, papa, and cousins.
Another family, Lane and DeeAnna Stein, and their two children, Heather, 10, and David, 8, were staying in a hotel in Merced where they picked-up a Sugar Pine Railroad brochure. They were on their way to Yosemite, and decided to come through Oakhurst to ride the train instead of entering the park via Highway 140.
Lane said learning about the area's lumber industry history was very informative and the train ride took him back in time with visions of rugged lumberjacks cutting and hauling timber out of the forest nearly 100 years ago.
Greg Haywood is one of five engineers for YMSPRR, a job he has enjoyed for 33 years (the first 12 working weekends only). A retired auto-body repairman, Haywood said he loves his job.
He also loves the people, young and old, from all around the world who show a genuine interest in steam trains.
How the Yosemite Mountain Sugar Mountain Railroad came about 50 years ago is a story of a Swiss immigrant who was determined to make a better life for his young family in America.
After being forced to leave the Stauffer and Sons cheese business behind in Hungary in 1944, Rudy Stauffer moved his family back to his homeland in Switzerland. Forming a new cheese business in Switzerland was a difficult task and proved unsuccessful. With the opportunities offered in the United States, the family decided to immigrate and start a new life.
In 1950, with belongings in hand, the family (Rudy, wife Luce, and sons Guido, 6, and Max, 3, and cousin George) boarded the Queen Mary and started their journey to their new home. Wisconsin, the dairy state, seemed the obvious destination to begin anew the cheese business. It was in Wisconsin that youngest brother, Bob, was born in 1952. The business was started in a small kitchen in an old two-story building and developed into a major cheese producer supplying products for a number of national companies.
Rudy and his brother, Alex, were looking forward to a long life in the Midwest producing cheese under the Swiss Bear label, a throw back to the Hungarian times when their ancestors began the business in the 1880s. Rudy, having spent many days skiing and mountaineering in Switzerland, longed for the mountains. His godparents, Dr. Clarence and Liliane Wells, lived on a large mountain ranch near Yosemite, where Dr. Wells was the resident doctor at the Sugar Pine sawmill and had told many stories about the steam trains that hauled logs from the forests of Central California.
Rudy, being intrigued by the stories and the chance to see real mountains again, moved his family to property purchased from the Wells. With the idea of opening a resort near the national park, Rudy and Luce, in 1954, began developing the land and eventually built the Swiss Melody Inn. The resort was located on the old right-of-way of the Madera Sugar Pine Lumber Company, which ran logging trains through the mountains to supply the nearby mill. The Inn with the obvious Swiss theme became an extremely popular stop for Yosemite bound tourists, and Luce's Swiss restaurant cuisine soon become known throughout California.
Luce will celebrate her 97th birthday in May, and helped prepare and serve meals at the railroad up until a couple years ago.
More than 140 miles of narrow gauge track and a 54-mile flume were spread over the central Sierra Nevada. The flume sent lumber to Madera, where it was distributed to a worldwide market. As this history unfolded to Rudy, he became more and more interested in preserving this part of California's early days.
Railroad logging equipment from an old lumbering operation near Sonora became available in 1965. So Rudy, purchased a Shay locomotive, logging railcars and tons of spare parts - deciding that this was the perfect opportunity to see history relived in the mountains north of Oakhurst, near the southern entrance to Yosemite National Park. With the help of his wife and sons Max, Guido, and Bob, the Yosemite Mountain Sugar Pine Railroad was born.
An engine house, ticket office, and museum were built, and two miles of narrow gauge track was re-laid. In 1967, the inaugural run was made providing the public with a "ride into history" behind an authentic steam engine. In 1968, the Stauffers sold the Swiss Melody Inn, which later became known as the Narrow Gauge Inn.
In 1981, Rudy and Luce's son, Max, took over the railroad business. Since that time, another Shay, more passenger cars and a diesel electric locomotive were acquired. The two Shay locomotives, both approaching 100 years old, as well as the passenger cars are maintained in the railroad machine shops.
"Of course, at the time I had no idea I would still be operating these steam locomotives 35 years later," Max said.
Max credits his parents for having the vision to move to the Mountain Area, and starting and struggling with both the restaurant and railroad - two businesses no one thought would succeed.
Stauffer is well-known in the community having served as director of the Mountain Area Ski School for 20 years (a program originated by his father in the late 50s), past president and 30-year board member of the Yosemite Sierra Visitors Bureau, and 22-year member trustee of the Bass Lake Joint Union School District (formerly Oakhurst Elementary School District).

For a second imagine your company at the very cusp of technology, and providing services to customers instantly over the Internet. This is where we are today, and this is part of what it takes to leave an impression on our customers and provide services that truly enable businesses for the better – an intuitive and effortless user experience. Putting aside the warring elephants that provide such products and services worldwide, there are many niches that smaller service providers can take advantage of and make a big impact, and it is in this segment that our partner offering can help.
The notion of companies moving to the Cloud is all too real. In 2014, over 43% of Cloud adopters wish they had made the change earlier, and all for good reason considering the strategic move from Capex to Opex for IT expenditure, higher SLA's, the ability for companies to focus on core business, as well as on the fly changes to IT services and many more.
As a service provider, you may be questioning what the next evolutionary step in your company's portfolio will be. BMIT believes that an IT company looking to increase customer stickiness while leveraging margins and developing its' brand should adopt Cloud services as its new method to evangelize themselves in today's market. Delivering an added array of services (in this case Cloud) can help provide customers with a well-rounded one stop shop portfolio, allowing your customers to consolidate more lines of IT engagement, to you.
Be wary though that Cloud as a buzzword is often overused today, justifiable as it may be, since the term can apply from simple virtualization to complex on demand systems. As a service provider what you should be looking for is an easy entry without the large investments in training and infrastructure, with the assistance of a partner with your go-to-market. Differentiation strategy may point towards a USP such as a locally deployed Cloud solution white-labelled under your brand. On demand services are key to a valuable customer experience and grows your business in bottom line as well as through market perception.
This new growth can be further boosted by enabling a suite of services that go beyond the public cloud and also include services such as private and hybrid cloud, as well as hosting, co-lo and managed IT services.
This may sound like a lot of build and buy effort, though by selecting an effective partner like BMIT, they can be realized with ease, speed and agility.
Let's talk more about offering Cloud services, schedule a meeting & visit us.

Kovai shocker: Despite charges of sexual assault against principal, correspondent of deaf school, desperate parents want same management to reopen school ASAP
Parents are worried students will be unable to get admissions in other schools and will have to unfairly and unnecessarily miss out on a year
Johanna Deeksha
After the Correspondent was charged with sexual assault, the school was shut down without prior warning
A month after the police arrested the top management of a privately-run School for the Deaf in Coimbatore, parents are refusing to accept the closure of the school and want it opened ASAP — even if it means that it is run by the same management that has been accused of routinely sexually molesting special children for at least half a decade.
Around 110 students study at the private school for the deaf from Class Six to Class Twelve and without any warning, the school has been shut down by the District Collector. Rather strangely, the parents don't seem to mind that the very same management was complicit in hiding the abuse for years together. "The administration seems to have brainwashed these parents, the mostly come from rural backgrounds and are desperate. They are worried about their children and afraid that they have to discontinue or lose out on a year," S Namburajan, general secretary, Tamilnadu Association for the Rights of All Type of Differently Abled Caregivers.(TARATDAC)
The administration seems to have brainwashed these parents, the mostly come from rural backgrounds and are desperate. They are worried about their children and afraid that they have to discontinue or lose out on a year
S Namburajan, General Secretary, TARATDAC
About a month ago, two former students filed a case against the correspondent of the school, claiming he had been sexually abusing them and other girls at the school for years and even though members of the management knew, nobody said a word. A new teacher at the school investigated the matter after he noticed several students who didn't leave the school in spite of graduating and found out the ugly truth behind it.
After the arrest of the accused, the district collector directed the school to be shut down. "The parents have been told that the children will get admission but they can't just admit them in regular schools, they don't have any facilities to make the environment conducive to the hearing-impaired children. Also, in special schools, there should be just one teacher for eight students and that target will already be met by other special schools, so you can't just dump more children on them, it's unfair to both these students and the already registered students," Namburajan explained.
About a month ago, two former students filed a case against the correspondent of the school, claiming he had been sexually abusing them and other girls at the school for years and even though members of the management knew, nobody said a word.
All the 110 students could easily lose a year because of the shutdown, which is what is getting the parents riled up. The government should take up the issue and have someone from the state run the school and not include any member of the present management, advise activists. "If the state takes up the responsibility then the parents will be happy, they are just worried for their children. If they can be assured that school will start functioning, as usual, they will not mind who runs it," he said.

LAST NIGHT - APPLESOX 13, KELOWNA 3
KELOWNA – The Wenatchee AppleSox (17-30, 7-13 Second Half), were lifted by a season-best offensive performance over the Kelowna Falcons (22-22, 9-8), in a 13-3 victory to even the three-game series at Elks Stadium, Wednesday...early on, Wenatchee let Okeefe Hall (1-1) dig his own hole...the Falcon starter walked six batters and left the game in the third inning with the bases loaded and one out...four runs came to score on an error and two hits, including an RBI single for Dalton Harum, and an RBI single for Haydan Hastings...Harum finished an outstanding 3-for-4 with two walks for Wenatchee...Kelowna got one run off of Mac Lardner (1-2) in the bottom of the third on a groundout, but Wednesday night was all about the AppleSox...Wenatchee crossed its next three runs in the fifth and sixth innings, courtesy of four Falcon errors...Kelowna committed an opponent-high six errors in the loss...in the seventh, with the AppleSox still facing marathon reliever Cody Ahlgrimm, Michael Toglia clubbed an inside-the-park grand slam off the wall in center field...the grand slam gave Wenatchee an 11-1 advantage...the AppleSox added two more runs in the eighth and ninth innings, to complete five-straight scoring frames, and ran away late against Kelowna's second baseman turned pitcher, who was working in fireman's relief...Kelowna did come back for two more runs in the ninth against Adam Paulson on a triple and a single, however, Paulson worked 3 1/3 innings behind Lardner to earn his first save of the season.

Mac Lardner pitched 5 2/3 innings to pick up his first collegiate win last night...he was in and around the zone, only allowing one run to Kelowna, who tacked on two in the ninth.
FIRST WIN, EH?
With last night's victory, the AppleSox won their first game in Canada in 2016...they have just one more game left to go in Canada...tonight's contest.
IMPROVING AGAINST THE BEST
Wenatchee is now 5-13 against teams who were leading/sharing a lead of the WCL North and South Divisions at the start of a game...the AppleSox are 13-25 against teams with a better record.
GONNA BE TOUGH
Expect runs to be at a premium against Grady Miller tonight. He has only given up one earned run per game in each of his last three starts...he has averaged just over seven-innings per start during that three-game stretch.

Most Important Bulldogs: No. 11 Elgton Jenkins

Offensive lineman Elgton Jenkins ranks No. 11 on The Clarion-Ledger's most important Bulldogs.(Photo: Kelly Price/Special to The Clarion-Ledger)
STARKVILLE – Mississippi State's season opener against South Alabama is less than 100 days away, and the Southeastern Conference Media Days are a month away. The thirst for football only grew greater with the end of baseball season.
Looking ahead to media days, The Clarion-Ledger counts down the 20 most important Bulldogs in 2016.
For the next four weeks, Monday-Friday, we count down the players who matter the most to the success of Mississippi State football in 2016. This is not a straight talent evaluation — each player's role matters.
No. 11: Elgton Jenkins
Position: Left Tackle
Year: Redshirt sophomore
Height/weight: 6-foot-4, 304 pounds
In 2015: Jenkins played in 11 games last year, including three starts against Troy, Arkansas and Ole Miss. He gained playing time down the stretch because of injuries to Rufus Warren. He played both right and left tackle.
Offseason: Jenkins worked with the second-team offense for portions of the spring. He shuffled into the starting offensive line on a few occasions, but senior Justin Senior worked at left tackle and Martinas Rankin played right tackle. It began a competition between the three for two starting spots on the line.
In 2016: Jenkins didn't start the spring on the first team, but he possesses first-team talent. Coaches within the program view Jenkins as the Bulldogs' most projectable pro offensive lineman.
Mississippi State will need that talent this year.
The Bulldogs enter the season without a proven quarterback. They have four on the roster, and while each showed reasons for optimism during the spring, they also displayed signs to question their ability. Arguably, the most important spot on the line is left tackle, which protects the quarterback's blind side. There's a reason NFL teams use No. 1 overall picks on left tackles. The fact that Dak Prescott is gone and four inexperienced signal callers step into his role only highlights the position's importance.
MSU allowed 32 sacks last season, nine more than 2014. That line lost two starters as well. Prescott covered some of the protection's flaws with his ability and knowledge of the offense. This year's quarterback won't be able to do the same.
The only reason Jenkins isn't higher on the list is because he may not start based on where he played in the spring. While he's the most talented, Senior has the most career starts and Rankin worked with the first team in the spring.
All three can play right and left tackle. Offensive line coach John Hevesy said he rearranged the line during the spring to prepare for any movement that might occur in the regular season.
MSU's offense has talent on the outside with Fred Ross, Donald Gray, Malik Dear and Gabe Myles. Without proper protection from its tackles, the Bulldogs' quarterbacks may not be able to take advantage.
Full Countdown - The Most Important Bulldogs: No. 20; No. 19; No. 18; No. 17; No. 16; No. 15; No. 14; No. 13; No. 12

Prestige Guitars Adds Ginger Wildheart to Its A&R Roster
Prestige Guitars has announced the addition of British rock icon Ginger Wildheart to the company's A&R Roster.
"We can't express how pleased and honored we are to welcome Ginger to the Prestige family," said Adrian O'Brien, VP of Artist Relations at Prestige.
"He is a true artist that has always played by his own rules, challenging the boundaries of all things rock and exploring new directions. He has delved successfully into uncharted territory with his PledgeMusic campaigns, showing the next generation of professional musicians just how it should be done. There are big things to come from Ginger Wildheart and we are thankful that Prestige Guitars will now be a part of that story,"
Wildheart began in the early Nineties as founder of London-formed the Wildhearts, an anarchic and hard-to-define band that forged their own distinct brand of melodic hard rock, combining elements of punk, glam rock, metal and harmony-fueled pop.
As principal songwriter and lead vocalist, Ginger carried the Wildhearts through eight studio albums between 1990 and 2010, including Earth Vs. the Wildhearts and the critically acclaimed P.H.U.Q., The Wildhearts Must Be Destroyed, The Wildhearts and Chutzpah!.

All roads may lead to Rome, but the runways of style stretch all the way through Italy to arrive in Milan, the epicenter of Italy's thriving fashion industry. What is so special about Italian fashion? What makes it relevant to the fast-moving pace of today's society? Perhaps, in part, it's the clever integration of traditionally expert workmanship with cutting-edge technology. Craftspeople are now working with new technologies, such as 3-D printing, to make manufacturing more efficient, and the end result more affordable. Fashion is Italy's third-largest industry. To maintain this status, Italy must look to the future, as "fashion forward" takes on a whole new meaning.
Paris was long designated a fashion headquarters of the world, and designers like Coco Chanel, Christian Dior, Hubert de Givenchy and Yves Saint Laurent dominated 20th-century fashion trends. Following World War II, however, Italy began its ascendance in the industry, starting in Florence with Giovan Battista Giorgini's historic "fashion parade" in 1951. Florence continues to make fashion news with its annual ready-to-wear menswear show, as well as the city's ongoing support of local craftsmanship. Florence is also the home of Polimoda, a highly regarded fashion school that emphasizes the preservation of traditional skills.
Along with the Italian film industry, high fashion spread to Rome in the 1950s and 1960s. Visionary directors such as Federico Fellini had a great influence on fashion. From the decadence of "La Dolce Vita" to the duality of appearance and reality in "The Clowns," Fellini's Roman dreamscapes informed the stylistic sensibilities of the Italian avant-garde. Rome is still a place for innovation in design, while at the same time preserving its precious heritage. In fact, the esteemed fashion house Fendi Roma has not only celebrated its own place in cinematic history with a pop-up theatre spotlighting fashions it has contributed to major films, but it has also contributed millions of euros to the renovation of classic Roman landmarks, such as the Trevi Fountain. Other houses have joined in the preservation efforts, aiding in the restoration of the Spanish Steps and the Colosseum.
Milan was already a manufacturing center, well-known for its small industries. Workshops produced leather goods (particularly handbags and shoes) and textiles, and with increased output made possible by advances in technology, Milan rose to the top of the fashion world, becoming known as "Fashion Capital of the World" by the 21st century. Top design houses such as Armani, Dolce & Gabbana, Miu Miu, Prada, Valentino, Versace, and many others have made their headquarters in the city. Milan's biannual Fashion Weeks, featuring the spring and fall collections of the top names in haute style, are highly anticipated and well attended by men and women of means – from the old aristocracy to the newest pop celebrities.
The exquisite handiwork for which Italy is so famous can be traced back to the Renaissance. Wealthy families, such as the House of Medici in Florence, could afford to garb themselves in the most luxurious textiles and elaborate designs. Every tiny detail was carefully incorporated into an opulent display that declared the wearer's high status. This sort of thing was an early example of what Thorstein Veblen, hundreds of years later, termed "conspicuous consumption," a self-presentation available only to the rich. Haute couture itself has always been the preserve of the privileged classes, "bespoke" attire that stresses the wearers' taste and individuality as well as their wealth.
By the late 20th century, the winds of change hit the fashion world. While couturiers continued to dress individual wealthy clients, the middle class was searching for affordable clothes that were both stylish and well-crafted. Modern manufacturing techniques enabled these customers to buy clothing from new ready-to-wear lines available from famed designers such as Gianni Versace and Giorgio Armani. Other big names followed suit, and now it's a matter of course for heretofore exclusive design houses to have double lives in prêt-à-porter.
As ready-to-wear garments became not only more affordable but also more than mere cheap knock-offs of high fashion, street style became a big part of the fashion world as a whole. Dazzling fabrics, well-constructed garments and smart accessories filled department stores and chichi boutiques. Ordinary folks could now dress in duds that reflected their own personalities and aesthetics just as much as the rich folk could. The gorgeous colors for which Italian design is so well-known could now be flaunted by everyday consumers.
Modernity brought with it other concerns. As Claudio Marenzi, president of Sistema Moda Italia, explains, "The modern industry demands more and more customized products, business and product sustainability, and a diversified social impact – and these are all issues that we observe in the Italian fashion ecosystem." Italy is working hard to keep its fashion industry both responsible and profitable.
No matter if it's off the rack or made to order, fashionable dress is essentially a collaborative project between maker and wearer: The maker's creative vision and the wearer's own ideas as to what works for her act of self-presentation. When faced with such an abundance of choices offered in ready-to-wear these days, you can decide on your own style.
This is especially true in Italy, where the populace has a rich tradition of and appreciation for beauty in all its guises, as well as for long-lasting durability. True style lasts more than one season; Italians recognize this. There's a regeneration of style through a constant re-evaluation and reinterpretation of the Italian aesthetic: a combination of careful craftsmanship, vibrant color and flowing lines.
Do you want to follow the Italian way of fashion? Then, take a look at Florence, Rome and especially Milan: take note of what's coming down the runways, but also take a walk through the city streets and see what everyday Italians are wearing. They may take a cue from haute couture, but then they expand and personalize and make their clothes their own. Just as important as the clothes themselves is the attitude of the wearers – confident, dashing, polished and daring, all at the same time.

Q: Undefined offset notice in a line that doesn't access an array value I have a line of code that simply calls a function with a number of parameters (actually 14 of them...).
It doesn't access an array value (i.e. doesn't do array[i]).
list($fs_response, $flume_response, $create_queues_response, $hdfs_response, $impala_msg) = performAllUpdates($fs_backup, $new_item, $flume, $flume_backup, $logger, $hdfs_backup, $hdfs_local_copy, $properties, $env, $hdfs_controller, $python, $hdfa_response, $impala_msg, $create_queues_response);
However I'm getting a Notice: Undefined offset: 4 on this line for some reason.
Any idea?

A: In order for you to successfully extract an array of 5 elements like you tried via "list", you need to make sure the performAllUpdates function returns an array of 5 elements minimum. For example, the following return statement in the function will work:
return array($response1,$response2,$response3,$response4,$response5);

But of course $response1 through $response5 need to be replaced with actual values or variables used in the function.
I also recommend modifying the function to return the array always, and if the function is meant to produce an error based on invalid input, then put in invalid values for the array. For example, you can use this return statement to show an error:
return array(-1,-1,-1,-1,-1);

That way, your attempt to receive 5 elements will always be successful and then you can test the results by checking the values of any of the 5 variables you asked for from the function.
